On the significance of "new liberal arts" from the perspective of traditional culture

  In August 2018, half a month before the National Education Conference, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China put forward the concept of "new liberal arts" in the document that "higher education should strive to develop new engineering, new medicine, new agricultural science and new liberal arts". In 2019, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Science and Technology and other 13 departments jointly launched the "Six Excellence-Top-notch" plan 2.0. As one of the "Four Innovations" construction, "New Liberal Arts" entered the formal implementation stage from concept. "New liberal arts" has also attracted extensive attention from academic circles and other social circles, and has become a hot topic in recent years.
  Some scholars will think that the concept of "new liberal arts" originated from the United States. The landmark event is that Hiram College in the United States comprehensively revised the training program in 2017, reorganized 29 majors, and integrated new technologies into traditional courses such as philosophy, literature and language to provide students with comprehensive interdisciplinary learning. The reason behind this change lies in the decline of liberal arts under the situation of the rise of applied disciplines, which leads to the survival crisis of liberal arts teachers or colleges.
  However, it is obvious that such a concept of new liberal arts obviously cannot cover the connotation of "new liberal arts" proposed by contemporary China. As we all know, our government has repeatedly pointed out that mankind is in a "great change that has never happened in a hundred years." The magnitude of this change covers all aspects of human life. And education is one of the core points in this great change. In a sense, only when education adapts, adapts and perfectly responds to this great change can human society eliminate the uncertainty in the change, realize the phoenix nirvana of human civilization, and go up a step.
  This "great change in a hundred years" is simply that the relationship between man and nature and the relationship between man and society has undergone tremendous changes. Before industrial civilization, human beings were an appendage of nature, or at least, human initiative could not cause fatal harm to nature. In the hundreds of years after the industrial revolution, the intervention of science and technology has made human beings increasingly reactive to nature. Today, the survival of human beings and the survival of nature even show a trend of changing. It is estimated that the pollution caused by technological changes since World War II accounts for 80% of all global pollution at present. Biologists have issued a warning that shocked the whole world: 5000 species of animals will be extinct in the world in a short time. But at the same time, it almost made the same sound: in the first half of this century, one mammal was extinct every five years, and in the second half of this century, it has accelerated to every two years.one kindExtinction These ecological changes are the result of modernization in recent centuries. Modernization not only destroys the sustainable natural economy of human beings, but also breaks all kinds of restrained values, lifestyles and cultural traditions, making all kinds of development completely out of control. The subversive influence on human beings and the whole biosphere mainly comes from the past 500 years, that is, the 500 years when western values expanded to the world and gained world dominance. Compared with nearly 6,000 years of human civilization, 500 years is only 8% of the time, but it is the population explosion and environmental damage caused by this short period of 500 years that have broken the balance between man and nature, changed the circulation mode of biosphere and the natural process of human beings, and all this is contrary to the overall experience of human beings.

  This is undoubtedly sad, ridiculous and must be changed.
  At the same time, the contradiction between people and society has entered the deep water period. The contradiction between people and society is essentially the contradiction between people. In the past period of human history, people exploited people and even enslaved people in many areas, which was a long-term historical process. The only difference between them is the evolution of exploitation forms: from cruel slavery to tender capitalism. Marxism once predicted the demise of capitalism, which is undoubtedly a great judgment. However, as mentioned earlier, after the industrial revolution, the rapid improvement of productivity eased the contradiction between the exploiters and the exploited by "making the cake bigger" and gradually increasing everyone’s absolute gain. But the essence of this relief is to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. The essence of this relief is that the development of the exploited person’s mental level lags behind that of the exploiters. In the era of knowledge monopoly, this difference in mental level development can be obtained stably through system design. But in the post-modern society and the era of knowledge economy, it is almost impossible to monopolize knowledge. The difference between the mental level of the exploiters and the exploited is being leveled at an unprecedented speed. This change will inevitably have a fundamental impact on the social system of exploitation pursued by these regions for a long time. In today’s society, the profound roots behind trade frictions, regional conflicts and ethnic disputes are all the same. In particular, it is worth mentioning that the above-mentioned crisis between man and nature has made the usual expedient measure of "making a big cake" increasingly ineffective, which makes this impact inevitable.When contradictory parties cannot make peace in a peaceful way, the consequences of this impact will be fatal to all mankind.
  In a word, it is unprecedented and urgent for human beings to resolve the above two fundamental crises through their own evolution. Education is an important way to get through the crisis.

  However, the western-style "subject education" that has been formed all over the world since the industrial revolution cannot undertake such a task at all. This is because the traditional western-style subject education belongs to atomism in world view and mechanical reductionism in methodology. The advantage of this kind of education is that it can produce "experts" in specific fields in batches in the shortest time. In essence, this kind of cultivation mode is matched with the large-scale industrial production of machines in the early stage of industrial civilization. This is because in the early stage of human industrial civilization, the problems faced by human society are often relatively simple and linear. However, the shortcomings of this "divided education" are also obvious. The more in-depth the subject education, the more learners will fall into the so-called "knowing but seeing obstacles" of China Buddhists, that is, the accumulation of knowledge and the expansion of the "ignorance" boundary show a positive correlation. Zhi Nuo, a western philosopher, once made a vivid analogy: he drew a circle, inside which is the knowledge he has mastered, and outside which is the boundless unknown world. The more knowledge, the bigger the circle, and the longer the circumference, so that the contact surface between its edge and the outside world is also larger, so the unknown part is of course more.

  At the same time, mankind has entered the post-industrial era, and the problems faced by mankind are increasingly complex. Interstellar travel, ecological sustainable development and even human genome, etc., from macro to meso to micro, are all nonlinear and complex issues. These complex problems we face urgently require us to integrate the past cognition of human beings. This integration is not a simple addition or a simple combination, but a holistic and organic perspective to examine any seemingly independent problem. Only in this way can we prevent the "butterfly effect" in the development of human civilization, so that the long embankment of human civilization will not end up being "destroyed by the ant nest".

