Audi is on fire again! The new car is over 5450mm long.

From the modeling point of view, L has adopted the family-style design language, which is a matter of opinion, but from the feedback of friends around me, it is really popular. Audi A8L’s hexagonal middle net is huge, and with the "Audi" logo, the outline of the front of the vehicle looks sharp and atmospheric, and the lights on both sides are quite beautiful, which makes it look very energetic after lighting up. The side of the car body is still Audi’s unique design style, and the enchanting figure is even more vivid! In addition, it makes its sports atmosphere more intense. At the same time, the tail of Founder’s vehicle echoes the front, and the penetrating taillights of LED light sources also have a certain sense of advanced.

Audi A8L puts the details into practice and extends the high quality from the appearance to the inside of the car. The large leather coverage of the steering wheel brings a good sense of luxury, and at the same time, it is practical with shift paddles. The whole center console is made of plastic, leather and wood, and the materials and workmanship look quite satisfactory. It is equipped with a 10.1-inch touch LCD screen, which is clear in display and natural in design. The front row is also equipped with a dual-temperature automatic air conditioning control system to freely debug the most comfortable space atmosphere. The self-adjusting seat is relatively comfortable and can hold the family firmly.

Audi A8 has a car length of 5450mm, a car body width of 1945mm and a wheelbase of 3258mm, which is quite satisfactory. In the same class, the wheelbase of Audi A8 ranks seventh. The interior space of the car is relatively spacious at the same level, the height and width of the car are ideal, and the legroom in the back row will not feel cramped, which belongs to the upper-middle level at the same level. The design of skylight also increases the subjective space feeling of front and rear passengers. Audi A8′ s trunk volume ranks 6th among the same price and class models. The space is relatively regular, without obvious protrusions, and the overall loading capacity is good.

Audi A8 is equipped with a 4.0 engine with a maximum output of 338kW and a maximum torque of 660Nm. It will definitely bring unforgettable control charm. The official measured acceleration of Audi A8 is 4.8S, ranking 16th among more than 800,000 car models.

Adaptability test of Bai Lian cheng gang Chang ‘an Auchan in alpine environment

Why did you come here for a cold test?

Home of the car

What does the alpine test measure?

  The cold test includes many aspects such as the exterior, interior, driving state and working condition of the vehicle, but the most intuitive aspects for users are cold start, defrosting, defogging, interior heating and driving experience.

  Let’s talk about cold start first. First, the vehicle should stand outdoors for more than 12 hours at the lowest temperature of -30 to -35 degrees Celsius. According to the testers, the test process is fixed, and they have to adjust their work and rest time according to the temperature change, usually starting work at 5-7 am. Because this time period is the coldest, it meets the test requirements. Now Mohe is just dawn at about 8 am.

  In the cold start project, there are two dimensions to measure the results. The first is the start-up time (within 10 seconds, it is up to standard), and the second is whether it can be successfully started at one time. After both of them meet the standards, only one set of tests has been completed, and only three sets have to be completed continuously to be qualified. It is reported that there is no problem. In the case of -35 degrees Celsius, the startup time is about 4 seconds.

  For users in cold areas, the speed of vehicle defrosting and defogging is also very important. There are also two aspects to measure this project, namely, the time spent on defrosting and defogging and the corresponding area. Testers will collect and record data for these two aspects one by one. In addition, a comprehensive evaluation should be made based on the subjective feelings of drivers and passengers.

  In addition to defrosting and defogging, the effect of air conditioning will be verified, and the tester will record the temperature of the air outlet and the temperature near the headrest. They also said that, for example, the lower air outlet of the foot should have the same air outlet, and one foot should not be cold and the other foot should be hot. It is reported that in the weather like Mohe, the water temperature of the engine can rise to about 70 degrees in about 5-6 minutes when the vehicle is idling after starting, and warm air is blown out at the air outlet.

  Whether electronic components can work normally in low temperature environment is also the focus of staff testing. Auchan comes standard with an instrument panel with LCD screen, which is rare in the same model. As shown on the screen, the current outdoor temperature is -18 degrees Celsius, and the instrument information is all normal. The staff introduced that in the case of -30 degrees Celsius, when the vehicle just started and the water temperature was low, there would be a slight smear phenomenon when the big numbers on the dashboard changed, but this situation did not exist after the water temperature rose. There is no such situation on the screen of the sound system next to it. It can be displayed normally at any time, and the system responds quickly.

