It can be said that the Guangzhou Auto Show was a perfect closing ceremony not only for the automobile exhibition industry in China, but also for the automobile industry in China in 2005.

The 3rd Guangzhou Auto Show has an exhibition area of 80,000 square meters. Commercial vehicle companies such as FAW, Guangzhou Isuzu, Junwei Bus, Yangcheng Bus, SAIC-GM-Wuling, Renault Truck, Volvo Truck, Beiqi Foton, Sinotruk Group and Scania China participated in the exhibition.

　　On Teacher’s Day in 2019, in the smart classroom of Friendship Campus of Northwestern Polytechnical University, students were sitting around a big screen. At the other end of the screen, Fang Shuting, an interpreter of Chen Wangdao’s former residence in Yiwu, was lovingly telling the students the story of Mr. Chen Wangdao’s translation of the communist party Declaration. The students listened attentively and were deeply moved by Chen Wangdao and the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries’ persistent pursuit of truth. This was a scene in which the school launched the "5G Ideological and Political Course".

　　Northwestern Polytechnical University also initiated the "5G+ Education for Poverty Alleviation" in China. Students from the folk band, symphony orchestra and chorus of college students’ art troupe showed and explained all kinds of musical instruments and sang the song My People，My Country for the children in Wang Xiaoxue, Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, to celebrate the 70th birthday of New China.

　　This is just a microcosm of educational informatization in Shaanxi Province. Shaanxi Province is located in the northwest of China, with a large number of poverty-stricken counties and districts. The development of education in urban and rural areas is uneven, and problems such as large class size, school selection fever and shortage of teachers have been restricting the development of education. In recent years, around the three-stage development strategy of "improving environment, expanding application and deepening integration", Shaanxi Province has comprehensively deployed and promoted the construction of educational informatization and big data, explored and built a new ecology of "Internet+education", promoted the innovative development of information technology and education, and created a unique development path for promoting education equity and improving education quality.

　　"Full participation, inclusion in the assessment, one-vote veto, delayed accountability" assessment and notification evaluation mechanism

　　Elaborate the Top Project of "internet plus"

　　Shiquan County, Shaanxi Province is a poverty-stricken county in mountainous areas. At the end of 2017, it was awarded the "first batch of educational informatization pilot units" by the Ministry of Education, and it is the only regional comprehensive pilot unit among the six excellent pilot units selected by Shaanxi Province. When accepting the pilot acceptance of the Ministry of Education, Zhou Yaoyi, the county magistrate of Shiquan County, said, "Under the unified deployment of the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Education, we set up a leading group for education informatization, set up an informatization unit in the county education bureau, and clearly established three 10% funding input mechanisms. Education informatization has achieved remarkable results in promoting the balanced development of education in Shiquan County."

　　As early as 2013, Shaanxi carried out the standardization construction of educational informatization management system and mechanism, and issued evaluation standards. By the end of 2017, universities and education administrative departments of cities and counties in the province had established systematic and complete educational informatization administrative promotion institutions, forming a perfect management system and mechanism.

　　In order to improve the political position, the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Education has always been headed by the "number one" director. Especially this year, after the Education Working Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Department of Education were co-located, the members of the leading group were adjusted in time, with the secretary and the director as the team leaders at the same time. The Education Informatization Department was also adjusted and established, and the mechanism of "full participation, inclusion in assessment, one-vote veto and delayed accountability" was established.

　　Wang Jianli, director of the Education Department of Shaanxi Province, told reporters, "We should take informatization as the endogenous factor of educational reform, focus on solving major problems of educational reform and development, promote educational equity and improve the quality of education, and vigorously promote the development of educational informatization in the new era, providing strong support for the modernization of education in Shaanxi and the construction of a strong education province."

　　Equity of Sharing "Internet+Education" in Urban and Rural Areas

　　"The teacher on TV came to our school, so kind!" A student from a nine-year school in Yankou Town said. Not long ago, Chengbei Primary School in Xixiang County went to Yankou Town Nine-year School to carry out long-distance interactive classroom teaching activities, with Yankou Town Nine-year School as the main classroom and Chengbei Primary School and Chazhen Nine-year School as the receiving classrooms, and carried out exchange lectures and recipient classroom experience activities, with online and offline dual synchronous teaching of Chinese and fine arts, which enriched the contents and ways of long-distance interactive teaching.

