Why is institutional self-confidence more firm (in-depth study and implementation of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era)

  The rise and fall of a country depends on the system, which is the foundation of the country. Both history and reality show that a stable system leads to a stable country, and a strong system leads to a strong country. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Institutional advantage is the greatest advantage of a political party and a country" and "Socialism with Chinese characteristics system is the fundamental guarantee for the development and progress of contemporary China". Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has led the whole party and people of all nationalities to uphold and improve the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system, promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, write a new chapter in the "China system" and create a new glory in the "China rule". Today, the people of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and China are advancing courageously towards the grand goal of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with more firm institutional confidence.

  In the new era, China’s various systems are more mature and stereotyped.

  "Ordering the people by the state is the right system." After the founding of New China, our party insisted on combining the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete reality of China and the excellent traditional Chinese culture, United and led the people to explore, summarize and innovate constantly in practice, and gradually established and improved the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has profoundly answered the major issue of "What to uphold and consolidate, what to improve and develop" in system construction, and promoted all aspects of the system to be more mature and stereotyped, laying a solid foundation for strengthening institutional self-confidence.

  In the 10 years of the new era, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has positioned the system from the height of "institutional advantage is the greatest advantage of a country, and institutional competition is the most fundamental competition among countries" and put the system construction in a more prominent position. The Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee is epoch-making, and the reform has changed from partial exploration and breakthrough to system integration and comprehensive deepening. The overall goal of this plenary session is to improve and develop the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system and promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee devoted research and deployment to upholding and improving the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system and promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. In the process of promoting system construction in the new era, the Supreme Leader General Secretary creatively put forward a series of new ideas, new ideas and new strategies, which deepened the understanding of the essential characteristics, construction laws, advantages and efficiency, and evolution direction of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s system, provided a fundamental basis for system construction in the new era, and achieved the goal of "by the centenary of the founding of our party, remarkable results have been achieved in all aspects of system maturity and stereotypes". A systematic, scientific, standardized and effective institutional system is a powerful foundation for more firm institutional confidence in the new era.

  The institutional system is complete. China’s national system is the fundamental basis of national governance, and it is a set of closely linked and coordinated systems. Promoting the system construction in the new era is a grand systematic project, which can’t be done piecemeal or piecemeal. We must work hard on systematicness and completeness. In the new era, our party has profoundly grasped the historical task and requirements of the times in system construction, made great efforts in establishing rules and regulations and building systems, focused on consolidating the foundation, promoting advantages, supplementing shortcomings, strengths and weaknesses, building a fundamental system, improving the basic system and innovating important systems, and basically established the basic institutional framework in various fields. We promoted the reform of market players, market system, macroeconomic governance, and high-level open economic new system reform, and the economic system reform continued to deepen; Promote the reform of the party and state institutions, deepen the reform of the state supervision system, and steadily advance the reform of the political system; Implementing the responsibility system for ideological work, improving the urban and rural public cultural service system, etc., the cultural system reform is solid and effective; Improve the public employment service system, improve the social security system covering the whole people, and comprehensively promote social system reform; A series of innovative systems, such as environmental protection supervision system, river and lake length system and national park protection system, were introduced in due course, and the reform of ecological civilization system was accelerated … … From ramming the foundation, erecting columns and beams to all-round promotion, accumulating strength, and then to system integration, coordination and high efficiency, the fundamental system, basic system and important system of Socialism with Chinese characteristics system are more consolidated and improved, and the four beams and eight columns of China’s system building are more stable.Various systems and mechanisms are organically connected, and historic changes, systematic reshaping and overall reconstruction have been achieved in many fields.

  The system is scientific and standardized. Whether a country’s institutional system is scientific, reasonable, strict and standardized directly affects its advantages and effectiveness. In the process of system construction in the new era, our party strengthens overall planning and top-level design, pays attention to the systematicness, integrity and synergy of system construction, not only pays attention to increasing system supply and promoting system innovation, but also fully considers the status and role of various systems, scientifically handles the relationship between various systems, and forms a scientific and standardized system. Our Party insists on and perfects the fundamental system, basic system and important system that support Socialism with Chinese characteristics system. In China’s national system, they play the role of four pillars and eight pillars, among which the party’s leadership system plays a leading role. At the same time, our party has made many important achievements in 13 aspects, such as the leadership system of the party, the system of people being masters of their own affairs, the rule of law system in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, the administrative system in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, the basic socialist economic system, the system of prospering and developing advanced socialist culture, the system of coordinating urban and rural people’s livelihood security, the social governance system of co-construction, co-governance and sharing, the system of ecological civilization system, the party’s absolute leadership system over the people’s army, the system of "one country, two systems", the independent foreign policy of peace, and the supervision system of the The fundamental system, basic system and important system have distinct levels and are connected with each other. The functions of systems in various fields are clear and mutually supportive. Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s institutional system is more three-dimensional and rigorous, achieving overall optimization and upgrading.

  The institutional system operates effectively. The key to evaluating a system is whether it can run smoothly and play its role in practice. The system construction in the new era adapts to the overall process of national modernization and adheres to the problem orientation. It not only reforms the system and mechanism that does not meet the requirements of practical development, but also establishes a large number of systems that are urgently needed for the modernization of national governance and are necessary to meet the people’s new expectations for a better life. It effectively and orderly solves institutional obstacles, institutional obstacles and policy innovations in all fields, forming a systematic integration of reforms and improvements in all fields. China’s national system and national governance system ensure that under the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee, all fields and aspects not only perform their duties, but also coordinate and cooperate with each other, and move towards the common goal, so they can operate effectively in practice, give play to the functions of the system and demonstrate the power of the system. The vitality of the system lies in its implementation. The system construction in the new era pays attention to handling the relationship between the establishment of rules and the effectiveness of implementation, strengthening the implementation of the system and strengthening the supervision of the implementation of the system. On the one hand, we pay attention to improving the procedural and operability of the system and improve the authoritative and efficient system implementation mechanism. On the other hand, we should bring the implementation of the system into the scope of supervision and inspection, improve the full coverage of the system implementation supervision mechanism, and resolutely safeguard the seriousness and authority of the system. In particular, pay attention to the "key minority" of leading cadres, and ask them to set an example of consciously respecting the system, strictly implementing the system, and resolutely safeguarding the system, and effectively transform China’s institutional advantages into governance efficiency.

  The new era "China system" highlights strong governance efficiency

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "The remarkable advantages of the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system are the fundamental guarantee for resisting risk challenges and improving the efficiency of state governance". Whether a system has significant advantages depends on its governance efficiency. Governance efficiency is the best test of the system, and it is also the foundation of firm institutional self-confidence. In the new era, the self-confidence of the whole Party and people of all ethnic groups in China is more firm, which is precisely due to the "China system" showing strong governance efficiency.

  How to govern China, a country with a long history, a vast territory, a large population and a large economy, is a difficult problem in the history of state governance. In the 10 years of the new era, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has profoundly grasped the development requirements of China and the trend of the times, given full play to the remarkable advantages of the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system, adopted a series of strategic measures, promoted a series of transformative practices, achieved a series of breakthrough progress, achieved a series of landmark achievements, withstood the test of various risk challenges, and made historic achievements and changes in the cause of the party and the state. The advantages of the "China system" in international competition are fully exerted, and the "China rule" is in sharp contrast with the "Western chaos". The Chinese nation has ushered in a great leap from standing up, becoming rich and becoming strong, vividly demonstrating the exuberant vitality and powerful governance efficiency of the "China system".

