Can artificial intelligence speak "foreign languages"? -On Natural Language and Computer Language

Language is an important tool for human beings to express their communication and thinking. Language reflects people’s thoughts, and people use language to communicate, express and create. The daily language used by human beings is called natural language, which includes vocabulary, pronunciation, semantics and grammar. The language used for machine programming is called computer language, which consists of numbers, characters and grammatical rules. Human natural languages are in different languages and belong to different language families, and computer languages are also divided into various categories according to different writing rules. Language intelligence, the ability of people to communicate and think in writing through language dialogue, is regarded as an aspect of human intelligence. In contrast, a machine (computer) has the ability to recognize computer language, run programs and perform operations, and computer language can be regarded as a language inherent in the machine. If the computer can understand the natural language as a "foreign language", realize the translation of natural language, understand and execute people’s commands, and even talk to people, can it be considered that the computer has language intelligence similar to that of people? This paper will answer this question.

Definition of natural language and computer language

The language used in human daily life is called natural language. Humans use language to express ideas, communicate and describe objects. As a carrier, language carries the connotation of words. Many languages of human beings belong to different language families, but languages can correspond and translate with each other. Every language is a system including vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation, in which vocabulary is used to express itself according to grammatical rules. As the philosopher and linguist Chomsky said in Language and Mind, "People who know a certain language have mastered a set of rules system, which assigns sounds and meanings to countless possible sentences in a certain way." However, individuals who use natural language may not be aware of the rules and connotations of this language system: "People who know the language are not aware that they have mastered these rules or are using them, and there is no reason to assume that this knowledge of language rules can be brought into consciousness."

The acquisition of natural language is based on life and social interaction. The process for children to master a language is to get in touch with words and sentences through a large number of dialogues, acquire sentence models in conversations and chats, and then master grammar. It can be seen that the learning of natural language is from semantics to grammar. Therefore, some scholars discuss language acquisition from the standpoint of human language talent theory. For example, Chomsky thinks that there is a natural universal grammar in the human brain, which exists in a place called language acquisition device. He tried to explain the relationship between language research and human nature, and thought that language reflected the process of human mind and determined all aspects of ideological characteristics and development.

From the perspective of language system, natural language is both stable and changeable. On the premise that a language exists, its vocabulary and basic grammar are stable. At the same time, the language is constantly updated, derived and developed due to the changes of the times and environment during its inheritance and use.

Computer language refers to the language that uses numbers and characters to write programs according to the prescribed grammatical rules, so that computers can do all kinds of work. It includes machine language, assembly language, high-level language and so on. In different ways of thinking about programming and programming models, statements composed of characters and grammatical rules perform operations according to instructions. The original intention of computer language design is to enable people to better control and operate computers. At present, every action and step made by all computers are carried out according to the program compiled by computer language. The operation of a computer is a process of accepting input, matching objects and outputting answers. In the execution operation, the calculator must first understand the input commands of people, and translate the natural language. The source code of the application program is translated into the target code machine language by the interpreter of the corresponding language, and then the compilation operation is carried out to translate the program source code into the target code machine language.

It can be said that computer language is the medium of man-machine dialogue. Computer language can recognize and translate natural language, perform operations and output results in its construction, and the translation process is the key to man-machine cooperation and even man-machine dialogue. The machine can only continue to perform operations after understanding the commands input by human beings. Before the emergence of intelligent machines, people’s input instructions to machines were single, but today’s intelligent machines have gradually tried to understand people’s commands through voice and image recognition. At present, this ability mainly depends on corpus analysis, enhanced matching search and deep learning.

If the vocabulary of natural language is regarded as a set of symbols and its grammar is regarded as the rules for the use of symbols, then computer language is also the use of symbols and rules. The encoding and decoding of computer input and output, as well as the operation in human-computer interaction, are also similar to the process of using language to listen, read, write and communicate with people. In this sense, computer language seems to be the natural language of computers. If the computer is truly intelligent, then in its view, human natural language can be regarded as a foreign language. But can computers be intelligent?

To compare natural language with computer language, an important perspective is to distinguish the internal logic of natural language and computer language from their logical systems. Logic is an important connotation of language, and the logical structure and grammatical system of a language are the root causes that distinguish it from other languages and languages.

Logic in Natural Language and Computer Language

In the use of natural language, ambiguity and ambiguity are inevitable, and there are misunderstandings and deviations in translation between languages. Scholars want to solve the ambiguity and ambiguity of words in expression and find the common deep structure in human language, so they invented formal language by using mathematical methods for reference. The original intention of formal language is that people want to make logic have a set of universal symbols like mathematics, so as to try to establish a universal and unambiguous language. Through this language, all thinking and reasoning can be transformed into calculus and become as accurate as mathematics. Logicians try to accurately describe the world described by natural language with formal systems and symbols, so as to make more accurate reasoning, analysis and judgment. Therefore, in the study of logical language, it also includes the study of natural language generative grammar.

