　　Sino-French Joint Statement on the Situation in the Middle East

　　At the invitation of President Emmanuel Macron of the French Republic, the Supreme Leader of President People’s Republic of China (PRC) paid a state visit to France from May 5 to 7, 2024. The two heads of state exchanged in-depth views on the situation in the Middle East:

　　1. As permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, China and France are committed to seeking constructive solutions based on international law and responding to challenges and threats to international security and stability.

　　2. China and France condemn all violations of international humanitarian law, including all acts of terrorist violence and indiscriminate attacks against civilians. The two countries reaffirmed the absolute necessity of protecting civilians in Gaza based on international humanitarian law. The two heads of state oppose Israel’s attack on Rafah, which will lead to a larger-scale humanitarian disaster, and also oppose the forced relocation of Palestinian civilians.

　　3. The two heads of state stressed that the urgent task is to immediately achieve a sustainable ceasefire and ensure the provision of large-scale humanitarian assistance and the protection of civilians in the Gaza Strip; Call for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages, ensure humanitarian access, address their medical and other humanitarian needs, and abide by international law for all detainees; Call for the immediate and effective implementation of relevant UN resolutions, especially UN Security Council resolutions 2712, 2720 and 2728. This is the only credible way to guarantee peace and security for all, and to ensure that both Palestinians and Israelis will not suffer from the terrible experience since the attack on October 7, 2023.

　　4. The two heads of state called for the effective opening of all necessary passages and border crossings, so as to provide rapid, safe, sustainable and unimpeded humanitarian assistance throughout Gaza. The two heads of state emphasized the importance of strengthening coordination of international humanitarian efforts.

　　5. The two heads of state called on all parties to avoid taking unilateral measures on the ground that may aggravate tensions, and condemned Israel’s policy of building settlements in violation of international law, which will pose a major obstacle to lasting peace and the possibility of establishing a viable and territorially coherent Palestinian state in the future. The two heads of state reiterated that the future governance of Gaza cannot be divorced from the comprehensive political settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict based on the "two-state solution".

　　6. The two heads of state called for the resumption of the political process in a decisive and irreversible way, the concrete implementation of the "two-state plan", ensuring the peaceful and safe coexistence of Israel and Palestine as neighbors, and establishing a viable, independent and sovereign Palestinian state on the basis of the 1967 borders with Jerusalem as its capital. The two heads of state reaffirmed their commitment to this plan, which is the only way to respond to the reasonable expectations of the Palestinian and Israeli people for lasting peace and security.

　　7. The two heads of state also expressed deep concern about the risk of escalation of the regional situation and called for avoiding regional turmoil. China and France are working with their partners to push the situation down and call on all parties to exercise restraint.

　　8. China and France reaffirmed their commitment to promoting a political and diplomatic solution to the Iranian nuclear issue. The Comprehensive Iranian Nuclear Agreement (JCPOA) reached in 2015 is an important achievement of multilateral diplomacy. Concerned about the risk of escalating the situation, the two countries reiterated the importance of cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, promoting diplomatic efforts, and committed themselves to maintaining the international nuclear non-proliferation system and promoting peace and stability in the Middle East.

　　10. The two heads of state called for observing the Olympic Truce during the 2024 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Olympic Truce calls on all parties to stop hostilities throughout the Olympic Games. With the spread of conflicts and the intensification of tensions, the truce is an opportunity to commit to a lasting settlement of conflicts with full respect for international law.

　　China Meteorological News reporter Cui Guohui

　　From June 24 to 25, Beijing issued high-temperature warning continuously, Tianjin upgraded the yellow warning signal of high temperature to orange, and some cities in northern Shandong, eastern Hebei and southern Hebei also ushered in a big "roast". The citizens have said that how to say that it is hot on this day is simply a "teppanyaki" without a word!

