　　It is our new cultural mission in the new era to continue to promote cultural prosperity, build a cultural power and build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new starting point.

　　Culture is related to the country and the country. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has placed cultural construction in an important position in the overall work, profoundly grasped the historical position of the new era, and made all-round and in-depth thinking on how to continue to promote cultural prosperity, build a cultural power and build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation in the new era with firm cultural consciousness, broad historical vision and far-reaching strategic considerations, and put forward a series of new ideas, new ideas and new conclusions.

　　The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China drew a grand blueprint for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in an all-round way with Chinese modernization, and made strategic arrangements for "promoting cultural self-confidence and self-improvement and creating new glories of socialist culture". On June 2, 2023, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader attended the symposium on cultural inheritance and development and delivered an important speech, which is a milestone in the history of our party’s cultural construction and will certainly have a significant and far-reaching impact on Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s cultural construction. Before the symposium, the General Secretary made a special trip to the newly-built China National Edition Museum and the Archaeological Museum of China Institute of History for investigation and research. "During my visit to China Historical Research Institute and China National Edition Museum, I deeply felt that China culture has a long history and Chinese civilization is profound." "During this time, I have been thinking about the major issue of promoting the cultural construction of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation. This is also the reason for holding this symposium. " The important speech of the General Secretary focuses on the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation, based on the continuation of the Chinese context and the construction of modern civilization, and makes a comprehensive, systematic and in-depth exposition of a series of major theoretical and practical issues concerning the inheritance and development of Chinese culture from the overall strategic height of the development of the cause of the party and the state.

　　— — "Deeply grasp the outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization". General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that there are many important elements in Chinese excellent traditional culture, which together shape the outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization, and made a profound explanation from five aspects: outstanding continuity, outstanding innovation, outstanding unity, outstanding inclusiveness and outstanding peace of Chinese civilization. These important expositions highlight the distinctive features of Chinese civilization different from other civilizations, and show the outstanding advantages of the Chinese nation in gaining a firm foothold in the world cultural turmoil, which provides a "golden key" for understanding ancient China, understanding modern China and grasping the future of China at a deeper level.

　　— — "Deeply understand ‘ Two combinations ’ The significance of ". General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that we have always emphasized the integration of the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete reality of China, and now we have clearly put forward the "second integration". It is emphasized that "two combinations" are the greatest magic weapon for our success. The premise of "combination" is mutual agreement and the result is mutual achievement. "Combination" has laid a solid foundation for the road, opened up the space for innovation and consolidated the cultural subjectivity. Emphasizing the "second combination" is our party’s profound summary of the historical experience of the modernization of Marxism in China, and a profound grasp of the development law of Chinese civilization, which shows that our party’s understanding of China’s road, theory and system has reached a new height, that our party’s historical self-confidence and cultural self-confidence have reached a new height, and that our party’s consciousness of promoting cultural innovation in inheriting Chinese excellent traditional culture has reached a new height. These important expositions are of great significance for constantly opening up a new realm of the modernization of Marxism in China and continuing to write a new chapter in the inheritance and development of Chinese culture.

　　— — "better shoulder the new cultural mission." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that it is necessary to persistently implement, constantly enrich and develop a series of new ideas, new viewpoints and new theories on cultural construction for a long time, and clearly put forward a new cultural mission in the new era, focusing on three aspects: strengthening cultural self-confidence, upholding openness and tolerance, and persisting in integrity and innovation. These important expositions have profoundly expounded the scientific connotation and practical requirements of the new cultural mission in the new era, fully embodied the profound cultural feelings, broad cultural tolerance and deep cultural responsibility of General Secretary of the Supreme Leader, and entrusted great responsibility and scientific guidance for the inheritance and development of Chinese culture in the new era and new journey.

　　General Secretary Supreme Leader’s important speech at the forum on cultural inheritance and development is strategically important, rich in connotation, highly political, ideological, strategic and instructive. It is a glorious document that shines with the light of Marxist truth and is full of the unique charm of Chinese culture, and it is a guide for action to build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation and a powerful socialist culture. Since the publication of the General Secretary’s important speech, it has aroused enthusiastic response from all walks of life. All localities and relevant departments have conscientiously studied and implemented the spirit of the speech, adopted a series of solid measures, and achieved initial results. We should continue to study, publicize and implement the spirit of the important speech of General Secretary of the Supreme Leader, combine it with the spirit of the 20th Party Congress, with the new ideas, new viewpoints and new judgments of the General Secretary on cultural construction, and with the education of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era of the Supreme Leader, so as to have a deeper understanding of the decisive significance of the "two establishment", strengthen the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four self-confidences" and achieve the "two maintenance" and better shoulder the responsibility.

　　Deeply grasp the outstanding continuity of Chinese civilization

　　Liangzhu, Yuhang, Zhejiang, is a beautiful continent in water. In July 2019, at the 43rd World Heritage Conference, "Liangzhu Ancient City Site" was selected into the World Heritage List, which indicated that the demonstration of China’s 5,000-year history of civilization was widely recognized by UNESCO and international mainstream academic circles.

　　"Chinese civilization is the only great civilization in the world that has been continuous and developed to this day in the form of a country." In the long history of civilization development of more than 5,000 years, the people of China have created a dazzling Chinese civilization and made great contributions to the cause of human civilization and progress. Although Chinese civilization has experienced vicissitudes, it has always been endless and endless. For example, the characters created by our ancestors thousands of years ago are still in use today, and the Chinese characters we use today are not fundamentally different from those in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. For example, the excellent elements of China’s traditional ideology and culture, including Confucianism, have played a very important role in the formation and continuous development of Chinese civilization for thousands of years, in the formation and maintenance of China’s United political situation, in the formation and consolidation of China’s multi-ethnic and integrated family, in the formation and enrichment of the Chinese national spirit, in encouraging Chinese sons and daughters to safeguard national independence and resist foreign aggression, and in promoting the social development and progress of China and the balance of social interests and social relations. All this fully proves that Chinese civilization has the cultural subjectivity and vigorous vitality of self-development, responding to challenges and creating new opportunities.

　　Tracing back to the deepest history can open the longest future. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has made a series of important expositions on the outstanding continuity of Chinese civilization, stressing that "contemporary China is the continuation and development of historical China, and contemporary China ideology and culture is also the inheritance and sublimation of China traditional ideology and culture. To know today’s China and China people, it is necessary to deeply understand the cultural blood of China and accurately grasp the cultural soil that nourishes China people", which provides a fundamental basis for us to understand and grasp the outstanding continuity of Chinese civilization.

　　In this important speech, the Supreme Leader’s General Secretary regards "the outstanding continuity of Chinese civilization" as the first of the five outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization, and profoundly states: "Deep feelings for home and country and deep historical consciousness have laid the foundation for the Chinese nation to maintain the great unity and become the spiritual support for the Chinese nation’s continuous rejuvenation through numerous difficulties and dangers. The continuity of Chinese civilization fundamentally determines that the Chinese nation must follow its own path. If we don’t understand China from a long-standing historical continuity, we can’t understand ancient China, modern China, and even China in the future. "

　　Deeply grasp the outstanding innovation of Chinese civilization

　　"This is a project that Zhang Xi of Zhejiang University was responsible for when I was working in Zhejiang. First, the Complete Works of Song Painting was compiled, and later it was extended to ‘ China painting series of past dynasties ’ 。” On June 1st, a set of Complete Works of Song Painting once again attracted the attention of the Supreme Leader General Secretary when he visited the Central General Hall of China National Edition Pavilion.

