The Middle East in 2016： Another Year in Danger

Conflict and turmoil are still the key words in the Middle East in 2016, and ethnic and religious contradictions are constantly intertwined with the game between big countries inside and outside the region. After the long-term turmoil in the Middle East, development and stability have become the common aspiration of countries and people in the Middle East, especially the desire of Arab countries to avoid chaos and seek governance is even stronger. People’s determination, avoiding chaos, seeking governance and development may be the hope of turbulent Middle East.

The situation in the Middle East in 2016 continued the basic characteristics of the interweaving of transformation and turmoil since the Middle East changed. On the one hand, the turmoil in the Middle East continues to deepen, spread and spill over, which is highlighted by the crisis of breaking diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran, the deepening of the game between the great powers of the United States and Russia, the attempted coup in Turkey, the many large-scale terrorist attacks launched by the Islamic State in Europe and the Middle East, the difficult anti-terrorism struggle against the Islamic State, the stalemate in the political settlement of the Syrian issue, the rising Kurdish issue, the continued low oil prices, and the difficult transition of countries in the Middle East. On the other hand, the Middle East, which has experienced long-term turmoil, has also seen a chance to seek governance in chaos. From a regional perspective, despite the deepening of the game between big countries inside and outside the region, the consensus on politically solving regional hot issues such as the Syrian crisis, jointly coping with the terrorism and refugee crisis, and strengthening international cooperation against the "Islamic State" has been enhanced; From the national level, the transition process of the Middle East countries is still very difficult, but it is becoming the common aspiration of the countries and people in the region to be determined, avoid chaos and seek governance and development.

The game between the great powers of the United States and Russia has deepened.

But it did not move towards full-scale confrontation.

On the global strategic level, the fundamental reason for the continued deepening of the Middle East turmoil in 2016 lies in the adjustment of the Middle East strategy of the United States and Russia and the complex game between them. However, the relationship between them is in a state of limited confrontation, competition and cooperation, and it has not moved towards a large-scale comprehensive confrontation.

Overall contraction and controllable leadership constitute the basic characteristics of American Middle East strategy, which is the fundamental reason why the United States has relaxed its Syrian policy, eased its relations with Iran and limited its investment in cracking down on "Islamic State". While the United States is relatively retreating, Russia has stepped up its involvement in Middle East affairs by attacking the "Islamic State" militarily to help the Bashar regime in Syria, increasing its strategic investment in regional powers such as Iran and Egypt, and taking the Middle East as the main direction to break through the strategic dilemma after the Ukrainian crisis. The strategic situation of the United States retreating from Russia and the contradictions between the two sides around the Syrian crisis, the fight against the "Islamic State" and the struggle for regional power all complicate the regional hot issues and the differentiation and combination of regional forces, making the Middle East issue an important part of Medvedev’s so-called "new cold war".

But at the same time, we should also see that Russia’s strategic investment in the Middle East is still a limited investment based on local interests, and Russia does not yet have the strength and willingness to compete with the United States and the West for the Middle East in an all-round way. Therefore, the game between the United States and Russia in the Middle East is limited and controllable. There is still room for cooperation and interest exchange between the two sides on the Syrian issue and the fight against the "Islamic State", and the relationship between the two sides has not moved towards a comprehensive large-scale confrontation. The situation of US-Russian relations in 2016 shows that the two sides have had frequent interactions around the Syrian issue and the fight against the "Islamic State". The two sides even reached a ceasefire agreement on the Syrian crisis in September 2016, which shows that the two sides have a willingness to cooperate, but due to serious differences, the ceasefire agreement quickly fell through. Subsequently, the two sides vetoed each other at the UN Security Council in October, so that the draft resolutions on Syria proposed by France, Spain and Russia were not passed, which shows the deep differences between the two sides. Judging from the future development trend, the United States and Russia will fight for a political solution to the Syrian issue, crack down on the "Islamic State" and actively strive for regional powers, but the two sides will also carry out limited cooperation around regional hot issues.

The regional pattern continues to be unbalanced,

However, it is difficult for any regional power to dominate.

From the perspective of the pattern of the Middle East, the root of the current chaos in the Middle East lies in the drastic changes in the Middle East, the strategic adjustment of the United States in the Middle East, the sudden emergence of the "Islamic State" and other factors, which have made it difficult to rebuild the regional pattern and never form a relatively stable balance of power structure. In 2016, the imbalance of the pattern in the Middle East was further aggravated, which was highlighted by the continuous deterioration of the strategic environment of Turkey and Saudi Arabia, and the ambition of their great powers was continuously frustrated by internal and external difficulties.

