?central government in June 2009. More than 10,000 researchers and engineers from hun
dreds of domestic institutes, enterprises and universities took part in the AG600 pr亚博yabo平台会所品茶微信
ogram. Construction of the first prototype began in March 2014 and was completed in July 2016.
亚博yabo平台会所The seaplane made its maiden flight in December 2017 in Zh uhai, Guangdong p
rovince, taking off and landing at an airport. Ten months later, it carried out its fi
rst takeoff and landing on water at Zhanghe Reservoir in Hubei province’s Jingmen.亚博yabo平台会所
With a length of 37 meters and a wingspan of 38.8 meters, the AG600 is roughly the size of a Boeing 737. Powered by four do
亚博yabo平台会所品茶微信mestically designed WJ-6 turboprop engines, it has a maxim um takeoff weight of 53.5 metric tons. It is the
world’s biggest amphibious aircraft, surpassing Japan’s ShinMaywa US-2 and Russia’s Beriev Be-200.
The AG600 will mainly be tasked with aerial firefighting and maritime se亚博yabo平台会所
arch and rescue operations. It can also be refitted to conduct marine environm
ental inspections, marine resource surveys as well as personnel and supply transport, AVIC said.
The aircraft is designed for land and water takeoffs and landin亚博yabo平台会所品茶微信
gs and has an operational range of about 4,500 kilometers. It can carry 50 people.
When assigned to fight forest fires, it can collect 12 tons of water from a lake or sea in 20 sec
亚博yabo平台会所onds and use it to douse blazes over an area of about 4,000 square meters, the company added.
Wang Yanan, editor-in-chief of Aerospace Knowledge magazine, said the A
G600 may be of interest to countries with extensive coastlines or many islands becau亚博yabo平台会所品茶微信
se the seaplane is suitable for maritime operations as it is much faster and more flexible than ships.
Wang said the aircraft has much room for improvement including using more advanced compo
site materials or stronger engines that will further boost its range and carrying capacity.

Reform will promote innovation. Innovation will generate new demand and prompt Chinese enterprises to impr
亚博yabo平台会所品茶微信ove their quality, while technological innovation is key to their development and expansion. And to c

Last year, China’s total in vestment in R&D accounted for 2.18 percent of GDP, equivalent to the average of OECD countries, with the average R&D intensity o
亚博yabo平台会所f high-tech enterprises and A-share listed companies being about 3 percent and 4.87 percent.
Higher R&D investment has increased the enterprises’ capacity for independent innovation and competition advantage.
In particular, since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in November 2012, which for亚博yabo平台会所
mulated the innovation-driven development strategy and five new development concepts, Chinese en
亚博yabo平台会所品茶微信terprises have increased R&D investment and achieved remarkable breakthroughs in core technologies. In
fields as important as aviation, railways and 5G technology, Chinese enterprises have even taken a leading position.
Huawei is a good example of an innovation-driven high-tech Chinese company.亚博yabo平台会所
For years Huawei’s R&D intensity has been above 14 percent. In actual terms, Huawei’s R&D investment las
亚博yabo平台会所品茶微信t year was 101.5 billion yuan ($14.77 billion)-the fifth-highest in the world and more than that of Microsoft, Apple an
d Intel. Also, by the end of last year, Huawei had more than 87,800 global patents. No wonder Huawei’s R&D in
vestment and abundant innovation have placed Huawei at 61 on the 2019 Fortune Global 500 list.亚博yabo平台会所品茶微信

t Institute at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said China
‘s agricultural sector was plagued by inefficient product ion practices for亚博yabo平台会所品茶微信
many years, while annual output was highly susceptible to changes in climate.
For example, from 1959 to 1961 large parts of the country ex perienced a severe drought.亚博yabo平台会所
In 1961, the arid conditions reduced the total crop yield by 61 million metric tons, a 30 percent fall from 1958.
Since the early 1980s, the central leadership has attached great significan
亚博yabo平台会所ce to agricultural innovation. In 2015, investment in scientific and technological research reached 55 billion yu
an ($7.8 billion at today’s rates), compared with 720 mi llion yuan in 1978, Du said.
According to the ministry, more than 96 percent of fields dedicated to the cultivation亚博yabo平台会所品茶微信
of major crops, including rice, corn and wheat, are sown with high-yield, resilient species.
亚博yabo平台会所A number of crop-breeding platforms that employ scientifically proven approaches-such as the use of “dwarf-st
erile” wheat, the “super rice” system and hybrid corn breeding-have been established to fast-t
rack improvements in edible crops and ensure the food supply is reliable and safe in the long term.
The wide application of modern farming techniques ha亚博yabo平台会所品茶微信
s also helped farmers to raise yields and reduce damage to the environment.
At present, environmentally friendly methods are used to prevent and control pests on 56.7 mill
ion hectares under cultivation, accounting for 15 percent of the total area affected by such pests.
亚博yabo平台会所Meanwhile, smarter use of pesticides in demonstra
tion areas has reduced the use of chemicals by 20 to 30 percent, the ministry said.
The use of fertilizers has been further contained as a result of a nationwide campaign l亚博yabo平台会所品茶微信
aunched in 2005. It aims to tailor the use of synthesized fertilizers to suit local soil conditions
and improve awareness of the scientific management of fertilizers among farmers.

