South Georgia i.Located in the southern part of the Atlantic Ocean, the environment is unique, isolated, steep and steep, with endless alpine snow peaks, spectacular glaciers and rough and primitive canyon waterfalls, and it is famous for its wild animals’ paradise. However, since it was first discovered in 1675, in less than 100 years, the elephant seals and fur seals on the island have been hunted to death and have since become "bloody".Whaling station. Whaling paradise in the South Atlantic. With the disappearance of the bloody massacre on the island, the number of wild animals on the island has rebounded, and now hundreds of thousands of southern elephant seals gather here every spring to complete their mission.

Because of their huge size and rich fat, elephant seals are hunted in large numbers to extract oil. According to statistics, London alone has been used for one year.20,000 tonsLike seal oil. At the end of the 19th century, many scientists thought that this giant elephant seal (the northern elephant seal) was extinct. Fortunately, in 1910, a small group of lucky people were discovered. The current population is the survivors of that year. Descendants

South Georgia, big guy, the world’s largest pteropod!

Elephant seal (scientific name: Miroungaleonina, English name: seaelephant) belongs to Pinpoda, Marine family, Monk seal subfamily, Elephant seal genus. According to the different distribution areas, elephant seals are divided intoSouth China Sea Elephant () and northern elephant seals. South Elephant Seal and South Elephant Seal mainly inhabit South Georgia Island, Kerguelen Islands, macquarie island and surrounding areas. Due to different geographical locations, it is divided into South Atlantic subgroup, Indian Ocean subgroup and sub-Antarctic Pacific subgroup. The distribution of northern elephant seals is limited to the west coast of North America, the United States and the western coastal areas of Mexico.

Among them, the southern elephant seal is the largest pteropod and the largest land carnivore.CarnivoraMedium. It looks like a "meat mountain" from a distance. At the same time, the southern elephant seal also created the biggest weight difference between male and female mammals. The average weight of males is about 2.2-4 tons.The average body length is 4.5-5.8m.. The heaviest elephant seal recorded in Guinness World Records weighs 5 tons and its body length can reach 6.85 meters. The female weighs only400-800 kg, with a body length of no more than 3 meters.. Compared with northern elephant seals, their gender is similar, but not so extreme. The average weight of male northern elephant seals is about 2 tons, and that of females is about 700-800 kilograms. To tell the truth, seeing the male southern elephant seal pressing on the female southern elephant seal really worried the latter …

Tips: Because the English name of the elephant seal "seaelephant" is translated into "walrus", many careless students directly translate it into walrus (the English name of Walrus is’ Walrus’). Although walrus and elephant seal are both "sea", they belong to different species families. Adult walrus females and males have two long "tusks".

Because of its huge size, there are no polar bears on land.South elephant seals basically "walk sideways" on the Antarctic continent. Killer whales only threaten them when they are in the sea.. Although southern elephant seals often lie prone on the beach to rest, like a meat mountain, they are bloated and have great difficulty in moving (the speed is about 5-10 km/h), but as soon as they enter the water, their limbs are fin-shaped. According to scientific observation, southern elephant seals can dive to a depth of 400 to 1,000 meters (1,300 to 3,300 feet) at a time, and each dive lasts for 20-40 minutes. The deepest recording depth is2388 meters, refreshing the depth of mammals entering the sea.

With epic diving skills, what will the southern elephant seal do? Squid fishing. Because there is no echolocation, southern elephant seals usually use their keen eyesight and whiskers to perceive the situation in nearby waters and eat some fish, krill and crustaceans. However, after dissecting the dead specimens, scientists found that the favorite food of the southern elephant seal was squid.

Three thousand harem beauties? The number of the strongest harem beauties has reached 270!

South elephant seal pursues "polygamy"Is a typical mammal. Every year during the breeding season, groups of female southern elephant seals return to the coast to mate with the males who have won the battle.

Southern elephant seals spend most of their time at sea and only return to the shore during the breeding season or when they molt. At the beginning of the annual breeding season (December-January), groups of male southern elephant seals arrive at the beach first, and everyone "shows their muscles" for hegemony.. A beach usually only produces a "beach owner".But the status of beach owners may be challenged at any time.

The name elephant seal comes from its huge and prominent nose, which is similar in shape to an elephant, but only male elephant seals have it. Its main function is to make sounds. Male elephant seals have a strong sense of territory. If other male elephant seals invade its territory, it will not hesitate to send out’.Lion roar’The strange sounds made in some caves are like the warnings made by seals. Ideally, it is to achieve the effect of defeat without fighting.

If it really doesn’t work, we can only resort to force, which often ends in bloodshed. First, the two sides do difficult yoga moves (stand up) and hit each other with meat bombs, then you take a bite and I take a bite. After the comparison, the fatter one will watch. The fatter.The stronger the lethality, the stronger the endurance.. However, the male southern elephant seal is naturally prepared for this kind of battle, and the neck fat is particularly thick, which generally does not lead to death or serious injury. Therefore, anyone who has seen wild southern elephant seals must have seen their rudeness and irritability.

With the roar of the earth-shattering, the two sides were bitten black and blue, and the winner was gradually divided. The winning king can bring 40-50 females who landed on the beach in estrus into the harem., up to 270.Due to the lure of huge benefits, all male southern elephant seals are challenged and challenged throughout the breeding season. Among them, the "beach boss" is the busiest. In addition to completing the sowing task, he has to face the challenge from passers-by to drive away other male seals (the loser lingers on the edge of the beach, trying to mate with the female seal quickly before being driven away, and if he is lucky, he can pass your own genes). Because of too many things, the "beach owner" didn’t have time to feed at all, so in just one month, he could only scrape by on the huge fat reserves in his body.

Research data show that only 2-3% of male southern elephant seals are found every year.Have the opportunity to inherit genes. In a large-scale paternity test, scientists studied a population on the beaches of the Falkland Islands and found that 125 offspring were born within two years (the largest number of offspring recorded by men was 500), among which110 descendants belong to the same father. In addition, 72% of males have never had a single mating phenomenon, and even some individuals have never died of old age (single to death). It can be said that drought does not die, and floods do not die. It is precisely because of this struggle that the huge gap in resource allocation has led to the development of males in the direction of huge size.

When I was born, I weighed about 50 kilograms, which quadrupled in one month!

The pregnant period of female southern elephant seals is usually 9 months, but they can give birth after 12 months of pregnancy. The cub weighs about 50 kilograms at birth, but within one month, the cub’s weight can be quadrupled. The main reason is that the milk of female southern elephant seals contains a lot ofOil.

