Create a chip "iron curtain"? The American system won’t work.

It is reported that under the constant pressure from the United States, the United States and Japan are close to reaching an agreement to restrict the export of chip technology to China. The United States has been blocking China’s semiconductor industry for some time, not only making frequent moves against China, but also wooing countries in the semiconductor industry chain to increase export control to China. The practice of the United States is not only an abuse of export control measures, but also a serious departure from free trade and international economic and trade rules.

In recent years, the United States regards the chip industry as a key area of competition with China. The United States has spared no effort to block the development space of China’s chip industry, from wooing allies to jointly contain China to issuing the Chip and Science Act to heavily subsidize local semiconductor manufacturers, from the "core restriction order" against Huawei to a number of control "patches" around the export of advanced semiconductor products and technologies to China, from chips to equipment for producing chips. In the past few months, the U.S. government has sent officials to Japan and the Netherlands several times to discuss how to coordinate export control rules and pressure these allies to follow U.S. policies. However, in today’s highly globalized division of labor in the chip industry, the United States forcibly "decoupled" from China, which not only dealt a heavy blow to local chip manufacturers in the United States, but also seriously threatened the safety of the global semiconductor supply chain.

In April this year, the Federal Reserve Bank of new york, a subsidiary of the Federal Reserve Board of the United States, issued an assessment report, pointing out that export control measures against China "have brought great harm to American enterprises". For example, after losing customers in China, many American companies failed to find new customers and were forced to reduce jobs. For another example, the export control measures to China have caused the stock prices of relevant American suppliers to fall abnormally, and the market value of American enterprises has "evaporated" by 130 billion US dollars in recent years. It is precisely because of foreseeing the "backward force" of American policy that the executives of American chip companies, such as Intel, Qualcomm and NVIDIA, tried to lobby the American government not to cut off contact with China, the largest market, otherwise it would damage the efforts made by the United States in technological innovation and eventually lead to the loss of competitive opportunities in the semiconductor field. The American Semiconductor Industry Association warned that too broad unilateral regulation will only damage the American semiconductor ecosystem and will not promote "national security".

In addition to involving local enterprises in the whirlpool of Sino-US game, the United States has been putting its allies in the geopolitical gap through pressure. The logic of the United States is very simple. To achieve the goal of blocking the development space of China’s science and technology industry, it is necessary for allies to cooperate in unison. However, American allies are well aware of the risks and costs of the "anti-Chinese chip alliance", and blindly following the United States will only bring them pain. In order to avoid becoming a victim of the US strategy to contain China, some countries have tried their best to strike a "balance", and some enterprises have racked their brains to avoid the US ban. Martin Joel Zengpa, a senior researcher at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, an American think tank, wrote that if the United States wants to convince its allies and follow them, it needs to provide more reasonable explanations about "national security" to convince its allies that these measures are not to serve the commercial interests of American enterprises.

The United States has made great efforts to make China’s scientific and technological progress stumble. What it didn’t expect was that the export control to China had an "unexpected counter-effect"-accelerating China’s scientific and technological self-reliance. Huawei, which was "cut off" by the United States, is a typical example of its "upward transformation" under the heavy hammer. Huawei recently released the world’s first three-fold screen mobile phone, which triggered a strong market response. Paul Triolo, a scholar at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in the United States, wrote in the magazine American Affairs that since the United States imposed large-scale export control on China, with the continuous efforts of China enterprises and the attention of the China government, the semiconductor industry in China has undergone positive changes, the industrial structure has become more complex and diverse, and the investment types have become more novel. It is expected that there will be more new technological breakthroughs in the next few years.

The formation and development of global chip industry chain supply chain is the result of the joint action of market law and enterprise choice. For political purposes, artificial restrictions or forced "decoupling" violate the market economy and the principle of fair competition, undermine the international economic and trade order, disrupt the stability of the global industrial chain supply chain, and ultimately harm the interests of the world. In the long run, the United States’ attempt to build an "iron curtain" of chips can’t stop the development of China, and the initiative of the rise and breakthrough of China’s chip industry is in its own hands.

Company invoices can’t be "three guarantees"? Different invoices should be treated the same.

