  I. Environmental Status and Challenges

  (A) partial improvement, the situation is still grim.

  After more than 20 years of development, the social and economic development in the Pearl River Delta region has made remarkable achievements. In 2002, the Pearl River Delta, covering 0.4% of the country’s land area, gathered 3% of the country’s population and created nearly 9% of the country’s GDP. At the same time of rapid economic development, great progress has been made in environmental protection and ecological construction, and the comprehensive improvement of the Pearl River has achieved initial results. The water quality of the urban reach has been improved, and soot pollution has been initially controlled, but the overall environmental situation is still grim, mainly as follows:

  Although the water quality of the main and mainstream waterways in the Pearl River Delta has basically maintained a good level of Class II and III, the length of the polluted rivers is still increasing due to the large discharge of domestic wastewater, concentrated industrial sewage discharge and serious pollution of livestock and poultry breeding. The water quality of most urban river sections and rivers is seriously polluted, and the water bodies in some river sections are worse than Class V, which affects the life and production of coastal residents. Regional water supply and drainage crisscross, the water quality of drinking water sources in some cities is affected, and cross-regional water pollution is becoming increasingly prominent. The advantage of abundant regional water resources is changing to the disadvantage of water shortage.

  The frequency of acid rain in the Pearl River Delta is still high, forming a high-incidence area of acid rain with Guangzhou and Foshan as the center. The ratio of nitrogen oxides to sulfur dioxide in each city is increasing, and the air pollution caused by motor vehicle exhaust, which is characterized by nitrogen oxides pollution, has become increasingly prominent, showing signs of photochemical pollution and forming a phenomenon of regional air composite pollution.

  The ecological land in the Pearl River Delta has been heavily occupied, the primary forest and natural secondary forest have been destroyed, some key ecological transition zones, nodes and corridors have not been effectively protected, the regional natural ecosystem has been obviously fragmented, and there is a lack of regional controlled ecological protection system. The phenomenon of indiscriminate hunting, indiscriminate digging and indiscriminate mining has been repeatedly banned, and the number and species of wild animals and plants have plummeted, which has seriously threatened biodiversity. Forest biomass and net production are not high, and forest ecological benefits are low. The amount of pesticide and chemical fertilizer used per unit land area is higher than the national average, nitrogen fertilizer pollution, pesticide residues and persistent organic pollution are aggravated, the agricultural ecological environment is deteriorating, the regional ecological quality is declining, and the ecological deficit is serious. 

  The comprehensive decision-making mechanism of economic development and environment in the Pearl River Delta needs to be strengthened, and there is still a phenomenon of emphasizing economy over environmental protection in some areas. The ability of environmental management at county and town levels is weak, and the mode and ability of environmental supervision can not meet the requirements of the new situation. The investment in environmental protection, especially the direct investment in sewage and garbage treatment and ecological construction, is insufficient, the construction of environmental protection infrastructure is lagging behind for a long time, and the debts are serious, forming a situation of "pollution first and then treatment". The difference and imbalance between environment and socio-economic development gradually appear, and resources and environment have become the "short board" of sustainable development, which restricts the overall competitiveness of urban agglomerations in the Pearl River Delta and the sustainable development of the region in the future.

  (2) The environment is overwhelmed and development is facing challenges.

  The Ninth Party Congress of Guangdong Province and the Second Plenary Session of the Ninth Provincial Party Committee have set the goal for the future. By 2010, the per capita GDP of Guangdong Province will double that of 2000, and the Pearl River Delta will take the lead in basically realizing socialist modernization. By 2020, the province’s per capita GDP will double that of 2010, build a well-off society in an all-round way, and take the lead in basically realizing socialist modernization. This goal puts forward higher requirements for environmental protection, and the tasks of environmental protection and ecological construction are more arduous.

  According to the forecast, in 2010 and 2020, the output of wastewater and water pollutants will increase by 60% and 100% respectively compared with that in 2002, and the emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and inhalable particulate matter (PM10) will also increase greatly, and the total output of solid waste will increase by 50% and 80% respectively. All these will cause great pressure on the environment of the Pearl River Delta in the future. At present, the overdrawn environmental capacity and resources cannot support the extensive economic development model, and the Pearl River Delta will face severe challenges from many old and new environmental problems. 

  Second, the planning principles and objectives

  (A) the guiding ideology

  Guided by Theory of Three Represents and Scientific Outlook on Development, around the goal of basically realizing socialist modernization in the Pearl River Delta, with the aim of improving people’s living standards and improving environmental quality, we should pay equal attention to pollution prevention and ecological protection, develop circular economy, promote clean production, advocate ecological civilization, take the development road of production development, affluent life and good ecology, and promote the coordinated development of economy, society and environment.

  (2) Planning principles

  People-oriented, environment first: adhere to the principle of people-oriented and harmony between man and nature, change the mode of economic growth, support the sustainable development of social economy with the sustainable utilization of environmental resources, effectively improve environmental quality and ensure regional environmental safety.

  Overall planning and coordinated development: in accordance with the requirements of the "five overall plans", take the road of new industrialization, rationally plan and distribute towns and industries, develop circular economy and promote clean production. Solve environmental problems from the perspective of the whole region and realize the coordinated development of the region.

  Focus on the future and plan scientifically: focus on the sustainable development of the Pearl River Delta in the future, comprehensively analyze the restrictive factors of the coordinated development of economy, society and environment in the future, face up to the gap between the current environmental situation and the requirements of taking the lead in basically realizing the goal of socialist modernization, explore new ideas and plan new development. 

  Improve the mechanism and strengthen regulation: strengthen the leading role of the government in environmental protection, clarify responsibilities, implement grading objectives and tasks, establish mechanisms, take measures, rationally and effectively allocate public resources, and promote the coordinated development of social economy and environment. 

  (3) Planning target 

  The overall goal of the planning is to build the Pearl River Delta into a comprehensive and coordinated sustainable development demonstration area.

  By 2010, environmental pollution and ecological destruction have been effectively controlled, the discharge of major pollutants has been greatly reduced, the water quality of the trunk and tributaries of the Pearl River Delta water system has maintained a good level, the frequency of acid rain has dropped significantly, and the comprehensive environmental protection index of each city has reached more than 90 points. All cities have met the requirements of national environmental protection model cities and built national environmental protection model urban agglomerations.

  By 2020, the security pattern of ecological environment will be basically formed, the circular economy system will be gradually improved, and the ecological environment will be virtuous. All cities will meet the requirements of eco-city and build eco-city groups. 

