　　 　These days, major e-commerce platforms have launched the "New Year Festival", and Li Dian, a Beijing citizen, is also busy buying in buy buy, but she feels more rational recently. "Now I won’t spend a lot of time in the live room, but I want to take a few minutes to go to the live room of the head anchor when I want to buy something, browse the products of the day, buy them if necessary, and quit the live room immediately if I don’t." Li Dian once bought a lot of good things with good quality and low price in the live broadcast room, and also encountered "things are not as good as the anchor said" or even quality problems. "But overall, the live broadcast industry has become more and more standardized recently."

　　 　On December 20th, 2021, the Inspection Bureau of Hangzhou Taxation Bureau of Zhejiang Province informed that Huang Wei (net name: Viya), the network anchor, had been punished by tax administration according to law, and the tax was recovered, the late payment fee was added and the total fine was 1.341 billion yuan. Subsequently, Viya’s platform accounts were blocked. As soon as the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar. People were both surprised at the wealth myth created by online celebrity’s economy and at how many chaos there were in the live broadcast industry.

　　 　Indeed, this is not the first time that anchor online celebrity has "overturned". "Water Army" swipes bills, sells fakes and evades taxes … … Online celebrity’s economic turnover, which has been refreshed repeatedly, is bound up with all kinds of chaos that has never stopped. In the past two years, with the introduction of various management measures and the strengthening of tax supervision, a clear signal has emerged — —

　　 　The period when online celebrity’s economy ran like a runaway wild horse, such as live broadcast with goods, has passed in a hubbub. Online celebrity’s economy will have a long-term future only if it is standardized in development, developed in standardization and changed into a healthier growth mode.

　　Triumphant: Last year, the live broadcast market was nearly 2 trillion yuan.

　　 　“3、2、1！ Link! " "Buy it", these familiar slogans, were not "hot" more than two years ago. In Li Dian’s impression, he probably heard the names of Li Jiaqi and other head anchors in 2019, but he didn’t watch the live broadcast at that time. "At that time, I didn’t even know where to watch the live broadcast. After chatting with friends, I realized that Taobao actually had an App dedicated to watching the live broadcast." Li Dian recalled that after the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020, he spent less time going out and more time at home. Slowly, she started shopping with the head anchor.

　　 　Looking back at the development of e-commerce live broadcast, with the help of the influx of capital flows and the epidemic, the whole industry has made great strides in the past two or three years, and some media even used "rapid ripening" to describe the development of this industry.

　　 　"During the epidemic, many businesses were blocked from operating offline, and the inventory pressure was high. This sales method of live broadcast with goods has found a way out for shops with sales difficulties, and also meets the needs of consumers. With the active promotion of e-commerce platforms and shopping malls, live delivery has developed rapidly. " Pan Helin, member of the Information and Communication Economy Expert Committee of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and executive director of the Digital Economy Research Institute of Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, said.

　　 　According to the Research Report of China Live E-commerce Industry in 2021 released by iResearch, by the end of 2020, the number of live e-commerce users in China reached 388 million, accounting for nearly 40% of the total netizens, and nearly two-thirds of users made purchases after watching the live broadcast. According to the enterprise survey data, in 2020, the number of registered new live broadcast enterprises in China increased by 10 times compared with 2016. Online celebrity’s economy, such as e-commerce live broadcast, attracted a large number of practitioners to enter the market, and the number of MCN agencies engaged in online celebrity brokerage achieved a spurt growth from more than 150 in 2015 to more than 20,000 in 2020. The report pointed out that nearly 1,000 live broadcast rooms with sales exceeding 100 million yuan will be born in 2020, and it is estimated that the size of the live broadcast market will be close to 2 trillion yuan in 2021.

　　 　Online celebrity traffic anchor’s super liquidity has attracted many stars and entrepreneurs, trying to get a slice of it. Judging from the overall sales record, the live broadcast of "Fire Out of the Circle" not only makes many new domestic brands well known, but also opens up more sales for agricultural and sideline products, which also drives the rapid growth of online consumption. According to the latest data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2021, the national online retail sales increased by 14.1% over the previous year, among which the online retail sales of physical goods increased by 12%, with an average growth rate of 13.4% in two years, which was significantly higher than that of offline consumption.

　　 　Undoubtedly, running all the way’s live broadcast with goods and other online celebrity economies have promoted the development of digital economy. "The live broadcast involves a wide range of goods, and the content display and affordable discounts of the live broadcast have stimulated the enthusiasm of consumers, contributed to the prosperity of China’s consumer market, and also played an important role in promoting the development of domestic goods." Pan and Lin said.

　　 　Zhao Ping, vice president of the Research Institute of China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, told the reporter that as an iterative mode of traditional e-commerce, live broadcast with goods has accelerated the high growth of online consumption, and online interaction and all-round display of goods have made it easier for consumers to understand and choose goods, which is conducive to expanding the scale of consumption, creating more consumption growth points and further exerting the pulling effect of consumption on economic growth.

　　Frequent chaos: exaggerating propaganda, selling fake goods, and "water army" brushing orders are endless.

　　 　Like any other industry that grows wildly, online celebrity’s cargo carrying industry is experiencing problems at the same time, just like a gorgeous robe covered with lice, behind which is a "chicken feather".

　　 　During the Double Eleven last year, Zhejiang Consumer Protection Committee conducted a consumer inspection on the live broadcasts of five platforms and 17 anchors from Taobao, Pinduoduo, JD.COM, Aauto Quicker and Tik Tok. It is found that five anchors, such as Timor Little Crazy and Yunyun Live Room, have some problems, such as exaggerating propaganda, using absolute advertising language and comparing prices with other live rooms. Knowing that the quality of anchor products such as YEATION and Rongwei No.7 (Xiao Xuan Ge) does not meet the standard; In Li Jiaqi and Baibai Rabbit Live Studio, 1 batch and 2 batches of commodity labels were found to be irregular.

　　 　This is just the tip of the iceberg. Previously, the anchor Simba received much attention because of the "fake bird’s nest" incident. In addition to him, there are many anchors selling fakes. From time to time, the products in the live broadcast rooms of anchors such as Viya and Li Jiaqi have exposed the quality problems, and consumers often encounter the phenomenon that anchors do nothing after sale and kick balls with merchants.

