Original title: "This academic feast is wonderful"

Read the original text

Special feature of 1905 film network "This year’s music programs" Singer "and" God-given Voice "(Internet fever) are all too peaceful, and I feel that there is no suitable person to sing the theme song of the movie next." Xiaoyou, who has been engaged in the original sound propaganda of film and television works for three years, spoke to us.

Today, the "Singer’s Year of Playing" has been more than half of the schedule, and has been firmly occupying the ratings champion of the same period. Another music program, The Voice of Heaven, has a mediocre overall performance, although there are many big coffees. The latter, from the complicated competition system to the weird editing, has been criticized as "a godsend embarrassment" by many viewers.

The singer, which premiered in 2013, has survived seven years of itching, but still faces challenges.Before the "Year of Playing" lineup was broadcast, it was recognized by the outside world that it had never been seen before, and most of them were old faces. "Surprise attack" is a brand-new competition system, but the topic is more about "cloud recording" and the controversy of singer Huang Xiaoyun’s choice of surprise attack opponent at the beginning of the program.

The new season "The Singer" also didn’t get too high evaluation. It changed the previous standards and threw an olive branch to singers with more internet popularity.On the one hand, it is more convincing for them to make a "replacement/surprise attack" identity, on the other hand, it is also to get closer to the young audience — — For the first time this year, the program group did not recruit "over 50" judges.

After all, for the audience, what everyone cares about is not the competition system, but the truly amazing music performance.

Then, will this group of young singers who are more in line with the current network trend start their "year of playing" through variety shows?This is still an unknown, but we can count the connections between the participants and the movies from the past variety shows of the same type.

　

Explosive programs can make singers rejuvenate phenomenally.

Almost every singer who participated in variety shows got more exposure and business activities after the popularity.

　

The first season of the variety show "The Voice of China" was a hit.advisorYang Kun"32 concerts" became a hot word of the year.. At the same time, Baidu index also shows that his personal heat peak is still in the first season of Good Voice of China.

　

Huang Qishan, who became popular because of her participation in the recording of the first season of I am a singer, sang the theme song for the film after the competition, although under the banner that only good works can produce songs. At the same time, it can be found that the amount of songs released by her in the seven years after participating in the competition far exceeded that in the previous 13 years. Needless to say, she has frequently appeared in the same kind of variety shows in recent years.

　

At the same time, Terry Lin, a singer who participated in the competition, experienced a burst of popularity after the show. After the first quarter of that year, his personal Baidu search index rose 92 times. At the same time, on Taobao, all his previous albums have been sold out at the phenomenal level.

　

Obviously, the explosive variety show is enough to drive all kinds of data of participants and make them successfully return to the mainstream market.For a time, many singers are eager to join such variety shows.In 2015, it became the peak year of the two programs "The Voice of China" and "I am a singer".

　

"Good Voice of China" has the gimmick that Jay Chou participated in the variety show for the first time, with an average audience rating of around 4.8%; The average audience rating of I am a singer is 2.725%, and the Hazare Dictionary recommended by Li Jian in the program is out of stock in bookstores.

　

In the same year, Ronghao Li, who participated in the recording as a singer, won the recognition of major music awards ceremonies with a song "Li Bai" before the competition, but it was "I am a singer" that really made him famous.Even in recent years, he frequently boarded hot search and became the topic center, but Baidu index shows that his personal heat peak is still in the third season of "I am a singer".

　

All these have laid the groundwork for the gradual proliferation of subsequent homogeneous variety shows.

　

　How hot is it?

After "I am a singer" and "The Voice of China" became popular, music programs began to emerge with various dimensions of "innovation". The Masked King of Songs, The Battle of Nature, The Summer of the Band, Hip Hop in China, The Son of Tomorrow, Creation 101》… … Whether it’s Shangxing Satellite TV or the network platform, they have made great efforts to launch relevant types of programs.

