If Europe wants to realize its ambition of power battery, why can’t it bypass China?

  China-Europe battery industry is forming a new bond, with capital, technology and market intertwined and deeply integrated. Strengthening mutually beneficial cooperation between Chinese and European enterprises will help both sides give full play to their respective advantages and take the initiative in the global new energy vehicle market.

  Until 2021, the batteries of electric vehicles produced in Europe were basically from abroad. Europe has to face the fact that Asian companies occupy a major share of the global battery market. With the leading image of China battery enterprises appearing in front of global users, Europe has stepped up efforts to support local battery manufacturers, and the cooperation and competition between the two sides in the battery market are deeply intertwined. Strengthening mutually beneficial cooperation may be the right way for China and Europe to jointly deal with climate change and energy crisis.

  Why did Europe give up the road of local battery production before? Why should we rearrange the relevant industrial chains? What are the difficulties in realizing this vision? Can the research and development of new batteries "overtake in corners" … … The reporter of Science and Technology Daily in Germany interviewed Zhang Lin, a professor at the Institute of Solid State Physics of the University of Hanover, Germany, and Dr Kai-Christian Moeller, a spokesman for the Hof Battery Alliance in Flawn, and other battery experts.

  Opportunities are rare, and China batteries are integrated into the European market.

  China’s batteries and new energy vehicles are constantly entering the European market. At the Hanover International Commercial Auto Show, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, a battery manufacturer from China, signed cooperation agreements with a number of leading global vehicle companies and won the Daimler Truck Supplier Award. Later, the German car rental company SIXT signed an order for 100,000 new energy vehicles with BYD, an electric vehicle company in China, and the overall development momentum of China’s new energy industry was good.

  According to the report of market research organization SNE Research, in the first half of 2022, the installed capacity of global power batteries was 202GWh, a significant increase of 75.65% compared with 115GWh in the same period last year. Among the TOP20 enterprises, there are 15 enterprises in China, with a total market share of 61.88%. Of the 12 power battery manufacturers with a year-on-year growth rate of over 100%, 11 are China enterprises.

  Since 2017, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited has been the global power battery sales champion for five consecutive years. In the first half of 2022, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited’s power batteries accounted for 34.16% in the world. "We are proud to be an important force in promoting the electrification of the industry together with other leading global companies." Li Xiaoning, CEO of Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited Overseas Business Department, said this at Hanover International Commercial Auto Show.

  Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited CTP and MTV innovative batteries, or BYD brand-new blade batteries, China’s power battery products have comprehensive advantages in safety performance, strength, endurance, service life, charging and discharging power, low temperature performance and so on.

  At the same time, the sales of electric vehicles in Europe are growing rapidly. According to the data of European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), about one tenth of the new cars sold in the EU in the first half of 2022 are pure electric vehicles. Europe plans to phase out gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles by 2035. Europe, which still lacks local battery companies, has become the largest overseas market for power batteries in China.

  The cost is too high, and European companies once gave up battery production.

  Europe has always been an important base for battery research, but for cost reasons, Europe has gradually given up producing batteries in recent years.

  According to experts from Daimler, Daimler was a pioneer in electric vehicle research and produced lithium batteries in Saxony, Germany as early as 2012. However, compared with other manufacturers’ batteries, its products do not have much advantage, coupled with limited production capacity and high cost. After persisting in losses for three years, Daimler closed the lithium battery production plant in December 2015.

  At that time, Daimler CEO dieter zetsche said: "Daimler used to be the only German company that produced its own batteries, but today we realize that we can purchase it all over the world!"

  Bosch, an automotive electronics supplier, is also one of the early companies engaged in the battery business of electric vehicles, and has many related patents. As of August, 2021, Bosch ranked third in the patent application of lithium battery industry in the world, with 2571 patent applications.

  Considering the first-Mover advantage of Asian suppliers, Bosch Company assessed in 2018 that it needs to invest 20 billion euros to gain 20% market share in 2030, and whether and when the investment can be rewarded is still unknown. Therefore, after careful evaluation of market, technology, cost and investment, Bosch made a strategic decision to abandon battery production.

  In an interview with a reporter from Science and Technology Daily, a senior German battery expert said frankly: "It is really a pity now that Bosch made a strategic decision to abandon battery production in 2018."

  After American and European companies gave up battery production, the battery production industry gradually concentrated in Asia. This is an industry with full market competition. At present, products from many enterprises in China, Japan and South Korea are available for purchase.

  Start again, Europe vigorously supports the development of local battery industry.

  With the rise of new energy vehicles around the world, more and more car companies realize that the battery in electric vehicles is not just a replaceable common component. It is the core and the most expensive component of electric vehicles, and it is becoming a key factor affecting sales like the previous engines.

  The European Union began to realize that establishing a complete local battery value chain in Europe is an urgent task for clean energy transformation and industrial competition. It is estimated that by 2025, the market opportunity of European battery industry will reach about 250 billion euros every year.

  With the strong support of the European Union, in 2017, the European Union Battery Union (EBA) was established to promote and develop the production of local battery cells, with the participation of 14 EU member States, European investment banks and hundreds of companies and scientific research institutions. In April 2022, EBA put forward a new action plan, hoping that by 2030, the domestic battery products in the EU can meet 90% of its market demand.

  The European Union has successively invested tens of billions of euros to support the research and development and production of local batteries through two "Important Projects of Common Interest in Europe (IPCEI)". Domestic battery companies have mushroomed in Europe.

  Among these enterprises, the development of Swedish battery company Northvolt, German Volkswagen and French automobile battery company ACC is the most eye-catching. Northvolt’s first lithium battery factory was mass-produced in the first quarter of 2022, and the annual production capacity is expected to be 16GWh after improvement. Northvolt plans to achieve a production capacity of 150GWh by 2030.

  Volkswagen started construction of the first 40GWh battery factory in Salzgit in July 2022, and plans to put it into mass production in 2025. By 2030, Volkswagen will build six large battery factories in Europe, with a total annual production capacity of 240GWh.

  ACC is building the first 13GWh battery factory in France, which will be expanded to 40GWh in the future. In addition, ACC also plans to build two factories in Germany and Italy with a capacity of 40GWh. By 2030, the total battery capacity of ACC will increase to 120GWh.

  At the same time, more than 40 battery manufacturers around the world announced that they would set up battery factories in Europe. Flawn’s Hof Institute for Systems and Innovation (ISI) released a report saying that according to the announcement of battery manufacturers active in Europe, the battery production capacity in Europe may reach 124GWh in 2022, 500GWh in 2025 and even 1.5TWh in 2030.

  There are many challenges, and European battery companies need to overcome four major difficulties.

  European companies face many challenges in producing power batteries.

  The first is to overcome the difficulties of mass production.

  Asian battery enterprises have generally developed from lithium battery enterprises for consumer electronics, and through years of accumulation, they have gradually solved various problems encountered in mass production. However, the self-built industrial chain in Europe is still in its infancy, and many newly established battery manufacturers lack similar experience and need to overcome more difficulties in the mass production process.

  "Production experience is very important for lithium battery manufacturing. The production and debugging of lithium battery involves at least 4000 parameters, and it is not easy to achieve balanced quality control of batteries even for the same batch of products. And the same standard chemical plant, built in another place, also takes a long time to debug. The real challenge is to mass-produce millions of batteries with the least quality fluctuation. Europe still has a long way to go in this regard. " A battery expert from a German company said in an interview.

  The second is to ensure the supply of raw materials.

  At present, China has a high market share in the key links of battery production. This means that many materials needed by European battery manufacturers have to be purchased from China. Take Northvolt, the only local power battery manufacturer in Europe that has started mass production at present, for example, many core materials of its batteries come from China suppliers.

