January 12th, 2020, this day is worth remembering for China sports.

When I woke up, the men’s volleyball team and the Olympic Games lost to their opponents in the competition for the qualification of the Tokyo Olympic Games, and both said goodbye to Tokyo.

Coupled with the China men’s basketball team, which missed the direct promotion in the World Cup and had little chance of the play-offs, it is almost certain that China’s men’s three major balls will be absent from the Olympic Games for the first time in 36 years.

Slowly hit a question mark, which is almost the state of everyone who hears the news; Leaving a string of ellipsis silently has become the mentality that many fans are accustomed to such news.

The collective loneliness of the three big balls can not help but make people look at the professional development of our sports again.

The problem of professionalism cannot be hidden.

Back in time, 40 years ago, competitive sports was still a national affair, and athletes were paid wages and allowances. In that era, sports had little to do with money, and sports left us more inspiration and emotion.

In 1994, we finally made up our mind to build a professional football league of our own. After New Year’s Day that year, 25-year-old Fan Zhiyi got his first monthly salary after becoming a "professional player" — — 2500 yuan. For ordinary people with a monthly salary of two or three hundred at that time, this is definitely an "astronomical figure."

In 2019, the China Football Association issued a "salary limit order", stipulating that contracts signed by domestic players after November 20, 2019 are new contracts, and the pre-tax maximum salary does not exceed 10 million RMB, indicating that the Football Association has "can’t stand" the high salary of players.

From the past, the income was close to ten times that of ordinary people, and now I don’t know how many times it is. The professionalization of football brings players a lot of money, but it brings more inner "fragmentation" to fans.

When we don’t have much money, our football level can still "gallop across Asia" and enter a World Cup. Why is it that when we have money, the road to professionalism has taken so long, but it is hard to win?

Although achievement is not the only thing in competitive sports, it is the most intuitive KPI to observe the development of professionalism. It is not accidental that the men’s three big balls collectively "failed" the Olympic Games, but it is a concentrated manifestation of the inherent problems of China’s sports professionalization over the years.

Professionalization is not simple imitation and excessive commercialization.

In the development of sports professionalization, European and American countries and regions are well-deserved "leaders". For example, the development of professional leagues in the United States is relatively successful, and the "four major leagues" have strong influence all over the world. The contribution of professional sports to its economic and social development far exceeds the scope of sports.

For big ball sports, the objective requirements of high intensity and strong confrontation are not ruled out, but these "congenital factor theories" are more like an excuse in the face of the fact that Japanese and Korean players are blooming in the five major leagues of European football, which makes Lei Wu "wandering" alone in Spain even more sad.

Looking back on the road that sports professional leagues have traveled for so many years, we will more or less see the shadow of mature leagues in Europe and America. It is necessary to learn advanced, but the road of sports professionalization can’t be copied successfully by copying and pasting. It looks like it is unprepared. It is doomed to fail only by working hard on fur and packaging, and it can’t walk out of its own professional road by imitating regardless of differences.

In fact, some of our leagues are almost the same as mature leagues in form. We have everything in the regular season and playoffs, and awards such as top scorer and MVP have been awarded, but we have neglected the virtuous circle of a series of more important factors behind these mature professional leagues, such as advanced concepts, supporting models, social interaction and talent training.

In addition, some people’s understanding of professional leagues is too simple, and they equate professionalism with commercialization, thinking that "investment is in place, players are rich, the market is booming, and advertisements are placed" is professionalism.

As a result, commercialization has replaced professionalism. Everything is about money, and everything is about profit. As a result, professionalism has been stumped by impetuousness and chaos, supervision and morality have lost their position, and scandals such as match-fixing, black whistle and corruption are common. Such professionalism has failed to promote the level of competition.

A hurdle that must be overcome

Furthermore, before going professional, we took the national system, so although we can win gold and silver in the Olympic Games, the gold medals we won are basically "minority events" with insufficient popularization.

However, to build a sports power, it is not only supported by harvesting gold medals in "minority events", but also must occupy a place in popular and world-wide competitive events such as "Three Big Balls". The development of such projects depends only on competition, and we have no choice but to develop professionalism.

