In July this year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Ministry of Finance and the National Development and Reform Commission jointly issued a notice on the creation of agricultural modernization demonstration zones, and organized all localities to declare the creation of demonstration zones. On the basis of local declaration, expert evaluation and social publicity, a list of agricultural modernization demonstration zones in 2021 was formed, which was recently issued in the name of three departments. The reporter interviewed the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on the establishment of the agricultural modernization demonstration zone.

Q: Building an agricultural modernization demonstration zone is a strategic plan made by the State Council, the CPC Central Committee. Could you please talk about the background and significance of the creation?

A:After building a well-off society in an all-round way, China has embarked on a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, and the focus of the work on agriculture, rural areas and farmers has historically shifted to comprehensively promoting rural revitalization. This is a great turning point in the work of agriculture, countryside and farmers, and we should adapt to this change in ideas, concepts and methods. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly stressed that without agricultural modernization, rural prosperity and prosperity, and farmers living and working in peace and contentment, national modernization is incomplete, incomplete and unstable. Promoting agricultural modernization is a long-term task and a process of continuous reform and innovation. It is necessary to build a demonstration zone for agricultural modernization, explore the promotion mechanism and effective ways, accumulate experience and find a way out.

The first is to explore the development model of agricultural modernization. China has a vast territory, and the situation varies widely from place to place, so it is impossible to promote agricultural modernization across the board and quick march. To create a demonstration area of agricultural modernization, we must cultivate a number of model areas by regions and types based on local resource endowments, industrial characteristics and economic and social development conditions, explore differentiated and characteristic development models of agricultural modernization, form a set of representative and replicable construction paths, policy frameworks and evaluation methods, and demonstrate and lead the accelerated development of agricultural and rural modernization in similar areas.

The second is to explore the support of agricultural modernization factors. Promoting agricultural modernization is inseparable from real money investment, which requires both government financial support and social capital participation. To establish a demonstration area of agricultural modernization, we must meet the requirements of the target modernization, give play to the role of financial funds, incite all kinds of social capital investment, and continuously introduce advanced factors such as people, land and money into modern agriculture to form a long-term mechanism for sustainable development.

The third is to explore an effective mechanism for promoting agricultural modernization. In the process of tackling poverty, we have explored and formed a set of effective policy systems, institutional systems and working systems, and formed extensive mobilization capabilities, which provided strong support for winning the fight against poverty. Promoting agricultural modernization is also inseparable from the extensive participation and joint efforts of all sectors of society. To create a demonstration area of agricultural modernization, we must establish an agricultural modernization work system that is promoted by the government, linked up and down, and supported by the society, focusing on key areas and key links, and constantly grasping them.

The fourth is to explore the realization path of agricultural modernization driving rural modernization. The problem of farmers in agriculture and rural areas is an inseparable whole, and agricultural modernization and rural modernization are also inseparable. To create a demonstration area of agricultural modernization, we must plan agricultural modernization and rural modernization as a whole, design and promote them as a whole, and make efforts to explore the optimization of industrial layout, infrastructure connectivity, public services and other aspects first, so as to achieve the effect of mutual promotion and effective linkage.

Q: This year, Document No.1 of the Central Committee proposed that about 500 agricultural modernization demonstration zones should be established by the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan. Excuse me, what are the considerations for the construction objectives and layout of the demonstration area?

A:In recent years, various localities have actively promoted the development of agricultural modernization, and a number of typical counties and cities with sound industrial system, perfect technology and equipment, active business entities and green and safe products have emerged, which have become the pioneering areas leading the national agricultural modernization. To implement the requirements of the central government’s deployment, it is necessary to establish agricultural modernization demonstration zones with counties as units and form a pattern of promoting agricultural modernization step by step.

In terms of the construction target, this year is the first year of establishment. The first batch will be 100, roughly 3-4 in a province, and strive to create about 500 by 2025. According to the idea of overall balance and giving consideration to all parties, we have designed basic indicators, policy indicators and competitive indicators. Among them, the basic indicators highlight the inclusiveness and ensure that there is at least one creation indicator in all localities. Policy indicators focus on ensuring the strategic orientation of national food security, adding one indicator to each of the 10 major grain-producing provinces such as Heilongjiang, Henan, Shandong and Jiangsu. Competitive indicators are selected by competition, which will be comprehensively selected nationwide and created on the basis of merit.

In the direction of creation, this year, priority will be given to counties (cities) with good basic conditions, and key support will be given to the establishment of agricultural modernization demonstration zones in the project locations such as advantageous industrial clusters, national modern agricultural industrial parks, and national rural industrial integration development demonstration parks. Starting from next year, we can gradually broaden the scope and choose counties (cities) with sufficient potential for agricultural modernization, large space, high enthusiasm of local governments and strong support, thus forming a situation of step-by-step creation and orderly construction.

In terms of construction layout, regional differences, development level and other factors should be considered as a whole, and agricultural modernization demonstration zones should be built by districts and classifications. In the northeast plain, Huang Huai Hai plain, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and other major grain producing areas, a number of demonstration areas focusing on the grain industry will be created. In the hilly and mountainous areas in the south and the areas with advantageous agricultural products, we will create a number of demonstration areas focusing on advantageous and characteristic industries. In the suburbs of large and medium-sized cities and developed coastal areas in the east, a number of demonstration areas focusing on urban agriculture and smart agriculture will be created. Create a number of demonstration areas focusing on efficient dry farming in the ecologically fragile areas such as the northwest, the areas along the Great Wall and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. In poverty-stricken areas, create a number of demonstration areas focusing on "small but refined" characteristic industries.

Q: We understand that the list of agricultural modernization demonstration zones in 2021 has just been published. Excuse me, what are the requirements for entering the demonstration area of the list, and what is the procedure for creating accreditation?

A:Judging from the work situation, all localities are very enthusiastic about declaring the establishment of agricultural modernization demonstration zones. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, and the National Development and Reform Commission insist on choosing the best among the best, highlighting key industries and key regions, and moderately tilting to the founding units that declare the grain industry and the "small but refined" characteristic industries in poverty-stricken areas. The demonstration areas entering the list generally have the following characteristics:

First, the production base is good. The agricultural production structure is optimized, and the advantages of leading industries are obvious, basically forming a production structure of overall planning of grain, farming, animal husbandry and fishery.

Second, the equipment level is high. The proportion of farmland with high standard for drought and flood protection is relatively high, the infrastructure such as farmland water conservancy, field roads and agricultural electricity consumption is relatively perfect, the mechanism of agricultural science and technology innovation and popularization and application is initially established, the level of agricultural mechanization is relatively high, and digital technology is widely used.

Third, the industrial chain is basically sound. A number of large-scale standardized agricultural product production bases have been built, with strong agricultural product processing capacity, logistics facilities taking shape, relatively complete industrial chain and high industrial concentration and integration level.

Fourth, the management system is relatively complete. The socialized service system is relatively sound, and the development quality of new business entities such as family farms and farmers’ cooperatives is relatively high, with a high level of intensification, specialization and organization, and small farmers are well connected with modern agriculture.

Fifth, the agricultural environment is friendly. The concept of green development runs through the whole process of agricultural modernization. Agricultural production is clean, the level of waste resource utilization is high, resource-saving and environment-friendly technologies are widely used, and green transformation and ecological development are basically realized.

Sixth, policy support is strong. Local governments are highly motivated and supportive, and have formulated innovative and practical policies and measures in land security, financial services, scientific and technological innovation and application, talent support, and county-level urban-rural integration.