  At this critical juncture, education must bear such a task. But the question is, what kind of education can carry such a great task?
  Such education must be based on a holistic world view. Because only by establishing a world outlook based on holism can we get out of the situation of "looking at the mountain side as a peak, and the distance is different" in the past, and change into the pattern of "meeting the extreme and the other mountains all appear dwarfs under the sky."; Such education must be based on the methodology of "harmony between man and nature". Because only by "harmony between man and nature" can we have an organic and sensitive comprehensive sensitivity between man and nature, between man and society, and between problems. This sensitivity will enable us to maintain the coordination between the local and the whole when dealing with any problem; This sensitivity allows us to find the breakthrough point of "opening our eyes to the outside world" in balancing the complicated relationship.
  This is the "stratified education" bred by Chinese civilization for thousands of years. The so-called "hierarchical education" is to divide human cognitive activities into three relative levels: Tao, image and device. The cognition based on "qi" is similar to the current sub-discipline education, which explores "the principle of one thing and one thing". The disadvantage of this kind of education is that the cognition of regularity is limited to a specific problem or field. The advantage of this kind of education is that it does not require high talent and understanding of scholars. This was a craftsman-level study and practice in ancient China. Image-based cognition is more obvious than the former, and it explores "the theory of a class of problems", that is, complicated specific problems may belong to the same big class, and image-based education is to explore what the common laws behind this big class of problems are. Undoubtedly, the talents trained by such education will have wider applicability; The cognition based on Tao is the study and practice of exploring the common law behind everything. This level of learning requires extremely high comprehensive quality of scholars, but the talents trained by this kind of education will undoubtedly have overall awareness, peak perspective and strong practical ability. And such talented people are undoubtedly the best solution to the overall problems we are facing.
  In other words, the new liberal arts is to upgrade the past flat "subject education" to a three-dimensional "layered education", realize the full use of talents in the true sense, and integrate human wisdom into an organic whole, thus confronting and solving our common crisis.
  We have gone through the course of "making foreign things serve China" for more than 100 years from saving the nation from extinction and learning from the west in the late Qing Dynasty. Now, we should learn the wisdom precipitated by thousands of years of ancient civilization, let the deep-rooted Chinese civilization trees blossom new flowers, and "make the past serve the present" to solve the common problems faced by the whole mankind.
  What is the new liberal arts? There is a saying in the predecessors: "Hard and soft rub against each other, which is called astronomy; Civilization is called humanity. It is related to astronomy to observe the changes of time, and it is related to the fact that humanity has turned into the world. " At this time of great change that has never happened in a hundred years, we need to "move against the Tao." From the path of "human culture" of the sages, from the device to the Tao, back to the peak perspective of human cognition, from the holistic level to explore the fundamental solutions to many problems. This is the intention of new liberal arts and even new engineering, new agricultural science and new medical science.

Jewelry designer Zhong Hua awakens the inheritance of culture and emotion with contemporary natural language.

The successive broadcast of Story of Yanxi Palace and Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace, the palace dramas, has caused the explosion of styles and discussions. Besides the ups and downs, the exciting plot of the palace fight and the outstanding acting skills of the actors, people also pay attention to the aesthetic return of traditional culture and art.

It is worth mentioning that the decorations used by the concubines in the play, such as an embroidery, a flower, a hair pin and a pair of earrings, are all exquisitely made. We sigh and envy the dignity and exquisiteness of the royal life in the past, and this attention seems to have been broken and separated in the inheritance.

Fortunately, now, someone is already taking action to awaken our lost beauty. Zhong Hua, the designer of art jewelry in China and the chief design consultant of cultural jewelry in the Forbidden City, has combined the 5,000-year history and culture of China, and also expressed the unconstrained contemporary design concept.

In her interpretation of a recently completed hairpin work, she said, "I try to make history fashionable and classics young." The beauty she tells with jewelry lies not in the jewelry itself, but in the story behind the ornaments, which comes from the natural touch of life.

I switched to jewelry design because my heart was ignited.

Zhong Hua, who just came to study in Britain, got her wish and entered the fashion design major of London Institute of Fashion, but after two months of study, she was disappointed by repeated study without any challenge. When she was confused, she was shocked by various art and jewelry exhibitions in London. Wood, paper, plastic and other materials, the line structure in the building, can be applied to jewelry design.

Zhong Hua’s heart was instantly ignited, and she found the direction she wanted to develop, so she transferred to the Central Saint Martin College to study the metal technology of contemporary jewelry. Next, every day here is particularly interesting for her. Teachers who are over 60 years old, all kinds of novel tools, and everyone’s love and dedication to jewelry design.

"As a designer who has a clear artistic pursuit of jewelry design, he needs persistence and simplicity." After two years of study, Zhong Hua has mastered solid manual skills and the application of new materials.

Everything fascinated her, and what influenced her most was the way of thinking of design. She is very concerned about the intention behind the ornaments and the proper emotional expression. "Jewelry is something with the designer’s life, and only hand-made can show my inner world most directly and comprehensively."

Life and nature are the best stories.

After returning to China, Zhong Hua started her career with handmade high-grade jewelry customization. Customers have developed from their own relatives and friends to celebrity star circles, with Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing, Lu Han, LEE JOON GI, etc.

Because she grew up in the military compound and the unrestrained growth environment, she especially loved life and was close to nature. Therefore, in her creation, life and nature have become an eternal topic to express love stories.

A girl who works as a chef in a French restaurant, Zhong Hua designed a ring for her, with anise, a common seasoning in nature, as the design subject, in a flower-like shape, and a girl with a magic wand was also outlined on it.

A father prepared a gift for his married daughter. Zhong Hua designed a crown, which was organized into a regular love shape with the natural and smart posture of spring water splashing, representing love and responsibility, as well as the best wishes of eternal knot.

A couple who are parents for the first time want to make a necklace for their children. Zhong Hua expresses endless blessings to the children with a long life lock branded with parents’ fingerprints, and it is also a warm ornament about love.

Every piece of jewelry made by Zhong Hua for her clients has a story, and she knows herself from it by getting to know her clients.

It is not a simple re-enactment, but a serious inheritance.

A piece of haute couture jewelry with unique personality has quickly attracted the attention of the outside world. Especially in the internationally acclaimed works such as "Running the Dragon and Running the Horse", we have seen the essence of China’s traditional culture and the mutual blending with western design concepts.

The rising popularity has enabled her to go from haute couture to commercial creation, and thus she has forged an indissoluble bond with the Palace Museum. From facing individuals to facing the public, she started this challenge with the determination of "making the royal family everyone".

Zhong Hua believes that many Chinese people have not really understood the importance of a piece of jewelry as a heritage. So, she spent a year getting to know the Forbidden City, looking for the emotion behind the cultural relics, and carefully polishing every piece of jewelry. She hoped that through a small piece of jewelry, the public could understand the profoundness of Chinese culture.

In her view, this is not a simple re-enactment, but a serious inheritance.

With the promotion of public aesthetics, including the awakening and practice of China’s original design led by designers, it will save the Chinese traditional culture and craft that will be lost. Enamel, Diancui, Qi Diao … … Zhong Hua is looking for ways to interpret these traditional crafts, and uses the precipitation of different cultures in her bones to convey beautiful feelings.

She believes that jewelry is not a symbol of wealth, and the public can enjoy and own it. And integrating art into life is a luxury lifestyle that she thinks meets the needs of contemporary people.

When everyone is willing to slow down in a hurry, beauty and design will gradually penetrate into public life. This "luxury" has nothing to do with money, it is a natural spiritual sustenance and a higher pursuit of life details.

"Beauty" lies in the heart, and "utensil" can be seen in the form. Zhong Hua believes that in the future, jewelry can inherit more emotions and memories, and the beauty of life can be better understood and expressed.

Great Power Diplomacy | After winning the World Cup, why did the Argentine team make its debut abroad in China?

  This year marks the tenth anniversary of the initiative of the Supreme Leader Chairman to jointly build the Belt and Road Initiative. On June 2, China and Argentina signed the Cooperation Plan between the Government of People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Government of the Argentine Republic on jointly promoting the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative. The cooperation plan will fully implement the important consensus of the leaders of China and Argentina on building the "Belt and Road" with high quality, deepen mutually beneficial cooperation in infrastructure, energy, economy and trade, finance, humanities and other fields, and further promote China’s cooperation in building the "Belt and Road" with countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.

