Huawei HarmonyOS system will be available as soon as this autumn! Can it break the record of BABA.US)YunOS?

This article comes from WeChat WeChat official account "national business daily".

Recently, social media such as friends circle were screened by a short film "Wukong".

The film tells the story that the hero, a little boy, loves the Monkey King since he was a child and wants to go to the cinema in the city to see "Make a scene in Heaven". The core of the film focuses on the juvenile spirit of "I don’t know much about heaven".

N+ Finance understands that although this short film did not directly reveal too much information about Huawei itself, it still caused a lot of interpretations, which is undoubtedly the expectation of HarmonyOS system and even Huawei.

On May 21st, Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei’s consumer business, revealed:"As soon as this fall, at the latest next spring, Huawei’s own OS will probably be available.. "

In fact, the domestic mobile operating system has been tried by many manufacturers before. The giants include Baidu (BIDU.US) cloud OS and Tencent (00700)TOS, and the entrepreneurial team once had a little heart OS and Le Frog OS. And the most brilliant achievement belongs to Ali:

At the end of 2015,BABA.US) YunOS surpassed WP to become the third largest mobile operating system in China with a market share of 7.1%., second only to Android and iOS.

Now, times have changed, and Huawei HarmonyOS, burdened with the expectations of Chinese people, can make a scene like Wukong mentioned in the promotional film and fight its way out in the rivers and lakes of the mobile phone operating system?

In the short film Wukong, the little boy, obsessed with the Monkey King, is bent on going to see the Monkey King’s movie in the big city where "there is only one way to go over the back mountain and two more mountains, and it takes one night by car". He goes out alone, encounters a series of "adventures" and finally arrives at his destination in rags.

Some netizens commented that the spirit of the little boy and the spirit of Wukong are in the same strain, and the shadow can also be seen in Huawei.

Huawei officially released the film on May 23rd.

At the same time, Huawei announced that its "spare tire" had turned positive, and its self-developed Hisilicon chip and self-developed operating system "HarmonyOS" attracted much attention. This short film also triggered speculation about HarmonyOS system.

Huawei rarely makes statements to confirm or completely deny the rumors of HarmonyOS system. Ren Zhengfei, founder of Huawei, said in an interview with national business daily on May 21st:

We can do the operating system, but it is not necessarily a substitute for others.Because we also need it in artificial intelligence and the Internet of Everything, but I don’t know exactly which ones are used and which ones aren’t. "

At the same time, he did not disclose whether HarmonyOS has been used in a small scale within Huawei.

Compared with Huawei’s low profile, "HarmonyOS" system keeps making new progress. On May 24th,The website of China National Intellectual Property Administration Trademark Office shows that Huawei has applied for the "Huawei HarmonyOS" trademark.. The application date is August 24, 2018, the registration announcement date is May 14, 2019, and the exclusive permission period is from May 14, 2019 to May 13, 2029.

Then, on May 29th, it was reported that a few days ago, Huawei submitted a trademark application for "HUAWEI ARK OS" to the European Intellectual Property Office, and "ARK" means "Ark" in English.

At the beginning of June, it was reported from the media that Huawei has started to test the mobile phones that will be equipped with HarmonyOS system, and the number of mobile phones in the test stage has reached one million. At the same time, Huawei also released the interface picture of HarmonyOS system, which is very similar to the current Huawei EMUI. The function arrangement, status bar, font layout and key color matching are almost identical.

On June 3rd, Huawei told N+ Finance that "we haven’t heard of it at all, so we can’t comment" on the rumor of testing HarmonyOS system on 1 million mobile phones.

It is understood that Huawei has been planning its own operating system "HarmonyOS" since 2012, aiming to become a substitute for Google’s Android system.

As for HarmonyOS, it is reported that the operating system has been greatly optimized for Linux (open source) and has been used in Huawei mobile phones (security part).

Combined with such news, Huawei’s HarmonyOS system comes to the fore. Tim Watkins, vice president of Huawei’s Western European market, has previously confirmed to the media that Huawei has been developing an operating system and will launch it soon.

Operating system is the soul of smart phone. As far as the current market is concerned, operating systems are mainly divided into two schools.They are Apple’s iOS system and Google’s Android system, which have a market share of 99%.

Since Apple’s iOS system is only for its own use and not open to other mobile phone manufacturers, Android system has become the only choice for many mobile phone manufacturers in China. Huawei’s EMUI system, Xiaomi’s MIUI system and vivo’s Fun touch OS system are all deeply developed based on Android system.

Wei Yongming, CEO of Feiman Software, wrote an article in 2012, "Why does Huawei Alibaba have to engage in an" independent "operating system? What is the soul of the operating system? ",the article said that taking Android as an example, the operating system open source license constraint is very loose, but:

"Google has certainly accumulated a large number of patents in the process of developing Android, especially Dalvik virtual machine and Java class library, and these patents are above the copyright and license of the software. In other words, if you derive a branch from the existing Android,If you want to sell the software running this derivative version of Android on your mobile phone, Google can immediately take out a patent stick to limit you."

According to Yu Chengdong’s description of HarmonyOS system, all Huawei mobile phones will be equipped with self-developed OS system in the future.Huawei’s self-developed operating system has opened up electronic devices such as mobile phones, computers, cars and tablets, and has been able to support a new software ecosystem for Huawei.

However, at present, the operating system has been occupied by Android and iOS. In order to occupy a place in Huawei’s HarmonyOS system, the first thing to be solved is the problem of software compatibility. After all, no company will adapt software for a system that is not used by many people.

In the research report "From Operating System to Chip-Counting is still stuck in the neck field (I)" released by China Merchants Securities in August 2018, it is pointed out that compared with foreign countries, the technical development of operating system is not a difficulty, nor is it a core factor restricting the development of domestic operating systems.

"The main reason why it can’t occupy a place in the market is that the domestic operating system lacks the ecological environment for high-quality applications."

At present, there are some doubts about the expansion of Huawei’s HarmonyOS system. Before Huawei’s "HarmonyOS", other domestic manufacturers tried to develop their own operating systems, but they didn’t really grow up in the end.

For example, Alibaba Yun OS once occupied 7% of the domestic mobile phone operating system market share from 2014 to 2015, which was also the "peak moment" of the domestic mobile phone system, but then the market share declined rapidly.

Yesterday, Xiang Ligang, the founder of Feixiang.com, expressed another view to N+ Finance. In his view,Huawei has shipped 200 million mobile phones this year, and Apple also has 200 million mobile phones. "Apple’s ecology can be done. Why can’t Huawei be an ecology?"

