Smearing China” has become the hidden barriers to trade

Recently, Western nations enthusiastic to discredit China to set up through a obscured trade hurdles, for instance, China’s rampant guesswork the so-called “toxic materials” episode and the “network of spies in China.”

The face of fiscal critical purpose, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin of urgency. April 15, he publicly said that in support of state-owned enterprises, will lead the Russian transport subdivision procurement in China will not train. This very distinctly smacks of protectionism, more Chinese population profoundly “upset.” However, it is not Putin’s move “brilliant”, freshly, those who retain high the “free market” the banner of the Western nations are more intense to set up a obscured trade barriers: to discredit China.

China’s so-called “toxic materials” incident to discredit the U.S. media recently a topic of China. U.S. housing construction enterprises Reiner in January this year to the two Chinese manufacturer of gypsum panels to lodge complaints, claiming that there are problems of these plates will be distributed unpleasant smell. Because of Chinese goods, but also suspected of being “problematic”, the report was speculation continued. April 12, the United States more than the media once again on China “poisonous materials,” adding fuel to the flames of. However, the Florida health department test results that the building “will not trigger a public health problem.”

In addition, another issue to discredit China is speculation, “China’s spy network.” Moncton University of Toronto, Canada Center for International Studies, “Laboratory citizens,” March 29 claimed that they found a “based in China, large-scale” Internet spy network. With this response, the United Kingdom has also recently been a “Chinese network attack can paralyze the United Kingdom” is. April 8, the United States, “The Wall Street Journal” has reported that China’s network of spies had penetrated the U.S. power grid, to the U.S. security infrastructure. However, the U.S. computer expert Brian April 14, said the author, the American media earlier reported that there is no evidence.

Wind large-scale tree, not empty words. The world is opposite a economic urgent position, while China is evolving progressively famous function and the rank of hard to restore and determined that it will inescapably become a focal point. In the international economic urgent position is far from bottoming out against the backdrop of Putin in an open way trade defence will routinely be the subject of debate. Thus, some contain high the “free market” banner on the Western nations of endeavouring to apply concealed protectionism. Whether it is China’s so-called “toxic materials” occurrence or “Chinese spy network” behind the occurrence, we can glimpse the shaded of the concealed trade barriers.

Quality troubles through the implementation of deal boundaries is a universal global trade barriers. The get higher of trade protectionism in the United States, Sino-US trade friction against the backdrop of intensified, separate someone worth of Chinese yield in addition advanced speedily as the natural political subjects, some of who took the possibility to launch an assault and commenced to demonize “China.” Originally, the U.S. economic procedure not good, yet the deal of so-called “problematic” of Chinese wares, some U.S. broadcasting and separate people will be the natural objective of China and Chinese products.

Through guesswork, “China’s spy network” to set up trade hurdles are more hidden. The U.S. Congress to obstruct the White House and consequently have other U.S. government sections, China’s Lenovo computer order. Huawei Technologies in China by the British smartness representatives believe that the capability manipulate of the UK knowledge web, some British representatives to chase the movement of the opening in order that trusted financial gatherings the United Kingdom to return the company’s business. In item, Huawei has long been in Australia had comparable treatment. Australian broadcasting have issued the journal that “national broadband web venture capability bidders Top Chinese espionage” against Huawei, both behind the Western world for Chinese enterprises preconceived biases, there are competitors in the West, the incidence of the use of the “China danger theory” spoiler intentionally.

Held in London early in April the 20-nation summit, the nations have an significant agreement that the present economic urgent position should be to oppose trade protectionism. Some nations the use of intelligent aleck way to discredit the Chinese trade protectionism will not help their demeanour in the world financial recovery, it will impairment their own interests.

Sharp reduction in prices of Japan’s iron and steel

According to the Japanese “Asahi Shimbun” stated that Nippon Steel and other Japanese hard metal oversized Toyota freshly in 2009 on the motor vehicle to arrive at accord with hard metal costs per ton descent in 2008 than 15,000, which is Japan’s greatest descent in past files, but in addition when split from the first charge lessening for seven years.