  Europe is increasing cooperation with countries such as the United States, Canada and Australia in raw materials. But the problem is that the new supply chain must pay huge time and capital costs. For example, it will take at least 10 years to build a new raw material base from the beginning of mining, and it will take several years to reach the design capacity.

  Kay Christian Muller told reporters: "When establishing battery production on the scale of GWh, it is always a challenge to ensure the safety and stability of the supply chain, which is true everywhere and under any circumstances, not just for European companies." He has been engaged in the research and development of lithium batteries for nearly 30 years, and his work in Flawn Hof Battery Alliance includes 24 research institutions, covering battery materials, module design and production technology.

  Thirdly, the supporting capacity of lithium battery equipment.

  The production process of lithium batteries is relatively complicated, which can be roughly divided into stages such as pole piece manufacturing, battery cell assembly, battery cell formation, testing, etc. Orders for related manufacturing equipment are gathering from head enterprises in various sub-sectors. Asian enterprises have obvious advantages in this respect and are expected to become the core equipment suppliers of new battery factories in Europe.

  Take Volkswagen’s new battery factory as an example. In January 2022, Volkswagen and Bosch issued a joint statement, planning to set up a joint venture company to supply equipment for the battery factory. But in June, 2022, Volkswagen still gave the order for 40Gwh production equipment of Salzgit battery factory to the lithium battery equipment supplier in China.

  Finally, participate in global market competition.

  Asian battery companies are taking advantage of the time window when European battery companies have not yet formed scale production capacity to seize market share. It is estimated that by 2025, the battery production capacity in Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited will reach 670GWh, BYD may reach 600GWh, and LG New Energy plans to reach 540GWh. From the upstream lithium ore and lithium salt, to the anode and cathode materials, separators and manufacturing equipment of batteries, the leading enterprises have a relatively complete layout, and are constantly carrying out technological innovation and product iteration around the new battery structure and material system.

  The production of batteries is an industry that pursues scale effect extremely. Whether European local battery enterprises can expand production capacity and reduce costs in a short time is the key to their participation in market competition. Faced with a series of challenges, such as the rising price of raw materials in the upstream, the tight pressure of competitors and the strict control of purchasing prices by automakers, how to survive and develop in the brutal market competition may be the biggest problem faced by emerging battery enterprises in Europe.

  Green barrier, carbon footprint threshold or a double-edged sword

  In March 2022, the European Parliament passed the EU New Battery Regulation, which drives the green and low-carbon transformation of the battery industry with stricter requirements. From July 1, 2024, only batteries with carbon footprints can be put on the European market. In 2027, Europe will ban the sale of batteries that exceed the maximum carbon footprint limit. The European Union has also made it mandatory to recycle batteries and reuse metals such as nickel, cobalt and lithium to reduce the pressure on environmental protection and raw materials.

  In addition, the EU will also force due diligence on the entire supply chain of batteries, including the social and environmental risks involved in the process of raw material refining, battery cell production and battery use. This series of new regulatory policies will undoubtedly benefit the layout of local battery enterprises in Europe and make up for their disadvantages in product cost.

  Correspondingly, the newly-built battery enterprises in Europe attach great importance to the carbon emission of batteries in the whole life cycle from raw materials to products. According to the data of the European Transport and Environment Federation, the carbon emission of battery production of electric vehicles ranges from 61kg to 106kg CO_2e/kWh, which can account for more than 60% of the total life cycle emission of electric vehicles.

  Northvolt Company emphasizes that its battery carbon footprint (about 33kg CO_2e/kWh) is only one-third of that of reference batteries in the same industry due to the use of 100% renewable energy, and Northvolt hopes to reach the goal of 10kg CO_2e/kWh by 2030.

  However, there is an important premise to build a green barrier for the European battery industry, that is, the battery capacity in Europe can meet its own needs. Otherwise, these measures will increase the production costs, including those of European battery manufacturers, and the products of leading Asian enterprises will still be competitive.

  Zeng Yuqun, Chairman of Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, said that based on the composition of the carbon footprint of power batteries, most of the carbon footprint can be reduced through green power, large-scale recycling and technological upgrading, and combined with carbon sinks, a zero-carbon battery can be realized. In the first quarter of 2022, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited recycled 21,000 tons of waste batteries and used them to produce 18,000 tons of precursors. In March, 2022, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited Yibin Factory obtained international certification and became the first zero-carbon battery factory in the world.

  Can Europe win the first opportunity through solid-state batteries by changing the track?

  Solid-state battery is an important research direction of the next generation power battery, which is expected to replace the traditional lithium-ion battery (LIB). Zhang Lin focused on the design, optimization and recycling technology of new energy materials, and was nominated for the Leibniz Prize in 2019. In an interview with the Science and Technology Daily reporter, she stressed: "For the industrialization of all-solid-state batteries, both China and Europe are currently in the primary stage."

  Zhang Lin introduced the long-term accumulation of solid-state battery research in Europe. For example, BMW cooperates with SolidPower Company of the United States to develop sulfide solid electrolyte technology, and plans to launch a prototype of solid battery by 2025 and use it in production cars by 2030. Volkswagen cooperates with QuantumScape Company of the United States, focusing on the research of oxide solid electrolyte, and plans to mass-produce solid-state batteries in 2025.

  "The development of all-solid-state lithium batteries in Europe mainly depends on the development of solid electrolytes. At present, the most potential electrolytes are oxides, sulfides and polymers, while borohydride and halide have also made breakthroughs in the last five years, but the advantages and disadvantages of the above-mentioned electrolytes are obvious. At present, only the ionic conductivity of some sulfide electrolytes approaches or exceeds the level of organic liquid electrolytes. Due to problems such as interface, its electrochemical stability is not satisfactory. " Zhang Lin said.

  She emphasized that there is no perfect electrolyte to meet the application requirements at present, so it is necessary to improve all kinds of electrolytes to obtain good comprehensive performance. Basic research and applied research will develop iteratively. Some material systems have begun to enter the application field slowly. The experience gained in the application process will promote the development of basic research. In addition, efforts should continue to be made to explore and discover ionic conductors with new structures. Qualcomm screening calculation combined with experiments will help to discover new compounds.

  In addition, she also said that as far as the oxide solid-state battery is concerned, its electrolyte has relatively high ionic conductivity and stable chemical characteristics, which is not harsh on the preparation environment and easy to be produced and applied on a large scale. However, compared with traditional lithium-ion batteries, the cost of oxide solid-state batteries is still high, and the performance needs some time to improve. Oxide solid-state batteries are most likely to be applied to high-end electric vehicles first, because customers may be willing to pay the premium for solid-state batteries in order to obtain longer cruising range and higher safety.

  When it comes to semi-solid batteries, Zhang Lin said: "At present, solid-state battery enterprises in China mainly choose the research and development route of semi-solid batteries based on solid-liquid mixed electrolytes. Although adding liquid electrolyte may reduce the thermal stability to some extent, the process of mass production of semi-solid batteries with solid-liquid mixed electrolyte is more compatible with the current manufacturing technology and equipment of liquid lithium ion batteries. Considering factors such as materials and equipment, semi-solid batteries are more feasible in the short term and are already on the eve of mass production. "

  Can Europe overtake in corners by developing other new batteries, such as lithium-air batteries or lithium-sulfur batteries? Kay Christian Muller is not optimistic about this. He told the Science and Technology Daily reporter: "These new battery systems are still under development, and there are still many problems when they are introduced to the market. Europe cannot rely on these battery systems to catch up with Asian battery manufacturers. "

  With complementary advantages, China-EU battery industry looks forward to mutually beneficial cooperation.