When the baby elephant seal is born, the milk secreted by the female elephant seal contains about 12% fat. Two weeks later, this number increased to more than 55%, giving the liquid a pudding-like consistency. In contrast, humans only account for 3.5%. So in just 30 days, the weight of the cubs rose steadily, while the weight of the female southern elephant seal decreased slowly, losing at least one third of its weight. Cubs are usually born on the beach during the breeding season, so cubs are often crushed to death by males.

Conclusion:

Historically, southern elephant seals have been hunted to extinction by humans. Later, because the number was too small, the cost of a trip to the South Pole was not worth mentioning. Since 1964, the number of southern elephant seals has been able to recuperate. Since then, their numbers have rebounded rapidly, and the southern elephant seal is considered to be the least concerned species. However, due to overfishing, marine pollution and climate change in Antarctic waters, the future of the southern elephant seal is in danger.

　　China Net Yinchuan September 27 th(Reporter Sun Lingxuan) Children in Ningxia, Huang Hefu, protect the Yellow River. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited the wuzhong section of the Yellow River during his investigation in Ningxia to learn about the situation of strengthening the ecological protection of the Yellow River basin, emphasizing that the Yellow River is the mother river of the Chinese nation and a valuable resource for the survival and development of the Chinese nation and civilization. Since ancient times, the Yellow River water has nourished this beautiful and rich land in Ningxia, and it is still benefiting the people of all ethnic groups in Ningxia today. Ningxia should have the overall concept and responsibility, cherish the Yellow River more, take good care of it, and strive to build a pioneering area for ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River basin.

　　"Make overall plans to promote ecological protection and restoration and environmental governance, and strive to build a pioneering area for ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin". This is the earnest expectation of the Supreme Leader General Secretary for Ningxia.

　　Recently, in order to thoroughly implement the spirit of the important speech delivered by the Supreme Leader General Secretary at the symposium on promoting ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin, and show the new measures, new practices and new achievements in promoting ecological protection and high-quality development in all parts of the Yellow River Basin, "Chinese Dream • Yellow River Love — — The interview group of the network theme activity "Ecological Protection and High-quality Development in the Yellow River Basin" conducted an interview in Ningxia, visited An Lan, Ningxia, which is bordered by the south of the Yangtze River, and felt the Yellow River.

　　Building a "Green Great Wall" by Sand Control and Afforestation in Baijitan

　　"Sand control is very ordinary, you have worked very hard, and the results are very gratifying and inspiring. This is an ordinary and great cause, and it has also strengthened our determination to control sand. We will fully support your cause." People in Baijitan remember the encouragement and exhortation given by the Supreme Leader when he visited here in 2008.

　　Ningxia Lingwu Baijitan National Nature Reserve (Baijitan Sand Protection Forest Farm) was established in 1953, and was promoted to a national nature reserve in 2000. Now, the total area of protected areas and forest farms is 1.48 million mu, which is located at the edge of Mu Us sandy land east of the Yellow River in Yinchuan City. The main problems before treatment are: First, the impact on the mother river-Yellow River, which is 5 kilometers away from the Yellow River and distributed in the region. Second, the drought has caused serious damage to sandstorms, which is located at the east gate of Yinchuan and the desert closest to the capital city. The annual rainfall is 150-170mm, and the sand dunes are tall and the natural restoration ability is extremely weak. The disastrous weather caused by sandstorms is harmful to industry and agriculture.

　　Since 2008, the sand control in Baijitan has been speeded up again, with the speed of 20,000 mu of sand control and planting green every year, pushing the desert 20 kilometers away, and building a green barrier combining trees, shrubs and grass with a length of 61 kilometers from north to south and a width of 20-30 kilometers from east to west, which has achieved remarkable results in artificially promoting natural restoration.

　　Wu Jingzhong, 55, is a second-generation ranger at Baijitan Management Station. In the forest he guards, there are old elms carried by his father and the older generation of Baijitan people. Every day, a person takes fire prevention tools and rides a motorcycle to patrol the forest for more than 20 kilometers, rain or shine, and never stops.

　　"Seeing here now, I still feel tears, because I once really sweated and shed tears in this place." When asked about the present life, Wu Jingzhong said with a smile, "Sand control has changed the harsh environment, the living conditions have been greatly improved, and people have lived more comfortably and at ease."

　　Over the past 60 years, the three generations of Baijitan people have been persistent, accumulating 630,000 mu of sand control and afforestation, controlling nearly one million mu of quicksand, and the forest coverage rate has reached 41%, effectively curbing the southward migration and westward expansion of Mu Us sandy land, protecting the ecological security of the Yellow River and Yinchuan Hedong, and becoming a model area for precise and scientific sand control in the Three North Project.

　　Promoting water, enriching people and strengthening water area

　　"High-platform architectural style in Qin and Han Dynasties, bronze twisted light steel roof." What caught the reporter’s eye was the Ningxia Water Conservancy Expo in the Xiakou area of Qingtongxia.

　　Ningxia Water Conservancy Expo, which was opened in March 2010, is divided into upper and lower floors, with a construction area of 4,085 square meters and an exhibition area of 2,850 square meters. There are 23 units in six parts in the museum, including preface hall, rhyme of a thousand years, prosperous times, water conservancy future, water conservancy culture and water conservancy figures. More than 700 pieces of cultural relics (objects) such as pentagonal ceramic water pipes in Han Dynasty, gray ceramic water pipes in Song Dynasty, Qushen Monument in the Republic of China, Hanqu Monument, Niugongde Zhengsheng Monument, etc. are displayed, and sand tables of Haowang Kaiqu, Saibei Jiangnan and other scenes are molded, and more than 2000 pieces are displayed comprehensively.

　　Since ancient times, Ningxia has existed only in the Yellow River and developed only in the Yellow River. Thanks to the selfless nurturing of the Yellow River mother, Ningxia’s water conservancy construction, despite dynasty changes and disaster twists and turns, has always continued to develop under the theme of national unity, openness, tolerance and civilization, which has played an important role in promoting agricultural and animal husbandry production and maintaining border stability.

　　It is understood that from Sima Qian’s "water is of interest" to Guo Shoujing’s "seeking new things from the old", from Qianlong Emperor’s "developing water conservancy to make the best use of the land" to Zhang Jincheng, the magistrate of Ningxia, "canals are the lifeblood of people in Ningxia", which inherited the profound understanding of predecessors on water control. Whenever the situation was stable, the regime at that time always regarded opening canals and opening up wasteland as a political priority. Supervising the people at the right time and developing water conservancy have created the prosperity of "the north of the Yangtze River and the south of the Yangtze River" and "the land of plenty".