  Mr. Yao spent more than 30 thousand yuan online to buy a computer and issued an invoice for the unit. Unexpectedly, after the arrival of the goods, he found that there was something wrong with the computer hardware, but when he communicated with the customer service staff, he was told that because it was a corporate invoice, he could not enjoy the package return service within 7 days, and he could only handle it after being tested by the technical department. After consulting Lenovo, Apple, Huawei and other parties, the Beijing Morning Post reporter found that Lenovo has the same regulations except Dell. Experts in the legal field pointed out that producers and sellers should not be exempted from the "three guarantees" obligation just because they are purchased by enterprises.

  Company invoices can’t be "three guarantees"?

  Mr. Yao told the Beijing Morning Post reporter that he placed an order in Dell official website on October 6th, spent 33,137 yuan to buy the latest products, and issued an enterprise invoice. Because the other party delayed delivery, he only received the computer on November 10th, and he opened it with great joy only to find that the computer had hardware problems. "The new machine is useless and there is a problem. I feel unreliable and I will return it to the after-sales. As a result, the other party said that because I opened a corporate invoice, I could not enjoy the related services of 7-day return and 15-day exchange. "

  This made Mr. Yao very upset. Originally, he just asked for the issuance of corporate invoices. I didn’t expect this move to cause a lot of trouble. Yesterday, the Beijing Morning Post reporter dialed the telephone number of the staff responsible for Mr. Yao’s pre-sales. The other party said that he had reminded Mr. Yao when he made an invoice for shopping, but Mr. Yao insisted on issuing a corporate invoice. "We have relevant regulations, and only consumers who issue personal invoices can enjoy ‘ Three guarantees ’ Services cannot be enjoyed by opening corporate invoices. " The staff said that they have contacted the technical department at present, and hope that Mr. Yao will cooperate with the technical department to check, confirm the computer problems and help solve them.

  At Dell’s official customer service office, the reporter got a similar reply. The other party said that because the enterprise invoice is issued, Mr. Yao can ask the technical department to come to the door for inspection through the after-sales process. "Generally, only maintenance and exchange are supported, and no return can be made."

  Invoice treatment is not the same.

  Can’t you enjoy the "three guarantees" service if you open an enterprise invoice for shopping? With questions, the reporter dialed the customer service telephone numbers of many enterprises in official website as consumers, but did not get a unified answer.

  HP customer service staff said that no matter whether the invoice is issued by individuals or enterprises, as long as the machine system is not activated, you can enjoy the "three guarantees" service. "Whether it is a personal purchase or a corporate purchase has nothing to do with returning goods."

  Huawei’s customer service also said that consumers can choose the nature of invoicing by themselves, and it will not affect the "three guarantees" policy and other after-sales services. "Whether it is a computer or a mobile phone, corporate purchases and personal purchases enjoy the same after-sales service." In addition, Apple, LeTV and other customer service also said that issuing corporate invoices does not affect consumers’ enjoyment of the "three guarantees" service.

  However, Lenovo and other official customer service, like Dell, said that the "three guarantees" service is only for individual consumers and does not include enterprises. If consumers issue enterprise invoices, they will not enjoy the return service within 7 days.

  Expert: Merchants should not shirk their responsibilities.

  Chen Yinjiang, deputy secretary-general of China Consumer Protection Law Research Association, explained that strictly speaking, the Consumer Protection Law protects consumers’ behavior of buying, using goods or receiving services for their daily consumption needs. Consumers issue enterprise invoices after buying computers, and enterprises are business activities, not the needs of daily consumption, so their rights and interests are not protected by the Consumer Law. However, products purchased by enterprises are still protected by the Product Quality Law, the Contract Law and other relevant laws and regulations.

  Chen Yinjiang said that according to the Product Quality Law, no matter whether the enterprise users or consumers buy goods, as long as they don’t have the proper performance, they don’t explain it in advance; Does not meet the product standards indicated on the product or its packaging; The seller shall be responsible for repairing, replacing and returning goods in case of any of the above situations, which are not in conformity with the quality conditions indicated in the product description and physical samples. If losses are caused to consumers who buy products, the seller shall also compensate for the losses.

  In real life, many consumers will issue enterprise invoices or simply do not ask for invoices after purchasing goods or receiving services. "I personally think that as long as the buyer can prove that it is really for the needs of personal life, no matter whether it is invoiced or not, its rights and interests should be protected by the Consumer Law." In Chen Yinjiang’s view, businesses should not use this as an excuse to shirk their responsibilities and obligations. At the same time, he also reminded consumers to issue invoices as truthfully as possible when purchasing goods or receiving services.

