563 days from birth to abortion: What did Apple AirPower experience?

I have to say that Apple has set a Flag for two years. After nearly two years of waiting, AirPower officially announced abortion.

As Apple’s first wireless charger, AirPower was released with iPhone X on September 13, 2017, Beijing time; On March 30, 2019, Apple officially announced the cancellation of AirPower because it could not meet Apple’s high hardware standards.

Ending a released product before it is released is unprecedented in Apple’s history.

1. Apple announced the cancellation of the AirPower project.

563 days from birth to abortion: What did Apple AirPower experience?

On March 30, 2019, Beijing time, Apple officially cancelled the AirPower wireless charging pillow project today. As for the reason, Apple saidCan not meet its high standards for hardware products.

563 days from birth to abortion: What did Apple AirPower experience?

Dan Riccio, Apple’s senior vice president of hardware engineering, mentioned in the statement: "After hard work, we came to the conclusion that AirPower could not meet our high standards, so we cancelled the project. We apologize to those users who are looking forward to the release of AirPower. We still firmly believe that the future is wireless and are committed to pushing the wireless experience forward. "

In September 2017, Apple released the AirPower charging pillow with iPhone X, describing an innovative accessory that can wirelessly charge three Apple products at the same time, which was widely expected after the release.

However, it has not been officially released for nearly two years, and there are rumors that Apple has encountered technical problems that cannot be overcome, which has blocked its listing.

But there are also rumors that bring some hope to fans, and users still don’t want to see the project completely end.

Second, why did AirPower cancel?

Although Apple said that the reason for the cancellation was that AirPower could not meet their high standards, as for the exact reason, as early as September 2018, it was reported that AirPower would have a difficult delivery.

The first news broke out was Sonny Dickson, who said on September 17, 2018 that there were three major problems in the production of AirPower from some Apple insiders, which made the product unable to go on the market as scheduled, and it would be delayed or even abandoned.

563 days from birth to abortion: What did Apple AirPower experience?

1. Overheating management problem: At present, AirPower generates too much heat, which reduces the charging rate. As the heat is transferred to the charging device during charging, it affects the charging, and at the same time, the heat will affect the internal charging chip using the "reduced iOS version", making some of its functions invalid.

2. Whether in software or hardware, the docking between AirPower and different devices is still not stable, especially when docking with Apple Watch and AirPod, there will be problems when transmitting charging data to iPhone.

3. The part responsible for wireless charging of AirPower consists of 21 to 24 induction coils. In order to charge at most three groups of products at the same time, AirPower has to divide the induction coils into three groups, which seems to be good in design, but it is quite complicated when the real production starts.

3. In the 563 days from birth to abortion, what did AirPower experience?

February 2017: Apple officially joined WPC wireless power consortium.

563 days from birth to abortion: What did Apple AirPower experience?

On February 12, 2017, we learned from the supply chain that Apple officially joined WPC wirelesspowerconsortium. By logging in to WirelessPowerConsortium official website, we learned that Apple’s information has been included in the certification catalogue, which involves two main parts: mobile phones and mobile phone accessories.

WPC(Wireless Power Consortium) was established on December 17th, 2008. Its mission is to create and promote the wide adoption of the international wireless charging standard Qi compatible with all rechargeable electronic devices in the market.

February 2017: Apple responded to why it joined WPC wireless power consortium.

Regarding why we joined WPC wireless power consortium, an Apple spokesman responded to this matter: Apple is a member of many industry development organizations, and as the leader and contributor of these organizations, Apple actively participates in the activities of these organizations.

Apple’s participation in wireless power consortium is intended to participate in the open cooperative development of future wireless charging standards and provide more ideas for the development of wireless charging standards. We are very much looking forward to its cooperation with WPC and other members of the alliance.

In addition, WPC also responded to Apple’s accession to the alliance: the companies that occupy the largest market in the mobile phone market are now members of WPC, and they will actively participate in the discussion of wireless charging standards. In the past year, we have seen that Qi has become the de facto standard for wireless charging. This year, we expect the whole ecosystem to have a stronger development momentum.

[Competitors are BYD Surui, Great Wall C50, Emgrand EC7 and Changan Yidong]

 

    Comparatively speaking, among these rivals, BYD Speedy and Great Wall C50 are equipped with 1.5T engines. In addition, Speedy also has remote control function and DCT dual clutch, which makes the brand-new Familia M5 not dominant in technology. However, Familia M5 still has certain advantages in CVT gearbox of Emgrand EC7 and 5MT of Great Wall C50. In the future, the arrival of Familia M5 1.5T model will widen this advantage and become one of the more powerful competitive models among the A+ class models of its own brand.

    Editor’s comment:With the continuous expansion of Haima’s product line, Familia, once a "pillar" model, may no longer be the biggest support for Haima’s annual sales data. However, with the continuous progress and strengthening of the product itself, the promotion of its market competitiveness still gives the new generation Familia M5 a brand-new historical mission. It is only a transition from maturity to success, and it still needs to stand the test of the market.

The battery life is over 2208km! Roewe D7 DMH World Champion Edition goes on sale.

On November 8, the DMH World Champion Edition was officially launched, and three new models were launched, with a guide price of 123,800-143,800 yuan. In addition, the new car has launched a "bite price", with a discount of 24,000 yuan to 99,800 yuan. After the World Champion Edition was added, the number of models on sale of Roewe D7 DMH increased to 6, with the guide price range of 123,800-145,800 yuan.

It is worth mentioning that the name of "World Champion Edition" comes from the fact that Roewe D7 DMH conducted a battery life measurement not long ago. The car successfully broke the Guinness World Record with a maximum distance of 2208.719km and an average fuel consumption as low as 2.49L per 100 km, and became the "car with the longest distance of driving with full fuel and electricity at a single time".

Despite the halo blessing of "world champion", the market performance of Roewe D7 DMH is not bright. In October, the sales volume was 2,227, ranking 90th on the car sales list. When the new car went on the market, Roewe D7 DMH was directly named after the "World Champion Edition", hoping to boost its market sales.

As an extended version, Roewe D7 DMH World Champion Edition has not been greatly adjusted in appearance, interior and configuration, but some details have been refreshed. In terms of appearance, the new car is equipped with a new style of wheels, which adds a bit of movement to the whole car. In addition, the new car has added the color of "Dawn Gold" to provide users with more choices.

In terms of size, Roewe D7 DMH World Champion Edition locates medium-sized cars, with body length, width and height of 4890/1890/1510mm, wheelbase of 2810mm and trunk volume of 450L. This size provides users with a spacious ride space, but the price of less than 100 thousand yuan has greatly improved its cost performance, which can be said to be the price of B-class cars only selling A-class cars.

In the interior part, the diamond texture of the middle and high models is changed to parallel lines, which is visually more simple, but does not lose the sense of fashion. In terms of configuration, Roewe D7 DMH World Champion Edition is equipped with a 12.3-inch central control touch screen and LCD instrument, which has the functions of voice control, continuous voice recognition, car networking, 4G WIFI, car KTV and so on. The high-equipped models provide L2-level automatic driving assistance.

In terms of power, Roewe D7 DMH adopts DMH system, equipped with 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and motor. The maximum power of the 1.5L engine is 82kW, and the maximum power of the motor is 137kW. The transmission system is matched with the first-speed DHT gearbox. The CLTC has a pure electric cruising range of 125km, a comprehensive cruising range of 1400km, and the lowest fuel consumption of WLTC is 3.95L/100km.

Comments: As an old-fashioned traditional car company in China, Roewe’s electrification transformation is still relatively positive. At present, a number of pure electric and DMH hybrid models have been launched, including the Roewe D7 DMH World Champion Edition, which was redesigned and listed this time. Although the listing of the new car has not changed much, the starting price of less than 100 thousand yuan is still sincere, which is a good choice for users who pursue practicality and long battery life.

Qilu New Year’s Customs Rise and Fall: What do you pay attention to when you string relatives in Shandong for the New Year?


  Jinan

  On the second day of the lunar new year, you must bring gifts to your parents’ home. According to the old rules, these gifts are a knife of meat (not less than four or five kilograms), two fish (fresh carp, each fish must weigh more than one kilogram, also known as "fish"), three bottles of white wine and four kilograms of snacks (egg cake, longevity cake, peach cake and ancient philosophers cake). These gifts are collectively referred to as "four-color gifts", which contain the four seasons of the year.

  Qingdao

  Visiting relatives from the first day of the first month. In Qingdao, "pro" and "qi" are strictly separated. On New Year’s Day, it is for important people and elders to pay New Year greetings. In the past, it was necessary to kowtow to elders, but now it is not very particular. Generally, it is just to bow and ask "Happy New Year", but aunts and cousins are not allowed to walk around on this day. On the second day of the second month, I pay a New Year call to my grandmother, when my grandmother is away, my son-in-law pays a New Year call to my mother-in-law, and on the fourth day, my unmarried but engaged daughter-in-law pays a New Year call to my future in-laws. From the fifth day of the first month, it is the day to walk around my aunts and cousins.

  Visiting relatives and bringing gifts is called "making a basket" in Qingdao dialect, because in the past, visiting relatives used bamboo baskets that were brushed with clear oil and woven with thin bamboo strips. As for what to put in it, there is nothing special about it. Just put whatever you have at home, one or two bottles of Jimo old wine, two Bao Qing biscuits and a few apples, and that’s all. Anyway, relatives will only come up with one or two, and then press one or two back for a change, so as not to let the empty basket go back.

