Among them, 2 films broke 3 billion, 2 films broke 2 billion and 1 film broke 1 billion.　

At present, (3.460 billion), (3.398 billion), (2.454 billion), (2.006 billion) and (1.061 billion) are temporarily listed in the TOP5 of the box office in 2024.

　　Cctv newsThe reporter learned from the Wuhan Municipal Health and Wellness Commission that yesterday (8th), eight patients with unexplained viral pneumonia in Wuhan, Hubei Province were cured and discharged. It is understood that these eight patients were treated in relevant hospitals in Wuhan before, and then they were all concentrated in Jinyintan Hospital in Wuhan. After diagnosis and treatment by medical institutions, these 8 patients have had no clinical manifestations such as fever and pneumonia for several days. After being diagnosed by clinical experts, they met the discharge standards and have all been discharged.

　　Preliminary progress has been made in pathogen identification

　　With regard to the progress of etiological identification of viral pneumonia with unknown causes in Wuhan, the reporter learned today (9th) from the expert group on preliminary evaluation of pathogen detection results that as of 21: 00 on January 7th, 2020, a novel coronavirus was detected in the laboratory, and the whole genome sequence of the virus was obtained. By nucleic acid detection, 15 cases were found to be novel coronavirus positive, and the virus was isolated from a positive patient sample, showing a typical coronavirus morphology under the electron microscope.

　　The expert group believes that the pathogen of this unexplained viral pneumonia case was initially determined to be novel coronavirus. The laboratory used genome sequencing, nucleic acid detection, virus isolation and other methods to detect the etiology of patients’ alveolar lavage fluid, throat swab, blood and other samples.

　　Coronavirus is a kind of pathogen that mainly causes respiratory and intestinal diseases. There are many regularly arranged protrusions on the surface of this kind of virus particles, and the whole virus particle is like a crown of an emperor, hence the name "coronavirus". Besides humans, coronavirus can also infect many mammals such as pigs, cows, cats, dogs, minks, camels, bats, mice, hedgehogs and many birds.

　　So far, there are six known human coronaviruses. Among them, four coronaviruses are common in the population, with low pathogenicity, and generally only cause mild respiratory symptoms similar to the common cold. Two other coronaviruses — — Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, also known as SARS coronavirus and MERS coronavirus, can cause serious respiratory diseases. Novel coronavirus, which caused the epidemic, is different from the human coronavirus that has been found. Further scientific research is needed to understand the virus.

Guangdong Yuehai Tianhe City (hereinafter referred to as "Tianhe City"), which once opened the first year of China Shopping Center by Guangzhou Tianhe City Shopping Center, failed to survive the industry cycle.

Recently, according to the notice issued by WeChat official account, the official commercial WeChat of Tianhe City in Guangdong Province, due to the expiration of the lease contract of the shopping mall, Dongpu Store of Tianhe City Department Store in Guangzhou will be closed on December 31, 2023.

This is the second store that Tianhe City Department Store has closed in Guangzhou this year. As of the end of 2017, Tianhe City Department Store had 9 stores, but since then, Tianhe City Department Store has closed many department stores. After the closure of Dongpu Store, Tianhe City Department Store has only four stores in Yingmen Store, creating a new low in the number of stores in Tianhe City Department Store in recent years.

The continuous contraction of Tianhe City’s department store format is the epitome of the current offline consumption format iteration.

Under the impact of e-commerce, in recent years, traditional department store brands with old space design and poor consumption experience have successively withdrawn from public view. At the same time, new shopping centers that focus more on catering, tide play and other experience formats continue to attack. Between advance and retreat, Tianhe City is also striving to update its own format.

On December 7th, regarding the business operation of Tianhe City Department Store and Shopping Center, Time Weekly reporter called and sent a letter to Tianhe City’s parent company, Yuehai Investment (00270.HK), but no reply was received as of press time.

Close 5 stores in 6 years.

