　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our Party has further deepened its understanding of the laws governing the Party in an all-round way under the new situation, and its application in practice has become more conscious. At the Second Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Supreme Leader systematically and profoundly summed up the important experience of strictly administering the Party in an all-round way since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, namely, "persisting in the unity of ideological party building and institutional party management, adhering to the unity of mission guidance and problem orientation, and persisting in grasping ‘ Key minority ’ Heguan ‘ The vast majority ’ Unify, adhere to the unity of exercising power and taking responsibility, adhere to the unity of strict management and caring for trust, and adhere to the unity of inner-party supervision and mass supervision. " These experiences are precious and need our long-term persistence and deepening. It is of great significance for our party to study and grasp the law of strictly administering the party in an all-round way under the new situation, to improve the scientific level of party building, to uphold and strengthen the overall leadership of the party, to lead the great struggle, the great cause and finally to realize the great dream.

　　It is the basic feature and essential requirement of Marxism to be good at understanding and grasping the law and doing things according to it. Strictly administering the party in an all-round way, like other things, has its own laws. The Communist Party of China (CPC) is a Marxist political party known for its strictness. "To govern the country, we must govern the party first, and the party must be strict." Since its establishment, the Communist Party of China (CPC) clearly put forward and vigorously advocated strict management of the party and the party, and regarded it as the core concept of strengthening self-construction and the basic requirement for party member cadres. In 1929, Gutian Conference established the principle of ideological party building and political army building according to the erroneous ideas of pure military viewpoint, rogue thought, individualism, extreme democratization and absolute average existing in the party and army at that time. During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Yan ‘an rectification movement was carried out to solve the problems of subjectivism, sectarianism and stereotyped Party writing, which promoted the establishment of the ideological line of seeking truth from facts within the whole party. On the eve of the national victory of the China Revolution, faced with the pride, the pause for progress and the desire for pleasure, our Party put forward the thought of "Two Musts" and a series of measures to strictly manage the Party. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, guided by the ideological line of seeking truth from facts, the Party concentrated the wisdom of the whole party, constantly thought deeply about how to strictly manage the Party in power, and accumulated valuable experience in party building in practice, such as focusing on ideological party building, attaching importance to branch building and cadre team building, and advocating criticism and self-criticism.Adhere to close contact with the masses and so on. These proven experiences are of great significance to the comprehensive and strict administration of the Party.

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has insisted that the Party should manage the Party strictly, made new plans and new arrangements for Party building from a strategic height, and formed the idea of comprehensively and strictly administering the Party. "Strictly administering the Party in an all-round way" not only comes down in one continuous line with the fine tradition of the Party, but also focuses on the new historical conditions, which endows the new era connotation of "strictly administering the Party" and makes the management of the Party more solid and more in line with the practical needs. Scientific basis and fundamental compliance. For example, adhere to the close combination of ideological party building and institutional party management, and solve the problems of party member cadres’ ideals, beliefs and value pursuit through ideological party building; Governing the party through the system solves the problems of behavioral norms and restraint supervision. Governing the party by system is inseparable from the guidance of scientific thought, and the achievements and regularity of ideological party building depend on the system to guarantee and consolidate the party; Adhere to the unity of grasping the "key minority" and managing the "overwhelming majority". To manage the party, the party should first manage cadres and strictly manage the party, and the key is to strictly manage officials. Strictly administering the Party in an all-round way not only sets universal requirements for party member, but also sets higher and stricter standards for "key minorities", especially senior cadres. It is necessary to effectively strengthen supervision over leading cadres and always maintain a high-pressure situation of punishing corruption; Adhering to the unity of mission guidance and problem orientation, the whole party should, with the political courage of self-revolution, focus on solving the outstanding problems existing in the party itself and constantly enhance the party’s ability of self-purification, self-improvement, self-innovation and self-improvement.To withstand the "four major tests" and overcome the "four dangers", we must also focus on the future, strengthen overall planning and strengthen top-level design.

　　Over the past 90 years since the founding of the Party, it is precisely because we have constantly summed up the laws governing Party building, always placed Party building in an important position, and strictly managed the Party that our Party has always maintained its advanced nature and purity, and United and led the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country to continuously win great victories in the cause of revolution, construction and reform. Strictly administering the Party in an all-round way is a tough battle and a protracted war. We should not only adhere to the experience of "six unifications", but also deepen our understanding of the laws governing the Party and create new experiences, so as to ensure that the Party will always be in the forefront of the times, wholeheartedly supported by the people, brave in self-revolution, able to withstand all kinds of storms and tests, and full of vigor and vitality.

2018 is one of the most important years in the history of games, so important that even V Club suddenly remembered something and released a card game "Artifact" at the end of the year. This game was put on the shelves for two weeks, and the price was reduced. The pre-order players were played as monkeys. The low profit of Krypton led to full setbacks, and the operation and public relations were rubbish. But the game is a good game, and there are many people who shout loudly and fight for thousands of hours, but the slots are unbearable. This is not only "Artifact", but also 2018.

The card game "Artifact" of V Club received mixed comments.

The game smells good.

The quality of the game this year is beyond imagination. I don’t know if your hands are still there. Anyway, I typed this article with chopsticks in my mouth.

Monster Hunter: The WorldIt’s a good start. Since it went online at 0: 00 on January 26th, 2018, the game server has been in a state of collapse for a long time, which makes it impossible for players in mainland China to play online and receive distribution tasks. To tell the truth, although the series was restarted after a lapse of four years, it has a considerable popularity base in Northeast Asia, but a very hard-core action game can be sold like this, which fully shows that this player is full of money and money. Even I, who had a hard time playing action games and had no hands, bought a copy and put it in the content library. It is still a mystery why Capcom can bring phenomenal level every time he changes jobs.

Monster Hunter: The World

Shortly after the start of the second quarter, all players’ attention was paid.fighting for loveAttract the past. This is a subversive work. None of the old players can imagine what "God of War" would be like without the jump button, and there was a lot of ridicule at one time. But after the game was released, they all shut up and walked into the vast Nordic world with reverence in the interaction between their old parents and their old mothers and their Xiong Haizi. Their surprise didn’t end-"This is the end?" "There is red equipment?" "Wait, what’s my son’s name? ！” If there was a game before that was named as a model of combining movie audio-visual language with games, please forget them, and a new version of the textbook has been published. A director, please look at the long shots. When IGN and Game Spot announced the score of this work, they persisted for five years. Cory Barlog, the producer who withstood numerous pressures, shed tears for the camera. He thanked all of you for accompanying him through this journey. This is like the line in Ready Player One: "Thank you for playing my game". No, thank you. Just like thanking Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One and Cameron for putting gunnm on the big screen, the movie version of gunnm has kept me waiting since junior high school. Every wait can bear fruit, which is a classic and romantic thing. For players, this is a personal insistence on good memories like the Day of the Dead.

fighting for love

Look at the future. Although Cyberpunk 2077 hasn’t arrived yet, a society full of bionic people is close at hand. We can start from Detroit, where we don’t know why it has revived, and explore the new mysteries of human civilization. Three bionic people, three stories, 513 characters, 35,000 shots, more than 70,000 cutscenes, more than 2,000 pages of game scripts, more than 5 million lines of code and a cost of $230 million. Such a masterpiece of burning money (Detroit: Being Human) It’s actually a interactive movie, which reminds me of the perfect masterpiece "428: Shibuya Blocked" ten years ago. Comparing the two, I can’t help feeling that the times are changing rapidly, and the little electric donkey can’t catch up. But there is no change in the changes. Isn’t "428" just like many other games, it was announced to be re-released? The contrast between the two works shows that the times have changed and remained unchanged at a glance. The changed part must include that the scores of Fami Pass and IGN are now a joke.

Detroit: Being Human

Another game that stands at the forefront isMarvel Comics Spider-ManThis may be the first game that claims to drain the PS4 Pro but insists on locking it for 30 frames. Dragging spider silk around the new york market, its refreshing feeling is obviously far more than the "leap of faith" in the series of Assassin’s Creed and "jumping a building for fun" in the series of "Killing the prototype". However, the combat system is actually a dark knight style that cancels the block counterattack mechanism, and the speed at which the enemy’s blood tank drops even makes people suspect that they are really just bitten by a tarantula. This may be a common problem in this generation of 3A games. They occasionally cling to outdated game fillers, such as the boring repetitive sideline tasks to earn tokens. Only 20 hours of play time also makes people don’t know what to say.

Marvel Comics Spider-Man

In this seemingly stagnant era, innovation is sometimes like nostalgia.True Three Kingdoms Warriors 8It’s not surprising to be called a sieve. The reform of the action system can’t see the actual meaning. The QTE that comes out easily will make people think that it is a semi-finished product of Samu 3 with a new skin. The reform of the open world only means more collection materials, longer riding distance, longer playing time and looser game experience. The animation of the series "The Warriors of Three Kingdoms" is often used by page games as false advertisements. Glory tells players with strength that "The Warriors of Three Kingdoms" can be very similar to page games as long as they really work hard and forge ahead. This is the most regretful game I bought this year, and there is no one.

True Three Kingdoms Warriors 8

Not only is this series in trouble, but the Japanese game industry seems to have lost its direction as a whole. When facing the barbarians at the door, they can only silently pull out their ancestral Tiancong Yunjian model, pretend to resist, and then lie flat on the spot.Soul power 6Probably the last work in the series, this personal style looks like a cowboy carnival today.God eater 3Driving backwards, even the setting of "predation style" was cancelled, and the content was castrated by half. Glory actually ran to giveSerpent 3I applied for the Guinness Book of World Records with the most optional roles, but the quality is nothing more than a mediocre return and minor repairs. And the usual cold rice,Such as Dragon 3, Ghost Warrior: Remastered Edition, Cunninghamia lanceolata 1+2….. but the rice is so cold that even heating is not required.Ghost Warrior: Remastered Edition, also calculate refreshed the lower limit of day factory moral integrity.Country of Two 2The low degree of completion makes it hard to believe that this is a level-5 game.Battlefield Valkyria 4As steady as the first generation, that’s all.