　　Anyway, how "baked" is this summer? Why is it hotter in the north than in the south recently? How can the public avoid "baking"? This issue of "Chat" will talk to you.

　　what is actually happening

　　The high temperature of 35℃ to 37℃ in Huanghuai, North China locally exceeded 38℃

　　In China, it is generally called high temperature when the daily maximum temperature reaches or exceeds 35℃, and the high temperature weather process for several days (more than 3 days) is called high temperature heat wave (or called high temperature heat wave).

　　According to the monitoring data of the Central Meteorological Observatory, the high temperature areas in China were mainly concentrated in Beijing, Tianjin, eastern and southern Hebei, northern Shandong, northern Henan, eastern Inner Mongolia, western Jilin, western Liaoning and other places on June 24, and the scope was not too large. The highest temperature in the above areas is generally between 35℃ and 37℃. Among them, high temperature weather of 38℃ to 39℃ appeared in central and southern Tianjin and central Hebei. The highest temperature is 38.9℃, which appears at Tianjin Urban Climate Monitoring Station.

　　Due to the rapid rise in temperature, people obviously feel the heat in summer. But compared with the same period in history, there is still a big gap. In the same period of history, the highest temperature extremes in the above areas all exceeded 40℃, basically ranging from 41℃ to 42℃.

　　cause

　　Under the control of anticyclonic circulation, the weather is fine and the radiation warming is obvious

　　Ma Xuekuan, chief forecaster of the Central Meteorological Observatory, said that the main reason for the high temperature process in North China and Huanghuai areas was radiation warming.

　　Over the past few days, North China has been controlled by anticyclonic circulation, mainly sunny weather, and the short-wave radiation of the sun has obviously warmed up. In addition, there are warm ridges in the upper air in North China and Huanghuai areas, accompanied by a certain degree of downward flow.

　　Moreover, after a whole winter, the surface condition of the underlying surface in the north is not as humid as that in the south, and the dry environment on the surface is conducive to the temperature rise in a short time.

　　It stands to reason that the earth’s heat comes from the sun, and the closer it is to the sun, the higher the temperature should be. But why is there more high temperature in the north than in the south recently?

　　Ma Xuekuan said that in fact, the high temperature in North China and Huanghuai sometimes began in May. There is more precipitation in the south this season, and the subtropical high has not yet moved north, and the intersection of cold and warm air is mainly in the south. After the onset of the monsoon, the water vapor on the edge of the subtropical high came up, which just affected the southern region. There are many rainfall processes and clouds in the southern region, so it is not easy to have high temperature weather. In the north, however, sunny weather predominates, with less precipitation and weaker cold air. During the intermission of cold air activities, there will be more sunny and hot weather.

　　trend

　　The high temperature continued until around the 28th, concentrated in the south-central part of North China to the northern part of Huanghuai.

　　The Central Meteorological Observatory predicts that this high-temperature weather process will last until around the 28th, mainly concentrated in the central and southern parts of North China to the northern part of Huanghuai, that is, western Shandong, northern Henan, central and southern Hebei and Beijing-Tianjin areas. The high-temperature areas are not fixed every day, and the intensity is mostly at 35℃ to 38℃.

　　Due to the frequent occurrence of high temperature and heat wave weather in recent years, the disasters caused by high temperature are becoming more and more serious. China’s meteorological department has formulated high temperature warning signals, which are divided into three levels: yellow, orange and red. High temperature yellow warning signal generally means that the maximum daily temperature will be above 35℃ for three consecutive days; High temperature orange warning signal generally means that the maximum temperature will rise above 37℃ within 24 hours; High temperature red warning signal generally means that the maximum temperature will rise above 40℃ within 24 hours.

　　High temperature has a certain impact on people’s daily life and health and all sectors of the national economy. High temperature and heat wave make people feel uncomfortable, work efficiency is low, and the incidence of heatstroke, intestinal diseases and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases increases; The demand for water and electricity for heatstroke prevention and cooling has soared, resulting in tight water and electricity supply and frequent failures. High temperature intensifies soil water evaporation and crop transpiration. When high temperature and little rain occur at the same time, it causes serious soil moisture loss, accelerates the development of drought and has a great impact on agricultural production. In addition, tourism, transportation, construction and other industries will also be affected to varying degrees.