Tianhecheng Department Store Dongpu Store, which recently issued a notice of suspension, has been in business for nearly 12 years, but in terms of "qualifications", it is still slightly inferior to Tianhecheng Department Store Beijing Road Store, which closed at the beginning of the year.

On March 26th, Tianhe City Department Store Beijing Road Store closed due to the need of strategic adjustment. The store opened on September 26th, 2008, and has been in business for nearly 15 years by the time it closed.

In addition, in recent years, the size of Tianhe City department stores has continued to shrink. As of December 31, 2017, the number of Tianhe City department stores was 9. Since then, including the two stores closed this year, Yuehai Yangzhonghui Store, Dongguan Store and Foshan Nanhai Store have also been closed.

The continuous closing action is directly reflected in the weak performance of Tianhe City Department Store in recent years.

Yuehai Investment Financial Report shows that from 2015 to 2019, the annual revenue of Tianhe City Department Store declined as a whole. In 2019, Tianhe City Department Store’s annual revenue was 665 million Hong Kong dollars, down 7.2% year-on-year, and its pre-tax profit was 230 million yuan, down 2.3% year-on-year.

The latest financial report shows that in the first three quarters of 2023, the revenue of Tianhe City Department Store was 592 million yuan, down 0.7% year-on-year; Affected by the fair value loss of investment properties during this period and the gains from shortening the lease period of department stores, the pre-tax profit decreased by 84.8% to HK$ 23.787 million.

The decline of Tianhe City Department Store is the embodiment of the dilemma of the current traditional department store format.

The emerging e-commerce format in recent years has a huge impact on physical commerce. On December 6, Lai Yang, member of the Expert Committee of China Business Federation and executive vice president of Beijing Business Economics Association, told the Times Weekly reporter that in the era of cloud consumption, it has become a general trend for consumption to break the restrictions of time and space. Traditional department stores sell goods in stores, and labor costs, rental costs, offline channel costs, inventory costs, etc. need to be converted into product pricing, so commodity prices are on the high side.

"In contrast, online shop products have low cost, diverse choices and convenient delivery. Therefore, the opportunity for consumers to go to traditional department stores for rigid shopping needs is now tending to zero. " Lai Yang analyzed.

On the same day, a commercial real estate operator told Times Weekly that the biggest problem of traditional department stores is that the format is single and the space design has fallen behind the times.

"Traditional department stores are highly focused on retail, with limited supporting facilities and catering formats. There are almost no categories with particularly novel experiences, which are out of the current consumption hotspots, and the catering formats are often limited to street shops, lacking quality and special catering categories. At the same time, because there is no atrium in traditional department stores, customers will feel limited in terms of on-site activities, beauty and customer service. " The operator said.

Performance fluctuation of shopping center plate

While the traditional department store format has declined rapidly, the offline consumption format has also ushered in a breakthrough.

Laiyang told Times Weekly that people’s offline consumption behavior has shifted from meeting rigid demand to experiential consumption. Nowadays, consumers’ main demand for offline business has turned to socializing or discovering some novel and interesting products.

"The sense of existence in the offline retail format has been greatly reduced, and catering, leisure, culture and entertainment have become the key to stimulating offline consumption. The performance of offline businesses that have made breakthroughs and innovations in this regard is good, and they are still based on the traditional model, and the difficulty of survival will become more and more serious. " Lai Yang said.

Therefore, in recent years, new shopping centers that pay more attention to providing "experience" are constantly rising, and Yuehai Investment has also widely distributed shopping malls across the country.

In 2017, 2020 and 2022, Tianhe City Shopping Mall operated by Yuehai Investment in Tianjin, Panyu, Guangzhou and Shenzhen opened one after another. At the beginning of 2022, Tianhe City Shopping Center Beijing Road Store also reported that its business area continued to expand.

In the operation of shopping malls, Yuehai Tianhe City is struggling to catch up with the consumption trend.

