Absrtact: China International Television (China Global Television Network) (hereinafter referred to as CGTN) is a new flagship of international communication created by CCTV. As a window to show the image of China, CGTN has made a series of new explorations and attempts. Combing CGTN’s innovative practices and exploratory practices in external communication, the current international communication pattern and the current situation of China’s external communication is of great benefit to how to continue to take the road of external communication with China characteristics.

Keywords: CGTN；; China media; External dissemination

Communication power determines influence, and discourse power determines initiative. Looking around the world, China is still facing a severe international communication environment. In 1942, lazarsfeld put forward three "effective conditions" to improve the communication effect in The Effect of Broadcasting on Public Opinion. In 1948, it was transformed into three concepts: monopoly, channel and supplement. Based on these three conditions, China’s international communication faces three major dilemmas: first, the pattern of "strong in the west and weak in me" has existed for a long time, which is mainly manifested in the normality of "monopoly" and the lack of "anti-propaganda"; Second, China’s media industry is large in scale and has little influence. Eighty percent of the global information comes from the four major English news agencies, while the global information of Chinese media accounts for only 4%, with insufficient voice channels and poor information communication. Third, the awareness, strategies and skills of cross-cultural communication are relatively scarce.

In his congratulatory letter to the launch of China International Television (China Global Television Network), President Xi stressed that China International Television (China Global Television Network) should strengthen its cultural self-confidence, insist on news establishment, be close to the audience in an all-round way, implement integrated communication, tell the story of China well and spread the voice of China well with rich information, distinctive China perspective and broad world vision, so that the world can know a colorful China and show China’s contribution as a builder of world peace and global development. Therefore, although CGTN has just set sail, it has a high starting point and a heavy mission, and its launch will definitely open up a new situation and bring a new atmosphere to China’s external communication.

First, CGTN: the new flagship of China’s external communication

CGTN was established on the basis of the original CCTV NEWS and other foreign language channels of CCTV. At present, CGTN has formed a global TV network covering 6 TV channels, 1 video news agency, 3 mobile clients and self-media matrix built on various mainstream social platforms. In addition, China Global Radio and Television Co., Ltd. has successfully set up an overall operation system independent of CCTV in terms of content production, media cooperation, introduction of professional talents, overseas branch construction and overseas promotion.

CGTN takes "see the difference" as its core concept, aiming to make the world hear China’s voice, and at the same time, it hopes to tell the story of China in a different way from the traditional one, so that the world can pay attention to the situation in developing regions such as Asia, Africa and Latin America that are ignored by the mainstream western media.

The famous German philosopher Cassirer once said: "Symbolic thinking and symbolic behavior are the most representative features of human life, and all the development of human society depends on these conditions." In different language systems, the process of external communication is "coding (by the communicator)-decoding (by the translator)-decoding (by the receiver)". However, at present, there are still some deficiencies in the selection of symbols, the innovation of communication tools and the compilation and assembly of symbol codes in Chinese media. CGTN has made many pioneering explorations and attempts in view of the difficulties faced by Chinese media in external communication.

Second, the new exploration of external communication: building relationships to aggregate audiences and innovating content to attract audiences.

The latest technologies such as big data, cloud computing, mobile communication and artificial intelligence have profoundly changed the current mode of communication, media structure and audience characteristics, and promoted a new round of reshuffle of the international communication structure in a certain sense. This trend is both an opportunity and a challenge for us. If we can build and make good use of new media positions, we can achieve overtaking in corners in the international communication pattern. Since CGTN’s launch, it has given priority to mobile layout, extensively operated new media, innovated reporting methods and content, and made many beneficial attempts in building a new relationship between transmission and reception and enhancing the attractiveness of reporting content.

(A) the layout of mobile clients and the operation of new media to build a new relationship between transmission and reception.

Seize the position of new media and build an organized communication system. When CGTN was launched, it launched three apps based on different terminals and containing different content functions, and launched them on four platforms including Google play and Amazon. At the same time, it has settled in 10 domestic and foreign social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram. Taking Facebook and Twitter as examples, CGTN has opened several sub-accounts in France, Africa and the United States in addition to the main account, forming a huge social media communication matrix. CGTN mobile news network, news client and social account promote and take care of each other in the daily dissemination and release process, and can be linked to other platforms through any platform. In addition, within the same social platform, there are frequent exchanges and interactions between the main account and each sub-account, and each account has a relatively dense "mutual powder" and a high-density information forwarding frequency, forming a relatively complete organizational communication system architecture.

Divide the functions of various media, and focus communication can meet different needs. In view of the fact that the target audience is young overseas groups, and their cultural background, acceptance habits and information needs are greatly different, CGTN is committed to mass communication and defines its functional orientation. For example, as an information integrated client, the mobile client caters to the audience’s reading habits and meets the audience’s demand for news; CGTNLIVE focuses on meeting the audience’s demand for watching live video. In addition, on the social media platform, CGTN also adopts a differentiated communication strategy to expand the information coverage and satisfy the audience in all directions. Taking Twitter platform as an example, CGTN’s Twitter accounts are mainly divided into two categories, one is the official account, and the other is the private account of CGTN’s anchor or reporter. Official accounts are divided into main accounts and accounts in different languages, mainly to meet the information needs of multinational audiences, and the number of "following" accounts in various languages even exceeds the main account; Private accounts are more flexible and lively, and often publish stories behind the news desk, share the feelings of hosting interviews, and comment on hot events.