  III. Strategic tasks

In the process of modernization of the Pearl River Delta in , three strategic tasks should be completed: red line regulation, green line promotion and blue line construction. 

 (1) Red Line Regulation and Optimization of Regional Spatial Layout

 1. Building a regional ecological security system.

 (1) Ecological function zoning of 

  According to the sensitivity of regional ecological environment, the importance of ecological service function and the difference of regional socio-economic development direction, the Pearl River Delta is divided into three first-class ecological functional zones, namely, circular mountain forest ecological security barrier zone, delta plain agricultural metropolis economic zone and southern coastal ecological protection zone, seven second-class ecological functional zones, namely, western ecological protection and biodiversity protection zone, 75 third-class functional zones on land and five third-class functional zones, namely, Dashahe reservoir water conservation zone. 

  (2) Constructing regional ecological structure system

  Protect, nurture and restore large-scale natural patches and wetlands, protect relatively isolated regional natural ecosystem reserves, and build a structural ecological control area in the regional ecosystem; Maintain continuous mountains and river trunk roads, establish a perfect protection system along traffic trunk roads and economic corridors, and form an ecological channel connecting various structural ecological control areas in the region; Strengthen the protection and restoration of isolated mountain green spaces between urban agglomerations to form a green core of urban agglomerations; Maintain the intersections and fragile points of each ecological channel and protect the key nodes of the regional ecological structure system; Protect the small natural patches left in large urban landscapes and strengthen the ecological regulation of urban construction. A regional ecological structure system with 18 nodes, 16 channels, 6 districts and 6 cores will be built. 

  (3) Protecting , an important and sensitive ecological area.

  Protect water conservation areas. Rationally adjust and optimize the industrial structure and layout of water conservation areas, strictly control water pollution sources, and strengthen ecological cultivation and construction. 

  Construction of nature reserves. The proportion of nature reserves in the land area has increased steadily. By 2010, 15 nature reserves will be built, 9 nature reserves will be upgraded (3 at the national level and 6 at the provincial level) and 4 nature reserves will be expanded, including the upgrading and expansion of municipal nature reserves. There are 93 nature reserves in the whole region, with a total area of about 401,000 hectares, accounting for 6.3% of the land area. 

  Protect the ecological environment of estuaries and coastal waters. By 2010, the water quality in coastal waters will basically meet the requirements of environmental functional zones, with emphasis on strengthening the marine ecological environment protection in Daya Bay-Dapeng Bay, Guangzhou-Wanshan Islands, Zhuhai-Taishan Chixi Peninsula and Chuanshan Islands estuary. 

  Harness soil erosion. By 2010, the control rate of natural soil erosion will reach more than 80%, and all steep cultivated land with a slope greater than 25 degrees will be returned to forest and grassland, and man-made soil erosion will be controlled. 

  (4) Implementing ecological protection and grading control of .

  According to the strict requirements for ecological protection, the Pearl River Delta is divided into strict protection areas, controlled protection and utilization areas and guided development and construction areas as the basis of regional ecological protection and management. 

  Strictly protected areas: including the core areas of nature reserves, key water conservation areas, coastal zones, extremely sensitive areas of soil erosion, primary ecosystems, ecological public welfare forests and other important and sensitive ecological functional areas, covering an area of about 5,058 square kilometers, accounting for 12.13% of the total land area of the Pearl River Delta. Governments at all levels should classify these areas as red lines and implement strict protection.

  Controlled protection and utilization area: including important ecological function control area, ecological conservation area, ecological buffer area, etc., covering an area of about 17,483 square kilometers, accounting for 41.93% of the total land area of the Pearl River Delta. The controlled protection and utilization area can be developed and utilized moderately, but it must be ensured that the development and utilization will not lead to the decline of environmental quality and the damage of ecological function, and at the same time, active measures should be taken to promote the improvement and improvement of regional ecological function. 

  Guiding development and construction area: it mainly includes guiding resource development and utilization area and urban construction and development area, covering an area of about 19,157 square kilometers, accounting for 45.94% of the total land area of the Pearl River Delta. Guiding resource development and utilization areas should reduce the amount of chemical fertilizers and pesticides used per unit land area, promote ecological agriculture and control non-point source pollution; The urban construction development zone should pay attention to the construction of urban green space system and improve the urban greening rate. 

  2. Optimize the security pattern of water environment 

  Adjust the water intake and drainage pattern, adjust and optimize the water function of each river section, realize the orderly coordination between high and low water use functions, establish the total water environment control target, and ensure the regional sustainable water supply safety. By 2010, the water quality of centralized drinking water sources will reach 100%.

  (1) Adjust the pattern of water intake and drainage, and systematically separate the water intake and drainage river system .

  Dongjiang water resources area: including Dongjiang water resources areas in Shenzhen, Dongguan and Huizhou. 

  Non-tidal rivers in the main stream of Dongjiang River and the downstream river network area, including the main rivers of Dongjiang River, Xizhijiang River and Zengjiang River, and the main rivers above the salt water line in the river network area (north of John Wan, nave and Xintang Line), are strictly protected as regional common water sources.

  Shima River-Hanxi River-Dongguan Canal Drainage System: Most of the sewage in Dongguan (from Shijie, Shipai and Gaobu towns is collected and treated in the central ditch and then transferred across the south tributary to enter the canal), Longhua, Guanlan and Buji (part of them) in Shenzhen are connected and connected by necessary engineering measures on the basis of existing waterways, and then enter the sea from Nongyuwei in Dongguan New Bay.

  Shenzhen River Drainage System: The drainage east of Huanggang Road in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and the drainage in Hong Kong New Territories reach the standard and then enter the sea from Shenzhen Bay. Among them, after the drainage treatment in the catchment area of Shenzhen Reservoir reaches the standard, it enters the Shenzhen River by manual extraction. 

  Sea drainage system in the west of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone: collect the municipal sewage west of Huanggang Road in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, enter Nanshan Sewage Treatment Plant after multi-stage lifting, and then discharge it to the East Trough of the Pearl River Estuary through submarine pipeline after reaching the standard. 

  Independent drainage system on the east bank of the Pearl River Estuary: including several independent small systems with natural flow direction in Baoan District of Shenzhen and Chang ‘an Town of Dongguan. For example, a small amount of cross-border drainage in Xixiang and Nanshan District is discharged into before the gulf on the east bank of the Pearl River Estuary after being treated up to standard, and Fuyong and Shajing towns independently collect and treat it up to standard and then enter the east beach of the Pearl River Estuary.