Tianjin Tianhe City Shopping Center, which opened in 2017, is positioned as a one-stop "city enjoyment home", which not only introduces diversified formats such as fashion clothes, cultural travel experience and indoor entertainment, but also increases the proportion of catering formats to 30%; Panyu Tianhe City, which opened in 2020, introduced brands covering retail, catering, entertainment, education and other formats, providing a variety of experiences such as home aesthetics, trendy skin care and beauty, and trendy play.

Tianhe City, Shenzhen, which opened at the end of 2022, organically integrated with the Golden Beer House transformed from the site of Jinwei Brewery, and introduced the chain pub brand Tiaohai Tavern, which was popular among young people in recent years, and KUDDO COFFEE, a local coffee brand in Shenzhen.

Despite considerable efforts in operation, the performance of Yuehai Tianhe City has not improved significantly. In the first three quarters of this year, the total revenue of Yuehai Tianhe City Shopping Center also declined.

More importantly, Tianhe City Shopping Center, as the core pillar of Yuehai Tianhe City’s business, has also seen a decline in average occupancy rate in recent years. From 2019 to 2021, the average occupancy rate of Tianhe Shopping Center was 99.9%. However, in the first three quarters of 2022 and 2023, the index was 99.4% and 99.3% respectively.

The offline consumption environment is changing with each passing day. Can Tianhe City update its format in time to catch up with the trend? The result remains to be seen.

CCTV News:Today (October 9) is World Post Day, and the theme of this year’s World Post Day is "Post Guarding the Earth’s Home". In the past ten years, China’s postal industry has made historic achievements, entered a new stage with an annual express business volume of over 100 billion pieces and an annual express income of over one trillion yuan, realized direct postal service in established villages, and built the most accessible, inclusive, largest and most beneficiary postal express network in the world.

In addition, the State Post Bureau also stated that China is actively building laws, standards and policy systems that are compatible with the green concept, and accelerating the reduction, standardization and recycling of express packaging. By the end of this year, the proportion of packaging materials that meet the standards will reach 90%, the proportion of standardized packaging operations will reach 90%, the number of recyclable express boxes will reach 10 million, and 700 million corrugated boxes will be recycled.

Rural market has become a new growth pole of express delivery industry.

According to the data of the State Post Bureau, as of September this year, the coverage rate of express delivery service in established villages nationwide exceeded 80%. From the northwest Gobi to the southwest border, from wumeng mountain to the hinterland of Qinba, the express delivery network has been continuously completed and woven, which makes the circulation of parcels smoother, the rural market has become a new growth pole of the express delivery industry, and the rural consumption potential has been continuously released.

Near noon, the 205 bus carrying express parcels arrived at Gangdun Village, Cixi, Zhejiang Province. Just a few days ago, the first rural logistics express outlet in Cixi, Gangdun Zhongyou Station, was opened. In the past, the parcels of express delivery companies were only willing to be delivered to the fixed outlets at the foot of the mountain. Through the cooperation of post delivery and express delivery, the parcels of express delivery companies such as Zhongtong, Shentong and Yuantong are now taken to Gangdun Village by bus and placed at the post station.

Relying on the express network, consumer goods enter the mountains, constantly improving the quality of life of rural residents, and making agricultural products go out with better luck, and the villagers’ money bags are even more bulging.

In the past two days, the early-maturing apples in Qingyang City, Gansu Province have matured and ushered in a bumper harvest season. Kui, the king of fruit farmers in Loufangzi Village, Quzi Town, Huan County, is busy at the age of 69 while packing boxes and processing orders.

Pick up the goods at home, send them at any time, and deliver them on time, so that the sales of Wang Zhekui’s apples have expanded rapidly. Seventy percent of the annual output of more than 40,000 kilograms of apples is sold to all parts of the country through express delivery, which also drives 50 members around to get rich together.

According to the State Post Bureau, in the first three quarters, agricultural goods and e-commerce festivals were held in various places, which effectively promoted the growth of postal express delivery business through the linkage mode of "express delivery enterprise+government+merchants". In September, the online retail sales of physical goods supported by the postal express delivery industry is expected to exceed 8 trillion yuan.