  Zibo

  When they return to their parents’ home, the girls will put the steamed bun as a basic gift into a basket, and then put four packets of snacks wrapped in red paper at the four corners of the basket, and then insert them with several sesame cakes. In this way, because the baked wheat cake is much higher than the rice basket after it is inserted empty, when the rice basket is finally covered with red bags, it looks like both festive gifts and many gifts. It indicates that the small days are full of prosperity and beauty.

  When a daughter brings a gift to her parents, parents usually don’t return it. Parents will not accept all the gifts from their daughters, but leave them at the bottom of the basket, which means that they can’t let their daughters go home empty-handed.

  Weifang

  In the old days, people usually brought steamed bread, cakes, meat or two pounds of big fruit (fried dough sticks), and even better, two pounds of snacks and two pounds of loose wine. When the daughter goes back to her parents’ home, she brings a handkerchief (a general name for gifts in Weifang), in addition to snacks and wine, many also bring a white scaly fish that is "pressed in the pot" on New Year’s Eve (two white scaly fish and two tofu are put in the cooking pot on New Year’s Eve).

  Yantai

  String relatives, Yantai dialect is called "going out". In Yantai, the most distinctive "going out" gift for the Spring Festival is a kind of pasta called "Bobo". Every year after the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month (that is, off-year), every family will make many "cakes". Flour needs to be kneaded many times to make it into the shape of a bird’s head and a big round body, which is called "milk cake"; Or make it into a round shape, with cut red dates all over it, which is called "jujube cake".

  Visiting relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year is usually from the second day to the fifth and sixth day, and can be extended to the fifteenth at the latest. There used to be such a jingle: "Pay homage to the fifth and sixth day of the New Year, and there is no cake and no meat." That means life is not good. If you are poor, you won’t have anything to eat on the fifth and sixth day. It doesn’t mean that you can’t visit relatives on the fifth and sixth day. Gifts brought by visiting relatives and friends are usually four cakes and a package of peach cakes. If the other person is an elder or an important relative, he will also bring a bottle of wine.

  On the second day of the second day, the new son-in-law will bring six big gifts to her in-laws’ families, and the six big gifts must be enough. There are two cocks, two fish, two bottles of wine, a back elbow and a pack of vermicelli. There is also a saying called "new three years and old three years", which means that the son-in-law who has been married for less than three years should prepare the same gift every year when he goes to his father-in-law’s house. The latter three years can be a little worse, and he can’t be casual until six years later.

  Generally, when visiting relatives to give gifts, you should carry a basket with a dozen white-flour steamed buns and rice cakes and zongzi made by yourself. The rice cake is made like a pagoda, divided into nine layers, and each layer will be pressed with a circle of red dates. After the rice cake is steamed, the thorns of red dates are outside, bulging, and some have cracked their mouths, which looks really cute.

  Generally, we go to friends’ homes, mostly before the Spring Festival, while we go to relatives’ homes, which is after the New Year. No matter where you visit, you should avoid the afternoon. Many people think it is unlucky to visit friends in the afternoon. Since you are visiting relatives and friends on holidays, you can’t go empty-handed. You always have to bring some gifts. During the Spring Festival, the most common gifts are tobacco, alcohol, sugar, tea, cakes and fruits, and some buy clothes for children of relatives and friends, and they will not forget to give them a lucky money.

  Linyi

  In Linyi, visiting relatives and friends in the New Year is called "going out". When you go out, you should bring some gifts. In the early 1980s, the gifts you brought were nothing more than steamed buns, vegetable bags, bean bags, vermicelli, etc. If the family conditions were good, you should put one or two carp, one or two packs of biscuits or peach cakes, and weigh one catty of sugar for the elderly.

  Zaozhuang 

  People often carry gifts to string relatives before the festival, which is called "send-off gift", and after the festival, it is a pure New Year greeting. There are no special rules about gifts, but the quantity must be an even number to show good luck. The main family will return some specialties such as vermicelli and vermicelli.

  Texas

  There is nothing special about visiting relatives to give gifts during the New Year in Texas. In the past, when the living standard was not high, the "bun basket" was the most important gift. Even when the daughter with the worst living standard goes back to her mother’s house, she should put the steamed white steamed buns, fried fruits and other foods in the basket, cover it with a clean towel on the belly of the sheep, and bring two packs of avocados (snacks) with her if she is a little better.

  Liaocheng

  In the past, the living conditions were not good, and the gifts given by my parents were nothing more than snacks and steamed bread, and some sugar, wine and fruit. Later, with the improvement of living standards, it was fashionable to give four-color gifts, namely wine, chicken, fish and meat, all of which must be in even numbers. Only half of the family’s things were kept and the other half was returned. In return, the bride’s family wants to send jujube flower cakes, which are quite large and silver-basin-like, which means step by step (cakes) every year. You should bring such a generous gift three years before you get married, and then you will be free.

  Binzhou

  In the old days, when I went back to my mother’s house, I usually brought her two Jin of steamed bread (with red dots on the steamed bread) and two Jin of dried noodles. If the family conditions were good, I would buy another Jin of cakes, put them in a basket woven with plastic strips and cover them with cloth. When she comes back, her mother’s family will leave half of what she has taken and bring the rest back by herself. This is called "leaving a leftover head". Visiting relatives is also sending steamed bread and noodles.

Live up to the spring, work hard, and push forward the high-quality development with new atmosphere and new actions.

CCTV News:On the second day of the Tomb-Sweeping Day holiday, the national traffic was running smoothly and orderly; Hiking, flower viewing and traditional cultural theme activities have all become new hot spots in tourism consumption; Third-and fourth-tier cities have become "dark horses" during the Qingming holiday, which has unexpectedly gained high popularity. Economically, China’s commodity price index rebounded slightly in March from the previous month, and the market operation showed a recovery trend; In March this year, the top 100 real estate enterprises achieved a sales transaction amount of 358.32 billion yuan, a substantial increase of 92.8% from the previous month; In 2023, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area’s total economic output exceeded 14 trillion yuan, and its comprehensive strength reached a higher level. China is full of vitality in spring.

Various policies to stabilize the economy continued to exert their strength. Greater Bay Area’s comprehensive strength has reached a new level.

China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing announced China’s commodity price index for March on April 5th. In March, China’s commodity price index was 112 points, slightly rising from the previous month, indicating that with the continuous efforts of various stable economic policies, downstream consumption gradually picked up and the market operation showed a recovery trend.

In March, China’s commodity price index was 112 points, a slight increase of 0.6% from the previous month. In terms of industries, the price indices of nonferrous metals and chemicals rose month-on-month, especially for nonferrous metals, which rose by 3.6% month-on-month. The chemical price index rose for three consecutive months.

Among the 50 commodities monitored by China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing, compared with last month, the prices of 23 commodities rose in March. The top three varieties with price increases were lithium carbonate, palm oil and refined nickel, which increased by 15.2%, 8.8% and 4.9% respectively from last month.

In addition, the black price index in March fell by 6.7% month-on-month, indicating that the prices of ferrous metals such as steel were lower. Experts said that it was mainly affected by the shortage of funds, the low operating rate of construction projects and the slowdown in raw material procurement of steel mills. With the further implementation of the policy of steady growth, the allocation of capital construction funds and special national debt funds is accelerated, and the demand in the steel market is expected to improve, and prices may rebound after bottoming out in stages.

Experts said that judging from the operation of China’s commodity price index, the index rebounded slightly from the low level in March, indicating that with the continuous efforts of various stable economic policies, market confidence has recovered, downstream consumption has gradually picked up, and economic operation has shown a recovery trend.

Real estate market observation: sales of top 100 real estate enterprises have picked up.

According to the data of Kerui, a third-party research institution, in March this year, the top 100 real estate enterprises achieved a sales transaction amount of 358.32 billion yuan, a substantial increase of 92.8% from the previous month. The latest data released by the Central Finger Research Institute also shows that the monthly sales of the top 100 real estate enterprises increased by 117.3% in March. Although the statistics between institutions are different, it is a common judgment that sales picked up in March. 

According to the statistics of relevant institutions, up to now, at least 152 easing policies have been issued nationwide, with the frequency increasing by about 40% year-on-year. In the eyes of the industry, the main tone of the future real estate policy will remain unchanged, and the expectation of market recovery will continue to increase.

Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area’s comprehensive strength has reached a new level, and its total economic output has exceeded 14 trillion yuan.

Since 2017, "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area" has been written into the government work report for eight consecutive years. This year coincides with the fifth anniversary of the release of the Outline of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Development Plan. In 2023, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area’s economic aggregate exceeded 14 trillion yuan, creating one-ninth of the country’s economic aggregate with less than 0.6% of the country’s land area, and its comprehensive strength reached a new level.

In 2018, the total economic output of Greater Bay Area was 10.8 trillion yuan, an increase of 3.2 trillion yuan in five years. With the in-depth implementation of the Outline of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Development Plan, Guangdong has joined hands with Hong Kong and Macao to speed up the construction of a world-class Greater Bay Area and the best-developed Bay Area, with remarkable results.