  Road verification is also an indispensable part of every day, and the staff will drive vehicles to crawl at low speed and test urban roads, national highways and highways every day. On the way, acceleration and braking tests will be carried out according to road conditions to simulate normal driving habits. The speed range covers 0-120km/h, and the temperature ranges from 0 to -35 degrees Celsius. And according to the temperature change of 5 degrees Celsius as a calibration to collect data. At the same time, it is necessary to analyze the driver’s own subjective feelings to find out the potential problems that may exist in the vehicle.

● Summary:

  The "three highs" test is mainly aimed at verifying the reliability of products, and Auchan has withstood the test in these aspects. It is not difficult to see from the "three highs" test learned this time that vehicle engineers are engaged in the same boring work day after day because of their fixed workflow and specifications and harsh environment. And all this is to truly simulate the car use of local users and ensure that vehicles can be used normally in any state. As the saying goes, it takes a lot of tempering to become steel.

  The process and specifications of the "Three High" test involve the business secrets of the manufacturers, especially the data information, so they naturally don’t want to disclose it to me as an outsider. Secondly, the time for participation is very tight, and the information that can be learned is limited. Therefore, this article can only be written from the perspective of personal feelings. However, Auchan is about to be officially listed, and these boring experiments may not be as attractive as the test drive. As for Auchan’s performance in power and control, we will present you with wonderful test drive articles at the end of the month. (Text/Photo/Photo by Liu Wei)

How do Sylphy and LaVida choose your ideal car?

In the compact car market, Nissan and Volkswagen have always been the hot models concerned by consumers. These two cars have their own advantages, both in design, interior style, power performance and market reputation. So, for you who are considering buying an oil car, how should you choose? This paper will make a comparative analysis of Sylphy and LaVida from many angles to help you make wise decisions.

Price and car purchase cost

Price is undoubtedly one of the most concerned factors when consumers buy a car. According to the latest market data, the price range of 2024 Nissan Sylphy is 68.6-13.49 million yuan, while the price range of 2024 Volkswagen LaVida is 49.0-99.9 million yuan. From the price range, LaVida’s starting price is lower, which is more attractive to consumers with limited budget. In particular, the price of LaVida’s entry-level models has dropped to more than 60,000 yuan, which is very rare in the same class. However, it is worth noting that Sylphy often has a large preferential margin in actual sales, and some dealers even offer preferential loan activities and trade-in subsidies, which further reduces its actual car purchase cost.

Appearance design and style

In terms of design, Sylphy and LaVida both show their own unique styles. Xuanyi continues the classic elements of family style, with full machine cover, compact body lines and a large area of blackened net, creating a strong sense of muscle and sports. LaVida, on the other hand, uses a straight waterfall chrome trim and a sharp headlight group, which is simple without losing the sense of strength. On the side of the car body, LaVida’s waistline runs through the car body, adding a sense of movement to the whole car. In the rear part, both cars adopt the design language of their own brands, showing different visual effects. Judging from the overall feeling of appearance, Xuanyi is younger and more sporty, suitable for young consumers who pursue fashion and dynamic; LaVida, on the other hand, is more stable and atmospheric, suitable for home users who pay attention to quality and practicality.

Interior design and configuration

Entering the car, Sylphy and LaVida also have their own advantages in interior design. Sylphy’s interior is similar to the current model. The center console and door panel are wrapped in large leather, equipped with self-luminous 7-inch instrument panel, 12.3-inch central control screen and three steering wheels. The overall style is biased towards home use. LaVida, on the other hand, adopts a symmetrical layout style, with clear functional divisions and convenient operation. Some areas are wrapped with soft materials, matched with stitching and punching technology, which improves the texture of the interior. In addition, LaVida also comes standard with an 8-inch full LCD instrument and an 8-inch central control panel (10.25 inches and 12 inches for high-profile models), and is equipped with MOS intelligent interconnection system and other functions. LaVida is slightly superior in the sense of luxury and technology in the interior. However, Sylphy’s seat design is more generous and comfortable, providing passengers with a better ride experience.

