Compared with node-intensive 2021, in the first half of 2022, the number of nodes in China’s big-screen drama market dropped sharply, and the proportion of recommended dramas decreased by nearly 30%.

Realism’s creative concept of "small but true" is deeply rooted in people’s hearts, the fireworks of life penetrate into the content texture, and the concern for small people shows universal feelings. Realistic creative methods are popular, and works on environmental protection, home decoration, winter Olympics, food and other topics have been mapped to realistic issues.

In the first half of the year, the big-screen drama market tried to achieve a multi-dimensional breakthrough in life expression, authenticity expression and youthfulness expression, showing a natural and flexible style and rich and diverse themes. According to the data of 64 cities of CSM Media Research, the drama market of Shangxing Channel in China presents the following main characteristics.

Multi-platform cross-construction theme series

Strong "return" of traditional large-scale themes

In the first half of 2022, the big-screen drama market of Shangxing Channel in the evening prime time (hereinafter referred to as the late yellow file) showed two main characteristics.

First, multi-platform cross-construction theme series. Each satellite channel launched different plays in different schedules, but they all formed a meaningful series matrix. Among them, there are "other people" series, which are based on "people" and "home" to express the true feelings of the world, including "The World", "Dear Children", "The Covenant of a New House", "Heart House" and "Old Best Friend". "Landscape" series: The content is closely related to the great rivers and mountains of the motherland in ancient and modern times, covering the ballad of the sea, the spring breeze is green in Jiang Nanan, the warmth of Sanquan Creek, the green hills are silent, the canal is romantic, the mountains and rivers are bright, and so on. "Fengyun" series: "From the Wind and Cloud on the Lanes" shows flying in the blue sky, and "The Wind Rises in Longxi" focuses on the spy war in the Three Kingdoms. In addition, there are reminiscence series: Stories in Time, Meeting Time, etc.

Second, there is a warming trend in traditional large-scale themes. From January to May, 2022, 49 first-round dramas were released in the evening yellow file of Shangxing Channel. The four traditional themes of urban life, romance, social ethics and modern legends each accounted for 10, 7, 6 and 5, and 28 dramas, accounting for 57% of the total, regained the screen and reappeared the high-light momentum of the past. Compared with the grand scene in which the theme of "upstart" emerges endlessly in 2021, the novelty of minor categories in the first half of 2022 is quite satisfactory. Among them, there are 5 dramas featuring the changes of the times, 4 with youth themes, 3 with anti-spy/spy wars, 2 with contemporary themes, and 1 with military life, major history, biographies, military struggles, commercial wars, rural areas and cases involved. Shangxing Channel only broadcasts six first-round dramas in the evening prime time (hereinafter referred to as the prime time), so there are fewer kinds of themes, including cases involved, changes of the times, urban life, youth, romance and military life.

Pay attention to the daily life of small people

"Small but true" becomes the mainstream of narrative.

In the first half of 2022, the broadcasting style of Chinese drama market changed greatly, and "small" and "true" complemented each other and became the mainstream. On the one hand, small incision and big narrative, little people and big feelings, small perspective and big theme; On the other hand, the main characters on the screen are more grounded, focusing on ordinary people, radiating workers, chefs, doormen, grassroots cadres, kannika nimtragol, athletes, teachers, soldiers, etc., covering decoration, food, environmental protection, sports, marriage, life, etc., and a number of excellent works with profound thoughts, exquisite art and excellent production have emerged.

From January to May, more than 30% of the dramas with an average audience rating of 1% broke in the first round of the evening yellow file of Shangxing Channel; There are five plays with an average audience rating of over 2%, including The Covenant of a New House, Perfect Companion, Heartbeat on the Tip of the Tongue, In the World, Spring Breeze and Green Jiang Nanan. The protagonists of these series are not important figures, and they are basically implemented in "small" roles. In the creation of drama series, we pay attention to the use of the word "truth" and pursue the natural expression of life-oriented narrative, so the plot looks real and credible, and the character view is amiable and lovely, which can arouse the audience’s empathy.

