Extraordinary Decade: Ten Dimensions of China _ Economic News _ News Center

From 2012 to 2022, on the historical journey of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the Chinese people wrote an extremely unusual and extraordinary chapter of the times.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has united and led the people of all ethnic groups across the country, adopted a series of strategic measures, promoted a series of transformative practices, achieved a series of breakthroughs, and achieved a series of landmark results. The cause of the party and the country has made historic achievements and undergone historic changes.

One key project after another, one national treasure after another, and one innovation breakthrough after another... In the great changes of the new era, unique identifiers from different dimensions have recorded China's extraordinary decade.

This is a climb towards dreams.

8848.86 meters! On May 27, 2020, the five-star red flag once again reached the summit of the world's highest peak.

The members of the Everest elevation measurement mountaineering team who successfully climbed to the summit are connected to the Everest base camp to broadcast high-definition video footage in real-time.

How can 5G signals reach the top of the world?

In April 2020, starting from the base camp of Mount Everest at an altitude of 5200 meters, 40 members of the laying team shouldered transmission optical cables and led a transport team consisting of 46 yaks to trek on glacial mountain roads, transporting nearly 8 tons of construction materials and completing the laying of special transmission optical cables.

At an altitude of 6500 meters - On the afternoon of April 30th, the world's highest 5G base station was put into use. Combined with the base stations previously built at altitudes of 5300 meters and 5800 meters, 5G signals have achieved coverage of the climbing route and summit on the northern slope of Mount Everest.

It's not just the 5G signal that refreshes the height.

The world's highest electrified railway, the Lalin Railway, runs through snowy plateaus with a maximum altitude of 3650 meters;

The world's highest civilian airport - Sichuan Daocheng Yading Airport, with an altitude of 4411 meters;

The world's highest railway station - Tanggula Station on the Qinghai Tibet Railway, with an altitude of 5068 meters;

The highest grid connected photovoltaic power station in the world - Xizang Yangyi photovoltaic power station, 4700 meters above sea level;

……

China's development has reached a new height - since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the country's total economic output has increased from 53.9 trillion yuan to 114.4 trillion yuan, the per capita GDP has increased from 6300 US dollars to over 12000 US dollars, and its contribution to the world economy has exceeded 30% for many years.

Pursuing, arriving, and setting off again, the Chinese people's upward climb will not stop.

In 2021, the high-speed maglev transportation system with a speed of 600 kilometers per hour was launched in Qingdao, and China continues to lead the world in breakthroughs in railway technology; The launch of the "Nine Chapters" and "Zu Chong's Number" has enabled China's quantum computer to achieve global leadership in computing power

Speed and the improvement of refractive technology strength——

On December 10, 2021, the Long March 4B carrier rocket was successfully launched, setting a new record for the number of launches of China's Long March series carrier rockets at "400". 37 years, 7 and a half years, over 4 years, and 33 months, these are the four "hundred launches" of the Long March series of carrier rockets, and the pace of Chinese exploration of space continues to accelerate.

Speed, the driving force that consolidates development and progress——

In the past decade, China's information and communication industry has achieved exponential growth in access bandwidth from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps, and then to 1 Gbps. Mobile networks have made a leap from "3G breakthrough" to "4G synchronization" and then to "5G leadership", achieving "broadband connectivity in every administrative village" nationwide. China has built the world's largest and technologically advanced network infrastructure, connecting the information "artery" of economic and social development.

Speed, highlighting the advantages of social systems——

Huoshen Mountain Hospital and Leishen Mountain Hospital rose from the ground in more than 10 days, realizing the improvement of medical resources and material supply from shortage to dynamic balance in the shortest time, and developed nucleic acid detection kits at the first time... The rapid attacks again and again in the fight against COVID-19 reflect the family and country feelings of helping each other in the same boat, which is also a vivid portrayal of China's institutional advantages.

After nearly 300 days of flight and 400 million kilometers of journey, Tianwen-1 successfully descended into flames;

Chang'e-4 probe first explored the back of the moon, about 380000 kilometers away from Earth;

The first solar exploration scientific and technological experimental satellite in China, "Xihe", operates in a sun synchronous orbit with an average altitude of 517 kilometers

Exploring fire, flying to the moon, and crossing planets is our never-ending journey.

Span measures time and space, and records the resolute pace of China's vigorous progress in the new era.

Looking at China, achieve "connectivity" through "crossing over". One major project after another, spanning mountains and rivers, crossing oceans and rivers, making the mobile China more vibrant.

On Lingdingyang, the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge, with a total length of about 55 kilometers, is like a giant dragon, flying over three places with one bridge.

Above the Tianshan Mountains, the construction of the "throat" project of the Wuwei Highway - the 22.1-kilometer Tianshan Victory Tunnel - is intensifying. After completion, this' Snowy Sky Road 'will cross the Tianshan Mountains and become a happy road connecting the north and south of Xinjiang.

Look at China and promote "leapfrogging" with "innovation". High-tech products have become the footnotes of China's innovation-driven development strategy.