Qingtongxia dam water conservancy scenic spot

　　Looking back at the history, the dredging of the river in the Han Dynasty, the dredging of the river in the Xixia Dynasty, the Gengli sluice weir in the Yuan Dynasty, the Shili long dike in the Ming Dynasty, and the large-scale canal opening in the Qing Dynasty all shine with the simple scientific concept of water control and the wisdom of promoting water control by the working people in Ningxia.

　　After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region fully implemented the central water control strategy, deeply understood the present situation of Ningxia’s survival by water, water poverty and water-only development, set off the climax of large-scale water conservancy construction, created a new situation of comprehensive water control, and formed a relatively perfect water conservancy engineering system such as irrigation, drainage, flood control and water conservation. Nowadays, adhering to the idea of "water saving in the north, water transfer in the middle and open source in the south", agricultural water conservancy has changed greatly to industrial water conservancy, urban water conservancy and ecological water conservancy. It provides basic support for the all-round development of regional economy and society.

　　With the development of agriculture, industrialization and urbanization, water has become the basic natural resource and strategic economic resource to promote the sustainable development of modern economy and society. Accelerating the reform and development of water conservancy is an important and urgent strategic task related to the overall situation of China’s socialist modernization and the long-term development of the Chinese nation.

　　Purple business cards make Ningxia wine "amazing the world"

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader affirmed the development of the wine industry when he visited Ningxia in July 2016. When the General Secretary visited Ningxia in early June this year, he clearly pointed out that Ningxia should combine the development of wine industry with strengthening the management of the Yellow River beach area and ecological restoration, improve the technical level, increase the cultural connotation, strengthen publicity and promotion, build its own well-known brand, and improve the added value and comprehensive benefits. The important instructions and earnest entrustment of the General Secretary not only encourage but also spur the development of wine industry in Ningxia, which not only points out the development direction, but also provides a strong impetus.

　　In early autumn, the vineyards at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain are full of vitality. Within three days, the press delegation went to Xige Winery, Hedong Manor and Zhihui Yuanshi Winery successively, and went into the grape garden, production workshop, constant temperature wine cellar and wine product exhibition hall to learn about the varieties of wine grapes and the production and processing of wine.

　　Xige Winery is located in Pigeon Mountain, Qingtongxia City. It is one of the five-level wineries at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain. It was established in 2017. The winery advocates nature, follows the concept of biodynamic cultivation, and pursues the original ecology of grape planting. There are more than 10 grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. According to the staff of the winery, as a demonstration winery jointly built by Ningxia and Marburg, New Zealand, Xige is building an international and modern winery integrating Chinese and Western cultures.

Hedong manor underground liquor cellar

　　Hedong Manor is located in Shizuishan City, located in the golden growth zone of 38 north latitude, which is the most suitable for growing wine grapes in the world. It is the northernmost winery in the eastern foothills of Helan Mountain. Founded in 1997, the manor is one of the oldest manors in the eastern foothills of Helan Mountain.

　　"Hedong Manor practices with actions ‘ Create the most collectible wine brand in the world ’ The concept. " Gong Jie, Chairman of Hedong Manor, introduced that while brewing fine wine, Hedong Manor adheres to the development concept of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" and wholeheartedly invests in the development of green ecological winery tourism industry. The manor is lush with trees, flowers and fruits, and centuries-old vines dominate. The landscape of 2 km sightseeing train, forest tourists’ walking track, multi-functional environmental protection yurt, off-road vehicle track and helicopter landing platform is unique to Hedong Manor.

　　Zhihui Yuanshi Winery is a Chinese-style winery adhering to the concept of "harmony between man and nature". The winery uses abandoned sandstone mining areas, reuses all kinds of abandoned building materials, integrates many Chinese elements from the traditional aesthetics of China, and inherits the architectural style of the Han Dynasty. It took six years to build a garden-style China Winery. After years of development, Yuanshi Winery has become a comprehensive winery integrating vineyard planting management, refined brewing, product research and development and wine cultural tourism.

　　It is understood that 92 wineries have been built at the foot of the east foot of Helan Mountain. By the end of 2019, the planting area of wine grapes in the eastern foot of Helan Mountain in Ningxia has reached 496,000 mu, which is the largest grape producing area in China, with a comprehensive output value of 26.1 billion yuan. The grape industry provides about 120,000 jobs for ecological immigrants every year, achieving an income of 900 million yuan.

　　The wine industry has become a well-deserved purple business card in Ningxia, which makes Ningxia wine "amazing in the world" and paints a brand-new picture for the high-quality economic development in Ningxia.

　　Ningxia is the place that the Supreme Leader General Secretary has been paying attention to and caring about, and it is an important ecological security barrier in the northwest region. The Yellow River, here, spreads a magnificent picture of the south of the Yangtze River, and composes immortal poems for the people of Ningxia to build a beautiful home. Standing at the starting point of the new era, Ningxia is advancing with the times, developing scientifically, prospering water and enriching the people, prospering water and strengthening the region, undertaking the important mission of maintaining ecological security in the northwest and even the whole country, striving to find a new way of high-quality development in line with Ningxia’s reality, and re-scoring the Chinese chapter in the magnificent journey of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　The mighty Yangtze River, which gathers great rivers and passes through the long gorge, is rich in resources such as hydropower, shipping and fresh water.

　　Six large hydropower stations, Wudongde, Baihetan, Xiluodu, Xiangjiaba, Three Gorges and Gezhouba, are arranged from top to bottom along the main stream of the Yangtze River, forming the world’s largest clean energy corridor: spanning more than 1,800 kilometers, with a water level drop of over 900 meters, a total of 110 hydro-generator sets are running in succession, and the vast river brings rolling green electricity.

　　Not long ago, the industrial Internet platform was deployed in six cascade hydropower stations, which indicated that the "industrial brain", the world’s largest clean energy corridor, was basically completed, and the operation efficiency, safety and reliability of hydropower stations were greatly improved.

　　The cumulative power generation of six cascade hydropower stations has exceeded 3.5 trillion kWh, which is equivalent to saving over 1 billion tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by over 2.8 billion tons. At the same time, cascade reservoirs cooperate with each other, and the benefits of smooth shipping, water resources protection and ecological protection are comprehensively released.

