Tesla’s Dream： How will Musk make it come true？

Original title: My dream: How does Musk make it come true?

[

When Tesla finally achieved the "small goal" of producing 5,000 Model 3s per week, the outside world questioned whether this "explosive growth" could be sustained;

When Tesla signed an investment agreement to build a factory in Shanghai Lingang, it was controversial. "What should Tesla take to build a factory?" "Building a factory in China means localization, and the car must be cheap?"

When Tesla issued a "small goal" to achieve profitability in the third quarter, it was reported that some orders for Model 3 were cancelled. Musk responded: Where did the rumor come from?

Recently, Tesla has been busy clarifying the storm of "requesting suppliers to refund", and responded that "it is only to lower the price of unfinished projects to improve cash flow."

Tesla’s controversy has never stopped, and difficulties have been overcome one after another. With the attention of peers and fans all over the world, Tesla is developing with twists and turns. Musk said: "Being a business is like eating glass and staring at the abyss of death, if it looks attractive." This sentence is humorous, starting a business is not so easy, the dream is full, and the reality is always very skinny.

No matter how many arguments are sung against Tesla and how many voices are questioned, "Iron Man" Musk will always be confident. Throughout his life experience, from rocket to Mars, he has always been a crazy dreamer. When we are all in doubt, Musk has been telling us with actions: Dreams are to be realized!

Daimler saves Tesla.

In 2003, Tesla was founded in the United States. Five years later, Tesla released the first automobile product Roadster, which is a two-door sports car. It was not until 2012 that Tesla released its second car product-Model S, a four-door pure electric luxury coupe. The third car product is Model X, a luxury pure electric SUV, which was delivered in September 2015. Tesla’s affordable car Model 3 was first released in March 2016 or delivered in the first half of 2019.

Years of R&D and investment, and a lot of money burning, made Tesla face bankruptcy crisis many times in the development process, which can be described as a narrow escape.

In 2009, Tesla received a US$ 5 billion investment from Daimler. This is undoubtedly a breathing space for Tesla, which has difficulties in capital turnover. Why should Daimler contribute to Tesla as a venture capital company? When asked about the reason, Herbert Kohler of Daimler said: "Tesla has created a new era, and it has the power to let us participate in the electric vehicle industry." Roadster not only runs faster than, but also accelerates the development of electric vehicle industry.

The production of Roadster is not mass-produced by big machines, but "hand-made". Roadster’s control panel was sent to the British factory by the French manufacturer, and then sent to the United States after the control panel was installed on the car body. Roadster’s transmission is produced by Borgwarner, and its braking system and inner tube are produced by Siemens of Germany. In a word, Tesla concentrates the parts and semi-finished products produced by all countries in the world in California, where the power devices such as batteries and electric motors are assembled by hand, and finally the whole car is produced.

Tesla also received support from the US government. In June 2009, the energy department of the United States officially decided to provide Tesla with a low-interest loan of $465 million. Originally, since the Bush administration, in order to promote the development of electric vehicles and hybrid fuel vehicles, the US government has provided low-interest loans to such companies in China.

After Obama took office, such projects increased further, and the ATVM (Advanced Automobile Manufacturing Technology) project of the US Department of Energy invested $8 billion in automobile manufacturing. When it was first implemented in June 2009, the company accepted financing of 5.9 billion US dollars, and the car accepted 1.4 billion US dollars. Tesla was also listed in the list of support.

After that, the automobile company and Matsushita Electric, which have a high market share in the lithium battery industry, contributed 50 million dollars and 30 million dollars to Tesla respectively, and Tesla finally passed the darkest year.

What gives them greater support is the financial assistance of the US government on ATVM. They gave Tesla not only a huge sum of money, but also a strong long-term support, and the market’s expectations for Tesla unexpectedly rose.

On May 21st, 2010, accompanied by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Governor of California, Musk and Akio Toyoda announced their business cooperation on electric vehicles. This moment has turned a new page for both companies. Tesla received a grant of $500,000 from Toyota.

Since Tesla released the affordable and popular Model 3 in 2016, the optimism about Tesla’s transformation into a mass-market electric vehicle manufacturer has boosted the company’s market value, and surpassed Ford and General Motors for the first time last year, becoming the second car manufacturer in the world. Since the beginning of this year, due to the bottleneck of Model 3′ s capacity climbing, Tesla’s share price has fluctuated like a roller coaster, but it still rose by 10% compared with the end of last year, and the company’s total market value reached 58.2 billion US dollars.

Tesla’s "Small Target"

Tesla has a great dream to promote the transformation of the world to sustainable energy. By popularizing solar power generation and electric vehicles, we can get rid of dependence on petroleum energy, effectively cope with climate change and realize the sustainable development of energy.

Tesla’s dream is very big. In order to realize the big dream, many small goals have been set, some of which have been achieved and some are on the way to realization. Make a list for your reference.

1. Produce 5,000 Model 3 vehicles per week (the small goal has been achieved), and make a profit in Q3 (on the way to realization).

2.Model Y is tentatively scheduled to be released in March or Q2 next year, and the mass production time of Model Y (Semi Truck semi-trailer and new Roadster) will be two years later.

3. Continue to build new super charging stations around the world. At present, the number of charging piles in the world has reached 9,969. Most of the design work of the third generation super-filled pile with output power of 200 kW-250 kW has been completed and will be launched at the end of this year. The third-generation charging station will be highly integrated with solar panels and no longer need to be connected to the power grid. Musk said that this will "promote major changes in the charging infrastructure" and greatly accelerate the expansion of the charging network.

4. In the future, Tesla will launch the Space X optional package for it, and the performance parameters currently announced are the specifications of Roadster Basic Edition. Through the new Roadster, it is proved to the public that electric vehicles can surpass internal combustion engine sports cars in all aspects and completely smash the powerful aura established by internal combustion engine sports cars in the hearts of the general public.

Next year’s battery production capacity will increase substantially, exceeding the sum of other battery factories in the world. Tesla battery has both the highest energy density and the lowest cost. At present, some breakthroughs have been made in battery density and cost. If there is no significant fluctuation in material cost, the cost of Tesla batteries will be less than $100 /kWh by the end of this year. At the same time, the cost of battery Pack will be reduced to $100 /kWh in the next two years.

With the current technical reserve, Tesla has mastered the technical scheme of improving the battery performance by 30%-40% again, and it is expected that it can be improved by 30% in the next 2-3 years, and the energy density will be doubled by improving the lithium anode in the next 6-8 years.

6. Build a factory in China. (An investment agreement has been signed)

……

Tesla is still carrying out the layout of the whole industrial chain, subverting the traditional automobile marketing model and profit model, and building a complete and closed ecology, including R&D, battery factory, direct store, super charging station, Network, etc. After the sale, it is the beginning of service, providing car owners with networking/cloud services, software upgrades, super charging station, Powerwall, big data, etc., and it is expected to realize the value of the whole life cycle in the future.

Whether Tesla’s dreams can be realized one by one will take time to verify.

Tesla doesn’t advertise.

Building a car is an industry with a long industrial chain and high technology and capital intensity. Tesla has been listed for 8 years, but it has not yet achieved annual profit. The debt crisis and production capacity cannot keep up, which has always been a problem facing Tesla. This will also be a problem that the new domestic car-making forces will face.

Compared with the new domestic car-making forces, Tesla has more than ten years of technical accumulation and exploration experience, which has not only been widely recognized by the market, but also made outstanding achievements in technology research and development. Therefore, the new domestic car-making forces often use Tesla as a benchmark to compare products and learn from their development ideas.

Tesla redefines automobile products, not only electric vehicles, but also intelligent, internet-based and technological products. Early domestic electric vehicle products, for the purpose of getting subsidies to reduce the terminal price, were only electrified in power, mostly electrified on traditional platforms, with a low level of intelligence, and mostly adopted some scientific and technological configurations. Tesla’s electrification is only the foundation. It continuously enhances the customer experience through Internet technology configuration and automated driving, and at the same time drives the application of intelligence and IOT in the automotive field, so it is full of science and technology.

Compared with the power loss of traditional fuel vehicles, electric vehicles are born with the advantage of large torque. The characteristics of speed-up and lightness are vividly displayed in Tesla. Tesla’s sense of speed is also a big advantage.

In addition, Tesla also has a certain sense of value. The price of Tesla is much higher than that of ordinary electric vehicles, and consumers with certain spending power can afford it. And Tesla as a scooter must have a fixed charging pile, so the owner who buys Tesla must have a fixed parking space. These are the necessary car maintenance costs for Tesla, and these costs are not affordable for ordinary consumers. So owning Tesla is also a status symbol.

