　　CCTV News (Reporter Ren Jia):On the morning of October 28th, the new book "Belt and Road Big Data Report (2016)" was released in Beijing, and Du Ping, executive deputy director of the National Information Center, released the report. Tian Jinchen, head of the comprehensive team of the Office of the Leading Group for Promoting the Construction of the Belt and Road, and director of the Western Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, attended the conference and delivered a speech. This is the first comprehensive annual report in China to comprehensively evaluate the progress and effectiveness of the Belt and Road construction by using big data technology. It is also the first time in the world to evaluate the progress and effectiveness of the Belt and Road construction in countries and regions along the Belt and Road and domestic provinces and cities.

　　The report was directed by the Office of the Leading Group for Promoting the Belt and Road Construction, compiled by the Belt and Road Big Data Center of the National Information Center and published by the Commercial Press. Yizamp Technology Group provided major data and technical support for the report, which is the world’s leading big data and cross-border trade and financial group. The report brings together about 300 billion pieces of data from major international and domestic statistical agencies, news websites, social media, forums and other Internet channels, involving over 5PB of original data, covering 64 countries and regions along the Belt and Road Initiative. From the international and domestic perspectives, the report constructs a comprehensive evaluation system for the development effectiveness of the Belt and Road Initiative, including country cooperation index and provincial and municipal participation index, and discusses the hot topics of the Belt and Road Initiative such as international capacity cooperation, regional cooperation, RMB internationalization and cross-border electronic commerce.

　　International cooperation: Russia ranks first.

　　The "Country Cooperation Index" developed in this report is a series of evaluation indicators and evaluation methods built around the five major cooperation priorities of "Belt and Road". Specifically, it quantitatively evaluates the country cooperation between China and more than 60 countries along the "Belt and Road" from five dimensions: policy communication, facility connectivity, trade smoothness, capital financing, and popular support, and forms a comprehensive evaluation index.

　　The evaluation results show that among the 64 countries along the Belt and Road participating in the evaluation, 32 countries belong to "to be strengthened", 17 countries belong to "gradual expansion", 13 countries belong to "rapid advancement" and 2 countries belong to "deep cooperation", among which Russia, Kazakhstan, Thailand, Pakistan and Indonesia rank in the top five.

　　The evaluation results show that the effect of policy communication between China and countries along the Belt and Road is good as a whole, political mutual trust has been significantly enhanced, and communication facilities have basically reached "interconnection", while the level of facility connectivity has obvious regional characteristics. Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and China have the best air connectivity; Russia, Kazakstan, Mongolia, Myanmar and China have the best energy facilities. Pakistan, Laos, Russian Federation, Kazakstan and Mongolia have the best cross-border communication facilities with China. In terms of trade and investment, China’s foreign investment cooperation is relatively smooth, and the national cooperation projects and projects have a good momentum of expansion. China’s investment cooperation with Russian, Mongolian and Southeast Asian countries has achieved remarkable results. At the same time, the report also points out the aspects that China still needs to improve in international cooperation. At present, the growth rate of China’s foreign trade has slowed down, and the level of financing has obvious differences among countries. Only with Southeast Asian countries, the construction of financial support environment is relatively good, and other regions need to be strengthened. Although the construction of people’s hearts has achieved remarkable results, it needs to strengthen in-depth and sustained information communication and more targeted public opinion propaganda.

　　Provincial and municipal participation: Guangdong ranks first in the country.

　　The "Participation Index of Provinces, Regions and Cities" developed in the report is a systematic evaluation model and method system around the three levels of "foundation-action-effect", which comprehensively evaluates the participation of 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in the "Belt and Road" construction and its implementation effect. The results show that 5 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) are at a "low" level, 9 provinces (municipalities) are at a "medium" level, 12 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) are at a "high" level, and 5 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) are at a "high" level, including Guangdong, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Tianjin, Fujian, Jiangsu, Shandong and Tianjin.