  We have overcome many problems that have not been solved for a long time, and achieved many long-term major events, which show the governance efficiency of the "China System". In the new era, we have built a well-off society in an all-round way, won the unprecedented, strongest and most populous battle against poverty in human history, and historically solved the problem of absolute poverty that has plagued the Chinese nation for thousands of years. How can we create this miracle in the history of human poverty reduction? This is inseparable from the governance efficiency of the "China System". It is precisely because of giving full play to Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s institutional advantages, exploring the establishment of a poverty alleviation system with China characteristics, and establishing a responsibility system, a work system, a policy system, an input system, a helping system, a social mobilization system, a supervision system and an evaluation system that we can make solid progress with the strategy of ensuring accurate poverty alleviation by the system. In the new era, a series of great powers that make Chinese people proud and attract the world’s attention have appeared one after another. The aircraft carrier went into the sea, the "Dragon" dived, the "Revival" led, the "Tiangong" stayed in the air, the "Chang ‘e" explored the moon, the "xi he" explored the sun, and the "Tian Wen" explored the fire & HELIP; … Major scientific and technological innovations are constantly emerging. How can we achieve one major innovation after another under the containment and suppression of anti-China forces in the United States and the West?This is also inseparable from the governance efficiency of the "China System". It is precisely because we improve the key core technologies to tackle key problems in the new national system, and combine the institutional advantages of concentrating on major events and the advantages of super-large-scale market with the decisive role of the market in resource allocation that we can continuously strengthen the national strategic scientific and technological strength, firmly grasp the initiative of innovation and development in our own hands, and promote the continuous progress of self-reliance and self-improvement of science and technology. In the new era, the construction of beautiful China has made great strides, and China’s ecological environment protection has undergone historic, turning and overall changes. How can we make the sky bluer, the mountains greener, the water cleaner and the environment more beautiful in such a short time? This is also inseparable from the governance efficiency of the "China System". It is precisely because of exploring the establishment of a system of ecological civilization system with clear property rights, diversified participation, equal emphasis on incentives and constraints, and a complete system, and insisting on protecting the ecological environment with the strictest system and the strictest rule of law, that we can continue to fight the defense of blue sky, clear water and pure land, promote the all-round green transformation of economic and social development, build a harmonious and symbiotic modernization between man and nature, and make the ecological foundation of the sustainable development of the Chinese nation more stable & HELIP; … In the 10 years of the new era, the "China System" has pushed the development of China to a new level with its powerful system, and created great changes with milestone significance in the history of party history, the history of New China, the history of reform and opening up, the history of socialist development and the history of Chinese nation development.

  We have overcome all kinds of risk challenges, which shows the governance efficiency of "China System". To measure whether a country’s system is successful or not, an important aspect is to see whether it can command all directions and organize all parties to jointly deal with major risk challenges. It can be said that major risk challenges are the touchstone to test the advantages and disadvantages of the system. The COVID-19 epidemic broke out suddenly and ravaged the whole world. Before the crisis exam, we gave full play to our institutional advantages, quickly launched a people’s war, a general war and a blocking war for epidemic prevention and control, improved the system and mechanism for major epidemic prevention and control, and improved the national public health emergency management system, so as to protect people’s lives and health to the maximum extent, and make overall plans for economic development and epidemic prevention and control to achieve the best results in the world. The epidemic situation in the century resonates with the changes in the past century, and the international pattern has accelerated its evolution. Some politicians in the United States and the West have tried their best to contain and suppress China in many fields, such as trade, science and technology, human rights and so on, and pieced together a "small circle" to contain China’s development internationally. Facing the severe and complicated international situation, we give full play to our institutional advantages, adhere to and improve the basic socialist economic system, improve the national security system, make overall plans for development and security, concentrate on running our own affairs on the basis of responding to the development and changes of the world situation, and push China’s economic strength, scientific and technological strength and comprehensive national strength to a new level. In the process of carrying out the great struggle, our party is clearly aware of the "four major tests" that the party faces.The four dangers are long-term and acute, and the factors that affect the party’s advanced nature and weaken the party’s purity are also complicated. We push forward the new great project of party building, explore the system of establishing Do not forget your initiative mind and keeping in mind the mission, improve the systems of governing for and by the people, and improve the system of strictly administering the party in an all-round way, so as to promote the great self-revolution of the party, constantly eliminate all factors that damage the advanced nature and purity of the party, and constantly eliminate all viruses that erode the healthy body of the party, so as to ensure that the party remains in full bloom after a hundred years of vicissitudes … … In the 10 years of the new era, the "China System", with its powerful institutional power, has ensured that we can stand the test of risks and challenges from politics, economy, ideology, nature and other aspects, and gather together the majestic forces of United struggle and indomitable spirit.

  The powerful governance efficiency demonstrated by the "China System" irrefutably proves that the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system is feasible, effective, efficient, with strong vitality and great superiority, which is a strong support for our system confidence. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "In the history of human civilization, apart from the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system and the national governance system, no national system and national governance system can create such miracles as China’s rapid economic development and long-term social stability in such a short historical period". The "China System" can show strong governance efficiency because it has obvious institutional advantages. The Socialism with Chinese characteristics system gives full play to the greatest advantage of the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership, promotes the Party’s leadership in socialist modernization to be more scientific and reasonable in function allocation, more complete and perfect in system and mechanism, and more efficient in operation and management, and ensures that the long-term goals of the Party and the country are always anchored and along the right direction, and the hoof moves steadily and orderly. At the same time, Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s system realizes the organic connection of specific systems with different levels and different functions in the system, making the obvious advantages of 13 aspects coordinate and integrate, ensuring that the institutional advantages of all aspects have a "chemical reaction" with other institutional advantages in the overall framework of the system, resulting in "one plus one is greater than two"The overall advantages, glow with extraordinary organizational mobilization ability, overall coordination ability, implementation ability. Socialism with Chinese characteristics system adheres to the fundamental nature of China’s socialism, draws lessons from the beneficial achievements of system construction at home and abroad, embodies the characteristics and advantages of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, has strong self-improvement and self-development ability, and can provide strong institutional guarantee for the development of the cause of the party and the country, for the happiness and well-being of the people, for social harmony and stability, and for the long-term stability of the country. We have incomparable confidence in this system.

  Strive for a new journey with more firm institutional confidence.

  System is a fundamental, overall, stable and long-term issue related to the development of the cause of the party and the state. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "We must persist in improving and developing the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system and constantly give play to and enhance China’s institutional advantages." On the new journey, the risks and challenges we need to deal with, the contradictions and problems we need to solve are more complicated than before. We must strengthen institutional self-confidence, constantly transform China’s institutional advantages into the effectiveness of national governance, and provide a strong institutional guarantee for realizing the goal of the second century and the Chinese dream of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

  Insist on giving full play to the greatest advantage of the party’s leadership. The key to building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and realizing the goals and tasks of the new era and new journey lies in the party. The Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership is the most essential feature of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and the greatest advantage of Socialism with Chinese characteristics system. Practice has proved that the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s incomparable strong leadership is the fundamental point of China’s political stability, economic development, national unity and social stability, and is the most reliable backbone of the people of China when the storm strikes. China’s national system and national governance system have obvious advantages in many aspects, the first of which is to adhere to the centralized and unified leadership of the party, adhere to the party’s scientific theory, maintain political stability, and ensure that the country always advances along the socialist direction. The reason why the "China System" can play a powerful role is also because the party’s leadership plays a leading role in the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system. Only by giving full play to the greatest advantage of the party’s leadership can we effectively coordinate the major relations between the party and the state in all fields, ensure the stability and continuity of major policies, give full play to the remarkable advantages of China’s national system and national governance system, and better promote the continuous development of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s cause. The better this greatest advantage is brought into play, the more prominent the party’s core role of commanding the overall situation and coordinating all parties will be, the more obvious the advantages of China’s national system and national governance system will be, and the more confident our system will be. Insist on giving full play to the greatest advantage of the party’s leadership, and the most fundamental thing is to profoundly understand "The decisive significance of "two establishment", and resolutely achieve "two maintenance".

  Adhere to integrity and innovation. Being good at self-improvement and self-development is the distinctive character of Socialism with Chinese characteristics system. Strengthening institutional self-confidence is not to stand still and stand still, but to unify firm institutional self-confidence with continuous reform and innovation. On the new journey, to strengthen institutional self-confidence, we must stick to the correct direction, persist in innovation, and handle the dialectical relationship between "change" and "unchanged". Strengthen the foundation of upholding integrity, adhere to the basic principles of scientific socialism, follow the essential provisions of socialism, unswervingly adhere to and consolidate the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership and socialist system, unswervingly adhere to Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s fundamental system, basic system and important system, and always remain firm in the direction and right and wrong issues at the institutional level to avoid subversive mistakes on fundamental issues, so as to uphold and consolidate China’s state system and state governance system that have been tested by long-term practice. Grasping the key of innovation, accurately grasping the evolution direction and development law of China’s national system and national governance system, adhering to systematic thinking, dialectical thinking and bottom line thinking, not only based on China’s national conditions and reality, but also drawing on the outstanding institutional achievements of mankind, constantly improving and developing China’s national system and national governance system according to the times, and promptly formulating systems urgently needed for the modernization of national governance system and governance capacity and systems necessary to meet people’s new expectations for a better life.Timely summarize and refine the effective governance ideas, governance methods and governance means created by the grassroots, and transform them into institutional achievements, so as to make all aspects of the system more mature and stereotyped, and further demonstrate the remarkable advantages of the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system.