　　 　From the price point of view, Li Jiaqi, Viya and L ‘Oré al had a dispute over pricing during the Double Eleven last year. At that time, some consumers found that the price of products purchased in the live broadcast room in Li Jiaqi was higher than that in the L ‘Oré al store, and L ‘Oré al explained that it was due to the superposition of official cross-store coupons of Tmall. At that time, the public opinion was quickly divided into two waves. Some people thought that L ‘Oré al’s commitment to the maximum intensity of the whole year was not achieved, which was a sign of dishonesty; Some people think that it is unreasonable for the head anchor to demand the lowest price of the whole network by virtue of its near monopoly position. The term "the world has been suffering from live broadcast for a long time" immediately boarded the hot search. "If you don’t squat down the live broadcast rooms of these anchors, don’t you deserve to buy low prices?" Some netizens issued such a question.

　　 　Some small and medium-sized businesses don’t have much say in the face of well-known anchors, and the actual sales volume in the live broadcast room is not as good as expected after paying high pit fees. The "illusion" created by the "water army" and false transactions has made many small and medium-sized businesses "spend money to buy a loneliness". According to media reports, a company and a online celebrity anchor recently organized a live broadcast of poverty alleviation to help sell agricultural products. The transaction amount was about 450,000 yuan, but the actual sales amount was only 100,000 yuan, accounting for 78% of the total. Similar things are not uncommon. "On the one hand, the falsification of influence indicators such as the virtual high number of viewers and the water injection of sales data has formed an industrial chain. On the other hand, horizontal competition such as malicious brushing, fancy kicking, and false reporting has also polluted the live broadcast ecology. " As early as after the Double Eleven in 2020, China Consumers Association wrote in the report.

　　 　In Pan Helin’s view, there are many problems in the development of online celebrity live broadcast. For example, through the way of water army drainage, improperly gain traffic attention; False propaganda, wrong goods and poor after-sales service; Virtual standard pricing, merchants and anchors raise the price first and then give discounts. Consumers actually do not get benefits, but pay a lot of time costs; Pit fees and withdrawal make the channel cost rise, which is either borne by suppliers or passed on to consumers; Give up the lower limit for traffic, break through the boundary of content creation and so on.

　　 　"These behaviors have undermined the market economic order, affected the user experience and infringed on the rights and interests of consumers. In addition, with the emergence of Matthew effect and 28 phenomena in the live broadcast industry, anchors with head traffic have further raised the threshold for live broadcast, and the increased cost has put some pressure on merchants. " Pan Helin’s view is supported by figures: although the types of anchors are increasingly diversified, the Matthew effect of anchors with goods is prominent, and Li Jiaqi and other head anchors attract most of the traffic. According to the survey and calculation, the Top10′ s head anchor has a market share of nearly 55.75%.

　　 　Zhao Ping said that these problems have sounded the alarm for the development of China’s digital economy. Although the development prospect of digital economy is broad, anchors and enterprises should be upright and innovative, and jointly create a fair market order and a consumer-friendly consumption environment to promote the healthy development of digital economy.

　　Regulatory measures: multi-departments tighten the "reins" to make the industry develop healthily.

　　 　After Viya was punished for tax evasion, the tax authorities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong and other places issued notices, requiring celebrity artists and network anchors to pay taxes by self-examination as soon as possible.

　　 　This is not the first time that the regulatory authorities have taken action. In the past two years, the management methods and professional norms of online marketing such as live broadcast and delivery have gradually landed. In November 2020, the General Administration of Market Supervision issued the Interim Provisions on Regulating Promotion Behavior, and then issued the Guiding Opinions on Strengthening the Supervision of Webcast Marketing Activities to strictly regulate the Webcast marketing behavior. On March 15, 2021, the General Administration of Market Supervision issued the Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Online Transactions, which restricts online transactions such as live broadcast from four aspects: online transaction operators, online trading platform operators, supervision and management, and legal responsibilities. In April, seven departments jointly issued the "Management Measures for Webcast Marketing (Trial)", which clarified the behavior red line for the practitioners of live broadcast marketing activities; In September, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism issued the "Administrative Measures for Network Performance Brokers", which included all the subjects of live broadcast activities in the scope of management. Undoubtedly, the regulatory authorities are tightening the "reins" of online celebrity’s economy, such as regulating live broadcasts.

　　 　When answering a reporter’s question about Viya’s tax evasion case, the Inspection Bureau of Hangzhou Taxation Bureau said that the platform economy is a new format of economic development, which has played a positive role in better meeting the needs of consumers, promoting the transformation of old and new kinetic energy, and promoting high-quality economic development. In the process of rapid development of platform economy, some network anchors’ illegal tax behaviors have disturbed the order of tax collection and management and destroyed the market environment of fair competition. The tax authorities will investigate and deal with the illegal tax acts of network anchors according to laws and regulations, which is conducive to the long-term standardized and healthy development of the platform economy. State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China also expressed his firm support for the Hangzhou tax authorities to seriously deal with Viya’s tax evasion cases according to law. At the same time, tax authorities at all levels are required to strictly investigate and punish all kinds of tax evasion, resolutely safeguard the authority of the national tax law and promote social fairness and justice; It is required to conscientiously implement various preferential tax and fee policies, continuously optimize tax and fee services, and promote the standardization and development of new economy and new formats in development.

　　 　This statement made by the tax authorities reflects the consistent attitude of various regulatory authorities: We never deny the contribution of online celebrity anchor to promoting the development of platform economy and the contribution of platform economy to China’s economic and social development. However, whether it is the live broadcast industry or the platform economy, in order to develop healthily for a long time, we must bid farewell to chaos, standardize in development and develop in standardization.

　　 　Zhao Ping believes that in order for online celebrity to grow in a healthier way, it is necessary to bring the economy of online celebrity, such as live broadcasting with goods, into the legal development track, so that it can keep the legal bottom line while developing rapidly and conduct business and innovation activities legally and legally. It is necessary to strengthen the compliance supervision of online celebrity’s economic entities and related behaviors, starting from all aspects of online celebrity’s economic supply chain, from product production, online sales to after-sales service, to meet the requirements of product quality and safety law, advertising law, anti-unfair competition law, anti-monopoly law, consumer rights protection law and other relevant laws and regulations, so as to maintain fair competition market order and protect consumers’ legitimate rights and interests.

