It is generally believed in the industry that if 2023 is a "wild year" for generative artificial intelligence technology, then 2024 is expected to be the "first year" for the great development of artificial intelligence applications. With the development of AI big model and various text generation, Wensheng pictures and Wensheng video tools all the way this year, the global media industry will also usher in all-round changes in the way of content production, dissemination and consumption. The revolutionary breakthrough of technology presents the creator with a "magic pen". How should the media seize the opportunity to become a "good horse" who makes good use of this wonderful pen?

　　On February 26th, China’s first Wensheng video AI series was produced by the Central Radio and Television General Station.200 episodesThe animated film "Ode to a Thousand Years" was launched. The first AI mini-drama "The Myth of China" and the first AI translated English series of micro-documentaries "The Story and the Story" were also released.This is a set of concrete practices for the Headquarters to actively explore the innovative application of generative artificial intelligence technology in the media field, seize a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and strive to seize the commanding heights of future industrial competition to empower the cultural industry and international communication.

　　With the empowerment of AI, the future of the media industry has come. How to tell Chinese cultural stories well through generative AI? How to make the new quality productivity become the biggest increment of the high quality development of the main station? Let’s start with a series of AI practices led by the reception desk.

　　AI big model with China aesthetic.

　　Let it sing, and ask for its friendly voice. The communication between people begins with the communication of language. Similarly, the communication between creators and AI has to go through the communication process of "meeting friends with literature".

　　In July 2023, the Headquarters and Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory released the "CCTV Listening Media Model", which was first applied to the creation of Ode to a Thousand Years.In the first season of Ode to a Thousand Years, the latest technological achievements such as controllable image generation, dynamic character generation and literary video were comprehensively used.Six well-known Tang poems, such as Ode to Goose, Crossing the Old Man’s Village and a farewell to meng haoran on his way to yangzhou of the Yellow Crane Tower, were transformed into beautiful national animation.

　　The program creation team uses a large number of Chinese paintings and ancient poems as training materials to communicate with the AI ? ? model. After countless collisions between artistic creation language and code language,"CCTV listening to the media model" has a unique style and strength — — China’s aesthetics.It can accurately understand the traditional cultural words such as "national style, Tang Dynasty, freehand brushwork and meticulous painting", and generate fine art materials such as meticulous painting and ink painting, so as to reproduce the artistic conception and beauty of poetry to the maximum extent.

　　The ratings of the first six episodes of Ode to a Thousand Years’ Poetry ranked first among all the cartoons on the satellite channel in China, reaching a total audience of 94.413 million people., the central video client’s live viewing volume reached 13.182 million person-times, and Weibo’s topic reading volume totaled 92.814 million person-times. Hundreds of mainstream media at home and abroad, including VOA, pay attention to the innovative practice of the reception desk. Many experts and scholars in the fields of science and technology, media and education expressed their support and affirmation.

　　Many netizens commented that "AI has shaped a new mode of production, and Ode to a Thousand Years of Poetry has opened up the imagination of the industry." "When the AI ? ? big model meets the oriental aesthetics, China’s poetry is really ‘ Live ’ Get up "and" enter the smart primary and secondary school platform early, which is convenient for teachers and students to use "… …

　　AI can also activate the imagination of more cultures. "Ode to a Thousand Years" has just started broadcasting. On February 29th, the artificial intelligence studio of the General Station and the Tsinghua University Yuan Universe Culture Laboratory jointly produced the "China Myth Series Mini-short Drama" and "Mending the Sky", which was released to creatively interpret the enduring code of Chinese civilization contained in myths and legends.This is the first full-process mini-drama of AI in China. Art, camera, video, dubbing and soundtrack are all completed by AI, which is another pioneering practice for the film and television application of AI technology.

　　The key to Wensheng video is "text". Long-term infiltration in Chinese culture, repeated training and deep learning, the research and development of "CCTV listening to media model" is becoming more and more mature, the future program production cycle will be further shortened, and the fineness of works will be continuously upgraded. More and more "understanding" AI partners can not only save time and effort in film and television animation production, game development and advertising design, but also accelerate the development process of mature application of Wensheng video, business model expansion and overseas spread.

　　How does AI improve the efficiency of international communication?

　　The application practice of AI in many international communication scenes at the main station shows that AI-assisted production can not only greatly improve the efficiency of multi-language conversion and multi-platform distribution, but also realize authentic and loving cross-cultural interaction under the escort of man-machine collaboration.