　

In the past five years, almost all singers with certain status have attended at least one competitive variety show;Most of the new singers made their debut from talent shows.Under the influence of these programs, the audience soon began to enter a state of aesthetic fatigue.

　

“Judge whether a program is really hot enough.There is a relatively intuitive angle to evaluate. that isAfter you went to see the program broadcast, the commercial invitations of related artists, especially the number of OST (soundtrack) of film and television works. "An artist who used to be the coordinator of a music program told us her views.

　

She told us that in recent years, two programs have been secretly competing with each other. Even though one of them always has good music, it will even become the designated singing track in the subsequent concert of the cover singer, compared with the other program, its subsequent commercialization is much weaker.

　

According to her point of view, we sorted out the original sound recording of some singers’ film and television works before and after participating in The Singer from 2015 to now.

As can be seen from the table, Lala Hsu recorded as many as six original songs in the whole year of 2016. Before that, she had only two records. Singers such as Chen Jieyi and Lao Lang, who are due to the program "Rejuvenation", all got good film invitations.

　

However, since 2017, the singers who participated in the recording of the program will be much less in the follow-up movie invitation."On the one hand, many big-name singers are unwilling to pick up the theme song of the movie, and on the other hand, many singers will be replaced after the homogenization program emerges." Xiaoyou answered our doubts.

　

"On the eve of the film’s release, the propagandists only want to increase the popularity through various dimensions, so it is most likely to realize’ 1+1 > 2′ by enabling popular singers to sing theme songs or concept songs." In 2017, after the advent of Hip-hop in China, the choice of singers became more diverse, which replaced the singers in The Singer to some extent. "And from the budget point of view, those singers selected from music programs will be lower."

　

In Xiaoyou’s view, these heats have a shelf life. "Rocket Girls 101’s" Calorie "in the movie is definitely one of the most successful song marketing cases in recent years. Coupled with the popularity of her debut that year, her group became one of the singers that many publicity companies most hoped to cooperate with in the second half of 2018."

　

According to statistics, Rocket Girls 101 has sung songs for 10 film and television works in a group or a single person within half a year.However, with the subsequent appearance of new variety shows and the weakening of the "koi fish effect" of Calories, since the second quarter of 2019, the corresponding invitations in Rocket Girls 101 have obviously decreased.

Of course, this is also related to the explosion of other variety shows last year. After "The Summer of the Band" was released, the summer file immediately bought Hedgehog Band’s masterpiece "The train sails beyond the clouds, and the dream is safe in the clouds".

　

At the Lunar New Year’s Eve, the band was still the hottest last year. The new pants band was invited to make the theme song "If Life Deceives You", and Miserable Faith also wrote a new song "Life in Curves".

When the popularity decreases, new variety shows take over, and new people emerge again, these people will eventually be replaced. Just look at last year’s Lunar New Year movie and the movies originally planned for this year’s Spring Festival movie, and more singers with more national characteristics, such as Jason, Sitar tan and Chris Lee, are chosen to sing the theme song.

Although this group of people also debuted through the talent show, they all relied on the accumulation of works for many years and got more attention and understanding.The network has a memory, but sometimes the memory is very weak. If there is no high-quality work, it will obviously not be a long-term solution if the songs produced through the assembly line are known to the audience by virtue of the temporary popularity.

　　Tibet, China Net News "This is Chema, this is ghee, this is sugar, and this is honey … …” February 5th is the first day of the first month of the Tibetan calendar, which is also the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar. Lauren, a tourist from the United States, is recording a video to share her trip in Tibet. This year’s Lunar New Year and Tibetan New Year met unexpectedly, attracting many tourists to Tibet to feel the rich flavor of the year, and many of them "foreigners" visited Tibet in winter.

　　On the first day of the new year, the reporter met Lauren, a tourist from the United States, and her group members at the Yaowangshan observation deck in Lhasa, Xizang Autonomous Region. This is a delegation of eight foreign guests from seven countries, including the United States and Colombia.

