Deeply understand and fully implement the general requirements of party building in the new era

  As Socialism with Chinese characteristics enters a new era, our Party must make new achievements. The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has made a top-level design and comprehensive deployment for the new great project of promoting party building in the new era, put forward the general requirements for party building in the new era, and pointed out the direction for our party to comprehensively strengthen party building at a new historical starting point. We must deeply understand and fully understand the great significance and rich connotation of this general requirement, enhance our ideological consciousness and action consciousness, implement the general requirement in all aspects of party building in a down-to-earth manner, and build the party stronger and stronger.

  First, a profound understanding of the great significance of the general requirements of party building in the new era

  The general requirements for Party building in the new era were put forward by the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on the basis of the new historical orientation of China’s development and the new historical mission of our Party, on the basis of studying and implementing Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era, and on the basis of the new situation and new problems faced by strengthening Party building. It is of great and far-reaching significance to implement this general requirement.

  This is the inherent requirement of studying and implementing the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China established Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought, the supreme leader in the new era, as the guiding ideology and action guide that our party must adhere to for a long time, which is a major historical contribution of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era has systematically answered a series of major theoretical and practical questions about what kind of Socialism with Chinese characteristics our Party will adhere to and develop in the new era and how to adhere to and develop Socialism with Chinese characteristics. It is the latest achievement of China Marxism and a major theoretical innovation of our Party. The general requirement of Party building in the new era is an important part of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era. Only by constantly strengthening Party building in accordance with the general requirements of Party building in the new era can we further promote the whole party to arm its mind with Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought, the supreme leader in the new era, give full play to the fundamental guiding role of this important thought in all aspects of work and the development of various undertakings, and ensure that the whole party will unite and act in unison under the guidance of this important thought, and forge ahead with one heart and one mind.

  This is an inevitable requirement to base on the new historical orientation of China’s development and complete the historical mission and goal of the party in the new era. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made a major political conclusion that Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and the main contradiction in our society has been transformed into the contradiction between the people’s growing need for a better life and the unbalanced development, and profoundly expounded the historical mission and goal of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in the new era. Unswervingly adhering to and improving the party’s leadership and unswervingly building the party stronger are the basic premise and fundamental guarantee for our party to adapt to the requirements of the new era and complete its historical mission and struggle goals in the new era. The general requirements for party building in the new era proceed from the new requirements put forward by the new era, new journey, new mission and new goals, and further answer the historical topic of "what kind of party to build and how to build the party", forming the general program for the party to strengthen its own construction in the new era. Only by unswervingly implementing this general requirement can we ensure that our Party will always be at the forefront of the times and become the strong leading core of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s cause.

  This is a strategic requirement to improve the Party’s long-term ruling ability and leadership level, and to ensure that the Party will always be the strong leadership core of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s cause. The most essential feature of Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership, the greatest advantage of Socialism with Chinese characteristics system is the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership, and the Party is the highest political leadership. Upholding and strengthening the overall leadership of the Party is the fundamental interest of the people of China, China and the Chinese nation, and it cannot be shaken at any time or under any circumstances. In the new era, if our Party wants to unite and lead the people to carry out great struggles, advance great undertakings, realize great dreams, lead China with a long history of more than 5,000 years and a population of more than 1.3 billion, and build a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modern power, it must further promote the new great project of Party building and constantly improve the Party’s ruling ability and leadership level. Only by comprehensively implementing the general requirements for Party building in the new era, strengthening the long-term ruling ability of the Party, and comprehensively enhancing the ruling ability, can we ensure that our Party will always become the strong leadership core of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s cause.

  This is a realistic requirement to promote the in-depth development of the party in an all-round way and ensure that the party will always maintain its vigorous vitality and strong combat effectiveness. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, our party has comprehensively strengthened party leadership and party building, resolutely changed the loose and soft state of managing the party, updated the atmosphere of political life within the party, obviously improved the political ecology within the party, consolidated the unity and unity of the party, significantly improved the relationship between the party and the masses, significantly enhanced the party’s creativity, cohesion and combat effectiveness, and achieved remarkable results in comprehensively administering the party strictly. At the same time, we should be soberly aware that there are still many weak links in party building, and outstanding problems such as impure thinking, impure organization and impure style within the party have not been fundamentally solved. The "four major tests" are long-term and complicated, and the "four dangers" are acute and severe. In order to effectively deal with these tests and dangers and fundamentally solve the outstanding problems existing in the Party, we must fully implement the general requirements for Party building in the new era, make greater efforts to promote the comprehensive and strict management of the Party, ensure that our Party always maintains its advanced nature and purity, and always become the pioneer of the times and the backbone of the nation.

  Second, deeply understand the rich connotation of the general requirements for party building in the new era

  The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China comprehensively expounded the general requirements for Party building in the new era, with lofty ideas and rich connotations, profoundly answered a series of fundamental questions on strengthening Party building under the new historical conditions, enriched and developed the Marxist theory of Party building, marked that our Party’s understanding of the laws governing the construction of the ruling party reached a new height, and provided basic follow-up for promoting the comprehensive and strict administration of the Party in the new era. This general requirement mainly includes the following aspects.

  First, the fundamental principles, guiding principles and main lines of party building in the new era. At the beginning of the general requirement, it is stated clearly that "we should uphold and strengthen the overall leadership of the Party", which points out the fundamental principle of Party building in the new era, embodies the requirement of "upholding the Party’s leadership over all work" and grasps the key of Party building. The general requirements clarify the guiding principle of Party building, that is, "the Party should govern the Party and strictly manage the Party in an all-round way", which embodies the most distinctive theme of Party building since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and require the whole Party to comprehensively strengthen Party building with strict attitude, strict requirements, strict measures and strict system, and implement all tasks of comprehensively and strictly managing the Party. It is generally required that Party building in the new era should "focus on strengthening the Party’s long-term ruling ability, advancement and purity". Adding the word "long-term" to the original expression of the party’s ruling ability construction profoundly shows that improving the party’s ruling ability and leadership level and maintaining the party’s advanced nature and purity are always on the road, accompanying the whole process of the party’s ruling, and adhering to and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s magnificent journey; It contains far-reaching considerations on the long-term and arduous nature of the party’s ruling mission; Reveals the essential requirements of the construction of Marxist ruling party; It reflects the new characteristics and requirements of the party’s ruling ability construction in the new era.That is, all the work of party building must focus on the long-term governance of the party and the long-term stability of the country.

  The second is the overall layout of party building in the new era. The general requirements further clarify the overall layout of party building in the new era, that is, "taking the party’s political construction as the guide, taking firm ideals and beliefs as the foundation, and focusing on mobilizing the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of the whole party, comprehensively promoting the party’s political construction, ideological construction, organizational construction, work style construction and discipline construction, and deepening the anti-corruption struggle." This overall layout has grasped the key to Party building in the new era, and summarized the basic contents, key areas and their interrelationships of Party building in the new era. One of the major innovations is to incorporate political construction and discipline construction into the overall layout of Party building, highlighting the leading position of political construction and discipline construction, which is a fundamental policy, reflecting our Party’s profound understanding of communist party’s ruling law and grasping the "bull’s nose" of promoting comprehensive and strict governance of the Party in the new era. This overall layout highlights "taking firm ideals and beliefs as the foundation", indicating that lofty goals, spiritual realm and value pursuit are the "roots" of party building, and we must lay a solid foundation for communist party people’s spiritual pillar and ideological foundation. This overall layout focuses on mobilizing the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of the whole party, emphasizing not only giving full play to the role of party organizations at all levels and all party member, but also respecting party member’s dominant position, inspiring the comrades of the whole party to take responsibility and create enthusiasm, and concentrating the wisdom and strength of the whole party.This overall layout adjusts the system construction from one of the original "five major constructions" to "running the system construction through it", which more clearly reflects the status, function and requirements of the system construction. Emphasizing the in-depth promotion of the anti-corruption struggle has demonstrated our party’s firm determination to maintain discipline and win an overwhelming victory in the anti-corruption struggle.

  The third is the general goal of party building in the new era. The general requirements set the general goal of party building in the new era, that is, "to continuously improve the quality of party building and build the party into a Marxist ruling party that is always in the forefront of the times, wholeheartedly supported by the people, brave in self-revolution, able to withstand all kinds of storms and tests, and full of vitality." The overall goal puts the continuous improvement of the quality of Party building in a prominent position, which means that Party building in the new era must adhere to centering on the center, serving the overall situation, paying attention to connotation, stressing practical results, constantly improving the level of Party building, and achieving tangible results, instead of emphasizing form over quality and engaging in formalism and superficial writing. The overall goal covers many aspects, such as improving the Party’s ruling ability and leadership level, maintaining the Party’s advanced nature and purity, strengthening the flesh-and-blood ties between the Party and the people, constantly enhancing the Party’s "four-self ability", and always maintaining a vibrant political character and spiritual outlook, which constitutes an organic whole, embodies the nature, purpose and program of the Party, and embodies the value orientation, political determination and mission of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people in the new era. To strengthen party building in the new era, we must firmly grasp this general goal and move towards it step by step.

