However, at present, there are still some places that do not pay enough attention to the requirements of high-quality patent development, fail to implement them effectively, and blindly pursue quantitative indicators. Abnormal patent application behavior that does not aim at protecting innovation still exists, which seriously disrupts the administrative order, harms public interests, hinders enterprise innovation, wastes public resources and destroys the patent system. In order to strictly implement the requirements of high-quality development, further standardize the patent application behavior, improve the quality of patent application, and eliminate the abnormal patent application behavior not aimed at protecting innovation, the relevant matters are hereby notified as follows:

The above "units and individuals" include the same natural person, legal person, other organizations and the same actual controller.

Third, strengthen work measures

For this kind of application, in addition to strictly handling the submitted patent application according to the provisions of the Patent Law and its detailed rules for implementation, the following measures should be taken according to the circumstances:

The All-China Association of Patent Agents takes industry self-discipline measures against patent agencies and patent agents engaged in and involved in such applications.

Fourth, strengthen collaborative governance

Local intellectual property departments at all levels should firmly establish the concept of high-quality development, actively coordinate with relevant departments to further improve and perfect the evaluation index system related to patent work, improve the scientificity and effectiveness of the evaluation, check and eliminate the growth rate evaluation indicators that are not in line with reality, and avoid taking the number of patent applications as the main basis for the evaluation of departmental work. It is not allowed to set binding assessment and evaluation indicators for the patent application amount, and it is not allowed to apportion the patent application amount indicators to localities, enterprises and agencies by administrative orders or administrative guidance. It is not allowed to compare the number of patent applications (including patent applications through the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT)). Once the above behaviors are discovered, the qualification for applying for national intellectual property operation projects, the title of demonstration city awarded by China National Intellectual Property Administration and other preferential policies will be cancelled as appropriate.

(2) Adjusting the patent subsidy policy. Before the end of June 2021, all levels of patent application funding should be completely cancelled. All localities shall not give financial support to patent application in any form, such as funding, incentives and subsidies. The scope of existing local funding should be limited to authorized invention patents (including invention patents authorized overseas through PCT and other means), and the funding method should be in the form of post-authorization subsidies.

If the above phenomenon occurs for three consecutive quarters, it shall be notified to the local Party committee and government, and the relevant information shall be published on the website of China National Intellectual Property Administration Municipal Government and China Intellectual Property News. If the above phenomenon occurs for one year in a row, all kinds of titles and preferential policies such as demonstration cities awarded by China National Intellectual Property Administration will be cancelled. All kinds of awards involving patents shall not simply take the number of patent applications and authorizations as the main conditions.

(4) Strengthening credit supervision in the field of patent application. Revise the detailed rules for the implementation of the Patent Law, and promote the inclusion of this kind of application as an act of dishonesty in intellectual property credit supervision according to law. Intellectual property departments at all levels should focus on bringing such applications into the scope of supervision when formulating policy documents on intellectual property credit supervision. Strengthen the collaborative governance of serious illegal and untrustworthy agencies. For patent agencies that have been punished for representing such applications, they will be linked and restrained in terms of relevant incentive and reward policies and industry evaluation awards, so as to strengthen the supervision effect.

Local intellectual property departments at all levels should implement the responsibility of territorial supervision to regulate intellectual property transactions, resolutely curb patent application rights and patent transfer activities that are obviously not aimed at technological innovation and implementation, strengthen supervision and guidance on intellectual property (patent) trading operation platforms and institutions supported by government departments at all levels, strengthen guidance on various patent trading service institutions and platforms in their jurisdictions, do a good job in reviewing the background of trading targets and traders, and prevent such applications from making profits and washing white through transactions. China National Intellectual Property Administration will strengthen the monitoring of patent transfer, licensing and other registration data, and deal with abnormal patent operation in a timely manner in conjunction with relevant places.

(6) Strengthen inter-departmental information reporting. For detailed information about such applications, local intellectual property departments at all levels should consult relevant departments, take the initiative to inform the administrative departments of science and technology in a timely manner, support and assist the administrative departments of science and technology to strengthen the administrative management of patent applications, and ensure that such applications are not used to defraud high-tech enterprises and other national preferential policies. For the "three noes" shell companies that have no insured, paid-in capital and R&D funds to apply for patents, it is necessary to timely transfer the relevant information to the local market supervision department for strict supervision.

V. Improve the working mechanism

(1) Work docking mechanism. China National Intellectual Property Administration continuously monitors and identifies this kind of application behavior, and timely informs and forwards relevant information about this kind of application behavior to the local authorities. The local intellectual property department strengthens administrative guidance and requires the units and individuals involved and the agency to voluntarily withdraw the relevant application. Those who voluntarily withdraw may be given a lighter punishment as appropriate.

Tax revenue organized by national tax authorities in the first three quarters of 2019

On the morning of October 30th, State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China held a press conference, mainly introducing the tax authorities’ implementation of tax reduction and fee reduction, organization of tax revenue, deepening the "streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services" reform and optimizing the tax business environment in the first three quarters of this year.

 

The "report card" of tax reduction and fee reduction in the first three quarters was released

 

According to Cai Zili, executive deputy director of the Tax Reduction Office of the State Administration of Taxation and director of the revenue planning and accounting department, recently, the declaration of the "big levy period" ended in the third quarter of this year, and the State Administration of Taxation completed the statistical accounting of tax reduction and fee reduction in the first three quarters in time. In the first three quarters of this year, the country increased taxes and fees by 1,783.4 billion yuan, including 1,510.9 billion yuan in new taxes and 272.5 billion yuan in new social security fees. The new tax cuts mainly include 703.5 billion yuan in the VAT reform (including 118.4 billion yuan in the adjustment of the VAT rate on May 1 last year and 585.1 billion yuan in the deepening of the VAT reform this year), 182.7 billion yuan in the inclusive policy for small and micro enterprises, and 442.6 billion yuan in the two-step reform of personal income tax.

"The implementation of a larger tax reduction and fee reduction policy this year has a more obvious impact on the reduction of tax revenue." Cai Zili introduced that in the first three quarters, the national tax authorities organized tax revenue (excluding export tax rebates) of 11,265.8 billion yuan, an increase of 0.3%, and the growth rate dropped by 12.9 percentage points compared with the same period of last year. In the first three quarters, the tax burden level of various industries decreased to varying degrees year-on-year.For example,The new tax reduction of manufacturing industry was 473.8 billion yuan, accounting for 31.36% of the total tax reduction, and the industry tax burden decreased by 1.08 percentage points year-on-year; The new tax reduction in the wholesale and retail industry was 325.8 billion yuan, accounting for 21.56% of the total tax reduction, and the industry tax burden decreased by 3.27 percentage points year-on-year.Another example is,The construction industry, transportation, warehousing and postal services all increased tax reduction by 117.9 billion yuan, accounting for 7.8% of the total tax reduction. The tax burden of these two industries decreased by 0.63 and 0.35 percentage points respectively.

 

The effect of reducing taxes and fees to promote development and activation is further revealed.

 

Cai Zili introduced that since the implementation of the tax reduction and fee reduction policy, the tax authorities have made a preliminary analysis of the implementation effect of the policy while paying close attention to the implementation of the policy. The results show that the role of tax reduction and fee reduction in stabilizing economic development and stimulating the vitality of innovation and entrepreneurship has become increasingly apparent.

  -Tax cuts and fee reductions have taken root, stabilizing economic development expectations.Under the complicated and changeable economic situation at home and abroad, the tax reduction and fee reduction policy has fully played a countercyclical adjustment role, benefiting taxpayers and payers more directly and effectively, and stabilizing the economic development expectation. According to the survey data of the tax department, 92.2% of taxpayers believe that tax reduction and fee reduction have had a positive impact on the production and operation activities of enterprises and boosted the confidence of market participants.

-The rapid increase in R&D investment has stimulated the vitality of scientific and technological innovation.In recent years, China has repeatedly optimized and adjusted policies to encourage innovation, such as adding and deducting R&D expenses, so that enterprises have more funds for R&D innovation. According to the survey data of tax authorities, in the first three quarters, 45% of manufacturing taxpayers used the tax reduction and fee reduction bonus to increase investment in research and development. The research and development expenses of 100,000 key tax source enterprises monitored by the tax authorities in the first three quarters increased by 19.3% year-on-year, an increase of 3.4 percentage points over the whole year of 2018.

-The private economy enjoys a deep dividend and strengthens the foundation for good development.According to the data of the State Administration of Taxation, in the first three quarters, taxpayers in the private economy, including private enterprises and individual economies, increased their tax cuts by 964.4 billion yuan, accounting for 64% of the total tax cuts, benefiting the most. Most of the beneficiaries of the inclusive tax reduction policy for small and micro enterprises are the private economy. In the first three quarters, the private economy enjoyed the new tax reduction of 161.9 billion yuan, accounting for 88.61%. In the first three quarters, the sales revenue of the national private economy increased by 9.7% year-on-year, faster than the overall increase of 1.6 percentage points, and the investment in machinery and equipment increased by 8.9% year-on-year, faster than the overall increase of 2.8 percentage points.

-the improvement of residents’ spending power has stimulated the growth of social consumption.In the first three quarters, the personal income tax reform increased tax reduction by 442.6 billion yuan, with a cumulative per capita tax reduction of 1,764 yuan. The reduction of personal income tax has directly increased residents’ income and improved their spending power. According to the data of the State Administration of Taxation, in the first three quarters, the sales revenue of life service industry, which reflects residents’ consumption vitality, increased by 16.2%, while the sales revenue of Internet wholesale and retail increased by 16.8% year-on-year, which was 4.7 and 5.3 percentage points higher than the sales growth rate of tertiary industry respectively.

-the vitality of market players has stimulated the stability of social employment.In the first three quarters, there were 7.767 million new market players (including individual industrial and commercial households) who handled tax-related matters, with an average monthly increase of 863,000. The policy of tax reduction and fee reduction has enhanced the willingness to start a business, increased the activity of market players and created more jobs.

In addition, export enterprises have benefited significantly and their operating pressure has been effectively alleviated. In the first three quarters, export enterprises enjoyed a total tax reduction of 274.2 billion yuan, and at the same time, thanks to the increase of export tax rebate rate twice, export enterprises increased export tax rebate (exemption) by 40.9 billion yuan.

 

Simplify the procedures for tax administrative licensing and other matters.

 

Fu Shulin, director of the Tax Publicity Center and deputy director of the General Office of the State Administration of Taxation, said that in order to implement the State Council’s decision on deepening the "streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services" reform and optimizing the business environment, the State Administration of Taxation recently issued the "Announcement on Further Simplifying the Procedures for Tax Administrative Licensing Matters", which will further simplify the procedures, reduce the tax burden and improve service efficiency for only six tax administrative licensing matters, starting from December 1 this year.

-reduce the processing time.For some tax administrative licensing matters, the processing time will be further reduced on the basis of the legal time limit of 20 working days. For example, the time limit for the completion of three matters, such as the taxpayer’s deferred declaration and approval, and the approval of the maximum invoicing limit for special VAT invoices, has been reduced to less than 10 working days; The time limit for the approval of the taxpayer’s change of tax quota is reduced to less than 15 working days.

-degenerate application documents.Taxpayers are no longer required to fill in the approval form or approval form for the approval of deferred tax payment and declaration, but the relevant contents are incorporated into the Application Form for Tax Administrative License to realize "one form integration".

-reduce the materials submitted.For the approval of taxpayers’ deferred tax payment, five application materials, such as deferred tax payment report and balance sheet, were cancelled; For the approval of taxpayers’ deferred declaration, the applicant is no longer required to submit a separate statement of the situation, just fill in the relevant information briefly in the application form.

-simplify the delivery process.If the tax administrative license document is directly delivered to the applicant through the tax service window, and the applicant has no objection, it is only necessary for the applicant to sign or stamp at the end of the document and indicate the date of receipt, and it is not necessary to fill out the "Tax Document Delivery Receipt" separately.

At the same time, in order to promote opening wider to the outside world, help non-resident taxpayer to better enjoy the tax treaty treatment and reduce the tax burden, the State Administration of Taxation recently revised and issued the Administrative Measures for non-resident taxpayer to Enjoy the Treaty Treatment, which will be implemented as of January 1, 2020. Compared with the original method, the new method is more convenient to enjoy treatment, with more concise statements and clearer responsibilities. For example, the Measures greatly simplified the forms to be filled in by non-resident taxpayer, not only reducing the number from 10 to 1, but also further simplifying the contents, just filling in the basic information such as the taxpayer’s name and contact information and making a statement. For another example, the "Measures" stipulate that non-resident taxpayer enjoys the agreed treatment and implements the method of "self-judgment, declaration and enjoyment, and relevant materials are kept for future reference", that is, taxpayers who think that they meet the conditions for enjoying the agreed treatment, whether filing their own declarations or withholding declarations, do not need to submit other materials except reporting relevant statements, and will be kept for future reference.

 

Actively build a tax credit system that praises honesty and punishes dishonesty

 

"The implementation of the blacklist of tax violations and the joint disciplinary system is an important measure for the tax authorities to optimize law enforcement methods and improve the business environment." Fu Shulin said. In recent years, the tax authorities have actively and continuously promoted the "blacklist" of tax violations and the joint disciplinary system, and made great efforts to build a tax credit system that praises honesty and punishes dishonesty, and achieved remarkable results.

-cracking down on tax fraud and crimes.Since the State Administration of Taxation, the Ministry of Public Security, the General Administration of Customs and the People’s Bank of China launched a two-year special campaign to crack down on tax fraud in August 2018, as of September 2019, 176,300 enterprises suspected of tax fraud were investigated and dealt with according to law; Through strict investigation of "fake enterprises", it was found that 8.35 million VAT invoices were falsely issued, involving a tax amount of 155.8 billion yuan; By cracking down on "fake exports", the tax loss of 16.2 billion yuan was recovered, which initially curbed the rampant trend of false tax fraud and effectively guaranteed the implementation of the tax reduction and fee reduction policy.

-implementing the "blacklist" system for tax violations.Since the publication of "blacklist" cases in October 2014, as of September this year, the national tax authorities have published a total of 30,645 cases, of which the number of cases published in the first three quarters of this year alone reached 14,003. The tax authorities have included all the parties involved in the "blacklist" cases of tax violations in the D-level scope of tax credit, and taken stricter measures such as invoice management and export tax rebate audit according to law.

-promoting joint disciplinary work.From its launch in 2015 to September 2019, the tax authorities have pushed the "blacklist" information of tax violations to relevant departments for 393,000 times, including 192,700 times in the first three quarters of this year. A total of 24,600 "blacklisted" parties were restricted by the market supervision department to hold relevant positions in enterprises; 25,000 "blacklisted" parties were restricted from financing and credit granting by financial institutions; More than 30,000 "blacklisted" parties were restricted from obtaining government-supplied land and government financial support, which effectively shocked the parties to major tax violations and dishonesty cases.

-implementing the credit repair system.Since the establishment of the tax credit repair mechanism in April 2016, as of September this year, a total of 1,650 "blacklist" parties involved in tax evasion have withdrawn from the "blacklist" bulletin board after voluntarily paying taxes, late fees and fines, which reflects the guiding role of credit supervision in paying taxes in good faith.