　　Nima, the tour guide, said that this was their first day in Tibet, and in the next few days, they would also go to Yangzhuo Yongcuo, Gyangze, Mount Everest National Park and other places.

　　Bibiana from Colombia is coming to Tibet for the first time. Nima told her in the car that this year’s Lunar New Year and Tibetan New Year are on the same day. Bibiana said happily: "I am very lucky, which is equivalent to experiencing two festivals at once."

　　During the interview, the reporter found that Bibiana was very interested in Tibetan traditional handicrafts. "This is encouraged, right? I also want to buy such clothes. Where can I buy them? " Bibiana couldn’t hide her excitement when she saw tourists wearing clothes with Tibetan ethnic characteristics around her, and asked reporters where she could buy them.

　　Also interested in Tibetan traditional handicrafts is American tourist Lauren. She arrived in Lhasa by train from Xining the day before. "The Qinghai-Tibet line in winter looks bleak, and I don’t like it very much. But after arriving in Lhasa, I feel very good. "

　　After exchanging WeChat with reporters, Lauren was very interested in the pictures of Zizha (butter sculpture) posted by reporters’ circle of friends. "What is this? It’s cool. I want to see it with my own eyes next." Knowing that "Zizha" is one of the necessities for Tibetans during the Tibetan New Year, Lauren immediately thought that these things were also placed in the lobby of the hotel, so she recorded the video and sent it to her family in the United States. "I wish the artists who made butter sculpture were still in Lhasa, so I could buy or see how they made it." Lauren said.

　　After visiting Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple and other places, on February 7, the tour guide Nima took the guests to continue to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yangzhuo Yongcuo, and then arrived in Jiangzi County, Shigatse City.

　　In Shigatse, Lauren and her group members not only tasted all kinds of delicious food before the Tibetan New Year, but also enjoyed the traditional Tibetan dance with steady steps and smooth drums — — Harmony. This made Lauren and the group members watch intently, and took out their mobile phones to record videos from time to time.

　　During the trip, Nima also told Lauren and the group members along the way what the Tibetan New Year is, what is the difference between it and the Lunar New Year, and what are the customs of the Tibetan New Year. This makes Lauren, who is already interested in China culture, even more fascinated by Tibet.

　　On February 12th, Lauren ended her trip in Tibet. She told reporters through WeChat that Tibet is beautiful. "If there is an opportunity, I still want to walk on this land in Tibet. Go to some places in Tibet and have a look. I also want to see the monks arguing the scriptures. " (Tibet, China Net reporter/Wang Yuanyuan)

From January to June this year, enterprises in the home appliance industry achieved revenue of 914.5 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.1%; The profit was 67.49 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 20.2%. Facing the future, with the accelerating pace of promoting stock renewal, expanding quality supply and guiding home appliances to the countryside, the development potential of home appliance industry will be further stimulated.

Precise planning path superposition mop self-cleaning, upgraded sweeping robot makes daily cleaning easier; The air purifier equipped with brand-new sensors not only has low noise and low energy consumption, but also can remove aldehyde and supply air remotely with one button; Real-time video guidance, automatic steam cleaning, and the new steaming, roasting and frying machine make the kitchen novice fall in love with cooking … Walking around the appliance store, different categories are dazzling, and new ideas are coming.

The continuous innovation of major home appliance brands reflects the surging vitality of the home appliance industry. As a traditional dominant industry in China, the home appliance industry is also an important engine for steady industrial growth and consumption promotion. What are the new features of the home appliance industry this year? Where should we start to better stimulate the role of the home appliance market in promoting consumption and expanding domestic demand? The reporter interviewed industry experts and some home appliance companies.

Enhance innovation ability

Develop whole-house intelligence

The data shows that from January to June this year, enterprises in the home appliance industry achieved revenue of 914.5 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.1%; The profit was 67.49 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 20.2%.

Where does the growth resilience of home appliance industry come from? From continuous innovation towards the middle and high end.