In September 2022, the C919 large passenger aircraft was successfully awarded the type certificate, which became an important milestone in my country's large aircraft industry. C919 project has been 15 years, overcome numerous difficulties and obstacles, witnessed the leap forward of China's aviation industry.

In the past 10 years, the quality of China's high-tech products has been better. Driven by a number of central enterprises, China's high-speed rail, manned spaceflight, Beidou navigation and other major powers have become the country's new business card.

In the early morning of December 6, 2020, a "universe express" is being handed over. Within 21 seconds, a "hug" and a "grasp", a "textbook-style" rendezvous and docking, so that the lunar samples collected through thousands of difficulties and risks can be set foot on the road to the earth in one go.

The "space needle" is thrilling and romantic, with a microwave radar with a measuring range of 100 kilometers and a ranging accuracy of 0.2 meters behind it.

The weight of the country is accumulated in every pursuit of precision. 0.01mm, which is the diameter of a very small diameter milling cutter and is only equivalent to the thickness of a 1/8 hair. +/-0.06 angular seconds, which is the highest measurement accuracy of nano-time grating, is equivalent to one 60,000 of any one degree in a 360-degree circle, reaching the limit of the level of existing testing instruments.

To the vast and subtle.

The poverty alleviation campaign involving more than 9000 million people requires unprecedented precision-nearly 20 million people enter villages and households to carry out dynamic management and information collection of the poor; a large-scale precise organization is needed-every household has a responsible person, and every village There are support teams; we need to seek truth from facts and implement "six precision" and "five batches" according to different causes of poverty, and implement policies according to local conditions and people.

Looking at the "14th Five-Year Plan" for China's development from 2021 to 2025, there are many "detailed" arrangements in the "big" document: the average life expectancy is increased by 1 year, the PM2.5 concentration in cities at prefecture level and above is reduced by 10%, and the number of registered nurses per 1,000 population is increased to 3.8......

The great affairs of the world must be done in detail. This is a distinctive feature of China's dream pursuit.

Where is the world's deepest laboratory?

Liangshan, Sichuan, in the middle of Jinping Mountain Tunnel, 2400 meters underground, there is a quiet place-China Jinping Underground Laboratory.

This is the Jinping Mountain Tunnel in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. China Jinping Underground Laboratory is in the middle of the tunnel, above which is the towering Jinping Mountain (photographed on December 24, 2014). Photo by Xinhua News Agency reporter Shen Bohan

The construction of deep-ground laboratories was once a patent of developed countries. At the beginning of this century, two hydropower stations were built in Jinping Dahewan, and later tunnels were opened. Tsinghua University, which is looking for a dark matter research site, contacted SDIC Yalong River Basin Hydropower Development Co., Ltd., hoping to use the tunnel to carry out research. In just a year and a half, the laboratory was built.

Compared with other underground laboratories in the world, this laboratory has the deepest rock coverage, the smallest cosmic ray flux, and the large available space. It is helping my country to enter the world's first phalanx in the field of dark matter and astrophysics research.

Here, Chinese universities have achieved nearly 30 dark matter research results; the world's strongest deep-earth nuclear astrophysical accelerator has successfully produced beams, and its measurement sensitivity, statistical accuracy, and exposure are all internationally leading.

China continues to explore the unknown space, to the limits of science and technology, into the deep sea, into the deep, to explore deep space--

Deep sea-In 2020, my country's "Striver" manned submersible will sit at the bottom of the "Fourth Pole of the Earth" Mariana Trench with a depth of 10909 meters; in 2021, my country's first 1500-meter deep-water atmospheric field for self-exploration and development "Deep Sea No. 1" was put into production, and offshore oil and gas exploration and development moved towards "ultra-deep water".

Deep Wells-In 2022, in the Tarim Basin, PetroChina's first deep well over 9000 meters sounded the whistle to start drilling, marking a further step in PetroChina's ultra-deep well drilling capacity.

Deep Space-"China Sky Eye" extends China's space measurement and control capabilities from geosynchronous orbit to the outer edge of the solar system; China's deep space measurement and control network, composed of Jiamusi Deep Space Measurement and Control Station, Kashgar Deep Space Measurement and Control Station, and Argentina Deep Space Measurement and Control Station, The measurement and control coverage rate is over 90%.

On the Jinsha River, Baihetan Hydropower Station, an arched dam across the towering valley, bears a maximum water thrust of 16.5 million tons.

At the Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan, the Long March 5 B carrier rocket sent the sky and core modules of China's space station into space. This rocket with the largest low-Earth orbit carrying capacity in my country, known as the "Fat Five", has a take-off weight of about 850 tons and a low-Earth orbit carrying capacity of 25 tons.

In Zhuzhou, Hunan, the "Shen 24" electric locomotive with a single power of 28800 kW and a traction force of 2280 kn can pull 10000-ton freight trains on a 12 ‰ ramp......

"The fundamental driving force for upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era is still to deepen reform in an all-round way."

Comprehensively deepen reform to the breadth and depth of the march. Over the past 10 years, China's reform has made comprehensive efforts, made many breakthroughs, made rapid and steady progress, and advanced in depth. The basic institutional framework in various fields has been basically established, and historic changes, systematic reshaping and overall reconstruction have been achieved in many fields.