First of all, the geopolitical, ethnic and sectarian confrontation between the two camps with Saudi Arabia and Iran as the core has become increasingly solid, but the confrontation between the two sides is more agent competition and has not moved towards a comprehensive direct confrontation. In the past few years, Saudi Arabia and Iran have launched a continuous agency competition around Bahrain, Syria, Iraq and Yemen. At the beginning of 2016, the crisis of breaking diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran led to the openness and factionalization of confrontation between the two sides. The contradiction between the two sides was not a simple sectarian contradiction, but a superposition of three major contradictions: the geopolitical contradiction for regional dominance, the Arab-Persian contradiction, and the Sunni-Shia contradiction. The confrontation between the two sides presents a "new normal" of constant discord but not going to war, and the countries in the Middle East are gradually divided into Saudi camp, Iranian camp and middle camp. After the sanctions were lifted, Iran’s rising momentum became more and more obvious, but it was still difficult to get out of the predicament of long-term sanctions in a short time. For Saudi Arabia, although its status as a big country still exists, it has fallen into serious strategic anxiety due to the rise of Iran, the impact of low oil prices, diplomatic difficulties and the retrogression of Saudi-American allies.

Secondly, Turkey attacked from all sides based on multiple goals such as seeking great power status, competing for regional dominance, and solving the domestic Kurdish issue, but its great power ambition was seriously frustrated in 2016. In recent years, Turkey has made bad relations with Israel on the Palestinian-Israeli issue, wrestled with Iran on the Syrian issue, fought with the Egyptian Sethi regime on the Muslim Brotherhood issue, clashed with Iraq and Syria on the Kurdish issue, played a game with Russia on the Syrian issue and the fight against the "Islamic State", and even competed with Saudi Arabia on the issue of Sunni dominance and Islamic world dominance, and played more negative roles. In 2016, Turkey was deeply impacted by the attempted coup, the Kurdish issue, frequent terrorist attacks and other issues. With the early scenery of the "Arab Spring" no longer, Turkey’s diplomacy has become cautious and restrained.

Finally, the traditional regional powers have different powers, and their power restructuring is far from in place. Although the status of Egypt and Israel cannot be underestimated, it is difficult for them to make great achievements. Judging from the comparative situation of the five regional fulcrum countries, namely Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey and Israel, except for the above-mentioned Iran, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, Egypt’s status has greatly declined due to domestic turmoil and economic sluggishness, but the Sethi regime is seeking to revitalize Egypt’s status as a regional power. Israel’s security environment has been greatly improved, and its economic and scientific strength has made it an alternative stable country among the major powers in the Middle East. However, apart from adopting a more stubborn and conservative policy on the Palestinian-Israeli issue, Israel simply does not have the conditions and ability to lead regional affairs.

In short, in the current regional structure, the unfavorable position of major powers is further highlighted, and it is difficult for all parties to dominate regional affairs. Its positive impact is that the foreign strategies of major powers will tend to be cautious and rational, creating conditions for political solutions to regional hot issues; Its negative impact is that the continued imbalance of regional pattern will lead to the aggravation of regional disorder and seriously affect regional security and stability.

The transformation of Middle East countries is difficult.

But seeking development and stability has become the general trend.

Generally speaking, there are three types of countries in the Middle East: first, countries governed by chaos, represented by Egypt and Tunisia, whose overall situation is that although their situation has improved, their prospects are still not optimistic. To a large extent, they have only initially completed the task of maintaining national stability, but they are far from finding a suitable development path; Second, countries with persistent turmoil, such as Syria, Yemen, Libya and Iraq, are still in serious turmoil, and national reconstruction is seriously hindered; Third, most other Middle Eastern countries facing the pressure of transformation are solving long-standing problems through political and economic reforms and enhancing their national governance capacity.

The above three types of countries are all facing heavy transformation pressure. The important task of a country ruled by chaos lies in exploring the development path and development model. The key task of a country with serious turmoil lies in achieving stability at an early date, while the important task of a country facing transformation pressure lies in alleviating and releasing contradictions through reform and avoiding repeating the mistakes of the "Arab Spring" through development and transformation. For the first two types of countries, 2016 is still in a stalemate where transformation and turmoil are intertwined, and there is no new breakthrough; There are two noteworthy phenomena in countries facing the pressure of transformation, that is, Gulf Arab countries are actively promoting the transformation of national economic development, and the attempted coup in Turkey has exposed the profound pressure they are facing. However, from the perspective of the whole region, it is becoming the common aspiration of the countries and people in the region to be calm, avoid chaos and seek governance and development.