The ability of scientific and technological innovation has been continuously improved. The construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area International Science and Technology Innovation Center, Comprehensive National Science Center and High-level Talents Highland has been comprehensively promoted, and Pengcheng Laboratory and Guangzhou Laboratory have been laid out one after another. Greater Bay Area has over 75,000 state-level high-tech enterprises, and a number of leading technology enterprises such as Huawei, Tencent, BYD, Midea and Gree have emerged. Shenzhen — Hong Kong — Guangzhou science and technology cluster ranked second in the world for four consecutive years.

The internal and external communication networks have been accelerated and improved. The annual passenger handling capacity of Greater Bay Area airport group exceeds 280 million passengers, and the annual container handling capacity of port group exceeds 85 million TEUs. The airline network covers major cities and major trade ports in the world. "Greater Bay Area on the track" is more perfect, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge has been completed and put into operation, and the major cities in Greater Bay Area have basically achieved one-hour access.

The construction of major cooperation platforms was accelerated. Hengqin was officially closed for operation on March 1st this year, Qianhai issued the first investor protection regulations in China, Nansha has landed on the three major exchanges of futures, shipping and data, and the comprehensive service base for China enterprises to "go global" was unveiled for operation. The level of market integration has gradually improved, and a number of landmark issues such as "Bay Area Social Security Link", "Cross-border Financial Management Link" and "Cross-border Government Services Link" have been implemented, and the "Bay Area Standards" jointly promulgated by the three places have reached 183.

Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area’s huge market and development opportunities are attracting a number of foreign investors and foreign companies to speed up their layout.

Qingming "spring+culture""Bloom new vitality of consumption

Traffic during the Qingming holiday is smooth and orderly.

Today (April 5) is the second day of the Qingming holiday, and the national traffic is running smoothly and orderly. Starting from tomorrow, the whole country will welcome the return passenger flow, and the transportation department will take many measures to ensure the safety of travel.

The reporter learned from the Ministry of Transport that today, it is estimated that the cross-regional mobility of the whole society will exceed 224 million person-times. Among them, the railway passenger traffic is expected to be 12.65 million, the highway passenger flow is expected to be 209 million, the waterway passenger traffic is expected to be 1 million, and the civil aviation passenger traffic is expected to be 1.62 million.

In popular tourist cities, the railway departments have reconnected EMU trains, increased exit passages at stations, and sent more staff to divert passenger flow during peak hours to reduce passenger congestion.

On the highway side, the traffic volume of the national highway network decreased slightly today compared with yesterday. The traffic flow in major parks, suburban tourist attractions, cemeteries and cemeteries increased, and the traffic pressure on surrounding roads increased. The transportation department increased the frequency of connecting scenic spots with bus lines.

The transportation department reminded that the return passenger flow will be ushered in the whole country from tomorrow, and the free time of the national highway minibus will end at 24: 00 on the 6 th. The toll-free time is based on the time when the vehicle leaves the expressway exit toll lane.

Culture+Empowerment Stimulates New Vitality of Tourism Consumption

During the Qingming holiday, hiking, flower viewing and traditional cultural theme activities have all become new hot spots of tourism consumption.

During the Qingming holiday, red tourism is booming everywhere, with short-distance tours and go on road trip as the main trends. Small cities with regional airports have become emerging tourist destinations, and various new scenes and new ways of playing have driven the comprehensive consumption growth of hotels, restaurants and so on.

During the Qingming holiday, in Hunan, a number of traditional non-legacy opera cultural programs such as Changde Sixian and Changde Hanju were staged on the stage of Yuanyang Zoumalou, which attracted many citizens and tourists.

In Jiangxi, tourists go into tea gardens to learn the techniques and processes of tea picking, and start a journey of searching for tea. In Henan, night tours such as underwater peony mermaid show have attracted many tourists. In Qinghai, based on the unique apricot blossom landscape on the plateau, a series of activities such as national song and dance performances were held. In Jiangsu, the "Legend of the Yangtze River" cruise ship was launched for the first time, and tourists walked along the river to enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides. According to statistics, on the first day of the Qingming holiday, 634 A-level tourist attractions and 195 key rural tourist villages above the provincial level in Jiangsu Province received a total of 5.1455 million tourists, and the total consumption of tourists reached 2.014 billion yuan. In Hubei, more than 600 A-level scenic spots under key monitoring received 1,792,800 tourists, an increase of 18.16% over the same period last year.

Travel monitoring shows that there are many highlights in flower viewing and outing tourism.

During the Qingming holiday, we went to a flower viewing appointment, and the tourism consumption led by flowers also released new vitality. According to the big data platform of china tourism academy Wenlv, the search volume of "flower viewing" ranks first, and the bookings of major flower viewing bases and scenic spots are also growing rapidly. According to the latest travel monitoring in china tourism academy, this spring, there are many bright spots in the domestic flower-viewing tour.

Boil the taste of spring into the hot pot. In Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan and other places, the newly launched Huatian hot pot this year staged a table-grabbing battle over the weekend.

Soak the taste of spring in tea soup and coffee. In Jiangxi, Hunan, Zhejiang and other places, cooking tea around the flower field and coffee in the flower field with the fragrance of rape flowers all bring visitors novel experiences.

In addition, the beautiful scenery of spring can also be fixed in the frame. In Xidi Ancient Village, a world cultural heritage in yi county, Anhui Province, the rape blossoms and peach blossoms in the mountains and plains usher in the best viewing period. In the picture frames of sketch lovers, streams, ancient villages, houses and flowers form a special spring day limit here.

Spring vitality is also reflected in the wheels. In Chenggu and Yangxian in Hanzhong, Shaanxi, Xinjin in Chengdu, Mianyang Yanting in Sichuan, Pukou in Nanjing, Jiangsu and other places, a cycling team is ushered in on the urban greenway step by step, full of vitality interweaving through the mountains and waters full of spring.

"The national wind flowers."Hanfu rental business with high heat and fire

During this Qingming holiday, "enjoying flowers in the national style" has become a new topic on the consumption platform. At this time, more people put on Hanfu, walked beside the ancient buildings such as city walls, and took a set of "flower season limited" flower viewing photos. Since March, the number of notes on the topic of "National Wind Appreciating Flowers" has increased by more than four times.

The top five destinations for "national wind flower viewing" are to see magnolia in Faxi Temple, Wuxi Yuantouzhu, Guangzhou Guangxiao Temple, Guangfulin Cultural Site in Shanghai and Tiefo Temple in Huzhou, Zhejiang. "Flower viewing in the national style" has also brought fire to Hanfu rental business. On the life service platform, the search volume of popular words such as "Hanfu makeup", "Hanfu photo" and "Hanfu rental" has increased by more than twice.

Is there really moisture in the export data? Macro of investment promotion: the export growth rate in the whole year is likely to be positive, and the export growth rate will show a trend of "first de

  Text | China Merchants Macro Zhang Jingjing Team


  Core view


  Under the trend of global economic slowdown, China’s exports exceeded market expectations for two consecutive months, and the market gradually questioned the authenticity of export data. Does the export growth rate exceed expectations mean that the export data is really wet? In other words, is there really no micro-foundation for the export data in March and April? This paper attempts to answer the above questions from multiple angles and state a more objective export view on the basis of multi-dimensional analysis..


  The main reason for the high growth rate in March and April is by no means from false reports.Judging from the export "counterfeiting" incident announced in previous years, even excluding the conventional false data, the cumulative export amount from January to April this year was as high as more than 7630 billion yuan, and the cumulative export growth rate was about 10%, which was only 0.5 percentage points lower than the cumulative export growth rate announced by the General Administration of Customs.


  Compared with industrial export delivery value, the export volume is more representative of the real export. In March and April this year, the growth rate of export delivery value and the total export volume showed a big deviation, but this is not evidence of false export data.1) The definitions of export delivery value and total export are quite different; 2) From a long period of time, the growth rate of export delivery value and the growth rate of total exports are similar, but for a short period of time, it is not uncommon for them to deviate from each other. In many months, the growth rate of total exports is higher than that of export delivery value. 3) Compared with export delivery value, the monthly growth rate of export volume has obviously changed, which is mainly caused by the statistical method of export volume. 4) It can also be seen from the export sub-items and PMI indicators that the export in March and April did not mainly depend on the industrial enterprises on the regulations.


  Does the deviation of import and export growth rate beyond market expectations mean that the authenticity of export data is suspicious?The main commodity structure of China’s import and export is quite different. In the case of PPI price disturbance, the growth rate of import and export often deviates, not only in March and April. Not only is there a divergence in the growth rate of imports and exports in China, but the growth rates of the United States, Japan, the European Union and South Korea, as the main final consumer goods countries, often deviate, and more often, the growth rate of imports is greater than that of exports, which is mutually evidenced by China’s role as a big producer.


  The difference between the data published by the importing country and the data published by the importing country may be more due to statistical standards, re-export trade of some products and other factors than false reporting.1) China’s exports to Singapore and Vietnam are obviously larger than the imports from China announced by the other side, which is mainly due to the existence of entrepot trade. 2) The amount of imports from China announced by the United States and the European Union is also different from the amount of trade exported to the United States and the European Union by China. In addition to the conventional factors such as differences in statistical standards, time differences and entrepot trade, China is also a big country of final consumer goods. In recent years,’s exports to the United States-the United States imports from China and China exports to the European Union-the European Union imports from China are not the same. The possible reasons are as follows: First, American importers deliberately understate their imports from China to avoid import tariff sanctions. Compared with 2016 and 2017, the difference between China’s exports to the United States and the United States imports from China since 2018 is obvious. Second, compared with other countries, the energy crisis in Europe is more serious in 2022, and the freight for the import and export of goods is obviously higher, which directly causes the EU’s import from China-China’s export to the EU to jump sharply, and other trade exchanges such as South Korea and Europe have the same trend.