　　The sustainable development of civilization not only needs to be passed down from generation to generation, but also needs to adapt to the times and innovate. From the Complete Works of Painting in Song Dynasty to the Painting Series of China in Past Dynasties, the national treasures scattered around the world, which have passed through thousands of years, gathered together through high-definition proofing images, which restored the development vein of China’s painting from a trickle to a confluence of rivers, and showed the innovative character of Chinese civilization.

　　"Chinese civilization has outstanding innovation. Chinese civilization is a civilization that is innovative and radiant, and the still water is deep and magnificent. " In this important speech, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out: "Continuity is not stagnation, let alone rigidity, but a historical progress process supported by innovation." Innovation is the life of culture and the essential feature of culture. It is a prejudice and misinterpretation of China’s history and culture by western discourse system since modern times to regard Chinese traditional culture as conservative. The Chinese nation has always created its own material civilization, spiritual civilization and political civilization in the spirit of "striving for new days, getting new days and getting new days", and stood as the most prosperous and powerful civilization in the world for a long historical period.

　　Contemporary China is experiencing the most grand and unique practical innovation in human history, which provides powerful impetus and broad space for cultural innovation. Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s cultural construction has a new atmosphere and pattern, and the "one pool of spring water" of Chinese culture has been completely activated, showing great vitality and exuberance in the new era. The charm of Chinese excellent traditional culture, the vigorous revolutionary culture and the prosperity of advanced socialist culture are integrated in the great practice of the new era, which provides a more active and powerful spiritual force for comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and a correct spiritual guide for the progress of human civilization.

　　History and reality have fully proved: "The innovation of Chinese civilization fundamentally determines the enterprising spirit of the Chinese nation, which is not afraid of new challenges and brave to accept new things."

　　Deeply grasp the outstanding unity of Chinese civilization

　　"Chinese civilization has outstanding unity."

　　In this important speech, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out: "The long-standing tradition of great unity of Chinese civilization has formed the unity of pluralism, unity and concentration. ‘ Inward cohesion ’ The pursuit of unity is the premise and result of continuous civilization. Unity and unity is a blessing, and division and turmoil are a curse. It is a valuable experience and lesson that China people have exchanged for blood. " For thousands of years, the Chinese nation has always regarded the great unification as "the common experience of heaven and earth, the universal meaning of ancient and modern times." A history of China is a history in which all ethnic groups blend and converge into a pluralistic Chinese nation, and a history in which all ethnic groups jointly create, develop and consolidate a unified great motherland. The unity and integration of all ethnic groups and the integration of diversity are due to the cultural eclecticism, economic interdependence and emotional closeness of all ethnic groups, and to the endogenous motivation of the Chinese nation to pursue unity and unity. Because of this, Chinese civilization has unparalleled inclusiveness and absorption, and it can last for a long time and be deeply rooted.

　　As early as the pre-Qin period, China gradually formed a blending pattern with Yanhuang Huaxia as the core and "five people" sharing the world. Qin’s "the same book, the same car, the same quantity and the same line" started the development of China’s unified multi-ethnic country. Since then, no matter which nation has entered the Central Plains, it is its own responsibility to unify the world and pretend to be the orthodoxy of Chinese culture. Separation, such as the northern and southern dynasties, all boast of Chinese orthodoxy; Confrontations such as Song, Liao and Xia Jin are all called "Peach Blossom Stone"; Unification, such as Qin and Han Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, is even more "Liuhe shares the same wind and Kyushu shares the same experience". The glory of the Qin and Han Dynasties, the weather of the Tang Dynasty, and the prosperity of the Kang and Gan Dynasties are all the history jointly created by all ethnic groups. After modern times, in the face of the unprecedented crisis of national subjugation and extinction, people of all ethnic groups fought against foreign aggression and went to the national disaster together, shed their heads and shed their blood, and jointly wrote a great epic of the Chinese nation’s arduous and vigorous mountains and rivers.

　　History and reality fully prove: "The unity of Chinese civilization fundamentally determines that the cultures of all ethnic groups of the Chinese nation are integrated and firmly condensed even if they encounter major setbacks. It also determines the common belief that the country is inseparable, the country cannot be chaotic, the nation cannot be separated, and civilization cannot be broken. It also determines that national unity will always be the core of China’s core interests, and that a strong and unified country is the fate of people of all ethnic groups."

　　Deeply grasp the outstanding inclusiveness of Chinese civilization

　　"Chinese civilization is profound and has a long history, and it is formed by the confluence of excellent cultures of all ethnic groups." On July 13th, 2022, when General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited the Museum of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, he revealed the important origin of Chinese civilization’s outstanding inclusiveness.

　　"Chinese civilization has outstanding inclusiveness." In this important speech, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly stated: "Chinese civilization has never used a single culture to replace multiculturalism, but multiculturalism has gathered into a common culture to resolve conflicts and build consensus. Chinese cultural identity transcends local culture, blood lineage, religious beliefs, etc., and integrates the vast ethnic groups with great internal differences into a pluralistic and integrated Chinese nation. The more inclusive, the more recognized and maintained, and the more continuous it will be. "

　　Unfolding a grand historical scroll, Chinese culture is eclectic and colorful, which is the epitome of all ethnic cultures. From Zhao Wuling Wang Hu Fu riding and shooting to the localization reform of Emperor Xiaowen in the Northern Wei Dynasty; From "Everyone in Luoyang learns Hu Le" to "Qiang people in Wan Li do their best to sing Chinese songs"; From the frontier nationalities’ habit of "clothes under the clothes" and "elegant songs and Confucian clothes" to the prevalence of "clothes under the pants" and Hu Mao with Hu clothes in the Central Plains; From the spread of Buddhism to the east in history, to the spread of Western learning to the east in modern times, the new culture movement, Marxism and socialist ideas were introduced to China, and then to the all-round opening up since the reform and opening up, Chinese civilization has always been eclectic and enduring.

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has emphasized that to correctly grasp the relationship between Chinese culture and national cultures, excellent traditional cultures of all ethnic groups are an integral part of Chinese culture, and Chinese culture is the backbone, while national cultures are branches and leaves, so that they can flourish. Civilization is colorful, equal and inclusive. We should adhere to exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations, promote a hundred schools of thought of different civilizations to contend and let a hundred flowers blossom, and promote the building of a community of human destiny, which provides a fundamental basis for us to understand and grasp the outstanding inclusiveness of Chinese civilization.

　　History and reality have fully proved: "The inclusiveness of Chinese civilization fundamentally determines the historical orientation of exchanges and integration of the Chinese nation, determines the harmonious pattern of the coexistence of various religious beliefs in China, and determines the open mind of Chinese culture to the world civilization."

　　Deeply grasp the outstanding peace of Chinese civilization

　　"China does not have the gene to dominate the country, does not have the impulse to play games with big countries, and firmly stands on the right side of history and firmly pursues ‘ On the trip to the Avenue, the world is public ’ 。” On August 22nd, in his speech at the closing ceremony of the BRICS Business Forum in 2023, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader expounded China’s firm stance of unswervingly following the path of peaceful development from the perspective of Chinese civilization.