 

Promote the implementation of convenience service measures in theme education

 

Fu Shulin introduced that in the first batch of education on the theme of "Do not forget your initiative mind, Keep in mind the mission" carried out in June-August this year, the State Administration of Taxation focused on the problems strongly reflected by taxpayers and payers, and launched 20 measures to facilitate tax payment in two batches, canceled 25 tax certification items, revised and promulgated the "Measures for the Administration of Tax Service Complaints", etc., and optimized the service experience from the aspects of reporting payment, convenient tax payment, invoice use and inter-departmental cooperation, and effectively improved the service.

Judging from the Global Business Environment Report 2020 recently released by the World Bank,The global ranking of China’s business environment has risen from 46th last year to 31st, and it has been ranked among the top ten economies with the greatest improvement in the global business environment for two consecutive years. Among them, the ranking of tax indicators has increased by 9 places this year on the basis of the previous two years, achieving "three consecutive rises". The World Bank believes that on the one hand, the main reason for the improvement in the ranking of tax indicators is that China has introduced a larger-scale tax reduction and fee reduction policy; On the other hand, China tax authorities have made remarkable achievements in implementing tax reduction and fee reduction, and continuously promoting the reform of tax payment facilitation.

Judging from the results of the special survey on taxpayer satisfaction in 2019 commissioned by the State Administration of Taxation,The comprehensive score of national taxpayer satisfaction was 84.42 points, which was 1.44 points higher than that of the same caliber in 2018, and it continued to maintain a steady and progressive trend. Over 90% of corporate taxpayers’ satisfaction was significantly improved, and the scores of 12366 tax service hotline, tax service office service, running at most once, applying for VAT invoices and tax return forms were comprehensively improved, which showed that local tax authorities were focusing on facilitating tax payment, finding gaps, grasping implementation and promoting rectification in theme education.

"At present, the second batch of theme education is being carried out in depth. Compared with the first batch of theme education, the tax department has more units and a large number, and it has more direct and closer contact with taxpayers and payers." Fu Shulin said that under the guidance of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era and in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations on Optimizing the Business Environment recently promulgated by the State Council, the tax authorities will further implement various new measures for tax payment for the convenience of the people, strive to achieve a lighter tax burden, shorter tax time, wider tax channels and better tax methods, and continue to lay a good combination of policies to benefit the people and serve the convenience of the people, further enhancing taxpayers.

Director of the National Bureau of Statistics answered a reporter’s question on the national economic operation in 2023.

(January 17, 2024)

 

 

  On January 17th, the State Council Press Office held a press conference. Kang Yi, director of the National Bureau of Statistics, and Wang Guanhua, spokesman of the National Bureau of Statistics, introduced the national economic operation in 2023 and answered questions from reporters. The transcript of the press conference is as follows:

 

  Shou Xiaoli, deputy director and spokesperson of the State Council Information Office.

 

  Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the press conference of the State Council Information Office. Today, we released economic data routinely. We invited Mr. Kang Yi, director of the National Bureau of Statistics, and Ms. Wang Guanhua, spokesperson of the National Bureau of Statistics, to introduce the national economy in 2023 and answer your concerns.

 

  Next, let’s first invite Mr. Kang Yi to make an introduction.

 

  Kang Yi, Director of National Bureau of Statistics.

 

  Thank you, host. Good morning, media friends. First of all, let me introduce the national economy in 2023.

 

  In 2023, the national economy rebounded and high-quality development was solidly promoted. In 2023, in the face of the complicated and severe international environment and arduous and arduous tasks of domestic reform, development and stability, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, all localities and departments conscientiously implemented the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, adhered to the general tone of striving for progress while maintaining stability, comprehensively implemented the new development concept, accelerated the construction of a new development pattern, comprehensively deepened reform and opening up, and intensified macro-control. Efforts were made to expand domestic demand, optimize the structure, boost confidence and prevent risks. China’s economy rebounded, supply demand improved steadily, transformation and upgrading were actively promoted, employment prices were generally stable, people’s livelihood security was strong and effective, and high-quality development was solidly promoted. The main expected goals were successfully achieved. (For details of the national economy in 2023, please refer to the link https.://www.stats.gov.cn/sj/zxfb/202401/t20240117_1946624.html)

 

  Next, I will give you a briefing on the improvement of the unemployment rate survey by age groups in cities and towns.

 

  The National Bureau of Statistics attaches great importance to the improvement of the labor force survey system, organizes relevant departments and experts to conduct in-depth discussions, study international standards and experiences and practices of various countries, and conducts on-the-spot investigations to carefully sort out the statistical methods and caliber of studying the unemployment rate. In order to reflect the employment and unemployment situation of youth more accurately and completely, from the point of view of fully considering the national conditions, the unemployment rate statistics of age groups have been adjusted in two aspects. One is to publish the unemployment rate of the labor force aged 16-24, which does not include students at school; The second is to increase the unemployment rate of the 25-29-year-old labor force excluding students at school. There are two main considerations:

 

  On the one hand, it is to monitor youth employment and unemployment more accurately. In 2023, on average, among the urban population aged 16-24 in China, students accounted for more than 60%, nearly 62 million; Non-school students account for more than 30%, about 34 million people. According to China’s national conditions, the main task of school students is to study, not to work part-time. If school students are included in the age group, young people who are looking for part-time jobs at school and those who are looking for jobs after graduation will be mixed together, which cannot accurately reflect the employment and unemployment situation of young people who really need to work in society. Calculating the unemployment rate of different age groups excluding students in school is conducive to more accurately reflecting the employment and unemployment situation of young people entering the society, giving them more accurate employment services and formulating more effective and targeted employment policies.

 

  On the other hand, it is to reflect the whole picture of employment and unemployment of young people in the process of graduation from school to stable work. The number of years of education of young people in China has been increasing. At present, the gross enrollment rate of higher education in China is nearly 60%. Most young people just graduated at the age of 24 and are still in the period of choosing jobs. Some of them are unemployed or unstable. By the age of 29, most of them have passed the period of choosing jobs, and the employment situation tends to be stable. All walks of life are very concerned about the employment situation of young people when they just leave school, and they are also very concerned about their employment situation for a period of time after graduation. Therefore, our bureau increased the calculation and released the unemployment rate of the 25-29-year-old labor force.

 

  Regarding the release method, in the future, our bureau will release the unemployment rate of the labor force aged 16-24, 25-29 and 30-59 excluding students in the data release database of the National Bureau of Statistics on a monthly basis. You can query the data in the data release database.

 

  I’ll stop here and answer your questions.

 

  Beijing Youth Daily reporter

 

  I want to ask about the general situation. In 2023, faced with multiple challenges such as weak world economic recovery, frequent domestic natural disasters and arduous tasks of reform, development and stability, what is the overall performance of China’s economic operation? From last year’s point of view, have our main objectives and tasks been better achieved throughout the year? Thank you.

 

 

  Kang Yi

 

  Thank you for your question. In the previous introduction, the annual performance of China’s economy was introduced in detail. On the whole, our main expected goals have been successfully achieved. It can be said that a transcript with good color and sufficient weight was handed over. For the economic performance of the past year, it can be summarized as a rebound, full of color, bright performance, and it is not easy.

 

  First, the recovery is good. From the perspective of economic growth, China’s GDP exceeded 126 trillion yuan in 2023, and the growth rate was 2.2 percentage points faster than that in 2022. Quarterly, it shows a trend of low, high and stable, and the positive trend is further consolidated. According to the comparable price calculation, the economic growth in 2023 will exceed 6 trillion yuan, which is equivalent to the total economic output of a medium-sized country in one year. The per capita GDP increased steadily, reaching 89,358 yuan in 2023, an increase of 5.4% over the previous year. From the perspective of employment, the employment situation has generally improved. The average unemployment rate in urban surveys has dropped by 0.4 percentage points over the previous year, especially for migrant workers. From the perspective of prices, prices generally maintained a moderate increase, with the annual CPI rising by 0.2% and the core CPI rising by 0.7%. From the perspective of international payments, the export of goods increased by 0.6% in the whole year, and the foreign exchange reserves at the end of the year exceeded 3.2 trillion US dollars.

 

  Second, the color is full. Last year, we coordinated the effective improvement of quality and the reasonable growth of quantity. The whole country closely focused on the primary task of high-quality development, and promoted the economy to continuously win advantages in structural adjustment and transformation and upgrading, so that high-quality development was more complete. The innovation-driven development strategy was implemented in depth, and the investment in innovation increased steadily. According to preliminary calculation, in 2023, the investment in research and experimental development of the whole society reached 3,327.82 billion yuan, and the intensity of R&D investment reached 2.64%, up by 0.08 percentage point over the previous year. In this year, some major scientific and technological innovations were reported frequently, especially the high-end, intelligent and green development of manufacturing industry was solidly promoted. With the optimization and upgrading of economic structure, the role of service industry and consumption as the main engines of economic growth has become more prominent. In 2023, the added value of service industry accounted for 54.6% of GDP, an increase of 1.2 percentage points over the previous year; The contribution rate of final consumption expenditure to economic growth reached 82.5%, an increase of 43.1 percentage points over the previous year. The foundation for safe development was further consolidated, and the annual grain output increased by 1.3% over the previous year; The output of raw coal, crude oil and natural gas in industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 2.9%, 2% and 5.8% respectively. We have kept the bottom line of no systemic risks, ensured economic and financial security, and ensured more effective people’s livelihood. The per capita disposable income of the national residents actually increased by 6.1% over the previous year.

 

  Third, the performance is bright. To observe the economic performance of China, we should not only compare it vertically with ourselves, but also compare it horizontally with other countries. In 2023, China’s economic growth rate of 5.2% is not only higher than the estimated global growth rate of about 3%, but also among the best in the world’s major economies. The contribution rate of China’s economy to world economic growth in 2023 is expected to exceed 30%, which is the biggest engine of world economic growth. At the same time, China’s exports have also achieved a small increase, and its share in the global market has remained stable. Another point is that the overall price increase is moderate, which is in sharp contrast with the high global inflation and the difficult balance between anti-inflation and steady growth in some countries.

 

  Fourth, it is not easy. It’s hard to know what’s going on until it’s gone through. In 2023, the world economy is in a downturn, the international pattern is complicated and evolving, geopolitical conflicts are frequent, and the complexity, severity and uncertainty of the external environment are rising. There are many periodic and structural contradictions in China, and natural disasters occur frequently. In this complicated situation, it is even more commendable to achieve such development achievements. These achievements are the result of the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, the scientific guidance of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era of the Supreme Leader, and the unremitting efforts of the people of the whole country. The achievements deserve full recognition and need to be cherished.

 

  Looking forward to 2024, we should also see that the current external environment is still complicated and severe, with insufficient domestic effective demand, overcapacity in some industries, weak social expectations and many hidden risks. To promote China’s economic recovery, we must overcome some difficulties and challenges. We should effectively deal with these difficulties and solve these problems in accordance with the decision-making arrangements of the Central Economic Work Conference, and constantly promote China’s economic stability and prosperity. Thank you.

 

  Global Times reporter

 

  I would like to ask the publisher to introduce the contribution rate and pulling point of the three major demands to economic growth in the fourth quarter of 2023 and the whole year. Are there any new changes? In addition, I would like to know what the development trend of domestic and international double circulation pattern was in the past year. Thank you.

 

 

  Kang Yi

 

  Thank you for your question. You are concerned about two aspects, one is the three major demand situations, and the other is the two-cycle situation. First of all, answer your first question, the contribution and pull of the three major needs. In 2023, final consumption expenditure, total capital formation and net exports of goods and services will drive economic growth by 4.3, 1.5 and -0.6 percentage points respectively, and their contribution rates to economic growth will be 82.5%, 28.9% and -11.4% respectively. In the fourth quarter, final consumption expenditure, total capital formation and net exports of goods and services boosted economic growth by 4.2, 1.2 and -0.2 percentage points respectively, and their contribution rates to economic growth were 80%, 23.1% and -3.1% respectively.

 

  The second question is the progress of domestic and international double circulation. It should be said that new progress has been made in building a new development pattern in 2023, which has three characteristics:

 

  First, the main role of the domestic macro-cycle is increasing. Based on the strategic basis of expanding domestic demand and releasing the market potential of strong domestic demand, the driving role of domestic circulation in economic development is obviously enhanced. In 2023, China’s total retail sales of consumer goods reached 47.1 trillion yuan, the scale of fixed assets investment reached 50.3 trillion yuan, and the contribution rate of domestic demand to economic growth reached 111.4%, an increase of 25.3 percentage points over the previous year. We are making great efforts to build a unified national market, get through the blocking points of the domestic big cycle, and smooth all links of production, distribution, circulation and consumption. The flow of factors tends to be active, and the connection between production and sales is gradually improving. In the fourth quarter, the utilization rate of industrial capacity was 75.9%, up 0.2 percentage points year-on-year; The product sales rate of industrial enterprises above designated size has remained stable at the level of over 97%. The annual commercial freight volume increased by 8.2% year-on-year, and the commercial passenger traffic increased by 66.5%.

 

  Second, the quality and level of international circulation have been further improved. Faced with the adverse effects of shrinking external demand, China has made efforts to promote the stable scale and excellent structure of foreign trade, and its exports have achieved positive growth. The horizontal ratio is better than that of major export-oriented economies, and the share of the international market remains generally stable. In 2023, the export volume of goods increased by 0.6% over the previous year, and the proportion of general trade and private enterprises’ import and export increased. At the same time, China is also actively expanding international economic and trade cooperation and building the "Belt and Road" with high quality. It has become a major trading partner of more than 140 countries and regions, and the scope of international circulation is broader and deeper. In 2023, China’s total import and export volume to countries building the "Belt and Road" increased by 2.8% over the previous year.

 

  Third, domestic and international circulation promote each other. The advantages of our super-large-scale market have emerged, and the expansion of domestic demand has boosted imports. In 2023, the import of agricultural products increased by 5%, consumer goods increased by 1.2% and energy products increased by 27.2%. The advantages of a sound industrial system and stable production capacity have also been brought into play. The promotion of stability and quality by exports has brought about the development of related domestic industries and helped the overall improvement of the economy. In 2023, China’s exports of goods reached a record high. Among them, the export of mechanical and electrical products increased by 2.9% over the previous year. The export value of the "new three products" represented by electric manned vehicles, solar cells and lithium-ion batteries also exceeded the trillion-dollar mark for the first time, with an increase of 29.9%.

 

  While we see the positive progress of domestic and international double circulation, we also see that there are still some blocking points in the domestic big circulation, the world economy continues to be in a downturn, the global industrial chain supply chain is deeply adjusted, and the international circulation is also facing some difficulties and challenges. In the next step, we should make overall plans to expand domestic demand and deepen supply-side structural reform, make overall plans for high-quality development and high-level security, make overall plans to promote deep-level reform and high-level opening-up, open up key blocking points that restrict the economic cycle, and promote the mutual promotion of domestic and international double cycles.