  The reason why export performance exceeds market expectations is more the result of diversification of export commodity structure and export destination.1) The high growth rate of export in March was mainly the comprehensive result of the release of the backlog of export orders in the previous period and the effective purchase of orders abroad. In April, export delivery value jumped from-5.4% of the previous value to 0.7%, and exports were more contributed by the shipment value produced in the current period. 2) The structure of China’s main export commodities has obviously gradually moved closer to that before the epidemic, and the advantage of complete industrial chain can indeed enable enterprises to switch commodity structures to adapt to global demand in a relatively short period of time. Compared with that before the epidemic, the contribution of automobiles (including chassis) and auto parts to the total export volume has been on the rise, which has also become the main commodity driving export growth. 3) Thanks to China’s active participation in regional trade, expansion of trade network and continuous deepening of economic and trade cooperation with non-European and American countries, the "Belt and Road", ASEAN, Russia and other non-European and American countries have significantly increased the driving force for China’s export growth.


  We believe that the shift in export growth does not mean that the export growth rate will continue to decline this year.Judging from the PMI index published in China and the export base last year, we believe that the export growth rate will change gears continuously from May to July. However, there is a high probability that the annual export growth rate will still be positive, and the export growth rate from May to December will show a trend of "falling first and then rising".


  main body


  One,In the past, there were indeed false reports on export data, but the main reason for the high growth rate in March and April was by no means false reports.


  Just talking about the authenticity of the data, the State Administration of Taxation will announce the punishment of false reporting of export data and tax fraud every year, which shows that there is indeed the possibility of false reporting of export data, but it is untenable to classify the reasons for exceeding expectations in March and April as false reporting.The false export data is more for tax fraud. Since August 2018, the State Administration of Taxation, together with the Ministry of Public Security, the General Administration of Customs, the People’s Bank of China and other departments, has continued to carry out regular work to crack down on tax fraud. In the context of cracking down on export false reports, there are still criminals who falsely report export data through various means. Since the government has not published the amount of tax recovery from export tax fraud in a specific period of time in detail, we might as well calculate from the export "counterfeiting" incident announced in previous years. In April 2022, the State Taxation Bureau announced that since the special action to crack down on illegal tax fraud was launched in August 2018, by the end of March 2022, the tax authorities had recovered 34.6 billion yuan of national tax losses by investigating and dealing with illegal export tax fraud. According to this rough calculation, about 10 billion yuan of export tax rebates were recovered every year. In addition, the proportion of export tax rebate in total exports is basically maintained in the range of 8%-10%. Based on this, the accumulated amount of export false reports in January-April this year is about 34 billion-42.5 billion.Even excluding the conventional false data, the cumulative export amount from January to April this year was as high as more than 7.63 trillion yuan, and the cumulative export growth rate was about 10%, which was only 0.5 percentage points lower than the cumulative export growth rate announced by the General Administration of Customs.


  In addition, at present, there are mainly two ways to falsely report exports: first, the government actively injects water to falsely report; second, enterprises forge export orders to defraud taxes; third, enterprises set up offshore companies or blend trading partners to defraud taxes through the continuous link of "exporting to domestic sales". We speculate that there are four reasons why the probability of large-scale false reporting of export data in March and April is small:


  1) In March this year, the cumulative amount of export tax rebate announced by the Ministry of Finance was 553.1 billion yuan, which was significantly higher than last year’s 497.1 billion yuan. It is worth noting that the Notice of the State Council on Issues Related to Improving the Burden Mechanism of Export Tax Refund shows that since January 1, 2015, all export tax rebates (including VAT refund for export goods and VAT refund for business tax) will be borne by the central government, and the export tax rebate base originally borne by local governments in 2014 will be paid to the central government in a fixed amount. If local customs or governments cheat taxes by falsely reporting export data, they need to forge bills in multiple links. Unless the central government is willing to subsidize local governments in disguise in this way, it is difficult to escape the examination.


  2) As mentioned earlier, even in the stricter export "counterfeiting" supervision, some enterprises still cheat tax refund by forging export orders, but there is no reason for enterprises to choose to focus on a large number of false reports in March and April, especially at present, they are in the downward period of exports, and the false reports of export orders of micro-enterprises are more likely to be suspected.


  3) Under the background that the full invoice pilot is gradually launched and the fourth phase of golden tax is about to be launched, the tax collection and management system has gradually changed from "managing tax by votes" to "managing tax by numbers", that is, relying on big data for tax governance. Under stricter supervision, the difficulty of export tax fraud has greatly increased.


  4) In addition to falsifying data, another common tax fraud method at this stage is "export to domestic sales", that is, setting up offshore companies or blending trading partners, exporting A goods abroad at a high price, and then importing A goods into China at a low price, thus earning the difference between export tax rebate and customs duties. Generally speaking, this method is not easy for micro enterprises to find, but from the breakdown data of commodities, we can see that among the main commodity structures of import and export, only the import prices of integrated circuits and refined oil in April are significantly lower than the export prices, and because the growth rate of import and export of integrated circuits is less than zero, even if there is tax fraud, it cannot be the main driving force for the overall export growth rate to exceed expectations. The difference between the import and export prices of refined oil products is mainly due to the downward trend of crude oil prices, which is far from the export tax fraud. Except for integrated circuits and refined oil products, the export prices of other commodities are often lower than the import prices, so the argument that a large number of export growth rates are pushed up by "exporting to domestic sales" is not established.

  Second,Compared with industrial export delivery value, the export value is more representative of real export.


  When observing exports, the market tends to pay more attention to two indicators: export delivery value and total exports. In March and April this year, the export growth rate of these two indicators showed a big deviation, and we don’t think this can be used as evidence to suspect that the export data is false.


  1) The definitions of export delivery value and total exports are different.Specifically: First, the reporting period is different. export delivery value is the value of products produced in this period, handed over to foreign trade management departments or self-export in this period, while the total export value is the total value of products exported in this period, not necessarily produced in this period; Second, the statistical scope is different. export delivery value is a product (both local and foreign) produced by industrial enterprises and handed over to foreign trade management departments. The total export value is the value of products exported by all foreign trade management units and industrial enterprises. It is worth noting that some products included in export delivery value may be sold at home after being traded by foreign trade management departments, thus not being exported; Third, the calculation method is different. export delivery value only calculates the processing fee for the products processed with imported materials, while the total export amount is calculated at the full price of the exported products. Fourth, the prices are different. The products handed over to the foreign trade management department in export delivery value are calculated according to the purchase price of the foreign trade management department, and the total export amount is calculated according to the FOB price.


  2) From a long period of time, the growth rate of export delivery value and the growth rate of total exports are similar, but in a short period of time, it is not uncommon for them to deviate from each other. In many months, the growth rate of total exports is higher than that of export delivery value.Compared with the total export volume, export delivery value’s statistical scope is smaller and it doesn’t necessarily include the completed export. Therefore, in academic research, the indicator of export delivery value is often used to examine whether the micro participates in the export, and the specific transaction behavior to measure the overall export still uses the export volume.


  3) Compared with export delivery value, the monthly growth rate of export volume has obviously changed, which is mainly caused by the statistical method of export volume.The statistical process of import and export data of customs goods is extremely "microscopic". When the import and export goods pass through the customs, the specific consignor or consignee must declare the documents to the customs, and the customs declaration will list all kinds of basic information of the goods (such as quantity, amount, destination and other information). After obtaining these customs declarations, the customs will screen out the customs declaration data that meet the statistical conditions, and directly calculate other sub-items such as import and export data and commodity structure on this basis. In the whole process, the customs mainly plays the role of statistics, and does not need other data to calculate. In other words, the data on the customs declaration submitted by the customs will directly enter the customs database and become the basic data of the customs import and export accounting, which is also doomed to a large monthly fluctuation of export data.


  Is there any moisture in the export data?


  In addition, it can be seen from the export sub-items and PMI indicators that the exports in March and April did not mainly depend on the regulated industrial enterprises.According to the export data by enterprise type, compared with state-owned enterprises, collective enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises, the cumulative export of other types of enterprises (mainly private enterprises) rebounded significantly in March compared with the same period of last year. From the index of PMI new export orders, the increase of PMI new export orders of small enterprises was the most obvious in January and February, and once surpassed that of large enterprises in February. Small enterprises other than industrial enterprises are still an important force to drive exports. This can also explain to a certain extent that it is not surprising that export delivery value and the export volume deviated in March and April.

  Third,Does the deviation of import and export growth rate beyond market expectations mean that the authenticity of export data is suspicious?


  At present, China is still a major producer in the world, and the growth rates of imports and exports are synchronized in most of the time. However, because of the great differences in the structure of major commodities of imports and exports, in the case of PPI price disturbance, the growth rates of imports and exports often deviate, not only in March and April.When PPI is at a low level year-on-year, "price" has a great drag on the total import volume, and the export growth rate is often significantly higher than the import growth rate; On the contrary, when PPI is at a high level, "price" becomes the main pulling item of total imports, and the growth rate of imports is obviously higher than that of exports. At present, PPI is at a low point in the historical quantile, so it is natural that the export growth rate is greater than the import growth rate.