　　"Chinese civilization has outstanding peace." In this important speech, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out: "Peace, harmony and harmony are the concepts that have been passed down by Chinese civilization for more than 5,000 years, and it is advocated to build a world in which the group and the self are one, and to put others first in the relationship between people and themselves. Advocate traffic harmony and oppose isolation and occlusion; Advocate symbiosis and oppose self-reliance; Advocate the protection of harmony and oppose the law of the jungle. "

　　The Chinese nation is a peace-loving nation, and the people of China are peace-loving people. Chinese civilization with a history of more than 5,000 years has always advocated peace. Since ancient times, China has put forward the motto "Although a country is big, belligerence will lead to death". The concepts of "harmony is the most important thing", "harmony is different", "turning hostilities into friendship", "national peace and security", "good neighbors", "world peace" and "world harmony" have been handed down from generation to generation. China used to be one of the most powerful countries in the world for a long time, but it left no record of colonizing and invading other countries. At the beginning of the 15th century, Zheng He, a famous navigator in China in the Ming Dynasty, made seven ocean voyages, reaching many countries in Southeast Asia and Kenya on the east coast of Africa, leaving a wonderful story of China’s friendly exchanges with people of other countries along the way. Throughout the ages, the Chinese nation has a position and influence in the world, not by belligerence or external expansion, but by the powerful appeal and attraction of Chinese culture.

　　History and reality fully prove: "The peaceful nature of Chinese civilization fundamentally determines that China has always been a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development and a defender of the international order, that China constantly pursues exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations without engaging in cultural hegemony, that China will not impose its own values and political system on others, and that China will persist in cooperation, not confrontation and never engage in ‘ Oppose differences with the same party ’ A small circle. "

　　The premise of profoundly grasping "combination" is mutual agreement.

　　“‘ Combination ’ Not hard together. Marxism and Chinese excellent traditional culture have different sources, but they are highly compatible with each other. "

　　Only when they fit each other can they be organically combined. In this important speech, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly clarified: "‘ Combination ’ The premise is that they fit each other. " After the introduction of Marxism into China, the idea of scientific socialism was warmly welcomed by the people of China, and finally took root in China, blossoming and bearing fruit. It was by no means accidental, but it was integrated with the excellent history and culture passed down by our country for thousands of years and the values that the broad masses of people did not realize every day.

　　China’s excellent traditional culture contains the idea that the world is for the public, the people are the foundation of the country, the government is based on morality, innovation, meritocracy, harmony between man and nature, self-improvement, virtue-oriented, trust and reconciliation, kindness and good neighborliness, etc. It is an important embodiment of China people’s world view, world view, social view and moral view accumulated in their long-term production and life, and it is highly compatible with scientific socialist values. For example, the social pursuit of "serving the public, upholding faith and improving harmony" is interlinked with the ideals and beliefs of communism and socialism; the governance thought of "people are the foundation of the country, governing by virtue" is integrated with the political concept of "people first"; the responsibility of innovation and self-improvement is consistent with the revolutionary spirit of communist party people. Marxism grasps the essence of human beings from the perspective of social relations, and Chinese culture also places people in the home country and the world, and both oppose treating people as isolated individuals. It is in this sense that we say that the Communist Party of China (CPC) is not only a firm believer and practitioner of Marxism, but also a faithful successor and promoter of Chinese excellent traditional culture.

　　The Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the New Era is based on the realistic China and rooted in the historical China. It integrates the essence of Marxism with the spiritual characteristics of Chinese excellent traditional culture, and becomes a vivid example of the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture. It is full of strong Chinese flavor, profound Chinese feelings and noble national soul, with strong historical penetration, cultural appeal and spiritual appeal, showing cultural self-confidence and full of historical consciousness.

　　The result of a deep grasp of "combination" is mutual achievement.

　　On the banks of Xiangjiang River, Yuelu Academy. On September 17th, 2020, when it was drizzling, the Supreme Leader General Secretary came to this millennium university to inspect, looked at the high-hanging plaque of "seeking truth from facts", and pondered for a long time: "How can communist party succeed? In Shikumen, there was a boat on the South Lake, and there were more than a dozen people, so today. The road here must be clarified and the truth must be localized. "

　　Only by taking root in the fertile soil of our country’s history and culture can the tree of Marxist truth take root. In this important speech, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out: "‘ Combination ’ Not ‘ Platter ’ , not simple ‘ Physical reaction ’ , but profound ‘ Chemical reaction ’ It has created an organic and unified new cultural life. "

　　On the one hand, "Marxism brought advanced ideological theory to China, activated the genes of Chinese civilization with the light of truth, led China into the modern world, and promoted the life renewal and modern transformation of Chinese civilization". From people-oriented to democracy, from Kyushu to the Chinese nation community, from the coexistence of all things to the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, from enriching the people and giving birth to common prosperity, Chinese civilization is unique, achieving a leap from tradition to modernity and developing a modern form of Chinese civilization. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has continuously promoted the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture, making the most basic cultural genes of the Chinese nation adapt to contemporary China culture, coordinate with modern society, and glow with great vitality.

　　On the other hand, "Chinese excellent traditional culture has enriched the cultural life of Marxism, promoted Marxism to achieve a new leap of China modernization, and showed increasingly distinctive China style and China style, and China Marxism has become the essence of Chinese culture and China spirit". Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee, with the Supreme Leader as the core, has integrated the essence of Marxism with the essence of Chinese excellent traditional culture and the common values that the people use everyday without realizing it, constantly endowing scientific theory with distinctive China characteristics, constantly consolidating the historical foundation and mass foundation of the modernization of Marxism in China, and making Marxism firmly take root in China.

　　The combination of the basic principles of Marxism with Chinese excellent traditional culture makes Marxism China, Chinese excellent traditional culture modern, and the new culture formed through "combination" becomes a Chinese modern cultural form.

　　Deeply grasping "combination" and laying a solid foundation for the road

　　"If there is no Chinese civilization for five thousand years, what are the characteristics of China? If it is not the characteristics of China, how can we have such a successful Socialism with Chinese characteristics road today? " In mid-spring, 2021, at Zhuxi Garden on the banks of Jiuqu River in Wuyishan, the Supreme Leader General Secretary thought for thousands of years and learned from the past, profoundly expounding the profound cultural heritage of China Road.

　　Only based on the magnificent history of Chinese civilization for more than 5,000 years can we truly understand the historical inevitability, cultural connotation and unique advantages of China Road. In this important speech, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly expounded "‘ Combination ’ Built a solid foundation for the road. "

　　— — "The key to China’s characteristics lies in ‘ Two combinations ’ " . Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s road is first of all socialism, which comes from Marxism; At the same time, the simple socialist elements in China culture also provided the cultural basis for China to accept Marxism. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out that why can our socialism be full of vigor and vitality? The key lies in the characteristics of China, and the key lies in the "two combinations". In the new era of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, an important reason why the cause of the Party and the country has made historic achievements and undergone historic changes is that we have adhered to the "two combinations".

　　— — “‘ The second combination ’ Let Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road have a broader and far-reaching historical depth, and expand the cultural foundation of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road ". The road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics came out under the guidance of Marxism, and it also came out from the history of Chinese civilization for more than 5,000 years. For example, in the new development concept of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing, and in the new development pattern of "taking the domestic big cycle as the main body and the domestic and international double cycles promoting each other", historical wisdom such as "being among monks" and "harmony between man and nature" is highlighted; From the sense of hardship that "China people’s rice bowls must be firmly in their own hands at all times" to the strategic deployment of overall development and security in the outline of the 14 th Five-Year Plan, we can see that "the wise prevent disasters before they sprout, and the wise plan for the future"; Wait a minute. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader, while adhering to the great "Tao" of Marxism, fully absorbed the wisdom of Chinese excellent traditional culture, making Chinese culture a powerful force to promote the development of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.