[car home] I don’t know if everyone has seen it just now. Six mainstream hard-core off-road vehicles with different prices on the market competed in several projects, showing their off-road strength and different characteristics. Well, I’ve seen them competing in the same field. The graphic content focuses on the comprehensive performance of each bicycle in all events. If you happen to want to buy a hard-core off-road vehicle recently, I believe the following contents will help you choose to buy it. The protagonist of this article is (|). In addition, we have also produced a detailed analysis article of tank 300 four-wheel drive, and interested friends can click to watch it.

Tank 300 2.0T Conqueror is a mid-equipped model in the whole department. In the original factory state, the approach angle is 33, the departure angle is 34, the longitudinal passing angle is 23.1, the minimum ground clearance is 224mm and the maximum wading depth is 700mm, so the congenital conditions are good. The 2.0T engine has a maximum power of 227Ps and a maximum torque of 387N·m, matching the 8AT gearbox.

Tank 300 2.0T Conqueror adopts part-time 4wd structure, and also has two differential locks at the front and rear. The torque of low-speed four-wheel drive mode can be enlarged by 2.48 times, and it has its own tank turning and crawling mode. It is also one of the only two cars with front locks in this cross-evaluation, and it should be said that it is relatively strong in hardware.

K&C is called Kinematics and Compliancs in English, where K stands for geometric kinematics characteristics of suspension, and C stands for elastic kinematics characteristics of suspension. K&C characteristics jointly determine the posture and position of the wheel when it jumps, as well as the driving performance of the vehicle. K&C experiment is an important link to ensure the handling, stability and driving experience of the vehicle in the process of vehicle development.

Five kinds of sensors are used in this experiment, including front and rear seat cushion sensors, sound pressure sensors of front and rear seat cushions, and multiple unidirectional and three-directional acceleration sensors installed on the steering wheel and the guide rail under the seat respectively, in order to avoid the interference of the seat cushion and simply look at the chassis performance.

We will simulate three different bumpy road conditions, A, B and C, in which A road condition is equivalent to an asphalt road that has been in disrepair for a long time, B road condition can be regarded as a vehicle passing through cobblestone roads, and C road condition is basically a bad unpaved road that is often encountered during long-distance crossing.

Let’s draw a conclusion directly. After several rounds of tests and calculations, in the interior noise test, the performance of Tank 300 can be ranked second among the six models, second only to Beijing BJ40. In the ride comfort test to measure the human vibration evaluation index, from the data obtained by the sensors on the front and rear seats and the seat guide rail, several cars did not open the obvious gap, which was far below the safety threshold. From the vibration data measured at the steering wheel position, the performance of Tank 300 can rank fourth among the six cars.

In the tension test, we can see the tension values obtained by four wheels, two wheels or even a single wheel in different four-wheel drive modes through the data. In the actual off-road situation, if a wheel loses its grip, you can also know more clearly what mode can make it easier for you to get out of trouble.

When the full-wheel tension of tank 300 in 4H mode is 2362kg, the tire will break through the grip and slip, resulting in data decline. Using the 4L mode with greater torque will only make the tire break through the grip limit earlier, and the performance has not improved again. In the front axle tension test, the difference between 4H and 4L modes is very small, which is 1281kg and 1284kg respectively. The difference is that 4L mode is more likely to break through the tire grip limit. In the rear axle tension test, the tension in 4L mode is slightly higher than that in 4H, which is 1398kg and 1326kg respectively, which is slightly higher than that in the front axle as a whole.

In the cross-axle test, the power output will be limited when using the 4-hour mode, and the rotation speed will be limited to 1100rpm, and the tension will be 864kg； when the rotation speed limit is lifted after the rear lock. The effect of using 4L mode is obvious, and the tension value increases to 1052kg. However, if the rear differential lock is locked at this time, although the power output is more direct, the wheel will instantly break through the grip, so the measured data will be lower, which is 824kg. The mode that can get the maximum pulling force in the cross axle test is 4L+ front and rear locks, at which time the vehicle can get the pulling force of 1285kg.

