Former US Treasury Secretary Summers said on Wednesday local time that if Trump is elected president and fulfills his campaign promise, the United States may face a serious inflation crisis again. In an interview with the media, Summers pointed out that Trump’s policies of reducing taxes, raising tariffs and expelling illegal immigrants will have a serious impact on the US economy. He believes that if these plans are implemented, the United States will suffer a bigger inflation crisis than in 2021.

Considering the scale of inflation in 2021 and its harm, Summers’ warning is particularly serious. At that time, the US CPI data began to rise rapidly in the spring and reached a 40-year high of 9.1% in June 2022. Many Americans have never experienced such a high inflation rate, and until today, the economic and political system in the United States still feels its impact. Although the current inflation rate has dropped sharply, the price level has not decreased, and the high cost of living is also one of the important factors for Trump to return to the White House.

The latest data shows that the CPI of the United States rose by 2.6% year-on-year and 0.2% quarter-on-quarter in October; In October, the core CPI rose by 3.3% year-on-year and 0.3% quarter-on-quarter. All four indicators are in line with market expectations.

Summers hopes that Trump can learn from this election and adjust his plan to avoid causing inflation. However, Trump’s transition team refuted this warning, and spokeswoman Caroline Levitt said that during Trump’s first term, he imposed tariffs on foreign countries, created employment opportunities and stimulated investment, which did not lead to inflation. She added that Trump will quickly repair and restore the economy and achieve full employment by returning American jobs, reducing inflation, raising real wages, reducing taxes, reducing supervision and lifting the energy constraints in the United States.

Scott Besant, a hedge fund executive who may become Trump’s finance minister, also refuted inflation concerns, saying that Trump would reproduce the inflation crisis is absurd. He said that Trump hopes that under his leadership, all Americans can live a good life.

In addition to Summers, the Nobel laureate in economics also warned that Trump’s agenda would "reignite" inflation. According to a recent survey, more than two-thirds of economists believe that if Trump is re-elected, the inflation rate in the United States will rise faster than if Harris is elected.

Summers believes that the Biden administration’s excessive stimulus to the economy in 2021 led to the inflation problem. He said that the current situation is similar to the period after the last election. He also warned that Trump’s series of plans may have a linkage effect, which will lead to the risk that inflation will get out of control.

As representatives of the Jaguar family, these two cars perfectly combine Jaguar’s precious temperament, pure British design and the latest technology. This year is the second time that Jaguar cars have come to China to participate in the auto show. In order to make the highly appreciative Chinese audience more deeply appreciate the unique charm of the Jaguar brand, we specially present the new Jaguar XJL Royal Extended Edition.

　　This auto show is the second appearance of the Jaguar XJL Royal Extended Edition after its official launch in China in March. The total length of the new Jaguar XJL Royal Extended Edition reaches 5,215mm and is 3,159mm long, making it the luxury sedan with the longest wheelbase in its class of high-end cars. Extra-long rear legroom of 999mm, unparalleled head space, handcrafted Burr walnut panels and flawless soft leather seats create an extremely delicate and luxurious interior environment. The foldable, push-pull Burr walnut business table board that opens from the back of the seat, and the independently controlled multimedia entertainment system provide maximum comfort and convenience for busy Chinese business elites who need to work in the car. The riveted and glued all-aluminum body structure using aerospace manufacturing technology maintains superior hardness and safety, and enhances handling flexibility. Its naturally aspirated 4.2-liter V8 engine is perfectly combined with the advanced ZF six-speed automatic transmission to provide a smooth and natural driving experience for drivers and passengers.

