This statement was made on the same day by the press office of the Department of State of China, which held a press conference of the Forum on Middle-Range Villages in 2023.

He said that the first continued strengthening of intergovernmental scientific and technological cooperation. China has now established scientific and technical cooperation with more than 160 countries and regions and has signed agreements with 116 countries and territories. These bilateral cooperation agreements are aimed at promoting scientific and technological cooperation between the two sides, as well as cooperation on a number of global cross-cutting issues such as climate change, biodiversity, clean energy use, etc. “This is something that has been insisting over the past 10 years and that will continue to be done”.

The second is sustained support for high levels of transnational scientific and technological cooperation. This is mainly reflected in support of cross-border cooperation among scientists, teams of scientists and scientists, and China has piloted a global scientific research fund to encourage research on global cross-cutting issues, including among scientists from both mid- and middle-sized sources, to produce research results. At the same time, scientists are supported as important participants to participate in or initiate global scientific plans and major scientific works. The main two levels are: first, active participation, such as China’s participation as an important member in the internationalrmonuclear-pooling experiment, the sq km syllabus radio telescope, etc., and second, the initiative to launch major scientific plans, major scientific works, such as China’s good progress in promoting the time-bound digital Earth (international master plan).

The third continued engagement in global innovation governance. Through the establishment of global science and technology issues around a number of global cross-cutting issues, global scientists work together. China, for example, has contributed to China’s programme and China’s wisdom around “two carbons” (carbon peaks and carbon), “green power future missions” (global initiatives) on climate change, and on topics such as science and technology poverty reduction, science and technology innovation, remote sensing services worldwide, national science and technology governance.

The Secretary-General emphasized that the current global environment is complex and multi-crisis, with many uncertainties about the world’s economic development, and that there is a greater need for a global partnership to strengthen scientific and technological innovation and to build a better future for humankind.

He also noted that the historic changes that had taken place in China’s scientific and technological careers over the past 10 years had been marked by a significant increase in scientific and technological strength and a significant increase in the impact of innovative global maps; a significant increase in the ability of scientific and technological innovations to support the transformation of the leading industry and to provide high-quality development of services; a significant increase in the capacity of science and technology to serve the well-being of the people and to meet the needs of their people for a better life; and a significant increase in technological and technological support for enabling regional development and innovative and leading roles.

These four notable enhancements, together with scientific and technological power, provide a good basis for China’s next phase towards innovative countries. The Ministry of Science and Technology will then focus on three main areas: the continuation of four orientations (for the world’s scientific and technological fronts, for the main economic battlefields, for the country’s vital needs, for the people’s health); the creation of a national innovation system that is self-sustaining with high levels of science and technology; and the further strengthening of business as the subject of scientific and technological innovation, and the further optimization of national innovation effectiveness through the strengthening of business ownership. “In sum, China-style modernization is accelerated through the promotion of the nation-building of the scientific and technological power.”

Users in Taiwan, China also feel. According to the report of Taiwan Telecom Association, the ARPU launched a relatively high tariff plan yesterday. For example, when 5g was just put into commercial use, Taiwan operators were promoting NT $1399 unlimited packages. If consumers wanted to taste new technologies and services, they would be willing to pay. At this time, ARPU would be higher.

In contrast, when the tariff is mature, the cost of the operator’s early investment will be gradually recovered, and the operator’s operation focus will shift from equipment investment to expanding market share, and then launch a series of low-cost promotion schemes. The previous 4G package of 499 yuan is a classic case.

According to statistics, ARPU, a mobile user in Taiwan’s telecommunications industry, reached a historical peak of NT $1088 in 2014. In 2018, Taiwan’s NT $499 package was popular and usually bound for 24 months or more, and the ARPU of operators fell for two consecutive years. In the first quarter of 2021, Taiwan mobile user ARPU fell to NT $432, and then began to reverse.

Recently, it has been difficult for Taiwan users to find cheap charges.

According to previous statistics, the ARPU of mobile users in Taiwan Province ended its decline for six consecutive years since 2015 in the second quarter of 2021, and achieved continuous growth in the third quarter, with ARPU reaching 102.4 yuan.

By contrast, Chinese mainland’s three largest carriers, the mobile ARPU in the first three quarters of 2021, China Mobile was the highest of 50.1 yuan. 45.4 yuan for China Telecom; China Unicom is 44.3 yuan.