  Tonghai drainage system in the east of Shenzhen: including Yantian District in the east of Wutong Mountain in Shenzhen and Longgang, Pingdi, Zikeng, Pingshan, Henggang, Kwai Chung, Dapeng and Nan ‘ao in Longgang District. Among them, the drainage around Dapeng Bay can enter the sea alone after reaching the standard, and a drainage system is established to introduce most of the sewage that originally passed through Danshui River and Xizhijiang River and finally entered Longgang District of Dongjiang into the regional drainage channel to the sea, so as to ensure the water quality of Xizhijiang River and Danshui River, tributaries of Dongjiang River, to meet the standard.

  Dayawan regional drainage system: the south line collects the drainage from Xinxu, Qiuchang, fresh water and Aotou, and then discharges it to the special experimental area in the outer bay on the south side of Daya Bay through the discharge pipe after reaching the standard; The northern line collects the drainage from Yonghu, Shatian, Xiayong and petrochemical industrial zone, and after reaching the standard, it is discharged to the special experimental area in the outer bay on the north side of Daya Bay by the discharge pipe.

  Dongjiang trunk drainage system: it includes the vast water collection area of Dongjiang trunk and its first-class tributaries Xizhijiang and Zengjiang trunk, and the drainage can only enter in the end.
Dongjiang River, the water source. Water-polluting industries should not be built in this area, and large-scale urban areas should not be arranged.

  Guangzhou East Drainage System: It includes all Huangpu District in Guangzhou and part of Tianhe and Zengcheng City, which constitutes the drainage system discharged into Huangpu Waterway. The drainage from Dadun to Xintang on the west bank of Dongjiang North Main Stream should be intercepted and led to the drainage system below Nangang.

  Drainage system in Dongjiang River network area: Xintang, nave and John Wan are the boundaries, and the downstream towns and villages independently form drainage systems (or lead them downstream appropriately), which are discharged after being treated to meet the standards. The upstream drainage can be introduced into the downstream treatment and discharged or transferred to the canal drainage system eastward. 

  The common water resources area of Beijiang River and Dongjiang River: mainly Guangzhou City. 

  Dongjiang water in the region is transferred to the eastern part of the Pearl River Delta, so as to make good use of Liuxi River, and at the same time, expand the use of Beijiang River. Shunde Waterway and its connected Xijiang incoming water, Beijiang main stream and Baini Waterway are used as reserve water sources, and the tributaries of Dongjiang River, Zengjiang River, Liuxi River, Baini Waterway, West Waterway, Beijiang main stream and Shunde Waterway-Shawan Waterway form a circular water supply channel.

  Humen drainage river system: including the upstream Southwest Chung, Foshan Waterway and its branches, water mouth, Datanchui, Dalanchong, Yayao Water, front and rear waterways, Lijiao Waterway, Sanzhi Perfume Waterway, Huangpu Waterway and Shiziyang Waterway, etc. The natural flow direction is basically separated from the water supply channel, and only a few places need to add control gates. 

  Jiaomen Drainage River System: It consists of a river network located in the south of Shawan Waterway, with Jiaomen Waterway as the main trunk.

  Drainage system outside the entrance: Nansha new development zone is located outside the river network, forming a drainage system to Lingding waterway to protect the water quality in the river network area. 

  Drainage in Liuxihe River Basin: While restricting large-scale development, the drainage will flow into the tributaries according to the natural flow direction, and appropriate river purification measures will be taken to ensure that the centralized drainage will not directly enter the main trunk of Liuxihe River, and the runoff entering the main trunk will reach Class III, so as to protect the local water supply source of Liuxihe River. 

  The common water resources areas of Beijiang River and Xijiang River include Sihui and Zhongshan, as well as Chancheng, Sanshui, Nanhai and Shunde in Foshan City. 

  Beijiang River trunk, Suijiang River trunk, Xijiang River trunk and Dongping Shunde Waterway are connected with Shawan, Guizhou, Xiaolan, Jiya, Rong Gui and other waterways to form a reticular water supply river system, and the middle part is connected with Xijiang River trunk through Ganzhuxi and Ronggui Waterway to form a strategic allocation water source for the whole river network area. At the same time, protect the local runoff formed with Wugui Mountain as the center.

Look at the market before the holiday | National Day is approaching, and the price of flowers is stable.

CCTV News:With the National Day approaching, Dounan Flower Market in Kunming, Yunnan Province has also ushered in a wave of consumption boom.As the largest fresh cut flower market in Asia, it is not only a "wind vane" but also a "barometer" for the sales of fresh cut flowers in Asia. The flowers shipped from here every day flow to more than 50 countries and regions around the world, decorating the lives of thousands of families.

In Dounan Flower Market, Jiao Xiuzhi, a tourist from Shanxi, is excitedly video-chatting with friends, visiting the flower market and recommending flowers from Yunnan to friends.

Due to the increase of happy events such as opening, housewarming and marriage during the National Day, flower varieties such as Phalaenopsis, roses and Eupatorium grandiflorum are also showing a booming trend of purchase and sale. Merchants prepared their goods early, and the roads were lined with flowers. Those brightly colored flowers were placed in the front row for customers to choose.

At the express delivery point, the couriers have already started busy packing. With the rapid development of logistics, more than half of Dounan’s flowers sent to the whole country or exported have been transported by air, and 80% of them have been transported by road with cold chain vehicles controlled by low temperature. While effectively reducing flower loss, the freshness and quality of flowers are guaranteed, thus attracting more potential consumers.

In a flower trading platform in Kunming, the staff are busy negotiating the transaction. This is the first vertical e-commerce service platform in China to match online transactions between flower merchants and flower farmers. There are more than 3,500 flower farmers and cooperatives, and more than 300,000 buyers have settled in. Up to now, the cumulative transaction volume of flowers has exceeded 1 billion, and the cumulative transaction volume has exceeded 1 billion yuan.

Is it reliable to change the "after-sales" of online dramas while broadcasting?

  【 Different opinions 】

  Recently, in order to comply with the audience’s opinions and meet the audience’s expectations, the "changing while broadcasting" that timely modifies the relevant content according to the audience’s feedback and public opinion calls during the broadcast process has become a new operation mode of drama series in video website communication. From "Do you know whether it should be green, fat, red and thin" to "slow-motion play" in the new edition of "Eternal Dragon Slayer", there are various forms of expression. This rapid response mechanism is being used by more and more drama producers after achieving some visible communication effects, and has won many praises from the industry and the audience.