Comprehensively deepen reform and further liberate and develop social productive forces. Insist on making the market play a decisive role in the allocation of resources, so that various market entities have more vitality and more space to develop the economy and create wealth. The total number of market entities in my country has exceeded 0.16 billion, driving nearly 0.3 billion jobs and becoming a source of economic development.

From the reform of the "three rights separation" of rural contracted land to the pilot reform of the homestead system, a series of institutional innovations have given birth to huge endogenous power. From the reform of the judicial system and the ecological civilization system to the reform and improvement of the housing system and the medical and health system, a number of reforms have focused on the "urgent and anxious" of the masses, so as to enhance the well-being of the people.

Creating opportunities in opening up and solving problems in cooperation: the implementation of the Foreign Investment Law and the Regulations on Optimizing the Business Environment, abolishing the case-by-case approval system for foreign investment; authorizing all cities at prefecture level and above to register foreign-invested enterprises, further enhancing the level of customs clearance facilitation; building economic and trade platforms such as the Canton Fair, the Fair and the Service Trade Fair ...... China embraces the world with an open attitude, activating the surging spring tide of its own development and injecting powerful momentum into the global economy.

The black soil, known as the "giant panda in the cultivated land", takes 200 to 400 years to form a 1cm thick black soil layer under natural conditions. In recent years, the "defense war" of black land is being carried out in Northeast China. Through the promotion of agricultural science and technology and other measures, the foundation of "big country granary" has been consolidated. Taking Heilongjiang Province, which has the largest black soil area, as an example, according to years of monitoring data, the average thickness of dry land in the black soil area has deepened from 19.8cm to 23.3cm.

Only when the foundation is thick can the foundation be sufficient. Land, development as well.

Today, China is planting the foundation of innovation. In the past 10 years, my country's total social R & D investment has increased from 1.03 trillion yuan in 2012 to 2.79 trillion yuan in 2021. The growth curve of basic research funding has risen rapidly, with an average annual growth rate of 15.4 per cent in 2021 to 181.7 billion yuan.

Today's China, is the inheritance of innovation and heavy culture. In the past 10 years, the Chinese civilization exploration project and "Archaeological China" have achieved fruitful results; the "Renaissance Library" and "Hundred Classics of Chinese Traditional Culture" have been compiled and published, melting the past into the present, and activating the classics; museum fever, cultural relics fever, and non-heritage fever have risen one after another, National tide and national style have become a new fashion......

Today, China is building strong strength. my country has built the world's most complete and largest industrial system, and has all the industrial categories in the United Nations Industrial Classification, making my country's real economy more stable and the foundation of industrial upgrading stronger. The output of more than 220 industrial products ranks first in the world. China has built the world's largest 5G network, high-speed railway network, highway network and online retail market.

Only by accumulating thick and thin can one go further. The Chinese will continue to work hard and down-to-earth to promote high-quality economic development and lay a stronger material foundation for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

This year, a new power battery came out in China, with an energy density of 255 Wh/kg, which can achieve 1000 kilometers of battery life.

From 2012 to 2021, the area of construction land used per unit of GDP decreased by 40.85, and the density of land economy increased significantly.

Small to the battery energy density, large to the national economic density, what does it mean to enhance?

In short, the quality is higher and the gold content is higher.

The so-called "inch of land, inch of gold", in today's China, all localities, departments, and all walks of life continue to explore, so that "inch of land produces more gold".

"Density" increases, starting with the economical and intensive use of resources. "Achieve the greatest economic and social benefits with the least resource and environmental costs" has become the general consensus and direction of the Chinese people. Compared with 2012, China's energy consumption intensity, carbon emission intensity and water consumption intensity decreased by 26.4, 34.4 and 45% respectively in 2021, and the output rate of major resources increased by about 58%.

The key to the improvement of "density" lies in the ability to innovate. China's global innovation index ranked 11th, up 23 places from 2012, and has entered the ranks of innovative countries. Whether it is the development of new industries such as integrated circuits, biomedicine, and artificial intelligence, or the layout of new circuits such as digital economy, green low-carbon, and meta-universe, they are all comments on the practical transformation of development methods and the pursuit of high-quality development.

"Density" increase, the need for industrial quality and efficiency. China's new energy automobile industry has broken through key technologies such as batteries, motors, and electronic control, and established a complete industrial system that connects upstream and downstream. New energy vehicle production and sales for 7 consecutive years in the world. With the help of the new energy track, the desire of China's automobile industry to "change lanes and overtake" is moving towards reality.

In July 2022, in Croatia in southeastern Europe, a 2440-meter-long and 22.5-meter-wide highway cable-stayed bridge, the Peleschac Bridge, was opened to traffic. Croatian Prime Minister Plenkovic praised the bridge as "realizing the realization of the northern and southern territories of Croatia." The long-cherished wish of connecting as one ".

Four years ago, a consortium of Chinese enterprises led by China Road and Bridge Corporation won the bid for the bridge project, which is the first time that a Chinese enterprise has won the bid for an EU fund project.