Maintain platform activity and continuously enhance user stickiness. CGTN client pushes and updates news from China and other parts of the world to users in real time. The number of daily news updates in the political section is more than 30, and the rest sections are maintained at more than 10 every day. At the same time, the client also sorted out the most important, most read and favorite news rankings for the audience, so as to facilitate the audience to grasp the core news information in time. The number of posts and the number of followers are important factors to measure the activity of social media accounts, from which the audience aggregation ability can be inferred. CGTN’s main Twitter account has 2.69 million followers, and there are about 20 daily tweets. Each tweet is retweeted and quoted more than 50 times, and the proportion of original tweets is high. And also actively participate in the discussion of topics with China’s "Hashtags". Facebook’s main account has reached 48 million followers, 49 million like users, more than 30 daily posts, and more than 10,000 users left "mood" in one third of posts.

(2) Innovating information presentation methods and optimizing news reports to enhance user stickiness.

The way of reporting adopts the means of integrating media to realize multimedia interaction. Judging from CGTN’s recent operation and information released to the outside world, the reporting forms are diverse and rich, and news information is collected at one time, generated in multiple ways and disseminated in multiple ways; A piece of news mostly integrates words, pictures, videos and tables, and interprets the information in an all-round way, highlighting its visualization, enhancing its readability and satisfying readers’ selectivity. Virtual technology is high-end, multi-dimensional and augmented reality. According to reports, CGTN Studio, located on the third floor of CCTV headquarters building, adopts a brand-new plasma splicing large screen with ultra-high definition resolution and ion resolution, which can meet the long-term live broadcast application; Use advanced technologies such as online virtual, AR, virtual tracking, and use big data to present the synchronous interaction between viewers and programs in real time. The technological development at the level of artifacts is the material basis for external communication, and the high-end presentation of content+technology and news information is conducive to attracting young audiences.

The content of the report adheres to the original criteria and actively sets the topic. For the first time, the original interactive page of current affairs reports was set up, and the major current affairs hotspots in China were pushed in the form of thematic classification to realize the characteristic reports of China stories; Integrating political, economic, cultural, social, educational and scientific fields, insisting on originality, enriching content and creating fine products, CGTN’s window to the international market has been fully opened. To publicize and explain the characteristics of China, the key is to make clear the historical tradition, cultural accumulation and basic national conditions. In this regard, CGTN took the initiative to set the topic, and opened many windows such as "Trending Stories of 2016" to describe the true appearance of China to the world: profound cultural traditions, deep spiritual pursuit, far-reaching development path and deep national complex.

In order to pursue the effective landing of external communication, we must first cross the communication barriers, skillfully use explanatory words, make good use of corrective words, dispel doubts and doubts, and respond to rectification. CGTN reports in English, speaks with facts, and provides special live broadcast platforms, including English channel, Spanish channel, French channel and Russian channel. CGTN is committed to the dialectical interaction between "local internationalization" and "international localization", and is committed to the focused communication of "international expression of China news" and "China perspective of international news", which has laid a good foundation for cross-cultural communication.

Third, the new idea of external communication: build a flagship brand, improve the organizational system, pay attention to mass communication and expand media services.

To take the road of external communication well, we should not only proceed from the overall situation, but also proceed from the details. At present, the Internet has subverted the international communication pattern and communication ecology dominated by traditional media. If CGTN wants to become a world-class brand media, it must proceed from reality, make diversified self-creation and self-polishing in concepts, theories, business and management, and constantly meet the needs of international communication competition.

(A) to establish brand awareness, establish a larger logo system.

The international communication ability of domestic media is not that the larger the scale, the better the communication effect; Instead, we must find our own position and establish brand awareness. At present, it is conscious and difficult for mainstream media in China to build brands. It is mentioned that the mainstream media in the world, such as BBC, are models of public service; CNN, positioned as "being the first person to know"; Al Jazeera declared, "If everyone watches CNN, what is CNN watching? They are watching Al Jazeera "; When it comes to the mainstream media in China, the international audience and even the major western communication scholars interviewed, they can’t think of proper positioning words. CGTN puts forward the slogan of "See the difference" in a high-profile way, but on the road of innovation, how to avoid falling into convergence needs to find another way.

In the process of CGTN gradually forming scale, on the basis of cross-cultural communication, it is necessary to accurately locate and design sound logo, text logo, image logo, behavior logo and thinking logo with high "return rate" and low "bounce rate" to form its own unique brand recognition system.

(B) improve the new media communication system to attract more young overseas audiences.

At present, the layout of CGTN’s mobile terminals and social media has been basically completed, and the organizational structure is relatively complete, which has achieved good communication effects. However, compared with powerful media such as CNN and The New York Times, there is still a big gap, which is mainly manifested in the single attribute division of self-media accounts, and the weak ability to predict and plan news hot events.

To this end, CGTN should first strengthen the construction of multi-attribute social media accounts. At present, CGTN’s social accounts are mainly institutional accounts. In order to narrow the distance with the audience, we should also focus on building individual accounts and transactional accounts. The construction of individual accounts should be based on the personal accounts of CGTN’s influential anchors, journalists and commentators, promote and recommend each other through packaging publicity and matrix effect from the media, and then increase the voice of hot topics, enhance their popularity through interaction with internationally renowned media people and media organizations, and gradually cultivate a group of influential "international opinion leaders" to enhance CGTN’s public opinion guidance in the media platform.

The construction of transaction account is closely related to CGTN’s ability to participate in hot events in the international community, especially those involving China. In the new media era when the audience’s attention is increasingly limited, hot emergencies or even public opinion crises are the best time to enhance and show their influence. Therefore, when international hot events happen, CGTN, as the flagship of China’s international publicity, can’t just participate in the discussion of topics with "Hashtags" on the social media stage, but should build relevant accounts, actively release information, set the agenda, guide public opinion, interact with institutional accounts and individual accounts, and truly get involved in hot events in an all-round, multi-level and wide-ranging way.