Year-endThe brave fight the dragon: building a connoisseur 2andEye of the trialIt is a little face for Japanese games. Who would have thought that a construction game is much more charming than the series itself? Some players saidThe brave fight the dragon 11It is "Watching and Watching", which is the kind of work that has free time to watch one episode, and skipping a few episodes will have no effect. Not yet, it should be regarded as a report performance of kindergarten. Some people can be intoxicated with childlike innocence, and some people can’t help but want to beat the naive head teacher. Since the middle of the year, Niigata has been jealous of the beauty fans who have Connor’s little brother’s face to lick, and some female players even started their first game machine for this purpose. And at the end of the year, His Royal Highness Kimura Takuya arrived late. "Eye of the Trial" and "Dragon 6" are exactly the same, with the same stars and the same gameplay, but the game did not choose to reproduce the face of Kimura Temple when it was young. I guess the technical ability is really insufficient. For the old players in the series, playing "Dragon 6" may still have some new ideas. All kinds of outdated settings and law-related links without technical content in "Eye of the Trial" always make people suspect that this is an old HD cold rice version of the game.

Pokémon: Pikachu/Ibrahimovic

Fortunately, there is Nintendo. In the local sales list in Japan, Nintendo successfully butchered the version, and taught players what is really fragrant with a series of combination punches. On innovation,Pokémon: Pikachu/IbrahimovicDirectly abandoned the series characteristics of hatching eggs, flashing and field fighting, and grafted the mobile version of the combat system. Old players are naturally very upset, drooling and hating Qi Fei, but after playing, they all express that they look like their mother, just love to worry about things.Kabi of the Stars: Nova Alliance, donkey kong: Tropical Freezing, Mario+Crazy Rabbit: Battle of the Kingdom, Super Mario Party.….. As long as the old IP doesn’t float, it is inevitable to occupy a position on the sales list, not to mentionNintendo Star WarsSuch a masterpiece. add toTravelers from all directions,"Excalibur 2"Ira, the land of goldDLC、The Brave Fight the Dragon: Little Creator 2Blessed, if in 2017, PS4 players can still ridicule NS players for only "Breath of the Wilderness", then in 2018, the relationship between them will become a game that can’t be played, so there is no time to ridicule.

Nintendo Star Wars

I suddenly found one thing. Is the platform that monopolized the most games in 2018 … ……PC? This year’s PC game is more like a buffet with rich dishes, each with its own characteristics and beautiful, but because one person only needs 998, Alba white truffles will not be eaten. There are so many interesting games to choose from on the PC, fromForestarrive《Beholder 2》, from《GRIS》arriveDouble point hospitalBut the most expensive dishes are basically from other restaurants. The biggest surprise for PC players this year may be that there isEternal Pillar 2: The Fire of DeathSuch works that stick to the characteristics of PC game types.

Eternal Pillar 2: The Fire of Death

In terms of new year’s goods,Live Football 2019and《FIFA2019》As steady as an old dog, the former has gone further and further on the road of drawing gold boxes, while the latter has exhausted every advantage of the exclusive copyright in the Champions League, and the results are not bad. You can’t ask too much in odd years.《NBA2K19》Not to mention it, the evaluation of NBA 2K in recent years is not good, and the localization operation in 2018 is a disaster. After playing ball, you can order snakes to eat in karaoke. There is a strange mosquito-repellent incense burner in the room, and 95% of China’s names are two words. Most players have no chance to talk about the localization of the game, and they can’t connect to the server at all. The most stable new year’s product is Extreme Racing: Horizon 4, with a panoramic view of the British Isles, rich weather system, precise physical engine, social closed loop and explosive vehicle skill tree complement each other. This is the best viewing simulator in history, except for occasional disconnection. There is also a new year’s goods-Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. I don’t quite understand the operation of producing a Assassin’s Creed a year. It’s not bad, just a little too much. Originally, I thought it was just a new year’s work to change the skin and send bugs. Who wants to achieve such a high degree of completion? Ubisoft’s exploration in history education is really amazing. And who would have thought that it was not Ubisoft who bought bugs and sent games in 2018, but Bei Sesta.

Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey

The second half of PC players belongs to shooting games.Call of Duty 15: Black ops 4, Battlefield V, killer 2, Self-Defense 4 and Radiation 76.. There’s nothing to say about shooting games, just have fun. The most interesting news about shooting games in 2018 may be that Florian-DRUNKKZ3, the core gameplay designer of Battlefield V, was too immortal in Black ops 4 and passively regarded the title. Self-defense 4 is an out-and-out semi-finished product, and its unreliability is more than ten times higher than that of Radiation 76. "Radiation 76" is really a masterpiece in the world, and it is enough to go down in history. Players may never know why there are bugs in "Radiation 3" but not in "Radiation 4", which is a game that almost changes the skin of "Radiation 4".

Radiation 76

I have counted so much, but this year can only represent the achievements of the game industry.Fistful of dollars 2. Mamoru Oshii, who works only three hours a day, said that movies have lagged behind the games, and he has been ahead of the times for a whole year. If this man, who claims to stand on his own feet only by looting and killing, sees the complicated karmic system of fistful of dollars 2, I wonder what it will be like for a while. The production cost of "fistful of dollars II" is about three times that of "grand theft auto v" (about 800 million US dollars), the development cycle is 8.5 years, 2,000 pages of scripts, 500,000 dialogues, 300,000 shots, and a group of thoroughbred horses for motion capture. The most expensive movie in film history is Pirates of the Caribbean 4: Rough Waves, which costs about $380 million, and the series is the worst, followed by Marvel Comics’s superhero movies. Putting the strategies of Marvel Universe and R Star together, we can see a new problem. If the film industry does not find the theme of superheroes and draw elements from sub-cultures such as games and animation to create revelry, it will probably stagnate, and the bottleneck of the film industry has arrived. The practice of piling up materials in the open world and attracting players with higher, faster and stronger skills has also caused great controversy here in fistful of dollars 2. Do players really need such a real game? Or to put it another way, can extreme reality really bring players enough immersion to keep their psychological time and real time in sync, so as not to produce any negative emotions of irritability and anxiety? The theme of superheroes and the exploration of the open world are not over yet, and the outcome of games and movies has not yet been decided. But to be honest, with such excellent narrative ability of R star,Everything is right. I still remember Mike jumping off the plane in a trance state, which was the highlight of the literary experience.

Xbox One S？ What is this?

Fistful of dollars 2

Domestic games are full of setbacks

Such a highlight moment does not belong to the domestic game in 2018. In terms of output, 2018 is a big year for domestic games, but the quality is not going up, but it tells a bunch of stories that make players frustrated.

There is a cost of $160,000 in the beginning of the year.Portia timeWarm-up field, a small game, has been successfully selected into the list of the hottest new products of Steam, which makes people inexplicably look forward to small and beautiful human products. There are really many such "small and beautiful" this year. Most of them tell a good story outside the game, but none of them can play.

The road to redemptionIf it is a girl, it may be the kind that will use Mito mobile phone to cheat. Watching the preview is simply exploding, the Boss battle like black soul, the atmosphere and design that look good, and the anti-game design of Level Down all make this session of Shake M players look forward to it. But if you really play it, you will find that the game card is at the end, the sound effect is very strange, and the experience is just mediocre.

It took five years, cost 400 million yuan and invested more than 200 people to develop it. Good story, right?Cold against the waterIs it a good game? Nobody knows. I only know three o’clock. First, no matter how much Netease pays, I really don’t want to see its advertisement when the N card is updated. Breathe? Breathing is expensive; Second, Wang Sicong is really rich, and capital games are also games; Third, Netease will ruin its own game by changing its skin, and whether it can let Blizzard go.

Martial artsIt is another story. It sounds good outside the game. The martial arts version eats chicken. Is there a Chinese style? It’s not like that when you really play. If you have weapons, you have to have skills, learn skills in situ, save blue stripes PK, and you can’t beat a person in a few minutes. The matching mechanism can make people crazy enough to scratch their bald heads.

Taiwu Painting VolumeIt is a model of selling millions of sales by stories. How much fun is it? In the final analysis, it is a word simulation game with good randomness. But the story of the game maker is really attractive, the development team of four people, the bloody idiot who taught himself to program, and the inexplicable and uncontrollable code. Four words, craftsman spirit, I am not satisfied that this game has not won the "Five Ones" project award.

Knight riderThe same is true. Martial arts, cultivation, after many failures, of course, there are still players who will pay for these two labels, such as me. But I really didn’t expect Wu Yagu’s feelings to pay the bill like this, so I quickly quit, for fear of missing the refund time. Tearing around plagiarism and creativity outside the game is much more interesting than the game itself. On the day of the launch, the producer was forced to quit the official exchange group, and everyone tasted it.

Mini worldIt is the kind of work that makes you doubt the world. You know that every pixel of it is copied, and a little innovation has been made in the details, which can be even higher than the original. You don’t know what’s wrong, and you don’t know whether you live in Saramago’s world, where everyone is inexplicably blind.

The stories in the old game series are even more interesting.Legend of Heroic Heroes, the legendary work of "Wizard 3", the content is pitiful, the fighting system is mentally retarded, the lens is strange, the mold is frequently worn, and the optimization is extremely poor. The most interesting thing is that two hours after the game was released, Xu Changlong voiced in Weibo: "Heluo can fall, but the national list can’t fall!" The list of countries has not fallen. Fantasy Three Kingdoms are still alive, so don’t bother to remember. With the same dubbing team as Heluo, Destiny and Miraculousness not only did not have the same problems in dubbing, but also won a good reputation with its good quality. The biggest surprise is stillSwords of legends 3, use the familiar engine, polish the combat system, and tell a good story. Players really don’t have high requirements for domestic games. By contrast, it is clear at a glance who is doing something seriously and who is drawing a pie.

