Now that the mountain torrents have receded, the organizers of Gaoguan Town are transferring the materials of the health center and carrying out dredging work. It is expected that the hospital will operate normally after one week.

　　Jiang Zhengwei also runs around the hospitals that receive patients such as Heyu and Xiuqi every day, always paying attention to the changes of patients’ condition. Jiang Zhengwei said: "A party member is a banner. At present, natural disasters should make the masses feel the care and help of the party Committee and government, feel the good style of party member cadres, and let party flag fly high in the front line of flood control, rallying a strong synergy to overcome the difficulties.

Building a modern economic system with supply-side structural reform as the main line

　　The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly put forward: implementing the new development concept and building a modern economic system. The core of building a modern economic system is to promote high-quality development, which mainly includes two aspects: first, on the basis of quality change, efficiency change, power change and improving total factor productivity, to build an industrial system with coordinated development of real economy, scientific and technological innovation, modern finance and human resources; Second, on the basis of adhering to the direction of socialist market economy reform, build an economic system with effective market mechanism, dynamic micro-subjects and moderate macro-control. To promote these two aspects of construction, we need to take supply-side structural reform as the main line.

　　It is objectively inevitable to take the supply-side structural reform as the main line.

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and the cause of the party and the state has achieved all-round and groundbreaking achievements, and profound and fundamental changes have taken place. An important manifestation of the historic changes in the cause of the party and the state is that the main social contradictions have been transformed into contradictions between the people’s growing needs for a better life and the unbalanced development. The change of the main contradiction in our society fundamentally determines that we must build a modern economic system with the supply-side structural reform as the main line.

　　The basic movement mode of social principal contradiction has not changed, which determines that development is still the basis and key to solve all problems. In the new era, the main social contradiction in our country has changed, but its basic movement mode has not changed, and it is still the contradiction between "development" and "need", and the solution is still to meet "need" through "development". Therefore, although the main social contradictions have changed, "our judgment on the historical stage of socialism in China has not changed, the basic national conditions that China is still in the primary stage of socialism for a long time have not changed, and China’s international status as the largest developing country in the world has not changed." This means that development is still the basis and key to solve all problems and the top priority of the party in governing and rejuvenating the country. The fundamental purpose of supply-side structural reform is to improve the level of social productivity and better meet the people’s growing needs for a better life. It makes the supply system adapt to the change of demand structure effectively, so that "development" and "need" are interconnected and matched effectively. Therefore, in the new era, the development, especially the liberation and development of social productive forces as the basis of social development, needs to exert strength from the supply side and deepen the structural reform of the supply side.

　　The connotation of major social contradictions has undergone profound changes, which requires great efforts to solve the supply-side problem in development. Entering the new era, the two ends of the main contradiction movement in our society — — The connotations of "need" and "development" themselves have undergone profound historical changes, which have led to profound changes in the connotation of major social contradictory movements, from the contradiction between people’s growing material and cultural needs and backward social production to the contradiction between people’s growing need for a better life and unbalanced development. At present, the main factor that restricts the people’s growing need for a better life is the insufficient imbalance of development. The root of this imbalance lies in the insufficient quality and efficiency of supply, structure and level, and innovation ability, which is manifested in the fact that the level of the real economy needs to be improved, the ecological environment protection has a long way to go, there are still many shortcomings in the people’s livelihood, the task of tackling poverty is arduous, and the gap between urban and rural regional development and income distribution is still large. These outstanding problems are essentially problems on the supply side of the national economy. The fundamental reason is that the productive forces are not developed enough, and the root cause is a major structural imbalance. The supply-side structural reform focuses on solving structural problems, and the main direction is to improve the quality of supply. The fundamental starting point is to make China’s supply capacity better meet the people’s growing, upgrading and personalized needs for a better life, thus achieving the goal of socialist production. Only by building a modern economic system with supply-side structural reform as the main line,Only in this way can we solve the major structural imbalance and lay a solid material foundation for completely solving the problem of insufficient development imbalance and meeting the people’s growing needs for a better life.

　　To effectively resolve the risks in the current economic operation, we need to take the supply-side structural reform as the main line. Modern economic system must be an economic system that can effectively cope with risks. At present, the "double risks" of China’s economy coexist, including the potential inflationary pressure driven by cost and the downside risk caused by weak demand, and the reasons are mainly concentrated on the supply side. For example, the main reason for the potential inflationary pressure is the rising factor cost on the supply side; The deep-seated reason for the slowdown in investment demand growth is that the supply-side innovation ability is insufficient and it is difficult to find effective investment opportunities; The main reasons why consumption is restrained to some extent are effective and insufficient supply in the middle and high end. Therefore, to overcome the new imbalance of "double risks", we need to build a modern economic system with supply-side structural reform as the main line.