Power performance and fuel economy

In terms of power, Sylphy is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 90kW(122 HP) and a maximum torque of 155N·m, matching the CVT continuously variable gearbox. LaVida offers 1.5L and 1.5T power versions for consumers to choose from. Among them, the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 81kW(110 HP) and a peak torque of 141N·m, matching a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. The 1.5T engine has higher power output. From the perspective of dynamic performance, Sylphy’s accelerated ride comfort and fuel economy are more suitable for urban commuting and home transportation; LaVida’s 1.5T version is more suitable for consumers who have higher requirements for power. However, it should be noted that the 1.5L version of LaVida is slightly inferior to the 1.6L version of Sylphy in power. In terms of fuel economy, both cars have performed quite well. The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of Sylphy is between 4.9 and 6.1L/100 km, while the comprehensive fuel consumption of the WLTC of LaVida is only 5.92L/100km(1.5L version).

Market feedback and word of mouth

Sylphy and LaVida, as popular models in the market, have received extensive attention and praise. Many car owners think that Xuanyi’s exterior design is fashionable and dynamic, the interior is comfortable and practical, and the fuel economy is excellent; LaVida, on the other hand, has won the trust of consumers with its stable and atmospheric appearance, exquisite craftsmanship and reliable quality. In addition, the two models have also performed well in terms of safety, and they are equipped with a number of active and passive safety configurations to ensure the safety of drivers and passengers. According to the statistics of the User Behavior Research Institute of Cheping.com, Sylphy won the title of the best word-of-mouth vehicle in the 2023 [Car Review List], and its positive word-of-mouth index reached 9052 points. LaVida also won a good reputation in the market with its balanced performance and excellent cost performance.

Highlights of Internet Development in China in 2015 and Development Prospect in 2016

    In 2015, the bright spots of Internet development in China appeared frequently. This aspect benefited from the rich accumulation of talents, users, products, companies, capital and concepts after 20 years of development of the Internet in China, which ushered in a period of rapid development from a network power to a network power; On the other hand, thanks to the top-level design of the country and the active participation of the whole society, the "internet plus" has risen to the national strategic level, promoting mass entrepreneurship and innovation, and the Internet has become an indispensable part of China’s infrastructure construction, scientific and technological progress, economic transformation, social development, national governance and even international exchanges and cooperation. 

    Highlights of Internet Development in China in 2015

    The 13th Five-Year Plan proposal adopted by the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee emphasizes the implementation of the strategy of strengthening the country through network, the implementation of the "internet plus" action plan, the development of sharing economy and the implementation of the national big data strategy. The national top-level design has greatly promoted the Internet to penetrate all aspects of China’s economic, social and cultural development.

    (A) the national strategic level

    1. "internet plus" has risen to a national strategy and built a new ecology of economic development.

    In March, the government work report proposed to formulate the "internet plus" action plan, and in June, the the State Council executive meeting adopted the "internet plus Action Guiding Opinions". In 2015, eight ministries and bureaus, including the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Commerce, the Health Planning Commission, the Tourism Bureau and the Energy Bureau, issued the "internet plus", among which the Ministry of Commerce has issued the first ministerial-level action plan, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "internet plus" three-year action plan. Subsequently, local versions of action plans were launched one after another. Fujian, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Sichuan, Hunan, Henan and other provinces will definitely formulate their own Internet action plans. More than 20 provincial local governments across the country have signed strategic cooperation agreements with major Internet companies to carry out comprehensive and in-depth cooperation in cloud computing, big data, smart city construction, Internet public services, e-commerce and Internet finance.

    "internet plus" related forums and conferences are getting more and more popular. From government to enterprises to individuals, people are exploring how to use the power of the Internet to achieve efficiency improvement, industrial upgrading and innovation and entrepreneurship. Internet plus Finance, inclusive finance in the Internet Age; Retail in internet plus, achieving e-commerce; Internet+education to achieve universal online education; Internet plus Life Service, Achieving O2O. The "mass entrepreneurship and innovation" promoted by the Internet are also concentrated in these areas. The future Internet will be combined with agriculture, education, medical care, finance, transportation, tourism, culture, home, life service, media, advertising, retail and other industries to form a new ecological landscape.