In the accreditation procedure, we will carry out the accreditation in three steps according to the requirements of "creating before accreditation, strict evaluation and dynamic management". The first step is to select the list of agricultural modernization demonstration zones according to the procedure of "county-level government application, provincial-level department selection, provincial-level government approval and central department approval", and the current 100 counties (cities, districts) are the first list. In the second step, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Ministry of Finance and the National Development and Reform Commission shall, in accordance with the conditions for creation, organize a review and confirmation of the applicant’s creation unit every two years, and those who pass the review will be awarded the title of "National Agricultural Modernization Demonstration Zone Creation Unit". The third step, if the founding unit of the National Agricultural Modernization Demonstration Zone has achieved the standard of basically realizing agricultural modernization through hard work, it will be awarded the title of "National Agricultural Modernization Demonstration Zone" after acceptance.

Q: Agricultural modernization is rich in connotation and constantly changes with economic and social development, technological progress and productivity improvement. Excuse me, what aspects will the demonstration area focus on during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period to carry out the pilot test first?

A:Agricultural modernization has its inherent development laws and fundamental requirements. The 14th Five-Year Plan for Promoting Agricultural and Rural Modernization, just issued by the State Council, puts forward the train of thought, objectives and key tasks of agricultural modernization. At present and for a period of time to come, the demonstration area should aim at these objectives, tasks and work requirements, find a correct position, make a clear direction, focus on key points and make continuous progress.

First, strengthen the construction of facilities and equipment, and demonstrate and lead the agricultural facilities. Efforts will be made to improve the conditions of farmland facilities, strengthen the construction of high-standard farmland, and build irrigation and drainage facilities, greenhouses and other facilities to improve the utilization efficiency of water and soil resources. Promote the mechanization of the whole production process, accelerate the promotion of intelligent high-end duplex machinery, promote the integration of agricultural machinery and agronomy, facilities and equipment and breeding technology, and take the lead in the comprehensive mechanization of agriculture. Improve the cold chain logistics facilities of agricultural products, speed up the construction of facilities and equipment such as cleaning and grading, sorting and packaging, preservation and drying, and refrigerated transportation of agricultural products, and speed up the construction of a cold chain logistics network for storage and preservation that connects all aspects of production, processing and circulation.

The second is to promote the development of industrial agglomeration and demonstrate and lead agricultural parks. Optimize industrial layout, rationally plan production, processing, logistics, research and development and other functional sectors, and build a development pattern of "one county, one industry, one special park and multiple parks in groups". Innovate the operation mode, guide capital, talents, science and technology, information, land and other factors to gather in the park, and attract leading enterprises and supporting enterprises to concentrate in the park, forming a development model of "leading enterprises driving, supporting enterprises driving, industrial clusters linkage, and service departments promoting". Improve supporting services, focus on building public service platforms such as technology research and development, information sharing, inspection and testing, logistics and distribution, reduce enterprise costs and cultivate a good business environment.

The third is to build an industrial chain and demonstrate and lead agricultural integration. Cultivate multi-integration subjects, develop and expand family farms and farmers’ cooperatives, and support agricultural industrialization consortia led by leading enterprises, followed by family farms and farmers’ cooperatives, and widely participated by small farmers. Develop multi-type integration formats, develop primary processing, intensive processing and comprehensive utilization of by-products of agricultural products, promote the deep integration of agriculture with pastoral scenery, local culture, health care experience and sightseeing, and cultivate new industries and formats in rural areas. Innovate the multi-mode interest integration mechanism, guide the new agricultural business entities to establish a close interest linkage mechanism with small farmers, and promote the modes of "order acquisition+dividend", "farmers’ shareholding+guaranteed income+dividend by share" so that farmers can share more value-added benefits of the secondary and tertiary industries.

The fourth is to develop eco-circular agriculture and demonstrate and lead the greening of agriculture. Highlight environmental friendliness, strengthen the control of agricultural non-point source pollution, and innovate and demonstrate in the scientific use of agricultural inputs, promote the reduction and efficiency of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and recycle agricultural wastes. Highlight ecological protection, strengthen agricultural ecological protection and restoration, build pastoral ecology, promote agricultural emission reduction and carbon sequestration, cultivate green and low-carbon agricultural industrial chain and enhance the value of agricultural ecological products. Highlight quality and safety, promote variety cultivation, quality improvement, brand building and standardized production, strengthen quality and safety supervision of agricultural products, and increase the supply of green and high-quality agricultural products.

The fifth is to accelerate the development of smart agriculture and demonstrate and lead agricultural digitalization. Strengthen the construction of information facilities, rationally deploy 5G and mobile Internet, and promote the intelligent transformation of agricultural water conservancy, logistics, processing and other facilities. Innovatively apply digital technology to promote the digital construction of the whole industrial chain such as agricultural production, processing, transportation, warehousing and trading. Set up digital application scenarios, explore the construction of intelligent animal husbandry, intelligent fishery, digital pastoral, etc., and promote the integration of agricultural production and management and informationization.

Q: It is necessary to gather resources and strength to create a demonstration area of agricultural modernization. Excuse me, what specific support measures will the relevant state departments take in the next step?

A:Compared with the rapid industrialization, informationization and urbanization, China’s agricultural and rural modernization has obviously failed to keep up, and the problem of "one leg is long and the other leg is short" is more prominent. In order to basically realize the "synchronization of the four modernizations" in three five years, agricultural modernization must catch up and speed up the short-board and short-leg, which requires strengthening the guarantee of creating factors in agricultural modernization demonstration zones.

First, make good use of existing capital projects. Coordinate and integrate the national modern agricultural industrial park, industrial clusters with advantages and characteristics, and the project funds for strengthening the town with agricultural industry, and focus on supporting the construction of demonstration areas. Under the premise of controllable risks, the qualified public welfare construction projects in the demonstration area will be included in the scope of local government bond support, and actively support all localities to use the land transfer income or income for the construction of the demonstration area.

The second is to guide financial institutions to support. Actively coordinate commercial banks, policy banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions, carry out financial docking demonstration zone activities, promote the tilt of credit funds and specialty agricultural products insurance to the demonstration zone, and increase medium and long-term credit support for investment and financing of agricultural and rural infrastructure in the demonstration zone.

The third is to encourage social capital investment. Give full play to the role of government investment funds, guide incubation, growth and innovative social capital investment projects, and support the construction of demonstration areas. Innovative use of PPP, industrial funds and other market-oriented means to attract social capital to build storage cold chain logistics, livestock manure resource utilization and other facilities. Encourage leading enterprises in agricultural industrialization to carry out docking and investment with demonstration areas.

The fourth is to strengthen technical support. Establish a technical cooperation mechanism between scientific research institutions and demonstration areas, set up expert technical teams, and carry out technical training to help demonstration areas solve specific difficulties in building industrial chains. Guide agricultural high-tech enterprises and scientific and technological innovation alliances to settle in demonstration areas, and promote the demonstration and application of new varieties, technologies and equipment.

Q: This year, the establishment of the agricultural modernization demonstration zone started. Excuse me, how to strengthen overall planning and coordination to ensure that all the work of creating agricultural modernization demonstration zones is carried out in detail?

A:The construction of agricultural modernization demonstration zone is a long-term systematic project, and it is also a process of continuous reform and innovation. We must improve the working mechanism, refine the practical promotion measures, and promote the construction of demonstration areas to achieve practical results.

The first is to grasp organizational leadership. Strengthen departmental communication and coordination, actively formulate support policies, and increase guidance services. Promote provincial departments to establish follow-up guidance, policy support, monitoring and evaluation mechanisms. Implement the main responsibilities of counties and cities, formulate a list of creation work, focus on key points, gather strength, and pragmatically and effectively promote the creation of demonstration areas.