  Insist on transforming institutional advantages into governance efficiency. National governance system and governance capacity are the concentrated expression of a country’s system and its implementation capacity, and they complement each other. Institutional advantages will eventually be transformed into governance efficiency and reflected in development advantages. Ensuring the implementation of the system is the key to better transform the institutional advantages into governance efficiency, and whether the system implementation is in place depends largely on the governance ability of leading cadres. This requires the broad masses of leading cadres to strengthen their awareness of the system, always have awe of the system, perform their duties, exercise their powers and carry out their work in strict accordance with the system, take the lead in safeguarding the authority of the system, set an example for its implementation, and drive the whole party and society to consciously respect the system, strictly implement it, and resolutely safeguard it. Preventing hard constraints from becoming "rubber bands" and "long-term" from becoming "invalid" requires not only internal conscious awareness and action, but also effective external supervision and inspection. Efforts should be made to improve the full coverage of the system implementation and supervision mechanism, and the system implementation and supervision should run through the whole process of governance, leaving no "hidden doors" or "skylights" to ensure that the system is always powerful and effective everywhere. Resolutely put an end to the phenomenon of making choices, making changes and giving discounts in the implementation of the system, and promote leading cadres to perform their duties in strict accordance with the system and be good at using the system to seek affairs.

  The modernization of a country is not only the modernization of economy, science and technology and national defense, but also the modernization of system and governance. When the socialist modernization power is built, we will fully realize the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, and the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system will be more consolidated and its advantages will be fully demonstrated. We should make unremitting efforts towards this goal with more firm institutional confidence, promote the continuous self-improvement and development of the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system, keep the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system full of vitality, provide stronger institutional guarantee for the country’s long-term stability and people’s happiness and well-being, and continue to write a wonderful chapter of "the rule of China" and "the miracle of China" with the "China system".

Media Watch | |Sora was born, how should we "check"?

Editor’s note:The appearance of Sora "World Simulator" marks another revolutionary reconstruction of information environment. Sora, based on Transformer and Diffusion model, has established a wide range of interaction between human/society and intelligent generation model in a real sense. The "Wensheng Video" generated by the whole people far exceeds deep forgery in terms of generation magnitude and detection difficulty, and shows its potential destructive effect on the real media as an "iterative universal version" of deep forgery. Zhang Menghan, an associate professor, and Chen Ze, a doctoral student, wrote in the 4th issue of Media Watch in 2024 that Sora, which takes "100 million parameters" as the data learning unit, has brought the alienation of the gatekeeper relationship. The gatekeeper activities carried out by the media, platforms and the public in accordance with the existing gatekeeper relationship will not only help the public to reduce external uncertainty and ensure the order of information, but will aggravate the disorder of information systems. The change of technical environment calls for the timely debugging and promotion of the theory of gatekeeper. In this context, the check should first be understood as the process of helping the public to establish meaningful contact with the real society with news truth. Whether the gatekeeper theory can get rid of the metaphor of "action" and return to the ontological meaning of social function is directly related to its theoretical and practical significance in the era of generative artificial intelligence.

 

Under the background of the emergence of artificial intelligence video with Sora as the "starting point", which leads to the loss of our perception of the reliability of the outside world, how to promote the matching between the gate-keeping theory and the peak of technological development? Perhaps we need to start from the technology itself and take "reverse engineering" as the cutting-in way, so as to launch an anatomical comprehensive observation. According to Hettne’s point of view, the more complicated a problem is, the more we need to return to its underlying mechanism and the space where "events" occur, so that we can effectively explain and respond to reality. Specifically, the gatekeeper theory-in the newspaper era, it is to observe the daily work of Mr. Gates in the newsroom, and in the digital era, it is to analyze the consequences of the decentralization of gatekeeper power and dismantle the black box of algorithm with theoretical tools and technology. The complex technical schema of artificial intelligence requires us to return to the "device" that most intuitively records the characteristics, modes and operating mechanisms of related artificial intelligence technologies, that is, to take the specific technical structure as the perspective.

Because the code segment of OpenAI is not open source, this paper focuses on the technical architecture features of Sora, and takes the open source generative AI code "DF Software For All" which is based on the same model (Transformer and Differentiation) as an exploratory supplement. This paper mainly explores why Sora’s technical framework subverts the existing gatekeeper mechanism and the structural impact of the change of gatekeeper relationship on the social system, and tries to explore the possibility of advancing the gatekeeper theory in Sora era on this basis.

Beyond Deep Forgery: Risk of Failure of Gatekeeper under the Reorganization of Human/Machine Model Relationship

When we make a technical comparison between deep forgery and Sora, we can more clearly and intuitively understand the overall impact of Sora on the existing customs control system.

First of all, deep forgery technology does not have the actual "intelligence", that is, it does not form an effective connection between the public and the machine model. According to Burkell, "deep forgery is a tool of experts in a few fields, but it has no use for the public", thus "it is far from the original intention pursued by artificial intelligence". Under the technical threshold, the number of deeply forged videos in circulation is relatively limited. According to the statistics of ContentDetector.AI, between 2017 and 2023, the total number of deeply forged videos on the global Internet is about 500,000. Among them, 96% are "pornographic forged" content, and the rest are related to political, economic, entertainment and other topics. The proportion of deeply forged videos with the possibility of "causing social unrest" is only 4%. It is these more than 20,000 deeply forged videos that have made human society step into the "false information age" and opened the prelude to the "end of the gatekeeper role" of journalism.

Different from deep forgery, OpenAI "bridges" through a series of technologies, making Sora the first social technology in the history of artificial intelligence that allows everyone to connect with the video generation model. In a real sense, the artificial intelligence video generation model completes the transformation from "domain technology" to "public product"-users don’t need to know how to transmit the coded information matrix output by Encoder to Decoder, and they don’t need to use any complicated CGI(Computer Generated Images) tools. Anyone can get a video that is enough to confuse the fake with the real by uploading a text narrative. If deep forgery challenges the traditional way of checking the customs based on the naked eye, then the emergence of Sora leads us into an era of "mass production" of "the catastrophe of false information", as Steven Levy said. We may imagine the following situation: When there are countless AI news videos such as "Biden dies, Harris is acting president" and "National motor vehicles are restricted" in one day, the chaos in the information field will also lead to the disorder of the social system. Under the interaction between numerous user nodes and Sora, the total amount of "Wensheng Video" generated in one day may exceed the sum of deeply forged videos in the past five years. This is bound to have a subversive impact on the existing customs control system, customs control methods and customs control strategies, and lead to disorder of the information environment.

Secondly, in view of the technical characteristics of deep forgery, there are many features in the generated video that can be identified and detected. For example, edge artifacts of image frames, fidelity changes during facial deformation, frame sequence residuals, etc. Sora follows the learning process of "accumulation-understanding-output", rather than the "synthesis" process of deeply forging "A+B", and there is no technical feature brought by "image fusion". Therefore, although Sora still has some problems such as the inability to accurately simulate the physical state of interaction, the existing technologies such as Reality Defender and The Fact are also difficult to accurately identify Sora videos. In this context, the "human +AI" collaborative mode proposed by Felix Simon has become an idealized idea. When neither manual check nor "machine check" can complete the identification of Sora video, the significance of check itself will dissipate.

Although Sora is still a "beta version" only used by artists, film producers and other groups, the last version history of AI-generated video, namely deep forgery, has shown us its comprehensive impact on the social information exchange order. According to Meckel’s view, the deeply forged carriage is carrying human beings away from the stable real world. However, Sora based on Transformer and Diffusion model is far superior to deep forgery in terms of generation order, detection difficulty and potential destructiveness. If deep forgery is the beginning of the separation of human beings from the stable real world, then Sora’s subversion of the existing control mechanism will undoubtedly lead us into a Dystopia dominated by gamism.

The more checks, the more chaos? Reconstruction of "Truth Appearing Mechanism" under the Condition of Alienation

The standard of action in the "field" of news control consists of two basic logics. The first is the control of "possibility set" from the perspective of cybernetics, which determines which information can be selected and flowed out of the "pipeline". The second is the core requirement of journalistic professional ethics for news gatekeepers, that is, the issue of authenticity. It can be seen that there are "two barriers" in news control, namely, content barrier and fact barrier. News gatekeepers need to select "news that can be released" from a series of "information materials" under the joint influence of importance, publicity, profit objectives, etc., so as to complete the content level; It is also necessary to ensure the authenticity of the selected information through "fact check".

