In 2025, against the background of intensified global geopolitical fluctuations, rising financial uncertainty and the strengthening of national strategic resource positioning, China's gold industry will usher in a historic high boom cycle and bid farewell to the traditional operating model dominated by cyclical fluctuations in gold prices.
4. Admission method
1. The admission method of the "Double Excellent Experimental Class": On the premise that the candidate's art (sketch) test reaches 80 points or more (80 points included), the top 100 students will be admitted from high to low according to the total score of their cultural and professional scores. At the same time, the candidate's junior high school graduate academic test scores must reach the minimum admission score for ordinary high school public-funded students in Laoshan District, Guangzhou in 2015 before they can be formally admitted to our school. If the total scores of the last two candidates are the same, they will be admitted based on their scores in the basic art test; if the last three candidates have the same total scores, they will be ranked in descending order by their scores in Chinese, foreign languages, and mathematics.
2. The admission method of the "Art Specialty Class": On the premise that the candidate's art (sketch) test score reaches 70 points or above (including 70 points), admission will be based on the Guangzhou junior high school graduates' academic test scores from high to low.
In principle, it should not be lower than the minimum admission score for public-funded students in ordinary high schools in the third district.
. At the same time, for candidates who do have the potential for art development and have achieved particularly excellent results in our school's art (sketch) test, after reporting to the city's admissions and examination office for approval, their scores will be appropriately reduced for admission. The admission score will not be lower than the average score of the city's high school entrance examination scores.
3. Candidates who apply for the second batch of early admission "Basic Art Class" will be admitted from high to low according to their academic test scores after passing the art entry test. In principle, their academic scores should not be lower than the minimum admission score for public-funded students in ordinary high schools in the third district.

The Financial Times quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that Nissan warned the British government that if the UK cannot fully integrate into the EU's "Made in Europe" goal, Nissan will be forced to close its factory in Sunderland; a Jaguar Land Rover spokesperson said that the current EU proposal may seriously affect the competitiveness of British automakers in the EU market; Ford, which produces engines in the UK and commercial vehicles in Turkey, also said that the proposed rules will disrupt the existing supply chain.
In April 2025, British Prime Minister Starmer inspected Jaguar Land Rover Solihull Factory Oriental IC
Mike Hawes, chief executive of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), also stressed that the industry had "grave concerns" about the IAA, saying the proposals would be "discriminatory" against British-made cars and parts. In response, British Business and Trade Secretary Peter Kell quickly reassured that he would take potential threats to British car manufacturers "very seriously."
'The toughest year in a generation'
In fact, the original intention of the EU in proposing the IAA bill was to compete with Chinese manufacturing. However, since the EU is the UK's largest export market, the new bill has put the UK on the defensive and dealt a huge blow to British-made cars and auto parts: 6 out of 10 cars sold in Europe belong to corporate fleets, which is exactly within the IAA's precise attack range; and for some car manufacturers, this market segment accounts for half of their annual sales.
The Financial Times quoted a person familiar with the "Made in Europe" negotiations as saying that the UK was a "collateral victim" of the EU's need to protect its car market.
In addition, the EU's stricter rules of origin for electric vehicle batteries will come into effect in January 2027. By then, if the localization ratio of batteries and core components is insufficient, UK electric vehicles exported to the EU may face high tariffs of 10% to 22%, which will completely make it lose its price advantage in competition with zero-tariff fuel vehicles.
The EU has always been the largest export destination for British cars. But after Britain voted to leave the European Union in 2016, the British automobile industry began to decline. Although five years after Brexit, the British automobile industry still maintains a trade volume of 115 billion pounds, but by 2024, the total automobile trade between the two sides has shrunk to 68.4 billion pounds, nearly halved.
Coupled with the sudden changes in the international trade situation in recent years, the chain reaction brought about by intensified global automobile competition and US tariff increases, the competitiveness of the British automobile industry is becoming more sluggish, and the IAA's "Made in Europe" strategy is further accelerating this process.
Nissan UK Sunderland plant Financial Times
SMMT data shows that the total production of cars, trucks and other vehicles in the UK in 2025 will be 764,700 units, a year-on-year decrease of 15.5%, setting a record low in 73 years, and more than half of the peak of 1.7 million units during Brexit in 2016. Hawes even called 2025 "the most difficult year in a generation."
Last year, Stellantis closed its truck factory in Luton; BMW also suspended its 600 million pound investment plan to produce electric MINI in Oxford; local brand Jaguar Land Rover also shut down its factory for more than a month due to a cyber attack, resulting in a loss of more than 200 million pounds.
