Artificial intelligence or have one’s own will Hawking’s last book is full of worries about the future.

  Science and Technology Daily reporter Liu Xia

  On October 16th, the last book of the late famous physicist Stephen Hawking, A Brief Answer to Major Issues, was published, which involved his thinking on the biggest problems facing science and society, including "Will human beings survive on the earth all the time?" (Probably not) ""Is time travel possible? (still can’t rule out the possibility) ",etc.; There are also the final predictions on the most serious threats facing the earth, the "Superman" population, whether there is intelligent life in outer space and how to develop space colonies. These predictions are full of Hawking’s deep worries about the future of mankind.

  According to a report on the US Shi Ying Finance website on the 15th, Hawking said in his book that artificial intelligence may form its own will in the future — — The will that conflicts with us human beings; A "superman" population that uses genetic engineering to surpass its peers will dominate, which may destroy mankind.

  Human evolution has no boundaries.

  Shi Ying Finance website reported on the 16th that throughout the book, Hawking was pessimistic about the future of mankind on the earth. Political instability, climate change and the possibility of nuclear violence make the sustainability of human development on earth unsustainable.

  Hawking believes that the number one threat facing the earth is asteroid collision, similar to the collision that led to the extinction of dinosaurs. He wrote: "However, we can’t defend ourselves."

  The more immediate threat is climate change. "Rising ocean temperatures will melt the ice cap and release a lot of carbon dioxide. The double effect may cause our climate to be similar to Venus, and the temperature will reach 250 C. "

  Hawking believes that nuclear fusion power generation will give us clean energy, no pollution and no global warming.

  In the chapter "How do we shape the future", Hawking disagrees with the idea that human beings are at the peak of evolution. In his view, human evolution and efforts have no boundaries.

  He believes that human beings have two choices in the future: first, explore other alternative planets that can be inhabited by human beings. He advocates space colonization in more than one chapter, including colonizing the moon, Mars or interstellar planets; Secondly, actively use artificial intelligence to improve our world.

  Artificial intelligence will form its own will.

  Hawking also emphasized the importance of standardizing the management of artificial intelligence. He pointed out that "in the future, artificial intelligence may form its own will, which conflicts with our human will." The possible automatic arms race should be stopped. If there is a weapons crash like the flash crash in the stock market in 2010, the consequences will be unimaginable.

  He wrote in the book: "For human beings, the emergence of super-intelligent artificial intelligence is either a blessing or a curse, and the second must be one of them. The real danger of artificial intelligence lies not in malice, but in ability. Super intelligent artificial intelligence will eventually be extremely good at achieving goals. If these goals are not consistent with our goals, then we are in trouble. "

  He advocates that policy makers, the technology industry and the general public should seriously study the moral impact of artificial intelligence.

  The "Superman" population will dominate.

  According to the British "Sunday Times" reported on the 15th, Hawking’s biggest worry is that the rich will soon be able to edit their own and their children’s DNA to improve their memory and disease immunity.

  Shi Ying Finance website reported that Hawking believed that at some point in the next 1000 years, nuclear war or environmental disaster would "seriously destroy the earth". By then, "our talented race may have found a way to get rid of the shackles of the earth, so it can overcome the disaster." However, other species on earth may not be able to do it.

  These people who have successfully escaped from the earth are probably new "Superman". They use gene editing techniques such as CRISPR (commonly known as "gene scissors") to surpass others. Scientists can use such gene editing techniques to repair harmful genes and add other genes.

  Hawking also said that even if politicians try to ban this practice by law, these people will improve their memory, disease resistance and life expectancy regardless of the legal constraints prohibiting genetic engineering, which will pose a crisis to the rest of the world.

  In the selected section published in the Sunday Times on the 15th, Hawking said: "I am sure that people will find ways to modify their intelligence and talent within this century. Politicians may make laws prohibiting human genetic engineering, but there are certainly people who can’t resist improving human characteristics — — Such as memory, disease resistance and longevity. "

  He pointed out: "Once this kind of superman appears, those who fail to improve themselves through genetic modification will encounter major political problems. They are unable to compete, and may become dispensable or even extinct. However, in the future, there will be a self-designed human being who is accelerating and improving. If this human race can constantly try to redesign itself, it is likely to spread and colonize other planets and planets. "

  Hawking admits that there are various opinions about why intelligent life has not been discovered or intelligent life has not visited the earth. He is cautiously optimistic about this, but his preferred explanation is that human beings have "ignored" the form of intelligent life in outer space.