　　Question 1:

　　Suppose you are an artificial intelligence. Today’s job is to translate a documentary in English. When a dragon talks seriously about how to "fine raise dragons" and talks about "Nagada in Northeast China" with his own accent, how should you deal with it?

　　A: Note that to explain loong’s "ins and outs" clearly in a foreign language, you should not only translate it accurately and rigorously, but also speak it erudite and lovely.

　　This documentary, named "The Story", is a series of loong-themed micro-documentaries translated by the Headquarters with the full AI process empowerment, and will be launched soon.The film effectively explores the efficient application scenario of the whole process of film and television translation of AI. Using AI technology, the whole translation process from voice recognition, text translation, voice cloning to track-splitting replacement has been completed, which highly restored the style of the original Chinese film and the "character dragon design" of narration.The accuracy of translation is ensured by man-machine cooperation, which greatly improves the efficiency of translation.

　　In addition to the English version, the Spanish, Portuguese, Indonesian, Filipino and other versions of The Story, the multilingual version of Ode to a Thousand Years ago and other excellent programs have fully utilized the independent AI technology of the reception desk to assist in the translation. On March 10th, the English and Spanish versions of Ode to a Thousand Years’ Poetry were officially released on CGTN. At the same time, multilingual film and television translation will be included in the training plan of CCTV Listening to Media Model, which will help the construction of the national multilingual film and television translation base of the General Station and effectively improve the international communication efficiency of Chinese film and television culture.

　　Question 2:

　　There is a group of news reports that need to be translated in multiple languages and distributed overseas in the shortest time. Is there any way to quickly generate multilingual and batch video products?

　　A: Yes.The main station makes full use of AI technology, and realizes the geometric progression growth of news output and broadcast quantity through the form of multi-language superposition and multi-platform distribution.For example, in a short period of one week, the series of English reports of Opportunity China: A First-line Economic Observation was transformed into nearly 100 multilingual video products in 10 languages, including Spain, France, Albania, Russia, Germany and Portugal, and broadcast on overseas platforms, which strongly refuted the so-called "China economic summit theory" in the United States and the West.

　　These products have clear and bright pictures and real and natural sounds, which bring surprises to overseas netizens. A Russian netizen left a message: "I am also surprised that this Chinese speaks Russian without any accent. It turned out to be AI, which is really awesome!"

　　It is not only the reported multilingual conversion, but also the AI virtual digital avatars of several CGTN hosts. The production mode of generating video through manuscript input saves the real-life recording link, shortens the shooting and material export work that originally took up to 2 hours to only 5 minutes, and greatly improves the upper limit of single-person single-day video output.

How does the AI track run steadily and accelerate?

　　There is a view that the development of artificial intelligence, especially the exponential growth of generative AI, has shortened the unit of measurement of technological change from years and months to days, and may even be calculated in hours and minutes in the future. If you don’t advance, you will retreat, and if you advance slowly, you will retreat. All in or wait and see? For the media industry, it is more critical to find a way to increase productivity through technological innovation.

　　How does the media industry run out of "acceleration" on the AI ? ? track? In the development and application of generative AI technology, there are two main development concepts that the main station has always adhered to.

　　On the one hand, we should insist on original research, and strive to build an internationally leading model of Wensheng video with China cultural characteristics.Compared with Sora’s vivid visual effects, the AI animation of programs such as Ode to a Thousand Years ago has some problems, such as blurred background and insufficient coherence of characters’ actions, which shows that there is still a certain gap between the video generation model independently developed by China and the world’s advanced technology. However, at present, the Chinese corpus accounts for only 1.3% of the global large-scale model data training set, and the characteristics of China are obviously insufficient. Facts show that insisting on original research is the fundamental to promote the development of independent general artificial intelligence in China.

　　In 2023, the Headquarters and Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory jointly established the "China Large Model Corpus Database Alliance".On the understanding and expression of Chinese culture, and the integration with the actual production process created by the media, the AI practice led by the General Desk has unique China aesthetic and Chinese cultural characteristics.

　　The main station has a rich and standardized audio-visual corpus such as China Audio-visual Archive, and all materials have been tagged, which is also the largest Chinese audio-visual corpus in the world.Training with the massive high-quality audio-visual data and professional media creation knowledge of the main station, the model is expected to grow rapidly in continuous actual combat and embark on a differentiated road of China’s technological development.