Musk, the founder of Tesla, said: "Tesla, we don’t have any advertisements or celebrity endorsement fees. No, we don’t discount. If a celebrity comes to buy our car because they like it, it’s not that we give them a discount. Actually, I don’t like the concept of marketing. I think marketing is a very strange concept. I don’t like it. I think marketing seems to be about deceiving people to buy things. "

Tesla, which does not advertise, has attracted consumers all over the world. The sense of technology, speed and value has become the main driving force for consumers, and these are also places that other new car-making forces do not have or are difficult to surpass.

Someone joked that Tesla lost one car when he sold it. In fact, Tesla’s bicycle gross profit is still very high.

This misunderstanding may come from the wrong calculation method and the conclusion that the loss of each quarter is divided by the sales volume. Although there is nothing wrong with this calculation, it ignores some other investment factors, and does not take into account that Tesla has spent huge sums of money to build huge factories, expand sales stores and improve services and charging networks before Model 3 is on the road.

The rapid growth of the company’s losses is inevitable. No investors want to pay dividends when the company is still small. They want to maintain a tolerable loss and use all their funds to expand the scale.

So what is the profit of Tesla bicycles? Through Tesla’s quarterly report, you can find some data for reference. When the output of Model 3 is small, in other words, only Model S and Model X are calculated, the Non-GAPP gross profit of Tesla’s vehicle department is 25%, and the GAAP gross profit is 27.9%. When Model 3 started to load and it was well known that it was in trouble, Tesla’s gross profit dropped to 13.8% for non-GAAP and 18.3% for GAAP, and then rose to 18.8% for non-GAAP and 19.7% for GAAP.

Now, Tesla’s profits are mainly affected by two expenses, research and development and sales/management expenses. When the output comes up, the first cost will hardly increase. The second cost will increase with the increase of output to some extent, but it is not completely linear. The more impact on profits comes from the need to pay a large part of these expenses before the output comes up.

In short, in the next few years, these expenses will be covered by the gross profit of the automobile business, not to mention the photovoltaic and energy storage product lines that Tesla will start to increase in the second half of this year.

According to the latest financial report, Tesla’s global revenue growth in 2017 reached nearly 12 billion US dollars, with a growth rate of over 67%. Among them, the performance of China market is particularly outstanding, with a year-on-year increase of over 90% compared with 2016, making it the fastest growing market of Tesla in the world.

Some Tesla sales staff said in an interview that the awareness of new energy vehicles in China is constantly improving, and more and more car owners tend to choose models with strong sense of technology to show their attitude towards life. Tesla, with its high brand value and other advantages, is particularly strong in market acceptance and consumer support.

This is probably why Musk came to China as soon as he finished his "productivity hell". It turns out that China may be the place where Musk realized Tesla’s dream!

Running a Chinese medicine clinic, the ＂door＂ is wide

Approval becomes filing, and only two steps are needed: application and certification.
Running a Chinese medicine clinic, the "door" is wide

This year "Government work reportPut forward "supporting the inheritance and development of Chinese medicine". According to the provisions of the Chinese Medicine Law, the opening of Chinese medicine clinics has been changed from licensing to filing, and folk Chinese medicine practitioners can obtain certificates after examination, which is a major benefit for the Chinese medicine community. With the promulgation of supporting laws and regulations, such as the Interim Measures for the Administration of Filing in Chinese Medicine Clinics and the Interim Measures for the Administration of the Examination and Registration of Physicians with Expertise in Chinese Medicine, the development of Chinese medicine has ushered in a new spring. Starting from today, we will launch a special report on "How to implement a good policy of Chinese medicine", hoping to attract more people’s attention.

-editor

Run the permit at most once.

Simplify the procedures, reduce the links and time limit, and provide convenience for the applicant.

"I didn’t expect to get the certificate so soon!" Recently, Jiang Fuguo, Jianggan District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, obtained the first Chinese medicine clinic registration certificate issued by the District Health and Welfare Bureau.

Jiang Fuguo was originally the legal representative of a chain pharmacy in Hangzhou, with more than 20 years’ experience in drug management. He found it difficult for pharmacies to meet the needs of ordinary people, so he wanted to open a Chinese medicine clinic. However, to apply for a medical institution’s practice license, it needs to go through seven steps, such as application, publicity, establishment approval, environmental protection, fire protection, acceptance and certification. The process is complex, time-consuming and the threshold is high, which is prohibitive.

On December 1, last year, the Interim Measures for the Record Management of Chinese Medicine Clinics was formally implemented. Jiang Fuguo went to learn about the materials and procedures that need to be submitted for filing in Chinese medicine clinics. After he handed in all the materials at one time, he filled in the "Information Form for the Record of Chinese Medicine Clinic", and the environmental protection and fire protection met the requirements. The personnel had the qualification certificate of Chinese medicine doctors and worked for 3 years, and the materials were complete and met the record requirements. The window accepted it on the spot and passed the record review. On the same day, he received the record certificate of Chinese medicine clinic, and he could carry out his practice activities. Jiang Fuguo said that the Chinese medicine clinic has changed from the examination and approval system to the filing system. Now, it only needs two links: application and certification, and the certificate can be run at most once. In the past, it took three months or even six months to get a certificate.

"In the past, there were strict regulations for opening a clinic, and the venue must be fixed for a long time. If it is not the property owned by the applicant, it needs to have a lease agreement for more than 5 years. Regardless of whether or not the clinic can be opened, you must first invest in renting the venue. It takes more than half a year to review the location and venue of the clinic alone. If the approval of the clinic is delayed for one more day, the rent will be paid for one more day, and a lot of money will be spent on Shui Piao. The filing system makes Chinese medicine clinics no longer spend money. " Jia Haizhong, chairman of Beijing Cifang Hospital Management Company, said.

Chinese medicine sits in the classroom, listening and asking questions, unlike western medicine, which needs to be equipped with corresponding instruments and equipment. The Law of Traditional Chinese Medicine has reformed and improved the management system stipulated in the Regulations on the Management of Medical Institutions, which is conducive to Chinese medicine practitioners to open distinctive Chinese medicine clinics according to their own expertise and advantages, to stimulate the enthusiasm of social forces to run medical services, and to enrich and improve the medical service system.

"The change from examination and approval to filing simplifies the procedures, reduces the work links, compresses the time limit and provides convenience for applicants." Zhang Jianfeng, deputy director of Henan Provincial Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that filing management is a special legal arrangement for clinics that only provide traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment services, which is obviously different from examination and approval management.

Jia Haizhong believes that in the past, the most irritating thing about setting up a Chinese medicine clinic was not the complicated process, but that all other conditions met the requirements, but it was eventually rejected because of the high density of surrounding medical institutions. In fact, people look for people with real medical skills when they see Chinese medicine. Even if Chinese medicine clinics are one by one, it will not affect the choice of ordinary people.

Yu Haiyang, director of the Policy and Regulation Department of state administration of traditional chinese medicine, said that the original examination and approval of Chinese medicine clinics was mainly pre-examination, which examined whether it met the conditions of local regional health planning and medical institution setting planning. The Interim Measures for the Record Management of Chinese Medicine Clinics does not restrict the layout of Chinese medicine clinics and Chinese medicine clinics that only provide traditional Chinese medicine services, and cancels the specific number and location restrictions. According to incomplete statistics, as of January this year, 21 provinces across the country have registered 129 Chinese medicine clinics.

Chen Luojia, president of China Folk Chinese Medicine Research and Development Association, believes that the filing system of Chinese medicine clinics can effectively solve the problem of "seeking medical treatment nearby" for people at the grassroots level or in areas lacking medical resources, and better meet the multi-level and diversified Chinese medicine needs of the masses.

Full liberalization is a misunderstanding

The implementation of filing management in Chinese medicine clinics is not to lower the threshold for opening. For services with uncontrollable medical safety hazards and risks, Chinese medicine clinics may not carry out them.

Zhao Xiaohui, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner in Hongqi District, Xinxiang City, Henan Province, is a clinician specializing in traditional Chinese medicine. She has been employed by a medical institution for more than 4 years, focusing on traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment. She has always had a wish to open a clinic.

After the implementation of the Interim Measures for the Administration of the Filing of Chinese Medicine Clinics, Zhao Xiaohui passed the filing examination and got her own Chinese medicine clinic filing certificate, and became the organizer of a Chinese medicine clinic. She received the first "Chinese medicine clinic registration certificate" in Henan Province.

