According to Cailian News, at the Huawei Developers Conference held today, HarmonyOS NEXT launched a Beta version for developers, and Huawei Mate 60 series, Mate X5, MatePad Pro 13.2-inch and other devices were upgraded on the same day. It is expected that the Beta upgrade will be launched for consumers in August 2024, and the official version will be launched with the launch of Mate70 series in the fourth quarter.
In addition, Huawei Cloud released Pangu Model 5.0 at the meeting, including different parameter scales such as one billion, ten billion, one hundred billion and one trillion.
It is worth mentioning that Huawei Cloud also released a large model of Pangu’s intelligent body, and demonstrated the Kuafu humanoid robot in cooperation with Leju Robot on the spot, and completed interactive demonstrations such as object identification, question-and-answer interaction, high-five, and water delivery.
Pure blood HarmonyOS has achieved full-stack self-research
At the Huawei Developer Conference, Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei and chairman of terminal BG, said,Pure blood HarmonyOS realizes full-stack self-research from the inside out.. "HarmonyOS is a full-scenario intelligent operating system based on Open Harmony, which is an autonomous and controllable operating system from China."
At present,There are more than 900 million ecological devices in HarmonyOS, and the number of Harmony OS developers has reached 2.54 million.. Yu Chengdong revealed that shipments of Pura 70 series increased by 68% from January to May in 2014, and shipments of flagship mobile phones increased by 72%.
Up to now, the first 5,000 APPs have been added to HarmonyOS Eco, and 1,500+apps have been put on the shelves. Yu Chengdong specially thanked mainstream app manufacturers such as Tik Tok, Meituan and Nail.
At the meeting, mPaaS, an ant math department, also announced the progress of three-way co-construction of HarmonyOS Ecology: more than 200 apps including Huaxia Bank, Guangfa Bank, PetroChina and China Mobile started the HarmonyOS development test. It is reported that Ant mPaaS is a mobile development platform under several branches, which has been fully adapted to more than 100 SDK in HarmonyOS.
The science and technology innovation board Journal learned that Zhongtai Securities also pushed its mobile App, Taiqi Futong, to complete the first batch of native application development in HarmonyOS, and launched it in the "HarmonyOS Pioneer Application Zone" in Huawei’s application market. According to the person in charge of the Zhongtai Qifutong team, the post-construction of the HarmonyOS Edition project will realize the optimization of four functions, including the coverage of basic services, the customization of personalized functions of customers, the integrated display of account information and the deep adaptation of HarmonyOS’s characteristic functions.
However, some people related to the industrial chain expressed concern about the ecological construction after HarmonyOS completely separated from Android. “Some overseas apps may not work on pure blood HarmonyOS, including some minority apps. After completely leaving Android, it is impossible for all apps to support HarmonyOS.So there is still a long way to go. However, it remains to be seen how HarmonyOS will advance overseas and how well it will be accepted by consumers. "
Pangu Big Model 5.0 was released to show the interaction of humanoid robots.
Pangu Big Model 5.0 was released today, including models with different parameters and specifications. Among them, Pangu E series with billions of parameters can support smart applications such as mobile phones and PCs. Pangu P series with tens of billions of parameters is suitable for reasoning scenarios with low delay and low cost; Pangu series with hundreds of billions of parameters is suitable for dealing with complex reasoning and can become the base of general enterprise model; Pangu S series super-large model with trillions of parameters is a super-large model to deal with cross-domain multi-tasks
In the past year, the Pangu Grand Model has landed in more than 30 industries and more than 400 scenes, including government affairs, finance, manufacturing, pharmaceutical research and development, coal mines, steel, railways, autonomous driving, industrial design, architectural design, meteorology and other fields.
At the meeting, Huawei Cloud released Pangu’s intelligent model, which supports robots to complete more than 10 steps of task planning, and realizes multi-scene generalization and multi-task processing in task execution. Pangu big model can also generate training videos that robots need.
Zhang Pingan had a dialogue and interaction with the humanoid robot at the scene, and finished high-fiving, handing water and other actions.
The science and technology innovation board Journal reporter learned that Huawei Cloud is cooperating with Leju Robot, and Leng Xiaokun, chairman of Leju Robot, told the reporter,Huawei Cloud and Leju signed a strategic cooperation at the beginning of the year.And jointly explore that application of Pangu big model+Kuafu humanoid robot,The two sides will advance simultaneously in the two major scenes of industry and family..
Zhang Pingan said that apart from humanoid robots, Pangu’s intelligent model can also be used for various forms of industrial robots and service robots, so that they can help human beings to engage in dangerous and arduous work.
"As everyone expected, let AI robots help us to wash clothes, cook and sweep the floor, so that we can have more time to read books, write poems and paint." Zhang Pingan said.

Recently, the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (hereinafter referred to as the "Green Development Association") baiji expedition team reported that two suspected baiji dolphins were found in Wuhu section of the Yangtze River, and released related videos. The news that the baiji dolphin, which has been declared functionally extinct for ten years, reappears in the Yangtze River is all exciting.
Regrettably, some experts later judged according to the video that the expedition team photographed the finless porpoise instead of the baiji.

At 8 o’clock in the morning on the 16th, Weibo, the official of the Green Development Association, sent a message again, saying that some experts believed that "the scientific research team may be able to see the target by combining various factors, but it is not very sure to take a large enough and clear photo".
The relevant staff of the Green Hair Association later told The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) that the experts who participated in the research and judgment of related videos have not yet given the final judgment, and it is not yet certain that the expedition team photographed the baiji.
How to distinguish white dolphin, finless porpoise and Chinese white dolphin? What are their respective characteristics?