The way of brotherhood is to unite as one.

  Voice of China reporter:On June 2, China and Argentina signed a cooperation plan on jointly promoting the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative. In February last year, China and Arab countries signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly build the "Belt and Road". What cooperation has China and Arab countries carried out over the past year or so? What specific changes will the signing of the "Belt and Road" cooperation plan between China and Arab countries bring to the pragmatic cooperation between the two sides?

  Zou Xiaoli:At the beginning of last year, China and Argentina signed a memorandum of understanding on the cooperation of building the Belt and Road, which was a new important milestone in the history of bilateral relations. Over the past year or so, the two sides have made important and positive progress in policy communication, facility connectivity, smooth trade, financial intermediation and popular support. The two heads of state met face to face twice to jointly draw a blueprint for China-Arab relations and pragmatic cooperation; China enterprises participate more extensively and deeply in Argentina’s transportation, energy, electricity and people’s livelihood projects, expand investment in mining industry in Argentina, and expand cooperation in scientific and technological innovation; Last year, the bilateral trade volume between China and Arab countries increased by 20.1% year-on-year, reaching $21.37 billion, breaking through the $20 billion mark for the first time; The service of RMB clearing bank in Argentina was officially launched, and the scale of RMB use was further expanded. Since May this year, all Argentine imports from China have been settled in RMB; Last year, China and Arab countries took the opportunity of celebrating the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations to hold a series of activities for the Year of Friendly Cooperation, which enhanced the mutual understanding and friendship between the two peoples and laid a solid social and humanistic foundation for deepening bilateral relations and promoting the "Belt and Road" cooperation.

  Zou Xiaoli:A few days ago, the China Chamber of Commerce (Argentina) released "The way of brotherhood is unity and unity — — China-Argentina Cooperation Achievement Report (2023) vividly shows the glorious course of "One Belt, One Road" cooperation between Chinese-funded institutions and enterprises in Argentina, together with local partners, with illustrated forms and a large number of facts and data. It is delightful and exciting to read!

  On June 1, 2023, the China Chamber of Commerce (Argentina) issued "Brothers’ Way is Unity and Unity — — China? Report on the Achievements of Argentina’s Cooperation in Building the Belt and Road (2023) (Source: Guan Wei of the Latin American Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs "Focus on Latin America")

  Zou Xiaoli:On June 2nd, this year, China and Argentina took another crucial step in building the Belt and Road Initiative. The two governments signed a cooperation plan on jointly promoting the Belt and Road Initiative. This document further enriched the cooperation areas and key projects of the Belt and Road Initiative between the two countries, clarified the ways and means of cooperation, promoted the docking of development strategies, greatly boosted the confidence of the economic and social circles of the two countries in strengthening exchanges and cooperation and seeking common development, and built the Belt and Road Initiative with high quality. It is worth mentioning that this year marks the tenth anniversary of the "Belt and Road Initiative". Faced with a series of challenges, such as instability and increasing uncertainty in the international situation, globalization encountering counter-current, unilateralism, protectionism and hegemonism rampant, China and Argentina, as members of the G-20 and developing countries, signed a cooperation plan to promote the "Belt and Road Initiative", which is conducive to deepening South-South cooperation and China-Latin America cooperation and promoting the building of a community of human destiny.

China and Arab countries signed a cooperation plan to promote the construction of the "Belt and Road"

Widely concerned by Latin America.

  Voice of China reporter:From the signing of the memorandum of understanding to the signing of the cooperation plan, Argentina is at the forefront of Latin American countries in building the "Belt and Road". How will this exemplary role promote China’s "One Belt, One Road" cooperation with countries in Latin America and the Caribbean?

  Zou Xiaoli:Argentina is a big country in Latin America and the farthest place from China. At the beginning of last year, China and Argentina signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly build the "Belt and Road" cooperation, marking the successful extension of the "Belt and Road" to the southernmost tip of the world, and Argentina became the first Latin American power to formally join the "Belt and Road" cooperation family. After more than a year, the Chinese and Argentine governments have recently signed a cooperation plan to promote the construction of the Belt and Road, which reflects the vitality and broad prospects of the "Belt and Road" cooperation and has once again attracted widespread attention from the international community, especially Latin America. It is believed that with the full implementation of the "One Belt, One Road" cooperation plan between China and Argentina, Argentina will play an increasingly important role in promoting regional infrastructure connectivity, smooth trade, industrial integration and integration, benefiting more people in Latin America.

  Zou Xiaoli:Last year, Argentina held the rotating presidency of the Latin American Community and worked closely with China to enrich the activities of the China-Latin America Forum and expand the areas of China-Latin America cooperation. Recently, when talking about the "One Belt, One Road" initiative, the Speaker of the Argentine House of Representatives Moreau said with deep feelings that the "One Belt, One Road" initiative proposed by China is very important for promoting Argentina’s trade and economic development. When China provides assistance to Argentina, it does not attach political conditions. It should extend this cooperation concept to multilateral international financial institutions including the International Monetary Fund, so that more Latin American countries can benefit from it. This shows that the principle of mutual cooperation, co-construction and sharing of the Belt and Road Initiative has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which is conducive to further enhancing the vitality, creativity and attractiveness of the Belt and Road cooperation, promoting the cooperation between China and Latin America to achieve more fruitful results, and raising the China-Latin America relationship of equality, mutual benefit, innovation, openness and benefiting the people in the new era to a new level.

Gisai hydropower station

— — The largest cooperation project between China and Arab countries

  Voice of China reporter:In recent years, China and Argentina have achieved fruitful cooperation in many fields, such as energy and infrastructure. Many projects have benefited the people of both sides, and some key projects are progressing steadily, such as the Gisai Hydropower Project in Argentina, which was built by Chinese enterprises. What is the current progress of this project? What changes will the project bring to the local area after it is completed for power generation?

  Gisai Hydropower Project in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina under construction (data map)

  Zou Xiaoli:Gisai Hydropower Project in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina is the largest cooperation project between China and Argentina, and also the largest hydropower project under construction in South America. Together with local partners, China Nengjian Gezhouba Group, which undertook the project, overcame severe challenges and many difficulties such as complex geological and climatic conditions and COVID-19 epidemic. As of May this year, 51.22% of the total progress of the project has been completed, which meets the requirements of the implementation plan. The first turbine was delivered to the construction site at the end of last year. According to the latest master schedule, the two hydropower stations of the project will be completed in February 2025 and August 2028 respectively.

  On December 7, 2022, the first axial-flow paddle turbine of JC Power Station of Argentine Gisai Hydropower Project, which was jointly built by China enterprises and local enterprises, arrived in Argentina from China (Source: WeChat WeChat official account, Embassy of China in Argentina).

  Zou Xiaoli:At present, there are more than 3,000 employees working for the project, and the proportion of local employees is over 95%. At the peak of the project construction, there are more than 5,000 direct employees, and as many as 15,000 indirect jobs have been created. The construction of the project has a positive impact on the economy of the local Santa Cruz province, and promoted the rapid development of steel, fuel, catering, passenger transport, logistics, medical care, security and other industries. After the completion of the project, the total installed capacity of Argentina’s electric power will be increased by about 6.5%, and the fuel import foreign exchange will be saved by 1.1 billion US dollars every year.