Among them, as one of the largest automotive employers in the UK, Nissan's Sunderland plant has about 6,000 workers and provides another 30,000 jobs for the overall supply chain. Nissan has invested 6 billion pounds in the Sunderland plant, but its capacity utilization has been hovering around 30% due to weak demand. Sources familiar with the matter have warned that it could pose an existential threat to Nissan if it is frozen out of EU incentives.
New options?
But it is worth mentioning that under heavy pressure, the British automotive industry is not without gains, and some new opportunities are emerging.
In February this year, Chery, China's largest passenger vehicle exporter, stated that it would launch its new energy overseas brand Lepas in the UK in the next few months. During British Prime Minister Starmer's visit to China, Chery Commercial Vehicles also signed a cooperation agreement with the Liverpool City Council in the UK to set up its European headquarters in Liverpool to support engineering and software development. This is also Chery's first headquarters project in Europe.
Including Chery, 10 Chinese brands have launched and sold cars in the UK. Among them, SAIC MG's cumulative sales in the UK's "home" have exceeded 370,000 units, and pure electric vehicles alone have exceeded 100,000 units. Chinese brands including NIO, GAC Aion and Jikry also plan to launch new cars in the UK this year.
Chery New Energy Brand Lepas Chery Automobile
The main reason why Chinese cars have aggressively entered the British market in recent years is precisely because the UK, unlike the EU, has not imposed countervailing tariffs of up to 37.5% on electric vehicles produced in China.
On the other hand, in order to revive the British automobile industry, which continues to decline, the British government has also set an annual production target of 1.3 million vehicles by 2035. But this also means that the British market must welcome an infusion of new blood. Hawes also said that with the current downturn in the traditional automobile industry, new automobile manufacturers must be introduced, and Chinese automobile companies are regarded as core potential partners.
According to the Financial Times, the British government has been actively seeking for Chery to produce cars in the UK in the past few years. Chery has been exploring the idea of using spare capacity at Jaguar Land Rover's British factories to produce cars under a proposal backed by the British government, people familiar with the matter said.
According to SMMT forecasts, UK automobile production is expected to grow by 10% in 2026, and may return to the 1 million level in 2027. In this process, whether Chinese electric vehicles can replace European and American companies and become a new booster for the UK is posing a new test to the British government and the British automobile industry.
When the war between the United States and Israel was tense, I thought that Trump would repeat his old trick and find a bunch of pastors to "pray" around him, which was abstract enough. Unexpectedly, things developed in an even more unexpected direction.
According to a report on the US "Military.com" website on the 6th, more than 20 Democratic members of Congress called for the launch of an internal investigation into the US Department of Defense, accusing top military officials of allegedly citing Christian "Bible prophecies" and "Doomsday Judgment" arguments to justify military actions against Iran. The Pentagon has so far not responded directly.
The original complaint to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) came from an anonymous noncommissioned officer. This person claimed that superiors instilled in the non-commissioned officers that the war with Iraq was part of "God's plan." Trump is the so-called "Chosen One", that is, the person "anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran, trigger the end of the world, and mark the return of Jesus."
The noncommissioned officer is outside the war zone in Iran but could be redeployed at any time to support operations against Iraq. He claimed to be a Christian and filed a joint complaint on behalf of 15 soldiers, including at least 11 Christians, 1 Muslim and 1 Jew.
This is not an isolated case. Mitch Weinstein, founder of the foundation, revealed to "Military.com" that from last Saturday to Tuesday afternoon, more than 200 similar complaints had been received from 50 US military bases.
On March 5, local time, Trump prayed with pastors from all over the United States in the Oval Office.
On Friday local time, Reps. Jared Huffman and Jamie Raskin, co-chairs of the U.S. Congressional Free Thought Caucus, and Krissy Holahan, ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee’s Military Personnel Subcommittee, and 27 Democratic colleagues sent a letter to the Inspector General of the Department of Defense Pratt Morin, requesting an investigation into relevant complaints and checking whether there is any behavior that “cites religious prophecies and doomsday theology to justify U.S. military operations in Iraq.”
The signatory members include moderates and progressives in the Democratic Party, including Pelosi, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Mark Pocan and others.
The report pointed out that members of the U.S. Armed Forces take an oath to uphold the secular constitution rather than specific religious doctrines, and service members have the right to perform their duties without forced religious indoctrination by the chain of command.