"Since the beginning of this year, the demand for high-end products has been strong. In the second quarter, online sales of smart air purifiers increased by 8.6% year-on-year, and the growth was mainly contributed by mid-to high-end models with a price of more than 3,000 yuan. " Lu Yi, product manager of Xiaomi Environmental Electrical Appliances, introduced.

"At present, China’s home appliance market has entered a stage of upgrading characterized by high-end." The relevant person in charge of Hisense Video Technology Co., Ltd. said.

According to Xu Dongsheng, vice chairman of China Household Electrical Appliances Association, this year, the structural transformation and upgrading trend of China’s household electrical appliances industry is more obvious, and the supply of high-end products characterized by green intelligence is sufficient and effective, driving the industry to run steadily.

Walking into the intelligent open laboratory of Huawei Ark No.1 space, with a handheld intelligent central control panel, the whole house appliances are interconnected: when watching TV, you can turn on the viewing mode with one button and enjoy the immersive audio and video; When sleeping, voice awakens AI assistant, and remotely controls lighting and air conditioning …

"From smart home appliances to whole-house intelligence, the growth space of the home appliance industry is constantly expanding." Shao Yang, president of the whole house intelligent product line of Huawei Terminal Co., Ltd., said that relying on the ecology of HarmonyOS, all intelligent devices in the living space are organically connected, which better meets people’s demand for intelligent life. By the end of June this year, there were more than 200 nationwide stores of Huawei’s whole house intelligence, and more than 5,800 smart items could be connected to the whole house intelligence.

Haier founded the whole house intelligent scene brand "Three-winged Bird", and Midea released the whole house intelligent product system of "Midea Meijia" … "A variety of intelligent products cooperate, and more powerful intelligence capabilities are integrated, which is making smart home appliances more user-friendly." Xu Dongsheng said that the transformation of the whole house intelligence has not only brought personalized and customized experience to users, but also become a new engine to stimulate the growth of the home appliance industry.

Promote stock renewal

Perfect applied ecology

The data shows that from January to June, the sales of household appliances and audio-visual equipment were 427 billion yuan, and the year-on-year growth rate changed from a decrease of 3.9% last year to an increase of 1.0%. "The efficiency level of major home appliance enterprises has improved significantly, but there is still room for further expanding home appliance consumption." Xu Dongsheng said.

"China’s mature household appliances have a high penetration rate, and industry demand is more from stock renewal." Xu Jianwei, a researcher at the Industrial Research Institute of China Macroeconomic Research Institute, said that with the continuous improvement of the durability of household products, the product renewal cycle is long, and if the new features of products cannot effectively improve the pain points of consumption, the demand for renewal will shrink.

Take the air purifier as an example. "With the continuous improvement of air quality and stricter control of formaldehyde emission from building materials, the demand for formaldehyde removal from products is gradually weakening." Lu Yi said that at present, the company is developing more kinds of gas sensors and filtration technologies, and at the same time adding intelligent standby function to reduce the frequency of filter element replacement, thus reducing the use cost.

More brands are rejuvenating traditional household appliances with integration. Casarte Xingyun air conditioner integrates the functions of air conditioner, humidifier, purifier, sterilizer, air fan, etc., so that one machine can be used all the year round; Hisense integrated the ultrasonic eyewear washing device on the basis of the original product, which can wash clothes as well as glasses and jewelry … "The integration of functions is not a random combination of household appliances, but according to the user’s operating habits in a specific scene, to meet the user’s needs to the maximum extent." Xu Dongsheng said that integration is allowing traditional household appliances to release more room for growth.

"The new categories, new scenes and new applications that continue to expand are the potential for the growth of the home appliance industry." Xu Jianwei said that at present, intelligent innovation is active in the field of home appliances, but the application ecology of different brands of home appliances is not connected or even compatible enough, which has become a shortcoming that hinders the consumption of home appliances.