The main melody drama pursues the expression of truth. "Spring Breeze and Green Jiang Nanan" focuses on "eco-environmental protection" and pushes "dare to tell the truth and do practical things". The rhythm is compact and lively, and the total ratings of Jiangsu Satellite TV and Zhejiang Satellite TV exceeded 2% after one week of broadcasting. Renowned works are changed into screenwriters to pursue true feelings. According to Liang Xiaosheng’s adaptation of The World with the same name, it depicts a little person’s "fireworks under the eaves", which is full of simple feelings in the world. The feelings of father and son, husband and wife and friends make people cry and cleanse their hearts. The actors collectively offer "cosmetic" acting skills, which has become an annual quality drama in one fell swoop. The average audience rating of CCTV-1 comprehensive channel is 2.25%, the Douban rating is 8.1, and the Douban rating is nearly 180,000. Industry drama pursues industry truth. The Covenant of New Houses focuses on the "true and false" decoration and exposes many industry insiders. It is a refreshing work, with the audience rating exceeding 2.6%. Family drama pursues the truth of plot and characters. "Dear Children" set off public opinion, which resonated with the audience, and the audience rating exceeded 1%. Costume drama pursues historical truth. "The Wind Rises in Longxi" tells the story of spy war with the background of the Three Kingdoms period. On the basis of historical truth, the master created a reasonable imagination, film-level shots and brain-burning plots, which won the audience’s affirmation and achieved 1.72% ratings on CCTV-8 TV drama channel.

Broaden the track of industry drama

Including elites in the workplace and ordinary workers.

Industry drama is the highlight of the vertical subdivision of the track in the layout of satellite TV platform, which is prone to explosions, such as "Anjia" and "Mounting Taiwan", which have become classic works in recent years. In the first half of this year, industry dramas continued to expand "upward" and "downward" under the concept of realistic creation.

Up, industry dramas are heading for the main theme, including Beautiful Days, which shows the development of China’s locomotive industry, Green Hills Without Ink, which shows the development of China’s forestry, Sanquan Creek Warming, which is the upgrading of China’s agriculture, Police Honor, Happy Police Officer Wang, which focuses on grassroots policemen, and Blue Flame Assault, which focuses on firefighters. The military life dramas include Ace Troops, Special Forces Series, Special Warfare Glory and Special Warfare Action. "Ace Force" shows the history of China’s military development with a span of nearly 40 years. After being broadcast on Jiangsu Satellite TV, the audience rating broke 2%. "Glory of Special Operations" focuses on the personal growth of the members of the special operations armed police. After the broadcast of Zhejiang Satellite TV and Shanghai Oriental TV, the total audience rating is 1.45%. "Special Operations" projected the lens to the international anti-terrorism battlefield, landed in the sub-yellow file of CCTV-8 TV drama channel, and gained 0.73% results.

With the opportunity of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, the ice and snow drama became a new theme industry drama in the first half of the year. "Beyond" focuses on short track speed skating. After its first broadcast on CCTV-1 comprehensive channel on January 9, 2022, it landed in Shanghai and Beijing, with a total score of 1.5%. "The Name of Ice and Snow" focuses on the key events of the Winter Olympics "Figure Skating, Short Track Speed Skating and Traditional Cross-country Skiing". It was first broadcast on Beijing Satellite TV on February 5, 2022, followed by five satellite TV stations in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hebei, Jilin and Heilongjiang, artistically presenting the fighting spirit of Chinese ice and snow athletes.

"Downward", the industry drama is subdivided all the way. There are developments in the inheritance of urban workplace dramas, including the legal drama "The Law of Ladies" which depicts female lawyers, and "Please call me director" which adheres to the idea of "overbearing president falls in love with me". Themes are sinking, including the home improvement drama The Covenant of a New House, Welcome with the doorman as the protagonist, and Dress Up with fashion magazines as the carrier. Since "Dressing Taiwan", "The Covenant of New Houses" once again depicts ordinary workers with strong colors, bricklayers, plumbers, big bosses and top designers in the same box, with a strange and simple style and interesting and informative stories. The audience rating of the drama broke 1% on the first day after it was broadcast on CCTV-1 comprehensive channel, and then it climbed steadily.

"Middle-aged drama" shows a blowout momentum.