The second is to create a design. Guide all localities to base themselves on the local development reality, clearly put forward the ideas, functional orientation and development goals of the demonstration area, systematically put forward specific tasks to promote agricultural modernization, plan a number of key construction projects in the demonstration area in depth, and scientifically formulate the "timetable" and "road map" for construction.

The third is to monitor and evaluate. At present, relevant departments are studying and formulating opinions on monitoring and evaluation of agricultural modernization demonstration zones, considering carrying out monitoring and evaluation of demonstration zone construction every year, regularly tracking the progress of dispatching demonstration zones, summarizing and analyzing the construction progress, work effectiveness and existing problems in time, and playing the role of "baton" in monitoring and evaluation.

The fourth is to grasp demonstration and promotion. Focusing on the development of grain industry, dominant and characteristic industries, urban agriculture, smart agriculture and high-efficiency dry farming, we will timely summarize and explore a number of typical cases with regional characteristics and clear directions, comprehensively use traditional media and new media, publicize and promote good practices and experiences in demonstration areas, and create a good social atmosphere.

Once an entrepreneur decides to start his own business, no matter what industry he is engaged in, he must have certain business knowledge and certain management methods in addition to the necessary venture capital, in order to stand out from the cruel business competition and master more initiative in the ever-changing business society. Learning and flexibly using the following 16 aspects of knowledge or skills will make your own entrepreneurial road go further, smoother and easier.

Professional industry skills

This is the basis of starting a business (whether you have been engaged in this industry before or not). If you know nothing about the industry you want to start a business, I advise you to wait for a while and carefully observe and understand it in this field before making a decision. No matter which industry you want to start a business in, the first thing you need is to have a certain understanding of this industry (or be very familiar with it), and to have a certain understanding of the current situation and future development trend of the industry. This is the truth of doing business if you are not familiar with it. If you have certain theoretical knowledge, practical experience, operational skills and contacts in this industry that is about to start a business, you can make a good pre-business plan. Of course, the following knowledge is also very important in starting a business. It is recommended to dabble in it and use it more.

Equity knowledge

Many enterprises were full of enthusiasm at the beginning of their establishment, and everyone was full of enthusiasm. When they encountered any difficulties, everyone could work together to solve them together, and finally let the enterprises go through the most dangerous period of the previous two or three years. In order to expand their operations, the company needs to carry out market financing or share reorganization (or it may be that the enterprise needs financing or other circumstances in case of business crisis). At this time, there may be different ideas and disputes among shareholders. At this time, we discovered that when we started a joint venture, we came together only by the friendship between friends and friends and the beautiful yearning for starting a business. At that time, we didn’t mention (or didn’t expect) to sign a partnership agreement and formulate the relevant shareholder advance and retreat mechanism out of consideration of face and kindness. Even the articles of association were only drafted by the agency that assisted the company to register according to the legal norms, so there was not much practical binding effect without considering the actual situation. It is conceivable that this kind of enterprise will eventually have a serious situation. Therefore, at the beginning of starting a business, entrepreneurs must sign a partnership agreement, define the form of shareholders’ participation, the amount of capital contribution, the time limit for funds to be put in place, the proportion of shares, formulate the financial use and supervision mechanism, the shareholder advance and retreat mechanism, the risk control mechanism, and formulate the articles of association according to the actual situation and needs of the company. Familiarity with and application of equity knowledge will make your enterprise bigger and stronger.

organizational structure

The organizational structure is the overall structure of an enterprise, including the shareholders’ meeting, the board of directors, the board of supervisors, the management and the departments, etc. The organizational structure of each enterprise is tailored according to its own needs. It will make the operation of the enterprise more efficient for entrepreneurs to understand and set up the enterprise structure according to the actual needs of the enterprise in the early stage of starting a business.

Strategic Planning

Entrepreneurs should have a clear entrepreneurial direction, always know what they are doing and what they want to do, and formulate a strategic plan for enterprise development for at least one to three years or five years, and formulate short-term and medium-term work objectives and detailed implementation plans according to the enterprise development plan. If an enterprise does not have a practical long-term strategic plan, short-term action goals and implementation plans, it will make enterprise managers run around like headless flies, and the entrepreneurial era of crossing the river by feeling the stones with only a courage and enthusiasm has long since ended. Therefore, in order to succeed in entrepreneurship, enterprises must have clear development plans, goals and implementation rules.

Accounting knowledge

Financial management is an important part of enterprise operation and management, which has certain professionalism. However, as an entrepreneur, co-founder and the highest decision-making core of an enterprise, although you don’t need to master too much professional accounting knowledge, you still need to understand some basic accounting knowledge (such as cash flow statement, income statement, balance sheet and other financial statements). Knowing the actual financial situation of an enterprise at any time can make you more flexible and active in daily decision-making and find professionals who can better meet the needs of the enterprise to serve the enterprise.

Tax knowledge

For enterprises and entrepreneurs (especially entrepreneurs of small and micro enterprises), it is very necessary to know the relevant tax knowledge that is of interest to enterprises. Don’t think that this is just a matter for financial personnel. For hired professional staff, they will only file tax returns according to the process, but not for enterprise decision makers. He can save more funds and ensure the safety of enterprise operation. If the national tax policy can be flexibly grasped and rationally applied, the enterprise can go further and operate more reasonably and legally.

Marketing knowledge

Marketing is one of the skills that entrepreneurs must master. Enterprise product marketing determines the survival time and anti-risk ability of enterprises, and it is also the basis for enterprises to develop. Entrepreneurs must master relevant marketing knowledge and skills, set up marketing teams and train marketing personnel according to the actual situation and development plan of enterprises, fully analyze the market, be familiar with the market, know the customer’s needs, and formulate external marketing plans that highlight product characteristics and meet the company’s interests, market environment and customer’s needs. Formulate the operating norms and learning materials for internal marketers matching the marketing plan, and formulate relevant sales system, commission system, incentive measures, etc.

Logistics knowledge

Modern enterprises will inevitably face a large number of foreign logistics and related goods procurement. The importance of enterprise procurement and logistics management to start-ups is self-evident. Therefore, it is particularly important for entrepreneurs to master the necessary logistics knowledge and procurement knowledge. In the early stage of starting a business, funds are often not abundant, so reasonable procurement and on-demand allocation can alleviate the financial pressure. If you have a certain understanding of logistics enterprises, logistics links, logistics materials and logistics prices, you can make product prices, product packaging, customer commitments and after-sales services.

Computer and network knowledge

Modern enterprise management has been very different from traditional enterprise management. If entrepreneurs or business operators don’t know how to use basic computer and network tools, it is basically impossible to succeed in starting a business (or get twice the result with half the effort), so entrepreneurs must at least master simple computer typing (preferably table making and TTP making), surfing the Internet, sending and receiving emails, QQ, QQ group, WeChat group, Weibo, personal e-banking, WeChat group.

administration management

At the beginning of the business, there are generally not many employees in the company, so the boss (actual controller) is basically in charge of the company’s administrative personnel, or all the so-called offices (relatives or cronies) that have just been established are responsible. This management method is fatal to the enterprise. In the end, if the enterprise can still live, it will basically become a family-owned enterprise. Employees live in the boss’s mood every day, and everyone revolves around the boss. There is no or dare to have independent thinking, and few people are ghosts. Therefore, entrepreneurs must understand the importance of administrative management. No matter how many employees there are, companies must formulate various rules and regulations from the beginning, such as employee discipline, post system, workflow, operational norms, employee incentive system, etc., and strengthen learning and strict implementation, put an end to cronyism and family management, and advocate standardized and institutionalized enterprise construction.