    2. Accelerate the pace of becoming a network power and actively participate in global Internet governance.

    In October, the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" proposal adopted by the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee clearly stated: "Implement the strategy of strengthening the country by network and accelerate the construction of a new generation of information infrastructure with high speed, mobility, security and ubiquity". China has nearly 700 million netizens, more than 4 million websites, 1.3 billion mobile phone users, 600 million WeChat and Weibo users, and the market value of 7.85 trillion Internet listed companies. It is a veritable Internet power. At present, four listed companies, Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu and JD.COM, have entered the top 10 global Internet companies. Non-listed companies such as Huawei, Ant Financial and Xiaomi have also entered the top 20 in the world. China’s Internet industry is developing steadily, the market competition is full, and its independent innovation ability is enhanced, and it is making great strides to become a network power.

    In 2015, China actively participated in the global Internet development and governance, fully expressed China’s proposition of establishing a new global cyberspace order, and put forward the "China Plan" for Internet development and governance. In September, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader visited the United States, and the two sides reached important consensus on cybersecurity and other aspects, and reached six achievements in the Internet field. In December, China hosted the second world internet conference with higher specifications and larger scale. In the keynote speech of the conference, the supreme leader put forward four principles of respecting network sovereignty, maintaining peace and security, promoting open cooperation, and building a well-ordered global Internet governance system, and five propositions of jointly building a community of cyberspace destiny, which have far-reaching influence.

    3. Comprehensively promote the national big data strategy and build a data power.

    The 13th Five-Year Plan proposes that China will implement the strategy of strengthening the country through network, the "internet plus" action plan and the national big data strategy. In September, the State Council officially issued the "Action Program for Promoting Big Data Development", which put forward the top-level design of China’s big data development from the overall height of the national big data development strategy. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is formulating the "Thirteenth Five-Year Development Plan for Big Data Industry". On November 17, People’s Daily published an article signed by Meng Jianzhu, Minister of Public Security, proposing to co-ordinate the construction of infrastructure such as big data, cloud computing center and Internet of Things.

    The convergence of the Internet and human economic and social activities has triggered explosive growth of data. Big data has become the core theme of deepening the development of national informatization and the next starting point for the country to promote the development of informatization. Developing big data has become an inevitable choice for building a data power and promoting big data to govern the country. Local governments have begun to actively seize the opportunity to promote the development of big data. On April 14th, Guiyang Big Data Exchange, the first big data exchange in China, was officially put into operation and completed the first batch of big data transactions. The Southern Data Center of the three major communication operators and the first national comprehensive experimental zone for big data were also completed in Guizhou. On December 12th, Zhongguancun in Beijing released the roadmap and enterprise distribution map of "Big Data" industry to the society for the first time. By 2020, Zhongguancun will gather 600 big data innovative enterprises and cultivate 6,000 enterprises with big data application capabilities.

    (B) the level of industry development

    1. "internet plus" is more manifested as "moving internet plus".

    No matter from the market, equipment, traffic, or from the user’s point of view, the mobile Internet will continue to maintain rapid growth. According to CNNIC statistics, as of June 2015, the number of Internet users in China reached 668 million, while the number of mobile phone users reached 594 million. The proportion of Internet users using mobile phones increased from 85.8% in December 2014 to 88.9%. According to the statistics of iResearch, in the third quarter of 2015, the scale of China’s network economy reached 278.39 billion yuan, with a mobile contribution rate of 36.0%, which is still increasing. In October, the monthly average mobile Internet access traffic reached 361.6M, up 88.3% year-on-year, and the mobile Internet access traffic reached 2.88 billion g, which doubled in October. China has built the world’s largest fourth-generation mobile communication (4G) network.

    "internet plus" is more manifested as "Mobile internet plus", and its new products, new applications and new models emerge one after another, laying a solid foundation and creating a broad space for "internet plus" action. In the field of the combination of the Internet and traditional industries, the mobile Internet has seized the limelight, and the investment and financing in the fields of transportation, finance, education, medical care, socialization, tourism, entertainment, life service, e-commerce, advertising and marketing are extremely active. A new round of hardware innovation represented by wearable devices, smart cars and smart homes has flourished, with core chips, operating systems, HTML5, 4G/5G, cloud computing and smart homes.