  The domestic battery industry in Europe is in the process of rapid development. Through policy guidance and cooperation between upstream and downstream enterprises, the battery production capacity in Europe will gradually expand around 2025 and occupy a certain global market share. At the same time, European companies are also seeking the far-reaching layout of the battery industry at different levels. For example, cooperate with battery enterprises through equity investment or joint venture, infiltrate into the upstream mineral resources of power batteries to ensure stable production capacity supply and strengthen the control of industrial chain.

  Take BASF as an example. In August 2021, BASF acquired a 51% stake in Shanshan Energy, a leading lithium battery material company in China, and actively promoted cooperation with battery companies such as Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited and Honeycomb Energy in the field of battery materials and recycling; In Japan and the United States, BASF has established joint ventures with old cathode material supplier Toda Industries. In Europe, BASF has built production bases for cathode active materials and precursors in Germany and Finland. BASF has quietly become one of the world’s leading suppliers of cathode active materials for lithium batteries, not only seizing a strong market advantage, but also becoming the first company with cathode material production capacity in all major markets around the world.

  Let’s look at the German Volkswagen whose strategic goal is to become one of the world’s three largest battery manufacturers. In May 2020, Volkswagen invested about 1.1 billion euros to acquire a 26% stake in China battery factory Shangguoxuan Hi-Tech, becoming the largest shareholder of Guoxuan Hi-Tech. In the first half of 2022, the installed capacity of Guoxuan Hi-Tech power battery was 5.8GWh, ranking eighth in the world. Guoxuan Hi-Tech is developing the first generation of standard batteries for the public. In the battery factory built by Volkswagen, Guoxuan Hi-Tech will cooperate with Volkswagen as a technical partner in the production layout, equipment deployment and production process of the battery factory to help it realize the industrial production of batteries.

  From this perspective, China-EU battery industry is forming a new bond, with capital, technology and market intertwined and deeply integrated. On the one hand, China enterprises have their own advantages in terms of capacity scale, technology maturity and supply chain control ability; On the other hand, Europe is also constantly strengthening the supply capacity of its key products. Strengthening mutually beneficial cooperation between Chinese and European enterprises will help both sides give full play to their respective advantages and take the initiative in the global new energy vehicle market. Looking forward to the future, China and Europe may be the right way to jointly deal with climate change and energy crisis.

LI: It’s a bit difficult to realize the ideal.

This time, LI had a topic because of the new car problem and the withdrawal of shareholders.

 

On December 13th, Sky Eye Information showed that after seven capital increases, Beijing Chehejia Information Technology Co., Ltd., the operating entity of LI, was lowered for the first time, and its registered capital was changed from 915 million yuan to 682 million yuan, a decrease of about 25%, and some investors withdrew.

 

Coincidentally, just after LI’s first new car, Li ONE, was delivered in December, users reported that there were many problems with the new car, including the failure alarm of the instrument panel emission system and the inability to speed up when stepping on the accelerator pedal.

 

For all kinds of problems after the delivery of new cars, LI CEO Li Xiang bluntly said in his personal official Weibo, "It is the greatest help for us to point out problems at the first time. In LI, finding and solving problems is the process of creating value, and concealing problems is suicide."

 

In an interview with the Beijing News reporter, some insiders admitted that they faced various problems at the stage of delivery. Although it had nothing to do with quality, it did leave a bad impression on users.

 

At the same time, the "small episode" of equity change has also made the outside world catch the wind. Some people think that capital changes and shareholders withdraw or prepare for IPO, but LI officials have not responded to this. If it is true, can LI still achieve Li Xiang’s goal of building a car under the circumstances of just delivering and facing problems and pursuing capital realization so quickly?

Rapid response to new car failure

 

On December 3rd, LI officials said that the first batch of new cars had been delivered, and at the same time, Li ONE with Baby Blue body color matching will begin to roll off the assembly line on December 13th.

 

The owners who got the first batch of new cars were not happy for too long, and the new cars had various failures. But the ideal response to the new car problem is also very fast.

 

On December 11th, after a user reported the alarm message of "emission system failure" on the instrument panel of the vehicle, on December 12th, LI immediately responded in its official Weibo that the cause of the instrument panel emission failure alarm was confirmed as "false alarm caused by the self-diagnosis mechanism of the three-way valve of the air conditioning system", and said that it would be solved in the subsequent software upgrade, and such problems would not affect the driving and safety of the vehicle. In addition, LI said that it also found that some vehicles will have false alarms such as parking system and body stability system, and will upgrade the software through OTA next week to solve the problem of false alarms.

 

On the morning of December 16th, a user drove into the expressway after picking up the car from the Hangzhou delivery center. After the adaptive cruise function was released during driving, the vehicle pedaling the accelerator pedal could not speed up. LI once again responded that the reason why the vehicle can’t speed up has been determined that the logistics mode of the vehicle was not completely released before it was delivered to the user, which is a missed inspection error.

 

In this regard, some netizens commented that it is normal for new cars to have bugs, but LI dares to face and solve problems, which is worthy of users’ expectation. However, many users said that this kind of problem appeared just after the new car was delivered, and it was difficult for people to treat it lightly. "This shows that it is still not solid. Security has always been the key to ideal advocacy, but it turned out to be a problem in the battlefield." Some users said.

 

There are many complaints about the delay in delivery.

 

According to the Beijing News reporter, it has been four years and five months since the establishment and delivery of LI, which is definitely one of the enterprises fighting on the long front among the new forces making cars.

 

Shortly before the delivery, LI also received complaints from users because of the delayed delivery. At the end of October, Ideal announced that it would postpone the delivery opening time of Li ONE, the first mass production model, from November this year to December, and directly deliver Li ONE 2020 models to the first batch of users.

 

In view of the reasons for the delayed delivery, LI said that the 2020 product has more upgraded parts. LI promised that the specific delivery time for each user would not exceed one month through the adjustment of the factory’s production capacity.

 

On October 21st, LI will update the estimated delivery time of the specific month according to the locking situation of the reserved users. If the license index expires, it will extend the license index for free.

 

Some car booking users said that many customers who have made small orders and locked orders have fully recognized the previous version of LI after several rounds of iteration, but this upgrade has also caused some customers’ uncertainty and wait-and-see mood. "The newly upgraded part may not necessarily add new users, but the cut place will definitely lose some existing customers." The user said.

 

It is difficult to rely on the new forces of building cars.

 

After several twists and turns in LI, the evaluation of the outside world has become mixed.

 

When the delivery was postponed before, Li Xiang had responded to LI’s "slow efficiency". "It is good for us, and we can see some mistakes made by many previous enterprises. We hope to effectively avoid these pits." Obviously, Li wants to have a clear understanding of what he and LI need and what to do.

 

Some insiders also said that for this industry, it is not a bad thing to spend more time to precipitate cars except that the tuyere is almost gone.

 

But after the delivery, LI will face more problems. The capital problem is the first thing to support the development of enterprises. The data shows that the operating income of LI in 2018 is about 170 million yuan, the net profit is about-719 million yuan, the total assets are about 4.732 billion yuan and the total liabilities are 830 million yuan. As of the first half of this year, LI’s operating income was about 5,277,600 yuan, net profit was about-629 million yuan, total assets were about 5,842 million yuan, and total liabilities were 931 million yuan.

 

However, the registered capital of Beijing Chehejia dropped sharply, and the shareholders of the company withdrew frequently. This makes people doubt the viability of LI’s capital. Some people think that LI’s capital change may pave the way for its overseas IPO. Earlier, it was reported that LI has started the listing of US stocks in 2020, and the IPO scale may be around 500 million US dollars.

 

A financial analyst said in an interview with the Beijing News that if the IPO in LI comes true, it will indeed bring more capital support to enterprises, but it will also bear the risks of company development and stock price fluctuation. Weilai is an example.