In the single-wheel tension test, there is no doubt that the tension when the single rear wheel has adhesion is greater than that when the single front wheel has adhesion. Whether in 4H or 4L mode, the tension of the single front wheel is 250kg, while that of the single rear wheel is basically 400-500kg. After locking the differential lock, the situation has been greatly improved. In the mode of 4L+ front and rear lock, the pulling force of the single front wheel can reach 816kg, which can basically reach the same level as that of the single rear wheel 4H padlock, while the single rear wheel has the largest data of 895kg when it is 4L padlocked.

Field cross-country is the best way to test the comprehensive quality of a hard-core SUV. We still came to the Kaiser cross-country venue to see their performance.

The 80% ramp is just an appetizer for the tank 300. Under the condition that the tires have adhesion, it can be easily climbed to the top only by using the 4H standard mode, and the engine speed is only 2000rpm in the whole process. There was no accident in the performance of 66% side slope, and there was no sign of downward sliding of the vehicle during the whole process.

In the Big Butterfly Valley project, the standard mode is still 4H, and the vehicle can easily pass through with the throttle stabilized. During the whole process, the electronic limited slip intervention is quick after the wheel loses adhesion, and there is not too much invalid idling, and the vehicle is relatively stable when the center of gravity shifts. However, because the suspension setting of the tank 300 is soft, some "seesaw" effects are easy to appear when the vehicle reaches the top.

The height of each steamed bread bag crossing the shaft on the difficult level is 45cm, which not only examines the slip-limiting ability of vehicles, but also puts forward certain requirements for passing. In this link, the tank 300 directly uses the low-speed four-wheel drive+rock mode. At this time, the vehicle will close the ESC and lock the rear differential. In this case, the tank 300 has no difficulty in passing, and the basic idle crawling state can pass the test.

The most difficult project this time is the 80% uphill cross axle, which is a comprehensive test of the off-road ability of vehicles. Power, passability, four-wheel drive distribution ability and even vehicle weight will affect the passing effect of vehicles. The tank 300 still uses the 4L+ rock mode. In addition to hanging the rear lock, the driver manually locked the front differential this time. In the whole climbing process, the challenge can be completed only by stepping on the accelerator deeply when crossing the shaft. However, when climbing to the top, the side pedal of the vehicle will rub against the ground. On the whole, the performance of the tank 300 in this field cross-country can be said to be excellent.

It’s not unreasonable for Tank 300 to be the best-selling hard-core SUV in the market at the level of 200,000 yuan at present. In addition to its pleasing retro square box appearance, its four-wheel drive performance can stand the test. Excluding the influence of vehicle configuration on off-road performance, the approach angle and departure angle of the tank 300 ensure its passability, and the calibration of the electronic system is also very mature, which are its advantages. In addition, many mature modification cases and parts on the market provide great convenience for the owner’s later upgrade, which is also related to its huge user base, so it is basically still one of the most worthwhile off-road vehicles at this price.

　　People’s Daily Online, Beijing, June 1 (Xu Xiangli) On June 1, the "Russian Yellow Book: Russian Development Report (2018)" new book launch conference was held in Beijing, which was jointly organized by Russian Institute of Eastern Europe and Central Asia of China Academy of Social Sciences and Social Science Literature Publishing House. The report pointed out that China and Russia have strengthened exchanges and cooperation in all aspects, and the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership between China and Russia will develop in depth.