(C) pay attention to cross-cultural communication and make information products suitable for foreign media communication.

"Media is an extension of human beings", and human understanding of the world depends on all kinds of media. To achieve effective cross-cultural communication, the key is to attach importance to the construction of the discourse system of foreign communication; The key to making information products suitable for foreign media communication is to create new concepts, new categories and new expressions that integrate China and foreign countries, so that "China Voice" can not only be heard, but also put into the brain and heart, and realize the multi-level communication of China’s story by "shaping others". Language is the first priority in building a discourse system with China characteristics, so CGTN needs to assemble a group of outstanding foreign translators, improve the theoretical literacy and media literacy of foreign translators, accurately understand Chinese and Western cultures, and objectively express the original intention of discourse; In terms of language expression skills, in order to attract young overseas audiences, "storytelling" should follow the logical thinking mode of the target audience, innovate the expression mode, narrow the distance with overseas audiences with humanization and closeness, and achieve the communication effect of "salt in water".

(D) Develop media service functions to meet the more professional information needs of the audience.

In the era of all-media, the main body of news communication is gradually generalized, and it is difficult for professional news communication organizations to attract audiences only by news business. Western international communication giants have begun to shift their main business from news business to providing information services to provide more accurate, professional and high-quality information to core audiences. This behavior of western communication giants is driven by market and capital, which is the only way for them to seek economic benefits. However, in this process, they have successfully gathered audiences and expanded their influence and communication power, which is of reference significance to CGTN, which aims to spread China’s voice and strive for the right to speak internationally.

In terms of providing media services, according to the platform characteristics and resource advantages of CGTN, the following services can be developed: First, in terms of content collection, information and data analysis services mainly aimed at the China market are provided by screening news information. To provide real-time financial information, price information and market changes for financial investment individuals and groups concerned about China’s market and policies, and provide information support for investors’ decision-making. Second, in content production, according to the audience’s needs and feedback, we regularly select CGTN’s popular, original and in-depth features, comments and other high-quality content, breaking the current traditional division of political, economic, social and other sectors, so as to aggregate high-quality content and aggregate the audience. Thirdly, in terms of content innovation, soft content is used to dig deep into vertical areas, such as adding channels such as China cuisine, Chinese clothes and China tourism, which will trigger discussion on related topics and stimulate readers’ interest in reading. In the future, CGTN can develop more clients based on media services and related vertical content, because clients with different functions have greater audience demand and stronger user stickiness.

T57 flight attendants receive pennants.

　　Recently, T57 arrived at Tianjin Station, the terminal station. After confirming that all the passengers had got off, He Peichen, the flight attendant of No.7 train, started to tidy up the carriage. He found a black backpack in No.59 seat of No.7 train, and he hurriedly handed it to the train conductor. The train conductor and the police chief opened the backpack together and checked it. The bag contained a laptop, 700 yuan cash and a bid-winning contract of 7 million yuan. The train conductor said that this careless passenger lost such an important thing, which might be extremely anxious.

　　However, after T58 turned back from tianjin railway station to drive, no passengers came to look for this backpack. Sun Gewen, the train captain, thought it best to check the passenger’s phone number and return the backpack to the passenger as soon as possible, so he opened the backpack again, carefully checked the documents and papers in the bag, and found a phone bill and the user’s name in a pile of documents.

　　Captain Sun tried to get through the phone according to the phone number on the bill: "Is that Mr. Gao?" I am the conductor of T57. Did you take our train today? "

　　"Uh-huh, yes! I took the T57 train in the morning and took the bus from Xingtai to Langfang North. Why? "

　　"Did you leave something in our car?"

　　"Let me see, yes, yes, I drank a little more last night. I got off the bus and went home to sleep. I haven’t found it yet. I remember that one of my black backpacks is missing. Did I leave it in your car?"

　　"I found the bag. What’s in it?"

　　After the owner’s accurate answer to the contents of the bag, the train conductor basically confirmed that Mr. Gao had lost the backpack. Mr. Gao said that he had drunk too much. If the conductor hadn’t called, he didn’t know when or where the bag was lost. On the phone, Mr. Gao thanked the train conductor and the flight attendant of No.7 train again and again, and said that 700 yuan cash in the bag would be used as a thank-you gift. The train conductor refused, saying that every passenger service is what every flight attendant should do.

　　The next day, when Mr. Gao saw that his backpack and all the items in it, especially the important contract, were intact, he picked up the phone again and expressed his gratitude to the train conductor, thanking him and flight attendant No.7 for saving him huge losses.

　　Afterwards, Sun Gewen, the train captain, reminded the passengers through reporters that travelers must take care of their belongings and luggage to avoid losing and causing unnecessary losses. Railway passenger flight attendants are busy day and night on the thousand-mile railway line. While serving the passengers enthusiastically, they are also carefully caring for the safety of every passenger. (Text/Wang Jianbo, Li Jing)

In the past two years, the variety market "occupied" by group idols and variety coffee has finally ushered in some new faces.

Singer Charlie taught vocal skills to the contestants in Creation Camp 2021, and officially announced to join "Go online!"! Huacai Junior became the official of Huacai Online, and in the upcoming new issue of Happy Camp, he also joined as a guest and made a contribution to the audience.