Through the analysis of the second part of "DF Software For All" code, it can be found that in the training process of neural network, the number of images on each side has reached 500-5000. Such an intensive amount of training "is enough to make it impossible for human beings to judge the authenticity through the naked eye." Compared with "DF Software For All", Sora has achieved a qualitative leap in both the training amount and the learning database size. At present, Sora has begun to use videos from Shutterstock database and public network as training materials, and the training amount of its generated videos has to be calculated in units of "100 million parameters", far exceeding the training amount of any known model. This means that Sora will have a stronger ability to "confuse the real with the fake". A large number of AI-generated videos can easily bypass the "fact barrier" of traditional gatekeepers based on naked eye observation. In the past, the fact-checking mode based on "manual" is no longer able to cope with such a complicated technical situation.

The failure of the "fact gateway" will lead to a huge impact on the "content gateway". The original operation mechanism of "content gateway" is: on the basis of ensuring the authenticity of news, the gatekeeper shakes a "news screen" woven by "vines" such as market, political system and audience, so that some information with large granularity can flow into the information system, thus "countless event information is converted into controllable media information". Generally speaking, the size of information particles is determined by the degree of fit with the news value judgment system. In other words, if a piece of information is more important, novel and interesting, it is more likely to be processed into news by the gatekeeper and spread quickly in the information system.

However, for the video news generated by Sora, because it can be produced in an imaginative way out of reality, everyone can adjust the inherent properties of the generated video at will by editing the text content, and create a large-grained news that is difficult to distinguish between true and false. If you want the importance of "news" to be more prominent, you can set the video subject to the White House or the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield. If you want "news" to be more exciting, you can take conflict and violence as the keynote of video narration. The granularity of information has changed from the objective attribute of information to the control panel that can be dragged at will. The "content check" by the media, the public and the platform based on the granularity of information will not only accelerate the entropy increase of the information system, but also bring about the alienation of the existing check relationship.

The platform and the public have respectively formed a profit-oriented algorithm and a self-determination logic dominated by personal interests. Driven by the pressure of survival and traffic competition, the media’s gatekeeper activities are gradually dominated by the gatekeeper logic of the public and the platform. It can be said that the appearance of the internet has completely changed the traditional relationship between customs and gates. However, when the gatekeeper relationship reconstructed by the Internet collides head-on with the "Wensheng Video" represented by Sora, a new crisis of the information system arises. The gatekeeper activities carried out according to the existing gatekeeper relationship will not only fail to exert its "living functional order", that is, help the public reduce external uncertainty and play the role of ordering information, but will aggravate the disorder of the information system.

According to Masip and others, the public always prefers those "novel, exciting and interesting" contents to "events in daily life". The simulation and creativity of Sora make the information content generated by SORA have almost unlimited space in satisfying the public’s excitement and interest. The sharing rate, dissemination rate, diffusion range and interactive attraction of this kind of information "usually far exceed an ordinary and important news". Therefore, the public’s personal interest-oriented control is likely to become the diffuser of AI-generated video. Public praise, forwarding or discussion will promote the rapid spread of AI-generated videos in information systems and expand the coverage of potential negative impacts.

At the same time, the platform’s gatekeeper mechanism is also hijacked by the information characteristics of AI-generated videos and the public’s information preferences.

On the whole, the check-up mechanism of the platform is mainly composed of three parts. First, the platform itself checks after negative information or false information enters the public view. Second, it is the public voting mechanism. Thirdly, it is an intelligent distribution mechanism based on algorithms. In addition, the platform algorithm and the public’s gatekeeper power are actually "deprived" from traditional media. If the public and the platform get the power to check but can’t play the social function of checking, the pressure on the media will also increase. For news media, platforms and the public have become important channels for their news sources. Although the professional journalist team and editorial department can still be responsible for the first-hand news articles, it is difficult for the news media to complete the technical verification of "true and false discrimination" in a short time when the platform and public channels are flooded with a large number of AI-generated videos. At the same time, the news industry, which is "normally connected" with the platform, still needs to obey the timeliness needs of the public. Under the pressure of polluted information sources, difficult and time-consuming technical review of AI-generated videos, and timeliness competition among media, journalism can easily become the endorser of the "authenticity" of AI-generated videos. Once the credibility of journalism as the "final fact benchmark" collapses, it will lead to the risk of disorder of the whole information system and make us enter an era of pan-falsificationism. The so-called pan-falsificationism means that when individuals can’t distinguish the boundary between external reality and fictional things at all, they turn to face the media environment with a game mentality that can be grasped by individuals, and treat all information with the information concept of "not sure what is true is false".In this context, the social significance of news as a social tool has also dissipated, and it has become a "public toy".

Matching the peak of technology: the possibility of structural reconstruction of gatekeeper theory in the era of generative AI

The "intelligent emergence" of generative AI, represented by Sora, is promoting the structural change of the gate-keeping theory. In this context, the possible direction of the gatekeeper theory in the era of generative AI includes the following aspects.

First of all, it is about the adjustment of the focus of the theoretical connotation of gatekeeper. It can be said that the emergence of Sora subverts the self-evident premise assumption of the gatekeeper theory, that is, the question of "authenticity". In the pre-Internet era, the "authenticity" in the process of news media’s checking is an inevitable requirement of news, and it is also a basic premise that needs no elaboration. Thus, we saw the classic statement of shoemaker and Vos on the theory of gatekeeper: "Gatekeeper is the process of selecting and making limited information that people accept every day from countless pieces of information." Even after entering the Internet era, the truth of news has not been fundamentally challenged, and the focus of theoretical promotion is mostly placed on the new gatekeeper by researchers. For example, Wallace defines the theory of "the media, the platform and the public intercept the information they are interested in from the huge information flow according to their different orientations".

It can be seen that both shoemaker and Wallace have a default assumption when summarizing the theoretical boundaries, that is, "countless pieces of information" or "huge information flow" are all informational presentations of real-world movements, and the main tasks of the check are "interception" and "production". However, the "world simulator" represented by Sora is destroying the premise of this hypothesis. According to the prediction of Gartner Group, an American data analysis company, in the next three years, the information output by generative AI will account for 30% of the total information space. In the foreseeable future, "countless pieces of information" will be mixed with a large number of generated videos that are difficult to distinguish between authenticity and falsehood. In this context, the self-evident "authenticity" needs special attention in theory. Gatekeeper should first be understood as a process of identifying false information and helping the public to establish meaningful contact with the real society with the truth of news.

Secondly, it is to re-explore the relationship between "people". Nowadays, the gatekeeper relationship as a whole appears as two sides of a boundary-one side is the real world where the platform, the public and the media are located, and the other side is the iterative generative AI. Whether the border can be effectively checked determines the wandering situation of this border. The more the border moves in the direction of platform, media and the public, the more difficult it is for us to perceive the real world through the media. Whether it is the media, the public or the platform, it will face a crisis when the ontological security cannot be guaranteed. In this context, the gatekeeper relationship has the possibility that the media caters to the public interest and platform traffic logic and moves towards a cooperative relationship.

Finally, it is a return to the ontological meaning and social meaning of gatekeeper. The impact of Sora’s national generation and simulation characteristics on the information environment requires us to rethink the role and function of gatekeeper in the social system and focus on its ontological significance as a social function. From words (ChatGPT) to pictures (DALLE) to videos (Sora), as the "head sheep" in the field of generative AI, OpenAI has pieced together a media puzzle that spans the boundary between virtual and reality in just two years. The AI-generated content that simulates the physical world mediates the original solid connection between us and the real world. From a historical perspective, we have never had such a need to control the social function. In the era of generative AI, gatekeeper is no longer just a metaphor about gatekeeper, information receiver and channel, but the essential relationship between human and social truth, information system and social ecological order. In the face of the upcoming AI information tide, the "success" and "failure" of the gatekeeper is directly related to whether the public can still know and understand the real world through the media and act accordingly. How to reconstruct the "truth appearance mechanism" in the era of generative AI will become an important theoretical and practical problem in future research.

  With the rapid development of internet plus, digital reading has become an important way for people to acquire knowledge and information. According to the China Digital Reading Report 2020 released by China Audio-Visual and Digital Publishing Association, the digital reading industry in China will reach 35.16 billion yuan in 2020, with 494 million digital readers, 9.1 e-books and 6.3 audio books per capita.

  Digital reading has unlimited potential.

  "Recommend this book to you" "I saw this passage yesterday, which is very interesting and I want to share it with you" … … Similar words can often be seen in the chat records of Tingting, a post-90 s girl, and her friends. She and her friends are loyal users of a reading APP. When they read a good book and find a good sentence, they will turn it into a link and send it to each other.

  "I will take an hour to read books on the APP every day." Tingting told reporters that there are not a few readers like her. She added a WeChat group, including students studying, office workers older than herself, and even retirees. Whenever someone wants to team up to extract the free reading card of the APP, they will send a small program to the group to apply for a team. "It will be full in a short time."