　　Through the collection and analysis of data, it is concluded that there is a big gap in the participation level of the "Belt and Road" construction among provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities). The provinces and municipalities in the eastern coastal areas scored the highest in the comprehensive evaluation, while the northwest and southwest regions need to be strengthened.

　　At the same time, the evaluation results of the report show that since the "One Belt, One Road" initiative was put forward, the "One Belt, One Road" policy environment has been optimized, the management system has been basically sound, policy documents have been issued one after another, the financial guarantee has been gradually strengthened, and the supporting construction of related facilities has been accelerated. In the past three years, the construction of parks abroad has gradually increased, and the level of connectivity of railways, aviation, highways and ports has been continuously enhanced. In terms of foreign investment, all localities have a high enthusiasm for participating in foreign economic and trade cooperation, and the momentum of foreign direct investment is good. 81.7% of provinces and cities have foreign direct investment of more than 1 billion US dollars, and 77.42% of provinces and cities have foreign direct investment growth rate of more than 20%. All localities actively participate in overseas project construction, with Shandong, Yunnan, Guangdong, Sichuan and Beijing ranking first.

　　It can be seen from the report that the comprehensive influence of participating in the "Belt and Road" construction has begun to appear. Xinjiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Shanghai and Beijing rank among the top five in domestic influence, while Shanghai, Henan, Beijing, Guangdong and Zhejiang rank among the top five in foreign influence.

　　The report also gives suggestions on the parts that need to be improved in the construction of the "Belt and Road": the construction and utilization rate of supporting facilities need to be improved, and the comprehensive benefits need to be improved; The potential of foreign trade and economic cooperation needs to be further developed, and the participation of western provinces and cities needs to be strengthened.

Topic: Inauguration Ceremony of US President Barack Obama

Mr. and Mrs. Biden were interviewed in oprah winfrey.

　　According to the US Newsweek on January 20th, while US President-elect Barack Obama was busy with the inauguration ceremony, Vice President-elect Joe Biden and his wife appeared on the "Talk Show Queen" oprah winfrey’s program to build momentum for their inauguration. But Biden’s wife let slip on the show, saying that Obama had given Biden two job choices-vice president or secretary of state. Biden, whose wife was so anxious to leak, repeatedly shouted "shh".

　　Obama offered Biden two choices.

　　Biden’s wife Jill said in an interview: "Before the election, Joe can choose to be vice president or secretary of state." Biden’s face flushed and his facial expression was very painful, but he had to try his best to keep smiling, which looked very funny. Finally, Biden had to stop his wife with a hiss, which made the audience laugh.

　　Biden did not deny his wife’s statement, but he later explained that he did not immediately accept Obama’s vice presidential proposal because he was not sure whether he was suitable for the position. Later, after he got some assurances from Obama, he finally made a decision. Biden said: "We are a partnership. He is the president of the United States. I will support him behind every important decision he makes. But Obama once said that he wanted to make some intimate friends, not’ yes-men’. "

　　Biden said that after consulting with his wife, he finally became Obama’s running mate. Mrs. Biden revealed that she encouraged her husband to choose the post of vice president, mainly because of family considerations. "If I become Secretary of State, I will always travel, and I may not see him for a long time. But if he becomes vice president, we can always be together, which is very important for our family. "

　　Make a statement to defend after the interview.

　　About three hours after the interview, Biden’s spokeswoman Elizabeth Alexander immediately issued a statement by email. The statement said: "President Obama only offered Vice President Biden one position, that is, to be his running mate. Biden was honored to accept President Obama’s invitation. "

　　Elizabeth’s statement denied that Obama had proposed Biden as Secretary of State, but did not rule out the possibility that the two men had discussed this position.

　　Elizabeth said in the statement: "Like anyone who participates in the presidential election, Mrs. Biden knows that President Obama may propose her husband to take up a certain position to make up for his lack of experience, and the positions of vice president and secretary of state are possible. Vice President Biden pointed out that becoming a vice president may be better for his family, because his family can see him often and he can participate more in state affairs. " (Li Jinliang)