　　The supply-side structural reform has grasped the key to building a coordinated industrial system.

　　The industrial system of coordinated development of real economy, scientific and technological innovation, modern finance and human resources is an important part of modern economic system. The supply-side structural reform has grasped the key to building a coordinated industrial system.

　　Comprehensively improve the level of the real economy, especially the manufacturing industry. The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out: "To build a modern economic system, we must focus on the real economy and improve the quality of the supply system as the main direction, so as to significantly enhance China’s economic quality advantage." No matter when the economy develops, the real economy is the foundation for China’s economic development and winning the initiative in international economic competition. Developing the real economy is the core and key to build an industrial system with the coordinated development of the real economy, scientific and technological innovation, modern finance and human resources. The main task of supply-side structural reform is to revitalize the real economy. Unlike demand-side management, which focuses on the demand side and consumers, supply-side structural reform focuses on the supply side and producers. This mainly includes three categories: first, as the first factor of production, the supply-side structural reform should focus on improving labor productivity and building a knowledge-based, skilled and innovative workforce; Second, enterprises combined with means of production, supply-side structural reform focuses on improving the competitiveness of enterprises, cultivating world-class enterprises with global competitiveness, stimulating and protecting entrepreneurship, and encouraging more social subjects to participate in innovation and entrepreneurship; The third is the collection of enterprises and enterprises — — Industrial and supply-side structural reform should improve industrial organization, optimize industrial structure, cultivate new growth points, form new kinetic energy, support the optimization and upgrading of traditional industries, and cultivate world-class advanced manufacturing clusters. These measures will certainly stimulate economic vitality and accelerate the transformation of growth momentum.Comprehensively improve the level of the real economy, especially the manufacturing industry.

　　Comprehensively optimize industrial structure and improve industrial quality. Optimizing industrial structure and improving industrial quality is the proper meaning of building an industrial system with coordinated development of real economy, scientific and technological innovation, modern finance and human resources. Supply-side structural reform focuses on guiding demand development with new supply, and promoting industrial structure optimization and industrial quality improvement from three levels. First, optimize the allocation and combination of production factors such as science and technology, capital and labor, improve the utilization level of production factors, promote the improvement of total factor productivity, and continuously enhance the endogenous growth momentum of the economy; The second is to optimize the existing supply structure, by adjusting the existing product supply structure and improving the quality of products and services, to solve the problem of dislocation between supply and demand from a deep level; The third is to promote industrial optimization and restructuring, vigorously develop new industries and new formats, vigorously develop strategic emerging industries and modern service industries, and provide new products and services. The supply-side structural reform starts from the production side, and on the basis of improving the efficiency of factor allocation, total factor productivity, labor productivity and enterprise competitiveness, it promotes the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure, comprehensively improves industrial quality and quality, fosters new impetus and creates a new engine for sustained economic growth, and meets the requirements of building an industrial system with coordinated development of real economy, scientific and technological innovation, modern finance and human resources.

　　Supply-side structural reform is conducive to the realization of effective market mechanism, dynamic micro-subjects and appropriate macro-control.

　　An economic system with effective market mechanism, dynamic micro-subjects and moderate macro-control is another important part of the modern economic system, and its core lies in realizing the organic unity of the three. Only when the three are organically unified can we break all kinds of constraints on the development of social productive forces to the maximum extent and liberate and develop social productive forces; In order to avoid economic ups and downs and maintain sustained and healthy economic development; Only in this way can we stimulate the creativity and development vitality of the whole society and achieve higher quality, more efficient, fairer and more sustainable development. The essential attribute of supply-side structural reform is deepening reform, which requires accelerating the improvement of the socialist market economic system, promoting the reform of state-owned enterprises, accelerating the transformation of government functions, and deepening basic reforms in the fields of price, finance, taxation, finance, and social security. Only by building a modern economic system with supply-side structural reform as the main line can we successfully build an economic system with effective market mechanism, dynamic micro-subjects and moderate macro-control.