There are more and more intelligent devices, and it is inevitable to connect ecological islands and realize cross-brand interconnection. "The construction of whole house intelligence is inseparable from the participation of many parties such as home appliances, home, communications, the Internet, and content service providers." Xu Dongsheng introduced that in June this year, China Household Electrical Appliances Association and china communications standards association jointly issued the White Paper on Smart Home Interconnection in China (2023), which further promoted the interconnection standard of smart homes from "yes" to "good".

Expand quality supply

Expand the rural market

As the main field of traditional consumption, household appliances consumption is also an important force to restore and expand consumption. How to treat its growth prospects?

"From the perspective of industry trends, the market penetration rate of major household appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners and washing machines is increasing year by year." Xu Dongsheng said. Relevant data show that the scale of China’s smart home appliance market exceeded 550 billion yuan in 2021, exceeded 650 billion yuan in 2022 and is expected to exceed 730 billion yuan in 2023.

"Compared with some developed countries, there is still a gap in the ownership level of every 100 smart home appliances in China, and there is a lot of room to improve its penetration rate. Home appliance consumption has great growth potential and strong motivation." Xu Jianwei said.

Stepping into the stock market, how can the home appliance industry move from high-speed growth to high-quality development to better stimulate the consumption potential of home appliances?

On the one hand, we will continue to expand high-quality supply and promote the upgrading and added value of smart home appliances.

"With the continuous optimization of the competition pattern in the home appliance industry, the industry concentration has been further improved. Driven by leading enterprises and innovative enterprises, the proportion of green smart home appliances has increased significantly, providing solid support for expanding home appliance consumption." Xu Jianwei pointed out that in order to adapt to the upgrading of household appliances consumption, it is necessary to make precise policies in the aspects of exchanging old appliances for new ones, promoting intelligent integrated household appliances, and recycling used household appliances.

Recently, the "Notice on Measures to Restore and Expand Consumption" clearly proposes to promote smart home appliances, integrated home appliances, functional furniture and other products to improve the level of intelligent greening of homes. He Yaqiong, director of the Consumer Products Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that the next step will be to support the home appliance industry to promote customization and lean development with users as the center, realize real-time response to demand, real-time visualization of the whole process and seamless docking of resources, and continuously introduce more scene-oriented, intelligent and serialized home appliances.

On the other hand, we will continue to expand the rural market and accelerate the promotion of green smart home appliances to the countryside.

With the continuous improvement of farmers’ income and living standards, the rural market is becoming a new growth point to stimulate the demand for household appliances. The data shows that in the first five months of this year, the sales of home appliances for trade-in and green smart home appliances to the countryside increased by 83.7% and 12.6% respectively. Xu Jianwei proposed that we should speed up the construction of multi-level consumer centers, vigorously promote green smart home appliances to the countryside, and better improve the after-sales service system of rural home appliances.

　　BEIJING, July 5 (Xinhua)-Confrontation and dialogue, conflict and compromise have always been two opposing and interdependent aspects in the international political arena. In the past six months in 2013, the global situation has been fluctuating, and there are many tense confrontations and dialogues that attract worldwide attention, from which we can find some threads of the development of the international situation.

　　The first US dollar dialogue: "No tie" lights up Sino-US diplomacy.

　　There is no 21-gun salute, no honor guard and welcoming ceremony, and there is no need to sit at the negotiating table … At the beginning of June this year, the meeting between the heads of state of China and the United States, unlike the previous "no tie", attracted the attention of Chinese people and the whole world.

　　On June 7-8, the Supreme Leader of president, China and US President Barack Obama met in California. This is the first face-to-face contact between the Chinese and American heads of state after the change of government.

　　The dialogue between the heads of state of China and the United States is very special. The meeting place was not the White House, but the picturesque California manor. The leaders of the two sides opened their shirts and collars without ties, saving all red tape. The "no tie" dialogue enabled the two heads of state to have heart-to-heart and in-depth exchanges on major issues in a relaxed and private environment.