He said that the outside world’s doubts about Huawei HarmonyOS are mainly at two levels. First, many operating systems, including Windows, have not been done; Second, many people may not develop applications for Huawei systems.

Xiang Ligang said that Windows appeared earlier than Android, and then Android overtook it. The reason why it is not done well is becauseWindows is unfriendly to developers, with poor interface experience and poor interaction ability.

"Windows also charges mobile phone manufacturers, and of course it doesn’t do well. Huawei certainly does not have the problem of charging for its own use.Huawei’s understanding of the operating system has been very profound. And made a new compiler, which is compatible with Android applications.So it’s easy to build HarmonyOS, and I don’t think there is any problem. "

"Many people may not support Huawei’s application.But if Huawei sells hundreds of millions of mobile phones a year, why not apply it?If these applications are very difficult to do, then the current applications are Android, and they can be compatible by running the compiler once. "Xiang Ligang said.

Sun yanbiao, dean of the first mobile phone research institute, believes that the operating system mainly depends on the construction of ecology, and it takes time to build ecology. It took Apple four or five years to build its own ecology, and Android also took four or five years.Under the existing operating system, it will take two to three years for HarmonyOS to do it, and this time is inevitable.

"Why should Internet APP developers develop corresponding apps? This needs to be based on a large user base. What the new ecology often lacks most is the user group. Only by having a large user group can we make a profit, which is essentially a problem of Internet effect. In addition, the ecology that Huawei HarmonyOS needs to build is not only China, but also overseas, so it takes time. "

Sun Yanbiao emphasized that Huawei’s HarmonyOS system could not build a strong ecosystem in a short time, and the construction of this ecosystem was a slow process. "At that time, when Android was going to be an ecosystem, almost all mobile phones except Apple used Android’s operating system, but even in this case, it took almost four years for Android to sprout to rival Apple’s operating system."

Xiang Ligang also told reporters that after the release of the HarmonyOS system, it will change the market structure of global operating systems. HarmonyOS system appears after Android and Windows, and its understanding of operating systems is definitely deeper than that of Android.

"Huawei itself said that if you run it with a compiler, you can improve the efficiency by 60%. Android needs a virtualizer, and it doesn’t start the compiler from the bottom at all, while the HarmonyOS system starts compiling from the bottom, and the efficiency is definitely better than Android. " Xiang Ligang said.

In addition to Huawei, new news has also come from the operating system field.

On May 25th, the media revealed that KaiOS Technologies, the manufacturer of the third largest mobile phone operating system in the world, had received a $50 million financing in Series B..

In addition, ZTE is also developing a mobile phone operating system based on independent intellectual property rights. The industry believes that the operating system may show a diversified trend and is expected to usher in a new round of competition.

The latest news is that on May 31st, it was reported that Mate 20 Pro, which was previously removed by Google, was back, and it continued to support the latest Android Q Beta.

Earlier, Google’s parent company Alphabet announced that it would stop some cooperation with Huawei and erase the name of Huawei Mate 20 Pro on the Android Q Beta page.

Help the superior and limit the inferior! The delisting system is playing a "purifier" role in the A-share market.

  The essence of the reform of registration system is to hand over the right of choice to the market, strengthen market constraints and rule of law constraints, and improve the convenience of investment and financing. With the end of the 2022 annual report disclosure season, a number of listed companies will withdraw from the A-share market. According to incomplete statistics, since the beginning of this year, the number of A-share delisted companies has reached more than 30.

  Insiders pointed out that the delisting system is an important supporting institutional arrangement for the implementation of the registration system. The regulatory authorities will further improve the delisting mechanism, improve the delisting standards and simplify the delisting process, which will help to create a good A-share market ecology under the comprehensive registration system, better protect the legitimate rights and interests of investors and provide a stage for the high-quality development of more high-quality enterprises.

  Metabolism and delisting efficiency are improved.

  At the end of 2020, in order to implement the Implementation Plan for Improving the delisting mechanism of listed companies, which was decided and deployed by the 16th meeting of the Central Committee for Deep Reform, the relevant departments formulated and formed four types of mandatory delisting indicators, such as trading, finance, regulation and major violations, and incorporated them into the new delisting rules. Nowadays, the delisting system is constantly playing the role of market "purifier".

  According to the information released by Shanghai Stock Exchange, since the beginning of this year, 12 companies on the main board of Shanghai Stock Exchange have been locked out of listing, and 17 companies have been warned of delisting risks. The diversified delisting system has shown its power, delisting has gradually become normal, and the mechanism of survival of the fittest has become more stable.

  According to the data of Shenzhen Stock Exchange, in 2022, a total of 24 companies in Shenzhen were forced to delist, and the number of delisted companies was close to the sum of the past three years. As of April 30, 2023, Shenzhen identified 20 delisting companies, the number of which was basically the same as that of the previous year, and the normalized delisting mechanism operated in an orderly manner.

  So, what kind of companies will withdraw from the A-share market?

  Some are difficult to win the favor of investors. Not long ago, the daily closing price of *ST Xiyuan shares for 20 consecutive trading days was lower than that of RMB 1 yuan, which touched the conditions for termination of listing. Behind the delisting of transactions is the deterioration of business conditions. Relevant reports show that *ST Xiyuan’s main business is missing, its operation is stagnant, its net assets are negative, its large debts are unable to repay, its major assets and subsidiaries’ equity are frozen by the judiciary, and there are many major uncertainties related to going concern.

  Some information disclosure does not conform to the norms. In the audit report issued for the future of *ST, Asia Pacific (Group) Certified Public Accountants (special general partnership) said frankly: "We can’t obtain the upstream and downstream penetration data of customers and suppliers related to coal trade, the entry and exit data and logistics data of original suppliers and end users, and we can’t verify the authenticity and accuracy of income, and we can’t verify the authenticity, accuracy and recoverability of accounts receivable generated by coal trade. Due to the above restrictions on the audit scope, we failed to implement the necessary audit procedures to obtain sufficient and appropriate evidence for expressing opinions. "

  Some of the main business income is lower than the listing requirements. *ST Shennan disclosed in the announcement that the company’s net profit before and after deducting non-recurring gains and losses in 2021 was negative, and the operating income after deducting business income unrelated to the main business and income without commercial substance was less than 100 million yuan. In 2022, the company’s audited net profit was negative and its operating income was less than 100 million yuan. This situation touches on the relevant provisions of the listing rules of Shenzhen Stock Exchange on the termination of listing.