It is relatively easy to distinguish them from each other by the length of kisses.. On May 16th, an aquatic expert from Wuhan Baiji Dolphin Protection Foundation introduced to The Paper that the kiss of Baiji Dolphin was very obvious. The kiss length of adult baiji dolphins is generally about 30 cm, while that of Chinese white dolphins is generally less than 20 cm. The finless porpoise’s kiss is shorter and easier to identify.
Body color is also the key factor to distinguish them.The white dolphin’s body color has not changed much in its life, and its back is bluish gray and its abdomen is white. However, the body color of Chinese white dolphins changes obviously, and the back of their larvae is dark gray. When they grow up, the black gray on the back will gradually fade away, showing dark gray spots, and the background color will be bluish white. In adulthood, it will mainly be white, and with the change of water temperature, it will show different degrees of pink, while the abdomen will always be white. The finless porpoise is basically black and gray, and the color is the deepest among the three.
In addition, the dorsal fin of the baiji dolphin is closer to the back of the body and shorter; The dorsal fin of Chinese white dolphin is higher and closer to the middle of the back; The finless porpoise has no dorsal fin.
"The white dolphin lives in the Yangtze River. Because the water is turbid and its vision has basically deteriorated, its eyes are very small, as big as small mung beans; The Chinese white dolphins live in the sea, their eyesight is quite good, and their eyes are much bigger. " The expert said, "And from the perspective of posture, the white dolphin is more elegant and the Chinese white dolphin is stronger."
Ten years ago, the baiji dolphin was declared "functional extinction", which means that this large animal, which was once at the top of the energy pyramid and food chain of the Yangtze River ecosystem, has lost its position and function in the Yangtze River ecosystem and lost its ability to reproduce itself.
The living conditions of finless porpoises and Chinese white dolphins are also in jeopardy. On May 9th, the symposium on upgrading Yangtze finless porpoise to national first-class protected animals was held. The related technical report compiled by Institute of Aquatic Sciences of Chinese Academy of Sciences showed that the protection of Yangtze finless porpoise has entered the most critical period, and it may be the last chance to save the population at present.

As one of the only two cetaceans in the list of national key protected wild animals (the other is the baiji), the news of Chinese white dolphin’s death has been exposed continuously since this year, and it has even been captured by fishermen and slaughtered in the street.

Chinese white dolphins are slender and spindle-shaped, with long and narrow beaks, which generally fade from primary dark gray to adult pink. Mainly distributed in the Indian Ocean, the east coast of India, China and Australia. In China, it is mainly distributed in the southeast coast, inhabiting the waters of continental shelf, and the water depth is less than 100m m. The population of Chinese white dolphins is still decreasing due to the loss of habitat and accidental catching of other fish.
Yangtze finless porpoise
English name: Yangtze Finless Porpoise
Latin name: neophocaena phocaenoides asiae orientalis
Quantity: 1000-1800
Mammalia, Cetaceae, porpoises and finless porpoises, commonly known as porpoises, are the only freshwater subspecies of finless porpoises endemic to China. The national second-class protected animals are listed as "VU" by the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species. Small size, blunt head, forehead bulge slightly forward; The snout is short and wide, the upper and lower jaws are almost the same length, the snout is short and wide, and the whole body is leaden or grayish white, which looks like a dolphin. The Yangtze finless porpoise is a unique freshwater dolphin, which is only found in the Yangtze River basin. Their intelligence level is similar to that of gorillas, and they generally lack dorsal fins. They eat fish and shrimp, but the ecological damage caused by overfishing makes it difficult for finless porpoises to find food. In some parts of the Yangtze River, the food chain of finless porpoises has been broken.
About IUCN and Red List of Endangered Species;
Founded in 1948, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) provides relevant data, evaluation and analysis for the global nature conservation work, and provides knowledge and technical support to the public, non-governmental organizations and the private sector.

In the compact car market, Nissan and Volkswagen have always been the hot models concerned by consumers. These two cars have their own advantages, both in design, interior style, power performance and market reputation. So, for you who are considering buying an oil car, how should you choose? This paper will make a comparative analysis of Sylphy and LaVida from many angles to help you make wise decisions.
Price and car purchase cost
Price is undoubtedly one of the most concerned factors when consumers buy a car. According to the latest market data, the price range of 2024 Nissan Sylphy is 68.6-13.49 million yuan, while the price range of 2024 Volkswagen LaVida is 49.0-99.9 million yuan. From the price range, LaVida’s starting price is lower, which is more attractive to consumers with limited budget. In particular, the price of LaVida’s entry-level models has dropped to more than 60,000 yuan, which is very rare in the same class. However, it is worth noting that Sylphy often has a large preferential margin in actual sales, and some dealers even offer preferential loan activities and trade-in subsidies, which further reduces its actual car purchase cost.
Appearance design and style
In terms of design, Sylphy and LaVida both show their own unique styles. Xuanyi continues the classic elements of family style, with full machine cover, compact body lines and a large area of blackened net, creating a strong sense of muscle and sports. LaVida, on the other hand, uses a straight waterfall chrome trim and a sharp headlight group, which is simple without losing the sense of strength. On the side of the car body, LaVida’s waistline runs through the car body, adding a sense of movement to the whole car. In the rear part, both cars adopt the design language of their own brands, showing different visual effects. Judging from the overall feeling of appearance, Xuanyi is younger and more sporty, suitable for young consumers who pursue fashion and dynamic; LaVida, on the other hand, is more stable and atmospheric, suitable for home users who pay attention to quality and practicality.