　　— — "Chinese-style modernization is the new life of the old country of the Chinese nation and will surely promote the rejuvenation of Chinese civilization." Chinese-style modernization endows Chinese civilization with modern strength, and Chinese civilization endows Chinese-style modernization with profound foundation. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly expounded the dialectical relationship between Chinese-style modernization and Chinese civilization: "Chinese-style modernization is to continue the modernization of ancient civilization, not to eliminate it;" It is a modernization that grows from the land of China, not the modernization of other countries; It is the result of the renewal of civilization, not the product of the fracture of civilization. " Practice has fully proved that the unique world outlook, values, historical outlook, civilization outlook, democratic outlook and ecological outlook contained in Chinese modernization and its great practice have greatly surpassed the western modernization theory and practice and broken the myth that "modernization equals westernization".

　　Deeply grasping "combination" opens up the space for innovation.

　　"Extract the essence of history, promote theoretical innovation" and "constantly promote the modernization of Marxism in China" … … On the eve of the 20th Party Congress, Fuxing Library, a major cultural project, was published. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader personally prefaced Fuxing Library, sending out the strong voice of the times of "strengthening historical self-confidence, grasping the general trend of the times and taking the road of China well".

　　"Two combinations" is the fundamental way to promote the Party’s theoretical innovation, and it is the secret of the evergreen tree of China-era Marxist theory. In this important speech, the Supreme Leader General Secretary profoundly explained the significance of "two combinations" to theoretical and institutional innovation, emphasizing "‘ Combination ’ It is innovation in itself, and at the same time it opens up a broad space for theoretical and practical innovation. "

　　“‘ The second combination ’ Let us master the ideological and cultural initiative and effectively act on roads, theories and systems. " From this point of view, the people’s congress system and political consultation system initiated by our party are deeply related to the people-oriented thought of Chinese civilization, the concept of ruling the world together, the tradition of "republicanism" and "consultation", and the political wisdom of "embracing everything and seeking common ground while reserving differences". The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed, "We have not engaged in federalism or confederation, established a unitary state form, and implemented a system of regional ethnic autonomy, which is to conform to the general trend of the development of the Chinese nation, which is inward cohesion and pluralism, and to inherit the tradition of China’s cultural unification." The reason why Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s political system is feasible, vital and efficient is that it grew from the social soil of China and is the result of long-term development, gradual improvement and endogenous evolution on the basis of China’s historical inheritance, cultural tradition and economic and social development.

　　"More importantly, ‘ The second combination ’ It is another ideological emancipation, which enables us to make full use of the valuable resources of Chinese excellent traditional culture in a broader cultural space and explore future-oriented theoretical and institutional innovations. " Rooted in the fertile soil of Chinese culture and constantly promoting theoretical innovation and institutional innovation based on practice, the Communist Party of China (CPC), a century-old party, will be able to better answer the questions of China, the world, the people and the times, overcome all difficulties and obstacles on the road ahead, and take a good road to Chinese modernization as a powerful country and national rejuvenation.

　　Deeply grasping "combination" has consolidated cultural subjectivity.

　　Culture is the soul of a country and a nation. Cultural self-confidence is more basic, broader and deeper, and it is the most basic, deepest and lasting force in the development of a country and a nation. In the historical evolution of thousands of years, the reason why the Chinese nation can become a great nation and always stand among the nations of the world, and the reason why it has become more frustrated and brave after suffering, is that the profound and enduring Chinese culture has provided rich nourishment for the Chinese nation’s endless development and growth.

　　On June 8, 2023, an audience dressed in traditional costumes watched the Digital Dunhuang Exhibition at the Gansu booth of the 19th China (Shenzhen) International Cultural Industry Expo. Xinhua News Agency reporter Liang Xu/photo

　　"Cultural self-confidence comes from our cultural subjectivity." In this important speech, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader clearly put forward the major proposition of consolidating cultural subjectivity, and profoundly pointed out: "Any culture must have its own subjectivity if it wants to stand up and go far, and to have leading, cohesive, shaping and radiating power"; "With cultural subjectivity, we will have a firm self in the cultural sense, cultural self-confidence will have a fundamental support, the Communist Party of China (CPC) will have a strong cultural force to lead the times, the Chinese nation and the people of China will have a solid cultural foundation for national identity, and Chinese civilization will have a distinctive cultural characteristic of exchanging and learning from other civilizations in the world."

　　Our cultural subjectivity was established in China under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC). It was established on the basis of creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture, inheritance of revolutionary culture and development of advanced socialist culture, and on the basis of drawing on and absorbing all outstanding achievements of human civilization; It was established by combining the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete reality of China and the excellent traditional Chinese culture. Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought, which founded the new era of supreme leader, is the most powerful embodiment of this cultural subjectivity.

　　The Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the New Era is contemporary China Marxism and 21st century Marxism, and it is the essence of Chinese culture and China spirit, which has achieved a new leap in the modernization of Marxism in China. This idea shows great truth power and unique ideological charm in guiding and promoting practice, and it is a powerful ideological weapon that has been tested by practice and is full of practical power. Under the guidance of this ideological science, the people of China will be more confident, self-reliant and self-reliant, with unprecedented historical initiative and creative spirit, and will be confident in writing the great history of China’s development in the new era.

　　Better shoulder the new cultural mission.

　　"I hope that everyone will take on the mission and work hard to create a new culture that belongs to our time and build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation!"

　　The new era and new journey have entered an irreversible historical process to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The closer we get to the goal, the more arduous and arduous efforts we need to prepare, the more we need to strengthen the people’s strength, invigorate the national spirit, and constantly promote cultural self-confidence and self-improvement. In this important speech, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader focused on a new starting point to better shoulder the new cultural mission, and emphasized three points from the combination of theory and practice, history and reality, and international and domestic.

　　The first is to strengthen cultural self-confidence. Cultural self-confidence and self-improvement are related to the rise and fall of the national movement, cultural security and national spiritual independence. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out: "Strengthening cultural self-confidence means sticking to your own path." The primary task of strengthening cultural self-confidence is to base ourselves on the great historical practice and contemporary practice of the Chinese nation, sum up China’s experience with China’s principle, upgrade China’s experience to China’s theory, and realize spiritual independence without blindly following various dogmas or copying foreign theories. Cultural self-confidence should be integrated into the spiritual temperament and cultural character of the whole nation, and a high-spirited outlook and a rational and peaceful mentality should be cultivated.

　　The second is to uphold openness and tolerance. Openness and tolerance have always been the source of vitality for the development of civilization, and it is also a remarkable symbol of cultural self-confidence. After long-term efforts, we are more qualified to solve the "dispute between ancient and modern China and the West" than any previous era, and we are more in urgent need of a batch of cultural achievements that fuse ancient and modern China and the West. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out: "To uphold openness and tolerance means to learn from all outstanding achievements of civilization created by mankind more actively." We must adhere to the modernization of Marxism in China, inherit and develop Chinese excellent traditional culture, promote the localization of foreign culture, and constantly cultivate and create Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture in the new era.

　　The third is to persist in being upright and innovative. Being upright and innovating is a bright weather in the new era, and it is also a remarkable symbol of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era. For cultural construction, only by being upright can we not lose ourselves and our direction, and only by being innovative can we grasp and lead the times. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out: "Upholding integrity is the fundamental system of Marxism’s guiding position in the ideological field, and it is ‘ Two combinations ’ The fundamental requirement is to keep the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s cultural leadership and the cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation. Innovation creates new ideas, new discourses, new mechanisms and new forms. Under the guidance of Marxism, we must truly make the past serve the present, make foreign things serve China, dialectically choose and bring forth the new, and realize the organic connection between tradition and modernity. " We must continue the historical context and write contemporary Chinese chapter with the righteousness and spirit of being upright and innovative.