The lawmakers said in a two-page letter: "If the relevant remarks are true, using biblical prophecies to justify war and telling soldiers that they die for a specific religious vision not only constitutes a serious constitutional issue, but also violates the Department of Defense's religious neutrality regulations and violates the professional obligations and standards of military leadership."

During the Spring Festival this year, a unique Robot Spring Festival Gala was staged in Jining, Shandong Province. 14 companies brought more than 200 robots to the stage. The historical heritage of the thousand-year-old city and cutting-edge technology have achieved a wonderful resonance.
This year's government work report proposed that the focus of economic development should be on the real economy, develop new productive forces according to local conditions, and build a modern industrial system. Representative Wen Jinrong, Secretary of the Jining Municipal Party Committee of Shandong Province, said that to build a new industrialized city, we must always adhere to the real economy as the basis and the manufacturing industry as the leader. We must not only expand the "basic market" of traditional industries, but also seize the "new track" of emerging industries.
In 2025, Jining will promote the strengthening of advantageous industries to strengthen chains and groups. Industries such as artificial intelligence, robots, and low-altitude economy will flourish. The new energy and new generation information technology industries will deliver growth rates of over 50% and 20% respectively.
Industrial parks are the main frontier and battlefield of the industrial economy. Representative Wen Jinrong said that this year Jining has made the high-quality development of industrial parks a top priority, and has formulated implementation opinions and a series of supporting policies. More than 70% of the new land quotas will be used for industrial projects, and more than 70% of the industrial land quotas will be located in the parks, promoting the concentration of land, talent, capital and other resource elements in the parks. Planting sycamore trees can attract golden phoenixes. Jining cultivates large enterprises and develops large industries by building large parks, building large platforms, and optimizing the general environment, and further strengthens the backbone of industry on the road to high-quality development.
"Guangming Daily" (Page 08, March 08, 2026)
Zhang Yaoxi: The geopolitical situation will welcome non-agricultural data again, and gold prices will fluctuate or rebound and strengthen.
Last trading day, Thursday (March 5): International gold encountered resistance and closed down, regaining Wednesday's gains, and once again stepped back to support positions such as the mid-rail line. Although there are certain support buying expectations, the trend is still weak before breaking above the 5-10 day short-term moving average and stabilizing. Below, pay attention to the support near yesterday's low and the long position near the 60-day moving average support.
In terms of specific trends, the price of gold opened at US$5,145.86 per ounce in the Asian market. It rebounded first and recorded an intraday high of US$5,194.34 at 11 o'clock at noon. Afterwards, it encountered resistance and fell back. The European market fluctuated and consolidated, and the US market held steady again. It continued to fall, hitting an intraday low of $5051.35 at the end of the day, and finally stopped falling and rebounded, closing at $5081.03, with a daily amplitude of $142.99, and closed down $64.83, or 1.26%.
500)this.width=500' hspace=10 vspace=10/>
In terms of impact, the day was supported by buying, and the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East promoted the demand for safe-haven assets, causing the gold price to record an intraday high first. However, due to resistance and the strengthening of the US dollar, the number of layoffs by challenger companies in the United States in February (10,000 people) and the number of initial jobless claims in the United States in the week to February 28 (10,000 people) were negative for the gold price, which once again cooled down expectations of the Federal Reserve interest rate cut, and suppressed the gold price. It fell back and closed down.
Looking forward to today's Friday (March 6): The opening of international gold continued to stop the decline and rebounded late overnight, and started to strengthen. The U.S. dollar index was weak in early trading, which also provided some support for it. In addition, the US non-agricultural data in the evening was generally positive for the price of gold, which also had a certain benefit for it. However, the ADP and initial applications data released this week were negative for the price of gold. Therefore, the non-agricultural data may be better than expected, which is negative for the price of gold.
However, due to the expected impact of non-farm payrolls and the monthly average hourly wage rate in the United States in February and the monthly retail sales rate in the United States in January being significantly weaker than the previous value, if the data is better than or in line with expectations, it will first fall and then rise. If it is weaker than expected and the previous value, it will directly rebound and strengthen, otherwise it will fluctuate lower.
500)this.width=500' hspace=10 vspace=10/>
From a perspective, recent trends have been dominated by U.S. economic data and the prospect of interest rate cuts. Therefore, after this week, the market will return to geopolitical risks again and maintain a strong trend.