Swords of legends 3

The new year’s goods of domestic games are "starting with a dog, all the equipment depends on playing" and "new version of the boat, love like intermediary games" New year’s goods are innovative, from a knife 999 to equipment second recycling, to the size of Kun, a pot can not be put down, the domestic game new year’s goods in the lower right corner of the page have been evolving. Moreover, this story is far from finished. Players will never know who will come out in armor next. Won’t Jackie Chan just sit still at the end of the year? There are two lines in Gangdom, "What a fucking hypocrisy!" And "if you have money, everyone will earn it!" , Hong Kong star, or Hong Kong film said the most meat.

But counting up, in the domestic game stories in 2018, the most inexplicable, funny and burning are the following three.Chinese parentsTelling a sketch story with a repeated play value of almost zero and a level of 4,399 has aroused widespread concern, even the attention of the art world, which makes me feel as if this is not 2018, but when the Flash game just emerged, I was sitting in the Internet cafe watching the little stick figure fight with a fan. This can lead to a great discussion about realism in the game and art circles, so it’s no wonder that Zhifei Bi has held symposiums in turn in several famous schools.

The funniest story comes from a military simulation game. At the end of May, a model namedStrong armyThe game went online in beta and disappeared immediately. The producer jumped out and said that the description of the destruction of the Minnitz-class aircraft carrier in the first test version was too sensitive and was banned by the US Department of Culture. America? Ministry of Culture?

The most burning story is only one sentence, Invictus Gaming is awesome!

IG won the championship and once screened many people’s social networks.

Operational public relations and garbage

Has anyone ever seen a hardware manufacturer boast that their products are so good that plug-ins are not stuck? All the players in 2018 saw it. At Dell’s new product launch conference in April, when Sally, a spokesperson, introduced the G series game books, she praised China players for being "very creative" in the use of plug-ins, and also popularized several plug-ins in detail with PPT. what can I say? I can’t smash my Dell computer and never buy it again.

In terms of game manufacturers, Bei Sesta made great contributions, washing Ubisoft white and white. First, the canvas bag promised to the pre-order player of Radiation 76 turned into a nylon bag. After a long silence, the measure of filling out the application form to replace the product was finally introduced, and then the player information was leaked. This wave of operation bored the players, and the anger was sprayed into a meter of sunshine, stained with half a foot of sadness.

Blizzard is also good, of course, half of this is due to Netease. After strongly rendering the news of Diablo’s new work, this new work was announced at the finale of the press conference … It’s a mobile game, and it’s a skinning mobile game of Netease. The scene was suddenly silent. At this moment, designer Yang said, "Do you guys not have phones?" Yes, I can also use it to scold you. That’s not all. David Breivik, once the father of Diablo, exploded a pile of black materials of blizzard, and said that he was a drunken gaffe. Designers currently working for Blizzard couldn’t sit still and decided to come to Boda themselves. In an anonymous interview with Kotaku, a designer declared that "Diablo’s mobile game was of course developed for the China market … because the quality standards of rival games in China, especially in terms of frames, are very low, and the release of works regarded as’ beta’ by Europe and America will be considered as a complete game by China." Two companies with the initials B contributed two major dramas in 2018. The name of this story should be called "2018·2B". Followed by SE, I don’t know for what reason, the pricing and price reduction of Tomb Raider: Shadow are very confusing. Remember to call me the next time the strong wind blows the player’s money.

The new work "Diablo: Immortality" of "Big Pineapple" released by Blizzard is actually a skin-changing mobile game.

On the other hand, the offline platform is rapidly failing. Sony’s withdrawal from E3 can be regarded as a landmark event, but after understanding it, it was found that this board was probably going to hit the operator’s ass. According to E3 regulations, any articles that can’t be carried by a single person by hand should be transported by the company designated by the organizer. Booth decoration can also only choose designated manufacturers. I always knew that players would be plucked and played as fools, but I didn’t expect manufacturers to be plucked by geese. No wonder Devin Coldewey, a digital blogger, said, "It (E3) is extremely stupid. Game companies spend millions of dollars to show content that is essentially false to an increasingly tired audience, which is increasingly out of sync with the operation mode of the game industry, so it is not surprising that Sony has withdrawn. "

On the other hand, it’s hot online. Mamoru Oshii was partly right, that is, there are indeed more and more people who would rather stay in the living room and watch live video games than walk into the cinema. Twitch made history, and the number of online viewers in the "CS: GO》Major finals even exceeded 1 million, setting a record. In the game-related content, not only the viewers of the anchors headed by Ninja are rising, but also the video viewers of "Just Chatting" are alarmingly high. This shows that cloud players have officially become a major genre among players in this year.

Throughout 2018, cloud players continued to brush their sense of existence. First of all, after the new "God of War" came out, I persistently spoke of its "bad sense of attack". This kind of thing is a matter of opinion, and it’s nothing, but it’s very spiritual to say "first of all, I haven’t played this game" in the comments. When "Detroit" was put on the shelves, they crouched in the major live broadcast rooms and watched the content all over again, and then devoted themselves to harming real players for giant fanatics. Of course, there are times when they are impatient. fistful of dollars 2 is too slow and the riding time is too long. The anchors don’t know how to chat with the audience, and the audience really didn’t insist on watching it, which made it leave the hot spot of live broadcast.

We may regard these cloud players as the third camp. They spray players as well as manufacturers. While consuming game content, they have brushed all the places where they can brush their sense of existence with an ancestral heart. However, it is precisely because of their existence that every public relations and operation event in the game industry will trigger a frenzy of anger than ever before, which may force manufacturers to be better to players.

The game industry really needs to change, not only manufacturers and players, but also sales platforms. Look at the names that have dominated the list all the year round on Steam. Of course, they are all good games, but it also shows in disguise how unfriendly Steam’s wonderful sharing strategy is to small and medium-sized producers. Wegame is a useful attempt, but there have been two large-scale events this year, which makes Wegame’s prospects dim. The emergence of showstopper such as Epic also makes the position of Steam less indestructible. In 2019, the change is imminent. Let’s pick up the melon in our hands and keep watching.

　　Cctv newsAccording to the website of the National Bureau of Statistics, the latest data of the National Bureau of Statistics show that in 2022, the total social research and experimental development (R&D) funds in China will continue to maintain double-digit growth, and the total investment will reach a new level of 3 trillion yuan; The investment intensity of R&D funds increased rapidly, reaching a new height of 2.5%.

　　1. R&D funds grew steadily, exceeding 3 trillion yuan for the first time.

　　In 2022, due to multiple unexpected factors, the R&D activities of the whole society were affected to some extent. However, the policy of adding and deducting R&D expenses of enterprises continued to increase, and the mechanism of scientific and technological awards and incentives continued to improve, effectively stimulating the innovation vitality of market players, and the R&D investment of enterprises still maintained double-digit growth, driving the total R&D investment of the whole society to a new level. According to preliminary calculations, in 2022, China’s R&D investment reached 3,087 billion yuan, which exceeded the 3 trillion mark for the first time, up by 10.4% over the previous year, and has maintained double-digit growth for seven consecutive years since the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan. Calculated at constant prices, R&D expenditure increased by 8.0%[1], which was higher than the target of "the total social R&D expenditure increased by more than 7% annually" in the Tenth Five-Year Plan.

　　Second, the investment intensity increased rapidly, reaching a new level of more than 2.5%.

　　According to preliminary estimates, in 2022, the investment intensity of R&D funds (the ratio of R&D funds to GDP) in China reached 2.55%, reaching a new high, with an increase of 0.12 percentage points over the previous year [2], which was significantly higher than the average annual growth rate (0.07 percentage points) since the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan, and achieved rapid improvement. From the international comparison [3], China’s R&D expenditure intensity ranks 12th among the major countries in the world, surpassing innovative countries such as France (2.35%) and the Netherlands (2.32%), and further approaching the average level of OECD countries (2.67%). According to the Global Innovation Index (GII) released by the World Intellectual Property Organization in 2022, China’s scientific and technological innovation performance ranked 11th among 132 economies, up one place from the previous year. Since 2013, China’s ranking has increased by 24 places, and it has maintained a steady upward trend for 10 consecutive years.

　　Third, basic research has maintained growth and new breakthroughs have been made in original innovation.

　　According to preliminary calculations, in 2022, China’s basic research expenditure was 195.1 billion yuan, an increase of 7.4% over the previous year; The proportion of R&D funds was 6.32%, down 0.18 percentage points from the previous year, but it was still at the second highest level in history, and remained above 6% for four consecutive years, which played a positive role in the continuous improvement of China’s original innovation capability. The state attaches great importance to basic research. In 2022, the expenditure on basic research in the budget of the central government at the corresponding level increased by 7% compared with the previous year. The construction of national laboratories and the reorganization of national key laboratories were accelerated, and the research center for basic disciplines was started. A series of new major breakthroughs were made, such as the national major scientific and technological infrastructure "steady-state strong magnetic field experimental device" to create a steady-state strong magnetic field with a field strength of 452,200 gauss.

　　Despite the multiple adverse factors, China’s R&D investment continues to grow steadily, which has injected great vitality into innovation and development. However, we should also see that there is still a big gap between us and the requirements of accelerating the construction of a strong country in science and technology and realizing self-reliance and self-improvement in high-level science and technology. In the next step, we should fully implement the spirit of the 20th Party Congress, adhere to the orientation of self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology policies, encourage and guide all parties to increase investment in R&D, especially in original innovation, and strive to promote the transformation of R&D investment from "big" to "strong", so as to provide strong support for the construction of a strong country in science and technology.

　　Note:

　　[1] Except here, the growth rate of other indicators in this paper is the current price growth rate.

　　[2] According to the final revision of GDP in 2021 by the National Bureau of Statistics, the investment intensity of R&D funds in 2021 was correspondingly revised to 2.43%.

Blossoms Shanghai, which was launched with high fever at the end of the year, drew a satisfactory conclusion for the entertainment market in 2023, and also made the public have new expectations and pursuits for the audio-visual content in the new year. In this context, how does the entertainment market arrange its troops in content to meet the higher needs of users? Here, I read the comprehensive map of the drama in January, from which I can also find some new industry trends.

