Since the official release of SU7 in December, 2023, Xiaomi Automobile has attracted extensive attention from the market with its outstanding performance and cutting-edge technology configuration. Today, Xiaomi Automobile once again shows its confidence and confidence with bright results.

On November 18th, 2024, Xiaomi Group (HK01810) released its financial report for the third quarter of 2024. In this quarter, the revenue of innovative business segments such as Xiaomi Smart Electric Vehicle reached RMB 9.7 billion, which is steadily approaching the 10 billion mark. At the same time, the gross profit margin also increased to 17.1%, and the loss of bicycles was further reduced.

Only one week ago, on November 13th, Xiaomi SU7 ushered in the smooth roll-off of the 100,000 th vehicle, setting a new record for the new car company to roll off the production line of 100,000 vehicles, and creating a brand milestone moment. It is worth mentioning that under the premise of continuous investment in building cars, Xiaomi’s cash reserves continued to rise instead of falling. As of September 30, 2024, the cash reserves reached RMB 151.6 billion, reaching a new high for enterprises.

Under the guidance of the strategy of "people, cars and homes are all ecological", the synergy between Xiaomi Automobile and other business lines of Xiaomi brand has become increasingly prominent. In this quarter, Xiaomi Group achieved the strongest performance in brand history, with total revenue of RMB 92.5 billion and adjusted net profit of RMB 6.3 billion. Among them, the cumulative sales of Xiaomi 15 series products exceeded 1 million units, and the shipments of Xiaomi air conditioners, Xiaomi refrigerators and Xiaomi washing machines also increased at a high speed. In addition, benefiting from the global share increase and the landing of AI applications, as of September 30, 2024, the number of IoT devices (excluding smartphones, tablets and laptops) connected to Xiaomi AIoT platform reached 861 million, a year-on-year increase of 23.2%.

The new quarterly financial report is not only a report card for Xiaomi, but also a new starting point for the future.

With the unique business model and efficient strategy execution ability built in the past five years, Xiaomi has successfully laid out three core growth curves of personal equipment, household equipment and travel equipment, and thus accumulated excellent overall operation ability and high-quality asset resources. Xiaomi’s ability to cope with internal and external uncertainties is also increasing. Standing at a new starting point, young Xiaomi has an infinite future.

Multi-products push together, and "the whole ecology of people, cars and homes" stands at a new high-end starting point.

The era when international brands dominated the high-end market has passed. Under the background of intensified global competition and rapid changes in market demand, domestic independent brands in the fields of automobiles, mobile phones and household appliances are actively promoting high-end strategies and showing strong growth momentum. Under the push of multiple products, in the third quarter of 2024, Xiaomi’s "people, cars and homes are all ecological" stood at a high-end new starting point, and its business growth was full of vitality.

According to the report of Jielan Road, in 2024, the share of China’s self-owned cars in the market of more than 200,000 yuan increased sharply, especially in the price range of 200,000 yuan to 600,000 yuan, and the share increased by three to four times, and the luxury and ultra-luxury markets also achieved breakthroughs. As a new entrant, Xiaomi Automobile has also gained a foothold in the high-end market.

In particular, Xiaomi SU7 Ultra not only set a new record for the fastest four-door car in New North in October, but also harvested more than 3,680 small orders within 10 minutes of the initial pre-sale at a pre-sale price of 814,900 yuan, which undoubtedly indicates the great potential of Xiaomi Automobile in the high-end market. In this quarter, the delivery volume of Xiaomi SU7 reached 39,790 vehicles, and the monthly production and delivery exceeded 20,000 vehicles, and the loss of bicycles continued to narrow. In 2024, Xiaomi Automobile made every effort to sprint 130,000 delivery targets.

High-end strategy is the only way for Xiaomi to develop. President of Xiaomi GroupLu WeibingIt is emphasized that high-end is based on long-term strategic determination and patience, and continuous investment in core business. The success of Xiaomi mobile phone series 15 once again reflects the return of investment.

Xiaomi 15 series entered the market at a starting price of 4,499 yuan, but achieved a breakthrough in the shipment of 1 million units at a faster speed. During the Double Eleven period, it won the double crown in the price range of 4,000-5,999 yuan. According to third-party data, in the high-end smartphone market of 3,000 yuan and above, the proportion of millet shipments increased by 7.9 percentage points year-on-year to 20.1%, and the market share of the price segment of 4,000-5,000 yuan was as high as 22.6%, which shows that the market recognized the high-end products of Xiaomi mobile phones.