　　Also on display with the XJL Royal Extended is the Jaguar 2005 Model S, which has become the highest-selling and most popular Jaguar car since its introduction in China in August 2004. The appearance and performance of the Jaguar 2005 Model S fully demonstrate what the Jaguar brand stands for: a passionate racing pedigree, a combination of outstanding sporting characteristics and beautiful styling, with a unique personality and elegant and noble style. Few models have won as many awards as the new Jaguar 2005 Model S. These awards include: "Best Luxury Car to Buy" for 2003-2004; "British Car of the Year" by readers of the British magazine Auto Express; and "Most Beautiful Car of the Year" by viewers of the famous French TV station TF1.

JD.com up the ante community group buying, and there is a new action.

Yesterday evening, the mainland agricultural products wholesale market operator China Dili Group (Hong Kong listed company, stock code: HK.01387, referred to as "China Dili") announced that on December 25, the company and the subscriber JD.com Group wholly-owned subsidiary Nelson Innovation Limited entered into a subscription agreement, JD.com Group will be 798 million Hong Kong dollars to subscribe for China Dili 478 million shares, the subscription price is 1.67 Hong Kong dollars per subscription share, with a discount of about 16.5% to the closing price of 2 Hong Kong dollars per share quoted on the Stock Exchange on the last trading day of China Dili shares. After the transaction is completed, JD.com Group will receive about 5.37% of China Dili’s issued share capital.

Regarding the deal, China Dili said that the company and JD.com Group will jointly build the strongest fresh food supply chain system in China.

According to the data, China Geoji is a major agricultural product distribution service provider in China, mainly engaged in shopping mall operations. Currently, it has 10 large agricultural product wholesale markets in 7 cities including Shouguang, Hangzhou, Shenyang and Harbin. In 2019, the commission income was RMB 10 million yuan, and the rental income was 410 million yuan.

In January 2019, China Dili proposed a transformation and upgrading development strategy, that is, through technology and service empowerment, to build an integrated and digital fresh circulation comprehensive service system, transform into a "modern fresh circulation service and supplier", and become the most trusted food circulation service provider. In October of the same year, China Dili Strategy invested in the fresh retail chain "Dili Fresh", and initially formed a three-point and one-line whole-industry chain circulation layout of fresh food "production-circulation-retail".

For this acquisition, China Dili Group said that China Dili and JD.com Group will jointly build the strongest fresh food supply chain system in China. China Dili has the advantage of offline transactions and agricultural and sideline product origin resources linking the production end and the sales end. JD.com Group has global fresh food marketing channels, C-end customer base and logistics warehouse distribution capabilities, as well as modern technology and digital capabilities. The two sides will strengthen the integration of resources and empower each other in the aspects of fresh circulation, supply, upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, through modern technology and digital technology, build a modern fresh supply chain and circulation service platform, realize the digitalization of the whole industrial chain of fresh circulation, the whole process can be traced, food safety is guaranteed, and solve the long-standing social problems such as farmers’ difficulty in selling agricultural products and low prices, while urban consumers buy expensive and food safety is not guaranteed.

The board believes that the acquisition provides a unique opportunity for the company to expand its shareholder base and raise funds for future development and business expansion. The Subscription will further create a synergy effect between ChinaLand and JD.com’s business, driving ChinaLand’s future development and business growth.

In addition, according to E Company, Zhu Danpeng, a Chinese food industry analyst, said that the organic integration of China’s resources in the B-end and JD.com’s advantages in the C-end and technology will help the construction of agricultural products and fresh food supply systems. "The degree of intelligence, standardization and digitalization of the supply system will be improved. For the C-end, consumers will also be able to enjoy better quality agricultural products and fresh food logistics services. I think this will open a new model of upgrading the distribution structure of agricultural products and fresh food in our country."

In fact, fresh food accounts for a high proportion of community group buying,The supply chain system construction of fresh food e-commerce will be one of the key factors for the sustainable development of community group buying, and the cooperation between the two parties is also regarded by the industry as the latest move of JD.com up the ante community group buying.