Blossoms Shanghai, who focused on Shanghai’s development wave in the 1990s, just finished, followed by "Years Like Songs", which focused on the economic wave in the 1990s, and "Love for a long time", which was set in the 1990s and told the story of seven only children in the North Aerospace Family Courtyard, which presented the humanistic features from different perspectives in the 1990s. Judging from the current broadcast effect, the former scored 8.5 points, which is a rare word-of-mouth drama, while the latter has a good popularity.

Returning to the reality level, the urban theme characterized by differentiated painting styles and concentrated layout is still the main support of the drama market in January. From the urban drama "You also have today" and "There are many stories in a small town", to the inspirational cure "If running is my life", and then to "Our Translator" featuring "double A", we can enrich the content layout of realistic dramas with diverse plot styles, and at the same time avoid users’ aesthetic fatigue.

The final result is gratifying-"If running is my passion for life" broke 8500 in the iQiyi station, and "Our Translator" broadcast by the network ranked first in the ratings list of csm71 Satellite TV Golden Theater TV series for many times.　 　

Xianxia circuit was contracted by IP of "Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man" series. Specifically, there are three series of fairy sword works, namely, Pray for the Present (adapted from the domestic stand-alone game Legend of the Fairy Sword and the Chivalrous Man 6) and Fairy Sword 4, which were launched on Tencent Video and iQiyi respectively, and three series of fairy sword works, Legend of the Fairy Sword and the Chivalrous Man, chinese paladin 3 and Fairy Sword Clouds, were broadcast free of charge in Youku within a limited time, which constituted "Fairy Four, Fairy Six Fight, Fairy" This new and old Xianjian IP has attracted many loyal fans to follow the drama, and the final evaluation is mixed. It remains to be seen who will laugh at the end.

Take different drama elements as the incision, and innovate the opening way of suspense drama. Or featuring the fantasy of ancient costumes, The Apocalypse combines the ancient fantasy book Shan Hai Jing with the western Cthulhu culture to refresh the public’s understanding of Chinese suspense dramas; Or taking the investigation of a single case as the main line, the suspense criminal investigation drama "Black Soil Silent" was called the Northeast version of The Knockout by fans, which became another footnote of the Northeast film and television drama; Or take the once-popular infinite flow as the plot fulcrum, 19th Floor tells the story that college students such as Chun Yu and others are involved in the game named 19th Floor with a suspenseful and adventurous style.

In addition, there are dramas with different themes, such as the anti-US aid Korea drama "Reconnaissance Hero" and the romantic drama "The Past" of the Republic of China, which are also popular on the TV platform, and also have good attention among the target audience.

Under the shadow of Blossoms Shanghai’s afterheat, the drama market in January started with high-quality dramas such as "The Years of Great Rivers are Like Songs" and "Black Soil is Silent". From the current point of view, although there is still room for improvement in terms of content reputation and popularity, it is fortunate that there are a variety of drama types and the basic calculation of the overall market is stable, as The Knockout did at the beginning of last year. Perhaps, for the platform, the next "Flowers" and "Hurricane" are already on the way.

Looking back at the variety market in January, the satellite TV platform is mainly based on the classic N-generation programs, such as Southeast Satellite TV, Jiangsu Satellite TV, Hunan Satellite TV and Beijing Radio and Television Station, which respectively launched the talk show "One Day in Luyu" in the 12th season, the brain sports reality show "super brain" in the strong return of international competitions in the 11th season, and the star-element combined music variety show "I want to sing with you" with the key words, and the documentary observation.

It is worth noting that Pang Bo served as the convener of the China team in the eleventh season of super brain, and with the super-fast problem-solving speed, the topic that # Pang Bo is worthy of having three lines of code in space #, # Pombo and super brain are in granularity alignment # caused a heated discussion. As for the video platform, the annual variety "Mao Xuewang" is the representative of the N generation, and it will be launched in the winter season at the end of this month, and will continue to tell the real and interesting stories between Mao Bu, Li Xueqin and their friends in "Mao Xuewang’s Home".

In addition to the classic trump card, the new "comprehensive 2 generation" began to emerge in the variety market in the new year. CCTV, Dragon TV, Zhejiang Satellite TV and Mango TV respectively launched a large-scale cultural program "Poetry and Painting China 2" with the theme of rivers, a happy sharing show "Open Wheat Tonight 2", an interesting variety show "Jia Kang Jia Nian Wei 2" with the themes of "Experience of Different Dynasties" and "Going to the New Year Dinner for the Millennium", and "Village Chief Li Rui, Shi Kai and Huang Wenjin as" hometown exploration ". The second season.

Judging from the "Comprehensive Generation 2" film list, most of the content themes are biased towards the main theme. However, relatively speaking, "Open Wheat 2 Tonight" is even more out of the loop. Thanks to the guests’ bold opening on the stage, they have gained a lot of attention. # Kym first appeared on the show and responded that she was 19 years older than her boyfriend #, # Kym responded to the called female oil king #, # Moka Fang responded to taking economy class #, # Gina used kiss to reduce Lang Lang’s fever # and other related videos have a good spread.

Variety derivative also has new content dynamics. On the one hand, it is a continuation. The "Detective 9 Detective Concert" broadcast in two sessions still continues the payment mode. The first broadcast volume has reached 6000w+, which shows the strong purchasing power of fans. On the other hand, it broke the boundary of the original program content. Tencent video’s characteristic workplace variety "Exciting offer" launched the group comprehensive "offer to Adjust the Bureau". One of the producers of the program was the investigation team (formerly the Ming investigation team), which opened a new door to workplace reasoning with classic werewolf killing. The data of the weekly list of Guduo Variety Heat Index shows that the "offer Best Tune" has climbed to the second place on the list in less than a week and has become a new representative of derivative programs.

New variety shows continue to be updated, such as the documentary program "Ten Thousand Years of Life" launched by Mango TV, the special program "Young People See the World" of Hunan NPC and CPPCC in 2024, and the listening talk show "Listen to You Say So" hosted by Li Jing, which focuses on the track of documentary, NPC and CPPCC, interviews and other content, focusing on steady progress.

On the whole, the variety track in the opening year of 2024 is still in the initial layout stage, which is mainly based on the recognized comprehensive N-generation and a small number of new programs, and it has not brought too many innovations and surprises in the program types and modes. Occasionally, some program fragments can set off a small-scale discussion on social platforms, but the whole has not brought a clear signal to the variety market in the new year.

However, it is worth mentioning that Tencent Video released the list of comedy variety shows in 2024, and many different comedy variety shows such as Comedy Conference, Wonderful Night, Easy Comedy Festival, HAHA MAKER Department Store, Talk Show and Friends of TA will also meet the audience. Presumably, this year’s comedy track will be dazzling and powerful.

Indeed, based on the new year, the major platforms have been gaining momentum for a long time in the layout of the variety and drama sections. Then February will usher in the longest Spring Festival holiday in history. What new points will appear in the drama market? It is worth looking forward to!

　　"Too many American farmers are unhappy, and as the dispute persists, more people are confused about the future." A former congressman from Iowa wrote this at the beginning of his letter to the China media "Shanghai Daily".

　　On June 17th, Shanghai Daily published an in-depth English report by Xinhua News Agency, entitled "Floods and US-China Trade Disputes Bring Disastrous Disastrous by Historical Floods". The article objectively reflects natural disasters and trade disputes, especially the disasters brought by the latter to American farmers. The article mentioned that since the end of March this year, the continuous floods in the midwest of the United States have made local farmers complain. Blake Hurst, president of Missouri Farmers’ Association, said that such a large-scale serious flood that swept across the central and western regions had never happened in his memory of farming for more than 40 years. In addition to natural disasters, the trade dispute with China provoked by the US government has further aggravated the plight of farmers in the Midwest of the United States. Trade disputes have caused a sharp decline in US soybean exports to China, lower soybean prices, greatly reduced farmers’ income, and many farmers are facing economic difficulties. Although the U.S. government launched a subsidy assistance program of $12 billion last year and $16 billion this year, the affected farmers told reporters that they wanted a stable market more than subsidies.

　　Shortly after the article was published, Shanghai Daily received a letter from Greg Cusack, a former representative of Iowa. Kusak said in his letter: "Too many American farmers are unhappy, and as the dispute persists, more people are confused about the future."

　　Kusak pointed out that because "Republicans are used to making a fuss about a single political issue, throwing salt at the wound and the rural areas where the Democratic Party depends on are dying day by day", American farmers feel quite helpless and have no choice. The Democratic Party is far from finding a package solution for agriculture or rural areas, which makes the situation even worse.

　　Kusak also said in his letter that Xinhua News Agency and other related articles published by Shanghai Daily reported on American farmers and other issues extensively and were in line with the facts. In contrast, some American media reports on domestic and foreign news in the United States are very lacking, which is far from meeting the needs of even readers with general knowledge background.

　　In his letter, he also described various manifestations of the increasingly divided American society, and pointed out: "I think the Shanghai Daily is very extensive in reporting these topics of concern, and I hope your newspaper will continue to report these problems in the United States, despite the current trade friction between the United States and China. These problems show that American society is in a dilemma. They include: high student debt (which is also high after graduation), stagnant wages, widening wealth gap and rural difficulties. "

　　This is not the first time that Kusak has written to Shanghai Daily. Wang Yong, deputy editor-in-chief of Shanghai Daily, told The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) that after reading the in-depth comments on Shanghai’s construction of beautiful countryside published by Shanghai Daily, Kusak wrote a special letter praising China’s great efforts to revitalize the countryside under the leadership of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, and pointed out that the support of the two parties in the United States to the countryside was lip service, which led to the decline of American agriculture and rural life. His letter was also published in the commentary section of Shanghai Daily.

　　Kusak was a representative of Iowa, and one of his main tasks was to revitalize rural areas and agriculture in the United States.

　　Wang Yong told The Paper that Kusak has repeatedly supported China’s just position on major issues, such as the South China Sea issue and Internet management, and he has written to actively support China’s position. He also studied the history and traditional culture of China at his own expense. Two years ago, he also facilitated a senior commentator of the Des Moines Chronicle in Iowa to come to Shanghai to interview the Shanghai Daily, affirming China’s news reporting concept. After returning to the United States, the reporter from Des Moines Chronicle wrote an in-depth report on the media, hoping that the United States would stop being biased against the China media.