  There are also false records in the annual reports of listed companies for many years, and the actual controller was investigated by the Securities and Futures Commission for alleged information disclosure violations. These triggered the relevant provisions of "mandatory delisting for major violations".

  "The delisting system is an important basic system of the capital market. Under the background of comprehensive registration system, timely realize the ‘ Jin ’ ‘ with the problem enterprise; Back ’ It is conducive to shaping a healthy and upward capital market atmosphere and better protecting the rights and interests of investors. " Ceng Gang, director of Shanghai Finance and Development Laboratory, told this reporter.

  Serve entities and save financing resources.

  Economic activity is a dynamic cycle process, and realizing a virtuous cycle of savings and investment is the most basic and important part. The data shows that from 2017 to 2021, the initial public offering (IPO) and refinancing amount totaled 5.2 trillion yuan, providing efficient financial support for strategic emerging industries and a large number of high-quality enterprises.

  — — The delisting system plays a better role and can form a positive guide to the market.

  According to Wang Yi, chief strategy researcher of Huatai Securities Research Institute, since the implementation of the new delisting rules, A shares have gradually formed a diversified delisting mechanism and played a role as a "purifier". On the issuing side, the new regulations have successfully cracked down on the malicious behavior of shell companies to avoid delisting through stricter financial audit. At the same time, the period from identification to delisting of shell companies will be shortened to two fiscal years to speed up the liquidation of problem companies. On the investment side, under the clear expectation of "all should be retired", the speculative mentality of companies with small market value and poor performance has been effectively curbed, and the risk events of listed companies have been paid more attention to, and the investment concept has become more mature.

  "Relevant data show that since the implementation of the new round of delisting reform on December 31, 2020, the pace of delisting has obviously accelerated. In 2021, 17 companies were forced to withdraw from the market, and in 2022, 42 companies were forced to withdraw from the market. The number of delisting companies in these two years accounted for 40% of the total number of delisting companies in the past 30 years." Wang Yi told this reporter that the withdrawal of problem companies means that more funds will be invested in high-quality companies, and the rate of return on irrational investment will be further reduced, which is conducive to guiding the whole market to form the concept of value investment.

  — — The delisting system plays a better role and can allocate financial resources efficiently.

  Zhao Xijun, co-dean of China Capital Market Research Institute of Renmin University of China, said in an interview with this reporter that delisting companies generally have problems such as poor operating conditions, false financial data, and doubtful ability to continue operations.

  Zhao Xijun believes that the comprehensive registration system has opened the door to accelerated development for more high-quality enterprises. The timely withdrawal of "sick" enterprises from the capital market will play a warning role for the whole market, so that listed and unlisted enterprises can strengthen their awareness of legal compliance and dispel the lucky psychology of "circling money on the market" and "getting something for nothing", thus purifying the market ecology and improving the overall quality of listed companies. Not only that, the delisting system will play the role of "purifier", and it will also enable enterprises that really do business in a down-to-earth manner to obtain a good direct financing environment, thus driving the development of the industry and even the upstream and downstream industries, and realizing the ultimate goal of the capital market to better serve the high-quality development of the real economy.

  "The delisting system, the issuance system, the trust system and the trading system together constitute the basic system of the capital market. To ensure the good operation of the delisting system is to better allocate valuable financial resources to the places that enterprises really need and promote them to create greater value. " Zhao Xijun said.

  Support the superior and limit the inferior, and the supervision is not loose.

  Promoting the high-quality development of listed companies is a complex systematic project and a long-term and arduous task. The CSRC stressed that it is necessary to adhere to the supervision orientation of supporting the superior and limiting the inferior, and further support the head enterprises with outstanding main business and strong competitiveness to become superior and strong, and play a leading role in demonstration; For those who unilaterally pursue diversified development, strictly supervise their mergers and acquisitions and financing behavior; For "shell" and "zombie" enterprises whose main business is shrinking and they do not have the ability to continue to operate, the compulsory delisting system will be strictly implemented and the liquidation will be resolutely promoted.

  What are the new highlights and trends in the implementation of delisting system? The reporter interviewed Shanghai Stock Exchange and Shenzhen Stock Exchange respectively.

  According to the relevant person in charge of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the Shanghai Stock Exchange has carefully formulated and implemented the Work Plan for Auditing the 2022 Annual Report of Venture Companies in Shanghai Stock Exchange, and promoted the supervision of venture companies in stages and with emphasis according to the principle of "moving forward, grasping early and grasping small". On the one hand, through supervision means such as inquiry, interview and on-site inspection, we will crack down on evading delisting; On the other hand, according to the regulations, we will push forward the major illegal delisting of companies such as *ST Amethyst and *ST Zeda as soon as possible, and implement investor protection measures.

  "Under the background of the reform of the comprehensive registration system, the Shanghai Stock Exchange will continue to adhere to the main business of supervision and smooth the delisting of enterprises ‘ Exit ’ , and constantly improve the delisting risk identification, delisting risk warning, delisting disposal cooperation, delisting decision implementation, delisting business safety operation, delisting supervision and honest supervision and other major delisting mechanisms, and give full play to the joint efforts of supervision to ensure ‘ Retreat, retreat steadily ’ . At the same time, establish a sound evaluation mechanism for delisting system, regularly summarize and evaluate the implementation of delisting indicators, continuously improve the pertinence and effectiveness of delisting indicators, and promote the deepening of delisting system reform. " The person in charge said.

  The relevant person in charge of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange said that in order to deal with the delisting risk steadily, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange found out the delisting risk base in advance, strengthened the delisting risk monitoring, kept a close eye on the key issues of key companies, and adopted various measures such as interviews and inquiries according to regulations, clarified the regulatory attitude, conveyed the regulatory guidance, and urged the "key minority" of the company and accountants to perform their duties diligently, return to their posts and fulfill their duties, and solidly promoted the delisting supervision work.

  "At the beginning of January this year, Shenzhen Stock Exchange issued the Notice on Strengthening the Information Disclosure of the 2022 Annual Report of Delisting Risk Companies on the basis of summarizing the previous supervision experience of delisting and fully evaluating the implementation effect of the new delisting regulations. Focusing on the key issues such as operating income deduction, non-recurring gains and losses identification, audit opinion types and abnormal financial treatment, information disclosure is the starting point to urge companies with delisting risks to continue to make risk warnings, strengthen the disclosure of annual reports and audit progress, and guide the market to form reasonable expectations. At the same time, delisting decisions are made in strict accordance with delisting standards and procedures, and relief procedures such as hearing and review are provided. " The person in charge said that next, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange will continue to pay close attention to front-line supervision, maintain the normal order of the market, protect the legitimate rights and interests of investors, and promote the long-term healthy and stable development of the capital market.