According to Ernest & Young’s recently released "E-commerce new retail 2.0: From fresh food e-commerce to community group buying, operational efficiency is the key to winning", community group buying has made small progress as early as 2016, and ushered in a blowout under the promotion of capital in 2018. The bubble receded in 2019, and the industry ushered in a reshuffle and integration. The COVID-19 epidemic in 2020 played a very good catalytic and educational role in the community group buying market. During the epidemic, residents go out to reduce, blocked shopping channels, while information transmission and management to the community as a unit, community group buying model to help people solve the daily life of shopping problems, and quickly replicated to each district, community group buying finally ushered in explosive growth.

Community group buying almost always adopts the model of "booking today + next day delivery/self-pickup", providing community residents with fresh food, daily general merchandise and other goods. The most direct is that the goods purchased by users are cheaper and can be picked up around the community.

Before that, JD.com also frequently took action to layout community group buying,In 2019, the community group buying brand "JD.com District Purchase" was launched, and the joint purchase Mini Program "Jingxi" was launched; on December 6 this year, JD.com announced the acquisition of Meicai’s Meijia Shopping; on the evening of December 11, JD.com officially announced that the investment is prosperous and preferred, and the investment amount is 700 million US dollars.This investment in China’s geographical location is also an important part of the layout (strengthening resource integration in fresh circulation, supply, upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, etc.).

Since the beginning of this year, Meituan, Alibaba, Pinduoduo, JD.com and other giants have entered the market together, and they are not aiming at each other’s existing territory, but at an inconspicuous red ocean market in the past.

According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, the output of fresh agricultural products in 2019 is about 1.20 billion tons, and the output value of fresh agricultural products is about 7 trillion. If we consider fresh processing, warehousing and circulation, the entire market transaction volume exceeds 20 trillion, and it is expected that the size of the fresh food market in 2020 is expected to reach 331.07 billion yuan. In the first half of 2020, the user stickiness of fresh food e-commerce reached 25.70%, an increase of 6.2% over last year.

At the same time, the penetration rate of fresh food e-commerce is low. According to Euromonitor statistics, from the perspective of channel share, in 2019, traditional farmers’ channels accounted for 48%, supermarket hypermarkets accounted for 36%, and e-commerce channels accounted for from 1% in 2013 to 6% in 2019.

At present, community group buying has also attracted greater skepticism, and the state has now paid great attention to it at the policy level. On December 22, the State Regulation for Market Regulation and the Ministry of Commerce jointly held an administrative guidance meeting on regulating the order of community group buying. Six Internet platform companies from Alibaba, Tencent, JD.com, Meituan, Pinduoduo and Didi participated. The meeting made it clear that Internet platform companies strictly abide by the "nine must not", and the new regulations are of positive significance for the entire community group buying industry to avoid vicious competition and lead the healthy development of the industry.

According to E Company, the development of the fresh food e-commerce industry is also facing some pain points. Zhu Danpeng told that at present, the entire fresh food e-commerce industry has incomplete product structure, different product quality standards, unstable product supply and large losses. The service system of the entire product supply chain also needs to be strengthened.

The Ernest & Young report also pointed out that although fresh food e-commerce has developed rapidly in recent years, it is still very difficult for the industry to achieve profitability. The particularity of fresh products makes the industry also face many difficulties and challenges that are difficult to overcome.

The Ernest & Young report argues that investing a lot of resources and human and material resources can gather traffic in the short term, but the ultimate competitiveness of the community group buying industry still lies in the construction of internal capabilities (supply chain capabilities and cost control are particularly important). Although in the short term, traffic and subsidies can help community group buying platforms to quickly increase volume, community group buying is still essentially a retail business. In the long run, how fast and economical goods are is the key to consumer trust and viscosity, and the ultimate improvement of the operating efficiency of the entire supply chain is the key to the success of the platform. In the national policy environment, in addition to spending resources and energy to occupy market share, community group buying operators need to pay more attention to the cultivation of their own internal capabilities and create a healthy industry ecosystem.