Looking back on the variety market in the past two years, Charlie frequently brushed his face in major programs, showed his singing skills and created variety topics through various stage performances, which was dubbed by netizens as "variety coffee delayed by singing". So why can Charlie become a hot variety guest in the variety market where guests are constantly changing?

Become a frequent visitor to variety shows

Charlie is known as a "model worker"

At present, "depression" is still a key word in the mainland music scene. In particular, due to the impact of the epidemic, offline concerts, live performances and other activities have been suspended on a large scale, which has affected many singers and musicians. For singers, how to maintain exposure and attention is a particularly important thing, and variety shows with different styles and different positioning have become a good choice.

More and more singers are keen to participate in variety shows. For example, Hua Chenyu acted as a fixed MC in Ace to Ace, contributing a lot of jokes, while Angela Zhang made brilliant performances in Classic Chanting 4 and Praise for Songs. Among many singers, Charlie is obviously the most active one.

In 2020, Charlie was called "model worker" by many audiences. He has participated in TV variety "Singer’s Year of Playing", "Our Song" and "Travel Notes of Youth Circle 2", and the online comprehensive "Exciting offer2", "Summer of the Band 2" and "The Band Season of Tomorrow".

Charlie has participated in the variety inventory since 2020.

According to incomplete statistics, Charlie participated in 23 variety shows in less than one and a half years, among which, 8 shows, such as The Great Wall, Travel Notes around Youth, and Novice Arrive, were permanent guests, and the rest were flying guests.

Judging from the types of programs he participated in, he can not only perform on the stage in music programs such as Singer’s Year of Playing, Tomorrow’s Son’s Season 4, but also perform brilliantly in outdoor reality shows such as Travel Notes around Youth and The Great Wall, and most of these programs are the head content of brand variety shows or video websites of First-line TV. His lively personality and natural expression make him a hot announcement king.

Besides variety shows, Charlie is also a very sought-after "hot potato" in the New Year’s concerts on various platforms that test the popularity of stars. On the New Year’s Eve in 2021, Charlie shuttled to CCTV, bilibili, CCTV, Jiangsu Satellite TV and Beijing Satellite TV, and showed the audience a "depth-dividing technique".

Charlie made her debut in the third season of The Voice of China in 2014. But soon, the fame brought by the draft was drowned by waves of new people. After a few years, Charlie, like many draft singers, became a "small transparency" in the entertainment circle. In May, 2016, the national wind song "Big Fish" swept the major music platforms, and Charlie also gained some popularity with this song. Since then, although he has also participated in Jiangsu Satellite TV’s "Masked Singer Guess" and Tencent’s video "I Love the Second Yuan", it has always been tepid.

In 2018, Charlie stepped onto the stage of Sound Into People’s Hearts. Her soft voice and clear voice conquered the hearts of the producers, and Liao Changyong, a leading figure in the bel canto world, praised her as natural. With the increasing popularity of the show, Charlie also began to gain a large number of fans. After years of polishing in the music world, he finally gained a certain popularity.

In 2020, Charlie joined two music variety shows, Our Song and Singer’s Year of Playing. With a recognizable voice and just the right sense of variety, he sent topics such as # Charlie Monster# and # Charlie’s Back to the White Wall Live Competition # to Weibo Hot Search. While harvesting a large number of fans, he has also become a frequent visitor to major variety shows and an artist with rising exposure among singers.

In fact, singers and actors often have problems such as lack of sense of variety and unpleasant people when they participate in variety shows. However, Charlie’s performance in variety shows was remarkable and was welcomed by the audience.

On the one hand, Charlie has outstanding strength in the professional field. In Our Song, Charlie and Hacken Lee formed a "diligent and deep" combination, unique interpretation and tacit cooperation, and finally won the "Golden Voice Partner"; In Classic Chanting 3, as a classic singer, he brought a poem "Touching Fish and Yanqiu Ci". Kang Zhen, an appreciation group, said, "We are always so busy in life and work, and when we hear voices like nature, we feel that the whole person seems to have been liberated."

On the other hand, Charlie has excellent ability of throwing stalks and grafting stalks in variety shows. For some singers and actors who lack variety experience, it is not difficult to get rid of the idol burden, but for Charlie, it doesn’t seem to be a difficult thing, such as telling jokes, producing expression packs and imitating performances.

In Travel Notes of Youth Circle 2, Charlie’s partner Yang Di imitated CoCo Lee’s "Tick-tock" rollover scene, which triggered the hilarity of the guests on the scene; In "Creation Camp 2021", he is also full of golden sentences. The contestant introduced himself that the best result in the long jump was 7.4 meters. Charlie teased in surprise that 7.4 meters was five selves. When he saw the contestant singing too hard, he also laughed that it was a man with a barrage on his face, and the program was full.

To sum up, excellent talent, high cooperation and high cost performance may be the reasons why Charlie has become a frequent visitor to variety shows.

Being questioned as "doing nothing"

How can singers make good use of the "double-edged sword" of variety show?

Variety shows provide artists with a platform to show themselves, which improves the popularity and exposure of artists. For example, although singer Mao has released a new album, held an online concert and won many music awards in the past two years, according to Baidu index, his personal popularity peak is still during his participation in "The Year of Singer". However, when an artist frequently appears in a studio that is not related to his career, he will always receive questions about "doing nothing", whether it is an actor or a singer.

Frequent appearances in variety shows have triggered a "war" between fans and artists. Last year, Allen’s fans made a long speech in Weibo, saying that it took about 50 days to shoot in a year, but they took over four variety shows, and their main work revolved around variety shows; Justin, who debuted as a member of NINE PERCENT Men’s Team, was also questioned as a "variety coffee" by participating in the variety show "Saving the Country by Curves" after the dissolution of the group.