  Zhu Haibin, general manager of the research center of open source securities North Exchange, said that under the comprehensive registration system, listed companies need to continuously strengthen corporate governance, and companies to be listed should improve the quality of information disclosure. Enterprises that have been delisted should also reflect on it in time, do a good job in information disclosure in the delisting sector and seek positive changes in their main business. At the same time, securities companies, accounting firms, law firms and other intermediaries should also perform their respective duties, give full play to their respective professional advantages, and undertake the responsibility of checking and supervising the relevant listed entities, so that the capital market can truly form a virtuous circle of survival of the fittest.

Guo Huadong: Earth Big Data promotes the sustainable development of the Belt and Road Initiative.

  How does the "Digital Silk Road" help realize the goal of sustainable development? Guo Huadong, an academician of the China Academy of Sciences, said here on the 7th that the realization of sustainable development goals and specific indicators requires actions at the global, national and local levels, and big earth data can provide information, goals and assistance for these efforts and activities.
  The second Digital China Construction Summit is being held in Fuzhou, and the A-class strategic pilot science and technology project "Earth Big Data Science Project" of China Academy of Sciences brought scientific research results to the summit.
  Earth big data is the big data formed by the intersection and integration of earth science, information science and space science and technology. The data comes from but is not limited to space-based observation data, but also includes land, ocean, atmosphere and data related to human activities.
  Guo Huadong, head of the project, chairman of the Digital Silk Road International Science Program and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was interviewed by a reporter from China News Service during the summit, and talked about how to conduct research based on the global big data project and the digital "Belt and Road" project to provide decision support and technical support for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
  Guo Huadong pointed out that big data on earth is one of the key core technologies to realize the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It is the common demand of the countries along the Belt and Road to bring the global big data into the process of sustainable development and realize the coordinated development of society, culture, environment and ecology in the region and across countries through the advanced scientific and technological support of the global big data.
  In 2016, China scientists initiated the Digital Silk Road International Science Program (DBAR) to realize the scientific service of global big data in the sustainable development goal of "Belt and Road" by sharing data, experience, technology and knowledge, and 53 countries, international organizations and international programs participated in it. At present, China Academy of Sciences has allocated more than 200 million yuan in the next five years to support the implementation of the DBAR plan.
  "The DBAR plan will systematically monitor the status quo and evolution pattern of different ecosystems in the Belt and Road, including grasslands, forests, glaciers, cities, farmland and coastal zones." Guo Huadong said that the continuous accumulation, opening and sharing of global big data is an important resource and driving force to promote the development of digital "Belt and Road" scientific and technological innovation.
  In January 2019, the DBAR earth big data system platform was officially launched. The system includes thematic data sets such as resources, environment, climate, disasters and heritage in the "Belt and Road" region, and 57 types of independent intellectual property data products. The shared data exceeds 120 trillion bytes, which can realize the browsing of basic geographic data throughout the "Belt and Road".
  In January 2018, China Academy of Sciences launched the A-class strategic science and technology pilot project "Earth Big Data Science Project", aiming at building the world’s leading Earth Big Data platform and database, and promoting technological innovation, major scientific discoveries and one-stop all-round macro-decision support of Earth Big Data.
  Guo Huadong said that in 2019, the core work of the Global Big Data Project will be the construction of "five balls, one satellite, one facility and 6SDG", and research will be carried out on several SDG targets, and efforts will be made to promote the monitoring and evaluation of six SDG indicators of the Global Big Data Service SDG2 Zero Hunger, SDG6 Water Resources, SDG11 Urbanization, SDG13 Climate Action, SDG14 Marine Ecology and SDG15 Terrestrial Ecology.
  According to Guo Huadong, from 2018 to 2019, the earth big data technology was specially used to dynamically monitor the construction status of 127 overseas industrial parks in China from the establishment of the park to the end of 2018, and to monitor and evaluate the distribution pattern, development trends, construction status, resource endowment, risk status, ecological environment and socio-economic impact of overseas industrial parks in China.
  At the same time, help those developing countries without technical and financial resources to monitor their urban development and study the relationship between land use rate and population growth rate; The evolution characteristics of giant panda habitat in China in recent 40 years were evaluated, which provided methods and data support for the realization of the biodiversity goal of SDG15 of the United Nations. Customize the special Portuguese agricultural monitoring system, carry out detailed agricultural monitoring training for Mozambique, and continuously provide solid technical support and decision support for promoting technological innovation in the field of earth big data and achieving SDGs goals.
  

Gree Dong Mingzhu made a car "Dream Broken" to terminate the acquisition of Zhuhai Yinlong’s equity.

    16 days after the acquisition plan was rejected, Gree gave up the acquisition of Zhuhai Yinlong. This result is unexpected to many people.

  Even when rumors were flying, Dong Mingzhu, the chairman of the board, didn’t reveal the idea of "giving up making cars" at all. However, a sudden announcement made Gree "build a car" come to an abrupt end.

  "Gree’s fundraising plan was previously rejected by minority shareholders at the shareholders’ meeting. Since then, Gree has indicated that it will change the plan, but its source of funds for the acquisition of Zhuhai Yinlong is inconclusive, which makes the acquisition very uncertain. However, this result is still a bit surprising. Gree’s attitude in building a car was very firm before. " The industry believes that. 

   On the evening of November 16th,gree electric appliancesThe announcement said that the company decided to stop planning to issue shares to purchase assets.

  Gree Electric’s acquisition plan for Zhuhai Yinlong has been controversial since its birth. Three months ago, Gree Electric announced the acquisition plan, announcing the acquisition of 100% equity of Zhuhai Yinlong by issuing shares. After the acquisition, Zhuhai Yinlong will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gree Electric. However, the acquisition plan was "voted with their feet" by minority shareholders.

  At the end of October, Gree’s overall plan to acquire Yinlong and raise funds was finally rejected at its extraordinary shareholders meeting. However, Gree did not disclose his willingness to give up the acquisition. Gree Electric issued an announcement, acknowledging that the proposal on the issue of shares to purchase assets was not passed as a whole, and said that it planned to continue to push forward the issue of shares to purchase assets, and reduce or cancel the matching raised funds. At that time, Gree insiders also said in an interview that they would continue the acquisition, but it would take time to adjust the plan.

  It is reported that the optimized and adjusted plan will be resubmitted to the board of directors and shareholders’ meeting for deliberation, and the announcement date of the resolution of the board of directors will be taken as the benchmark date for issuance pricing.