Natural language can be regarded as a symbol system, in which words are symbols to express ideas under the cultural background. However, the logic in natural language is not only grammatical structure, but also semantic. The ambiguity and vagueness of some words in our daily expression are difficult to judge in grammar, but they can be simply solved by context and the introduction of context. Wittgenstein thinks that natural language is used to express objects, the meaning of a proposition or sentence comes from its real object, and the process of learning language is to master the relationship between words and objects. We can’t get meaning from a single word, but through association and activity, so natural language has meaning under certain environment and specific rules of the game.

Therefore, the logic of natural language has one more dimension than that of formal language. Natural language is a part of human mind, and the logic contained in words is the unique logical ability of human mind. As Wittgenstein pointed out, a single vocabulary and grammatical structure cannot convey complete meaning. The acquisition of natural language can’t be achieved only by learning the logical structure of language. Therefore, mind is an important concept in the acquisition of natural language.

The computer language used by the machine is also a formal language. It is the language that people first gave to the machine and became the pre-existing language in it. When computers understand and execute human commands, they need to translate natural languages into computer languages that can be understood by machines, and then carry out program operations. Formal description of natural language is very important for mechanical imitation of computer programs, but understanding imitation is different from mechanical imitation. Mechanical imitation involves formal nature, while comprehension imitation involves quasi-semantic nature. At present, computers are mainly based on mechanical imitation and talk to people’s natural language through logical language. Therefore, although the processing of natural language by computer can be regarded as a kind of translation, at present, this kind of translation is different from the mutual translation between two languages in natural language.

In the process of disambiguation, computers need a lot of knowledge, including linguistic knowledge (morphology, syntax, semantics, context, etc.) and common sense cognition about the world. This has also caused two main difficulties in natural language processing at present. Measuring computer language from the perspective of natural language is highly formalized, which makes its ability to describe context limited, and it cannot convey multi-layer information like natural language. Therefore, although formal language has advantages in accuracy, its contextual shaping ability and expressive power are inevitably weaker than natural language. In the understanding of natural language, it is difficult for formal language to fully describe how lexical devices are related to syntactic structures, thus forming the meaning of sentences, which is also an important reason for errors in computer recognition of natural language. Of course, with the development of corpus construction and corpus linguistics, the rationalism method based on syntactic-semantic rules, which was mainly used by computers in dealing with natural languages, has taken a back seat. Nowadays, the natural language processing technology has introduced statistical mathematics methods, and gradually reduced errors with the support of matching search and automatic learning methods.

Cognitive science holds that thinking and cognition are logical operations of knowledge, while computerized natural language analysis mainly depends on the expression of logical language. From the perspective of behaviorism, if the machine has a computer language, and it is constantly strengthened and more accurate in the operation execution and use the day after tomorrow, it is a kind of acquisition and consolidation. In this sense, computer language seems to be its natural language for computers. However, although natural language and computer language each contain many kinds, the reasons for their diversity are different. Different from the differences of history, culture and region, computer language is developed for different needs when writing programs. Therefore, the connotation of natural language and computer language is different. Fundamentally speaking, the mind embodied by natural language is different from that expressed by computer language.

Natural language and mind

If natural language is the tool of human expression and the medium of thinking, then the relationship between natural language and mind is inseparable. To a certain extent, people’s ability to use language is one of the manifestations of mental ability. Mind is different from intelligence. Mind is a part of intelligence, which refers to people’s abilities of perception, feeling, memory, learning, understanding and innovation.

Mental ability includes the understanding of natural language. When using natural language in daily life, we can get the pronunciation, image and connotation of the described object at the same time. In our daily life, whenever we hear someone describe something or see someone pointing to an object, we will remember what this thing is called and say the same words when we refer to that thing again in the future. We can also experience all kinds of emotions and feelings in the sentence from other people’s voices, movements, expressions and eyes, as well as body movements, tones and tones. That is to say, in natural language, the meaning of words is not limited to the meaning of a single word, but also includes the appearance of the referent, pronunciation, the intention of the narrator and the context at that time. The meanings of natural language are fully embodied in social communication and dialogue. A comprehensive grasp of these meanings requires mental ability, and vice versa. As Chomsky said: the surface rule of words forming sentences is grammar, but the real meaning of sentences is reflected in the deep structure. The deep structure is related to the surface structure through some mental operations. In other words, the connection between all words, sounds and meanings of natural language is based on the grammatical structure on the basis of mind.

Furthermore, the study of natural language is also a reflection of mental ability. Psychologists represented by Chomsky believe that language and grammatical structure are the essence and characteristics of human mind. No matter how different language users are in individual experience and ability, they will complete the task of constructing language theory system in a very similar way. We are endowed with cognitive structure and language ability in our minds, and gradually strengthen our grasp of grammar rules in the application of acquired knowledge. "On a basic level, we humans are not learning languages. The real situation is that languages grow up in our minds."