Interior design and configuration
Entering the car, Sylphy and LaVida also have their own advantages in interior design. Sylphy’s interior is similar to the current model. The center console and door panel are wrapped in large leather, equipped with self-luminous 7-inch instrument panel, 12.3-inch central control screen and three steering wheels. The overall style is biased towards home use. LaVida, on the other hand, adopts a symmetrical layout style, with clear functional divisions and convenient operation. Some areas are wrapped with soft materials, matched with stitching and punching technology, which improves the texture of the interior. In addition, LaVida also comes standard with an 8-inch full LCD instrument and an 8-inch central control panel (10.25 inches and 12 inches for high-profile models), and is equipped with MOS intelligent interconnection system and other functions. LaVida is slightly superior in the sense of luxury and technology in the interior. However, Sylphy’s seat design is more generous and comfortable, providing passengers with a better ride experience.
Power performance and fuel economy
In terms of power, Sylphy is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 90kW(122 HP) and a maximum torque of 155N·m, matching the CVT continuously variable gearbox. LaVida offers 1.5L and 1.5T power versions for consumers to choose from. Among them, the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 81kW(110 HP) and a peak torque of 141N·m, matching a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. The 1.5T engine has higher power output. From the perspective of dynamic performance, Sylphy’s accelerated ride comfort and fuel economy are more suitable for urban commuting and home transportation; LaVida’s 1.5T version is more suitable for consumers who have higher requirements for power. However, it should be noted that the 1.5L version of LaVida is slightly inferior to the 1.6L version of Sylphy in power. In terms of fuel economy, both cars have performed quite well. The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of Sylphy is between 4.9 and 6.1L/100 km, while the comprehensive fuel consumption of the WLTC of LaVida is only 5.92L/100km(1.5L version).
Market feedback and word of mouth
Sylphy and LaVida, as popular models in the market, have received extensive attention and praise. Many car owners think that Xuanyi’s exterior design is fashionable and dynamic, the interior is comfortable and practical, and the fuel economy is excellent; LaVida, on the other hand, has won the trust of consumers with its stable and atmospheric appearance, exquisite craftsmanship and reliable quality. In addition, the two models have also performed well in terms of safety, and they are equipped with a number of active and passive safety configurations to ensure the safety of drivers and passengers. According to the statistics of the User Behavior Research Institute of Cheping.com, Sylphy won the title of the best word-of-mouth vehicle in the 2023 [Car Review List], and its positive word-of-mouth index reached 9052 points. LaVida also won a good reputation in the market with its balanced performance and excellent cost performance.
In 2015, the bright spots of Internet development in China appeared frequently. This aspect benefited from the rich accumulation of talents, users, products, companies, capital and concepts after 20 years of development of the Internet in China, which ushered in a period of rapid development from a network power to a network power; On the other hand, thanks to the top-level design of the country and the active participation of the whole society, the "internet plus" has risen to the national strategic level, promoting mass entrepreneurship and innovation, and the Internet has become an indispensable part of China’s infrastructure construction, scientific and technological progress, economic transformation, social development, national governance and even international exchanges and cooperation.
Highlights of Internet Development in China in 2015
The 13th Five-Year Plan proposal adopted by the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee emphasizes the implementation of the strategy of strengthening the country through network, the implementation of the "internet plus" action plan, the development of sharing economy and the implementation of the national big data strategy. The national top-level design has greatly promoted the Internet to penetrate all aspects of China’s economic, social and cultural development.
(A) the national strategic level
1. "internet plus" has risen to a national strategy and built a new ecology of economic development.
In March, the government work report proposed to formulate the "internet plus" action plan, and in June, the the State Council executive meeting adopted the "internet plus Action Guiding Opinions". In 2015, eight ministries and bureaus, including the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Commerce, the Health Planning Commission, the Tourism Bureau and the Energy Bureau, issued the "internet plus", among which the Ministry of Commerce has issued the first ministerial-level action plan, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "internet plus" three-year action plan. Subsequently, local versions of action plans were launched one after another. Fujian, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Sichuan, Hunan, Henan and other provinces will definitely formulate their own Internet action plans. More than 20 provincial local governments across the country have signed strategic cooperation agreements with major Internet companies to carry out comprehensive and in-depth cooperation in cloud computing, big data, smart city construction, Internet public services, e-commerce and Internet finance.
"internet plus" related forums and conferences are getting more and more popular. From government to enterprises to individuals, people are exploring how to use the power of the Internet to achieve efficiency improvement, industrial upgrading and innovation and entrepreneurship. Internet plus Finance, inclusive finance in the Internet Age; Retail in internet plus, achieving e-commerce; Internet+education to achieve universal online education; Internet plus Life Service, Achieving O2O. The "mass entrepreneurship and innovation" promoted by the Internet are also concentrated in these areas. The future Internet will be combined with agriculture, education, medical care, finance, transportation, tourism, culture, home, life service, media, advertising, retail and other industries to form a new ecological landscape.
2. Accelerate the pace of becoming a network power and actively participate in global Internet governance.
In October, the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" proposal adopted by the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee clearly stated: "Implement the strategy of strengthening the country by network and accelerate the construction of a new generation of information infrastructure with high speed, mobility, security and ubiquity". China has nearly 700 million netizens, more than 4 million websites, 1.3 billion mobile phone users, 600 million WeChat and Weibo users, and the market value of 7.85 trillion Internet listed companies. It is a veritable Internet power. At present, four listed companies, Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu and JD.COM, have entered the top 10 global Internet companies. Non-listed companies such as Huawei, Ant Financial and Xiaomi have also entered the top 20 in the world. China’s Internet industry is developing steadily, the market competition is full, and its independent innovation ability is enhanced, and it is making great strides to become a network power.