Air tickets can also be bought to save up the popular "ticket-hoarding tour" in "double 11"

  I often hear about "hoarding new year’s goods" and "hoarding Chinese cabbage" … … So, have you ever heard of "ticket hoarding tour"? With the approach of "double 11", the demand for "ticket hoarding tour" of consumers has ushered in an outbreak. The so-called "ticket-saving tour" means buying first and redeeming it when there is a need for travel. This kind of tourist consumption pattern of "hoarding air tickets" has gradually become the new favorite of young and middle-aged consumers.

  On November 7th, the reporter learned from a travel platform that as of 24: 00 on November 5th, the platform "double 11" had sold more than 300,000 pieces of "fly at will" and other air tickets, and many popular products had gone through several rounds of replenishment.

  "ticket-hoarding tour" is becoming more and more popular;

  Someone is filial to his father to buy a plane package.

  Mr. Hu, a Chengdu citizen who bought the "Fly 6.0 Global Edition" package released by Spring Airlines, said, "As long as it costs more than 3,300 yuan, it is relatively cost-effective, especially this 6.0 version can also be used in international flights. I want to take my dad out to play more places and buy him a copy. "

  The reporter learned from Spring Airlines that the single version of the package is priced at 3,399 yuan. The flight date for redeemable package tickets is from now until March 30th, 2024 (excluding 40 days in Spring Festival travel rush), including New Year’s Day holiday, which can be redeemed only 3 days in advance.

  In addition to buying packages, going to the live broadcast platform to snap up a single ticket has become a new "play" for many young people. The reporter learned from Spring Airlines that the airline company sells 99 yuan and 199 yuan one-time cards in the official live broadcast room every Tuesday and Friday, which can be redeemed for many popular domestic and international routes, and promises to get a full refund if they are not redeemed.

  "I grabbed a 199-yuan one-time card and waited until New Year’s Day to go to Hangzhou with my roommate." Wang Zhi, who majored in law in Chengdu, said, "I used to spend the winter in the west. This winter, I want to go to the Jiangnan water town in the east to experience it." Wang Zhi also revealed to reporters that it is not uncommon for people of the same age around him to "take advantage of discounts and hoard one or even several tourist ticket coupons until they are interested or have more friends to have time together".

  The relevant person in charge of the tourism platform said that due to the rising demand of young consumers for more flexible and mobile goods, the consumption habit of buying first and using it when needed has become one of the mainstream forms of tourism consumption. "Specific to air tickets, that is, in the traditional ‘ Search-Booking-Ticket Issuing ’ Outside the mode, ‘ Browse-Store Tickets-Use ’ The way is becoming more and more popular. "

  Insiders:

  It has the effect of expanding revenue for the platform and the airline itself.

  In fact, the equity goods of "hoarding first and then agreeing" are the cost-effective products obtained by the merchants by transferring some certainty and convenience, which is also in line with the consumer psychology of young people "can buy expensive, but never buy expensive".

  In addition, the organization and design of rights and interests air ticket products are more flexible, such as multiple cards of the same airline, connecting flights with specific transit places, regional flight cards with airports as anchor points, business class sub-cards for long-distance flights, etc., which have stimulated the "special forces" tourism consumption demand of enriching travel experience and punching in more potential destinations.

  The reporter inquired about the data of the tourism platform and found that the relevant information in the past three years fully supported the above conclusions: in 2021, the cumulative sales volume of "flying at will" products of eight airlines exceeded 100,000; In 2022, in "double 11", the cumulative sales of explosive ticket products exceeded 300,000 pieces; In this year’s "double 11", as of November 5th, more than 300,000 pieces of airline ticket products have been sold, and a new record is about to be born. In addition, the annual "Double 12", "618" and other promotional nodes, "Fly with Your Heart" and airline ticket sub-card products are one of the most popular types of goods.

  In the face of this change in consumption patterns, the relevant person in charge of the tourism platform said, "It is a good thing for the platform." He believes that, first, the platform can expand sales through the form of goods that young people prefer, and expand and lock in a large number of customers. Second, the platform has more operating space to maintain its stickiness for customers who have hoarded "flying at will" and air tickets. Third, the "ticket-hoarding tour" is also an important opportunity for the platform to take advantage of ecology and innovation to create commercial value for the merchants on the platform.