Mobile phone letters and visits run for half a year: you can see the process like online shopping.

  On July 1st and September 1st this year, the State Bureau for Letters and Calls successively opened a "channel" for letters and visits on mobile phones — — The mobile phone petition platform and WeChat WeChat official account will further broaden the channels for expressing people’s demands. These new channels for letters and visits have been in operation for nearly half a year. What is the effect now?

  What about the new channels of letters and visits such as mobile phone platform and WeChat?

  By the end of November, there were over 60,000 registered users and 80,000 letters and visits.

  "It’s great, you don’t have to go out and move your fingers, and the problems reflected will be solved!" Not long ago, Wang of Huai ‘an City, Jiangsu Province reported the inconvenience caused by the renovation of dangerous bridges in the village through the online petition platform. The next day, she inquired that the Jiangsu Provincial Bureau for Letters and Calls had accepted it. On the fourth day, the local government began to solve the problem.

  On January 1, 2015, the State Bureau for Letters and Calls established and operated the National Information System for Letters and Calls, realizing the nationwide "One Netcom" with vertical connectivity to towns and streets and horizontal coverage of relevant responsible departments.

  On this basis, on July 1st and September 1st this year, the State Bureau for Letters and Calls successively launched the mobile phone petition platform and WeChat WeChat official account, making it more convenient and efficient. The process and results of the petitions handled by the masses through the mobile phone petition platform can be inquired, tracked, supervised and evaluated. The reporter saw on the WeChat WeChat official account of the State Bureau for Letters and Calls that WeChat official account currently has three functions: information on letters and visits, guide to letters and visits and online letters and visits. By paying attention to this micro-signal, you can submit a complaint request or make suggestions in the online letters and visits channel, and you can also inquire about the handling of letters and visits and evaluate your satisfaction.

  By the end of November, more than 60,000 users had registered through the mobile phone petition platform of the State Bureau for Letters and Calls and WeChat WeChat official account, and the number of petitions reached 80,000. At the same time, all parts of the country have followed suit. 14 provinces including Anhui, Hunan and Xinjiang have set up mobile phone letters and visits, and 21 provinces including Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Guizhou and Gansu have opened WeChat letters and visits. Online letters and visits have gradually become the main channel for mass letters and visits.

  How to make online letters and visits efficient and transparent?

  The process, methods and results are all open online, so that the masses can become "supervisors" and "referees" of letters and visits.

  "This platform can see every step of the specific process, just like online shopping can see whether the seller has delivered the goods and where it has gone. It is really convenient." Bao, from Haiyang City, Shandong Province, reported the damage of the road in front of his house through online letters and visits, and received a reply on the same day.

  On July 1 this year, the State Bureau for Letters and Calls promulgated and implemented the Measures for Simple Handling of Letters and Visits (Trial), which requires that opinions should be given within 10 working days after accepting the letters and visits that can be handled simply, so as to accept and handle the letters and visits more conveniently and quickly.

  At the same time, according to the "Regulations on Letters and Visits" and the "Working Rules for Online Handling of Letters and Visits (Trial)" of the State Bureau for Letters and Calls, all localities have standardized the letters and visits business, so that there are rules to follow. Twenty-four provinces, including Shanxi, Jilin and Ningxia, have formulated rules for handling online letters and visits, further optimizing business processes and putting standardization requirements throughout the whole process.

  "Relying on the national petition information system, the handling process, handling methods and handling results of petitions can be made public online, and petitioners can inquire about the handling process and results at any time, avoiding going back and forth." In addition, the State Bureau for Letters and Calls also said that it is also the focus of online letters and visits to let the masses evaluate the solution of the letters and visits, let the masses become "supervisors" and "referees" in the work of letters and visits, and actively guide the petitioners to evaluate their satisfaction. At present, the State Bureau for Letters and Calls has revised and improved the satisfaction evaluation method, and promoted all localities to improve the participation rate of the masses and the satisfaction rate of the masses.

  How do large and small systems break through the "barriers"?

  Integrate the scattered "small windows" of letters and visits, and "one netcom" allows the masses to travel less and benefit more.

  At present, the State Bureau for Letters and Calls has realized the interconnection with 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) and the provincial, municipal and county-level letters and visits working institutions of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, more than 80,000 functional departments and towns (streets), and 33 central and state organs and ministries.