In 2015, China actively participated in the global Internet development and governance, fully expressed China’s proposition of establishing a new global cyberspace order, and put forward the "China Plan" for Internet development and governance. In September, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader visited the United States, and the two sides reached important consensus on cybersecurity and other aspects, and reached six achievements in the Internet field. In December, China hosted the second world internet conference with higher specifications and larger scale. In the keynote speech of the conference, the supreme leader put forward four principles of respecting network sovereignty, maintaining peace and security, promoting open cooperation, and building a well-ordered global Internet governance system, and five propositions of jointly building a community of cyberspace destiny, which have far-reaching influence.
3. Comprehensively promote the national big data strategy and build a data power.
The 13th Five-Year Plan proposes that China will implement the strategy of strengthening the country through network, the "internet plus" action plan and the national big data strategy. In September, the State Council officially issued the "Action Program for Promoting Big Data Development", which put forward the top-level design of China’s big data development from the overall height of the national big data development strategy. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is formulating the "Thirteenth Five-Year Development Plan for Big Data Industry". On November 17, People’s Daily published an article signed by Meng Jianzhu, Minister of Public Security, proposing to co-ordinate the construction of infrastructure such as big data, cloud computing center and Internet of Things.
The convergence of the Internet and human economic and social activities has triggered explosive growth of data. Big data has become the core theme of deepening the development of national informatization and the next starting point for the country to promote the development of informatization. Developing big data has become an inevitable choice for building a data power and promoting big data to govern the country. Local governments have begun to actively seize the opportunity to promote the development of big data. On April 14th, Guiyang Big Data Exchange, the first big data exchange in China, was officially put into operation and completed the first batch of big data transactions. The Southern Data Center of the three major communication operators and the first national comprehensive experimental zone for big data were also completed in Guizhou. On December 12th, Zhongguancun in Beijing released the roadmap and enterprise distribution map of "Big Data" industry to the society for the first time. By 2020, Zhongguancun will gather 600 big data innovative enterprises and cultivate 6,000 enterprises with big data application capabilities.
(B) the level of industry development
1. "internet plus" is more manifested as "moving internet plus".
No matter from the market, equipment, traffic, or from the user’s point of view, the mobile Internet will continue to maintain rapid growth. According to CNNIC statistics, as of June 2015, the number of Internet users in China reached 668 million, while the number of mobile phone users reached 594 million. The proportion of Internet users using mobile phones increased from 85.8% in December 2014 to 88.9%. According to the statistics of iResearch, in the third quarter of 2015, the scale of China’s network economy reached 278.39 billion yuan, with a mobile contribution rate of 36.0%, which is still increasing. In October, the monthly average mobile Internet access traffic reached 361.6M, up 88.3% year-on-year, and the mobile Internet access traffic reached 2.88 billion g, which doubled in October. China has built the world’s largest fourth-generation mobile communication (4G) network.
"internet plus" is more manifested as "Mobile internet plus", and its new products, new applications and new models emerge one after another, laying a solid foundation and creating a broad space for "internet plus" action. In the field of the combination of the Internet and traditional industries, the mobile Internet has seized the limelight, and the investment and financing in the fields of transportation, finance, education, medical care, socialization, tourism, entertainment, life service, e-commerce, advertising and marketing are extremely active. A new round of hardware innovation represented by wearable devices, smart cars and smart homes has flourished, with core chips, operating systems, HTML5, 4G/5G, cloud computing and smart homes.
2. Internet services are vertical and refined, and O2O is reshuffled and adjusted.
Various service fields of the Internet are developing vertically, splitting out more subdivided demands, attracting capital investment and giving birth to entrepreneurial opportunities. Among them, O2O field is the most active, covering almost all peripheral services such as automobiles, tourism, education, take-away, laundry, car washing and housekeeping. With the increase of market competitors, the vertical market is characterized by severe verticalization and refinement, and the adjustment of O2O industry is also in full swing.
Driven by capital and market, the core areas of Internet vertical services, such as online reading, O2O, online travel, and dating networks, began to be strong and strong, and the stronger they became. In January, Shanda Literature and Tencent Literature merged; Didi, quick merger in February; In April, 58 Tongcheng and Jiji.com announced the merger; In October, the public comment, the US Mission announced the merger, Ctrip and Qunar announced the merger; In December, jiayuan and Lily.com announced the merger. There are fewer opportunities left for small and medium-sized entrepreneurs in the whole vertical field, but small and beautiful enterprises are still likely to counterattack by deeply cultivating "the refinement of serving people" and "the uniqueness of consumption scenes".
3. The Internet helps the sharing economy to reconstruct a new format and become a new driving force for future industrial development.
On October 29th, the word "sharing economy" appeared in the communiqué of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, and it was proposed to "develop the sharing economy". At the second world internet conference, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader talked about the need to focus on developing new formats such as sharing economy during the 13th Five-Year Plan period. It is the development of Internet technology that makes the sharing economy enter a new stage of development. It is suggested that 2015 is the first year of sharing economy in China.
Sharing economy is a sharp weapon to transform and upgrade traditional industries with Internet thinking. The traditional "rules of the game" in the fields of house leasing, transportation, housekeeping, hotels, restaurants and so on are being changed. Apps such as Didi Chuche, Ride, Dada, Everyone Express, and Going Home for Dinner are typical business products of the sharing economy. The sharing economy is changing the industrial chain structure of the format and reconstructing the original format. This format connects many idle, scattered and silent resources in society, and optimizes the allocation of social resources with the help of mobile Internet, big data and geographical location services, which not only reduces the cost, but also solves the "pain point", to some extent, changes the mode of relying on continuous investment to expand reproduction, and finally breaks the original business rules. The new format and mode of sharing economy are becoming a new driving force to promote the future industrial development.