　　Is conducive to the realization of effective market mechanism. Making the market play a decisive role in resource allocation and giving better play to the role of the government is a major principle to promote the structural reform of the supply side. Supply-side structural reform does not stop at total intervention like demand management, but deeply affects producers and economic structure, so it puts forward higher requirements for handling the relationship between government and market and improving the socialist market economic system. Building a modern economic system with supply-side structural reform as the main line requires not only following market rules and making good use of market mechanisms to solve problems, but also letting the government shoulder the responsibility and do its own thing well. Therefore, we should persist in making the market play a decisive role in the allocation of resources, improve the market mechanism, break the monopoly of industries and local protection, enhance the ability of enterprises to respond and adjust to changes in market demand, and improve the efficiency and competitiveness of enterprise resource allocation. It is necessary to give full play to the role of the government, stimulate market vitality with reform, guide market expectations with policies, clarify investment direction with planning, and regulate market behavior with the rule of law on the basis of respecting market laws.

　　It is beneficial to improve the vitality of micro-subjects. Building a modern economic system with supply-side structural reform as the main line requires deepening the reform of property rights system and factor marketization. The purpose of deepening the reform of property rights system is to make all kinds of ownership economies and various types of property rights clearly defined, strictly protected and smoothly circulated, so as to ensure a good market order, stimulate the vitality of market players and stabilize market expectations. At this stage, it is particularly necessary to deepen the reform of state-owned enterprises, develop a mixed-ownership economy and cultivate world-class enterprises with global competitiveness; At the same time, support the development of private enterprises and stimulate the vitality of various market players. The purpose of deepening the reform of factor marketization is to implement the principle of equivalent exchange and improve the fairness and authenticity of market competition. At this stage, it is particularly necessary to fully implement the negative list system of market access and clean up and abolish various regulations and practices that hinder unified market and fair competition, especially to break administrative monopoly and prevent market monopoly; At the same time, improve the market supervision mechanism and give full play to the role of the market in determining prices. Through these two major reforms, effective incentives for property rights, free flow of factors, flexible price response, fair and orderly competition, and the survival of the fittest will be realized, effectively improving the vitality of micro-subjects.

　　Conducive to the realization of macro-control. Building a modern economic system with supply-side structural reform as the main line requires changing macro-control methods, unifying aggregate demand control with deepening supply-side structural reform, unifying short-term control with long-term control, aggregate demand control with structural control, creating a favorable environment for stable economic growth with moderate aggregate demand management, and promoting the effective solution of the deep contradiction of aggregate imbalance with supply-side structural reform. At present, we should vigorously innovate and improve macro-control, give play to the strategic guiding role of national development planning, and improve the coordination mechanism of financial, monetary, industrial and regional economic policies; Deepen the reform of investment and financing system, deepen the reform of financial system, improve the dual-pillar regulatory framework of monetary policy and macro-prudential policy, improve the financial supervision system, and continuously improve the scientificity, predictability and effectiveness of macro-control.

Awesome! I’m iron! In the past two days, the whole world has been talking about the port of Batie.

CCTV News:On November 14th, CCTV news channel "News Live Room" broadcast a 1-minute and 20-second report, "Concerned about the construction of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, the first joint trade convoy arrived in Gwadar Port". The report mentioned that the "China-Pakistan joint trade convoy" (consisting of about 50 trucks) departed from Kashgar, Xinjiang, China on October 29th, and crossed the western part of Pakistan from north to south, covering more than 3,000 kilometers. Fifteen days later, it arrived in Gwadar Port.

The first joint trade convoy arrived in Gwadar Port.

The first joint trade convoy arrived in Gwadar Port.

This report also broadcasts a picture of the dock full of containers waiting to go out to sea. The commentary is: Subsequently, the goods will be loaded with China freighters here and eventually shipped to countries such as the United Arab Emirates. The report said, "This is the first time that goods departing from China have been exported overseas through Gwadar Port, marking"China-Pakistan Economic Corridor" is becoming a reality from concept ".

This is not an ordinary transnational "driving tour". It is reported that a statement issued by the Pakistani government indicated that the first batch of China’s outbound convoys successfully arrived in Pakistan under strict security protection.

This event was officially called "the first trial connection activity of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor Joint Trade Team" by Pakistani Railway. At the ceremony held in Gwadar Port on the 13th, Sun Weidong, Ambassador of China to Pakistan, was invited to attend and deliver a speech. The people who attended the ceremony included: Pakistani Prime Minister, Pakistan Army Chief of Staff, Pakistan Navy Chief of Staff, and Pakistan Air Force Chief of Staff & HELIP; …

More than 600 people attended the whole ceremony.

China’s ambassador to Pakistan, Sun Weidong, said at the ceremony: This is the first time that a trade convoy has successfully crossed the western part of Pakistan from north to south. This shows that the local roads have achieved initial connectivity, and the concept of "one corridor and multiple channels" is gradually becoming a reality.