  After Gree’s acquisition plan was rejected, there was an episode in which Dong Mingzhu, the chairman of Gree Electric, changed his position at Gree Group level, causing a sensation in the industry. For a time, people in the industry speculated on the reasons why Miss Dong left the group. Some insiders believe that this may be related to Gree Electric’s acquisition of Zhuhai Yinlong.

  However, judging from the current actions of Gree, "Miss Dong" gave up making cars in a short time.

  But this does not mean that Gree does not need to find new profit growth points as soon as possible. Looking at Gree Electric’s annual reports in recent years, we can see that in 2015, Gree Electric’s performance continued to grow, and Gree Electric’s revenue and net profit decreased by 29% and 11% respectively, which was the first time that Gree Electric’s performance declined since its listing. In the first half of 2016, the decline in the company’s performance narrowed.

  At the same time, "Miss Dong" has repeatedly revealed in public that the air-conditioning industry has entered a saturated stage, intelligence will enter a golden age in the next five years, and Gree has entered a diversified era. Today, Miss Dong enters Gree.intelligent automobileThe promotion of the field has been hindered by many obstacles.

  "This does not mean that Gree will give up the diversified layout, and the smart industry is still Gree’s new layout direction and future profit growth point." Gree insiders said.

  This may be another beginning for Gree.

Four highlights of Putin’s visit to China

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, June 24th: Four Highlights of Putin’s Visit to China

  Xinhua News Agency reporters Bai Jie and Wu Yue

  At the invitation of the Supreme Leader of president, Russian President Vladimir Putin will pay a state visit to China on 25th. This is Putin’s fifth visit to China since he became the Russian president again in March 2012.

  What are the differences between Putin’s visit to China and the past? Why did the two heads of state meet so intensively? What topics will the two sides discuss? What are the noteworthy places during the visit?

  Aspect 1: The whirlwind visit highlights the maturity of bilateral relations.

  Since Putin became the Russian president for the first time in 2000, he has visited China for more than a dozen times or attended activities. This less than 24-hour state visit is the shortest among Putin’s previous visits to China.

  In the opinion of analysts, this whirlwind visit reflects the high maturity of Sino-Russian relations and the profound friendship between the two heads of state.

  "The practice of frequent interaction has been formed between the two heads of state." Jiang Yi, a researcher at the Russian Institute of Eastern Europe and Central Asia of the China Academy of Social Sciences, said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency that in the past, Putin’s visit to China was not very long, not more than three days at most, and even less than 48 hours in recent times.

  "This efficient and fast-paced arrangement also shows that the relevant departments of the two countries have made sufficient preparatory work before the leaders’ visit and formed a lot of consensus." Jiang Yi said.

  Xing Guangcheng, director of China Frontier Research Institute of China Academy of Social Sciences, noted that although the visit time was short and the schedule was tight, it was also a complete state visit, which "marked the continuous development of bilateral relations at a very high level, and this momentum is still continuing".

  In the past three years, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader visited Russia five times and held more than ten meetings with President Putin. As China’s Ambassador to Russia AARON Li said a few days ago, the two sides have established a good working relationship and profound friendship, which has played an important leading role in the relations between the two countries.

  Putin himself spoke highly of the positive interaction between the two heads of state. He called the Chairman of the Supreme Leader "a very good friend and a very reliable partner" and called the cooperation between them "an unquestionable driver of the development of bilateral relations".

  Aspect 2: Strategic mutual trust has reached an unprecedented height

  China and Russia are each other’s largest neighbors. This year marks the 15th anniversary of the signing of the Sino-Russian Good-Neighborly Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation and the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Sino-Russian strategic cooperative partnership. At present, the relationship between the two countries is mature and stable, and it is at its best in history.

  In an exclusive interview with Cai Mingzhao, president of Xinhua News Agency, Putin said that the mutual trust between Russia and China has "reached an unprecedented height" and laid a solid foundation for bilateral cooperation. At present, leaders of the two countries meet regularly, and more than 20 intergovernmental cooperation mechanisms operate efficiently.

  It is reported that during Putin’s visit to China, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader will hold talks with him, exchange in-depth views on bilateral relations and international and regional issues of common concern, and plan and deploy the next development direction and key cooperation areas of China-Russia comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership. The two heads of state will sign and publish a number of important political documents and witness the signing of a series of pragmatic cooperation documents by relevant departments and enterprises of both sides. Premier Li Keqiang and Chairman Zhang Dejiang will meet with Putin respectively.

  Li Dong, deputy director of the Russian Institute of China Institute of Contemporary International Relations, believes that as an important visit in an important year of Sino-Russian relations, this visit will surely have a milestone significance. The two heads of state will review the achievements and experience in the past 20 years and make a "top-level design" for the future development prospects and long-term planning, thus injecting strong impetus into the sustained and healthy development of bilateral relations.

  Aspect 3: Expanding pragmatic cooperation is the top priority of the department.

  Analysts generally believe that an important topic of Putin’s visit to China is bilateral pragmatic cooperation, especially in the economic and trade field.

  China is currently Russia’s largest trading partner and an important source of foreign investment, while Russia is one of the main sources of energy, electromechanical and high-tech products imported by China. However, due to the weak global economy and falling international commodity prices, the bilateral trade volume between China and Russia has dropped significantly recently. Statistics show that in 2015, bilateral trade between China and Russia was only US$ 68.06 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 28.6%.

  In this regard, Putin stressed that the two sides should strive to diversify bilateral trade exchanges, "enhance their attention to high-tech fields in bilateral cooperation" and improve the bilateral trade structure.

  Russian Ambassador to China Denisov said recently that during Putin’s visit to China, China and Russia plan to sign more than 30 documents at different levels, covering finance, tourism, nuclear energy, aerospace and other fields.

  "From the overall situation, Sino-Russian economic and trade cooperation does have challenges, but it also faces new opportunities." Jiang Yi believes that the two heads of state need to discuss how to further consolidate the foundation of economic and trade cooperation between the two countries under the new situation and find new strengths for economic and trade cooperation between the two countries.

  In May last year, when the Supreme Leader visited Russia, the two heads of state issued a joint statement on the docking of the Silk Road Economic Belt and the Eurasian Economic Union. Experts believe that the two sides will continue to conduct in-depth discussions on this cooperation and tap the potential of cooperation.

  In addition, during the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum last week, Putin called for the establishment of a Greater Eurasian Partnership with the participation of the Eurasian Economic Union, India, China, CIS countries and other countries. "It is expected that Putin’s visit to China will explain this idea to China in detail and explore how to turn the interests of both sides into practical actions." Jiang Yi said.