Of course, for consumers, what they are more concerned about is whether they can get matching product functions and service experiences or even exceed expectations in the context of rising prices of high-end brands. Mijia smart home appliances just confirms Xiaomi’s business philosophy of taking users as the center and constantly enhancing its self-developed technical strength.

In October, 2024, Xiaomi dual-zone washing and drying washing machine was released, and its function and mentality innovation hit the hearts of many users. This year’s Double Eleven, 15kg washing and drying of Mijia washing machine was the first in JD.COM. In the third quarter, in terms of shipments, the shipments of Xiaomi air conditioners exceeded 1.7 million units, a year-on-year increase of over 55%; Refrigerator shipments exceeded 810,000 units, a year-on-year increase of over 20%; The shipment of washing machines exceeded 480,000 units, a year-on-year increase of over 50%.

Many head organizations are optimistic about the development prospects of Xiaomi. Bank of China International, China Merchants International and other institutions all believe that under Xiaomi’s "people, cars and homes are all ecological" system, its mobile phone /AIoT basic disk business will continue to be strong, and EV business will grow rapidly. Institutions such as Citigroup and HSBC also gave Xiaomi a "buy" rating. Xiaomi’s performance and user scale are expected to continue to grow at a high speed.

The proportion of female powder has increased, and the user layer has broken the circle to incite new business.

The implementation of the high-end strategy not only promoted the expansion of Xiaomi’s user base, but also quietly changed its user portrait. Xiaomi, once regarded as the exclusive "technology man", is now frequently favored by female users, Apple users and camera enthusiasts, and the multi-user layer breaks the circle to incite new business growth for Xiaomi.

According to official data, as of November 16th, Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, which was released only half a month ago, has been booked by 10% female users. Xiaomi SU7 series is deeply loved by female users because of its two highlights of sun protection and storage, and the actual female users account for over 50%.

With the release of 澎湃 OS 2.0 and its high compatibility with Apple Ecology, Xiaomi is expected to further attract more women and Apple users. According to the data released by Xiaomi Group, more than 56% of the users of Xiaomi SU7 were originally Apple users.

In addition, as the brand’s first small folding screen mobile phone, the proportion of female consumers of MIX Flip small folding mobile phone is as high as 55%, and 32% of them used to be iPhone users. The launch of Xiaomi 15 Diamond Limited Edition and other products has further consolidated its position in the hearts of female users.

Since the official release of Xiaomi MIX Flip in July this year, it has won the love of female consumers with its fashionable flip design and lightweight and portable body. It provides purple and black color choices, which meet the aesthetic needs of different female users. Nowadays, on the social media platform, "Xiaomi small folding bag" has become a hot topic, with social attributes and emotional values overlapping.

In terms of images, Xiaomi Mix Flip also performed well. It is equipped with a pair of 50 million Leica rear cameras, including a main camera and a 2 x telephoto lens, which can capture photos with accurate colors and rich details. According to IDC, a market research organization, in the third quarter of 2024, Xiaomi ranked third in the domestic folding screen mobile phone market, reaching 17.2%. Compared with the previous quarter, the sales of Xiaomi folding screen mobile phone achieved an amazing growth of 1128.6% from the previous quarter.

In 2023, Xiaomi 14 series began to benchmark Apple. As the brand’s latest flagship mobile phone, Xiaomi 14Ultra has also been upgraded again in terms of images. This model is equipped with a top-notch optical system, and the light input is increased by 136%, which is more than twice that of iPhone 15 Pro Max. The high-pixel main camera, ultra-wide angle and telephoto lens equipped with this model all adopt top-level coating technology to reduce dispersion distortion. Combined with precise optical path design, natural high-quality photos can be produced directly, leading the new trend of mobile phone photography.

After the popularity of explosive products is rapidly opened, Xiaomi, as a technology brand that pursues innovation and faces the future, will communicate and talk with multi-user groups from a more open and inclusive perspective, penetrate into consumers’ minds and form a siphon effect, and drive the product marketing strategy of the whole technology industry to update and iterate.

Brand power jumps to a new high and promotes long-term high-quality development.

The past five years have been a link between the preceding and the following five years for Xiaomi. Lu Weibing said, "At the ability level, we have made great efforts to improve our system, process, informationization, organization and talent construction, which has laid a solid foundation for our long-term sustained and high-quality development."