Total installed capacity of 71.695 million kilowatts

　　"One drop of water sends 6 times of electricity", and the joint debugging of six reservoirs makes the "green engine" stronger.

　　Baihetan Hydropower Station between deep canyons, the concrete hyperbolic arch dam with the maximum dam height of 289 meters is included in the Pentium River. The water flowing down from a height of more than 200 meters drives the runner of the hydro-generator set to rotate, and the unit can generate about 150 kWh of electricity every time it rotates.

　　Sixteen million-kilowatt hydro-generator sets of Baihetan Hydropower Station are running at full capacity. Wang Bin, deputy director of the operation department of Baihetan Power Plant of Yangtze River Power, said: "Operators are on duty 24 hours a day, sensors collect data in real time, and the system will automatically give an early warning once the operation indicators are abnormal."

　　"The generator set is like a gyro that rotates by water, converting kinetic energy into electrical energy." Kang Yonglin, former deputy director of Baihetan Engineering Construction Department of China Three Gorges Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Three Gorges Group"), said that at the speed of 111 revolutions per minute, the coins standing on it did not move, and the swing of each bearing was less than 0.1 mm during operation … … "The key technologies such as the overall arrangement of units, electromagnetic design, and manufacturing of major components have successively achieved important innovations, which have witnessed the leading position of China Hydropower in the fields of equipment manufacturing, design and installation."

　　In December 2022, Baihetan Hydropower Station realized that all units were put into operation to generate electricity. Looking back from Baihetan, this clean energy corridor has witnessed the breakthroughs of hydropower technology in China.

　　Gezhouba, which was completed in the 1980s, has a maximum capacity of 170,000 kilowatts per hydro-generator unit. As the largest water control project in the world, the Three Gorges Hydropower Station has overcome the design and manufacturing technology of 700,000 MW units. Subsequently, in Xiluodu, Xiangjiaba and wudongde hydropower station, the single unit capacity of hydro-generator sets has exceeded 770,000, 800,000 and 850,000 kilowatts.

　　Upgrading is not a simple addition, and the difficulty coefficient of R&D technology increases geometrically every time. The capacity of a single machine has reached million kilowatts, which is inseparable from the application of a series of new technologies and materials, and the whole industrial chain has been upgraded, such as hydraulic design, generator ventilation and overall design of units. "The million-kilowatt unit has greater head impact, faster rotating speed and higher bearing pressure. The Three Gorges Group has taken the lead in large-scale steel enterprises and developed 800 MPa-class high-strength spiral case steel plates, getting rid of the situation of long-term dependence on imports." Li Haijun, deputy director of the Electromechanical Technology Center of Three Gorges Group, gave an example.

　　The total installed capacity of the six cascade hydropower stations is 71.695 million kilowatts, which is equivalent to the installed capacity of the three Gorges hydropower stations, and the energy supply is constantly enhanced, and five of them have become the backbone power stations of "West-to-East Power Transmission".

　　"The Yangtze River water passes through six hydropower stations in turn, which is equivalent to one drop of water generating six times of electricity." Kang Yonglin calculated a detailed account: 1 cubic meter of water can produce 0.25 kWh of green electricity through the Three Gorges Hydropower Station; The power generation multiplier effect is realized by the joint dispatching of six reservoirs, and the power generation can reach 2 kWh, and the efficiency is increased to 8 times.

　　"The operation and scheduling of giant power stations in the basin involves ‘ Water, machinery and electricity ’ Multiple links, huge scale, changeable time and space, cross-regional and cross-network, complex structure. Cascade hydropower stations bear both peak load and base load, which puts forward higher requirements for long-term safe and stable operation of hydropower. " Tang Zhengyang, deputy director of the Yangtze Power Science and Technology Research Center, said. The industrial Internet platform deeply empowers all business scenarios such as intelligent operation and maintenance, intelligent maintenance, intelligent dispatching and intelligent decision-making, comprehensively improves the intelligent operation and maintenance level of equipment, and helps the digital construction of hydropower stations.

　　768 km deepwater reservoir channel

　　Release the "golden benefit of golden waterway" to help the Yangtze River freight volume stay ahead.

　　The Three Gorges Dam and the double-track five-level ship lock are located on the left bank. In 2023, the safe operation of shiplocks exceeded 11,000 locks and the number of ships passing exceeded 42,000 — — How to operate safely and efficiently when you open the miter gate of about 900 tons for tens of thousands of times and climb the 113-meter water level difference with a thousand-ton ship?

　　"The Three Gorges Ship Lock is the largest inland ship lock in the world with the largest number of consecutive stages, the highest water head and the most complicated operating conditions. In operation, we have established mechanisms to ensure smooth shipping." Yang Hua, deputy director of the hub management department of the basin hub operation management center of the Three Gorges Group, said that in order to ensure the safety and reliability of all kinds of construction equipment, the Three Gorges ship lock will be regularly suspended for maintenance. On April 5, 2024, the planned suspension maintenance of the North Line Shiplock of the Three Gorges Project was successfully completed. This is the suspension maintenance with the longest construction period, the heaviest task and the most difficult process connection and coordination since the planned suspension maintenance began in 2012. With the participation of more than 800 people from 16 companies, the upgrading of the industrial control system of the Three Gorges Ship Lock, the overhaul of 12 miter gates and 12 reverse arc gates, and the replacement of 9 sets of oil cylinders were mainly completed within 45 days, which further improved the safety and reliability of the ship lock operation.

　　When a ship crosses the Three Gorges, it can not only "climb the stairs" but also "take the elevator". On the right side of the lock is the Three Gorges ship lift. According to Yang Hua, the ship-carrying compartment with a height of 10 meters and a water depth of 3.5 meters can accommodate a 3,000-ton ship, and it can be lifted to the height of nearly 40 floors in just 10 minutes. From January to April this year, the cargo volume of the Three Gorges shiplock exceeded 41.4 million tons, the ship lift operated safely for 1,685 times, and the cargo volume of the ship passing exceeded 1.96 million tons, up by 127.73% year-on-year.

　　Xiangjiaba ship lift is the second giant ship lift built in China after the Three Gorges ship lift, and the cargo volume in 2023 increased by 15.51% compared with the previous year. Since the navigation of Gezhouba Shiplock for more than 40 years, the daily average number of locks has increased from 8 to 49. According to the relevant person in charge of the Operation and Management Center of the Three Gorges Group Basin Hub, the Three Gorges, Xiangjiaba and Gezhouba water control hubs have promoted the Yangtze River shipping and economic development along the Yangtze River, helping the Yangtze River freight volume to continue to rank first in the world’s inland rivers.