　　"The best inheritance of history is to create a new history, and the greatest respect for human civilization is to create a new form of human civilization." Standing on the vast land of more than 9.6 million square kilometers, sucking the cultural nutrients accumulated by the long struggle of the Chinese nation, with the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core and the scientific guidance of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, the people of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and China will certainly be able to shoulder the new cultural mission in the new era and continue to promote cultural prosperity, build a cultural power and build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation in the great process of promoting Chinese modernization!

I thought it would not be released until the auto show, but I finally can’t wait. On the third day before the start of Chengdu International Auto Show in 2024, that is, on the evening of August 27th, Tucki MONA M03 officially released its three models, namely, the 515 long-life version of 119,800 yuan, the 620 long-life version of 129,800 yuan and the 580 long-life Max version of 155,800 yuan.

It seems that the students who made a decision directly after shouting 99,800 yuan can’t do it now. But don’t hurry, let’s take a look at what kind of Tucki MONA M03 can be bought for 119,800 yuan, and which one is the most recommended among the three models?

The 119,800-yuan 515-long battery life version of MONA M03 in Tucki, as its name implies, has a CLTC battery life of 515km, which is higher than the joint venture new energy brand and reaches a strong level among independent brands compared with mainstream BYD Qin PLUS EV, Volkswagen ID.3 and other models of the same level. And then delve into the prices corresponding to different endurance, we can find that the Tucki MONA M03 with a price of 119,800 yuan has surpassed the AION S 2024 MAX 70 Star Edition and Star Edition with a price of 134,900 yuan or even 145,900 yuan.

Secondly, look at the body size. The length, width and height of Tucki MONA M03 are 4780/1896/1445 mm, and the wheelbase is 2815 mm. Although the length of the car is not long in the same class, its wheelbase is generally about 100mm ahead. However, as far as my actual experience is concerned, the back row is still not stretched. On the contrary, due to the squeeze of the head space in the back row, the whole sitting will be slightly depressed. If you care about this, you’d better advise yourself to go to the offline experience store to feel it.

And it is worth mentioning that the rear suspension of MONA M03 in Tucki is not a multi-link like BYD Qin PLUS EV, but a longitudinal arm torsion beam type non-independent suspension, so overall, the riding experience in the back row is not too friendly, especially for taller students.

Next, look at the configuration. First of all, it is the wheel hub that can improve the face value most. Tucki MONA M03 comes standard with 18 inches, and can support optional 19 inches. However, in order to look better, the new car also provides more color options such as 19-inch blackened rims and blackened brake calipers. However, since only dark night can choose the blackened kit, it is suggested that students who want to improve this aspect can go to the aftermarket to solve it.

Inside the cockpit, the basic auxiliary driving function of L2 is standard in the whole department. Although automatic lane change assistance and up-and-down ramp are still available on the 580-year-old Max version, which costs 155,800 yuan, these functions are seldom used in daily life, and complicated road conditions are definitely safer for autonomous driving, so for most people, this standard L2 is enough.

However, for the 515 long-life version, it is fatal that it is not equipped with front seat ventilation and heating functions. In today’s new energy vehicle market, it’s as uncomfortable as eating instant noodles without seasoning bags. Therefore, it is suggested that students from MONA M03 in Tucki should be really considered, and it is best to add another 10,000 yuan to the 620 long battery life version of 129,800 yuan.

After all, this 10,000 yuan, not to mention 105km more battery life, but also two more mainstream configurations, seat ventilation and heating, and 256-color ambient lights, and the maximum charging power has also increased from 77kw to 92kw, which is quite cost-effective.

So in general, the Tucki MONA M03 is really a good entry-level model, but its entry-level model is a bit too entry-level in terms of comfort, lacking the most basic seat heating and ventilation, and beautiful atmosphere lights. Therefore, I finally suggest that all students, if they are considering the Tucki MONA M03 car, first go to the field to experience its back-seat ride experience, and whether it is acceptable to everyone. Secondly, try to add 10,000 yuan to choose the 620 with 129,800 yuan.

Domestic mobile phones Xiaomi and Meizu are preparing for a press conference in a hotel in Beijing at the same time this week. I believe many people will feel a little happy.

In August and September of last year, Xiaomi’s annual flagship mobile phone should have been released. However, at the press conference to compete with Meizu, Xiaomi released a brand-new product line-Xiaomi 4c, with a price of 1299 yuan, instead of the expected Xiaomi 5.

As a result, Xiaomi, who claims not to engage in "sea tactics", has developed two sets of new products this year: Xiaomi Note, which focuses on the high-end market, and Xiaomi 4c, which is positioned between Xiaomi and Redmi.

Xiaomi, founded five years ago, has been catching up with Apple and Samsung, and has become the top smartphone manufacturer in China. After building a huge user base through cheap mobile phones, Xiaomi built an ecological chain, hoping to expand into profitable Internet service projects. In December 2014, Xiaomi received $1.1 billion in financing, and its valuation soared to $45 billion, making it an entrepreneurial company with a global valuation second only to Uber.

However, the outside world is worried about whether Xiaomi has encountered a bottleneck in the high-speed growth channel.

The obvious figure is that since the first device was released in 2011, Xiaomi’s smartphone sales have doubled every year. However, in the first half of 2015, Xiaomi’s mobile phone sales reached 34.7 million units, a year-on-year increase of only 33%. This achievement is also less than half of the annual mobile phone sales set by Xiaomi Chairman Lei Jun at the beginning of the year. The goal is to guarantee 80 million units and sprint 100 million units.

Where is Xiaomi 5?

The rise of Xiaomi in China market originated from imitating Apple, but its price is less than half that of Apple. In the face of market criticism, Xiaomi subsequently improved the product design and began to introduce differentiated products.

At the beginning of this year, various analysts predicted that the growth rate of the global smartphone market would slow down this year. IDC also predicted that China’s market growth rate was lower than that of the whole world for the first time, only 2.5%.

Xiaomi, which has been growing at a high speed, has not been spared.

Lv Junkuan, chief analyst of market research firm Gartner Smartphone, told The Paper (www.thepaper.cn), "We observed that Xiaomi’s sales were still concentrated in Redmi series, but in the same price band, Xiaomi was strongly competitive by other manufacturers, such as Meizu and Glory, so its performance in the first half of the year was not as good as expected."

In the second half of the year, Xiaomi still runs through Redmi. Redmi is a thousand yuan machine released by Xiaomi Company, which is positioned lower than Xiaomi. Xiaomi released Red Rice Note 2 in August. Although it was accused by users of "false propaganda" and did not use Sharp or AUO’s screen according to the propaganda slogan, it was still very popular. According to the data released by Xiaomi, the sales volume of this machine reached 2.15 million units in one month, which set a record for the single-month shipment of Xiaomi and Redmi series mobile phones.

It stands to reason that the annual flagship machine can also bring considerable sales. However, this year, Xiaomi 5 was postponed. In this regard, the industry says that Xiaomi 5 is waiting for Qualcomm Xiaolong 820 processor or MediaTek 10-core processor, but these two processors may not be released until the end of the year. Xiaomi considered Xiaolong 810 before, but gave up for various reasons.

"Xiaomi 4c may be to fill the gap (before the arrival of Xiaomi flagship Xiaomi 5)." Wang Yanhui, secretary-general of China Mobile Alliance, told The Paper (www.thepaper.cn).

"Hunger Marketing" is history

Xiaomi is also changing the sales model.

In the past, it was very difficult to buy the latest Xiaomi mobile phone. Even in September this year, a diary of a Wall Street Journal reporter who spent two months buying Xiaomi was madly transferred online. Now, including the latest Xiaomi 4c, users can go to third-party e-commerce channels such as Tmall to buy, or they can go to the offline Xiaomi home to queue up for purchase.