4. The new network culture is booming, creating a new path for the prosperity and development of the cultural industry.
On October 19th, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China’s Opinions on Prospering and Developing Socialist Literature and Art put forward that we should vigorously develop online literature and art. Driven by the policy and cultural consumption demand, the emerging network culture is booming. At present, the scale of China’s network culture industry reaches 150 billion yuan, up 200% year-on-year; Online original literary works exceed the sum of works published by paper media in contemporary literature for 50 years. With the rapid and extensive coverage of social media, a number of self-media with the responsibility of spreading knowledge of Chinese studies and promoting traditional culture have sprung up. With the help of the Internet, the overseas spread of China culture has reached an unprecedented breadth.
Internet "IP" (the abbreviation of intellectual property, meaning intellectual property) became the top hot word in the Internet field in 2015. The popular IP derived from online literature became the focus of crazy competition among major film and television companies, and many TV dramas adapted from the Internet "IP" were broadcasted, which triggered many rounds of social debates and highlighted the value of online IP. At present, around the popular "IP", a mature one-stop industry such as film and television drama, online drama, radio drama, comics and game production has been formed. From copyright trading to the production and distribution of film and television content, to the development of a series of derivative products such as games, e-commerce, real entertainment, toys, artists’ brokers, fan economy, etc., the improvement of production and creative ability brings about the feasibility of realizing products in various forms. Network culture has become an important force to promote the rapid development of China’s cultural industry.
5. The independent innovation capability of Internet technology has been enhanced to promote the development of smart industry in China.
In 2015, the development of Internet technology in China achieved major breakthroughs in many fields, such as 4G/5G network technology, mobile chips, intelligent terminals, cloud computing, big data, satellite navigation, etc., showing the characteristics of significantly enhancing the independent innovation capability of network technology, accelerating the catching-up of intelligent terminal manufacturing industry, and constantly cultivating new technologies and applications to form new formats.
At the second world internet conference "Light of the Internet" Expo, the virtual fitting mirrors of Baidu unmanned vehicle, Alibaba Cloud technology, JD.COM "Weilian Smart Home" and Suning "Augmented Reality" displayed the latest technologies, products and applications of the Internet in China. Emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things, virtual reality, smart wearables, drones, service robots, and intelligent networked cars accelerate commercialization. The close combination of Internet and intelligent manufacturing has become the leading mode for the development of Industry 4.0 and smart industry. Traditional manufacturing fields are focusing on creating intelligent factories and interconnected factories, developing intelligent manufacturing equipment, developing intelligent terminal products, encouraging artificial intelligence hardware innovation, and promoting digital and intelligent upgrading of consumer electronics products.
6. Internet and industry are deeply integrated to promote the evolution of new media and communication methods.
In 2015, the pace of traditional media in building new media and promoting media integration was greatly accelerated. A "central kitchen" and a "super editorial department" were set up to carry out process reengineering and institutional reorganization, build a media-integrated cloud platform, open up PCs and mobile terminals, and distribute information around users on demand. Drone news, data news and robot news began to appear. Traditional media in many places launched a new version of the news client, and the People’s Daily client was launched in the third phase. Boundless, Southern Plus, Nine Schools, Cover, Meeting Point, Looking at Chutian and Frontier appeared one after another, and the mobile internet field became the main battlefield for media integration and development. In the future, the development of new technologies such as 4G and 5G mobile communication technology, big data, Internet of Things and wearable smart devices will have a far-reaching impact on the transformation of the media industry. Different channels and forms of media information will be integrated into the digital platform. Internet has eliminated the boundary between media and non-media platforms, and new media groups and modern communication systems with three-dimensional diversity and integrated development are taking shape and developing.
(C) the level of social management
1. The construction of the rule of law in cyberspace has been comprehensively promoted, providing a solid guarantee for the network power.
Cyberspace, like the real society, should not only advocate freedom, but also maintain order. Cyberspace is not an "extra-legal place", which has become a social consensus. Promulgating network security laws and regulations and a series of guiding opinions on industry development, strengthening the governance of cyberspace and cracking down on illegal crimes are the proper meaning of cyberspace governance and the necessary guarantee for building a network power.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China’s cyberspace legal system has taken shape, covering many aspects, such as cybersecurity legislation, Internet infrastructure and basic resources legislation, Internet service legislation, e-government legislation, e-commerce legislation and Internet criminal legislation. In July 2015, the "Cyber Security Law" (draft) was open to the public for comments. The Ninth Amendment to the Criminal Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC), which was implemented in November, strengthened the protection of citizens’ personal information and added provisions on the crime of fabricating and disseminating false information. The Telecommunications Law and the Electronic Commerce Law are being drafted. In addition, the promulgation of normative documents and opinions such as Several Opinions on Strengthening the Service and Supervision of Market Subjects by Using Big Data, Action Plan for Promoting the Development of Big Data and Opinions on Strengthening the Supervision of Online Markets has become a supplement to cyberspace regulations.
2. Internet thinking promotes the transformation of government functions and innovates social management.
The development of the Internet should benefit people’s lives and be implemented by the transformation of government functions. In May, the State Council issued the Work Plan for Promoting the Combination of Decentralization, Administration and Transformation of Government Functions in 2015, pointing out that in promoting the innovation of supervision methods and optimizing government services, we should actively use information technology such as big data, cloud computing and Internet of Things to explore a new model of "internet plus supervision". In July, the State Council issued the Guiding Opinions on Actively Promoting the "internet plus" Action, clearly requiring "to build an integrated online public service system for the public and a new model of networked social management service with public participation". The Internet is deeply integrated with the government public service system, which simplifies the public service process with Internet thinking, promotes the equalization of resources, and greatly improves the service level and efficiency of the government. Government websites, Weibo, WeChat and government clients are becoming platforms for providing more convenient, better, all-round and all-weather public services.