　　On the other hand, to do a good job in platform construction, we should promote the integration of "Industry-University-Research" and continuously optimize the safe and reliable AIGC technology platform.The core of big model breakthrough lies in algorithm, computing power and data. The Headquarters will work with Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory to build an independent and controllable domestic intelligent computing platform, and further promote the newly established large-scale model research and development community and artificial intelligence studio construction. Linking the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, the first-class scientific research institutions, universities and enterprises in the United Nations will cooperate in the fields of scientific research, demand application, safe development and industrial ecology.

　　Since the establishment of the main station, the whole stage has always maintained a state of being in danger, breaking through difficulties and seizing opportunities. Beginning in 2019, the head office leaders visited Shanghai Jiaotong University and other institutions to discuss the high-quality development of the artificial intelligence empowerment head office and set up relevant cooperative research institutions. After the Sora Wensheng video appeared, the leader of the main station asked the whole station to pay close attention to it and keep a close eye on it to prevent a complete defeat overnight.Artificial intelligence does not make creativity "fall from the sky", but opens up new application scenarios for "golden ideas" from all walks of life, providing innovative infrastructure and auxiliary capabilities.

　　After several years of practice, the Headquarters has continuously deepened the development strategy of "5G+4K/8K+AI", and at the same time vigorously promoted the innovation of media technology, transformed the new quality productivity into more refreshing quality programs. A series of practical achievements about generative AI made by the Headquarters are not a temporary follow-up "early adopters", but a series of "products made by the Headquarters" and "golden business cards" of Chinese culture. How will the AI road of the main station continue to break through the boundaries of media technology and create new imagination and fresh experience about Chinese culture for the global audience? I believe there are more scenic spots ahead.

Lei Jun released a brand-new official map of Ultra production in Weibo on October 28th. This is the first official picture of the production version, from which we can see the changes of many production models.

From the previous photos of the prototype of Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, it can be found that the prototype has a huge GT tail. Exaggerated diffusers and side skirts, tires are not street tires but hot-melt tires dedicated to the track. These exaggerated details are really in line with the identity of the prototype, and everything is for faster lap times.

Obviously, these kits can’t get on the road legally, and this preview also confirms this. The preview mainly shows the tail and side details of the production model, and many differences can be clearly found. First of all, the oversized GT tail wing was replaced by a more conservative small tail wing, and the wind knives on both sides of the prototype were also replaced by a folding design.

In addition, the rear enclosure has been replaced by the production version of ordinary SU7, and the giant diffuser below has disappeared. It seems that the side skirts and side air ducts have also been replaced with the style of ordinary SU7.

It can be seen that this prototype mass production has made many compromises in appearance, and a large number of aerodynamic kits have also been replaced.

However, the V8s motor used in the prototype should be retained, and the acceleration of 0-100km/h should still be expected to run within 2s by using the three-motor plus four-wheel drive.

The new car will be unveiled at the Xiaomi new product launch conference on October 29, and the actual performance can be expected.

　　It’s another college entrance examination season. In 2022, the number of applicants for the national college entrance examination reached a record high of 11.93 million, an increase of 1.15 million over last year.

　　The college entrance examination is a major livelihood project that has attracted much attention. It not only shoulders the high expectations of thousands of families, but also directly affects the life direction of thousands of students.

　　Strengthen the implementation of various epidemic prevention measures, create a good examination environment, and optimize the comprehensive guarantee service for candidates … Relevant departments and localities adhere to multi-measures and comprehensive policies, coordinate the prevention and control of epidemic situation and the college entrance examination, and strive to achieve the "safe college entrance examination", "healthy college entrance examination" and "warm college entrance examination".

　　Grasping Examination Management and Hanging "protective talisman"

　　Combined with the characteristics of this year’s situation, the Ministry of Education, together with relevant departments, has guided all localities to study and formulate a series of work measures, and guided all localities to further improve the working mechanism of joint defense, joint control and joint management, further strengthen system construction, strengthen standardized management, and earnestly safeguard the fairness and justice of the college entrance examination.

In conjunction with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments, we will jointly carry out special activities to control mobile phone cheating, guide all localities to strengthen the three prevention measures of people, materials and technology, and increase the intensity of entrance inspection of exam candidates.

　　-Continue to tighten the system cage. Guide colleges and universities around the country to effectively strengthen the organization and leadership of examination enrollment, conscientiously implement their work responsibilities, strictly implement policies and regulations, strictly abide by the enrollment work disciplines such as "30 No’s" and eight basic requirements, strictly implement the national enrollment plan and enrollment policies, and resolutely crack down on and control irregularities such as college entrance examination immigrants.

　　The college entrance examination is the starting point for the majority of young students to realize their dreams. The pragmatic measures to ensure the fairness and justice of the college entrance examination must be "hard-core".