  "Similarly, it is also a good thing for the airline." The person in charge said that the airline company can achieve better revenue management through the precise operation of specific routes and specific cabins, the organization of rights and interests goods, and the operation of air tickets booked on specified travel dates. At the same time, the data and trends of consumers’ "hoarding goods" can help airlines make more detailed decisions on auxiliary operations and transportation capacity.

The countdown to Tesla FSD’s entry into China is the key to the sales break.

The countdown to Tesla FSD's entry into China is the key to the sales break.

On the night of April 27th, Tesla CEO Musk boarded a private jet in gulfstream G550 for Beijing.

There is a dark cloud hanging over his mind-Tesla’s global sales growth has slowed down, Zachary Kirkhorn, vice president of finance who has been with him for more than 10 years, and Drew Baglino, senior vice president of power engineering, have left one after another, and this month, Tesla announced that it will lay off more than 10% of its employees worldwide, affecting tens of thousands of employees.

The sales dilemma needs to be reversed urgently. The Mexican factory has made slow progress, and the Indian factory is still far away. Although the competitors in the China market are fierce as wolves, the sales in China account for one-third of Tesla’s global sales, and the Shanghai factory also contributes nearly half of Tesla’s production capacity. Musk has undoubtedly found an emergency plan to save the current dilemma.

36Kr learned that Musk was going to China with Lars Moravy, vice president of vehicle engineering, and Zhu Xiaotong, senior vice president of automobile business. Lars is considered by Tesla employees to be about to replace Drew Baglino, and he and Zhu Xiaotong are obviously Musk’s right-hand men at the moment. Lars went to the Shanghai factory, while Musk stayed in Beijing.

Most of the projects are progressing smoothly. On the day of Musk’s visit to China, Tesla Model 3 and Model Y passed the four compliance requirements of automobile data security, and the ban on parking and driving will be lifted, which obtained the most basic road passes for the large-scale application of FSD in China market.

Since then, the news that Tesla is about to launch FSD in China has spread like wildfire. Before the US stock market opened on April 29th, Tesla’s share price rose by over 12%.

This is a rare share price rise of Tesla this year. In the past three months, Tesla’s share price has fallen by more than 40%, and its total market value was as low as $468.323 billion.

In 2018, Tesla suffered a productivity hell. After Musk visited China, Tesla Giga Shanghai completed the construction and put into production in just 10 months, helping Tesla out of the trough. At present, the status quo of Tesla is similar to that of six years ago. This time, can Tesla create miracles again?

FSD’s first-hand preparation for entering China

Tesla is not only a new energy car company, but also an AI company. The rapid development of Tesla AI technology is driven by technologies such as FSD(Full-Self Driving) and humanoid robot.

On the day of his arrival in China on April 28th, Musk said on the social platform that Tesla would invest about $10 billion this year for AI training and reasoning, and the AI reasoning was mainly used for cars. "Any company that spends less than $10 billion a year or is inefficient cannot participate in market competition."

But the more huge the investment, the more Tesla is eager to make profits with AI technology. In order to promote FSD, in March this year, Musk also sent an email to all employees, asking users to experience the FSD(Supervised) function when they test drive. In addition, Tesla also launched a one-month FSD free package experience to millions of users in North America.

With over 1.7 million owners, Tesla China is a market that FSD can’t miss. Tesla has been planning for the landing of FSD in China.

Cooperation with Baidu related map business is an important breakthrough for FSD to enter China. 36Kr learned from various sources that Tesla and Baidu have three cooperation in map business: car navigation map, advanced assisted driving map and compliance cloud.

"Baidu gave the version numbers of Tesla navigation map and Gaofu map respectively." Informed sources revealed.

Tesla owners are no strangers to Baidu car navigation maps. Since January 2020, Tesla has been equipped with Baidu navigation map on the car system.

In addition to navigation maps, the cooperation between Tesla and Baidu in advanced assisted driving maps and compliance clouds is even more critical, which has promoted the landing of FSD in China.

Previously, Tesla FSD had been facing a big compliance threshold when it entered China. According to the notice issued by the Ministry of Natural Resources in August, 2022, it is a surveying and mapping activity to collect road data by intelligent networked vehicles with cameras, lidar and other sensors. Foreign-invested enterprises must entrust enterprises with surveying and mapping qualifications to conduct surveying and mapping and process data.