At the same time, communications, news, radio and television, finance, retail, transportation and other industries have ushered in great changes in the Internet age. In particular, the transformation of traditional industries inspired by the integration of Internet thinking and sharing economy has brought great challenges to government management. On November 23rd, the State Council issued the Guiding Opinions on Giving Full Play to the Leading Role of New Consumption and Accelerating the Cultivation of New Supply and New Motive Force, proposing to adjust and improve the supporting system conducive to the growth of sharing economic model. Making full use of various channels such as trade associations, enterprises and social organizations to build a new governance model with extensive social participation has become a new idea for innovative social management.
Prospect of Internet Development in China in 2016
It should be noted that the development of things is always one after another and affects each other. In 2016, the influence of established Internet-related development plans, policies and regulations will gradually emerge, and new technologies, formats and models of the Internet will continue to develop. The signs and trends that have already appeared in the Internet market will become clearer. In 2016, China’s Internet development may have the following trends that deserve attention:
1. The Internet extends to the "last mile" and is increasingly becoming the infrastructure for economic and social development.
At present, there are nearly 700 million netizens in China, and the number of fixed broadband access ports reaches 407 million, covering all cities, towns and 93.5% administrative villages in China. With the implementation of the "Broadband China" strategy, it is expected to open up the "last mile" of network infrastructure, reduce the gap of Internet development level between the east and the west and between urban and rural areas, further improve the performance of China’s Internet, reduce network charges, make the achievements of Internet development benefit 1.3 billion people in China, and make the Internet truly become the infrastructure of China’s economic and social development, just like air, land, water and electricity. The information transmission, material exchange, management and even people’s way of thinking in society generally rely on the Internet, and the information society is getting closer and closer to us.
2. "internet plus" connects 360 lines, and the intelligent upgrade is accelerated.
Internet technology represented by big data and the Internet of Things is rapidly permeating the whole industry, and the era of wisdom is quietly coming. The development of Internet will promote the intelligent level of products, equipment, production, management and services in manufacturing industry, and further realize product personalization, customization and batch production, process virtualization, factory intelligence and logistics intelligence. The combination of Internet and traditional industries, on the basis of vertical and refined development, will further carry out intelligent upgrading and transformation, and may achieve breakthrough expansion in the fields of car networking, smart home, wearable devices and machine automation. The supervision and service of government departments will also be more "timely, accurate, efficient and intelligent".
3. Network culture has become a new hot spot for investment, and industrial development promotes cultural prosperity.
In 2015, innovations in cultural concepts, contents, formats and communication channels were more reflected on the Internet. Unconsciously, a group of self-media whose mission is to spread the knowledge of Chinese studies and promote traditional culture have been frequently concerned, attracting a large number of fans; The box office of Chinese movies exceeded 40 billion yuan for the first time, and there have been many successful cases of marketing and publicity in third-and fourth-tier cities through internet channels. Some people say that "small town youth" determines the increase of Chinese movie box office; The "internet plus Culture+Finance" model is highly praised for its combination of investment and financial management, art collection and cultural communication. More and more foreign public get the image perception of China through social networks … The increasingly rich material will inevitably lead to higher spiritual pursuit, and internet plus culture will surely become a hot spot for investment. Some Internet companies have begun to set foot in media, film and television and other cultural industries.
The consumption of Internet cultural products will become a huge market. It will become a trend to promote the effective integration of cultural industry content and channels through the Internet, promote the combination of cultural creativity with the real economy and financial capital, and realize the extension and appreciation of the value of the whole industrial chain. Taking the network as a platform to promote the sharing of cultural achievements and taking culture as a carrier to promote the construction of a community of destiny in cyberspace will become the consensus of cultural inheritance and cultural innovation in the Internet age.
4. Technological innovation, industrial development and space governance to jointly promote the construction of a network power.
There is still a big gap between China and developed countries in terms of infrastructure, technology, industry, network security and network discourse right. Only by breaking the weakness of core technologies such as PC and mobile phone operating system and realizing the leap from consumer Internet to internet plus industry can we promote the development of network economy and network culture and make due contributions to the prosperity of China’s economy and culture.
At the same time, ensuring network security, promoting orderly development and building an Internet governance system will be the theme of China Internet in the future. The concept of interconnection, sharing and co-governance, which originated in China, will spread more widely around the world. More and more Internet enterprises in China will go to the world and drive the development of the Internet all over the world through their own development. China will play a more active role in the development and governance of the Internet, and the pace of becoming a network power will become more and more solid.

The "Proposal" clarifies the objectives of the action: focusing on continuously increasing the crackdown, publicity and joint governance, taking the "Quality Inspection Sword" action as the starting point, continuously increasing the law enforcement and counterfeiting of key products in key areas, severely investigating and handling a number of major cases of manufacturing and selling counterfeit and shoddy products, and centrally publishing a number of typical cases of quality violations. The number of special anti-counterfeiting cases in the "Quality Inspection Sword" action has increased year-on-year, effectively maintaining the high-pressure situation of severely cracking down on quality violations, and giving full play to law enforcement and counterfeiting to maintain quality and safety.
The "Program" stipulates the main tasks of the action: First, focus on maintaining the safety of consumer goods and carry out the "quality inspection sword" action of counterfeiting consumer goods. Focusing on 10 kinds of consumer goods such as air purifiers, rice cookers, smart toilet lids, smart phones, children’s diapers, children’s toys, children’s clothes, kitchen utensils, bedding and furniture, and electric bicycles, car child safety seats and children’s imitation ornaments, we will strictly investigate the production of products that do not meet the national mandatory standards or express standards, shoddy products, pass off unqualified products as qualified products, forge or falsely use other people’s factory names and addresses, and fail to obtain production licenses or compulsory certification and labels as required.