Apple’s spring conference in 2024 is approaching. Just as everyone is still guessing which new products will appear at this conference, Apple decided to play some new tricks this year and directly updated the MacBook Air without any notice.

This morning, Apple CEO Tim Cook promoted two new products in his personal Weibo. Cook said that the new 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air are equipped with powerful M3 chips, and their performance is better than before! Two perfect sizes, incredibly light and portable design, and all-day battery life.

Source: Weibo

Considering that the spring conference is just around the corner, Apple is eager to release new products, which means that Apple, which is slow in AI hardware, is in a hurry. So, how did Apple’s first answer about AI hardware perform?

01

MacBook Air finally ate M3 chip.

Yes, that’s right. The biggest change of the new MacBook Air is that it uses the M3 chip developed by Apple. This chip was a heavy product released by Apple at the press conference last fall, and it was first installed on iMac and MacBook Pro. After a lapse of five months, MacBook Air finally used this chip.

M3 MacBook Air is equipped with 8-core CPU and up to 10-core graphics processor, which supports up to 24GB unified memory and 2TB solid-state storage. Thanks to M3 chip, the new MacBook Air will support dynamic cache function, which can dynamically allocate appropriate cache for different tasks, improve the efficiency of GPU use, and support grid shading rendering and hardware-level ray tracing acceleration technology to achieve stronger graphics rendering effect in games, office and other scenes.

This has greatly improved the productivity of MacBook Air. Although it is slightly inferior to the MacBook Pro with M3 Pro and M3 Max, it is infinitely close to the M3 version of MacBook Pro. This makes the positioning of MacBook Air more three-dimensional, not only for light office scenes, but also for some professional scenes.

In order to let people have a more intuitive feeling about the performance of M3 MacBook Air, the official directly moved M1 MacBook Air as a reference. Compared with M1 MacBook Air, M3 MacBook Air’s performance is improved by about 1.6 times, and its graphics processing speed is up to 5.8 times.

At the same time of performance improvement, the energy consumption control of MacBook Air has also been upgraded accordingly, and the battery life of up to 18 hours is enough to support users’ long-term work needs.

02

stay true to our original aspiration

It’s still the familiar 8GB.

The reason why Xiao Lei focuses on the performance part is because the new MacBook Air is mainly upgraded with M3 chip, and its appearance, screen, interface and weight are the same as before.

Add support for Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3 technology and external display. We just need to know about these functions, because at best, it can only be regarded as Apple’s self-breakthrough, and users have become accustomed to competing products at the same price in the market.

Source: Apple

In terms of price, the new MacBook Air has already landed in the Bank of China store, and will be ordered at 9: 00 am on March 6 and officially released on March 8.

The price of the new 13-inch MacBook Air top (8-core CPU/10-core GPU/16-core NPU/24GB+2TB) is 17,999 yuan, and the prices of other versions are as follows:

8-core CPU/8-core GPU/8GB+256GB, 8999 yuan.

8-core CPU/10-core GPU/8GB+512GB, 10,499 yuan.

8-core CPU/10-core GPU/16GB+512GB, 11999 yuan.

The price of the new 15-inch MacBook Air top (8-core CPU/10-core GPU/16-core NPU/24GB+2TB) is 19,499 yuan, and the prices of other versions are as follows:

8-core CPU/10-core GPU/8GB+256GB, RMB 10,499.

8-core CPU/10-core GPU/8GB+512GB, 11,999 yuan.

8-core CPU/10-core GPU/16GB+512GB, 13499 yuan.

If you have a greater demand for equipment storage space, brother Guo said that adding money can solve it. You need to add 1,500 yuan for each additional 8GB of memory, 1,500 yuan for each additional 256GB of hard disk, 70W charger and 150 yuan.