Screenshot of the Notice of the Ministry of Natural Resources on Promoting the Development of Intelligent Networked Vehicles and Maintaining the Safety of Surveying and Mapping Geographic Information

In other words, Tesla, as a foreign-funded enterprise, needs to cooperate with a local enterprise with surveying and mapping qualifications in China, that is, a map manufacturer, in order to launch a smart car. Baidu Map is one of the 19 companies with Grade A map qualification in China, which meets the cooperation requirements of Tesla.

A person familiar with the matter told 36Kr that the cooperation reached between the two parties was "mainly the compliance processing of sensor data". Specifically, with the Grade A mapping qualification of Baidu map, the data collected by Tesla vehicle sensors need to be classified, coordinate deflected and desensitized on Baidu compliance cloud before they can flow to the automatic driving training.

Another person close to Baidu Map told 36Kr that the two parties started cooperation in December 2022, but before that, Tesla production vehicles had not passed the domestic automobile data security requirements, and the data compliance work of both parties was limited to Tesla test vehicles, which was not large in scale.

Tesla will be used for FSD model training and so on. According to 36Kr, Tesla-related autopilot data center has landed in Shanghai.

In addition, according to 36Kr’s previous report, Tesla has established a data labeling team and an operation team in China, and sent engineers from the US headquarters for training to promote the landing of FSD in the China market.

As the preparatory work draws to a close, Tesla is expected to open a business chapter of autonomous driving in China. According to 36Kr, at present, Tesla has over one million vehicles with FSD capability in China. However, it should be noted that if Tesla FSD function is used, users need to pay 64,000 yuan separately.

This price is far from touching people’s hearts. On the contrary, under the fierce domestic smart driving competition, at present, only Huawei’s high-level smart driving has started the user charging mode, and other car companies’ smart driving functions are basically free for users.

Tesla is also aware of the problem that FSD users are not willing to pay. In order to stimulate users, Tesla recently announced in the United States that the monthly subscription price of FSD has dropped from $199 to $99 per month; The buyout price of FSD also dropped from $12,000 to $8,000. Considering the domestic competitive environment, if Tesla FSD is further established in China, it may also adopt a monthly subscription model.

Tesla trams have been in China for 10 years, stirring the pattern and ecology of the domestic automobile industry with the attitude of catfish. It is another historic moment for Tesla to clear the obstacles when FSD enters China.

However, the domestic automobile market is far from that of ten years ago. Smart drivers such as Huawei, Tucki and Weilai are gearing up, and the industry competition is more full and players’ fighting spirit is stronger. It is difficult for Tesla’s FSD to be as fearless as when the tram entered China.

Tesla’s advantage chip may lie in the fact that FSD will not start too slowly in China with the massive data of millions of vehicles.

FSD, Tesla’s sales hope

The current Tesla is experiencing a new round of revenue crisis, and FSD may be the key to change its dilemma in the short term.

On April 24th, Tesla released its Q1 2024 financial report. During the reporting period, Tesla’s total revenue was $21.301 billion, and its revenue decreased by 9% year-on-year, which was lower than the market expectation of $22.3 billion.

Among them, the total automobile revenue was $17.378 billion, down 13% year-on-year, and GAAP operating profit was $1.2 billion, down 56% year-on-year. Accordingly, the gross profit decreased by 18% to US$ 3.696 billion.

The decline in sales is the main reason for the decline in Tesla’s revenue. According to the financial report data, in Q1 this year, Tesla produced 433,000 vehicles, down about 1.7% year-on-year, and delivered 387,000 vehicles, down about 8.3% year-on-year.

In order to change the current situation of sluggish sales, Tesla is taking several countermeasures.

On April 21st, Tesla China lowered the price of all products by 14,000 yuan, the price of Model 3 was reduced from 245,900-285,900 yuan to 231,900-271,900 yuan, and the price of Model Y was reduced from 263,900-368,900 yuan to 249,900-354,900 yuan. In the American market, Tesla also reduced the price of all products by $2,000.

However, since Tesla started several rounds of price cuts last year, its role in stimulating sales is close to failure. According to the data of the Federation, in the first quarter of this year, the retail volume of Tesla China was 132,420 vehicles, down 3.6% year-on-year.