　　"In the past, teachers who could read microscopes in the nine-year school in Yankou Town could not be found. Now, remote interactive teaching can solve this problem. Driving teachers to learn and teaching, our goal was achieved through experiments. " Li Qingfeng, deputy director of the Education and Sports Bureau of Xixiang County, told the reporter that at present, there are 45 long-distance interactive classrooms in Xixiang County, namely, Xixiang No.3 Middle School, Lianhua Primary School and Dahe Town Nine-year School, Xixiang No.5 Middle School, Dongguan Primary School and Gao Chuan Town Primary School, which are 75 kilometers away, and Lianghekou Town Primary and Secondary School, which are 90 kilometers away, have crossed the time and space distance and entered a brand-new learning environment together with the last class. One school has many schools and one school has many points.

　　Not only in Xixiang, in Ningqiang, but also in rural primary schools in the vast northwest, there is a micro-lesson, a test paper, a bowl of preserved eggs and lean porridge, a football, a song and a familiar face … … These stories all reflect the profound changes of educational informatization to rural schools. Since vigorously implementing the construction of "three links and two platforms", Shaanxi’s education system has made up shortcomings, promoted upgrading, and accelerated the construction of school information infrastructure. At present, it has achieved full coverage of broadband networks in all levels and types of schools in the province, and the proportion of multimedia teaching equipment in ordinary classrooms has exceeded 90%, and the gap between urban and rural environments has been narrowing.

　　How to further realize Urban-rural Education Fairness, so that every child can enjoy high-quality educational resources? By promoting the large-scale application of the platform for everyone in secondary vocational schools and primary and secondary schools, Shaanxi Province has realized the accurate push of high-quality digital education resources. The platform has been deployed in 8 cities and 75 counties (districts), achieving "one point access and sharing in the whole province", with nearly 400,000 registered teachers in primary and secondary schools and secondary vocational schools. The platform continuously integrates micro-lesson contest and other activity resources. At present, the total amount of high-quality educational resources is more than 8 million, covering all disciplines and study sections. The high-quality resources are continuously covered in rural areas, remote and poor areas, and the ability of teachers to integrate and apply has been greatly improved, realizing "sharing high-quality educational resources under the same blue sky".

　　From the past "people looking for policies" to the present "policies looking for people"

　　"Internet+Government Affairs Service" to Improve Education Governance Ability

　　The repeated attacks on campus are shocking, and the security incidents are thought-provoking. In the current digital era of open information, how can we use big data to build an "iron wall" for children, maintain campus security through information technology, and improve the ability of education governance? In the Big Data Application Service Center of Shaanxi Provincial Department of Education, you can see a series of big data construction achievements and educational governance methods. Campus security managers can access the surveillance videos of universities and primary and secondary schools in the province anytime and anywhere, even accurate to every corridor, every canteen operation room and every playground. Security incidents can be commanded in time and accurately, and emergency measures can be launched immediately in case of danger.

　　Liu Baoping, chief accountant of Shaanxi Provincial Department of Education, said, "The education system of the whole province is in accordance with the provincial party committee and the provincial government ‘ One Netcom Office ’ And ‘ Internet+government services ’ Relevant requirements, vigorously promote the construction and application of education big data, and strive to solve social hot and difficult problems such as large class size and school choice fever, which are strongly reflected by the masses. " In March 2018, Liu Baoping introduced at the press conference on student financial aid of the Ministry of Education that Shaanxi’s "precise funding" and "controlling dropping out of school" based on big data covered all students from families who set up files and set up cards, and dynamic monitoring, real-time early warning and day-to-day processing have been realized, which has improved the "accuracy" of education funding, effectively made information run more and students run less errands, and realized "changing management into service". In addition, Shaanxi Province has creatively built an "educational map big data analysis platform" to visually display the information of the province’s educational development, educational planning and the tracking of educational hot issues in the form of maps. The planning and distribution of primary and secondary schools are more closely combined with the population dynamic trend, and the layout is more reasonable.

　　The reporter also learned that Shaanxi education big data construction has gone through the stages of management information system construction, provincial data aggregation platform construction, education basic data aggregation, data governance and mining application, and realized the integration, aggregation and sharing application of core management data, and entered the era of education big data 2.0, initially forming a sharing system of education big data construction at the provincial, city/university, district/county levels, sorting out 429 business items and drawing 458 business flow charts. It has gathered more than 20,000 data of educational institutions and nearly 9 million data of teachers and students in the province, solved many hot and difficult problems through big data analysis, and formed a unique "Shaanxi model", which was affirmed by the leaders of the Ministry of Education, the provincial party committee and the provincial government, and its experience attracted colleagues from all over the country to study.

　　Build a stage for maker, innovation and creation.

　　"internet plus" gives new vitality to education in generate.