    2. Internet services are vertical and refined, and O2O is reshuffled and adjusted.

    Various service fields of the Internet are developing vertically, splitting out more subdivided demands, attracting capital investment and giving birth to entrepreneurial opportunities. Among them, O2O field is the most active, covering almost all peripheral services such as automobiles, tourism, education, take-away, laundry, car washing and housekeeping. With the increase of market competitors, the vertical market is characterized by severe verticalization and refinement, and the adjustment of O2O industry is also in full swing.

    Driven by capital and market, the core areas of Internet vertical services, such as online reading, O2O, online travel, and dating networks, began to be strong and strong, and the stronger they became. In January, Shanda Literature and Tencent Literature merged; Didi, quick merger in February; In April, 58 Tongcheng and Jiji.com announced the merger; In October, the public comment, the US Mission announced the merger, Ctrip and Qunar announced the merger; In December, jiayuan and Lily.com announced the merger. There are fewer opportunities left for small and medium-sized entrepreneurs in the whole vertical field, but small and beautiful enterprises are still likely to counterattack by deeply cultivating "the refinement of serving people" and "the uniqueness of consumption scenes".

    3. The Internet helps the sharing economy to reconstruct a new format and become a new driving force for future industrial development.

    On October 29th, the word "sharing economy" appeared in the communiqué of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, and it was proposed to "develop the sharing economy". At the second world internet conference, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader talked about the need to focus on developing new formats such as sharing economy during the 13th Five-Year Plan period. It is the development of Internet technology that makes the sharing economy enter a new stage of development. It is suggested that 2015 is the first year of sharing economy in China.

    Sharing economy is a sharp weapon to transform and upgrade traditional industries with Internet thinking. The traditional "rules of the game" in the fields of house leasing, transportation, housekeeping, hotels, restaurants and so on are being changed. Apps such as Didi Chuche, Ride, Dada, Everyone Express, and Going Home for Dinner are typical business products of the sharing economy. The sharing economy is changing the industrial chain structure of the format and reconstructing the original format. This format connects many idle, scattered and silent resources in society, and optimizes the allocation of social resources with the help of mobile Internet, big data and geographical location services, which not only reduces the cost, but also solves the "pain point", to some extent, changes the mode of relying on continuous investment to expand reproduction, and finally breaks the original business rules. The new format and mode of sharing economy are becoming a new driving force to promote the future industrial development.

    4. The new network culture is booming, creating a new path for the prosperity and development of the cultural industry.

    On October 19th, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China’s Opinions on Prospering and Developing Socialist Literature and Art put forward that we should vigorously develop online literature and art. Driven by the policy and cultural consumption demand, the emerging network culture is booming. At present, the scale of China’s network culture industry reaches 150 billion yuan, up 200% year-on-year; Online original literary works exceed the sum of works published by paper media in contemporary literature for 50 years. With the rapid and extensive coverage of social media, a number of self-media with the responsibility of spreading knowledge of Chinese studies and promoting traditional culture have sprung up. With the help of the Internet, the overseas spread of China culture has reached an unprecedented breadth.

    Internet "IP" (the abbreviation of intellectual property, meaning intellectual property) became the top hot word in the Internet field in 2015. The popular IP derived from online literature became the focus of crazy competition among major film and television companies, and many TV dramas adapted from the Internet "IP" were broadcasted, which triggered many rounds of social debates and highlighted the value of online IP. At present, around the popular "IP", a mature one-stop industry such as film and television drama, online drama, radio drama, comics and game production has been formed. From copyright trading to the production and distribution of film and television content, to the development of a series of derivative products such as games, e-commerce, real entertainment, toys, artists’ brokers, fan economy, etc., the improvement of production and creative ability brings about the feasibility of realizing products in various forms. Network culture has become an important force to promote the rapid development of China’s cultural industry.

    5. The independent innovation capability of Internet technology has been enhanced to promote the development of smart industry in China.

    In 2015, the development of Internet technology in China achieved major breakthroughs in many fields, such as 4G/5G network technology, mobile chips, intelligent terminals, cloud computing, big data, satellite navigation, etc., showing the characteristics of significantly enhancing the independent innovation capability of network technology, accelerating the catching-up of intelligent terminal manufacturing industry, and constantly cultivating new technologies and applications to form new formats.