Zhao Xiaohui didn’t know that she could get the registration certificate of Chinese medicine clinic, which originated from the adjustment of the qualification period of Chinese medicine practitioners. The former National Health Planning Commission and state administration of traditional chinese medicine have adjusted the practice period from five years to three years in the pilot projects to encourage the society to run Chinese medicine in 40 cities and Gansu Province.

The filing system relaxes the market access threshold, which is beneficial for professionals to jump out of the system and also gives a "green light" for folk Chinese medicine practice. The Interim Measures for the Administration of Registration of Qualification Examination of Physicians with Expertise in Chinese Medicine stipulates that those who have obtained the Practitioner’s Certificate of Chinese Medicine (Expertise) can engage in Chinese medicine medical activities in the form of personal practice or in medical institutions within the registered scope of practice. By then, a large number of folk Chinese medicine practitioners will be able to obtain the Qualification Certificate of Chinese Medicine (Specialty), thus having the qualification to practice medicine and run clinics.

The person in charge of state administration of traditional chinese medicine said that the implementation of filing management in Chinese medicine clinics does not mean full liberalization. According to the principle of "no entry is forbidden", all fields that are not explicitly forbidden by laws and regulations should be open to social forces. At present, the Chinese medicine clinics that have been put on record refer to clinics in pharmacy service that use Chinese medicine and non-drug therapies such as acupuncture, cupping and massage, as well as Chinese medicine dispensing, decoction and other Chinese medicines.

The person in charge pointed out that Chinese medicine clinics should not provide western medicine services, nor should they provide services with uncontrollable medical safety hazards and risks, such as minimally invasive techniques of Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine injection and acupoint injection.

"The implementation of filing system management in Chinese medicine clinics is not to lower the threshold for opening." Yu Haiyang said that state administration of traditional chinese medicine formulated the Interim Measures for the Administration of the Filing of Chinese Medicine Clinics, the Basic Standards of Chinese Medicine Clinics and the Basic Standards of Chinese Medicine (Comprehensive) Clinics, standardized the filing of Chinese medicine clinics from the institutional level, and clarified the conditions, procedures and standards needed for the filing of Chinese medicine clinics. The establishment of the filing system of Chinese medicine clinics not only has a practical basis in advance, but also has social needs. The state has improved the filing system of clinics to ensure the development of Chinese medicine, especially Chinese medicine clinics, to be more standardized and healthy.

Post-event supervision needs to be strengthened.

Filing management is a kind of management means, the essence of which is to simplify prior management and improve work efficiency, rather than to relax supervision.

According to the white paper "Traditional Chinese Medicine in China", by the end of 2015, there were 452,000 practicing (assistant) doctors in traditional Chinese medicine (including ethnic doctors and doctors of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine). There are 42,528 outpatient departments and clinics of traditional Chinese medicine, including 550 outpatient departments and clinics of ethnic medicine and 7,706 outpatient departments and clinics of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine.

The current basic standards of Chinese medicine clinics stipulate that the treatment rate of Chinese medicine is not less than 85%, and a considerable number of Chinese medicine clinics provide both Chinese and western medicine services. Many people ask, Chinese medicine clinics used to implement the licensing system, but now they implement the filing system. One is to provide Chinese and western medicine services, and the other is to provide pure Chinese medicine services. How can the two systems be effectively connected?

Yu Haiyang introduced that the Interim Measures for the Record Management of Chinese Medicine Clinics stipulates that Chinese medicine clinics can only provide Chinese medicine services, and two types of Chinese medicine clinics with different standards implement independent selection of classified management. First, Chinese medicine clinics that have been set up before the implementation of the Measures to provide both Chinese and Western medicine services can choose their own management methods according to their own actual conditions after the promulgation and implementation of the Measures. Only the traditional Chinese medicine services provided in these Measures can be managed according to the requirements of the Regulations on the Administration of Medical Institutions before the expiration of the practice license of medical institutions, or they can be managed according to the filing requirements. After the original practice license of medical institutions is cancelled, they can be filed according to the provisions of the Measures. Second, Chinese medicine clinics whose services do not meet the service scope stipulated in the Measures or have uncontrollable medical safety hazards and risks are still subject to examination and approval management in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations on the Administration of Medical Institutions. The Chinese medicine clinics subject to examination and approval management are renamed as Chinese medicine (comprehensive) clinics, and their settings should conform to the Basic Standards for Chinese Medicine (comprehensive) clinics issued by the former State Health Planning Commission and state administration of traditional chinese medicine.

Chinese medicine clinics have changed from examination and approval to filing, and the first problem is how to strengthen post-event supervision. According to the "Measures", the competent department of traditional Chinese medicine needs to conduct on-site examination and conduct on-site inspections on the registered Chinese medicine clinics within 30 days from the date of filing. In view of the unreasonable charges, false propaganda, unauthorized practice and out-of-scope operation of Chinese medicine clinics, it is required to stop practicing activities, withdraw the Registration Certificate of Chinese Medicine Clinics and impose fines. In addition, Chinese medicine clinics are not allowed to sell, transfer or lease registration certificates.

"From the document requirements, it is to cut off the administrative licensing link; As far as the clinic is concerned, there is no relaxation of requirements. The core issue in the future is to strengthen supervision, especially to avoid medical accidents. " Lin Ruichao, dean of the School of Chinese Medicine, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, said.

"Filing management is a management tool, the essence of which is to simplify prior management and improve work efficiency, rather than to relax supervision." Zhang Jianfeng said that at present, the number of Chinese medicine clinics registered for practice is still relatively small, and the pressure on county-level health (Chinese medicine) administrative departments that directly manage the registration of clinics is not obvious. With the continuous increase in the number of registered Chinese medicine clinics and the increasingly frequent practice activities, it will be an important task for county-level health (Chinese medicine) administrative departments to change the supervision mode and improve the supervision ability. The contradiction between insufficient supervision personnel, insufficient supervision ability and heavy supervision tasks will also emerge, which needs to be solved by expanding the supervision team, increasing supervision power and changing supervision methods.

Shen Lin, deputy director of the Health Planning Commission of Hongqi District, Xinxiang City, introduced that the district health supervision and Chinese medicine management departments conducted on-site approval, supervision and inspection in a timely manner to ensure the standardization of clinics, ensure the health rights and interests of the people, and ensure that Chinese medicine clinics are filed quickly and well managed, with more thorough decentralization, more effective supervision and better service to create a good environment for the convenience and benefit of the people.

Chen Luojia believes that after the filing system is implemented in Chinese medicine clinics, government departments need to improve medical quality control and strengthen the three-dimensional supervision system to ensure medical quality and treatment safety. (Reporter Wang Junping)

Central Meteorological Observatory： The cold wave will affect the continuous temperature drop greatly today and tomorrow.

　　CCTV News:The Central Meteorological Observatory issued daily weather warnings. At present, the three warnings of cold wave blue, dust blue and strong wind yellow at sea have been issued at the same time, which shows that the cold wave is strong. Meteorological monitoring shows that yesterday, gusts of 6 ~ 8 occurred in eastern Xinjiang and southern Xinjiang basin, parts of Inner Mongolia, northwestern Shanxi, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, north-central Shandong, northern Henan and other places, and 9 ~ 11 in eastern Inner Mongolia and northwestern Shandong; Sand blowing or floating dust weather occurred in some of the above areas, and sandstorms occurred in Hohhot and Xilin Gol League in Inner Mongolia. This morning, some areas in Inner Mongolia, northern Hebei, northern Shandong and other places experienced a temperature drop of 6 ~ 10 C, and the local drop in central and eastern Inner Mongolia reached 12 ~ 20 C.

　　Today and tomorrow, the impact of the cold wave will continue. The temperature in most parts of the central and eastern regions will drop by 6 ~ 10℃ successively, and the temperature in North China, Huanghuai, Jianghuai and other places will drop by 12℃, partially exceeding 16℃. There are 4 ~ 6 winds and gusts of 7 ~ 9 in these areas, and there are dusty weather in northwest, north China and northeast China.

Please pay close attention to the weather forecast and early warning information released by the local meteorological department, and pay attention to prevent the adverse effects of slippery roads and icing caused by rain and snow on traffic.

Nine ways to unlock Valentine’s Day when ＂Tonight in the Romantic Theater＂ is released.


1905 movie network news The Japanese fantasy love movie, which was created by director Hideki Takeuchi for 9 years and starring the national goddess Ayase Haruka and the healing male god Sakaguchi Kentaro, will be released sweetly on Valentine’s Day on February 14th, 2019. The film tells the story of pure love between Kenji (Sakaguchi Kentaro), a simple young man who dreams of becoming a director, and Princess Mixue (Ayase Haruka), who appeared in front of Kenji from a black-and-white movie.