Original title: Google Maps New feature: Lock screen interface can also be navigated in real time

Recently, Google Maps has launched a new feature that reflects your location in real time and provides real-time navigation support, which can guide you in real time on how to go, where to take the bus or subway.

Although the existing navigation can still implement voice and other navigation, providing you with various itineraries, unlike the existing map navigation, the application is updated in real time and can be accurate to every step, including reminding you that it is time to get off, turn left or right, and so on.

The reminder function can not only be reminded on the application interface, but also on the lock screen of the mobile phone, allowing users to complete the navigation function without entering the Google Maps application interface, which is also a lack of existing navigation maps.

Google will randomly select some customer engagement tests in the near future. You can check whether Google Maps can be upgraded at any time. If you are lucky, you will be given priority to experience the portability brought by the new features of Google Maps.

　　　　　　 CCTV News:On July 1, local time, the search entered the ninth day. There is still no news of the missing persons. However, the weather in Thailand improved for three consecutive days, and rescuers took various measures and search and rescue efforts, which made the rescue work progress.　　

Rescue site

　　　　　　 At present, the water level in the cave has decreased compared with before, and the oxygen content in the cave should also be at a normal level. Rescuers have entered the third cave, which is about 3 kilometers away from the possible location of the missing person. Yin Narongsa, the government of Chiang Rai, said that if the local weather conditions continue to be good, it will be conducive to the progress of the rescue operation.

Rescue site

　　　　　　 However, geological experts from the Wildlife and Plant Protection Committee of Thailand National Park found that water from a small river outside the cave flowed into the cave, and measures are being taken to stop the river from flowing into the cave.

Rescue site

　　　　　　 Time goes by little by little, and the most worrying thing is whether the missing football team can "survive". Let’s find out what happened in the form of question and answer. What are the chances of these children surviving?

　　　　　　 Question 1: What happened?

　　　　　　 Twelve young soccer players and a coach in Thailand disappeared after "exploring" in a cave in a national park on June 23. Many rescue teams in Thailand and abroad continued to work for days, and still have no results.

　　　　　　 This cave, with a total length of over 10 kilometers, is the fourth longest cave in Thailand. Due to the complicated terrain in the cave, no one has completed the whole journey so far. Since the disappearance of 13 people, many areas in the cave have been flooded by rain, and silt has accumulated in the water, which has made the search and rescue work very difficult.

　　　　　　 Question 2: How many people are involved in the rescue at present?

　　　　　　 It is understood that Thailand has sent at least 1,000 rescuers to carry out search and rescue around the clock; In addition, China, Britain, the United States, Australia, Myanmar, Laos and other countries have sent cave exploration experts and rescue teams to support this operation. China cave rescue experts who have arrived in Thailand said that they have brought underwater robots, diving equipment, 3D imagers, etc., and will help Thailand to search and rescue the lost people through multi-pronged methods such as cave diving, shaft exploration, joint drilling and aviation rescue.

　　　　　　 Question 3: What is the current search and rescue plan?

　　　　　　 According to Yin Narongsa, the government of Chiang Rai, who is in command of the rescue front line, several search and rescue schemes are being carried out at the same time, including pumping rainwater out of the cave with a high-pressure pump, drilling holes at the end of the cave and on the rock wall, sending the search and rescue personnel into the cave from the shaft surveyed above the mountain, and sending frogmen to search for the missing persons. These schemes mainly focus on pumping water. At present, dozens of water pumps have been added in the local area to step up the drainage of floods in the cave while it does not rain. At the same time, rescuers sent a voice to the cave and threw packages containing food, water and mobile phones into the cave, hoping to let the lost people know that the rescue has been going on.

　　　　　　 Question 4: How likely are the trapped people to survive?

　　　　　　 Some cave experts believe that the football team with players aged between 11 and 16 and its 25-year-old coach have better physical fitness than ordinary people. It is reported that they are not exploring the cave for the first time, and they have a certain understanding of the terrain of the cave, and they should carry food with them. When food is exhausted and there is water, people can survive for two weeks at most, so they still have the possibility of survival.