Focus on women’s awakening

With the popularity of "Sister Who Rides the Wind and Waves", there has been an upsurge of women’s awakening in China, and film and television creators have keenly captured this trend, and "her theme" has been popular for a while. At the end of 2021, this kind of theme was further extended, and it began to pay attention to the hearts of middle-aged people, focusing deeply on the marriage dilemma and value remodeling of middle-aged women, which was quite topical. The popularity of Xiaomin’s Home has led to the rapid rise of "middle-aged drama".

In the first half of 2022, the "middle-aged drama" with different styles rushed to the beach TV platform, trying to explore how urban women should break the shackles of marriage, balance their careers and families, find themselves again, and "wake up, start again and grow again" from different angles.

Hunan Satellite TV took "Perfect Companion" (broadcast on January 5, 2022) as the opening drama, describing how middle-aged working women balance the dilemma of family and career, and the audience rating exceeded 2.4%; Then "Two Conjectures of Marriage" (broadcast on February 21st, 2022) was broadcast, which described the "flash marriage" life of 30-year-old professional women in light comedy style. Beijing Satellite TV played "Our Marriage" (broadcast on February 23, 2022), and the stay-at-home wife returned to the workplace and grew up with her husband, which triggered a heated discussion among the audience. Zhejiang Satellite TV and Shanghai Oriental TV broadcast "Heart Residence" (broadcast on March 17, 2022), which tells the inspirational story that foreign kannika nimtragol began to pursue her own value after becoming a single mother.

CCTV-8 TV series channels successively broadcast "Middle-aged dramas" such as "I have you in this life", "Dear Children", "Happy Duet" and "Lady’s Law", and the ratings of the first two dramas both broke 1%. Since June, the upsurge of "middle-aged drama" has warmed up again, with intensive broadcasting: CCTV-8 TV channel launched "Come on Mom" in the yellow file on the evening of June 5, Hunan Satellite TV broadcasted "Wife’s Choice" in the yellow file on June 6, and Beijing Satellite TV and Shanghai Oriental TV broadcasted "Lin Shen Seeing Deer" on June 7.

It is noteworthy that, as the era of small fresh meat gradually drifted away, a group of Mesozoic actors with high national standards gradually provoked the main beam. The actresses included Christina, Zhou Xun, Tanya, Yolanda, Li Xiaoran, Yin Tao, etc., and the actors included Lei Jiayin, Pan Yueming, Zhang Luyi, Huang Xuan, Chen Kun, Guo Jingfei, Wang Yang, Zhong Hanliang, etc., all of which performed well in major dramas.

Romantic dramas are even more grounded.

Youth theme is passionate and inspirational.

In the first half of 2022, Shangxing Platform launched a series of dramas with youthful emotional expressions for young audiences, and made new explorations in the main theme of differentiated competition and collaborative communication. The "romance" market showed new trends and new drama styles.

First, the traditional romance theme adheres to the realistic creation method, and the rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are mixed into dreams and reality, and there are signs of "landing". For example, although Heartbeat on the Tip of the Tongue is still the inner shell of the idol drama "The President of Cold Noodles and Mary Su", when it comes to the elements of "food", the style of painting has a pyrotechnic effect, and it has the effect of warming the heart. After its first broadcast on Zhejiang Satellite TV (broadcast on January 13, 2022), it won 2.3% ratings.

The second is an anti-elite routine. The protagonist touches ordinary people, and the story abandons the popular sadomasochism and sweet pet style, presenting a plain and routine daily work, with a warm and fresh style and a natural upward tone, which adds a layer of realistic struggle to the story. For example, "Welcome" staged the story of the little doorman attacking and chasing the stewardess, which truly and vividly described their living and working conditions. After the broadcast of Beijing and Shanghai Oriental TV (broadcast on May 18, 2022), the total audience rating exceeded 1.9%.

Third, the content of youth-themed works is grounded, inspiring and full of positive energy. The representative works are "Beyond" and "The Name of Ice and Snow", two winter Olympic dramas with outstanding realistic style, thrilling and exciting competition scenes, which make the audience excited and glorious. In addition, there are "Guo Ping Pong Career Drama", "Glory Ping Pong", fire rescue drama "Blue Flame Assault" and youth inspirational comedy "Dream Chasers League", all of which show a positive tone.