  Aspect 4: It is proper to work together to maintain world order.

  Today, the world faces many major challenges, such as the turbulent situation in some regions, the intensification of terrorist activities, and global problems such as climate change. As influential powers, China and Russia are committed to building a new type of state relations with win-win cooperation as the core, and close coordination and cooperation on major international and regional issues of mutual concern can play an important and constructive role in safeguarding international fairness and justice and maintaining world and regional peace and stability.

  Experts said that Sino-Russian strategic cooperation is not only reflected at the bilateral level, but also at the global level. The two countries have similar positions on global hot issues and play an important role in promoting the reform of international mechanisms and maintaining international order; On issues involving each other’s core interests and major concerns, cooperation between the two sides is conducive to maintaining the authority and integrity of international law and forming mutual support.

  At present, China and Russia are actively cooperating on multilateral platforms such as the United Nations, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the BRICS countries and the G20.

  "The fact that Russia and China are currently cooperating on the international stage is itself a stabilizing factor in international affairs." Putin said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency.

  Putin specifically mentioned the speech made by Chairman Supreme Leader at the commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations last year. "This speech aims to solve all controversial issues by peaceful means, taking international law as the criterion.".

  Vasily Kashin, a researcher at the Far East Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said in an interview with Russian media that the two sides will hopefully jointly issue important political statements on the basic issues of the world order and the major international issues facing the two countries.

  "Mutual support and coordination on international issues is the proper meaning of China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of cooperation." Li Jianmin, a researcher at the Russian Institute of Eastern Europe and Central Asia of the China Academy of Social Sciences, said that he believed that the two sides would make new and greater contributions to promoting international peace, security and stability through this visit.

EU’s Policy Adjustment in the Middle East Change

a surname; short for Europe; luckyEurope is a close neighbor of the Middle East. Since the outbreak of the Arab Spring, European countries have generally paid more attention to the situation in the Middle East. As the spokesman of European countries’ political and diplomatic interests, the EU’s intervention and influence on the situation in the Middle East is obvious, and it has become an important external force affecting the development of the situation in the Middle East. Facing the derailed development of the situation in the Middle East, considering its own stability and security factors, the EU hopes to maintain stability and peace in the Middle East. In particular, the proliferation of terrorism and extremist forces in the Middle East poses a major threat to the political and security situation of the EU. The EU hopes to show its political and diplomatic influence by playing a role in Middle East affairs. The recent wave of refugees fleeing from the Middle East has brought great pressure to the EU countries, and it has become an urgent task for the EU to deal with the chaos in the Middle East. In the future, the EU’s Middle East policy will face great challenges.

The Middle East in EU’s Foreign Relations

Europe’s concern about conflicts and crises in the Middle East stems from historical, cultural and geopolitical factors of both sides. After the Madrid Middle East Peace Conference in 1991, Sweden, Norway, Britain, France and other European countries began to actively mediate the Arab-Israeli conflict. In 2000-2002, a serious conflict broke out between Israel and Palestine. Together with the United Nations, the United States and Russia, the European Union established the "four-party talks" mechanism on the Middle East issue, which played an important role in mediating the positions of both sides and coordinating the international community in mediating the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. During the international negotiations on the Iranian nuclear issue that have lasted for many years, the EU countries represented by France, Britain and Germany have become an important force in the international negotiations on the Iranian nuclear issue.

In recent years, the coordination and implementation capacity of the EU’s Common Foreign and Security Policy has been continuously improved, and it has played an important role in many international issues, especially in the Middle East. On December 12, 2003, the EU Summit held in Brussels, Belgium, adopted the "EU Security Strategy" document submitted by Javier Solana, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. According to this document, the EU has determined that "ten Mediterranean countries are the neighboring countries in the southern part of the Mediterranean", namely, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Israel, Palestine, Syria, Jordan, Libya, Egypt and Lebanon. [1] Among these ten countries, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and Syria have happened to be the countries that have undergone great political changes in the Middle East since the end of 2010. It is not difficult to understand that the EU’s political, diplomatic and even military actions, such as intervention, mediation, mediation and pressure on these countries with turbulent political situation, are the embodiment of its practice of the Common Foreign and Security Policy.

The EU responds to the changes in the Middle East

And the actions and measures of the crisis

At the end of 2010, the political situation in Tunisia changed suddenly. With the development of the situation in Libya, Syria and Egypt, the European Union has intervened and interfered with the development of these countries in various forms, becoming an important external force affecting the development of the situation in the Middle East.

1. The EU and NATO led the use of force against Libya to overthrow the Qaddafi regime.

In the Libyan crisis in 2011 and the subsequent Libyan war, the EU and NATO played a leading role, while France became the most active EU country advocating the use of force against Libya. Shortly after the NATO-led military operation began, France took over the command of the Libyan war from the United States. France not only spared no effort to attack Libyan government forces militarily, but also reached out to Libyan opposition in politics, becoming the first country to reach out to Libyan political forces opposed to Gaddafi’s government. Soon, France took the lead in recognizing Libya’s "National Transitional Council". After the collapse of Gaddafi’s regime, French President Nicolas Sarkozy was also one of the first western leaders to visit Libya.

France’s position and attitude on Libya is closely related to France’s own strategy in North Africa and the Mediterranean region. France’s historical ties and complex with Libya and North Africa determined its "strong concern" for Libya and African affairs. At the same time, the political ambition and great power consciousness of then French President Nicolas Sarkozy greatly influenced France’s political adventure of taking the lead in overthrowing Gaddafi by military means. Of course, due to Gaddafi’s long-term anti-Western policy in the past, the EU took advantage of Libya’s political crisis to overthrow Gaddafi’s regime, which is beneficial to the EU’s political and security interests and to enhance the EU’s influence.

Second, the EU strongly supports the Syrian opposition and tries to overthrow Bashar? Assad regime

In the spring of 2011, demonstrations against the Bashar government broke out in Syria, and the domestic situation quickly became turbulent. In the following years, western countries, represented by the European Union, constantly urged the Syrian authorities to carry out reforms in line with public opinion. However, the development of the situation in Syria did not follow the direction hoped by the European Union and the outside world, but fell into a civil war, leading to rampant extremist forces.