　　Every key step should be cautious, detailed and meticulous, such as writing papers, making papers, transporting and keeping them, distributing invigilators, and marking papers, so as to ensure the absolute safety of test papers. In order to ensure the fairness and justice of the college entrance examination, various localities frequently make practical moves.

　　Putting security and secrecy in a prominent position, Guangdong requires local schools to strengthen departmental cooperation mechanisms, and jointly focus on special actions such as special treatment of mobile phone cheating, purifying the network environment involved in the test, cracking down on the sale of cheating equipment, purifying the surrounding environment of test sites, and cracking down on cheating in the test, so as to comprehensively manage the test environment.

　　Candidates will continue to be inspected by metal detectors, and all examination rooms in Henan Province will adopt "silent admission" without alarm sound. If candidates wear metal-containing clothes, shoes, accessories, etc., they will be "alarmed".

　　Comprehensively strengthen the safety inspection of candidates entering the test center and examination room. Guangxi requires all examination rooms to take various scientific and technological means such as video surveillance, metal detection, identity identification, wireless signal shielding and wireless invisible earphone detection to prevent cheating in exams, and strictly implement security inspection twice before candidates enter the venue.

　　Grasp the prevention and control of epidemic situation and weave a "healthy network"

　　In order to actively respond to the current epidemic situation and ensure the life safety and physical health of the majority of candidates and examiners, the Ministry of Education, together with the National Health and Wellness Commission, guided all localities to carefully formulate the operational norms for epidemic prevention in the college entrance examination, strengthen and improve the epidemic prevention measures for the group entrance examination, and carry out epidemic prevention training.

　　-scientifically and accurately formulate the work plan for group examination and epidemic prevention. Guide all localities to seriously study the epidemic situation and students’ situation, and make arrangements for test sites in different categories to ensure that candidates "should take all the exams".

　　-Strengthen the implementation of various epidemic prevention measures. In conjunction with the National Health and Wellness Commission, we will guide all localities to carefully formulate the epidemic prevention operation specifications for the college entrance examination, strengthen and improve the epidemic prevention measures for the group entrance examination, carry out epidemic prevention training, strictly control the environment of the examination room, strictly check the temperature of candidates entering the examination room, strengthen the prevention of people in the examination room, improve the emergency plan, and effectively protect the life safety and health of candidates and examination personnel.

In view of the ever-changing epidemic situation, we will guide all localities to comprehensively and timely arrange and master the situation of candidates stranded in other provinces who have signed up for the college entrance examination locally, actively strengthen contact with candidates, and actively assist candidates to return to their places of application for preparation.

　　All localities have carefully formulated the pre-plan of the group examination and epidemic prevention plan, and carefully grasped various epidemic prevention and control measures to ensure the smooth progress of the college entrance examination.

　　A billboard with white characters on a blue background, a red guide line, and a red carpet for candidates under the umbrella … Compared with previous years, there are two more candidates’ passages at the entrance of dongzhimen middle school test center. Xiong Jin, head of the test center and president of Beijing dongzhimen middle school, said that one more entrance channel was designed to ensure that candidates could be separated by a safe distance after identity verification and body temperature screening, and at the same time, they could quickly enter the test center to avoid crowd gathering at the entrance of the test center. Once a candidate’s body temperature is found to be abnormal, another channel leading to the spare examination room will be started immediately to achieve physical isolation from the ordinary examination room.

　　Guangdong has implemented health monitoring for all candidates for 14 consecutive days before the exam. All candidates must report their personal health status and action track daily through the WeChat WeChat official account of Guangdong Education Examinations Institute. From 14 days before the college entrance examination to the end of the college entrance examination, candidates should go out less and in principle no longer flow across regions.

　　Tianjin has set up regular test sites (including regular test sites and standby isolation test sites) and reset test sites (hospital test sites, isolation test sites and independent test sites) to ensure that candidates "take all the exams". Candidates can bring personal protective equipment such as sterilized paper towels into the examination room, and they should wear disposable medical surgical masks during the examination.

　　Pay attention to the service of candidates and hold up the "warm umbrella"

　　In order to strengthen the guidance and guidance for candidates, schools all over the country have taken many measures to optimize teaching arrangements and ensure that graduation grades review and prepare for exams in a targeted manner. At the same time, strengthen psychological counseling for candidates, help candidates ease their anxiety and maximize their potential.

　　On May 26th, the Education Bureau of Jizhou District, Tianjin, together with the Zone Media Center, launched a series of live broadcast activities of "There are candidates at home" in 2022, and "opened the pulse" from the aspects of psychological adjustment before the exam, review before the exam, and answering skills, so as to support parents and candidates.