　　　　　　 However, experts pointed out that the limestone at the top of the cave drips more water in the rainy season, and the water level in some areas of the cave is as high as 7 meters, so the clothes of the trapped people are likely to get wet. In addition, the temperature in the cave is low, and being trapped in the claustrophobic space for a long time leads to psychological changes. Their situation is still dangerous and rescue is urgent.

　　On July 6, experts discussed in front of an intelligent generation painting about Shanghai. On the same day, the 2023 World Artificial Intelligence Conference kicked off at the Shanghai World Expo Center. Xinhua news agency

　　The 2023 World Artificial Intelligence Conference was held in Shanghai from July 6 to 8. The theme of this conference is "Zhilian World Generates the Future". More than 400 exhibitors are exhibiting scientific and technological achievements in the fields of large models, chips, robots and intelligent driving in the main exhibition area of 50,000 square meters of the Expo Exhibition Hall. The number of exhibitors and exhibition area are the highest in history.

　　The conference launched forward-looking discussions on frontier topics such as big model, generative artificial intelligence, scientific intelligence, embodied intelligence and meta-universe, and looked forward to the new form of human civilization after "intellectual change". Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi Group, said a few years ago that the past decade is the era of mobile Internet, and the future is the era of intelligent interconnection of all things. "Whoever grasps AI will grasp the future." To this end, all countries and regions have been working on the AI ? ? track in recent years.

　　At present, how is the overall development of AI industry in China? What layouts are being made at the national and local levels? As the venue of WAIC, what position does Shanghai occupy?

　　Global manufacturers rush to the beach AI Blue Ocean

　　Since the beginning of this year, ChatGPT, a chat bot developed by OpenAI, has spread all over the world, which has triggered a wave of competition among technology giants. Baidu ERNIE Bot, Ali Tongyi Qianwen, Tencent Mixed Assistant, JD.COM ChatJD, and Huawei Pangu all came to the end, rushing to the vast blue ocean of artificial intelligence.

　　In fact, language recognition and human-computer interaction are just the tip of the iceberg in the application of AI technology. As Kai-Fu Lee, President and CEO of innovation works, said, AI technology will have a far-reaching impact on finance, manufacturing, education, film and television, entertainment, medical care and many other fields. In reality, artificial intelligence has already spread all over various production scenes, such as the automatic unmanned wharf in Qingdao, the unmanned locomotive in Fankou Mine in Shaoguan, and the research and development of AI innovative drugs in the field of smart medical care.

　　This time, WAIC in Shanghai showed us a broad picture of AI life: competing with AI robots to shoot and play chess, enjoying its creation of paintings and calligraphy on a round fan, and tasting its ground coffee … … It can be said that human beings are entering the "artificial intelligence era". It is believed that before long, it will become an indispensable necessity for human beings like computers, cars and even air and water.

　　It is precisely for this reason that all countries are striving for AI as a key industry with priority development. Among them, not only major economies such as the United States, Britain, the European Union, Japan and South Korea continue to strengthen policy guidance, increase support, and seize the commanding heights of artificial intelligence competition, but some small and medium-sized countries also go all out and even "All in AI".

　　For example, the Danish government released the National Strategy of Artificial Intelligence in March 2019, aiming to make Denmark get the maximum benefit from the huge potential of artificial intelligence. In November of that year, Singapore also released an 11-year national artificial intelligence strategy, and planned to invest 500 million Singapore dollars to promote the application of artificial intelligence technology in five major areas: transportation and logistics, smart cities, medical care, education and security, and strive to complete the intelligent upgrade of national infrastructure in 2030.