  On the basis of putting forward the general requirements for Party building in the new era, the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has deployed eight key tasks for Party building in the new era. These key tasks involve all aspects and fields of party building, highlight the main contradictions and key issues of party building, embody the general requirements of party building in the new era, and are the practical path to promote the comprehensive and strict management of the party to develop in depth. In order to take root in the general requirements of party building, continuously enhance the party’s political leadership, ideological leadership, mass organization and social appeal, and ensure the smooth realization of the party’s goal in the new era, we must complete these key tasks in a down-to-earth and high-quality manner.

  The general requirements for Party building in the new era and the eight key tasks are an organic whole closely linked, interacting and complementing each other. Among them, the fundamental principle is the basis, and all activities of party building should follow this fundamental principle; The guiding principle is to follow and lead the party building in the right direction, and all activities of party building should implement this principle; The main line is "outline" and "soul", which runs through all aspects and the whole process of party building; The overall layout is the overall arrangement and key areas. When the overall layout is established, the party building will have a clear framework and clear working ideas. The overall goal is direction and standard, and all the work of party building should be strengthened towards this goal and tested according to this standard; The key tasks in eight aspects are the main tasks and the specific ways to achieve the goals. The tasks are clear, and the implementation of the general requirements will have solid support and a strong grasp. To implement the major arrangements for Party building in the new era, we must profoundly understand and grasp the internal relations between them, and persist in coordinated, coordinated and integrated promotion.

  Third, comprehensively implement the general requirements and key tasks of party building in the new era, and solidly promote the comprehensive and strict management of the party.

  The general requirements and key tasks of Party building in the new era put forward in the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China have outlined the blueprint and path of Party building in the new era, and are the top-level design and strategic deployment to further promote the comprehensive and strict management of the Party. All comrades in the party should enhance their sense of historical mission and political responsibility, conscientiously implement the general requirements and key tasks, and push forward the new great project of party building with practical actions.

  First, we should focus on the fundamental construction of the party’s political construction. It is the fundamental requirement of our party as a Marxist political party to take a clear-cut stand and talk about politics. The political construction of the party is the fundamental construction of the party and determines the direction and effect of the party’s construction. It is the primary task of the party’s political construction to ensure that the whole party obeys the central authorities and uphold the authority of the party Central Committee and centralized and unified leadership. The whole party must firmly implement the party’s political line, strictly abide by political discipline and rules, and maintain a high degree of consistency with the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core in political stance, direction, principles and road. We should be serious about inner-party political life, strictly respect party constitution, strictly implement certain norms of inner-party political life under the new situation, strictly implement democratic centralism, and strive to create a clean and upright inner-party political ecology. Strengthen the political and cultural construction within the party, carry forward the values of loyalty, honesty, fairness and decency, seeking truth from facts, honesty and integrity, and resolutely prevent and resist the erosion of all kinds of negative and decadent ideology and culture. Strengthen the exercise of party spirit, constantly improve political awareness and political ability, be loyal to the party, share worries for the party, do their duty for the party, benefit the people, and always keep the political nature of communist party people.

  Second, we must resolutely implement the fundamental task of arming the whole party with Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era. Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era is an ideological system with rich connotation, rigorous logic, complete system and profound knowledge, and it is the guiding ideology that our Party must adhere to for a long time. All comrades in the party should thoroughly understand and accurately grasp its rich connotation, spiritual essence and practical requirements; Deeply grasp the Marxist standpoint, viewpoint and method that runs through it, and grasp the basic strategy of upholding and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. The lofty ideal of communism and the common ideal of Socialism with Chinese characteristics are the spiritual pillar and political soul of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people, and also the ideological basis for maintaining the unity and unity of the Party. We should take firm ideals and beliefs as the primary task of the party’s ideological construction, keep in mind the party’s purpose, stand up the spiritual backbone of communist party people, solve the "master switch" problem of world outlook, outlook on life and values, and consciously become firm believers and loyal practitioners of lofty ideals and common ideals. We should adhere to the principle of integrating theory with practice, combining learning with application, and implement it in all aspects of party building and the whole process of socialist modernization, so that Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era can truly become a powerful ideological weapon and action guide to promote the development of the cause of the party and the country.

  Third, we must promote all aspects of party building in the new era as a whole. Implementing the general requirements and key tasks of party building in the new era is a systematic project, which needs to focus on the overall situation and make overall plans. It is necessary to give full play to the role of Party committees at all levels in taking the overall situation into account and coordinating all parties, adhere to the combination of overall promotion and key breakthroughs, and be good at comprehensively promoting Party building in all aspects and fields, and at grasping major contradictions, highlighting key points and solving key and urgent problems. We should be good at grasping and applying the laws of Party building, making scientific planning, rational design, promoting in an orderly manner, and constantly improving and innovating the ways and means of Party building. We should be good at coordinating and organizing party organizations at all levels and departments, mobilizing all forces, and forming an overall joint force to implement the general requirements of party building and all tasks. We should be good at closely combining strategic deployment with campaign implementation, not only focusing on achieving long-term strategic goals, but also carefully organizing every current campaign to promote the implementation of party building tasks in the new era step by step.

  Fourth, we should implement the spirit of being strict with reality in the whole process of party building in the new era. It is the most distinctive character of our party to be brave in self-revolution and strictly manage the party. The outstanding achievements of strictly administering the Party in an all-round way since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China have provided a strong political guarantee for the development of the cause of the Party and the country. To implement the general requirements and key tasks of party building in the new era, we must adhere to the word "strictness" as the first priority and the word "reality" as the bottom. The understanding and requirements of managing the party should be strict, and we must never have the idea of relaxing and resting our feet. We must always tighten the screws of strictly managing the party; The political life within the party should be strict, the discipline of the party should be strict, the supervision within the party should be strengthened, and a positive and healthy political culture within the party should be developed; The selection and education of cadres should be strict, cadres should be selected and appointed in strict accordance with the standards of good cadres, cadres should be educated and managed in strict accordance with the requirements of the new era and new mission, and efforts should be made to build a team of high-quality professional cadres; Zhengfeng Su has strict minutes, dares to face problems, dares to scrape bones and cure drugs, so that party member and cadres know awe, guard against fear, keep the bottom line, and get used to working and living under supervision and restraint; We should strictly implement the responsibility of managing the party, further expand the coverage of the responsibility system for party building, establish and improve the list of party building responsibilities, improve the mechanism of supervision, assessment and evaluation of party building responsibilities, strengthen accountability, ensure the implementation of responsibilities, and promote the party management from lenient to strict and hard, and constantly open up a new situation of party building in the new era.

Blockchain media number is blocked. Experts call for regulatory rules.

  On the evening of August 21st, WeChat official account, a number of blockchain media, was banned for allegedly publishing information about ICO and virtual currency transactions.

  "It has an impact on the industry in a short period of time, which may make the blockchain industry colder." On the 22nd, Xu Yong, secretary-general of Zhongguancun Angel Investment Alliance and founder of AC Accelerator, said in an interview with Science and Technology Daily that he had received inquiries from many investors early in the morning, and some investors said it was difficult to judge whether there would be more "thunder" in the future, and he would not dare to make relevant investments in the future.

  Media plays an important role in the construction of blockchain ecology.

  Among the closed WeChat official account, many have obtained financing of 10 million yuan in the past few years, some are founded by senior financial media people, and more are controlled by virtual currency business entities or individuals. According to some media surveys, Du Jun, the major shareholder of Golden Finance Network, is the founder of a digital currency stock exchange and node capital, and has the triple status of "media", underwriter and market trader in digital currency.

  This kind of "media" has a strong commercial imprint, and most of them speak for a certain interest group. In fact, this kind of endorsement is not as clear as advertising, but is provided to users together with professional content. "They don’t simply publish newsletters, advertisements and other content, but use a lot of professional and in-depth content ‘ Ring powder ’ Otherwise, it will not become an industry size. " Xu Yong said.

  Xu Yong said that although he has never invested in blockchain media, according to him, the reasons why investors follow the investment are: First, the media is an important part of blockchain ecological construction; Second, the blockchain media in the past will give investors rich returns. "In the past, when it was very hot, these media charged a lot for publishing information. Publishing a newsletter and sending an in-depth article all had corresponding prices." According to some data, blockchain media can charge 100,000 yuan for a soft article with less than 200 hits.

  The importance of media to the ecological construction of blockchain can be read from the investigation of Gartner, an authoritative information analysis company: based on media comments and other information, many leaders believe that blockchain has been realized, but the reality is that it has not reached the production standard.

  There are many channels, and WeChat WeChat official account is just one of them.

  According to some surveys, some public companies that have been blocked have released response information in other ways, some have changed their names, and some have directly given personal micro-signals.

  "A blockchain media company will not only have WeChat WeChat official account." Xu Yong said. Computer network terminal, Weibo terminal, headline number and so on are only spread by words, while there are many ways to spread small videos, audio and other carriers, such as Tik Tok, Himalaya, Youku and so on.

  In addition, new means of communication emerge one after another. For example, a technical discussion post on a professional website introduces a communication tool called telegraph, which directly indicates that it is "in view of the increasingly severe communication monitoring at present". The way of telegraph group has also increasingly become a private, so-called technical discussion group for speculators. At the same time, many software developers imitate WeChat and claim to have developed communication tools with encryption properties, and various tokens can be used for activities such as "red envelopes" and "transfer".

