SHENZHEN -- Shenzhen, a city emerging as China's leading innovation hub, saw the arrival of many new overseas-funded companies last year, local authorities said on Saturday.More than 11,000 such firms, including many with investment from Hong Kong, were registered in Shenzhen last year, nearly twice the number in2016, according to Shenzhen enterprise registration bureau.Shenzhen in Guangdong province has transformed from a tiny fishing enclave in the 1970s to one of China's most flourishing cities filled with successful tech companies and startups.The growth of overseas investment is partly the result of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, which is not yet in operation. The bridge will link cities in the Pearl River Delta, including Shenzhen, when it opens.The number of new firms in Shenzhen surpassed 362,000 in 2017, around 1,000 new firms each day.Around 92 percent of them are in tertiary industries, such as wholesale and retail, leasing and information transmission. custom bar braceletcustom sports braceletscustom logo wristbandsde securite pour personne ageeembossed wristbandscolorfilled wristbandsembossed printed wristbandsdual layer wristbands
The country's first software-based satellite is expected to begin its journey to space from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the second half of 2018 and conduct in-orbit experimental verification. [A screen shot from CCTV] With a new-type satellite to be launched this year, China is expected to be able to include satellite data in artificial intelligence, youth.cn reported on Monday. The country's first software-based satellite is expected to begin its journey to space from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the second half of 2018 and conduct in-orbit experimental verification, CCTV said. Tianzhi 1, literally translated from Chinese as sky-based intelligence, is focused on software, carrying a small cloud computing platform and four domestically made smartphones. Unlike a single-mission traditional satellite, it develops aviation software for different satellites and has an app store for various aviation applications. In the era of AI, we should put a 'brain' on the earth observing satellites, Li Deren, an academician from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a professor with Wuhan University, said. He noted once a sky brain is built, data from various satellites could possibly be received and operated on smartphones, making satellite data accessible to the public. Li said the brain could help satellites react quickly. When a satellite takes a picture of our navy soldiers encountering pirates in Africa, it takes hours for the satellite to travel above China, he said. Then, the data is downloaded to a ground station and sent to the navy. At that time, the pirates have gone. Other experts pointed to the efficiency of satellites. Only about 10 minutes of data satellites collect in a day are, on average, needed by the ground. Our telecommunications, navigation and remote sensing satellites are also separate, with one for a single function, said Yang Xiaoniu, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a professor with Xidian University. According to Zhao Junsuo, a researcher at the CAS, Tianzhi 1 has several salient features: a high degree of intelligence which allows in-orbit processing of most satellite data, universal software development for in-orbit experiments and universal access to its real-time status through a phone app. Zhao said, Our goal is not launching as many satellites as possible, but to provide an 'all-in-one' solution, similar to the Android operating system.