　　"Kusak has been writing to tell us that the American press is not only the Wall Street press, but also an agricultural state like Iowa. The press is friendly to China, and the report is objective and rational. He hopes that Iowa will make greater contributions to Sino-US friendly cooperation. " Wang Yong said.

　　The report published in Shanghai Daily and the letter from Greg Cusack are as follows.：

　　Midwest farmers devastated by historic floods, ongoing US-China trade tensions

　　(Shanghai Daily, June 17))

　　About 10 days after the latest round of rainfall, half of Tom Waters’ farmland is still under water. “Some of it’ s flooded from the river. Some of it’ s flooded from seep water. Some of it just rain water that has nowhere else to go because it won’ t drain,” said the seventh-generation farmer.

　　Waters and his family farm about 3,500 acres (1,416 hectares) of land in Orrick, Missouri, a small town east of Kansas City. Among his nearly 1, 700-acre rain-soaked fields, 900 acres were swallowed by the surging Missouri River when a levee broke on June 1 and are still up to 4.5 meters below water.

　　He had planted a few acres of corn, with the rest intended for soybeans, but “it’ s just gone now,” Waters told Xinhua, estimating the loss to be “several hundred thousand dollars.”

　　When the flood hit, Waters had to move out some 60,000 bushels (1,633 tons) of soybeans in storage, and sold them at “a pretty low price, ” about US$3 a bushel off the normal price prior to the US-China trade tensions. “That’ s a lot of dollars difference for us,” he said.

　　“This has just been rain after rain. Before it even dries out it rains again. It’ s been week after week after week like that,” said Waters, who has been farming for over 40 years in this area, adding that the persistent wet weather is a “very rare event.”

　　Noting that reservoirs up in Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota still have too much water to dump, the seasoned farmer worried that “the river is going to be high all the rest of spring and through summer, so chances are we won’ t get any of this (flooded land) planted this year.”

　　Blake Hurst, president of the Missouri Farm Bureau, also a corn and soybean farmer in Tarkio, northwest Missouri, told Xinhua that he saw similarly catastrophic floods in this area in 1993, but such a widespread severe flooding throughout the Midwest is the worst he can remember. “The last 12 months, in the center part of the United States, have been the wettest 12 months on record,” said Hurst, who has about 500 acres of land under water, noting that the relentless rain since late March has contributed to significant planting delays.

　　In the biggest corn-producing states, farmers had planted 83 percent of corn acreage by June 9, compared with a five-year average of 99 percent, according to the latest data from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).

　　Hurst, who also has 40-plus years of farming experience, said corn should ideally be planted by the first week of May, and a one-month delay could cut the normal yield by roughly 20 percent, as there might not be enough time for it to mature before the frost hits the ground. The seemingly relentless rain in the Midwest has left farmers dro wning in frustration. On top of that, many growers have been bearing the brunt of the US-initiated trade dispute with China, struggling with financial hardship and facing an uncertain future.

　　“We’ ve seen a big cut in our (soybean) exports to China because of the trade tension, and that’ s caused prices to drop,” Hurst said, adding that several months of trade frictions have “made a big difference” to farmers’ income.

　　Noting that the United States has had five years of above average crop yields, Hurst said that already led to an oversupply. A decline in exports to China, caused by the trade tensions and compounded by the African swine fever outbreak, has worsened the situation, he said.

　　‘ Not a dependable supplier’

　　“It’ s just a combination of all of them that has really made farming kind of difficult this year,” Hurst said. “It just keeps on and coming.”

　　For Waters, a combination of circumstances has made planning nearly impossible. “I think this has been the hardest year to make decisions for me since I’ ve been farming,” he said.

　　Waters said it has been stressful to wait for a resolution to the trade dispute. “You keep thinking, well maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow, then you hear a little bit of good news and maybe the price bumps up a little bit and then that blows up and it goes back down. So it’ s just been difficult,” he said. Hurst, who farms 6,000 acres of land with his family, usually plants corns on half of the acreage and soybeans on the other half. Earlier this year, he had planned to plant 5 to 10 percent more corn because of the trade dispute and lower demand for soybeans. The unusual wet spring, however, makes that goal unfeasible.

　　“Now, anybody that’ s shifting will shift to soybean simply because it’ s too late for corn,” Hurst said, adding that if soybeans don’ t get planted by this week, farmers will start to lose yield as well.

　　However, the USDA data shows that growers in the major soybean-producing states had only planted 60 percent of acreage by June 9, far below a five-year average of 88 percent. Speaking of the newly approved disaster relief bill and the new round of trade aid package, Hurst urged the administration to announce detailed rules of these programs quickly so that farmers can better plan.

　　Noting that it took Congress months to pass the disaster relief bill, Waters said he doesn’ t expect to receive any money until weeks later. Still, he prefers a stable market rather than a trade aid package. “The question has to be, are we losing these markets permanently?” Hurst said, noting that trade tensions in some ways make the United States “not a dependable supplier” for soybeans.

　　“Obviously we’ re going to put tariffs on you. We’ re going to announce tariffs in a tweet. So they can happen at any time. So if I’ m a grain buyer anywhere in the world, I’ m looking for a supplier I can trust, and we’ re no longer that supplier,” he said. “We’ ll be paying for this for years.”

　　Media role in informing US farmers

　　Letter from Gray Kusak, published in Shanghai Daily on June 21st.

　　I wrote this after reading “Midwest farmers devastated by historic floods, ongoing US-China trade tensions” in the Shanghai Daily (June 17). One heck of a lot of farmers in America are not happy, and an even greater number are very worried about how this will all play out, especially the longer the stand-off continues.

　　The age of the average farmer continues to increase, the prices they receive for their crops are stagnant, the costs of the inputs nonetheless are increasing, and corporate mono-crop “farming” is harming land, air, and water (the dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than ever).

　　So, are they just stupid, misinformed, or what?

　　I think the problem is really the vast division in our country caused by the culture wars — the real, but deliberately exaggerated, tensions between generations, the urban-rural divide, the skillful way the Republicans keep single-issue politics picked raw, and the marked decline in rural districts that are Democratic leaning. In a sense, many farmers thus believe that they have nowhere else to go.

　　The Democratic candidates have yet to produce, at least to my knowledge, anything that could remotely be described as a farm or rural program package, making the situation even more dire.

　　I think the wide range of concerns covered by the Shanghai Daily is truly remarkable, and I hope that despite current tensions you will continue to cover matters in the US, including the many indicators that we are a society in deep trouble: such as levels of student debt after graduation, still largely stagnant wages, the ongoing widening disparity of wealth and the genuine plight of rural America. In contrast, newspapers in the US are not doing so well. The Oregonian, the newspaper published in Portland and its metro area of a few million, is nothing like what it was in the recent past.

　　They now deliver paper editions to subscribers only four days a week, expecting that on other days people will use their digital apps to access them. And their national, let alone international, coverage is insufficient to provide the information even half-informed citizens need.

　　The author is a retired US statesman. He now lives in Oregon.

　　The Chinese version of the report published in Shanghai Daily and the article written by Greg Cusack are as follows:

　　Close-up: The spring sowing season with floods and trade disputes has brought too many difficulties to American farmers.

　　(Xinhua News Agency, June 14, 2019)

　　Xinhua News Agency, Auric, USA, June 13th (Reporter Xiong Maoling, Hu Yousong) In Auric, a small town in central Missouri, USA, Tom Waters, who was over 60 years old, pointed to a muddy water area and told Xinhua News Agency that there were nearly 1,000 acres (1 acre is about 0.4 hectares) of his farmland here, but it was a pity that it was flooded after the Missouri River burst its banks earlier this month.

　　The Waters family has been farming for seven generations. At present, they have more than 3,500 acres of farmland, mainly growing soybeans and corn, but half of the farmland has been affected. He said that due to the large amount of water storage in reservoirs in Montana and North Dakota in the upper reaches, it is necessary to open floodgates and flood discharge, and it is estimated that his flooded farmland will not be seen again until the end of the summer.

　　"(The flooded farmland) may not be able to grow anything this year." Waters said helplessly that he expected that the flood would cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars.

　　Since the end of March this year, the continuous floods in the midwest of the United States have made farmers like Waters complain, and the sowing process has been delayed again and again. According to data from the US Department of Agriculture, as of last week, about 83% of corn fields in the United States have been sown, which lags behind the average of 99% in the same period of the past five years; The soybean planting completion rate is 60%, which is also lower than the average level of 88% in the same period of the past five years.

　　Blake Hurst, president of Missouri Farmers’ Association, told reporters that such a large-scale serious flood that swept across the central and western regions had never happened in his memory of farming for more than 40 years. He said that even if the flood recedes, the flooded farmland will have to wait for time for the soil to recover, which means that some farmland will miss the whole sowing season.

　　Hearst said that the best sowing date of corn has passed one month. If we start planting corn now, I am afraid we can only achieve 80% harvest this year. The sowing window of soybeans is also narrowing. If the sowing cannot be completed next week, the soybean output will be affected this year.

　　Not only is it a natural disaster, but the trade dispute with China provoked by the US government has aggravated the plight of farmers in the Midwest of the United States. Hearst said that the trade dispute caused a sharp drop in US soybean exports to China, lower soybean prices, greatly reduced farmers’ income, and many farmers faced economic difficulties.

　　Hearst said that in the past five years, the rare continuous high yield of soybeans and other crops in the United States has already caused an oversupply, while the economic and trade friction has reduced the demand for American soybeans in China, a big market, and the oversupply of American soybeans is even more serious. "These factors are superimposed together, making it difficult for farmers this year."

　　Waters originally hoarded 60,000 bushels of soybeans (1 bushel of soybeans weighs about 27.2 kilograms) for sale when the price picked up. However, due to the flood this spring, he had to transfer his inventory in time and have a sale at a low price. Compared with the soybean price before the Sino-US economic and trade friction, he lost about $180,000.

　　Compared with many farmers, Waters is lucky. It is understood that in Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and other States, floods not only flooded fields, but also swept some barns, and farmers could only watch helplessly as the food that was too late to rush was wiped out.