Different from Chomsky, Quine’s language theory is based on empiricism and behaviorism. He opposes both the thorough empiricism reductionism and the pure transcendental knowledge. He believes that the reason why language can express meaning depends on the acquisition of behavior, and people’s mental ability embodied in language behavior is gradually acquired. The mental ability to master and use a language is acquired and can be strengthened through training. In Quine’s view, our ability to master language comes from public knowledge, which is a kind of inheritance of human common experience and knowledge background, rather than a priori existence: "Even if we want to talk about a unique quality of sensory awareness, most of us have to turn to public objects, the color of oranges, the taste of rotten eggs, and so on. To continuously access the previous sensory data, it also depends on the reference object. Of course, we should explore the sensory awareness and sensory stimulation behind the daily discourse about objects, but these are the background of concept formation or language, not their underlying structure. "

According to Chomsky’s theory, the initial inner nature that we give to an intelligent computer can be counted as its innate "mind", of course, such a mind is given by people and is incomplete. According to Quine’s theory, under the premise of being constructed, the computer has acquired the knowledge background and can continuously strengthen its language ability in learning, which seems to mean that it is possible to obtain real intelligence in intensive learning, including the same level of language intelligence as people.

Machine language and mind

In the famous Turing test of artificial intelligence, if a person can have a long enough conversation with a machine, if the interlocutor can’t tell whether the answer comes from a machine or a person, then it is judged that the machine is intelligent. It can be seen that the main ability of Turing’s intelligent computer is the ability to understand and use language. The test defines the intelligence of the machine as several aspects: the machine should be able to answer the questions of input text; Be able to explain the meaning of words; Able to understand sentences composed of words; Be able to translate one language into another. Language ability is an important criterion to judge whether a computer has intelligence. It can even be said that from the mechanism of Turing test, language ability can be equated with intelligence.

If intelligence must master language ability, as mentioned above, although the natural language used by human beings has vague and ambiguous contents, its expressive power is indeed stronger than that of formal language. If a computer wants to have real intelligence, it must have the ability to understand natural language in different contexts. However, this ability is almost impossible in the existing technology. Dreyfus mentioned in What Computers Can’t Do that one of the difficult problems for machines to acquire intelligence is to solve the ambiguity in language. Although there is now the support of enhanced matching search and big data, the ambiguity problem of natural language has been partially solved on the surface. However, if we can really understand and use a language by referring to the way we use natural language, we need to master the necessary reasoning rules (including expert knowledge reasoning and common sense reasoning), but also have the ability to understand and comprehend the context. With this ability, you can be considered to have a mind and intelligence.

When discussing machine intelligence and mind, many researchers hope to get inspiration from the generation and structure of human intelligence. From simple development to complex thinking, human intelligence seems to have rules to follow, but if you consider it carefully, even the simplest and most elementary intelligence involves the cooperation of millions of brain cells and muscle cells on a large scale. These simple behaviors are embedded with too much intelligence, which are deep mental abilities that are not realized in daily speech and behavior. Language intelligence, as one of them, if we consider the source of language mechanism and its role in the sudden qualitative change of human intelligence, at least two basic problems will appear: first, the core semantic content of the smallest meaningful element, including the simplest element. Second, the principle of allowing unlimited combinations of symbols. If we want to analyze the physiological structure and logical structure produced by human mind step by step, we will try to endow the machine with mind by imitating this structure. It is bound to face two dilemmas: first, the human brain is a black box that cannot be completely mastered; Second, the mind, as a non-physical but real existence, is an elusive existence for technology.

From the standpoint of mentalism, it is impossible for a computer to have the same mental ability as human beings, although it can acquire more sophisticated and accurate natural language processing technology with the development of technology, and it can understand all instructions of natural language in operation and execution. From the standpoint of behaviorism, if a machine has the same language ability as human beings and can understand and express natural language, it seems that it can be considered as a machine with mind. However, the inevitable problems in the transformation between natural language and formal language also indicate that imitation based on behaviorism cannot be exactly the same as human beings.

conclusion

With the development of technology, the number of natural language texts that can be processed by computers has been increasing. Under the application requirements of text mining, information extraction, cross-language information processing, human-computer interaction and so on, the research on computer natural language processing is also advancing. However, natural language is directional and logical in description and expression, and conveys and carries culture. This means that natural language is not only a combination of some words and symbols, but also different from formal language. Although natural language is also used under certain logical grammar and has the functions of communication, exchange, expression and creation, it also has cultural attributes. The acquisition of a language not only includes the use of words and grammatical rules, but also includes the understanding and recognition of a culture. At this level, no matter how much the existing intelligent machines deal with natural languages, they have not yet possessed real intelligence. Therefore, we can take the normal use of language as extremely clear empirical evidence to prove that other creatures have the same mind as us, but not as discriminatory evidence of the source of mind and human ability.

Descartes said that "language is the core symbol of human thinking", which means that language ability and human thinking ability are inseparable and language ability is the representation of human mind. He also pointed out that two important abilities of human mind, understanding and will, cannot be realized by machines (automata). Because the mind has no substance, it is impossible for automata to create the mind by imitating the surface structure anyway. Descartes’ prediction is still correct today, although it lacks the integrity of argument. The use, expression and creation of language is an important content of human intelligence. If the intelligent machine in the future will have the same or even stronger intelligence as human beings, then it must have the same understanding and application ability as human language ability. This can’t be done at the existing computer language level. As for whether machines can learn "foreign languages" by new breakthrough technologies in the future, that is another question.