  According to recent data, the CPI in China showed negative growth for the third consecutive month in December. What is the prospect of CPI? Will the government take measures to deal with the low prices?

 

 

  Kang Yi

 

  Thank you for your question. The price issue is highly concerned by all sectors of society. From the overall situation in 2023, China’s prices generally maintained a moderate upward trend, and the annual CPI rose by 0.2%. The reporter mentioned that CPI has been negative for three consecutive months, and we should look at both the overall data and the structural data. The year-on-year decline of CPI in recent months is mainly structural and phased.

 

  First, the decline in CPI is structural. The recent decline in prices is mainly due to the fall in food and energy prices. If the influence of food and energy prices is deducted, the core CPI remains stable, which shows that the price decline is not universal and comprehensive, but local and structural. The decline in food and energy prices is not entirely a change in the relationship between supply and demand in the market. From the perspective of 2022 and 2023, it is mainly affected by some non-economic and unconventional factors. From the perspective of energy prices, the price of fuel now has a large weight in the basket of China’s CPI. In December 2023, the energy price decreased by 0.5% year-on-year, while it increased by 5.2% year-on-year. As we all know, energy prices were mainly affected by the Russian-Ukrainian war. In 2022, energy prices rose sharply, and in 2023, they fell back, with one positive and one negative, and the year-on-year downward pull was relatively large. From the perspective of food prices, it decreased by 3.7% year-on-year in December 2023 and increased by 4.8% in the same period of last year, that is, in December 2022. In December 2022, mainly affected by the epidemic situation, the logistics was not smooth, and the prices of various foods were rising. After the normal operation was resumed, the supply was sufficient, and the food prices naturally fell on the basis of the high base of the previous year.

 

  Second, the decline of CPI is phased. In particular, China’s economic recovery is improving, residents’ income is growing steadily, domestic total demand is expected to expand, and the price recovery of goods and services is based and conditional. The recent Spring Festival holiday is approaching, and the demand for food consumption is also increasing. People are more active in eating out, visiting relatives and friends, traveling and other services, which will boost the seasonal rebound of CPI. From the ring comparison, the CPI rose by 0.1% in December 2023; In the first ten days of January, 2024, according to the monitoring situation, some food prices maintained a steady and slightly rising trend. In addition, in addition to supply and demand, prices are also affected by expectations. Judging from the recent situation, the expected confidence of both enterprises and residents has recovered marginally. In December, the expected index of manufacturing production and business activities reached 55.9%, and the expected index of non-manufacturing business activities reached 60.3%, both of which were in a high boom zone. In the fourth quarter, the prosperity index of enterprises above designated size was 109 points, an increase of 0.4 points over the previous quarter. In December, the consumer confidence index rose by 0.6 points from the previous month.

 

  Third, the low price operation also reflects the problem of insufficient effective demand to some extent. Insufficient effective demand is a phased phenomenon in which our country’s economy is gradually moving towards normal state after three years of epidemic impact. In the short term, insufficient demand will lead to a downward trend in prices. The central government attaches great importance to the problem of insufficient demand. When planning economic work in 2024, the Central Economic Work Conference clearly emphasized that efforts should be made to expand domestic demand and promote consumption to shift from post-epidemic recovery to sustained expansion, and clearly pointed out a series of specific work directions. With the promulgation and implementation of these policies at the Central Economic Work Conference, the problem of insufficient effective demand will be gradually alleviated, and consumer prices are expected to stabilize and rebound. We expect that prices will rise moderately in 2024. Thank you.

  High-quality development is the primary task of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. What is the progress of high-quality economic development in China at present? What measures will be taken in the future to continuously promote high-quality economic development? Thank you.

 

 

  Kang Yi

 

  Thank you for your question. High-quality development is the last word in the new era and the primary task of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. In 2023, all regions and departments have made great efforts to stabilize economic operation, and they have not slackened their efforts in promoting high-quality development. China’s economy has achieved effective improvement in quality and reasonable growth in quantity, and the road to high-quality development has become more firm and powerful. To sum up, it can be summarized by five "further".

 

  First, important progress has been made in the construction of a modern industrial system, and the transformation of development kinetic energy has been further accelerated. Modern industrial system is an important foundation for high-quality development. All localities and departments insist on scientific and technological innovation to lead the construction of modern industrial system, and solidly promote the high-end, intelligent and green transformation of manufacturing industry. The new kinetic energy and advantages of China’s economic development have been growing, and new progress has been made in the construction of modern industrial system.

 

  Second, the reform and opening up have been deepened and the vitality of development has been further released. In 2023, China made every effort to promote the construction of a unified national market, optimize the development environment of the private economy, and continue to create a market-oriented, rule-of-law and international first-class business environment, effectively enhancing the dynamic vitality of economic development. By the end of September 2023, there were 181 million registered business entities in China, including 122 million individual industrial and commercial households. Accelerate high-level opening-up, actively carry out international economic and trade exchanges and cooperation, build the Belt and Road with high quality, and successfully host China International Import Expo(CIIE), Service Trade Fair and Canton Fair. China’s import and export volume to countries that jointly built the Belt and Road increased by 2.8%. China International Import Expo(CIIE)’s annual intentional turnover increased by 6.7% compared with the previous session.

 

  Third, the green and low-carbon transformation has continued to deepen and the development mode has further changed. China insists on promoting economic development in the process of green and low-carbon transformation, and the green production mode and lifestyle have been accelerated. Actively build a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system and continuously optimize the energy consumption structure. According to preliminary accounting, the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption in total energy consumption in 2023 will increase by 0.2 percentage points over the previous year. By the end of 2023, the installed capacity of renewable energy in China will account for more than half of the total installed capacity, historically exceeding that of thermal power. The output of green and low-carbon products is also growing rapidly. In 2023, new energy vehicles increased by 30.3% over the previous year, and the production and sales volume were the first in the world; The export volume of electric manned vehicles increased by 67.1%.

 

  Fourth, people’s livelihood security is strong and effective, and people’s lives are further improved. Improving people’s livelihood and well-being is the fundamental purpose of development. In 2023, the income of urban and rural residents grew steadily, the level of public services and social security continued to improve, and the short-board field of people’s livelihood was gradually strengthened, further polishing the background of people’s livelihood with high-quality development. The per capita disposable income of residents increased by 6.1%, among which, the transfer income from government social relief and subsidies, policy life subsidies and cash policy subsidies for benefiting farmers increased by 10.3%. The investment in people’s livelihood has been increasing. The investment in the production and supply of electricity, heat, gas and water has increased by 23%, and the investment in agriculture has increased by 9.3%, all of which are obviously faster than the total investment.

 

  Fifth, the ability to ensure food and energy security has been improved, and the foundation for safe development has been further consolidated. In 2023, China ensured security in its development and achieved good development on the basis of security.

 

  Of course, at the same time, we must also see that China is still in the key period of transforming the development mode, optimizing the economic structure and transforming the growth momentum. To further promote high-quality development, we still need to overcome many difficulties and challenges. It is necessary to thoroughly implement the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference, take high-quality development as the last word in the new era, make overall plans for high-quality development and high-level security, continuously improve the economic quality and reasonably increase the quantity, and turn the grand blueprint of Chinese modernization into a beautiful reality step by step. Thank you.

 

  Reuters reporter

 

  I am also concerned about the structural problems. I would like to ask, how can we realize the transformation of old and new kinetic energy in China’s economic development? It is also seen in the report that new energy vehicles and solar cells are growing rapidly, but in the process of vigorously developing advanced manufacturing industries, how can we prevent possible overcapacity problems? In addition, in the case of relatively insufficient domestic demand, will the rapid expansion of these industries bring downward pressure on prices and possible international trade frictions? Thank you.

 

 

  Wang Guanhua

 

  Thank you for your question. I want to answer your question mainly from two aspects:

 

  First of all, the first point is about the conversion of old and new kinetic energy. High-quality development is the development of implementing the new development concept, and "innovation" ranks first among the five development concepts. Adhering to the drive of innovation and promoting the transformation of development kinetic energy has always been an important task for high-quality development. Just now, Director Kang Yi gave a detailed introduction to the achievements of China’s high-quality development last year, especially the innovation-driven development. Here I would like to add a few more data. In 2023, the added value of China’s equipment manufacturing industry above designated size increased by 6.8% over the previous year, which played a key role in promoting the stable recovery of industry; In 2023, the report released by the World Intellectual Property Organization showed that China ranked 12th in the global innovation index, and the number of the top 100 scientific and technological innovation clusters in the world jumped to the first place in the world for the first time. It can be said that new kinetic energy has become an important engine to lead high-quality development.

 

  Secondly, last year, China’s economy rebounded, especially the market demand and domestic demand recovered well. Everyone should have personal feelings about this, especially with the increasing demand-driven role, China’s supply and demand convergence and economic cycle are also improving. Give you a few data for reference. In the fourth quarter, the product sales rate of industrial enterprises above designated size in China remained above 97%, which rose to 98.4% in December; Judging from the capacity utilization rate that reflects the capacity utilization situation, in the four quarters of 2023, the industrial capacity utilization rate was 74.3%, 74.5%, 75.6% and 75.9% respectively, showing a trend of quarterly recovery. This reflects that with the improvement of market demand, China’s capacity utilization is gradually recovering. At the beginning of this year, we also noticed that ice and snow tourism and ice and snow sports can be said to be "out of the circle", which not only conforms to the general trend of upgrading the consumption structure of residents, but also shows the potential of domestic demand in China. We are full of expectations and confidence in the recovery of the consumer market this year.

 

  Generally speaking, China is still in a critical period of economic recovery and transformation and upgrading. In the next step, in accordance with the decision-making arrangements of the Central Economic Work Conference, we should persist in striving for progress through stability, promoting stability through progress, establishing first and then breaking, continuously consolidate and strengthen the economic recovery to a good trend, and promote the effective improvement of quality and reasonable growth of quantity of the economy. Thank you.

 

  Singapore Straits Times reporter

 

  What I want to ask is, last year we saw the impact of real estate on the whole macro-economy. Can it remain stable this year? Thank you.

 

 

  Kang Yi

 

  Thank you for your question. Real estate has always attracted much attention. At the press conference last year, some reporters also mentioned this issue. What is the trend and what is the next step? Everyone is very concerned. According to our monitoring, after more than 20 years of development, the real estate market is in the process of adjustment and transformation. Under such a big background, all regions and departments are adapting to the new situation that the relationship between supply and demand in the real estate market has undergone major changes and adjusting and optimizing real estate policies in a timely manner. Judging from the current situation, there have been some positive changes in the real estate market, mainly in two aspects:

 

  First, the decline in real estate investment, sales and other indicators narrowed. In 2023, the investment in real estate development decreased by 9.6% compared with the previous year, and the decline rate narrowed by 0.4 percentage points compared with the previous year. The funds in place of real estate development enterprises decreased by 13.6%, which was 12.3 percentage points narrower than the previous year. The decline in commercial housing sales has narrowed significantly. In 2023, the sales area of commercial housing in China decreased by 8.5% compared with the previous year, and the sales volume decreased by 6.5%, both of which were declining, but the declines were significantly narrowed by 15.8 and 20.2 percentage points respectively. Since August, the online signing and filing volume of newly-built commercial housing has rebounded as a whole, rising by 20.2 percentage points in December compared with August. From the monitoring of 70 large and medium-sized cities, the transaction volume of new and second-hand houses is rising moderately. Second, the completed area of real estate increased rapidly. The work of "guaranteeing the delivery of the building" is progressing steadily, and the effect continues to appear. In 2023, the completed housing area of real estate development enterprises increased by 17% over the previous year.

 

  What do you think of the future trend of the real estate market? The long-term healthy development of China’s real estate market has a good foundation for several reasons:

 

  First, there is still a lot of room to improve the quantity and quality of urbanization. Just now, it was reported that the urbanization rate in 2023 is 66.16%, which is still room for improvement compared with the level of more than 80% in developed economies. The urbanization of China is still in the process of sustainable development. In the past five years, the urbanization rate has increased by 0.93 percentage points annually. Every year, more than 10 million rural residents enter cities and towns, and the scale of new citizens is relatively large, which will also bring a large number of new housing needs. Although the per capita housing area in our country is not small, the functions and structures of many houses are not reasonable, and many people need improved housing urgently, which will also form an important driving force of the real estate market, including the 70 large and medium-sized cities currently monitored. The demand for improved housing is very obvious, which is manifested in the fact that the transaction volume of second-hand houses in 70 large and medium-sized cities has exceeded the transaction volume of new houses.

 

  Second, there is great potential for building a new model of real estate development. The new model of real estate development is being actively constructed, which is the fundamental solution to solve the real estate development problems and promote the healthy development of real estate. Among them, the construction of affordable housing, the construction of public infrastructure for both ordinary and emergency use, and the reconstruction of villages in cities are all advancing rapidly. With the vigorous and orderly progress of these projects, it will help solve the urgent problems of people in housing and housing, and at the same time, it will also drive real estate-related investment and consumption and promote the healthy development of the real estate market. Thank you.

 

  China Daily reporter

 

  Recently, many international organizations and commercial organizations have raised their expectations for China’s economic growth, believing that China is still the biggest engine of global economic growth. What do you think of this? What is the economic trend of China in 2024? Thank you.

 

 

  Kang Yi

 

  Thank you for your question. How to look at the economic trend of China in 2024 is also a matter of great concern to everyone. 2024 is the 75th anniversary of the founding of People’s Republic of China (PRC), and it is a crucial year for us to implement the 14th Five-Year Plan. To predict the economic trend of this year, we should first see that we will face some challenges and difficulties, but more are favorable conditions and advantages. Taken together, the opportunities we face are greater than the challenges, and the favorable conditions are stronger than the unfavorable factors. The basic trend of China’s long-term economic improvement has not changed, and the factors supporting the high-quality development of China’s economy are accumulating and increasing. Therefore, we predict that China’s economy will continue to pick up in 2024. Specifically, there are five advantages.

 

  First, the economic growth is "good". In the four quarters of 2023, the gross domestic product (GDP) is growing positively year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter, and the economic scale is also expanding quarter by quarter, which is also a good momentum of recovery. In addition to the statistical accounting of economic aggregates, the National Bureau of Statistics has also done a job of monitoring and comparing some physical quantity indicators. Judging from the physical quantity indicators, the absolute quantities of most physical quantity indicators, such as electricity consumption, output of major industrial products, investment, import and export, have greatly exceeded the level in 2019. Some physical indicators are lower than the pre-epidemic level in 2019, mainly related to the problems mentioned by reporters just now, and are the output indicators of products related to real estate. This also reflects that our economic operation is improving as a whole. International organizations have raised their forecasts for China’s economic growth by 0.4 percentage points, the International Monetary Fund by 0.1 percentage points and the OECD by 0.1 percentage points, which shows that the international community is optimistic about China’s economic development prospects in 2024.