 

As its name suggests, LI is an ideal enterprise among the new forces of car making. However, it is not a good sign that users are questioning the products just after delivery. There have been rumors in the industry that there are not many new car-making forces that can survive in the cold winter of the auto market. Whoever can take the lead in IPO will survive. However, for companies that have just taken the first step of delivery, the ideal IPO pace may be a bit big.

Huaxi Zidai Factory was exposed as Japanese capital? The factory admits: But …

On September 20th, the rumor that Hua Xizi’s "Public Relations Collective Resignation" and the letter of apology had nothing to do with the public relations department went on the hot search, which once emphasized that it was an authentic domestic product.

Jiupai Financial Reporter noticed that the product parameters of Huaxizi Balanced Liquid Foundation in Tmall flagship store showed that its manufacturer was Shanghai Dongse Daily Chemical Co., Ltd.. The product is similar in shape to the traditional snuff bottle, and the details page emphasizes its inheritance of "Oriental Rhyme".

According to the data, Shanghai Dongse Daily Chemical Co., Ltd. is 100% wholly-owned by Dongse Cosmetics Co., Ltd., and its chairman and legal representative are Ishihara Jinghong, and its director and general manager are Tamura Keiji, with a registered capital of 3.48 million US dollars. It was established in 1999. The national enterprise credit information publicity system also shows that Shanghai Dongse Daily Chemical Co., Ltd. is a limited liability company (wholly owned by a foreign legal person).

On September 20, Jiupai financial reporters called Shanghai Dongse Daily Chemical Co., Ltd., and the staff said that "Huaxizi Balanced Liquid Foundation is produced by us, and we are a Japanese-funded enterprise; But the factory is in China and the employees are all from China. "

In this regard, Huaxizi customer service responded to the Jiupai financial reporter: "At present, all the products of Huaxizi are manufactured in China, which have been put on record by the government and passed the strict testing of relevant departments."

It is reported that Dongse Group is a well-known Japanese cosmetics pigment related manufacturer, and its production scope covers functional raw materials, powder and liquid makeup, nail polish and skin care. Shanghai Dongse Daily Chemical Co., Ltd. is a cosmetics processing enterprise invested and established in China.

Recently, when Li Jiaqi introduced a Huaxizi eyebrow pencil in 79 yuan during a live broadcast, he saw a netizen leave a message saying that it was getting more and more expensive. He asked, "Where is it expensive? It’s been this price for so many years. Don’t talk nonsense with your eyes open. Domestic brands are difficult … where is it expensive? "

Later, Li Jiaqi said: "Sometimes I look for my own reasons. After so many years, my salary has not risen. Have you worked hard?"

It is this sentence that triggered a heated discussion among netizens.

On September 19th, more than a week after the live broadcast in Li Jiaqi, Weibo, the official of Huaxi Zi, issued an apology statement, saying that he was sorry that we were late. In the past week, the whole network paid great attention to it, and the relevant opinions were fully recorded and being revised according to the opinions of netizens. Some netizens think that Hua Xizi didn’t respond more to the Li Jiaqi incident, and half of the contents in the letter were promoting the brand.

The apology statement is as follows:

Thank you for your attention to Hua Xizi.

I sincerely apologize to all of you. In the past week, Huaxizi has received great attention from the whole network. We are scared and at a loss, and the brand has not spoken before. During this time, we constantly absorbed your criticisms, opinions and suggestions.

I’m very sorry for taking up too many public resources. Thank you for your encouragement. We have fully recorded the relevant opinions, and the team is comparing, revising and upgrading them one by one, adhering to the initial intention, bringing you better products and providing better services.

This large-scale attention and discussion is a valuable opportunity for us to listen to the real voices of different consumers, and it is also the starting point for the team to self-examine and start again. Thank you very much for your attention, whether you have used our products or have never known our partners.

Hua Xizi was founded in Hangzhou, and became attached to Xizi Lake, with Hua as the surname and Xizi as the name. R&D center, production plant, tax payment, etc. are all in China, and it is an out-and-out China brand. "Promoting the beauty of the East and casting a century-old national makeup" is Hua Xizi’s brand vision. Since the development of domestic products, it has been endless. As a young China makeup brand, Hua Xizi hopes to tell the story of China and inherit the beauty of the East.

Just a few words, can’t reply one by one.

In the future, we will continue to share with you what the brand is doing, so that everyone can understand Hua Xizi in more forms.

Down-to-earth, steady and far-reaching; Let a hundred flowers blossom and domestic products become stronger.

After Hua Xizi apologized, some media initiated a vote on "How to treat Hua Xizi’s apology", and 33,000 people participated in the voting before the press release. Among them, 11,000 netizens thought Hua Xizi didn’t respond to the price issue, 5,934 netizens thought it was too late, and nearly 5,648 netizens thought it was more like a brand advertisement.

Revealing the emotional anchor’s skill of collecting money: acting hype, selling miserable goods

  Xinhua News Agency, Jinan, June 2 nd Title: Revealing Emotional Anchor’s Art of Collecting Money: Acting and Speculating, Selling Miserable Goods.

  Xinhua News Agency "Xinhua Viewpoint" reporter

  In Tik Tok, Aauto Quicker and other short video platforms, there are a group of anchors who solve emotional problems for netizens. They can solve complicated contradictions and disputes in daily life in minutes, attracting a large number of middle-aged and elderly viewers.

  A survey by Xinhua Viewpoint reporter found that these emotional anchors often write, direct and play false stories under the guise of "mediation", with the actual purpose of bringing goods. Most of the goods sold are fake and shoddy, which is suspected of fraud.

  Making up stories "selling miserably" has tens of thousands of fans.

  The reporter searched several short video and live broadcast platforms with the keyword "emotional anchor" and found that under the label of "positive energy", the screen was full of incredible ethical stories, such as "my ex-boyfriend took out his kidney for his girlfriend but chose to disappear" and "my husband died for 6 years and met again on the way to work".

  Once you pay attention to an emotional anchor, the platform will continue to push similar emotional anchors. In the live broadcast room, the anchor usually conducts so-called contradiction mediation and dispute settlement in the name of accepting the request of the "client". After the broadcast, the anchor took "everyone likes it to 100,000, so I will contact the client for mediation" as a gimmick, accumulating the audience and popularity in the live broadcast room, and distributing more traffic in the background accordingly.

  From fighting between husband and wife to quarreling between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, from maintenance disputes to child abuse, the drama of "mediating contradictions" by anchors is constantly staged in videos or live broadcasts. Some of the protagonists in the story are terminally ill boys, and some are mothers abused by their children. They have left messages to the emotional anchor for "help" because of their "miserable experiences".

  The anchors sometimes look dignified and sometimes impassioned. After the connection, it only takes a few hours, and seemingly extremely sharp contradictions will always be solved.

  According to the reporter’s investigation, the number of fans of emotional anchors in Tik Tok is more than 10 million, and there are also tens of thousands of fans. Some millions of fans often watch live broadcasts of anchors with more than 100,000 people.

  Not only live broadcast, but also some anchor numbers broadcast "series" in the form of short videos. A Tik Tok named "Dai Sige" has broadcast more than 200 short videos so far, with more than 5.4 million fans and more than 46 million likes, and the highest rating of a single video exceeds 2.8 million.

  The content of "selling badly" has won the trust of a large number of middle-aged and elderly audiences. The helplessness, fear and deception of the parties in the video not only satisfied their curiosity, but also won their sympathy. For example, in the live broadcast room where the plot is "treating the mother", there are barrage screens such as "This girl is so kind", "Too filial", "Help her" and "Help me place an order when my son comes back".

  Wang Xiaoyan, a senior anchor, said that these emotional anchors won by team ability and script plot, and the people and stories were carefully compiled and interpreted.