After the pilot of football professionalization, basketball and volleyball leagues have also begun. The league is made up of clubs, but most of the clubs at that time were born out of sports teams, and they were not really professional clubs. Such "congenital deficiency" clubs should not only serve the market, but also obey the administration, and even sacrifice for the Olympic Games and the National Games strategy. Even in the context of the separation of government and enterprise and the separation of management and operation, professional leagues are not so professional.

Some people think that sports are competitive sports when they talk about it. When they talk about competitive sports, they simply equate it with the Olympic Games, and link the level of competitive sports with the Olympic gold medal. They think that the Olympics is everything, and the league serves the Olympic training. Simple thinking and gold medal worship can’t make China’s sports really strong, on the contrary, it makes China’s sports professionalization lack international vision more and more.

Under the influence of this concept, the core question of professional development, "What is the purpose of sports professionalization and whether professional leagues should be led by the market or the administration", has not been answered. The goal and direction of development are not clear, and it is common for sports professionalization reform to appear repeatedly.

The reform is bound to be painful, but once some projects experience retrogression, the previous reforms will be limited, thus returning to the old road of market sidelining and administrative command "chasing gold and winning silver", and the deep-seated reform of professionalization cannot be smoothly promoted, which is also a hurdle that must be crossed on the road of sports professionalization in China.

In fact, over the years of professionalization, we have gained world-class athletes like Yao Ming and Li Na, but we should think more about how their "golden period" came about. If we don’t understand the truth, there will be many twists and turns on the road of sports professionalization in China.

　　In recent years, domestic motorcycle groups and industries have developed rapidly, and many peripheral products are aimed at our domestic market, such as Michelin today. On April 10th, Michelin’s high-end motorcycle tire products officially entered the China market, and its lineup covers sports, leisure sports, cruising and other types.

　　The tires released this time are divided into four series. Let’s learn more about the functions of these four tires and the suitable vehicle types.

　　This tire is a tire that focuses on sports performance, and it provides excellent grip. Let’s take a look at the following technical highlights.

　　1. Michelin adaptive carcass technology +(ACT+ technology)

　　This technology adopts a carcass layer with a weaving angle of 90 degrees at the crown, which not only ensures elasticity, but also ensures the stability of linear acceleration. On the sidewall and shoulder, the carcass layer is woven at a large angle to ensure the supporting force and good corner stability.

　　2. Variable groove ratio

　　When the vehicle bends or turns 45 degrees, the groove ratio of 3.5% provides reassuring cornering grip.

　　3. Michelin double formula technology (2CT technology)

　　The front and rear wheels are equipped with different proportions of rubber formula, thus providing excellent wet and dry road grip for sports vehicles.

　　This tire is mainly used for long-distance motorcycles. It is suitable for various environments, whether it is cold, wet or other harsh road conditions, or on paved or low-friction roads, Michelin Pilot Road 4 can adapt.

　　1. Michelin X- groove technology +(XST+ technology)

　　The transverse groove design ensures excellent wetland grip; At the same time, it helps the front tire to cut the water film on the road surface during driving, and provides excellent braking force in wet weather.

　　2, chamfer groove design

　　Relieves abnormal tire wear caused by extreme conditions or sudden braking.

　　3. Variable groove ratio

　　Regardless of the inclination angle, the variable groove ratio provides a reliable guarantee for grip and drainage.

　　In fact, many riders are familiar with this tire. It is the original tire of various BMW models. This tire is mainly suitable for pulling models, and its tire life and pattern can make it have good performance on paved and unpaved roads.

　　1, chamfer groove design

　　A certain proportion of grooves are chamfered to form a "shovel" shape, which helps tires to quickly discharge mud when driving on unclosed roads. When the depth of tire tread becomes shallow, the ground contact area increases, providing stronger grip.

　　2, serrated groove design

　　The serrated groove with 3D design can help the tire improve the wet grip.

　　The Michelin Scorcher series developed and produced jointly with Harley, as the original tires of Harley’s various models, is printed with Michelin and Harley-Davidson logos.