The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine pointed out that on the basis of the above five special projects, all localities can determine the key products of their own departments in the region and organize the special action of "Quality Inspection Sword" in light of local conditions; At the same time, we should conscientiously cooperate with special rectification actions such as "pseudo base stations", "black broadcasting" and "local oil refining" to do a good job in law enforcement and counterfeiting.
The "Program" puts forward the working measures for action: First, dig deep and carefully investigate the clues of quality violations.

Focusing on strengthening the crackdown, we will persist in investigating major cases as a breakthrough and promote the comprehensive and in-depth development of the "Quality Inspection Sword" action. Establish and improve the supervision system for major and important cases organized by provincial bureaus. For major sudden cases, provincial bureaus should go deep into the front line, rely on the front command, strengthen supervision and coordination, and effectively increase the intensity of case investigation.

Recently, Esther Yu, a post-90s actress, has attracted much attention due to a series of negative events. First of all, her two works "If You Are the One" and "Pray for the Present" have a poor reputation, and her acting skills and face value have been questioned and ridiculed by the audience. Subsequently, some paparazzi photographed her reversing illegally in the emergency lane of the expressway, which triggered a wide public discussion.
With the fermentation of the incident, not only the mainstream news reported it, but also the Beijing traffic police said through Weibo that two minibuses illegally backed out of the main road after missing the exit in the emergency lane. The police also pointed out that the two cars had other traffic violations and were currently under further investigation.
When Esther Yu first appeared at the airport after the high-speed reversing storm, she wore a white down jacket, sunglasses and a mask, dressed in a low-key manner, and clasped her hands all the time, which was in sharp contrast with her usual bright and lively image. Esther Yu’s fans expressed their love for her hand-clasping, believing that it was a sign of her grievance, sadness and helplessness. The last time she clasped her hands, she faced a full screen of abuse on her birthday. Only in this way can she ease her embarrassment. This time, just because she took the bus, she was accused because of the driver’s driving problems. Fans thought she was very pitiful.
However, the majority of netizens didn’t buy the behavior of Esther Yu and his fans. Some people left a message saying that a group of maids were actually distressed by Lao Lai’s daughter, and 208, who didn’t pay back the money at the age of 30, really made people feel distressed. Someone felt distressed when they clasped their hands, so it was better to feel distressed by themselves who had no money first.
For the high-speed reversing incident, Esther Yu Studio issued an apology shortly after the incident, and said that Esther Yu was riding a third-party vehicle, and hoped that everyone would not follow the car and follow. This seems to imply that the driver had to reverse illegally because of stalking fan’s tail. However, it is worth noting that before her debut, Esther Yu had an illegitimate behavior of idolize, including being an actor Kim Soo Hyun’s illegitimate powder, buying the same flight with Lee MinHo, and exposing Lee MinHo’s hotel room number on social platforms. Although these behaviors happened before her debut, as an adult, it is really not advisable for her to go her own way after repeated reminders from the staff.
Nowadays, the Internet has a memory, and Esther Yu’s illegitimate behavior has finally returned to him. Many people don’t understand why capitalists always send their children into the entertainment circle. Esther Yu’s face value and acting skills are average, but she is hard-blown to be cute. Her lines are also embarrassing. It is really puzzling that 40 billion Shanghai princesses should look up to the salary of 208W in the entertainment circle.
Ten years after its establishment, Flash plans to go public in the United States.
According to the official website of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), on September 13th, BingExLimited (stock code: "FLX") submitted a prospectus to be listed on NASDAQ, with China International Finance Corporation, CLSA, Deutsche Bank and UBS Investment Bank as underwriters.
Since its commercial operation in 2014, as of June 30, 2024, Flash Transport has about 2.7 million registered riders, and its service coverage has expanded to 295 cities in China.
According to the data of the third party iResearch, according to the revenue in 2023, Flash Delivery is the largest independent express delivery service provider in China, with a market share of about 33.9%. According to the prospectus, unit economic benefit and replicable network are the core competitive advantages of Flash, which enables the company to continuously expand its scale and order volume and improve its profitability.
Xue Peng, the founder of Flash, is a veteran in the logistics industry. He has been the CEO since the establishment of the company and has been a director since May 2014. Before the establishment of Flash Delivery, China Express Logistics Integrated Service Platform Easy Post was established and developed. Yu Hongjian, co-founder, director and CEO of Flash, is Xue Peng’s old partner. He worked with Xue Peng for many years before he founded Flash.
According to the prospectus, before the IPO, Xue Peng held 22.7% equity and 74.6% voting rights; Yu Hongjian holds 1.6% equity and 0.5% voting rights. Among institutional shareholders, SIG, CDH Venture Capital and Shun Wei Capital hold 9.7%, 8.9% and 7.8% respectively. They have 3.2%, 2.9% and 2.6% voting rights respectively.
According to Tianyancha, Flash has gone through more than ten rounds of financing since its establishment ten years ago. The latest round of financing was completed in 2021. According to the prospectus, in March, April and May of 2021, Flash received 747.8 million yuan from the D-2 round of financing.
In 2023, it turned losses into profits, and the annual gross profit margin increased year by year, but it was less than 10%.
As a one-to-one express delivery platform in the instant delivery industry in the same city, Flash delivery is a pioneer in the instant delivery industry in the same city, providing various exclusive services for different types of delivery for customers, and the share of Flash delivery is the largest according to the revenue in 2023.
Compared with other real-time delivery platforms, flash delivery once said that its biggest feature is focusing on "one-to-one express delivery", which means that a flash operator is responsible for the whole service process from picking up items from the sender to delivering them to the recipient, and a flash operator can only take one order at a time, and will not take other orders until the current order ends. For this reason, many users tend to choose more respectful exclusive services when faced with the delivery needs of important items such as gifts.