　 　 　　

Aspect 1: Hideki Takeuchi and Yushan Jiayou join hands to create an ideal fantasy love for the audience.

The film "Tonight in the Romantic Theater" is directed by Hideki Takeuchi, who has directed and other works; As a screenwriter for hot movies, Yushan Jiayou, who has published novels such as My Cherry Blossom Lover, is a screenwriter. Two talented people joined forces to create a 100% original fantasy love story, which made the film wait for people before it was released. Director Hideki Takeuchi is full of confidence in the film: "A film combines two styles, the first half of the film is comedy, the second half is emotional drama, and there will be unexpected plots in the middle. I believe that the end of the film will make the audience move out of the theater." Fans sighed with emotion: "The film is touching and sweet at the same time. There are no misunderstandings and intrigues. Everyone is optimistic and not jealous. It is the ideal love story."

The film is set in 1960, which is an era when movies are gradually "replaced" by TV. Color TV entered the stage of Japanese history in 1958, and 1960 was a transition period when movie audiences began to decrease sharply. The film keeps nostalgia for the art of film, and tries to evoke these classic films that have been gradually forgotten from people’s memories with the changes of the times through fantasy and romantic plots. It took Hideki Takeuchi nine years to carefully create every detail of this pure love film. The high-saturation Showa wind picture with 25 sets of retro Chinese clothes in Ayase Haruka’s film not only highly restored the showa era, but also showed the creative quality in the details. From Sakura Fubuki at the beginning, to the dense firefly with bare heart, and then to the rush of heavy snow at the climax, all show full sincerity, and the collision between Showa breath and European court also gives people rich and romantic visual enjoyment.

　

Aspect 6: Pay tribute to many romantic classic films and arouse the collective emotional resonance of fans.

Kenji, who was deeply attracted by the film and determined to become a film director, paid tribute to Italian films for his relationship with the cinema owner. The fantasy setting that connects the movie world with the real world comes from "cold-faced comedians" buster keaton and Woody Allen. The plot of the princess falling in love with the youth with different identities and Ayase Haruka’s retro style in the film pay tribute to Audrey Hepburn. The prototype of the black-and-white film "Princess Barbarian and the Three Beasts" starring Princess Michelle was born out of the series. The charm of this film lies in that it is not simply a tribute to the classics, but a beautiful dream for the viewers. It makes every detail to the extreme, and the story can be said to be impeccable.

　

Aspect 7: Japanese champion album singer sweetly sings the theme song to create the best audio-visual Valentine’s Day file.

The theme song of the film "Miracle" is sweetly sung by Che’Nelle, who has a "touching voice of falling in love". Her debut album "Things Happen For A Reason" won the glory of the first album in the public trust list in Europe and America in Japan, and at the same time swept through Japanese digital music, and the number of downloads in Japan was 1.9 million. Che’Nelle also sang the theme song "believe", the fourth theatrical version of Japan’s super-popular film series. She said: "Miracles will only happen to those who believe. To believe in yourself is to believe in miracles." A lyric in the song "Miracle" sings "I want to believe in the miracle of hard-won meeting", which perfectly blends the love story of Kenji and Mixue with the penetrating and moving voice of Che’Nelle, making it an excellent enjoyment to watch movies.

　

Aspect 8: Strong win of Japanese local box office champion "zero bad reviews" at the Beijing International Film Festival screening of Shanghai Film Festival.

"Tonight in the Romantic Theater" won the weekend box office championship in the first weekend of its release in Japan (information from the website of Xingxing Communication Agency), and broke through the box office of 1 billion yen in seven weeks after its release (information from the website of Variety), with a high reputation and the highest satisfaction and emotion. As the only Japanese film to participate in both the Shanghai International Film Festival and the Beijing International Film Festival in 2018, the film won numerous praises during the screening. Many viewers said that the content is very good, which can make people fascinated, and the shapes of the characters in the film are pleasing to the eye. The director covers everything, restores the scenes and costumes to the greatest extent, and highlights the charm of the characters. It is definitely a high-quality masterpiece.

　

Aspect 9: realistic dream double ending setting gives girls the most beautiful dream of Valentine’s Day in 2019.

The film has always been praised as a good love film. At the end of the film, Ruth dreamed of returning to Titanic and fulfilled an affair with Jack, which moved many people. In the movie "Tonight in the Romantic Theater", a young boy with a movie dream can talk with the princess who has been in love for a long time in black and white movies about love for the rest of his life, which is what many people dream of. The ending of Miyuki and Kenji is not only a tribute to Titanic, but also a beautiful expectation for love. Kenji turned the princess’s world into color, and the princess turned Kenji’s dream into reality. This is not only a love fairy tale, but also a dream in the hearts of girls. The setting of the double ending made the audience burst into tears and sighed: "This is really the most romantic and best ending."

　

The fantasy love movie "Tonight in the Romantic Theater" has landed in the national cinema today.


Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference Conference Press Conference Held Focusing on 18 Hot Issues

　　At 3 pm yesterday, the first press conference of the Fifth Session of the 12th Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference was held in the press conference hall of the Great Hall of the People. At the 90-minute press conference, Wang Guoqing, the press spokesman of the conference, answered 18 questions raised by Chinese and foreign journalists, covering the economy, the 13th Five-Year Plan and the reform of the camp.

　　On the 13th Five-Year Plan

　　More than 1,400 members participated in the survey.

　　Wang Guoqing introduced that last year, Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference made suggestions and suggestions for the implementation of the 13th Five-Year Plan as the main line of work, and closely followed the key points and difficulties to carry out research and discussion activities. In last year, Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference organized 91 inspection and investigation activities, and 1,408 members participated in these investigation activities, and held 2 special discussion meetings, 3 special consultation meetings and 16 biweekly consultation forums. Members submitted a total of 5,769 proposals and received 8,678 pieces of social conditions and public opinion information. In particular, research and discussion were carried out on topics such as improving the effectiveness of poverty alleviation, promoting industrial transformation and upgrading in the three northeastern provinces, and deepening the reform of the medical and health system.

　　He revealed that the CPPCC’s research in Northeast China is very solid, and the research in many enterprises takes more than one and a half days. "Our work and life are very fast now. I have also participated in some surveys organized by the Foreign Affairs Committee. Not many people can stay in a city for a day and a half. They can stay in a company for a day and a half, so I think this survey is really hard." He said that the economic structure of the three northeastern provinces is now being adjusted, and signs that the economic operation is stabilizing and improving have begun to appear. "The status of the Northeast is irreplaceable and the future of the Northeast is limitless."

　　Talk about economy

　　Responded to China’s economic "pessimism" with transcripts

　　In 2017, China’s economic growth rate was 6.7%, the lowest in 26 years. Regarding the economic situation next year, Wang Guoqing said that China’s GDP exceeded 70 trillion yuan last year, up 6.7% over the previous year, and its growth rate returned to the top of the world’s major economies. It has achieved a good start in the 13th Five-Year Plan and responded to China’s economic pessimism with a real report card.

　　Wang Guoqing said that as the second largest economy in the world, the contribution rate of China’s economy to world economic growth has reached 33.2% in 2016. The steady growth of China’s economy has brought greater market demand to the world economy, driven more investment, provided more abundant products and created more precious opportunities for cooperation. He said that at present, China’s economy is generally stable and stable, but it still needs to be step by step and steady. China’s economy still has strong power and enduring endurance. As long as we persist in striving for progress steadily and calmly respond to various risk challenges, China’s economy will remain the strongest "engine" of the world economy this year.

　　On "Reform of the camp"

　　Last year, after the "reform of the camp", it lost 500 billion yuan.

　　Regarding the problem that enterprises do not feel obvious after the "VAT reform", Wang Guoqing said that China’s tax structure, which is dominated by indirect taxes, makes enterprises feel particularly acute about taxes and fees. There are still some unreasonable charges passed on to enterprises, and the actual burden felt by enterprises is heavy. Last year, it was a real fact that the tax was reduced by 500 billion yuan, which was taken out with real money, or collected less.

　　But specific to each enterprise, the sense of gain will definitely be different, because the special deduction mechanism of value-added tax has higher requirements for taxpayers’ accounting and tax management. In addition, influenced by investment cycle, capital composition, management and profitability, the tax burden level of taxpayers fluctuates at different time points, and not every taxpayer’s tax burden decreases at every time point. In different industries, the situation is different. According to the statistics of relevant departments, the tax burden of 1.6% taxpayers has increased at present, despite the overall decrease.