  A letter is difficult, calling for clearer supervision.

  From words to pictures, even audio and video, to more and more diverse communication tools, Xu Yong thinks that "one letter is difficult" in the face of more and more complex regulatory objects.

  "The move of the title has sent a clear signal to the whole society from the relevant regulatory authorities, but we still hope to give the industry a clear norm to clarify what can be done and what can’t be touched." Xu Yong said that in order to promote the healthy development of the blockchain industry, supervision is better than no supervision, and clear supervision is better than vague supervision.

  In addition, the current positioning of blockchain media is not clear, whether it is positioned as media or advertising, and there is no clear statement. Xu Yong said that the state has clear constraints on qualified media, but are these constraints also effective for self-media? If it is positioned as an advertisement, can it be handled in accordance with the provisions of the advertising law? All these need to be further clarified in the system.

  The lack of self-media management system is not just a problem faced by an industry in the blockchain. Previously, the medical industry launched a self-media alliance, expecting to help purify the public opinion environment with industry binding. In the blockchain industry, the trusted blockchain promotion plan is expected to be clarified through the media ad hoc group. Xu Yong said that he expects multiple departments to jointly issue relevant regulatory rules.

Why is the short video marketing of movies frequently vomited?

  Remember the short video "Watch a movie in five minutes"? This kind of fast food commentary based on the film’s release allows everyone to understand the outline of a movie without buying a ticket. Over the years, the film’s own short video marketing has become a common practice. However, problems such as "the goods are not right" and "the preview is the whole film" are exposed, and many deceived viewers complain in the film comment area.

  Short videos make movies have social attributes.

  The viral spread of short video is attractive because its content logic lies in exaggeration and spectacle, picking up high-concentration emotional fragments in the film, not paving the way for a prelude, or selling badly, or sensational, or seeking novelty, and directly giving people conflicts and story climax, including a golden sentence or a look, etc., giving birth to emotional explosion points and triggering everyone’s sense of participation and expression.

  There is also a kind of "suspense" to let everyone know how difficult it is to make a movie, how exquisite the actors are, and how exciting the story is. "Seeing crying" and "laughing crazy" are the key words in such short video comments, which also promotes the rapid sinking and spread of such videos.

  Looking at many explosive movies this year, although the word-of-mouth of many movies has dropped again and again, the box office is riding a dust, which is somewhat related to its short video marketing. Short video marketing is full of flowers and volumes, constantly amplifying the emotional value given by the film and promoting the social nature of the film.

  For example, "She Disappeared", short video marketing tied up hot topics such as anti-love brain, Thai pregnant woman falling off a cliff, deformed show, etc., which were constantly broken; The official short video number of "Put all your eggs in one basket" has a lot of videos around the fraudulent team’s demonic brainwashing slogan and clear division of labor. In particular, the short video material that actor Eric Wang shouted "Want to succeed first" not only made this film hot, but also made the marketing team change its style of play, and put the propaganda focus on the fraudulent leader played by Eric Wang, and finally the popularity continued to increase; Looking at the first part of Feng Shen, the publicity in the early stage took a detour, paying attention to showing the intention of serving the Tao, and was complained by the audience that it was "unable to put down the shelf" and was not grounded enough. After aiming at the short video in the middle and late stage, the film created hot stalks such as "hakimi", "U23" and "Proton Group", which made the topic of Feng Shen soar. The official number of "As Hard as a Rock", such as "Zheng Gang not only has a lover, but even his niece, and Zheng Gang and Xiaowei are actually lovers", has aroused netizens’ curiosity and contributed movie tickets in succession.

  The unexplored clips have all been cut into short videos.

  Undeniably, short video marketing is also a "double-edged sword". On the one hand, the overwhelming promotion of short video slices will raise the audience’s expectation and attract the audience into the cinema. On the other hand, short videos will release the most spectacular clips in advance, which will also easily lead to a psychological gap for the audience after watching the movie.

  This year, this kind of situation is even more prominent. Many films released have been vomited that "short video preview is the essence, and there is no need to go to the cinema to watch the whole film". The previously released Burning Winter itself is a literary film, but in order to cater to the sinking style of short videos, it was promoted as a love triangle story by the film side, and the slogan of "A must-see romance film on Chinese Valentine’s Day" was shouted, which made many viewers who went to the strange mood call out to be cheated.

  The official of "As Hard as a Rock" even "rolled up" the clips that were not shown in the movie into short videos, which led many viewers to ask "Why didn’t I see the clips brushed in the cinema", and some viewers questioned whether the feature film and promotional materials were not on the right board, which was considered fraudulent marketing.

  As a matter of fact, the movie’s efforts to boost box office with short video marketing can be traced back to "Former 3" in 2017, when the segment of "Kelly eats mangoes" and the film Divine Comedy "Decent" and "Say goodbye" became famous in the first world war on the short video platform, which helped the film with a production cost of tens of millions and a douban score of only 55 million to win 1.942 billion box office. However, this year’s National Day copy of "Former 4" was not successful. The "Emotional Confession Bureau" and Kelly’s theme song "Why" did not spread like the previous one.

  The industry should not be dominated by short video marketing.

  Marketing can indeed amplify the value of the film to a certain extent, but its core is still in the film itself.

  Short videos used to promote marketing should also be rich in content, not just crying and laughing. When sensational and miserable selling become the usual routines of short video marketing, it will only lead to disgust and even bite the word-of-mouth of movies. What is more alarming is that short video marketing has not only helped the box office, but also brought negative effects to the film industry. The logic of short video marketing has gradually invaded the film content creation level, making the film slide to the fragmented creation of light logic and heavy climax, which has been reflected in the film market.

  Marketing should be used for movies, and not destroy the movie itself, otherwise it is putting the cart before the horse. Russo brothers, a Hollywood director, once said in an interview that today’s audiences are good at forecasting and analyzing, so they must be very clever in making trailers, and try their best to make the marketing and publicity work not spoil the surprise brought by movies.

  Therefore, the film industry should not be dominated by short video marketing, but should be explored in many ways. The integration of the two should be more organic and benign, so that the primary and secondary order can promote each other, which is the problem that the film industry needs to seriously consider.

  Yangzi Evening News/Zi Niu Journalist Kong Xiaoping

Traffic efficiency increased by 16.7%, and the first all-station-level domestic expressway toll station in China landed in Nanjing.

  The reporter was informed that Nanjing Dongshanqiao Toll Station has five crossings with two entrances and three exits and the whole station information system was officially put into use on October 12, becoming the first Xinchuang Toll Station in China with independent intellectual property rights from the bottom hardware facilities, basic software to the upper toll collection system.

  This information platform independently developed by "Jiangsu Aerospace 706 Information Technology Co., Ltd." deeply integrates the new technology and the development direction of expressway toll service, and pushes China’s expressways to the era of "cloud toll collection", realizing the full autonomy and controllability of China’s expressway information system. While ensuring information security and data security in the transportation field, the average traffic efficiency of bicycles will be improved by 16.7% more effectively. A single site can save energy by 10,000 kWh per year. Only according to the calculation of 135 lanes in 15 stations under the jurisdiction of Nanjing Highway Group, the average annual electricity consumption can reach 400,000 kWh, contributing to the construction of smart Jiangsu and green Jiangsu.

  To undertake the national strategic mission, Jiangsu Aerospace 706 has the courage to take responsibility.

  Don’t look at a small high-speed kilometer toll station. The core software and hardware of the toll collection system used to rely on imports. Documents such as the national "Tenth Five-Year Plan" for scientific and technological innovation in the transportation field put forward the goal of "autonomous control and localization of key core technologies" in the information development of the transportation industry, requiring upgrading the information infrastructure, making efforts to break through the technical problem of "sticking the neck" and realizing high-level scientific and technological self-reliance. Jiangsu, as one of the first batch of 13 pilot units in the construction of a strong transportation country in China, put forward in the "Jiangsu Plan for a Strong Transportation Country" that it is necessary to strengthen the application of high and new technologies and develop the application of key technologies such as Shanghai-Nanjing Smart Expressway.

  According to the "Traffic Power Jiangsu Plan" and the "Guiding Opinions on the Construction of Quasi-free Flow Toll Collection System of Expressway Toll Stations in Jiangsu Province", Jiangsu Aerospace 706 Information Technology Co., Ltd. carried out technical research according to the present situation of expressway toll stations in Jiangsu. In the early stage, under the guidance and organization of Nanjing Highway Group, Jiangsu 706 overcame the double tests of epidemic prevention and control and technical research, went deep into the field and made full investigation, and carried out the development of lane controllers, the construction of simulation test environment, the adaptation and transformation of toll collection software, the optimization and integration of the whole system, and deployed two pilot lanes at Yinxiang toll station. After debugging and optimization, the system equipment has changed from "yes or no" to "good or not", the system control and business in the station are separated, the cloud network integration can be remotely centralized and controlled, and the path, billing and charging are online, which fully realizes more convenient maintenance, smarter service, more efficient processing and safer user and business data. Since its launch, the system has been running safely and smoothly for 4 months, with a cumulative traffic volume of about 390,000 vehicles, and the failure rate has been significantly reduced.