Be cautious when you want to be cheap! Buying high-grade parallel watches will constitute the crime of smuggling and should be investigated for criminal responsibility.

  CCTV News:Smuggled goods are commonly called parallel imports by consumers. Customs anti-smuggling personnel said that the purchase of smuggled watches has the risk of safeguarding rights, and if the amount involved is large, it will also bear corresponding legal responsibilities.

  In recent years, with the increase of people leaving the country, some people will also buy watches for their own use or bring them to relatives and friends abroad. If you buy watches abroad, you should declare them to the customs in accordance with state regulations when you enter the country. Watches with a price below 5,000 yuan are not subject to tax, and those with a price between 5,000 yuan and 10,000 yuan should pay 30% postal tax, and the tax rate above 10,000 yuan is 60%.

  Zhou Peng, Chief of Anti-smuggling Section of Post Office of Nanjing Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau Jinling Branch.: "If you don’t declare, if you bring one or two watches and evade taxes of less than 100,000 yuan, you will be subject to administrative punishment by the customs. Once you bring more watches and evade taxes of more than 100,000 yuan, you will be suspected of smuggling ordinary goods and articles and a fine of 1 to 5 times of tax evasion."

  Then, if domestic consumers buy watches for the sake of being cheap and knowing that they are smuggled, do they also have to bear corresponding legal responsibilities?

  Wu Weimin, Director of Investigation Department of Anti-smuggling Bureau of Hangzhou Customs.: "If consumers know that they are smuggling watches, it also constitutes the crime of smuggling. If tax-related individuals buy more than 100,000 and units buy more than 200,000, they must be investigated for criminal responsibility."

  Si Bo, Chief of Investigation Department of Tianjin Customs Anti-smuggling Bureau: "The purchase of smuggled watches has a great impact on consumers, such as the warranty and later maintenance of watches."

  Therefore, customs officers suggest that consumers must buy imported high-end watches from regular shops and channels in order to protect their legitimate rights and interests.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology went out to interview the three major operators and demanded that the rights and interests of users be effectively protected.

Today, many old operators want to switch to more favorable packages, but they can’t. Today, Wen Ku, Director of the Information and Communication Development Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, responded that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has interviewed the three major operators on this matter, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology requires enterprises to take measures. Unless otherwise agreed in the contract between the two parties, users should not be restricted in their tariff options..

The three major operators have indicated that they will strictly implement the relevant regulations issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and properly handle the problem of restricting the choice of packages by old users. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will pay close attention to the progress of this situation and effectively protect the rights and interests of users.

Recently, many netizens revealed on social platforms that China Unicom will open the old package to self-service package, which can be freely upgraded to Internet packages such as Tencent Dawang Card and Ant Bao Card. China Unicom responded to the reporter of national business daily that Unicom’s existing online and physical channel business processing system has no business processing entrance related to Internet packages, which means that old users have not been supported to switch to Internet packages at will.

However, judging from the reaction of some netizens, some Unicom business halls have taken the lead in supporting old users to freely transfer to Internet packages, but they need to go to the business hall in person. I believe that online self-service should not be far away from us.

The following is the full text of Wen Ku, Director of the Information and Communication Development Department:

China national radio reporter:

Recently, many users have reported that they hope to get access to the Internet package from an economical point of view, because the Internet package can automatically upgrade old users to more favorable new packages, but on the contrary, the operator’s traffic package can’t do this, and automatic product iteration can’t be carried out. Is there any further policy to promote ordinary people to enjoy more new benefits, or is it possible to introduce some policies that allow users to switch between the operator’s package and the Internet package independently?

Wen Ku:

Thanks for asking. We have also noticed the problem you have just reflected in our work, and we have also seen many users report this problem to us. After receiving these feedback from users, we immediately interviewed three enterprises and asked them to take measures to limit users’ tariff options unless otherwise agreed in the contract between the two parties. Here we put forward clear requirements for the three enterprises:

First, enterprises are required to strictly follow the document No.630 issued by the former Ministry in 2006, which is a notice on guaranteeing the option of mobile phone users’ tariff plans, and there is a notice document behind it, which is a notice on the implementation of market-adjusted tariffs for telecommunications services. These two documents have a clear description of this issue. We hope that the three enterprises will strictly follow this document, and will not introduce schemes that restrict old users’ choice of tariffs, and require enterprises to sort out the existing tariff schemes, and rectify them immediately if there is any behavior that restricts users’ choice of tariffs.

Second, enterprises are required to properly handle user-related complaints, and actively communicate and solve the package change requirements put forward by users. For some packages launched in cooperation with third-party Internet companies, enterprises say that they need system transformation, and at present, old users can not directly handle them online. We require basic telecommunications enterprises to provide convenience for users and handle the package change related procedures for users through manual processing.