　　In the two days, the time spent by the heads of state of China and the United States together exceeded eight hours. Diaoyu Island issue, South China Sea issue, cyber security, North Korean nuclear issue, economic cooperation … At this "no tie meeting", the two heads of state openly and frankly communicated and discussed many issues. The two sides not only talk about cooperation, but also avoid differences. The time, quality, depth and breadth of interaction are unprecedented.

　　As a result of the talks, the two heads of state agreed to work together to build a new type of relationship between China and the United States, promote the construction of a new type of military relationship between China and the United States, and respect each other and win-win cooperation. The handshake between China, the world’s largest developing country, and the leader of the world’s largest developed country, the Supreme Leader, and Obama at California Manor opened a new chapter in Sino-US "trans-Pacific cooperation".

　　Dialogue between the Korean and Korean authorities: it seems like a bright future, but the mountains are heavy.

　　In the first half of this year, the situation on the Korean Peninsula seemed to be on a "roller coaster", which rose and fell in just a few months, but suddenly turned around at the critical moment. However, even if you are willing to "talk", it is still full of twists and turns.

　　In the past few months, the situation on the peninsula has really made people sweat: North Korea conducted a nuclear test, South Korea-US military exercises, the hotline between South Korea and North Korea was cut off, North Korea restarted its nuclear reactor, and the Kaesong Industrial Park completely stopped running … All kinds of signs once made the outside world think that the Korean peninsula had reached a state of "war is imminent".

　　However, since May, North Korea has clearly expressed its willingness to talk to the international community by receiving the Japanese Prime Minister’s adviser and sending a special envoy to visit China. At the beginning of June, North Korea even abandoned its previous tough attitude and made a rare proposal for intergovernmental dialogue to South Korea.

　　The South Korean government quickly seized the opportunity of North Korea’s "goodwill". Just a few days later, the director-level working talks between the ROK and the DPRK were held in Panmunjom, paving the way for the next ministerial talks.

　　然而，就在外界看好局势发展的当口，情况却发生转折性变化。朝鲜以韩方会谈团长“级别过低”为由，单方面宣布取消原定于12日举行的当局会谈。

　　韩朝6月初的政府间对话就这样几乎在最后一刻中断，但7月4日，新的消息传来：韩朝一致同意于6日在板门店举行工作会谈。此外，朝鲜还表示愿意重返六方会谈。韩朝间看似“柳暗花明”、实则“山重水复”的沟通能否顺利继续，值得关注。

　　美国、阿富汗、塔利班：陷入“三角债”困局的谈判

　　12年前，美军进入阿富汗与塔利班武装人员作战，打响“9?11”袭击后的反恐战争“第一战”，就在历经12年战争、死伤数千人之后，阿富汗局势似乎初露和谈曙光，但却因美国、阿富汗政府、塔利班之间的“三角”纠葛搁浅。

　　6月18日，阿富汗塔利班宣布在多哈开设和谈办公室，随后有美国官员确认美方将与塔利班进行直接谈判。此举引起阿政府不满，阿总统卡尔扎伊19日宣布中止阿美《双边安全协议》协商进程，同时取消阿高级和平委员会赴多哈和谈安排。由于遭到阿政府强烈抗议，原定于20日举行的美国和塔利班首次会面被取消。

　　When the news of the talks was released, international public opinion was cautiously optimistic about it. Some analysts believe that the deep-seated reason for the delay in the negotiations is that the three parties have their own "wishful thinking", and the negotiations will be a dilemma with no end in sight.

　　Through negotiations, the United States wants the Taliban to publicly renounce its relations with Al Qaeda, end its violence in Afghanistan and recognize the Afghan Constitution. The United States should avoid giving people the impression of walking away and seek a dignified withdrawal from Afghanistan; The purpose of the Afghan government is to "woo" the Taliban, persuade them to lay down their arms, join the government-led reconciliation process, and maintain and consolidate the government’s orthodoxy and legal status; The Taliban, from the position of strength, tried to share power with the government through negotiations, so as to gain time, gradually expand and restore the Taliban regime.