In order to increase sales, Musk announced the production of low-priced models in advance, from the second half of 2025 to the end of 2024 or 2025. Compared with the new models that have not yet been put into production, the more mature FSD will be put on the market, or Tesla sales will be promoted faster.

According to the data of the Passenger Car Association, in 2023, the penetration rate of intelligent driving of L2 and above in China passenger car market reached 42.4%, and consumers’ recognition of intelligent driving was gradually increasing.

According to a person in the intelligent driving industry, the level of intelligent driving in China has developed rapidly in recent years. Although Tesla FSD has lost its technical advantage when it entered China, its technology and scenes have accumulated deeply. After training domestic data, the level of intelligent driving in will soon reach the domestic leading level.

"After the FSD comes in, the methodology of Tesla’s autonomous driving and AI infrastructure may also be learned by domestic companies." The above-mentioned person said.

At present, intelligent driving function is becoming one of the core selling points of new energy vehicles. Jin Yuzhi, CEO of Huawei’s smart car solution BU, once said that 70% of users in the world choose Huawei’s advanced smart driving package. LI has repeatedly stated that intelligent driving technology will be the core strategic goal in the future.

Tesla’s enhanced automatic assisted driving function sold in China has lagged behind the first echelon of intelligent driving in China, but after the introduction of FSD, Tesla can quickly make up for its lack of advanced intelligent driving ability.

The high-order intelligent driving function of China car companies mostly relies on multi-sensor schemes such as laser radar, and the high hardware cost leads to the application of more than 200,000 yuan.

Tesla adopts a low-cost pure visual intelligent driving scheme, which can flexibly apply FSD function to different price models. This means that if Tesla successfully launches a low-priced model and combines existing products, Tesla will realize the high-level intelligent driving function for the model of 100,000-300,000 yuan. Tesla will grab the market cake from its competitors in China by playing with low-priced models and high-level intelligent driving functions.

On this basis, with price reduction measures, Tesla, which still has room for price reduction, will have both technical and price advantages, which can further expand the market share of new energy vehicles.

Nowadays, Tesla’s FSD seems to be only one foot away from China, and this will be the card for Tesla to return to the first echelon of sales and open the gap with its opponents.

The Climbers appeared in Cannes, and Jason Wu led China’s tough guy to win international attention.

  The Climbers will be released nationwide on September 30th this year.

  The latest exposure of The Climbers international poster.

  The Climbers screenwriter and famous writer Alai.

  Recently, the film The Climbers, written by the famous writer Alai, appeared in the "SIFF China Day" of the 72nd Cannes Film Festival, exposed two international posters for the first time, and appeared on the cover of the official magazine Variety of Cannes Film Festival and reported in a large page, which attracted much attention from the media at home and abroad.

  The main lineup can be called "national inspection-free lineup"

  The Climbers’s main lineup can be described as full of gold, with producer Tsui Hark, director Li Rengang and screenwriter Alai, starring Jason Wu, Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Yi, Jing Bo Ran, Hugh, Wang Jingchun, He Lin, Chen Long, Liu Xiaofeng, Qunittsering, Lavang Rob and Dobujie, and Jackie Chan’s friendship.

  Loy thinks Jason Wu is a very hard-working person.

  Ah Lai, who went to shoot the scene to visit the class, thought that Jason Wu was a very hard-working person, so maybe he should have his temperament as a mountaineer. It’s hard to shoot in the ice and snow, and he doesn’t need body double with injuries. Jason Wu said at the closing ceremony of The Climbers not long ago: "We felt the altitude, snow, hardship and friendship when shooting. Thanks to The Climbers for letting us feel the purity, purity and happiness of the film wholeheartedly. Only by truly feeling the film can we make a good film."

  The difficulty of production refreshes the history of Chinese movies

  At the "SIFF China Day" in Cannes, Tan Xinzheng, deputy general manager of Shanghai Film Co., Ltd. said frankly: "In order to restore the magnificent wonders of Mount Everest, the film has refreshed the creative history of Chinese films in terms of production specifications and shooting difficulty, hoping to give it a unique oriental charm and become a new type of film full of oriental colors." Two international posters, "Gathering" and "Side by Side", were also released at the event site, in which climbers braved the cold snow and unknown obstacles and made concerted efforts to launch an impact on the top of the world.

The agricultural and rural economy maintained a steady development trend.