 

  Second, economic development is "resilient". Our country has a solid industrial base, and is the only country with all industrial categories in the United Nations industrial classification. Its supporting capacity and integration advantages are outstanding. The added value of our manufacturing industry accounts for nearly one-third of the world’s total, and our goods exports account for one-seventh of the world’s total. At the same time, China’s transportation, communication and other infrastructure networks are improving day by day, short-board areas such as education and medical care are constantly strengthening, and the supply quality of talents, funds and other factors is improving significantly. Food and energy security, industrial chain supply chain and other key areas of support capacity building have also achieved practical results, which have enhanced the resilience and room for manoeuvre of our country’s economic development, and are also the basis for the economy to be stable and far-reaching

 

  Third, high-quality development is "full of vitality". New industries are growing rapidly, new formats are improving continuously, new models are being cultivated rapidly, the economic structure is being continuously optimized, and the potential of economic development is expected to be further stimulated. In 2023, the added value of service industry accounted for 54.6% of GDP, and contributed more than 60% to economic growth. The investment in technological transformation of manufacturing industry increased by 3.8%, and the investment in high-tech industries increased by 10.3%, which was faster than the growth rate of all fixed assets investment. More importantly, China continues to promote the formation of a new situation of innovation-driven development, and China’s economy is constantly developing and growing while accelerating the cultivation of new quality productivity.

 

  Fourth, the reform and opening up has "many dividends". China adheres to and improves the basic socialist economic system, adheres to the "two unswerving", speeds up the construction of a unified national market, promotes the construction of a high-standard market system, optimizes the business environment, and creates a fairer competitive environment for all kinds of enterprises, which will continuously stimulate the enthusiasm and creativity of business entities. Including foreign-invested enterprises, continue to be optimistic about China. From January to November 2023, the number of newly established foreign-funded enterprises increased by 36.2% year-on-year, and China’s open dividend continued to be released.

 

  Fifth, the macro policy is "wide in space". The policy effects of issuing additional government bonds, reducing taxes and fees, and lowering the RRR and interest rates introduced in 2023 will continue to be released this year. This year, some new measures will be taken to optimize the reserves, and these new incremental measures and stock policies will be superimposed to protect the stable operation of the economy. At present, China’s government debt level and inflation rate are low, the policy toolbox is constantly enriched, and there is a lot of room for manoeuvre in fiscal, monetary and other policies. There are conditions and space for strengthening the implementation of macro policies.

 

  Although there will be some difficulties and challenges in promoting the sustained economic recovery in 2024, the Central Economic Work Conference held some time ago made a careful analysis of the difficulties and challenges and put forward specific countermeasures. It is necessary to fully implement the arrangements of the Central Economic Work Conference and constantly turn development advantages into development potential. This year, China’s economy will certainly be able to face difficulties and forge ahead, and achieve effective improvement in quality and reasonable growth in quantity. Thank you.

  In 2023, the total retail sales of social consumer goods showed a trend of gradual recovery, but at present, China still faces the problem of insufficient demand. Excuse me, how do you view the performance of the consumer market in 2023? What is the prediction for 2024? Can the recovery of consumption continue? Thank you.

 

 

  Kang Yi

 

  Thank you for your question. The first question is the performance of the consumer market in 2023, and the second question is the prediction of the consumer market in 2024.

 

  Let me introduce the performance of the consumer market in 2023. Generally speaking, the consumer market will recover in 2023. In the three years since the epidemic, the consumer market has been hit hard, and many contact and aggregate consumption have been restrained. With the smooth transition of epidemic prevention and control, the economy and society have fully resumed normal operation, and consumption has shown a good recovery trend with frequent hot spots. Consumption has become an important force driving economic recovery in 2023. There are several characteristics: First, the consumption scale has reached a new high. In 2023, the total retail sales of social consumer goods exceeded 47 trillion yuan, reaching a record high. Second, consumption has become the main driving force of economic growth again. In 2023, the final consumption expenditure will drive economic growth by 4.3 percentage points, up by 3.1 percentage points over the previous year; The contribution rate to economic growth was 82.5%, an increase of 43.1 percentage points, and the basic role of consumption was more significant. Third, service consumption recovered quickly. The rapid recovery of service consumption is also a highlight of consumption recovery in 2023. The retail sales of services increased by 20% over the previous year, which was 14.2 percentage points faster than the retail sales of goods. The per capita service consumption expenditure of residents increased by 14.4%, accounting for 45.2% of the per capita consumption expenditure of residents, up by 2 percentage points over the previous year. Fourth, the structural upgrading of household consumption continues. Especially the improvement of people’s living standards and the steady growth of income, our country is currently in a period of rapid upgrading of residents’ consumption structure.

 

  We judge that there are many favorable conditions to support the sustained recovery of consumption in the next stage, and consumption will still maintain a good growth. Supporting factors: First, the consumption potential is still huge. With a population of more than 1.4 billion, the advantages of super-large-scale market are still obvious, coupled with the integrated development of urban and rural areas, the advancement of urbanization and the continuous upgrading of consumption structure, which provide a broad space for consumption growth. In particular, the consumption potential of medical care and health is expected to be further released. Second, the consumption base has been continuously consolidated. Income is the premise and foundation of consumption. With the sustained economic recovery and the overall improvement of employment situation, residents’ income is expected to maintain steady growth, which will strongly support the improvement of residents’ consumption power. Third, consumption highlights are constantly emerging. Digital consumption, green consumption, healthy consumption, cultural tourism consumption, etc. are all developing rapidly, and some consumption hotspots such as smart home, entertainment tourism, sports events, and domestic products are also heating up, which constantly adds momentum to the upgrading and expansion of the consumer market. The fourth is to promote the continuous development of consumption policies. All localities and departments insist on giving priority to restoring and expanding consumption, and have successively issued a series of policies to promote consumption, focusing on stabilizing and expanding traditional consumption, cultivating and expanding new consumption, and continuously optimizing the consumption environment, which will continue to play a positive role in stabilizing the consumer market and promoting consumption recovery. Therefore, we are optimistic about the consumption trend in 2024. Thank you.

 

  21st century business herald reporter

 

  I want to pay attention to the fifth national economic census. The fifth national economic census was officially launched on January 1 this year. What is the current progress? What are the innovations of this census compared with the previous four? How to ensure the quality of census data? Thank you.

 

 

  Kang Yi

 

  Thank you for your question. The fifth national economic census is an important survey of national conditions and national strength in the new era and new journey, which carries the important task of finding out the economic background of our country and reflecting the progress of high-quality development. At present, the unit inventory work has been successfully completed, and it has entered the stage of census registration since January 1, 2024. Now the census registration work is being carried out in an orderly manner. Especially since the beginning of the new year, on January 3rd, Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang made a survey to guide the on-site registration of the census, visited the grassroots enumerators and staff, and put forward clear requirements for doing a good job in census registration. At present, the census work is progressing in an orderly manner. January-April this year is the official registration stage of the census, which is also the most important stage of the census work and the most important stage for obtaining high-quality census data.

 

  The innovation of the fifth national economic census this year is mainly to focus on the development of high-quality services, enrich the survey content and innovate the survey methods. The fifth national economic census will comprehensively investigate the development scale, layout and benefits of China’s secondary and tertiary industries. On this basis, we should expand the field of statistical investigation, enrich the content of statistical investigation, improve the statistical investigation system and promote the construction of a high-quality statistical monitoring system. There are three main aspects of innovation:

 

  First, the input-output survey was carried out as a whole for the first time. Originally, the input-output survey and the economic census were conducted separately, and the fifth national economic census integrated these two separate surveys, which helped to promote the better connection between economic aggregate data and structural data.

 

  The second is to further improve the "three new" economic statistics. Add the content of digital economy survey, better reflect the digitalization process of China’s economic development, systematically promote the platform economy survey, and lay the foundation for finding out the development of brand-new industries, new formats and new development models.

 

  Third, there is innovation in the means and methods of investigation. Continue to deepen the application of departmental administrative records, add self-reporting methods to collect census data, develop mobile applet to collect data for the first time, and establish an input-output statistical electronic ledger for the first time to improve the efficiency of census work.

 

  The quality of census data is the most fundamental criterion to measure the success or failure of census. In the census work, we attach great importance to the quality of census data and take a series of measures to ensure the quality of census data.

 

  The first is to standardize data collection. In this economic census, census takers collect data from households, census subjects fill in their own reports and departments submit data, so as to strictly control human interference in data collection and ensure the quality of census source data.

 

  The second is to carry out data audit and inspection in various ways. We carried out the census data with the report and review, comprehensively used big data means and various analysis methods to carry out audit and verification, and organized on-site verification and inspection in time. After the census registration, the general office will also organize a spot check on the quality afterwards to comprehensively test the quality of the census registration data.

 

  The third is to resolutely investigate and deal with census fraud. Conduct a census in accordance with the law, resolutely resist all kinds of interference with census data, strengthen statistical law enforcement inspection, incorporate the fifth national economic census into statistical inspectors, and "strike out" violations of laws and regulations in the census, and seriously pursue accountability according to the law and regulations.

 

  At present, there are about 2.1 million census "two members" (census investigators and census counselors) visiting the streets, going deep into enterprises and merchants to collect data, and the census data are being reported in an orderly manner.

 

  Here, I would also like to thank all the respondents for their support and the hard work of the census workers. I also hope that the media friends will continue to support the census, publicize the census and supervise the census. Let us work together to hand over a satisfactory answer sheet for the fifth national economic census with high quality. Thank you.

  Recently, some media reported that there was a difference of 294.6 billion kWh between electricity consumption and power generation in the first 11 months of 2023. Why is there such a data difference? Thank you.

 

 

  Kang Yi

 

  Thank you for your question. We are concerned that some media discuss the difference between electricity consumption and electricity generation. Electricity generation and electricity consumption are two important indicators reflecting power operation. Just now, this reporter friend mentioned the difference between the data of these two statistical indicators from January to November, mainly because the caliber of the two indicators is different. One of these two indicators is the electricity consumption of the whole society, and the other is the power generation of industrial enterprises above designated size. In addition to industrial enterprises above designated size, with the rapid development of solar power generation and wind power generation, some industrial enterprises below designated size, various houses and merchants also generate electricity, but this part of the power generation is not within the industrial power generation above designated size from January to November.

 

  For your better understanding, I would like to explain these two indicators. Their survey objects, statistical caliber and coverage are different. First, the statistical caliber is different. The electricity consumption of the whole society is counted from the users of electricity, and the industrial power generation above designated size is counted from the suppliers. The scope of these two statistics is different. Specifically, the electricity consumption of the whole society is the full-scale electricity consumption, that is, the total electricity consumption, including the electricity consumption of enterprises and residents, as well as the self-produced and self-used electricity and line loss of power plants. The statistical caliber of industrial power generation above designated size refers to the power generation of industrial enterprises above designated size. The current standard of industrial enterprises above designated size is industrial enterprises with annual main business income of 20 million yuan or more, so it does not include the power generation of small industrial power generation enterprises below designated size, and it is not a full caliber power generation.

 

  Second, it is affected by some distributed power generation. In recent years, distributed solar energy and wind power generation, which are widely dispersed and small in size, have developed rapidly, and they are mostly distributed in various types of residential buildings, merchants and some industrial enterprises below the scale. Because the power generation enterprises are small in scale, this part of the power generation does not meet the industrial statistical standards above the scale, and some of them are merchants and residential buildings, so it is not counted in the monthly industrial power generation above the scale, but will be counted in the whole society’s power generation. As we all know, our data are usually released in the middle of the next month. So many small-scale power generation scattered around the country will be counted annually, and the power generation of the whole society will also be released in the annual statistical bulletin. Generally speaking, the industrial power generation above designated size accounts for about 95% of the total social power generation, which has fluctuated a little recently. The power generation below designated size is increasing, while the power generation above designated size is decreasing, but the decrease is not big, which is probably the ratio. Look, everybodymonthlyThe expression "industries above designated size" cannot be ignored in power generation. Statistical indicators are relatively rigorous, and everyone should also pay attention to the meaning and scope of statistical indicators when using them, so as to facilitate the more accurate use of data. Thank you.

  What is the employment situation in 2023? Did you complete the target task? The number of college graduates in 2024 is expected to reach a new high. What will be the employment trend? Thank you.

  Thank you for your question. Employment is also a matter of great concern to everyone, because it is the biggest livelihood. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council have always attached great importance to the employment issue, emphasizing the promotion of stable employment to a strategic level. All localities and departments insist on giving priority to employment and optimizing and adjusting policies and measures to stabilize employment. In the past year, we made every effort to stabilize the overall employment situation and the overall employment situation improved. There are several characteristics.

 

  First, investigate the decline of unemployment rate and the continuous increase of new jobs. On a quarterly basis, the national urban survey unemployment rate is 5.4%, 5.2%, 5.2% and 5.0% respectively, and the trend of gradual improvement in employment is obvious. From January to November, the number of new jobs in cities and towns was 11.8 million, an increase of 350,000 over the same period of last year.

 

  Second, key groups and difficult groups have strong employment security. A series of job stability support and job expansion incentives came into effect, and the classified assistance for groups with employment difficulties was effective, and the employment of migrant workers, young people, people with employment difficulties and other groups was effectively guaranteed. In 2023, the total number of migrant workers reached 297.53 million, an increase of 1.91 million over the previous year. The average unemployment rate of migrant agricultural registered population in cities and towns was 4.9%, a decrease of 0.7 percentage points over the previous year. From January to November, the number of unemployed people in cities and towns was 4.75 million, and the number of people with employment difficulties was 1.56 million.

 

  Third, the employment scale of people out of poverty has increased steadily. All localities and departments give full play to the mechanisms of labor cooperation, counterpart support and fixed-point assistance between the east and the west, and carry out in-depth special assistance for poverty alleviation and relocation in key counties and ex situ, so that the employment of poverty-stricken people will grow steadily. By the end of November 2023, the number of migrant workers will be 32.94 million, exceeding the target of 30 million.

 

  In this year’s employment situation, the overall judgment is that the pressure still exists, and the structural contradictions in employment of some groups and some industries will still be more prominent. However, with the recovery of economy, the acceleration of industrial transformation and upgrading, and the accumulation of positive factors to stabilize employment, China’s employment situation is expected to remain stable. There are several reasons:

 

  First, the expansion of economic scale has brought about an increase in employment. Economic growth is the basis for stabilizing and expanding employment. In recent years, the continuous expansion of China’s economic growth is the key to stimulating employment growth. In 2024, the increment of China’s economic creation is expected to be greater than last year, which will provide strong support for expanding employment. Second, the number of people leaving the labor market in 2024 will be larger than the number of people newly entering the labor market, which also provides more employment space for people looking for jobs. The third is to upgrade the industrial structure and expand the employment capacity. Compared with other industries, the service industry with higher labor intensity has obvious advantages in absorbing employment. Since last year, the service industry has recovered well, and its proportion in GDP is also increasing. The proportion of service industry in GDP has exceeded the level before the epidemic, and the employment-driven role of catering, transportation, wholesale and retail industries is more obvious. Looking forward to this year, service consumption will be more active, and the growth of service industry will continue to be one of the main forces driving employment absorption. At the same time, new industries, new formats and new business models are developing vigorously, generating many brand-new job demands, which is also conducive to expanding employment space and improving employment quality. Fourth, the effect of stabilizing employment policy continues to exert significant effects. The Central Economic Work Conference has also made arrangements for this, especially pointing out that more policies are needed to stabilize expectations, growth and employment. All localities and departments will give more prominence to employment priority orientation, increase employment assistance for key groups, and the release of policy dividends is expected to continue to provide a strong guarantee for employment stability. Thank you.