In order to force Bashar to step down as soon as possible, the EU tried to adopt the "Libya model" to foster Syrian anti-government forces. On February 24, 2012, with the support of international organizations such as the European Union and the Arab League and some Arab countries, the first international conference of "Friends of the Syrian People" was held in Tunisia, attended by representatives from 70 countries including the United States, Britain and France. On the day of the meeting, British Foreign Secretary Haig said that Britain would formally recognize the Syrian National Committee, the largest opposition in Syria, as the legal representative of the country. In November 2012, French President Hollande announced that he recognized the "National Alliance" as "the sole legitimate representative of the Syrian people" and the "future government" of Syria. This means that France has become the first western country to formally and fully recognize Syria’s "National League". [2] But since then, the Syrian opposition has not formed an authoritative political organization supported by various forces. In June 2014, Bashar? In response to Assad’s re-election in the Syrian presidential election, the European Union issued a statement saying that this presidential election in Syria cannot be regarded as a "real democratic voting process". This gesture shows that although the EU is unwilling to accept Bashar to take charge of Syria again, it does not have an effective strategy to overthrow the Syrian regime as soon as possible.

3. The EU supports the changes in Egypt and pays attention to the prospects of domestic political development in Egypt.

In February 2011, popular demonstrations broke out in Egypt, and President Mubarak, who had been in power for many years, had to announce his resignation on February 11. The EU immediately issued a statement expressing its support for the smooth transition of the Egyptian regime. European Council President Van Rompuy, European Commission President Barroso and EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Ashton also issued a joint statement on the same day, welcoming Mubarak’s resignation.

After Mubarak stepped down, the situation in Egypt did not develop smoothly. In June 2012, the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Morsi, representing the religious conservative forces in Egypt, was elected as the president of Egypt, and the European Union recognized it after the Muslim Brotherhood won. After Mursi took office, he was once committed to improving relations with the West. In September 2012, President Morsi visited the EU headquarters and Italy respectively. In January 2013, European Council President Van Rompuy visited Egypt and said that the EU would provide Egypt with 5 billion euros in loan assistance. In the same month, President Morsi visited Germany. In April, Ashton, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Affairs, visited Egypt.

On July 3, 2013, the Egyptian military ousted the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Morsi, who had been in power for only one year. The EU reacted cautiously. On July 4th, Ashton, the EU’s foreign policy representative, said in a statement that the EU is very concerned about the development of Egypt and believes that there are profound differences in Egyptian society. In order to learn more about the development of the domestic situation in Egypt, Ashton went to Egypt on July 30, 2013 to meet with the imprisoned former Egyptian President Morsi, which was the first contact with the outside world after Morsi stepped down. In August, the EU announced an embargo on some military supplies to Egypt. In June 2014, Egypt held a general election, and former military leader Sethi won. The EU sent an observer mission to supervise the elections in Egypt. After the elections, the EU issued a statement and accepted the election results in Egypt. After Sethi came to power, the EU made many contacts with the Egyptian authorities on issues such as resuming assistance to Egypt and accelerating the domestic reform process in Egypt.

Fourth, the EU used political and economic sanctions to put pressure on Syria, Egypt and other countries.

On the Syrian issue, the EU is the first western power to impose sanctions on the Syrian government. In May 2011, the EU began to impose sanctions on the Bashar government. The EU foreign ministers’ meeting adopted a resolution on May 14th, 2012, and decided to expand the scope of sanctions against Syria. Since May 2011, the EU has imposed several rounds of sanctions on Syria, and a total of 43 Syrian enterprises and 128 individuals have been included in the sanctions list.

During the political turmoil in Egypt, the EU not only exerted political influence, but also considered using economic means such as sanctions to influence the development of the domestic situation in Egypt. The EU is Egypt’s most important economic partner. As early as 2001, the EU signed the Egypt-EU Partnership Agreement with Egypt. According to the agreement, all industrial products and some agricultural products exported from Egypt to Europe enjoy duty-free treatment. At the stage of the political crisis in Egypt, the EU thought of using the cancellation of preferential trade conditions with Egypt to put pressure on the Egyptian authorities. In July 2013, when the Egyptian military government overthrew the democratically elected Mursi government, the EU decided to suspend the export of weapons to Egypt, but the economic assistance to Egypt continued. After Sethi was elected President of Egypt, the EU decided to maintain its economic assistance to Egypt.

V. EU strengthens security and counter-terrorism measures to deal with the threat of "Islamic State"

In the EU’s foreign and security policy, combating terrorism and terrorist threats is an important content. The Middle East is a high-incidence place of global terrorism. Considering its own stability and security, the EU strongly supports the countries in the Middle East in their struggle against terrorism. However, due to the definition of terrorism and different views on some organizations engaged in anti-government activities, the EU and some countries in the Middle East also have some differences in the field of counter-terrorism.

In September 2014, US President Barack Obama announced the establishment of an international "anti-terrorism coalition". Most of the allied countries expressed political support for this move by the United States, but they were extremely cautious about sending troops to war. German Foreign Minister Steinmeier said that Germany will not participate in the US air strikes against Syria. However, Steinmeier believes that the military strike plan of the League of Nations against the Islamic State should be based on "political strategy". He also said that Germany is ready to provide weapons to Iraqi Kurdish armed forces.

Although the EU strictly guards against terrorist organizations and terrorists from the Middle East from going deep into EU countries to create terrorist incidents, the sporadic terrorist incidents in EU countries in recent years still show that the EU’s security concerns are not unreasonable. Especially after the rise of the "Islamic State" forces in the Middle East in 2014, it has great appeal to young people with extreme religious ideas in many European countries. Some European citizens with extreme ideas have defected to the "Islamic State" through various channels. According to a British study, the "foreign aid" that went to Syria to participate in the war came from at least 14 European countries. Among them, Britain, France and Germany participated in the largest number of people, and hundreds of people from each country participated in the war. In addition, there were many citizens from Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Austria and other countries. Once these people return to China, they will pose a serious threat to the security of some European countries. On January 7, 2015, a terrorist attack on Charlie Hebdo magazine occurred in Paris, France, killing and injuring more than 10 people. According to a preliminary investigation by the French police, the suspect once went to Yemen and other turbulent countries in the Middle East to fight. This incident is enough to show that the influence of terrorist organizations and terrorist ideas originating in the turbulent region of the Middle East on EU security cannot be ignored.

The EU’s response to the changes in the Middle East

Restricted factors and prospect analysis

No matter from the perspective of hIStorical ties or geopolitics, there is no reason for the EU to ignore the major political changes in the Middle East and countries. However, from dealing with the growing tide of refugees to how to combat the Islamic State (IS) forces, the EU is facing more and more challenges. The EU’s intervention in the situation in the Middle East, including its influence on the internal political process of some countries in the Middle East, is not only restricted by the EU’s ability and desire, but also influenced by the increasingly fierce competition pattern among major powers in the Middle East.