In the first half of this year, all localities and departments conscientiously implemented the central government’s policies of strengthening agriculture, benefiting farmers and enriching farmers, vigorously promoted the structural transformation of agriculture, and actively promoted the structural reform of the supply side of agriculture and the reform of key rural areas. The development of agricultural production was generally stable, the construction of infrastructure facilities continued to strengthen, the momentum of rural industrial integration was good, farmers’ income continued to grow, and rural reform and innovation steadily advanced, laying a good foundation for the rural economic development during the 13 th Five-Year Plan period.

First, agricultural production is generally stable and structural adjustment is carried out in an orderly manner.

First, the summer grain has been harvested again. The total output of summer grain was 139.26 million tons, a decrease of 1.621 million tons or 1.2% over the previous year, but it still ranked the second highest in history. The sown area of summer grain was 414.5 million mu, an increase of 0.03%; The yield per unit area was 336 kg/mu, a decrease of 1.2%. It is estimated that the area and output of early rice will decrease slightly this year.

Second, the production of cash crops is basically stable. The output of rapeseed harvested in summer is flat and slightly reduced, and the total output is estimated to be about 13 million tons, which is 500,000 tons less than that of the previous year. Cotton planting continues to decrease. According to the survey of planting intention of the Development and Reform Commission, the cotton planting area this year is about 56.2 million mu, 5.3 million mu less than the previous year. Vegetable production was basically stable. According to the information monitoring points of 580 key counties monitored by the Ministry of Agriculture, vegetable production in May was flat year-on-year and increased by 19.3% from the previous month.

Third, the production of animal husbandry declined steadily. In the first half of the year, the output of pork, cattle, sheep and poultry was 38.53 million tons, down 1.3% year-on-year, of which the output of pork was 24.73 million tons, down 3.9%. The number of live pigs was 402.03 million, a year-on-year decrease of 3.7%; 319.59 million pigs were slaughtered, a year-on-year decrease of 4.4%. Since December last year, with the rise in pork prices, the profit of raising pigs has increased for six consecutive months. Affected by the decrease of pig consumption demand in summer, the slaughter price of pigs fell in June, and the average profit of farmed pigs was 573 yuan, which was still at a historical high level. In June, the stock of fertile sows reversed the previous 30-month-on-month decline, the pig production capacity gradually recovered, and the pork supply was guaranteed in the second half of the year.

Fourth, the adjustment of agricultural structure has achieved initial results. Actively promote the adjustment of planting structure in the "sickle bend" area and promote the coordinated development of planting and breeding. It is estimated that the corn planting area will be reduced by more than 30 million mu this year. Efforts have been made to control outstanding problems in the agricultural environment, and the scale of pilot projects to control heavy metal pollution in cultivated land and groundwater overexploitation has been further expanded. Pilot projects have been launched to control cultivated grasslands in the farming-pastoral ecotone, comprehensively control agricultural non-point source pollution, and protect black land in Northeast China.

Second, the structural reform of the agricultural supply side was accelerated, and the reform of key rural areas was steadily advanced.

First, the efforts to make up for shortcomings in agriculture and rural areas have increased. This year, more than 230 billion yuan will be invested in the central budget for agriculture and rural construction to ensure that the investment in agriculture and rural areas will not be weakened and the total amount will increase. Vigorously promote the construction of high-standard farmland, and this year, the central government has allocated 76 billion yuan, which can build about 64 million mu of high-standard farmland. The construction of major water conservancy projects is progressing smoothly. Of the 172 major water conservancy projects, 88 have been started. Six projects, such as Xiajiang in Jiangxi and Hekou Village in Henan, have been basically completed and brought into play. Eight major projects, such as the second phase of Tianjin Yongding New River Regulation and Wuxikou in Jiangxi, have been basically completed. Key forestry ecological projects were accelerated, with a total afforestation area of 63.33 million mu in the first half of the year. The reform of "three subsidies" in agriculture and the integration reform of agriculture-related funds were actively promoted, and the interest compensation mechanism in major grain producing areas was studied and improved, and the agricultural subsidy system oriented to green ecology was accelerated.

Second, the reform of agricultural product price formation mechanism has been further deepened. According to the deployment of the State Council, on the basis of basically stabilizing the minimum purchase price level of rice and wheat, the minimum purchase price of early indica rice was lowered for the first time in 2016, gradually changing the market expectation of rigid price increase. Promote the reform of corn purchasing and storage system, and adjust the temporary purchasing and storage policy of corn in Northeast China to a new mechanism of "market acquisition" and "subsidy". Further promote the target price reform of cotton in Xinjiang, soybeans in Northeast China and Inner Mongolia, reduce operating costs, and ensure that subsidy funds are paid to farmers in full and on time.