  At the same time, all localities are also stepping up efforts to promote the integration of resources on the online petition platform at the same level. Tianjin, Zhejiang and other places have connected the leadership mailbox with the petition information system, and integrated the scattered online petition "small windows" into an online complaint hall to reduce repeated complaints from the masses and repeated referrals from departments, thus realizing "one netcom". Jiangxi, Shandong, Hubei and other places have established self-service facilities for online letters and visits in counties and townships to better facilitate the masses. From January to November this year, the number of online letters and visits nationwide was 971,000, up 102% year-on-year, which effectively reduced the cost of letters and visits by the masses and realized that the masses traveled less and benefited more.

  The relevant person in charge of the State Bureau of Letters and Calls said that in recent years, various localities have made great efforts to solve problems, and a number of letters and visits have been effectively resolved. However, in some places, problems were not handled in time and were not solved in place, which led to repeated online complaints; In some places, the previous "handling opinions" are used as the handling results of the backlog report, but the problem of letters and visits has not been substantially solved, and there is a problem of "doing without finishing", so it is necessary to continue to intensify efforts to resolve it.

  According to the introduction of the State Bureau for Letters and Calls, after continuous adaptation and improvement, the national information system for letters and calls has been running smoothly on the whole. Next, efforts should be made to improve the application and optimize the functions. At present, the coverage of the national petition information system has basically achieved the "vertical to the end" of the five-level petition work institutions at the national, provincial, municipal, county and township (street) levels, but there is still a problem of incomplete coverage of functional departments in most places horizontally. The next step will focus on promoting the full coverage of the application of the petition information system by functional departments.

He suffered from cerebral palsy since childhood and typed with the tip of his tongue against his lips. His science fiction was shortlisted for the grand prize.


Cctv news: Chen Weiqi is an online writer whose pen name is Lobster from Heaven. At the age of 35, it took him ten years to complete a 210,000-word novel "Advanced Life", which was also shortlisted for the 10th Global Chinese Science Fiction Xingyun Award earlier this month.

Chen Weiqi suffered from cerebral palsy since childhood and typed with the tip of his tongue against his lips. His science fiction was shortlisted for the grand prize. When his hands can’t knock on the keyboard, he types with the tip of his tongue against his lips and writes one literary work after another. Although he didn’t finish junior high school, it didn’t stop the "supplies" given to him by active thinking and reading enthusiasm.

At the beginning of this month, the 10th Global Chinese Science Fiction Xingyun Award announced the shortlist of works. Among the best novels, Chen Weiqi’s work "Advanced Life" was among them. Some netizens who are familiar with him lamented that Chen Weiqi’s creative experience itself is an extraordinary advanced process of life.

Chen Weiqi, who suffers from cerebral palsy and can’t stand and walk, can only move his left and right little fingers with his hands. He didn’t finish junior high school. He taught himself by surfing the Internet and wrote works of nearly one million words.

Can’t type with both hands, can’t pronounce clearly, and can’t use voice input. Chen Weiqi has explored a special typing method.

Once, Chen Weiqi tried to click on the keyboard with the only movable left little finger, but this method didn’t work because the arm was out of control. He simply tried all his five senses. His nose is too short and his chin is too large. Typing with his mouth biting chopsticks will make his mouth water … …

Finally, he finally found that typing with the tip of his tongue against his lips, although not fast, could last longer. So, with this method, he sat in front of the computer for more than ten hours every day and clicked the keyboard thousands of times with the tip of his tongue and lips to try to finish his writing.

Chen weiqiIf it hurts, you owe your ass a little. If it hurts on the left, push it slightly to the right. If it hurts on the right, push it harder on the left.

In Chen Weiqi’s science fiction, most of the protagonists can break through their own limitations through scientific and technological means, explore the universe and fight against evil forces, which may be pinning his desire to get rid of the real illness.

For ordinary people, it is natural and simple to control their body movements; For Chen Wei, this is an almost impossible luxury. Because he had cerebral palsy since childhood, he barely learned to walk at the age of seven, but he always had active thinking in his memory.

However, during the first summer vacation, his illness was aggravated by a sudden high fever, and he was bedridden for the next two years. At that time, he felt more desperate than ever. However, with strong willpower, his body gradually changed. Finally, one day, he sat up from the bed and began to teach himself junior high school courses. In 2001, he asked his family to buy him a computer with Internet access.

Through the Internet, Chen Weiqi read materials about medicine, philosophy, literature and so on, and sprouted the idea of writing. After finding a way to type with the tip of the tongue and lips, he kept trying to write and contribute. In 2003, his short science fiction stories were published on a website, which made him see hope.