In 2024, Xiaomi successfully ranked 87th in Interbrand’s "Best Brand List in the World in 2024", and continued to win Forbes’ "Best Employer" and "Most Popular Employer for Employees" awards, which indicated that Xiaomi’s brand power was significantly improved around the world. Behind the achievements is the comprehensive progress and deep integration of Xiaomi in many dimensions such as product strength, communication strength and marketing strength.

Xiaomi knows that the product strength of science and technology products comes from continuous R&D investment. In the third quarter of 2024, Xiaomi’s R&D expenditure reached RMB 6 billion, a year-on-year increase of 19.9%, and the total number of R&D personnel also increased to 20,436.

Continuous investment in key areas such as AI, OS and chips has brought fruitful results to Xiaomi. The pre-research and release of intelligent chassis technology has laid a solid foundation for the realization of fully automatic driving and promoted the deep integration of Xiaomi’s strategy of "people, cars and homes are all ecological". At the same time, Xiaomi’s intelligent driving technology has also entered a new stage. Xiaomi’s intelligent driving has fully accessed the end-to-end big model and named it HAD. At the end of December 2024, it began to push the pioneer version. As of November 14, 2024, the active rate of Xiaomi’s intelligent driving was over 85%.

Xiaomi Smart Home Appliances’ self-research technology capability is also improving in an all-round way. On October 27th, 2024, Xiaomi Smart Home Appliances Experimental Center was officially unveiled in Wuhan, with a total investment of RMB 120 million.

Xiaomi 澎湃 OS 2 was officially released in October 2024, which brought a brand-new advanced experience to users around the world in terms of basic experience, cross-end Zhilian and AI experience. This is also an important step for Xiaomi to move towards the whole AI ecology.

Xiaomi’s continuous investment in high-end products and the high-end transformation of brand image have won it a wider audience base. In September 2024, the number of monthly active users of Xiaomi reached a new high of 686 million, up 10.1% year-on-year, and the Chinese mainland market also reached 168 million, up 10.6% year-on-year. In terms of communication with users, Xiaomi’s new retail strategy has played a pivotal role.

With the deepening of Xiaomi’s new retail strategy, the online and offline sales channels of Xiaomi noodles have been comprehensively broadened. The cross-selling strategy of products, as well as innovative measures such as the integration of sales and warehouse and packaging have also effectively improved the brand’s marketing ability, making Xiaomi House an important window to attract users and promoting Xiaomi’s pursuit of ultimate benefits and user experience. This year, Xiaomi Home ushered in a large-scale expansion and upgrade, and it is expected to reach 15,000 stores by the end of the year, providing users with more opportunities to contact and experience Xiaomi products.

It is reported that Xiaomi plans to expand Xiaomi Home to 20,000 stores next year, and actively promote the layout of overseas markets, aiming to bring the excellent experience of "people, cars and homes are all ecological" to more consumers around the world. Although this goal is quite challenging, the current science and technology industry is still undergoing great changes and has broad development prospects. Facing the rising opportunity of the times, the young and ambitious Xiaomi is moving towards the goal of "becoming a new generation of hard-core technology leader in the world" and starting a new journey at a more steady pace.

According to the plan, the expert group of the International Atomic Energy Agency will inspect the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on the 15th and exchange views with Tokyo Electric Power Company and other parties.

　　In April 2021, the Japanese government issued the basic policy on sewage treatment of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Since then, the Japanese government has made a request to the International Atomic Energy Agency, hoping that the International Atomic Energy Agency will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the safety of the measures.

　　In this assessment, the International Atomic Energy Agency needs to make a series of assessments on the necessity and safety of the sea discharge scheme in the next few years.

　　According to reports, in November 2021, members of the International Atomic Energy Agency and its special working group attended the relevant preparatory meeting held in Tokyo, and discussed and reached a consensus on the tasks, technical issues and specific agenda of the investigation team.

　　During this visit to Japan, the investigation team of the International Atomic Energy Agency plans to evaluate all aspects of nuclear sewage treatment, the sea discharge plan, relevant data and relevant documents, and investigate whether the follow-up treatment measures of the Fukushima nuclear power plant meet relevant international standards. The proposal of discharging the nuclear sewage into the sea, including the composition of the nuclear sewage, the safety of the discharge process, and the feasibility of monitoring the nuclear polluted water, needs to be evaluated. In addition, in order to ensure public health and environmental safety, it is necessary to evaluate the environmental impact of radiation.