　　1. Michelin Scorcher 11 (original tire of Harley Street, Sportster, Softail and V-Rod)

　　Excellent grip: the semi-bald tire design ensures the grounding area of the trunk road, and the optimized groove design can help effectively drain water, both of which are solid foundations for excellent grip.

　　Precise control: Michelin meridian technology ensures the accuracy and flexibility of control.

　　Excellent tire service life: Michelin racing technology and brand-new rubber formula guarantee durability and high performance.

　　2. Michelin Scorcher 31 (original tires of Harley Dyna, Sportster and cruise models)

　　Excellent comfort and handling: the flexible carcass and tire characteristics help the car to move flexibly on winding roads.

　　Long mileage: The application of carbon black reinforced formula technology helps tires to run a satisfactory mileage on the basis of giving consideration to performance.

　　3. Michelin Scorcher 32 (original tire of Harley Fat Bob model)

　　Innovative "reverse" pattern design: ensure uniform tire pattern wear.

　　Reliable grip: the design of large flower pattern has achieved excellent grip on dry and wet ground, allowing riders to enjoy flexible control and smooth riding experience.

　　Finally, after the press conference, we interviewed Mr. Liu Peng, vice president and commercial director of Michelin (China) Investment Co., Ltd., and the plans and strategies of Michelin motorcycle tires were all involved. The following is the interview record.

　　2018 Michelin motorcycle tires stationed in China product launch conference

　　Group interview shorthand

　　Interviewee: Mr. Liu Peng, Vice President and Commercial Director of Michelin (China) Investment Co., Ltd.

　　Time: April 10, 2018

　　Venue: Beijing Jingang Automobile Park International Circuit

　　Reporter: As a high-end brand of tires, Michelin has been participating in the sport of motorcycle GT. What will be the future of motorcycle tires from your point of view? Or there will be black technology that we don’t know about?

　　Liu Peng: Actually, the most typical black technology of motorcycles is dual formula, and different tire formulas are used to achieve different performances. For example, the tread is harder and the sidewall is slightly softer to provide (better) grip. This is the most important embodiment of bringing motorcycle racing formula into civilian tires. For example, some chips will be used for civilian purposes, such as tire tracking. Michelin’s investment in motorcycle racing is not only to win several championships, but also to turn the track into a testing ground and put the accumulated experience into civilian production. Therefore, Michelin’s future "black technology" will definitely be more and more, so stay tuned. Thank you.

　　Reporter: We see that manufacturers like BMW and Harley all have vehicle cooperation. After Michelin enters the China market, will it consider cooperating with domestic vehicles on motorcycles? Now that new retail is particularly hot, will our marketing channel consider the network in the future, and is there any possibility of such development?

　　Liu Peng: That’s a good question. First of all, Michelin’s original motorcycles, such as Harley and BMW, are actually cooperated all over the world. Because the whole motorcycle circle is not so big compared with cars, we will bring this car to the China market once we have made the original match in other parts of the world. Will there be opportunities for cooperation with domestic motorcycle manufacturers? I’m sure there will be. In the past few years, the domestic motorcycle and travel culture are booming. We have seen many people like motorcycles gradually, including young people, and even people my age who used to be jokingly called "uncle greasy" have begun to like motorcycles. So we think there are many opportunities.

　　Regarding the purchase method, 80% of consumers will search online when buying products like motorcycles, and then buy them online or offline. We are constantly exploring which way is the most economical and effective for consumers and can provide accurate choices. You may see that for many products today, if consumers are not clear about their car conditions and routes, they need detailed professional consultation. The purchase behavior is only the final result, and the previous decision-making consultation process is also very important for us. Therefore, we first put motorcycle tires into the China market, and now we are also studying the future online sales to make some channel preparations for the future.

　　Reporter: At the press conference, Michelin always emphasized the word "responsibility", and we saw a big company’s concern about riding safety. We know that there are still many shortcomings in motorcycle riding safety in China. So after Michelin entered China, did it take any measures related to driving safety?