　　High-level exchanges between the two countries have been frequent, and political mutual trust has been enhanced. In July 2017, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader visited Russia and signed the Joint Statement of People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Russian Federation on Further Deepening the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership of Cooperation with President Putin, reaffirming the commitment of the two countries to further develop and consolidate the China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of cooperation based on equality, trust, mutual support, common prosperity and friendship from generation to generation, and promoting deepening political mutual trust, pragmatic cooperation, security cooperation, people-to-people exchanges and international cooperation; President Putin attended the Belt and Road International Cooperation Summit held in Beijing and the BRICS leaders’ meeting held in Xiamen. The Chairman of the Supreme Leader also held talks with President Putin during the Astana Summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the Da Nang Summit of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, and reached many important consensuses on Sino-Russian relations and international and regional issues of common concern. The heads of state of China and Russia jointly led the cooperation between the two countries in the fields of politics, economy, diplomacy, security and humanities to a higher level. At the end of October, Premier Medvedev visited China and met with Premier Li Keqiang. The two sides signed a series of cooperation documents in the fields of investment, energy, agriculture, customs, finance and aerospace. The leaders of the legislatures of the two countries meet regularly. The China-Russia Investment Cooperation Committee, the Energy Cooperation Committee, the Humanities Cooperation Committee, the Prime Minister’s Regular Meeting Committee, and the Intergovernmental Cooperation Committee of Northeast China, the Russian Far East and Baikal have been effectively functioning, and various government departments of the two countries have maintained good exchanges and cooperation.

　　Economic and trade cooperation has developed rapidly. The rising international oil price, the improvement of Russian economic situation and the active promotion of Chinese and Russian governments have promoted the development of Sino-Russian economic and trade cooperation. The trade volume between China and Russia has increased steadily and the trade structure has continued to improve. According to the data of the General Administration of Customs of China, the trade volume between the two countries was US$ 84.07 billion in 2017, a year-on-year increase of 20.8%. Among them, China exported US$ 42.88 billion to Russia, up 14.8% year-on-year; Imports from Russia reached US$ 41.19 billion, a year-on-year increase of 27.7%. China ranks as Russia’s largest trading partner, and the trade volume between China and Russia accounts for 14.8% of Russia’s total foreign trade. Russia is also an important trading partner of China.

　　China-Russia energy strategic partnership of cooperation has been further consolidated. In 2017, Russia maintained its position as the largest source of crude oil and electricity imports in China, and exported 59.8 million tons of crude oil to China, up 13.9% year-on-year. On January 1, 2018, with the Mohe-Daqing pipeline, the second branch of the Sino-Russian crude oil pipeline, put into commercial operation, the annual scale of crude oil imported by China through the Sino-Russian crude oil pipeline will increase from 15 million tons to 30 million tons. The Sino-Russian East Line natural gas pipeline project progressed smoothly, and the Amur natural gas processing plant started construction. In December, the first production line of Sino-Russian Yamal LNG project was put into production. This project is one of the largest liquefied gas projects in the world, with China Petroleum and Natural Gas Group and Silk Road Fund holding 20% and 9.9% shares respectively.

　　Financial cooperation has expanded. In March, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China announced the official launch of RMB clearing bank business in Moscow, which will further facilitate the use of RMB in Sino-Russian trade and investment, and promote Sino-Russian cooperation in trade, investment and finance. At present, China Industrial and Commercial Bank, China Agricultural Bank, China Bank, China Construction Bank, China Development Bank and The Export-Import Bank of China have all set up subsidiaries and representative offices in Russia, and their cooperation with Russian banks is getting closer and closer. Rusal issued two panda bonds with a total of 1.5 billion yuan in China.

　　Military security and military technical cooperation have developed in depth. In June, the defense ministers of the two countries signed the "Road Map" for Sino-Russian cooperation and development in the military field from 2017 to 2020, which made an overall plan for Sino-Russian military cooperation in these four years. The Chinese and Russian navies held a joint military exercise codenamed "Maritime Joint -2017", which was conducted in two stages: in the Baltic Sea in July, in the Sea of Japan and in the Sea of Okhotsk in September. The theme of the joint exercise is joint rescue and joint protection of the safety of maritime economic activities, and the subjects are anti-submarine, air defense and anti-ship training, which improves the ability of the Chinese and Russian navies to carry out maritime defense operations. In December, the two armies held the "Air and Space Security -2017" second Sino-Russian joint headquarters computer-simulated missile defense exercise in Beijing. The goal of the exercise was to jointly respond to the attacks of ballistic missiles and cruise missiles on the territories of the two countries. At the end of 2017, Russia delivered the second batch of 10 Su -35 fighters to China, which was carried out according to the supply agreement of 24 Su -35 fighters signed in 2015.