  For creators and communicators, the behavior of "changing while broadcasting" represents the communication concept of respecting the audience, and also shows the creative attitude of being pragmatic and striving for perfection. Compared with those practitioners who regard film and television creation as a "one-shot deal", who know that there is a mistake but don’t admit it, or even face criticism and questioning, the behavior of knowing the mistake and correcting it in time is worth encouraging. However, this kind of "after-sales service" is, after all, a new phenomenon of production and broadcasting emerging in the process of rapid development of the industry. Most viewers don’t know much about it, and its operating mechanism is not perfect, so there are still some possible negative factors hidden in the actual operation process, which need to be vigilant. On the one hand, this model will subtly encourage the creator’s luck, that is, "it doesn’t matter if it is casual and rough in the original creation, even if there is an error, there is still room for revision in the broadcast process." Once such a psychological formula is formed, it will undoubtedly do harm to the development of the industry. On the other hand, respecting the audience does not mean blindly satisfying and catering. The audience can design whatever bridge they want to see and arrange whatever ending they want. In fact, it is an irresponsible cramming creation. Regardless of the ideological theme or aesthetic taste, the audience needs more guidance, and there is no need to say anything about it. In most cases, the forced temporary modification behavior in the process of broadcasting is a last resort.And is not a conventional operation mode. Creators should feel guilty about the lack of rigor and thoughtfulness when they started, and learn from it, so as to make it happen again. This must not be used as an excuse and retreat for inferior creation. And those so-called "at the request of the audience" to modify the fate of the characters and the ending of the story are even more cautious. After all, literary and artistic creation that appeals to people’s hearts is serious. If it caters to or even condescends to the tastes of some audiences at the expense of distorting the original intention of creation, in essence, it will make commercial benefits overshadow social benefits and abandon the basics.

  In addition, there is a more dangerous business appeal to be vigilant. The producers of individual dramas know that their works have serious injuries and "slots", so they not only broadcast them directly without modification, but also hype these issues as gimmicks to generate public opinion topics to achieve the purpose of attracting attention. Then, we made a big fuss about the "after-sales service" while broadcasting, to show the film’s "attitude of admitting mistakes" and "speed of correcting mistakes", so that the audience could feel the satisfaction of being valued, and they seemed to enjoy a high-level drama-watching experience with high participation and strong interaction. This behavior takes the mode of "changing while broadcasting" as a marketing means and commercial trick to capture the audience, which makes the creation and dissemination of works taste worse and worse.

  As far as the operation mode of "modifying while broadcasting" is concerned, domestic dramas are still in the primary stage of "correcting mistakes and filling gaps", while some countries with mature TV drama industry such as Europe, America, Japan and South Korea have already realized the operation paradigm of "writing, filming, broadcasting and modifying while broadcasting". In recent years, an interactive creative mode known for immersion and interactivity has become popular in the industry. This kind of work can be regarded as a mixture of watching and participating. It tries to give full play to the dynamic role of the audience, so that they can make choices at some key nodes in the process of watching, thus having strong control over the role decision in the work, and finally determining the plot development and the fate of the characters in the drama. Although all these measures are more rigorous and mature compared with the "broadcast while changing" mode, they fully integrate the wisdom of the audience into the drama creation, so that the works can basically keep pace with the market demand, but they have not fundamentally solved the disadvantages and hidden dangers of the "broadcast while changing" mode. If the operation paradigm of "writing, filming, broadcasting and changing" and interactive works become the possible development trend of China drama production and broadcasting in the future, then relevant practitioners need to keep a calm, rational and prudent attitude towards them and guard against their dislocation and deviation in practice.

  Creators and communicators should at least be soberly aware of the following points: First, the original intention of "modifying while broadcasting" should not only be positioned at the omissions and deficiencies in the process of modifying and creating, but should achieve the balance between audience satisfaction and market ratings through deeper communication and reception interaction; Secondly, we should prevent the phenomenon of catering to the audience’s tastes to the neglect of the establishment of positive values and the original aesthetic style and artistic characteristics of the works, and grasp the degree of satisfaction and guidance under the principle of "social benefit first"; Third, the ultimate goal of "broadcasting while changing" is not to attract eyeballs to earn money, but to create a benign environment for full communication with the audience, to maximize the audience’s wisdom to bless the quality improvement of the drama, and to make the works more artistic vitality and market communication; Fourthly, we should devote ourselves to constructing a long-term mechanism of self-improvement and self-transcendence of drama series, so that the works can continuously gain the internal drive to the road of quality products in different links of creation and communication, and help the whole industry to mature and prosper.

IMF managing director warns that trade fragmentation may lead to a new cold war in the world.

  Xinhua News Agency, Washington, April 14th (Reporter Pan Lijun, Yang Shilong) Georgieva, managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), said on the 13th that the fragmentation of global trade will cost the world and may even trigger the second cold war. She called on all parties to make rational decisions and avoid a new cold war.

  On the same day, Georgieva said at a press conference of the IMF and the World Bank in the spring of 2023 that since the new crown epidemic and the Ukrainian crisis, the priority of ensuring the safety of supply chain and the reliable operation of global supply chain is reaching a new height in economic discussion and decision-making.

  Georgieva said that the discussion on how to involve developing countries in the supply chain and explore a more dynamic global division of labor is good. However, she also pointed out that the appeal of "friendly shore outsourcing" or supply chain reliability is not only economic, but also geopolitical.

  Georgieva called on all parties to make rational decisions and avoid pushing the world into the second cold war. She said that she had experienced the Cold War and knew that it would lead to brain drain, which was not conducive to world progress and did not want history to repeat itself.

FSD and Huawei ADS2.0 hit hard, and Musk found Tesla’s stock price catalyst.

"(FSD landing in China) may be realized soon". Recently, elon musk, CEO of Tesla, made an "official statement" about FSD’s entry into China when replying to a question from a Tesla owner in China on social media "X" (formerly Twitter).

picture

FSD is the abbreviation of "Full Self-Driving", which is the highest level in Tesla’s automatic driving sequence-the other two gears are basic version (AP) and enhanced assisted driving (EAP).

At present, FSD has been upgraded to the end-to-end version of V12.3, and the name of "beta" has been cancelled, and it is completely driven by neural network and data.

According to CITIC Securities, the more anthropomorphic driving style makes the ChatGPT moment of FSD promoting high-level autonomous driving approach.

Many other institutions have also expressed similar views that high-level autonomous driving is about to usher in an "inflection point".

But almost at the same time, the price of Tesla FSD in the United States was lowered by 33.3% from $12,000 to $8,000; The monthly subscription price has also been lowered from the previous $199 to $99, and customers can also get a month’s experience service for free.