  In fact, it is not only our country that the growth rate of import and export deviates, but also the United States, Japan, the European Union and South Korea, which are the main final consumer goods countries, often deviate from each other. More often, the growth rate of imports is greater than that of exports, which is mutually evidenced by China’s role as a big producer.

  Fourth,The difference between the data published by the importing country and the data published by the importing country may be more due to statistical standards, re-export trade of some products and other factors than false reporting.


  Because we use the total amount of FOB goods for export statistics, and the total amount of FOB goods or CIF goods for import statistics for export destinations from China, there is a gap between the two, such as freight and other expenses. Generally speaking, the total amount of China’s exports to export destinations should be less than the total amount of China’s imports from export destinations, but this is not the case.


  China’s exports to Singapore and Vietnam are obviously larger than the imports from China announced by the other side, which is mainly due to the existence of entrepot trade.From the perspective of specific commodities, the difference between China and Singapore is mainly contributed by plastic products, clothing and its accessories, luggage and similar containers, furniture and its parts in labor-intensive products, household appliances, auto parts, lamps and general machinery and equipment in mechanical and electrical products, but this phenomenon does not exist in other commodities, especially high-tech commodities. The difference between China and Vietnam is mainly contributed by plastic products and textile yarns, fabrics and their products in labor-intensive products. In 2021, the total statistical difference between the two types of goods is 5.5 billion US dollars, accounting for 69% of the statistical difference of labor-intensive products in 2021.


  In addition, as important countries of final consumer goods, the amount of imports from China announced by the United States and the European Union is also different from the amount of trade exported to two countries or regions by China, which is mainly caused by many factors such as statistical standards, time differences, transportation costs and tariff sanctions.From the historical data, with the end of 2019 as the dividing point, since 2020, the difference between China’s exports to the United States and the United States’ imports from China has turned from negative to positive. From the perspective of commodities, it is mainly contributed by labor-intensive plastic products, furniture and its parts, clothing and its accessories, lamps and lighting devices and their parts in electromechanical commodities and household appliances. On the contrary, the difference between China’s exports to the EU and the EU’s imports from China has been in the normal fluctuation range of positive and negative for a long time, and this difference began to turn negative in 2022. From the perspective of specific commodities, the average export value of other commodities except furniture spare parts is smaller than the EU’s imports from China, and this gap has obviously increased since 2022.In addition to the conventional factors such as differences in statistical standards, time differences and entrepot trade, China is also a big country of final consumer goods. In recent years,’s exports to the United States-the United States imports from China and China exports to the European Union-the European Union imports from China are so different. The possible reasons are as follows: First, American importers deliberately understate their imports from China to avoid import tariff sanctions. Compared with 2016 and 2017, the difference between China’s exports to the United States-the United States imports from China has shrunk significantly since 2018. Second, compared with other countries, the energy crisis in Europe is more serious in 2022, and the freight for the import and export of goods is obviously higher, which directly causes the EU’s import from China-China’s export to the EU to jump sharply. This phenomenon not only occurs in China-EU trade, but also exists in other trade exchanges such as South Korea and Europe.


  Is there any moisture in the export data?


  Is there any moisture in the export data?


  Five,The reason why export performance exceeds market expectations is more the result of diversification of export commodity structure and export destination.


  As previously analyzed, false export report can’t be the main driving force for the high export growth rate in March and April, so what is the main reason why China’s export growth rate has exceeded expectations when the export growth rate of other countries such as South Korea and Vietnam has obviously declined? We think there are the following factors:


  1) The high export growth rate in March was mainly the comprehensive result of the release of the backlog of export orders in the previous period and the successive delivery of overseas orders.We provide two pieces of evidence: First, export delivery value in March (mainly counting the current period) was significantly narrower than that in December 2022, but the year-on-year growth rate was still negative, which indicated that the growth rate of export in March was the common result of the current and previous inventory squeeze; Second, after the liberalization of the epidemic prevention and control policy, many provinces began to organize groups to go abroad to grab orders, which directly led to a rapid increase in PMI new export orders in January and February 2023.Different from March, export delivery value jumped from-5.4% to 0.7% in April, and the export was more contributed by the shipment value produced in the current period.


  2) As we mentioned in previous reports, the supply advantage of China is largely due to the integrity of the industrial chain. The integrity of the industrial chain enables domestic export enterprises to better cope with the changes in the international trade situation than other countries. We have counted the data of major export commodities since 2017. Compared with before the epidemic, the contribution of plastic products, textile yarns, fabrics and their products, shoes and boots, ceramic products, toys, automatic data processing equipment and its parts, mobile phones, audio equipment and its parts, integrated circuits, medical instruments and instruments to the overall export volume increased greatly during the epidemic. On the contrary, the contribution of agricultural products, refined oil, luggage and similar containers, steel products, wrought aluminum and aluminum products, and general machinery and equipment to the overall export volume has been significantly reduced.According to the export data of the last four months, the structure of China’s main export commodities has obviously gradually moved closer to that before the epidemic, and the advantages of complete industrial chain can indeed enable enterprises to switch commodity structures to adapt to global demand in a short time. It is worth noting that compared with before the epidemic, the contribution of automobiles (including chassis) and auto parts to the total export volume has been on the rise, and it has become the main commodity driving the export growth rate.


  3) In addition to the changes in the structure of export commodities, China’s main export destinations are also more diversified.From the historical data, the manufacturing PMI in the euro zone and the manufacturing PMI in the United States are in line with the change trend of China’s export growth rate, which means that the decline of China’s export growth rate in 2023 still largely depends on the degree of economic recession in Europe and America.However, thanks to China’s active participation in regional trade, expansion of trade network and continuous deepening of economic and trade cooperation with non-European and American countries, the "Belt and Road", ASEAN and Russia have significantly increased the driving force for China’s export growth, among which ASEAN, Brazil, Russia, India, South Africa and Indonesia account for an increasing proportion of China’s total exports.As far as the export data in April is concerned, the contribution rates of Russia, ASEAN, South Africa and Brazil to the overall export growth rate are 2.14%, 0.73%, 0.28% and 0.17% respectively.


  Is there any moisture in the export data?


  Is there any moisture in the export data?


  Six,The fact that the export growth rate will shift does not mean that the export growth rate will continue to decline this year.


  We are in "Do you need to shift gears for export growth? It is mentioned in the article that from May to July, the export growth rate will be continuously shifted, but this does not mean that the export growth rate will continue to decline this year.From the indicators published in China, the PMI value of new export orders dropped in April, but this will not immediately lead to a sharp drop in exports in May. According to historical data, PMI new export orders are often about 2-3 months ahead of exports, so the real pressure of export growth is mainly concentrated in June and July. However, due to the high export base in May last year, we believe that the export growth rate in May will be lower than that in April.


  Although compared with last year, the overall export growth rate in the whole year has been set to a downward trend, there is a high probability that the export growth rate in the whole year will still be positive. From May to December, the export growth rate showed a trend of "falling first and then rising".The absolute change of export value and the marginal change of export growth rate cannot escape three key factors: supply, demand and comparative advantage. In 2023, China’s supply advantage still exists, and the latest data released shows that the export share advantage is still better than before the epidemic. The main uncertainty that determines the specific growth rate of exports comes from the overseas demand side. At present, in the context of the global economic slowdown, China’s export commodities and export destinations have good highlights. Although the driving force of American exports to China does show a decreasing trend, the contribution of countries other than the United States to China’s exports should not be underestimated.


  Risk warning:


  The overseas economic recession has exceeded expectations.

Hold the first pass to prohibit minors from tattooing

  The procurator of the Procuratorate of Changyi City, Shandong Province came to the business premises with tattoo service in the jurisdiction to issue the warning sign "No tattoos for minors". Our reporter Lu Jinzeng correspondent Wang Shushe photo

  The prosecutor of Shaoxing City Procuratorate in Zhejiang Province visited the tattoo shop. Our correspondent Shao Zhijia took a photo.

  "The day before yesterday, a customer added me to WeChat and said that he wanted to get a tattoo in the store. I saw that his circle of friends found that he was a minor, and he clearly told him that he could not get a tattoo because minors were not allowed to get tattoos." Recently, the owner of a tattoo shop in Shuyang County, Jiangsu Province showed his WeChat chat record with customers to the staff of Shuyang County Market Supervision Administration who came to check.

  In front of a tattoo shop that hasn’t opened yet, the staff stopped and contacted the owner anonymously through the contact information on the glass door. "Do you want a tattoo?" Are you a minor? Add me to WeChat, I need to check … …”

  At 10: 50, the shop opened, and the owner pointed to the slogan "No Minors allowed" posted on the glass door, indicating that tattoos of minors were not accepted in the shop. When the customer was not sure whether he was a minor, he would ask the other party to show his ID card or check the other party’s electronic identity.

  "I know what you said about the" Measures for the Management of Minors’ Tattoos ".We don’t give tattoos to minors." The staff went into a shop that had just registered for tattoo service in June this year, and saw that its business license stated "tattoo service (except for minors)". The owner said that no minors came to tattoo.

  The staff of the Market Supervision Administration told the reporter that at present, there are 51 businesses in the county that can provide tattoo services, all of which have posted the sign of "No Entry for Minors" and will also issue risk warning letters to customers who come to tattoo.