　　Xining, Qinghai organized local famous teachers to launch two special lectures with 27 sections in each subject, to guide candidates to further prepare for the review and minimize the impact of epidemic prevention and control on the review and preparation.

　　JIAOZHOU No.1 Middle School in Qingdao, Shandong Province arranged for psychological teachers to enter the classroom to help students release pressure. In view of the anxiety and depression of individual students, psychological teachers provide individual psychological counseling "one-on-one".

　　How to ensure that the majority of candidates have a quiet environment for study, examination and rest during the college entrance examination?

　　In Xi ‘an, Shaanxi Province, noise pollution control during the college entrance examination was strengthened. Within 500 meters around the test center, construction work was prohibited all day, and motor vehicle horns and other kinds of noise disturbing people were strictly prohibited.

　　Tangshan, Hebei carefully implemented the "safe road" and "clean area", arranged enough police escort to send the test to ensure safe and smooth driving, and at the same time ensured that the examination room and its surroundings were clean, tidy, safe and quiet.

　　In addition, schools around the country have also strengthened their care for candidates. Care is accompanied by warmth.

　　In order to strengthen humanistic care for senior three boarders, Henan Experimental Middle School strictly guarantees the quality of their meals, and at the same time extends the water supply time of the bathhouse to ensure that they can take a hot bath at any time after class. The school also requires class teachers and life teachers to understand and solve their practical difficulties in time.

　　Senior three students of Shenzhen Futian Middle School recently ushered in a unique "winning party". Guo Yanping, vice president of Futian Middle School, wore a red T-shirt with the words "Win every exam" printed on it, and a koi fish headgear to the third grade of senior high school. He incarnated as "koi fish" and sent pizza and milk tea to the students, which made them feel unexpected surprises and blessings.

　　Towards a better future, sprint, 11.93 million candidates! (Manuscript: Our reporter Wang Yang Gao Yizhe wrote: Our reporter Shi Jiansong Chen Xinran Liu Dun Zhou Shimin Zhang Lijun Feng Li Zhou Hongsong Xu Deming Sun Jun correspondent Chen Lina Song Wenfeng)

　　Review of "Looking Back on the Extraordinary Five Years" Series;

　　Song Yan

　　In the past, the barren land was covered with "green clothes", and the black and odorous water body was "transformed" into an ecological river, and remarkable progress was made in the control of atmospheric smog … … A beautiful picture of China with green hills, flowing green water and fresh air is slowly spreading out on this 9.6 million square kilometers land.

　　A good ecological environment is the most inclusive welfare of people’s livelihood. Since the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", with the goal of "overall improvement of ecological environment quality", China has adhered to green development, continued to "overweight" environmental governance, resolutely fought the tough battle of pollution prevention and control, increased the protection of ecosystems, and significantly improved the ecological environment, handing over a heavy green "report card".

　　In the past five years, the system of ecological civilization system has become more perfect. The construction of ecological civilization needs institutional escort. In the past five years, major breakthroughs have been made in the reform of the ecological civilization system; The pace of environmental rule of law is accelerating, and environmental protection law is more deterrent and executive; The "green storm" set off by the central environmental protection inspector swept across the country, realizing the transformation of ecological environmental protection from "inspecting enterprises" to "supervising government"; The long river and lake system has injected new vitality into China’s water pollution control … … It is gradually becoming a consensus to use institutional civilization to protect ecological civilization.

　　In the past five years, the concept of green development has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the past, digging mountains to "sell stone mines", but now protecting green and "building a golden nest"; Shut down "small scattered" and exert "high precision"; The pace of energy structure adjustment is accelerated, and the development is moving towards cleanliness … … Five years have passed quickly, and the development concept of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of hundreds of millions of people and has become the consensus and common sense of the whole society. From the Yellow River to the Yangtze River, from Babusha Forest Farm to Kubuqi Desert, the green legends written in rivers, lakes and the Gobi Desert are vivid interpretations and powerful proofs.

　　In the past five years, the ecological dividend has been continuously released. Environment is people’s livelihood, green hills are beautiful, and blue sky is also happiness. In the past five years, China’s green "territory" has been continuously expanded, the ecological environment has been significantly improved, the green development dividend has been continuously released, and the people’s sense of ecological environment acquisition, happiness and security have been continuously enhanced. The lush forests and bamboo seas have become "green banks" for villagers to get rid of poverty and become rich, and more and more villages rely on beautiful scenery to eat "tourist meals". The data shows that by the end of May 2020, through the implementation of ecological poverty alleviation, more than 3 million poor people across the country have been lifted out of poverty and increased their income.