　　Liu Peng: Sure. For motorcycles, we advocate freedom, but it doesn’t mean freedom to do whatever we want. We must be related to safety. Including Michelin’s partners, they are not just doing business. In fact, many of them have their own driving experience and training arrangements. Michelin works with them to bring safe driving-to their own safety, to the safety of pedestrians or other vehicles, and to the safety of society. We also talk about "chivalry". In fact, this group of China Motorsports has made great contributions to the sense of social responsibility. We hope to continue to carry it forward, and work with these consumers and partners to promote the progress of social responsibility and safety responsibility.

　　Reporter: In China, does Michelin have a development plan for the event sponsors?

　　Liu Peng: You have seen a lot of pictures of Michelin on the track. In the past weekend, Michelin sponsored the grassroots motorcycle race in the GPGP Golden Harbor Grand Prix. We hope that more people will join in motorcycle sports to promote the culture of motorcycle travel. We have been paying attention to the future motorcycle racing activities in China. Because motorcycle is a passionate sport, we hope to bring passion into the market. Of course, motorcycle sport is the best means.

　　Reporter: The image of Mr. Michelin Tire is very famous, and many people around us also know this brand. But at present, we rarely see Michelin-authorized motorcycle shops providing us with tire or tire changing services. Many of our members buy tires from WeChat, third parties and even foreign channels. What kind of measures or development plans are there in the channel in the future?

　　Liu Peng: Michelin has been in China for 29 years, and I am an early employee. At that time, we promoted Michelin, and many stores didn’t know the image and brand. Today, as a brand known to drivers and motorcycle enthusiasts, we have spent a lot of energy. Brand promotion is on the one hand, and landing channels are on the other. Today, we just started to bring the motorcycle brand into the China market, and we also started to have partners in China. The next step is to choose stores and retailers in China, and then build the retailers around riders. Because buying online or abroad can’t guarantee the source, we hope consumers can buy regular products. In addition to products, there are more technical contents in the whole installation and balance. We hope that riders can not only buy genuine tires, but also get regular maintenance services, which can make riding safer.

　　Reporter: Tires can last for several years from production, and it is not recommended to use them after several years.

　　Liu Peng: Tires are not fruits and vegetables. They are not steamed today. They must be eaten in the afternoon and will be broken tomorrow. Rubber has a long shelf life. Under normal circumstances, tires that are about five years old can actually be used. But there may be some misunderstanding now. If you buy the tires produced this week, you will feel a lot of losses. But in fact, it is the same as shoes. No one has ever asked which year the shoes were produced and before which they were worn.

　　Reporter: Hello, why did Michelin choose this time to enter the China market for motorcycle tires?

　　Liu Peng: Actually, we have been studying the motorcycle market for many years. Every year, we study the market capacity, the classification of the whole market and the classification of riders. After 2013, we saw that the motorcycle industry has changed very quickly, especially with more and more heavy locomotives, and our target group has gradually increased. We feel that the main purpose of putting it on the market at this time point is to meet the demand of fast-growing heavy-duty locomotives and high-displacement locomotives. In the past few years, we have been doing internal research, because as an international enterprise, motorcycle tires are not only a business, but also a sense of social responsibility. If you want to bring the products to the China market, you must have sufficient technical certification, after-sales service system construction and brand promotion, not simply bringing the tires in, so the preparation time for our premise is very long. In fact, including team building, import process and certification process, we have made full preparations for a long time. Now, we think it is time to enter this market.

　　Reporter: You just talked about the motorcycle culture and the motorcycle market in China. I would like to ask if this conference means that high-end brands have officially entered China. Will there be any market behavior to promote China motorcycle culture in the next two or three years or longer?

　　Liu Peng: There must be, including yesterday, discussing what kind of promotion activities we can participate in. Many of our activities are under planning, and I hope you can participate in them in the future. Thank you.

　　Reporter: Hello, because our country has many policies against motorcycles, how much impact does this have on Michelin’s market in China? If there is no such policy, what will happen?