 

China’s current economic situation: interconnection, smooth logistics and active trade

In the first half of the year, the international, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan express delivery business reached 520 million pieces, and the daily average of cross-border express delivery reached 5.5 million pieces.

       International Post Office Development Research Center Hu Kai:Our service network has been able to reach more than 50 major countries, and there are hundreds of thousands of square meters of overseas warehouses in North America, Europe and other major export areas in Australia, which have laid a very good foundation for the export of cross-border e-commerce trade and have the prerequisites.

       In the first half of this year, 2,490 trains were operated in China and Europe, up 69% year-on-year, and the international cargo and mail transportation volume of civil aviation was 1.161 million tons, up 11.6% year-on-year. The open, inclusive and increasingly perfect modern logistics network made economic and trade exchanges more active and the national economy developed steadily.

A shares are too shocking! More than 4,000 shares fell, and 300 down-limit indexes still floated red, revealing a heavy signal.

K diagram 000001_0

K graph BK1158_0

  On April 15, the market fluctuated and rebounded all day, and the three major indexes all rose more than 1%. The trend of size index is obviously differentiated,The index fell more than 9%, and more than 500 shares fell more than 9%.

  At the close, the Shanghai Composite Index rose 1.26%, the Shenzhen Component Index rose 1.53% and the Growth Enterprise Market Index rose 1.85%.

  In terms of plates,, high dividends and other sectors were among the top gainers., gold, environmental protection, tourism and other sectors were among the top losers.

  On the whole, individual stocks fell more and rose less, with more than 4,000 stocks falling in the whole market. The turnover of Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets today was 997.1 billion, 341.2 billion more than the previous trading day.

  Northbound funds bought a large net of 8.108 billion yuan throughout the day, and the net purchase amount in a single day reached a one-month high; amongThe net purchase was 3.892 billion yuan,The net purchase was 4.216 billion yuan.

  Today’s A shares,Although not everyone can make money, most people must have been shocked..

  The so-called "shock" must be a rare sight at ordinary times. Today, we have witnessed the history of A shares:

  1) In early trading, the Shanghai Composite Index once fell below 3,000 points, but it soon went to V, and the highest rose to 3,066.94 points, which was shocking;

  From 9:30 to 9:50, that is, the most thrilling decline today, northbound funds were bought "impersonally", and the net purchase amount in 20 minutes was as high as about 9 billion yuan, which greatly reversed the market sentiment and was also very shocking.

  2) off the charts, a daily limit stock, reached 336 at most and 317 at the close. Since this wave of rebound on February 6, it has rarely happened, which is shocking;

  3) If the market value of A-share stocks is ranked from small to large, you will find that:On the one hand, there are small and micro-sized stocks that have almost fallen, and on the other hand, there are large-cap stocks that are all red.-Isn’t this picture shocking?

  Combined with the above analysis, today’s A shares may reveal an important change signal-the spring of leading stocks with excellent performance is coming. Let’s look at it specifically.

  ST plate, small limit tide

  In fact, in the short-term elves at 9:25 in the morning, the large-scale limit of ST stocks has hinted that today’s disk is very unusual.

  Obviously, this is closely related to the Opinions on Strictly Implementing the Delisting System issued by the CSRC on April 12. The document proposes that through strict delisting standards, efforts should be made to clear "zombie empty shells" and "black sheep" and reduce the value of "shell" resources; At the same time, broaden diversified exit channels and strengthen investor protection of delisting companies.

  Moreover, the short-term negative effect of this "strictest delisting new regulation" has also spread to those small-cap stocks that are poorly managed and do not have growth.

  At the close, a total of 317 stocks in the whole market fell, including 76 ST stocks; In addition, the other 241 down-limits are mainly non-ST small ones.

  Short-term even board market is also affected. The most popular cyclical stocks last week fell into collective adjustment today.Waiting for many popular stocks to fall, butAnd other stocks still show strong strength in the session; at-the-close orderStep out of the sky floor.

  According to Wind data, as of the close, the performance of CSI 2000 and micro-disk index was obviously weak, and the overall performance of Wande micro-disk index fell by nearly 9%.

  On the other hand, the average share price of All-A shares fell by 2.08% today, indicating that heavyweights dominated the rising side.

  High dividends ushered in an outbreak.

  Throughout the day, high dividend assets were active. Indexes such as CSI A50, CSI 300 and dividend index, which represent the core assets of A shares, led the gains.

  In the prefix plate,Put a huge daily limit in the morning,Continue to hit a new high in the past 10 years. According to the latest announcement, the company expects to achieve a net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies of 923 million yuan to 1.046 billion yuan in the first quarter of 2024, a year-on-year increase of 50% to 70%.

  It is worth noting that when the Shanghai Composite Index dived and turned green in early trading, FTSE China A50 index futures did not dive, while northbound funds continued to flood into the bargain-hunting.

  From the perspective of contribution, from 9:50 to 10:30, in the unilateral upward segment after the Shanghai Composite Index bottomed out, the Chinese prefix stock contributed the most.

  It said that the new "National Nine Articles" was released, and "Bonus+"ushered in a long-term valuation reshaping. Referring to overseas experience, after the dividend policy was defined in Japan’s Company Law in 2005, the dividend rate of listed companies increased greatly, and its "dividend+"industries were divided into two categories:

  One is the traditional high dividend with a significantly outperformed dividend yield, which is mapped to A shares including electricity, operators, coal, etc.

  The other category is the potential high dividend of consumer products with moderate overall dividend level but great internal differentiation, which is mapped to A shares, including home appliances, some mass goods, clothing and home textiles. When the second type of overseas enterprises raise dividends, the excess return is more closely linked to the marginal change of free cash flow.

  It is said that high dividends are becoming a trend of thought, and the management’s promotion of the rule of law in the capital market resonates with market preferences (large-scale warehouse assets), corporate governance optimization trends (high-quality governance, high-quality returns, high-quality mergers and acquisitions), or clues to the next wave of trends.

  In addition to the Chinese prefix, the brokerage sector also took the initiative today, and the increase was ahead of the close. However, the fly in the ointment is that the performance of large-cap leading stocks in the sector is average, which will lower the expectation of short-term follow-up to some extent.

  According to the open source research report, the new "National Nine Articles" highlights strict management and strong foundation, and emphasizes investor protection, which is in line with the current development stage and major contradictions of the capital market and is conducive to enhancing market attractiveness from the source. It is emphasized that brokers will put functionality in the first place, investment banking and wealth management capacity building will be the focus in the future, and the industry concentration will be accelerated under the guidance of strict supervision and creating high-quality head brokers.

  Is it spring for blue chip stocks?

  It is not difficult to see that although more than 4,000 stocks fell today, the index performance is not weak due to the general strength of heavyweights.

  However, if you think that this is just a common situation of "rising the index without rising individual stocks", you may have missed some important signals.

  At least in the similar structured market in the past, there will not be so many stocks falling below the limit; It is also difficult for the stock index to close when there are so many stocks falling.

  Therefore, feeling that "things are changing" is very important for everyone to adjust their subsequent investment strategies.

  It is said that the implementation of the new "National Nine Articles" has laid a solid foundation for the long-term and healthy development of China’s capital market, and the strategic allocation value of dividend strategy is increasing in both short-term and long-term investment dimensions. The framework of the new round of "1+N" policy system in the capital market has gradually become clear, and the focus of reform has shifted to the investment side, focusing on improving the quality of listed companies and investors’ returns, and consolidating the important foundation for the long-term healthy development of China’s capital market. The short-term policy is more conducive to the market style and dividend strategy.

  It is believed that if the follow-up policies are further implemented, with the disclosure of the annual report and the performance forecast of the first quarterly report, the performance stabilization of the excellent sector and the leading companies in various industries will be verified, and the improvement of free cash flow brought about by the downward capital expenditure will be further confirmed. The listed companies as a whole will increase the dividend ratio, which will make the leading companies with excellent A shares bring real returns to investors, and the leading index with excellent performance is expected to be dominant.

  A shares rose sharply on the first day of the new "National Nine Articles"! Can we repeat the bull market?

  A shares have changed dramatically! Rush to the hot search! The Chinese prefix is stronger, and the big financial sector broke out collectively.

  Is the spring of heavyweights back? Nearly 4,000 shares of floating green SSE 50 rose against the market and "Chinese prefix" strengthened.

Luxury + smart, is the new Hongqi H5 worth buying? Give you pertinent advice

When it comes to Hongqi, I believe everyone is familiar with it. From the early "big shot" cars to today’s Guochao representatives, it has always been at the forefront of the times. As an entry-level car of the Hongqi brand, the Hongqi H5 has won the favor of many consumers as soon as it is listed.

From the new red flag H5 price range 159,800 – 225,900 yuan, take the route of the people, with the car market more and more young, the new red flag H5 adopts a short front overhang/long rear overhang design, plus a low center of gravity and a slippery back roof, the overall shape is more fashionable and dynamic, is catering to the preferences of contemporary young people.

The new Hongqi H5 focuses on "smart + luxury". It is said that the appearance, configuration and power are all good. How is the actual performance? I will explore with you.

The appearance design is more fashionable, the oriental aesthetic is new Chinese style, seizing the hearts of young people?

In an era where beauty is justice, let’s take a look at appearance first.

We tested the 2023 2.0T Zhilian Banner Chang version. The color scheme is a very atmospheric "Quantum Silver Grey", which looks full of aura. Although the appearance caters to the young market, it still retains the majestic atmosphere of the red flag. The iconic red logo extends from the middle of the grille to the front hatch cover. The front face adopts a large-size air intake grille design, which is quite domineering. The LED headlight groups on both sides are sharp-eyed and support automatic headlights, LED daytime running lights, adjustable headlight height and delayed shutdown.

From the side, the roof line begins to slide after passing through the B-pillar and extends to the rear of the car, which looks very sporty. The tail is joined with the mainstream through-taillights, and the overall shape is more fashionable and technological.

Desktop is a map, vehicle-level OTA upgrade, smarter configuration

Entering the car, the overall design looks simple and atmospheric, the three multi-function steering wheels feel good, and the "scroll wheel" operation on the left and right sides is also quite silky. The center console is equipped with a 12.6-inch central control screen, as well as an instrument screen and a HUD head-up display. In the era of intelligence, Hongqi is also catching up with the trend of the times, and the intelligent level of the new Hongqi H5 is also quite outstanding. Compared with the network ecology of other models, the ecological integration is good. The new interactive design of "desktop is map" is really quite practical, and other user scenarios such as travel, accommodation, clothing, food, listening, watching, and payment revolve around the map.

As for voice commands, the editor tried precise commands such as "close the main driver’s window" and "open the sunroof", which are completely OK, but what is more surprising is that it can also issue vague commands, such as the editor saying "I’m hot", and the vehicle will automatically reduce the temperature of the air conditioner. The editor checked and found that there are as many as 17 functions of voice control, so you don’t need to do it if you can move the port.

In addition, car owners can also use the "Hongqi Zhilian" APP to remotely find a car, unlock it, warm up the car in advance, turn on the air conditioner and other operations. It can be seen that Hongqi understands young people.

It is worth mentioning that the new Hongqi H5 supports OTA upgrades for the whole vehicle, which means that in addition to OTA upgrades for the five major systems of auxiliary driving, infotainment, power, chassis, body comfort, interconnection, and 40 + controllers, it also supports FOTA firmware upgrades, which means that the update can be completed at home without having to go to the store.

Wheelbase over 2.9 meters, more space, seat upgrades, leapfrog driving experience

As a B-class car, the new Hongqi H5 has a length, width and height of 4988/1875/1470mm, and a wheelbase of 2920mm, which is half a circle larger than the Accord and Camry models of the same level. Therefore, it performs quite well in actual space, and the riding space has reached the level of C-class cars.

Riding comfort has always been an important indicator for consumers to buy a car. In terms of seats, the new Hongqi H5 is wrapped in imitation leather + genuine leather, which feels soft and comfortable to sit on. The wrapping on both sides is also very strong, and the back support is also very good. The front seats can also be electrically adjusted in 8 directions, supporting ventilation, heating, 4-way electric leg supports, and what’s more, there is an 8-point pneumatic massage, which is really comfortable.

High-strength body structure, rich safety auxiliary features, pay attention to respiratory health

The new Hongqi H5 is also quite in place whether it is active safety, passive safety or health safety. It is understood that the new Hongqi H5 uses high-strength steel on a large scale to ensure the strength of the body. At the same time, the 9H4M body structure improves the stability of the body and ensures the living space of the occupants. This standard is higher than the 2021 version of the C-NCAP five-star safety design standard, and the 9H4M body has a 30% improvement in impact resistance compared with the previous generation 9H body.

In addition, the new Red Flag H5 also takes into account the safety of pedestrians outside the car, using a multi-stage energy-absorbing front bumper and a spider web energy-absorbing and dissipating hair cover, which can effectively reduce the damage to pedestrians’ heads and legs. The 2.0T Zhilian Flag Chang version of the test drive comes standard with adaptive cruise, front and rear collision warning system, active braking system, lane departure warning and maintenance assistance, road traffic sign recognition, fatigue monitoring, automatic anti-glare rearview mirrors, etc., which can be said to be very safe.

As for the health and safety of the car, the new Hongqi H5 is equipped with an air quality monitoring system and can automatically adjust the planned air according to the concentration of PM2.5 in the car. In addition, the cockpit uses 8 low-volatile and low-odor materials, combined with environmentally friendly production processes to improve the air quality of the new car.

2.0T + 8AT, abundant power, smooth and fuel-efficient, and outstanding power performance

To say how powerful a car is, of course, you have to drive it to know. The 2.0T Zhilian Banner Chang version of the test drive is equipped with a 2.0T engine and an 8-speed manual transmission, with a maximum power of 224 horsepower and a peak torque of 360 Nm. The data is quite eye-catching.

The small series personally tested that when driving, the steering wheel is relatively light, the control is very silky, providing a good feel, and then the starting throttle response is also more positive, the acceleration explosive force is also very strong, deep stepping on the throttle can bring a certain sense of pushing back, and the power reserve is abundant, the middle and rear overtaking is very confident, the gear shift is also very smooth, and the downshift is also very fast when overtaking, the power performance is enough to meet the daily road conditions.

As a family car, the editor is actually more concerned about whether to meet the daily commuting needs. The new Hongqi H5 is not small, but it is quite flexible when turning, regardless of the narrow area for multiple U-turns or corrected trajectory parking, the steering operation is light and the steering radius is relatively small. The editor is still quite satisfied.

In terms of chassis suspension, the new Hongqi H5 features a McPherson-style independent front overhang. The chassis adjustment is more oriented towards driving comfort, and the acceleration performance is good. The editor still likes this adjustment performance. As a family car, this adjustment is in line with vehicle positioning and meets the needs of most consumers who commute.