　　Waters admits that this year is the most difficult year for him to make a decision since he was a farmer, and he has spent many "sleepless nights". He has been expecting the United States and China to reach an agreement as soon as possible to resolve the trade dispute, but the waiting process makes him anxious.

　　"I’ve been thinking about it, maybe tomorrow (an agreement will be reached), and then I heard a little good news, and then the price of soybeans went up a little, and then the expectations failed and the price fell again. This is not easy for all farmers." He said.

　　For Hurst, who owns 6,000 acres of farmland, the planting season this spring is also very difficult. Hearst’s farmland is located in Tacchio, a small town in the northwest corner of Missouri. In previous years, he usually planted half soybeans and half corn. Hearst originally planned to plant hundreds of acres of corn this year because of the reduced demand for soybeans caused by economic and trade frictions. However, the continuous rainfall has repeatedly delayed his corn sowing plan and missed the best sowing date. Now, if he replants soybeans, he will face the uncertainty of market demand.

　　In order to make up for the losses caused by economic and trade frictions to farmers, the US government introduced an agricultural subsidy plan of about $12 billion last year to provide certain subsidies to farmers of crops such as soybeans. But Waters said that the soybeans he produced last year were only partially subsidized.

　　In late May this year, the US Department of Agriculture announced that it would provide farmers with up to $16 billion in aid to compensate them for the losses they suffered in economic and trade frictions. But Waters doesn’t expect to get money soon. He wants a stable market more than government subsidies.

　　Hearst also expressed concern about the market prospects. He said that the U.S. government’s actions of arbitrarily imposing tariffs and provoking trade disputes will make the United States lose its status as a "reliable supplier" and cause long-term negative effects. "We will pay the price for this for many years." (Participating in reporters: Gao Pan, Liu Jie)

　　Letter from Gray Kusak.(Chinese translation)

　　After reading the article published in Shanghai Daily on June 17th ("Floods and trade disputes bring disasters to farmers in the Midwest of the United States"), I started writing to your newspaper. Too many American farmers are unhappy, and as the dispute persists, more people are confused about the future.

　　The average age of American farmers is getting bigger and bigger, the production cost is getting higher and higher, but the price of agricultural products is stagnant, and the company’s single-variety planting behavior has brought harm to land, air and water (the "dead zone" in the Gulf of Mexico is increasing day by day. )

　　Is all this because American farmers are stupid? Or is it because their information is wrong, or other reasons?

　　In my opinion, the real root of the problem lies in the social gap caused by the cultural war in our country – Generational conflicts (real but deliberately exaggerated), urban-rural division, Republicans’ habit of making a fuss about a single political issue, throwing salt into the wound, and the rural areas on which the Democratic Party depends are dying. It can be said that many farmers in the United States feel quite helpless and feel that there is no way to go. The Democratic Party is far from finding a package solution for agriculture or rural areas, which makes the situation even worse.

　　I think Shanghai Daily has a wide coverage of these topics of concern. I hope your newspaper will continue to report these problems in the United States, despite the current trade friction between the United States and China. These problems show that American society is in a dilemma. They include: the debt of students remains high (even after graduation), the wages are mostly stagnant, the wealth gap is widening, and the countryside is in trouble.

　　Contrary to your newspaper, American newspapers are not doing well. For example, The Oregonian, published in Oregon and surrounding areas with millions of people, is not as good as it used to be. The quality edition of the newspaper is only published four days a week, and the rest of the time readers are expected to read it through electronic applications. (In the case of such a shrinking newspaper industry), not to mention international news, even domestic news in the United States is poorly reported, which is far from meeting the needs of readers with only general knowledge background.

Next, look at the camera part. Although the iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max series is still a three-camera scheme with super wide angle+wide angle+telephoto, and equipped with a LiDAR lens, the main camera is upgraded to a brand-new 48-megapixel sensor for the first time, with a unit pixel area of 1.22μ M, supporting the four-pixel integration technology, and the unit pixel area can reach 2.44μ M, the lens aperture is f/1.78, the lens focal length is 24mm, and it is equipped with the second generation sensor displacement anti-shake technology. However, on the ultra-wide-angle and telephoto lenses, they still maintain 12 million pixels, the equivalent focal length of telephoto lens is 77mm, and the equivalent focal length of ultra-wide-angle lens is 13 mm.

In terms of camera module size, the camera module size of iPhone 14 Pro is slightly larger than that of iPhone 13 Pro.

Disassemble the camera module, you can see the main camera sensor of iPhone 14 Pro, and continue to adopt the sensor shift image stabilization system first introduced by iPhone 12 Pro series, which greatly improves the anti-shake performance. In terms of the size of the main camera sensor, the iPhone 14 Pro has been expanded from 1/1.67 inch of the previous generation to 1/1.31 inch.

Compared with the previous generation, the rear lidar module of iPhone 14 Pro only has a slight change in cable design.

Although the "Microcomputer Branch" does not indicate the suppliers of the lens module, image sensor and laser radar module of the iPhone 14 Pro series, according to the previous data, the rear lens module of the Pro series should be mainly supplied by Dali Light, and the image sensor is mainly supplied by Sony. The rear lidar module is mainly supplied by Sony. As for the front Face ID module, the Face ID of iPhone 13 series was previously supplied by Foxconn and LG Innotek, but the Face ID of 14 Pro series has been improved, so it is uncertain whether it will still be supplied by these two companies.

There is a dustproof and waterproof apron around the inside of the rear flash of iPhone 14 Pro, which is quite different from the previous generation. After violent disassembly, it can be seen that the rear flash of iPhone 14 Pro has changed from two bulbs in the previous generation to a big bulb, but Apple has divided it into nine parts, which can adaptively control the flash intensity, brightness and uniformity. Both have improved.

The bottom speaker module of iPhone 14 Pro is basically the same in size as the previous generation.

Although the motor size of iPhone 14 Pro has shrunk compared with the previous generation, the external specifications close to 0920 are still excellent.

The sub-board structure at the bottom is the same as the previous generation, which is integrated with barometer, two microphones and a charging port. There is a dustproof and waterproof rubber ring on the inner side of the bottom speaker window.

In terms of battery, the iPhone 14 Pro series is still an L-shaped battery. From the perspective of the National Bank version disassembled by "Microcomputer", the battery capacity of the iPhone 14 Pro is 3,200 mAh, which is 105 mAh higher than that of the previous generation. The supplier is Huizhou Desai; The battery capacity of iPhone 14 Pro Max is 4323 mAh, which is 29 mAh less than the previous generation. The supplier is Xinwangda.

△iPhone 14 Pro battery information

△iPhone 14 Pro Max battery information

There are some parts on the back shell of the iPhone 14 Pro series, and the structure has been slightly adjusted. The WiFi antenna and NFC antenna are integrated on a flat cable, and the physical buttons and wireless charging module are integrated as in the previous generation.

Summary:

Judging from the above disassembly report and the existing public information,Although the hardware configuration of the iPhone 14/14 Pro has not been greatly upgraded as that of the Pro series, its internal structure has been redesigned, and the "sandwich" design has greatly improved the maintainability.

Therefore,IFixit gave a high score of 7 (out of 10) for the repairability score of iPhone 14, which is also the highest score since iPhone 7. IFixit even said: "This is a big event, and Apple should make a major statement that the iPhone 14 has been redesigned from the inside out to make it easier to maintain."

Sam Goldheart of iFixit thinks: "In this era, product launch should not just brag about some small new features. Why doesn’t Cook brag about repairability? We didn’t know this would happen because Apple didn’t mention it at all. But they should do so. "

In addition, the two-way satellite communication function introduced by iPhone 14 series is also a focus of attention. The reason why the iPhone 14 series can support two-way satellite communication is mainly due to the upgrade of Qualcomm Snapdragon X65 baseband chip and Apple’s self-developed RF antenna.

According to previous data, Qualcomm Snapdragon X65 baseband chip can not only support the downlink rate up to 10Gbps, but also cover all major 5G bands including millimeter wave and Sub-6GHz band and their combinations. It is confirmed that the satellite communication of iPhone 14 series is supported by Qualcomm Snapdragon X65. The baseband chip has added a new 2.4 GHz n53 band function to support the satellite of Globalstar, a satellite communication company cooperated by Apple.

ICJay Monroe, executive chairman of Globalstar, boasted at the press conference earlier this year: "We appreciate the close relationship with Qualcomm since the company was founded, and thank their team for their hard work in helping us realize the promise of Band n53." Globalstar previously announced that it agreed to use 85% of its current and future satellite network capacity to support the two-way satellite communication function of iPhone.

In addition, the addition of two-way satellite communication function, coupled with many existing communication functions such as 5G, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS, not only greatly increases the number of antennas, but also brings greater challenges to antenna design. During the disassembly, we also saw some new designs of Apple on the antenna.

Disassembly also shows that although the iPhone 14 Pro series still uses 6GB of memory, it uses the latest LPDDR5 technology, while the previous generation iPhone 13 series is LPDDR4X.

Earlier, Apple had indicated that it would not consider using Changjiang storage flash memory in iphones sold in markets outside China, so we didn’t see the version using Changjiang storage flash memory in the disassembly of the US version of iFixit iPhone 14 series.

However, the three National Bank versions of the iPhone 14 series dismantled by Calculus have not found any flash memory with Yangtze River storage. But,According to the disassembly video of the National Bank version of iPhone 14 Pro Max released by a domestic blogger, the disassembled version uses flash memory supplied by Changjiang Storage.

Judging from the changes in the supply chain of Apple’s iPhone in recent years, the proportion of Chinese mainland suppliers in the Bank of China version of iPhone is growing continuously.

This may also be a measure taken by Apple to reduce the supply chain risks caused by the "US-China science and technology war" and "geopolitical issues".

Original title: 360′ s fast video APP releases short videos and is about to usher in the era of quality content.

In the past year, the short video industry has developed rapidly, and short video has become a new direction of investors’ attention. However, short video platforms emerge one after another, which is too demanding for quantity rather than quality, which directly leads to the difficulty in controlling short video content, and the quality of short video content has become the key to the development of short video industry.