Pakistani Prime Minister Sharif’s speech said"Today marks the dawn of a new era".

Pakistan has leased 2,000 mu of land in Gwadar Port to the Chinese-funded China Overseas Port Holding Co., Ltd. for 40 years to build the first special economic zone in Gwadar Port. As a matter of fact, the construction of Gwadar Port has been attached great importance by western governments, media and think tanks since China began to lease this port.

Its special geographical location is one of the important reasons. According to a report in Liberation Daily, the geographical advantages of Gwadar Port can be seen at a glance: it is located in the southwestern border of Pakistan, on the Arabian Sea, close to the Iranian border, only 400 kilometers away from the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s main oil transportation channel, and comparable to the gateway to the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf.　

Yang Xun, a Pakistani correspondent of People’s Daily, once wrote in a report entitled "China enterprises sign an operation agreement for Gwadar Port": China has made great contributions to the construction of Gwadar Port. In 2007, when Pakistani President Musharraf was in power, Singapore International Port Group won the right to operate Gwadar Port for 40 years. Some analysts believe that President Musharraf didn’t hand over the port operation right to China because he didn’t want to offend the United States. However, in the subsequent operation and management, the annual freight volume of the port is insufficient, and the operation is unsustainable. Most of the time, Gwadar Port is basically idle.

The Associated Press reported on November 13th that China ships are now sailing from Malacca Strait to Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean, and China has been looking for more convenient and reliable access to the sea. Gwadar Port is located along the Arabian Sea, occupying a strategic position between South Asia, Central Asia and the Middle East.

Pei Yuanying, the former ambassador to India, once told reporters that when China’s naval formations go to Suez Canal, the Mediterranean Sea and the Gulf of Aden to take part in anti-piracy cruises, Gwadar Port will become a logistics support base for the replenishment and maintenance of large fleets along the way.

Then, what exactly is Gwadar Port and why is it valued by Pakistan?

"Gwadar Port is like Shenzhen before the reform and opening up," Seddik Ur Rahman Rana, general manager of Pakistan Technology Exchange and Cooperation Company, once told China reporters.

China reporter once described Gwadar Port as follows: In March 2002, the reporter attended the groundbreaking ceremony of the first phase project of Gwadar Port between China and Pakistan and went to Gwadar. At that time, there was only one local airport capable of taking off and landing military aircraft, and it was about an hour’s drive to the port. Along the way, there are no mountains and deserts, and there is no grass color. Gwadar village is small and the traffic is inconvenient. The local media also called it a "desolate and stony" barren land.

The expression "Shenzhen in Pakistan" has also been quoted by western media such as Bloomberg, Guardian, etc. This once unknown port is looking forward to upgrading its appearance through infrastructure construction. British journalists once described this "Shenzhen before the reform and opening up": Gwadar Port is a poor fishing village. "There was a burglary in the local area, and the only thing stolen in the house was a few tins of fresh water."

Germany’s Der Spiegel reported that barrenness and desolation have always been the colors of Gwadar Port. Now, huge containers and cranes make orange and sky blue the main colors here, echoing the blue sky. It is becoming a huge port in the Arabian Sea, which is driven by China.

On November 13th, Sun Weidong, Ambassador of China to Pakistan, said in Gwadar Port that the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is a major pioneering project of the Belt and Road Initiative proposed by the Supreme Leader of president, China in 2013. Promoting the construction of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is an important consensus reached by the leaders of China and Pakistan. The corridor faces all Pakistan and benefits the people of Pakistan and the region. The corridor has entered the stage of full implementation and made remarkable progress. Sixteen early harvest projects are under construction, creating tens of thousands of employment opportunities for local people.　

An article by official website, the Economic and Commercial Counsellor’s Office of the China Embassy in Pakistan, on November 7 revealed that.,

China and Pakistan have already started the local "West-to-East Gas Transmission Project" in Gwadar Port — — "CNPC Natural Gas Pipeline Bureau also built a 700-kilometer natural gas pipeline from Gwadar Port to Navvab Sha, which is a part of Pakistan-Iran cross-border natural gas pipeline. At that time, natural gas regasified through the terminal and natural gas accessed from the Iranian border will be transported to the eastern part of Pakistan with more developed economy through pipelines."

China-Pakistan infrastructure cooperation is not an ordinary bridge-building and road-building project, but a project worth 46 billion US dollars covering the construction of 2,000 kilometers of railways, as well as the construction of natural gas pipelines, ports and airports. Its total project amount is equivalent to 20% of Pakistan’s average annual gross domestic product (GDP). From the perspective of investment scale alone, the project is also national construction, not just development assistance.