  The reporter interviewed the staff of Shuyang County Health and Wellness Bureau and learned that in the special inspection carried out this year, the phenomenon that merchants illegally cleaned tattoos for minors was not found again.

  "Recently, the number of minors involved in the case that we came into contact with in conducting social investigations and helping and educating activities has decreased significantly, and even if there is one, it is the previous article." The teacher of the local "Golden Flower" Minors Judicial Social Service Center said.

  Shuyang is the first civil public interest litigation case of minor tattoo in China. With the unremitting efforts of the local procuratorate, the local people’s congress issued a resolution prohibiting tattoo for minors.

  In June this year, the Office of the Leading Group for the Protection of Minors in the State Council issued the Measures for the Management of Minors’ Tattoos (hereinafter referred to as the Measures), clarifying that no enterprise, organization or individual may provide tattoo services to minors. On the second day after the "Measures" were issued, the Xinghualing District Court of Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province sentenced a civil public interest litigation case for the protection of minors, which was the first civil public interest litigation case for minor tattoos in Shanxi Province.

  In the same month, the Procuratorate of Fengfeng Mining Area in Handan City, Hebei Province visited and investigated more than 20 tattoo shops within its jurisdiction. During the investigation, the prosecutor found that most tattoo shops refused to provide tattoo services for minors, but some shops not only refused, but also advertised "half price for students" and "20% discount for students" to recommend complex tattoo projects to minors, and promised to clean them painlessly without leaving scars.

  On June 28th, Fengfeng Mining Area Procuratorate launched an investigation. At the same time, it consulted with Market Supervision Administration and Sub-district Office on the rectification measures to strengthen the supervision of tattoo industry and put an end to tattoos for minors, and urged them to perform their duties.

  In Luquan District, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, the procuratorate also conducted a visit investigation with the public security organs.

  "The law does not stipulate the age of tattoos, but tattoos of minors need to be considered clearly so as not to affect their studies and work. Our shop only discourages, please think twice before you do. " This tip was posted on the inner wall of a tattoo shop in Luquan District. Investigators asked the owner if he knew the Measures. "This was posted a long time ago. Some people don’t know their age, so they don’t cooperate with their ID cards. I don’t know if we can’t give tattoos to minors." Investigators found that there was a minor in the store’s register. In this regard, the owner explained that the customer only registered and did not actually get a tattoo.

  Faced with such a situation, the prosecutor of Luquan District Procuratorate explained the specific contents of the Measures to the shopkeeper and distributed brochures to him. The shopkeeper posted the slogan "No tattoos for minors" on the spot. On August 24, the hospital sent a letter to the Market Supervision Administration, suggesting that it regulate the operation of tattoo industry according to law.

  "Our investigation found that there are still some tattoo shops that don’t ask customers’ ages, or just ask verbally and don’t verify the registration. For minors who arrive at the store, they ‘ Turn a blind eye ’ 。” When interviewed by reporters, Han Yilu, assistant procurator of Haibowan District Procuratorate in Wuhai City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, was quite helpless. She said that the publicity and implementation of the Measures need to be further strengthened, and the supervision and governance of the tattoo industry should also be deepened. "On the one hand, we stepped up the popularization of law and asked tattoo shops to post ‘ It is forbidden for minors to get tattoos ’ On the other hand, the logo is also strengthening communication and cooperation with the Market Supervision Administration, the Health and Health Commission, the Education Bureau and other departments, strengthening source prevention and control, promoting social coordination, and promoting the establishment and improvement of long-term mechanisms. " Han Yizhen added.

  It is the common responsibility of the whole society to prohibit tattoo of minors. The Party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress proposed to improve the social governance system, improve the social governance system of co-construction, co-governance and sharing, and enhance the efficiency of social governance. Smooth and standardize the channels for the expression of people’s demands, the coordination of interests and the protection of rights and interests, and build a social governance community that everyone is responsible, everyone is responsible, and everyone enjoys it.

  In the interview, the reporter found that the good situation of everyone doing their duty to promote the tattoo management of minors is gradually taking shape.

  "Boss, how much is the tattoo?"

  "Please report your ID number, and now you are required to register."

  "Boss, you here how so trouble. My ID number is … …”

  "Hey, you are not an adult, you can’t do it."

  "My classmate used to do it here. Why can’t he do it now?"

  "I used to do it for children because I didn’t understand it, but now I can’t. You don’t want tattoos at a young age, wait until you are an adult and think about it. "

  Shengzhou City, Zhejiang Province takes the lead in developing tattoo management for minors.

  15-year-old Jamlom (not his real name) wants to give himself a birthday present — — Tattoos When he came to the tattoo shop, he was told by the owner that minors could not get tattoos.

  "Some children are developing fast, and they can’t see their age only from their height and appearance. We will ask for registration now. For customers who consult online, they will also ask for the ID number to determine whether they are minors. " According to the owner, this year, the awareness of the tattoo shop in Shengzhou City to check customer identity information has been strengthened. "In the past, if you insisted on registering personal information such as customer ID numbers, people would be ignorant. Now this is the case in every store, and customers can accept it."

  "The business behavior of tattoo shops has been further standardized, effectively cutting off the channels for minors in the jurisdiction to contact tattoos." Prosecutor of Shengzhou City Procuratorate introduced.

Focus on the transformation of "three-oriented" classrooms —— Jilin University held the second meeting of the Career Planning Committee in 2020

At the meeting, Wang Guoqiang, director of the Academic Affairs Office, introduced the work of the working group on the transformation of the "three-oriented" classrooms in the school and the formation of the proposed scheme. Xu Hao, deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office, made a report on "New Teaching Infrastructure: Reconstructing Teaching Space and Promoting Education Reform"; Huang He, director of the Asset Management and Logistics Department, made a report on the renovation plan of the school teaching building. Leaders, experts and representatives of teachers and students attending the meeting conducted extensive and in-depth discussions and exchanges around the renovation project plan and conference report, and expressed opinions and suggestions on the renovation and upgrading of school teaching facilities and other related work.

Jiang Zhiying, secretary of the Party Committee of the school, pointed out in his speech that the "three-oriented" classroom reconstruction project is an important part of the school education and teaching reform and campus information construction. Relevant functional departments should conduct in-depth research and listen to the opinions and suggestions of teachers and students, and gradually improve the renovation project plan, so as to combine the long-term and phased construction steps, the universality and particularity of teaching needs, and realize the combination of basic and forward-looking goals. It is necessary to support practical teaching environment and related facilities management programs, and constantly improve management ability and level. Related infrastructure construction and soft environment improvement projects involving urgent demands of people’s livelihood should be implemented as a whole and actively create a good environment for school education and teaching.

In his speech, President Zhang Xi pointed out that it is the task and requirement to accelerate the construction of "Double First-class" to promote the deep integration of information technology and education and teaching, to promote the new mode of talent training under the condition of "internet plus", to promote information-based practical teaching and to make full use of modern information technology to realize the open sharing of high-quality teaching resources. Improving the conditions of education and teaching and building an integrated and intelligent teaching management and service platform are the guarantee for optimizing the talent training system and improving the quality of education and teaching. Strengthening and accelerating the transformation project of "three-oriented" classrooms in schools is not only a guarantee project for education and teaching reform, but also a necessary choice to meet students’ needs for knowledge learning and ability training under the new situation. Zhang Xi put forward three suggestions on promoting the renovation project of "three-oriented" classrooms: first, the renovation project should be matched with the reform of teaching content, teaching methods and curriculum system, and pay attention to introducing cultural elements of Jilin University; Second, the renovation project should be implemented step by step in a planned way, starting with the classrooms with poor conditions that cannot meet the teaching needs, and gradually advancing to avoid repeated construction; Third, it is necessary to raise funds needed for the transformation in various ways, not only to increase revenue but also to reduce expenditure. The renovation project should ensure environmental protection, green and safety.

T8 Evaluation of Mito with Front Black Technology Dual Pixel Lens

    [Zhongguancun Online] Meitu Evaluation: I have actually been in contact with it, which I believe many readers are very surprised. The first time I saw the brand Meitu, I met a female classmate. She attracted me with a mobile phone with a different shape in her hand. After chatting, I learned that she wanted to pursue something different when she was in college, looking for a mobile phone with a different shape at this stage. I just saw the brand Meitu, which was amazing in shape and self-portrait, so I bought it.

    I feel very suitable for girls after trying it out, especially the self-timer function, which is very popular with girls. So that after that, whenever a girl who likes to take selfies asks the author to recommend a mobile phone brand, the author will recommend Meitu. Below, the author will introduce Meitu’s newly released mobile phone photo "black technology" to readers, but before that, let everyone know the basic situation of the mobile phone.

    The protagonist of this time is Meitu mobile phone. Meitu held the "Meitu selfie ceremony" in Beijing Water Cube on February 21st, and released heavy new products: the standard version of Meitu camera mobile phone and the special version of Meitu Phantom Black designed by Angelababy. This time, the author got the standard version. Let’s take a look.

Meitu mobile phone

    The standard version of Meitu mobile phone is equipped with 128GB storage capacity (at present, there is only one storage version officially). For a girl who especially likes taking pictures, there is no need to worry that the mobile phone can’t hold selfie photos and videos. Female students before the author usually store their favorite idol videos in their mobile phones, which has a very large capacity and has to delete selfie photos because of the lack of mobile phone capacity. Meitu mobile phone is not stingy in storage, allowing users to take pictures and store with confidence.