Businessmen and entrepreneurs applying for visas to China

"Squeezing" the Embassy Reservation System

  Voice of China reporter:Since the beginning of this year, China’s economic operation has maintained a good trend, and its market potential has been continuously released, which has been favored by global investors. What are the views of Argentine local circles on China’s economic development prospects? What is the impact of China’s economic performance on Argentina?

  Zou Xiaoli:China has been Argentina’s second largest trading partner and largest export market for agricultural products for many years. 80% of Argentina’s beef, 88% of soybeans and 20% of aquatic products are sold to China market, and the demand exceeds the supply. At present, many Argentine beef enterprises are expanding their production capacity, mainly aiming at the China market. At the same time, China has continuously opened its market to Albania, and soybean meal, honey, cherries, blueberries, grapes, chilled beef, mutton, horses and pork have all been exported to China. China’s super-large-scale market attracts more and more Albanian enterprises to actively participate in China Canton Fair, China International Import Expo(CIIE), Service Trade Fair, Xiya International Food Exhibition, etc., and local businessmen and entrepreneurs who apply for visas to China "burst" the reservation system of our embassy.

  On March 30, 2023, the Argentina Special Promotion Conference of the 6th China International Import Expo was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Zou Xiaoli, Ambassador of China to Argentina, gave a keynote speech (Source: website of China Embassy in Argentina).

  Zou Xiaoli:In March this year, the Argentina Special Promotion Conference of the 6th China International Import Expo was held in Buenos Aires, and more than 200 trade and investment promotion agencies, key industry associations and business leaders actively participated. A few days ago, Beijing — The Argentina Economic and Trade Cooperation Promotion Fair was packed, with more than 100 people than the organizers expected. Enterprises of the two countries signed a number of cooperation agreements, involving agriculture, scientific and technological innovation, information technology and culture. It is worth mentioning that Argentina has begun to pay attention to the development of China’s tourism, sports, culture and art markets, which will promote the rapid growth of service trade between the two countries, create a large number of new jobs for Argentina, increase its foreign exchange sources and reserves, and realize diversified, green and sustainable economic development.

Choose China for its

As the "Samsung" world champion team, it is no accident to make its debut abroad.

  Voice of China reporter:Since the establishment of diplomatic ties more than 50 years ago, cooperation in sports and other fields has also brought the people of the two countries closer. Next week, Argentina’s national men’s football team will play a friendly match in Beijing. These days, everyone pays special attention to this game. Why did the Argentine national men’s football team choose China for its debut abroad? Can you share with us your feelings and expectations for China-Arab cooperation in the field of football?

  Zou Xiaoli:What China fans are most concerned about and looking forward to now is that the Argentine national men’s football team will play against the Australian national men’s football team at the Beijing Workers Stadium on June 15th, which will be the first time for the Argentine men’s football team to compete abroad after winning the championship in FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 in 2022. I am reminded of a sentence by the famous Argentine poet Borges: the meeting of two souls is not accidental. It’s no accident that Argentines chose China for their debut as the "Samsung" world champion team. Broadly speaking, this is due to the high-level development of China-Arab relations in recent years, especially the joint efforts of the two countries to fight the COVID-19 epidemic, jointly promote the "Belt and Road" cooperation, celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations and hold the China-Arab friendly cooperation year. The traditional friendship between the two peoples has been continuously sublimated, vividly explaining the true meaning of "knowing each other is not far away, and heaven remains our neighbourhood". From the specific field of football, both the China government and the people pay more and more attention to youth football training, which provides an important opportunity for China and to deepen football exchanges and cooperation. According to incomplete statistics, before the COVID-19 epidemic, more than 100 young soccer players from China received training in Argentina, and dozens of soccer coaches from Argentina worked in schools all over China, which was very popular. It is estimated that China needs to introduce about 2,000 Argentine football coaches to help us train young football players, which has great attraction to Argentina.

  On April 4, 2023, Zou Xiaoli, Ambassador of China to Argentina, was invited to visit the headquarters of the Argentine Football Association and was warmly received by tapia, President of the Football Association (Source: website of the China Embassy in Argentina).

  Zou Xiaoli:I once talked with Mr. tapia, President of Argentine Football Association. He visited China many times, liked China culture very much and admired China’s great achievements. Recently, my colleagues in the Embassy and I were invited to visit the headquarters of the Argentine Football Association and the training base of the Argentine national football team. President tapia enthusiastically took out the World Cup and let us take photos. He hoped that the Argentine national men’s football team’s visit to China would bring joy to the fans in China, further enhance mutual understanding and affection between the two peoples, and promote cooperation in youth football training, co-hosting high-level competitions and sports and cultural exchanges. I also sincerely hope and believe that the Argentine national men’s football team’s competition in China will be a journey of friendship, joy and cooperation.

Endpoint sinks innovate the risk factors of COPD

       Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), referred to as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is listed as the four major chronic diseases in the world by the World Health Organization together with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cancer. According to the 2019 Global Health Estimate Report released by the World Health Organization, COPD has become the third leading cause of death after ischemic heart disease and stroke, accounting for 6% of the total number of deaths worldwide. What are the pathogenic factors of such a terrible chronic obstructive pulmonary disease? Let’s learn about the risk factors of COPD together.

       The main risk factors of COPD include smoking, environmental pollution, occupational dust and chemical contact, infection, genetic factors and so on.

       I. Smoking and environmental factors

       1. Smoking:

       Smoking is the most common risk factor for COPD at present. Compared with non-smokers, smokers are more likely to have respiratory symptoms and abnormal lung function. The risk of smokers suffering from COPD is related to the amount of smoking. The age of starting smoking, the total number of smoking packages and smoking status are all predictive factors of COPD mortality. Many studies have made it clear that smoking is the most important risk factor for the occurrence and development of COPD, and the increase of smokers will inevitably lead to the increase of COPD population. Smoking index (the product of the number of cigarettes per day and the number of years of smoking) is more than 200 years, which is obviously harmful. The longer you smoke, the more you smoke every day, and the higher the prevalence of COPD. The survey of coal miners also shows that the higher the smoking index, the higher the proportion of coal miners’ pneumoconiosis complicated with COPD.

       2, occupational dust and chemicals:

        Occupational exposure is an easily overlooked risk factor for COPD, including mining, quarrying, cement dust, foundry, grain dust, paint, chemical industry and other occupational dust or gas smoke exposure. With the development of social industrialization, irritating smoke, dust and air pollution (such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, chlorine gas and ozone) are becoming more and more serious. These factors can induce COPD and make the existing COPD chronic.

       3. Air pollution:

       Air pollution is one of the important factors leading to COPD. The air pollution in cities and towns is mainly caused by the burning of petroleum, which mainly comes from the tail gas emitted by motor vehicles. Its main components are carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, soot particles (some heavy metal compounds, lead compounds, black smoke and oil mist), formaldehyde and so on. Indoor air pollution is also an important factor leading to COPD in many developing countries, especially women in developing countries.

       4. Infection:

       More than 10 kinds of virus infections are related to chronic bronchitis. Influenza virus, rhinovirus and coronavirus can all cause upper respiratory tract infection.