  Jiangsu 706 and Nanjing Highway Group seized the favorable opportunity of the "Traffic+Xinchuang" application scenario pilot, and carried out the promotion of the whole station Xinchuang toll station in Nanjing Dongshan Bridge. Since the operation of the system, 15,292 vehicles have passed by. While retaining the original charging function and operating habits, the modes of toll collectors and drivers and passengers are unchanged, and the traffic is uninterrupted, new functions such as document recording and self-contained QR code scanning have been added, making payment more convenient and traffic smoother. The changes brought about by the opening of the new system can be seen by the naked eye. This time, Nanjing Dongshanqiao toll station, with two entrances and three exits, has "renewed" five crossings and the whole station system, which truly achieved a full coverage of Xinchuang system.

  Fill the gap in domestic technology, benefit the people’s livelihood through double cooperation.

  In the research and development of this system, the lane controller independently developed by Jiangsu Aerospace 706 Information Technology Co., Ltd. has the advantages of high safety, multi-expansion and anti-interference. At the same time, Tianyi server and desktop independently developed in China are adopted, and the China "Core" processor equipped with it has outstanding computing power, security and stability, and gets rid of dependence on foreign technology, thus further ensuring the privacy of user data and the security of business data.

  Xinchuang system equipment expands the vehicle information recording function on the original basis, which can handle the whole process business in real time and efficiently. Compared with the traditional system platform, the traffic time of single vehicle in artificial lane is reduced by 1.5 seconds, the service time is reduced by 15%, and the number of vehicles passing in the same unit time is increased by nearly 20%.

  Compared with the traditional lane controller, the newly developed intelligent lane controller consumes about 35 watts, and the power consumption is only one tenth of the original equipment. Taking five lanes of Dongshanqiao Station as an example, after all business management terminals and servers are replaced by Xinchuang system equipment, it is estimated that the average annual electricity consumption will be about 15,000 kWh. According to the calculation of 135 lanes in 15 stations under the jurisdiction of Nanjing Highway Group, the average annual electricity consumption is about 400,000 kWh, which helps low-carbon life to travel and promote the coordinated development of industrialization and modernization on the basis of energy conservation and environmental protection.

  Xinchuang system can seamlessly connect with the latest technologies and intelligent terminal equipment such as automatic card issuing and charging robots at high-speed crossings, realize flexible customization of related system components, and have good compatibility between software and hardware systems, which improves the degree of lane automation and intelligence, meets the needs of users’ integrated management, and can comprehensively enhance the experience of drivers and passengers’ rapid passage and quality service.

  Compared with the traditional lane controller, the intelligent lane controller is about 80% smaller, lighter, more integrated, and more cost-effective, which effectively reduces the system equipment operation and maintenance costs of expressway operating units, reduces manual work links, reduces system complexity, and improves system data security and work efficiency while meeting the normal traffic rate and stability requirements of expressway toll stations. At the same time, the lane width is compressed, and the land resources are intensive, which provides a strong support for realizing the "narrow island, pavilion and less people" of the station area.

  It is reported that this set of China’s first traffic innovation system with completely independent property rights will be first applied and demonstrated in Nanjing, and under the guidance of the Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology and the Communications Department, key technical research will be carried out for provincial-level central cloud control platform, ETC ramp management system, remote auxiliary system, automatic vehicle identification, etc., and standards and specifications for traffic innovation will be formulated to focus on breaking through key core technical problems, so that "innovation+traffic" will develop more rapidly and the "stuck neck" problem will be solved.

The first report center of the national procuratorate

Event name:Unveiled Economic Crime Reporting Center of Shenzhen Procuratorate, Guangdong Province

Location:Guangdong

Time:March 18th, 1988

In the process of cracking down on economic crimes, procuratorates at all levels pay great attention to relying on the strength of the masses. On March 18, 1988, the economic crime reporting center of Shenzhen Procuratorate of Guangdong Province was unveiled, creating the first reporting center of the national procuratorate, which is of symbolic significance in the reform of the procuratorial system. This move has been fully affirmed and supported by the leaders of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate.

The Supreme People’s Procuratorate is aware that the greatest advantage of reporting work is to organically combine the democratic supervision of citizens with the legal supervision of procuratorial organs, which is a powerful weapon for the people to fight corruption, bribery and other crimes, and also the main source and channel for procuratorial organs to investigate and deal with duty-related crimes committed by state personnel. Soon, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate quickly popularized this advanced experience in the national procuratorial organs.

On June 1, 1988, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China clearly pointed out in the Notice on the Party and State Organs Must Maintain Integrity: "Report centers should be set up in supervisory organs and procuratorial organs at all levels to promptly expose state organs’ staff who use their positions to engage in bribery, corruption, tax evasion, tax refusal, misappropriation of public funds, selling state secrets and other violations of law and discipline."

In May 1991, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate promulgated the Provisions on Protecting Citizens’ Reporting Rights, and reporting clues have become the main source of investigating cases. In May 1994, the Interim Measures of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate for Rewarding and Reporting Meritorious Persons were adopted; In July 1996, the Provisions on Reporting by People’s Procuratorates was promulgated and implemented, which enhanced the transparency of reporting. In 2006, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate tried out the reception work of the next visit in 164 grass-roots procuratorates across the country, and explored a new way of reporting.

The establishment of the report system organically combines the special legal supervision of the state with the democratic supervision of citizens, and has become a powerful weapon and an important means for Chinese citizens to fight against duty crimes, and has also become the main source and channel for judicial organs to discover and master the clues of duty crimes.

FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022’s top four came into being, Portugal was eliminated by Morocco, and Cristiano Ronaldo left the world with a lonely back.

On the one hand, the Moroccan players celebrated crazily, and on the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo, the top star of the Portuguese team, cried in the players’ tunnel … This scene is familiar. Twenty-four hours ago, after the match between Brazil and Croatia, a historical scene happened, but it was Neymar, the top star of Brazil, who cried bitterly.

In the quarter-finals that ended early this morning in Beijing time, Portugal lost 0-1 to Morocco, and missed the semi-finals. Morocco created the best record of African teams in the World Cup.

This World Cup will undoubtedly be a bitter memory for Cristiano Ronaldo, who is 37 years old. I have won almost all the honors, except for a World Cup trophy. Before the game, Ronaldo was also full of ambitions, hoping to realize his dream in Qatar.

C Ronaldo has not been able to bridge the gap between ideal and reality. He and his team fell in the quarter-finals, and the opponent was not a strong team in the traditional sense. But it is the dark horse of Morocco that makes C Ronaldo dream of breaking Qatar. Moreover, at the beginning of the knockout round of the World Cup, 21-year-old Ramos took his place, and the Portuguese star became a substitute.

In this match with Morocco, Cristiano Ronaldo has the opportunity to set many records. The first goal of the individual World Cup knockout, the ninth goal of the individual World Cup, which tied Eusébio for the Portuguese World Cup goals … However, he still sat on the bench.

In 42 minutes, Morocco crossed the restricted area obliquely from the left, Costa made a mistake, and Ennesri jumped high and headed the goal. Morocco led Portugal 1-0. After conceding the goal, the Portuguese team stormed. In the 51st minute, Cristiano Ronaldo came on as a substitute. This was Cristiano Ronaldo’s 196th appearance on behalf of the Portuguese team, which tied the Kuwaiti player Bader Moutawaa and tied for the most appearances of the national team in history.

In the 81st minute, Cristiano Ronaldo knocked back in the restricted area, and Felix made a perfect volley, but Bunu performed very well and saved the ball. In the 90th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo got an excellent chance. His teammate’s direct pass penetrated Morocco’s defense. He cleverly ran away from the defender, but his shot was blocked by Bunu. Ronaldo, who lost the opportunity, is very sorry. He is also very clear that there is not much time left for himself.

After 8 minutes of stoppage time, the Portuguese team failed to recover the defeat. When the referee blew the final whistle, Cristiano Ronaldo walked to the lounge and never looked back, leaving the world with a lonely figure … Cristiano Ronaldo, 37, bid farewell to FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, which is likely to be his last World Cup.

So far, Cristiano Ronaldo has participated in five World Cups and scored goals for five consecutive times. His data in the World Cup is 22 games, 8 goals and 2 assists.

After Portugal was eliminated, Cristiano Ronaldo’s sister wrote on the social platform, "When a group of mice (junior club players) celebrated the victory against Switzerland as a victory against Cristiano Ronaldo, we lost the World Cup … Portugal’s national team is not a club, but a national team, but unfortunately, in Portugal, the lesson still exists."

Reporting/feedback

Dalio, Bridgewater: What are the rules of global rise and fall?

  Times change, countries rise and fall.

  The rise and fall of a country is driven by long-term factors as well as accidental events. At present, during the epidemic period we are experiencing, the performance of the United States lacks global leadership, and the over-issuance of the US dollar has once again made people question its status as an issuer of abuse reserve currency. The newly released International Monetary Fund (IMF) data shows that the proportion of US dollars in global foreign exchange reserves continues to decline, and it fell to 60.89% at the end of 2019, the lowest in recent years, and the proportion of RMB is 1.96%.