  The 2020 Digital Reading Report of China shows that the scale of digital reading industry in China has gradually increased from 2016 to 2020, the scale of users has expanded, and the per capita digital reading volume has gradually increased. According to the China Children’s Digital Reading Report and the 18th National Reading Survey in China, the number of children under 7 years old and middle-aged and elderly people who participated in digital reading increased in 2020, indicating that the audience covers multiple age groups from children to the elderly.

  "It can be said that digital reading has ushered in the era of the whole people, which is a holistic reconstruction of social reading scenes." Weng Changshou, a researcher at the Center for Journalism and Social Development, School of Journalism, China Renmin University, told reporters that from the supply side, the Internet is booming, and the supply of e-books and online content has become the mainstream, and it is easier to obtain capital, technology and market empowerment, thus promoting the demand for digital content on the demand side. "In addition, because everyone is more accustomed to home activities during the epidemic prevention period, it has also stimulated the potential of digital reading to some extent."

  Net text drives the development of industrial chain

  Empresses in the Palace’s nirvana in fire, Joy of Life … … Momo, who works in Beijing, is one of a number of film and television dramas adapted from online texts that have appeared on TV and Internet, attracting a large audience. She told reporters that the plot content of the scriptwriter is guaranteed and highly viewable, and she usually reads the original while watching the drama. In her spare time, she will also read novels on the platform and reward for "urging more". Momo is just one of many paying readers. According to the 2020 China Digital Reading Report, more than 80% of the users who participated in the survey paid for digital reading, and nearly half of them paid for online literature.

  This trend reflects the new trend of network literature. Some analysts pointed out that in 2003, the "starting point" network officially began to operate the VIP system, and the author earned income by writing books, making online literature a new industry with sustainable development. Nowadays, online literature is not limited to the single mode of author writing and reader reading, but the whole industrial chain where the platform gathers professional writers to produce high-quality content, novels are adapted as IP, audiences and original readers watch dramas and buy peripheral products.

  Experts believe that the online literature industry has broken the traditional distinction between upstream and downstream, and formed an industrial chain, benefiting authors, platforms, producers and audiences.

  Explore multi-scene immersive reading

  The reporter learned that the picture book "The Twelve Zodiacs Hidden in Shanxi Museum" produced by Shanxi Museum presents 12 cultural relics in the collection that echo the twelve zodiac signs. With the help of AR technology, using mobile phone or tablet computer to scan the AR point in the picture book, the still cultural relics and animal images in the book can be "alive", and the historical stories and cultural connotations behind them can be vividly displayed on the screen. The limited picture book reading materials can be displayed through electronic products, and the expression form is more intuitive and the picture book connotation is richer, which attracts many children to experience.

  Technology empowerment is not only an iterative update of reading methods, but also a more diversified scene of digital reading.

  A dazzling array of bookshelves lined up in the screen, extending to the distance. Shake the phone and the angle of view will change; Click on the ground sign, and the lens will move forward through the narrow aisle. If you are interested in a book, click on the cover of the book, and you can know the details and place an order for purchase. In the VR Bookstore in Migu Xinyunshang, you can enter the 360-degree panoramic bookstore without leaving home, design the route according to your own wishes, and explore the store and buy books in the cloud.

  It is understood that many libraries and museums in China have used high-tech means to build a "cloud" visiting platform. The unimaginable reading scene in the past has now become a reality. Weng Changshou pointed out that 5G, AR, VR… … These professional words may sound far away, but they are embodied in communication technology and will bring readers a brand-new experience and real convenience. "The changes and impacts of new technologies are all-round, visible and tangible, and technological innovation will provide more imaginative space for future digital reading."

The surveillance video of the director "reported" by the insiders of Fujian Urban Management Bureau disappeared.

  Disappearing surveillance video leads to false accusation and framed case.

  A few days ago, the discipline inspection and supervision organs of Fuzhou City, Fujian Province used typical cases of false accusation and frame-up to carry out letters and visits propaganda activities, guided the masses to correctly exercise their right to report, and resolutely resisted false accusation and frame-up behavior. The picture shows that on July 9, the Supervision Committee of Fuqing Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, together with relevant functional departments, set up a publicity and consultation point in Jiangyin Town to answer questions for the masses and guide them to make reasonable and legal letters and visits.

  A few days ago, the Supervision Committee of the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Fuzhou City, Fujian Province publicly reported three typical cases of false accusations against others. Among them, the case of Ping Huang, the former captain of the Urban Management Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Brigade of Taijiang District Urban Management Bureau in Fuzhou, falsely accused and framed others, which aroused public concern.

  Ping Huang’s problem starts with two reports he sent out at the end of last year.

  Two "confusing" report materials

  At the end of 2018, Ma Zhengkun, director of the Taijiang District Urban Management Bureau of Fuzhou City, just took office and was labeled as "taking bribes".

  In October 2018, the Supervisory Committee of the Taijiang District Commission for Discipline Inspection received two reports in succession. One report letter reflected that Ma Zhengkun was engaged in a "one-word hall" in the unit, and the reporter signed 15 cadres and workers of the unit; Another video material is an image intercepted from the internal monitoring video of the unit, which reflects that Ma Zhengkun illegally accepted gifts from others.

  "So many cadres and workers report their real names, and there is video evidence. We must find out the problem!" The Supervisory Committee of the District Commission for Discipline Inspection attached great importance to it and immediately set up an investigation team to visit the District Urban Management Bureau. At the same time, the gossip that "the director was reported" also spread like wildfire in the unit, causing a great uproar.

  In order to find out the truth as soon as possible, the investigation team first started with the real name of the reporter, and talked about it one by one, but the performance of the "reporter" puzzled the investigators.

  "I didn’t participate in any report. I don’t know why my name is among the informants."

  "I have no idea. I don’t know what’s going on."

  "Director Ma is usually very nice. How can I report him?"

  … …

  In the investigation, 15 "whistleblowers" all indicated that they did not participate in the report. According to the conversation, the investigators found that Ma Zhengkun, in the eyes of the cadres of the unit, is honest and daring to work, although he has not been in office for a long time.

  Is someone reporting under an assumed name, or is there something else? With doubts, the investigation team simultaneously transferred the relevant internal monitoring of the Urban Management Bureau to verify the burned CDs and video screenshots attached to the report letter. However, the investigation team found that the monitoring records were missing, and the hard disk of the monitoring equipment was also replaced and disappeared.

  "There must be ‘ Article ’ !” With years of experience in handling cases, the investigators realized that this matter was not simple. "It must be the internal staff of the Urban Management Bureau who can tamper with the monitoring." Therefore, the investigation team made a decisive decision and interviewed several coordinators of the urban management brigade.

  In the face of the serious investigation of the organization, three of the coordinators admitted the fact that they participated in the report and transferred the monitoring equipment and deleted the monitoring records. The real reason for deleting the monitoring record is that the monitoring took pictures of the "behind-the-scenes planner" who instructed them to report the report. In order to cover up the evidence, they tampered with the surveillance video.

  On the other hand, the investigation team interviewed the reported person Ma Zhengkun to verify his "illegal acceptance of gifts from others". "Yes, I asked my old friend to help me buy some special crops, but I paid him off on the spot that night." In response to Ma Zhengkun’s answer, the investigation team conducted a verification with relevant personnel, and confirmed what Ma Zhengkun said was true through multiple evidence testimonies.

  As the investigation gradually approached the truth, the "planners" behind the two reports were also locked at the same time. The initiator of this incident was Ping Huang, the former captain of the Urban Management Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Brigade of the District Urban Management Bureau.

  The whistleblower maliciously falsely accused for his own selfish interests.

  It turned out that after Ma Zhengkun took office, he attached great importance to fulfilling the main responsibility of building a clean and honest government. Through investigation, interview and other forms, he analyzed the positions of the unit’s integrity risk, and combined everyone’s opinions, and planned to adjust individual people who have been in the positions of integrity risk for a long time. Ping Huang, on the other hand, thinks that the adjustment plan has not adopted his personal opinions, and "one of our own" has been adjusted again. In the long run, his position in the bureau will certainly be affected.

  Just for selfish reasons, fearing that the personnel adjustment would move the "cheese" within the scope of his power, Ping Huang was dissatisfied and came up with this "trick" of false accusation and frame-up. He secretly instructed the three coordinators of the brigade to exaggerate and fabricate distorted facts according to hearsay and wrote a report letter. In order to make the tip-off letter more convincing, he even falsely accused 15 cadres and workers of the bureau without telling the parties.