　　 　"Yes ‘ The problem of water army ’ , to find together, investigate together, can’t let consumers be ‘ False flow ’ Guide, so as not to undermine the fairness of market competition. Quality and after-sales issues require the relevant departments to strengthen supervision, and organizations such as the Consumers Association need to take action to help consumers protect their rights. In view of the pit parking fee and drawing, industry organizations should issue an initiative to limit the drawing ratio and not excessively increase the cost of merchants. In view of the problem of tax evasion, the tax authorities should crack down on this illegal act on the one hand, and build a normalized tax monitoring system on the other. For the marketing behavior dominated by traffic and abundant, the e-commerce platform should find it early and dispose of it in time through algorithms. The company where the live e-commerce is located should also do a good job in compliance education for the anchor with goods and constrain the anchor behavior. " Pan helin suggested.

　　 　Gao Baohua, a researcher at the Institute of International Trade and Economic Cooperation of the Ministry of Commerce, said that it is necessary to strengthen the key management and compliance inspection of head live broadcast rooms, head anchors and accounts, high-flow or high-turnover live broadcast activities, guide all kinds of subjects engaged in webcasting marketing activities, strengthen industry self-discipline, and build a standardized live broadcast supply chain system from multiple dimensions such as commodity supply, consumer rights protection and platform construction.

　　 　Pan and Lin bluntly said that whether the live e-commerce will ultimately benefit the society depends on two points: First, whether the live e-commerce promotes the circulation and consumption of goods. Second, whether the live e-commerce has reduced the cost of sales channels while maintaining compliance operations, so that both suppliers and consumers can benefit.

　　 　With the tightening of the "reins" of supervision, we expect that after the shock and adjustment, online celebrity’s cargo-carrying industry can really benefit more merchants and consumers and can go more steadily and for a long time.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Wuhan, October 20th Title: Planes that can "swim" and ships that can "fly" — — Three highlights of domestic large amphibious aircraft AG600′ s first flight on water

　　Xinhua News Agency reporters Pi Shuchu, Hu Zhe and Li Jinfeng

　　On October 20, the "Kunlong" AG600 slid to the surface of the water to prepare for takeoff. At 9: 05 on the same day, the domestic large-scale amphibious aircraft "Jilong" AG600 successfully achieved its first flight on the water at Zhanghe Airport in Jingmen, Hubei. Xinhua News Agency reporter Cheng Minshe

　　"Kun can turn feathers into the sky, and the wind is 90,000; The dragon can shake the scales across the sea and hit the water for 3 thousand. "

　　On the 20th, a large amphibious aircraft independently developed by China — — "Kunlong" AG600 successfully made its first flight on the water at Zhanghe Airport in Jingmen, Hubei.

　　At this point, China’s big plane has finally taken a complete step of "going into the sea", and the outline of building an aviation power has become clearer.

　　Braving the wind and waves: How many hurdles does "Kunlong" need to go through to hit the water?

　　Slide at high speed, take off, and gently enter the water and splash. In everyone’s expectation, after successfully completing the first flight on land, the "Zhenlong" AG600 braved the wind and waves to hand over a bright first flight answer sheet on the water.

　　“‘ Kunlong ’ It is currently the largest amphibious aircraft under research in the world. " Huang Lingcai, chief designer of AG600 aircraft, said that although "Jilong" had successfully made its first flight on land in Zhuhai at the end of last year, for an amphibious large aircraft, it must undergo the test of taking off and landing on the water before it can be called amphibious.

　　On October 17th, Huang Lingcai, the chief designer of AG600 aircraft, introduced the features of this aircraft (video screenshot). Xinhua News Agency reporter Xiong Qishe

　　At present, there are few countries in the world that can develop amphibious large aircraft, and the key water take-off and landing are in technical blockade. The first flight of "Kunlong" on water faces at least three major difficulties:

　　— — Wade through the water. There are planes on the shore and big ships on the water. The fuselage and wingspan are similar to Boeing 737, and the take-off weight reaches more than 50 tons. How to ensure that the structure of the aircraft is watertight when it is on the water? Compared with the ship speed of about 30 knots, the take-off speed of AG600 on the water surface reaches 100 knots, and the water surface exerts great pressure on the bottom structure. Under the influence of surface wind and waves, it is a great test whether the aircraft is stable and the control system is normal.

　　— — Operation off. Compared with the land flight, the landing gear is different for the first flight on water. The water take-off and landing depends on the hull taking off and landing on the water surface. In addition to the influence of the water surface environment, the aerodynamic characteristics of the hull and the aircraft itself need to be repeatedly practiced and accurately mastered by the pilot. In particular, it is much more difficult to master the attitude of leaving and landing than landing and landing on land.

　　— — Airworthiness clearance. As a civil aircraft, it must obtain the airworthiness certificate issued by the national civil aviation authority before it can carry out flight activities. AG600 is the first time to carry out airworthiness review of water chartered flight in China, and the relevant reference materials and work experience are relatively scarce. In addition, the localization rate of the whole machine equipment is high, and it is difficult to review the airworthiness between different standards.

　　On the basis of intensive experiments in the early stage, "Kunlong" made more than 10 sorties of low, medium and high-speed taxiing on Zhanghe Reservoir in Jingmen. Through real-time monitoring, the aerodynamic maneuverability, stability and watertightness of the aircraft are verified, and the aircraft systems work normally and stably, so that the flight crew can be familiar with and master the water taxiing, take-off and landing characteristics of the AG600 aircraft.

　　At the same time, the AG600 aircraft development team carried out a large number of targeted tests and analysis and evaluation work. After reviewing 365 test and analysis tasks, the Shanghai Airworthiness Certification Center of the Civil Aviation Administration focused on reviewing and issuing the first water flight license. Test flight outline, technical quality and release evaluation of the first flight on water & HELIP; … After a series of preparatory work is completed, the AG600 has passed all the thresholds, waiting for the first flight on the water.