The 2001 charge lessened by 10% of the descent even more significant. Iron and hard metal oversized creatures of hard metal costs had planed to converse the end of this year, but Toyota made one time the dirt particles has reconciled the steel ore charge dialogues will be farther appealed price.

Iron and steel giants outside of Toyota car, shipbuilding and electric enterprises, the price will be lowered, which is a positive manufacturing news. However, due to auto industry did not rise in steel prices to consumers, it can immediately car price, and now not clear.

By the impact of the global economic downturn, the demand for steel dropped, the Japanese steel giant with overseas energy companies coal price negotiations to reach an agreement, prices 57 percent lower in 2008, iron ore price negotiations were under way, will be expected to decline in between 20-40%.

The next robot or replace human intelligence

On the island in the Atlantic Ocean, universal robot洛苏姆company to produce the robot to infiltrate into the world. So someone would have predicted the extinction of the human disaster. However, the company’s person in charge洛苏姆act not only continue to expand production scale, but also the continuous improvement of robot, so that they have thought. The results of the robot has a sense of resistance, more and more did not listen to orders, and even launched a riot. The face of crisis, engineers decided to burn all the manufacturing of the robot, but this way, human beings have lost their trump card against the robot. Finally the war both sides suffer, apart from the master secret robot engineers, other people were killed; the robot is unable to reproductive aging, gradually reduce the quantity. At the end of the story, hear the Engineer are both the world’s last robot laughter, they have access to the human thought and emotion, and even have sex – they become the new Adam and Eve.

This is 1920, the Czech playwright Karel Capek’s science fiction drama created – “universal robot洛苏姆Company” in the plot, is also the word robot debut debut. Capek in accordance with robota (Czech: “labor, work hard”) and robotnik (Polish: “Worker”) created a robot, the robot used to call the play. Later the word was adopted to absorb the language and become a global vocabulary, and develop science-fiction literature. Today, the level of robot manufacturers have long been not stop the development of drama in the sci-fi, scientists have created a wide range of unique features of the robot, a number of international events are also held regularly.

2008 Robot Competition and the RoboCup China Open

2008 Robot Competition and the RoboCup China Open on December 5 was unveiled at Zhongshan, Guangdong, from hundreds of domestic and foreign teams battle at the top here. RoboCup is an international RoboCup robot Open Cup, one of the world’s top five tournament, RoboCup robot World Cup is the world’s largest and highest levels, the impact of the most extensive robot race and Technology Symposium, held since 1997 since the beginning The annual World Cup of the robot. Event of this competition will be divided into robot soccer, robot arena game martial arts, dance robot race, robot race in the water, air robot race, race and rescue robot, robot simulation game and so on, one of the most talked about and among the most exciting robot and robot soccer tournament martial arts arena.

Events this game apart from a variety of robot, the most concern are the provision of services for the home robot. At present, the robot has entered the home, the market price at 5 million, 5 years after the robot home prices dropped to 2 million is expected, the general popularity of home can be. Families Group at the scene, Shanghai Jiaotong University to pay the long robot is self-introduction: “Hello everyone, My name is cross-long, 120 centimeters tall and weighing 20 kilograms, I will be in Chinese and English languages make …..。” End introduce myself, then with the robot walking at a slow, “master” behind the “kitchen” and “living room” shuttle, the robot behind the screen, clearly making “master” image. At this point, a stranger deliberately staggered with the robot masters, the robot can continue to follow their own “masters” and not with the lost, so that the audience is surprised. Except to follow the master, the family group of the main events include: self-introduction, since the positioning and navigation, manipulation of objects, identify a specific person, lost and looking for technical challenges, as well as seven aspects of race. Researchers of this type of robot to do a careful calculation and design, to the unfamiliar in a particular environment, by going to guide a person, the robot will know how to go, which are used for robot self-localization and navigation technology. This technology can be applied to the supermarket after the guide, as well as the street guide robot. Not only in China, the world of robot technology research and development are endless.