Third, the pilot reform in key rural areas was carried out in an orderly manner. Rural land expropriation, collective construction land entering the market, and homestead system reform were carried out in 33 counties (cities, districts). Rural collective assets are confirmed to households and the reform of joint-stock cooperative system is promoted by classification, and the pilot project of farmers’ joint-stock cooperation continues. The innovation of rural financial system was actively promoted, the pilot measures for rural contracted land management rights and farmers’ housing property rights mortgage loans were introduced, the pilot projects for rural collective construction land mortgage loans were launched, the agricultural insurance regulations were revised, and the administrative examination and approval items for agricultural insurance market access were cancelled.

Three, the development momentum of rural industrial integration is good, and farmers’ income continues to grow.

First, new models and formats of rural industrial integration and development are constantly emerging. Support for the development of rural industrial integration has been increasing. Since last year, the state has arranged a total of more than 21 billion yuan of special construction funds to drive social capital to invest more than 300 billion yuan in the construction of rural industrial integration development parks and key projects. Sichuan, Hunan and other provinces actively promoted the establishment of investment funds for rural industrial integration development, which further incited social capital investment. Efficient, three-dimensional and circular agriculture, focusing on the combination of agriculture and animal husbandry and agriculture and fishing, was accelerated, and the integration of production and city, which combined rural industrial integration development with new urbanization, was accelerated. "Internet+agriculture", supported by information technology and e-commerce, developed rapidly, and the combination of agriculture and tourism was characterized by pastoral landscape tours, agricultural experience tours and folk customs tours.

Second, migrant workers and other personnel are returning home to start businesses in the ascendant. Attracted by the national policy of strengthening agriculture, benefiting farmers and enriching farmers and supporting migrant workers to return to their hometowns to start businesses, some migrant workers have accumulated certain funds or technology and returned to their hometowns to start businesses. Some college graduates have returned to their hometowns to achieve employment, and some industrialists and businessmen have returned to their hometowns to invest in modern agriculture to achieve enterprise transformation and development after completing capital accumulation. Agriculture and rural areas are becoming an important field for entrepreneurship and employment. In the first half of the year, the investment in fixed assets in the primary industry was 746 billion yuan, up 21% year-on-year, which was 12, 17 and 9 percentage points higher than that in the whole society and in the secondary and tertiary industries respectively.

Third, farmers’ income continued to grow. In the first half of the year, the per capita disposable income of rural residents was 6,050 yuan, a real increase of 6.7%, keeping pace with economic growth. The relative income gap between urban and rural residents has further narrowed, and the per capita disposable income is 2.80, which is 0.03 lower than the same period of last year. The wage income of farmers continued to grow. At the end of the second quarter, the total number of rural migrant workers was 175.09 million, an increase of 730,000. In the first half of the year, the average monthly income of migrant workers was 3,202 yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.7%.

While fully affirming the achievements, we should also be soberly aware that the current agricultural and rural economic development still faces some problems that need to be highly concerned. The losses caused by the continuous flood disaster are increasing, and the shortage of grain storage capacity leads to an increase in the risk of farmers’ difficulty in selling grain. The impact of weakening agricultural products prices is gradually emerging, and the slowdown in farmers’ income growth needs to create new kinetic energy.

In the second half of the year, we should continue to focus on the steady development of agriculture and the continuous increase of farmers’ income, earnestly do a good job in flood control and post-disaster recovery, and strive to reduce the losses caused by floods. Co-ordinate the work of grain purchase and inventory digestion to ensure that there is no "difficulty in selling grain" for farmers. We will continue to promote the structural transformation of agriculture in a down-to-earth manner, and step up the implementation of the plan to recuperate cultivated land, grasslands, rivers and lakes. We will continue to strengthen the construction of agricultural and rural infrastructure and actively guide social capital to participate in the construction and operation of rural infrastructure. Vigorously support the development of new formats such as rural industrial integration, and achieve a win-win situation for farmers to get rich and industrial development. Improve the support policy system for farmers’ income growth and ensure that farmers share the fruits of reform and development.