       Second, host factors There are genetic susceptibility genes in COPD patients.

       1, airway high reactivity:

       Airway hyperresponsiveness, which is closely related to heredity, is considered to be related to COPD.

       2, lung development and poor growth:

       According to foreign research data, individuals who suffer from poor lung development or growth during pregnancy, newborn, infancy or childhood are prone to COPD in adulthood.

       3. Family aggregation tendency:

       COPD has a genetic tendency. It is clear that COPD is a hereditary disease, but its genetic tendency is not as high as asthma.

       Third, other factors: including gender and age, socio-economic status and malnutrition.

       COPD can be prevented, but it can’t be cured at present. Patients with COPD are usually diagnosed to be over 40 years old. Xiaobian here suggests that people over 40 years old, those who have been exposed to risk factors such as long-term smoking, occupational dust and chemical substances, should be tested for lung function every year.

Discipline supervision should not be biased.

"When I checked the office, I found cigarettes, coffee, snacks in the drawer and novels, essays and other books unrelated to work in the filing cabinet." This is the content of a problem report after the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Jinshi City, Hunan Province recently raided the office space of the education system. The inspection targets are the Education Bureau and two schools.

one

one

Recently, after the notification flowed out of the WeChat group of the discipline inspection team of Tianjin Education Bureau, it caused a heated discussion and was questioned as "standard overweight". On April 26th, the Tianjin Municipal Committee responded that there were some problems in the inspection process, such as inaccurate standards, improper inspection methods and improper working procedures.

The office is certainly different from home — — It is a purely private place; But the office is by no means a pure open public place. There is no doubt that the placement of items in the office must be carried out around the purpose of facilitating work. For example, if anyone keeps a cat or dog in the office, it can be identified by common sense alone that it will affect their work, and no unit will allow it. However, there are cigarettes, coffee and snacks in the drawer, novels, essays and other books in the filing cabinet, and it is reasonable to put a few potted plants on the desk.

People always have all kinds of reasonable needs based on human nature.For example, work must be combined with rest, and you need a moderate rest when you are tired. In this regard, Article 3 of the Labor Law also clearly stipulates that workers have the right to rest and vacation. Then, when you are tired from work, it is normal to make a cup of coffee or jujube tea and relax. Do we have to drink for nothing?

You can’t ask them to run like unconscious machines,There are cigarettes and coffee in the drawer, and there are more than two pots of potted plants on the desk. It is also reported as a style problem, which is quite suspected of going online.

To urge the relevant personnel to do a good job, it is entirely possible for the relevant units to set up scientific, reasonable and humanized performance appraisal to achieve the goal, instead of focusing on these trivial things.

This "problem report" of the Tianjin Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection is based on the premise of "rummaging through everything".

It’s not so much a surprise inspection as a surprise search.The reason why it "provoked public anger" and was finally instructed by the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee to "draw inferences from others and learn lessons" lies in trampling on the personal dignity, personal privacy and other legal rights of relevant personnel.

State-owned laws, family rules, and party discipline. The use of office buildings in the education system can of course have rules and regulations. However, the discipline supervision of discipline inspection and supervision institutions, first of all,Its discipline standard is reasonable, human nature and common sense; Both, no matter what discipline standards, discipline cannot override the law and cannot infringe on the legal rights of relevant citizens.

There is nothing wrong with opposing "four winds", strengthening supervision and discipline, and building work style.

However, in recent years, in some places, in the specific implementation process, there have also been cases where the sword is biased and the good scriptures are read askew.

An obvious example is that some units don’t even give out normal benefits because of anti-hedonism and extravagance. No matter in the Civil Service Law or the Labor Contract Law, it is stipulated that staff members shall enjoy the national statutory welfare treatment according to law. If discipline supervision becomes discipline and discipline, the form is greater than the content, and even the legal rights of relevant citizens are violated, it will eventually fall into the pattern of formalism.

Adhere to the main line of supply-side structural reform and lay a good job in "three tough battles" —— The second interpretation of the 2018 Central Economic Work Conference series

  2018 is destined to be an extraordinary year in China’s development process.

  In the first year of fully implementing the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in the face of the complicated and severe external environment and the internal pressure of economic downturn, China’s macro-control objectives were well accomplished, the three major battles started well, and the supply-side structural reform was further promoted.

  How to turn crisis into opportunity and turn crisis into safety when the economic operation is changing steadily and worrying? The just-concluded Central Economic Work Conference emphasized that we must unswervingly adhere to the supply-side structural reform as the main line and fight three key battles against outstanding problems.

  Face up to difficulties and persist in taking supply-side structural reform as the main line.

  From January to September, the steel enterprises of China Steel Association achieved a profit of 229.963 billion yuan, an increase of 86.01% year-on-year, setting the best performance in history.

  "This is due to the supply-side structural reform." Liu Zhenjiang, secretary general of China Iron and Steel Industry Association, said.

  To do a good job in economic work, we must focus on the main contradictions.

  The Central Economic Work Conference made a clear judgment: the main contradiction of China’s economic operation is still supply-side structural, and we must persist in taking supply-side structural reform as the main line, adopt more reform methods, and make more use of marketization and rule of law to work hard on the words "consolidate, strengthen, upgrade and smooth".

  In April this year, the National Development and Reform Commission and other six departments jointly issued the "Notice on Doing a Good Job in Resolving Excess Capacity in Key Areas in 2018", which made it clear that this year we should continue to carry out in-depth steel de-capacity, continuously improve the quality of coal supply system, actively and steadily resolve the excess capacity of coal-fired power, and strive to achieve the goal of further reducing the steel production capacity by about 30 million tons, withdrawing from coal production capacity by about 150 million tons, and eliminating coal-fired power units below 300,000 kilowatts that fail to meet the standards.

  Various regions and departments have successively introduced a number of new measures, such as continuing to deepen the reform of value-added tax, reducing the rate of value-added tax in manufacturing and other industries, and introducing a series of tax reduction measures to support entrepreneurial innovation and the development of small and micro enterprises.

  "China’s economy has shifted from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development stage. Further improving the understanding of supply-side structural reforms is of great significance for accelerating the construction of a modern economic system and promoting high-quality economic development." Gao Guoli, a researcher at China Macroeconomic Research Institute, said.

  Cross the barrier and continue to fight three tough battles against outstanding problems.

  A few days ago, ten counties (cities) in Henan Province were notified by the Office of the Leading Group for Fighting against Pollution, because the air pollution index remained high and fell behind many times in the ranking of the whole province.

  Winning the three major battles is the key point that must be crossed to build a well-off society in an all-round way. The Central Economic Work Conference emphasized that this year’s three major battles were successful in the first battle, and next year, we should focus on outstanding problems and lay a good job in key battles.

  Focus on resolving major risks — —

  In early November, the China Financial Stability Report (2018) issued by the People’s Bank of China held that the current financial risks have generally converged and the financial chaos has been preliminarily controlled. Looking forward to 2019, the basic situation of China’s large economy, large market and strong resilience has not changed, the institutional risks will be gradually managed and resolved smoothly, and the foundation for stable financial operation will be more stable.