First of all, the GCC countries represented by Saudi Arabia, which are traditional energy powers, are actively exploring national transformation and trying to get rid of a single economic structure by implementing medium-and long-term economic plans. In 2016, Saudi Arabia put forward the "Vision 2030" plan, the United Arab Emirates formulated the "Strategic Plan 2021" and Qatar also formulated the "National Development Plan 2030", trying to get rid of dependence on oil and realize diversified economic development, but its prospects remain to be seen.

Secondly, the attempted coup reflects the deep-seated contradictions and crises in Turkey. In 2016, the slowdown in economic growth, frequent terrorist attacks, Erdogan’s forced presidential system, deepening diplomatic difficulties and the attempted coup all indicate that Turkey’s prosperity and stability in the past decade or so since the Justice and Development Party came to power are changing. At present, the contradictions between secularism and religion, state and society, authoritarianism and democracy, army and government, nation and religion, and nation and ethnicity constitute the main problems facing Turkey in the current transformation process. Turkey’s political, economic and social development has entered a period of profound adjustment and transformation, and may fall into the double predicament of economic recession and political turmoil.

Finally, after the long-term turmoil since the Middle East changed, development and stability have become the common aspiration of countries and people in the Middle East, especially the desire of Arab countries to avoid chaos and seek governance is even stronger. According to some opinion polls, due to the long-term political turmoil, extremism and terrorism, and the sustained economic downturn, both the Arab people and the intellectual elite have lost confidence in the so-called "Arab Spring" and are strongly eager for the country to achieve political stability and economic development. For example, a survey called "Arab Public Opinion Index" shows that the proportion of Arabs who have a positive attitude towards the "Arab Spring" has dropped from 61% in 2013 to 34% in 2015. According to the data of the Arab Youth Survey in 2016, 53% of Arab youth believe that stability is more important than democracy, while only 28% hold the opposite attitude. Therefore, people’s determination, avoiding chaos, seeking governance and development are increasingly becoming the common aspiration of countries and people in the Middle East, which may be the hope of turbulent Middle East.

The cheapest Land Rover Discovery-Land Rover Discovery 2.0T

Explore the most affordable land rover discovery-2.0t version. Although it may seem a bit trite, the release of this brand-new model has indeed brought benefits to consumers. Compared with the entry-level model of the previous generation, it upgraded the power system from 3.0V6 supercharged to 2.0T turbocharged, and the price also dropped from 798,000 yuan to 688,000 yuan, saving 110,000 yuan. As the most popular discovery model on the market at present, this 2.0T discovery is undoubtedly a cost-effective leap.

Appearance, this 2.0T discovery continues the design of the old model, and the retention of all LED headlights highlights sincerity. Although the tail design continues the asymmetrical style, Land Rover’s tail nameplate has been updated as a substitute for Si6, while the hidden exhaust shows a low-key elegance. In terms of interior, although it is similar to the discovery of Shenxing, the upgrade of instrument panel is the highlight. The 10.2-inch large screen is matched with InControl in-vehicle system, which provides an intuitive display of four-wheel drive power distribution and suspension information.

However, for off-road enthusiasts, the off-road configuration found in the entry version is a little regrettable, and the differential lock function is cancelled, especially the lack of rock mode and low-speed four-wheel drive, which reduces the extreme off-road performance. However, the standard air suspension still provides some comfort for drivers, which can make up for the lack of dynamic performance and improve the ability to get out of trouble. Nevertheless, for users who are less than 1.65 meters tall, it may be inconvenient to rise to the highest level.

路虎发现

On the road, the discovery with 2.0T engine is excellent, with strong power and ride comfort exceeding that of hard-core off-road vehicles, but the steering feel is fuzzy, which may not meet the needs of urban driving. Despite the attraction of falling prices, consumers need to weigh the lost off-road configuration, such as 40 horsepower and central speedometer locking. For consumers with limited budget but pursuing large SUVs of luxury brands, this entry-level version is a worthy choice. In view of the preferential strength of Jaguar Land Rover, if there is another discount of about 100,000 yuan, its cost performance will be even more amazing.

Roy apologizes for smoking in restaurants. Reporters visited some restaurants to persuade smoking records to be displayed

Yesterday, it was reported on the Internet that Roy, an artist, was smoking in a Japanese restaurant in Gongti during a recent dinner. Yesterday afternoon, Roy publicly apologized for this matter in Weibo, saying that he "made a wrong demonstration" and "will bear the corresponding responsibilities and accept the punishment".