　　In the past five years, the "China Program" for ecological civilization construction has benefited the world. China’s fungus and grass technology with completely independent intellectual property rights has spread to more than 100 countries and regions; China science and technology help Central Asian countries "turn green"; Experts from many countries in the Middle East came to China to study the sand fixation method of building oases in the desert … … More and more China’s ecological management experience has gone abroad and spread to more countries and regions, contributing wisdom and strength to building a better earth home.

　　People live up to the castle peak, and the castle peak lives up to people. The construction of ecological civilization is closely related to everyone, and everyone should be a practitioner and promoter. Let’s start with less plastic bags and more green trips, start with small things and start around us. Let’s join hands to add green to the earth, make the sky blue, land green and water clean become the norm, draw a beautiful picture of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and relay to protect our green home in the next five years.

　　Waterlogging disaster

　　Because the rainstorm is urgent and heavy, poor drainage can easily lead to waterlogging, and the soil pores are filled with water, which causes the root system of terrestrial plants to lack oxygen, inhibits the physiological activities of the root system, and causes crops to suffer and reduce production.

　　In cities and towns, when too much rain exceeds the drainage capacity, water will flow on the road surface, and stagnant water will form in low-lying places, resulting in urban waterlogging, which has a great impact on transportation, industrial production, commercial activities and citizens’ daily life.

　　flood damage

　　Flooding caused by rainstorm inundates crops, making it difficult for crops to metabolize normally and causing various injuries. The deeper the flooding, the longer the flooding time, and the more serious the harm to agriculture, forestry and fisheries.

　　Heavy rain causes rivers to flood, and also causes geological disasters such as flash floods, landslides and mudslides, which not only harms crops, but also destroys farmhouses, industrial and agricultural facilities and roads, and even causes human and animal casualties and serious economic losses.

　　Almost all the floods in the history of our country were caused by heavy rain, such as the flood in the Yangtze River basin in July 1954, the flood in Hebei in August 1963, the flood in Henan in August 1975, the flood in Jianghuai in 1991 and the catastrophic flood in the whole Yangtze River basin in 1998, which all caused serious economic losses.

　　Constantly improve the political "three forces" and accelerate the construction of a new development pattern

　　— — In-depth study of the important speech of the Supreme Leader General Secretary at the provincial and ministerial seminars (Part III)

　　Author: Guangming Daily commentator

　　At the opening ceremony of the seminar for leading cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels at the Central Party School (National School of Administration) to study and implement the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Leading cadres at all levels, especially senior cadres, must be based on the overall situation of the great rejuvenation strategy of the Chinese nation and the unprecedented changes in the world in the past century, with a heart ‘ The great man of the country ’ Constantly improve political judgment, political understanding and political execution, constantly improve political ability, strategic vision and professional level in grasping the new development stage, implementing the new development concept and building a new development pattern, dare to take responsibility and be good at doing things, and implement the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee. " In the face of profound changes in the world situation and national conditions, the important speech of the General Secretary focuses on understanding the law, grasping the principles, and clarifying the path, which is of great and far-reaching guiding significance for us to unify our thinking, improve our position, broaden our horizons, and further implement the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee.

　　As a Marxist political party, stressing politics is a fine tradition of our party and a fundamental requirement. From Nanhu Red Boat to Jinggang Xiufeng, from Zunyi Ancient City to Yan ‘an Pagoda, the Communist Party of China (CPC) people have all demonstrated the high political consciousness of Marxist political parties in a series of struggles, developments and practices, and turned their political advantages into inexhaustible power to overcome all the risk challenges on the road ahead and constantly move from victory to new victory. Now, the cause of the Party and the country has reached a new historical position and development stage. Only when Do not forget your initiative mind keeps his mission in mind, systematically studies and thoroughly understands the exposition of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on why to talk about politics, what kind of politics to talk about and how to talk about politics, and constantly improves his own political judgment, political understanding and political execution, can he unite as one, go all out and persevere in achieving the set goals.