In the eyes of many fans, frequent participation in variety shows constantly consumes the "mystery" of artists, and a little carelessness in the program will also affect the reputation that artists have accumulated. After participating in more than 20 variety shows in succession, Charlie seems to have begun to face the same question of "doing nothing". Some netizens think that he is gradually losing his original intention as a singer, and some netizens call for him to stop being a variety coffee.

Has Zhou Shen been delayed by the variety show? In the past year, Charlie released 32 original songs and 40 arranged songs, which is equivalent to releasing more than two original songs in one month. However, although the number is considerable, in the audience’s impression, apart from the "Big Fish" a few years ago, there are not many original songs that he really made a circle. Most of the hot searches are scenes of his cover songs in variety shows and parties.

For a singer, spending a lot of time on variety shows is, to some extent, an excessive consumption. However, in the era of traffic, almost every singer who participated in variety shows got more opportunities to be exposed after having a certain degree of popularity, which helped him to go further.

The broadcast of "Summer of the Band" made the new pants band enter the public’s sight; Liu Mintao’s chorus "Do you want to dance" broke the dimensional wall, and "Guest" and "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" brought a high-burning stage and received many commercial advertisements; With variety shows such as "The Masked Singer Will Guess" and "The Voice from Heaven", Angela Zhang, who has been against the music scene for many years, has also ushered in the second spring of his career.

Variety traffic is undoubtedly a "double-edged sword" for singers. It is the original intention of many singers to participate in the program to gain popularity by participating in variety shows and return to music creation when the time is ripe. However, after getting used to the lively laughter of variety shows and the rapidly growing popularity, it is probably a big test for many singers to return to the initial heart of music creation. In the face of the double-edged sword of variety show, singers should really think about how to grasp it.

On June 5th, the medical staff of Nanhe District People’s Hospital in Xingtai City, Hebei Province went deep into the countryside to carry out free clinic activities at the grassroots level, and examined the eyes of the villagers in Sushi Zhang Cun, Jiasong Town. Xinhua News Agency (photo by Zhang Chi)

　　90% families can reach the nearest medical point within 15 minutes, and basically all cities and counties (cities, districts) will carry out family doctor contract service … … The National Health and Wellness Commission held a press conference on July 14th to introduce the progress and effectiveness of primary health care services since the 18th CPC National Congress. A set of numbers reflects the changes in these 10 years.

　　There are over 4.4 million primary medical and health personnel.

　　By the end of 2021, there were nearly 980,000 grass-roots medical and health institutions in China, with more than 4.4 million health workers, achieving full coverage of streets, communities, towns and villages. The sixth statistical survey of health services shows that 90% of families can reach the nearest medical point within 15 minutes.

　　In 2012, there were more than 910,000 primary medical and health institutions and about 3.4 million health workers.

　　In addition, in the past 10 years, the number of beds in primary medical and health institutions has increased from more than 1.32 million to more than 1.71 million, and the number of medical practitioners and assistant medical practitioners in primary medical and health personnel has increased from 1.009 million to 1.615 million.

　　In Xishui County, Zunyi City, Guizhou Province, since the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", the county has increased the establishment of 1,200 health technicians, and 200 undergraduate and above personnel are openly recruited every year to enrich the county and township medical institutions. Ran Chongqing, the county magistrate of Xishui County, said that up to now, a total of 1.8 billion yuan has been invested in the standardization construction of tertiary medical institutions in counties and villages, and the service capacity at the grassroots level has been greatly improved, and the rate of medical treatment in the county has reached 92.6%.

　　"The network of primary medical and health institutions has been continuously improved, the capacity of primary medical and health services has been continuously enhanced, and the new operating mechanism of primary medical and health institutions has been improved." Nie Chunlei, director of the grassroots department of the National Health and Wellness Commission, said.

　　The proportion of primary diagnosis and treatment has remained above 50% for a long time.

　　"Strengthening the grassroots" is an important principle and work content for deepening the reform of medical and health system. According to reports, the current proportion of primary medical treatment has remained above 50% for a long time.

　　Nie Chunlei introduced that in order to continuously improve the capacity of primary health care services, the National Health and Wellness Commission has successively carried out activities such as "creating a demonstration community health service center", "township hospitals satisfied by the masses" and "providing quality services at the grass-roots level", introduced the capacity standards of health centers and community health service centers, improved the basic infrastructure conditions, and upgraded facilities and equipment. At present, all eligible grass-roots institutions are included in the new rural cooperative medical system, urban and rural residents’ medical insurance and urban workers’ medical insurance.

　　In view of the phenomenon that the proportion of outpatients in primary medical and health service institutions has declined in recent years, Nie Chunlei said that the actual number of outpatients is still rising, and the measurement of primary medical and health institutions depends on comprehensive service capabilities, including normalized epidemic prevention and control and other public health service capabilities.

　　Set up 320,000 village (neighborhood) public health committees.

　　It is reported that at present, 320,000 village (neighborhood) public health committees have been set up in China to lay a solid foundation for community prevention and control of the epidemic in COVID-19.

　　The epidemic situation is a "big test". Since the outbreak, China’s basic medical and health institutions have played the role of "sentinel" and "probe" on the basis of completing basic medical services, and undertaken a large number of epidemic prevention and control work such as screening, transshipment, epidemic adjustment, nucleic acid sampling and vaccination.