Write at the end

Overall, the new Hongqi H5 has an atmospheric appearance, rich configuration, ample space, and satisfactory driving experience. Although it is priced close to the people, it is essentially a luxury brand that rivals the standard. However, some of the configurations of high-end models are further decentralized to entry-level models, in order to improve the overall configuration level of the vehicle.

The upgrade of the new Hongqi H5 this time, whether it is the appearance, interior design, or even the configuration and power, has been further improved, and the cost performance has been further highlighted. Finally, the editor recommends that you must try it yourself to confirm whether it meets your needs.

How is the property market in the second half of the year? "Housing without speculation" will remain the main line of policy.

  According to previous years’ practice, analyzing the current economic situation, Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party, which will deploy economic work in the second half of the year, is expected to be held in the near future, and what attitude it will make on the regulation of the property market, or set the tone for the market trend in the second half of the year.

  Some insiders believe that the differentiation characteristics of the domestic real estate market are increasingly obvious, and policy control tends to be strengthened in some areas. It is expected that the policy will adhere to one city and one policy in the third quarter, and some areas may continue to tighten, which will have an inhibitory effect on market transactions in some overpriced cities. Housing enterprises need to flexibly formulate strategies for destocking.

  Five of the seven meetings involved real estate.

  Since July 2017, Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party, with economy as the main topic, has been held seven times. Except for the two meetings on October 31, 2018 and December 13, 2018, the other five meetings made important statements on the real estate market.

  For example, on July 31, 2018, Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party made up his mind to solve the real estate market problem, adhere to the policy of the city, promote the balance between supply and demand, reasonably guide expectations, rectify the market order, and resolutely curb the rise in housing prices. Accelerate the establishment of a long-term mechanism to promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market.

  The latest one was April 19th, 2019, when Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party demanded that the house be used for living, not for speculation, and that a long-term regulation mechanism of "one city, one policy, one policy according to the city and the main responsibility of the city government" should be implemented.

  This is also the second half of 2018, after failing to mention the real estate content twice in a row, Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party revisited the slogan of "housing and not speculating". In the industry’s view, this move is also expected.

  In the first quarter of 2019, due to the expectation of policy relaxation, the actual easing of funds and the actual downward trend of credit interest rates, the real estate market showed a warming state, and the property market "Xiaoyangchun" started to increase, and the wave of land grabbing in hot cities resumed.

  In this context, Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party once again mentioned that housing is not speculation, which shows that he is paying close attention to the warming of hot cities’ markets, breaking the previous expectation that hot cities will relax restrictions on purchases and loans, and also to prevent risks such as rising prices in the real estate market.

  After Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party set the tone of property market regulation in April this year, the regulation policies of subsequent ministries and local governments followed.

  Zhang Dawei, chief analyst of Zhongyuan Real Estate, said that in the first half of 2019, the national real estate regulation and control policies reached 251 times, up 31% year-on-year compared with 192 times in the first half of 2018.

  "Real estate regulation and control policies have shown a significant tightening trend since mid-April. In the past two months, real estate has been regulated for nearly 100 times, and the density is at the highest stage in history. " Zhang Dawei said.

  On the day of Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party (April 19th), according to the requirements of monthly analysis, quarterly evaluation and annual assessment determined by the scheme of long-term real estate mechanism, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development gave early warning tips to six cities with large fluctuations in house prices and land prices in the first quarter of 2019.

  One month later, on May 18th, in order to further implement the main responsibility of the real estate market in regulating cities, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development gave early warning tips to Foshan, Suzhou, Dalian and Nanning, four cities where the price index of newly-built commercial housing and second-hand housing has increased greatly in recent three months.

  The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development requires all localities to resolutely implement the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, always adhere to the positioning that houses are used for living, not for speculation, further strengthen market monitoring and analysis, solve problems in market operation in time, and earnestly implement the requirements of stabilizing land prices, housing prices and expectations to ensure the stable and healthy development of the real estate market.

  Suzhou, which was warned by the "yellow card" of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, upgraded its real estate control measures twice in a row on May 11th and July 24th this year.

  Why should Suzhou continuously upgrade its regulation? The Supplementary Opinions on Further Promoting the Sustainable and Healthy Development of the City’s Real Estate Market issued by Suzhou Municipal People’s Government emphasizes that the regulation and upgrading of the property market is based on "persistence ’ A house is for living, not for speculation ’ Positioning, the implementation of stable land prices, stable housing prices, stable expectations, curb speculative real estate speculation, and reasonably guide market expectations.

  The one-day tour of Kaifeng property market policy sends a signal to the outside world that regulation will not be relaxed easily. On July 19th, Kaifeng Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau issued a document to adjust the property market sales restriction policy, which was considered as a loose regulation implemented by third-and fourth-tier cities due to the downturn of the property market. However, one day later, Kaifeng Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau itself announced the cancellation of the document.

  On July 20th, Kaifeng Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau said that due to its decision to "adjust the trading time limit of newly purchased commercial housing and cancel the filing restrictions", it did not conduct sufficient market research and demonstration, and lacked sufficient pre-judgment and evaluation of the possible market impact, so it revoked this decision and withdrew the relevant letter.

  Suzhou’s upgrading regulation and one-day tour of Kaifeng’s loosening policy have different measures, but the logic behind them tends to be the same: the current property market regulation is easy to tighten but difficult to loosen.

  Yan Yuejin, research director of the think tank center of Yiju Research Institute, said that Suzhou’s policy overweight is similar to Kaifeng’s policy of loosening restrictions on sales, that is, housing and not speculating is the policy logic in the second half of this year, and there is no possibility of relaxation. Relevant market participants must fully realize the importance of stabilizing the market at present. The introduction of similar policies has also formed good conditions for the subsequent control of investment speculative demand and stable expectations.

  In the second half of the year, housing enterprises will reduce prices and promote sales?

  The fluctuation of the real estate market in China is closely related to the policy adjustment, and it also provides a basis for the next policy adjustment.

  Guo Shiying, an analyst at Zhuge Housing Search Data Research Center, told CBN that if we want to predict the follow-up policy direction, we should first pay attention to the changes in the two major indicators of real estate prices and transaction volume. "Stabilizing land prices, stabilizing housing prices and stabilizing expectations" will still be the main tone of regulation.

  According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, from January to June, the sales area of commercial housing nationwide was 757.86 million square meters, down 1.8% year-on-year, and the decline rate was 0.2 percentage points higher than that in January to May. Among them, the residential sales area decreased by 1.0%. The sales volume of commercial housing was 7,069.8 billion yuan, up by 5.6%, and the growth rate dropped by 0.5 percentage point.

Source: National Bureau of Statistics

  In 2018, the national sales area of commercial housing exceeded 1.7 billion square meters, a record high. Even though the sales area in the first half of 2019 decreased by 1.8% year-on-year, the total volume was still at a high level in recent years.

  On July 15th, Mao Shengyong, director and spokesperson of the National Statistics Department of the National Bureau of Statistics, said at the press conference of the State Council Office that the current real estate market is generally stable in terms of housing price, real estate investment, real estate sales, construction area and land transaction. From the next stage, on the one hand, urbanization is still advancing, and there is still a need for improvement, which is a support. On the other hand, the concept of "housing without speculation" is more and more deeply rooted in people’s hearts, emphasizing "policy based on the city" and emphasizing the main responsibility of the city government. These two factors are combined, and it is possible to stabilize land prices, house prices and expectations in the real estate market in the next stage.

  Yan Yuejin said that the first half of this year is an important stage to actively implement the policy of "stabilizing housing prices and stabilizing expectations", and the phenomenon of high housing prices in some cities has also been well curbed. Of course, in the actual process, some supporting houses such as well-occupied school districts still have speculation, and some sales that seem to have reduced prices also have illegal charges. Similar situations require continued strengthening of house price control, especially in the third quarter of this year. The policy is further tightened. For related housing enterprises, they may take the initiative to reduce prices and promote sales in the third quarter.

  He believes that the policy in the third quarter is mainly tight, which may also have an inhibitory effect on market transactions. Judging from this, the possibility of rising residential inventory will increase, and some housing enterprises also need to flexibly formulate strategies for destocking.

  Although the overall sales decline has narrowed, which is close to the same period last year, the regional differences in the domestic real estate market have gradually increased. From the sales area of commercial housing, the local property market is uneven, with some doubling (Beijing) and some falling by more than 50% (Hainan).

  According to the data provided by Zhuge’s housing search, from the perspective of the new housing market, cities at all levels have different performances, with the first line rebounding, the second line stabilizing and the third and fourth lines cooling down. In the first half of 2019, the total transaction volume of commercial housing in three first-tier cities in Beishang and Shenzhen was about 12.54 million square meters, a year-on-year increase of 43.89%. The transaction area of second-tier representative cities was about 114.1 million square meters, up 0.71% year-on-year, and the overall transaction scale remained stable. The transaction area of the third-tier representative cities in the first half of the year was about 55.77 million square meters, down 16.07% year-on-year, and the year-on-year decline was the most significant among all cities.

  In addition to the decline in transactions, the current decline in the real estate market in third-and fourth-tier cities is also reflected in the reduction of land transfer. For some third-and fourth-tier cities that rely heavily on land transfer, the pressure to develop the economy is increasing, and the impulse to adjust the property market regulation policy may become stronger.

  Guo Shiying said that although the central government has always emphasized "one city, one policy, one policy for each city", the local dominance and the regulation direction of local cities have always been guided by the central goal. Under the guidance of the central goal, cities can fine-tune the current urban policies in order to stabilize the development of the real estate market. As for the types and degrees of policy adjustments, they need to be determined according to the development characteristics of current cities.

Ma Huateng criticized by name: ten thousand words to interpret how Tencent lost the key battle of party games

Author |Pang ruijin

Edit |Hu zhanjia

In the recent game circle, the most eye-catching is undoubtedly the party game war between Tencent’s Dream Star and Netease’s Egg Party. Previously, Zero-state LT (ID: Lingtai _ LT) made a detailed interpretation of this in the article "Ren Yuxin’s" Opening Ding Lei ":The Star of the Dream of the Yuan Dynasty must not be guarded by the Iron Throne | Interpretation of Ten Thousand Words".

Now that three months have passed, what is the situation between the two sides?

Players who have paid attention to these two games clearly know that the indicators of Yuan Meng Xing are obviously behind those of Egg Party at present. Let’s see what happened in these three months.

The annual meeting named "Yuan Meng Xing"

Ma Huateng explained the reason for "going all out"

On January 29th, at the annual meeting of Tencent in 2023, Ma Huateng, Chairman and CEO of Tencent, spent 35 minutes reviewing in detail the development of Tencent’s businesses in the past year and made plans for the future.

Among them, when talking about the game business, Ma Huateng focused on "Dream Star":

"Games are our trump card business. At present, it is known as the world’s largest game company, and it seems to be lying on the credit book of success.

However, in the past year, we have been greatly challenged. The new generation of game companies have emerged one after another. From the gameplay to the content category, we are at a loss for a while, and friends keep producing new products. We feel as if we have made no achievements-we have also launched new products, but they are not as good as expected.

In the last two months, the leisure family party game "Yuan Meng Xing" has just entered the battlefield.

Although it is late, it is not only a game for us, but also has a social component. This is our base camp position in itself, and we must go all out and ask all businesses to combine and explore common development. "

Ma Huateng delivered a speech at the Tencent Annual Meeting in 2023.

Ma Huateng’s statement shows that Dream Star bears the ambition of Tencent, the company’s next rival in the game field, the glory of the king or Peace Elite.

From this, we can also know that the main reason why Dream Star was promoted to Tencent Group’s strategy is that the product and traffic combination model of Tencent’s core battlefield "game+social relationship chain" is being challenged-UGC social game "Egg Party" wearing an entertainment coat is rapidly becoming popular in the social field of acquaintances and strangers of teenagers, and it has achieved a monthly life of over 100 million in just one and a half years, and gained 500 million registered users, directly entering Tencent’s social base camp.

But at the same time, Ma Huateng also criticized that the game business can’t lie on the credit book. Compared with the new products of friends, tencent games’s business lacks bright products.

Ma Huateng’s dissatisfaction has its own reasons: according to the financial report data, tencent games got a rough start in 2023, especially local games: Q1 revenue was about 35.1 billion yuan, up 6% year-on-year; In Q2, it dropped to 31.8 billion yuan, down about 9.4% from the previous month. The domestic market revenue of Q3 games increased by 5% year-on-year to 32.7 billion yuan, but the growth rate was far behind that of the international market by 14%.

Judging from the PPT of Tencent’s annual meeting circulated on the Internet, Ma Huateng refers to the new products of friends, mainly referring to Netease’s "Going Against the Water" mobile game and "Egg Party", which set off the banner of new travel and even sent Netease to the fourth place in the market value of Internet companies, as well as the "Collapse: Star Dome Railway" launched by Mihayou, which can succeed "The Original God".

The PPT at Tencent’s annual meeting was transmitted online, in which competitors’ new products, such as Netease’s "Going Against the Water" mobile game and "Egg Party" and Mihayou’s "Collapse: Star Dome Railway", performed brilliantly.

In contrast, almost all the new products launched by Tencent in 2023 were eclipsed. The only bright spot was Yuan Meng Xing, which Tencent bet on the resources of the whole group, and it needed to compete directly with Netease’s Egg Party. This is a hard and protracted war, and even if Tencent goes all out, it may not be able to achieve its strategic goals.

Hundreds of people’s "Egg Party" suppressed thousands of people’s "Yuan Meng Xing"

Netease got revenge for the chicken-eating war.

Tencent’s emphasis on Dream Star is almost unprecedented.

On the research and development level, as a strategic product, Yuan Meng Xing was personally created by Z1 Studio led by Yao Xiaoguang, president of Tianmei Studio Group, the most powerful subsidiary of Tencent IEG.

Because Yao Xiaoguang is also the head of social platform business of Tencent PCG, and is in charge of QQ, Yuan Meng Xing was originally named as "ZPLAN", which is a one-dimensional universe project exploration focusing on games and social orientation. After a period of exploration of super QQ show, with the fire of Netease’s Egg Party, it evolved into the final form of Yuan Meng Xing as a competing product to meet players.

When ZPAN was first exposed, it was rumored that Tianmei had set up a team of more than 1,000 people, working in Shenzhen, Beijing and Shanghai, and Tianmei also had R&D team members from several other studios involved. According to an internal employee of Tencent IEG, the entire Tianmei studio group, except L1 and L2 (studios mainly responsible for the glory of the king and the glory of the king: The World), has helped to participate in the research and development of Yuan Meng Xing, "grabbing people everywhere, and the workstation can’t sit down".

On the marketing level, the first wave of marketing offensive has been fierce since the launch of Dream Star on December 15th. On December 2, 2023, Tencent not only announced the official launch time of the game, but also announced in a high-profile manner that it would invest 1.4 billion yuan in the first phase, without capping the long-term investment, more than 600 heads of KOL waving flags, and Tencent poured all the resources of the whole group to help, which made Yuan Meng Xing show the appearance of the opening king. As soon as it appeared, it overtook Egg Party in both the download list and the best-selling list.