Crude oil futures rose again, approaching the highest point in 14 years.

In the morning of March 7, Brent crude oil futures rose sharply by US $20 / barrel, reaching a high of US $139.1/barrel, WTI crude oil futures reached US $130.5/barrel, and the two major crude oil futures prices both refreshed their highest values since 2008.

In 2008, the highest crude oil prices of WTI and Brent exceeded 140 US dollars / barrel, approaching 150 US dollars / barrel, creating the highest level ever.

Market analysis pointed out that the energy sanctions against Russia, a major oil producer, will bring a huge gap in global energy supply, while Iran’s crude oil export has not been lifted. Under the condition of relative shortage of idle crude oil production capacity in the world, the rise of oil and gas prices will be inevitable.

International oil prices rise sharply again

On the afternoon of March 7, the price of WTI crude oil futures fell to about $125 / barrel, and the price of Brent crude oil fell to about $128 / barrel. Even at this level, the oil price has increased by more than 50% compared with the level at the beginning of the year.

In terms of news, the US government said that it had discussed with its European allies the plan to ban oil imports from Russia, which has brought new stimulus to the already tense crude oil market. Prior to this, the United States and its European allies imposed a number of sanctions on Russia, but did not prohibit oil and gas transactions with Russia.

Since the end of last year, the global demand for crude oil has continued to grow, but OPEC + has continued to increase production slowly, which has increased the gap in the crude oil market instead of decreasing; Recently, Russia has encountered multiple sanctions, which has led to difficulties in its energy export and exacerbated the tension in the global crude oil market.

In order to cope with the continuous rise of oil prices, the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the United States and other crude oil consuming countries jointly released the strategic reserves of crude oil, but the total volume of 60 million barrels did not play a significant role in the market, and the rise of oil prices remained.

Mike Muller, Asia director of commodity operator Vitol group, pointed out that at present, the global standby crude oil production capacity and crude oil inventory are in a shortage state, and the high oil price caused by the geopolitical crisis will damage the global crude oil demand.

Xi Jiarui, a crude oil analyst at jinlianchuang, said that the panic in the crude oil market has continued to grow recently. The risk aversion has led to the continuous withdrawal of funds and turned to the gold market in order to avoid risks and increase value. From the perspective of the funds left in the floor, supported by geopolitical factors, the short positions retreated rapidly, while the long positions increased significantly, indicating the high bullish sentiment in the market.

As of the week of March 1, the total position of WTI crude oil futures continued to decline significantly for three weeks, while the short position fell for five consecutive weeks, and the long and net positions stopped falling and rebounded.

European natural gas prices soared again. On March 7, the Dutch TTF benchmark natural gas futures, as the wind vane of European natural gas prices, climbed to a record high of 345 euros / MW. Over the past two years, TTF benchmark natural gas futures prices have mostly remained below 20 euros / MWh.

Xi Jiarui pointed out that the recent geopolitical conflict is increasing global economic risks, and the rise in the prices of crude oil and other commodities will further exacerbate the global inflationary pressure.

Russian crude oil exports affect the global market

As one of the world’s largest producers of crude oil and natural gas, Russia’s crude oil export is facing many obstacles, which has further led to concerns about the interruption of crude oil supply in the international market.

Recently, Urals crude oil, Russia’s main export crude oil, has continued to decline in the spot Brent discount, and its sales in the international market have been frustrated repeatedly.

Although European and American countries did not directly sanction Russia’s energy exports, financial means and asset freeze also affected the country’s energy export transactions. Xi Jiarui said that recently, Russia’s energy exports have encountered difficulties in payment and ship supply. Even if the Russian oil price is far lower than the benchmark Brent crude oil price, it is difficult to clinch a deal, and the market’s concerns about the interruption of crude oil supply are escalating.

So far, a number of international energy giants, including BP, Statoil, shell and ExxonMobil, have announced that they will withdraw their project investment in Russia, and total energy has also said that it will no longer provide funds for the development of new projects in Russia.

The discounted ural crude oil attracts European oil giants to purchase. According to the data released by S & P global Platts, shell recently purchased a batch of Ural crude oil shipments, and the discount of this batch of Ural crude oil to spot Brent reached US $28.5/barrel.