　　Good governance, good things. The world today is experiencing a great change that has never happened in a century. We have also made timely adjustments to our development concepts and ideas. The new development pattern has become a major strategic task and needs to be accurately grasped and actively promoted from the overall situation. Whether we can better improve our political stance, strengthen our political stance and strengthen our political responsibility will determine the quality and level of our final answer to the topic of the times. In fact, talking about politics is not only a kind of attitude and position, consciousness and direction, but also a manifestation of ability and accomplishment. Political judgment, political understanding and political execution are about the materialization and refinement of politics at the practical level. Political judgment means that when facing problems, we should have the ability to scientifically grasp the changes of the situation, accurately identify the essence of the phenomenon, clearly distinguish between right and wrong behaviors, and effectively resist risk challenges; Political understanding is to always maintain a high degree of consistency with the CPC Central Committee in work, be clear about the "big country", and define your own responsibilities; Political executive power means that we must always benchmark ourselves against the spirit of the CPC Central Committee and carry out the spirit of the CPC Central Committee to the letter.

　　Correct stand and scientific practice are the important support to achieve practical results and realistic results. In the past year, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, people of all ethnic groups throughout the country fought bravely and made great strategic achievements in the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic. At the same time, they took the lead in resuming work and production, realizing economic growth from negative to positive, becoming the only major economy in the world to achieve positive economic growth, and handing over an excellent answer that was satisfactory to the people, attracted worldwide attention and could go down in history. It can be said that without the Communist Party of China (CPC) people always keeping the people in mind and taking loyalty to the party, sharing worries for the party and doing their duty for the party as the yardstick in their hearts, generate would not have been able to cultivate new opportunities in the crisis and open up new opportunities in the changing situation.

　　Core reading

　　On August 30th, the European Commission ruled that the American Apple Company illegally evaded taxes of 13 billion euros in Ireland, and Apple Company had to return the tax to the Irish government. This will be the largest tax collection bill issued by the European Union since the implementation of supervision on corporate taxation in member countries.

　　The American government’s intervention in this incident has made the commercial and trade contradictions between the United States and Europe more prominent.

　　To punish apples, the EU aims to make an example of them.

　　Margaret Vestager, European Commissioner in charge of competition affairs, said at a press conference held on 30th, "After a three-year investigation, the European Commission found that the Irish government gave Apple a competitive tax preference, which made Apple pay a considerable amount of tax less than other enterprises for many years. According to EU law, it is illegal for companies to obtain state tax assistance. The tax rules that Ireland reached with Apple in 1991 and 2007 were equivalent to state subsidies and violated EU law. "

　　Vestager said: "The standard tax rate of Irish corporate income tax is 12.5%, and the European Commission survey shows that Ireland’s selective tax policy has reduced Apple’s corporate tax from 1% in 2003 to 0.005% in 2014." To this end, the European Commission ruled that the Irish government must collect the tax (including interest) from Apple from 2003 to 2014 up to 13 billion euros, but the specific amount is determined by Ireland.

　　The European Commission disclosed Apple’s tax avoidance measures in a press release issued on the 30th: "According to Irish law, an Irish company may not pay taxes in Ireland if its management and control rights are not in the country. Using this unique tax law, Apple first set up an Apple International Sales Company in Ireland to receive all sales revenue outside the United States and enjoy a lower income tax rate. Then, through the parent company of Apple International Sales Company — — Apple International Operation Company transferred its profits to the British Virgin Islands, where the latter is headquartered. Since the management right of Apple International Operation Company is not in Ireland, there is no need to pay taxes in Ireland, and the British Virgin Islands is almost tax-free. "

　　In fact, Apple’s tax avoidance problem is just the tip of the iceberg. According to the EU’s estimation, tax avoidance causes tax losses of up to 70 billion euros to EU countries every year. The EU may also punish dozens of American companies such as Starbucks, Amazon and McDonald’s for tax avoidance in Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and other "tax havens" over the past years.

　　In response to the ruling, Apple said it would not bow its head.

　　For the European Commission’s ruling, Apple showed an attitude of never bowing. The company issued a statement saying that most of its profits are paid taxes in the United States, and it has never requested or obtained any special arrangements. The company has always been committed to doing business in Ireland and plans to continue to invest. Apple believes that the EU’s ruling on this case may damage the investment of multinational companies in Europe, which is not conducive to the European economy.

　　Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, published an open letter to customers. He bluntly said that this ruling made the principle of legal certainty in Europe face a "devastating blow". Luca Mestley, Apple’s chief financial officer, even said rudely that 13 billion euros was a "fabricated figure".

　　The largest party group in the European Parliament — — Burkhard Balz, a spokesman for the European People’s Party, expressed support for the European Commission’s ruling. He said: "any enterprise operating in Europe should abide by the laws of the European Union, and no one can have privileges. In order to protect the EU internal market and ensure that no one violates the rules, we need consistent and strict competition rules and boldly implement them. " However, Balz expressed dissatisfaction with the tax refund to the Irish government. He thought that "this is simply a strange way to encourage member States to violate EU laws, and this money should be included in the EU budget and owned by the EU".