　　This is also a microcosm of the improvement of grassroots public health service capacity. "Every year, hundreds of millions of hypertensive patients and more than 35 million diabetic patients need their follow-up, more than 10 million pregnant women and newborns need their visits, tens of millions of children need their vaccination services, and more than 100 million elderly people aged 65 and over need health checkups … …” Nie Chunlei said that the service capacity of primary health care institutions is steadily improving.

　　Set up more than 420,000 family doctors.

　　By the end of 2021, all cities and counties (cities, districts) in China have basically implemented family doctor contract services and established more than 420,000 family doctor teams.

　　"After signing the family doctor service, residents can get basic medical care, preventive health care and health guidance." Zhang Yalan, director of the South Mill Community Health Service Center in Chaoyang District, Beijing, introduced.

　　Taking Chaoyang District as an example, the "1+6+N" characteristic family doctor contract service model is implemented: 1. Basic service package, suitable for the general population, which mainly includes basic medical care, public health and general health management; 6 is a personalized service package, which is mainly aimed at key groups, such as follow-up of patients with chronic diseases, health care for women and children, physical examination for the elderly, etc. N is a customized service package, which is aimed at special people recognized by civil affairs, disabled persons’ federations and other departments and can enjoy on-site service.

　　"However, family doctors are not home doctors or private doctors." Zhang Yalan said that the contract service of family doctors is actually a change in service mode, and it advocates a long-term and stable contract service relationship, which can provide medical and health services including long-term prescriptions for key people such as contracted residents, especially chronic patients and the elderly.

Chengdu data group unveiled

In 2022, the added value of Chengdu’s digital economy core industries was 277.951 billion yuan, accounting for 13.4% of the city’s regional GDP, up 0.3 percentage points from the same period of last year, accounting for 64.3% of the added value of the province’s digital economy core industries.

In the digital age, behind the continuous development of new infrastructure, industrial digitalization and digital industrialization in Chengdu, what new opportunities are there for Chengdu’s digital economy?

Look at the bottom spirit:

Chengdu’s digital development ability ranks sixth in China and first in new first-tier cities.

On July 5th, Chengdu Data Group was officially inaugurated. Under this background, Chengdu Canada has taken a key step to accelerate the cultivation of data factor market, promote the development of digital economy, and help the industry to build a strong chain and the digital transformation of the city.

A glimpse of autumn, from the establishment of Chengdu Data Group, where does Chengdu’s confidence come from, chasing the blue ocean of digital economy?

According to the Research Report on the Development of Digital Economy in China in 2022, Chengdu ranks sixth in the list of the top 100 digital economy cities in 2022, following Shenzhen, Hangzhou and Guangzhou in the north, and ranks first in the new first-tier cities.

Entering the computer room of the artificial intelligence computing platform of Chengdu Intelligent Computing Center, the indicator light of the cabinet server flashes alternately. On the side of each cabinet, there is a red "Tiangong" logo. This is the "super brain" of Chengdu Intelligent Computing Center. As the hub node of Chengdu-Chongqing National Integrated Big Data Center, the computing power of Chengdu Intelligent Computing Center reaches 300 PFLOPS, which can be used for the cutting-edge research of artificial intelligence technology innovation.

In addition, as early as 2021, Chengdu’s software and information service cluster was selected as the winner list of the advanced manufacturing cluster of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which means that Chengdu undertakes the national mission of participating in global competition and cooperation on behalf of China.

In the same year, Chengdu National Pilot Zone of Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Application was unveiled in Chengdu High-tech Zone, and six major artificial intelligence projects, including the National Industrial Cloud Manufacturing Innovation Center, were settled in Chengdu High-tech Zone, with a total investment of 3.25 billion yuan. The highest computing speed of Chengdu Supercomputing Center reaches 1 billion times per second, and its computing power ranks among the top ten in the world, which has also become an important information infrastructure supporting the development of digital economy.

The continuous improvement of the digital foundation also breeds the development opportunities of Chengdu. Sino-German cooperative intelligent networked automobile and vehicle networking standards and test verification pilot demonstration projects, such as Sichuan Experimental Base, National Digital Service Export Base, China (Chengdu) Ultra-high Definition Innovation and Application Industrial Base, have brought new opportunities for digital new infrastructure, which has brought "opportunities" for Chengdu to seize the new track.

Starting from the policy, Chengdu has also been building a solid foundation for digital development. This year’s work report of the Chengdu Municipal Government clearly stated that the construction of the core area of the National Digital Economy Innovation and Development Experimental Zone should be deepened, the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy should be promoted, and the added value of the core industries of the digital economy should be increased to more than 14% of the regional GDP.

It is worth mentioning that the Third Plenary Session of the 14th Chengdu Municipal Committee held last week also proposed to strengthen the base of new infrastructure, promote the construction of smart transportation, smart energy and digital municipal services, create a smart Rongcheng application scenario and build a "digital twin city".

Grasp the implementation:

More than 2,000 national high-tech enterprises have been newly cultivated this year.

Chengdu’s "14th Five-Year Plan for Digital Economy Development" points out that by 2035, Chengdu should have strong and sustainable digital technology innovation strategy capability and digital economy innovation vitality, and build a new highland of digital economy with international competitiveness in an all-round way.

From a macro point of view, at present, Chengdu is taking the opportunity of building a national digital economy innovation and development experimental zone, focusing on the transformation of production technology from traditional "hard" elements to new "soft" elements based on "cloud, network, terminal and number", and making efforts to create a new engine of digital economy development through the two-wheel drive of "digital industrialization" and "industrial digitalization" to empower the high-quality development of urban economy and society.