  "A series of measures to prevent and resolve financial risks since 2017 have achieved remarkable results. Overall, China’s economic and financial risks are controllable and there will be no systemic risks. " Zhou Xuedong, director of the General Office of the People’s Bank of China and director of the Financial Stability Board, said.

  Get rid of poverty and attack hard — —

  Central planning, overall responsibility of the province, implementation by cities and counties, establishment of files and cards, accurate identification of poor people, selection of resident teams, and strengthening front-line work force … … With the joint efforts of the whole society, China has made solid progress in solving regional overall poverty.

  The Central Economic Work Conference requested that we should focus on solving the outstanding problems in realizing the "two guarantees and three guarantees", increase the efforts of poverty-stricken areas and special poverty-stricken groups such as "three districts and three states", reduce and prevent the poor from returning to poverty, and study and solve new problems such as the lack of policy support for those groups whose income level is slightly higher than that of poor households with established cards.

  The the State Council Poverty Alleviation Office predicts that by the end of the year, the number of poor people in rural areas will be reduced by more than 85%, poverty-stricken villages will be withdrawn by about 80%, and poverty-stricken counties will be lifted out of poverty by more than 50%.

  Clear water and blue sky consolidate achievements — —

  The Central Economic Work Conference clearly pointed out that to fight the battle against pollution, we must hold our ground and consolidate our achievements.

  In order to exchange for clear water, blue sky and pure land, the battle against pollution has been continuously exerted this year.

  Through continuous intensive supervision in key areas such as Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta and Fenwei Plain, the pollution problem has been curbed, from the over-discharge of enterprises to the incomplete rectification of scattered pollution, from the rectification of small boilers to the control of dust on construction sites.

  From January to October, the national average number of excellent days was 81.5%, up by 0.9 percentage points year-on-year, the concentration of PM2.5 decreased by 7.5%, and the concentration of PM10 decreased by 4.2%.

  Mao Shengyong, spokesman of the National Bureau of Statistics, said that in the first three quarters, the investment in the national ecological protection and environmental management industry increased by 33.7% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 28.3 percentage points faster than the total investment, which became a highlight to promote the high-quality economic development in China.

  Unswervingly push China’s economy to a new stage of high-quality development.

  From January to November, China’s private investment increased by 8.7%, 3 percentage points higher than the same period of last year and 2.8 percentage points faster than the overall investment. In terms of industries, private investment in manufacturing increased by 10.3%, up by 6.2 percentage points over the same period of last year.

  The relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission said that with the implementation of a series of policies to encourage private investment and support private enterprises, such as introducing key projects to private capital, private investment has always maintained a good growth momentum this year.

  The Central Economic Work Conference requires that we should closely follow the new connotation of important strategic opportunities, accelerate the optimization and upgrading of economic structure, enhance the ability of scientific and technological innovation, deepen reform and opening up, accelerate green development, participate in the reform of global economic governance system, and turn pressure into a driving force for accelerating high-quality economic development.

  "In the face of new difficulties and challenges, we must have a clearer understanding and strive to turn crises into opportunities to push China’s economy to a new stage of high-quality development." Zhang Yansheng, chief researcher of China International Economic Exchange Center, said.

  Both the Central Economic Work Conference and the recently held Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party emphasized the "Five Persistences": adhering to the general tone of striving for progress while maintaining stability, adhering to the new development concept, persisting in promoting high-quality development, persisting in the supply-side structural reform as the main line, persisting in deepening market-oriented reform and expanding high-level opening up.

  From January to November, the added value of high-tech manufacturing and equipment manufacturing was 5.5 and 2.0 percentage points faster than that of industries above designated size, respectively; In the first three quarters, the contribution of service industry and consumption to economic growth rose to 60.8% and 78% respectively.

  According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, the new kinetic energy index of China’s economic development from 2015 to 2017 was 123.5, 156.7 and 210.1, respectively, which was accelerating year by year.

  The more complicated the situation, the more we must maintain our strategic strength and seize the period of strategic opportunities. Zhang Junkuo, deputy director of the State Council Development Research Center, believes that in the face of complex situation, the key is to unswervingly deepen reform and open wider to the outside world, and strive to improve the institutional and policy environment conducive to promoting high-quality development.

55,000 women in South Korea once protested in the streets: My life is not your porn.

  CCTV News:The phenomenon of sneak shots is rampant and gender discrimination is deeply rooted, which is a stubborn disease in Korean society. Just last week, South Korean police arrested two men. In the past three months, they used sneak cameras to sneak shots of about 1,600 guests in motels and uploaded indecent videos to the Internet.

  Park Soo-hyun, a Korean girl, has been committed to helping women trapped by candid photos.

  Park Soo-hyun said, this is disgusting, this is a crime, and I will not stand by and do nothing. How can I live as a woman in Korea? I should leave.

  Park Soo-hyun believes that the root of the rampant phenomenon of sneak shots lies in the traditional concept that South Korea takes men as the center and does not respect women.

  Zheng Zhongshu, a government official, said that Korean society has always regarded violence against women as trivial, private and unimportant.

  According to the BBC, South Korea reports more than 6,000 cases of sneak shots every year, and 80% of the victims are women.

  Cameras are installed in toilets, fitting rooms in shopping malls, gymnasiums and swimming pools, and indecent videos are often posted on pornographic websites.

  According to South Korean government data, only 8.7% of people were punished for taking candid photos.

  Even South Korean President Moon Jae in admits that the crime of secretly photographing seems to have become a part of daily life.

  On July 7, 2018, about 55,000 women marched in the streets, calling for a crackdown on "sneak shots of pornographic pictures of women", which was one of the largest female-only protests in South Korea’s history.

  They accused men who regarded women as playthings and held up the slogan: My life is not your porn.

  The "nightclub door" scandal also brought another case back to public view 10 years ago.

  In March 2009, Zhang Ziyan, a 26-year-old Korean actress, committed suicide, leaving a 230-page suicide note.

  In the published suicide note, she accused herself of being forced by her entertainment company to provide hundreds of sexual services, including more than 30 enterprises and media executives.

  Zhang Ziyan’s death shocked South Korea, which once triggered a wave of public opinion, but the prosecution closed the case with no criminal suspicion.

  Since then, the Korean people have petitioned many times. In 2018, the South Korean Procuratorate restarted the investigation of Zhang Ziyan’s case, and the investigation period ended at the end of March this year.

  On the 18th, South Korean President Moon Jae in officially ordered a thorough investigation of the Zhang Ziyan case and the nightclub case.

  On the 19th, South Korean Justice Minister Park Sang-ki announced that the investigation period of "Zhang Ziyan case" would be extended by two months.

  This "biggest scandal in the history" in South Korea’s entertainment circle not only caused the Korean idol to encounter an image crisis, but also made people begin to reflect on many long-standing problems in South Korea’s pop culture industry: female discrimination, money and power trading, contempt and infringement of judicial justice.

A number of colleges and universities no longer recruit "college-upgraded" schools. Response: Preparations are under way for transfer.

  Recently, it has been reported that many colleges and universities no longer recruit "undergraduate students", and there are various news about colleges and universities stopping recruiting "undergraduate students" on the Internet, which has caused many students and parents in higher vocational colleges to worry. Did the undergraduate colleges really stop recruiting "undergraduate students"? Do students from higher vocational colleges still have the opportunity to enter the ideal undergraduate colleges for further study? Recently, the reporter conducted an interview in Jiangsu, a major province of higher education.