Yesterday afternoon, Beijing Chaoyang District Health Supervision Institute inspected the restaurant "Tong Sushi" and found that the restaurant did not have a no-smoking sign and no corresponding no-smoking management system. It ordered the restaurant to make corrections within a time limit and will punish Roy.

Yesterday afternoon, the law enforcement officers of Chaoyang District Health Supervision Institute went to Roy’s smoking restaurant for inspection and asked the person in charge of the restaurant.

Roy apologized for being accused of smoking in the restaurant.

Yesterday morning, Sohu Entertainment announced in the official Weibo that Roy and other artists were gathering in a Japanese restaurant in Gongti. "Roy smokes frequently, and the gathering atmosphere is super happy." Following the news, there are several close-ups of smoking in Roy.

It is reported that Roy, one of the three members of TFBOYS, a well-known male singing group in China, has a very high popularity and just turned 18 last November. So as soon as the news came out, the public quickly turned their attention to "smoking in Roy". Zhang Jianshu, president of Beijing Tobacco Control Association, said that Roy violated Beijing tobacco control regulations, and public figures should pay attention to the social impact. He hoped that Roy would apologize publicly.

At the same time, many netizens pointed out that the Japanese restaurant was "Tong Sushi", and some netizens said that "Roy’s smoking posture is quite skillful" and accused Roy of smoking in public places, which was suspected of violating the Beijing Regulations on Smoking Control.

At 2: 44 pm yesterday, Roy publicly apologized for this incident at the Weibo, saying, "This incident made me deeply reflect on my behavior, and I feel very sorry and guilty about the adverse social impact I caused. I am sorry that I made a wrong demonstration, and I will bear the corresponding responsibilities and accept the punishment. As a public figure, I will definitely pay more attention to my words and deeds in the future. I hope that everyone will not follow my wrong behavior. "

After the inspection, Chaoyang District Health Supervision Office issued a health administrative law enforcement document, which was signed by the person in charge of the store for confirmation. Beijing News reporter Zhou’s photo 　 　

Chaoyang Health Supervision Institute ordered the restaurant to be rectified, which will punish Roy.

Beijing Chaoyang District Health Supervision Institute also gave feedback on the issue of "smoking in public places in Roy" in the official Weibo, saying that if it is true, it will be punished according to law.

Subsequently, the Chaoyang District Health Supervision Institute conducted a law enforcement inspection on "Tong Sushi" located near the Workers’ Gymnasium. On-site inspection by law enforcement officers found that there was no sign of no smoking in the restaurant, and there was no corresponding no smoking management system, which violated the relevant requirements. Chaoyang District Health Supervision Office ordered the restaurant to make corrections within a time limit, and if there are still problems during the rectification period, it will be dealt with according to law.

A front-line health supervisor of Chaoyang District Health Supervision Institute told the reporter that the investigation will be conducted in combination with video materials and the store’s statement. If the waiter finds out but does not dissuade him, the restaurant will face a fine of 5,000-10,000 yuan. For Roy himself, if he stops smoking after smoking, he will be fined 50 yuan. If he does not listen to dissuasion, he will be fined 200 yuan. "It is difficult to find the responsible person for smoking in public places. As a public figure, Roy himself or his company should take the initiative to come to the office.

The Regulations of Beijing Municipality on the Control of Smoking stipulates that smoking is prohibited in public places, indoor areas of workplaces and public transport. In response to this matter, Chaoyang District Health Supervision Institute called on all industries to act positively, fulfill their duties of tobacco control, actively support tobacco control work, reduce the harm of smoking, and jointly safeguard a healthy Beijing.

■ follow-up visit

The restaurant involved admitted that Roy did not see his smoking when he was eating.

Yesterday afternoon, the reporter went to the restaurant "Tong Sushi" and needed to open two induction doors to enter the formal dining area. Except for a public dining bar in the hall, the rest were private rooms with good privacy. The waiter in the store said that there will be different chefs offering different menus every day, so there is no fixed menu, and per capita consumption depends on individual ordering.

Manager Peng Xiaojuan said that on the day of the incident, Roy and his party entered the restaurant wearing masks. A waiter told reporters that Roy and his party were dining in the "Xinnong" private room of the restaurant. There is a floor-to-ceiling glass door in the "Xinnong" private room, and there is a small terrace outside, where guests can smoke. But the reporter didn’t see the no-smoking sign in the private room.

Another waiter told the reporter that the waiter will not enter the private room without authorization except for delivering food. There is a pager in the private room. If the guest needs it, the waiter can enter only after ringing the bell. She also said that if they saw guests smoking, they would discourage them, but when they went in to deliver food that day, they didn’t see Roy or anyone else smoking.