　　Talk about Hong Kong

　　Looking forward to the emergence of a new chief executive in Hong Kong

　　Regarding the upcoming election of the fifth Hong Kong Chief Executive on March 26th, Wang Guoqing expressed the hope that the election can be conducted in a legal, orderly and smooth manner. I believe that Hong Kong will be able to elect a Chief Executive who loves Hong Kong, has the trust of the central authorities, has the ability to govern and is supported by the people of Hong Kong. Like everyone else, he is looking forward to it.

　　Besides, this year marks the 20th anniversary of the return of Hong Kong. Wang Guoqing said that the achievements of "one country, two systems" in Hong Kong in the past 20 years are universally recognized. Of course, we have also encountered some new situations and new problems. The central government has always adhered to two points in implementing the principle of "one country, two systems": first, it is firm and will not change or waver; Second, it is comprehensive and accurate, ensuring that the practice of "one country, two systems" in Hong Kong is not distorted or distorted, and always advances in the right direction. Therefore, whether it is between the mainland people and Hong Kong people, or between different sectors and classes in Hong Kong society, only by fully respecting each other’s interests and concerns, being rational and pragmatic, and seeking common ground while reserving differences, can we narrow differences, resolve contradictions, avoid conflicts, build Hong Kong well, and build our common home of the Chinese nation well.

　　Talking about the South China Sea

　　It is perfectly normal to deploy necessary facilities in one’s own country.

　　Regarding the question that China’s deployment of military facilities on the South Island Reef threatens the freedom of navigation, Wang Guoqing replied with a China proverb, "There is nothing in the world, and much ado about nothing". He said that the South China Sea Islands are China’s inherent territory, and it is completely normal for China to deploy some necessary national defense facilities on its own territory. This is the normal right of a sovereign country recognized by international law. As for threatening the freedom of navigation of other countries, he said, in fact, China, as a major trading country and the largest coastal country in the South China Sea, attaches more importance to the freedom and safety of navigation in the South China Sea than any other country. It is totally a "false proposition" that some foreign countries speculate that "China threatens freedom of navigation". Because after World War II, China recovered the South China Sea Islands, so many years, freedom of navigation in the South China Sea has never heard of any problems.

　　He reiterated that China has established cooperation mechanisms with many countries to ensure the navigation safety of the South China Sea Channel. Civil facilities such as lighthouses built by China in the South China Sea Islands have played an active role in ensuring the safety of navigation and humanitarian relief.

　　Newly renovated

　　Press Conference Hall 

　　Yesterday afternoon, the first press conference of the Fifth Session of the 12th Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference was held in the press conference hall of the Great Hall of the People. This year is Wang Guoqing’s second appearance since he became the spokesman of the CPPCC General Assembly. After the press conference started at 3 pm, he simply delivered a welcome speech and then said, "This year’s decoration, things are different, but people are still." He refers to the renovation of the press conference hall in the past year.

　　When the Beijing Youth Daily reporter entered the venue, he noticed the changes in the release hall. For example, the back plate of the podium of the conference was changed from marble with patterns last year to light yellow, and the ceiling was changed from rows of small lights to a large main light centered around some slightly smaller crystal lights. The decoration of the fence has also been changed from plane to concave wooden structure with Chinese carved patterns. It is observed that there are more than 200 chairs in this year’s press conference. However, the two aisles between the Eastern District, the Central District and the Western District are all full of people, including two rows of reporters in front of the first row and under the publishing platform. The number of reporters on the spot should be around 400.

　　The conference was co-chaired by Liu Jiayi, Deputy Secretary-General of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, and Zhang Jingan, Director of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference Information Bureau. At the 20th minute of the press conference, the reporter of Beiqing Daily noticed that after Zhang Jingan and Wang Guoqing whispered a few words, Wang Guoqing took off his watch and put it aside, probably because the progress of the press conference was a little slow, and he just entered the fourth question at the 20th minute. Finally, it is estimated that the 70-minute press conference will last for about 90 minutes.

　　In the press conference, Wang Guoqing told the story of Ding Long last year, and this year, when talking about poverty alleviation, he told the story of Li Xinan, Shaanxi. When it comes to reform, he said that China’s reform can only be carried out when it is not completed, and the economy is a "required question" every year. When talking about China’s cultural self-confidence, he used the popular "Chinese Poetry Conference" during the Spring Festival as an example, and said that he didn’t advertise the program, which was really hot. His second-grade grandson would also answer questions with the Tang and Song poems he learned in class. When talking about the Belt and Road Initiative, Wang Guoqing introduced what research the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) had done on this topic. This was the only CPPCC special committee he mentioned during the whole press conference, and virtually made an advertisement for the Foreign Affairs Committee.

　　The reporter of Beiqing Daily also noticed that when answering American reporters’ questions about the South China Sea, Wang Guoqing directly called the reporter’s English name Eric, which should be related to his long-term work in the State Council Information Office and his frequent dealings with Chinese and foreign journalists.

　　Wang Guoqing: Sometimes it’s a bit like walking on thin ice.

　　On the eve of the two sessions of the National People’s Congress, Wang Guoqing, spokesman of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference Congress, accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily. Wang Guoqing answered questions about the work of the past year, the preparation and summary of the press conference, and the qualification examination of the upcoming new members.

　　The first press conference is the opening of the two sessions every year.

　　Beiqing Daily: Since the two sessions last year, you have rarely appeared in the public eye. Can you tell us what you have done personally this year?

　　Wang Guoqing: First of all, I am the press spokesman of the conference, so I take on the responsibility of "speaking" during the conference, such as the first press conference, so the exposure rate during the conference is higher. But at ordinary times, as a member of the CPPCC, a platform for participating in and discussing state affairs, the first thing for me is to perform my duties seriously, hold meetings, conduct research and make proposals. At the same time, this year also played a role in promoting the perfection of China’s press release system and improving the level of the press spokesman team.

　　Beiqing Daily: You mentioned that the first press conference of the two sessions was "highly concerned by the society and politically sensitive" and you felt great pressure. How should you understand this?

　　Wang Guoqing: "Social concern is high" because it is the first press conference of the NPC and CPPCC. I have also worked as a reporter and interviewed the two sessions. I know that reporters will do a lot of desk work in advance, but they can’t produce manuscripts, even if some of them are sporadic. The first press conference can be regarded as a little content, so the degree of attention is relatively high.

　　"Strong political sensitivity" can be understood in this way. The first press conference is compared to the opening gongs and drums of the two sessions every year. It is necessary to guide everyone’s attention to major issues that affect the national economy and people’s livelihood and national development. If some questions are not properly answered and grasped, it will have an impact on the public opinion atmosphere of the whole conference. Therefore, I think that the first press conference is highly politically sensitive, and I feel very responsible. Sometimes I really feel a bit like walking on thin ice, for fear that my answer will cause some unnecessary public opinion hotspots.

　　The workload of post-conference analysis is quite large.

　　Beiqing Daily: Can you tell us about your follow-up work after last year’s press conference and what stories have you prepared this year?

　　Wang Guoqing: We also want to convey what we want to express by telling stories. Now it looks very effective. People may not be interested in the same thing, even if it is a vivid document language. After turning it into a story, the effect will be different if the spirit is integrated into the story. For example, when I talked about Ding Long last year, I didn’t know there was such a person until I was preparing. His story touched me and was noticed by the media after I finished speaking. After so many years, Ding Long was a little "fired".

　　We have to sum up after the press conference of the two sessions. Press release is a very complicated job, not just deciding when to hold the press conference. Topic setting, content selection, on-site organization and post-meeting effect evaluation are all very important links. For example, we held a press conference with dozens of reporters, and the scene was very lively. However, how to report after the meeting and the performance of the spokesperson need to be analyzed, and the workload is quite large. I emphasized this point very much when I was in the new office. Every year, I asked professors from colleges and universities to take the team to do the evaluation of news release. It has been more than ten years now. In addition to regular feedback during the period, there will be a work meeting at the end of the year, and they will bring us a thick report, which is very useful to us. Their evaluation is often more professional and objective.

　　I joked that when we finish the press conference and write a briefing, we would often say that "the reporters at the press conference asked questions enthusiastically and the Chinese and foreign media reported them fully". However, the experts’ evaluation will not report good news but not bad news. They will affirm the achievements, directly tell the problems and analyze the reasons, which is very helpful for the improvement of our work.

　　Beiqing Daily: Recently, international and domestic events have continued. You are a spokesman and vice director of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference. What’s your response or preparation?