　　Ross Maulde, investment director of British Bell Investment Company, believes that the EU’s huge tax on Apple seems to be trying to establish a fair image by cracking down on large overseas companies that avoid tax, but it remains to be seen whether this is beneficial to the EU’s economy. He said: "Capital always flows to the place where it is welcomed. In the past 20 years, Ireland’s economic development has largely benefited from its low corporate income tax policy. The EU will bear huge risks due to the punishment of Apple, which may weaken the enthusiasm of other big companies to enter Europe, destroy the investment environment and affect potential employment and taxation. " It is reported that Apple has 5,500 employees in Cork, Ireland, accounting for about a quarter of its European employees. Apple is also the largest private employer in Cork.

　　Irish Finance Minister Michael Noonan expressed "deep opposition" to the European Commission’s ruling. He said: "Ireland’s tax system is strictly implemented in accordance with the law, without exception. The Irish government will appeal to the European Court of Justice. "

　　Come forward to support, the United States threatened to carry out "retaliation."

　　American business people, members of Congress, and even the Ministry of Finance and the White House came out to support Apple, accusing the European Commission’s ruling of being unreasonable. The U.S. Treasury Department issued a statement saying that the European Commission’s assessment of retroactive taxes and fees was unfair and violated generally accepted legal principles. The actions of the European Commission may undermine foreign investment, the business environment in Europe and the economic partnership between the United States and the European Union.

　　Ernest, a White House spokesman, said that he was worried about the unilateral approach of the European Union and believed that it would undermine the fairness of the international tax system to taxpayers and enterprises.

　　The US government said that the EU’s tax investigation on American companies such as Apple, Amazon and Starbucks would create a very "unfortunate" international tax precedent. A white paper issued by the US Treasury pointed out that the EU is becoming the world’s tax police, and warned that if the EU declares Apple "guilty", the US Treasury will consider taking "retaliatory measures". US Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew accused the European Commission of singling out American companies for investigation. The European Commission responded that the EU treated all companies operating in Europe equally, and the investigation did not specifically target American companies.

　　With the intervention of the US government, this incident has gradually evolved from a problem between Apple and the European Union to a contradiction between the United States and Europe, and the prominent political color may deepen the rift between the United States and Europe in many aspects.

　　According to the analysis, after all, Apple is a big guy, and it will not be easily convinced by a ticket issued by the European Union, nor will it affect the company’s operation and production mode. Apple has indicated that it will resolutely appeal. If the two sides can’t reach a compromise, it will mean a protracted "court war" is about to be staged.

　　■ Comments

　　Hu Tianlong (Research Fellow, Institute of International Monetary Studies, Renmin University of China): The European Commission’s ruling against Apple is a punishment for multinational companies’ tax evasion, and it is also a warning for multinational companies to abuse tax loopholes in various countries to reduce the overall tax burden of the company. At the same time, it also continues the EU’s practice of strengthening control and restrictions on multinational companies operating in EU member countries in recent years.

　　At present, nearly 3/4 of the global top 500 multinational companies evade taxes and reduce the tax cost of the group through various tax avoidance plans and means. These companies set up operations in offshore financial centers such as Bermuda, Ireland, Luxembourg and the Netherlands to avoid or delay the payment of huge amounts of taxes. Specifically, Apple adopted a clever tax planning called "double Irish sandwich with Dutch sandwich" to avoid tax. Apple registered its subsidiaries in Europe, the Middle East, India, Africa, Asia and the Pacific in Cork, Ireland, which means that two-thirds of Apple’s total global revenue is generated by Irish employees who only account for 4% of the total global employees.

　　The European Commission’s ruling itself is indeed suspected of interfering with the tax jurisdiction of the Irish government. To some extent, the implementation of the ruling by the European Commission has brought considerable uncertainty to the implementation and management of tax administration by EU member States. Except Ireland and Apple, which were dissatisfied with the ruling and said they would appeal, the White House and the Treasury both criticized and opposed the ruling.

　　It can be predicted that the ruling will definitely do harm to the EU in attracting foreign investment and maintaining the stability of employment and jobs. What’s more, the ruling may affect the negotiation of the transatlantic trade and investment partnership agreement (TTIP) between the United States and the European Union, and have a negative impact on the economic and trade cooperation and political mutual trust between the European Union and the United States.