Photo: 360 founder and CEO Zhou Hongyi delivered a one-minute speech.

On November 14th, 360 Express Video held an ultra-short video app-Express Video Conference in Beijing. At the conference, Zhou Hongyi, founder and CEO of 360 Group, gave a short speech for one minute, proposing to watch the video for one minute, so that every second of the video will be more exciting and busy people can watch interesting and informative videos in the shortest time.

A one-minute story only looks at the essence, only the essence.

As the first ultra-short video APP in the whole network, Fast Video has specially created a "1-minute series" column, which clips the wonderful scenes of film and television works to one minute, allowing users to watch the wonderful contents of the current wonderful film and television works in one minute, and quickly obtain the key points of the long drama series, compressing the entertainment time to one minute, but expanding the entertainment effect to the satisfaction of users.

One minute of ultra-short video naturally can’t make users wait for time. 360 Fast Video introduces the functions of fast playing and fast preview of ultra-short video, allowing users to see the climax of ultra-short video in one second, without wasting a minute or a second of entertainment time.

Fast video each video is only one minute long, which makes users worry about the integrity of the video story. Fast Video Select short videos with high quality for 1-3 minutes, and compress the story so as to finish a story in one minute.

Based on the background of 360 big data and artificial intelligence, Fast Video adds leading image vision artificial intelligence technology on the basis of other video platform technology reserves, and each released video is screened by the technical background, so that every work pushed to the client has quality and connotation, and can tell a story completely. Let users capture the wonderful in one minute and appreciate the wonders of the world in one minute.

Intelligent exploration engine helps users explore new fun.

The most common browsing mode of short video platforms is to push the updated content in the background immediately. Users browse in real time, and the video label is not obvious. Users often receive content that they are not interested in, so they can only skim over the uninterested content and skip to the next one.

Fast Video is a new generation of QVD intelligent exploration engine, which senses and records users’ emotions every time they browse video content, and analyzes users’ preferences through the background system. When the user browses the short video content next time, the background will be pushed to the client according to the user’s preference.

In addition to analyzing the length of time users watch videos, the free search function of fast videos is also one of the ways for the system to obtain users’ preferences. The fast video system strengthens the user’s emotional perception and free exploration, so that users can not only see interesting content, but also find other kinds of wonderful videos, bringing more excitement to users’ entertainment time.

Improving the quality of short video from the production team

The quality and connotation of short videos are inextricably linked with short video producers and teams. In order for users to watch fresher and better quality video content, Fast Video pays special attention to the video team.

Up to now, the fast video team has settled in tens of thousands of original video organizations and teams. At the same time, Fast Video said that Fast Video will invest 10 billion yuan to build an ultra-short video ecosystem and set up a fast fund plan.

In order to support video producers with ideas, but the technology is not up to standard for the time being, Fast Video provides a permanent and free editing tool-Fast Editing, aiming at providing a broader growth space and more lucrative returns for each video author.

Fast video starts with video content and strives to create an ultra-short video APP with high quality. It is worth looking forward to whether the fast video can enhance the awareness of short video platform content.

The number of netizens is 1.051 billion, and the Internet penetration rate is 74.4%-this is the latest statistical data on the development of Internet in China.

Huge netizens constitute a booming consumer market in China, laying a solid user base for the development of digital economy, and at the same time putting forward higher requirements for network security.

From September 5 to 11, 2022 National Cyber Security Publicity Week was held. This year’s publicity week will further popularize important laws and regulations such as the Network Security Law of the People’s Republic of China and the Data Security Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC), and promote network security knowledge and skills.

Without network security, there will be no national security, no stable economic and social operation, and it is difficult to protect the interests of the broad masses of the people.

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that the national cyber security work should adhere to the principle that cyber security is for the people and cyber security depends on the people, ensure the security of personal information and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of citizens in cyberspace.

At present, telecommunication network fraud has become the crime type with the largest number of cases, the fastest increase, the widest coverage and the strongest response from the people. In May this year, the Ministry of Public Security announced five types of high-incidence telecommunication network fraud cases-single rebate, false investment and wealth management, false online loan, impersonating customer service and impersonating public security law. These five types of fraud accounted for nearly 80%.

Telecom fraud is fascinating, how to strengthen prevention and crack down on criminal behavior more accurately?

On September 2nd, the 13th the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) Conference voted to pass the Anti-Telecommunication Network Fraud Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC).

As a "small-cut" special legislation, the anti-telecommunication network fraud law, on the basis of summing up the experience of anti-fraud, focuses on strengthening the construction of preventive legal system, increasing the punishment for illegal criminals, and promoting the formation of a control pattern of anti-fraud, anti-fraud in the whole chain, anti-fraud in the whole industry and anti-fraud in the whole society.

Netizens have received rave reviews. "Internet life needs this sense of security."

Many people have seen the online rumor that "dead birds spread monkeypox virus" and "Huoxiang Zhengqi water can prevent heatstroke". Some online rumors with "nose and eyes" are hard to distinguish between true and false, and many people have been fooled.

On April 19, 2016, at the symposium on network security and informatization, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized: "Those who run websites should not blindly pursue click-through rates, those who open online stores should guard against counterfeiting, and those who do social platforms should not become rumor spreaders, and those who do search should not be ranked only by the amount of money."

In response to the "various" online rumors, recently, the Central Network Information Office launched a nationwide special campaign to "clear and crack down on online rumors and false information".

The special action will improve and perfect the rumor mechanism. This mechanism studies and improves the algorithm recommendation rules, and accurately pushes relevant rumor information to users who have been exposed to rumors and false information to improve the rumor effect.

The "big move" to improve network security is not limited to this.

On June 1, 2022, the cyber security law was officially implemented for the fifth anniversary. This basic law in the field of network security clearly stipulates the protection of personal information, the control of network fraud, the protection of key information infrastructure and real-name registration system, which has become an important milestone in the construction of cyberspace rule of law in China.

In view of the rampant black industrial chain of the Internet and the high incidence of network-related crimes, the "Net Net" action thunderstruck …

In order to make people feel more at ease online, China has built a firewall for network security from multiple dimensions.

Scan code to get small gifts, "bargain" for free goods, and "surfing the Internet" can save traffic … Behind these behaviors, there may be hidden crises.

Maintaining network security is inseparable from the active participation and initiative of every netizen.

Since 2014, China has held the National Cyber Security Publicity Week for nine consecutive years, which has effectively promoted the promotion of cyber security awareness and protection skills of the whole society; All kinds of network security publicity, so that netizens can master the corresponding network security skills; Online and offline online cyber security Expo theme exhibition, people can learn about new products and demonstration applications …

Network security awareness should always be "online", and surfing the Internet can be more secure.

The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that it is necessary to adhere to the integrated development of cyber security education, technology and industry, and form a benign ecology of talent training, technological innovation and industrial development.

In recent years, China has not only built an effective network security system, but also taken a series of measures to promote the training of network security talents.

The Opinions on Strengthening the Discipline Construction and Personnel Training of Cyber Security was issued, and a first-class discipline of Cyberspace Security was established, and a demonstration project for the construction of a first-class cyber security college was implemented.

As of June this year, more than 60 universities in China have set up cyber security colleges, and more than 200 universities have set up cyber security undergraduate majors, with more than 20,000 cyber security graduates each year.

We will build a national network security talent and innovation base, promote the agglomeration and development of network security industry, and make breakthroughs in network security core technologies … Under the concerted efforts of all parties, the co-governance and co-construction of network security is getting better and better.

Network security is for people, and network security depends on people. Together, we will build a network security defense line, and the people’s sense of acquisition, happiness and security in cyberspace will continue to improve.

The 2023 Chengdu ITTF Mixed Team World Cup came to an end a few days ago. The box office of this brand-new event, which was created by the ITTF, was about 28 million yuan. More than 35,000 tickets were robbed in one hour in the first round of ticket sales, and 10,000 tickets were sold in the second round of ticket sales in 7 minutes.

According to the data, more than 20,000 fans outside Chengdu bought tickets to watch the game, and the average cost per fan ranged from 2,000 yuan to 7,000 yuan. The output value of sports industry, accommodation industry, catering industry, transportation industry and shopping reached 260 million yuan.

Consumption "increment"

A large number of people watch the events across provinces and cities, which drives a series of consumption such as tourism and transportation.

According to the data of barley net, the official ticketing platform, in 2023, there were 39,535 users of Chengdu ITTF mixed team World Cup, and the total number of tickets purchased was 60,139. Judging from the residence of the whole ticket purchasing crowd, Sichuan accounts for 15.45%, Guangdong 13.09%, Chongqing 8.88%, Zhejiang 8.08%, Jiangsu 5.36%, Shanghai 4.48%, Beijing 4.16%, Shandong 3.74%, Hubei 3.38% and Hunan 3.15%.

The proportion of people who watch events across provinces and cities has increased, which has increased the flow of tens of thousands of people in the city in a short period of time and stimulated a series of consumption such as tourism and transportation.

Ctrip data shows that from December 4 to December 10, the number of travel orders from other places to Chengdu increased by more than 2 times year-on-year, hotels increased by more than 10 times, and air tickets increased by about 1.5 times. Compared with November 27th to December 3rd, the number of travel orders from other places in Rongrong increased by 3%, and hotel bookings increased by over 30%.

According to Ctrip’s online service platform, during the week of the competition, many hotels within 500 meters of Fiona Fang of Sichuan Gymnasium were in short supply, and the main room types showed "booked up" early.

"Sports watching tours have brought direct benefits to the city." Wang Xueli, director of Tsinghua University Sports Industry Development Research Center, gave an example. This year is the year of Chengdu Universiade. As one of the Universiade venues, Sichuan Gymnasium has been upgraded in software and hardware, creating a better watching experience for the audience. "This is actually the benefit of the Universiade, which reflects the input-output mechanism of large-scale comprehensive sports games."

Investment "increment"

Hold a "sports+"industry promotion meeting with the event as the link.