  The parents of Ms. Yin, a citizen of Nanning, Guangxi, are over 60 years old. Both of them pay attention to a large number of emotional anchors and spend several hours watching these short videos or live broadcasts every day. "They are actually attracted by the dramatic conflicts in these videos. Some anchors have intense emotions, strong inflammatory language and like moral criticism, which is particularly easy for middle-aged and elderly people to become addicted. " Ms. Yin said.

  Some live broadcasts earn tens of thousands of yuan, and the sales are often defective products and no fakes.

  In fact, the emotional anchor interprets the story of "ups and downs" according to the script, creates "conflicts and disputes" and acts as a "mediator", with the ultimate goal of "sucking powder to raise the number", so that fans can bring goods after reaching a certain number.

  An emotional anchor told reporters that the daily income of an ordinary live broadcast room with tens of thousands of fans ranges from several thousand yuan to ten thousand yuan, such as rewards, parking fees with goods and profits with goods. In a live broadcast room with over one million fans, the income can easily reach more than 50 thousand yuan.

  An emotional anchor selling e-books introduced that the total number of fans of his team in Tik Tok and Aauto Quicker is about 3 million, and the team’s income mainly consists of two parts: first, fans reward, which mainly attracts fans to "encourage and support" the plot parties and mediators in the process of resolving emotional disputes; The second is the income from goods, because the cost of selling emotional counseling e-books is almost zero, and the profit is extremely high. The monthly income of its team can reach 1.2 million yuan.

  In order to close the distance, the audience in front of the screen is called "family" by the anchor. "Family, come and want to hear what happened to their mother-in-law relationship. Please pay attention or join a fan group."

  When the reporter entered the Tik Tok named "Colette March for Love", the anchor was broadcasting a "party". With tears in her eyes, the client told the story of being driven out of the house by her mother-in-law, which attracted more than 600 fans to watch in just a few minutes.

  The reporter learned that in the live broadcast room of the anchor, you don’t need to pay any fees to pay attention to the anchor, but to become a "fan" of the anchor, you need to pay a shaking coin worth 0.1 yuan RMB. "After becoming a fan, speak in the live broadcast room, and the user name will be marked with ‘ Family label ’ , become the anchor ‘ Family ’ 。” Tang, an elderly enthusiastic audience of an emotional anchor, said. Being "fans" and "family members" means building trust and close emotional ties with the anchor and being willing to spend money for the anchor.

  After the emotional story is over, there are often many people performing "fake bargaining" in the live broadcast room, and the sales are often defective products and no fakes. Many anchor performances turned against "manufacturers", letting them make profits or even take money, forcing price reduction or reproduction. For example, when they sell cosmetics, daily necessities and jewelry, they "fudge": "They buy things to help more clients solve problems in the live broadcast room", "Factory direct sales, absolute lowest price, genuine products" and "The manufacturer has put a quality guarantee of 200,000 yuan in my place, so the family can rest assured".

  According to some users in Tik Tok, the goods they bought in the live broadcast room of emotional anchor were of poor quality, the goods were not on the right board and the after-sales service was poor. Ms. Liu, a 64-year-old citizen of Jinan, told the reporter that after the goods such as silver ornaments purchased in the live broadcast room were identified as fakes, she repeatedly contacted the customer service and never got a reply. After complaining about the incident in the live broadcast room, she was called "black powder" by the anchor, personally attacked and kicked out of the live broadcast room.

  Recently, a survey conducted by an institution on the experience of the elderly being cheated on the Internet shows that "false advertising" is the most common risk of the elderly when surfing the Internet, accounting for more than 30%. Followed by online fraud, accounting for about 22%. Among different groups of elderly people, the proportion of elderly people living alone in rural areas who are deceived is as high as 90%. In the most common deception scene, "live broadcast, short video" is indispensable.

  Emotional live broadcast forms a complete industrial chain, and the platform should strengthen supervision.

  In March, Tik Tok Security Center issued the "Public Notice on Punishment for Violation of" Selling Miserable Goods and Performing Speculation ",saying that the platform has imposed penalties for violation of regulations on selling miserable goods, fabricating bizarre stories and performing hype, and some anchors mediate emotional disputes, fabricate bizarre stories and use sympathy, with the ultimate goal of bringing goods.

  The reporter’s investigation found that the emotional live broadcast market has formed a relatively complete industrial chain from actors to scripts, from "sucking powder" to bringing goods. Some WeChat WeChat official account even have an article titled "Mai Shou Lian Manual". Mai Shou can communicate with the anchor alone or with many wheat, or find his own partner to temporarily play. The most popular plots include cheating, liking my cousin, rural plots, domestic violence and so on.

  "widely used among anchors ‘ Family ’ Address is emotionally attractive to the audience. Most emotional anchors are biased towards ethics, family disputes, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which is extremely attractive and deceptive to middle-aged and elderly people who lack social interaction. " Zhu Guowei, a professor at the School of Business Administration of Hunan University, said.

  "Emotional anchors sell bad hype by fabricating stories, which has a certain deceptive nature and is suspected of breaking the law." Wang Sixin, deputy dean of the Institute of Community of Human Destiny, Communication University of China, said that relevant parties should intensify efforts to rectify and purify cyberspace.

  Chen Guanwen, a lawyer of Shandong Rizhong Law Firm, said that it is a typical price fraud to induce consumption by performing routines such as "bargaining", falsely raising the price first and then reducing the price at a loss.

  Liu Junhai, a professor at the Law School of Renmin University of China, believes that the platform should strengthen the supervision of commodity quality and price and improve the consumer evaluation mechanism.

  Experts suggest that the relevant regulatory authorities should improve the platform management measures and increase penalties. If the platform fails to fulfill its obligation to review the qualifications of operators, or fails to fulfill its obligation to ensure the safety of consumers, causing damage to consumers, it shall bear corresponding responsibilities according to law.

  Wang Sixin believes that the pace of social life is accelerating, and many middle-aged and elderly people lack children to accompany them, so their emotional needs cannot be met. At the same time, they lack full understanding of new technologies and means, have poor discrimination and are easily confused. The whole society should strengthen the reminder and care for this group. In addition, consumers should actively report the fraud they find, and relevant departments should also increase the punishment for illegal acts. (Reporter Wang Yang, Pan Qiang, Xie Ying, Li Ziwei)

Whether WeChat gives Tik Tok a "bright red card" is a monopoly or unfair competition is controversial.

  A few days ago, Tik Tok said that new users could not log in to Tik Tok normally with the authorization of WeChat, because there was a problem with the login service provided by WeChat open platform, which caused troubles to the common users of Tik Tok and WeChat. According to people close to Tencent, WeChat’s move is "based on platform rules and consideration of protecting users’ privacy".

  At the beginning of the new year, Tik Tok released the video social App "Duoshan", and it was soon discovered that the download link was blocked by WeChat on the grounds that "the webpage contains unsafe content".

  As of press time, Tencent officials did not respond to this matter. However, on January 26th, WeChat issued a notice on "Handling of Recent Induced Violation and Malicious Confrontation", which explicitly prohibited the testing and induced behavior of external links, and specifically named the offending apps including today’s headlines, Tencent’s Didi Chuxing, JD.COM and so on.

  Is it suspected of unfair competition?

  On January 23, the relevant person in charge of Tik Tok said in an interview with the media that WeChat has the value of hydropower infrastructure. At present, there are more than 200 million users who use WeChat accounts to log in to Tik Tok alone. Once WeChat is unilaterally banned, it will have a greater impact on users.

  Cong Lixian, a professor at the School of Intellectual Property of East China University of Political Science and Law, holds different views on the "infrastructure theory". He told the "Legal Daily" reporter that under normal circumstances, basic telecom service providers are considered as basic network service providers. Facebook and Twitter have a very large market share in the United States and have never been recognized as infrastructure.