Although the situation in the Middle East has entered its sixth day, the US-Israeli coalition's military actions against Iran have intensified, and the market is concerned that the conflict may push up oil prices and inflation, thereby weakening the Federal Reserve's expectations for an interest rate cut. But this is only a short-term suppression. The rise in inflation will eventually lead to an improvement in the commodity nature of gold prices and a strengthening. In addition, signs of a sharp increase in the U.S. fiscal deficit and macro uncertainty still provide support for gold fundamentals. Therefore, even if it does not reach a new high during the year, it will remain volatile at a high level.
500)this.width=500' hspace=10 vspace=10/>
Technically, at the monthly level, the price of gold rebounded and peaked in February. This month, it has now emerged from a shock cross and peaked. This suggests that the market outlook in the first half of the year will tend to continue to fluctuate and adjust to the expected market, and it will start to climb upward again in the second half of the year to refresh the high to the $6,000 mark or even $7,500. However, if it falls below $4,300 in the first half of the year and stabilizes and closes below this level, it will imply that the bull market is over and will further fall to $3,500 or even lower, the 3,000 mark.
500)this.width=500' hspace=10 vspace=10/>
On the weekly chart, gold prices encountered resistance and fell back this week, forming a bearish pattern of yin and yang. Then focus on the 10-week moving average below or the support level of the middle track of the Bollinger Bands to choose to be bullish.
On the daily chart, the price of gold has continuously encountered resistance from the 5-10 day short-term moving average, which prevented the bulls from further strengthening their momentum and pulled it up again. Now it has once again stepped on support positions such as the mid-track line, which implies that the bears still have the upper hand. Below, you can pay attention to the upper and lower trend lines of the previous upward trend channel as support for bullish entry.
Pay attention to the real position information for specific real-time follow-up guidance during the day.
The preliminary point ideas for intraday operations are for reference. The specific entry and exit points are subject to the actual position notification:
Gold: Focus on the support near US$5,050 or US$5,000 below; focus on the resistance near US$5,140 or US$5,180 above;
Silver: Focus on the support of US$80.30 or US$78.70 below; focus on the resistance of US$84.70 or US$86.35 above;
Note:
Gold TD = (international gold price x exchange rate)/31.1035

This year’s government work report proposes to promote the cultivation of outstanding engineers, great craftsmen, and highly skilled talents. During the two sessions of the National People's Congress, the integration of industry and education and the cultivation of high-quality skilled personnel became hot topics. The integration of industry and education is an important link between vocational education and industry, and it is also a key to forging high-quality skilled talents. How can the integration of industry and education become a driving force for the growth of high-quality skilled talents, gathering wisdom and strength to serve new productivity and promote high-quality development? Outside the venue, workers from the front lines of vocational education spoke out and talked about their practices and thoughts.

Precise education through resonance at the same frequency
Narrator: Zhou Leshan, professor at Nanjing Jinling Vocational and Technical School
This year’s National Two Sessions, “Integration of Industry and Education” has become a hotly debated word among delegates. In the past few days, I have received many relevant policy links from colleagues.
Our school is one of the earliest vocational schools in the country to explore the connection between professional entities and industries. Twenty years of practice have convinced me that only when vocational education resonates with industry can it truly cultivate talents that enterprises need and society recognizes.
In November last year, we took the lead in establishing the low-altitude economic industry-education integration community in the Yangtze River Delta metropolitan area. Taking "integration of industry and education, one body and two centers" as the core path, relying on the community, talent training center and industry incubation center, we put talent training and industry incubation on the same platform, truly realizing "teaching is practiced in industry, and industry is incubated in education."
Why do we dare to get involved in new areas like the low-altitude economy? It is 20 years of practice in integrating industry and education that give us the confidence.
Over the years, we have explored and formed four cooperation models: first, modern apprenticeships, order-based classes and other precision education models, and jointly building on-campus training bases with leading companies; second, using "practical projects" to reconstruct the teaching scene and create 13 professional entities in the school, driving teaching with real scenarios and real production tasks, and using real products and real delivery to allow students to be exposed to the forefront of the industry while in school; third The first is to promote the two-way flow of enterprise backbones and school teachers, and establish a long-term two-way part-time and dual-identity mutual integration mechanism; the fourth is to use characteristic professional colleges as the carrier, and jointly build 7 professional colleges with industry leaders, cultivating more than 20,000 technical talents, and training 15,000 employees for cooperative companies every year. From school students to on-the-job employees, the integration of production and education runs through the entire process of the growth of skilled talents. Today, more than 80% of our school’s graduates have entered the cooperative enterprise system, and students are “booked out” by enterprises before they graduate.