　　The analysis believes that after more than 10 years of war, the balance of power among the three parties has undergone a fundamental change. Although the three parties came to the negotiating table under the banner of reconciliation process, they all wanted to get something that could not be achieved on the battlefield at the negotiating table, which doomed the negotiations to be difficult to make substantive progress.

　　Just when the negotiations ran aground, the violence cast a heavier shadow on them. On June 25, the presidential palace in Afghanistan was attacked by Taliban militants, and four armed men died in an exchange of fire with the police. This is an attack launched by the Taliban against the highest-level targets in Afghanistan since its offensive in April this year.

　　Although after the violence, US President Barack Obama and Afghan President Hamid Karzai reiterated their support for negotiations with the Afghan Taliban. However, it is still difficult to predict when the peace talks facing many variables will start. The peace process in Afghanistan remains worrying.

　　Difficult situation in Syria: domestic dialogue is hopeless and international conference is difficult to produce.

　　In the middle of 2013, the Syrian crisis, which lasted for more than two years, is still far from being resolved. Bashar al-Assad, who "sticks to" the presidency, has very different political views from the Syrian opposition. The two sides are still mired in the deadlock of confrontation and confrontation, and the road to dialogue and reconciliation is still long.

　　In January this year, Assad put forward a new peace initiative and transition plan, calling for national dialogue to end internal conflicts. However, Assad’s peace initiative did not bring dawn to the chaotic situation in Syria. The Syrian opposition said that unless Assad stepped down or did not have any preconditions, there would be no dialogue.

　　For more than half a year, the Syrian government forces and the opposition have continued to wage a tug-of-war in Syria’s major towns. The two sides have blamed each other on whether to use chemical weapons and whether to kill civilians indiscriminately. The extent to which the domestic security situation in Syria has deteriorated is not difficult to see from the latest data released by the United Nations-it is conservatively estimated that at least 93,000 people have died in the Syrian crisis.

　　In addition, the Geneva International Conference on Syria, which was expected to find a political solution to the Syrian crisis, was also delayed. Since the beginning of June, the United Nations, the United States, Russia, Syria and other parties have held many consultations, but still failed to reach an agreement on key issues such as the convening time and participants. On June 25th, the United Nations-Arab League Joint Special Representative for Syria Brahimi said that the meeting scheduled for July could not be held as scheduled because the Syrian opposition was still not ready.

　　At the same time, at the beginning of June, when the war situation began to develop in favor of the Syrian government forces, more than a dozen countries, including the United States, decided to provide emergency military assistance to the opposition in Syria in order to "balance the domestic forces in Syria."

　　But there is no doubt that such a "balance" will only aggravate the antagonistic situation in Syria and make the political solution to the crisis farther away from Syria. When the two sides in Syria can start a dialogue and when the Syrian people can regain peace will remain a long-term problem.

　　Conclusion:

　　Take stock of the conversations worth reviewing in the first half of this year, including successes, failures and unresolved issues. No matter how fierce the confrontation is, "dialogue" is still a good way to solve problems and bridge the differences between the opposing sides. In the future, confrontation and conflict will inevitably continue in the international political arena, but people still hope that there will be more and more dialogues and communication in the international community in the future, injecting more "catalysts" for achieving peace and reconciliation.

?Editor’s　Note:

Novel coronavirus is spreading around the world at an alarming rate, but we should not be surprised. Globalization has brought systemic risks. As the links between trade, finance, tourism, internet and other fields become closer and larger, they also become more complex and unstable.

Edward Lorenz, the father of chaos theory, pointed out that a butterfly flapping its wings over Brazil may trigger a tornado in Texas, USA. The increasingly integrated and complicated global economy makes it more vulnerable to the consequences of "Butterfly Defect". For example, major airport hubs are powerful promoters of the positive effects of globalization, but they are also powerful communicators of the negative effects of globalization, and one of the "public hazards" they spread is epidemic diseases.