To sum up, in the first half of 2022, China’s big-screen drama market surged with heat, innovation and many bright spots. The realistic theme work "In the World" has become the annual quality benchmark, and the main melody works such as "Spring Breeze and Green Jiang Nanan", "Police Honor", "Transcendence" and "Special War Glory" are deeply rooted in people’s hearts. Urban dramas such as "The Covenant of a New House", "Welcome to My Dear Child" have been successfully broken, and dramas such as "Perfect Companion", "Heartbeat on the Tip of the Tongue" and "You in this Life" have quite a healing effect. Looking forward to a more exciting second half.

　　ASEAN countries are located at the intersection of land and sea in the Belt and Road Initiative, and are key areas for high-quality joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative. In the past 10 years since the Belt and Road Initiative was put forward, from economic and trade exchanges to cultural exchanges, China-ASEAN Expo’s circle of friends has become larger and larger, and its outward attraction has become stronger and stronger.

　　— — — — — — — — — —

　　The 20th China-ASEAN Expo came to an end not long ago, but the vision of China and ASEAN countries meeting challenges together and building a closer China-ASEAN destiny community is inspiring people to move forward.

　　"This year, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader proposed to build a closer China-ASEAN destiny community and jointly build ‘ Belt and Road ’ The 10th anniversary of the initiative is also the 20th anniversary of the founding of China-ASEAN Expo and China-ASEAN Business and Investment Summit (hereinafter referred to as "China-ASEAN Expo" and "Summit" respectively). China — Wei Zhaohui, Secretary-General of the ASEAN Expo Secretariat, said that since China-ASEAN Expo and the Summit were held for 20 years, the bilateral trade volume between China and ASEAN has grown at an average annual rate of more than 13%, which has promoted the two sides to become each other’s largest trading partners and the most active partners in mutual investment, and helped to build a new pattern of China-ASEAN opening up at a higher level.

　　According to Xu Ningning, executive director of the China-ASEAN Business Council, ASEAN countries are located in the land-sea intersection of the "Belt and Road" and are key areas for building the "Belt and Road" with high quality. In the 10 years since the "Belt and Road Initiative" was put forward, China-ASEAN Expo has closely followed China — The needs of the times of ASEAN cooperation, constantly expand the functions of the platform, and promote the implementation of China — A series of consensus documents, joint statements and action plans reached by ASEAN have deepened China’s trade, investment, interconnection and regional cooperation with ASEAN countries, which is also the way to China-ASEAN Expo’s enduring success.

　　Inter-regional complementary resources promote active investment and trade.

　　The theme of the 20th China-ASEAN Expo is "Building a Home with Harmony, Destiny and Common Future — — Push ‘ Belt and Road ’ High-quality development and building an economic growth center. " At the meeting, many exhibitors expressed that they felt the dividends brought by the complementary market resources and factor flow between China and ASEAN. Zhu Qiugen, from Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, talks about tea at the exhibition during the day and packs tea for customers from all over the world in the hotel at night.

　　This year is his second time in China-ASEAN Expo, and he found that many tea lovers used to look at the price but now at the quality. "More and more customers have found me for the fragrance of tea, and people who understand the good products have found it. This change is more gratifying than how much tea I have sold."

　　Zhu Qiugen deals in ancient tea from Laos. The local tea garden employs local people to pick fresh tea and process it into "wool", and then it is transported to Xishuangbanna via China-Laos Railway for further processing to make a series of products such as tea cakes and tea bricks. Zhu Qiugen also founded the brand of "Laos Ancient Rhyme Tea Industry".

　　In recent years, thanks to the convenience of transportation and policies, Zhu Qiugen went deep into the country of origin and built a relatively complete industrial chain from picking, research and development, production and sales. "Let customers drink a cup of ancient tree tea that really comes from the mountains, without middlemen." In this way, the quality and cost have been well controlled.

　　The tea consumption market in China is huge, and the demand for high-quality tea has become a trend. Zhu Qiugen thinks that tea is a gentle lifestyle and a product that pursues quality of life. However, the domestic resources for picking ancient tree tea are limited, and some merchants have false propaganda and shoddy to some extent, which makes many consumers hesitate to buy.

　　In 2015, Zhu Qiugen just arrived in Laos, and he was doing hotel business at that time, but soon the local ancient tree tea fragrance caught his attention. In Laos, the unique and closed natural environment creates the good quality of Laos ancient tree tea, but these teas are mostly sold as agricultural products. "Laos has raw materials, and China has a market, so the connection naturally arises." Zhu Qiugen said.