Writing science fiction, let him regain confidence in confusion. In the next ten years, he completed the manuscript of the long science fiction "Advanced Life" and won many awards in online science fiction essays. However, in 2013, a serious illness struck again, causing him to lose consciousness below the head.

Unable to give up the manuscript of the work and unwilling to fate, Chen Wei made a strong effort to eat and let himself compete with his physical illness.

After half a year, Chen Weiqi’s illness gradually eased. With the help of his family and netizens, his two works were published successively.

A strong desire for creation enabled Chen Weiqi to find the direction, which supported him not to be depressed and not to give up. With the unimaginable efforts of ordinary people, he broke through the crisis and published his first novel.

Writing not only lit up his life, but also made him meet many friends who supported him. The warmth and friendship conveyed more confidence and courage. Today, Chen Weiqi has begun to try to get out of the house and embrace life.

In Chen Weiqi’s home, there is a Bluetooth device that uses the head to control the mouse, which was bought by netizens. Everyone often puts forward opinions and suggestions to help him improve his works. These warm actions are silently remembered by him. After the publication of Advanced Life, Chen Weiqi specially asked his family to buy 60 copies, printed his pen name with the seal sent by netizens, and sent it to those who helped him.

With more and more communication with friends, Chen Weiqi is becoming more and more cheerful.

Now, Chen Weiqi began to walk out of the house in a wheelchair to communicate with literary societies in some colleges and universities, share his writing experience face to face, and convey his goodwill and feelings.

Chen weiqiI am lucky to be born in such an era and such a society. It can be said that if there is no computer, no internet and the development of information technology during this period, I simply can’t imagine that a person like me can do things.

It is unfortunate for Chen Weiqi to be ill and have difficulty in moving since childhood, but the particularity of a writer lies in that any experience may become the source of creation. Chen Weiqi said that when you can’t write, you should also bite the bullet and write down, and then optimize everything. Isn’t this what he learned from the struggle against illness? I will walk till the water checks my path is inevitable in life, and we must never stop at this time. Only by persisting in moving forward can we finally have a day in then sit and watch the rising clouds.

Today, Chen Weiqi has walked out of that room and actively communicated with more people and integrated into society. This is a very happy thing. Finding one’s own existence and advanced way is not only what Chen Weiqi has to work hard to do, but also worthy of our serious consideration.

There are new moves in the copyright strategy of CCTV! Yunting obtained the exclusive right to operate the broadcast frequency live stream of the main station in the car networking system.

  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.

Another "yellow-related" platform was destroyed! They actually use this means to spread pornographic novels for profit.

  Cctv newsRecently, the National Anti-Pornography Office reported many typical cases of "Net Net 2020". A case of spreading obscene articles for profit through WeChat WeChat official account was cracked by the police in Lanxi, Zhejiang Province, which destroyed a super-large pornographic novel platform and arrested 15 suspects, involving more than 10 million yuan.

  On May 22 this year, the police of the Public Security Brigade of Lanxi Public Security Bureau received a report from the public that there were a large number of pornographic novels on a website called "Ma Ke Literature Website", which needed to be recharged before reading. After receiving the police, the police immediately obtained evidence for the contents of Xiao Guan’s novels on the "Ma Ke Literature Website".

  In the process of obtaining evidence, the police found that many articles in the "Ma Ke Literature Website" contained obscene pornography and other vulgar contents, and the expression of the articles was full of explicit pornographic descriptions.

  Lanxi City Public Security Bureau Zhuge Police Station Tang ChengangFirst of all, you can read it for free. There are many novels in it, including clear water novels and obscene novels. After the reader clicks in, he can read one or two for free. Just like we usually read one or two chapters, when the addiction comes up, he will jump out of a window and let you recharge. Top-ups include 30 yuan, 48 yuan, 68 yuan and 365 yuan, and 365 years is the annual fee.

  It has been verified that "Ma Ke Literature Website" packages pornographic novels into "network literature", and recruits agents through various advertisements published in WeChat official account, with 90% of the customer’s top-up amount as a share reward. In order to gain more audiences, the agent will publish platform links in a large number of WeChat official account, and in a short time, the number of platform clicks will spread rapidly across the country.

  Most of the members of the platform involved in the Yellow River were arrested after 90.

  After investigation, the police in Lanxi, Zhejiang Province grasped sufficient evidence and immediately set up a task force to hunt down the suspects hidden behind the scenes.

  Through the registration information of this company named Yuxin Cultural and Creative Co., Ltd., the police investigating the case found that the company is located in Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province, and why is the legal representative?