    At the second world internet conference "Light of the Internet" Expo, the virtual fitting mirrors of Baidu unmanned vehicle, Alibaba Cloud technology, JD.COM "Weilian Smart Home" and Suning "Augmented Reality" displayed the latest technologies, products and applications of the Internet in China. Emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things, virtual reality, smart wearables, drones, service robots, and intelligent networked cars accelerate commercialization. The close combination of Internet and intelligent manufacturing has become the leading mode for the development of Industry 4.0 and smart industry. Traditional manufacturing fields are focusing on creating intelligent factories and interconnected factories, developing intelligent manufacturing equipment, developing intelligent terminal products, encouraging artificial intelligence hardware innovation, and promoting digital and intelligent upgrading of consumer electronics products.

    6. Internet and industry are deeply integrated to promote the evolution of new media and communication methods.

    In 2015, the pace of traditional media in building new media and promoting media integration was greatly accelerated. A "central kitchen" and a "super editorial department" were set up to carry out process reengineering and institutional reorganization, build a media-integrated cloud platform, open up PCs and mobile terminals, and distribute information around users on demand. Drone news, data news and robot news began to appear. Traditional media in many places launched a new version of the news client, and the People’s Daily client was launched in the third phase. Boundless, Southern Plus, Nine Schools, Cover, Meeting Point, Looking at Chutian and Frontier appeared one after another, and the mobile internet field became the main battlefield for media integration and development. In the future, the development of new technologies such as 4G and 5G mobile communication technology, big data, Internet of Things and wearable smart devices will have a far-reaching impact on the transformation of the media industry. Different channels and forms of media information will be integrated into the digital platform. Internet has eliminated the boundary between media and non-media platforms, and new media groups and modern communication systems with three-dimensional diversity and integrated development are taking shape and developing.

    (C) the level of social management

    1. The construction of the rule of law in cyberspace has been comprehensively promoted, providing a solid guarantee for the network power. 

    Cyberspace, like the real society, should not only advocate freedom, but also maintain order. Cyberspace is not an "extra-legal place", which has become a social consensus. Promulgating network security laws and regulations and a series of guiding opinions on industry development, strengthening the governance of cyberspace and cracking down on illegal crimes are the proper meaning of cyberspace governance and the necessary guarantee for building a network power.

    Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China’s cyberspace legal system has taken shape, covering many aspects, such as cybersecurity legislation, Internet infrastructure and basic resources legislation, Internet service legislation, e-government legislation, e-commerce legislation and Internet criminal legislation. In July 2015, the "Cyber Security Law" (draft) was open to the public for comments. The Ninth Amendment to the Criminal Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC), which was implemented in November, strengthened the protection of citizens’ personal information and added provisions on the crime of fabricating and disseminating false information. The Telecommunications Law and the Electronic Commerce Law are being drafted. In addition, the promulgation of normative documents and opinions such as Several Opinions on Strengthening the Service and Supervision of Market Subjects by Using Big Data, Action Plan for Promoting the Development of Big Data and Opinions on Strengthening the Supervision of Online Markets has become a supplement to cyberspace regulations.

    2. Internet thinking promotes the transformation of government functions and innovates social management.

    The development of the Internet should benefit people’s lives and be implemented by the transformation of government functions. In May, the State Council issued the Work Plan for Promoting the Combination of Decentralization, Administration and Transformation of Government Functions in 2015, pointing out that in promoting the innovation of supervision methods and optimizing government services, we should actively use information technology such as big data, cloud computing and Internet of Things to explore a new model of "internet plus supervision". In July, the State Council issued the Guiding Opinions on Actively Promoting the "internet plus" Action, clearly requiring "to build an integrated online public service system for the public and a new model of networked social management service with public participation". The Internet is deeply integrated with the government public service system, which simplifies the public service process with Internet thinking, promotes the equalization of resources, and greatly improves the service level and efficiency of the government. Government websites, Weibo, WeChat and government clients are becoming platforms for providing more convenient, better, all-round and all-weather public services.