　　With the opening of China-Laos Railway, Zhu Qiugen’s tea business has more convenient transportation conditions. If the tea is to be sold to Nanning market, Zhu Qiugen will choose to go by sea through Vietnam, which is "more cost-effective".

　　Guangxi is the only land-sea connecting region between China and ASEAN. The coastal, border and riverside areas of China-ASEAN Industrial Cooperation Zone are the frontier and window of Guangxi’s opening to the outside world. Relying on the existing parks in Nanning, Beihai, Fangchenggang, Qinzhou, Yulin, Baise and Chongzuo, Guangxi has integrated the construction of China-ASEAN Industrial Cooperation Zone, creating a development pattern of "one city, one area, one park". At present, many areas in the cooperation zone have achieved seamless traffic connection with ASEAN countries. For example, Chongzuo area is 180 kilometers away from Hanoi and Nanning, the capital of Vietnam, and there are four national first-class ports around it, which is the most convenient land international passage from China to Indo-China Peninsula.

　　"In July this year, Liuzhou Economic and Trade Delegation and 32 key enterprises went to Southeast Asia to carry out economic and trade exchange activities." Yao Fang, deputy director of the Management Committee of Liuzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone, said that the well-known domestic new energy automobile brands with factories in Liuzhou have actively gone abroad, and now they have sales markets in 72 countries and regions around the world.

　　The vigorous market demand drives the pace of transportation infrastructure construction. Sima Zhe, senior economist of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and head of the ecosystem of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, said that in 2021, the AIIB provided 300 million US dollars to support the improvement project of border connectivity in Chongzuo, Guangxi, which improved the efficiency of cross-border connectivity around Shuolong Port and strengthened the economic and trade activities between China and Viet Nam.

　　In terms of commodity trading, the exchanges between Guangxi and ASEAN have become increasingly close. Guangxi is rich in commodity resources, with the output of white sugar, wood and raw silk ranking first in the country, and the output of alumina, pigs, pulp, Chinese herbal medicines and non-ferrous metals ranking first in the country. At the same time, Guangxi is also an important import port for ASEAN-specific commodities such as wood, non-ferrous metals, oil and gas, coal and fruits.

　　Li Kaizhou, deputy director of the local financial supervision bureau of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, said that in recent years, Guangxi has seized green opportunities, deepened cooperation with ASEAN, built a pilot free trade zone with high quality, and actively created a convenient place for domestic and international dual-cycle markets. The construction of new land and sea channels in the west has been accelerating. From January to July this year, Guangxi’s import and export to ASEAN was 188.08 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 71.6%.

　　Adhere to joint business and win-win sharing.

　　Wei Zhaohui, Secretary-General of China-ASEAN Expo Secretariat, said that since the China-ASEAN Expo and China-ASEAN Investment Summit were held 20 years ago, 196 Chinese and foreign leaders, more than 4,100 ministerial-level VIPs and heads of international organizations attended, which was accompanied by friendly relations between China and ASEAN and grew together with the construction of China-ASEAN Free Trade Area.

　　"China-ASEAN Expo has been successfully held for 20 years in a row, thanks to the unique exhibition mode. This is the successful password for China-ASEAN Expo to do something new and better." Wei Zhaohui introduced.

　　Adhere to business cooperation and win-win sharing, adhere to the principle of not making profits for ASEAN countries, respect ASEAN’s opinions on major issues, and give priority to meeting ASEAN’s needs in terms of booth arrangement. In this China-ASEAN Expo, the scale and proportion of ASEAN exhibitions remain the largest in China International Exhibition, and seven countries including Indonesia, Malaysia and Viet Nam have resumed their pavilions and restored ASEAN’s "Charming City" exhibition area.

　　Wei Zhaohui introduced that in all aspects of exhibition preparation, we should respect the ASEAN way, take care of ASEAN wishes, and always adhere to the value concept of "10+1>11". The ministers of economy and trade of China and 10 ASEAN governments and the ASEAN Secretary-General will serve as co-directors of the organizing committee, the directors of departments in charge of various countries will serve as deputy secretaries-general, and the directors will serve as liaison officers. Major issues will be discussed by the organizing committee meetings and senior officials meetings.