In today’s era when mobile phone and computer manufacturers are crazy about volume storage, Apple still maintains its own rhythm. The entry-level Air of 8999 yuan still provides 8GB+256GB configuration, which shows that the previous "golden memory" storm has no impact on Apple. It’s not that 8GB+256GB will have a great impact on the performance of MacBook Air, but in front of Youshang’s large memory, Apple users will have some bad feelings more or less.

03

So this is the answer sheet of Apple AI PC?

The improvement in the performance of the MacBook Air is certainly surprising. The most striking thing, however, is that Apple called the new MacBook Air "the best AI consumer notebook" in the official website publicity-this is the first time that Apple officially mentioned the concept of AI notebook, and it is also the first time that Apple has made a statement to follow the trend of AI hardware.

Prior to this, Apple completely abandoned the car-building project and turned to overweight AI, which made the outside world look forward to Apple’s actions on AI mobile phones and AI hardware.

2024 is the first year of AI PC, and head computer manufacturers including Lenovo, Asus and Hewlett-Packard have launched their own AI PC products. The new MacBook Air is the first AI PC launched by Apple after adding AI. But I prefer to call it AI MacBook than AI PC.

Source: Apple

AI MacBook is a brand-new concept introduced by Apple based on M3 chip which integrates 16-core neural network engine, central processing unit and graphics processor. MacOS uses the powerful performance of M3 chip to provide users with real-time voice-to-text translation, text prediction, visual understanding, auxiliary functions and other functions.

In addition, the AI MacBook has a rich AI application ecosystem, which helps to support AI-enabled applications and help users better use these applications. For example, using Pixelmator Pro to automatically enhance photos, using "AI Math Assistant" in Goodnotes 6 to check homework, or removing background noise in videos through CapCut. ……

Apple official said that MacBook Air supports cloud-based solutions and runs optimized AI models locally, such as Large Language Model (LLM) and Image Generation Diffusion Model, so that users can better play the powerful productivity and creativity of AI.

Previously, Mac users imitated Chat with RTX and launched a framework of exclusive Mac: Chat with MLX. Let Apple computer run local big model, and complete seven kinds of open source big models, such as local document summary and YouTube video analysis. Although the effect is achieved, the complicated setting process makes ordinary users flinch. Nowadays, the official support for importing AI models will greatly reduce the cost for users to use AI functions.

As the first experience of Apple’s AI PC, the AI MacBook is remarkable in both the number of AI functions and the attitude towards AI applications. However, at present, Apple has only opened the AI interface, and there is still no official big model of its own, which is slightly inferior to the progress of other manufacturers.

In addition, Microsoft has just launched the Copilot Pro subscription service to provide users with AI functions. This service clearly puts forward new requirements for PC computing power and memory: the new Windows AI PC will need at least 40 TOPS computing power and 16GB memory to meet the threshold of AI PC. According to this standard, the MacBook Air is not an AI PC, at least the 8GB version is not counted.

Of course, Apple has a famous saying that "Apple’s 8GB is equivalent to other 16GB", so it can’t be refuted that the new MacBook Air meets the "16GB" memory of AI PC.

Write it at the end

For consumers, with the blessing of Apple M3 chip, the performance of the new MacBook Air has become even better while keeping the body small. It will also become one of the best solutions in the current computer market with both daily office and light professional productivity.

For Apple, the release of the new MacBook Air is not only an iteration at the hardware level, but more importantly, the first step of combining AI with hardware. Apple’s attitude shows that AI hardware is not a gimmick, but a battleground for military strategists.

If the new MacBook Air is a test of Apple’s AI field, then the next WWDC developer conference may be the key work of Apple’s AI. After all, AI hardware is inseparable from software and hardware, systems and application ecology, and the cloud and terminals support each other. At the same time as the terminal is AI, the software system is as important as the AI of application ecology. At present, IOS18′ s update on generative AI has attracted much attention. It will be the base of Apple’s AI hardware ecology, which will directly affect Apple’s most profitable iPhone business, and will also determine whether Apple can continue its head position in the era of smart phones in the AI ​ ​ era.

