Li Shufu, founder and Chairman of Chinese auto company Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, recently bought a 9.7-percent stake in automotive manufacturer Daimler, becoming the famous German company’s largest single shareholder.
According to Li, Geely Group expects cooperation with Daimler on digitalization, online services and new energy cars in the future.
This is not Geely’s first involvement in an overseas acquisition. The company purchased Volvo Cars from Ford Motor Company in 2010 for $1.8 billion and became the largest shareholder of the commercial vehicle manufacturer Volvo Trucks at the end of 2017.
Born in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province in 1963, Li founded Geely in 1986 and started making cars in 1997. Geely has pursued independent innovation and made great strides in the production of new energy cars. Geely Automobile, a subsidiary of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, sold 1.24 million cars in 2017, up 63 percent year on year, to become one of China’s fastest-growing brands.
Regulating Online Medication
Legal Daily March 2
The illegal sale of prescription medicines online has become increasingly prevalent in China. Prescription medicine is being sold on various online platforms such as O2O websites, mobile apps and even social networks such as WeChat and Weibo.
However, according to regulations, prescription medicine can only be bought and used with the prescription of a licensed doctor or assistant. A notice on strengthening supervision of the online sale of medicine published by the China Food and Drug Administration in 2013 stipulated that only over-the-counter medicine is allowed to be sold via online platforms. The adver- tisement or sale of prescription medicine on these platforms is forbidden.
Improper use of prescription medicine can cause serious harm to the body and even endanger people’s lives. Therefore the illegal sale of prescription medicines online poses a severe health risk. Weak supervision has contributed to the proliferation of the practice, with food and drug authorities unable to deal with the vast number of drugselling online platforms.
Besides strengthening supervision, the government may allow online platforms to establish a complete medical system involving writing prescriptions and the use of medical insurance. Internet plus medical care should be properly guided to solve the difficulties associated with seeing a doctor in China rather than disrupting the order of the medical sector. Online platforms can only provide convenience for people by developing in a healthy, orderly and legal fashion. Historic Artifacts Come to Life
Oriental Outlook March 1
Television shows focusing on historic artifacts including Every Treasure Tells a Story and National Treasure recently aired on China Central Television have gone viral in China.
National Treasure combines stage drama with a documentary style to tell the stories behind China’s artifacts. Historic relics which once laid dormant in museums have come alive once more.
Through new forms of cooperation between China’s museums and television stations, a new way of presenting historic treasures has been created, promoting the preservation and inheritance of cultural relics and traditional culture.
These shows have ignited the public’s interest in cultural relics and motivated them to go to history museums and read historical books. They exemplify Chinese museums’ shift from the protection, collection and research of artifacts to presenting national treasures and educating the public.
The idea of bringing ancient artifacts to life was proposed by President Xi Jinping in a speech delivered at the UNESCO Headquarters in Paris in March 2014 and has since been made a reality.
In addition to television shows, muse-ums are also cooperating with enterprises to develop creative cultural products based on historical artifacts.
To further promote the full utilization of cultural artifacts, all sectors of society including the government, museums and enterprises should work together. The government has already come up with a series of policies in recent years to promote the development of creative cultural products and the proper utilization of cultural relics.
Those working at museums should not only research artifacts but also communicate the stories behind them to the public.
Documenting China’s Transformation
Nanfang Daily March 2
The documentary film Amazing China, which premiered on March 2, has been well received by audiences.
The documentary, which derives its name from an Internet meme encapsulating Internet users’ wonder at China’s progress, showcases the country’s achievements over the past fi ve years in areas such as infrastructure, economic growth, medical care and poverty alleviation. Key infrastructure projects such as China’s fi rst domestically-produced large passenger plane the C919, the national high-speed railway network, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the world’s largest single-dish telescope FAST are all presented in the fi lm. The documentary uses vivid pictures, powerful language and impressive statistics to show China’s transfor- mation, kindling Chinese people’s confidence and national pride. In addition to chronicling the major national achievements, the fi lm also tells the stories of ordinary people to illustrate universal efforts toward building a moderately prosperous society. One such story focuses on a woman who goes to the Tibet Autonomous Region to carry out poverty alleviation work as the secretary of a village Communist Party of China branch. These stories have struck a chord with audiences and strengthened their sense of national identity.
The film reveals the intimate relationship between the country and its people; people’s happiness is inseparable from the country’s prosperity and in turn the country’s dreams cannot be realized without the participation and efforts of the people. The fi lm is not only about an amazing China but also the amazing Chinese people who have created the county’s success.
China’s achievements rely on the hard work of its people and therefore it requires the sustained efforts of the Chinese people to make the country even greater in the new era.