Ka Ho Yu, an associate researcher at Chongyang Financial Research Institute of National People’s Congress, a domestic think tank, said: China-Pakistan infrastructure cooperation is not an ordinary bridge-building and road-building project, but a project worth $46 billion covering the construction of 2,000 kilometers of railways, natural gas pipelines, ports and airports, and its total project amount is equivalent to 20% of Pakistan’s average annual gross domestic product (GDP). From the perspective of investment scale alone, the project is also national construction, not just development assistance.

Agence France-Presse said that in the face of dusty ground and bright new port, Pakistani officials repeatedly said on the 13th that Gwadar Port will become another Dubai.

Gwadar Port is not an ordinary deep-water port. Its opening and the opening of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor with it as its destination are of great significance. AFP said that this will "profoundly affect the strategic pattern of Asian economic and trade".

A new case of bird flu in Brazil Ministry of Agriculture： it will not affect the consumption and export of poultry meat.

　　　Brazil confirmed on June 7th that it was highly pathogenic in a family in Campinápolis, Mato Grosso.

　
　　The Brazilian website "g1globo" reported that the official Veterinary Service Center (SVO) was responsible for blocking the farm and collecting samples for laboratory analysis, and the test result of avian influenza virus was positive. This is the fourth time that the virus has been found in a self-sufficient poultry farm in Brazil.
　
　　On the 8th, the government began to carry out disinfection measures and monitoring actions in a radius of 10 kilometers around the outbreak point. One of the measures is to set up a sanitary barrier to strictly control and thoroughly disinfect the vehicles passing through the area.
　
　　The Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture clearly pointed out that there are no commercial poultry farms in the monitored radius. The Ministry of Agriculture stressed: "Confirming the outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza in self-sufficient poultry farms will not affect the trade between Brazil and poultry and egg products. The consumption and export of poultry products are still safe. "
　
　　The Ministry of Agriculture also said: "The epidemic confirmed in self-sufficient poultry farms will not change the 28-day sanitary quarantine period after the disinfection work at the epidemic site in Negru, Rio Grande do Sul. A commercial poultry farm in the city has recently been confirmed to have an outbreak of bird flu. "
　
　　Brazil found the first case of avian influenza among wild birds in May 2023. Two years later (in 2025), on May 15th, Brazil first discovered the highly pathogenic avian influenza epidemic in the commercial breeding system, which was reported by the commercial poultry farm in Monte Negru. In the past two years, the epidemic situation of avian influenza recorded in Brazil only appeared in wild birds or self-sufficient poultry farms, and did not affect related commercial activities.
　
　　The disinfection of poultry farms affected by the virus in Monte Negru was completed on May 21st. From May 22nd, if there are no new cases of avian influenza in commercial farms in Brazil in the next 28 days, it can be regarded as "clearing the epidemic".

China’s Ministry of National Defense： Ask the US to stop selling weapons to Taiwan and military ties between the United States and Taiwan.

　　Cctv newsOn the afternoon of October 27th, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference, and Senior Colonel Tan Kefei, Deputy Director of the Information Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense and spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense, answered questions.

　　Reporter: According to Taiwan media reports, the 21st "US-Taiwan Defense Industry Conference" recently ended. According to Taiwan sources, the United States may announce a number of arms sales projects to Taiwan before the end of the year. What’s your comment on this?

　　Tan Kefei:For some time, the United States has repeatedly violated its political commitment of not supporting Taiwan independence, repeatedly played the "Taiwan Province card" to interfere in China’s internal affairs, and even sent out the wrong signal of "rejecting reunification by force" to help Taiwan. These abominable acts of the United States have seriously damaged China’s national sovereignty and security, seriously threatened peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, brought great strategic risks to the relations between China and the United States and the two armies, and sent a serious wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces. China is seriously concerned about this and resolutely opposes it.

　　This year marks the 40th anniversary of the publication of the August 17th Communiqué between China and the United States. At that time, the United States clearly admitted in the communique that there is only one China in the world, Taiwan Province is a part of China, and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) government is the only legitimate government in China. It explicitly promised not to pursue the policy of long-term arms sales to Taiwan Province and gradually reduce arms sales to Taiwan until the problem was finally solved. Black and white, clear and unambiguous. But in fact, the United States has repeatedly reneged on its commitments. Especially in recent years, the United States has falsified and hollowed out the one-China principle, and constantly instigated arms sales to Taiwan, creating obstacles for China to achieve peaceful reunification.