　　"International Friendship City Entering Dongbo" is also a highlight of the exhibition in recent years. According to the data of Foreign Affairs Office of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, at present, Guangxi has concluded 128 pairs of international sister cities with 39 countries, ranking fourth in the country. During this visit to China-ASEAN Expo, more than 30 sister cities from nearly 20 countries participated in the exhibition with their own special products.

　　"Before, our market was mainly concentrated in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. I never thought that the products could radiate to the inland of China and even ASEAN countries." Hong Yongwang, representing Zaragoza, Spain, said that Zaragoza and Yulin, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region are international sister cities. Entrusted by the Zaragoza municipal government, Hong Yongwang brought more than 160 products including red wine, ham and olive oil to the site in China-ASEAN Expo.

　　Last year, the double-deck sinking square of Nahong Interchange Station of Nanning Metro, designed and built jointly by Nanning and Crema, Italy — — Friendship City Metro Plaza was officially completed, becoming the first subway station space in China that was fully decorated and designed by International Friendship City. At this year’s China-ASEAN Expo, exhibitor Zhang Xiaowei brought a painting entitled "Table Culture" to the scene to explain the Italian wine culture to the audience, and the author of this painting, Marilisa Leon, is the designer of the subway station space. Stephania Bonaldi, mayor of Crema, Italy, commented: "The design of the square is closely related to the theme of the Silk Road, which has brought the cultural ties between China and Italy closer and the two countries and peoples closer."

　　Institutional opening stimulates new kinetic energy of cooperation

　　From economic and trade exchanges to cultural exchanges, China-ASEAN Expo’s circle of friends is getting bigger and bigger, and its outward attraction is getting stronger and stronger. In the process of cooperation between China and ASEAN countries, many institutional and mechanistic modes of cooperation and dialogue have gradually taken shape.

　　During this year’s China-ASEAN Expo, a side event on the theme of "Institutional Opening: A New Pattern of Regional Economic Development" was held for the first time, and the "ASEAN National Standardization Cooperation and Exchange Center" was officially unveiled. The ASEAN cross-border e-commerce digital intelligence service platform and the e-commerce exchange center of the digital economy industrial park were announced to be open.

　　According to customs statistics, from January to August this year, the total import and export value of China to countries that jointly built the Belt and Road Initiative reached 12.62 trillion yuan, up 3.6% year-on-year, of which food trade reached 553.82 billion yuan, up 10.4% compared with the same period of last year and 162% compared with the same period of 2013. On the eve of the opening of China-ASEAN Expo, the Nanning Declaration on Customs Food Safety Cooperation on the Belt and Road was issued, and all parties signed the articles of association of the cooperation mechanism.

　　The perfection of the mechanism and articles of association aims at more convenient, long-term and stable factor flow. It is the consensus of many enterprises that "there is vitality when there is mobility, and there is market when there is mobility".

　　Last year, Guangxi Xinzhong Industrial Investment Co., Ltd. cooperated with the secretariat of China-ASEAN Expo to build a China-ASEAN special commodity gathering center. He Yan, the company’s deputy general manager, hopes that after participating in China-ASEAN Expo, economic and trade activities will continue for a long time through 17 offline pavilions and online platforms, and continuous economic and trade exchanges will take place with ASEAN countries in 365 days.

　　The international situation is complex and changeable, but the potential of the ASEAN market is constantly being released. "The number of ASEAN regional offices has grown particularly fast, exceeding our growth rate in China." Through this detail, Bo Yu, managing partner of PricewaterhouseCoopers Consulting (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., found that the ASEAN market is being regarded as a growth point in the future, both in China and the world.

　　Bo Yu further analyzed that people value the population and future growth of ASEAN, and the population structure is relatively young. He believed that Guangxi should make good use of the role of "bridgehead".

　　As an Indonesian enterprise, Jinguang Group has been rooted in China for more than 30 years. Zhai Jingli, vice president of Jinguang Paper (China) Investment Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Jinguang Group, believes that enterprises can make use of the cumulative rule of regional origin of RCEP and the advantage of the shortest and most convenient industrial supporting distance between Guangxi and ASEAN to expand the ASEAN market and play a good "ASEAN brand".