It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time FSD has cut prices.

Before August 2023, the price of FSD in North America was $15,000.

At that time, Musk thought that the price of FSD was "very low", and if "fully automatic driving" could be realized, the market value of Tesla would be greatly increased.

At present, the price of FSD in China is unknown, but judging from the current price trend of the software, it is probably not higher than that in North America.

Because so far, in addition to Huawei’s ADS2.0, it is hard to say that China users have developed the habit of paying for a smart driving system-whether it is "fully automatic driving" or not.

01

FSD can make people sleep in the car?

For elon musk, it is true that he is often active on social media, but there are not many questions about answering a Tesla owner in China personally.

The owner asked Musk, "When will the FSD land in China? When can the new parking assist be pushed to the owner of Tesla HW3.0 in China? "

Although Tesla CEO’s reply is still unclear, it also shows that FSD is indeed in full swing to promote related matters.

In fact, since November 2023, news about FSD’s entry into China has begun to spread.

At that time, a new owner found that the description of FSD test information appeared in Tesla’s user manual.

According to public information, FSD supports high-speed NOA (navigation-assisted driving) and urban NOA, as well as functions such as automatic parking and intelligent calling. Even in complex road conditions, human drivers are often not required to intervene.

picture

According to Musk’s statement at Tesla’s shareholders’ meeting, FSD beta users have accumulated 190 million miles (about 306 million kilometers), and their safety performance will be 10 times that of human drivers in the future.

As early as 2019, Musk said that FSD is very reliable and drivers can even go to sleep-but he strongly advised drivers not to sleep while driving.

In a live broadcast last year, he claimed that FSD no longer relies on program code to identify concepts such as roads and pedestrians, and all of them are left to the neural network to judge for itself.

However, Tesla CEO stressed that FSD can almost achieve "automatic driving", but it still needs improvement.

As a result, FSD has become one of the few trump cards in Tesla’s hands that can attract users in China.

In addition, it seems that Tesla’s landing in China FSD has already been laid out.

For example, as early as 2021, Tesla’s data center in Shanghai has realized the localized storage of China business, thus meeting the general rules of supervision.

It is worth mentioning that the policy on autonomous driving is also blowing warm air frequently.

In May 2023, the Shanghai Economic and Information Committee indicated that it would promote the layout of Tesla’s autonomous driving business in Shanghai.

Considering the relationship between Shanghai and Tesla (the latter’s only super factory is located in Shanghai), FSD’s entry into the China market is certain.

By the end of last year, with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other four ministries and commissions jointly issuing the Notice on Launching the Pilot Work of Intelligent Networked Vehicles Access and Road Access, it was clearly stated that L3 and L4 intelligent Networked Vehicles with mass production conditions could be piloted in a limited area.

02

Autopilot makes Tesla worth 10 trillion?

It is no secret that Tesla is betting on autonomous driving technology.

In fact, over the past years, elon musk has been emphasizing the importance of autonomous driving to the automobile industry and its significance to Tesla.

As early as an internal meeting in 2022, Musk wanted to build a Robotaxi (self-driving taxi) with "no rearview mirror, accelerator or brake pedal, and steering wheel".

He stressed that he doesn’t want a "half-baked" Robotaxi, and Tesla must "take risks", that is, put all your eggs in one basket on autonomous driving.

The crazy CEO believes that Robotaxi will change everything and make Tesla a company worth $10 trillion.

Almost a year later, Morgan Stanley also threw out a similar view, but the tone was reduced-for example, "10 trillion US dollars" was counted as the size of the autonomous driving market, not the value of Tesla.

The well-known investment bank said in a research report that the Tesla supercomputer "Dojo" will bring Tesla a market value increase of up to 500 billion US dollars.

Morgan Stanley’s research report has worked.

Tesla’s share price soared by 10.09%, and its market value increased by nearly 80 billion US dollars.

At that time, Tesla’s market value was close to 870 billion US dollars.

But now, after more than half a year, Tesla’s market value is only about 450 billion US dollars.

In August, Tesla is said to release that Robotaxi.

picture

However, the price reduction of FSD now shows that the prospect of autonomous driving seems to be unable to bring additional aura to Tesla.

Musk’s explanation for FSD price reduction is that the price reduction is to let more users try this system.

I think the price of FSD will increase in direct proportion to its value over time, and the current low price is only temporary.

He also said that Tesla is willing to authorize other car companies to use FSD technology.

03

The "ethical" problem has been basically solved.

As far as the China market is concerned, users and investment institutions are generally optimistic about the FDS landing, and think that it will become the "catfish" in the smart driving market-the same role that Tesla was given after setting up a factory in Shanghai.

Guotai Junan believes that the entry of FSD into the China market will help the rapid development of the domestic autonomous driving industry.

CITIC Securities released a research report saying that FSD is expected to stimulate consumers’ willingness to pay.

This points out the pain point of the current smart driving market in China-except for Huawei ADS2.0, it is difficult for most car companies to realize the charging mode for their smart driving systems, and most of them are directly "sent" to users.

However, for a long time, autonomous driving systems, including Tesla, faced "ethical" problems.

In other words, who should be responsible for a traffic accident in a self-driving car?

In August 2022, Robotaxi, a "radish run" owned by Baidu, was rear-ended by a truck, and the rear car was judged to be fully responsible.

picture

In 2023, Robotaxi of "Rapunzel Run" scraped another normal vehicle, but left the scene after a short pause.

This has caused a new problem-who should be responsible after the driverless car "hit and run"?

According to the Regulations on the Administration of Intelligent Networked Vehicles in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, which was officially implemented in Shenzhen on August 1, 2022, if there is a violation of road traffic safety in an intelligent networked vehicle with a driver, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall deal with the driver according to law.

In case of road traffic safety violation during the period when there is no driver in the fully automatic intelligent networked car, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall deal with the vehicle owner and manager according to law.

In addition, if a driver’s intelligent networked car causes damage due to a traffic accident, the driver shall be liable for compensation.

If a fully self-driving intelligent networked car causes damage due to a traffic accident during the period when there is no driver, the vehicle owner and manager shall be liable for compensation.

On November 17, 2023, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other four departments jointly issued the "Notice on Launching the Pilot Work of Intelligent Networked Vehicle Access and Road Access", which also clarified the responsibility of high-level intelligent driving accidents for the first time.

picture

That is, if the autopilot system is not activated and an accident occurs, the responsibility shall be divided according to the current regulations.

If the autopilot system is activated, the pilot enterprise or the user shall submit relevant certificates, and if it is not submitted, it shall bear corresponding responsibilities.