　　As for China, in terms of quantity and scale, it has become a big country of artificial intelligence. According to the calculation of China ICT Institute, by the end of 2022, there were 27,255 representative enterprises of artificial intelligence in the world and 4,227 enterprises in China, accounting for about 16% of the world. In 2022, the scale of artificial intelligence core industry in China reached 508 billion yuan, up 18% year-on-year. All these mean that China’s artificial intelligence industry has entered the first gradient in the world, and its industrial scale continues to expand, and its industrial ecology has taken shape.

　　On the other hand, as Mei Jianping, deputy director of the High-tech Department of the Ministry of Science and Technology and a first-class inspector, pointed out at the 2023 Zhongguancun Forum on Artificial Intelligence Open Ecological Construction, China still lags behind the world’s leading level in the fields of underlying algorithms, key software and hardware, and ecosystems. How to narrow this gap and whether we can overtake in corners in the AI field is related to the national movement, which requires the joint cooperation and joint efforts of the state and local governments, science and technology and industry.

　　Who is the first city in domestic AI industry?

　　2016 is known as "the first year of artificial intelligence". That year, AlphaGo, an artificial intelligence robot developed by Google’s team, defeated the Go champion twice, causing a sensation. In May of the same year, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments jointly issued the Implementation Plan of the Three-year Plan of Artificial Intelligence in internet plus, and in July of the following year, the Development Plan of a New Generation of Artificial Intelligence was released. As a result, the domestic AI industry gained more policy and financial support and began to enter the fast lane of development.

　　According to the statistics of China Artificial Intelligence Industry Picture Book, the number of artificial intelligence-related enterprises in China increased from 279,500 to 600,500 in just six years from 2016 to 2022, more than doubling.

　　In terms of geographical distribution, Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta and Beijing have obvious advantages as the three major gathering areas of domestic artificial intelligence industry. Among them, the number of artificial intelligence-related enterprises in Guangdong reached 130,000, ranking first in all provinces and cities, and the total amount was more than twice that of the second place. Since then, 56,582 companies in Jiangsu, 47,793 companies in Beijing, 42,785 companies in Zhejiang and 39,202 companies in Shanghai have formed the head camp of domestic AI industry together with Guangdong.

　　As far as the number of enterprises is concerned, in the past six years, the number of AI-related enterprises in Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces has grown the fastest, with 95,701, 42,560 and 35,009 newly added respectively. In addition, Shandong, Anhui, Sichuan, Beijing, Shanghai and other provinces and cities have also added more than 20,000.

　　Among them, Beijing, where Baidu and ByteDance are located, said that it would be a "leading city" for artificial intelligence; Shanghai, with Microsoft, IBM, Infineon and other layouts, proposed to speed up the creation of artificial intelligence "Shanghai Highland"; Shenzhen, with Tencent and Huawei, is committed to becoming the "industrial highland" of artificial intelligence … … Then, in this fierce AI industry competition, who is currently leading temporarily, and who can finally reach the top of the first city of artificial intelligence?

　　In terms of the number of enterprises alone, from 2016 to now, the city with the largest number of new AI enterprises is Shenzhen, with 42,598, followed by Guangzhou (29,922) and Beijing (21,483). Therefore, Shenzhen has become the first city in the national artificial intelligence "density" with the total number of 63,800 AI-related enterprises. However, the advantages of Shenzhen are mainly concentrated in the downstream of the AI industrial chain. Although the scale and innovation of the industrial chain are leading the country, there are insufficient financing and growth.

　　According to the data of China Artificial Intelligence Industry Illustrated, during the period from 2016 to 2022, the top five cities in total financing amount of AI-related enterprises were: Beijing (6,716.182 billion), Shanghai (4,355.743 billion), Shenzhen (2,706.635 billion), Hangzhou (1,769.097 billion) and Nanjing (8,036.44).

　　Generally speaking, the AI industry in all parts of China is still in the stage of letting a hundred flowers blossom and competing with each other, and the winner has not yet been decided, which also gives opportunities for all localities to catch up and catch up with each other.