human resources

If an enterprise wants to create a world in competition, talents play a decisive role. How to attract talents, retain talents and make good use of talents is a problem that every entrepreneur and enterprise manager must attach great importance to and think deeply. Many entrepreneurs have been competing with employees since the establishment of the enterprise, complaining that employees are not competent and have poor quality, complaining that talents are difficult to recruit, complaining that employees’ wages are too high to spend, and so on. As a result, there are many ways to default on wages or dismiss employees in various ways and find ways to let employees leave by themselves. As a result, labor relations are tense, employees have no enthusiasm and no sense of belonging, and bosses are busy recruiting and replacing people in batches in complaints, and there are many people who haven’t woken up until the company closes. If an enterprise wants to recruit and retain truly suitable talents, it should strive to create a relaxed, harmonious and harmonious working environment for its employees, formulate a sticky and passionate salary system, performance system, reward mechanism, improve employee welfare and logistics guarantee mechanism, apply for social security and sign a formal employment contract for employees who meet the requirements, etc. The company will manage people with the system, care for them, and retain employees with the working environment and salary and benefits, and employees will naturally repay the enterprise with their work ability and efficiency.

Emotional quotient management

Many times, the entrepreneur’s personal emotional intelligence management, human behavior and emotional control ability determine the ultimate success or failure of the enterprise. Entrepreneurs who are low-key, modest, capable of being a person, have high emotional intelligence, know how to respect others and understand mutual benefit are often popular, cohesive and persuasive, and are like a duck to water in business operations. Entrepreneurs should strengthen the cultivation of personal emotional intelligence and exercise their self-emotional control, understand that harmony makes money, and don’t act on impulse.

honesty and trustworthiness

Honesty and trustworthiness is the basic principle of dealing with people, and it is also the essential factor for entrepreneurs to succeed in starting a business. Only honest and trustworthy people can make real friends. Without friends in business, friends have connections. Connections are the pulse of money, business opportunities and the basis of development and cooperation. Only by adhering to the principle of being honest and trustworthy can we go further. Those century-old shops, famous brands and business giants have all come out in this way.

Focus. Focus.

There are many entrepreneurs who can persist in an industry or enterprise for three years, but few can persist for five, ten or even fifteen years. Entrepreneurs should avoid looking at other mountains while starting a business, trusting or admiring other people’s projects to make more money, and constantly introducing or changing projects will make their business a mess and ruin their original career. For beginners, it is more important to do, love and specialize in one line. Only by concentrating and persisting in doing one thing well can we make some achievements in the field of entrepreneurship we choose.

Time concept

Entrepreneurs should have a strong sense of time, all business operations should be carried out according to the planning and time frame, and they should respect both their own time and others’ time in business contacts. Don’t easily promise time limits for things that are uncertain, but do what they say on time. If they can’t do it, they should communicate with others in advance and provide remedial measures or compensation schemes. Only by being punctual and keeping promises can they get higher benefits and win respect.

social etiquette

For entrepreneurs, it is essential and frequent to participate in various social activities. Accumulating more resources and contacts through social activities will promote personal horizons and increase business opportunities. Before participating in various social activities, you should have a certain understanding and familiarity with some basic social etiquette in the corresponding social scenes (telephone communication, meeting, dining, meeting, gathering, negotiation, activities, etc.). For example, it is best to say your full name when introducing yourself, stand up or smile and nod to others when introducing yourself, don’t cross your legs when sitting, and ask guests to order first when eating. If the guests are not polite, try to order according to everyone’s regional taste (pay the bill in advance as low as possible before the end), avoid packing after meals (except for family dinners), treat people politely and equally regardless of their status, avoid taking photos casually and sending WeChat friends when socializing or dining, don’t pry into other people’s privacy, don’t spread negative news, don’t gossip, don’t drink too much, keep everything in mind when you see through some things, and don’t whisper to others at will to avoid misunderstanding. Don’t care too much about trifles or gossips, learn to be patient and tolerant, be able to bear losses, and don’t haggle over trifles to gain respect and respect from others.

Car See Wan Yixun-The domestic large-scale SUV market occupied by M9 and Ideal L9 has now joined the new showstopper. Deep Blue Auto launched a new flagship SUV-Deep Blue S09. The car is expected to be launched in the first half of 2025, with a starting price of about 350,000 yuan. It is based on the brand-new special electric vehicle platform of Chang ‘an, featuring the extended-range hybrid system and Huawei Gankun ADS3.0 intelligent driving system, and has entered the market competition. At the beginning of the appearance of the new car, it even triggered a craze because the ideal party was suspected of plagiarism.

As a large SUV that does not emphasize sports, this deep blue began to focus on business and family camps.

The design of Deep Blue S09 is a long, narrow, simple and large SUV style, which is different from the sports attributes of the previous Deep Blue car. The new car is aimed at the business and home markets. In the front face, the enclosed front grille is rounded, and the upper penetrating light strips are connected with the LED headlight groups on both sides. This layout is similar to the design of some existing models while ensuring a certain degree of recognition, but the internal structural design of the light group and the connection with the surrounding lines have their own characteristics, such as the arrangement of light-emitting units inside the light group and the details of the transition with the edge lines of the front grille. The lower enclosure adopts segmented design and presents N-shaped shape, which increases the sense of layering and movement in vision to a certain extent.

The side of the car body presents a relatively square box outline, which makes the interior space of the car better guaranteed in theory. The ultra-high ground clearance gives the vehicle a certain passability advantage. Its Dover aluminum alloy wheels add some business flavor to the car body, but this style is also common in medium and large SUVs of the same type.

The body size of Deep Blue S09 reaches 5205mm long, 1996mm wide, 1800mm high, and the wheelbase is 3105mm, which creates a spacious space environment for the car. The six-seat layout has certain adaptability for family multi-person travel and business reception scenes. However, when large-size car bodies are driving in cities, especially in narrow streets and areas with tight parking spaces, they will face the problems of inconvenient traffic and difficult parking. Moreover, the actual use efficiency of the interior space, such as the flexibility of seats, the convenience of storage space and the comfort of each seat, needs to be felt and judged by consumers in actual experience, and the absolute advantage of its spatial layout cannot be judged only from the size data.

The Deep Blue Super Extended Range 2.0 technology carried by Deep Blue S09 is equipped with the new Blue Whale HE1.5T ultra-high pressure direct injection hybrid engine, with the maximum power of 110kW. The dual-motor four-wheel drive system makes the total motor power reach 362kW, and the pure battery life is available in 170km and 180km versions. It shows certain competitiveness in power data, and the pure battery life can meet daily short-distance travel when commuting in cities, reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. When driving long distances, the extended range system can alleviate endurance anxiety. However, in the field of hybrid technology, compared with some mature brands, more practical driving tests and market feedback are needed to verify the ride comfort, energy consumption optimization under different working conditions and the reliability of long-term use. For example, noise control after engine intervention at high speed, smoothness of power connection and fluctuation of fuel consumption under comprehensive road conditions are all important factors to measure the quality of its power system.

In terms of intelligent configuration, Deep Blue S09 is equipped with a multi-sensor system composed of laser radar, millimeter wave radar, panoramic camera and ultrasonic radar, which can theoretically provide multi-directional guarantee for driving safety. If Huawei Gankun intelligent driving system can be equipped, it will have high intelligent driving potential. For example, the high-speed automatic driving assistance function can reduce the fatigue of long-distance driving, and the urban intelligent driving function can help to cope with complex road conditions, but the intelligent driving system has not yet been determined.