According to the prospectus, it is estimated that from 2023 to 2028, the independent on-demand express delivery market in China will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 27.8%, exceeding the compound annual growth rate of 19.1% of the overall on-demand delivery market in China. By 2028, the overall on-demand distribution market in China will increase to 809.6 billion yuan, and the independent on-demand express delivery market in China will increase to 53.237 billion yuan.
However, at present, the competition in the instant delivery industry in the same city is fierce, and SF Express in the same city, Meituan Delivery in the takeaway department and Dada Group in the e-commerce department are all accelerating to seize the market.
Dada Group (Nasdaq: DADA) was listed on NASDAQ Exchange on June 5, 2020. SF City (9699.HK) was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in December 2021. Among them, the "first instant retail share" Dada Group has not yet achieved profitability. As the largest third-party instant delivery service in China, Shunfeng Tongcheng started to exert its strength. In 2023, its revenue reached 12.4 billion yuan, an increase of over 20%, and it achieved full-year profit for the first time. In the first half of this year, the income was nearly 6.88 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 19.6%; The net profit attributable to the owners of the company reached a record high of about 62.17 million yuan, up 105.1% year-on-year. It is worth noting that after landing in the capital market, the share price of Dada Group has fallen by over 90% compared with the issue price, and the share price of Shunfeng City has fallen by over 30%.
The prospectus shows that the flash has achieved profitability in 2023. The increase in customer demand has promoted higher order volume, and the growing number of riders has enhanced network density and delivery capacity, which has brought about organic growth in customer base and order volume.
Specifically, in the past three years, the revenue of flash delivery was 3.04 billion yuan, 4.003 billion yuan and 4.529 billion yuan respectively, of which 2022 and 2023 increased by 31.6% and 13.1% respectively. In the first half of this year, the revenue from flash transmission was 2.285 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.6%.
In the past three years, the net profit was-291 million yuan,-180 million yuan and 110.5 million yuan respectively, of which the year-on-year loss was reduced by 38.1% in 2022, and it turned losses into profits in 2023. In the first half of this year, the net profit was 123.7 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of nearly two times. In 2023, the net profit rate was 2.4% and the net loss rate was 4.5%. The net profit rate in the first half of this year was 5.4%, compared with 2% in the same period last year.
The prospectus pointed out that the realization of profit in 2023 was mainly due to the increase in government subsidies determined by relevant government departments as appropriate.
In the past three years, the gross profit margin has increased year by year, 6.2%, 6.5% and 8.7% respectively. The gross profit margin in the first half of this year was 11.3%, compared with 8.6% in the same period last year.
The average charge for flash delivery is 16.5 yuan per order: the income is declining year by year, which is obviously higher than that of peers.
According to the prospectus, all the income from flash delivery comes from the fees charged for providing on-demand express delivery services to customers. Flash delivery provides a unified pricing model, and the floating rate of each order is calculated according to the formulas of city, delivery distance, package weight and volume, and night surcharge. If the supply is insufficient due to bad weather or other reasons, the "peak price" may be adopted.
According to reports, the flash network mainly recruits riders through crowdsourcing mode, most of them are crowdsourcing individuals, and a small number of them are recruited from outsourcing distribution agencies in a few cities. After back training, riders become flash riders. According to the prospectus, with high-value services and crowdsourcing mode, we can maintain the light asset business model, reduce fixed costs and maintain high scalability, and quickly enter more cities.
Specifically, the number of registered flash riders increased from about 1.1 million in early 2021 to about 2.7 million on June 30, 2024. The number of registered customers increased from about 31.1 million in early 2021 to about 88.9 million on June 30, 2024. In addition, the number of daily orders for each active rider increased from 7.2 orders in 2021 to 8 orders in 2022, and further increased to 8.8 orders in 2023 and 9.3 orders in the six months to June 30, 2024.
In the past three years, the number of flash orders was 158.6 million, 213.4 million and 270.7 million. In the first half of this year, 138.1 million orders were completed. The corresponding income is 3.04 billion yuan, 4.003 billion yuan, 4.529 billion yuan and 2.285 billion yuan respectively. Based on this calculation, the average income of a single order in the past three years and the first half of this year was 19.2 yuan, 18.8 yuan, 16.7 yuan and 16.5 yuan respectively, showing a downward trend year by year.
It is worth noting that the prospectus quoted the data of the third party iResearch, showing that within six months as of June 30, 2024, Flash delivery can charge a fee at an average price of 16.5 yuan per order, which is significantly higher than that charged by other major participants in the on-demand distribution industry.
However, in terms of risk factors, the prospectus mentioned that although Flash does not intend to compete with aggressive pricing policies that are not conducive to long-term growth, it cannot guarantee that it will not be forced to lower the delivery price of customers, increase the customer incentives we provide or increase our marketing and other expenses to attract and retain customers due to competition, supervision or other reasons, in order to cope with the competitive pressure.
In addition, the salary and reward paid to "Flash Ride" are the largest components of the income cost, accounting for 90.5%, 90.3% and 87.8% of the total income in the past three years, 85.4% in the first half of this year and 87.9% in the same period last year. According to the prospectus, this shows that even in the rapid expansion stage, flash delivery can maintain a stable cost structure in the same period.
As for the growth strategy, the prospectus points out that it plans to continue to expand market share, broaden service scope and application scenarios, strengthen market-leading brand image and invest in advanced and innovative technologies. According to the prospectus, the flash delivery plan improves the penetration rate of the existing market through differentiated distribution services. At present, flashover is still in the early stage of covering the target market, and the geographical coverage of flashover will be extended to more cities in China in the near future. In addition, it plans to use its highly scalable business to expand service products to cover more application scenarios.
