Chapter 1283 National Day Events

National Day.

It is not only the golden week for tourism, but also the peak season for consumption.

Similarly, many people will choose to get married on this day.

At the 011 Aviation Base, thousands of people chose to get married collectively on this day.

Unlike the current weddings, the collective wedding process is very simple. There is no bride and groom toasting at each table, but they toast to everyone directly on the stage.

Liu Tao rarely attends a collective wedding banquet and personally serves as a wedding witness.

This is the first time he has attended a collective wedding banquet and served as a wedding witness since 1980.

For these thousands of couples, Liu Tao has only sincere blessings, wishing them to support each other, work together, and fight for a better life.

After attending the wedding banquet, he rushed back to Beijing again.

In the morning, he was actually still in Beijing, and now after attending the collective wedding banquet, Liu Tao took a special plane back to Beijing as soon as possible. There are two activities in Beijing that he needs to attend.

National Day, celebrations are held in various industries across the country.

For the tourism industry, the National Day holiday is a golden week for tourism; for local governments, they hold National Day celebrations; for overseas embassies and consulates, they often organize to celebrate the National Day with local overseas Chinese.

The troops will also celebrate the National Day, and there will often be representatives from all walks of life in the local area to express their condolences to the local troops.

One of the activities that Liu Tao will attend is the National Day gala held by representatives from the science and technology community in Beijing.

There is no small matter in celebrating the National Day. There is a very important reason why the country attaches importance to this area, which is to build consensus and enhance the cohesion of the Chinese nation.

For the National Day celebrations in various places, they are also very supportive.

For example, this year, Hong Kong held a large-scale Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival to reproduce the charm of the "Glorious Tang Dynasty", and representatives from all walks of life in Hong Kong also expressed their condolences to the troops stationed in Hong Kong to promote military-civilian integration.

For example, the Consul General of the Consulate General in New York and overseas Chinese celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival together with the moon.

This belongs to the cultural aspect, which is soft power.

Hard power needs to be built, and soft power also needs to be built.

The advanced technology of the United States in remote breeding is worth learning from China.

The National Day holiday also brought good news in terms of tourism. The snow region received more than 300,000 tourists during the Golden Week, and the total tourism revenue exceeded 100 million yuan. During the Golden Week, the average occupancy rate of most hotels and family hotels reached 90%!

In the southern part of Tibet, the number of tourists received during the Golden Week exceeded one million for the first time, and the total tourism revenue exceeded 500 million yuan for the first time.

The Mekong River Golden Tourism Waterway received more than 6 million tourists, and the total tourism revenue exceeded 3 billion yuan.

Qiong Province received more than 2 million tourists during the Golden Week, and the total tourism revenue exceeded 2.4 billion yuan.

The Maldives received more than 1 million tourists during the Golden Week, and the total tourism revenue exceeded 5 billion yuan.

During the entire "Eleventh" Golden Week, the country received more than 500 million tourists.

The development of the tourism industry is setting new records every year.

And this terrifying number of tourists is not wrong to call it a "Golden Week".

In November, the China-Africa Cooperation Forum was held in Beijing.

The China-Africa Cooperation Forum will be held for three days, during which China and African countries will exchange views on politics, economy, military and culture.

The China-Africa Cooperation Forum is a friendly cooperation between China and African countries under the new situation, jointly confronting the challenges of economic globalization and seeking common development. It is held every three years under the joint initiative of China and Africa. It was held this year.

The AU has proposed a plan to promote industrialization, but progress has been slow for a long time. In addition, African agriculture also faces some prominent problems, such as food security. More than half of African countries need to import food. Africa's per-acre grain yield is also very low, about half of the world average.

Because of the long-term wars, a large number of people have died in the wars, and Africa is facing the dilemma of peace and development.

The AU has passed the infrastructure development plan, but it can participate in the construction of infrastructure such as railways, roads, ports, power stations, and communication facilities in Africa. Looking at the world, one hand can count them.

China and Africa have always maintained friendly relations. China has helped build primary schools, hospitals, and railways in Africa, which is obvious to all.

The humanitarian aid to Africa every year is also deeply appreciated by African countries.

Both sides are exploring peace and development.

The AU, or African Union, was formerly the Organization of African Unity.

In May 1963, the heads of 32 independent African states met in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, signed a charter and established the first independent continental institution in Africa, the Organization of African Unity (OAU).

The goal of this organization is naturally to promote African unity and enable Africa to freely control its own destiny.

In the years of African war, the Organization of African Unity has been facing severe challenges, especially the African war in the 1990s, which once caused the Organization of African Unity to suffer heavy losses.

Until the African war gradually subsided, the heads of state and government of the Organization of African Unity issued a declaration calling for the establishment of the African Union in order to accelerate the integration process of the African continent, so that Africa can play its due role in the global economy while dealing with the luxury, economic and political problems caused by some negative effects of globalization.

The AU is naturally learning from the European Union and the Arab League.

However, the AU also has its own particularity, that is, the size of African countries varies greatly, and the strength of African countries is very different. In addition, in this continent, the people's education level is generally low, there is no national history and culture of their own, and they are full of colonial culture. Religions are even more diverse, there are a large number of tribes, and in terms of development level, they are even worse than South America.

European forces led by France have been squeezed out of the African continent, but relying on geographical advantages, Europe is still exerting influence on the African continent.

In recent years, China's investment in Africa has grown at an annual rate of more than 10%, especially in infrastructure investment in Africa, which has maintained a high growth rate. Africa generally has a high evaluation of infrastructure projects in which China participates.

In terms of industrialization and agricultural modernization in Africa, China is willing to help. For example, China's hybrid rice technology is also being promoted in Africa, which effectively helps African countries increase grain yields per mu and solve their food security problems.

China also has the largest number of hydropower stations and thermal power stations built in Africa, allowing more people in Africa to use electricity.

Even more, many Chinese entrepreneurs have invested in building factories in Africa, such as textile factories and leather factories.

The cooperation between the two sides is based on equality and mutual benefit, equal consultation, enhancing understanding, expanding consensus, strengthening friendship, and promoting cooperation. This is not just about winning once, but a win-win situation. (End of this chapter)