Deep Blue S09 is priced at 350,000 yuan, facing the competition in the high-end new energy SUV market. In Changan Deep Blue brand, Deep Blue S07 has a certain market sales base, which provides some brand and market experience support for Deep Blue S09. Deep Blue S09 is the main price advantage in the competition with the M9 and ideal L9 models, but after bidding farewell to the sports camp, it seems that Deep Blue S09 has no unique and special brand imprint, and the models lack bright spots and differentiation. Ask the world to focus on the cockpit and intelligent driving, and ideally focus on the back row and family. What kind of housekeeping skills does S09 have? More car news needs to be released. If Deep Blue S09 wants to break through, it must accurately tap the differentiated selling points of its own products, such as in-depth development and optimization of intelligent driving function, balanced innovation of power system and energy consumption management, flexibility and comfort improvement of interior space, and at the same time, strengthen brand promotion and customer service system construction, and enhance consumers’ sense of identity and belonging to Deep Blue brand, so as to gain a place in the highly competitive high-end new energy SUV market.

　　The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made a strategic plan for the development of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era from the overall height and long-term perspective of the development of the cause of the party and the country, demanding that the first century-long struggle goal be achieved by building a well-off society in an all-round way, and that a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way be started to March towards the second century-long struggle goal. The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is a political declaration and program of action for our party to enter a new era, start a new journey and continue to write a new chapter, which points out the way forward for the further development of the cause of the party and the country. Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, which is a new historical orientation of our country. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, we should conscientiously implement it with practical actions and constantly push forward the great cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.

　　First, work hard and work hard to build a well-off society in an all-round way.

　　Building a well-off society in an all-round way is an important milestone in the process of socialist modernization in China. At the beginning of reform and opening-up, Comrade Deng Xiaoping put forward the strategic idea of building a well-off society. According to this idea, our party made strategic arrangements for China’s socialist modernization and put forward the strategic goal of "three steps". Among them, the two strategic goals of solving the problem of people’s food and clothing and achieving a well-off life in general have been successfully achieved in the late 1980s and the end of the last century respectively. The 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed that a well-off society with a higher level should be built in an all-round way in the first two decades of this century, and the 17th and 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward a series of new requirements for the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way.

　　Significant progress has been made in building a well-off society in an all-round way. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, we have actively promoted socialist economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction and ecological civilization construction, and made new significant progress in building a well-off society in an all-round way. With great political courage and strong responsibility, the CPC Central Committee has put forward a series of new ideas, new ideas and new strategies, promulgated a series of major principles and policies, launched a series of major measures, promoted a series of major tasks, solved many long-term unsolved problems, and accomplished many major events that we wanted to do in the past. On the basis of the great achievements made in China’s development since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, it has promoted historic changes in the cause of the party and the state, and the country’s economic strength, scientific and technological strength, national defense strength, and integration.

　　From the perspective of economic and social development: First, the economy is developing steadily and healthily. With the increasing base, 2013— In 2016, the GDP grew at an average annual rate of 7.2%, contributing more than 30% to the world economic growth. At present, the economic development is stable and improving. In 2017, China’s total economic output will reach 80 trillion yuan, accounting for 12 trillion US dollars, ranking second in the world. Second, the economic structure has been continuously optimized. 2013— In 2016, the proportion of service industry increased from 46.7% to 51.6%, the contribution rate of consumption to economic growth increased from 47% to 64.6%, the added value of high-tech industries increased from 9.9% to 12.4%, and the urbanization rate of permanent residents increased from 53.7% to 57.4%. The Belt and Road Initiative, the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt have achieved remarkable results. xiong’an new area’s planning and construction have been solidly promoted, and the construction of an innovative country has achieved fruitful results. Third, a major breakthrough has been made in comprehensively deepening reform. Over the past five years, more than 1,500 reform initiatives have been launched, including reforms in finance and taxation, finance, state-owned enterprises and the "streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services", with unprecedented strength, which has enhanced the impetus for economic and social development. Fourth, the people’s sense of gain has been significantly enhanced. 2013— In 2016, the number of new jobs in cities and towns remained at more than 13 million per year, and the average annual real income of the national residents increased by 7.4%, exceeding the economic growth rate.The number of poor people in rural areas decreased from 82.49 million to 43.35 million, and the incidence of poverty decreased from 8.5% to 4.5%. The average life expectancy increased from 74.83 years in 2010 to 76.5 years in 2016. Fifth, the construction of ecological civilization has achieved remarkable results. The concept of green development was deeply rooted in people’s hearts, and the system of ecological civilization system was accelerated. The action plan for the prevention and control of air, water and soil pollution was formulated and thoroughly implemented. The average concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in 74 key cities decreased from 72 μ g/m3 in 2013 to 50 μ g/m3 in 2016, with a cumulative decrease of 30.6%. Continue to promote energy conservation and emission reduction, 2013— In 2016, the energy consumption per unit of GDP decreased by 17.9%. Sixth, opening up to the outside world has been deepening. The new system of open economy has been gradually improved. In 2016, the total import and export value of goods trade reached 3.68 trillion US dollars, foreign capital utilization reached 126 billion US dollars, foreign direct investment reached 170.1 billion US dollars, and 122 million people traveled abroad. At the end of the year, foreign exchange reserves reached 3,010.5 billion US dollars, ranking among the top in the world. At the same time, great strides have been made in the construction of democracy and the rule of law, great progress has been made in ideological and cultural construction, new progress has been made in the work of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, the all-round diplomatic layout has been carried out in depth, and the party has been strictly managed in an all-round way. These historic achievements and changes mark that China’s development has reached a new historical starting point and laid a decisive foundation for building a well-off society in an all-round way as scheduled.

　　Shortcomings and weaknesses in building a well-off society in an all-round way. The main reasons are that some outstanding problems of insufficient unbalanced development have not been solved, the quality and efficiency of development are not high, the innovation ability is not strong enough, the level of real economy needs to be improved, and financial risks have accumulated; There are still many shortcomings in the field of people’s livelihood. At present, there are still more than 40 million rural poor people, and the task of getting rid of poverty is arduous. The gap between urban and rural regional development and income distribution is still large, and the people face many problems in employment, education, medical care, housing and old-age care. Ecological environmental protection has a long way to go. It takes long-term hard work to control high-consumption and high-pollution industries and eliminate excess and backward production capacity. There are still many debts in ecological restoration. Heavy polluted weather occurs from time to time in autumn and winter in the north, which is still far from the people’s expectations for a beautiful ecological environment. The level of social civilization needs to be improved, social contradictions and problems are intertwined, the task of comprehensively governing the country according to law is still arduous, and the national governance system and governance capacity need to be strengthened. We must adhere to the problem orientation, focus on solving the outstanding contradictions and problems according to the requirements of building a well-off society in an all-round way.