  However, just as the police stepped up the investigation of He’s network, the "Ma Ke Literature Website" was abnormal, the link could not be logged in normally, and the webpage display was closed. Did the police investigation arouse the suspect’s vigilance?

  After finding out the law of crime and personnel situation, on June 8, Lanxi Public Security Bureau dispatched 31 police officers, who were divided into five arrest groups and rushed to Fujian, Anhui, Guangdong, Shanghai and other places to attack simultaneously, and arrested 15 people involved in this pornographic website.

  Among the 15 suspects who were arrested, most of them were post-90s, mostly Internet practitioners. After the trial, the suspect confessed that since September 2019, the suspect He Mou registered Gaoxin Cultural and Creative Co., Ltd. and established the "Ma Ke Literature Website", which was responsible for the overall work, daily management, updating the content of obscene novels, payment business, etc. Lin Mou, Chen Mou, Zhang Mou and Ye Mou were responsible for the promotion agency, while Wu Mou and Zheng Mou were responsible for the website maintenance and repair work.

  At present, three suspects, including He Mou, Wu Mou and Ye Mou, have been criminally detained by the police according to law on suspicion of spreading obscene articles for profit, and the remaining 12 people have been released on bail pending trial. The case is under further investigation.

China brand sails overseas smartphone market.

  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.

Literature after 00 | Silent Watch (Novel)

Widowed (dialect, widowed is dumb), this is what the villagers call him. He is a poor old man, an old man who was dumb because he had a fever and took too much bezoar in his childhood, and an old man who only had three or five sheep. Widowed ancestor is what I call him, because he is two generations older than me.
I vaguely remember that I met my widowed ancestors several times during the summer vacation in primary school. I have never forgotten this scene.
When the morning sun climbs to the blue tile on the roof along the earth wall, the sheep are also waiting for their owner, the widowed bodhi old zu. Although it is hot, he always wears a Lei Feng hat that has been blackened by smoke, a black double-breasted cotton coat, a pot helmet in his arms that can never be eaten, and a kettle, leading the sheep to wander along the winding path in the field, hanging on the sheep’s neck all the way. No one knows his age, but everyone knows that his legs and feet are still vigorous, and he walks agile and steady on the almost vertical loess road mixed with gravel, just like the sheep behind him. His destination is the top of the mountain. Because the mountainside is mostly farmland, a yellow mud road is inserted horizontally, and there are still several paths lengthwise, but they are all covered by tall corn stalks. Widowed ancestors can only drive the sheep through this "forbidden land" as soon as possible-destroying crops will lose the "pass" of this land. I finally walked through the fields, and the sun really came out. At this time, the sheep can indulge in grazing, and the widowed ancestor will lean against the shade or chew the helmet with white water or take a nap.
I claim to be a "wild child", and several hills near my home are my playgrounds, so it is inevitable to meet him. When I saw those sheep grazing leisurely, I knew that my widowed bodhi old zu was nearby, but he always seemed to predict my arrival in advance. As soon as I saw it, I wanted to keep me by shouting, with my mouth wide open and my Adam’s apple wriggling sharply, and waved my arms to beckon me over. Then I used his hands as rough as an old walnut shell to hold a full "mountain products"-sweet and sour Schisandra chinensis.
The widowed ancestor is enthusiastic and diligent, and he works hard in the village, whether it’s weddings, funerals, or the anniversary of the burial. He swung his axe like the wind, and every time he fell, he split the firewood properly, and the sawdust scattered. Then, he turned to the triviality of boiling water and shochu; He added fuel to the fire, adjusted the fire, sometimes bowed his head and blew air to make the flames dance, and sometimes gently stirred the soju in the pot, making the water waves slightly overflow, and the fragrance of wine gradually diffused in this leisurely action; With the progress of the banquet, I saw the widowed bodhi old zu holding the tray firmly in his left hand and the dishes lightly in his right hand, with steady steps like flowing water, shuttling between the fire and the guests, and silently conveying his blessings and respect every time he bowed his head and smiled. The figure of the widowed ancestor, shuttling between the boiling of the villagers, is particularly diligent. In the last round of the banquet, he ate with the people who helped cook for his family, mostly the women in the village. A woman often jokes: "Seeing a widowed child is diligent, capable and able to eat. If you find a woman, you should be happy!" When he said this, he gave all the meat on the table to the widowed bodhi old zu. "Just eat, you are afraid that you can’t eat meat a few times a year!" Shame that he turned straight behind, repeatedly motioning with his hand, "ahhh ….." That’s enough.
During the three years since I finished junior high school, the life of my widowed ancestors seems to be so day after day, year after year. Or maybe I studied in the town and went back to my hometown less often and didn’t notice it. Until the spring of the second year of high school, I didn’t hear the long bell ringing on the sheep’s neck in the early morning of my hometown, only the sound of "praising and praising" with a hoe was endless. Later, I learned from my mother that the widowed ancestor had already sold all his sheep. I asked my mother why, and only then did I know that my widowed ancestor was accidentally caught in a wild boar when he was herding sheep in the mountains in the summer years ago. Fortunately, he was found by the villagers in time and was sent to the hospital at the first time without leaving his disability. Although he is not disabled, he can only walk on crutches, and he can’t herd sheep. With the money earned by selling sheep, plus the subsidies for the disabled and the five guarantees, it is said that the widowed ancestors should live a few days at leisure, at least until the injury is almost healed. But he couldn’t spare time, so he opened another piece of land to grow wheat at the vegetable field in front of his house. I walked on crutches, carried benches and hoes to hoe the ground, and when I was tired, I sat down and dug. This is what I witnessed with my own eyes.
Unconsciously, the wheat seedlings have grown to the knee height, and all the trees are full of green, swaying in the wind. Perhaps the widowed ancestor knew that they were growing sturdily, so he did not have to work hard in the fields, and the sound of "boasting and boasting" became more and more sparse, just like those weeds he had dug up; But it’s getting more and more boring, like cicadas in the hot summer.
Until the widowed ancestor did not greet his harvest in the wheat field, until the villagers learned that he had died on his couch for many days.
This wheat field without its owner is still full of vitality.
Wheat seedlings bear the brunt of the wind and rain, bearing ears of wheat, and finally spreading seeds on the land where they were born with the wind.