   Before starting the evaluation, the author still wants to tell you about the packaging of this mobile phone. As you can see, this mobile phone is packaged in a exclusive gift box, which is equipped with a Meitu smart phone, a power adapter, a Type-C data cable, a card-taking pin, a transparent protective case, a high-transparency screen film, and a three-guarantee certificate.

Meitu exquisite packaging

    In terms of configuration, it is unambiguous. It has a Samsung AMOLED display screen with a resolution of 1920X1080, the processor model is MTK6797, it has 10 cores with the highest frequency of 2.3GHz, and it uses Mali 880 graphics chip. The system is a MEIOS 3.5 system optimized based on Android 6.0, with 4GB RAM in memory and 3580mAh in battery capacity.

    The configuration of the camera part can be described as luxury. It has a front camera with a 12-megapixel DualPD, next to the hidden third-generation soft light, and the front dual-pixel lens model is Sony IMX362. The rear camera is 21 million pixels, has AF technology, supports dual color temperature flash, and the rear camera model is Sony IMX338. The image processing chip is a professional image processing chip of Suoxi Milbeaut. In terms of color, it has: rose gold, magic orange, dazzling blue, gem gray and phantom black. The official price is 3299 yuan.

    Next, let’s take a look at the appearance of this phone.

    The front has a size of 5.2 inches. I think this size is the "golden ratio" of one-handed operation and has a good fit for the palm. The upper and lower parts of T8 mobile phone adopt a design similar to "triangle", which inherits Mito gene. However, compared with the sharp "forehead" and "lower bar" M6 and V4 designs before, the upper and lower parts of T8 are obviously much rounder and smoother. The four corners of Meitu T8 mobile phone are also designed by arc processing, which makes the overall design style of the mobile phone tend to be unified.

Meitu mobile phone T8 holds the front.

    There is an arc-shaped earpiece at the top of the screen. The most conspicuous part at the top is the 12-megapixel DualPD front camera, and there is an invisible front flash on the right side, which can’t be seen at all when it is not turned on. This hidden design still plays an integrated role in the beauty of the mobile phone, and it doesn’t seem very abrupt (as for the ability of the front camera to take pictures, the author will talk about it later).

 Meitu T8 mobile phone bottom

   Meitu T8 mobile phone uses a round home button at the bottom of the screen, using ceramic technology, designed for physical pressing, and the official introduction is more sensitive. The author feels good when touching, and at the same time has a certain sense of damping, and feels smooth.

    The left side of the fuselage is also very simple, with only one volume control key. After careful use, the author found that the seam of the key is very small, and there is no shaking phenomenon after repeated pressing. The key of the whole machine is rigorous in workmanship. On the right is the power/screen lock button, which has strong damping feeling and good hand feeling, and the feedback is moderate when pressed.

Meitu mobile phone T8 bottom

    The bottom of Meitu T8 mobile phone adopts the common USB Type-C interface, which supports 9V/2A fast charging. On both sides of the USB Type-C interface, the 3.5mm headphone jack is measured on the left, and the speaker is opened on the right. This should be praised by Meitu. Why do I say this? Because this phone also has built-in HiFi function and is equipped with AK4961 chip, it is impossible for this high-specification decoding chip to be integrated into a headset with a Type-C interface alone, and it can only be built into the phone due to the volume factor, so that a separate decoding chip can really bring a good sense of hearing and better compatibility with ordinary headphones.

Meitu mobile phone T8 holds the back.

    The quality of Mito T8 mobile phone camera is also very high. The rear camera uses 21 million pixels, supports AF focusing, uses IMX362 sensor, and has its own different styles in image imaging, which is explained in detail in the photo section. The lower part is a dual color temperature flash. Below is mito logo. I feel comfortable with the grip of the back shell. I can see that the back of the mobile phone is designed with an arc-shaped matte texture, which perfectly fits the tiger’s mouth position and further enhances the hand feel. Meitu T8 mobile phone frame processing technology is high-gloss chamfering, which looks like waltz-like elegant lines from the side and feels as delicate as satin.

    The internal system of Mito T8 mobile phone with bright colors and beautiful appearance has also been carefully polished. Let’s take a look at the mobile phone system, which is also very amazing.

    It also adopts a brand-new UI interface, and the icons are similar to the overall appearance of the mobile phone, so that the style is consistent from the software interface to the appearance. MEIOS3.5 is an operating system based on Android 6.0, which has greatly improved the fluency compared with 5.1. In order to be more simple and practical, MEIOS3.5 adds hundreds of functions, such as caring backup housekeeper, finding mobile phones safely, and intelligent private desktop finishing.

    Meitu T8 mobile phone adopts Android 6.0 and supports OTA upgrade. When I first received the mobile phone, the system version was 3.5.1. After a few days of trial use, it has been updated to 3.5.3, and the version has been updated rapidly.

    In fact, the biggest feeling of the author after actually experiencing this mobile phone is that fingerprint identification protects the information inside the mobile phone, and his private application and private photo album can be absolutely "personalized", so that no one can crack it and enhance the security of important information.

    Nowadays, most friends will listen to music on their mobile phones. This Mito T8 mobile phone is actually superior in music performance, especially the HiFi function, which has the latest AK4961 chip built in, as well as the Grammy Award winner and world-class sound processing expert Waves sound effect and KTV function. The technology used in this regard is real-time deaf response.

    This function is that when you sing into the microphone, the sound can be transmitted to the headphones synchronously and you can hear your own voice at any time. In this way, the singer can adjust his voice at any time and improve his singing skills. I don’t have a chance to take part in a singing contest, and I don’t have time to go to KTV, so I’m not afraid. I can sing by myself when I open Meitu T8, and I can also play with my friend PK.

    Having said that, the author still uses the built-in mobile phone to evaluate the sound quality, and probably looks at the strength of this top audio chip on the mobile terminal. The author uses 1More’s dual-unit flat plug for audition, and feels that the whole is popular. In the low frequency part, it performed well, and there was no "rumbling" sound. The whole dive was abundant, and it kept its strength in the amount. The intermediate frequency is relatively moist in human voice and the thickness is appropriate; High frequency is relatively transparent.

    After briefly talking about the auditory experience, the author will give you a detailed description of the photo experience in the next article. Let’s take a look. 

    The main thing is self-portrait. After looking for the actual experience of my friends here, I found that this mobile phone really achieves a very high level in self-portrait, and it is worthy of being a self-portrait mobile phone coffee. Of course, the author will not show up here, or give it to a beautiful colleague. Don’t worry before, let’s introduce this front camera first.

Meitu T8 mobile phone has rich settings in photo and video shooting.

    This mito T8 uses the front dual-pixel self-timer lens for the first time. Let’s explain what dual-pixel is, which is a technology created on SLR. In the traditional single pixel, there is only one photodiode in each pixel, while in the brand-new dual pixel, there are two photodiodes in each pixel, which is equivalent to upgrading each pixel from one eye to two eyes. The focus is more accurate and the imaging is more delicate. In the lens selection, IMX362M is also used, with a unit pixel size of F1.8 microns. At night, the maximum speed of focusing is 95%, the shutter speed is 25.11%, and it has a 6P lens.

Official analysis of the front dual-pixel self-timer lens

    Meitu T8 mobile phone uses the front full-pixel PDAF millisecond focusing for the first time. The full-pixel PDAF focusing system can quickly focus and present a stable high-quality selfie even when walking or the ambient light suddenly darkens. In use, it is also found that the face can be locked in real time, and OIS optical image stabilization makes the selfie effect even better.

Beauty can be achieved from different angles.

    The author thinks that these hardware algorithms are enough, but Meitu further uses AI technology, that is, artificial intelligence. In MTsegmentation picture recognition technology, it can recognize more widely and carefully.

    The rear camera can also bring a very good imaging effect. When I look at the official website parameters, I see that the rear camera uses 21 million pixels, supports AF focusing, and uses a dual color temperature flash. Needless to say, let’s take a look at a set of proofs.

 Editor’s comment:

    Beijing has finally cleared up these days, and the blue sky and white clouds in the picture allow the author to finally walk around with Meitu T8 mobile phone. The sky is also very clear at night, and there is no foggy feeling. From the picture, we can see that the mobile phone has clear imaging at night, excellent light control and good noise control. As can be seen in the indoor scenery photo sample, the color is light, but it is still very accurate in color reproduction, and the texture of white plant flowers can also be clearly displayed (shooting mode is Super Pixel), with fine picture quality.

    Using MT6797 ten-core processor, it is also equipped with 4GB of running memory. Whether playing large games or running multiple apps at the same time, it is still smooth. From the point of view of system use, this phone has been updated to MEIOS 3.5.3, and the update speed is very fast. What is the performance? Let’s talk about it by running points.

    Here, the author selects three commonly used running scores for reference. The softwares are Evaluation (version: 6.3.3), geekbench (version: 4.0.4) and 3D Mark.

They are Ann Bunny, GeekBench 4 and 3D Mark.

    It can be seen from the running score that the performance of the mobile phone is above average, and there is absolutely no problem in dealing with daily applications. Even playing a slightly larger game can run smoothly during use.