　　In the final analysis, the security of Taiwan Province depends on the peaceful development of cross-strait relations. The US arms sales to Taiwan will only push up the tension in the Taiwan Strait and the risk of conflict and confrontation. We urge the US to stop arms sales to Taiwan and US-Taiwan military ties, and not to make repeated mistakes on the Taiwan Province issue. The China People’s Liberation Army pays close attention to the situation in the Taiwan Strait and will continue to take effective measures to firmly safeguard national sovereignty and security interests.

The myopia rate of teenagers in China is rising, and the myopia rate of college students is as high as 87.7%

　　Cctv newsTomorrow (6th) is the 23rd National Eye Love Day. The National Health and Wellness Commission held a special press conference yesterday (4th) morning to introduce the prevention and treatment of eye diseases among children and adolescents in China. In recent years, the myopia problem of children and adolescents in China has become increasingly serious and the trend of younger age is obvious, which has become a major social and public health problem.

　　It is understood that the data show that the myopia rate of primary school students in China is 45.7%, that of junior high school students is 74.4%, that of senior high school students is 83.3%, and that of college students is as high as 87.7%. The problem of myopia in children is more serious in economically developed areas, and the two stages of "small rise to the beginning" and "initial rise" are the key periods for the rapid increase of the incidence of ametropia. In addition to congenital factors, the high incidence of myopia is mainly caused by bad habits of daily use of eyes. For example, insufficient outdoor activities, premature and massive use of electronic products, etc. Since 2016, China has carried out monitoring of common diseases and health risk factors of students in some cities, focusing on strengthening the monitoring of students’ eyesight at different ages. This year, the scope of monitoring will be expanded and special investigations will be carried out to provide a basis for proposing effective intervention measures. The "Thirteenth Five-Year" National Eye Health Plan proposes to carry out screening and scientific correction of ametropia in children and adolescents, so as to reduce the visual damage caused by uncorrected ametropia. In addition, through decades of continuous efforts, trachoma and other major blinding eye diseases in China have been effectively curbed.

　　Guidelines for prevention and treatment of myopia, strabismus and amblyopia released

　　Yesterday (4th), National Health Commission issued the Guidelines for Prevention and Treatment of Myopia, Diagnosis and Treatment of Amblyopia and Diagnosis and Treatment of Strabismus to guide medical institutions and ophthalmologists to improve their service capabilities, and to guide students and parents to establish a correct awareness of using their eyes.

　　Experts pointed out that the most important factor causing myopia is the close load of the eyes. Work, reading and playing games are the main causes of myopia. In addition, a large number of recent scientific studies show that outdoor activities are effective measures to prevent and control myopia, and the time of outdoor activities is negatively correlated with the incidence and progress of myopia. The latest research results show that the use of low-concentration atropine eye drops can relieve myopia, which has been used in Singapore, Taiwan Province and other regions, and China is under review and will soon be listed in the mainland.

　　Wang Ningli, head of the national technical guidance group for preventing blindness.We advocate outdoor activities from preschool and kindergarten. Where conditions permit, it is best to encourage outdoor activities for two hours. If not, you can’t do it for less than one hour, and emphasize effective outdoor activities.

　　Amblyopia is a common eye disease among children in China, and the prevalence rate is about 3.5% between the ages of 6 and 14. The guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of amblyopia point out that the normal visual acuity of children aged 3 to 5 is 0.5, and that of children over 6 years old is 0.7. Children’s visual acuity can only reach 1.0 after 7 years old, and children under 7 years old can’t be required to take 1.0 visual acuity, otherwise amblyopia will tend to be overtreated. Strabismus is associated with amblyopia, and children with strabismus will also have amblyopia. If amblyopia is not well controlled by one eye, strabismus will also occur. Strabismus not only affects aesthetics, but also affects binocular visual function. The guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of amblyopia and strabismus clearly stipulate the specific diagnosis and treatment methods.

The most famous unfinished project in the Forbidden City turned into a big transformation, and the words of the president of the Forbidden City lit up!

CCTV News:On the occasion of the 600th anniversary of the Forbidden City next year, Yanxi Palace is planned to be transformed into a museum of foreign cultural relics, and hall of mental cultivation will also complete its research protection. Renovation began in 2015, and after five years, two palaces that have attracted much attention will meet the audience again next year.

The renovation plan of Yanxi Palace, which has attracted much attention in recent years, will be officially launched this year. It is expected that the Forbidden City will be transformed into a foreign cultural relics museum on the occasion of its 600th anniversary, and more than 10,000 foreign cultural relics will be displayed to the audience.