Third, enterprises are required to make it clear that there is a timetable for the transformation plan of the Internet-related package system, which should be announced to the public in time to realize direct online handling for old users as soon as possible.

After our interview and communication, the three basic telecommunications companies all indicated that they would strictly implement the relevant regulations we have issued and properly handle the problem of restricting the choice of packages for old users. We will pay close attention to the progress of this situation in the future to effectively protect the rights and interests of users.

Thank you.

Lei Ling mixed version Lei Ling mixed version

  In terms of safety configuration, the ralink dual-engine version is in place, and the whole system comes standard, and the front row, front side and head are also standard. Only the entry version of the two models do not have reversing images, and the other high-end cars have this configuration. The back row space of the Lei Ling hybrid version is the same as that of the regular version. However, due to the addition of batteries, the trunk depth of the Lei Ling hybrid version is shorter than that of the normal version, and the backrest of the rear seat cannot be placed.

Lei Ling mixed version

  The Lei Ling hybrid version is equipped with a hybrid system consisting of a 1.8L Atkinson gasoline engine and an electric motor, with an engine of 73kW(99PS) and a peak torque of 142Nm;. Matching 53kW(72Nm) and torque of 207Nm. The comprehensive maximum power of the hybrid system is 100kW(136PS), and the official comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 4.2L/100km.

● Edit summary

  As a brother model, the two-engine version of Ralink is basically the same in space and performance as the two-engine version just listed yesterday. As the first model to be adopted at the same level, the strength of the Leiling dual-engine version is quite good. As for who to choose between Ralink and Corolla, it depends on your eyes.

 

● Competitive product analysis

Lei ling Shuang Qing

  Ralink Shuangqing is the first car in its class to introduce hybrid technology. The only competitors who are really equal are its own brother Corolla Shuangqing, which was listed the day before. As for who to choose between Ralink and Corolla, it depends on who you prefer. If you have difficulty choosing, draw lots. From a broader perspective, it seems that the subsidized product is one of the competing products of Leiling Shuangqing, but I think that Qin’s greatest competitiveness lies in the fact that it is convenient to obtain an iron brand in the city. There is a big difference between the two, and there is no direct competition. As for the non-hybrid vehicles with the same price, there are different opinions on power, configuration and fuel consumption, and technology. (Text: Pacific Auto Network Micco)

 

The golden monkey population in Shennongjia, Hubei Province likes to add "new ding"

       Cctv newsRecently, the staff of Dalongtan Golden Monkey Field Research Base in Shennongjia, Hubei Province tracked and monitored the monkeys and found that a female monkey in the golden monkey population, a national first-class protected animal, successfully gave birth to the first golden monkey baby in the base this year.

       According to the relevant person in charge of the Dalongtan Golden Monkey Field Research Base, golden monkeys give birth from the beginning of March to the end of May every year, and females are generally pregnant from August to October in the first year, and the pregnancy period is nearly 200 days. Every female monkey usually gives birth once every two years, and it takes a year for the female monkey to feed the little golden silk monkey. In order to ensure that the mother monkey recovers as soon as possible and secretes enough milk to feed the baby monkey, the base adjusts the food supply type for the mother monkey, and sends special personnel to observe and monitor the mother monkey and the baby monkey around the clock.

       According to the statistics of the base, the population of golden monkey in Shennongjia has increased from 8 in 2005 to 10, and the number has increased from more than 1,280 to more than 1,470, and the habitat area has increased from 210 square kilometers to 354 square kilometers.

The fuel consumption of Xuanjie’s 63,900 sales is 6.7L

The richness of the configuration is closely linked to the cost performance of a car, and many people have mentioned it. Let’s take a look at it next.

Let’s take a look at the appearance of Hyun Jie. The whole front of Hyun Jie looks very solid and sporty. Coupled with the headlights of fashion sports, the overall look has a certain sense of hierarchy. The car is equipped with LED daytime running lights, delayed shutdown and so on. Coming to the side of the car body, the size of the car body is 4420 mm * 1831 mm * 1653 mm. The car adopts dynamic lines, and the side wall presents a simple and fashionable design style. With large-sized thick-walled tires, it looks full of sports. In the design of the rear of the car, the rear and the front of the car echo each other from a distance, and the taillights look very spiritual. Overall, they are quite fierce.

Sitting in the car, the interior adopts elegant design, and the visual effect is quite unique. The steering wheel of the car is very hard-core and made of imitation leather, which gives people an impulse to control it. From the central control point of view, with the 10.25-inch touch-sensitive LCD central control panel, the interior style is impressive and looks sharp. Finally, let’s take a look at the dashboard and seats. The dashboard design is remarkable and the display effect is excellent. The car adopts imitation leather seats, which are wide and thick and comfortable.

Hyun Jie is matched with CVT gearbox, with the maximum power of 85KW and the maximum torque of 143N.m, and the power performance is good.

OK! Next, let’s sum up. The model class introduced today is the most considered class when many people buy their first car, mainly because the size of this class is moderate and the price is reasonable.

