Today's data highlights: Hunan welcomes the heaviest rainfall since the beginning of the flood season; Xinjiang's coal production increases against the trend

Hunan Meteorological Observatory issued a blue rainstorm warning at 6:00 on June 20: from 8:00 on June 20 to 8:00 on June 21, heavy rain will fall in Yueyang, Changde, Zhangjiajie and other places. Since June 16, Hunan has experienced the heaviest rainfall since the beginning of the flood season, and some areas have been severely affected.

According to the latest release from the Ministry of Water Resources, affected by rainfall and upstream water, the peak water level at the Guilin Hydrological Station, the control station of the upper reaches of the Guijiang River in Guangxi, was 148.88 meters at 0:55 on June 20, exceeding the guaranteed water level by 1.88 meters. The corresponding flow was 6,380 cubic meters per second. Both the water level and flow ranked first since measured data were available in 1958.

The Ministry of Water Resources maintains a Level III emergency response to flood prevention in Guangxi, and two working groups are on the front line of flood prevention in Guangxi to guide local governments in their flood prevention work.

Xinjiang's coal production has increased against the trend. Can it shake Shanxi's position as the "coal boss"?

Although the coal market is declining, Xinjiang's raw coal output still maintains a relatively high growth rate, leading the major coal production areas and forming a contrast with Shanxi, the "coal boss". As an important continuation of my country's coal supply, will Xinjiang become the new "coal boss" in the future?

According to the information released by China Railway Corporation recently, in the first five months of this year, the railway department has completed the export of 35.057 million tons of Xinjiang coal, an increase of 11.593 million tons and 49.4% year-on-year. After the implementation of the new train operation diagram of the national railway on June 15, Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway will add 6 freight trains, further improving the export capacity of Xinjiang coal.

Data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed that in May, the output of industrial raw coal was 383.853 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 0.8%; the cumulative output from January to May was 1857.878 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 3.0%. Against the backdrop of declining national coal production, the four major coal production areas of Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi and Xinjiang, which account for 80% of the country's coal production, are in different situations.

In May, the output of raw coal in Xinjiang and Shaanxi increased by 12.3% and 5.3% year-on-year respectively, while that in Shanxi and Inner Mongolia decreased by -6.9% and -1.2% respectively; from January to May, the cumulative year-on-year output of raw coal in Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi and Xinjiang increased by 2.7%, 1.4% and 6.6% respectively, while the cumulative year-on-year output of raw coal in Shanxi decreased by 15.0%.

As an important driving force for a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, artificial intelligence is providing new impetus for accelerating the development of new quality productivity.

On June 20, the 2024 World Intelligent Industry Expo opened at the National Exhibition and Convention Center. With the theme of "Intelligent Travel Across the World, Enabling a Dynamic Future", the expo focused on presenting the top technology products in the field of global intelligent technology, and set up special exhibition areas for hot areas such as artificial intelligence large models and low-altitude economy.

In his speech, Liu Liehong, director of the National Data Bureau, said that artificial intelligence has become a strategic emerging industry that leads the scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation. It has a "leading goose" effect with strong spillover and driving force, and plays a vital role in the development of the intelligent industry.

Liu Liehong said that as an important direction for the development of the new generation of artificial intelligence technology, big models can efficiently empower thousands of industries. On the one hand, we should accelerate the promotion of big model infrastructure, and combine it with high-quality industry data sets to encourage small and medium-sized enterprises to use big models to cultivate an innovative ecosystem; on the other hand, we should promote the coordinated construction and inclusive and efficient use of general big model infrastructure, guide enterprises to coordinate and avoid blind development.

“We must accelerate the construction of a national integrated computing system and improve the layout of data infrastructure.

The development of artificial intelligence has put forward higher demands for intelligent computing power. The National Data Bureau is coordinating the integrated layout of multi-source heterogeneous computing power such as intelligent computing, general computing, and super computing with the National Development and Reform Commission and other relevant departments, coordinating the integrated coordination of computing power in the east, middle and west, coordinating the integrated application of computing power with data and algorithms, coordinating the integrated integration of computing power and green electricity, and coordinating the integrated promotion of computing power development and security assurance, promoting the construction of a national integrated computing power system with networked dispatching, universal and easy-to-use, green and safe, and supporting the high-quality development of the digital economy with the high-quality development of computing power. "Liu Liehong said.

China is a major producer of coffee machines. From the beginning of this year to now, export orders have soared. In a coffee machine manufacturer in Foshan, Guangdong, ten production lines are in full production. The person in charge of overseas markets said that from January this year to now, orders have been pouring in, and working overtime to catch up with orders has become the norm. According to the latest data provided by Foshan Customs, from January to May this year, the export value of Shunde coffee machines was 1.32 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 26.4%.