Then, whether Apple’s new MacBook Air can be "8GB as 16GB" or not is a qualified AI PC, and Lei Technology will provide an evaluation as soon as possible. Regarding the dynamics of Apple’s AI hardware and all AI hardware, please pay attention to Lei Technology, which focuses on AI "hard" technology.

palm oilAs an important vegetable oil, it plays an important role in the global food and non-food industries. It comes from the fruit of oil palm trees and is mainly produced in Southeast Asia, such as Malaysia and Indonesia. The climatic conditions in these areas are very suitable for the growth of oil palm trees.

The production process of palm oil begins with the harvest of oil palm fruit. After a series of treatments, including cooking, squeezing and refining, the fruit finally gets palm oil. Because of its high stability and low cost, this oil is widely used in food processing, such as baked goods, instant noodles and chocolate. In addition, palm oil is also used to produce non-food products such as biodiesel and cosmetics.

Palm oil futures is a popular commodity futures contract in the futures market. Investors can buy and sell palm oil futures contracts through exchanges to hedge the risk of physical palm oil price fluctuations or speculate. The price of palm oil futures is influenced by many factors, including the relationship between supply and demand, climate change, policies and regulations, and the global economic situation.

The following are some key factors that affect palm oil futures prices:

When investors participate in palm oil futures trading, they need to pay close attention to the changes of these factors and make wise investment decisions by combining technical analysis and fundamental analysis. In addition, understanding the historical price trend and current market dynamics of palm oil market is also very important for forecasting the future price trend.

In a word, palm oil, as a multi-purpose vegetable oil, plays an important role in the global market. The active trading in its futures market provides investors with rich investment opportunities, but also brings corresponding risks. Therefore, it is very important for any investor who intends to participate in palm oil futures trading to deeply understand the characteristics and market dynamics of palm oil.

1905 movie network news The first realistic film directed and performed by Li Yang, director of Berlin Silver Bear Award, and co-starring Du Hanmeng, Yu Yue and Hu Ming, focusing on the real plight of urban vagrants/beggars blind children, "has been released nationwide. On the day of the release, director Li Yang and Du Xin, who plays Jingjing, a wandering and blind girl, dreamed of a face-to-face exchange between the cinema and the audience, telling the audience about an independent filmmaker’s creative achievements and mental journey in the past 15 years.

Wang Baoqiang appeared in the star public welfare trailer of Blind Road before, and supported his mentor Li Yang. This time, he was surprised to appear on the platform of Li Yang. He bowed deeply and expressed his gratitude to Director Li Yang. While calling for the film, he did not forget to appeal to everyone to recommend the film to relatives and friends. From the release date of February 2nd, Blind Road will officially open roadshows in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Xi ‘an.

"Sixteen years ago, I was like a street child in The Blind Road. I drifted north for three years and never came home. Fortunately, Director Li Yang gave me a chance. It is a great pleasure that Blind Tao finally meets the audience. " When the host asked director Li Yang why he chose Wang Baoqiang at that time, director Li Yang said that because of his own temperament, his life experience touched me very much, and more importantly, he worked very hard.

As one of the screenwriters of "Taking Tiger Mountain Outward", director Li Yang proved to the audience that he has the ability to make commercial films. After Blind Tao, director Li Yang will shoot commercial films. Wang Baoqiang said that the two will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future, and he is very much looking forward to appearing in the film directed by Li Yang again. At the scene, he even promised to director Li Yang, "As long as the role is good, I am willing to play for zero pay." Thunderous applause rang out at the scene.

Blind Tao, as a work returned by director Li Yang after ten years’ absence from the domestic big screen, tells the story of the adventure and redemption of a down-and-out rock uncle and a wandering blind girl. Director Li Yang discussed the film with the audience on the spot. "The story of the film is relatively simple, that is, redemption and self-redemption. Jingjing, played by Du Hanmeng, was sold by her biological mother and sexually assaulted by her stepfather. After she met Zhao Liang, Zhao Liang always helped Jingjing out of embarrassment for her daughter. In fact, this is a very warm story. "

Li Yang expressed the hope that the film will be seen by more and more people and arouse discussion, so as to pay attention to and change the fate of homeless/begging blind children.