　　Shaanxi Yangling is known as the "modern agricultural city". Relying on the advantages of science and education, all primary and secondary schools in Yangling actively promote wisdom education, closely combine school education with agricultural science and technology and ecological culture, develop school-based teaching materials and digital resources of animals and plants with regional characteristics, and stimulate students’ innovative enthusiasm for exploring nature. "We actively try to enrich the educational form by using the information system composed of the core system of wisdom education, feedback device, tablet computer and physical reminder machine, organize the primary and secondary schools to carry out plant identification competitions, and solve the shortcomings of insufficient intuition in previous animal and plant teaching through novel forms, which stimulates students’ interest in learning." Zhang Shaowen, director of the Education Bureau of Yangling Demonstration Zone, said.

　　Giving birth to innovation is a natural advantage and a deep mission of educational informatization. Shaanxi Province actively promotes new modes of educational informatization, such as artificial intelligence, maker education, STEAM education and smart campus, and leads all-round innovation in education and teaching from different levels of regions, schools, teachers and students. Shaanxi has held the information-based teaching innovation competition for primary and secondary schools and secondary vocational schools in the province for four consecutive years, with 150,000 teachers and nearly 10,000 excellent micro-courses and innovative resources. Xi ‘an High-tech No.1 Primary School started writing early under the network environment, which opened a new model of primary school students’ writing. Xi ‘an Daminggong Primary School develops the characteristic school-based curriculum "Serialized Micro-class" and carries out flip classroom teaching based on micro-class. Shaanxi has also built a "Youth Maker Love Challenge Platform", held a youth "Love Challenge" carnival and a youth Maker Creative Competition, and participated in 300,000 students. A batch of school maker spaces has rapidly emerged, which has become a new growth point and breakthrough point of school informationization.

　　Maker, innovation and creation, with the attention and promotion of education departments at all levels in Shaanxi Province, have become a beautiful landscape of Shaanxi education. (Reporter Huang Wei)

Apple and Huawei’s mobile phones peak against Foxconn and Huawei’s hourly wages exceed Apple’s.

Apple released the iPhone15 series, Huawei released Mate 60 Pro and pre-sold Mate 60 Pro+ and X5, and the high-end mobile phone market ushered in a peak confrontation. The most obvious change of iPhone15 is that the chip is upgraded and the charging port is changed to USB-C. On the day of its release, Apple closed down 1.71%, and its total market value fell below 2.8 trillion US dollars. It is understood that Shenzhen Longhua Foxconn has entered the peak season, and the hourly wages of relevant departments of Huawei exceed those of relevant departments of Apple. In the terminal market, many consumers in Huawei stores have asked about the booking and delivery of new machines. Some analysts believe that although Apple’s new machine has disappointed consumers, it still has advantages.

Comments: Apple’s "toothpaste squeezing" innovation has been going on for many years. The essence is that Apple’s advantage in the high-end market is still obvious. In China, the part taken away by Apple after the decline of Huawei’s mobile phone share is expected to be taken back by Huawei, but there are still problems in Huawei’s mobile phone production capacity, and it will be a gradual process to get back the market share. It is worth noting that in recent years, many domestic mobile phone brands are also taking the high-end path. The return of Huawei’s mobile phone business may have an impact on these brands that are still climbing high-end. How will these brands respond?

Zhang Yong officially stepped down as the new CEO of Alibaba Group and issued a full letter.

On September 10th, Cai Chongxin, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Alibaba Group, issued a full letter announcing that he had completed the handover of the management position of the Group on the same day as planned, and Wu Yongming was appointed as the CEO of the Group. At the same time, Ali’s board of directors accepted Zhang Yong’s request to step down as chairman and CEO of Alibaba Cloud, and this position will be concurrently held by Group CEO Wu Yongming. In the staff letter, Wu Yongming announced the establishment of two strategic focuses of Alibaba: users first and AI-driven.

Comments: Alibaba announced that it will invest 1 billion US dollars to support Zhang Yong to set up a future-oriented science and technology fund. In the future, Zhang Yong may be transformed into an investor. Whether it is the promotion of Alibaba’s organizational change or the three major shifts of "returning to Taobao, returning to users and returning to the Internet" proposed by Ma Yun for Taotian Group, it can be seen that under the new development situation, Alibaba, a huge commercial group, is seeking new directions and goals.