    The actual experience of the game is also very important, and the author uses the actual manipulation of the game to test it. In the selection of the game, the quality of the game, the richness of the actual picture and the quality of the map are comprehensively considered, and finally the game "Yin Yang Shi" is selected. "Yin Yang Shi" can choose the image quality, and choose the fine image quality mode when testing this game.

    From the above demo, we can see that the picture quality can bring a very smooth experience even when it is in a medium setting. From the picture, we can see that even in the environment with a large number of people on the same screen, the characters have no problem in fluency, and they can see detailed textures.

    Standard 9V/2A charging head supports fast charging, and the battery capacity is 3580mAh. After the battery is consumed, the author charges it from 1% to 100%, records the percentage in units of 10 minutes, and makes the charging amount/time curve.

T8 mobile phone comes standard with 9V/2A charging head.

    Meitu only published the fast charging parameters on the official website. Although the published information is very simple, I was really taken aback in the actual test. I don’t know what "black technology" Meitu T8 mobile phone used, which refreshed the author’s understanding of the fast charging time of the mobile phone. It only takes 85 minutes to fully charge 3580mAh, which is very amazing and I also feel the "rapid" efficiency brought by fast charging.

The 3580mAh mobile phone can be fully charged in 85 minutes.

    What’s the situation in actual use? The author uses a set of standards with common social, video, games and calls to test: when the power is 100%, we start the mobile phone, insert the SIM card to ensure the smooth signal, turn on WiFi and link the local area network, turn on the screen rotary switch, do not start the GPS and Bluetooth modules, modulate the screen brightness to test the medium brightness of the mobile phone [turn off the brightness level], and adjust the volume by one third. At the beginning of the test, I read Weibo for 30 minutes, an American drama [1080P 50 minutes], talked for 15 minutes, took 20 photos, played Yin and Yang Teacher for 15 minutes, listened to online music with the music client turned off for 6 minutes, and then played the 2D game ""for 15 minutes, and recorded the power consumption and final remaining power in each usage scenario.

    It can be seen from the battery life that in the process of playing games, Yin Yang Shi, which has both 3D and 2D images, does consume more power than the pure 2D game Everyday Love Elimination, but the overall power consumption of the two games is within an acceptable range, while for daily application testing, it consumes less power, which is related to the processor adopted and system optimization. Normal use for a day or two is not a problem.

Editor’s summary:

    Meitu T8 mobile phone has indeed achieved a high level of quality in the main self-timer mobile phone. No matter from the stunning design, to the display of many self-timer black technology functions, or the self-timer effect of mobile phone is better than that of the same price self-timer mobile phone in terms of scene recognition, face beautification, skin beauty level and other functions, it also allows the author to experience the beauty black technology once. Friends who like self-timer must not miss this Mito T8 mobile phone. It is recommended that friends who love beauty must try it in person, and I believe you will be satisfied.

        The above is a report on the evaluation of Meitu T8 products. For the follow-up contents of Meitu T8, such as appearance, screen, photos, battery life and performance, please continue to pay attention to Zhongguancun Online’s report on Meitu T8 evaluation.

Knowing that Car Emperor released "Intergenerational Car Purchase User Decision Insights", users’ sensitivity in choosing a car "brand" was enhanced.

  Recently, Know Car Emperor released the report "Insight into the Decision-making of Intergenerational Car Buyers from a Vertical Perspective", which comprehensively analyzes the behavioral preferences of intergenerational car buyers from four stages: starting car selection mode, generating car selection interest, precipitating car purchase intention and restoring decision-making characteristics, and interprets the new trend of intergenerational group consumption.

  "Report" pointed out that the market concentration characteristics of the automobile market are becoming more and more obvious, and the trend of sales volume gathering to the head brands is getting stronger, and "brand" has become an important keyword in the era of stock. The user’s "brand" sensitivity is gradually stronger and the willingness is significant, and the car buying behavior of young people is more influenced by brand and word of mouth factors.

   Car sales are gathering with the head brands, and the sensitivity of users to choose car brands is enhanced.

  In recent years, the automobile market in China has gradually moved from the incremental era to the stock era. At present, the head brand effect of automobile sales is remarkable. The proportion of automobile brand sales of TOP10 is increasing year by year, and it has occupied 61.2% of automobile sales in the market from January to July 2020. At the same time, the Report shows that in the first half of 2020, the brand retention share of TOP10 continued to increase, and the brand concentration of users’ retention continued to increase.

  In the stage of car selection, the user’s sensitivity to the brand is also increasing, and the traffic of users arriving at the brand list page is obviously increasing, which is higher than the overall growth performance of knowing the car emperor’s traffic in the same period. For young users, the attention to the brand is significant throughout all stages from car selection to decision-making.

  According to the Report, the brand sensitivity of users is enhanced during the attention period. After 90′ s, young users are more inclined to cut through the brand when choosing a car. The browsing significance of brand list pages of users aged 10-30 is over 100, while the older users are less inclined to cut through the brand. After the stage of generating interest and precipitation, young users in the decision-making period will be more sensitive to the brand.

  In addition, more and more users find the target model through conditional car selection. According to the Report, from January to July, 2020, the click trend of knowing the car emperor’s conditional car selection showed a fluctuating upward trend, in which the click trend in July increased by 67% compared with that in January, and the growth rate of all click events in the same period was 30.1%. When using conditions to choose a car to buy a car, young users after 90 are more inclined to price and brand, and the car selection conditions are more comprehensive. However, mature users tend to search for models and vehicle factions, and intergenerational people show obvious consumption tendencies.

   The influence of "word of mouth and circle" is enhanced, and the decision-making of young users is more influenced by content.

  In the stage of generating vehicle interest, the parameter configuration of vehicle models is more concerned, and the force of word-of-mouth public opinion and circle influence with social sharing attributes is gradually enhanced. In addition, the influence of car content on users’ car buying behavior is also rising.

  According to the "Report", the traffic share of the word-of-mouth list page of knowing the car emperor increased by 1.7% in July compared with the beginning of the year, and the browsing significance of the car department word-of-mouth of users under the age of 30 exceeded 100. The demand for "avoiding pits" caused by young users’ lack of experience was even more significant. TAs are not only looking at word-of-mouth, but also more willing to share. In the decision-making stage of retention, users who intend to stay in the post-80s and post-90s browse word-of-mouth content significantly. For post-80s users, word-of-mouth has a more significant effect on users with high intention.

  Platform social experience has also become the focus of young people. Knowing that Chedi Cheyou Circle is the "social" position of the car circle, young users after 90 pay more attention to Cheyou Circle. According to the Report, the page traffic share of car riders increased by 1.3% in July compared with the beginning of the year. Compared with middle-aged users, users under the age of 30 prefer to browse the content of car riders, and it is more significant to join the car riders when choosing a car.

  Consistent with the performance of word-of-mouth decision-making, users after 1980s and 1990s all showed the characteristics that the browsing significance of car friends circle became more and more obvious with the increase of retention intention. Mature users are sensitive to parameter configuration in the overall decision-making period, but with the enhancement of users’ decision-making intention, this concern feature of young people appears, and the rational observation willingness of TAs in the early decision-making period is obvious.

  In addition, the influence of automobile vertical content on the car purchase behavior of user groups has gradually increased. "Report" pointed out that in the stage of generating interest, young users after 1990s are more willing to watch UGC content (user-generated content) in the cycling circle, and TAs are more inclined to learn about vehicle models through interaction and other means. In the decision-making stage, the influence of content becomes more and more obvious with the increase of young users’ decision-making intention. According to the Report, the browsing significance of reserved users in the age range of 18-30 is 110, which is significantly higher than that of full-time users in the same range, and users from 1985 to 1995 are greatly influenced by professional content, and the browsing significance of PGC content pages by users exceeds 100.

  Users’ willingness to compare is enhanced, and they are more willing to "spend ahead" after 90.

  In the precipitation stage after generating interest, the user’s willingness to compare gradually increases, and the comparison ability of the main car buyers after 80 s and 90 s is relatively significant. Understand that the growth trend of clicking on PK(PV) is fluctuating and rising, with an increase of 58.2% in July compared with January. Among them, mature users aged 31-40 click on the vehicle comparison (PK) the most.

  According to the Report, young post-90s users tend to compare the dominant indicators of products, such as the appearance and interior of cars, while older users will pay more attention to weighing the competitiveness of target models from the vehicle configuration and comprehensive level. In addition, disassembling the car price and careful calculation have become more and more important considerations for users to buy cars. The click trend of users in the station car purchase calculation shows a fluctuating growth trend, and the full payment and loan distribution of users are relatively balanced. According to the Report, 52% and 48% of users choose full payment and loan respectively.

  It is worth mentioning that the consumption concept of young users is more radical. According to the Report, post-90s users are more sensitive to calculating car prices and have a stronger willingness to "spend ahead of time", and financial penetration is more significant for young users. Among them, the 18-23-year-old car purchase calculation has the highest significance, and the application loan conversion rate accounts for the largest proportion.

  On the whole, Knowing Car Emperor released the report "Intergenerational Car Purchase Users’ Decision Insights from a Vertical Perspective", which deconstructed the overall consumption behavior characteristics of the current intergenerational crowd for brand owners, helped brand owners understand the differentiated needs of users, and also provided more professional and valuable information for the automobile industry, so as to promote the development of related industries.