　　"Report, AG600 successfully completed the first flight mission on the water!" The brief and powerful report voice of the first flight crew made the first flight site once again a sea of celebration.

　　Zhao Jingbo, general manager of the Zhuhai Base of Aviation Industry and deputy commander of the AG600 project, said that the first flight on the water was particularly smooth, and the monitoring data was basically consistent with the theoretical calculation, which indicated that "Xunlong" had fully taken off and landed on the water and truly became a "meeting ‘ You ’ The plane "and" will ‘ Fly ’ The ship. "

　　"The AG600 large-scale amphibious aircraft has verified the ability of taking off, flying in the air and landing on the water, successfully completed the major milestone of the first flight on the water, and took another solid step in the development process." Tan Ruisong, chairman of China Aviation Industry Corporation, said.

　　Rescue and fire fighting: what is the use of large amphibious aircraft?

　　Pumping water quickly, large fire area. There are 4 watertight boxes in the hull part, which can draw up to 12 tons of water at a time during sliding, and the fastest time is only 20 seconds; When you arrive at the fire, you can throw water at a height of 30 meters to 50 meters from the treetops, and a single throw of water can cover nearly 10 basketball courts.

　　Long voyage and long battery life. The rescue radius can reach 1500 kilometers, which is equivalent to the distance from Sanya to Zengmu shoal in the southernmost part of China. The flight speed is more than ten times that of the salvage ship, and the disadvantages of slow rescue speed and short legs of helicopters are completely eliminated.

　　High wave resistance and wide land and sea uses. The hull also has a high wave-resistant design, which can not only search at low altitude on the water surface, but also carry out surface rescue operations under the complex meteorological conditions of 2-meter-high waves, and the water emergency rescue can rescue 50 people in distress at one time. Remote island reefs and plateau lakes can show their talents in material transportation … …

　　The rich functional uses of "Kunlong" make it a veritable "all-rounder".

　　"AG600 is a large-scale special-purpose civil aircraft first developed in China to meet the urgent needs of forest fire fighting and water rescue." Luo Ronghuai, general manager of China Aviation Industry Corporation, said that the AG600 aircraft is a major aviation equipment urgently needed for the construction of the national emergency rescue system, which is of great significance for improving the supply capacity and level of domestic civil aircraft products, effectively promoting the leap-forward development of China’s emergency rescue aviation equipment system, and boosting the construction of a maritime power.

　　In order to achieve and meet various design indicators and functional requirements, since the establishment of the AG600 project in 2009, the research team has continuously overcome difficulties, completed more than 100 large-scale tests and more than 3,000 equipment safety tests, and confirmed thousands of components manufacturing compliance projects and tens of thousands of manufacturing compliance inspection procedures.

　　"According to ‘ Amphibious, multi-type and serial development ’ The design idea, from project establishment, design, joint manufacturing by major aircraft manufacturers, to airworthiness signing and final assembly, almost every step of AG600 is an attempt and breakthrough of large special aircraft. " Huang Lingcai said.

　　Compared with the conventional civil aviation aircraft, the main landing gear of the AG600 can only be stowed in the fairing of the fuselage level because the bottom of the fuselage is the shape of the bottom of the ship and the wing is the upper wing. The landing gear of the AG600 is higher than that of the conventional aircraft.

　　"As the highest single-strut landing gear in China, in addition to the structural strength requirements, it will also have similar problems of walking on stilts, and the high center of gravity is easy to be unstable." Cheng Zhihang, a designer of Zhuhai General Aviation R&D and Manufacturing Base, said that after three-dimensional modeling and motion simulation technology, the project team continued to test and solve problems, and finally manufactured the highest and most complicated single-leg landing gear in China.

　　Chen Yuanxian, deputy general manager of China Aviation Industry Corporation, said that the successful first flight of "Kunlong" on the water indicates that China has completely mastered the completely independent intellectual property rights of the overall design, aerodynamic structure and avionics system of large-scale amphibious aircraft. "Next, AG600 will speed up the development and enter the market as soon as possible to meet the needs of the national emergency rescue system construction for large-scale aviation equipment."

　　The future can be expected: What new trends does the big plane highlight in China aviation development?

　　Yun 20 carried out boundary limit test, C919 continued flight test and strived for airworthiness approval as soon as possible … … This time, with the successful first flight of the AG600 on the water, China’s domestic large aircraft research and development road continues to be steady and far-reaching.

　　For a period of time, "Made in China" or "Assembled in China"? "Heart disease" and other "stuck neck" problems and "core-missing pain" in the fields of aero-engines, avionics systems and aviation materials are still unavoidable problems in China aviation manufacturing industry.

　　Liu Daxiang, an aero-engine expert and academician of China Academy of Engineering, once admitted that aero-engines are our "weakness" compared with aviation powers. China aircraft calls for a strong "China heart", and aviation "key technologies" such as aero-engines, avionics systems and high-end materials need to be broken through.

　　"The product of the wind is not thick, and its negative wings are powerless." The four engines assembled on the AG600 this time are domestic turboprop 6 engines, and the aero-engines in China are moving from "basically available" to "basically usable".

　　Throughout the world, in terms of amphibious aircraft, Japan currently has an advanced amphibious aircraft US-2; Russia’s "Bie" series seaplanes are widely used in the military and civilian fields; The CL-415 amphibious aircraft developed by Canada can be used for search, patrol and rescue, and is equipped with the Canadian Coast Guard. Lockheed Company of the United States has been engaged in the research and development of seaplanes for a long time, and has provided various design schemes for the navy to choose from.

　　The highest and most complicated single-strut landing gear in China, innovative hull structure and advanced aerodynamic layout … … Faced with many thorny technical problems, the main research and development team behind AG600, with an average age of only 35 years, has always pursued national interests, infiltrated youthful passion into the design, research and development and manufacturing of every component, and wrote the struggle answer sheet of aviation in the new era with practical actions.

　　Miao Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that from the start of ARJ21 to the development of aircraft such as C919 and AG600, it marks that China’s civil aviation industry has stood at a new starting point in the new era and made new progress, which indicates that the development of China’s civil aviation industry will enter the fast lane. "It will be a huge impetus to the structural adjustment, transformation and upgrading of the country’s entire manufacturing industry."