　　Humanities cooperation links the past with the future. 2017 is Russia’s "China-Russia Media Exchange Year", and the media of the two countries have carried out a variety of activities, further promoting media cooperation and non-governmental friendship between the two countries. The two countries agreed to hold the Sino-Russian year of local cooperation and exchange in 2018-2019, which will continue the national-level "theme year" activities. In terms of education, not only the number of students studying each other’s language and culture in their respective countries is increasing, but also with the enrollment of Shenzhen MSU and the Sino-Russian Joint Research Institute of Shanghai Jiaotong University-Moscow Aeronautical Institute, Sino-Russian cooperation in running schools has achieved gratifying results. The number of Chinese and Russian tourists visiting each other’s territory is increasing. In 2017, China became the largest tourist source country in Russia, and Russia was the fifth largest tourist source country in China.

　　Close diplomatic cooperation. When the Supreme Leader visited Russia, he signed the Sino-Russian Joint Statement on the Current World Situation and Major International Issues with President Putin. The document expounds the common propositions of China and Russia on international relations and international law and their consistent positions on the current international situation and major issues, and emphasizes that the two sides will continue to carry out diplomatic cooperation to cope with the threats and challenges in the current international and regional situation. As always, China and Russia have maintained coordination and cooperation in promoting world multipolarization and strengthening the central role of the United Nations in international affairs. Both countries oppose the unilateral deployment of anti-missile systems in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region by some countries under the pretext of the so-called missile threat, thus seriously damaging the strategic security interests of countries in the region and negatively affecting the international and regional strategic balance. China and Russia jointly promoted the expansion process of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and the Astana Summit of the organization officially accepted India and Pakistan as members. The two countries have also conducted fruitful diplomatic cooperation on international issues such as counter-terrorism, Syria, Afghanistan and Internet security, as well as in multilateral mechanisms such as BRICS, G20 and APEC.

　　BEIJING, Feb. 18 (Xinhua)-Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao published an article entitled "Putin Lays a Policy for Successors" on February 17, saying that there was an airspace dispute between Russia and Japan, and Putin refuted Japan’s high-profile accusation that Russian military aircraft invaded Japan’s airspace, which made Russia-Japan relations tense. So far, Russia has no intention of apologizing for this matter, and Putin himself denied it, indicating that after nearly 20 years of rest and recuperation, Russia will take the lead in setting off a round of war against the West.

　　Excerpts from the article are as follows:

　　In the 1960s and 1970s, the former Soviet Union was a global power that could compete with the United States, and even the space competition was stronger than that of the United States. However, after the disintegration of the former Soviet Union in the early 1990s, Russia fell into economic recession. In order to save the economy, it obviously gave up the policy of competing with the United States to develop the national economy. After Putin came to power, the economy finally improved. Now that Putin is about to leave office, he has made a strongly worded anti-Western speech with the Japanese military aircraft incident, which shows that Russia feels that it has the strength to stand on the front line against western countries again. Although this is not surprising, there are many comments. The biggest focus is that this move is Putin’s practice of laying a strong Russian image for his successor.

　　Russia’s general election will be held in a little more than half a month. Dmitry Medvedev, whom Putin preferred earlier, is still the most popular presidential candidate, which shows that Putin still has great power in controlling Russia’s political situation, that is to say, the domestic and foreign policies formulated by Putin will continue to be implemented. Whether Dmitry Medvedev can control Russia after taking office naturally depends on how Putin exerts his strength behind it. Because of this, Putin’s recent speech at the meeting of the State Council and his tough stance toward Japan are considered to have a cause, and the content of his speech has been evaluated as the spirit of the post-Putin era has been continued. In his speech, Putin pointed out that NATO had provoked a new global military competition, and questioned that Russia had completely withdrawn from bases in Cuba and Vietnam, but the United States had new military bases in Romania and Bulgaria, and planned to build missile defense systems in Poland and the Czech Republic, indicating that the military hostility of western countries towards Russia had never changed. To be fair, Putin hit the point.