Intelligent networked vehicles can be used as the object of liability judgment in accidents, and the pilot users are liable for compensation according to the liability judgment.

This basically clarifies the responsibility issues involved in the process of driving self-driving cars on the road.

However, it should be pointed out that the Notice jointly issued by the four departments is only a "pilot" at present.

04

Does FSD have security risks?

For Tesla’s FSD, the trouble is not only ethical issues, but also supervision.

At the end of last year, Tesla recalled more than 2.03 million electric vehicles.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the reason for the recall is that the autopilot system has security risks.

This is the second time Tesla recalled the car for the same matter last year.

In the recall in early 2023, Tesla recalled about 360,000 cars with "fully automatic driving test version" software installed.

The California Vehicle Authority (DMV) also believes that Tesla conducted "deceptive propaganda" when using the terms "Autopilot" and "FSD".

In 2022, DMV even brought Tesla to court on the grounds of "false propaganda" in autonomous driving.

California has also passed a bill prohibiting the description of "autonomous driving" in smart driving advertisements.

For Tesla to release Robotaxi in August 2024, DMV also said that it has not received Tesla’s application for related business in California.

However, judging from Musk’s statement, it is expected that these will not affect the smooth entry of FSD into China.

The only suspense at present is the price.

According to Tesla official website, the price of its "enhanced automatic assisted driving function" in China is 32,000 yuan, and the price of its "fully automatic driving ability" is 64,000 yuan.

This price is about $8,800, which is close to the price of FSD in the United States.

Correspondingly, on the eve of the Shanghai Auto Show in 2023, Huawei released ADS 2.0, with a one-time purchase of 36,000 yuan and an annual subscription of 7,200 yuan, and a monthly subscription to 720 yuan.

Whether FSD can continue to play the role of "catfish" in the smart driving market remains to be verified by time.

  Date of birth: January 13th, 1969.

  Nickname: Golden Boy, Prince in the Pocket.

  Nationality: Scotland

  World ranking in 2004/5 season: 3

  Stephen Hendry-Personal Overview

  Stephen Hendry (January 13th, 1969-), born in Edinburgh, Scotland, is an active professional snooker player.  

  career

  Hendry showed his talent for playing snooker when he was a teenager. He won the Scottish Amateur Championship at the age of 15, and officially turned professional in the following year. Thus becoming the youngest professional player in the history of snooker.

  Hendry won the world championship for the first time in 1990, when he was only 21 years old. After that, it got out of hand and dominated the snooker world in the 1990s. The last time he won the World Championship was in 1999, thus becoming the player who won the most World Championships after Joe Davis and Fred Davis with a record of seven championships. Compared with Davis Brothers’ outshining performance when there were not many professional players at that time and their level was generally low, it is even more commendable that Hendry can achieve such results in today’s snooker world where the top players gather.

  In addition to his brilliant record in the World Championships, Hendry also holds some other snooker records: he won the most prize money (more than 7.5 million pounds). Played the maximum score of 147 points in official competitions (8 times); Played a perfect score in the finals of major competitions such as the World Championships (3 times); The record of single shot exceeding 100 for the most times (659 times); Won the championship title of the most ranked events (36 times). Longest unbeaten record: from March 17, 1990 to January 13, 1991, he lost to jimmy white, during which he won five ranking events and was unbeaten in 36 consecutive ranking events. [1]

  Stephen Hendry-Career Story

  The snooker legend has defeated Dave Harold and Mark Williams. In the match with Ronnie O ‘Sullivan, he also led 4-1 before the opponent retired, which showed that he was recovering to his peak. The 9-7 victory over Graeme Dortmund in the semi-final was impressive, and it also made him enter the final against Peter Ai Bodun. Although he led 3-1 at the beginning of the game, he lost 6-10 in the end, thus missing the opportunity to win the UK championship for the sixth time.

  At the beginning of this race, Hendry strongly refuted a reporter’s suggestion that his career would decline sharply in the second half of his 30 s. Although he lost in the final, he remained optimistic about his future: "I am very satisfied with the present situation, and I am 100% sure that this season is much better than the previous one." He said, "My game will only get better and better. I felt comfortable and confident all week before, but I feel nothing tonight. I just feel a little weak and can’t enter the state at all. I missed too many long balls. "

  In the end, it turned out that it was his only final last season, although he also reached the semi-final of the Masters.

  In the World Championships, Hendry almost slipped on a banana peel in the match with David Gilbert, but he finally survived, but then he lost to Ali Carter with a score of 6-13.

  "This is actually a problem for the whole season." He said, "It seems that I can’t always bring my training state into play in the competition. I always control the ball well in training, and then I can’t play naturally in the game. I have lost my confidence, and I have to win the game to get it back.

  Hendry therefore lost the first place in the world and fell to the eighth place.

  Last season, Hendry really crossed a milestone-he scored 127 points in the third game between the Maltese Cup and Robert Milkins, which made his career’s percentage break through the 700 mark.

  The last ranking champion he won so far was in the Malta Cup in 2005, and he defeated Graeme Dortmund 9-7 in the final.

  Hendry is recognized as the best snooker player in history. He dominated the snooker arena in the 1990s. [2]

  Stephen Hendry-brilliant record

  73 champions, including 32 scoring champions, 7 world championships, 6 Masters and 5 British championships, ranking first in the world from 1990 to 1997.

  The youngest player who won the world billiards championship was 21 years old and 106 days (April 29, 1990).

  The first player to score 147 points in the scoring ranking competition with the highest score of more than two times.

  The only player who can hit seven Baidu shots in the same event in the professional tournament (1994 British Championship). And he was the first player to hit five Baidu shots in seven consecutive games.

  Longest unbeaten record: from March 17, 1990 to January 13, 1991, he lost to White, won 5 ranking championships and 36 consecutive ranking competitions.

  One of the players who have won both the World Championship and the British Championship in the same season, the other players are Davis and Higgins.

  personal glory

China’s statement denouncing the US for launching a trade war was refuted by the US think tank.

  This article also quotes an American science and technology think tank that ranks first in the world, saying that China’s statement is seriously divorced from the facts, just like writing a novel, and lists how this American think tank refuted China’s official statement to pieces.

  However, in Brother honest and frank’s view, this article, which has caused many "haters" to climax, especially the refutation of us by the American think tank, is full of loopholes and serious injuries … ..

  Text:

  Let’s first introduce this so-called "No.1 in the world" science and technology think tank. It is called "American Information Technology and Innovation Foundation" (ITIF for short), and its chairman is robert Atkinson. It has served as a consultant in the fields of trade and scientific and technological innovation in former US presidents Obama, Clinton and George W. Bush.