　　"Tonghua Wan Li Danshan Road, the young phoenix is clearer than the old phoenix." Constantly introduce new products and constantly sprint the cutting edge — — Looking forward to the future, people will not only see the AG600, but also see more and more China wings flying for nine days.

　　After China’s self-developed large transport plane Yun 20 was delivered and installed, and the C919 passenger plane made its first flight, the large amphibious aircraft AG600, one of the three brothers of China’s large aircraft, also successfully made its first flight on the water, marking an important step in the construction of China’s aviation power.

　　"Kunlong" hit the water and dreamed of taking off. With the support of the three domestic big aircraft brothers, there will be more domestic big aircraft coming out in the future, and the pedigree of multi-model and multi-purpose China aircraft will be more complete, which will become another vivid annotation of the Chinese nation’s great rejuvenation of the Chinese dream. This requires China’s aviation industry to make persistent efforts, continue to carry forward the spirit of serving the country by aviation, earnestly implement the new development concept, vigorously promote innovation and development, and strive to build an internationally competitive brand made in China, so as to transform "Made in China" into "Created in China" and strive to achieve the goal of building an aviation power!

　　Since September this year, many cities, including Quanzhou, Fujian and Lanzhou, Gansu, have been exposed to have loosened the network car-sharing policy.

　　Recently, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province also held a legislative hearing on the Regulations of Hangzhou Municipality on the Administration of Passenger Taxi (Revised Draft). It is planned to bring the network car into the scope of passenger taxi management, and at the same time adjust the vehicle standards and driver access standards of the network car.

　　Cheng Huiqiang, a researcher at the State Council Development Research Center, said in an interview with The Paper that the online car ride itself is one of the ways to deepen the reform of the taxi industry. The policy adjustment according to local conditions reflects the government’s open and scientific attitude towards emerging formats. Because there is still a time difference in the implementation of the network car policy in various places, the exploration of the first cities can provide reference for the subsequent cities to formulate local network car rules.

　　In July 2016, the Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Booking Taxi Management Services was issued, which took effect on November 1 of the same year, and China took the lead in recognizing the legality of online car booking. Subsequently, many rules for the management of network car were issued, including many requirements for drivers’ household registration and operating vehicle standards.

　　Detailed rules for the management of loosening the network car in some cities

　　Since September this year, Quanzhou and Lanzhou have been exposed to the local version of the network car management rules. Hangzhou recently held a hearing on relevant policies.

　　Judging from the changes in the rules of the above three cities, it mainly includes the following contents:

　　1，Reduce the access standards for vehicle prices.

　　Compared with the previous landing rules, Quanzhou, Lanzhou and Hangzhou have all set the lowest price standard for online car.

　　Quanzhou originally required that the price of the online car should not be less than 150,000 yuan, which needs to be more than 50% higher than the mainstream taxi. It is now adjusted that the vehicle price shall not be less than 1.2 times the taxi price. Lanzhou City will adjust "the price of online car is more than 140,000" to 1.5 times that of mainstream taxis.

　　According to the calculation of the media in the two places, thanks to this, the entry threshold for car prices in the two places has dropped by more than 30% to 50%.

　　2. Lower the vehicle configuration standard.

　　Previously, Quanzhou rules required that the network car must be equipped with a positioning device with driving record function and an emergency alarm device, and the Beidou satellite positioning system must be adopted. The new rules cancelled the designated system and only required the same technical conditions.

　　Lanzhou is in the new regulations.The relevant standards of "the wheelbase of vehicles is 2700 mm", "the wheelbase of new energy vehicles is more than 2650 mm" and "providing wireless Internet access, mobile phone chargers, paper towels, umbrellas, etc. for passengers" have been deleted.

　　The revised draft of Hangzhou simply cancels the original vehicle wheelbase and price standard, and treats the network car and taxi equally.

　　3, lower the driver’s entry threshold.

　　In the new regulations (drafts) of Lanzhou and Hangzhou, the city’s household registration or residence certificate will be obtained as the entry threshold for online car drivers.Deleted the time limit for obtaining the residence permit of this city for one year.

　　4, reduce the difficulty of the exam.

　　On September 8, the Ministry of Transport issued the Notice on Reforming the Work Related to the Qualification Examination for Taxi Drivers, and the number of questions in the question bank was reduced from 1,200 to 500, and the ratio of the number of questions in the question bank to the number of questions in the test paper did not exceed 10: 1.

　　5, reduce administrative duplication of examination and approval.

　　Originally, if the network car platform wants to settle in Quanzhou, it must submit an application to the Fujian transportation authorities, and the online service capability of the platform will be reviewed. Now it is adjusted to be verified by the registration place of the platform company to reduce duplicate certification.

　　6, reduce administrative intervention in the market.

　　According to the original rules of Quanzhou, the driver of the online car can’t "marry one woman and two" and can’t access two or more online car platforms at the same time. The new regulation cancels this regulation, and it is adjusted for the driver to sign an agreement with the platform vendor and act according to the agreement.

　　It is worth noting that Hangzhou has also tried to incorporate the network car into the passenger taxi management system. To this end, Hangzhou tries its best to meet the existing taxi standards in terms of access to online car models, and proposes that the Hangzhou cruise taxi and online car exam will be implemented with "two exams in one" and "two certificates in one", so that drivers who pass the exam can not only open a car, but also drive a taxi to achieve interactive flow.

　　The grey management state still exists.

　　Regarding the adjustment of the new regulations on multi-network car-sharing, The Paper inquired about the opinions of many network car-sharing platforms, and generally responded that it is not convenient to say more now.

　　According to the data of the Ministry of Transport, as of the end of July this year, 133 of the 338 cities at or above the prefecture level in China have issued detailed rules for the implementation of online car rental, and 86 are openly soliciting opinions.

　　Some cities have been unable to introduce the detailed rules for the management of network car, and the slow progress of some network car platforms has led to the gray operation of network car drivers in many places.

　　In August this year, Guizhou Metropolis Daily reported that Anshun City had been unable to introduce new regulations on online car rental. In the face of the special action of illegal operation in the whole city, more than 4,000 network cars in the city have become "illegal vehicles".

　　At the same time, the number of cities that the network car platform company is allowed to land is not too much.