After the road show in Beijing, Li Yang and Zhu Chuang will rush to the next stop in Shanghai. In the next four days, they will meet in cinemas in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Xi ‘an. After filming the "Blind Trilogy" in 16 years, Li Yang said that he could not do without the encouragement from his relatives and friends and the support from the audience. "Blind Road has no money for publicity, and there are very few films. Wang Baoqiang, Bai Yansong, Lu Yu, Cui Yongyuan, Cui Jian, Dou Wen Tao, Ren Zhong, Jiang Xiaohan, You Jingru and others selflessly promoted the film, not because of our relationship. They also hope that domestic films will be made in addition to our own.

It is reported that the film "Blind Road" is currently being shown in the country.

1905 movie network news Comedy movies are being shown. Up to now, the box office has exceeded 390 million, ranking first in the box office for three consecutive days, and the total number of people watching movies has exceeded 9.79 million. The film recently released a special video of "Post-holiday Syndrome of Migrant Workers". From the perspective of Jia Youwei, the video vividly shows the state of contemporary migrant workers going to work on the first day after the holiday.

"thelma and louise Money" combines comedy with realistic elements, allowing the audience to "enter the play in one second". The comedy element in the film is not only to convey happiness, but also to show the characters and inner feelings of Jia Youwei and other characters in a three-dimensional way. Some viewers praised "thelma and louise Money" as an emotional experience that people can’t help but feel.

And the actors’ life-style performance makes the film feel more real. "Compared with those distant stories of getting rich, this kind of life is obviously closer to our daily life." As Jia Bing said: "When the real emotions are in place, there is no need to perform at all."

　　CCTV News: TodayAt the press conference (11th), a reporter asked, "The Interim Measures for Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Province Residents to Participate in Social Insurance in the Mainland (Mainland)" was officially promulgated. Participating in social insurance in the Mainland is a matter of immediate and practical interest to Taiwan Province compatriots. What tangible benefits will Taiwan compatriots get from it? In this regard, Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, introduced that the social insurance system is a kind of social welfare treatment provided by the state. The "Interim Measures" are very comprehensive in considering the applicable personnel of Taiwan compatriots and have achieved full coverage for Taiwan compatriots insured in the mainland.

　　Zhu Fenglian said that the promulgation of the "Interim Measures" is an institutional arrangement to gradually provide equal treatment for Taiwan Province compatriots in the mainland, which was put forward by the 19th National Congress, and it is also a concrete measure to implement the important proposition of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on promoting cross-strait social security and sharing of public resources. It means that Taiwan compatriots who work, live and study in the mainland can enjoy the relevant welfare system provided by the state like mainland residents.

　　Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office:The "Interim Measures" are very comprehensive in considering the applicable personnel of Taiwan compatriots, and have achieved full coverage for Taiwan compatriots insured in the mainland. It is not only applicable to employed Taiwan compatriots in various forms such as unit employment, flexible employment and self-employment, but also applicable to unemployed Taiwan compatriots living in the mainland and Taiwan Province students studying in mainland universities. For Taiwan compatriots who participate in the basic old-age insurance for urban and rural residents and the basic medical insurance for urban and rural residents in the mainland, the mainland governments at all levels will give corresponding financial subsidies according to regulations to ensure the social security level of the insured Taiwan compatriots.

　　Zhu Fenglian said that the Interim Measures made special arrangements for Taiwan compatriots to participate in social security in the mainland, taking into account the actual needs of reducing the pressure on Taiwan compatriots to pay fees and returning to Taiwan to work and study. If Taiwan compatriots do not choose dual insurance in mainland China and Taiwan Province, they can not participate in old-age insurance and unemployment insurance in mainland China on the basis of certificates issued by relevant authorized institutions, thus effectively solving the problem of dual insurance that Taiwan compatriots are concerned about. If Taiwan compatriots leave the mainland before reaching the prescribed pension conditions, they can choose to keep their accounts and continue to pay fees when they come to the mainland for employment or residence again. They can also choose to apply in writing to terminate the social security relationship and withdraw the amount stored in the social security personal account at one time.