　　At present, some ASEAN countries have many environmental problems, such as soil degradation, water shortage and air pollution, which have affected local agricultural production and tourism and damaged local economic development to some extent. With the increasing demand for environmental protection in ASEAN countries, China’s environmental protection industry has gradually entered the ASEAN market. Hong Tao, director and professor of business economics research at Beijing Technology and Business University, pointed out in the China-ASEAN Forum on Innovation and Development of Commodity Trading that the effective implementation of RCEP has provided new impetus and cooperation foundation for promoting green recovery of regional economy, low-carbon development and global economic recovery, and reduced the cost of environmental protection industry in China.

　　In the past 20 years, the cooperation between China and ASEAN in the field of energy and electricity has been equally fruitful. By the end of August this year, China Southern Power Grid had been connected with the power grids of ASEAN countries through more than 10 circuits of 110 kV and above, achieving a total cross-border two-way power trade of nearly 70 billion kWh, of which clean energy accounted for over 90%. Hu Tianxiang of China-ASEAN Expo and china huadian Guangxi Company introduced that china huadian has invested in 9 projects under construction in ASEAN, with an installed capacity of 4.66 million kilowatts. In Cambodia, china huadian is the largest foreign power generation operator in Cambodia with an installed capacity of 1.038 million kilowatts under construction.

　　RCEP has entered a new stage of full entry into force and implementation, constantly releasing the strategic potential of economy and trade. Zhou Shi, a researcher and deputy director of the Research Office of the Market and Price Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission, believes that the import and export of Hunan and ASEAN countries in China increased by more than 70% in the year when RCEP was implemented, and the import and export of Guangxi to ASEAN countries also increased by 71.6% from January to July this year.

　　In the face of the current complicated and changeable international situation, many exhibitors realized that China and ASEAN are opportunities for mutual development and have great potential for cooperation. China was the first big country to sign and join the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia. In 2021, China and ASEAN upgraded their bilateral relations to a comprehensive strategic partnership.

　　Jiangsu Furen Group’s booth area in the 20th China-ASEAN Expo was not large, but the personnel in charge of market, operation and technology all came to the scene in order to better understand the ASEAN market and enterprises. In 2014, Jiangsu Furen Group held Jiangsu Xuzhou Forging Machine Group Co., Ltd., and two years later, it successfully acquired German EBU Forming Technology Co., Ltd. "This also marks that China Press has begun to rank among the world’s advanced manufacturing." Li Wei, deputy general manager of Xuforging Group, said that due to the rapid development of Thailand’s automobile industry in recent years, many internationally renowned automobile companies have invested and built factories in Thailand, and the export of intelligent forging equipment of Xuforging Group to Thailand has also increased by 20%-30%.

　　"The ASEAN market is becoming a new strategic growth point, especially in terms of labor structure, operating costs and market potential. The implementation of RCEP has also provided us with a stable and efficient supply chain network." Li Wei is full of expectations for the development of enterprises in the ASEAN market and the prospect of international cooperation. "We will also continue to enhance the technological breakthrough capability of intelligent manufacturing and better go abroad."

　　On June 8, 57-year-old He Xiuqing hugged his son who had been abducted for 31 years and cried with joy at the "Reunion We Are in Action" Suining Branch in Sichuan.

　　Touching reunion scenes also appeared in Jinan, Shandong, Xuzhou, Jiangsu and Pingdingshan, Henan. Organized by the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, there are 11 groups of families holding the wedding ceremony. "Since the’ Reunion’ campaign was launched, more than 700 events have been organized in various places. We want to let the masses witness the joy of reuniting with lost relatives through such activities, and at the same time give confidence and encouragement to parents and children who are still struggling to find relatives. " Tong Bishan, deputy director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, said. According to reports, up to now, public security organs across the country have recovered 2,066 missing and abducted children, detected 116 cases of child abduction and arrested 278 suspects.

　　Use scientific and technological means to organize special investigation and collaborative verification.

　　"We have never given up what the people are eagerly looking forward to." The relevant person in charge of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security said that since January this year, the Ministry of Public Security has launched a "reunion" campaign as one of the important practices of "I do practical things for the masses", insisting on starting from the issues that people are most concerned about, and trying to help the masses solve the problem of "urgent difficulties and worries" with all their hearts and feelings.