Wuhou District, as the venue of this tournament, is rich in cultural tourism resources, and Wuhou Temple, Huaxi Dam and Wangjianglou are all famous tourist punching places in China. During the games, the passenger flow of these scenic spots increased significantly. One week before the competition, the sales of merchants in Yulin East Road during the competition generally increased by 20% to 80%, the merchants of light meals and snacks increased by about 80%, the beauty and hairdressing business increased by about 50%, the retail and cultural entrepreneurship increased by about 40%, and the beverage business increased by about 20%.

Wonderful competition and excellent service continue to polish the city brand of "three cities and three capitals" in Chengdu. Wuhou district also takes the competition as a link and goes all out to promote high-quality development. On December 4th, at the supporting activity of the event-2023 Chengdu "Sports Plus" Industry Promotion Conference, Wuhou District signed a multi-project contract with a total value of 400 million yuan.

Judging from the long-term effect, Wang Xueli believes that the innovative hosting and service guarantee of this event have been praised by athletes and media at home and abroad, which has established a good reputation for Chengdu’s hosting of the event and contributed to the construction of a world famous event city. "This will promote Chengdu’s city image and city positioning on the international stage." (Reporter Xue Jian)

In order to facilitate taxpayers and grass-roots tax authorities to check the answers to relevant policies, the State Administration of Taxation has comprehensively sorted out and confirmed the questions and answers issued by the State Administration of Taxation from January 2019 to July 2024, and compiled and formed a series of tax and fee support policies since 2019 covering 294 current effective answers in 34 topics in 8 categories.Today, I understand the relevant questions and answers about the VAT reduction and exemption policy for small-scale taxpayers.

[Question 1] I am a small decoration company, and I am a small-scale VAT taxpayer who declares on a monthly basis, so I can apply the differential taxation policy for subcontracting of construction services. Excuse me, is the monthly sales of small-scale taxpayers exempted from VAT judged before or after the difference?

A:Judging by the sales after the difference. The Announcement of State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China on the Collection and Management of VAT Reduction and Exemption Policies for Small-scale Taxpayers (State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China Announcement No.1, 2023) stipulates that small-scale taxpayers who apply the VAT differential taxation policy can determine whether the above-mentioned VAT exemption policy can be implemented based on the sales after the difference. Therefore, if the construction services provided by your company can be deducted by the difference according to the regulations, whether the above-mentioned small-scale taxpayers are exempted from value-added tax policy can be determined by the sales after the difference.

[Question 2] Our company is a small-scale VAT taxpayer who declares monthly. On January 6, 2023, we transferred a store. After excluding the sales of the transferred store, it is estimated that the sales in January will be less than 100,000 yuan, and all of them will be invoiced. Can our company enjoy the VAT exemption policy? What should we pay attention to when declaring?

A:Article 1 of State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China’s Announcement on the Collection and Management of Small-scale VAT Taxpayers’ Exemption and Exemption Policies (No.1 in 2023) stipulates that if small-scale taxpayers engage in VAT taxable sales, and their total monthly sales exceed 100,000 yuan, but after deducting the sales of real estate that occurred in this period, they do not exceed 100,000 yuan, their sales of goods, services and intangible assets will be exempted from VAT. When your company handles the VAT tax return for the January tax period, you should accurately enter the data of "Sales of Real Estate in Current Period" in the reporting interface of VAT and Additional Taxes (for small-scale taxpayers), and the system will automatically calculate the current sales after deducting the sales of real estate. If the sales after deduction does not exceed 100,000 yuan, you can enjoy the VAT exemption policy. When handling the tax declaration, the deducted sales should be filled in the relevant column of "VAT and Additional Taxes and Fees Declaration Form (applicable to small-scale taxpayers)".

[Question 3] I am a small-scale VAT taxpayer who declares on a monthly basis. In August 2023, I issued an ordinary VAT invoice with a 3% collection rate for my customers. If the actual monthly sales do not exceed 100,000 yuan, can I enjoy the preferential tax-free policy?

A:Article 1 of the Announcement of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on the Reduction and Exemption of VAT for Small-scale VAT Taxpayers (No.19, 2023) stipulates that small-scale VAT taxpayers with monthly sales of less than 100,000 yuan (inclusive) shall be exempted from VAT. If your monthly sales do not exceed 100,000 yuan, you can directly declare tax exemption when you declare tax, and enjoy the policy of exemption from value-added tax.

[Question 4] Our company is a small-scale VAT taxpayer who declares monthly. In September 2023, it is estimated that the income from selling goods will be 200,000 yuan. What tax reduction and exemption policy can we enjoy and how to issue VAT invoices?

A:Article 2 of the Announcement of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on the Reduction and Exemption of VAT for Small-scale VAT Taxpayers (No.19, 2023) stipulates that small-scale VAT taxpayers shall apply taxable sales income at a rate of 3%, and the VAT shall be levied at a reduced rate of 1%. Article 5 of the Announcement of State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China on the Collection and Management of Small-scale VAT Taxpayers’ Reduction and Exemption of VAT and Other Policies (No.1 in 2023) stipulates that if small-scale taxpayers obtain taxable sales income and apply the policy of collecting VAT at a reduced rate of 1%, they should issue VAT invoices at a rate of 1%. Therefore, your income from selling goods in September was 200,000 yuan, and you can apply the policy of collecting VAT at a reduced rate of 1%, and issue special VAT invoices or ordinary VAT invoices at a rate of 1%.

[Question 5] I am a catering company. I am a small-scale taxpayer who declares value-added tax on a monthly basis. On August 25th, 2023, I issued an ordinary VAT invoice with a rate of 3% of 20,000 yuan for my customers. The actual monthly sales in August was 150,000 yuan, all of which were sales revenue at 3% levy rate. Our customers were individuals and could not recover the invoices already issued. Can our company still enjoy the policy of 3% levy rate sales revenue minus 1% levy rate for VAT?

A:Article 2 of the Announcement of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on the Reduction and Exemption of VAT for Small-scale VAT Taxpayers (No.19, 2023) stipulates that small-scale VAT taxpayers shall apply taxable sales income at a rate of 3%, and the VAT shall be levied at a reduced rate of 1%. Your sales income of 3% tax rate is 150,000 yuan, you can directly declare tax reduction when you declare tax payment, and you can enjoy the policy of 3% tax rate sales income minus 1% tax rate. In order to reduce your tax burden, there is no need to void or change the ordinary VAT invoice with 3% levy rate. However, it should be noted that, according to the Measures for the Administration of Invoices in People’s Republic of China (PRC) and other relevant regulations, taxpayers should issue invoices truthfully. Article 5 of the Announcement of State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China on the Collection and Management of Small-scale VAT Taxpayers’ Reduction and Exemption of VAT and Other Policies (No.1 in 2023) stipulates that if small-scale taxpayers obtain taxable sales income and apply the policy of collecting VAT at a reduced rate of 1%, they should issue VAT invoices at a rate of 1%. Therefore, in the future, when you enjoy the policy of 3% levy rate for sales revenue minus 1% levy rate for VAT, if you need to issue an ordinary VAT invoice, you should issue it at 1% levy rate.

[Question 6] Our company is a small-scale VAT taxpayer who retails motorcycles. In August 2023, the sales volume was 90,000 yuan. When invoicing customers, it was impossible to confirm whether the sales volume this month would exceed 100,000 yuan, and a unified invoice for motor vehicle sales with a 1% levy rate was issued. Can I still enjoy the tax exemption policy for monthly sales below 100,000 yuan? My individual customers are general VAT taxpayers, can I deduct the input tax?

A:Article 1 of the Announcement of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on the Reduction and Exemption of VAT for Small-scale VAT Taxpayers (No.19, 2023) stipulates that small-scale VAT taxpayers with monthly sales of less than 100,000 yuan (inclusive) shall be exempted from VAT. If your monthly sales do not exceed 100,000 yuan, you can directly declare tax exemption when you declare tax payment, and enjoy the policy of exemption from value-added tax. If your customer is a general taxpayer, you can deduct the corresponding input tax on the basis of the unified invoice for motor vehicle sales with 1% levy rate.

[Question 7] Our company is a small-scale VAT taxpayer who retails motorcycles, with a monthly sales of about 100,000 yuan. When invoicing customers in the middle of the month, it is impossible to confirm whether I can enjoy the tax exemption policy with a monthly sales of less than 100,000 yuan this month. How can I issue a unified invoice for motor vehicle sales if I want to enjoy the preferential policies of small-scale taxpayers?

A:Announcement of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on the Policy of Reducing and Exempting VAT for Small-scale VAT Taxpayers (No.19, 2023) stipulates that small-scale VAT taxpayers with monthly sales of less than 100,000 yuan (inclusive) shall be exempted from VAT. Small-scale taxpayers of value-added tax are subject to taxable sales income at a rate of 3%, and value-added tax is levied at a reduced rate of 1%. When you invoice in the middle of the month, you don’t know whether the sales will exceed 100,000 yuan and whether you can enjoy the tax exemption policy. You should first issue a unified invoice for motor vehicle sales at the rate of 1%. When declaring tax, if the monthly sales amount does not exceed 100,000 yuan, you can declare tax exemption when declaring tax. If the monthly sales amount exceeds 100,000 yuan, you can declare and pay VAT at a reduced rate of 1%.

[Question 8] I am a small-scale taxpayer engaged in motorcycle sales, and my monthly sales amount is less than 100,000 yuan. Can I still issue a special tax-free VAT invoice?

A:Article 1 of the Announcement of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on the Reduction and Exemption of VAT for Small-scale VAT Taxpayers (No.19, 2023) stipulates that small-scale VAT taxpayers with monthly sales of less than 100,000 yuan (inclusive) shall be exempted from VAT. Small-scale taxpayers selling motor vehicles can enjoy the tax exemption policy according to the above provisions, and issue special VAT invoices with the words "motor vehicles" in the upper left corner as "tax exemption".

[Question 9] I am a small-scale VAT taxpayer who declares monthly, and my monthly sales amount is about 100,000 yuan, but I can’t confirm whether my total income will exceed 100,000 yuan when I invoice my customers.