　　Wang Guoqing: The Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) is a platform for consultation and deliberation, not a decision-making body or an administrative organ. Before that, we had three symposiums with the media and a salon with foreign media reporters, all of whom were very concerned about these issues. However, as a spokesperson for the CPPCC General Assembly, I have no authority to talk about these issues. After we collect the questions raised by reporters, we will make some judgments about which ones should be answered at the press conference of the CPPCC National Committee and which ones should be transferred as "setters", such as those that should be transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, those that should be given to the National Development and Reform Commission, and those that should be given to the Taiwan Affairs Office. It’s not that we push these questions out, and I can respond to some questions, but most of them can only be regarded as statements, which are not authoritative. Therefore, we still have to find our own position.

　　CPPCC members are not only honors, but also political responsibilities.

　　Beiqing Daily: Talk about anti-corruption. The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection held a press conference after the plenary session for two consecutive years. What do you think? This year, the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) will start recommending new members. Is there any plan to strengthen the qualification examination?

　　Wang Guoqing: It is very good for the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to hold a press conference after the plenary session. Although there was a meeting communique, there were many reports during the meeting, and the media had done a lot of work, there was such a press conference after the meeting, where "authoritative people" came out to face the media and interpreted the issues that everyone was concerned about and those that were not fully understood in the communique. The effect was very good, indicating that our work in this regard was very transparent. Including people accusing us of selective anti-corruption and power struggle, they all gave a good response.

　　How to handle the threshold of the CPPCC is a very important issue in the year of transition, and it is also a concern of everyone. I am also a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, and we are all very concerned about it. CPPCC members are not only an honor, but also a political responsibility. Everyone wants their environment to be clean. Therefore, next year’s transition must be in strict accordance with the procedures.

　　The articles of association of the CPPCC stipulate the procedures for the selection of CPPCC members: first, nomination and recommendation, the relevant departments make a comprehensive evaluation of the recommended list, form a list of suggestions through consultation, and then report it to the Standing Committee of the CPPCC for consultation and approval by half of the members of the Standing Committee. There are a series of strict procedures for recommendation, review, approval and publicity. Before the change of the two sessions, the central government will also put forward some clear requirements, and all recommended responsible units or departments should be highly responsible and strictly follow the requirements of the central government. Now we say that leading cadres can’t "take up their posts with illness", and CPPCC members can’t "enter this team with illness", so we should make good checks at all levels. Of course, we must give full play to the role of democracy and supervision, including supervision by public opinion, organization and other aspects, to ensure a clean and upright atmosphere. We also hope that the new Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference will have a team of members with strong representativeness, reasonable structure, both ability and political integrity and high performance.

　　Beiqing Daily: This year is the fifth session of the CPPCC. Do you think there will be any changes in the performance of members’ duties, such as the sharp increase in the number of proposals or the enthusiasm of members in performing their duties?

　　Wang Guoqing: I can’t judge what changes have taken place in the performance of duties of members as a whole. Personally, I will certainly cherish the limited time left in this term, do my duty with all my heart, leave no regrets and live up to my mission. I believe members will make good use of the opportunity in the last year, live up to this title and do their work well.

　　As for whether the number of proposals will soar, I don’t think so. In recent years, my feeling is that the ability of members to perform their duties is becoming more and more mature, and the quality of proposals is getting higher and higher. In recent years, Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference has always emphasized the quality of proposals, and made some demands in this respect. Just like GDP, we should not blindly pursue quantity, but pay more attention to quality, and we should not make proposals for everything. At present, Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference advocates and encourages sectoral proposals and collective proposals, which are often of high quality, because a lot of research has been done collectively before they are put forward, and the questions are all asked accurately. In the past two or three years, the number of proposals has remained at around five or six thousand.

Israel embeds AI into deadly military action： selecting air strike targets at an unprecedented speed.

　　At present, the Israeli military mainly uses two artificial intelligence systems to participate in military operations. One is a system for processing a large amount of data and selecting air strike targets; The other is an artificial intelligence model used to calculate the ammunition load and make a surprise attack plan.

　　"If there is an error in the calculation of artificial intelligence, and artificial intelligence itself cannot explain it, then who should be responsible for this error? You may kill a family because of a mistake. "

　　Israel Defense Forces (IDF) began to use artificial intelligence (AI) system to select air targets and organize wartime logistics work to cope with tensions with Iran and other countries.

　　According to a report by Bloomberg on July 17, at present, the Israeli military mainly uses two artificial intelligence systems to participate in military operations. One is a system for processing a large amount of data and selecting air strike targets; The other is an artificial intelligence model used to calculate the ammunition load and make a surprise attack plan. Military officials said that it is now possible to select air targets and carry out attacks within minutes, which is unprecedented speed.

　　Supporters believe that these advanced algorithms may surpass human capabilities and help the military minimize casualties, while critics warn that over-reliance on increasingly autonomous systems may have fatal consequences.

　　Designed for total war, it has gained practical experience in Gaza.

　　Israeli officials said that in addition to using artificial intelligence systems to process a large amount of data and select air strike targets, the military is rapidly carrying out subsequent raids through another artificial intelligence model called "Fire Factory", which calculates the ammunition load according to the air strike target data approved by the military, prioritizes thousands of targets and assigns them to aircraft and drones, and makes a timetable.

　　Giving artificial intelligence a high degree of control over military operations has caused a lot of controversy and discussion. An IDF official said that every target and air strike plan of these two systems are currently supervised and audited by human operators, but this technology has not been regulated at any international or national level.

　　"If there is an error in the calculation of artificial intelligence, and artificial intelligence itself cannot explain it, then who should be responsible for this error?" Tal Mimran, a lecturer in international law at Hebrew University in Jerusalem and a former military legal adviser, said, "You may kill a family because of a mistake."

　　The details of the military’s use of artificial intelligence are still largely confidential. According to military officials, the IDF conducted regular air strikes in the Gaza by using controversial artificial intelligence systems, and gained battlefield experience. Earlier, Israeli air strikes were frequently carried out in the Gaza in response to rocket attacks. In 2021, the IDF described the 11-day conflict in Gaza as the world’s first "artificial intelligence war", saying that it used artificial intelligence to identify rocket launching pads and deploy drones. Israel has also carried out air strikes in Syria and Lebanon, targeting arms shipments from pro-Iranian militias such as Hezbollah in Lebanon.

　　In recent months, Israel has warned Iran about its uranium enrichment activities almost every day. If a military conflict breaks out between the two countries, the IDF expects Iranian proxy organizations in Gaza, Syria and Lebanon to fight back, which will lead to the first serious multi-front conflict in Israel since the Yom Kippur war triggered by the Egyptian and Syrian raids 50 years ago.

　　IDF officials pointed out that tools based on artificial intelligence such as "Firepower Factory" were tailored for this scenario. "What used to take a few hours now only takes a few minutes, plus a few minutes of manual review." Colonel Uri, head of the army’s digital transformation department, said that only his name could be used for security reasons. Speaking at the headquarters of the Israel Defense Forces in Tel Aviv, Uri said: "We have done more with the same number of people."

　　These officials stressed that the system was designed for total war. The IDF has been using artificial intelligence for a long time. Recently, it has extended these systems to various departments, trying to position itself as a global leader in autonomous weapons. Some of these systems were built by Israeli defense contractors, while others, such as the StarTrack border control camera, were developed by the military. These cameras identify people and objects by watching thousands of hours of video. Together, they form a huge digital architecture, which is specially used to analyze a large number of unmanned aerial vehicles and closed-circuit television videos, satellite images, electronic signals, online communications and other data for the military to use.

　　Processing these massive information is the task of the Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Center run by the 8200 military department. The center is located in the intelligence department, where many Israeli technology millionaires complete their compulsory military service before the company succeeds in starting a business. A spokesman said that the system developed by the center "changed the IDF’s concept of targets".

　　Serious concern

　　The secrecy of the development of such tools has aroused serious concern. Some people think that the gap between semi-automatic systems and fully automatic killing machines may narrow overnight. In this case, machines will be given the ability to locate and strike targets, and human beings will be completely excluded from decision-making.

　　"Only some software changes are needed to change them from semi-automation to full automation." Catherine Connolly, an automated decision researcher at Stop Killer Robots, said.

　　Another worry is that the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence exceeds the research speed of its internal operation. Many algorithms of artificial intelligence systems are developed by private companies and the military, which have secret patent information. Critics emphasize that the inherent mechanism of the algorithm’s conclusion lacks transparency. The IDF admits this problem, but says that the output results are carefully reviewed by soldiers, and its military artificial intelligence system will leave records so that human operators can trace its steps.