arlier this year, iQiyi also launched its own restoration project featuring the use of ZoomAI, a video-en亚博yabo平台会所
hancing solution devised by the company, to restore and remaster 50 select TV dramas.
亚博yabo平台会所Before the adoption of new technologies, restoration of the old wor ks, most often in lower resolution, was done manually and it
took a day to restore a 40-minute-long episode. Now, iQiyi’s ZoomAI software, comprising algorithm modules suc
h as color enhancement, sharpening, and white balance, can restore a high resolution feature film in just one hour.亚博yabo平台会所
The restoration process starts with scanning the film negative s or prints into a digital pict
亚博yabo平台会所品茶微信ure and raw sound format. Then each frame of the scanned material undergoes an automated digital res
oration process that involves the correction of color, brightness, and contrast. The process also involves the dig
ital removal of scratches and unnecessary noises, restoration and remastering of sound, said Liu Junhui, a senior director from iQiyi.亚博yabo平台会所
Even with the aid of AI technologies, digital restoration of old productions is no mean fea
亚博yabo平台会所品茶微信t, as increasing the image resolution is one thing, but restoring its original texture is quite another, which requ
ires technologies, as well as a craftsmanship spirit. For instance, 30-plus members of the Youku digital res
toration team worked for as long as a month to fully restore the 1983 megahit,?The Bund .
“Our team has made various attempts to enhance audiences’ viewing experien亚博yabo平台会所
ce. If only the definition is increased through transcoding, audiences may feel that the im
ages have been doctored through filters. So we went to great lengths to restore the texture that is unique to the pe
riod when the classical series was shot,” said Guo Linna, a senior visual optimization engineer from Youku. 亚博yabo平台会所品茶微信
Though Youku’s digital restoration team is made up of no more than 40 members who
do not work full time, every week it can restore 100-plus episodes of old TV dramas.
Speaking of her original motivation, Guo said that she chose to restore those old TV series because on the one hand, she wa

?war is intensifying within the US. For example, the US Chamber of Commerce – one of the country’s most powerful bu
亚博yabo平台会所siness lobbies – has called for the reversal of all tariffs imposed over the past two years.
The effects of the trade war have already spread to cross-border investment
. In recent years, rising Chinese production costs have driven many foreign enterp亚博yabo平台会所女神会所
rises – and, increasingly, even Chinese enterprises – to relocate their operations to lower-cost countries such as
Vietnam and Thailand. The trade war is accelerating this process. According to the Vietnamese government, inward for
亚博yabo平台会所eign direct investment increased by nearly 70 percent year-on-year in the first five months of 2019, the highest such i
ncrease since 2015. Mea nwhile, the growth of US investment in China is slowing.亚博yabo平台会所女神会所
Essential to improve investment environment
亚博yabo平台会所The US administration wants American companies to leave China. It is u
p to China to persuade them to stay. That means improving the local investment envi
ronment, including responding to foreign companies’ justifiable complaints – say, by strengthening intellectual p亚博yabo平台会所
roperty rights protection – and, more broadly, better adhering to World Trade Organization rules.
But the pressure on China does not end there. The US is also eager to exclude the count
亚博yabo平台会所女神会所ry’s high-tech companies from global value chains. Trump recently announced that he would allow US co
mpanies to continue to sell to Chinese high-tech giant Huawei, after a months-long campaign against the company. But it r
emains highly unlikely that the US administration – which reversed a similarly aggressive policy toward sm
artphone company ZTE last year – will abandon its efforts to strangle China’s high-tech industries.亚博yabo平台会所女神会所
China has three options. First, it could accede to US pressure to disengage from global value chains. Second, it could remain
committed to integration, hoping that, thanks to existing interconnections, sanctions on Chinese high-tech com亚博yabo平台会所
panies will also hurt their US counterparts (such as Qualcomm) enough for the US administration to back d
亚博yabo平台会所女神会所own. The third option is to focus on supporting domestic high-tech companies’ effo
rts to strengthen their own positions within global value chains and develop contingency plans.