It’s about your money bag! Understand these changes in July in advance.

  Beijing, June 28th (Leng Yuyang), the client of Zhongxin. com, what changes will be ushered in in the coming July? If we want to sum up a keyword from it, then "money" is bound to be a topic that cannot be avoided. The reporter found out that from July 1 ST, pensions, imported goods, mobile phone fees, etc. will all usher in good news, which is related to your "money bag".

  Pension will be adjusted centrally.

  For a long time, "a sense of security for the elderly" is not only a thousand-year-old virtue inherited by China, but also the expectation of every Chinese. From July, pensions will undergo major changes, and the timely and full payment of pensions in various places will be more secure.

  On June 13th, the State Council issued the Notice on Establishing the Central Adjustment System of the Basic Endowment Insurance Fund for Enterprise Employees, and decided to establish the central adjustment system of the endowment insurance fund, which will be implemented on July 1st, 2018.

  The "Notice" clarifies that on the basis of the current provincial-level overall planning of basic old-age insurance for enterprise employees, a central adjustment fund for old-age insurance will be established to appropriately adjust the old-age insurance funds in various provinces to ensure that basic pensions are paid in full and on time.

  You Jun, deputy director of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, explained that due to the difference in population dependency ratio and other reasons, the problem of fund imbalance between provinces has become more and more prominent. However, it is difficult to solve this problem by provincial overall planning, so it is necessary to improve the overall planning level and make appropriate adjustments to the fund nationwide.

  What netizens are most concerned about is whether this will affect their treatment after retirement. You Jun also hereby reminds: "This fundraising policy will not increase the burden on enterprises and individuals, will not increase the contribution ratio of endowment insurance, and will not affect the treatment of retirees."

  These tariffs will be lowered.

  While the pension is more secure, there is also good news for hands-chopping people.

  According to the announcement issued by the the State Council Customs Tariff Commission on May 22, since July 1, 2018, the tariffs on automobiles with tax rates of 25% and 20% will be reduced to 15%, with tax reductions of 40% and 25% respectively; The tariffs on auto parts with tax rates of 8%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% will be reduced to 6%, with an average tax reduction of 46%.

  In addition to cars, the drop in import tariffs on some daily necessities will make everyone happy to "buy in buy buy".

  On May 31, the State Council Customs Tariff Commission announced that the MFN tariff rate of some consumer goods will be reduced from July 1, 2018, involving 1,449 tax items, and the average tariff rate will be reduced from 15.7% to 6.9%, with an average decrease of 55.9%.