  Earlier, Zhang Xinnian, a Beijing lawyer, said in an interview with the media that if Tencent unilaterally terminated Tik Tok’s WeChat authorized login, it would be suspected of damaging the normal choice rights of Tik Tok operators and consumers, which could be considered as unfair competition.

  Cong Lixian believes that in the market economy, whether it is compatible with other people’s products or services is usually the result of free competition, and deciding whether it is compatible is also a voluntary choice for operators to maximize their interests. Whether incompatible behavior constitutes unfair competition as stipulated in the Anti-Unfair Competition Law depends on whether the operator is malicious.

  "Based on the protection of personal information and the protection of corporate commercial resources, it is understandable that WeChat carries out necessary management and does not involve malicious incompatibility; Wechat and Tik Tok can still be installed and run on the same device, and they are not compatible. Moreover, in addition to WeChat account, Tik Tok users can also choose to log in to Tik Tok by means of mobile phone number, headline account, etc., not just relying on WeChat account login. " Cong Lixian said that this is a normal enterprise competition, and moral kidnapping should not be used to accuse normal business operations.

  Kong Xiangjun, dean of the Institute of Intellectual Property and Competition Law of Shanghai Jiaotong University, said in an interview with the Legal Daily that compatibility is not only the operator’s choice, but also may be based on various reasonable factors such as safety and efficiency. Compatibility and incompatibility are common phenomena on the Internet, and forced compatibility is not only impossible, but also harmful. We should not only adhere to the principle of freedom of competition, but also limit the scope of "malice".

  "As far as this incident is concerned, if Tik Tok has a variety of options for users’ access channels, a certain platform operator has no obligation to open up. Whether or not to open the platform is usually the freedom of competition of operators, and the law only restricts the competitive behavior of monopoly operators. Wechat’s termination of authorized login will objectively bring inconvenience to Tik Tok users, but this benefit has not yet risen to the legal level, more like a ‘ Reflective interests ’ That is, if it is good to log in with WeChat account, it will cause some inconvenience if it cannot be used. However, this benefit is the reflective benefit brought by the previous login. The benefits felt by the parties are not real benefits, so it is difficult to claim rights. " Kong Xiangjun said.

  Internet industry is cautious about monopoly.

  Accusing the monopoly of WeChat is the voice that the headline department has made many times. The relevant person in charge of headlines once pointed out in an interview with the media: "The core lies in the rapid development of headline products, including Tik Tok, which has shaken Tencent’s monopoly position and commercial interests."

  So, does WeChat’s behavior constitute a monopoly? Article 3 of the anti-monopoly law stipulates that monopolistic behaviors include: the operators reach a monopoly agreement; Operators abuse market dominance; Concentration of operators that have or may have the effect of eliminating or restricting competition.

  Sheng Jiemin, a well-known expert in anti-monopoly law and a professor at Peking University Law School, said in an interview with the reporter of Legal Daily that in fact, the determination of monopoly status is very complicated, and in judicial and law enforcement practice, it is necessary to be very cautious about the determination of "abuse of market dominance" by enterprises.

  "Many people think that a large market share has a monopoly position, but it is not. To judge whether an enterprise has or abuses a dominant market position, many factors must be considered." Sheng Jiemin said that the rapid iteration of the Internet industry determines the criteria for judging dynamic competition rather than static scale. In addition, Internet companies are trying their best to expand their own scale, and the boundaries of related markets are far less clear than those of traditional markets. In this case, more attention should be paid to market entry, market behavior of operators, impact on competition and other factors.

  Cong Lixian also believes that it is difficult to define the scope of the relevant market, whether the specific parties in the relevant market are involved in market dominance, and whether the relevant parties are abusing market dominance. "In view of this incident, WeChat belongs to social software and Tik Tok belongs to short video application, and they actually do not belong to the same relevant market."

  You Yunting, a Shanghai lawyer, told the reporter of Legal Daily that on the issue of monopoly, on the one hand, it depends on whether the operators have a dominant market position, and on the other hand, it depends on whether the consequences of monopolistic behavior have caused subversive changes to the whole competition pattern. "Tencent didn’t block all users in Tik Tok, but just stopped logging in new users’ WeChat accounts, not to mention abusing the dominant market position."

  Xue Jun, deputy dean of Peking University Law School, told the Legal Daily reporter: "Being unable to log in with WeChat account normally will objectively affect the user experience of Tik Tok users, but it is unlikely to have a long-term and obvious effect of eliminating and restricting competition. Because even if Tik Tok users can’t log in with WeChat account, they can log in by other means. It is still necessary to go deep into the specific legal relationship involved by the parties, and not just look at some big things, otherwise it may be biased. "

  "This incident is not entirely a bad thing for Tik Tok. In a sense, it is also an opportunity to test the stickiness of Tik Tok users. Enterprises must have a sense of management and cannot pin their business models on the cooperation of others. " Xue Jun said.

  Information security attracts netizens’ attention

  Although Tik Tok has repeatedly denied "acquiring the WeChat relationship chain" in this storm, the discussion on the relationship chain has not stopped.

  Weibo user "Nutritionist-Guo Lin" said, "My Tik Tok has not been bound to WeChat. Today, I downloaded Duoshan, logged in with Tik Tok, and saw that many friends recommended are WeChat friends … … I feel that Tik Tok is very unsafe. ".

  On January 25th, Zhou Tian Finance reported that the code screenshots obtained from the industry showed that today’s headline adjusted the Cookie of WeChat browser and sent it back to today’s headline server. It is speculated that the headline is likely to obtain the WeChat friend relationship chain in this way. According to the screenshot, the headline extends the life cycle of Cookie in WeChat browser to 10 years, while in the industry, such cycle is usually about a few days.

  Zhu Wei, deputy director of the Communication Law Research Center of China University of Political Science and Law, believes that in the era of big data, respecting users’ right to choose and privacy is an eternal theme. Taking the case of using Sina Weibo user information illegally by Pulse as an example, the court held that protecting user information was an important basis to measure the legitimacy of the operator’s behavior, and finally decided that Pulse constituted unfair competition.

  Zhu Wei said that enterprises should give priority to personal information security and privacy protection from the perspective of users. Secondly, under the framework of laws and regulations, reasonable and proper use of data can bring better product experience to users.

  You Yunting added that in addition to the platform side, users should also raise their awareness of self-protection. They should try to install products from big companies and not install apps from unknown sources. Permissions related to their privacy must be thoroughly understood before choosing whether to agree or disagree, and synchronization functions must not be abused. Reduce the possibility of personal information disclosure through good use. (Reporter Han Dandong Luo Congran)

Frequent accidents, can new energy vehicles be safely driven?

  Xinhua News Agency, Guangzhou, April 27th Question: Frequent accidents, can new energy vehicles be safely driven?

  Xinhua news agency reporter

  From the "roof protection" in Shanghai to the post-accident burning in Guangzhou and other places, recent cases of brake failure and spontaneous combustion have pushed new energy vehicles to the forefront. On the one hand, various capitals have rushed into the new energy automobile industry, and on the other hand, frequent accidents have caused public concern. How to treat safety accidents in the process of rapid development? Where is the key to battery safety? Can new energy vehicles be driven with peace of mind? Xinhua News Agency conducted an investigation.

  Frequent accidents "step on the brakes" for the development of new energy vehicles

  Recently, the rapid development of new energy vehicles has caused frequent accidents, including fire and combustion after the accident, spontaneous combustion caused by batteries, and brake failure.