　　In July this year, according to the People’s Daily, there are more than 130 online car platform companies in the current market. Up to now, 19 online car platform companies such as Didi Chuxing, Shenzhou Special Car, Shouqi Car and Caocao Special Car have obtained business licenses, and Didi Chuxing, Shenzhou Special Car, Shouqi Car, Yizhi and Caocao Special Car have obtained business licenses in 22, 33, 29, 8 and 13 cities respectively.

　　Recently, the General Manager’s Office of the Central Radio and Television General Station officially authorized Yangguang Media Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yangguang Media Group") to exclusively operate the broadcast frequency live stream of the General Station in the car networking system. This means that the existing radio frequencies owned, controlled and managed by the main station and the new radio frequencies in the future must be connected to the car-playing service (including live broadcast and delayed listening) through the "cloud listening" car system or through cooperation with Yangguang Media Group.

　　"Cloud Listening" is a new national 5G sound media platform launched by the Central Radio and Television General Station (hereinafter referred to as "the General Station") in March 2020. It is the only audio client under the General Station and bears the important mission of the strategic transformation and integration of the General Station’s broadcasting.

　　"Cloud Listening" began to lay out intelligent networked automobile business from the beginning of its launch, and jointly developed car networking products with mainstream automobile manufacturers and solution providers to meet the different listening needs of users in travel scenarios.

　　"Cloud Listening" leads the industry standard with high-quality content, and promotes the standardization of the mobile audio market. It continues to lay out multi-terminal and full-application scenarios such as mobile phones, cars, tablets and smart wearable devices, and provides users with high-quality sound products and services such as radio stations, audio books and audio programs.

　　This exclusive operation authorization will have a far-reaching impact on the standardized development of the intelligent networked automobile industry. In the future, only through the cooperation of "Yunting" or Yangguang Media Group can the live broadcast stream of the main station broadcast frequency be connected to the car networking system of the car brand and the after-loading car networking system developed by the after-loading product company, which is expected to end the situation that the radio station of the car networking system was used indiscriminately in the past and ensure the car owners to enjoy the rights and interests of safe and standardized content services.

　　In recent years, the main station has continuously increased its efforts in the protection and management of copyright assets, standardized the copyright market and communication order of the Internet audio-visual industry, and made full use of its own content copyright advantages to support the independent platform to become stronger and bigger. As early as 2019, the General Station issued the "Statement of the Central Radio and Television General Station on Strengthening the Protection of Copyright Assets", which clarified the copyright scope of the General Station, and said that it would strengthen the monitoring and maintenance of its copyright assets, take all effective measures according to law, and resolutely crack down on any infringement of the legitimate rights and interests of the copyright assets of the General Station.

　　The person in charge of "Yunting" said that the next step will be to continuously strengthen the platform construction, make full use of, develop and operate the audio content resources of the main station, organically combine copyright protection and operation, extend the audio content value of the main station, and enhance its influence, communication and market value. At the same time, it will give full play to the advantages of the new media platform of the main station with an open and integrated attitude, accelerate the cooperation process with car manufacturers and solution providers, promote the signing cooperation with radio stations all over the country, and provide high-quality broadcast live streaming and audio products and services for car companies and car owners.

　　Recently, the latest report released by Canalys, an international market research organization, shows that in 2023, the global smartphone shipments were 1.14 billion units, and China’s Xiaomi, OPPO and Voice were among the top five brands. In terms of sub-regions, China’s mobile phone brands have a high market share in India, Southeast Asia and Africa. In Europe, China’s smartphone brands are also accelerating their layout. With the development and maturity of smart phone industry in China, more and more China brands have gone overseas and gained consumer recognition.

　　Seek business growth in overseas markets

　　"China mobile phone manufacturers are becoming more and more innovative." According to the website of the German newspaper Le Monde, at the recent Mobile World Congress, the glory Magic6 Pro mobile phone uses artificial intelligence technology, and some functions can be controlled by eyes. Previously, Glory launched Magic V2, a foldable smart phone, with a thickness of only 9.9 mm, which is equivalent to that of ordinary mobile phones, which is the first time in the field of foldable smart phones.

　　In recent years, with the development and maturity of China’s smart phone industry, China has become the world’s largest producer and exporter of mobile phones with the help of the wave of the global mobile Internet era. According to the statistics of China General Administration of Customs, in 2023, China exported 13.92 trillion yuan of mechanical and electrical products, accounting for 58.6% of the total export value. In the first two months of 2024, China exported 2.22 trillion yuan of mechanical and electrical products, up 11.8% year-on-year, accounting for 59.1% of the total export value, including 123.745 million mobile phones.

　　According to the statistics of many international market research institutions, by the end of the fourth quarter of 2023, global smartphone sales had been declining for several consecutive quarters, showing a recovery trend. The total smartphone shipments in China market also stopped falling and rebounded in the fourth quarter of 2023.

　　"In the bustling shopping area of downtown Nairobi, billboards of China mobile phone brands such as TECNO, itel and Infinix can be seen everywhere, and blue, red and black and white storefront signs attract customers. These mobile phone brands are all produced by Voice. This Shenzhen-based company once sold mobile phones only in Africa, and then gradually expanded its business to other markets such as Latin America, India, Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia. " The South China Morning Post quoted Ali Sachu, a sub-Saharan geo-economic analyst, as saying: China mobile phone brands are "everywhere in the whole African continent".

　　According to a report quoted by Sputnik, in 2023, China brand smartphones accounted for 79% of Russian imported smartphones, which was 4 percentage points higher than that in 2022 and 29 percentage points higher than that in 2021.

　　Liu Yixuan, research manager of Canalys, analyzed that at present, overseas markets, especially emerging markets, are an important breakthrough for China smart phone brands to seek business growth, and different mobile phone brands also have their own development areas. Xiaomi has made full efforts in markets such as Middle East, Africa, Europe and Latin America. The overseas markets of OPPO and vivo are mainly in the Asia-Pacific region, and the overseas focus of glory is in Europe, Latin America and the Middle East. Seeking business growth in overseas markets is a strategic choice for many China mobile phone brands.