Lin Bin, president of Xiaomi, recently released this signal frequently: "The biggest change of Xiaomi in the past six months is that we have changed from an abnormal e-commerce to a normal e-commerce. The outside may not feel anything, but it is very important to us internally. We call it’ Xiaomi 2.0′. "

As for the reason why I couldn’t buy a mobile phone before, I’m afraid only Xiaomi himself can figure it out. Some people say that this is Xiaomi hunger marketing, and the official said that this is because the production capacity can’t keep up with the user’s demand.

Xiaomi said that the change in sales model is not to cope with the completion of the annual target.

"Xiaomi no longer pursues the first launch of a chip, but is more concerned about whether the mobile phone is stable after it comes out. Under the’ Xiaomi 2.0′ mode, the mobile phone will be sold in large quantities and the quality must be good, otherwise there will be big problems." Lin Bin said.

Opponent "pixel level" copy

Lu Junkuan did not predict whether Xiaomi could achieve the annual target. He said: "The China market showed signs of recovery in the third quarter, and at the same time, we expect the China market to warm up in the second half of the year. The reason is that the main festivals are concentrated in the second half of the year, plus more new machines are released, such as a new generation of iPhone, Huawei Mate S and Samsung Note5. "

Competition in the mobile phone market is still fierce, and other smartphone manufacturers are even trying to copy Xiaomi. Both mobile phone manufacturers such as Lenovo, Huawei and ZTE, and new mobile phone manufacturers such as 360 and LeTV have launched products that compete with Xiaomi mobile phones. "Crazy price wars, homogeneous products, unprofitable business models." Internet analyst Wang Bin said.

Hugo barra, vice president of Xiaomi Global, said in July that Xiaomi’s competitors were chasing the old business model. "I think the model they are currently adopting is the model we adopted maybe a year ago, and we are still innovating."

In 2013, Xiaomi hired the former Google vice president to take charge of international expansion, but at present, Xiaomi mainly enters the Indian market. Xiaomi said that Xiaomi is already the fifth largest mobile phone manufacturer in the Indian market, and India’s smartphone sales this year are 80 million units.

In fact, many local start-up mobile phone manufacturers in China have chosen India as a transit point to enter the international market. This is mainly because the United States and other markets have very strict requirements for patents, and the weak patents of China manufacturers are a common problem. Even so, Ericsson still got into trouble last year and once stopped selling Xiaomi.

"If Xiaomi regards domestic manufacturers as rivals and restrains energy, it is doomed to an increasingly cruel profit squeeze trend, which may destroy its original market space." Fang Xingdong, chairman of Internet Lab, said.

Chen Tong is "quite satisfied" with the TV business.

After several rounds of strategic changes, Xiaomi is currently centered on three product lines: mobile phone, TV and router.

Regarding TV, the government has not released detailed data. Xiaomi, which has not yet been listed, has no obligation to announce a lot of data.

Chen Tong, who jumped from Sina editor-in-chief a year ago and joined Xiaomi as vice president, spent $400 million, less than half, on the $1 billion investment fund that Lei Jun gave him. Chen Tong told The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) frankly that there is still a lot to be done in TV content, such as the membership system of various video websites needs to be opened, and it is not yet possible to watch all paid content with one vote, and cinema movies cannot be broadcast on TV simultaneously. Chen Tong also admitted that after-sales maintenance is Xiaomi’s weakness.

This year, Xiaomi TV "achieved Lei Jun’s expectations, but the long March has only taken one step. The competition is long, and it will not be seen in two or three years, but the Internet TV faction will win in the end." Chen Tong said.

This year, Xiaomi and Letv had a quarrel, which seemed to be a content dispute, but in fact it was a mode dispute. Letv does not rely on hardware to make money, but relies on the mode of charging service fees and ecological services to make profits, which is in direct conflict with the hardware profit model on which Xiaomi depends.

If it can attract attention and sales by mouth-to-mouth, it should be excellent.

Xiaomi Ecological Chain: "We use each other"

Xiaomi is still laying out the ecosystem around the mobile phone, which is the future of Xiaomi.

Xiaomi plans to invest in 100 eco-chain enterprises to replicate the "Xiaomi model", launch low-priced intelligent hardware products, and open brands and traffic to them.

Explosive products such as mi band, Smart weighing scale, Air Purifier, smart plug, etc. began to enter daily life. Xiaomi told The Paper that Xiaomi has invested in about 40 eco-chain enterprises.

According to The Paper (www.thepaper.cn), the relationship between Xiaomi and its eco-chain enterprises is becoming subtle.

Insiders of an enterprise in Xiaomi Eco-chain told The Paper, "Users only recognize Xiaomi’s brand, but not their own. If the goods produced for Xiaomi develop very well, it will be both good and bad for us. We don’t want to be an OEM. I think that we are actually using each other with Xiaomi. "

However, this statement was refuted by Huang Wang, CEO of Huami Technology. "We regard the wearable products of Xiaomi brand as our own brand, do research and development, do sales and do market operations, just like the Amazfit brand, but the user base is different and the marketing methods are different." He told The Paper (www.thepaper.cn). Mi band is made by Huami Technology, and it is the only eco-chain enterprise product that is still out of stock after open purchase.

Some commentators said that it is faster for eco-chain enterprises to expand in Zhang Zhilu and adapt to China. But at the same time, it means that this former subversive has become a typical "Chinese giant"-building barriers by high enough market share and traffic, rather than exporting technology and patents.

Some people also say that this is the story that Xiaomi told the capital market. "Selling a purifier is to get a user, and selling a mobile phone is also a user. In the future, Xiaomi can provide users with more added value in big data mining."

"Xiaomi Company is not valued as a hardware company, but as an Internet company. The standard for measuring the valuation is the number of users." Wang Yanhui said that the value of "running sales" of red rice mobile phone series was also highlighted.

Pan Nongfei, another fast-growing start-up in China, the vice president of DJI Innovation, a drone manufacturer, once commented on Xiaomi: "After several years, Xiaomi has become a $45 billion elephant, but recently it released a new product, a patch panel in 49 yuan. Does China really lack a tens of billions of dollars company to make patch panels? Rejecting the cottage, making products with high brand premium and doing value-added innovation, this road, if the older generation of entrepreneurs and enterprises have no ability, will and courage to take this step, let the new generation of entrepreneurs and enterprises complete this mission. "

"What is the ecosystem based on smart phones? At present, it is far from an outline. If you really have a chance to build an ecology, you need at least a killer application with a billion users. The top two companies with the most opportunities are Apple and Google. These two companies control the operating system and the app store, but their ecosystem is still very uncertain and unstable. " Fang Xingdong said.

　　Dahe News: After four years of bumpy marriage, Hershey in the United States finally broke up with the golden monkey.

　　On July 25th, Dahe Daily Dahe Finance Cube reporter confirmed from Hershey Company in the United States that Hershey Company in the United States sold golden monkeys, and the receiver was Henan Yuxiang Food Technology Co., Ltd.. The reporter found from the national enterprise credit information publicity system that the relevant changes have been completed.

　　This also means that the golden monkey who married Hershey Company in the United States has returned to his hometown in Henan.

　　Hershey’s exclusive response confirmed that the golden monkey returned to Henan.

　　As early as July 10th this year, Dahebao Dahe Finance Cube reporter got an exclusive message that Zhengzhou Xiangying Venture Capital Fund will "marry" the golden monkey from Hershey in the United States, but related matters are still under further negotiation.

　　On July 25th, Hershey Company of the United States responded exclusively to Dahe Daily reporter Dahe Finance Cube, saying that "focusing on chocolate category to promote growth is an important part of Hershey Company’s latest business strategy. Therefore, we decided to sell the golden monkey business to Henan Yuxiang Food Technology Co., Ltd. ".