The first result of China Insurance Automobile Safety Index in 2024 was released.

China Consumer News Beijing News(Reporter)Wu bofeng) On September 5th, under the guidance of insurance association of china, with the support of China Automotive Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd. and China Automotive Engineering Research Institute Co., Ltd., China Automotive Technology Research and Test Center (Beijing) Co., Ltd. evaluated eight models according to the regulations of China Insurance Automobile Safety Index 2023.

It is reported that this is the first release of the evaluation results of China Insurance Automobile Safety Index in 2024, involving eight models, including Ideal MEGA, BMW i5, Ai ‘an Haobo HT, Xiaomi SU7, Toyota Corolla Ruifang, Extreme Krypton 007, Ideal L6 and Jianghuai Ruifeng RF8. Specifically, the number of SUVs and cars is three, and the other two are MPV models, of which six are new energy vehicles.

The evaluation results show that the sub-indexes of crashworthiness and maintenance economy are good (A) for six models and average (M) for two models. Among them, in terms of structural crashworthiness score, BMW i5 got excellent evaluation, and the evaluation result was zero defect; In terms of maintainability score, one model received excellent evaluation, and three models, such as Xiaomi SU7 and Toyota Corolla Ruifang, received good evaluation; In terms of collision compatibility, four models, such as Ideal MEGA and JAC Ruifeng RF8, received excellent evaluation.

Xinhua news agency reporter

Spring ploughing and summer ploughing, autumn harvest and winter storage. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, all localities and departments have continuously intensified their work on agriculture, rural areas and farmers this year, effectively overcoming the adverse factors such as severe floods in some places, achieving a bumper harvest of grain and steadily advancing the high-quality development of agriculture and rural areas.

The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out that "a strong country must first strengthen agriculture, and a strong agriculture can strengthen the country." Looking at the vast land of China, people have made unremitting efforts to speed up the construction of an agricultural power, comprehensively promote rural revitalization, and lay a solid foundation for building a socialist modern power.

Tamp the "ballast stone" of food security

After a winter snow, green wheat poked its head out of the snow in Shanying Village, Macun Town, Jiaxiang County, Shandong Province. Despite the temperature drop, Wanmin, a big grain grower after 00, is not too worried: "Just after watching the seedling situation, deep ploughing before winter has improved the quality of land preparation, plus sowing at the right time, winter irrigation to prevent freezing injury, and strong seedlings have a foundation for overwintering." In recent years, Jiaxiang County has promoted intelligent agricultural machinery, plant protection drones and other equipment, and integrated technologies such as conservation tillage and green prevention and control of pests and diseases, which has provided strong support for grain production.

This year, China implemented a new round of 100 billion Jin of grain production capacity improvement, continued to raise the minimum purchase price of wheat and rice, improved the subsidies for corn and soybean producers, implemented the responsibility of farmland protection and food security in various localities and departments, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs launched a large-scale unit yield improvement campaign for major crops such as grain and oil, and agricultural technicians gave in-depth guidance. Effectively overcome the rare "rotten rain" in Huanghuai and the severe local floods in northeast China, and the annual grain output has been stable at more than 1.3 trillion Jin for nine consecutive years … The grain harvest has laid the foundation for economic and social stability.

All localities have extended the grain industry chain, upgraded the value chain, built a supply chain, and constantly improved the quality, efficiency and competitiveness of agriculture.

In recent years, Yongfeng Rice in Yongfeng Village, Taihe Town, Meishan City, Sichuan Province has been favored by consumers. While making excellent rice brands, the local government has introduced Mi Lu with cream and popcorn with pure edge oil, and featured products have entered more people’s homes.

Green is the background color of agriculture. At the 37th China Plant Protection Information Exchange and Pesticide Machinery Fair held not long ago, nearly 1,000 enterprises participated in the exhibition, displaying and exchanging new technologies and products. The relevant person in charge of the National Agricultural Technology Extension Service Center said that agricultural development has entered a new stage of comprehensive green transformation, and it is necessary to further enhance the ability of plant protection, disaster prevention and mitigation, and provide strong support for ensuring national food security, agricultural product quality and safety, and ecological environment safety.

The coverage rate of improved varieties of crops is over 96%, the comprehensive mechanization rate of farming and harvesting reaches 73%, and the contribution rate of agricultural scientific and technological progress reaches 62.4% … China’s rice bowl is more secure and better, laying a solid foundation for building an agricultural power.

Take multiple measures to broaden the channels of increasing farmers’ income

In winter, Hu Ruiyun, a poverty-stricken household, is busy pruning fruit trees in the pear garden in Honglongji Village, wei county, Hebei Province. "10 acres of land at home have been transferred, and you can get 800 kilograms of wheat per acre every year, and you can earn more than 100 yuan a day in the pear garden." Hu Ruiyun said happily.

Zeng Yande, chief agronomist of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that by the end of the third quarter of this year, 63.5% of the monitored objects in 22 provinces in the central and western regions had eliminated the risk of returning to poverty, and the rest had implemented assistance measures.