　　"Due to the limited technical level and the difficulty in obtaining evidence, the accumulated case of child trafficking was not detected in time." Liu Jingjie, director of the Anti-trafficking Office of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, said that in recent years, with the development of science and technology and the improvement of handling cases, public security organs have the ability and energy to fully detect such accumulated cases.

　　According to reports, in the "reunion" operation, local public security organs carefully sorted out the case files, evidence clues and suspects at large, organized special investigations on major cases, focused on tackling key problems, comprehensively applied new technologies and new means to conduct in-depth research and judgment, and found a breakthrough in the case and arrested suspects.

　　Not long ago, the public security organs in Chaoyang, Liaoning Province successfully detected a child abduction case that was supervised by the Ministry of Public Security during the "reunion" operation. Using new scientific and technological means and investigation measures, the task force successfully arrested three suspects who had absconded for more than 20 years. At the same time, it cooperated with the police in many places through interviews and DNA tests, and recovered 10 abducted children.

　　"In recent years, the cross-regional investigation and cooperation mechanism of public security organs across the country has become increasingly perfect, and close cooperation and collaborative verification have become the norm, providing an important guarantee for the’ reunion’ action." Tong Bishan said.

　　Establish a quick search mechanism for missing children and weave a safety net.

　　"I heard that the public security organs are carrying out the’ reunion’ action. Can you help me find my son and daughter who have been lost for 44 years?" In March this year, the xinyuan county Public Security Bureau of Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region received an alarm from Zhang Siye, a resident of the jurisdiction, saying that in February 1977, his two children were lost in Urumqi Railway Station.

　　After receiving the police, Yili Public Security Bureau immediately collected Zhang Siye’s blood sample, and at the same time, started with the relics of his deceased wife, tested the DNA information and entered it into the national abduction DNA system. With the help of many parties, in April this year, after review and inspection, the DNA information of Zhang Siye and his wife was successfully compared. On May 20th, 90-year-old Zhang Siye was finally reunited with his children.

　　"Since the launch of the’ Reunion’ campaign, we have tried to find the blood samples collected many years ago and lost the conditions for testing and comparison. At the same time, we can also extract DNA from their previous daily necessities." Sun Bing, deputy head of the Criminal Investigation Corps of the Public Security Department of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, said.

　　In 2009, the Ministry of Public Security established a national abduction DNA database, and continuously collected and entered the DNA and related information of relatives of abducted or missing children. "In the past few years, due to technical limitations, the DNA information obtained by blood collection was less, and the comparison results obtained were too broad to accurately determine the comparison object." Liu Jingjie introduced that after the "Reunion" campaign, we cleaned up the abduction DNA database, re-collected and expanded the number of blood samples, and improved and updated relevant information.

　　"About 50% of the missing abducted children found in the’ Reunion’ operation were successfully compared based on the newly collected DNA data this year." Tong Bishan said.

　　It is understood that in order to promote the joint efforts of various police types to solve the current case and mobilize the masses to jointly find missing children, the public security organs have established a rapid search mechanism for missing children. After receiving the report of missing children, local police will conduct an investigation as soon as possible and release information on the emergency release platform of missing children information of the Ministry of Public Security. By June 15th, this year, the platform had released 4,828 pieces of lost information about children, and 4,730 children were recovered, with a recovery rate of 98%.

　　Mobilize social forces and continue to have zero tolerance for the crime of trafficking.

　　According to reports, at present, China’s DNA testing technology and database construction are at the advanced level in the world. The testing method is stable and reliable, and individual identification is accurate and efficient, making it the most accurate method to find and identify kinship.

　　"We hope to mobilize all social forces and encourage relatives to take the initiative to report to the public security organs and collect blood for free." Liu Jingjie said that in order to facilitate the parents of missing abducted children, suspected abductees and people with unknown origin to collect blood, public security organs across the country have recently announced more than 3,000 addresses and contact numbers of free blood collection points on the basis of previous free blood collection.

　　In the next step, the public security organs will test the collected blood samples in time and continue to carry out technical comparison. At the same time, the public security organs hope that the masses will provide clues about missing and abducted children in time.

　　Tong Bishan said that the public security organs will continue to have zero tolerance for the crime of trafficking, zero slack in finding and rescuing missing abducted children, and let more unfortunate families realize their dream of reunion.