　　Ensure that the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way is achieved as scheduled. From now until 2020, it is the decisive period for building a well-off society in an all-round way, and the task is arduous and arduous. In accordance with the requirements for building a well-off society in an all-round way put forward by the 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we should adhere to the development concept of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing, closely follow the major contradictions and changes in our society, focus on key points, make up for shortcomings, strengths and weaknesses, and take more effective measures to win a great victory in building a well-off society in an all-round way. First, we should promote economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction and ecological civilization construction as a whole. Unify the "five in one" construction with the process of building a well-off society in an all-round way, and promote the mutual promotion and complement each other. Second, we should implement the strategies of rejuvenating the country through science and education, strengthening the country through talents, innovation-driven development, rural revitalization, regional coordinated development, sustainable development and integration of defense and civilian technologies development to provide important strategic support for building a well-off society in an all-round way. Third, we must promote sustained and healthy economic development. Adhere to the general tone of striving for progress while maintaining stability, deepen structural reform on the supply side, accelerate the transformation of development mode, optimize economic structure, and transform growth momentum, and continuously enhance the endogenous motivation of economic development. We will implement a proactive fiscal policy and a prudent monetary policy, make timely and moderate pre-adjustments and fine-adjustments, and keep the economy running in a reasonable range. Fourth, we must resolutely fight hard to prevent and resolve major risks. Attach great importance to potential risks in the fields of finance, local debt, information security and social stability, and enhance the sense of hardship and bottom line thinking.Actively take effective measures to effectively curb incremental risks, orderly resolve stock risks, and resolutely hold the bottom line of no systematic risks. Fifth, we must resolutely win the battle against poverty. Adhere to precise poverty alleviation and precise poverty alleviation, continue to concentrate on increasing investment, overcome difficulties, and have the courage to bite hard bones to ensure that by 2020, the rural poor will be lifted out of poverty under the current standards, and all poverty-stricken counties will be stripped of their hats to solve regional overall poverty and make up for the biggest shortcoming of building a well-off society in an all-round way. Sixth, we must resolutely fight the battle against pollution. Adhere to Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, promote green development, strengthen energy conservation and emission reduction, continue to implement the action plan for the prevention and control of air, water and soil pollution, focus on solving outstanding environmental problems, strengthen the protection and restoration of important ecosystems, reform the ecological environment supervision mechanism, and promote the formation of a new pattern of harmonious development and modernization between man and nature.

　　He who travels a hundred miles is half ninety. Building a well-off society in an all-round way is a solemn commitment made by our party to the people and history. We should complete all tasks with the spirit of final sprint and courage to take responsibility, so that building a well-off society in an all-round way can be recognized by the people and stand the test of history.

　　Second, Do not forget your initiative mind, keep in mind the mission and describe the grand blueprint for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way

　　The five years from the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is the historical intersection of the goal of "two hundred years". Based on a comprehensive analysis of the international and domestic situation and China’s development conditions, on the basis of in-depth study and repeated argumentation, the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made it clear that in the 30 years from 2020 to the middle of this century, the comprehensive construction of a socialist modern country will be arranged in two stages, with each stage being 15 years.

The Chinese nation will stand among the nations of the world with a more high-spirited attitude and realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　3. Perseverance and perseverance, and strive to advance the great cause of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.

　　It is a strategic arrangement to build a socialist modern country in an all-round way from building a well-off society in an all-round way to basically realizing modernization, and then to building a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modern power in an all-round way. The blueprint is grand and the goal is ambitious. One point for deployment and nine points for implementation. To turn blueprints and goals into reality, we must follow the decision-making arrangements of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, grasp the iron and mark the stone, and do a good job of implementation with the spirit of nailing.

　　First, we should study, understand and implement Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era, and better lead the development of the cause of the Party and the people. Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era is the inheritance and development of Marxism–Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, Theory of Three Represents and Scientific Outlook on Development, the latest achievement of Marxism in China, the crystallization of the practical experience and collective wisdom of the Party and the people, an important part of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s theoretical system, and an action guide for the whole party and people to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, which must be adhered to and continuously developed for a long time. It is necessary to carry out the education on the theme of "Do not forget your initiative mind, Remember Mission" in the whole party, enhance the consciousness and firmness of study and implementation, deeply understand and grasp the scientific system, spiritual essence, rich connotation and practical requirements of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era, implement Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era in the whole process of socialist modernization and embody it in all aspects of party building, better coordinate and promote the overall layout of "five in one" and the strategic layout of "four comprehensiveness".

　　Second, we must closely follow the changes in the main contradictions in our society and do a good job in developing this party’s top priority in governing and rejuvenating the country. In the past 40 years of reform and opening up, China’s economy has developed rapidly, and its social production capacity has entered the forefront of the world in many aspects. The output of more than 220 industrial and agricultural products ranks first in the world. At present, the more prominent problem is insufficient development imbalance. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made a major judgment, pointing out that the main contradiction in our society has been transformed into the contradiction between the people’s growing needs for a better life and the unbalanced development. At the same time, the basic national conditions that China is still in the primary stage of socialism for a long time have not changed, and China’s international status as the largest developing country in the world has not changed. The change of the principal contradiction in our society is a historic change that concerns the overall situation and puts forward many new requirements for the work of the party and the state. We should take economic construction as the center, adhere to the general tone of striving for progress while maintaining stability, implement new development concepts, build a modern economic system, put quality first and benefit first, take supply-side structural reform as the main line, make efforts to accelerate the construction of an industrial system with coordinated development of real economy, scientific and technological innovation, modern finance and human resources, make efforts to build an economic system with effective market mechanism, dynamic micro-subjects and moderate macro-control, and continuously enhance China’s economic innovation and competitiveness. It is necessary to deepen the supply-side structural reform, accelerate the construction of an innovative country, implement the rural revitalization strategy, promote coordinated regional development, and promote the formation of a new pattern of all-round opening up. Insist on deepening reform in an all-round way and speed up the improvement of the socialist market economic system.Promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. Adhere to the people-centered development thought, effectively protect and improve people’s livelihood, and constantly promote the all-round development of people and the common prosperity of all people. Adhere to the principle of giving priority to conservation, giving priority to protection and giving priority to natural restoration, and form a spatial pattern, industrial structure, production mode and lifestyle of saving resources and protecting the environment. We should be good at planning development from the changed main social contradictions in our country, organically unify the problems of unbalanced development and insufficient development, constantly improve the level of social productive forces, better meet the growing needs of the people in many aspects, and better promote the all-round development of people and social progress.

　　Third, we must earnestly strengthen party leadership and party building to provide a fundamental guarantee for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. The Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership is the most essential feature of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and the greatest advantage of the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system. Party, government, military and civilian studies, east, west, north and south, the party is the leader of everything. Carry out great struggles, build great projects, advance great undertakings and realize great dreams, among which the new great project of party building plays a decisive role. We must strengthen our political awareness, overall situation awareness, core awareness and conformity awareness, strengthen our road confidence, theoretical confidence, institutional confidence and cultural confidence, resolutely safeguard the authority of the CPC Central Committee and centralize and unify leadership, implement the "Four Consciousnesses" in our posts and actions, carry out the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee to the letter, and always maintain a high degree of ideological and political consistency with the CPC Central Committee with the supreme leader as the core, so as to ensure that socialist modernization is progressing in the right direction. We will earnestly strengthen the building of the Party’s long-term ruling ability, advancement and purity, comprehensively promote the Party’s political construction, ideological construction, organizational construction, work style construction and discipline construction, run through the system construction, deepen the anti-corruption struggle, promote the comprehensive and strict management of the Party, continuously improve the Party’s ability and determination to take the direction, seek the overall situation, formulate policies and promote reform, and continuously improve its ability to lead economic and social development.

　　The blueprint has been drawn and the prospect is very bright. We should closely unite around the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, hold high the great banner of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, emancipate our minds, carry out reform and innovation, forge ahead with determination, work hard, fully implement the Party’s basic theory, line and general plan, and make unremitting efforts to win the victory in building a well-off society in an all-round way, win the great victory of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and realize the people’s yearning for a better life.

The battle between the Russian and Ukrainian armies in Kursk may usher in a decisive battle for life and death.

According to CCTV news reports, on October 25, local time, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the Ukrainian army surrounded by Russian troops in Kursk region had lost its command, and many Ukrainian soldiers did not even know that they were surrounded by Russian troops. The day before, Putin said that Russian troops were advancing in all areas of the contact line. About 2000 Ukrainian soldiers were surrounded in Kursk region.