  After Ping Huang learned that Ma Zhengkun had asked a friend to buy special products, it was be in heaven who collected "evidence" and made it into video material to report it again. In addition, Ping Huang also spread all kinds of negative news about Ma Zhengkun in the company, and distributed the report materials indiscriminately in an attempt to damage Ma Zhengkun’s reputation to the greatest extent.

  "I shouldn’t be self-interested, psychologically dark, not talking about political rules, having bad political conduct and lacking a moral bottom line. When I know that it is inconsistent with the facts, I make things out of nothing, exaggerate the facts, plan behind the scenes, and deliberately accuse others." After the results of the investigation came out, the Supervisory Committee of the Taijiang District Commission for Discipline Inspection held a system-wide cadre meeting in the urban management bureau where Ma Zhengkun was located, clarifying the facts in time and exonerating Ma Zhengkun. Ping Huang also made a profound review of his wrong behavior at the general party membership meeting of the District Urban Management System and the meeting of cadres and workers, and apologized to Ma Zhengkun.

  In February 2019, Ping Huang was dismissed from his post in the Party and removed from his post in government affairs, and his rank was reduced from a deputy-level leadership position to a clerk, and he was notified in the whole region.

  Take measures to create "amulets" for innocent cadres.

  "Although the Qing dynasty is self-cleaning, once it is reported, others will inevitably think that I really have a problem. Although the cost of rumors is small, it is very lethal. Fortunately, the organization helped me clarify in time and gave me an innocence. " After the matter came to an end, Ma Zhengkun said so frankly.

  And his concern is precisely the problem that many grassroots cadres are facing.

  In recent years, in the process of building a "new Fuzhou", a number of party member cadres have emerged who dare to venture and try. However, taking responsibility is sometimes accompanied by risks. Cadres will inevitably touch the "cheese" of some vested interests in the process of starting a business, and then they will be questioned or even framed.

  This situation has also happened in the process of environmental improvement in Minhou County of this city. "The environmental improvement work in many towns and villages is in full swing, but because the demolition work touches the interests of illegal construction workers, some urban management law enforcement team members and local village Committee leaders who are specifically responsible for implementing relevant work have been falsely reported." A discipline inspection and supervision cadre in Minhou County said, "In the long run, the enthusiasm of cadres will inevitably be affected and the officers will become timid."

  How to get rid of this "dishwashing effect" of "doing more and making more mistakes, doing less and making fewer mistakes" and solve the worries of some party member cadres who "have a sword in one hand and a shield in the other"?

  "Serious investigation is the key, and the discipline inspection and supervision organs must first take responsibility." The main person in charge of the Supervision Committee of the Fuzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection said, "For the officers in charge, we must support and encourage them in a clear-cut manner; Those who falsely accuse and frame should be dealt with seriously according to the rules and regulations, so that those who falsely accuse and frame will pay the price. " The relevant person in charge of the Supervision Committee of the Fuzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection said.

  In 2017, the Fuzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection informed the society of the case of false accusation for the first time, and seriously investigated and dealt with the false accusers, supporting the cadres in Shanglian Township, Minqing County who were in the front line of flood control and disaster relief, but were falsely accused of leaving their posts. Later, the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Minhou County clarified the facts for Liu, the mayor of a town who was falsely accused, and the Supervision Committee of the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Changle District promptly clarified the name of the village cadres who were falsely reflected during the change of village-level organizations … … In May 2019, the Supervision Committee of the Fuzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection promptly forwarded the "Implementation Measures for the Investigation and Punishment of False Accusations and Frames by the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Organs of Fujian Province (Trial)" issued by the Supervision Committee of the Fujian Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, strictly investigated false accusations and frames, and clarified false reports as "routine actions".

  In addition to serious investigation, source prevention is the key. To this end, the Supervision Committee of the Fuzhou Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection insists on "diligent guidance", goes deep into villages and towns to carry out next-visit activities, guides the masses to correctly exercise their reporting rights, encourages real-name reporting and provides necessary investigation clues or evidence, and reduces the possibility of false accusation and frame-up because there is no evidence.

  In addition, all counties and districts in Fuzhou also organized party member cadres to attend the trial activities of related cases punished for false accusation and frame-up. Starting with ideological education, they stopped the wind of false accusation and created "amulets" for cadres who were innocent.

[Interpretation of a picture] What can South Korea and the United States do if they insist on deploying the "Sade" anti-missile system in South Korea?

On July 8, 2016, the United States and South Korea announced that they had reached an agreement to deploy the advanced missile defense system "Sade" in South Korea, which is expected to be put into use at the end of next year.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China: "Strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition!"

In this regard, China’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement today, expressing strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition to the announcement by the United States that it will deploy the "Sade" anti-missile system in South Korea.

The deployment of the "Sade" anti-missile system by the United States and South Korea will not help to achieve the goal of denuclearization of the peninsula, and will not be conducive to maintaining peace and stability on the peninsula. It runs counter to the efforts of all parties to solve the problem through dialogue and consultation, and will seriously damage the strategic security interests and regional strategic balance of countries in the region, including China.

China strongly urges the United States and South China to stop the deployment process of the "Sade" anti-missile system, not to take actions that complicate the regional situation, and not to do anything that harms South’s strategic security interests.

Russian Foreign Ministry: "This move makes us very worried."

The Russian Foreign Ministry announced on July 8 that it was "very worried" about this move. The Russian Foreign Ministry also said: "In this way, the United States will continue to increase the potential of the Asia-Pacific region of the global anti-missile system while supporting its allies, which will undermine the strategic balance that has been formed in the Asia-Pacific region and other regions."

The two countries also indicated that the deployment location of the "Sade" system is expected to be released in mid-July at the earliest. At present, candidate locations include Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province, Wonju, South gangwon, Yincheng, Chungcheongbuk Province and Qigu, Gyeongsangbuk Province in South Korea. It is expected that the "Sade" system will be deployed in central South Korea or Gyeonggi area.

What exactly is the "Sade" system? How does it work? Let’s take a look at — —

What is the power of "Sade", which will attract many concerns?

Concerned about the deployment of the "Sade" missile system by the United States in South Korea, relevant countries including China are not only worried that it can intercept several missiles, but more importantly, once the United States and South Korea deploy the "Sade" missile system in South Korea,It is equivalent to installing "peeping" eyes and "eavesdropping" ears at your doorstep — —

Thus, although the United States and South Korea say that this move is not aimed at any third country, "Si Mazhao’s heart is well known"! The intention of the United States and South Korea is now not only to deal with North Korea’s nuclear and missile threats — —

The deployment of the "Sade" system is not a defense but an attack.

The X-band radar used in the "Sade" system has a detection radius of over 1,200 kilometers. If deployed in South Korea, the range of this radar will go deep into the hinterland of the Asian continent, posing a threat to neighboring countries including China and Russia. From this perspective, the deployment of the "Sade" anti-missile system in South Korea is not only aimed at North Korea. As the saying goes, "Xiang Zhuang’s sword dance is intended to be repeatedly used." From the perspective of international relations, the deployment of the "Sade" system is by no means a defense, but an attack, or an attack with a very sharp spear.

The deployment of "Sade" damages the strategic balance of the region and is not conducive to the denuclearization of the peninsula.

Peace on the peninsula is inherently fragile. In the case of a serious lack of mutual trust, the deployment of the "Sade" system will undoubtedly make the regional situation more complicated and run counter to the efforts of all parties to solve problems through dialogue and consultation. Not only does it not help to achieve the goal of denuclearization of the peninsula, it is not conducive to maintaining peace and stability on the peninsula, but it will also seriously damage the strategic security interests and regional strategic balance of countries in the region, including China. In this case, other countries in the region will naturally express strong dissatisfaction and will take effective countermeasures.

What’s the price of palm oil in China? What are the fluctuation factors of palm oil price in China?

In recent years, the palm oil market in China has shown significant price fluctuations, which not only affects the balance between supply and demand in the domestic edible oil market, but also has a far-reaching impact on the stable operation of related industrial chains. Palm oil is an important edible oil and industrial raw material, and its price fluctuation is affected by many factors, including supply and demand, international market price, policy regulation and climate change.

First of all, the relationship between supply and demand is one of the core factors affecting the price of palm oil. As one of the largest palm oil importers in the world, China’s domestic demand changes directly affect the price trend in the international market. In recent years, with the improvement of living standards of China residents and the rapid development of food processing industry, the demand for palm oil has been increasing continuously. However, the uncertainty of supply, such as the fluctuation of output in the main producing countries and the change of export policies, will lead to the imbalance between supply and demand in the market, which in turn will lead to price fluctuations.