Sales are under pressure, AITO asks the world to speed up the pace of new car listing

On September 12th, AITO asked the public to release the M7 five-seater new car, and plans to release the M9 in the fourth quarter. As a brand jointly launched by Huawei and Cyrus, there is a distance between the sales volume of the world and the new force of building cars on the head. According to the data of the Federation, in the wholesale sales list of new energy passenger cars in August this year, Cyrus sold 5,018 vehicles, which was not ranked among the 20. Many car companies are considering cooperation with Huawei. Whether car companies are willing to hand over the "soul" to Huawei is the key to doubts. Under this circumstance, Huawei is making efforts to do a good job in the field with the deepest cooperation and set a benchmark.

Comments: AITO was born in 2021. Compared with other new car-making forces, it looks young, and there is still room for trial and error, but sales are still very important. Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, CEO of BG and CEO of BU, a smart car solution, has previously said that the annual output of head car enterprises in the future will not reach 5 million or even 10 million, so it will be difficult for enterprises to stand on their feet. Subsequently, the release of new cars is expected to improve the situation of the industry, and the industry will also release the M9. Yu Chengdong once boasted that the M9 should redefine the best car within 10 million.

Xiaohongshu announced the closure of the self-operated store welfare society.

Following the announcement of closing the self-operated e-commerce platform "Little Oasis" not long ago, Xiaohongshu announced again on September 15th that it would close the self-operated store "Welfare Society", and since then, Xiaohongshu’s self-operated e-commerce platform will be closed. In a letter to users, Xiaohongshu Welfare Society said that in order to better meet the rapidly growing needs of users, Xiaohongshu will concentrate resources and strength to serve the development of more buyers, managers, businesses and brands in e-commerce. The Welfare Society will stop selling goods on October 16th and officially close its stores on November 16th.

Comments: Regarding the reasons for the closure, some people close to it said that Xiaohongshu would like to concentrate on energy and resources to develop diversified e-commerce in the form of buyers. While closing self-operated e-commerce, Xiaohongshu buyers and live e-commerce have developed rapidly this year. The industry believes that at this stage, under the main strategy of buying a flashlight, Xiaohongshu needs the support of relevant mature teams. It is more critical to concentrate the teams of existing e-commerce companies for investment promotion and drainage, and decentralized forces will blossom more and be insufficient everywhere.

Unity’s announcement of "taxation" based on game downloads caused controversy.

On the evening of September 12th, Unity, a game engine manufacturer, announced in official website that it would levy a runtime fee "Unity Runtime Fee" on eligible game products from January 1st, 2024, with a price range of 0.01-0.2 USD per installation. Unity’s announcement caused a shock in the game circle, and many developers expressed their dissatisfaction on social platforms. Unity said in the latest explanation on September 14th that the Runtime fee model has a high threshold, and more than 90% of customers will not be affected by this change.

Comments: A person in charge of the game studio told CBN that the team is already considering the plan to change the game engine, and a person in charge of the independent game team said that it has not been affected yet, but will pay attention to the domestic engine alternative choice in the future. Some engine industry practitioners believe that the commercialization of public engines has always been very difficult due to the pattern of game engines in the industrial chain, and the income that engine manufacturers can obtain is difficult to match the high investment. From the perspective of outsiders, it is difficult to understand a series of commercial actions and layouts of engine manufacturers, in fact, they are all trying to reshape the commercial value of engines.

Huawei and Xiaomi reach a global patent cross-licensing agreement

On September 13th, Huawei and Xiaomi announced a global patent cross-licensing agreement, which covers communication technologies including 5G. Previously, Huawei and Xiaomi had several entanglements in the patent field. On March 1st this year, according to the information in the Announcement on Acceptance of Administrative Adjudication on Major Patent Infringement Disputes published in the 2nd edition of China Intellectual Property News, Huawei has sued Xiaomi for four patent infringements. Judging from the patent content, the patent dispute mainly involves 4G/LTE technology, mobile phone photography and unlocking technology.

Comments: Earlier, Shen Hongfei, vice president of Huawei’s legal department and director of major projects department, said in an interview that many China companies are participating in the global mainstream patent pool. Usually, large manufacturers are both rights holders and users, so the licenses between large manufacturers are usually cross-licensing. "In the cross-licensing agreement, each party obtains the patent license of the other party, and ultimately which party pays the license fee to the other party depends on the patent value and market conditions of both parties."

This year, the world’s largest IPO was born, and the market value of Arm soared.

On September 14th, local time, Arm, a chip design company of Softbank, was listed on Nasdaq, which not only became the largest IPO in the world this year, but also the largest IPO in the US stock market in the past 16 months.

The subscription of Arm before the public offering was very popular, and it was supported by cornerstone investors including Apple, Google, NVIDIA and TSMC. On the first day of listing, Arm’s share price soared by 25% and its market value rose above $65 billion.