The Palace Museum has a rich collection of foreign cultural relics, including lacquerware, pottery, porcelain, glassware, enamel, metal, fabrics, paintings, books, sculptures, furniture, clocks and watches, scientific and technological instruments, etc., with various countries, including Britain, France, Germany, Switzerland, Russia, Italy, Austria, the United States, Bulgaria, Japan, North Korea and other countries. Its source is mainly the old collection of the Qing palace, and some of them are collected by the people or donated by individuals. Its era ranged from the 16th century to the early 20th century, and it was mostly in the 18th and 19th centuries.

According to the Forbidden City, the renovation plan of Yanxi Palace will be launched in the near future and transformed into a foreign cultural relics museum. Show the public the treasures of foreign cultural relics collected by more than 10,000 colleges.

Dan Jixiang, Dean of the Palace Museum:There will be a series of changes in the foreign cultural relics museum, which is a modern architectural form, so it is relatively large and has two floors. Therefore, those large clocks and watches return to the Imperial Palace in Ningshou Palace Garden, where they were originally placed, and large clocks and watches return there.

According to reports, Yanxi Palace is one of the six palaces in the Inner Palace. In the twenty-fifth year of Daoguang (1845), Yanxi Palace caught fire, leaving only the palace gate. In 1909, the first year of Xuantong, a 3-storey water hall was built in the original site of the palace, with stone and metal as the building and glass as the wall, so that you can watch fish near the water. Empress Long Yu inscribed "Lingnuman Xuan", commonly known as "Crystal Palace". In fact, this building was not completed at all and became the most famous unfinished project in the Forbidden City.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has issued a new national standard for DC charging of electric vehicles. Will the era of high-power DC charging come？

On September 13th, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced that recently, GB/T 20234.1-2023 "Connecting Devices for Conductive Charging of Electric Vehicles Part 1: General Requirements" and GB/T 20234.3-2023 "Connecting Devices for Conductive Charging of Electric Vehicles Part 3: DC Charging Interface" were proposed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and under the jurisdiction of the National Automobile Standardization Technical Committee.

The new standard follows the current technical scheme of DC charging interface in China and ensures the universal compatibility of new and old charging interfaces. At the same time, the maximum charging current is increased from 250 amps to 800 amps and the charging power is increased to 800 kilowatts. Relevant technical requirements such as active cooling and temperature monitoring are added, and test methods such as mechanical performance, locking device and service life are optimized and improved.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology pointed out that the charging standard is the basis for ensuring the interconnection between electric vehicles and charging facilities and safe and reliable charging. In recent years, with the increase of driving range of electric vehicles and the increase of charging rate of power batteries, consumers’ demand for rapid replenishment of electric energy for vehicles has become increasingly strong. New technologies, new formats and new demands, such as "high-power DC charging", are constantly emerging, and it has become a general consensus in the industry to speed up the revision and improvement of the relevant standards of the original charging interface.

According to the development of electric vehicle charging technology and the demand for quick charging, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology organized the National Automobile Standardization Technical Committee to complete two recommended revisions of national standards, which achieved a brand-new upgrade to the original 2015 version of the national standard scheme (commonly known as the "2015+" standard), which is conducive to further improving the environmental adaptability, safety and reliability of conductive charging connection devices, and at the same time meeting the actual needs of DC low-power and high-power charging.

In the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will organize relevant units to do a good job in the promotion and implementation of the two national standards, promote the popularization and application of technologies such as high-power DC charging, and create a good environment for the high-quality development of the new energy automobile industry and the charging facility industry. Slow charging has always been the core pain point of the electric vehicle industry.

According to a report of soochow securities, the average theoretical charging rate of the hot-selling models supporting fast charging in 2021 is about 1C(C stands for the charging rate of the battery system, in popular terms, 1C charging can fully charge the battery system in 60 minutes), that is, it takes about 30 minutes to achieve 30%-80% SOC and the battery life is about 219km(NEDC standard).

In practice, most pure electric vehicles need to be charged for 40-50 minutes and can travel about 150-200km to achieve SOC of 30%-80%. If the time to enter and leave the charging station (about 10 minutes) is added, the charging time of a pure electric vehicle takes about 1 hour and it can only travel on the expressway for about 1 hour.