The PUP author from Oxford University, who is to be introduced to you today, warned governments in a book published six years ago that the systemic risks brought by globalization would threaten all of us, and the next global crisis would probably stem from the widespread epidemic of a disease.

The extensive connection of people leads to health risks

The density and intensity of contact between people and between people and animals are the decisive factors for the development and spread of epidemic diseases. In 1967, Stanley Milgram conducted an experiment to quantify global connectivity. He found that people can meet any stranger through at most six people.

In 2011, Facebook analyzed its 721 million users worldwide, trying to find out how many steps it takes to establish contact between any two people. It turns out that even though users are separated by thousands of miles, any two users only need 4.7 "friends" on average to be connected.

Population growth and the expansion of travel scope, coupled with the intentional or unintentional transshipment of animals (mice on board or mosquitoes on the plane), have rapidly increased the risk of epidemic spread. As we saw in the SARS epidemic in 2003, a toxic pathogen usually only needs short contact to infect someone and spread it. This makes airplanes and international travel become vectors of disease transmission.

High concentration of people raises health risks.

In 2025, the proportion of urban population in the world is expected to rise to 70%. The population density in Tokyo is as high as 5,847 people per square kilometer, and one in every 25 people lives in a mega-city, so it is necessary to "monitor, prepare and respond to infectious diseases". This practice is very important everywhere, especially in places with high population density and poor sanitary conditions, places where people are in close contact with animals, and places where water sources are easily polluted.

The risk of agglomeration will also amplify the connectivity risk within urban agglomerations and around the world, especially because major airport hubs are often located next to these cities. If an infectious disease originated in a metropolis, it is almost impossible to stop it from spreading around the world. Large cities are also usually inhabited by floating population and businessmen connected with other continents.

Gossip and Panic —— Information Management in Epidemic Prevention and Control

Now, all kinds of information and rumors can spread almost instantaneously through the Internet and social media. With this ability, the risk of panic related to infectious diseases has also increased dramatically, which has doubled the complexity of epidemic management.

Information management is essential, because panic may systematically aggravate the danger of the epidemic: during the epidemic prevention and control period, the government needs to control the flow of people and drugs, and if people frantically buy and hoard drugs, masks and other materials out of panic at this time, many important services will be greatly affected by people’s reaction.

When trying to prevent large-scale panic, governments may also choose to suppress some important information. In the social network of the financial world, there is evidence that "individual decision makers usually pay attention to the behaviors, decisions and even beliefs of others who have social contact with them (such as the perception of risks)." It is in this sense that innovation and technology also increase the risk of infectious diseases; In addition to tangible channels of transmission, we also need to be aware of the existence of risks related to "social" infection.

Another challenge comes from the management of the dissemination of sensitive research information. For example, the debate revolves around the US government’s decision to ask the major scientific journals Nature and Science to suspend publishing research on the evolution of H5N1 influenza virus. According to Medical News Today, although these studies were finally published, they were "shelved because the international community was worried that making these data public would make it easier for terrorists to make chemical and biological weapons".

The Butterfly Defect:　

How Globalization Creates Systemic Risks, and What to Do about It

　

Author: Ian Goldin and Mike Mariathasan

Publication date: October 20, 2015 (paperback edition)

ISBN:　9780691168425

Highlights of the book

The Butterfly Defect emphasizes the widening gap between the new systemic risks arising from globalization and its effective management. This book shows that the turbocharged globalization power has the potential and power to undermine the stability of our society. Ian Goldin and Mike Mariathasan borrowed the latest insights from various disciplines and provided practical guidance for governments, enterprises and individuals on how to better cope with globalization and its risks.

Goldin and Mariathasan proved that systemic risk problems are now ubiquitous in supply chain, epidemic, infrastructure, ecology and climate change, economy and politics. Unless we solve these problems, they will lead to greater protectionism, xenophobia, nationalism, and inevitable de-globalization, increased inequality, conflicts and slower development.

The Butterfly Defect shows that in an interconnected world, reducing uncertainty and risk is an important task for our future development.