First, the refugee tide in the Middle East: the urgent task for the EU to deal with the chaos in the Middle East

As the EU is adjacent to the Middle East, a large number of refugees fleeing from countries in the Middle East turmoil all take European countries as their escape destinations. According to the estimation of Antonio Guterres, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, as of June 2015, there have been 11 million refugees since the outbreak of the Middle East crisis, including 7.5 million refugees in Syria. 4.5 million Syrian refugees have fled to neighboring countries such as Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey. Refugees from Libya, Syria and other countries have ventured to escape to European countries such as Italy by boat. So far, more than 2,000 people have been killed in the sea. In May 2015, the European Commission put forward a proposal that member States accept refugees according to quotas, but it was opposed by some countries. In August 2015, during the meeting, the leaders of France and Germany put forward a proposal to accelerate the establishment of a unified refugee policy in the European Union. In September, a 3-year-old boy in Syria was killed at sea, which triggered a big discussion among EU countries on their refugee policies. Governments such as France and Germany indicated that they would increase their efforts to accept refugees. On September 9th, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker announced a refugee quota scheme: 22 member states of the European Union will share 120,000 refugees in Hungary, Greece and Italy, including 31,000 refugees in Germany, 24,000 in France and 15,000 in Spain. The plan was enforced after being discussed by EU interior ministers. However, EU countries have different attitudes towards accepting refugees. Germany is relatively active and is the EU country that has received the most refugees in recent years.Nordic countries such as Denmark are relatively negative. However, if the situation in Syria, Libya and other countries continues to deteriorate, a considerable number of millions of refugees currently stranded in Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey will still regard EU countries as refugee destinations, which will put pressure on the EU.

Second, the EU needs to strengthen cooperation with other big countries in the process of coping with the changes and crisis in the Middle East.

The turmoil in the Middle East has a great impact on the political and security interests of Europe, which makes the EU pay close attention to the development of the situation in the Middle East. However, as a supranational international actor, the effect of its foreign policy has great limitations. The EU’s role as an international actor in foreign and security policy continues to be a "dwarf" image, and the foreign and security policies of nation-states within the EU are still its dominant feature. [3] The biggest disadvantage of the EU in intervening and dealing with hot issues in the Middle East is that the EU’s diplomatic executive ability is "virtual", and its political diplomatic resolutions and initiatives are not binding on its member States. In the end, the foreign policy of the European Union needs to be recognized and implemented by various countries within it to achieve results. In addition, the EU needs better cooperation with the United States, Russia and other big countries to play its role. Therefore, on many major issues in the Middle East, the EU plays a more "follower" or "coordinator" role. Of course, once there is an opportunity, the EU will spare no effort to play its role. For example, during the implementation of a comprehensive agreement on Iran’s nuclear issue, the EU’s position and attitude are crucial on issues such as lifting economic and military sanctions against Iran.

Third, the ability and effect of EU intervention in Middle East affairs are subject to many factors.

Whether it is Libya or Syria, the EU’s influence on the long-term development of internal situations in these countries is limited. After Gaddafi’s downfall, the situation in Libya continued to be turbulent, and even there was a situation of warlordism and melee, and external forces such as the European Union could do nothing about it. Regarding the situation in Syria, although the major EU countries have long cut off official ties with Bashar regime, Bashar won the domestic election for re-election in June 2014, and the EU seems to have no other better way except not to recognize it. Especially in dealing with the extreme armed threat of the Islamic State, the EU is one of the 54 countries and organizations participating in the US-led "anti-terrorist coalition". However, the EU is particularly cautious about whether to send ground troops to participate in the war. None of the EU countries have clearly stated that they will consider sending ground troops to participate in the war in the future, which shows that the EU countries are mainly concerned with preventing terrorists from infiltrating into Europe and are unwilling to send troops to fight in Syria and Iraq.

In a word, out of consideration of its own political, economic and security interests, and in order to better show its political influence, the EU keeps close attention to the development of the situation in the Middle East, but its ability and effect of intervention and intervention are also limited. Among the external forces affecting the development of the situation in the Middle East, the EU is indispensable, and it still needs to cooperate with other countries and international organizations.

Chapter III Basic Application of Enterprise Internet

 First, the development of basic Internet activities

 (A) basic information Internet applications

E-mail is one of the earliest Internet services, which plays an important role in information communication, and is also a widely accepted and low-cost Internet marketing channel for enterprises. As of December 2015, 89.0% of enterprises connected to the Internet have used the Internet to send and receive emails in the past year, and 62.1% of them have corporate mailboxes.

In addition, 71.9%, 67.2% and 58.3% of online enterprises have carried out basic information activities such as learning about goods or services, publishing information or instant messages, and obtaining information from government agencies.

 (B) Basic internal support Internet applications

Internet plays an important supporting role in the internal management of enterprises: 83.0% online enterprises assist financial work through online banking; 79.3% of online enterprises interact with government agencies and do things online, and the high utilization rate reflects the fruitful results of e-government construction; 57.4% of online companies are engaged in online recruitment. In addition to traditional ways such as posting recruitment information on recruitment websites and official website, social platforms and instant messaging tools have also become new channels, and 28.1% of online companies use the Internet to carry out employee training.

 (3) Basic network security protection measures

By December 2015, 91.4% of enterprises had installed antivirus software and firewall software, and more than 1/4 of them paid for it. According to the survey results, enterprises in China have basic awareness of network security protection.

 Second, the grassroots Internet full-time job setting

As of December 2015, 34.0% of enterprises have set up full-time Internet posts at the grassroots level, among which the proportion of micro-enterprises with 7 employees or less is the lowest, accounting for 30.2%, and the proportion of enterprises with 300 employees or above setting up special posts is close to 40%. At present, it is difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises to set up special posts. However, with the gradual improvement of Internet software and hardware configuration and the increasingly extensive and in-depth development of Internet activities, the demand for talents with professional operation and maintenance, R&D and commercial operation skills will surge.

In terms of industries, the proportion of special posts in industry and service industry is 28.5% and 38.0% respectively, with a difference of nearly 10 percentage points. Among them, the manufacturing industry is lower than the whole industry, and the wholesale and retail catering industry is lower than the whole service industry. It is an urgent problem to improve the attention paid by enterprises to grassroots professionals in order to realize "intelligent manufacturing" and develop modern service industry closely related to people’s livelihood.