  Specifically, the average import tariff rate of clothing, shoes and hats, kitchens and sports and fitness products has dropped from 15.9% to 7.1%; The average import tariff rate of household appliances such as washing machines and refrigerators was reduced from 20.5% to 8%; The average import tariff rate of processed foods such as aquaculture, fishing aquatic products and mineral water decreased from 15.2% to 6.9%; The average import tariff rate of washing products, cosmetics such as skin care and hairdressing, and some medical and health products decreased from 8.4% to 2.9%.

  In this regard, there is a voice saying that lowering tariffs will reduce the import cost to a certain extent, which will generally help reduce the price in the domestic market. This also means that domestic consumers are expected to buy more imported consumer goods with good quality and low price.

  Mobile phone traffic roaming fee will become history.

  From July, when you are on a business trip or traveling in other places, you can also save a mobile phone traffic fee.

  On June 22nd, China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom announced that they would cancel the roaming fee for domestic mobile phone traffic from July 1st, and the provincial traffic of mobile phone users would be upgraded to domestic traffic (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan traffic).

  So, who will benefit? Mainly users who used to use local packages. After the roaming fee is cancelled, as long as there is traffic in your package, you can use it safely wherever you go in China.

  However, campus packages, community packages, subway traffic packages and airport traffic packages are not within the scope of this adjustment.

  Some high-speed rail fares should be discounted and the extended version of "Fuxing" will start.

  You can also save money by taking the high-speed rail! After the railway map adjustment on July 1, people will not only have a greater chance to take the extended version of Fuxing, but also some high-speed trains will be discounted by 6.5%!

  From 0: 00 on July 1, 2018, the national railway will implement a new train diagram, and 16 long-formed "Fuxing" EMUs will be put into operation for the first time. The daily number of the national railway "Fuxing" EMU will increase from 114.5 pairs to 170.5 pairs, which can reach 23 municipalities, provincial capital cities and autonomous region capitals.

  In addition, from July 5th, China Railway Corporation will only announce the fares of the high-speed train emus with an operating speed of 200-250km/h on the six sections of lines opened earlier, namely Hefei-Wuhan, Wuhan-Yichang, Guiyang-Guangzhou, Liuzhou-Nanning, Shanghai-Nanjing, and Nanjing-Hangzhou, for optimization and adjustment.

  This time, it is clear that the published fare is the highest price limit. Railway-related enterprises can lower the fare within the price limit by season, time, seats and sections according to the passenger flow, with a maximum discount of 6.5%. Compared with the current situation, the adjusted executive fare has generally increased and decreased.

  There is no need to pay for academic degree certification.

  For job seekers, many people will be asked to certify their academic degrees, and the fees they need to pay will soon become history.

  On June 27, the Ministry of Education and other three departments issued a notice, deciding to completely cancel the fees for domestic higher education degree certification services from July 1 this year.

  After the cancellation of the domestic higher education academic degree certification service fees, the academic degrees that have been registered in the relevant databases of college students’ academic information management system and degree information management system will be subject to online inquiry and electronic certification in principle.

Investigation on mobile phone surfing of college students: over 40% surf the Internet for more than 5 hours every day.

  China Youth Network, Beijing, October 21st "It’s not that I’m not sleepy. I just want to wait. As for what? I don’t know, I just want to wait. "This passage has become the mantra of many college students. And this "wait", most of them are brushing their mobile phones. So, how long do college students surf the Internet on their mobile phones every day? What are you mainly doing? Are you worried about network security?

  Recently, China Youth Network Campus News Agency conducted a questionnaire survey among 1,220 college students around the country. The results show that more than 40% of students surf the Internet for more than 5 hours every day, and more than 80% of students surf the Internet mainly for social chat. Most students think that surfing the Internet by mobile phone makes mobile payment, information acquisition and social communication more convenient. Nearly 90% of students are worried about network security, and most students expect the network speed of 5G to be faster and more convenient for study and life.

  Over 40% of students surf the Internet on their mobile phones for more than 5 hours every day, and over 80% of students mainly chat socially.

  Wu Lin, a student of Sichuan Agricultural University, uses his mobile phone to surf the Internet every day for about 6 hours. "It has become my habit to brush my mobile phone when I wake up every day. Now surfing the Internet is a daily need. I feel that I don’t have much to do except surfing the Internet. I like chatting, watching news and playing games online when I have no classes. I can’t stop playing my mobile phone."

  Like Wu Lin, there are not a few college students who have the habit of surfing the Internet for a long time. According to a survey conducted by a reporter from China Youth Network, 41.56% of college students spend more than five hours on their mobile phones every day. When surfing the Internet, 83.93% of the students mainly chat socially, followed by consulting materials and listening to songs, accounting for 62.46% and 58.61% respectively.