  We often follow Bridgewater Dario’s point of view. He believes that in the "great cycle" of national strength, the status change of reserve currency is the slowest. Before that, the change of national strength was already taking place. By studying the long-term history of many countries, we can reveal the most important influencing factors of the great cycle of national strength.

  What are these factors? We share with you Dario’s recent articles published in LinkedIn.

  This article will explain the essential motivation behind the rise and decline of the strongest country in history. This is the essence of the law that I showed when I studied the dynasty changes of the past three reserve currency countries: the Netherlands, Britain and the United States, and six other important powers: Germany, France, Russia, India, Japan and China in the past 500 years. Besides, I also specially studied all the generational changes in China since the Tang Dynasty. In addition to seeing the transfer of wealth and power, we have also seen changes in all aspects of daily life such as science and technology, culture and art. These individual case studies will be elaborated in detail in Part 2. When we switch back and forth between historical cases and the underlying paradigm, we can see how these cases show the underlying paradigm (Fit the archetype) and how the paradigm I summarized can describe the actual situation of these historical cases well (the law reflected by the paradigm will be exactly the sum average of historical events).

  As I mentioned above, the most important task of this article is to show you the eternal and universal operation law behind the world as much as possible and use it for me. For me, this process makes me feel obligated and full of energy. As I mentioned in my previous article, my curiosity and anxiety about the world prompted me to uncover the law behind it, but when I really did research, the whole process brought me a much grander picture of the world than I expected. In my opinion, all this reveals more clearly how people and countries have risen and weakened for thousands of years. Behind these ups and downs, there is a huge cycle that goes hand in hand, but I never realized all this before.

  Although the grand picture I will show you is my independent view, readers, I also need to declare to you that I can’t show you this picture without help from all sides. It comes not only from my hard study in the past 18 months, but also from my deep discussion with top scholars and doers, a lot of hard reading of historical works with profound insights in the past, and the hard research of top research teams, combined with my investment experience in the global scope in the past 50 years. With so much help, it takes courage, humility and continuous efforts to explain the law of the rise and fall of great powers in history, and there is no guarantee that everything I say is correct. However, I am sure that most of what I said is right, and I also understand that this law gives me a strong ability to predict the future, and I can predict scenes that we have never seen in my life, because these things have been happening repeatedly in the historical process of social development. My goal is to make all this clear to you after my hard research and practice, so that it can be used by you.

  01

  Study the screening principles of countries

  Let me make it clear first that the big country we study is not necessarily the country with the best living standard. There are two reasons: first, although wealth and power are what most people pursue, some people and some countries do not think these things are the most important and will not consider fighting for them. For example, some people think that having a peaceful and fulfilling life is more important than having a lot of wealth and power. They don’t pursue wealth and power constantly, so they are not the object of study. Secondly, the countries studied do not include the so-called "boutique countries" (such as Switzerland and Singapore), which have high wealth and living standards, but are not large enough to become big countries.

  How do people acquire wealth and power?

  Let’s look at the big picture. Throughout the well-documented history, various forms of people (such as tribes, kingdoms, countries) have either created themselves or obtained wealth and power from others. When they gather more forces than any other organization, they become the world’s leading forces and then determine the world order. When they lost that power (as every big country did in the past), wealth, power and world order changed greatly, which had a great impact on economy, market and all aspects of life. In this chapter, we will study how many forces jointly determine the ups and downs of this cycle, so as to regularly make the wealth and power of big countries rise first, then maintain, and then decline (Causing the archetypal empire’s wealth and power to rise, be sustained, and then decline).

  With the passage of time, the development of society and the improvement of productivity, the world’s total wealth, total rights and living standards have been continuously improved. In the whole human society, the gains from learning always outweigh the losses. Although due to the differences in education level, work ability and scientific and technological development level, different people’s learning productivity has increased at different speeds. Knowing this, those in power can make better policies and make the country develop better; Investors and company managers can therefore decide how to make better investments. Although the improvement of learning ability and productivity level is of great significance, they are constantly innovating, so they are not the cause of major changes in people with wealth and power.

  The sharp fluctuation of wealth and power is caused by many factors, although I have identified 17 influencing factors, the most important of which is the currency and credit cycle. These powerful forces usually come together in classical cycles, which tend to form a very large ups and downs cycle in a complementary way and appear repeatedly throughout history. This huge archetypical cycle controls the rise and fall of empires, which affects everything, including their currencies and markets. Like the archetypical debt cycle I outlined in Debt Crisis-My Coping Principles, this cycle paradigm represents a typical debt cycle that we can compare with other debtors, including the debt cycle we are in now. Knowing this, we can try to get a glimpse of the future through the gap.

  At the time of writing this article, we see that all these 17 forces are at work, and the most important ones are the debt cycle, the gap between the rich and the poor cycle and the global geopolitical cycle. As mentioned in the previous article, we recently lowered the interest rate to 0% during the economic downturn, and at the same time carried a lot of debts. This has led to a large number of government debts, and central banks are printing money for monetization. At the same time, there is a huge gap in politics and values between countries, and the emerging world power (China) is challenging the current world power (the United States). Although this situation has never happened in our life, it has happened many times in history (the most recent one happened in 1930-45). I will explain to you in this article that we are now experiencing an archetypal big shift in relative wealth and power, and with this change, we will witness the profound changes in the world order that have affected all countries.

  The reason why the transfer of wealth and power between countries is often overlooked is that although it is rapidly forming, it has not suddenly appeared. This neglected but obvious thing shocked us. Most people don’t pay attention to the laws of history, so they can’t accurately understand our current situation. Therefore, in this article, I will describe in a very concise way how I view the archetypical mechanics behind the rise and fall of big countries and their market operations.

  In order to see the whole picture of historical changes, you can’t get too entangled in details.

  If I want to show you all this huge picture called "the changes of human history", then I can’t concentrate on presenting every detail. Similarly, as an appreciation of the scroll, please understand this and try to look at it from a macro and divergent perspective. This is because we are trying to understand and appreciate the evolution and changes that span a long period of history. In order to see these changes, we have to ignore some details. Of course, when we should stop and pay attention to the details (some specific details are very, very important), I will switch from macro narrative to micro-description, so that we can take a closer look at these details.

  Examining what happened in the past from the grand perspective of human historical changes will fundamentally change the way we look at things. For example, many things we take for granted, many words we blurt out, did not exist in most historical periods. Therefore, I will try my best to present the whole historical picture to you vividly, but I won’t get entangled in all the details of history. However, in the cases we studied, I will present you with relatively complete details.

  For example, we should carefully understand the differences between different countries, kingdoms, nations, nations, tribes, empires and dynasties. Nowadays, we mostly talk about (sovereign) countries, but it is well known that sovereign countries did not appear until the 17th century after the Thirty Years’ War in Europe. Generally speaking, there was no modern country before that, only the kingdom could be seen. But in some places today, the kingdom still exists, and the boundaries with sovereign countries are unclear, and some places have both. Generally speaking, the kingdom is the smallest, the country is the second, and the empire is the largest, and the relationship between them is not clear. Britain was a kingdom at first, then evolved into a sovereign country, and finally became an empire whose borders extended beyond England, so that its leaders could control a vast area and many non-Anglo-Saxon people.

  Similarly, each type of political entity (such as country, kingdom, tribe and empire) controls population in different ways, which puzzles those researchers who strive for perfection. In some cases, empire refers to the area occupied by the ruling power; Sometimes it refers to those areas that are influenced by the ruling power through threats and inducements. The British empire occupied the territory of the empire in general, while the United States controlled more countries by relying on the "carrot+stick" strategy. Although this is not entirely correct, at the time of writing, the United States has military bases in 70 countries, so it is obvious that there is an "American empire", but what it refers to is controversial. Anyway, I hope readers understand what I mean: trying to be precise in words may hinder me from conveying more important information. So in this article, you will have to put up with my ubiquitous uncertainty. You also need to understand why I collectively refer to these political entities as countries, even if it is not technically the case.

  Some people may think that it is impossible for me to compare different countries and different systems at different times. I can understand this view, but I assure you that I will try my best to explain any differences, but the similarities between eternity and universality in history far outweigh the differences. It is extremely sad to let differences prevent us from seeing the laws of history clearly.

  03 historical change and the cycle that goes hand in hand.

  As mentioned above, the long-term progress of mankind depends on constantly doing things better, that is, improving productivity. In the long run, learning and constantly improving productivity is the most important force; Although economic cycle fluctuation is also important in the short term, it cannot change the long-term trend. The chart below shows the changes of global per capita production value (estimated real GDP) in the past 500 years, which can also illustrate this point.

  Estimates of global GDP per capita in the past 500 years (based on 2017 US dollars, taking logarithm)

  From this top-down perspective, we can observe that the growth rate of global per capita output was very slow in the early days, but the slope of the growth curve suddenly became steep around 1800, reflecting the rapid improvement of production efficiency. Such changes have benefited from the improvement of the education level of the whole people and the transformation of educational achievements into productive forces. This change is caused by many factors, which can be traced back to the invention of the printing press in Europe in the mid-15th century (China used it very early), which improved the knowledge and education level of more people and contributed to the Renaissance, the scientific revolution, the Enlightenment and the first industrial revolution in Britain.