    At the same time, communications, news, radio and television, finance, retail, transportation and other industries have ushered in great changes in the Internet age. In particular, the transformation of traditional industries inspired by the integration of Internet thinking and sharing economy has brought great challenges to government management. On November 23rd, the State Council issued the Guiding Opinions on Giving Full Play to the Leading Role of New Consumption and Accelerating the Cultivation of New Supply and New Motive Force, proposing to adjust and improve the supporting system conducive to the growth of sharing economic model. Making full use of various channels such as trade associations, enterprises and social organizations to build a new governance model with extensive social participation has become a new idea for innovative social management.

    Prospect of Internet Development in China in 2016

    It should be noted that the development of things is always one after another and affects each other. In 2016, the influence of established Internet-related development plans, policies and regulations will gradually emerge, and new technologies, formats and models of the Internet will continue to develop. The signs and trends that have already appeared in the Internet market will become clearer. In 2016, China’s Internet development may have the following trends that deserve attention:

    1. The Internet extends to the "last mile" and is increasingly becoming the infrastructure for economic and social development.

    At present, there are nearly 700 million netizens in China, and the number of fixed broadband access ports reaches 407 million, covering all cities, towns and 93.5% administrative villages in China. With the implementation of the "Broadband China" strategy, it is expected to open up the "last mile" of network infrastructure, reduce the gap of Internet development level between the east and the west and between urban and rural areas, further improve the performance of China’s Internet, reduce network charges, make the achievements of Internet development benefit 1.3 billion people in China, and make the Internet truly become the infrastructure of China’s economic and social development, just like air, land, water and electricity. The information transmission, material exchange, management and even people’s way of thinking in society generally rely on the Internet, and the information society is getting closer and closer to us.

    2. "internet plus" connects 360 lines, and the intelligent upgrade is accelerated.

    Internet technology represented by big data and the Internet of Things is rapidly permeating the whole industry, and the era of wisdom is quietly coming. The development of Internet will promote the intelligent level of products, equipment, production, management and services in manufacturing industry, and further realize product personalization, customization and batch production, process virtualization, factory intelligence and logistics intelligence. The combination of Internet and traditional industries, on the basis of vertical and refined development, will further carry out intelligent upgrading and transformation, and may achieve breakthrough expansion in the fields of car networking, smart home, wearable devices and machine automation. The supervision and service of government departments will also be more "timely, accurate, efficient and intelligent".

    3. Network culture has become a new hot spot for investment, and industrial development promotes cultural prosperity.

    In 2015, innovations in cultural concepts, contents, formats and communication channels were more reflected on the Internet. Unconsciously, a group of self-media whose mission is to spread the knowledge of Chinese studies and promote traditional culture have been frequently concerned, attracting a large number of fans; The box office of Chinese movies exceeded 40 billion yuan for the first time, and there have been many successful cases of marketing and publicity in third-and fourth-tier cities through internet channels. Some people say that "small town youth" determines the increase of Chinese movie box office; The "internet plus Culture+Finance" model is highly praised for its combination of investment and financial management, art collection and cultural communication. More and more foreign public get the image perception of China through social networks … The increasingly rich material will inevitably lead to higher spiritual pursuit, and internet plus culture will surely become a hot spot for investment. Some Internet companies have begun to set foot in media, film and television and other cultural industries.

    The consumption of Internet cultural products will become a huge market. It will become a trend to promote the effective integration of cultural industry content and channels through the Internet, promote the combination of cultural creativity with the real economy and financial capital, and realize the extension and appreciation of the value of the whole industrial chain. Taking the network as a platform to promote the sharing of cultural achievements and taking culture as a carrier to promote the construction of a community of destiny in cyberspace will become the consensus of cultural inheritance and cultural innovation in the Internet age.

    4. Technological innovation, industrial development and space governance to jointly promote the construction of a network power.

    There is still a big gap between China and developed countries in terms of infrastructure, technology, industry, network security and network discourse right. Only by breaking the weakness of core technologies such as PC and mobile phone operating system and realizing the leap from consumer Internet to internet plus industry can we promote the development of network economy and network culture and make due contributions to the prosperity of China’s economy and culture.

    At the same time, ensuring network security, promoting orderly development and building an Internet governance system will be the theme of China Internet in the future. The concept of interconnection, sharing and co-governance, which originated in China, will spread more widely around the world. More and more Internet enterprises in China will go to the world and drive the development of the Internet all over the world through their own development. China will play a more active role in the development and governance of the Internet, and the pace of becoming a network power will become more and more solid.