  Therefore, when such a figure jumps out to criticize China, the people who eat melons will naturally be intimidated by his title and resume, and it is easy to listen to his story.

  What’s more, this Mr. Atkinson has been publishing articles and reports that criticize China’s trade behavior "systematically" since a long time ago, such as Enough: Facing China’s New Mercantilism in 2012 and False Commitment: The Great Gap between China’s Commitment to the WTO and Reality in 2015.

  What is mentioned in the popular article in the WeChat circle of friends today is an article that he specially wrote to "criticize" our statement one by one after the Ministry of Commerce issued a statement on the US trade war behavior.

  But although Atkinson has painstakingly coded more than 1000 words to criticize the statement of our government, his refutation is full of all kinds of rhetoric traps such as "stealing concepts", "logic inversion", "selective blindness" and even "making things up".

  Let’s talk about it one by one:

  【1】

  In the first article of its statement, China’s Ministry of Commerce accused the US of "fabricating a whole set of distorted truth about Sino-US economic and trade relations" under the pretext of "suppressing China’s development for domestic political needs". Atkinson’s refutation is that China did not give a satisfactory answer to a series of allegations in the official statement of the United States and his own article "Enough: We must face China’s new mercantilism" published in 2012. (The original words are "China has yet to satisfactorily responded to all of the claim")

  However, the problem is that the accusations against China in the US 301 Report and the accusations against China in Atkinson’s own report in 2012 are simply unrealistic "crooked theories" and have been criticized by us all the time, so how can we "satisfy" you with China’s reply?

  Moreover, Atkinson’s 2012 report was refuted by scholars in China at the time of publication. Among them, Dr. Yang Zhihuang from Peking University, who works for the Ministry of Commerce, wrote "Confrontation of Confrontation — — Refuting the article "China’s innovative mercantilism" of American think tank, 1 vividly reveals that Atkinson knows that China is not "mercantilism" at all, so he invented a so-called "new mercantilism" by expounding in detail the aspects of "dollar hegemony", "China’s economic growth structure", "China’s family planning policy" and "China’s trade and foreign investment policy".

  More importantly, the so-called huge "trade deficit" between China and the United States is the core reason for Trump’s trade war with China. This is also the basis for Trump to launch the 301 investigation and trade war against China, and it is clearly written in the "background" column of the US 301 investigation report.

  However, Trump’s obsession with the "trade deficit" has long been criticized by American media, scholars and think tanks, which is a very wrong practice, because it ignores the respective positions of China and the United States in the global industrial chain. For example, the Brookings Institution of the United States pointed out in an article that the added value of China’s products exported to the United States is actually very low, and it is harmful for the United States to engage in trade wars.

  Therefore, we accuse the United States of "fabricating a set of policy logic that distorts the truth of Sino-US economic and trade relations for the purpose of domestic political needs and suppressing China’s development", and there is no problem.

  【2】

  In view of China’s Ministry of Commerce’s refutation of the US accusation of "mercantilism", that is, the success of China’s economy depends not on "mercantilism" but on "firmly promoting market-oriented reform and constantly expanding opening up", Atkinson criticized us and said, "What about your China enterprises taking money from the China government to buy American technology companies? This is not mercantilism? "

  However, Atkinson obviously hasn’t read the Report on Overseas Sustainable Development of China Enterprises issued by the Ministry of Commerce and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. Because this annual report clearly shows that bank loans are the most important source of funds for overseas mergers and acquisitions of China enterprises, and these banks include both domestic banks and overseas banks.

  Another data further shows that in 2016, China Chemical acquired Swiss Syngenta for US$ 43 billion, that is, a consortium of 17 banks at home and abroad provided financing, with a bank loan amount of about US$ 33 billion; In the same year, Tencent acquired game developer Supercell for $8.6 billion, of which $3.5 billion was loans provided by many banks at home and abroad.

  In addition, it is worth mentioning that the China Municipal Government actually does not encourage China enterprises to blindly engage in "mergers and acquisitions" abroad. On the one hand, it will increase financial risks, and on the other hand, it will have a negative impact on China’s foreign investment.

  【3】

  In response to my Ministry of Commerce’s accusation that "the US side imposed artificial restrictions on the export of high-tech products with comparative advantages out of the Cold War mentality", thus aggravating the US trade deficit with China, Atkinson retorted to the Ministry of Commerce that "your China administration pursues [import — Alternative] policy, and you also restrict the import of American semiconductors. "

  Actually, brother honest and frank has to thank Mr. Atkinson for specifically mentioning the example of semiconductor. Because people who have long been concerned about the development of China’s semiconductor industry know very well that it was the Wassenaar Agreement, which was made by the United States and its allies in 1994 and was full of cold war meaning, which prohibited the export of modern international semiconductor equipment to China, which forced China to make efforts to develop its own industry, so as not to be strangled by the United States and lose the country’s independent ability.

  Therefore, Atkinson’s criticism of China confuses "cause" and "effect".

  【4】

  Regarding China’s Ministry of Commerce’s statement that China is constantly improving the legal system of intellectual property protection and promoting relevant trials to refute the US statement that China stole American intellectual property rights, Atkinson sarcastically said, "Is this the reason why Qualcomm, an American company, was found to have violated the anti-monopoly law only in your China court and was severely punished by $1 billion? And you also used this case in 2015 to force Qualcomm to sell its technology license at a low price, which is unique in the world. ".

  In other words, what Atkinson means is that you in China are not protecting intellectual property rights at all, but infringing on and attacking American enterprises in the name of protection.

  But Atkinson seems to forget that in January this year, the European Union also fined Qualcomm more than $1 billion for violating the anti-monopoly law, and in 2016, Qualcomm was fined more than $800 million by a Korean court.

  What is even more puzzling is that anti-monopoly and intellectual property protection are obviously two things. Why does Atkinson want to mix these two things? — — Could it be that "intellectual property protection" in Mr Atkinson’s eyes is to allow enterprises like Qualcomm to abuse their dominant market position?

  In fact, in terms of intellectual property protection, China has indeed safeguarded the interests of the United States and Qualcomm. Last year, for example, a company named "Qualcomm" in Shanghai touched porcelain in Qualcomm, USA, and asked Qualcomm, USA to pay 100 million yuan for trademark infringement. In the end, Qualcomm not only won the case, but also Qualcomm was fined 10,000 yuan by Beijing Intellectual Property Court for forging evidence. 8。

  【5】

  In response to China’s Ministry of Commerce’s denial of China’s request for "compulsory technology transfer" to foreign-funded enterprises accused by the US, Atkinson’s attack was "how come an EU survey found that only 12% of foreign companies are willing to continue the current joint venture model if the relevant requirements for joint ventures in China are cancelled?"