Secondly, the international market price is also an important factor affecting the price of palm oil in China. Since palm oil in China mainly depends on imports, the price fluctuation in the international market will be quickly transmitted to the domestic market. For example, Malaysia and Indonesia, as the world’s largest palm oil producers, changes in their output and export policies will have a direct impact on international palm oil prices. In addition, fluctuations in international crude oil prices will indirectly affect palm oil prices through changes in the demand for biodiesel.

Policy control is also a factor that cannot be ignored. China government’s regulatory policies on edible oil market, such as import tariffs and quota management, will have an impact on palm oil prices. For example, the government may control the price level of domestic palm oil by adjusting import tariffs to ensure the stability of the domestic edible oil market. In addition, the change of environmental protection policy may also affect the production and consumption of palm oil, and then affect the price.

Climate change is another important factor. Palm oil production is mainly concentrated in tropical areas, and climatic conditions have a direct impact on palm oil production. For example, El Niñ o and La Niñ a will lead to changes in rainfall and temperature in the main producing areas, which will further affect palm oil production. Climate change will not only lead to short-term price fluctuations, but also have a far-reaching impact on the long-term market supply and demand pattern.

In order to show the influence of these factors on palm oil prices more intuitively, the following table lists the main fluctuations of palm oil prices in China in recent years and their related factors:

To sum up, the fluctuation of palm oil price in China is the result of many factors. Understanding these factors is of great significance for market participants to formulate reasonable investment strategies and risk management measures. In the future, with the change of global economic situation and the adjustment of policy environment, the fluctuation of palm oil price will remain a focus worthy of attention.

The person in charge of the Ministry of Education answered reporters’ questions on "Education Modernization in China 2035" and "Implementation Plan for Accelerating Education Modernization (2018-2022)

  Draw a grand blueprint for the new era, accelerate the modernization of education and build an educational power.

  — — The person in charge of the Ministry of Education answered reporters’ questions on "Education Modernization in China 2035" and "Implementation Plan for Accelerating Education Modernization (2018-2022)"

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, February 23rd Recently, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued "China Education Modernization 2035", and the general offices of the General Office of the Central Committee of the CPC and the State Council issued "Implementation Plan for Accelerating Education Modernization (2018-2022)" (hereinafter referred to as "Implementation Plan"). The head of the Ministry of Education answered the reporter’s questions about the two documents.

  Q: Please introduce the background and significance of the compilation of China Education Modernization 2035.

  A: The formulation of educational modernization documents is an important strategic deployment made by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council when Socialism with Chinese characteristics enters a new era. It is also an important measure to implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the spirit of the National Education Conference and accelerate the modernization of education.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has unswervingly implemented the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education and strengthening the country through talents, insisted on giving priority to the development of education, vigorously promoted comprehensive reform in the field of education, continuously increased investment in education, accelerated the modernization of education, and achieved all-round and groundbreaking historical achievements. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly stated that building an educational power is the basic project for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and we must give priority to education, deepen educational reform, speed up educational modernization, and run a satisfactory education for the people. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has given instructions on education for many times, emphasizing the development of modern education with China characteristics and world level, which has pointed out the direction for building an educational power.

  Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and the basic, leading and overall status and role of education have become more prominent. To speed up the step towards an innovative country, build a modern economic system, build a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modern power, realize the Chinese dream of great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and meet the people’s needs for a better life, we must speed up the modernization of education and build China into an educational power. From a global perspective, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial revolution are gestating, major scientific and technological innovations are leading new changes in social production, the development of new technologies such as the Internet and artificial intelligence is constantly reshaping the educational form, and the ways of knowledge acquisition and teaching, and the relationship between teaching and learning are undergoing profound changes. The people’s demand for education is more diverse, and the demand for higher quality, fairer and more personalized education is more urgent. We must seize the opportunity, advance the layout, make strategic arrangements and overall designs for accelerating the modernization of education and building an educational power with a higher historical position, a broader international vision and a deeper strategic vision, so as to push China’s education forward in a higher quality, more efficient, fairer and more sustainable direction.

  Since the reform and opening up, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council have successively promulgated the Outline of China’s Education Reform and Development, the Outline of the National Medium-and Long-Term Education Reform and Development Plan (2010-2020) and other programmatic documents, which have effectively guided and promoted the education reform and development in different historical periods. The year 2035 is an important time node for China to basically realize socialist modernization. It is of great practical significance and far-reaching historical significance to draw a long-term blueprint for educational development, point out the direction for opening a new journey of educational modernization in the new era, and cultivate a new generation of socialist builders and successors. The compilation of "China Education Modernization 2035" is also a practical action for China to actively participate in global education governance, fulfill its commitment to the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and contribute China wisdom, China experience and China’s program to the development of world education.

  Q: Please tell us about the positioning of the two documents.

  A: The two documents are combined far and near, each with its own division of labor and emphasis, which together constitute the top-level design and action plan of educational modernization.

  China Education Modernization 2035 is China’s first medium-and long-term strategic plan with the theme of education modernization. It is a programmatic document to promote education modernization and build an educational power in the new era. It is positioned as an overall, strategic and instructive plan. Compared with previous medium-and long-term educational plans, it has a longer time span and focuses on goal orientation. It is based on the overall strategic arrangement of Socialism with Chinese characteristics construction in the new era, starting from two centennial goals and the overall situation of national modernization. On the basis of summarizing the achievements and experiences of educational reform and development since the reform and opening up, especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, this paper describes the prospect of educational development in the future, systematically outlines the strategic vision of China’s educational modernization, and defines the strategic objectives, tasks and implementation paths of educational modernization.

  The next five years will be the historical intersection of realizing the two centennial goals, the key period of implementing the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the spirit of the National Education Conference, and laying the foundation for realizing the goal of educational modernization in 2035, and also the connecting period between the outline of medium-and long-term education planning, the closing of the 13th Five-Year Plan and the beginning of the 14th Five-Year Plan.

Carry out the pilot reform of educational modernization in batches, innovate the system and mechanism, and fully release the vitality of educational development.

  The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that education is a major plan of the country and the party. Education is the common cause of the whole party and society. It is a long-term process to speed up the modernization of education and build an educational power. We must draw a blueprint to the end and persevere for a long time. The education system will closely unite around the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, strengthen responsibility, forge ahead with determination, implement the central decision-making and deployment, fully implement the party’s education policy, and turn the "four self-confidences" into self-confidence in running China education well.

Our department will timely summarize and publicize the typical experiences and practices of promoting educational modernization in various places and schools, and also hope that all sectors of society will care, support and actively participate in educational modernization, create a good ecological and social atmosphere for educational reform and development, and jointly create a new situation in educational modernization in the new era.

We are using "abstraction" and "stalk" to quietly abolish the brains of young people.

Author | Talk Jun

A word "yyds" can replace all praise, and a word "Juejuezi" can cover all feelings. We are losing the ability of complex expression and the desire to think deeply …

Hello, I’m talk Jun.

"Do you know what’ YYDS’ means?"

"Is the eternal god, who doesn’t know now? How convenient it is to use yyds for everything! "

When our discourse system is simplified to a few abbreviations and network stalks, we lose not only the richness of language, but also the depth and breadth of thinking.

Language is simplified, and thinking is also simplified.

If you carefully observe the current network communication, you will find that simple expressions such as "yyds" (eternal god), "xswl" (laughing me to death) and "Juejuezi" are replacing rich Chinese vocabulary.

A word "yyds" can replace all these words: wonderful, excellent, outstanding and shocking.

This simplification trend is not only reflected in the language, but also penetrated into the thinking mode.

When we use "Juejuezi" to sum up all our feelings, we no longer need to think about "where is this thing good", "why is it good" and "what feelings it brings to me".

The thinking process is compressed into a conditioned reflex.

The popularity of this expression is essentially a manifestation of "inertia of thinking". Young people are increasingly reluctant to engage in complex thinking that requires cognitive resources, and prefer simple, direct and unexplained communication.

Abstract Culture: Gentle Psychic Anesthetic

Abstract culture originated from the network subculture. At first, it was a gentle rebellion of young people against the mainstream cultural order, and the discipline was deconstructed by joking.

But now, it has evolved into a widespread cultural phenomenon.

In 2024, "abstraction" became a buzzword for young people to socialize online. They show the so-called "real and vivid self" through relaxed and funny content and unique and even "wonderful" interpretation perspective.

Different from the traditional criticism of "entertainment to death", some people think that abstract culture provides young people with an "outlet of spiritual resistance" to help them overcome routine, seriousness and even difficulties in life with self-mockery and unexpected humor.