Previously, Chengdu has vigorously promoted the pilot application of industrial Internet, digital workshops and smart factories, so as to promote the digital transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry.

Among them, Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group, Jiwei IOT and Alibaba Cloud cooperated to build the first "steel brain" in China; Chengdu Zhongdian Panda Display Technology Co., Ltd. achieved a monthly production capacity of 140,000 display screens through industrial internet technology without increasing hardware investment, which was 20,000 more than the designed production capacity, with a vertical increase of 15% and an increase of 25% in operational efficiency.

Based on the current situation, what are the highlights of digital construction in Chengdu?

At the Third Plenary Session of the 14th Chengdu Municipal Committee, Wang Fengjun, Party Secretary and Director of Chengdu Development and Reform Commission, proposed to accelerate the construction of Chengdu-Chongqing (Xinglong Lake) comprehensive science center scheme and major scientific and technological infrastructure layout, and create an innovative source of service strategy rear area construction.

He revealed that the plan of Chengdu-Chongqing Comprehensive Science Center has been completed, and Chengdu will build a high-end innovation resource bearing place and a major original innovation source around the advantageous fields such as aerospace, advanced energy, information technology and life sciences.

Not only that, but also promote the development of 28 key industrial chains in 8 industrial ecological circles, focus on the future industrial forward-looking layout of new tracks, accelerate the shaping of new advantages, and build a modern industrial system led by scientific and technological innovation.

"This year, more than 2,000 national high-tech enterprises have been newly cultivated, more than 50 national specialized and innovative" little giant "enterprises, more than 300 new industrial enterprises, more than 500 service enterprises, more than 20,000 new Shangyun enterprises and more than 15 newly listed enterprises." Wang Fengjun said.

Look at opportunities:

Deep integration of digital technology and real economy

Vertically subdivide service scenarios base on computing power

Under the influence of the digital age, in the eyes of entrepreneurs in the digital field, what new opportunities are there for Chengdu’s digital economy?

On July 10th, the cover journalist interviewed Yuan Haojie, deputy general manager of Chengdu Gaoxin Vision Digital Technology Co., Ltd., and made relevant suggestions for speeding up the digital transformation of Chengdu.

From the establishment of the New Economic Development Committee five years ago, to the proposal of building a smart city, and then to the release of the list of opportunities for cities with smart cities, the construction of digital economy in Chengdu is imperative, and it also gives birth to new opportunities for development.

"The deep integration of digital technology and real economy is a great opportunity for the development of Chengdu’s digital economy. For example, Smart Rongcheng integrates traditional urban governance and digital technology to form a two-wheel drive model of technology and business."

Yuan Haojie said that this will also give birth to new business models such as smart business districts.

In addition, using the Internet of Things to build a smart Rongcheng, Chengdu has formed a good model. "A large number of Internet of Things technologies are used to achieve urban management through some sensor devices and to achieve refined governance of megacities. In the next step, Chengdu can lead enterprises out of Sichuan and create more development opportunities. "

"The combination of new energy and artificial intelligence will also be a good direction." He said that through artificial intelligence technology, intelligent power generation and energy storage can be realized, and intelligent services can be provided for transportation and home. In the long run, it is also a deep combination of digital economy and double carbon targets, providing new ideas for environmental protection.

In Yuan Haojie’s view, although the digital economy is a new thing, it has experienced long-term exploration, including the establishment of the National Data Bureau at the beginning of this year, which also provides a top-level design for the further growth and explosion of the digital economy in the future.

Based on the reality of Chengdu’s digital economy, where is the future focus?

"In addition to the digital super-large model construction, we can also vertically subdivide the service field based on the current computing power advantage of Chengdu. For example, for government affairs or people’s livelihood service scenarios, some solutions can be quickly formed according to actual needs to make digital construction more precise, personalized and practical. At the same time, attract more enterprises to join and make digital services bigger and stronger. " According to Yuan Haojie, there are currently two national innovation centers in Chengdu, Supercomputing and Intelligent Computing, which have laid a good foundation for further providing better digital service scenarios.

In addition, it is necessary to further explore the integration of public service data resources, and consider how to accelerate the integration of public data such as education, health, transportation, and cultural tourism to promote the development of digital economy while ensuring data security and protecting privacy rights. "Data is the hub of digital development. For example, Chengdu Data Group, which was just established last week, can provide a data base for the future construction of various fields in Chengdu and lay a solid foundation for development."

"At present, the supply of talents in Chengdu is abundant. How to turn the’ big market’ of talents into a’ strong market’ of talents, give full play to the ability of existing talents, and attract more talents in the head field such as artificial intelligence to come to Chengdu and stay in Chengdu, which requires continuing to improve the corresponding talent policy." He said that talent is a "think tank" for the development of digital economy, and special attention should be paid to it.

"The current digitalization process in Chengdu can be said to be a stage of large-scale expansion or deep application." In Yuan Haojie’s view, Chengdu’s digitalization process has entered the first phalanx in the country, and it has a good development direction and motivation both now and in the future.

　　[Introduction] Vanke’s revenue in the first three quarters was nearly 219.9 billion yuan and 113,000 suites were delivered.

　　On the evening of October 30th, Vanke Enterprise Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Vanke) released its report for the third quarter of 2024. According to the third quarterly report, Vanke’s revenue in the first nine months was 219.89 billion yuan, and all public bonds were paid during the year.

　　Vanke’s revenue in the first nine months was 219.89 billion yuan.

　　The data shows that from January to September this year, Vanke’s accumulated operating income was 219.89 billion yuan; The net loss attributable to shareholders of listed companies was 17.94 billion yuan.