  Atkinson also claimed that many American economists knew that China had a policy of compulsory technology transfer. Although China didn’t require foreign companies to abide by it, it would be bad luck if they didn’t.

  Of course, Atkinson’s statement itself is not new. After all, this is what the US government has been accusing China of for more than 10 years.

  Moreover, it is not only the United States that "accuses" China of asking foreign companies to "force technology transfer". The survey conducted by the European Union in 2013 mentioned by Atkinson shows that the foreign-funded enterprises interviewed are generally dissatisfied with the requirements of the joint venture required by the laws of China, and only 12% of the enterprises interviewed said that they can accept the existing joint venture arrangements.

  However, this dissatisfaction is mainly due to the restriction on the share ratio of the joint venture, that is, the foreign shareholding cannot exceed 50% at most. Among them, more than half of foreign companies indicated in this survey that they hope to own all the shares in the enterprise.

  In fact, some foreign-funded enterprises are dissatisfied with the share ratio distribution of joint ventures in China, which is one of the main reasons why they constantly accuse China of "compulsory technology transfer" out of thin air. At the same time, the rapid rise of China, especially the progress in science and technology, has also made these enterprises feel that their advantages over China are gradually weakening, which has further aggravated their anxiety and intensified their clamour for "compulsory technology transfer".

  However, as Wei Jianguo, the former vice minister of the Ministry of Commerce, said, this accusation is totally groundless, because China has never had any official laws and policies requiring foreign investors to transfer technology. China News Service also quoted professionals as saying in a report that there is only a "paid license for technology use" in China that will benefit foreign investors, but there is no law or policy requiring technology ownership transfer. It is "nonsense" to accuse China of compulsory technology transfer.

  In addition, this year, the China government has relaxed the restrictions on the share ratio in joint ventures, so that foreign investors can have a decisive say in joint ventures. China also promised in "black and white" that the relevant share ratio restrictions will be lifted by 12% around 2021 and 2022.

  【6】

  In view of the statement that the industrial policies such as "Made in China 2025" put forward by the Ministry of Commerce of China are only guiding and leading policies under the market economy, and are also open to foreign investment, Atkinson retorts that "all the subsidies are given to enterprises in China, but not to the United States, so you are not guiding policies at all, but subsidizing China enterprises to attack American enterprises".

  But Atkinson’s rebuttal seems to deliberately omit two messages: 1. The Ministry of Commerce still has such a half sentence in its reply about "Made in China 2025": "Ironically, the United States itself has a large number of subsidies in agriculture and manufacturing" 13; 2. Many government departments in China have repeatedly stated through the media that the policy of "Made in China 2025" will bring equal opportunities to foreign-funded enterprises.

  For example, Xin Guobin, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said last year that China’s first domestic large aircraft C919 is a "model of cooperation between Chinese and foreign enterprises": its engines, avionics and flight control systems come from several European and American joint ventures or wholly-owned companies, and its suppliers include General Electric Company and Honeywell Company, among which there are more than a dozen overseas enterprises among the first-class suppliers, and there are about hundreds of second-class and third-class suppliers. Moreover, after the successful first flight of C919, GE made a special news announcement, stating that it participated in the China Large Aircraft Project 14.

  In response to China’s Ministry of Commerce’s statement that China has been actively negotiating with the US on trade differences, instead of "ignoring it" as the US said, and the statement that the US started a trade war, Atkinson retorted that "you started a trade war in China more than 20 years ago, and Trump just responded, and in recent years, you in China have been constantly delaying and avoiding the questions raised by the US".

  So don’t try to "grab the moral high ground", Atkinson said.

  But Atkinson is actually "stealing the concept". As Brother honest and frank said earlier, the root cause of the Trump administration’s trade war against China is that he thinks there is a "huge trade deficit" between China and the United States, and the persistent trade differences between China and the United States are all aimed at narrowing the trade deficit.

  At the same time, the "trade deficit" is also the main reason why Trump launched a trade war against several American allies at the same time.

  Therefore, China’s Ministry of Commerce is right to say that the United States fired the first shot.

  As for the trade disputes between China and the United States, before Trump came to power, the trade negotiations between the United States and China in the past few years actually managed to control these differences, and made gradual adjustments to each other on a rational basis. On the contrary, Trump broke this mode of cooperation as soon as he took office, threatening China and its allies with tariff sticks that American experts and think tanks and even Atkinson himself opposed, and his own negotiating team was even more confused, which had already been exposed by the American media for many times.

  Therefore, our Ministry of Commerce is not wrong about trade differences and negotiations.

  In addition, Brother honest and frank thinks that Mr. Atkinson should also make up the basic knowledge of "trade war", and then look at how many benefits Sino-US trade has brought to the United States in recent years. Finally, think about if China launched a trade war against the United States as early as 20 years ago, are these benefits for the United States blown by strong winds?

  In response to the statement made by the Ministry of Commerce of China in the last paragraph that China will "continue to promote opening up, create an attractive investment environment, firmly support economic globalization, and firmly safeguard the international economic and trade system", Atkinson sarcastically said, "You said it well, but in fact you didn’t do it at all".

  His reason is that he wrote a report in 2015 claiming that China has not fulfilled most of its commitments after its accession to the World Trade Organization.

  However, after this report was published in 2015, it was immediately refuted by domestic scholars in China. Among them, Professor Cui Fan of university of international business and economics refuted the so-called unfulfilled promises of China listed in Atkinson’s report one by one.

  Professor Cui even found that most of Atkinson’s accusations against China in the WTO were not only absurd, but also made up many nonexistent "commitments" of China’s accession to the WTO 17… …

  Finally, I believe that when you read this, you will find that although Atkinson and the "American Information Technology and Innovation Foundation" he founded do have certain authority in the United States, many of his viewpoints cannot withstand the cross-examination of evidence from China, and even many of his viewpoints are further exposed to the problem of "falsification" under this cross-examination.

  However, his poor "refutation" of China’s Ministry of Commerce can be spread on WeChat, not only because the spectators have excessive emotions and lack of common sense, but also because our media and even think tanks have not done enough in the field of communication for the public.

  Therefore, although Atkinson’s point of view is absurd, his hard work to discredit China should bring us some touches and thoughts.