All localities should develop characteristic industries, promote the steady employment of migrant workers, and do everything possible to broaden the channels for farmers to increase their income and get rich. Finger Lemon, Bird’s Nest Fruit and Mume Fruit … The "Window of the World Tropical Fruit" base in dalu town, qionghai city, Hainan, integrates fruit introduction and breeding, demonstration planting and popular science sightseeing. More than 100 people have achieved stable employment and studied technology here.

China’s rural industries to enrich the people have grown stronger. Statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics show that the per capita disposable income of rural residents in the first three quarters of this year was 15,705 yuan, a real increase of 7.3% after deducting the price factor. Comprehensively improve the quality of farmers, do a good job of "local products" according to local conditions, and all kinds of resource elements are constantly activated, driving the broad masses of farmers to live a prosperous life.

Not long ago, experts from the Cotton Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences came to Laoshan Town, Shawan City, Xinjiang to explain cotton cultivation, intelligent water and fertilizer integration and other technologies to help farmers improve their planting level. "In the future, we will send agricultural technicians here and organize on-site observation meetings to accelerate the promotion of modern agricultural technology." Li Yabing, a researcher at the Cotton Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said.

Accelerate the construction of a livable, suitable and beautiful country.

Strolling in wulong village, Liuzhi Special Zone, Guizhou Province, you are greeted with a picture scroll: characteristic houses built on the mountain, daisies swaying in the wind, stone troughs and stone mills bearing homesickness …

"The road is good, the village is clean, and the dry toilet has been changed into a flush toilet, which is convenient and hygienic." Villager Zhu Jingrong said happily. In the past two years, the village infrastructure has been upgraded and transformed, and the health habits of the people have changed greatly.

Wulong village is the epitome of rural construction in China. At present, the penetration rate of rural sanitary toilets in China exceeds 73%, and more than 95% of villages have carried out cleaning operations, and the village appearance has been continuously improved.

The efficiency of rural governance is also steadily improving. Since 2022, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has cooperated with Tencent to launch the "cultivator" revitalization plan, and provided free training for rural governance backbones and leaders of new agricultural management entities. More than one million people learn rural governance systems and measures such as the points system, the list system and the villagers’ saying things in the "Plowers for the Village" applet.

Farming civilization and urban civilization complement each other, and civilized rural style, good family style and simple folk customs are continuously passed down and carried forward.

"Knock, knock, knock …" In Yaoda Village, Chengzhong Town, Ningming County, Chongzuo City, Guangxi Province, the tourists had not yet stepped off the cruise ship when the clanging drums came from a distance. In the village at the foot of Huashan Rock Painting Mountain in Zuojiang, a world cultural heritage, Lv Ximei, a Zhuang villager, is a member of the bronze drum performance team: "The development of tourism in the village can not only increase income, but also pass on the bronze drum culture. I am very happy."

Accelerate the construction of a strong agricultural country, and build a livable and beautiful countryside … The fields of hope are full of hard work and struggle, and the broad masses of peasants and "three rural" workers make unremitting efforts to create a better life with hard work and sweat, and contribute to the construction of a socialist modernization power!

Retirees’ pensions will rise for 16 consecutive years, and many specific plans are being brewed.

  At the beginning of 2020, a new round of pension increase window was reopened. The "Economic Information Daily" reporter was informed that retirees’ pensions will usher in 16 consecutive rises, and urban and rural residents’ pensions are expected to continue to increase. Many places are already planning specific plans. At the same time, the reform of the old-age insurance system in 2020 also ushered in a crucial year, and new breakthroughs were made in the construction of a multi-level old-age insurance system, and a number of heavy measures were ready to go.

  It is reported that the reform of the basic old-age insurance system is in full swing, and the reasonable adjustment mechanism of pensions and the management measures for occupational annuity investment may be accelerated. In 2020, the proportion of central adjustment of pension insurance funds will continue to be raised, and the provincial-level pension planning and urban and rural residents’ pension investment will be fully closed, which is the "third pillar" that has attracted much attention — — The personal pension system has entered a period of full strength.

  Following the 5% increase in pensions for retirees in China in 2019, the pensions for retirees of urban enterprises, government agencies and institutions will usher in 16 consecutive increases in 2020, and the pension increase plan is already brewing, or will be accelerated in the near future.

  The pension adjustment plan for urban and rural residents is also brewing. Guangdong, Inner Mongolia and other places gradually released plans and officially implemented this month. For example, in 2020, Guangdong Province will increase the basic pension of 3 yuan every month for those who have paid for more than 15 years; For the elderly insured who have reached the age of 65 and above, the basic pension will be appropriately added every month. At the same time, the original individual payment grade will be adjusted to nine grades between 180 yuan and 4,800 yuan per year. In Inner Mongolia, the basic old-age insurance payment standard for urban and rural residents is adjusted to 12 grades ranging from 200 yuan to 7,000 yuan. The government subsidies for various payment levels are also clearly defined, with 3,000 yuan for 90 yuan, 5,000 yuan for 95 yuan and 7,000 yuan for 100 yuan.