But this "resistance" is actually a kind of abandonment. When we respond to everything with "hahaha" and "laughing to death", we are actually avoiding deep thinking about the nature of things.

Circle illusion: we are all "one of our own"

The most ingenious thing about abstract culture is that it creates an illusion of circle identity.

When you know how to use those network stems and specific expressions, you seem to have joined a secret club. Only those who know these stems can feel the happiness of being understood in the same circle. It becomes a circle identification mechanism.

Those who don’t understand these stalks are naturally excluded from the dialogue.

This layered communication creates the so-called "social code", which breaks the apathy of interpersonal relationship with symbolic interaction and promotes in-depth communication.

But this "deep communication" is actually extremely superficial. When we all use the same words and expressions, we are just repeating mechanically, and we don’t really share our unique thoughts and feelings.

Algorithm of how to kill thinking ability by traffic supremacy

The popularity of this abstract culture is not accidental, but the result of collusion with the content ecology of traffic supremacy.

Algorithm recommendation technology has been deeply integrated into various fields and scenarios. It accurately provides various services by capturing users’ daily usage data and analyzing users’ behaviors, habits and preferences.

But this technology is a "double-edged sword". The algorithm recommends that users’ preferences should be the guide, and a large number of similar content should be pushed continuously, which isolates users in a closed information space and hinders the flow of diverse information.

At the same time, the time spent reading books, newspapers and other traditional books has been greatly reduced, which directly leads to insufficient knowledge reserves and difficulty in expanding vocabulary.

When they need to express complex views and emotions, they often find themselves lacking the ability to organize and have in-depth language.

Network language is concise, vivid and interesting, and expression packs are widely used in social activities. However, long-term dependence on these expression tools will make young people’s communication single and modular, and weaken their ability to accurately express their thoughts and feelings in standardized language.

What are we losing?

When we are immersed in this simple and exciting content, we are losing some valuable abilities.

We have lost the ability to concentrate on deep reading. Fragmented reading requires interesting and concise text content, and videos and pictures are important weapons to attract readers.

Network segments only spread eye-catching superficial and easy-to-understand entertainment content, and rarely provide detailed data and facts.

We have lost the ability to think complex. When we are used to summarizing complex phenomena with simple labels, we no longer need to analyze multiple dimensions of problems and understand the complexity of things.

Most importantly, we have lost the ability to express ourselves truly. When we all use the same network expression, our personality is actually erased.

We thought we were showing ourselves, but in fact we were just repeating the collective discourse.

Neil Pozmann warned in "Entertainment to Death":

"Our politics, religion, news, sports and business are all willing to be vassals of entertainment, without complaint or even silence. As a result, we have become a species of entertainment to death."

Behind the "abstract" carnival is our escape from the complexity of life. When we use "Juejuezi" to sum up all the beauty and "emo" to refer to all the sadness, we lose the ability to experience those subtle and real emotions.

Language is not only a tool for communication, but also a framework for thinking. When we simplify language, we also simplify our thinking and our understanding of this complex world.

When we feel a sense of belonging to the same set of slang, we are actually giving up the truly unique thinking-that is our most precious thing.

Cctv news The first female dean of Peking University University of Economics in the past 100 years, the first female winner of "John Bickley Award", the highest honor in the international insurance industry, and the 2016 national March 8 Red Flag Bearer & HELIP; … Sun Qixiang’s label, each one is dazzling enough.

After going to the mountains, going to the countryside, working, and staying abroad, I have developed a "profound and simple" Sun Qixiang through my complicated and diverse life experiences. She is a well-known female face in economics, leading the frontier development of risk management and insurance in China, and writing inspirational poems about women’s growth and value realization.

The First Female Dean of Centennial College

"Once I decide to do something, I will go all out to do it as best as I can." Sun Qixiang, who is now over 60 years old, has walked calmly and solidly on the road of life.

In 1973, Sun Qixiang graduated from high school and went to the countryside. He was the first to leave work every day and the last to call it a day, and successfully joined the party. After returning to the city as an operator, I grew from an ordinary operator to a political cadre in just three years because of my excellent work.

While studying at school, Sun Qixiang’s potential as a "female schoolmaster" gradually emerged. In 1979, Sun Qixiang was admitted to the Economics Department of Lanzhou University, and then he made his mark in the economics field with a paper entitled "The fundamental way out lies in reforming the state ownership form". She studied under Professor Xiao Zhuoji, a famous economist, and graduated from Peking University with the status of "Top Ten Postgraduates in Peking University", where she stayed as a teacher.

In 1993, Peking University set up a major in insurance. She transferred from a familiar major in economics to a new major in insurance and went to the United States to study for one year. After returning from school, she refused the annual salary of 300,000 yuan offered by the headhunting company and took the post of insurance professional director with a monthly salary of more than 400 yuan.

In 2010, Sun Qixiang became the first female dean in the century-old history of Peking University University of Economics. She dared to take responsibility, be innovative and made remarkable achievements.

The insurance major of Peking University, for which she was the first director, was approved as a "characteristic major" of national "quality engineering"; The China Insurance and Social Security Research Center of Peking University, led by her, won the title of "Peking University Excellent Scientific Research Center" for three consecutive years; The book "Insurance" written by her has successively become a national planning textbook, with a second edition, and has been selected as a designated or recommended textbook by insurance finance majors in dozens of domestic colleges and universities.

She is also a familiar face in international academic exchanges. The only Chinese mainland scholar on the board of directors of the International Insurance Association, the first Chinese mainland scholar who was invited to read an academic paper at the annual meeting of the American Risk and Insurance Association (1996), and the first Asian who appeared in the journal of the American Risk and Insurance Association as a character. As the former chairman of the Asia-Pacific Risk and Insurance Society, Sun Qixiang has made academic footprints all over the world and worked tirelessly to become an external pathfinder and leader of the risk management and insurance circles in China.

The true nature of teachers: training "capitalized people"

Sun Qixiang has many titles, but her favorite title is "teacher". She insists on starting classes every semester. She has taught thousands of students and taught more than 100 graduate students, many of whom have become pillars of all walks of life. Sun Qixiang’s understanding of education is "to cultivate and bring up people who are useful to society".

How to make a century-old college, the birthplace of economics in China, more brilliant after becoming the dean? She felt the heavy pressure.

Sun Qixiang often said that the goal of Jing Yuan is to inject excellent "genes" into future master scholars, entrepreneurs and politicians, but the first thing to cultivate is "capitalized people" with sound personality.

While "preaching and teaching", Sun Qixiang used various opportunities to "dispel doubts" for students. Although she is very busy at work, she still takes time to talk with her students and learn about their study and life. Her "dean’s mailbox" is open to faculty and students; "Dean’s Reception Day" once a month; Students’ academic papers are always full of her numerous corrections; She always replies to students’ inquiries in time and teaches her experience without reservation.

Some people say that no university in the world is so closely linked with the destiny of the world, country and nation as Peking University, and no school of economics of a university is so closely linked with the economic development of the country as Peking University School of Economics. Sun Qixiang asked himself: Peking University makes people stop at the mountain. What kind of stone have you added to this mountain? What kind of flow have you contributed to this sea? "Only by hard work and dedication can we be worthy of this honor and continue to write the glorious mission of the School of Economics for a hundred years!"

"Only when women stand on their own feet can they be stronger"

On the wall of the reception area on the first floor of Peking University School of Economics, there are pictures of the presidents (directors) of this famous university in various periods over the past hundred years. Sun Qixiang is the only female face.

She never stopped thinking about the value of women. "The value of women is the value of self-existence and self-realization." Sun Qixiang believes that today’s society provides many opportunities for women, and as long as they continue to work hard to do what they are interested in, they will certainly succeed. "Your attitude, not your talent, will determine your height." She exhorted her female compatriots on various occasions: be kind to yourself and always be grateful; Reflect on myself three times a day and think about whether I am hard enough and good enough; Do your best, live high’s wonderful.

Sun Qixiang’s favorite female qualities are: soft body but strong will, confident but humble and studious, resolute but gentle, independent but kind and easy-going. She has been trying to be someone she appreciates.

After more than 20 years of hard work, Sun Qixiang has become a recognized academic leader in the field of risk management and insurance in China, and has made outstanding contributions to the teaching, scientific research, international academic exchange, leading the construction of academic echelon and comprehensive academic influence of risk management and insurance.

On February 27th, 2017, the All-China Women’s Federation decided to award 10 outstanding women the honorary title of "National March 8th Red Flag Bearer", including Sun Qixiang. (Editor/Yu Xiaodan Internship Editor/Xu Keyue Acknowledgement/All-China Women’s Federation Propaganda Department)