　　Six cascade hydropower stations have formed a 768-kilometer deep-water reservoir channel, and the navigation conditions of the Yangtze River have improved steadily.

　　A section of rapids has become a water passage. After the completion of the Three Gorges Project, the maintenance depth of the waterway from Chongqing to Yichang has increased from 2.9 meters to 3.5 meters to 4.5 meters, and the tonnage of ships has increased from 1,000 tons to 5,000 tons. 109 beach hazards, 34 one-way controlled river sections and 12 sections that need to be stranded on the beach between the dam site and Chongqing have been eliminated, and "the river has never sailed at night since ancient times" has become history.

　　Ports go from small to large and then to strong. On the Yangtze River waterway in Chongqing, a number of deep-water wharves with a tonnage of more than 5,000 tons have been formed. Ports in the Three Gorges reservoir area, such as Yichang in Hubei, Fuling in Chongqing and Wanzhou, are booming. The advantages of low energy consumption, large transport capacity and low cost of the Yangtze River water transport have been fully exerted, further releasing the "golden benefits of the golden waterway".

　　The total storage capacity is 91.9 billion cubic meters

　　Form a strategic freshwater resource pool to provide support for water supply, water replenishment and ecological dispatching.

　　The Yangtze River Basin is a strategic water source for water resources allocation in China, with an average annual water resource of 995.9 billion cubic meters, accounting for about 36% of the country. Among them, this clean energy corridor forms a cascade reservoir group and a strategic freshwater resource pool with a total storage capacity of 91.9 billion cubic meters.

　　The benefit of water supply and water replenishment is remarkable. Li Peng, deputy chief engineer of the Three Gorges Cascade Dispatching of Yangtze Power, said: "We have rationally coordinated the dispatching plan and energy supply requirements, which has provided a guarantee for the comprehensive benefits of water supply, power generation, shipping and ecology."

　　Ecological dispatching continued. Fish resources are an important indicator to measure the health of rivers. The orderly increase of the discharge of reservoirs and the slow rise of the water level in river sections can create conditions for natural reproduction of fish. 2023 is the second year that Wudongde, Baihetan, Xiluodu, Xiangjiaba and Three Gorges Reservoir are all included in the scope of ecological dispatching. Relevant units have successively coordinated and organized 12 ecological dispatching experiments in three categories, namely, water temperature adjustment of stratified water intake at the stoplog gate, promotion of the reproduction of fish with sticky eggs by "base load power generation" and promotion of the reproduction of fish with drifting eggs. The world’s largest clean energy corridor has become an ecological protection corridor.

　　The scope of ecological regulation is constantly expanding. According to the person in charge of the Yangtze River Water Conservancy Commission of the Ministry of Water Resources, at present, the dispatching objects have expanded from promoting fish reproduction to regulating the water temperature of stratified water intake, preventing water bloom, discharging sand and reducing siltation in the reservoir area, and inhibiting excessive reproduction of submerged plants. The dispatching reservoir has expanded from the Three Gorges Reservoir to the cascade reservoirs in Jinsha River, Yalong River and Hanjiang River basins, which has effectively promoted the water ecological protection and restoration in the Yangtze River basin.

　　The relevant person in charge of the Three Gorges Group said that the comprehensive benefits of the world’s largest clean energy corridor will provide strong support for flood control safety, shipping safety, energy safety and ecological safety in the Yangtze River basin at a higher level, in a wider field and in a wider scope, and will continue to help the Yangtze River Economic Belt develop with high quality.

　　People’s Daily reporter Wang Hao

　　Cctv newsOn the morning of February 15th, the State Council Press Office held a press conference to introduce the first national comprehensive risk survey of natural disasters and answer reporters’ questions.

　　Zheng Guoguang, Secretary-General of the National Disaster Reduction Committee and Director of the Office of the First National Comprehensive Risk Survey of Natural Disasters in the State Council, said that the comprehensive risk survey of natural disasters is to focus on natural disasters, highlight disaster risks, emphasize integration, and fall into the survey, with the aim of improving the comprehensive ability of the whole society to prevent natural disaster risks.

　　The work of this general survey has four characteristics.

　　First, comprehensiveness, that is, multi-hazard species synthesis, disaster-causing factors and disaster-bearing bodies investigation synthesis, investigation and risk assessment zoning synthesis, etc. Multi-disaster body synthesis is to comprehensively investigate the disaster-causing factors of six major disasters, such as earthquake disaster, geological disaster, meteorological disaster, flood and drought disaster, marine disaster and forest and grassland fire. The synthesis of disaster-causing factors and disaster-bearing bodies is the level of synchronous investigation and data fusion of disaster-causing factors and disaster-bearing bodies, so as to scientifically evaluate and understand the comprehensive risk of natural disasters; Investigation and risk assessment zoning are integrated, with investigation as a foundation and evaluation and zoning as a key point. Based on the investigation results, risk assessment and zoning of single disaster species are carried out by departments. On this basis, the comprehensive risk assessment and zoning of multi-disaster species are carried out, and suggestions for the prevention and control of natural disasters are put forward.

　　The second is synergy, that is, departmental collaboration, up-and-down collaboration, management and technology collaboration. With the cooperation of departments, 19 departments and units at the national level participated in the survey, and the departments simultaneously promoted, interconnected and shared data to avoid the "barrel effect". If one department is backward, it may affect the progress of the whole census. Therefore, overall coordination is very important and is also the characteristic of this time. In addition, the coordination between the upper and lower levels, because this survey involves the national, provincial, municipal and county levels, and some villages and towns (villages) need to participate, so it is also very important to achieve the coordination between the upper and lower levels with clear responsibilities, consistent goals and orderly connection. Management and technical cooperation, this census organization and management and technical support are the "two wings" of the census, so that the census work system and technical system can be connected with each other, and managers and technical experts can work together to form a census work pattern in which management and technology support, complement and promote each other.

　　Third, it is scientific, organizing experts from various industries to study together and compiling 48 technical specifications for investigation. These specifications not only consider the technical specifications and business requirements of the industry, but also ensure the scientificity, operability and continuity of the investigation. According to the unified technical system and the corresponding risk levels of various disasters, a unified census scheduling platform is established, a unified survey base map is prepared, and a unified mapping software is issued to ensure the sharing of survey data and results among industries, so as to achieve "one map" display. A national and provincial census technical group from various departments and fields has been set up to be responsible for the technical review and check of census survey and data results. A "one list and two methods" for quality inspection and submission of survey data was established, and the quality control system of survey data was improved step by step to ensure the reliability of survey data.