　　From "Winning by Price" to "Excellent Quality and Price"

　　Why do China smart phone brands sail in overseas markets? The technological innovation, industrial chain layout, product positioning and marketing strategy of China smart phone brand have attracted attention in the global mobile phone market. Alceni Thiam, an associate researcher at the European Institute for Outlook and Security, said that China’s products have been "winning by price" in the past to "excellent in quality and price" now, and they have advantages in research and development in smart phones, electric vehicles and other fields. China’s products are being favored by more and more countries.

　　Bai Ming, a member of the Academic Degree Committee of the Ministry of Commerce, said in an interview with this reporter that at present, China’s smart phones have occupied an important position in the international market and have strong market competitiveness in Southeast Asia, Latin America and Africa. The advantages of smart phones in China are as follows: First, the cost performance is high, and the functional design meets the local needs of overseas markets; Second, China has infrastructure cooperation with many countries in the field of communication, which facilitates the matching of smart phones and communication technologies; Third, China’s domestic smart phone industry is mature, with many sub-categories, complete industrial chain and high product update frequency. After full competition in the domestic market, the products have strong "hard power" when participating in overseas market competition.

　　Taking HONOR as an example, Canalys and Counterpoint data show that in the fourth quarter of 2023, it returned to overseas markets for less than two years, and its sales volume in Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and other regions has ranked among the top five in the market, and a global sales service network covering more than 70 countries and regions has been established. Zhao Ming, CEO of Glory Terminal Co., Ltd., said in an interview with this reporter that Glory has maintained a rapid growth trend in the context of the global smartphone market decline, thanks to Glory’s insistence on high-quality development, targeting user needs, strengthening global industrial chain cooperation, and transforming technological innovation into products needed by the market. In addition, glory focuses on adapting to local conditions in different regional markets, providing product portfolios that match the needs of local users, and strengthening communication and cooperation with local partners to better enhance the user experience.

　　Advance into the developed market with "hard power"

　　According to the trend data of smartphone price segment share in China from 2019 to 2023 recently released by IDC, an international market research institute, the high-end market share of China brands above $600 has been growing continuously for five years, reaching 27.4% in 2023, an increase of 3.7 percentage points over 2022, and a full double of that in 2019.

　　According to Canalys data, in the recent fourth quarter of 2023, Apple’s share in the European smartphone market reached 33%, surpassing Samsung for the first time in seven quarters. Among the mobile phone brands in China, Xiaomi’s market share in Europe dropped from 17% to 16%, and Glory’s market share increased from 1% to 3%. At present, entering the developed markets has become a strategic choice for some smart phone brands in China.

　　"2023, as a year of vigorous development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, brings a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and also brings new opportunities and challenges to the global smart terminal market. The European mobile phone market is a representative mature market in the world, with a relatively high proportion of high-end users and large operators, and a high demand for innovative products and high-end brands. " Zhao Ming said that Glory regards Europe as the "second local market" and hopes to enter the European market with "hard power" such as innovative technology and high-end products. For example, glory has invested as much as 10 billion yuan in research and development in the AI field, obtained more than 2,000 AI-related patents, and used platform-level AI technology to promote the application of innovative technologies such as cross-device collaboration and next-generation intention recognition human-computer interaction in smart phones.

　　According to a recent report on the German newspaper Le Monde, it was not easy to buy a non-Apple brand smartphone in Germany a few months ago because there were not many choices. Previously, due to patent disputes, many Android mobile phone brands disappeared from the shelves of European countries. At the beginning of this year, related companies shelved patent disputes. China mobile phone manufacturers, including OPPO, Yijia, vivo and Realme, may try new things in Germany soon. As these brands re-enter the German market, the mobile phone brands that can be selected in the future should be more diversified.

　　"With the emergence of more and more application scenarios and requirements and the development of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, the iterative update of China smartphones in terms of functions and technologies is worth looking forward to." Bai Ming believes that at present, China is still facing a bottleneck in the field of high-end smart phone chips, and it is urgent to continue to promote technological breakthroughs. In addition, in the markets of developed countries in Europe and America, China’s smartphones still face certain development bottlenecks and policy risks, and it is still necessary to speed up localization, strengthen cooperation with local industries, and build a diversified supply chain system.

　　On June 16, local time, US President Trump signed an executive order to adjust the US police practice and qualification standards. The executive order made a statement on the large-scale protests by the American people against police brutality and racial discrimination in the past month, which meant that the government would "conform to public opinion" and make police reform.

　　However, the American media pointed out that the administrative order did not explicitly prohibit some violent law enforcement methods that the people strongly demanded to abolish, and the police system it proposed to improve law enforcement standards was actually "encouragement" rather than restraint. Public opinion believes that the reform of the executive order signed by Trump is weak, and it supports the reform in the open, but it is still a supporter of the police’s tough law enforcement in the dark.

The Washington Post pointed out that the administrative order of police reform signed by Trump is full of formalism.

　　The executive order is to encourage, not to require, the law enforcement of throat lock has not been abolished.

　　Trump told reporters that this executive order will help the police departments in the United States adopt the highest standards to serve their communities. The order stipulates "practice and qualification examination" and "information sharing of police behavior" to avoid employing police officers with bad records and to track down police officers who have committed misconduct in law enforcement.

　　However, the media pointed out that the executive order failed to clearly respond to some key issues, such as the standard and justification of the use of force mentioned in the executive order, but only "encouraged" its implementation; In addition, regarding the law enforcement means of throat lock, the administrative order has not explicitly abolished it, but indicated that it is generally unavailable, but it can be used in the case that "the law allows the use of lethal force".

　　The police surrounded Trump and called him "selfless" and "brave"

　　A number of media pointed out that although the signing of this executive order was caused by African-American Freud’s violent law enforcement by white police, the families of the victims were not invited to attend Trump’s signing ceremony. On the contrary, many military officers and police union personnel were surrounded by Trump. This seems to mean that Trump will never touch these law enforcement officers on which he relies, and how to reconcile the "social problems that deeply split the country" is still far away.

　　In the signing ceremony speech that day, after Trump mentioned the pain experienced by the relatives of the victims, he immediately began to praise the American police for being "brave and selfless" and said that "Americans all know that if there is no police, chaos will occur." The media pointed out that Trump’s signing of this executive order is full of formalism, and he obviously does not want to risk angering law enforcement departments, because these are an important part of his conservative political foundation.