Japanese scientists to create their own robot to work on behalf of a substitute

Engagements, each white-collar workers have had to go off on the road at often a sense of mental and physical exhaustion. If you can comfortably stay at home, remote control robot to go to work instead of their own, and that nice!西罗思- ho Ishiguro is a busy person so he has two jobs, countless meetings and presentations, tight timetable for the timing of his very full, and no leisure. In order to allow themselves a moment leisure, give him a machine to create their own reality, instead of its own job site, or even let it go to the university on behalf of their class, and he just at home in the remote students can communicate with the remote, so removed from the their way of hard work. Professor at the University of Osaka, Japan, and Director of Intelligent robot stability西罗思- Ishiguro-ho to the public display of his “machine a substitute” – “杰米诺德HI-1″ No.. Its appearance, expression, motion, voice-ho I like Ishiguro, a lot of people that have it as a real person, just like its maker.

This is called “杰米诺德HI-1″ robot is the No. Ishiguro Laboratory ATR-ho led the development of the Group. “杰米诺德” Yes “like twins” means, HI Ishiguro ho is the English name of the first to write letters. The pursuit of realism, the two places at once Ishiguro ho is by his own tailor-made body. Group produced a first-ho Ishiguro facial model, and nuclear magnetic resonance to obtain the shape of his skull data. And the robot made from the same ho Ishiguro 1.75 meters height, which are the bones of steel and aluminum, are silicone skin, hair the first half of stone and ho is really my hair.

Substitute the use of compressed air machinery and small-driven actuators, the body 46 there is free exercise. Substitute machine is based on the internal procedures Ishiguro ho designed the personal habits, whether it is the blink of an eye or a way to roll his eyeballs, all with the same stone and I ho. When the chair to sit on it when, like scanning the room like a real person, it will be the same as normal “wink” to the way a restless, uneasy swing it up and down the legs, buttocks, or move it. When it breathing, but also to raise a little about the shoulder. Action is the width of such subtle, it’s hard to believe that it is a machine, seems more like a person wearing a rubber mask. When the machine stand and sit together Ishiguro ho, the people will not know the truth that they are a pair of twins, never be confused as real ones.

British robot like human facial expressions can enrich the dialogue

British scientists have developed the first robot extremely humane “Jules”, as it can, as the expression of human facial expressions, lips peristalsis, the natural look is very realistic. The laboratory robot designed by the Bristol robot invention is not the body, only the head, face and it looks like a man is like a woman, realistic feel of skin elastic, built-in video camera head and 34 electron micro-engines, it can automatically simulate a wide range of human facial expressions, his usual broad smile, play a variety of face, with the attendant changes or shallow or deep forehead wrinkles are very realistic, but also a simple conversation. Jules’s eyes are a video camera to see people’s faces, it will figure into video instructions, and then, through their respective systems and the formation of micro-electronic engine sports expression. The rate of 25 per second so that real-time simulation of robot expressions happen.

The laboratory robot are from the west of England and the University of Bristol University, co-founder, Engineer robot laboratory Hersh克里斯梅尔, O’Neill彼得杰克尔Campbell and three lasted only three and a half years to develop this new type of robot, robot implementation of artificial intelligence to interact with the perfect simulation of human facial expression that can simulate more than ten kinds of human facial expressions, such as happiness, sadness, worry and so on.克里斯梅尔Hersh said: “Jules is rich in expression, when he faces moving up, look very natural, just like people, like the expression.”

At Bristol彼得杰克尔robot robot is responsible for the laboratory study of facial expression, he said: “The life-like robot to carry out face-to-face expression of the human-computer interaction is the most important. One day, robots can be become a good helper for astronauts, the elderly partner, in the field of health and education to help mankind. This calls for robot appearance and behavior to match want to meet people’s expectations, to finally realize robot applications in these areas. us The study of the robot’s facial expression has focused on the real extent, this robot is different from previous studies, it can be said that facial expressions are the most like a person of a robot. “In this regard, from the Joseph Fu County in the University of robot researchers also科尔斯廷too worried about the robot realistic, expressions, action, feel all too much like a real person, the future of robot will be difficult to identify possible sub-true people Machine confusion.