The development of vocational education must always go in line with national strategies. In the future, we will continue to build an industry-education integration community with higher standards, become a professional entity with stricter requirements, optimize practical projects with more practical measures, and cultivate more outstanding high-skilled talents.

Establish oneself with skills, cultivate talents with production
Narrator: Yang Jinlong, General Manager of Weifang Branch of Shandong Rhinecost Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd.
I am a front-line technical worker who is deeply involved in equipment research and development in the field of intelligent manufacturing. I have a lot of feelings about the integration of industry and education.
When I was studying at Weifang Vocational College, I participated in the company's small automated production line debugging project. That was the first time I truly walked into a corporate workshop and had close contact with actual production equipment. While studying at the school, I personally experienced the advantages of combining school theoretical learning with corporate practice. I grew into an outstanding technical backbone through the school-enterprise co-education mechanism, and won the first prize in the National Skills Competition. Now, my company is cooperating with many universities and provides more than 800 teacher trainings and more than 1,500 technical trainings to universities every year.
My growth path is a vivid example of the integration of industry and education. From the training platforms of vocational colleges, to the national skills competition venues, to intelligent manufacturing R&D positions, I realized that skilled talents are participants and promoters of industrial innovation. Every precision improvement and every process optimization is inseparable from the solid foundation laid during school and the actual training on the front line of the enterprise. From winning gold medals in competitions to solving key industrial problems, I deeply understand that highly skilled talents are the foundation of new productivity, and the integration of industry and education is the fast track for talent growth.
This year’s Spring Festival Gala, award-winning representatives of the WorldSkills Competition took to the stage of the micro-musical "Every Light", allowing audiences across the country to see the grace of skilled youth. What this beam of light illuminates is the vigorous vitality of vocational education, and it is also the trend of the times of developing talents through skills and serving the country with skills. As a fellow traveler, I feel inspired and more confident in promoting the integration of industry and education.
In the future, I will continue to delve into the field of intelligent manufacturing and use my own experience to drive more young people to take the road of serving the country with skills. It is expected that with the support of policies, the integration of industry and education will become deeper and more solid, cultivate more craftsmen from major countries for the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, and inject solid force into high-quality development.

Combining moral skills and honing ingenuity
Narrator: Han Zhibin, a 2023 student at Changchun Automobile Vocational and Technical University
This year's National Two Sessions, deepening the integration of industry and education and accelerating the cultivation of high-skilled talents have become hot topics. As a student majoring in new energy vehicles in a vocational college, I was very inspired, and the seeds of "serving the country with skills" sprouted rapidly in my heart.
In 2023, with my love for national automobile brands, I stepped into the campus of Changchun Automobile Vocational and Technical University. At the beginning of my enrollment, the "three teachers and apprentices" training model integrating industry and education pointed out the way forward for me: Liu Tong, an ideological and political teacher, served as an ideological and political tutor, guiding me to establish my ambition of "cultivating morality and serving the country with skills"; Liu Yinghui, a national technical expert, served as an academic tutor, laying a solid theoretical foundation for me; and Quan Xiaolong, a famous technical master from Changbai Mountain, served as a technical instructor to help me hone my practical skills. In the "factory in school" jointly built by the school and the enterprise, the workshop is the classroom and the equipment is the teaching aid. I have benefited a lot from cutting-edge technology and real training scenarios.
In 2025, I was selected to work as an intern at China FAW, achieving "zero distance" between campus and workshop, and "zero time difference" between studies and industry. Even more fortunately, I became the apprentice of Yang Yongxiu, a great craftsman. Under the careful guidance of my master, I transformed theoretical knowledge into the ability to solve practical problems. In response to the problem of testing the automobile throttle support rod, I proposed an optimization and improvement plan, which successfully reduced the test data deviation rate from 8% to 1.2%, saving the company 240 hours of manpower every month. Looking at the improved data, the master gave a thumbs up with joy: "You already look like a master!" At that moment, I deeply realized the weight of the "craftsman spirit".
Now, as I am about to graduate, I have received “olive branches” from many high-quality companies. Looking back on my journey, I have grown from an ignorant technical novice to a recognized technical expert. My changes are a vivid footnote to the school's philosophy of integrating industry and education, combining education and training, and combining morals and skills. In the future, I will use the excellent skills I have developed in school to hone my skills in new positions, overcome difficulties, and grow into a highly skilled talent that is urgently needed in the Chinese automobile industry!