The Washington Post pointed out that Trump "does not want to risk angering law enforcement because it is an important part of his conservative political foundation."

　　Serious problems minimize the police’s mental illness

　　Public opinion generally pointed out that Trump’s executive order made no mention of how to solve the systematic racism problems among law enforcement personnel and comprehensive policy changes. However, these issues are crucial to criminal justice reform. Kendall Thomas, a law professor at Columbia University, believes that Trump did not mention any commitment to serious changes in his executive order, but only focused on police training rather than community safety. Thomas believes that the purpose of Trump’s executive order is only to maintain the status quo, and the moderate reform in accordance with the new provisions of the executive order will only make the police force stronger.

　　Trump has always stressed that police misconduct is a "case" and the number is "very small". Rachel Bako, professor and vice president of criminal law at new york University Law School, believes that this shows that Trump fundamentally refused to admit the existence of the problem in the first place. Bako said that the entire law enforcement system is supportive of those police officers who use violence excessively. Trump has neglected this systematic problem, and the executive order has completely ignored or even mentioned the morbid psychology in the police system and the opposition between the police and the people.

USA-Today pointed out that Trump’s executive order made no mention of how to solve the systematic racism problem among law enforcement personnel and the need for comprehensive reform.

　　The reform of "thin soup and little water" must be intensified by administrative order.

　　On the day Trump signed the executive order, Schumer, the minority leader and Democrat of the Senate, immediately said that Trump’s executive order was "scanty soup and scanty water" and "unable to bring the comprehensive and meaningful changes and accountability required by the American people to American law enforcement agencies."

　　Earlier, the Police Justice Law submitted by the Democratic Party on June 8 called for a major reform of the police system, which explicitly required that police officers be prohibited from using frequently abused methods of law enforcement and arrest, such as lock throat and "no knocking at the door", and at the same time required local police departments to send data on the use of force to the federal government, and made a funding plan to allow state attorneys general to conduct independent procedures to investigate police misconduct or excessive law enforcement. In addition, the proposal will abolish the legal principle called "conditional immunity", and the police can no longer be exempted from civil litigation. These contents are not reflected in the newly signed administrative order.

USA-Today pointed out that there are a large number of people in the United States who can’t stand what the police have done.

　　David Kennedy, a professor of criminology at john jay College of the City University of new york, said that the current executive order is far from enough to make practical changes. Kennedy said: "People think it may be a little helpful, and now it is not enough to provide just a little help." Kennedy said that the emotions and resistance expressed by the American people in the past few weeks are unprecedented, and their attitude towards American law enforcement departments has also changed dramatically, which shows that a large number of people in the United States can no longer stand what the police are doing.

　　[Editor’s Note]: On January 26th, the State Administration of Market Supervision of China, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the National Forestry and Grassland Administration issued a notice saying that in order to prevent the pneumonia epidemic in novel coronavirus and block the possible sources of infection and transmission routes, wildlife trading activities were banned nationwide from the 26th until the national epidemic was lifted. After the announcement, all provinces and cities actively responded and adopted corresponding management measures. Recently, Neil D&rsquo, director of global wildlife research for the World Society for the Protection of Animals; Dr. Cruze also published a document expressing the professional views and opinions of scientists.

　　In response to the deadly novel coronavirus outbreak, China took action at an unprecedented speed and made a commendable and brave decision — — Impose a temporary ban on all wildlife trade nationwide. It is estimated that 70% of all emerging diseases are originated from wild animals. Undeniably, in recent decades, the growth of global wildlife trade (whether legal or illegal) has also become one of the disease transmission mechanisms that the world is increasingly concerned about.

　　On January 29th, citizens passed the Wuhan South China Seafood Wholesale Market, which had been closed. Xinhua News Agency reporter Xiong Qishe

　　After all, in a typical vegetable market, animals suffer terrible pain, and there are no proper biological safety measures, which provides an excellent opportunity for pathogens (such as viruses) to mutate and spread. In the market, animals with weak immunity are subjected to the pressure and trauma caused by wild capture or intensive artificial reproduction, and can only sit in their own urine and waste. This is a very common phenomenon, and close contact with humans may cause disasters.

　　In modern society, as people capture wild animals from natural habitats and transport and trade dead or alive wild animals to different parts of the world by land, sea and air, such threats have expanded to a global scale. There are many factors that can affect a country’s risk of transmitting zoonotic diseases from wild animals and its ability to cope with the consequences. For example, according to the number of animals traded, our recent review of the trade database of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora identified many countries worthy of attention. As the largest exporter of live mammals, China only traded 98,979 live mammals between 2011 and 2016, accounting for 58.7% of the total global trade listed in this international treaty.

　　However, this is not just a number. A new deadly disease, such as coronavirus, can appear from an animal, and it can also be hidden in wild animal markets like Wuhan all over the world. There is a great possibility that this situation will continue and it is a real threat.

　　One green planet map of a wildlife market in Myanmar

　　So what should I do? Instead of simply treating wild animals as "disease bags", trying to eliminate pathogens or selectively hunting wild animals with pathogens, trying to reduce the contact between wild animals and people may prove to be the most practical and lowest-cost method to reduce the global human health risks.

　　In the long run, we need to meet consumers’ demand for wild animals and their body parts. In the short term, a trade ban, such as the one currently implemented in China, will help to reduce the spread of diseases. However, if they are to be fully effective, these bans should be global and based on demand reduction.

　　China’s national ban on wildlife trade will save millions of wild animals from suffering, and they will no longer be regarded as exotic pets, traditional medicines and meat. Crucially, this will also stop the harsh treatment they suffer in transportation and markets, where the living environment is a hotbed of deadly diseases. It remains to be seen whether the ban will be made permanent and whether appropriate measures will be taken to protect the welfare of animals that have been caught in the wildlife trade. However, in the short term, it will undoubtedly protect wildlife and human beings.

　　Wild birds rescued from Miami’s black market were put into clean cages.

　　The regulation of wildlife trade involves many issues, from animal welfare to protection and ethics, but as we have seen so far, the risks posed by pathogens (and emerging zoonoses) may not be underestimated and need to be solved urgently.