  The reporter interviewed a number of undergraduate colleges in Jiangsu, and verified the enrollment situation of "college-upgraded undergraduate". It was found that in 2022, Jiangsu Province selected outstanding junior college students to transfer to undergraduate study plan for normal enrollment, and the enrollment quota increased by more than 2,000 on the basis of 2021.

  For a long time, "upgrading from college to undergraduate" has always been regarded as a "small college entrance examination" by students in higher vocational colleges, and it is an opportunity to change from a junior college degree to an undergraduate degree. Although the competition for further studies is not small, there are not a few students who face difficulties. According to incomplete statistics, more than 30% of students in higher vocational colleges choose "upgrading from college to undergraduate" for the purpose of further study. The admission rate of Jiangsu’s "college-upgraded undergraduate" has exceeded 40% all the year round.

  The reporter learned from the Education Department of Jiangsu Province that on December 3, 2021, the department issued the Notice of the Education Department of Jiangsu Province on Doing a Good Job of "Specialized Transfer" for Colleges and Universities in 2022, and made clear arrangements for receiving institutions and plans, selecting objects and methods. The reporter looked up the schedule of "specialized transfer-to-undergraduate" branch schools of ordinary universities in Jiangsu Province in 2022. This year, 50 ordinary universities in Jiangsu participated in the "specialized transfer-to-undergraduate" enrollment plan, including Nanjing University of Information Science & Technology, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications and Nanjing Forestry University, as well as regional key universities such as Jiangsu University, Yangzhou University and Jiangsu Normal University.

  According to statistics, this year, 50 "specialized transfer" enrollment units in Jiangsu Province enrolled a total of 32,795 students, while in 2021, 53 "specialized transfer" enrollment units in Jiangsu Province enrolled 30,335 students, an increase of 2,460 students this year compared with last year.

  However, some parents also reported that compared with the schedules of "specialized transfer programs" for colleges and universities in Jiangsu Province in 2021 and 2022, several independent undergraduate course colleges in Jiangsu Province, such as Chengxian College of Southeast University, Zhongbei College of Nanjing Normal University and Suzhou Institute of Technology of Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, did stop recruiting "specialized transfer programs" this year.

  In order to explore the reasons for stopping the recruitment of "specialized transfer", the reporter called these independent colleges respectively. The staff in charge of enrollment of Suzhou Institute of Technology of Jiangsu University of Science and Technology and Zhongbei College of Nanjing Normal University told the reporter that the reason for stopping the recruitment of "specialized transfer" was that the school was preparing for the transfer.

  Teacher Li, the Admissions and Employment Guidance Center of Suzhou Institute of Technology, Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, explained to reporters that because the school is currently promoting the transfer work and is expected to be transferred to Suzhou Institute of Technology in the future, it has suspended the enrollment of "specialized transfer" this year. "The plan announced by the Ministry of Education shall prevail in the end. If the school is successfully transferred, it may be restarted under the new school name in the future ‘ Special edition ’ Work. " Teacher Li said. (Economic Daily reporter Jiang Bo)

The more difficult it is to turn over.

After a lapse of four years, the Beijing Auto Show has returned and attracted much attention. The long-lost A-class auto show and the fierce competition in the new energy vehicle market have made all auto manufacturers try their best at this auto show.

Extreme Vietnam is no exception.

At this Beijing Auto Show, Extreme Yue announced its second production model, Extreme Yue 07, and made its debut at the auto show. According to the previous information, Extreme Yue 07 will inherit and upgrade its ability in voice and intelligent driving. In addition, Chaoyue will also open PPA in 200+ cities across the country to improve the convenience of users’ travel.

Obviously, Extreme Vietnam is stepping up its pace. As a brand that has "no such person" for a long time, the more urgent it is, the stronger it is than anyone else. According to the data of Tiger Sniff APP, since its listing in October 2023, its monthly sales have been 594, 774, 218 and 167 respectively.

In fact, this new brand, which was established less than a year ago, is behind two well-known enterprises, Baidu and Geely.

"I really haven’t heard of the brand of Extreme Yue before, and there is no sound in the market." A consumer who entered the store for the first time said so.

In today’s fierce competition period which is rare in China’s automobile history, the low popularity also makes the terminal of Chaoyue face greater sales pressure.

Recently, for a long time, Xia Yiping, CEO of Extreme Vietnam, was active in the sales front line and went to the sales store to sell cars in person. In this process, he constantly learned what Ji Yue did right and wrong, and what customers really needed.

Xia Yiping said that the overall data of Extreme Vietnam is improving.

But there is no doubt that in the past six months since listing, the more opportunities have been missed. Just one month after listing last year, the company suddenly dropped 30,000 yuan, from the original 249,900 yuan to 219,900 yuan.

Despite being backed by Geely and Baidu, there seems to be nothing to get rid of except smart driving.

Facts have proved that consumers’ recognition of smart driving is far from as high as imagined. Some insiders admit that consumers’ recognition of Baidu does not mean that it is extremely recognized.

For the "newcomers" in the automobile circle, this turnaround is not easy to fight in the case of early defeat.

01 Extremely over-sold, down 30,000 in January.

"Let’s pass by and have a look at the extreme ~"

When you pass by this Extreme Yue Automobile Experience Store located in Heshenghui, the core business district of Beijing, the Extreme Yue 01 in the store has already taken the lead in greeting you.

According to the sales consultant in the store, this section of speech recognition outside the car was issued by this ultra-01 in front of you. "Through intelligent recognition, this car can realize voice interaction inside and outside the car, including opening and closing doors, unlocking vehicles, etc., which is very intelligent."

At the weekend, the entire Heshenghui shopping mall was crowded with people, and consumers stopped to watch from time to time in the ultra-Vietnamese auto shop. According to the observation of "visiting customers", within one hour, half of the consumers are attracted to the store experience by voice outside the store.

But unexpectedly, during this period, no customer expressed a clear purchase intention or test drive intention.

Kobayashi (a pseudonym), a sales consultant, seems to have become accustomed to this. After receiving the first batch of customers, he immediately accepted the new customers and explained the intelligent driving advantages of this car.

An insider revealed to the "Visitor Travel" that since the opening of this experience store in the core business district of Beijing, there has not been a single delivery.

The inability to convert customers into actual sales volume is indeed the difficulty that the company has faced since its listing in 01.

"Visitor Travel" learned that since the official listing of the Extreme Yue 01 on October 27th, 2023, within 24 hours of listing, the official order quantity of the Extreme Yue 01 has reached 15,000, which is enough to show the market’s expectation for this model at the beginning of listing.

However, the delivery data of the first month did not meet the expectations of the market and consumers. According to the data, the delivery volume of Extreme Vietnam in the first month of 2001 was only 594.

Analysts commented that the huge difference between the actual delivery volume and the order volume, on the one hand, is the production capacity layout, on the other hand, the final conversion volume of orders is not good, and consumers continue to wait and see the products.