Korean scientists in the next few months to give sex robot

Scientists have created can walk and even run the robot speech, but a scientist from the Republic of Korea decided to study the robot one more big step forward – give the robot sex! The scientists named Kim Jung-hoon, from Korea Research Center, ITRC robot functions, he has invented a series of artificial chromosomes. These artificial chromosomes can be said to allow robot “lecherous” and eventually be able to “reproductive” and achieved self-reproduction. In the coming months, these chromosomes will be installed in a robot body, and this robot will be able to have a perception, logical reasoning and the desire to have a human capacity. Although Kim Jong-hoon admit some of his crazy ideas, but he is not a Frankenstein. 90 era in the 20th century, Professor Jin launched robot soccer World Cup, and now the race has become the most robot researchers welcome the progress of the state of robot Detect grand event.

The next robot or replace human intelligence?

In the sci-fi novels, robot except robot refers to the iron and steel (mechanical men) also includes the so-called “bio-robot,” and even the early “human cloning.” Broadly speaking, all the non-birth “people” are among the robot. In the real world, robots are not people really want with the form, in order to be able to work more efficiently, and their appearance is often strange. In the context of modern science and technology, robot is “automatic smart machine” that only the generation.

Involved in the early sci-fi robot stories, most of the performance of a concern for the scientific and technological progress: Mankind has created highly intelligent robot, tend to eat their own bitter fruit, to be replaced by robot. This technology in order to reverse the pessimistic views expressed by the end of 1940, the famous science fiction writer Isaac Asimov and science fiction editor John Campbell, for the robot to develop a set of norms and ethical codes of conduct, which is well-known “machines Three people learn the law “: a robot may not harm people, or being injured and stand by with folded arms; two, unless contrary to the First Law, Human robot must obey orders; three, unless contrary to the law of the first and second, the machine the need to protect their own people. From the 1941 science fiction short “reasoning” start, Asimov on “Three’s Law” under the framework of creating a series of short science fiction robot. Proficiency in the use of his “law of three”, there is probably in violation of the rules of robot under the premise of the story gradually started.

Asimov at an excellent work “200-year-old person” (1976), he expressed this idea most vividly.

“200-year-old person” tells the story of a robot version of Pinocchio Archipelago. This robot has just been created, it showed a remarkable artistic talent. In the following a long period of time, it can be brought to its enormous wealth, and it will use the money to realize his dream – becoming a genuine person. It continues to court to try to identity recognized by law; it will gradually replace parts of the body organ biology until fully into people physiological sense; Finally, in order to allow society to admit that he is a thorough person, it take the initiative to give up eternal life . Lay Dying At the court’s verdict has come – “he” finally realized the dream became a real, people have dignity.

Science fiction has always been a dream of mankind of the stage show, accompanied by sci-fi novels and popular movies, more and more people have generally accepted such a future: peaceful coexistence and human robot will assist in the resolution of production and life experience difficulties, and even an alternative to our exploration and development of the territory of the unknown. With such consensus, coupled with advances in modern science and technology, in particular the rapid development of computer technology, the robot is out of science fiction dream into the reality of our lives. However, there is such a statement, the short term, when the robot and there is not enough compared to our intelligence, we can certainly make an order against them, gesticulating, this time we are not to pose any threat. In the long run, however, on the other hand, if there is one day more than their human intelligence, then you said to them, I lose the wrong place, I give to you about, or become our friends, this time they simply will not pay attention to human beings, would like us to keep shooting as mosquitoes die …..。 21 At the end of the century, if we say that there will be World War II, then at that time be able to harm human beings are not necessarily military capabilities, is likely to be a bio-technology, biological weapons, said the robot is therefore a potential danger.