　　However, Hershey did not disclose the specific price of the golden monkey. Although the Golden Monkey business is sold, the United States said that it is "still optimistic about China’s market potential and Hershey’s growth opportunities in China, and will focus on e-commerce and product innovation".

　　Dahebao Dahe Finance Cube reporter inquired about the national enterprise credit information publicity system and found that Henan Yuxiang Food Technology Co., Ltd. was established on March 30, 2018 with a registered capital of 50 million yuan and the legal representative is Zhao Ke.

　　Henan Yuxiang Food Technology Co., Ltd. is 100% owned by Zhengzhou Xiangying Venture Capital Fund (Limited Partnership), which is established by six natural person shareholders including Zhang Jianfeng and Buwenpu and Tibet Cangying Venture Capital Management Co., Ltd..

　　According to the national enterprise credit information publicity system, on July 20th, Shanghai Golden Monkey Food Co., Ltd. completed the change of directors’ filing and investors’ (equity).

　　The directors were changed to Zhao Ke, Zhang Fan, Zhang Jianfeng, Pu Qianwen and Bu Wenpu. The investor (stock right) is changed to the sponsor: Shanghai Zhaoshi Industrial Investment Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Huyu Investment Management Co., Ltd.

　　It can be seen that Zhao Ke, the legal representative of Henan Yuxiang Food Technology Co., Ltd., and Zhang Jianfeng and Bu Wenpu, natural person shareholders of Zhengzhou Xiangying Venture Capital Fund (Limited Partnership) all attended the board of directors.

　　At the same time, Zhang Jianfeng is the chairman and general manager of Golden Monkey.

　　Can the return of the golden monkey be interpreted as "the return of the Great Sage"?

　　There are many rumors that Hershey broke up with the golden monkey in the United States. Although the sale was a real hammer, a little-known Henan enterprise "married" the golden monkey, but many people in the industry said that they "thought of the beginning, but did not guess the end".

　　However, Dahebao Dahe Finance Cube reporter checked the public information and found that the sponsors after the change of the golden monkey investor (equity): Shanghai Zhao’s Industrial Investment Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Huyu Investment Management Co., Ltd. are all closely related to Zhao Qisan, the founder of the golden monkey.

　　According to the national enterprise credit information publicity system, the legal person of Shanghai Zhaoshi Industrial Investment Co., Ltd. is Zhao Qisan, while the other two shareholders, Zhao Dongwang and Zhao Dongming, according to media reports, should be Zhao Qisan’s sons. Shanghai Huyu Investment Management Co., Ltd. has been renamed Shenqiu Huyu Investment Management Co., Ltd., and Shenqiu is the hometown of Zhao Qisan and the birthplace of Golden Monkey.

　　For this, the reporter repeatedly called Zhao Qisan himself and people around Zhao Qisan, but failed to get in touch.

　　Golden Monkey originated in shenqiu county, Henan Province in 1992. After nearly 30 years’ efforts, it has grown from a township enterprise to a well-known brand specialized large-scale food group in China. The produced toffee has become the happiest taste after accompanying 70 and 80.

　　Whether the return of the golden monkey can be interpreted as "the return of the Great Sage", many people in the industry also hold a wait-and-see attitude. Zhu Danpeng, a food industry analyst in China, believes that whether the golden monkey can return to complete the "Great Sage Return" still needs efforts in three aspects. "The first is to establish a sales team first; The second is to repair the opportunity with channel providers. After years of tossing, the relationship between terminals is relatively weak; The third is that the original product line should be adjusted, and the products need to be innovated and upgraded. " Zhu Danpeng predicted that 2018 will be a restoration period for the golden monkey, and whether it can develop rapidly depends on the key year of 2019.

　　The reporter called Zhao Ke, the legal representative of Henan Yuxiang Food Technology Co., Ltd., who said that due to the relevant agreement, more details could not be disclosed at present. However, Zhao Ke revealed that in August this year, Golden Monkey will hold a dealer meeting in Zhengzhou to inform the future strategy of Golden Monkey.

[Editor’s note]

This article is the 44th column of "European Observation Room" jointly published by Shanghai European Society and The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) "Diplomatic Scholar". On December 1st, Shanghai International Studies University and the Shanghai European Society held a conference on "Europe-America Relations Trend Report 2023" and a seminar on "Europe-America Sino-Russian Relations under the Influence of Euro-American Transatlantic Relations", at which the Annual Report on Europe-America Relations Trend 2023 (hereinafter referred to as "Report") was released.

After the twists and turns from Obama to Biden, the relationship between Europe and the United States has taken an obvious turning point under the pressure of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. By 2023, the relationship between the two sides has entered a relatively stable year. Just as the president of the Shanghai European Society,Ding Chun, a professor at Fudan University, wrote a preface for the Report, saying that the differences between the United States and Europe have not disappeared under the relatively stable pattern of the United States dominating Europe, but they should not be exaggerated. However, in specific topics and national relations, the relationship between the United States and Europe shows different forms and characteristics, which also leaves room for China to develop specific relations and realize national interests. A more timely and detailed study of the United States and Europe is of greater significance at present. The "European Observatory" recently published some articles in the Report.

The year 2023 is an important year for the world to get rid of the shadow of the COVID-19 epidemic, and it is also a year in which the Ukrainian crisis presents a long-term and complicated situation. Judging from the political and diplomatic relations between the European Union and the United States, the two sides continued to maintain the institutionalized and normalized dialogue and coordination after Biden took office, but the inherent differences of interests began to re-emerge as the "honeymoon period" aimed at repairing the alliance gradually passed. At the same time, in the face of regional hot issues such as the Ukrainian crisis and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the United States and Europe share common positions, but there are also differences in attitudes. Consultations between the two sides on these hot issues are becoming more and more frequent.

1. Normalization and institutionalization of EU-US political and diplomatic interaction

In 2023, the political and diplomatic interaction between the EU and the United States includes not only the exchange of visits and consultations between European and American leaders, but also the meetings and exchanges between the two sides on multilateral occasions.

From a bilateral perspective, on March 10th, 2023, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen visited the United States and met with Biden. On October 20, 2023, President Michelle and Ursula von der Leyen of the European Council visited Washington, D.C., and jointly held the second US-EU summit with US President Biden, and issued a joint statement after the meeting. In addition, other senior officials of both sides also interact frequently. For example, in early April 2023, US Secretary of State Blinken and EU High Representative for Foreign Policy and Security Affairs borrell co-chaired the EU-U.S. Energy Council)； in Brussels; At the end of May, several executive vice-presidents of the European Commission, together with officials such as Blinken, Minister of Commerce and Trade Representative, held the fourth ministerial meeting of the Euro-American Trade and Technology Council. On June 22, 2023, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Newland and Secretary-General of the European External Action Agency Stefano Sannino co-chaired the second dialogue between the United States and Europe on China and the fourth high-level consultation on the so-called "Indo-Pacific region".

At the multilateral level, the interaction between Europe and the United States mainly includes Biden’s trip to Europe in mid-July to attend the NATO summit in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, a Baltic country, and the EU, as a key partner of NATO, was also invited to attend the summit. The G-7 summit held in Hiroshima, Japan in May 2023 and the 18th summit of G-20 leaders held in New Delhi in September also became important platforms for Biden to communicate with Michelle and Ursula von der Leyen who were invited to attend the meeting. It can be said that these annual and institutionalized bilateral dialogues and multilateral meetings have become the main channels for normalized exchanges and consultations between the EU and the United States.