　　Fourth, it is applicable, insisting on "general survey, application and effectiveness", promoting the application of survey data as a key task, continuously promoting the wide application of survey data by various localities and departments, and applying survey data to risk assessment and zoning in a timely manner.

　　This afternoon, the third largest section of China Space Station — — The Mengtian experimental module was successfully launched and will rendezvous and dock with the space station assembly later. After the docking is completed, China Space Station will form a three-cabin "T" basic configuration, and the "three-step" development strategy of China’s manned spaceflight project will also take an important step.

　　At the moment, China Space Station is running in a space orbit 400 kilometers away from the earth. Although everyone yearns for it, it is too far away from us, so we can only keep this yearning in our hearts. What many people don’t know is that we can interact with it intimately on earth.

　　Yes, there is a heavenly palace in the sky, and heaven remains our neighbourhood.

　　China Space Station orbits the earth once every 90 minutes. In the evening shortly after sunset and in the early morning before sunrise, the space station will reflect the sunlight in the evening or early morning. As long as it is visible to the naked eye under suitable weather conditions, it can of course be photographed by camera or mobile phone.

　　In order to congratulate the successful launch of Mengtian Experimental Module and welcome the new T-shaped "Tiangong", CCTV specially launched the "Tiangong flies over my city" space station follow-up activity, invited netizens from all over the country to shoot wonderful videos of China’s space station flying over various places and framed with landmark buildings, and selected outstanding works to be recommended and displayed on CCTV and CCTV accounts such as Weibo and Tik Tok.

　　Take action quickly, use your lens to photograph the romantic posture of China Space Station flying over the earth, record the Chinese Space Station flying over your city, and interact with China astronauts who are performing tasks in space from a distance, so as to cheer for China’s space industry!

　　How to participate: on the platform of Weibo, Tik Tok or Aauto Quicker, post your short video of China Space Station crossing with the topic # Tiangong flies over my city #, mark your city, @ CCTV or live China account.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Moscow, September 8th Interview: American military hegemony brings disaster to the world — — Interview with suslov, Deputy Director of European and International Comprehensive Research Center of Russian Higher University of Economics.

　　Xinhua News Agency reporter Geng Pengyu

　　Dmitry suslov, deputy director of the Center for European and International Studies of the Russian Higher University of Economics, said recently that the United States is the most expansionary country in the world, and its military hegemony is characterized by serious violation of international law and illegal military intervention, but its military hegemony will definitely end.

　　In an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency, suslov said that military hegemony has always been the main pillar of American global hegemony. The defense budget of the United States ranks first in the world, but it is still keen to further increase the military budget, expand its military alliance system, consolidate the relationship between allies and establish new military bases. American military hegemony has not brought peace and stability to the world, and its military intervention in violation of international law has brought huge security problems and humanitarian disasters to other countries.

　　Suslov said that the U.S.-led NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999, the U.S.-led Afghan war in 2001, the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the NATO air strike against Libya in 2011 not only dealt a heavy blow to international law, but also brought persistent threats and destruction to regional stability, causing great pain and disaster to local people.

　　Suslov said that the U.S. adherence to the principle of NATO’s eastward expansion led to the escalation of the Ukrainian crisis. The United States is the main supporter of promoting the prolongation of this conflict, seeing it as a relatively cheap and safe tool to weaken Russia, but ignoring the disaster it has caused to mankind.

　　Recently, at the release and seminar of the report "The Root, Reality and Harm of American Military Hegemony", a national high-end think tank of Xinhua News Agency, suslov pointed out in a video speech that in the eyes of the United States, once any country becomes or may become strong enough to challenge American global hegemony, the United States immediately regards it as a threat and starts a policy of containment and confrontation.

　　Suslov emphasized that the overwhelming majority of non-western countries oppose the global hegemony of the United States and support the establishment of a more just multipolar world. "Of course, the United States will continue to spare no effort to safeguard its global hegemony, which may make future international relations very dangerous. However, in the long run, the end of US military hegemony is inevitable. "