Shell said that the batch of Russian crude oil was purchased by its refineries and chemical plants to continue production and ensure the supply of basic fuels and products.

On the other hand, with the rise of international oil prices, Saudi Arabian national oil company (Saudi Aramco) recently raised the price of its export crude oil. Among them, the price of Arab light crude oil sent to Asia in April increased by US $2.15 per barrel, and the price sent to America and Europe increased by US $1 and US $1.7 per barrel respectively.

Pan Xiang, a researcher at Huatai futures, pointed out that the return of Iranian crude oil to the market is the most effective way to cool the current oil market. Its oil production recovery space is 1.5 million barrels / day and its export is 2 million barrels / day; If Iran’s crude oil sanctions can be successfully lifted, it will have a more obvious easing effect on oil prices.

At present, there is news of progress in the nuclear negotiations between Iran and the United States, but it is still unknown when Iranian crude oil can be released for export. Even if Iran’s crude oil is finally released, it will take several months for the country to achieve a significant increase in crude oil exports.

With the rise of international oil prices, the stocks of major oil and gas producers continued to rise. As of the afternoon closing of March 7, Hong Kong stock PetroChina (00857. HK) rose 4.44% to HK $4.47 per share, a new high in more than two years. CNOOC (0883. HK) rose to HK $10.66 per share, up more than 35% in the past six months.

Saudi Aramco’s share price, listed on the Riyadh stock exchange in Saudi Arabia, rose as high as 45.9 Saudi Riyal / share, setting a new high since its listing and rising nearly 30% in the past six months. ExxonMobil shares rose to 84.5%

It is understood that the competition is for college students inside and outside Fujian Province. Social practice activities such as “three trips to the countryside”, “red dream building trip”, “return to hometown” and “he Xiaoyu” are carried out as the main live content. A three-level competition system of trials, semi-finals and finals of colleges and universities is set up. After layers of competition, a total of 6 teams in the main track won the Gold Award, 14 teams won the silver award and 24 teams won the Bronze Award; A total of 4 teams won the Gold Award, 6 teams won the silver award and 6 teams won the Bronze Award.

Live broadcast of the competition

As the sponsor of the event, Liu Songqing, Party Secretary of sunshine college, said that the live challenge tiktok started in June 2021, and after the University trials, semi-finals and finals, the universities have issued more than 500 short videos of “beautiful countryside” on the trill, with a total 100W+ of visits. In the finals, the live broadcast lasted for 2 hours, 30 teams watched the live broadcast, and the number of viewers was up to 14W +. At the same time, a number of excellent practice teams and cultural, creative and design works emerged.

It is reported that in the final on the afternoon of December 4, in just two hours, the total number of spectators of 20 teams of the main track was 108142, the sound wave was 52930, the number of likes was 7772600, and the total sales volume was 61160.63 yuan; The total number of spectators of the 10 teams of hexiaoyu track is 36750, with 151165 sound waves and 4141000 praise points. At the same time, a number of excellent practice teams and cultural and creative design works have emerged.

“Through this competition, we feel the great rivers and mountains of our motherland and the achievements of beautiful rural construction, and a sense of pride arises spontaneously!” According to Chen Hongwei, the “six happiness team” of sunshine college, this “live broadcast” experience is a process of constantly adjusting yourself. As the gold medal winner of this beautiful village live broadcast challenge, he worked with five other members of the team to chew down the most difficult outdoor live broadcast of “Shoushan township”, and completed the process from zero foundation of “live broadcast” to “good shooting, editing, speaking and creative”. Chen Hongwei said that through this competition, he has more realized the importance of building a beautiful countryside. After graduation, he will try his best to take the public examination, join the grass-roots team and contribute to the construction of a beautiful countryside.

“The original river regulation can also be carried out in combination with the technology of spatial data.” This competition is of great significance to Lin Hongfei, a student majoring in environmental engineering at Fujian agriculture and Forestry University. He and his “research and practice team for hexiaoyu inland river in Fuzhou” are the gold winners of the “hexiaoyu” track. The four month competition process made Lin Hongfei truly understand the essence and connotation of the “three rural” activity, and also realize the importance of interdisciplinary. “Through the competition, we have a preliminary understanding and practice of applying spatial data remote sensing technology to pollution prevention and control, which has certain enlightenment significance for my future study goal and employment direction.”