Second, the main topics and purposes of EU-US political and diplomatic interaction

Judging from the content involved, the political and diplomatic interaction between the EU and the United States in 2023 mainly revolves around the following two goals.

First of all,Maintain the consistency of the positions of the United States and Europe on major hot issues and ensure the continuity and stability of the US commitment.The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has entered the second year, and the stalemate in the war indicates that this conflict will develop in a long-term and complicated direction. This makes the EU particularly worried that the United States will waver in any form on the Ukrainian issue, otherwise it will lead the EU and its member States to "fight alone" in the action of "supporting Ukraine and curbing Russia". For example, in October 2023, the US Congress failed to approve a new round of aid to Ukraine in time due to domestic political struggles, which caused great concern in the EU. During the Third European Political Community Leaders’ Meeting, borrell made it clear that "Europe can certainly not replace the United States" on the question of whether Europe can fill the gap in American aid to Ukraine. Therefore, the commitment of continuous assistance to Ukraine has become the core content of every dialogue between the United States and Europe. For example, in the joint statement issued after the second US-EU summit, the two sides once again stressed that long-term political, financial, humanitarian and military support for Ukraine will not waver. The two sides stood shoulder to shoulder and demanded that Russia end the war and immediately, completely and unconditionally withdraw its troops and equipment from internationally recognized Ukrainian territory. Moreover, the two sides have also given a unified attitude towards other political solutions to the Ukrainian issue proposed by all parties in the international community, that is, any proposal to pursue comprehensive, just and lasting peace must be based on complete respect for Ukraine’s independence.

The Palestinian-Israeli conflict that broke out in October, like the Ukrainian issue, occurred in the surrounding areas of the EU, which once again posed a serious security threat to the EU. Therefore, the coordination of positions on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has become another important issue of regional security in the United States and Europe. In the above-mentioned joint statement, Europe and the United States not only recognized Israel’s right to self-defense, but also emphasized the premise of "conforming to international law, including humanitarian law" and the importance of protecting civilians and ensuring corresponding material supply channels. This joint statement can be regarded as the strengthening of position coordination between the United States and Europe, and the rectification of the "one-sided" attitude and "unreserved solidarity" towards Israel in the early stage of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Secondly,The United States and Europe hold consultations around the differences of interests, hoping to achieve the coordination of US and European policies and the compatibility of interests.In the second half of 2022, the Biden administration of the United States promulgated the Inflation Reduction Act, which plans to provide subsidies and tax incentives worth $369 billion for green technologies. These preferential measures will only be given to those related enterprises that have settled in the United States for manufacturing. This legislation immediately triggered strong dissatisfaction and worry in the European Union, fearing that the US bill would lead to a large outflow of domestic industrial capacity in Europe and cause a huge blow to the European economy. Therefore, the purpose of Ursula von der Leyen’s visit to the United States on March 10, 2023 was to negotiate with Biden on the Inflation Reduction Act, hoping to push the United States to make corresponding amendments and adjustments, but in vain.

In addition to the Inflation Reduction Act, the Biden administration of the United States has successively issued a series of policies and bills to activate the development of specific industries in the country, such as the Chip and Science Act (August 2022), the National Defense Production Act (June 2022), and the Infrastructure Investment and Employment Act (November 2021). Faced with these competitive modes, mainly through tax reduction or exemption, loans or subsidies, the European Union successively launched the Green Deal Industrial Plan, the Clean Zero Industry Act and the Key Raw Materials Act in 2023 as a response, relaxing the restrictions on subsidies provided by member States to specific industries, strengthening the requirements for the proportion of production capacity within the region, and improving the investment environment for green technology production. As the global governance issue of climate change is more and more closely related to the production capacity and social employment of various countries, the compatibility of industrial policies, economic legislation and economic stimulus measures is increasingly appearing in the political dialogue and consultation agenda between the United States and Europe. Similarly, such issues also dominated the second summit between the two major EU leaders and the Biden administration in October. However, the two sides failed to reach an agreement on the export tariff agreement for steel and aluminum.

Furthermore,The EU urgently needs to ensure that it will not be marginalized in the tripartite game between China, the United States and Europe.Ensure that US-European interaction takes precedence over Sino-US interaction. The joint statement issued by the two sides after the second EU-US summit clearly stated that they are using various bilateral and multilateral platforms to discuss their China policies. On the one hand, both sides are ready to build a constructive and stable relationship with China, recognizing the importance and necessity of strengthening China’s cooperation in the fields of climate change, biodiversity, debt sustainability, global public health governance, macroeconomic stability, etc., but on the other hand, both sides also emphasize the importance of risk reduction and diversification of the industrial chain and the necessity of protecting certain advanced technologies. In addition, the two sides have once again expressed their common position and principles on the Taiwan Strait issue, the situation in the South China Sea, Xinjiang, Tibet and Hong Kong, and the Ukrainian issue. From the time point of view, the interaction between the United States and Europe on China policy was earlier than the San Francisco meeting between the top leaders of China and the United States on November 15, 2023 and the China-EU Summit held in Beijing on December 7, 2023, achieving the goal of giving priority to coordination.

Third, the future prospect of EU-US political and diplomatic relations

Under the background of the persistent game between big countries, frequent and difficult regional conflicts, and increasingly urgent global governance issues, the political and diplomatic interaction between the EU and the United States is one of the main ways to maintain the stability and unity of transatlantic relations, expand their voice and influence in the international community, and maintain the dominance of Western alliance relations in international affairs. However, the seemingly solid alliance is also facing many challenges. Therefore, the political and diplomatic interaction between the United States and Europe is also a mirror that reflects the differences in positions and interests between the two sides. Despite the frequent political and diplomatic interactions between the EU and the United States since Biden took office recently, whether this seemingly solid alliance can continue to be consolidated and enhanced in the future depends on many uncertain factors in the era of chaos.

First of all,The future direction of US-European relations is closely related to the internal political game between the two sides.From the perspective of the United States, the presidential election in 2024 has already begun. The possibility of Trump’s comeback should not be underestimated. The foreign policy of the United States has been changing with the change of president. For example, the climate policy of the United States has undergone several rounds of general adjustment from the Clinton administration to the Biden administration. This undoubtedly affects the nerves of European allies on the other side of the Atlantic. From the perspective of the EU, under the complicated and special mechanism of the EU, there are different opinions between leaders of different institutions and between different member States on important issues such as US-Europe relations and regional conflicts, which affect the unity and consistency of the EU’s foreign policy. For example, the differences between Ursula von der Leyen, Michelle and borrell have been exposed quite openly for many times. Ursula von der Leyen’s overly pro-American stance and strong stance in the field of EU diplomacy have earned him the title of "American agent" inside and outside the EU. The year 2024 will be the election year for the European Parliament and the appointment year for three important figures, namely, the President of the European Commission, the President of the European Council and the High Representative for Foreign Policy and Security Affairs. Their views on Europe’s position and role in the international order and US-Europe relations will have an important impact on the future US-Europe relations.

Secondly,Whether the differences in economic and security interests between the United States and Europe are enlarged or narrowed will also profoundly affect the political and diplomatic relations between the two sides.From the perspective of economic interests, Germany, the economic engine of the European Union, is experiencing a difficult transition period of industrial structure and energy structure. A series of economic stimulus measures with obvious protectionism in the United States have seriously damaged the economic development prospects of Germany and even the whole European Union, which has further widened the differences of interests between the United States and Europe in the fields of economy, trade and investment and interfered with the synchronization of political and diplomatic actions between the United States and Europe. From the perspective of security interests, the long-term and complicated conflict between Russia and Ukraine may lead to different views in the west on how to end the conflict, which will also interfere with the consistency of the positions of both sides and the efficiency of their actions.