Typhoon Ma ‘an, which started the Class IV emergency response against wind in Guangdong, may land near the coast of Guangdong around 25th. If Ma ‘an goes along the predicted path, it will become the first typhoon to land near the Pearl River Estuary after Typhoon No.7 "Haigaosi" in 2020 (landing in Zhuhai at 06: 00 on August 19th, 2020). Typhoon Ma ‘an may only take five days from its formation to landing. Compared with Typhoon Mulan, its structure is more complete, and the wind and rain brought to Guangzhou are more obvious. Everyone should pay more attention to defending against the formation of Typhoon Ma ‘an No.9 this year on August 22nd. At 14: 00 on the 22nd, its center was located on the sea about 345km north-east of Manila, Philippines, and the maximum wind force near the center was 8 (18m/s). It is estimated that the "saddle" will move slowly to the north-west direction at a speed of 5~10 kilometers per hour, and its intensity will continue to strengthen slowly. In view of the possibility that Typhoon Ma ‘an will land directly in Guangdong in the next 72 hours, which will have a great impact on Guangdong, according to the Emergency Plan for Flood Control, Drought Prevention, Windproof and Freezing in Guangdong Province and the relevant regulations of the Provincial Defense General, the Office of the Guangdong Flood Control, Drought Prevention and Windproof Headquarters and the Guangdong Provincial Emergency Management Department decided to start the Level IV emergency response at 17: 00 on August 22nd. The Provincial Office of the Third Prevention and the Provincial Emergency Management Department said that due to the influence of the typhoon "Saddle", from August 24, the wind power in Guangdong and the northern part of the South China Sea will gradually increase to 9 ~ 11 and the gust will be 12. From 25th to 26th, there will be a strong wind and heavy rain in cities and counties in central and southern Guangdong. As of 18: 49 on the 22nd,11 typhoon warnings have come into effect in Guangdong. There is great uncertainty about the intensity and path of Typhoon Saddle after it enters the South China Sea, but it is necessary to make defensive response in advance to attack Guangdong with high probability. The Provincial Third Prevention Office and the Provincial Emergency Management Department require all localities and departments to strengthen consultation and judgment, start emergency response in time, strictly implement the "six hundred percent" requirements for typhoon prevention, and implement various defensive measures in detail to ensure the safety of people’s lives and property. The weather is often hot before the typhoon comes. During the day of August 22, there were scattered thunderstorms in the cities and counties of western Guangdong, and the rest of Guangdong was mainly sunny to cloudy. Affected by the weakening of precipitation and cloud cover, the highest temperature in most cities and counties in Guangdong increased by 1℃ ~ 4℃, and a total of 43 stations recorded high temperatures of 35℃ or above. The specific distribution of the highest temperature in Guangdong on August 22nd: some cities and counties along the southern coast are between 31℃ and 33℃, while most other cities and counties are generally between 34℃ and 37℃. Jiaoling, Raoping and Shantou recorded the highest temperature of 37.4℃ in the province. On the morning of August 22nd, the lowest temperature in Guangdong was generally between 22℃ and 27℃. Heyuan Zijin recorded the lowest temperature in the province of 20.9℃. As of 17: 00 on August 22, most of Guangdong has issued relevant high-temperature warning signals. Guangzhou city was sunny to cloudy during the day on August 22, and the lowest temperature in the morning was 26.8℃, which increased by 1.9℃. The highest temperature during the day was 34.9℃, which increased by 3℃. By 18: 20, the yellow warning signals of high temperature in all districts of Guangzhou were in effect. "saddle"Or the meteorological department of the Pearl River Delta pointed out that a tropical depression had been generated earlier on the ocean surface east of the Philippines, which has a good development space under the double blessing of warm ocean surface and southwest monsoon. Therefore, at 11: 00 noon on August 22nd, it has been strengthened into the ninth typhoon this year-"Saddle" (name source: Hong Kong, China. Name meaning: mountain name). Driven by the strong subtropical high, "Ma ‘an" will travel mainly from west to north in the future, pointing directly to the coast of Guangdong, which may directly hit the Pearl River Estuary. If Ma ‘an goes along the expected path, it will become the first typhoon to land near the Pearl River Estuary after Typhoon No.7 in 2020 (it landed in Zhuhai at 06: 00 on August 19th, 2020). The meteorological department reminded that the typhoon "Saddle" may only take five days from its generation to landing. Compared with typhoon "Mulan", its structure is more complete and the wind and rain brought to Guangzhou are more obvious. Everyone needs to pay more attention to defense. The wind is gradually increasing from August 24th to 25th, so please avoid going to the seaside. In addition, the typhoon is prone to strong convective weather before landing, so it is necessary to pay attention to defending against strong convective weather such as lightning and short-term gale. Statistics from China Weather Network show that August is the month with the most typhoons in a year. During the 73 years from 1949 to 2021, there were 415 typhoons in August in the Northwest Pacific and South China Sea, with an average of 5.7 typhoons in August each year. The typhoons that landed in China in August have the characteristics of "the second largest number, the second strongest intensity, a wide landing area, diverse paths and an increase in northbound typhoons".From 1949 to 2021, there were 95 typhoons that landed in China in August in 73 years. According to the intensity when they first landed in China, 12 of them were strong typhoons and 5 were super typhoons, accounting for 17.9%. China’s coastal provinces (cities, districts) except Hebei and Tianjin, from Guangxi to Liaoning, have all been the landing places of typhoons in August. The most frequent landing place is Guangdong. Guangzhou launches Level-4 emergency response against wind. The reporter learned from the Guangzhou Emergency Management Bureau that according to the "Guangzhou Emergency Plan for Flood Control, Drought Prevention, Windproof and Freezing", Guangzhou started the Level-4 emergency response against wind (windproof readiness) from 23: 30 on the 22nd, and all units did a good job in defense according to the provisions of the plan. Tomorrow, the weather in Guangzhou will turn unstable. The Meteorological Observatory predicts that, controlled by the subtropical ridge, most of Guangdong will be cloudy to sunny on August 23-24, with scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon and high temperature of 35℃-38℃ in the north-central part. On August 24, some cities and counties had moderate thunderstorms, accompanied by strong convective weather such as thunder and lightning and short-term gale of magnitude 8-10. From August 25th to 26th, affected by tropical cyclones, there will be an obvious wind and rain process in cities, counties and sea areas in central and southern Guangdong. On August 22, influenced by the subtropical high, Guangzhou was dominated by high temperature and heat, with the highest temperature around 35℃. On August 24, the weather became unstable and thunderstorms were active. Affected by tropical cyclones from August 25th to 26th, there will be an obvious gale and precipitation process in Guangzhou. There may be strong winds and heavy rains from 25th to 26th, and in the next seven days,The water potential of small and medium-sized rivers in the city is generally stable. Due to the rainfall brought by "saddle", small and medium-sized rivers in Huadu and Zengcheng District may fluctuate slightly, but it is unlikely that they will exceed the police. The tidal level of the Pearl River is rising day by day. On the 25th, according to the current forecast path and intensity of Saddle, there will be a storm surge of 0.4 to 0.7 meters at the Pearl River Estuary in Guangzhou, and the temporary forecast will not exceed the warning. If Ma ‘an continues to land westward to the west of the Pearl River Estuary, the precipitation will be aggravated. In case of danger and disaster, make sure to put into emergency rescue at the first time. The office of Guangzhou Sanfang General Command reminded that there is a great possibility that Typhoon Saddle No.9 will land near the Pearl River Estuary. All relevant departments should strengthen consultation and judgment and issue early warning in time to provide accurate early warning information for all levels, departments and the public to carry out disaster prevention and avoidance. All emergency rescue forces should preset personnel and equipment to key parts and places in advance according to the changing trends of typhoons, and ensure that they are put into emergency rescue as soon as possible in case of danger and disaster. Strictly implement the "six hundred percent" measures to prevent typhoons, and ensure that people in dangerous areas are completely transferred to safe areas, so as to leave no dead ends and no one missing.

　　"The people are only the country, and the country is better." "Governing the country is regular, and benefiting the people is the foundation." The people are the masters of history and the fundamental force to promote development.

　　From the people, for the people, rely on the people. The Communist Party of China (CPC) is a Marxist political party, whose fundamental purpose is to serve the people wholeheartedly. In the course of more than 90 years’ struggle, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has never forgotten its fundamental purpose and worked hard to benefit the people.

　　The Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee put forward the idea of "adhering to the people-centered development", which embodies Marxist historical materialism and the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly.