　　Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office:The Interim Measures clearly stipulates that Taiwan Province compatriots have the right to participate in five social insurances, of which maternity insurance and work-related injury insurance are paid by employers in the mainland, and there is no need for individual insured Taiwan compatriots to pay any fees, which effectively enhances the scope and intensity of social security for Taiwan compatriots to participate in insurance in the mainland.

This means that insurance institutions can realize the online and digital operation of the whole process of sales, operation and service on Ant Insurance, greatly improving operational efficiency and service experience.

In the insurance industry, PICC Health has always been a pioneer in digital management. Since 2018, it has been in contact with the Internet and launched the first "good medical insurance and long-term medical care" in China to guarantee 6-year renewal, which quickly became an explosion. In the face of the rapid influx of Internet users, PICC has realized digital operation healthily and quickly, and online the whole process of policy processing and claims processing.

Through scientific and technological capabilities, more than 90% of cases can be settled within 2 days, and digital operations are optimized in service experience.

Digital transformation: keeping people healthy and entering a bumper harvest period

Among the insurance companies undergoing digital transformation, PICC Health has to be mentioned, and its recently released financial report also shows that the company’s digital transformation has begun to show results.

The financial report of PICC Health in the first half of 2022 showed that the company’s operating performance reached a record high, achieving a net profit of 742 million yuan, an increase of 186.5% year-on-year; The original insurance premium income was 30.383 billion yuan, an increase of 18.8% year-on-year, and the premium scale ranked first in professional health insurance.

It is particularly noteworthy that PICC Health’s Internet business accounts for 30% of the total, and it has served more than 60 million customers nationwide, which reflects PICC Health’s leading position in digitalization based on Internet channels.

As a professional health insurance company under the People’s Insurance Company of China, People’s Insurance Company of China and Ant Insurance Co., Ltd. have developed Internet inclusive products with relatively high security and relatively appropriate prices, and at the same time realized the combination of long and short insurance, covering medical, serious illness, accidents and other insurance products. At the same time, through the advantages of Ant Insurance Platform, the service scope has been extended further and further.

In addition to products, another advantage brought by ant insurance is channels. It can be seen from the data of PICC that 78% of its customers come from third-tier and below cities, which is of great significance to PICC health and to expand the customer base in third-and fourth-tier cities and vast rural areas.

In a short time, the number of insured users reached the order of one million, which became an explosive online celebrity product of their cooperation.

In the early stage of the launch of good medical insurance products, claims are made by offline mailing materials. The service limitation is relatively insufficient, and the biggest appeal of Internet insurance products is to settle claims quickly and not polish them well, which will have an impact on the healthy development in the future.

Since then, PICC Health has set up a special operation center and started to cooperate with Ant Insurance to solve the user’s claim experience. In recent years, PICC Health has used the "claims brain" developed by Ant Insurance to intelligently identify 107 kinds of medical and claims vouchers through AI smart camera identification, OCR identification, bill direct connection, risk control entry and other technologies, with an identification accuracy rate of over 95%, helping insurance institutions to improve their claims efficiency by over 70%, and at the same time improving the convenience and limitation of claims for users.

At present, the online claims rate of good medical insurance has accounted for 98% of the total claims.

In the final analysis, for people’s health, the next stage of digitalization will be digital intelligence with "service" as the core.

Digital management of insurance industry enters the fast lane

Digitalization has been engraved into the genes of insurance companies, and it is also true for people’s health. In the business philosophy of keeping people healthy, service technology innovation is the key development direction in the future.

In addition, through AI technical capabilities, insurance institutions can provide users with services such as policy management and claims settlement.