　　Shanghai’s AI industry ambition

　　Just the afternoon before the opening of the 2023 World Artificial Intelligence Conference, a high-level expert meeting on artificial intelligence strategy consultation attended by both the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor was held in Shanghai, which showed the importance attached to the future development of the AI industry and the "Shanghai as a universal artificial intelligence".

　　Subsequently, Wu Qing, member of the Standing Committee of Shanghai Municipal Committee and executive deputy mayor, attended the AI+ Industry-Finance Collaborative Development Forum in Wisdom and delivered a speech, which directly declared the ambition of Shanghai’s AI industry: Shanghai regards artificial intelligence as one of the three leading industries and accelerates the creation of artificial intelligence "Shanghai Highland".

　　Shanghai is emboldened to say so. At present, the number of AI enterprises above designated size in Shanghai has reached 350, almost doubling in the past five years; The output value reached more than 380 billion yuan, almost three times that of five years ago; The number of industrial talents has reached 230,000, accounting for about one-third of the country.

　　The achievement of these achievements is inseparable from Shanghai’s early planning and long-term layout of artificial intelligence. As early as 2017, Shanghai issued the "Implementation Opinions on Promoting the Development of a New Generation of Artificial Intelligence in this Municipality", which made AI a priority development strategy for Shanghai for the first time. Since then, the Implementation Measures for Accelerating the High-quality Development of Artificial Intelligence, the Action Plan for Building an Artificial Intelligence Shanghai Highland and Building a First-class Innovative Ecology (2019-2021) and the Tenth Five-Year Plan for the Development of Artificial Intelligence Industry in Shanghai have been successively formulated.

　　On September 22, 2022, the Regulations of Shanghai Municipality on Promoting the Development of Artificial Intelligence Industry was officially promulgated, which is also the first provincial-level local regulation in the field of artificial intelligence in China.

　　In terms of organizational guarantee, Shanghai has established a leading group for artificial intelligence industry work and a Shanghai artificial intelligence strategic consulting expert Committee; In terms of resource integration, Shanghai has built the country’s first pilot zone for innovative application of artificial intelligence and the national experimental zone for innovative development of new generation artificial intelligence; In terms of ecosystem, Shanghai has successively established the municipal artificial intelligence industry association, the global academic alliance of artificial intelligence in colleges and universities, the alliance of young AI scientists and other industry organizations.

　　At the same time, Shanghai attaches great importance to giving full play to its advantages as an international financial center and providing a steady stream of living water for the development of the AI industry. For example, the establishment of Shanghai artificial intelligence industry investment fund to promote the listing of a number of leading enterprises in science and technology innovation board; Give AI key technology projects no more than 30% of the project investment; Encourage private enterprises to invest in AI infrastructure and provide interest subsidies; Issue "AI computing vouchers", focusing on supporting &hellip, an enterprise that rents smart computing power and is used for core algorithm innovation and model development; …

　　At present, Shanghai’s artificial intelligence industry is in a "butterfly change period" from local exploration to overall promotion, from pilot application to empowerment, and from gathering wisdom to attracting talents. Firmly grasping the wave of new scientific and technological revolutions such as artificial intelligence will not only help to accelerate the leap-forward development of science and technology, industrial optimization and upgrading, and overall productivity jump in Shanghai, but also inject surging momentum into building a modern international metropolis with world influence.

In chengde mountain resort, the Lake Saihu is beautiful in winter, and an ice rink "hides" in the quiet and beautiful scenery. This ice rink was established spontaneously by local citizens who love ice and snow sports in the early years. Every winter, it attracts many sports teams and citizens to come for training and play, and becomes the punching place for "online celebrity". In recent years, Chengde City has made use of abundant ice and snow resources to develop the ice and snow industry and promote the development of ice and snow sports. This ice rink has been built as an important venue for the local ice and snow sports.