　　“以人民为中心的发展思想”，核心是“以人民为中心”。对此，最高领袖总书记在诸多场合予以强调。

　　把人民放在心中最高位置

　　“人民对美好生活的向往，就是我们的奋斗目标。”2012年11月15日，最高领袖在当选中共中央总书记后首次与中外媒体的见面会上，便以这样深情的话语表达了他对人民的感情。

　　“中国梦归根到底是人民的梦”“让老百姓过上好日子是我们一切工作的出发点和落脚点”“把人民放在心中最高位置”“坚持以人民为中心的创作导向”……可以说，“以人民为中心”始终贯穿于中共十八大以来治国理政的理论和实践中。

　　2015年10月，中共十八届五中全会通过了《中共中央关于制定国民经济和社会发展第十三个五年规划的建议》，指出必须坚持以人民为中心的发展思想。

　　此后，在省部级主要领导干部学习贯彻十八届五中全会精神专题研讨班、中央财经领导小组第十二次会议、中共中央政治局集体学习、中央全面深化改革领导小组第二十三次会议、网络安全和信息化工作座谈会等多场重要会议上，以人民为中心的发展思想，被反复提及。

　　People-centered development thought, hit the floor, led the development of China during the 13th Five-Year Plan period and even in the future.

　　The Supreme Leader made an important speech at the celebration of the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC), pointing out that it is our Party’s unswerving goal to lead the people to create a happy life. We should conform to the people’s yearning for a better life, adhere to the people-centered development idea, focus on safeguarding and improving people’s livelihood, develop various social undertakings, increase the adjustment of income distribution, win the tough battle against poverty, ensure people’s equal participation and equal development rights, make the fruits of reform and development benefit all people more fairly, and make steady progress towards the goal of realizing common prosperity for all people.

　　Analysts believe that the people-centered development thought put forward by the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee is the value requirement put forward by the Party for the overall economic and social development at the top design level, and "people-centered" is the value core of the new development concept.

　　Reflected in all aspects of economic and social development.

　　Adhering to the people-centered development thought is not only a major theoretical issue, but also a major practical issue.

　　The Supreme Leader pointed out that the people-centered development thought is not an abstract and abstruse concept, which can not only stay in words and stop at ideological links, but also be reflected in all aspects of economic and social development.

　　In fact, adhering to the people-centered development thought is the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s unswerving pursuit since the founding of the Party. Especially in the new thought and practice of governing the country since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the value orientation of people first and people’s livelihood is always running through.

　　For example, the report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China listed "upholding the people’s dominant position" as the first basic requirement for winning a new victory in Socialism with Chinese characteristics under the new historical conditions, the outline of the 13th Five-Year Plan took "upholding the people’s dominant position" as the first principle that must be followed, and the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee incorporated "sharing" into the new development concept. The CCP put forward the "four comprehensive" strategic layout, emphasizing the building of a well-off society in an all-round way, and must not let difficult areas and people fall behind; To deepen reform in an all-round way, we must constantly enhance the people’s sense of gain; To govern the country in an all-round way according to law, we must strive to make the people feel fair and just; To strictly manage the party in an all-round way, we must maintain the advanced nature and purity of the party and constantly strengthen the flesh-and-blood ties with the people.

　　In concrete practice, no matter the innovation-driven and energetic reform measures, or the overall planning of urban and rural areas, regions, economic society and the development of two civilizations; No matter how to control environmental pollution, conform to people’s expectations for a good ecology, or pay attention to internal and external linkage development, make a big cake and divide the cake more fairly … … All these fully demonstrate the value orientation of "people-centered" and are the concrete embodiment of adhering to the "people-centered development thought".

　　Thoroughly implement the concept of shared development

　　How to implement the "people-centered development thought"? An important aspect and approach is to thoroughly implement the concept of shared development.

　　The supreme leader pointed out that the essence of the sharing concept is to adhere to the people-centered development thought, which embodies the requirement of gradually realizing common prosperity.

　　"In the process of building a well-off society in an all-round way, adhering to the people-centered development thinking, we must take the realization of people’s happiness as the purpose and destination of development, so that all people can have more sense of gain in building and sharing development." Cai Fang, vice president of China Academy of Social Sciences and member of the faculty, analyzed that.

　　In Cai Fang’s view, the way to share the fruits of development with the people requires both the government’s efforts to provide more and more adequate public goods and services and the establishment of the necessary incentive mechanism, so as to gather people’s wisdom as widely as possible, stimulate people’s strength as much as possible, and truly achieve joint construction and sharing.

　　Adhering to the people-centered development thought puts forward new and higher requirements for leading cadres at all levels, which requires them not only to grasp profoundly in thought, but also to actively practice in practice, and to effectively solve practical problems that people are most concerned about, such as education, employment, pension, medical and health care, social security, etc., so that comprehensively deepening reform policies and measures can truly become measures to solve problems for the people and benefit them, so that the fruits of reform and development can benefit all the people more fairly and practically.

　　Zhongxin. com, Guangzhou, May 30 (Reporter Xu Qingqing) The reporter learned from Huangpu Customs on the 30 th that the "HP2023-02" special campaign launched by Huangpu Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau has dispatched 307 police officers to carry out simultaneous arrests and investigations in Beijing, Xi ‘an, Zhuhai, Shenzhen and other places, and arrested 18 suspects, knocked out two smuggling gangs of water passengers in one fell swoop, and seized 100 brands suspected of smuggling imports on the spot.

　　According to reports, in 2022, when the Development Branch of Huangpu Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau was investigating a smuggling case of water passengers, the police handling the case found a large number of clues suspected of smuggling high-end watches from the criminal suspect’s mobile phone. "In the process of operating the clues, we found two smuggling gangs headed by Bai and Yang. The suspect Bai worked in Dubai for five years. During this period, he found that smuggling watches was profitable, so he and his friends Jiang and He jointly engaged in watch smuggling activities. After returning home, Bai and Jiang continued to cooperate and entrusted friends and colleagues abroad to continue to help them buy high-end watches and smuggle them into China for profit. The criminal suspect Yang’s smuggling method is similar to that of Bai’s gang. After buying high-end watches from abroad, they mailed them to Hong Kong and Macao, and then smuggled them into the country by ants moving. " Ye Kai, head of the Anti-smuggling Section of the Development Branch of Huangpu Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau, said.

　　It is reported that since 2020, smuggling criminal gangs have been entrusted by mainland shippers in Guangzhou and other places to purchase high-end brand watches from Japan, Canada and Hong Kong, China, smuggled them into the country through water passengers, and then delivered the smuggled goods to buyers through express delivery channels in the mainland.

　　"In the residence of a suspect, we also seized more than 60 famous watches suspected of smuggling and importing on the spot, with prices above RMB100,000, of which the most expensive watch is worth as much as 3.24 million yuan." Ye Kai said.

　　It is reported that at present, all the suspects involved in the case have arrived. The case is under further investigation.