　　Liu Peng: The most basic thing for an enterprise to do a business is to abide by the laws and regulations of the local country. Some areas are called limited motorcycles, some areas are called no motorcycles, and some areas have no such regulations. We fully respect national laws and regulations, not only for restrictions, but also for example, drivers themselves must have normal licenses, and the requirements of retail stores, including environmental protection requirements.

　　We believe that with the development of the tourism culture, it will also help the construction of national laws and regulations. As a manufacturer, we need to do our job well, meet more opportunities in the future, and promote good motorcycle culture to more enthusiasts.

　　Reporter: After Michelin motorcycle tires enter China this time, what are the expectations for the market in the future?

　　Expectations for the market are better than we thought. In the next three years’ development plan, we hope to occupy more sales share in China market. We didn’t come up with this by patting our heads, but when we visited the retail store, they told me that you had finally arrived and waited for you for a long time. Therefore, we have reason to believe that the future sales situation will get better and better.

　　Liu Peng: Motorcycle products are not a particularly large number of products for us. As we said just now, it is a passionate product that brings brand value. Therefore, we don’t have particularly high requirements for the sales in the early stage. We hope that our partners will lay a good foundation and establish a good retail network and service network in the first two or three years, just like planting-there is good soil, and a seed will be put in, and a result will come out slowly. We don’t want to ask for a quick result in a short time. The market needs to be cultivated and maintained slowly. Michelin has the confidence and strength.

　　BEIJING, Beijing, January 1 ST Title: Prospect of 2018 Major Events: 40th Anniversary of Reform and Opening-up of State Institutions.

　　Zhongxin. com reporter Ma Xueling Qi Feng Li Jinlei

　　With the arrival of 2018, China, which has entered a new era, has started a new journey.

　　Following the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s transition last year, a new leader of state institutions will be elected during the National People’s Congress this year. This year is the first year after the 19th National Congress, and also the 40th anniversary of reform and opening-up. With new historical coordinates, the development of China has attracted worldwide attention.

　　In addition, a series of major events related to the national economy and people’s livelihood in 2018 are also worthy of attention, including the reform of the supervision system, the national overall planning of endowment insurance, and the Chang ‘e IV’s flight to the moon.

　　These political events are crucial.

　　— — The change of state institutions

　　In October 2017, the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China drew a new blueprint for the development of China, and the first plenary session of the 19th Central Committee elected a new central leadership group.

　　In March this year, the National People’s Congress, the Central Government and Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference will also complete the transition and elect a new leader.

　　2018 is the first year to implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress, the 40th anniversary of reform and opening-up, and a crucial year to build a well-off society in an all-round way and implement the 13th Five-Year Plan. After the re-election, in the first year of the new leadership collective’s performance, what attitude will open the situation and attract much attention.

　　China News Service reporter Liu Zhenshe

　　— — Establishment of the State Supervision Commission

　　Since the pilot area was determined in 2016, the reform of the national supervision system has attracted much attention from public opinion at home and abroad. At present, on the basis of pilot projects in Beijing, Shanxi and Zhejiang provinces, this reform is being implemented nationwide.

　　At present, with the ongoing meeting of local people’s congresses, three-level supervisory committees of provinces, cities and counties are also being established one after another.

　　According to the plan, during the two sessions of the National People’s Congress in March this year, the draft State Supervision Law will be reviewed, and the the National Supervisory Commission (NSC) will also be established. As a national anti-corruption agency with China characteristics, how does the State Supervision Commission start? How does the national supervision law, as an anti-corruption national legislation, show its power? These have attracted the attention of the outside world.

　　— — Redeployment of the Third Plenary Session

　　In January this year, the Second Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee will be held. According to the practice in recent years, every session of the CPC Central Committee holds seven plenary sessions. In addition to the second plenary session, the third plenary session will be held in the second half of the year.

　　In China’s political vocabulary, the "Third Plenary Session" is almost synonymous with China’s reform. Since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee in 1978, the eight Third Plenary Sessions held in 40 years have had an important impact on China’s reform and development. In 2013, the Third Plenary Session of the Eighteenth Central Committee opened a new course of comprehensively deepening reform in China.