  Zhu Xiaoyu, the Social Development Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Fiscal Science of the Ministry of Finance, told the Economic Information Daily that the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee explicitly called for a steady increase in the level of basic old-age insurance. In 2020, the level of basic old-age insurance benefits for urban workers will continue to increase, and the adjustment method will consider combining the inclusive adjustment of "quick march" with the key tilt adjustment of "sorting". In addition, the public finance will increase the pension benefits subsidies for urban and rural residents to further narrow the gap in the treatment level under the dual pension insurance system.

  Wang Dehua, a researcher at the Institute of Finance and Economics, China Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out that with the improvement of financial subsidy standards and the encouragement of paying more in policies, the pension insurance benefits for urban and rural residents in China will continue to improve as a whole. In addition, the current financial subsidies are mainly based on the local financial situation, and the standards and principles will be further clarified in the future.

  The reporter was informed that in order to ensure the steady improvement of pension benefits, the reform of the pension insurance system in 2020 is expected to usher in a new breakthrough. "2020 is a crucial year for the reform of the old-age insurance system, and the effect of social security fee reduction has begun to appear. The provincial-level overall planning system for old-age insurance will be fully established nationwide. The central adjustment system continued to increase. At the same time, ‘ Thirteenth Five-Year Plan ’ At the closing time, social security will basically achieve full coverage, ‘ Fourteenth Five-Year Plan ’ The goal will be finalized. " Fang Lianquan, secretary general of the World Social Security Research Center of China Academy of Social Sciences, said.

  Fu Jinling, director of the Social Security Department of the Ministry of Finance, revealed a few days ago that according to the requirements of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council, relevant departments are currently studying, reforming and perfecting the basic old-age insurance system.

  Regarding the key point of reforming and improving the basic old-age insurance system, Jin Weigang, president of the Chinese Academy of Labor and Social Security, said that China will accelerate the national overall planning of basic old-age insurance funds, and the proportion of central adjustment of old-age insurance funds will be increased from 3% in 2018 to 3.5% in 2019, and the proportion of central adjustment of old-age insurance funds will be further increased in 2020. In addition, we will comprehensively promote the reform of the endowment insurance system in government agencies and institutions, achieve a smooth convergence of pension benefits before and after the reform, and introduce investment management measures for occupational annuities as soon as possible. Improve the employee pension insurance personal account system.

  "We should also step up the establishment of a reasonable pension adjustment mechanism. It is necessary to ensure that the basic life of retirees is guaranteed and steadily improved, and the fruits of economic development can be properly shared, and the adjustment of treatment should be controlled within the range that funds and finances can bear. " Jin Weigang said.

  As an important transition of national overall planning of endowment insurance, provincial overall planning is accelerating. By the end of last year, 13 provinces had achieved provincial-level unified collection and expenditure of funds. Shandong, Anhui, Guangxi and Shanxi have recently announced that the provincial-level co-ordination system of basic old-age insurance for enterprise employees will be formally implemented from January 1, 2020.

  In addition, in terms of maintaining and increasing the value of the endowment insurance fund, the entrusted investment of the basic endowment insurance fund for urban and rural residents will be fully implemented by the end of 2020. The "two pillars" and "three pillars" of old-age insurance will also accelerate the breakthrough.

  Jin Weigang pointed out that after the urban workers’ basic pension has achieved national overall planning and implemented the investment and operation of the basic old-age insurance fund, with the rapid expansion of the basic old-age insurance fund for urban workers nationwide, the fund adjustment and anti-risk ability have been enhanced, the basic old-age insurance premium rate paid by enterprises can be appropriately reduced in a timely manner, and more enterprises can be guided and encouraged to establish enterprise annuities through policy support. At the same time, by effectively increasing tax incentives to promote the development of the "third pillar", that is, the individual pension system.

  Zhu Xiaoyu also said that with the acceleration of China’s aging population, the construction of a multi-level social security system is making full efforts, and the development of the second and third pillars will gradually usher in a policy dividend period. At present, the top-level design of the third pillar system is advancing.

  The relevant person in charge of China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission recently said at the routine briefing of the State Council policy that in promoting the development of commercial insurance in the social field, it will improve the personal tax deferred commercial endowment insurance policy and support the development of the third pillar of endowment insurance. The Guiding Opinions of China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, China on Promoting the High-quality Development of Banking and Insurance Industry also proposes to "vigorously develop enterprise annuities, occupational annuities, various health and old-age insurance businesses" and "strengthen the construction of the third pillar of old-age insurance".

  "China’s pension insurance system reform has been on the road. The well-off society will be completed in an all-round way soon, and the social security system will also enter a new stage of development in which the institutional structure is basically finalized and more mature and perfect. At ‘ All insurance should be guaranteed ’ After the goal is basically achieved, promoting overall planning, ensuring fairness and sustainability will become the focus of system improvement. " Zhu Xiaoyu said. (Reporter Ban Juanjuan)