　　Among them, Vanke achieved operating income of 77.12 billion yuan in the third quarter; The net loss attributable to shareholders of listed companies is 8.09 billion yuan.

　　Regarding this performance loss, Vanke explained in the quarterly report that it was mainly due to the decline in the settlement scale and gross profit margin of development business, provision for impairment, some non-main financial investment losses, and the transaction price of some assets and equity was lower than the book value.

　　According to the announcement, from January to September, the gross profit margin of Vanke’s real estate development business was 8.3% before tax, 2.7% after deducting taxes and surcharges, 9.5% before tax and 4.9% after tax.

　　In fact, under the deep adjustment of the industry, the loss of housing enterprises is a common phenomenon, and the current first priority of housing enterprises is to ensure the safety of cash flow. According to the incomplete statistics in the semi-annual report period, over 60% of listed housing enterprises suffered losses, and the accumulated losses exceeded 100 billion yuan.

　　"In the case that the market scale has shrunk significantly in the past two years, full sales means trading at a price, and asset transactions have to be sold at a loss. The price of survival with a broken arm is often a big loss. In addition, the high-priced and restrictive land used in the high-speed development stage has further squeezed profits. Under the superposition of various factors, losses are more common. " A capital market person said.

　　All public bonds have been paid this year.

　　The third quarterly report shows that during the reporting period, Vanke continued to carry out its work around "guaranteeing the delivery of houses, guaranteeing payment, and transforming high-quality development".

　　In terms of delivery, in the first three quarters, Vanke completed the delivery of 113,000 suites on schedule with good quality, continued to promote the work of handing over certificates upon delivery, promoted property services in 51 large-scale projects, improved community business, transportation and education facilities, and created a community atmosphere. The increase in occupancy rate also promoted project sales.

　　It is understood that Vanke’s sales in the first three quarters exceeded 180 billion yuan, which outperformed the market. During the year, all new investment projects achieved 100% cash opening. Since 2023, the inventory capacity has exceeded 47 billion. After a series of policies were introduced at the end of September, Vanke also actively grasped market opportunities and achieved hot sales in many places.

　　It is understood that in recent years, Vanke has actively developed cutting-edge products that adapt to urban development trends, achieving hot sales in many first-tier and provincial capital cities, and its sales have remained at the forefront of the industry.

　　As a head housing enterprise, Vanke’s cash flow and financing situation have also received much attention from the market. In terms of public debt payment, in the third quarter, the Group achieved a net operating cash flow of 330 million yuan, which has remained positive since the second quarter.

　　According to the third quarterly report, as of the end of September, Vanke had completed the repayment of 19.7 billion yuan of public debt, and repaid about 70 billion yuan of interest-bearing debt in the first three quarters. There were no domestic and foreign public bonds due during the year.

　　Vanke said that during the reporting period, the Group took various measures to promote payment and ensure the smooth payment of public debts, including insisting on active sales, revitalizing existing resources, promoting bulk asset transactions and expanding asset withdrawal channels.

　　Among them, in terms of expanding asset exit channels, Vanke and CITIC and Taikang jointly established CITIC Vanke Consumer Infrastructure Pre-REIT Fund, and signed contracts for Shenzhen Longgang Vanke Plaza and Beijing Jiugong Vanke Plaza projects.

　　By the end of September, Vanke’s interest-bearing liabilities totaled 327.61 billion yuan, of which interest-bearing liabilities for more than one year accounted for 64.4%; The net debt ratio was 66.2%, and the asset-liability ratio excluding advance receipts was 65.4%, down 0.1 percentage point from the beginning of the year; The monetary funds held are 79.75 billion yuan.

　　On the whole, insiders pointed out that in the first three quarters of this year, in the face of the deep adjustment of the market, Vanke made full efforts to achieve both "guaranteed delivery" and "guaranteed payment".

　　The latest disclosure of the three main businesses

　　In April this year, Vanke proposed to focus on three main businesses: comprehensive residential development, property services and rental apartments. The latest third quarterly report also disclosed the status quo of these three main businesses.

　　According to the third quarterly report, in terms of real estate development, in the third quarter, Vanke achieved a contracted sales area of 3.913 million square meters and a contracted sales amount of 53.87 billion yuan, down 24.9% and 29.7% respectively.

　　In the first three quarters, Vanke achieved a total contracted sales area of 13.308 million square meters and contracted sales amount of 181.20 billion yuan, down 26.8% and 35.4% respectively.

　　Affected by favorable policies, the overall market activity increased during the 11th period. Vanke achieved good sales performance during the 11th holiday, achieving a subscription amount of 10.22 billion yuan, and the average daily subscription increased by 113% compared with the Mid-Autumn holiday. Among them, the conversion rate of visits in South China and Shanghai increased significantly, and the National Day subscription increased by more than 2 times compared with the Mid-Autumn holiday.

　　By the end of September, there were 19.616 million square meters of sold resources within the scope of Vanke’s consolidated statements, and the total contract amount was about 292.94 billion yuan.

　　In terms of property services, Vanke actively relies on service quality and brand advantages to expand high-quality projects, and continues to consolidate the quality of basic property services, and its smart property service capabilities are recognized.

　　According to the third quarterly report, in view of the listing of Wanwuyun on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, detailed financial data on property services need to refer to its subsequent periodic reports.

　　In terms of renting apartments, the scale and efficiency of long-term rental apartment business remain the first in the industry. According to the announcement, in the first three quarters, Vanke’s rental housing business (including non-consolidated projects) achieved operating income of 2.63 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 3.7%.