Similarly, Netease attaches unprecedented importance to Egg Party. Ding Lei, CEO of Netease, said in early 2023 that Netease would continue to invest more R&D power and management resources in Egg Party, making it a product with 10 or even 20 years of vitality like Fantasy Westward Journey. To this end, Ding Lei broke the convention and stared at the game project personally, not only asking questions, but even being willing to participate.

However, according to the latest report, there are only about 100 people in the team behind "Egg Party", which can’t be compared with "Dream Star". However, under Netease’s strong defensive strategy, Yuan Meng Xing only beat Egg Party for 20 days in the best-selling list, and then entered a stalemate stage for about a week, and then Egg Party began to overtake Yuan Meng Xing, which led Ma Huateng to criticize the game business mercilessly at Tencent’s 2023 annual meeting and explained why he should go all out to do Yuan Meng Xing.

Below, we can re-examine the process of engagement between the two sides from the data and time nodes published in Egg Party and Dream Star:

It is understood that "Egg Party" became popular during the Spring Festival in 2023, with a maximum income of over 10 million per day and a maximum daily activity of over 30 million, and continued to top the iOS game list within one month. On September 7, 2023, Netease announced in a high-profile way that "Egg Party" had achieved an unprecedented "double-billion achievement"-that is, MAU (monthly active users) exceeded 100 million+the total number of maps totaled 100 million. On December 8, Netease announced that the cumulative number of registered users of Egg Party exceeded 500 million.

On December 15th, Tencent’s Dream Star was launched, and the two sides launched an offensive and defensive war of marketing purchase. For the results, the outside world can only analyze the gains and losses of both sides from the changes in various lists.

Originally, Yuan Meng Xing dominated the Egg Party in both the best-selling list and the download list, but on January 1st, the Egg Party achieved a short-term overtaking, and from January 11th, Yuan Meng Xing has been behind the Egg Party in the best-selling list (Ma Huateng’s speech at Tencent’s annual meeting was in this period), and it was not until March 15th that the new season started that it overtook the Egg Party.

Comparison of the Best-seller Rankings of Yuan Meng Xing and Egg Party

Comparison of Download Rankings between Yuan Meng Xing and Egg Party

On January 25th, 2024, the creative team of Yuan Meng Xing released a "Letter to All Players of Yuan Meng Xing" through Weibo, official WeChat official account and other channels, in which some data performances since the launch of the product were disclosed for the first time-in less than one month after the launch of Yuan Meng Xing on December 15th, 2023, the number of registered players exceeded 80 million.

Tencent officially announced that the number of registered users of Yuan Meng Xing exceeded 80 million in the first month of its launch.

Then, on February 2, 2024, the Egg Party sent a happy news called "Egg Victory Ceremony" to the players in the game, saying that "we won again", and announced that the daily play times of Egg Paradise exceeded 100 million, 400,000+content creations were added every day, an average of 3.8 paradise maps were born every second, and the game had 20 million+creative partners with love and like-mindedness.

Next, Netease officially announced that the DAU (daily active users) of Egg Party on New Year’s Eve exceeded 40 million, and after the first day of the New Year’s Day, Dream Star was overtaken by Egg Party in the download list, and the gap between the two sides was rapidly widened during the whole Spring Festival file-data points, as of February 15, Egg Party was in China App Store for nearly 30 days.

Netease announced on the first day of New Year’s Eve that "Egg Party" will live more than 40 million days.

However, Yuan Meng Xing has not yet released all the data during the Spring Festival, but what is certain is that both DAU and Liushui are far lower than Egg Party, so Tencent’s offensive campaign for the Spring Festival has not won, but has been completely surpassed by Netease. So, how does Netease arrange the "Egg Party" to keep rolling?

Originally, Egg Party announced that it would invest 500 million yuan to encourage the creation of UGC content, but Dream Star announced that it would spend 1.4 billion yuan to encourage the creators of UGC in the first stage before it went online, and the subsequent investment would not be capped. After entering 2024, "Egg Party" quickly followed up and announced the opening of the annual plan of "10 billion subsidies to give back eggs". The first step was to double the original incentive of 500 million yuan to 1 billion yuan, and even provide employment opportunities.

At the beginning of 2024, Netease announced the opening of the annual plan of "10 billion subsidies to give back eggs"

Netease’s strategy of spending a lot of money has achieved results. Egg Party not only continued the popularity of last year’s Spring Festival, but even promoted DAU from 30 million during last year’s Spring Festival to 40 million on New Year’s Eve this year. However, the performance of Dream of the Yuan Dynasty has gone from bad to worse, which can only be explained as the struggle between two tigers is bound to hurt …

It can be said that this war not only failed to repeat the history of the "chicken-eating war" between Netease and Tencent five years ago, but also allowed Netease to report the "revenge with one arrow" for the defeat in the chicken-eating market five years ago.

Spring Festival marketing war

Who is better?

Kwan, the producer of Egg Party, said in an interview with foreign media mobilegamer.biz recently that the success of Egg Party depends not on huge purchases, but on effective promotion and marketing with UGC as the core, and the promotion of Egg Party depends on players and communities. For example, in January, the Tik Tok account of "Egg Party" rose by 13.84 million yuan, of which 10.28 million yuan rose in a week through the Spring Festival theme activities, which overwhelmed Dong Yuhui, and now it generates billions of views every month.

From January 22 to January 28, 2024, Egg Party gained more than 10.28 million yuan in a week through the theme activities of the Spring Festival.

On the other hand, the recent defeat of Yuan Meng Xing made Tencent fail to win the "king" position of the party game track. Is it a strategic mistake of Tencent, or is its strategy too conservative? And we can see the whole leopard from the fierce confrontation between the two sides in the Spring Festival stalls.

Actually, Ma Huateng didn’t arrive at the Spring Festival when he spoke at Tencent’s annual meeting. However, due to the family-friendly nature of Yuan Meng Xing and the fact that Egg Party was popular during the Spring Festival holiday last year, both players and practitioners regarded Yuan Meng Xing’s efforts in the Spring Festival as a time window and opportunity for Yuan Meng Xing to regain the situation, and Yuan Meng Xing also opened on January 26th.

During the whole Spring Festival of 2024, Tencent and Netease further "made a big fight" around the game Spring Festival welfare, celebration activities, star power, IP linkage, UGC content and so on. All kinds of marketing inside and outside the game are pervasive, and the marketing methods adopted by each party can almost find targeted countermeasures in the other party, such as:

"Egg Party" invited Andy as the spokesperson, while "Dream of the Yuan Dynasty" invited Adam, YUQI and Daxun Wei; "Egg Party" is linked with bears, while "Yuan Meng Xing" is linked with brands such as Altman and Milk Dragon. "Egg Party" carries out IP linkage with the Forbidden City to watch the Tang Dynasty, and promotes the traditional culture through innovative scene presentation and interesting cultural relics play. "Dream of the Yuan" is linked with several brands, such as Juewei Duck Neck, Haidilao, Luckin Coffee, Laiyifen Snacks, the GreenParty and Clever, to create offline stores and online games, so as to enlarge the influence of games in users’ real life.

During the Spring Festival, "Egg Party" also achieved the feat of covering hundreds of cities online through 43 Spring Festival temple fairs in 33 cities in 15 provinces, plus 154 egg friends’ encounters and some punching activities. "Dream of the Yuan Dynasty Star" launched a variety of linkage products offline, including "Star Treasure" dolls launched in cooperation with the Green Party and other brands, physical collection cards in cooperation with Aofei Entertainment, and even limited-edition "Dream of the Yuan Dynasty Star" theme fireworks products launched in cooperation with Liuyang Fireworks …

During the Spring Festival, the official of Egg Party actively arranged the offline Spring Festival temple fair activities.

A limited edition theme fireworks product jointly launched by Yuan Meng Xing and Liuyang Fireworks.

The most noteworthy thing about this is that the two sides take turns to board the Spring Festival Evening or other parties, which is very likely that you will sing and I will appear-

In fact, the first to start the cooperation mode between the game and the mainstream party is Yuan Meng Xing —— On the evening of December 31st, 2023, an adaptation song of "Family Fun" from Yuan Meng Xing named "Dream Together and Find Yourself" boarded "Sailing 2024—— New Year’s Eve Party of CCTV". When introducing the program, the host also specifically mentioned "Thanks to Tianmei Studio Group for their strong support to this program. Gather good friends anytime, anywhere. Dream star, let’s go to happiness together! "

The adaptation song "Dream Together" of "Dream of the Yuan Dynasty" appeared in the New Year’s Eve party of CCTV Headquarters.

Perhaps Netease was inspired by the linkage mode of game and party cooperation initiated by Tencent, so it planned a series of linkages between Egg Party and mainstream parties during the Spring Festival-first, Happy Birthday, which was adapted from the theme song of the seventh season of Egg Party on February 2nd, won the CCTV 2024 network Spring Festival Evening. For this party, CCTV’s four channels broadcasted 12 times in a row, and the whole network broadcast volume exceeded 1.5 billion. Then, on February 7th, the seven opera styles of Egg Party were even more stunning, and they appeared in the 2024 Henan Spring Festival Evening hosted by Henan Satellite TV. Many people were amazed by the combination of reality and drama art and expressive force.

"Egg Party" won the CCTV Headquarters’ 2024 Internet Spring Festival Gala on New Year’s Eve with "Happy Birth" adapted from the theme song of the seventh season.

"Egg Party" appeared in the 2024 Henan Spring Festival Gala hosted by Henan Satellite TV.

Netease was not satisfied with the Spring Festival Evening of CCTV and local TV respectively. On New Year’s Eve, it also held the 2024 Spring Festival Evening of Egg Island in the game, and built a new cyber New Year’s Eve with young players in three "Spring Festival Evening".

"Egg Party" held the 2024 Egg Island Spring Festival Evening in the game.

Pay attention! ! ! I’m the most beautiful egg in the Spring Festival, and I’m going to connect to three "Spring Festival Galas"!

After boarding the three Spring Festival Galas in succession, The Egg Party really attracted the attention of the mainstream network to a certain extent, and brought a very effective circle-breaking effect. According to statistics, on the three social platforms of Weibo, Tik Tok and bilibili, "Egg Party" generated eight related hot searches during the Spring Festival.

After boarding these three Spring Festival Galas in succession, there were eight related hot searches made by Egg Party during the Spring Festival.

As a direct competitor of Egg Party, Yuan Meng Xing was caught off guard by Netease’s Spring Festival Evening offensive for a time. After returning to work after the Spring Festival, the Yuan Meng Xing project team quickly reached a second cooperation with CCTV. This cooperation is to let "Yuan Meng Xing" broadcast the CCTV Lantern Festival live, and let the host read such a slogan simply and directly:

"Next, welcome everyone to" Yuan Meng Xing ".You can watch the Lantern Festival party and participate in solve riddles on the lanterns activities through the genuine family party APP or WeChat QQ Yuan Meng Xing applet. You can also get permanent’ fashion’ and’ lantern lights’! "

"Yuan Meng Xing" directly chose to cooperate with CCTV Lantern Festival.

However, this is also the advantage that Yuan Meng Xing with built-in Tencent video is more inclined to use Tencent’s resources to create a "small meta-universe" compared with Egg Party. Previously, Dream of the Yuan Dynasty used a projector in the Star Home to let users watch Tencent videos in the game, but this time, Dream of the Yuan Dynasty directly set up a new big screen in the middle of the Star Dream Square, so that all players can watch the live broadcast of CCTV Lantern Festival here.

"Star of Dreams" directly set up a new big screen in the middle of "Star Dream Square" to broadcast the CCTV Lantern Festival live.

This time, "Dream of the Yuan Dynasty" was presented in a live online interactive way: CCTV host and "Dream of the Yuan Dynasty" invited the audience in front of the scene and TV to solve riddles on the lanterns together; In the live broadcast, Xingbao showed riddles and did enough interaction; Finally, the host invited everyone to go to solve riddles on the lanterns in Yuan Meng Xing.

The host of CCTV and Yuan Meng Xing invited the audience in front of the TV to solve riddles on the lanterns together.

The way in which "Dream of the Yuan Dynasty Star" linked with the party was a concrete presentation of the "super digital scene" proposed by Ma Xiaoyi, senior vice president of Tencent a few years ago. When modern technology meets traditional festivals, as the only "Little Metauniverse" live broadcast scene of CCTV Lantern Festival, it not only embodies innovation, but also deepens the integration and communication of "thought+art+technology", allowing the public to feel the fresh experience brought by digital technology while celebrating the festival.

The live broadcast of "Dream Star" to the 2024 CCTV Lantern Festival is a concrete presentation of "super digital scene"

It is also the linkage with the live broadcast of the CCTV Lantern Festival that made Yuan Meng Xing, which dropped to 42 on the best-selling list, jump to 16th on the best-selling list on the Lantern Festival, which raised the income curve. Although it still can’t catch up with Egg Party, this wave of Lantern Festival offensive can be regarded as a hope for further counterattack of Yuan Meng Xing in the future.

However, the income curve of Yuan Meng Xing declined further, and it fell out of the top 50 of the best-selling list for the first time on March 7, which has already declared Yuan Meng Xing’s defeat in this round of the Spring Festival party game war. However, Tencent has not given up "Dream Star", and is currently preparing for the next big version of the content update, when a new round of party game showdown will be ushered in.

On February 29th, Netease released the financial report for the fourth quarter and the whole year of 2023. Although it set the best performance in history (revenue exceeding 100 billion for the first time and profit exceeding 30 billion for the first time), the Q4 revenue and profit were not as good as the market expectation, which led to the decline of Netease’s share price. Behind the decline of Netease Q4′ s performance, one is the lack of new games, and the other is to block "Dream Star". Netease has greatly increased its marketing expenses.

Ding Lei, the boss of Netease, commented on this: "The increase in marketing expenses in the fourth quarter is mainly due to competition. I think this is normal. During the Spring Festival this year, the number of daily active users of Egg Party exceeded 40 million, indicating that the marketing expenses we spent have received positive and positive results. The proportion of market expenses next year will not change much compared with this year. We are still very strict in the management of market expenses, and we have been actively exploring various methods to effectively improve the return on investment, so I believe that there is no need to worry about it from the operational point of view. "

In 2024, Netease’s investment in "Egg Party" is still increasing. For example, Netease’s annual plan of "10 billion subsidies to give back eggs" is intended to send 10 billion yuan in 2024. However, at present, Netease has paid a lot of money to block Yuan Meng Xing. After all, under the fierce attack of Tencent, Egg Party successfully suppressed Yuan Meng Xing in the double list (download list and best seller list) throughout the Spring Festival, and has maintained its advantages to this day. Even Yuan Meng Xing has surpassed the mobile game "Against the Water" and "Fantasy Westward Journey".

UGC content ecological moat is too deep

"Yuan Meng Xing" is hard to shake the user disk of "Egg Party"

Party games are inherently leisure and social, with low game threshold and strong social attributes. In fact, they have become the social currency of young people and can be called a new generation of "family fun games".