  The popularization of education has also shifted wealth and power from the agricultural economy to the industrial economy. In the agricultural economy, monarchs, nobles and churches jointly own land and make profits from it; In the industrial economy, capitalists create and own the means of production, and together with the (secular) government, they maintain a system that enables them to make profits and take power for a long time. In other words, this system has been operating since the industrial revolution; In this system, wealth and power come from the combination of educational resources, innovative ability and capitalist system, and are controlled by those in power and those who control capital and educational resources.

  However, behind the track of relatively steady increase in productivity, it is a turbulent era that witnessed prosperity and depression and experienced revolution and war. However, these turbulent periods are still weak relative to the long-term progress trend, so they only show a weak swing in the chart. These swings seem intense to us as individuals, but only because our lives are short and small.

  Take the Great Depression and the war between 1929 and 1945 as an example. For us, these 17 years have been long and full of shock. The following chart reflects this period (economic situation), which is taken from the above line chart (reflecting the 200-year change). As you can see, GDP per capita fell by about 10% during the Great Depression, and then recovered, while the US stock market fell by 85%. The Great Depression was followed by World War II, which increased the production of munitions. However, due to the destruction of a large number of means of production, it is inaccurate to call this period "the era of mass production", even on a per capita basis. At the end of the war, the global per capita GDP dropped by about 12%, a large part of which was caused by the economic collapse of the defeated countries.

  It can be seen that between 1929-1933 and 1944-46, the global per capita GDP dropped by 10% and 12% respectively.

  Although the first chart I showed reflects the productivity of the world (to the best of our ability), it does not show the transfer of wealth and power between countries. The chart below shows the relative wealth and national strength of 11 world powers in the past 500 years. This wealth and power index is calculated by eight indicators, which I will introduce in detail later. Even though these data are not accurate due to the age, they still perfectly reflect the macro trend. As you can see, almost all big countries have experienced a period of rise and decline. Thick lines are the four most important big countries: the Netherlands, Britain, the United States and China, which have respectively mastered the three recent reserve currencies in history. It is the present tense for the United States, the past tense for Britain, and earlier for the Netherlands. I mention China because it has grown into the second most powerful country and remained so powerful for most of the time before 1850.

  Medium-short period evolution

  The chart shows: 1. Although China’s position declined sharply after the 19th century, it has been in a dominant position for centuries (always surpassing Europe in commodity trade); 2. As a relatively small country, the Netherlands became the greatest empire in the world in the 17th century. 3. Britain followed the Dutch model and reached the peak of its national strength in the 19th century; 4. In the end, the United States surpassed several countries and remained a world power for 150 years, especially after World War II and the war. Today, China is catching up.

  The next chart dates back to 600 AD. In order to make the chart look simple, I included 500 years in the above chart. Although 11 countries, 12 major wars and a long history of 500 years can hardly be described as "simple". Long-period evolution

  As the picture shows, 1500 years ago, China was almost always the most powerful, although the Arab Empire, French Empire, Mongolian Empire, Spanish Empire and Ottoman Empire also rose.

  How do we measure the wealth and power level of a country?

  In the first two charts, I measure the wealth and national strength of countries, which is basically obtained by averaging eight indicators. They are 1. Education; 2. Competitiveness; 3. the level of science and technology; 4. Economic output; 5. Trade share; 6. Military strength; 7. Strength of financial center and 8. Reserve currency. We will further discuss the measure of power later, but let’s focus on these eight key elements first.

  Taking the year when China became the world’s largest country as the origin, we list the changes of various indicators in each of the 120 years before and after. The following table is the average data of many countries, but most of the weights are given to three countries with reserve currencies (namely, the United States, Britain and the Netherlands).

  Paradigm law

  These charts tell a good story about how great powers rise and fall. I will introduce other factors later, but before I do, let me briefly introduce the cycle. The first thing to note is that all these indicators are curved before and after the rise of great powers, because these indicators always complement each other. That is, the advantages and disadvantages in education, competitiveness, economic output and world trade share can be logically transformed into other advantages or disadvantages. For example, well-educated people will create a more innovative, competitive and productive society.

  I call this up-and-down swing of national strength "the great cycle". Please pay attention to the order in which these factors influence each other, because it reflects the process of the rise and fall of big countries. For example, education is always the leading indicator, but the change of reserve currency status is long overdue. This is because a strong education will bring advantages to most fields, including creating the most widely circulated currency in the world. Like the common language in the world, habit will amplify the strength of money itself and make it circulate more permanently.

  04 great cycle

  Broadly speaking, we can divide the rise and decline of empire into three stages: 1. The rise stage is characterized by gaining competitive advantage; 2. In its heyday, the country maintained its strong strength, but gradually laid a bitter fruit for losing its competitive advantage; And 3. In the weak stage, the self-strengthening mechanism in all aspects of the country has declined.

  In short, a country can only go uphill when it has the following characteristics:

  1. Strong and promising leadership: the premise of all successful elements.

  2. Good education: including teaching knowledge and skills.

  3. Rock-solid virtues, civic literacy and strong professional ethics: they are passed down through school and family education, and help civil society achieve the following achievements, such as:

  Low corruption rate and high respect for social rules such as the rule of law.

  People can not only unite, but also have a consensus on why they need to unite: when a group of people with abundant knowledge, advanced skills, good virtues and good civic literacy unite, they will create:

But China is also developing its financial system with Shanghai as the center.) These expanding empires have …

  14. Strong stock, currency and credit markets: The currencies of countries that dominate trade and capital flows naturally become the first choice for trading media and wealth reserves, and develop into reserve currencies. According to this logic, when the Dutch empire dominated, the Dutch guilder was the global reserve currency; During the British Empire, the pound inherited this status. When the US dollar became the global reserve currency in 1944, the United States was only one step away from winning World War II, and it was obviously in a leading position in economy, finance and military affairs. Using a country’s currency as a reserve currency will naturally give the country stronger borrowing and purchasing power. As shown in the above figure, the opportunity for a country to gain or lose its status as a global reserve currency is much later than its other strengths.

  Through unremitting efforts and other complementary factors, the empires achieved their rise and maintained their national strength. The founders of those empires coordinated economic, political and military strength, and built an economic-political-military system that constantly benefited from the international community. The Dutch founded the Dutch East India Company, Britain founded the British East India Company, and the United States had a military-industrial complex. Facts have proved that this kind of economic, political and military cooperation is essential to the expansion of the empire.

  However, the development of the empire always has its platform period, which is because behind the success of the country’s rise, it also lays the groundwork for future weakness. Specifically, it includes:

  During the boom, people’s income increased, making labor more expensive; Compared with countries with lower wages for the same job, competitiveness naturally declines.

  The development model of the most successful countries will be imitated by emerging competitors, and shine on you is often superior to Blue, which makes the leaders lose their competitive advantage. During the British-Dutch hegemony, the labor cost of British shipyards was lower than that of the Netherlands; Therefore, the former chose to hire Dutch engineers to design ships with higher cost performance than the Netherlands. Because the cost of time and money required for copying is less than that of invention and creation, other things being equal, emerging empires hitchhike in mature countries through copying.

  In those countries that are born rich, people will reduce their workload and engage in more leisure and low-productivity activities; In extreme cases, it becomes decadent and incompetent. Especially when the backbone of society changes from a generation that must work hard to succeed to a generation that inherits wealth, the younger generation is often fragile and inexperienced, and it is more likely to be defeated when confronted with challenges. As time goes by, people in these prosperous societies are more eager to pursue a leisurely and luxurious life, so they do not hesitate to lose their strength, create bubbles, and finally become more vulnerable.

  The richest and most powerful countries have the status of global reserve currency, which gives them the privilege of borrowing a lot, so that they are caught in a debt trap. A large number of loans have enhanced the consumption power of hegemonic countries in the short term, but in the long run it is just the opposite. In other words, when lending and consumption are strong, hegemonic countries seem to be strong, but their financial strength is eroded. This lending model enables domestic people to over-consume, and provides funds for expanding the army and launching wars to enhance forces other than basic national strength. This model can be maintained for a period of time, even self-strengthening, thus increasing the interest return of creditor countries, thus enhancing the status of reserve currency.

  When rich countries borrow money from developing countries, it is also one of the early signs of wealth transfer. In the 1980s, the per capita income of the United States was 40 times that of China, but at that time, China had begun to buy US Treasury bonds because the US dollar was the global reserve currency. At the same time, it also became the starting point for China to catch up with the United States. Similarly, Britain borrowed heavily from much poorer colonies during World War II; The Netherlands did something similar before its national strength went downhill, but when the creditors refused to hold and sell the Dutch guilder, the Dutch debt structure collapsed instantly, and its monetary status and economic situation plummeted. The United States has also borrowed a lot of money and reduced its debt by issuing more money, but this has not shaken the status of the dollar and the US debt for the time being.