　　In response to this investigation, Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, requested the establishment of a special investigation team, including the IAEA secretariat and its members, as well as external experts with different technologies and research expertise who participated in their personal capacity.

　　Members of the International Atomic Energy Agency expressed the hope that the assessment work of the investigation team was based on science, objectivity and credibility, and could transmit transparent information to the outside world.

　　International experts from Australia, Canada and Marshall Islands were unable to participate in the survey due to various reasons, such as international travel restrictions under the COVID-19 epidemic. They will express their opinions on the relevant situation after the mission. (Headquarters reporter He Xinlei)

　　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.

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".

　　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 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.

　　　　　　 CCTV News:In 2020, the navy focused on mission training to prepare for war, and solidly carried out basic training based on ability and practical case training based on task. Military training has made deep progress in actual combat year by year, and it has developed by leaps and bounds to informationization. The winning ability and actual combat level of the troops have been significantly improved.

　　　　　　 Recently, Shandong ship has conducted a series of experimental training in a certain sea area of Bohai Sea. This mission adopts the method of multi-module synchronous training, and specializes in subjects such as leaving the dock at night, sailing in narrow waterways, maritime search and rescue, and damage management in battle positions.

　　　　　　 This is the cross-regional maneuver training of Liaoning carrier formation in May this year. The formation consisting of Liaoning ship and several escort ships sailed through the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, the South China Sea and the West Pacific Ocean for more than a month, and carried out practical training in various subjects such as formation attack and defense, take-off and landing of J -15 carrier-based fighters, which effectively tested the overall combat capability of the aircraft carrier formation, and effectively improved the information countermeasures and electronic countermeasures capabilities in complex electromagnetic environment.

　　　　　　 With the cross-regional maneuver training of Liaoning ship again and again, the training level of carrier-based aircraft has continuously made new breakthroughs, and the integration ability of ship and aircraft has achieved a new leap. At present, several J -15 carrier-based fighter pilots have obtained the qualification certification for boarding at night, becoming one of the few countries in the world to master the technology of taking off and landing at night for carrier-based fighter pilots.

　　　　　　 In 2020, the newly-listed fleet of 10,000-ton destroyer Nanchang Ship, Chengdu Ship and Datong Ship conducted multi-disciplinary exercises such as attacking the sea, fighting against the sea, air defense and anti-missile, etc. In the continuous days of sea training, the ability of new ships to perform various combat tasks was effectively tested by setting difficult conditions, setting strong opponents, and training live ammunition on the shore day and night.

　　　　　　 Focusing on innovative ways and means to improve the quality and efficiency of training is a useful exploration for the navy to promote the development of actual combat training at all levels in recent years. Not long ago, the naval air force in the Eastern Theater broke the free air combat training mode of the same type of aircraft, and organized two types and three generations of aircraft to conduct free air combat training on the same site for several days in a row, exploring a new training mode of two types and three generations of crew. By mixing aircraft types, we can give full play to the mechanical advantages of each aircraft type and maximize the combat effectiveness of formation. Since the adjustment and formation of the Marine Corps in 2017, taking the opportunity of cross-regional base training and actual combat training on the seashore, the Marine Corps has organized large-scale training for all posts in the whole system by means of mixed training, and has successively gone to training grounds in northern Myanmar, Weibei and western Guangdong for cross-regional actual combat training, which has greatly improved its ability to carry out combat missions in a larger space, a wider region and a more complex environment.

　　　　　　 The naval forces have organized hundreds of actual combat drills such as sea assault, anti-submarine, amphibious, submarine rescue and other opportunities by taking advantage of escort in the open sea and combat readiness patrol. In mid-October this year, the 35th naval escort formation successfully completed the 170-day non-port escort mission. Basic training such as main and auxiliary gun shooting, light weapons shooting, damage control drills and practical training such as rescue of hijacked ships and cooperative anti-piracy between ships and aircraft were carried out, which tested the ability of the formation to carry out diversified tasks under complex conditions.

　　　　　　 From basic training to real case training, from training to actual combat tasks, the People’s Navy has achieved remarkable results in various trainings. Since the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", the naval forces have participated in more than 200 exercises, and divisions and brigades have conducted more than 3,000 mass training competitions, with more than 800,000 officers and men participating in the training. The training intensity, difficulty conditions, confrontation intensity and research depth of the troops have reached a new high.

　　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.

　　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. "