Since August 6, when Ukrainian troops attacked thousands of square kilometers of Russian-controlled land, Russian and Ukrainian armies have been "fighting" in this area for more than two months. What is the current situation? If foreign troops really participate in the war, what impact will it have on the Kursk war situation?

On October 28, 2024, local time, a Russian soldier fired a howitzer at a Ukrainian position in the Russian-Ukrainian border area in Kursk, Russia. This article is a picture of vision china.

What’s the situation now?

On August 6th, Ukraine launched a well-planned cross-border operation in Kursk, Russia. Before this operation, the Ukrainian army relied on UAV reconnaissance and NATO intelligence support to conduct detailed reconnaissance in Kursk region, and made relatively full preparations for military deployment, assembling nearly nine brigades (including advance troops, main forces and reserve forces) and a certain number of mercenaries. After the operation began, first of all, drones and long-range missiles were launched against important institutions such as Russian air bases and command posts in the direction of Kursk State, and large-scale shelling was carried out. Ukrainian advance troops and mercenaries crossed the border and invaded Suja and Kolenevo regions in Kursk State, Russia. This is the first time since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict that Ukrainian regular troops have crossed the border to attack Russian mainland on a large scale.

At first, there were at least nine Ukrainian brigades involved in the cross-border attack in Kursk, Russia, including the 1st Brigade of the Attack Guard, 22nd Mechanical Brigade, 61st Mechanical Brigade, 80th Air Sudden Brigade, 82nd Air Sudden Brigade, 92nd Assault Brigade, 95th Air Sudden Brigade, 115th Mechanical Brigade and 129th National Brigade (note: each brigade participating in the war was not fully staffed, and many brigades only deployed some troops to participate in the battle in Kursk), among which the first brigade.

On October 18th, 2024, in Kursk, Russia, an engineer from the joint demining team of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations carried out explosive ordnance disposal operations in Belovski.

Due to the insufficient preparation of the Russian army, the troops stationed in Kursk are mainly border guards, and it is difficult for the border guards lacking heavy weapons to resist the heavy troops of the Ukrainian army. In less than 10 days, the Ukrainian army took control of 82 settlements in Kursk, covering an area of 1,150 square kilometers and a depth of 35 kilometers. According to Ukrainian officials, the Ukrainian army finally controlled about 1,200 square kilometers of land and 100 settlements in the state. On the one hand, the Russian army, caught off guard, fought and retreated, organized defense, on the other hand, dispatched troops from many directions to support the war in Kursk State.

After gaining a firm foothold, the Russian army began to counterattack. In Kursk, in addition to border guards, mercenaries and conscripts, the Russian army also invested many elite troops: the 155th Marine Brigade, the 40th Marine Brigade, the 106th Airborne Division, the 72nd motorized infantry division, the 810th Marine Brigade, and even the 22nd Special Forces Brigade directly under the General Staff. With the arrival of reinforcements, the Russian army gradually gained its strength advantage. According to estimates, the Russian army has more than three times the strength advantage in this area, and has received fire support from the Air Force.

Judging from the war situation in Kursk State, from August 6 to September 12, the Russian counterattack was very weak. The main operational purpose was to delay the offensive momentum and troop buildup of the Ukrainian army and prepare for the subsequent counterattack. The United States assessed that Russia needs as many as 20 brigades (about 50,000 people) to completely drive the Ukrainian army out of Kursk; Pat Ryder, a spokesman for the US Department of Defense, said on September 12th that Russia’s counter-offensive actions so far were "insignificant". The reason for this situation is mainly because the Russian army needs to balance the eastern front and the operations in Kursk, and it takes time to assemble and deploy its troops. Therefore, the real counterattack operations are mainly launched in mid-September.

After more than a month’s counter-offensive, the Russian army has regained control of nearly half the territory, which means that the Ukrainian army now controls an area of more than 500 square kilometers. This can also be felt from the official battle report of the Ukrainian army. The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces issued a war report on the 24th, saying that as of that afternoon, there were 101 battles in the front-line areas. The situation on the front line is still grim, and the Russian army, taking advantage of its manpower and equipment, keeps attacking Ukrainian positions. In Kharkov, Kupyansk, Pokrovsk, Kurahovo and other regions, the Ukrainian army is taking all measures to stop the Russian attack. In addition, the actions of the Ukrainian army in the Kursk region are still continuing.

On September 20, 2024, local time, Russian soldiers were preparing to launch mortars in Kursk region, Russia.

Battle decisive battle and key variables

For the purpose of attacking the Russian Kursk region, the official statement of Ukraine is to set up a buffer zone, but there is no sign of a large-scale attack by Russian troops in this area, and the statement of the buffer zone is puzzling. Later, Ukraine admitted that the main purpose of Ukraine’s surprise attack on Kursk was to divert the Russian army’s attack on Pokrovsk, a major town in eastern Ukraine, which was an important logistics hub of the Ukrainian army, that is, "encircling Wei to save Zhao". Some analysts said that another purpose is to control the nuclear power plant in Kursk region as "an important bargaining chip" for the follow-up negotiations.

However, the purpose of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" has not been realized now. The Russian army stepped up its offensive on the eastern front, and the battle against Kursk state did not even specify the time node for the Ukrainian army to fight the territory, that is, it did not seek a quick victory. For the Ukrainian side, if we retreat easily now, the negative political and military impact will be unbearable. With the arrival of the Russian counterattack, the Ukrainian army will also dispatch troops to continue to increase its troops in the direction of Kursk, and the two sides have launched a tragic war of attrition and positional warfare in the direction of Kursk. The high-level command of the Ukrainian army has made strategic adjustments and decided to transfer some troops of the 116th Brigade and the 145th and 148th Brigade from the front line of Kulahov to the Kursk region.

According to a report by the Russian news agency on October 20th, the commander of the Ukrainian special forces revealed that the strength of the Ukrainian army in Kursk has increased to 14 brigades, and a large number of foreign mercenaries have joined the battle. This action marks that the Ukrainian army has expanded its strength from 8 brigades to 14 brigades in just 10 days to cope with the Russian counterattack.

Now, in the direction of Kursk, the two villages of Malaya Lokonia and Victorov Ka have become the focus of contention between the two sides. The village of Loknya in Malaya is currently under the control of the Ukrainian army, and the situation in Victorov Card is also very complicated. The two sides fought fiercely, and the reinforcements from Suja of the Ukrainian army further strengthened the defense of these positions, which hindered the Russian offensive in this area.

According to the relevant analysis, the place where the Russian President said that 2,000 Ukrainian troops were surrounded should refer to the villages of Pogrebuki, Marie Jefka, Krugrenko and orlov Ka. There are about three battalions of Ukrainian troops, surrounded on three sides and blocked by aviation, drones and artillery on the other side. This also means that all supply and evacuation routes are controlled by fire, and there are not enough means of transportation to evacuate. If you want to retreat, you must rely mainly on your feet. The situation is very bad for Ukrainian troops.

Now, on the one hand, the Ukrainian army has deployed troops from other fronts to consolidate the defense line and find opportunities to attack. On the other hand, it has used suicide drones to attack the strategic targets behind the Russian army and delay the Russian attack. With the support of the air force, the Russian army stepped up its attack, controlled strategic locations, sought the opportunity of decisive battle in this region, and sought to deploy more troops to Kursk to expand its military superiority.

The most important thing now is whether Russia can get foreign support from tens of thousands of people. Recently, there have been many news reports in this regard. Some news is hard to distinguish between true and false, and some official statements are silent. The truth is unknown. If Russia can really get this support and invest in the Kursk battlefield, it will be an important variable in this battlefield, which is likely to affect the direction of the upcoming decisive battle, which deserves attention.