  When the number one power keeps "expanding its territory" until it is no longer worthwhile to maintain it, the cost of maintaining the system becomes higher than the income. The unprofitable global power system will further hit its financial situation, as is the case in the United States today.

  Because of unequal distribution, the success of economic development naturally widens the gap between the rich and the poor. Those who have wealth and power (such as those who profit from business activities or those in the government) take care of each other and maintain a system that is beneficial to them, while ordinary people lag far behind until the polarization between the rich and the poor has become intolerable injustice. The same is true in the United States today.

  The foreshadowing of decline is always buried in the golden age, and the prosperous country will gradually decline in the downward trend. This decline is due to the fact that when the country is going downhill, the power that can compete with it has developed relatively in the above-mentioned fields.

  When the national debt is high, the central bank can only make ends meet in the face of a weak economy, and the downward state leads to more debt and economic problems, the country has to print a lot of money and devalue its currency.

  If the gap between the rich and the poor widens infinitely, social values are polarized, and economic pressure (no matter where the pressure comes from) cannot be released, it will be easy for the rich and the poor to fight, and the initial conflicts will intensify later. This usually encourages political extremism, that is, populism of reformists (people who try to redistribute wealth) and conservatives (people who want wealth to be in the hands of rich people such as capitalists). Both democratic and centralized countries may become the soil of populism.

  When the rich are worried that their wealth will be taken away, or they will become the target of public criticism, they will transfer their wealth and life to places, assets or currencies that they think are safer. If this transfer is not explicitly prohibited, it will erode the tax and income of the place where the assets are transferred out, making it experience a typical vicious circle of asset hollowing out. Shrinking tax revenue is even worse, aggravating the tense situation, increasing tax revenue, forcing more rich people to leave, and other worse consequences. For example, we now observe that the root of some social problems is that the rich have fled the state with higher taxes because they don’t want to face the financial pressure and the gap between the rich and the poor. When the hollowing out of assets is too serious, the government will come forward to stop it-it is forbidden to continuously collect funds from the lost places to their new places, assets or currencies, and people who want to protect themselves will feel panic.

  Events that shake the foundation will devour the country’s productive forces. The size of the wealth cake is a little smaller, and people are fighting for shrinking resources; The cake is drying up day by day, and people are fighting over how to distribute it. Populist leaders of different camps are clamoring hard in the wrestling, hoping to control the situation and reorganize the order. At this time, democracy is particularly precarious compared with centralization. This is why in the 1920s and 1930s, Germany, Japan, Italy and Spain (as well as some small countries) were all centralized and pulled out the flag of the democratic camp, while the major democratic countries (the United States, Britain and France) also had the shadow of centralization. It is generally believed that in chaotic times, centralized and rapid decision-making is preferable to democratic decision-making based on discussion. Therefore, when the mass struggle against discipline and resorting to violence appears, the movement is not without merit.

  If a country has strong enough economic, geopolitical and military forces to challenge the existing dominant forces, then there are many potential conflicts between these competing powers. Because there is no system for peaceful adjudication of such disputes, conflicts have to be resolved through a head-on contest.

  When the cost of maintaining the image of a big country is greater than the income it brings, the economic strength of the country is hollowed out. At the same time, other countries are on the rise, and the big countries that are already strong in the outside world do not want to give away their interests. This state will make a strong country face economic and military threats. In order to maintain its status as a big country, military spending has been expanding again and again, but the domestic economy has been depressed, making it more difficult for leaders to collect taxes and making them need more domestic support. Seeing this dilemma, the enemy countries have chosen to strike at the beginning of the signs of the decline of great powers. Then, the big countries will face the difficult choice of facing or retreating economically and militarily.

  If other external shocks, such as natural disasters (plague, drought or flood), occur in a fragile period when big countries are struggling to cope with internal and external troubles, it is tantamount to injecting another destructive force into the process of national decline.

  It is also a problem when the number of people in a country who are vegetarian is not enough for the country to win in this cycle. Of course, since each leader is only responsible for a short part of this cycle, they can only solve problems on the basis left by their predecessors, which means that the National Games can control everything better than the leaders.

  In a word, due to the improvement of productivity, cakes are constantly expanding, and some cycles have emerged.

  The construction period of the country’s peak. Due to:

  1. Relatively low debt level

  2. Relatively small wealth, value and political views gap.

  3. People work together to create prosperity.

  4. Good education and infrastructure

  5. Competent leadership.

  6. A peaceful world order led by one or more major powers.

  When it flourished and declined, the country went to a period of deconstruction and reorganization. The reason for the country’s prosperity has gone to the opposite side and turned into a fatal weakness:

  1. High debt

  2. A huge gap in wealth, value and political views.

  3. The cooperation between nationals broke down and they turned to attack each other.

  4. Backward education and infrastructure

  In order to maintain the state of over-expansion, great powers have gone through a painful period of struggle, destruction and reorganization under the challenge of new rising forces, which has given birth to a new order and laid the foundation for the coming of a new era.

  Generally speaking, the 17 characteristic indicators in the figure below are the main forces driving the rise and fall of a country. For any country, the more each feature deviates to the left, the greater the possibility of its rise; The more you shift to the right, the greater the possibility of weakness. World powers tend to show more left-leaning characteristics, and under a virtuous circle, they continue to become stronger; However, if the management is not good, each characteristic index will shift to the right, and the country will go weak. At this time, new competitors can take the opportunity to rise, properly manage each characteristic index, and gradually the situation of strength has changed.

  17 factors affecting the rise and fall of a country

  In short, this is the reason why the rise and decline of great powers occur periodically. Now, I want you to do a little exercise: think carefully about whether the position of each characteristic index is to the left or to the right for the country/region you are interested in. What about the United States and China? What other countries are there? Make a judgment based on your intuition and compare it with my idea later. I will make a more systematic analysis of the characteristic indicators of these big countries later.

  These positive and negative factors are actually intertwined and affect each other, bringing great changes to society. It is no coincidence that the huge gap between the rich and the poor, the debt crisis, the revolution, the war and the changes in the world pattern almost happened at the same time. The following picture outlines the history of the rise and fall of every big country very clearly. As shown in the shaded area in the figure below, the destruction and reorganization caused by depression, revolution and war have largely destroyed the old system and laid the foundation for the emergence of new systems. These great depressions often occur every 10 to 20 years, but there may be more variables in this time period. Followed by a beautiful new world, no country is willing to compete with the world hegemon for the top spot, and well-behaved people begin to work and develop harmoniously. Usually, these beautiful periods can last for 40 to 80 years, but there will be great fluctuations. In the above two big cycles, there are also some small cycles, such as short-term debt crisis/business cycle, which last for 7 to 10 years.

  Reserve currency cycle

  For example, the decline of a Dutch power gives way to a British power, or Britain gives way to the United States. Most of the following things will happen in this process:

  Debt restructuring and debt crisis are internal conflicts in countries, which eventually lead to the redistribution of wealth, the collapse of the status of foreign war reserve currency and the collapse of a new generation of domestic and international order

  The last Great Depression occurred in 1930-45, which promoted the reconstruction period that began in 1945. More specifically, the collapse and reorganization of the monetary and credit system led to the depression in 1930-45, which led to the establishment of a new global monetary system (Bretton Woods system) based on the dollar in 1944. The huge gap between the rich and the poor in the Roaring 20s narrowed due to depression and war, which led to a fundamental change in the distribution of wealth and rights, and the global war also changed the world pattern. After 1945, everything has undergone earth-shaking changes. The United States became the world hegemon, the gold standard shifted, and a global monetary and credit system based on the dollar was established.

  Translator’s Note: This refers to the 1920s in the western context, which was a period of sustained economic prosperity. In the past ten years, it covered countless exciting events, so some people called it "the most colorful era in history".

  In this new world dominated by the United States, the United States has taken the lead in wealth, economic strength and military strength. It is the richest country with 80% of the world’s gold reserves; It is a country with the highest economic strength in the world, and its production capacity accounts for half of the world’s output; It is also a military power with absolute advantages, monopolizing nuclear weapons and having the most powerful conventional forces. However, after 75 years, the world pattern has also undergone fundamental changes, which we will discuss further in the following chapters. At that time, we will also try to predict and interpret the possible future development direction.

  Next, we will study each indicator more carefully. In the last chapter, I will summarize all these indicators and carefully infer how to make our future better in view of our current situation. In the second part, I will make a detailed interpretation of each country’s case.

  [1] Short-term cycle evolution chart

  As for the above figure, these indexes consist of many different statistical data, some of which can be directly compared, while others are only an estimate. The data in some countries are always discontinuous, so different data need to be spliced together. It should be noted that the line shown on the chart is the 30-year moving average of these indexes, and I have adjusted it, so there will be no lag. The moving average is chosen because it is less volatile and can filter out a lot of noise, making the direction of the big period clearer. For a longer-term interpretation, I will use these curves smoothed by the moving average; On the contrary, for some more detailed interpretations, the unprocessed curve may contain more information.