　　This year coincides with the 40th anniversary of reform and opening-up. Under the new historical coordinates, what new plans and new arrangements have been made for China’s reform, which is highly anticipated.

　　— —Four home diplomacy, including the Shanghai Summit.

　　In recent years, many heavyweight international summits have been held in China, and China’s home diplomacy has attracted worldwide attention.

　　2018 is the first year of China’s diplomacy after the 19th National Congress. Foreign Minister Wang Yi also revealed to the media a few days ago that in 2018, China will do its best to host the Boao Forum for Asia, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit, the China-Africa Cooperation Forum and the China International Import Expo, creating a new chapter of win-win cooperation between China and other countries in the world.

　　Among them, China International Import Expo was held for the first time. A few days ago, at the opening ceremony of the 2017 Symposium on International Situation and China Diplomacy, Wang Yi said that the first China International Import Expo to be held in Shanghai in 2018 would be the first one specially held for imports in the world, showing the world that China is willing to open its own market and let other countries share China’s development opportunities.

　　These time nodes are important.

　　— — 40 years of reform and opening up

　　In 1978, the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China closed in Beijing, and China entered a new historical period of reform and opening up.

　　"Reform and opening up is a key measure to determine the fate of contemporary China." In the past 40 years, China’s economy has made remarkable achievements, and its society has undergone earth-shaking changes. Especially since the 18th National Congress, China has promoted comprehensive and deepening reforms with unprecedented determination and strength.

　　Forty years later, standing at the starting point of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s new era, how to take the road of reform and opening up in the future has attracted worldwide attention.

　　China News Service reporter Cice Li photo

　　— — The 5th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative

　　In 2013, the Supreme Leader of president, China, went to Kazakhstan in the west and Indonesia in the south, and put forward the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. After a thousand years, the magnificent picture of the Belt and Road was once again rolled out.

　　Over the past four years, the Belt and Road Initiative has resonated widely in the international community, with the active support and participation of more than 100 countries and international organizations around the world. It is the largest public product provided by China to the international community so far.

　　At the age of 5, how the "Belt and Road" connects the world and benefits the world has attracted much attention.

　　— — Xiong’an new area is over one year old.

　　Xiong’an new area, known as the "Millennium Plan", is another new district with national significance after Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and Shanghai Pudong New Area, and it is an important decision-making arrangement made by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to further promote the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. In the past 2017, the construction of xiong’an new area has been steadily advanced, and many enterprises, universities and hospitals have moved in.

　　The Central Economic Work Conference held not long ago made it clear that it is necessary to "make a good plan for xiong’an new area with a high starting point and high quality". Looking into the future, it is worth observing how xiong’an new area can promote the development of regional economy and how to make Yanzhao flourish.

　　— — 10th anniversary of Beijing Olympic Games

　　"Welcome to Beijing, anyone who has a dream is great … …” Now, when this familiar song is sung again, nearly ten years have passed since the Beijing Olympic Games.

　　Beijing Olympic Games has brought profound changes to China society — — China, in the post-Olympic era, has started the upsurge of national fitness, and the square dance in the streets has become a business card for a vibrant China. In the eyes of the whole people, this year, China athletes will compete in major competitions such as Pyeongchang Winter Olympics and Jakarta Asian Games.

　　After receiving the Olympic flag at the closing ceremony of PyeongChang Winter Olympics, the winter Olympic cycle will officially enter "Beijing time" — — The Beijing Winter Olympics to be held in 2022 is the first time in China’s history, and Beijing and Zhangjiakou are stepping up preparations.

　　These people’s livelihood hotspots should be paid attention to.

　　— — Old-age insurance opens national co-ordination

　　At present, endowment insurance is basically at the level of provincial overall planning. According to the requirements of the Central Economic Work Conference, this year, we should speed up the national overall planning of endowment insurance.

　　According to the information disclosed by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, in 2018, the national overall planning for endowment insurance will take the first step. First, the central adjustment system of basic endowment insurance funds will be implemented to balance the burden of endowment insurance brought about by the excessive difference in dependency ratio between regions due to population structure, especially population mobility, and to adjust the surplus and deficiency, so as to further play the role of mutual assistance and mutual assistance of endowment insurance throughout the country.