Or affected by the poor delivery in the first month, one month after the listing, Extreme Yue 01 immediately announced that the price of all models would be lowered by 30,000 yuan, as well as a limited-time discount for smart driving bags. This behavior of sharply reducing the price within one month of listing is really rare in the whole industry.

At the same time, in order to avoid the "backstab" behavior, Extreme Vietnam offered 30,000 yuan in cash compensation to the users of the premise car while reducing the price.

In fact, before and after the price adjustment, the 200,000-class Extreme Yue 01 is the most competitive price range in China’s new energy vehicle market, especially for SUV models, such as Tesla Model Y, Wenjie M5, Tucki G6 and Weilai ES6.

For this price adjustment, Zhang Xiang, a visiting professor at Huanghe Institute of Science and Technology, believes that the price reduction strategy is likely to be that manufacturers attract consumers at lower prices in order to cope with market competition. "But this kind of official behavior within one month will inevitably lead to the misjudgment of the early decision-making level."

In October last year, Xia Yiping, CEO of Extreme Vietnam, said in an exclusive interview with the media that from beginning to end, we wanted to have a fight with Tesla. At that time, Xia Yiping said that everyone wanted to benchmark Tesla, but no one can shake its position yet. "I think we should not set the price very low when making products. The key is that the product positioning should match the target customers."

However, in less than a month, Extreme Vietnam still fell into the "cliche" of price war, exchanging price for quantity.

02 New Brand Can’t Play with "New" Marketing

Under the condition of low brand awareness and sales volume, the action of extreme marketing has obviously accelerated. However, compared with the car brands that are also blessed by Internet manufacturers, Extreme Vietnam has taken a completely different script from Huawei and Xiaomi.

The marketing problem of terminal has always been the biggest problem that puzzles this new brand.

Even many potential users said on social platforms that after carefully studying the Extreme Yue 01, they also felt that many configurations of this car were good, and they could play at the same price, but they were not known by consumers and there was no sound in the market.

But as the above-mentioned potential users said, the premise of knowing the best is to study it carefully and understand it deeply.

In the car experience of Extreme Yue, it can be clearly felt that the whole introduction of product consultant revolves around the intelligent driving experience of Extreme Yue 01 and the interaction of AI model, and the technical impression is very strong.

The introduction of strong technical sense makes terminal marketing completely ignore the importance of brand influence and brand building.

When Xia Yiping reflected on the problem of low sales, he also pointed the cause of the problem at marketing. "As a new brand and a new category of products, when a user enters the store, the first question to think about is not that I want to buy a car, but what brand it is, which requires us to solve the problem."

Xia Yiping’s words are obscure, but it also shows the misunderstanding in the terminal marketing mode.

What’s more dramatic is that the brand of Extreme Yue was known to more consumers for the first time because of a "farce" about Xiaomi.

A few days ago, Jiyue Automobile was sent to a hot search because of the social posting of former employees.

The former employee released a video saying that the company was fired for purchasing Xiaomi SU7, and said that "the company did not pay compensation, and also said that it violated the non-competition agreement."

Later, the company clarified that the company was not fired because Yao bought a certain car, but the other party engaged in activities unrelated to the company’s business during working hours, which seriously violated his own work and professional ethics.

The Extreme Vietnam Legal Department stated that Yao’s behavior has seriously violated the company’s labor discipline and rules and regulations, because it is legal and reasonable for the company to unilaterally terminate the labor contract.

For this matter, the attitude of the car is clear. It said that the company did not ask employees not to buy other brands of cars. No matter which brand of cars employees drive, the company’s exclusive parking lot provided them with parking spaces and charging facilities to show the company’s concern for employees.

Looking at the whole story, there is nothing wrong with the practice of the car. However, under the crowd, the fact that the outside world has a low awareness of the brand is also exposed.

According to Cailian News Agency, Jiyue Automobile is carrying out drastic reforms on the marketing side and the sales side. The head of UD- user development department at the marketing side and a number of user directors "dismissed", and Xia Yiping is currently in charge of the department. It is reported that since the end of March, there have been intensive personnel changes in the two major departments of UD and UO.

03 AI big model saves the extreme?

Compared with marketing methods, Baidu, who was born in an Internet company, is more focused on the creation of technical genes.

Baidu is the earliest technology company in China to invest in the research and development of autonomous driving technology. Its Apollo has the largest commercial operation fleet of Robotaxi in China, with a cumulative operating mileage of over 70 million kilometers.

Powerful technical genes enable Baidu to quickly apply its Apollo intelligent driving scheme to the ultra-fast car. At present, it is one of the few companies in China that can support vehicle SOA. Earlier, Xia Yiping also said that the ratio of PPA intelligent driving mileage of extreme users to the total mileage of travel is 2-4 times that of friendly basic assisted driving.

At the same time, with the blessing of Baidu, the Extreme Yue 01 is the world’s first ERNIE Bot model car. Xia Yiping said that the main difference between the big models used in cars is the boarding experience. SIMO, the intelligent AI partner who gets on the bus, is fully integrated with ERNIE Bot, and supports all functional instructions in the car.

In terms of intelligence, Extreme Yue is also different from most car companies. It adopts a pure visual intelligent driving scheme with the same origin as Tesla, and it is the "only second" pure visual solution mass production brand in the world. At the AI DAY held a few days ago, the company carried out the fifth OTA upgrade since its listing, almost updating every month since its listing.

It can be said responsibly that with the blessing of Baidu, there is no shortage of intelligence.

However, the problem is that in the current market stage, the popularization of intelligent driving technology and user acceptance are still a gradual process, and it is extremely necessary to invest more efforts in market education and user training.

The hard condition is that, up to now, China’s autonomous driving technology still stays at L2 level, and fully intelligent driving is limited by policies and regulations, and also restricted by actual road traffic conditions.

More importantly, for the current consumers, intelligence is not a "timely help", but a "icing on the cake".

According to the research on China’s new car purchase intention (NVI) released by J.D.Power in 2023, although the intelligent experience of cars has increased in recent years, its influence on users’ car purchase only accounts for 14%.

As Yang Tao, general manager of J.D.Power’s China Automotive Products Division, said, in this year’s research on new car purchase intention, the influence weight of intelligent experience on consumers’ car purchase rose to 14%, reflecting that with the transformation and upgrading of China’s automobile market, smart cars equipped with advanced technology are becoming an important choice for consumers to buy cars.

For car companies, simply piling up intelligent configuration does not mean realizing the intelligent experience of users. Only by finding the real demand scenarios of target users and presenting them in a form that they can easily understand and use can the intelligent experience be improved.

This also means that the advantages of intelligent driving are valuable, but it is the essence of car companies’ technology development to transform it into brand voice and ultimately affect market performance and user acceptance.

In the view of "visiting tourists", the AI tag is more like icing on the cake for the ultra-Vietnamese car. The product experience in intelligent driving and AI has increasingly become the key for consumers to buy new cars.

It is reported that the second pure electric car, Extreme Yue 07, will be launched in the second half of the year, with a more dynamic appearance and design, bearing the determination of Extreme Yue to "turn over".

However, it has to be admitted that for today’s involution-oriented automobile market, all brands are gearing up, and the intensity is not the same, and the knockout has already begun. Being in the extreme, if you want to be the one left behind, you must come up with real skills.