Comments: In 2016, Softbank acquired Arm for $32 billion. Two years ago, Invista planned to acquire Arm for $40 billion. The latest share price shows that Arm is more valuable than ever before. However, Arm faces the risks brought by the decline in the growth of the smartphone market. In order to combat the decline in the field of smart phones, Arm stressed before listing that cloud computing will become the company’s next growth driver.

Kelu Electronics, a subsidiary of Midea Group, set up an energy storage company in the United States.

On September 12th, Kelu Electronics (002121.SZ), a subsidiary of Midea Group’s industrial technology business group, made its debut at the American Photovoltaic Energy Storage Exhibition, and unveiled Kelu American Energy Storage Company. Fu Yongjun, vice president of Midea Group, president of Midea Industrial Technology and chairman of Kelu Electronics, said that energy storage is becoming a breakthrough for Midea Group to cut into the new energy track, and the establishment of Kelu American Energy Storage Company will further narrow the distance between Kelu and the global market including North America.

Comments: As of April 2023, the filing volume of electrochemical energy storage in the United States reached 30.2GW, up 89% year-on-year. The United States is the fastest growing energy storage market except China. In 2023, Midea Group officially controlled Kelu Electronics. Leveraging Midea’s capital and R&D resources, Kelu Electronics has accelerated the development of energy storage business and overseas markets. Not only Midea, but also many China enterprises, such as TCL and Skyworth, which started from home appliance business, are actively laying out the energy storage market.

Wenye Technology acquired Fuchang Electronics for $3.8 billion.

On September 14th, Wenye Technology Co., Ltd. ("Wenye Technology" for short) said that it acquired 100% equity of Canadian IC distributor Future Electronics in an all-cash transaction of $3.8 billion. The delivery of the two companies is expected to be completed in the first half of 2024.

Comments: Gartner’s previously announced ranking of global semiconductor channel sales revenue in 2019 shows that Wenye ranks fourth in the list, while Fuchang Electronics ranks seventh in the list. Through the above acquisition, the industry predicts that the global layout of Wenye Technology’s electronic product line will be further expanded, and it is expected to rank among the top three in the industry.

Previously, the company also acquired Singapore electronic component distribution giant Shijian Technology through a 100% owned subsidiary.

ASML will test new tools in the product line. What’s the next step for EUV lithography?

Recently, Peter Wennink, CEO of ASML, a lithography giant, said that the first testing tool will be launched in its next product line as planned this year. It is understood that this extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) machine with high numerical aperture is only the size of a truck and costs more than 300 million euros each. Top chip manufacturers need these machines so that they can produce smaller and better chips in the next decade.

Comments: In the opinion of analysts, EUV lithography technology is not the only way to advanced manufacturing process. "In the next few years, there may be so-called next-generation lithography technologies, such as NIL (nano-imprint lithography)." Wang Yiyan, head of research department of Yifang Capital, told CBN that the traditional EUV (extreme ultraviolet lithography) mask aligner will encounter its physical limit when manufacturing transistors. The biggest advantage of NIL mask aligner is that the light source is relatively cheap, that is, it is not necessary to use the EUV laser source with low energy conversion efficiency, but only some DUV (deep ultraviolet lithography) or more mature light sources can be combined with nano-coating method to realize the mass production of one to two nanometer processes.

Multi-platform force instant retail

On September 14th, Meituan Flash Shopping said that it would launch seven platform initiatives for businesses, including traffic support, digital system and city team. It’s not just the US group that is targeting the business side. On September 7th, JD.COM released the new system "Hongtu" at home, and launched the "Double Billion Brand Plan" for brand owners, announcing that in 2024, it will help more than 10 brands to break through 1 billion. In addition to the merchant side, the recent platform has also collectively opened a "volume" for the consumer experience. For the upcoming iPhone15, several platforms have slogan such as "Hours".

Comments: From the perspective of the industry, instant retailing is in a stage of rapid development. Instant Retail Industry Research Report (2023) shows that in recent years, instant retail has maintained an average annual growth rate of more than 50%, and it is estimated that the size of instant retail market will reach three times that of 2022 in 2025.

With the development of digital economy, local instant delivery has gradually become a necessity for users and penetrated into all aspects of people’s lives. No matter JD.COM or Meituan, they are constantly upgrading their own performance ability and supporting infrastructure to consolidate their core competitiveness. Platforms also mentioned the instant retail business more in recent financial reports. However, the platform still has a long way to go if it wants to establish a competitive advantage.