On October 18, 2024, local time, a man walked through a wall in Kursk, Russia, and a banner was hung on the wall to commemorate Russian soldiers who participated in Russian military operations in Ukraine.

　　"Our modernization is both the most difficult and the greatest." When attending the discussion of the Party’s 20th Guangxi delegation, the Supreme Leader General Secretary made a profound exposition on comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization.

　　One of the essential requirements of Chinese modernization is to achieve high-quality development. High-quality development is the primary task of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way.

　　Stay in the new journey of national rejuvenation and draw a grand blueprint for future development. Since the beginning of this year, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has presided over many important meetings and visited local areas to guide all localities to implement the new development concept completely, accurately and comprehensively, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, and promote Chinese modernization with high-quality development.

　　To achieve high-quality development, we must rely on science and technology.

　　"It’s worth seeing. Seeing it gives me confidence in achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance." On the morning of July 7th, when General Secretary of Supreme Leader visited Jiangsu, he affirmed that Suzhou Industrial Park was at the forefront in scientific and technological innovation and high-quality development.

　　During the two sessions of the National People’s Congress this year, when General Secretary of the Supreme Leader participated in the deliberation of the Jiangsu delegation, he sent a message that Jiangsu should "strive to build an industrial science and technology innovation center with global influence".

　　Now, aiming at this goal, Suzhou Industrial Park has refined the action plan and specific indicators by 2025. "If China’s economy wants to develop upwards, achieve high-quality development and become an economic power, it depends on science and technology." The general secretary encouraged, "You are shouldering such a historical mission, which is both significant and glorious."

　　Self-reliance in science and technology is the "great country" in the mind of the Supreme Leader General Secretary. During an inspection tour in Guangdong in April this year, the General Secretary pointed out that achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance is the key to Chinese modernization. During his inspection tour in Hebei in May, the General Secretary emphasized that accelerating the construction of a powerful country through science and technology is the strategic support for building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in an all-round way.

△ Silicon polishing sheet displayed in Zhonghuan Industrial Park, Hohhot, Inner Mongolia

　　In the exhibition hall of Central Industrial Park in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, the "transcripts" are arranged in a row:

　　In 2019, the 12-inch photovoltaic silicon wafer was first released, which pushed the industry technology forward for 5 to 10 years and reduced the cost of photovoltaic power by 6.8%… … Now, we are aiming at the localization of semiconductor monocrystalline silicon for scientific and technological research.

　　On June 7th, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to the industrial park to learn more about the R&D and production of products such as semiconductors and photovoltaic materials of enterprises in the park. He stressed: "Now, we must rely on high-level science and technology to stand on our own feet and build a new development pattern to overcome scientific and technological difficulties."

　　With the new round of scientific and technological revolution and rapid industrial transformation, scientific and technological innovation has become an important engine to transform the mode of economic development and promote high-quality development.

　　This year, all 16 million-kilowatt units of Baihetan Hydropower Station passed the acceptance inspection, Chang Erding’s "One Arrow and Four Stars" was successfully launched and formed the first wheeled satellite formation in the world, and the "Lucky Bird" AC332 helicopter successfully completed its first flight in full state … … The innovation engine is accelerating continuously, helping to open up new fields and new tracks, and shaping new development momentum and new advantages.

　　With the support of the real economy, we will not take the road of detachment from reality to emptiness.

　　In the exhibition hall of Guangzhou Automobile Aian New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd., six new car products are lined up. During an inspection tour in Guangdong, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came here and looked at them one by one with great interest, asking in great detail from price to sales volume, from material technology to battery technology.

　　The general secretary said with emotion: "We are a big country with a population of more than 1.4 billion, and we cannot develop singly. We can’t rely on others, we have to rely on ourselves. We must attach importance to the real economy, take the road of self-reliance and achieve self-reliance in science and technology. "

　　During this trip to Guangdong, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "Chinese modernization can’t take the road of breaking away from reality and becoming virtual, and we must speed up the construction of a modern industrial system supported by the real economy."

　　Shortly after the inspection tour in Guangdong, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader presided over the first meeting of the 20th Central Financial and Economic Committee to study the problem of accelerating the construction of a modern industrial system, stressing that "the modern industrial system is the material and technological foundation of a modern country, and the focus of economic development must be placed on the real economy".

　　Modern industrial system is the material and technical support for high-quality development, and it is also an important symbol to realize economic modernization.

　　△ On June 6, 2023, the first domestic large-scale cruise ship, Ada Modu, officially docked at Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipyard after completing a series of in-dock tests.

　　Recently, the construction of China’s modern industrial system has gained a new vivid epitome-

　　In the first half of this year, the new orders received by China’s shipbuilding industry accounted for 72.6% of the international market share, setting a new record, which also means that China’s shipbuilding industry is gradually taking the initiative in the global market.

　　On July 17, the National Bureau of Statistics released data showing that China’s GDP increased by 5.5% year-on-year in the first half of this year, which was higher than the economic growth rate of 3% in the whole year of last year and 4.5% in the first quarter. It can be seen that as the economy and society fully resume normal operation, China’s economic recovery is improving and high-quality development is steadily advancing.

　　Build a new open economic system at a higher level.

　　South Korea’s LG Display Company chose to settle its global core production base in Guangzhou.

　　When the Supreme Leader General Secretary visited Guangdong, the person in charge of the enterprise introduced the advanced monitors produced by the base, such as wallpaper screen, transparent screen, car screen and double-sided screen, and expressed confidence in the market prospect of China.

　　"This shows that your choice is correct and your development prospects here are broad." The general secretary said, "China market is an ocean, and we have the largest consumer market in the world, and we are accelerating the construction of a ‘ that promotes each other at home and abroad; Double cycle ’ Continuously improve the business environment. In the current global economic difficulties, China’s market advantage will become more obvious. "

　　Building a new open economic system at a higher level is a strategic measure that China takes the initiative to promote reform and development through opening up.

　　Not long ago, when presiding over the second meeting of the Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that it is necessary to build a new development pattern around services, focus on institutional opening, focus on key areas of foreign exchanges and cooperation such as investment, trade, finance and innovation, deepen institutional reform, improve supporting policies and measures, and actively raise China’s opening up to a new level.

　　△ On April 15th this year, buyers learned about China’s new energy automobile products in the newly set new energy and intelligent networked automobile exhibition area of Canton Fair.

　　The latest data shows that in the first half of this year, China’s total import and export of goods was 201016 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 2.1%. On April 15th, the 133rd China Import and Export Fair "relayed" the 3rd China International Consumer Goods Expo, attracting buyers from more than 220 countries and regions, and the exhibition area and the number of enterprises reached a new high … …

　　Facing the trend of anti-globalization, China adheres to a high level of opening to the outside world, firmly grasps the initiative of development, breaks through the blocking points of economic cycle, maximizes the institutional advantages, and continuously enhances the potential of high-quality development.

△ Zhoushan Port in Ningbo

　　Based on the domestic market and connecting with the international market, we will build a new development pattern with the domestic big cycle as the main body and the domestic and international double cycles promoting each other. Under the guidance of the Supreme Leader’s General Secretary, the construction of China’s modern industrial system has achieved remarkable results, technological breakthroughs have been continuously achieved in key areas, international competitiveness has been significantly enhanced, and development achievements have been continuously transformed into people’s quality of life … … On the land of China, a picture of high-quality development is slowly spreading.

　　Looking forward to China’s development prospects, General Secretary’s words are full of self-confidence: "Chinese modernization has goals, plans and strategies, and will certainly be realized. We will move forward step by step. "