  "I am deeply dependent on the Internet, partly because of my shortcomings in social skills." Joline, a student of Northwest Normal University, told reporters that she is introverted and unwilling to communicate face to face. She can express herself more directly and accurately online. She will keep a diary on the trumpet in Weibo, and what she is embarrassed to say in person can be expressed by WeChat. "Besides, I can also tell my story with strangers through Zhihu."

  Mobile Internet access makes mobile payment, information acquisition and social communication more convenient.

  So what convenience does mobile Internet access bring to college students’ daily life? In the survey, China Youth Network reporter found that most of the students interviewed thought that surfing the Internet by mobile phone made mobile payment, information acquisition and social communication more convenient, accounting for 90.25%, 80.49% and 78.52% respectively.

  "Now you don’t have to bring cash when you go shopping. It’s really convenient to pay by QR code." Zhao Tingting, a student at Guilin University of Technology, said that it used to be troublesome to use cash for shopping. Now, with mobile payment, the mobile phone can scan the code to pay, which not only saves a lot of time, but also brings great convenience to life.

  Chen Yixin, a student at Chengdu University of Information Science and Technology, told reporters that after going to college, she often chats with her parents online. "Sometimes I use WeChat videos, and it is very convenient to contact them anytime and anywhere even if I don’t go home." She also said that now she mainly watches news through Weibo and news apps, so she can keep abreast of the latest hot events, which is very fast.

  Nearly 90% are worried about network security, and most students expect 5G network speed to be faster and study and life more convenient.

  Xie Wenyi is a student of Shandong University of Technology, and he attaches great importance to network security. "I have learned that bank card deposits may be stolen by clicking on the link to help bargain, which makes me very worried about network security." In order to avoid the disclosure of personal information, he will be more cautious when registering his account. He told reporters that many friends around him have fallen into the trap of online fraud, so they must strengthen their prevention.

  The results of this survey show that 88.03% of the respondents are as worried about network security as Xie Wenyi. In addition to network security issues, 5G has also become a hot topic this year. When talking about the expectation of the 5G era, 87.38% of the respondents hope that 5G will make the network speed faster, and secondly, it will make the study and life more convenient and the video quality clearer, accounting for 86.64% and 71.31% respectively.

  Hong Yumin studied in Hope College of Southwest Jiaotong University, and she needed to surf the Internet frequently for professional reasons. When talking about 5G, she said that 5G is a "good medicine" for architectural drawing. It doesn’t take a long time to download the software installation package, which greatly shortens the students’ drawing time. Compared with 4G, 5G is more stable and not easy to get stuck. When drawing, you don’t have to worry about network failure, which can guarantee the smooth birth of the work.

  The picture shows the proportion of college students’ expectations for 5 G. China Youth Network reporter Li Huaxi cartography

  Teachers in colleges and universities suggest that Internet surfing time should be arranged reasonably and network security protection should be done well.

  Yang Mei, an administrative teacher at School of Information Engineering, Sichuan Agricultural University, believes that college students spend more time on the Internet than study time. Although this has become a common phenomenon, students are advised to pay attention to study. "At present, many students will become very anxious when they leave their mobile phones. In fact, students will make good use of the Internet to arrange their free time and pay more attention to WeChat official account and online classes related to their majors or employment, which will be helpful for future postgraduate entrance examinations or job hunting."

  "Don’t easily click on pop-up web pages or unreliable advertising links shared by others, which are likely to contain viruses. When surfing the Internet in Internet cafes outside, don’t connect your USB flash drive, mobile phone and other things containing important personal information to your computer, which is easy to cause network security problems." At the same time, as the class teacher of the students, Yang Mei recommends students with poor self-control to use professional APP for entertainment time management, hoping that students can concentrate on their studies and focus on their studies.

  This semester, Fan Yingjie, a teacher of Marxism College of Chengdu University, asked students to strengthen self-discipline, stay away from the internet at least half a day to one day in class and at ordinary times, and learn to control themselves. She hopes that through these ways, students can understand that instead of constantly paying attention to other people’s lives through mobile phones, it is better to live their own lives and do their own things in a down-to-earth manner.

  Fan Yingjie also mentioned that regarding the issue of network security, the relevant state departments released a lot of warning case materials when promoting network security, hoping that students would learn more about it. "When using mobile phones or computers to surf the Internet, students should not randomly click unfamiliar links to avoid revealing personal information on the Internet, and try their best to do network security protection." (At the request of the interviewee, the names of the students in this article are all pseudonyms.)