  On April 17, a Tesla in Zengcheng, Guangzhou, caught fire and burned, and one passenger died. The cause of the accident is still under investigation. On the same day, a Tesla car in Houston, USA, had an accident and caught fire and was burned.

  On April 14th, a Xpeng Motors in Tianhe District of Guangzhou City spontaneously ignited while charging. The company said that the cause of the accident was under investigation.

  The reason for the "brake failure" that caused the focus of public opinion is still unclear. After the "roof rights protection" incident at the Shanghai Auto Show, Tesla was exposed to many cases of brake failure in Hainan and other places. As an iconic enterprise of new energy vehicles, Tesla is facing a crisis of trust.

  As a new thing, it is a fact that technology is immature. In fact, in order to gain the trust of consumers, new energy automobile enterprises need to pay more responsibility, and even need to be tested under a magnifying glass. However, some enterprises’ lack of honest behavior and inadequate services have aggravated public doubts.

  At the end of last year, LI, who was deeply trapped in the "broken axle door", had to publish a letter of apology and announce the recall of the faulty car after trying to cover up the quality defect of the ball pin of the lower arm of the front suspension of his car with "hardware optimization and upgrade".

  Tesla once aroused public anger because of his arrogant attitude. After the "roof rights protection" incident, Tesla accused the car owners involved of "contributing too much negative" and claimed that the company had tried its best to solve the problem, and the car owners’ demands were unreasonable and the company would never compromise. However, it was immediately revealed that it refused to provide complete driving data half an hour before the vehicle accident. The China Consumers Association said that the primary premise of business operation is to respect consumers, and enterprises with data should use professional knowledge to conduct strict self-examination, instead of turning technological advantages into obstacles to solving problems. After that, the companies involved provided data.

  Many insiders said that according to the existing statistics, the fire accident rate of new energy vehicles is lower than that of traditional fuel vehicles. However, as a national strategic emerging industry and the direction of future transportation transformation and development, the public is highly concerned and sensitive about this, which psychologically magnifies the sense of insecurity. These accidents can, to a certain extent, cool down the "high fever" new energy automobile industry and make the industry develop more healthily.

  Growing pains: high nickel risk under long battery life

  Why is the battery "easy to destroy"? Wang Wei, chairman of Xinwangda Electronics Co., Ltd. believes that it is difficult to put out a large-capacity power battery after it catches fire and the risk of re-ignition is high, which is the pain point of the development of new energy vehicles.

  Under the background of "mileage anxiety" and "endurance anxiety" in the industry, long endurance has become the number one task in the industry. At present, there are two main technical routes to solve this problem, namely ternary li-polymer and lithium iron phosphate battery.

  As a widely used product, the main function of nickel in ternary li-polymer is to improve the energy density, that is, the unit storage capacity. In order to improve the cruising range, the proportion of nickel in the battery cathode material is getting higher and higher, and the ratio with cobalt and manganese is increased from 1:1:1 to 5:2:3, then to 6:2:2, and finally to 8:1:1.

  Zhang Ming, general manager of Zhuhai Zhongli New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. said: "The thermal stability of high nickel ternary materials is poor. The higher the nickel content, the higher the energy density of the battery, but at the same time the higher the risk of thermal runaway of the battery. "

  Respondents said that multi-path research and development of battery technology can be encouraged. After all, new energy vehicles are still a new track, whether it is ternary lithium batteries, lithium iron phosphate batteries or other batteries, as long as they meet the conditions of China’s resource endowment and safety standards, they can all be active.

  "However, it is necessary to be alert to the unilateral pursuit of high energy density by power batteries, and to eliminate mileage anxiety on the surface. In fact, many technologies have not been fully verified and commercialized." Liang Rui, vice president of Xinwangda Electronics Co., Ltd. said.

  Standards such as "Safety Requirements for Power Batteries for Electric Vehicles" issued in May last year require that the battery system will not catch fire or explode within 5 minutes after the thermal runaway of the battery monomer occurs, leaving escape time. Li Yunfei, general manager of BYD’s brand and public relations division, believes that five minutes is still insufficient in the face of the situation that the car door may be damaged and difficult to open after the accident. If it can reach half an hour, it will be more secure.

  Fill the "blind spot" of system detection and eliminate potential risks

  At present, there are about 5 million new energy vehicles in China, which will increase rapidly in the future. Power battery and system risks should not be underestimated.

  The safety accident that happened in Zengcheng, Guangzhou on April 17th even led to the debate about Tesla AP function (automatic assisted driving) "grabbing the steering wheel". Some car owners broke the news one after another, saying that the automatic driving of existing new energy vehicles sometimes happens when they suddenly quit at the corner, which directly refers to the safety of the electronic control system.

  Zhang Ming said that the fundamental difference from traditional fuel vehicles is that the electronic control system of new energy vehicles is a key link in operation. If there is no professional system testing organization and no automobile enterprise to provide corresponding driving data as support, only the hardware of new energy vehicles will be tested, and the result may be "no abnormality", which may actually hide risks.

  People in the industry suggest that policy adaptability should be improved, and a standard system for testing and evaluation of new energy vehicles should be established. "Annual review" and daily maintenance should be included in the performance testing of power batteries. "The" Regulations on the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People’s Republic of China "requires that cars must be inspected annually, but the current testing indicators are all aimed at traditional fuel vehicles." Zhang Ming said that there is no specific "annual inspection" standard for new energy vehicles such as pure electric vehicles, and it is necessary to formulate standards for passing the annual inspection and the entry threshold for the annual inspection units.

  "Pure electric new energy vehicles can only detect systems such as appearance, chassis, lighting and braking at the inspection station. However, key power battery packs and other components cannot be disassembled, which involves issues such as responsibility attribution and technical confidentiality of enterprises. " Zhang Ming said.

  At present, intelligent networked cars are changing from vehicles to mobile intelligent terminals, energy storage units and digital spaces. There are hundreds of sensors on a car, which produces a huge amount of car data, user data, road network data and so on. How to store data, transmit data and use data has become a major issue that regulators, vehicle manufacturers and data companies must face.

  "Data is becoming the core secret of intelligent networked vehicles, and it is impossible for enterprises to provide all data to the regulatory authorities. But if the data of the regulatory authorities are not mastered, how can we supervise them? How to support the testing ability of public testing institutions? " Hu Yixiang, vice president of Guangdong Guanghua Technology Co., Ltd. said. (Reporter Zhou Qiang, Wu Tao, Sun Fei, Yin Peng, Li Jiale)

How many dangers are hidden in the popular "partner culture" among young people?

Hello, I’m Grape ~

In recent years, a "partner culture" has become popular. When searching on the Internet and social platforms, all kinds of partner-seeking stickers will appear: travel partner, game partner, weight-loss partner, fishing partner, fitness partner, music festival partner … anything you can.

Besides finding partners, the Internet is a good place for young people to make friends and fall in love, but it is precisely because of the convenience of the Internet that this young culture and way of making friends are popular, and its potential risks also follow.

Because most online friends and love will move to the offline base and rush. And leaving the false online world, the perfect ta in your impression may reveal its true face, or even have ulterior motives …

Today’s safety guide for girls, let’s talk about the risks and precautions of offline foundation!

Possible risks of sub-line base

* No one was killed with a stick, just talk about the possible risks and remind everyone!

Under the line, the base can’t match the number, but it threatens personal safety. Not only offline, but also online communication stage, the risk already exists.

information security

Presumably, everyone knows that the identity information provided by these partners and netizens is probably false, right?