　　"Sometimes, when you introduce more complex artificial intelligence components, such as neural networks, understand ‘ What has happened to its brain ’ Is quite difficult. So I say I am satisfied with traceability, not with interpretability. In other words, I want to know what is important to me in this process and monitor it, even if I don’t understand every ‘ Neuron ’ What are you doing? " Colonel uri said.

　　The Israeli Ministry of Defence refused to disclose the amount of its investment in artificial intelligence, and the military was unwilling to discuss specific defense contracts, although it confirmed that the "fire factory" was developed by Israeli defense contractor Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd.

　　"We can assume that the United States, China and several other countries also have advanced systems in the field of artificial intelligence." Liran Antebi, a senior researcher at Israel’s National Security Institute, said, "But unlike Israel, as far as I know, they have never demonstrated the actual operation and successful use of the system."

　　In February this year, the first global summit on responsible artificial intelligence in the military field was held in the Netherlands. More than 60 countries, including China and the United States, participated in and signed an action initiative on responsible use of artificial intelligence in the military field, and Israel was the only country that did not sign it.

　　At present, there are no restrictions on introducing artificial intelligence systems into military operations. Although the United Nations has presided over the negotiations for 10 years, there is no international framework that stipulates who should be responsible for civilian casualties, accidents or unexpected escalation when computers make mistakes.

Internet plus： A Force to Change the World

　　"internet plus" medical care may change the existing medical service system. Wang Duo Zuo

　editorial comment/note

　A wave called "internet plus" is sweeping the global industry and capital, like a stimulant, hitting every entrepreneur and investor. The existing world balance has been broken, and the inherent mode of thinking has been impacted. What kind of trend is this and where will it take us? In this monograph, Guo Chongqing, an academician of China Academy of Engineering, and other experts are invited to answer questions for readers.

□ Our commentator Wang Fuyong

　The Internet economy is characterized by "collaborative sharing"

Moderator: At present, "internet plus" is a hot word, and many people are talking about "internet plus". But there are different opinions about what "internet plus" is and what its characteristics are. Can you define it?

Guo Chongqing: I have defined "internet plus" myself, that is, using Internet technologies (mobile Internet, cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things, etc.) to transform traditional industries, economy and society with an open, equal, collaborative and shared Internet thinking, so as to achieve an open, fair, harmonious, competitive and sustainable economy and society.

One of the characteristics of Internet economy is openness, public participation, inclusiveness, disintermediation, equality and fairness, which weakens the influence of geographical distance, weakens the asymmetry of economic activity information and strengthens the dominant position of consumers. The scope of "internet plus" can cover corporate governance, social governance, economic governance, national governance and even global governance. Another feature of the Internet economy is "collaborative sharing", and the superstructure must adapt to the economic base. "Collaborative sharing" must be the morphological feature of "zero marginal cost society", and the ideas of corporate governance and global governance should come from this. It seems that the thinking of hegemony and profit maximization does not conform to the thinking trend of the Internet age. This feature also directly affects the behavior changes of a series of actors.

Moderator: What opportunities will this information technology revolution bring us?

Guo Chongqing: It has changed our understanding of industrial civilization. Although the manufacturing industry has met our great material and cultural needs, it has also brought unsustainable resource consumption and environmental damage. China’s economic structure and development mode must be changed, but despite years of adjustment and transformation, the results are not obvious. Suffering from the lack of grasping hands, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to finally find a new engine at the intersection of the new scientific and technological revolution, restart China’s economy, and find a new growth momentum in the economic downturn. In the past, it was "cement+steel bar", but this time it was "fingertip+click". The integration of physical level and information level will definitely promote the economic and social development of China.

Wang Min: Industries with high traditional concentration and leading players enjoying channel monopoly premium will usher in disruptive innovation of the Internet. Internet eliminates the channel and brand cost of the original industrial chain, thus providing services to the demanders more efficiently. In this case, the Internet will subvert the industry, so-called "destructive innovation" and "decentralization". The object of decentralization may be an industry, a market, a group, or even commercial value, etc. In the future, whoever adapts to this value will get sustainable development.

　Networked ecological existence is the inevitable way out.

Moderator: This surging information technology revolution, which seems to be independent of human will, is an opportunity for the development of China’s manufacturing industry. Specifically, what is this opportunity?

Guo Chongqing: The breakthrough of manufacturing enterprises in China is beyond the enterprise wall, and the networked ecological existence is the inevitable way out. The model of core technology leading products is out of date, the system determines success or failure, the integrator wins the world, and the core technology is not the whole factor of success or failure. This seems to give China people who have always been superstitious about core technologies a chance.

In this context, the survival and development of enterprises depend more on socialized and internationalized value creation. Small enterprise innovation and large enterprise industrialization seem to be a normal state; The ecological existence of network is manifested in the integration of vertical supply chain, horizontal value chain, and then evolution to the integration of network ecological chain, competition and cooperation, and synergy. Most manufacturing enterprises in China are still in the initial stage of vertical supply chain integration, far from entering the stage of ecological chain; Enterprises should have real-time insight into the market and accurately meet the needs of consumers. Abandon the producer-centered, product-centered, technology-centered manufacturing cultural plot, establish new values of "customer-centered", "service-centered" and "creating value for customers", and carry out in-depth changes in the manufacturing model and business model, with "internet plus" as the starting point.

Under the background of "internet plus", products will be defined by software, and the integration of hardware+software+service is the direction of product development. Unexpectedly, a Uber taxi software will lead to the reshaping of a taxi industry. "Uber in internet plus" is an example of the industry "internet plus". Even Zhang Ruimin of Haier, who has been silent for several years, has gradually come to his senses under the impact of the information tide. As he said, whoever can bring users into the network age will win, and what is the carrier is not important.

Moderator: In the era of traditional manufacturing, the core value of a product is the product itself. Will this be subverted under the influence of the "internet plus" trend?

Guo Chongqing: The core value of more and more products is not the product itself but the service (such as TV and mobile phone). The integration of products and services is a feature of this information tide. APP defines products, and many manufacturers are marginalized because of different understandings of products and services. The TVs and cars developed by Google or LeTV are different from traditional manufacturers. Every link in the manufacturing value chain, including R&D, design, production, sales and service, must be redefined, and new products, new processes and new services must be recreated based on Internet technology. The influence of the information revolution far exceeds that of the industrial revolution. All walks of life can only adapt to the times and survive if they change and integrate into the change of information technology. As Yang Yuanqing of Lenovo Group said: "Whoever can’t keep up with the times will be the next Kodak."

　"internet plus" needs to add chemical changes to be effective

Moderator: Grove, the former CEO of Intel, said: The Internet will redefine IT, and a ubiquitous Internet is changing the world. You have been saying that "the Internet will redefine all walks of life". What is the specific impact of the Internet on all walks of life?

Guo Chongqing: For example, the "internet plus" smart city promotes the socialization of government governance and universal information. Not long ago, the construction of "smart cities" was rolled out in 300 cities across the country, with huge investment and mixed quality. However, since the "internet plus" was put forward, the three major Internet companies competed to sign contracts with local governments to build "smart cities" in various places. Even in a corner of Guizhou, its "Guizhou on the Cloud" is at the forefront of smart city construction. With local governments actively promoting the opening of urban service data and Internet companies actively investing (the competition law of Internet companies: whoever gets the entrance gets the world), the government and the market complement each other, give full play to their respective strengths, innovate the public service supply model, and promote the socialization of government governance and information inclusiveness, which will certainly optimize the urban management process. The new urbanization of "internet plus" will also bring positive changes. Under the influence of "internet plus", the construction of new urbanization should be characterized by industry sinking, industry integration and industry uniform distribution. The formulation of "headquarters economy" is out of narrow geographical interests. The headquarters and production bases of large enterprises in the United States are scattered. FedEx headquarters is located in the southern town of Memphis, which is the largest air cargo hub in the world. Wal-Mart’s headquarters is also in a small city.

"internet plus" is of great significance to the hospital reform in a "battle-ready" state. Registration network and medical payment network play a supplementary role in solving the difficulty of seeing a doctor. With the development of Internet technology, a considerable part of diagnostic behaviors can be completed online, and artificial intelligence can partially replace doctors, including surgery, detection and chronic disease management in hospitals. Pharmacy can be separated from the hospital, patients can get peer-to-peer service across the hospital, and the family will become the main place for medical care in the future. The development of hospitals in China is specialized, fragmented and networked. There are 7 billion outpatient visits and 200 million hypertensive patients in China every year. Can some of these patients be treated at home in the future? One thing is certain, the medical function cannot be changed, but the hospital organization can be changed.