　　From the perspective of a leader of a big country, it is understandable that Putin is worried and hopes that his influence will continue. However, from the perspective of western countries, it is considered as an act of clinging to the stack and power, which makes Putin’s actions on the eve of leaving office particularly concerned, and who to choose as his successor is also particularly watched. Only when Dmitry Medvedev takes office smoothly can Putin put down his heart and stone. Based on this, he does not want to think too much about western countries’ accusations of his anointing behavior.

　　In a word, all the reform and development actions of Putin’s reign can only be said to clear the way for Russia to rebuild its image as a great power, and achieve the goal of re-election. Because Putin is unwilling to amend the constitution, he can only work hard to train successors who are loyal to his own political ideas. Whether Dmitry Medvedev can continue Putin’s policy is naturally regarded by Putin as a major event to clear the way to rebuild Russia’s image as a great power. Because of this, on the eve of the handover of power, Putin needs to use the meeting of the State Council and the military conflict with Japan.

　　There are three tests on Putin’s succession: First, under the sustained development of Russian economy, it is very important to regain the previous leading role as a counterbalance to western countries. It is not only because of Russia’s vast territory and abundant resources, but also because of its strong scientific and technological foundation. Therefore, Putin particularly pointed out that Russia must establish an "innovative army" to respond to the threat of NATO. Second, Dmitry Medvedev’s first task after taking office is to maintain domestic stability, including political and economic stability. Political stability can make his administration smoother, while economic stability can continue all the developments that have been on track, thus promoting Russia’s strength to become stronger. Third, since Russia is located across Eurasia, it is very important to develop good relations with neighboring countries. As soon as Putin saw this advantage, he constantly strengthened his contacts with neighboring countries in Europe and Asia during his term of office, which made Russia spend a long time in exerting influence on neighboring countries. Dmitry Medvedev took over Putin’s power. If he suddenly loses Putin’s support, he will not only face great pressure in countering hostile forces, but also bear great storms in consolidating relations with neighboring countries. Because Putin knows this better than others, he used the meeting of the State Council and the friction with Japan as a platform, and public opinion first supported Dmitry Medvedev.

　　Looking at Russia at present, if Dmitry Medvedev can do well in three aspects after taking office, he will be in power more smoothly. First, strengthening economic cooperation with neighboring countries, especially China, can not reverse the economic development in the Far East. Developing Siberia is equivalent to creating new wealth for Russia, and the continuous development of Sino-Russian border trade is the basis for promoting the modernization of Siberia. Second, to change Russia’s image as an energy exporter, while selling energy resources, we must take the means of consolidating good bilateral relations, and we can’t just deal with energy resources from the perspective of pure economic interests, so that energy resources are wasted. Third, on the basis of Putin’s success in rectifying the Russian economy, we will further strengthen state management and increase investment in education, infrastructure, science and technology. By strengthening the communication between these investments and other countries in the world, Russia will return to a strong position in the world and regain the right to speak on world affairs.

　　Russia’s political and economic strength is obviously in the European part, which makes its science and technology have a great advantage with the help of European power, and it is also the biggest reason why the former Soviet Union can compete with the United States in the last century. At present, the EU is expanding its influence on Eastern Europe and wooing many former Soviet Union allies. On the surface, it is not good for Russia. However, everything has its disadvantages and advantages. The rise of the EU is directed at the United States. This pattern shares part of Russia’s power to counter the United States, so that Russia can gather counter-forces. Therefore, it is not difficult for Dmitry Medvedev to improve his domestic affairs as soon as possible and use his powerful energy resources as an expansion force to rush out of the world and succeed. This may be exactly what he did. (Yu Jianfeng)