The popularization and application of technologies such as high-power DC charging will require further upgrading of the charging network in the future. The Ministry of Science and Technology has previously introduced that China has built a network of charging facilities with the largest number of charging equipment and the largest coverage area. Most of the newly added public charging facilities are mainly DC fast charging equipment with a capacity of more than 120kW, and 7kW AC slow charging piles in the private sector have become standard. The application of DC fast charging method has basically been popularized in the field of special vehicles, and public charging facilities have the real-time monitoring capability of cloud platform networking. APP pile finding and online payment have been widely used, and new technologies such as high-power charging, low-power DC charging, automatic charging connection and orderly charging are gradually being industrialized.

In the future, the Ministry of Science and Technology will focus on the key technologies and equipment of efficient collaborative charging and replacement, such as the key technologies of vehicle-pile-cloud interconnection, the planning method of charging facilities and orderly charging management technology, the key technologies of high-power wireless charging, and the key technologies of rapid replacement of power batteries.

On the other hand, high-power DC charging puts forward higher requirements for the performance of power battery, the key component of electric vehicles.

According to soochow securities’s analysis, firstly, the principle of increasing the charge rate of the battery is contrary to that of increasing the energy density, because high rate requires smaller particles of anode and cathode materials and high energy density requires larger particles of anode and cathode materials.

Secondly, high-rate charging in high-power state will bring more serious side effects of lithium evolution and heat generation to the battery, which will reduce the safety of the battery.

Among them, the negative electrode material of the battery is the main limiting factor for fast charging. This is because the cathode graphite is made of graphene sheet, and lithium ions enter the sheet through the edge, so the cathode quickly reaches the limit of its ability to absorb ions in the process of rapid charging, and lithium ions begin to form solid lithium on the top of graphite particles, that is, a side reaction of lithium precipitation occurs. Lithium precipitation will reduce the effective area of the negative electrode for lithium ions to be embedded. On the one hand, it will reduce the battery capacity, increase the internal resistance and shorten the life. On the other hand, the interface crystal will grow, puncture the separator and affect the safety.

Professor Wu Ningning of Rongshengmeng Guli New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and others have previously written that in order to improve the fast charging ability of power batteries, it is necessary to improve the migration speed of lithium ions in battery cathode materials, accelerate the embedding speed of lithium ions in cathode materials, improve the ionic conductivity of electrolyte, select fast charging separators, improve the ionic and electronic conductivity of electrodes and select appropriate charging strategies.

However, what consumers can expect is that since last year, domestic battery companies have begun to exert their efforts and layout on fast charging pools. In August this year, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, the leading company, released the 4C Shenxing rechargeable battery based on the positive Ferrous lithium phosphate system (4C means that the battery can be fully charged in a quarter of an hour), which can realize the ultra-fast charging speed of "charging for 10 minutes and cruising for 400 kilometers". At room temperature, the battery can be charged to 80%SOC in 10 minutes. At the same time, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited adopts the battery core temperature control technology on the system platform, which can quickly heat to the optimal working temperature range in low temperature environment, even in the low temperature environment of -10℃, it can be charged to 80% in 30 minutes, and it will accelerate at zero speed without attenuation in the low temperature power loss state.

According to Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, Shenxing rechargeable battery will be mass-produced this year, and it will be the first to be used in Aouita models.

　

And the 4C Kirin fast-charging battery based on ternary lithium cathode material in Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, after landing the ideal pure electric vehicle first this year, recently landed the Krypton luxury hunting super-run 001FR.

In addition to Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, among other domestic battery companies, Chuangxin Airlines has laid out two routes in the field of 800V high-voltage fast charging: square battery supports 4C fast charging, and large cylindrical battery supports 6C fast charging. In terms of square battery scheme, Zhongchuang Singapore Airlines provided Tucki G9 with a new generation of fast-charging lithium iron battery and medium-nickel high-voltage ternary battery based on 800V high-voltage platform, realizing SOC from 10% to 80% in 20 minutes.

Honeycomb Energy released the dragon scale battery in 2022. The battery is compatible with all chemical systems such as lithium iron, ternary and cobalt-free, covering the 1.6C-6C fast charging system, and can be mounted on A00-D series vehicles. The designated vehicles are expected to be mass-produced in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Yiwei Lithium Energy released the π system of large cylindrical battery in 2023. The "π" cooling technology of the battery can solve the problem of fast charging and heating of the battery, and its 46 series large cylindrical battery is expected to be delivered in mass production in the third quarter of 2023.

In August this year, Xinwangda Company also told investors that the "flash charging" battery launched by the company for the BEV market can be adapted to 800V high voltage and 400V normal pressure systems. Super fast charging 4C battery products have been mass-produced in the first quarter. The development of 4C-6C "flash charging" battery is progressing smoothly, and the whole scene can last 400 kilometers in 10 minutes.