  [2] Chart of Paradigm Law

  Regarding the above figure, we show the relationship between these key indicators and history by anchoring specific time periods in history. The value "1" on the Y axis represents the peak value of this indicator relative to history, and "0" represents the bottom. The X-axis, that is, the time axis, is displayed in units of years, where "0" roughly represents the time when many indicators of the country reach the peak. In the rest of this section, we will introduce the stages of paradigm law in more detail. As for the indicator of global reserve currency, we will focus on China. Although it has been a big country for centuries, its currency has never become a global reserve currency. The reasons behind this are worthy of our further study.

Internet of things opens the era of Internet of Everything.

The word "InternetofThings" was born 15 years ago. In recent years, this "tall thing" has gradually entered our lives. The Internet of Things can connect all objects in a specific space environment, carry out anthropomorphic information perception and collaborative interaction, and has the behavioral ability of self-learning, processing, decision-making and control, thus completing intelligent production and service. At present, the Internet of Things is promoting the transformation of human society from "informationization" to "intelligence" and promoting great changes in information technology and industry. In the near future, the Internet of Things will powerfully change the environment in which we live and work, and bring us into an intelligent world.

The technical idea of Internet of Things is "connecting everything according to demand"

At the World Summit on the Information Society in 2005, the International Telecommunication Union formally put forward the concept of "Internet of Things", suggesting that the ubiquitous communication era of "Internet of Things" is coming, and all objects in the world, from tires to toothbrushes, from houses to paper towels, can actively exchange information through the Internet.

The technical idea of the Internet of Things is "connecting everything on demand". Specifically, all objects (including all entities and virtual physical objects and terminal equipment) that can be independently identified, including people, machines and objects, are connected everywhere according to requirements through various network technologies and information sensing equipment such as radio frequency identification (data exchange through radio to achieve information identification), infrared sensors, global positioning systems and laser scanners, and information transmission and collaborative interaction are carried out. In order to realize the intelligent information perception, identification, location, tracking, monitoring and management of objects, and build an intelligent service environment with the ability of anthropomorphic knowledge learning, analysis and processing, automatic decision-making and behavior control among all objects.

The information society is developing from the Internet era to the Internet of Things era. If the Internet takes people as the object of connection and service, then the Internet of Things is to expand the object of information network connection and service from people to things, so as to realize the "Internet of Everything". There are also differences in the demand satisfaction between the two: in the Internet age, the task of information network is to meet the demand of public information transmission; In the era of Internet of Things, the task of information network is to meet the specific requirements of intelligent services, which are mutually supportive and indispensable.

The future intelligent service system under the Internet of Things environment will become an important infrastructure in the future society. As the key to the technological innovation of the Internet of Things, the intelligent service system maps and cooperates the physical space of the real environment with the information space of the virtual environment to realize the integration of communication, calculation and control. Intelligent service system enables things and people to interact actively in a new way, thus knitting an intelligent collaborative network with endogenous interconnection in the physical world.

Remodeling the mode of production organization and promoting the industrial revolution

The Internet of Things has become an important driving force for the new round of global scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation. Driven by the rise of concepts, guided by demonstration applications, remarkable technological progress and gradual maturity of industries, the Internet of Things is accelerating its transformation into real scientific and technological productivity. If the technology that affects production tools and products will bring quantitative change, then the Internet of Things technology will bring qualitative change, because it will reshape the production organization. The technology industry of Internet of Things is developing rapidly around the world, and it is merging with manufacturing technology, new energy and new materials, stepping into the eve of industrial revolution and ushering in a great development era.

With the popularization of Internet of Things applications, trillions of new devices with different application requirements, such as smart wearable devices, smart home appliances, intelligent networked cars, intelligent robots, smart medical care, farmland water conservancy and municipal buildings, will be connected to the network. These applications are growing explosively and will form massive data, which will promote the production, life and social management to be more intelligent, networked and refined, and promote economic and social development to be more intelligent and efficient.

Integration and development with other high-tech technologies is an important feature of Internet of Things technology. At present, the Internet of Things is promoting the penetration of next-generation information technologies such as 5G, narrowband Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, blockchain and edge computing into various fields, triggering major changes in the global industrial division of labor. In terms of networking, low-power WAN technology is rapidly emerging and gradually commercialized around the world, and the standardization process of 5G technology for wide coverage and low latency scenarios of the Internet of Things is accelerating. At the same time, industrial Ethernet, short-distance communication and other related communication technologies have developed rapidly, providing good technical support for the intelligent on-demand networking and interconnection of people, machines and things. In information processing, information perception, knowledge representation, machine learning and other technologies have developed rapidly, greatly improving the intelligent data processing capability of the Internet of Things. In terms of virtual platform of Internet of Things, digital twinning and operating system, based on the wide application of cloud computing and open source software, the ecological threshold for enterprises to build is effectively lowered, and the progress of public service platform and operating system of Internet of Things is promoted worldwide.

The Internet of Things brings digital and intelligent changes, which can change many industries. One of the most representative concepts is the "industrial Internet". In 2011, after the concept of "Industry 4.0" was first put forward by Germany, many countries have followed suit. The concept of "industrial Internet" proposed by General Electric Company of the United States is a high integration of global industrial systems with advanced computing, analysis, sensing technology and the Internet, which means connecting people, data and machines on the basis of the Internet of Things, so that equipment, production lines, factories, suppliers, products and customers can cooperate closely with each other on demand, comprehensively apply big data analysis technology and remote control technology, and optimize the operation and maintenance of industrial facilities and machines. Improve the intelligent level of industrial manufacturing through networked intelligent means, and form an interconnected industrial chain across equipment, systems, factories and regions, thus improving efficiency and promoting the intelligence of the entire manufacturing service system. As an important support for the development of China’s intelligent manufacturing industry, the industrial Internet has been highly valued by the Chinese government. The 13th Five-Year Plan, the State Council’s Guiding Opinions on Actively Promoting internet plus Action and Guiding Opinions on Deepening the Integration and Development of Manufacturing Industry and the Internet all clearly put forward the development of industrial Internet.

Due to the bright future, all countries in the world are accelerating to seize the development opportunities of the Internet of Things industry. At the industrial level, related large companies have formulated the development strategy of the Internet of Things, and quickly laid out key industries and key links in the industrial chain through cooperation and mergers and acquisitions, so as to enhance their position in the whole industry. Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu, Amazon, Apple, Intel, Qualcomm and other world-renowned enterprises have all laid out the Internet of Things from different links and levels.

Intelligent production and intelligent life are opening.

The development of the Internet of Things has drawn a beautiful blueprint for the intelligent world for human society. Then, from the abstract concept to the concrete application, how does the Internet of Things relate to our production and life?

At present, the practical application of the Internet of Things has made remarkable achievements in manufacturing, agriculture, home, transportation and car networking, medical and health care and other fields. At present, the number of active Internet of Things terminal devices in the world has exceeded 50 billion, and the trillion-dollar vertical industry market is emerging.

In terms of production, the Internet of Things has a far-reaching impact on industry and agriculture. At present, the industrial Internet environment can obtain and analyze data from the terminal devices connected to the network. Combined with the remote monitoring and control equipment to monitor the industrial system, it can realize the seamless integration of various manufacturing equipment with sensing, identification, processing, communication, driving and networking functions. The related production materials are electronically identified by technologies such as radio frequency identification to realize the intelligent management of production process and supply chain, and the real-time collection and data analysis of production status information are strengthened by technologies such as sensors to improve efficiency and quality, and promote safe production and energy conservation and emission reduction.

In the field of smart agriculture, the Internet of Things helps "intensive cultivation". By collecting data of temperature, rainfall, humidity, wind speed, plant diseases and insect pests and soil content of planting environment, intelligent processing and decision-making of farming can be realized. Even the data obtained from the Internet of Things can be applied to the precise fertilization plan, so as to minimize the risk and waste and reduce the workload required for crop management.

In life, home, transportation, medical care and health are all places where the Internet of Things comes into play. Smart home integrates information technology with indoor goods and facilities, people’s indoor life, safety protection and other aspects to promote the informationization and intelligence of home and security services. For example, voice control can help users with poor eyesight or mobility difficulties, alarm systems can be connected to cochlear implants worn by users, and monitoring systems can also alarm health accidents such as falls or epilepsy. Intelligent transportation and car networking are also inseparable from the Internet of Things technology. Seamless connection between different elements can realize various scene applications such as in-vehicle and out-of-vehicle communication, intelligent traffic control, intelligent parking, electronic toll collection system, vehicle management control and so on. For example, in the management of logistics fleet, we can check the position and status of goods through wireless sensors and send an alarm when it is abnormal. Smart medical care can realize rapid tracking and positioning of drugs and health care products by using Internet of Things technology, and reduce supervision costs; By establishing a clinical data application center, precision medical applications based on intelligent perception of the Internet of Things and big data analysis can be developed; You can also make full use of smart wearable devices (smart bracelets, smart rings, etc.) and radio frequency identification technologies to collect residents’ health information and establish a cloud service platform for innovative management of health big data.

The Internet of Things has become one of the important trends in the development of global information technology, and its appearance and rise have brought rare opportunities for China’s scientific and economic development. We should seize the opportunity to create the future and build an intelligent digital China.(Author:Zhu Hongbo,Director of china institute of communications Internet of Things Committee)