In the initial online stage of Yuan Meng Xing, as a new product, the game, together with Tencent’s call for more than 600 online celebrity to help out and large-scale purchase marketing, once made the growth rate and increment of Yuan Meng Xing exceed that of Egg Party, but with the user growth rate and increment of Yuan Meng Xing, it was exhausted, so it still could not swallow the stock market of Egg Party after one month.

During the Spring Festival, people will have a lot of leisure time, and large-scale population migration activities have also created conditions for the popularization of party games. Therefore, as the highlight moment of party games, the Spring Festival file is a severe test for Tencent and Netease. Therefore, both Tencent and Netease took the Spring Festival file as the stage of the second round of the party game war. However, in this fierce marketing war of the Spring Festival file of the party game, Yuan Meng Xing not only failed to shake the first-Mover advantage of Egg Party, but even further widened the gap.

Now Tencent and Netease have been fighting for three months, and both sides realize that this is not the battle of Tianwangshan, which can be done quickly, but will be a protracted war like a seesaw. Then, how can Yuan Meng Xing reverse the decline of "opening higher and walking lower"? Since big money marketing cannot reverse the situation, perhaps Tencent should make changes from the product level.

Party games are for young people, and the target users should be young people. The Star of Dreams wants to be a national leisure game of "Xian Yi for all ages" and replicate the success of the glory of the king. For this reason, Tencent integrated biochemical pursuit, Grandmaster at Arms, hide-and-seek, breaking through Neverland, Who is a werewolf, undercover action, etc. into Yuan Meng Xing, in an attempt to build a QQ game hall with party attributes and provide players with more choices.

Various ways of playing in Yuan Meng Xing

However, the recent data decline of Yuan Meng Xing also shows that the game with the goal of "Xian Yi for all ages" and "all ages" is probably a false proposition. Yuan Meng Xing wants to be a family fun game for users of all ages in product positioning, but the result that any group wants to do it may be that every group can’t do it well. If a player says that in the werewolf killing mode, the experience of single player matching and team matching is completely different, Tencent chose to sacrifice the game experience of single player in order to match the traffic of team matching.

On the Zhihu, the discussion about the declining popularity of Yuan Meng Xing has also become a hot topic. "How do you think that the popularity of" Yuan Meng Xing "has been greatly reduced after one month of service?" It has been viewed more than 2.18 million times, among which many game practitioners actively express their opinions.

According to the game planner "The Magician Cat is Extraordinary", when a homogeneous competing game appears, players tend not to play this homogeneous competing game because the original sinking cost is too high, for example, a lot of time and money spent before the game, various props accumulated in the game, and accumulated social relationships.

"The Magician Cat is Extraordinary" also compares the failure of many game products that follow the strategy, such as the glory of the king, and thinks that products that are essentially homogeneous can’t attract players to abandon sunk costs and throw themselves into the embrace of new products, unless Dream Star is "much better, good enough to make you willing to give up the old games you played before", otherwise, before Netease’s Egg Party doesn’t make any fatal mistakes,

The game industry analyst "Du Li Ren" thinks that "Yuan Meng Xing" lost in Goose Factory and didn’t realize that party games/family fun games/leisure competitive games/Sugar Bean People like games can make a big DAU product in China market. However, under this throne track, if the first-hand advantage is lost, the cost and difficulty of catching up will still be unbearable even for Goose Factory.

"DuDu Chestnut" also added that if the success of "Egg Party" is an ancient god-level splash of wealth because the product mispronounced the spell, then the current failure of "Star of Dreams" is the inevitable result of Don Quixote’s challenge to the throne windmill. From the marketing behavior of Goose Factory, we can see that the idea of launching the whole product reveals a sense of despair and fatalism that going out without proper sword has been besieged by six sects of Guangmingding.

In fact, two users in Zhihu, who are practitioners in the game industry, believe that the failure of Dream of the Yuan Dynasty lies in the loss of the first-hand advantage as a follower, and the migration cost is involved when users switch to new products after paying a certain sunk cost. From the game design point of view, Yuan Meng Xing, which stands on the giant’s shoulders, is not because the product is not good enough, but because the UGC community has already formed before the Egg Party, and the corresponding users’ minds, emotions, culture and socialization are difficult to be successfully copied by the latecomers.

Maybe someone will refute the case of Netease’s chicken-eating war that Tencent’s post-production team won five years ago, but if we make a detailed reply, the situation faced by these two wars is different:

First of all, Netease’s "Wild Action" was less than half a year ahead of Tencent’s mobile game of eating chicken. Although the daily active users exceeded 20 million, the user relationship chain has not yet settled, and the sinking cost of users abandoning the game is not high. The game of eating chicken belongs to the competitive battle category that Tencent has always been good at. Players are more accustomed to using Tencent’s traffic based on WeChat and QQ and the user’s social relationship chain to open black, not to mention Tencent also owns the copyright of genuine chicken-eating games. In addition, internal Tianmei and Photon are also engaged in horse racing, and the two studios have been deeply involved in the shooting game track for many years, and they are ahead of Netease in polishing and restoring the details of the products. Finally, before the game version number was obtained, Tencent directly killed Netease’s chicken eating game by operating two chicken eating products for more than one year at a loss.

In addition, in terms of product quality, Netease’s Wilderness Action is also one level worse than Tencent Photonics Studio’s Jedi Survival: Stimulating the Battlefield. Netease uses its own engine Messiah to develop, and the picture quality and operation feel are not enough. Tencent uses unreal engine 4, which is consistent with the end-game "Survival of the Jedi", and restores the game experience anchored by the end-game to the greatest extent. In addition, Netease’s accumulated experience in shooting game track is far from Tencent’s, and the route of photon selection to restore the end-game has also defeated the innovative route of mobile games chosen by Tianmei. In the end, "Jedi Survival: Stimulating the Battlefield" successfully ate the "chicken" from the melee of many mobile games.

Ma Xiaoyi, senior vice president of Tencent, once commented on Tencent’s winning the chicken-eating war: "When the door of a market segment has not yet been opened, it needs enough strength, that is, good enough products and sufficient resources, to push the door open. For example, some people started shooting games in China in 2004, and Tencent only started doing them in 2008. The ultimate success is those who achieve quality, get a good solution in key gameplay, understand the core of this game, and build the surrounding ecology based on the core, so that such products can finally be. " It can be seen that if you want to open a new game category, quality must be the premise, which is more important than speed and traffic. If you are not a pioneer, you will definitely win. Obviously, the quality of Operation Wilderness, which was half a year ahead in the starting stage at that time, was not enough to create a chicken-eating category in mobile games with a strong attitude.

However, the deeper reason is that the user demand of competitive war games is different from that of party games. The user demand of chicken-eating games lies in being able to quickly team up with acquaintances and friends and match strangers with the same level, while the user demand of party games is based on the content ecological interaction of UGC.

The social relationship chain based on acquaintances is the biggest advantage of Tencent’s entry into the game field, and Tencent is also good at accurately matching users with similar competitive level, especially under the premise that Tencent already has the successful case of the glory of the king, so the biggest advantage of Jedi Survival: Stimulating the Battlefield is that it can make many players match in a short time, and there are a large number of robots in the low sub-bureau, so that many players with poor skills can also get a very good game experience, which effectively guarantees the players.

However, the moat of UGC content ecology is deeper than the social relationship chain and user matching mechanism. In this respect, Tencent has not had a particularly successful product case so far, let alone being able to achieve a latecomer. Of course, when it comes to content and community genes, Tencent is also indispensable, and casual games are Tencent’s strengths. What Tencent needs to do now is to come up with an original explosion phenomenon-level new tour and be a leader rather than a follower. In the long-term competition of party games in the future, tencent games also urgently needs a successful explosive product to boost its morale, to prove that it understands and can catch young people.

Nowadays, Egg Party has evolved from a single game to a platform product. With massive user resources, high-quality maps and a large number of game anchors, Egg Party continues to generate word-of-mouth and brand influence, and fully expands the content ecology of UGC through a benign snowball-like positive cycle.

Kwan, the producer of Egg Party, told foreign media that Egg Party was originally established as a UGC project, so it is not just a party game. "Other party games usually rely on the development team to create most levels and game mechanisms. However, in Egg Party, we believe in one principle: players are the most creative people and have unlimited potential. Therefore, Egg Party attaches great importance to UGC. The core of UGC is to lower the threshold for the use of editors. "

Kwan admits that the first day of Egg Party was not popular because it takes time for players to create and share levels. "In fact, the development of Egg Party in China market is not smooth. We experienced days of low morale and confusion. However, by persisting in constantly improving the UGC experience, we have gradually won the recognition and support of the majority of players. " Kwan said, "So far, more than 10 million players have become map makers, with an average of 10 maps per person." According to the data released by Netease before the Spring Festival, there are now more than 20 million creators of Egg Party, and an average of 3.8 paradise maps are born every second.

Kwan added that "Egg Party" is not a kryptonite game. On the contrary, the commercialization of the game is mainly based on appearance. "Our goal is for all players to establish close social ties in the game, become friends and get together. Therefore, our core business philosophy is to help players be themselves. "

The first creator conference of Egg Party was held on June 17th, 2023. The producer Kwan said that the UGC map of Egg Party was added by one million every week, and the number of creators exceeded ten million.

In contrast, Yuan Meng Xing, which entered the market one and a half years late, even if it invested 1.4 billion yuan in incentive funds to provide all-round support to UGC creators, it would be difficult to cross the moat of UGC content ecology in Egg Party. For example, it is also a recently recommended map. The number of UGC maps of Egg Party is generally in the millions, and the most can even be played by millions of people. On the other hand, "Dream of the Yuan Dynasty" is on the order of 100,000, and at least only tens of thousands of people play it. The user activity of both UGC games is obvious.

The UGC content of Egg Party is too deep, and Yuan Meng Xing, as a follower, is insurmountable.

In fact, Tencent’s product style has always been better at the improvement and perfection stage from 10 to 100, rather than the initial cultivation stage between 0-1 and 1-10. Therefore, the failure of Dream Star is not due to the product strength, but the more important factor is that Tencent, which lost its first-Mover advantage, failed to lay a good foundation in the content ecology. Compared with the UGC content ecology spontaneously formed by the players in Egg Party, Dream Star can’t really build the foundation from 0-10 initial cultivation stage by throwing money alone, so it is naturally difficult to build a towering building from 10-100 on the "tofu soil".

This is the same from the Weibo war with Sina on the social media track in Tencent’s history, the UGC long video war between ByteDance and bilibili on the watermelon video, and the catching-up pace of Tencent’s video number VS Tik Tok on the short video track at present. Of course, just as Ma Huateng described the video number as "the hope of the whole goose factory", Yuan Dream Star is too late to enter the market and is a follower, so it is difficult for Yuan Dream Star to cross the community barrier of UGC content ecology of the pioneer Egg Party.

Back then, Tencent, as a follower of Sina, launched Tencent Weibo only for defense. When WeChat was born, Tencent immediately switched tracks and carried out All in, which kept the foundation of the social empire in the mobile era, and then got tickets for the mobile Internet, which was far more successful than being a social media platform.

When WeChat was born, Tencent immediately changed the track and carried out All in, which was far more successful than being a Weibo.

Today, 14 years later, the whole network is paying attention to the party game war between Tencent and Netease, two China Internet giants. Netease, a veteran game giant in China, which is often known as the "second child of the Millennium", is definitely not willing to be relegated to Tencent for a long time; Tencent, on the other hand, will never give up its position as the game and social leader when it lacks a king-level game relay that can change the industry structure for five consecutive years.

In 2024, if Dream Star wants to achieve something, I’m afraid it needs to readjust its positioning, and make differentiation according to user data and market feedback, so that there is hope of overtaking Egg Party in a corner. He Beihang, a game industry analyst who has worked in Netease and Tencent successively, wrote on his official website that the most suitable route for Yuan Meng Xing is to be different from Egg Party, and the target users are mainly young people with social needs for marriage and love. The game environment is also improved for such users, and the market that Egg Party cannot reach is "established".

Tencent loses key battle

What is the future of Yuan Meng Xing?

Tencent Tianmei Studio Group, which once came from behind in the MOBA mobile game war and made "the glory of the king", a "money printing machine" that made Tencent eat dividends for almost ten years, is undoubtedly the studio with the most abundant funds and resources in the game industry in the world. For example, today’s American studio group mobilized the elites of major studios to create "Star of Dreams", and then mobilized the group’s resources All in to fully bet on entering the party game track that is regarded as the position of guarding Tencent’s social base camp, and it is also a key battle for Tencent to compete for Z generation users.

However, Yuan Meng Xing failed to make Tencent’s dream come true in this crucial battle. Now, Tencent is facing the situation that on the one hand, Netease shook the basic social disk with Egg Party, which caused a "backyard fire", and on the other hand, it supported the creators’ high-intensity marketing investment through "money-buying ability"+joint endorsement+red envelopes "pulling people’s heads" and throwing money, but it did not achieve remarkable results, and the user retention rate was not high.

Nowadays, in this battle that Tencent attaches great importance to, it can’t "lose" or retreat. There are two main roads in front of Yuan Meng Xing: First, it is willing to accept the failure of Yuan Meng Xing, give up its determination and behavior to compete with Netease in party games, and turn to other tracks to find new opportunities; The second is to continue All in, develop a new version of Yuan Meng Xing, and wait for the right time to compete with Netease again.

In addition, Tencent can further increase the price after making a choice in "Dream Star", and then settle down again on the track of party games, support new projects as challengers, and compete with Netease again. For example, among Tencent’s four major studios, only Tianmei Studio Group will go to war at present. It is not excluded that other studios or Tianmei will continue to carry out horse racing attacks on the party game track in the future.

No matter how Tencent will respond next, it will be a key turning point in the history of China’s game industry, which also means that Tencent’s pre-emptive competition mode is not omnipotent in the past. From the "IEG self-research project springing up plan" released by Tencent at the beginning of this year to strengthen the investment in research and development resources for new opportunities, new gameplay and vertical game incubation, Tencent itself is aware of this problem and has started its own reform mechanism for change, but the effect remains to be seen.

On March 15th, after the "Time Roaming" version of Yuan Meng Xing was updated in the new season, the game realized the formal intercommunication between WeChat and QQ. This is also the first time in history that Tencent’s games directly opened the WeChat and QQ ecosystem, and Yuan Meng Xing also surpassed "Egg Party" for one day on the best-selling list. For Tencent, it has undoubtedly opened a new journey of Yuan Meng Xing. It can be seen that at present, Tencent still won’t give up "Dream Star", and it will not easily give up on the track of party games. What kind of big moves Tencent will sacrifice in the future is worthy of continued attention.

"Yuan Meng Xing" realized the official intercommunication between WeChat and QQ, which is the first time in history that Tencent games directly opened the WeChat and QQ ecosystem.

Just as Ma Huateng criticized the unsatisfactory performance of the game business at Tencent Annual Meeting in 2023, he encouraged all the staff: "Now we are as excited as chicken blood, and we are back to the process of how to step up from more than a dozen people in the game industry. Recalling the difficult process of starting a business, we will have a fighting spirit. We can’t lie on the credit book and retreat if we don’t advance."

How will Tencent IEG make a choice in the future, and can it hand over an answer sheet that will satisfy the big boss Ma Huateng?