Wang Min: "internet plus" can be said to be a force to change the world, but this kind of+still has a premise. "internet plus" is not a label, and "internet plus" doesn’t just want to++,and it doesn’t simply stick the Internet and traditional industries together, but should make some "chemical changes" between them. Internet can add hospitals, education, new rural construction, finance, new urbanization and so on. After adding it, there will definitely be changes, big and small. If "internet plus" is to become a subversive force, the operating structure of the original industries, industries and organizations should be adjusted accordingly and actively. If there is no adjustment, the change will not be so obvious. But one thing is certain, if you don’t adapt and adjust, internet plus will force you to make changes sooner or later.

Crown refreshed／four models, analyzing the new generation of Toyota Crown

　　The ninth-generation Crown was launched in October 1991. This generation of models was divided into a four-door hardtop version and a higher-end MAJESTA series. The four-door sedan and four-door station wagon of the same period followed the chassis of the eighth-generation Crown, and the appearance was modeled after the ninth-generation Crown. The ninth-generation Crown was revamped in 1993 and the appearance was redesigned. A total of 284,000 cars of this generation of Crown were produced.

　　At the end of 1991, the Crown JZS133 (commonly known as: Crown 133), which was converted from the eighth-generation Crown four-door sedan, began to be sold in China. The domestically imported "Crown 133" adopts the Toyota logo on the front and rear, and there is a prominent Crown logo on the engine cover. The car is equipped with a 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engine, which is divided into Super Saloon models matching a 5-speed manual transmission and Royal Saloon models matching a 4-speed automatic transmission. This generation of models has a huge number of domestic sales.

　　The tenth-generation crown was launched in August 1995, and the models included a four-door hardtop and a four-door sedan, while the four-door travel version continued to be modified on the basis of the eighth-generation crown. In terms of appearance, the tenth-generation crown continued the previous generation’s rounded styling style, but it looked slightly tougher, and the overall atmosphere was still moderate.

　　In 1995, Toyota also launched the Crown Comfort model for the taxi market. The car has a shorter appearance length of only 4695mm, a width of 1695mm, a height of 1525mm, and a wheelbase of 2785mm. It is worth mentioning that the Crown Comfort in Japan has external rearview mirrors located on both sides of the fenders. In terms of power, the Crown Comfort is equipped with a 2.0-liter gasoline engine or a 2.0-liter LPG engine, which is matched with a 4-speed automatic transmission or a 5-speed manual transmission. In order to control costs and facilitate maintenance, the car adopts an integrated bridge non-independent rear suspension, and luxury equipment such as LCD dashboard and leather seats have been cancelled.

　　In the late 1990s, the 10th-generation Crown JZS155 (commonly known as: Crown 155) model imported into China continued to be equipped with a 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engine. The car was equipped with luxury configurations such as rear air conditioning system, rear seat electric adjustment, and rear multimedia control system. The 10th-generation Crown stopped importing in 2001, and the 11th-generation Crown after that was not available in China. Until 2005, the 12th-generation Crown began to be produced in FAW Toyota.

　　　The eleventh-generation Crown was launched in September 1999. The sedan version included the Royal series and the ATHLETE sports series. The station wagon version only had the ATHLETE sports series, and the four-door hardtop model was discontinued. However, this generation of models was only sold in the Japanese market and did not enter the Chinese market.

A Brief History of Crowns (Part 2): The 12th generation of domestic crowns began in 2003

The 12th generation was officially put into production in China in 2005

　　In December 2003, the 12th generation Crown was officially launched. This generation of models mainly provides four-door sedans, which are divided into: Royal series and ATHLETE sports series. At the same time, MAJESTA returned to the Crown series, while the 11th generation Crown station wagon continued to be sold. FAW Toyota’s domestic Crown was officially launched in March 2005, with a total of 7 models launched, with a price range of 32.8-48 million yuan. The domestic crown is based on the 12th-generation Crown Royal series. The main differences include: the domestic model initially provided only a 3.0-liter engine, and the direct injection technology was cancelled. Later, a 2.5-liter power version was added. The chassis of the domestic crown was raised by 10mm, and the four-wheel drive version was not provided. It also cancelled the active steering headlights and night vision system. The original engine cover was made of aluminum alloy, and the domestic version was changed to stainless steel.

　　Thanks to the good reputation accumulated by the "old crown" imported into China in the early stage, the crown once surpassed the Audi A6L in the early stage of domestic sales. The domestic crown ranked first in the medium and large car market with sales of 2,992 units in the first month of its listing. Two months later, the crown’s order exceeded 10,000 units. By the end of 2006, the crown’s sales volume exceeded 60,000 units, accounting for more than 30% of the premium car market. In 2007, the crown’s annual sales reached 53,104 units.

　　In February 2008, the 13th generation of the Crown model was released in Japan, initially launching the Royal, ATHLETE Sport, and MAJESTA models, followed by a Hybrid model. At that time, Toyota established the main competitor of the Crown in the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, and Mercedes-Benz E-Class models.

Autohome

　　More than a year after the 13th generation crown was released in the Japanese market, FAW Toyota officially made the 13th generation crown domestically. On December 14, 2009, the domestic crown based on the overseas version of the crown MAJESTA model was officially launched. The crown models listed at that time had a total of 2.5L, 3.0L and 4.3L three displacement 9 models, priced 326,800 yuan – 899,500 yuan. This generation of domestic models has been further upgraded compared with the overseas version of the MAJESTA. The main changes lie in the length and wheelbase. The domestic model is 75mm longer than the previous generation of domestic crown.

Autohome

　　On December 25, 2012, the 14th generation crown was officially launched in Japan. This time, the crown released the Royal series and ATHLETE sports series, and also released a new hybrid version of the model. The MAJESTA version has not been launched yet. The shape design of the 14th generation crown has a relatively large change compared to the 13th generation. It adopts a new big-mouth front face design, a flatter and sharper light group shape, and LED daytime running lights are added to the lamp cavity. In addition, the lines of the C-pillar part are also more aggressive, and the lines at the bottom of the side are more layered.

Autohome

　　This generation of domestic crown was first launched at the 2014 Guangzhou Auto Show. Like the previous generation, it is still based on the MAJESTA version of the overseas crown, and the wheelbase is 75mm higher than that of the overseas new generation of crown ordinary version. This generation of domestic models has 2.0T and 2.5L power options, and went on sale on March 12, 2015. At that time, the price range of the model was 27.98-38 5,800 yuan, which is enough for both the overall positioning and the entry price.

　　In 2018, Toyota released the 15th generation model in the local market. The new car offers three power configurations and will be officially released on June 26. At the same time, the official price of the car in Japan was 460.62-718 7,400 yen, which is about 27-420,000 yuan. This generation of models is based on the GA-N rear drive platform under the TNGA architecture. The engine installation position under the new platform is reduced (the center of gravity is reduced by 15mm), and the sportiness is improved. However, this generation of models eventually failed to enter the Chinese market, and the previous generation (14th generation) was discontinued around 2018.

Can Crown Lu Fang really continue the legend of the Crown series in China?

Autohome

　　But the crown’s road in China is over? Of course not, although the 15th generation crown was not in the Chinese market, the crown as a "totem" later appeared in a place that we did not expect. At the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2021, FAW Toyota released the sister model of the GAC Toyota Highlander and named it the Crown Land Rover CROWN KLUGER. The car did not hang the Toyota bull’s head logo, but instead used the crown logo, which was outstanding.

■editorial reviewWhat is it?

　　After 67 years and a total of 16 iterations, a new crown family has appeared in front of us. From now on, Toyota Crown no longer just refers to the name of a car, but more comprehensive sub-products give it more partners and stronger strength. Based on the TNGA-K front-drive platform, it uses the same platform as Highlander and the new Camry in the future, and its comprehensive strength is evident. However, from the comments under the official picture news we released yesterday, everyone has mixed opinions on this appearance. As more content is revealed, will you change your opinion on it? As a global model, the new crown will be introduced to China as an imported car in 2022 and sold by FAW Toyota. However, I believe that with the launch of the new crown, more news will be announced one after another. Let’s wait and see.

　　What else do you want to know about the new generation of crown? Or what do you think the price range and competitors are after it is introduced into China, etc. Welcome to the comment area to leave a message, and we will discuss the improvement together. See more exciting content, all in Autohome. (Text/Autohome Zhu Lishen, Zhong Weiqi, Liu Dong)