In the public identity information, ta’s information may be false from beginning to end, and the age, occupation, gender, hobbies and even photos are all processed. The person you are facing is an artificial setup made up by ta by all means, which is not the real situation. And naive you, all the real information revealed out …

A friend will say, "Who is so stupid that he will reveal his true information? 」

You know, even if you are vigilant, the other party may lock you in through the dynamics published by your circle of friends and social platforms. There are some bad situations, such as home address being leaked, information being hijacked, photos being abused, etc …

And looking for a travel partner offline, it is inevitable to buy tickets to travel together, and then your identity information may be stolen.

personal security

There is no need to explain too much about personal safety. If you encounter a pervert or a trafficker, you will face sexual assault, trafficking, and even deception to North Myanmar …

You may feel a little alarmist, but similar incidents did happen. When searching for relevant information, a post caught the attention of grapes:

A netizen posted an article titled "Attention, 2003 girls who want to meet netizens in Huizhou!"! The content of the post is a screenshot of netizens chatting in a group. From it, we can see that the netizen S in the group chat is promoting his little sister who is about to meet him, claiming that "the chat has been paved and the hotel has been opened in 2003 …"

In other words, the so-called noodle base is just a trap carefully designed by this person, just waiting for the other party to take the bait. Once the swindler’s plot succeeds, the girl will face great harm, and this is just one of them. We dare not imagine how many such scams and injuries there are in the world.

In addition, there is a noteworthy place in this post. Netizen S also posted the video of Xiaomei to the group, and then it was discovered by the majority of netizens that this video was not Xiaomei herself, and the real protagonist of the video was a girl who had nothing to do with this matter. The girl said: The video she sent to her circle of friends was stolen. This also confirms the information security problem we mentioned earlier.

In addition to being sexually assaulted, you may also be trafficked and deceived to northern Myanmar.

Recently, the events in northern Myanmar have been frequently searched, including journalists who went to expose the truth regardless of the danger, and witnesses who survived. Their reports and memories showed the terrible and unscrupulous fraud gangs in northern Myanmar to the public, and also let us know that many people have not escaped. When they first went to North Myanmar, except for expecting high-paying jobs to take the initiative, the rest were basically cheated by relatives and friends.

Once cheated, violent beatings, personal control, rape and sexual assault, forced drug use … these inhuman treatments are all possible. If you think it’s far away from you and you can’t be deceived to North Myanmar, then the next fact is closer.

That is: the person you are chatting with and falling in love with is probably a person who specializes in fraud. As the other person gets to know your information step by step and gains your goodwill day by day, maybe fraud is close at hand.

property safety

According to the witness who fled from northern Myanmar, the companies there are engaged in the fraud work aimed at domestic women, playing games, falling in love with women and cheating money, commonly known as "killing pigs".

The other party may induce you under the guise of investing together, or directly ask for borrowing money and helping to order a link, and finally lose both money and people.

In a word, danger is everywhere. So how should we avoid these dangers?

Matters needing attention in face base

Grapes have compiled some precautions for your reference ~

Mianjiqian

1. Avoid money transactions when communicating, and don’t click on the link sent by the other party easily;

2. Do not disclose personal home address, company and other specific information;

3. Agree on the time and place of the noodle base, choose daytime as the time, and choose a crowded and familiar big business district as the place;

4. Inform your family and friends of the purpose, time and place of this trip in advance, set up danger signals (such as sending specific numbers, stipulating the time limit for replying messages, etc.), and ensure that someone knows your whereabouts and safety;

5. Set an alarm clock in advance, and you can leave by answering the phone when you feel uncomfortable.

6. Prepare protective articles such as anti-wolf spray, just in case.

Face-based time

1. Keep close contact with family and friends;

2. Be wary of the other party’s request to get along alone in a private space (such as ktv, private cinema, car);

3. Mention the details of online communication and verify whether the other party is an online communicator;

4. Don’t eat and drink the food and drinks provided by the other party easily, especially those opened in advance and far away from your sight;

5. Carry important items such as bags with you;

6. Consumption AA generated by noodle base.

Mianjihou

1. Be alert to the other party’s request to send you home;

2. Evaluate whether the other party meets your expectations. Even if you feel good, don’t blindly trust;

3. We should still be vigilant. It is not excluded that some swindlers "catch big fish in a long line" and pay attention to safety when they meet later.

That’s all the precautions grapes thought of. After all, a person’s strength is limited, so we also collected suggestions from readers. Let’s take a look ~

Motu soil

First, there must be a video call to avoid cheating, even in the case of developed AI technology; Second, we must know more about each other’s information, and feel each other’s views on family and friends from the process of talking with each other, so that we can know whether some of their personalities are consistent with ourselves; Third, the site must be open; Fourth, if there is anything that makes you uncomfortable before and during the dough-making, you can find an excuse to leave. You must be vigilant and don’t blindly trust each other. As long as you feel uncomfortable, there must be something wrong.

If the other person is tempted to touch the color, please call loudly to attract the attention of the people around you, and then grab the things and run away.

Icarus

Dabaibai

I have seen more than a dozen male netizens who have met in games, and I have some precautions to share with you: when meeting, I should choose someone who has known each other for a long time and is close to my age; Don’t treat netizens as real friends, unless the relationship has reached the point where there is nothing to say, after all, the network will still hide its true self more or less; When you meet for the first time, you must choose a place with high safety factor.

Ask about the motivation of making friends first, although the other person may not say what he really thinks, and at the same time clearly express his attitude. When meeting for the first time, it’s best to explain in advance the time you want to end or reveal the schedule behind you. Don’t procrastinate too much. Even if you feel good, you should have moderate contact.

bean-starch jelly

to one’s heart’s content

Meet alone only with the same sex. If there is the opposite sex, it must be a group of people with the same sex that they trust. Do not meet minors alone; Don’t go to KTV and other places when you meet for the first time, and don’t drink; Know each other long enough to meet again; As for the exhibition/concert and other activities, it is just a simple meeting, which has little impact.

Have a certain understanding in front of the noodle base, be sure to meet in public places, and never stay too late with the noodle base object casually, and don’t follow the noodle base object to remote places! No matter whether the target is old people, children or women, no matter how safe and powerful you think you are, people’s hearts are unpredictable. Protect yourself in case you regret it.

light rain

Ok, that’s all for this issue ~

Let’s make it clear that not all scammers are encountered on the Internet, but many scammers are hidden on the Internet. This article just reminds everyone that I hope we will not meet them!

Good morning, I love this world.

Geely Automobile Executives: I am confident to return to the first place in automobile national brand sales, but I still need time to work hard.

IT House reported on March 20th that at the 2023 performance conference of Geely Automobile Holdings Limited this afternoon, Gui Shengyue, chief executive officer and executive director of Geely Automobile Holdings Limited, said that Geely was confident to return to China as the national brand of automobiles, but it still needed time to make efforts in various market segments.

Gui Shengyue said that BYD is excellent and needs to learn from it, but not all of them are worse than them. Geely is also excellent in some market segments. At the same time, he also said that the sales volume of Krypton in Hangzhou has surpassed that of Tesla, and within two years, it will become the first luxury electric car brand with a price of over 300,000 yuan in China. "New forces for many years, why didn’t you do it? In the future, we will steadily surpass in various market segments. "

Gui Shengyue also denied the idea of giving up fuel vehicles. Geely’s transformation to new energy resources should be "balanced development", and new energy resources must be the ultimate goal, but it will take a long time in the end. Some European countries and regions have also made statements according to the industry situation.

According to the report of IT House earlier today, Yang Xueliang, senior vice president of Geely Holding Group, disclosed the product planning of Geely Automobile in 2024.

Geely brand: Galaxy mainstream pure electric SUV, compact pure electric SUV and Galaxy mainstream plug-in hybrid SUV.

Extreme krypton brand: extreme krypton Mix, medium and large luxury pure electric SUV, top luxury pure electric MPV.

Lingke brand: Lingke 07 EM-P, medium and large pure electric flagship car, compact pure electric SUV.