　　— — Three tax laws will be formally implemented.

　　This year, three tax laws will be implemented. Among them, the "Environmental Protection Tax Law" came into effect on January 1, 2018, and the sewage charge system that has been in operation for more than 30 years has become history. As a brand-new tax, environmental protection tax was officially levied on January 1. The environmental protection tax will all be used as local income.

　　In addition, the Tobacco Leaf Tax Law and the Ship Tonnage Tax Law will be implemented on July 1, 2018. These two are tax laws that have been upgraded from temporary tax regulations to laws. According to the translation of tax standards, tobacco tax and ship tonnage tax legislation did not add tax burden.

　　— — Add new sources of retirement income

　　Since February 1, 2018, the "Enterprise Annuity Measures" will be officially implemented. The expenses required for enterprise annuity shall be paid jointly by the enterprise and individual employees. The enterprise payment shall not exceed 8% of the total wages of the employees of the enterprise every year.

　　Employees’ participation in enterprise annuity is conducive to adding a pension accumulation on the basis of basic old-age insurance, and further improving the income level and quality of life after retirement.

　　— — The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is expected to open to traffic.

　　After more than eight years of construction, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, known as the "Everest" in the bridge industry, is now in the final stage, and this highly anticipated bridge is expected to be officially opened to traffic in the New Year.

　　After the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is completed and opened to traffic, it will realize the land connection between Zhuhai, Macao and Hong Kong for the first time, greatly shortening the distance between Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao. By then, the transportation time from Zhuhai to Hong Kong will be shortened from about one hour by water and more than three hours by land to 20 to 30 minutes.

　　As the completion and opening time of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is getting closer and closer, the construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has entered the "fast lane".

　　— — Chongqing-Guizhou railway opened

　　At the end of last month, the capacity expansion and reconstruction project of Chongqing-Guiyang Railway (Chongqing-Guiyang Railway) entered the operation test stage in an all-round way and is expected to be officially opened around the middle of this month.

　　With the completion of the Chongqing-Guiyang Railway, Chengdu-Guiyang will be shortened from the current fastest 11 hours to 3.5 hours, and this railway has also become the "fast lane" connecting northwest, south and east China in southwest China.

　　According to the introduction of the Ministry of Communications a few days ago, in 2018, it will accelerate the construction of railways and intercity railways in the central and western regions, and promote the construction of Zhengzhou-Wan high-speed railway, Yinxi high-speed railway, Hangzhou-Wenzhou railway and Jingxiong high-speed railway. It can be expected that in the new year, more high-speed rail lines will bring practical convenience to people’s lives.

　　— — The Beidou-3 system was basically completed.

　　The ground is in full swing, and the sky is not far behind. Combing many big projects in China in 2018, Beidou system construction has attracted much attention.

　　According to the plan, China will basically build the Beidou-3 system by the end of 2018, giving priority to providing services along the Belt and Road, and finally build a world-class global satellite navigation system by the end of 2020.

　　Since the Beidou satellite navigation system was opened for more than five years, its capabilities have been continuously enhanced and it has become a "national business card".

　　— — Chang ‘e IV flew to the moon.

　　2018 is very important and wonderful. If you are lucky, your message may fly to deep space!

　　The mission of China’s lunar exploration project Chang ‘e-4 is scheduled to be launched twice in 2018: the Chang ‘e-4 relay star will be launched in the first half of the year and the Chang ‘e-4 detector will be launched in the second half. From December 19, 2017 to March 6, 2018, the Center for Lunar Exploration and Aerospace Engineering collected messages from people all over the world. The names of all participants and the preferred 20,000 messages will be carried on the Chang ‘e-4 relay star and fly to deep space to start a lunar exploration trip.

　　Chang ‘e IV will realize the first soft landing and patrol survey on the back of the moon. China’s lunar exploration project is planned to be in three phases of "circling, falling and returning", in which the task of the second phase is to realize a soft landing on the lunar surface and automatic patrol survey.