Regarding why Roy’s smoking behavior was not discouraged at the time of the incident, Peng Xiaojuan, the manager of the restaurant, said that there was only monitoring around the public dining area and corridor in the store, and there was a blind spot because there was no camera installed in the private room for privacy, so it was not discovered in time and discouraged.

No-smoking signs will be posted in the restaurants involved to discourage smokers.

Peng Xiaojuan, the store manager, said that no smoking sign was posted in the store because of the aesthetic consideration of decoration. The staff in the store will remind the indoor public places that smoking is not suitable when consumers ask for "an ashtray". If consumers have started smoking, they will also persuade them, "A strong desire to smoke will make guests go to the terrace or smoke outside."

"Such news in the restaurant has dealt a great blow to our image." Peng Xiaojuan said that at present, the scores of restaurants on various food review platforms are declining. "Even if it was originally five stars, it will be changed to one star." Many people called the restaurant. "I didn’t expect the restaurant to appear in front of everyone with such an image."

Peng Xiaojuan said that they will post a no-smoking sign in the restaurant in the near future, and at the same time ask the waiter to be more firm and tough in the face of smokers. "If the guest doesn’t listen to dissuasion, we will ask him to leave the restaurant, preferring not to have this guest."

The public found someone smoking in the no-smoking area, reporting method: call 12320; Complain through "Smoke-free Beijing" WeChat WeChat official account

"Smoking in restaurants in Roy" has once again aroused public concern about smoking ban in public places. The Regulations on the Control of Smoking in Beijing, which came into effect on June 1, 2015, clearly stipulates that smoking is prohibited in public places, indoor environments in workplaces, outdoor queues and other occasions.

The regulations have been in force for nearly four years. Yesterday afternoon, the reporter visited a number of restaurants, including fast food restaurants and high-end restaurants with good privacy. Almost all of these restaurants have no smoking signs, but the attitudes of shop assistants to dissuade smokers are different. Some shops are persistent in persuasion, and some shops say that they will give up after two or three times of persuasion, "fearing conflicts."

In addition, the Beijing News reporter also visited Beijing Railway Station, and found that despite the strong control, smokers always have all kinds of "clever tricks" to avoid inspection, cigarette butts can be seen everywhere, and it is difficult for sanitation workers to clean up.

Some restaurants explicitly prohibit smoking and will discourage smokers when they see them.

Liu Ji Yang Tang, a fast food restaurant on Huawei Road, posted a no-smoking sign on the wall next to the door and indoors. The reporter did not see any smokers in the store. The staff in the store said that few people smoke in restaurants. When they see consumers smoking, they will dissuade them and say, "We can’t smoke here. If you smoke, go out and smoke."

There are striking "No Smoking" signs outside the door, on the wall and in the buffet area of a high-end restaurant on Huawei Road, indicating "Call 12320 for reporting complaints". Wei Yanchun, the foreman, said that he started working in the restaurant in 2016, when the logo was installed in the restaurant.

Wei Yanchun introduced that there is a smoking area outside the restaurant, and the restaurant staff will also remind guests not to smoke. If they smoke, they are advised to go to the smoking area outside. Smoking occurred in restaurants before, but after being reminded, consumers were more cooperative. Wei Yanchun said that if guests find someone smoking, they can report it to the restaurant staff.

"Nalan Restaurant" also has a no-smoking sign. Restaurant manager Deng Lijin said that she came to work in the restaurant last November. Compared with when she first came, she felt that the frequency of discouraging consumers from smoking was much lower now. If the staff sees consumers smoking, they will dissuade them for a while, and then invite them to smoke in the smoking area. If they don’t listen to dissuasion, they will put out the cigarettes directly. Deng Lijin said that consumers are still relatively cooperative, but whenever they want to smoke, they will take the initiative to ask where they can smoke.

It is difficult for guests to persuade them to smoke after drinking, and some of them are recorded as furnishings.

Last night, the reporter went to a home-cooked dish on Panjiayuan Road, and there was a no smoking sign in the store. Manager Wang said that the restaurant opened in 2017, and there was no awareness of smoking ban in the first two months. When the relevant units came to the store for inspection, they were criticized and educated. "The person in charge of the store was called to educate it again." Since then, the smoking ban in the store has been strictly enforced. Whenever we see a guest smoking, the service staff will stand aside to dissuade him. "If we don’t listen to the advice after drinking, we will take the smoking cessation jar and put some water in it and stand beside him until he goes out. Some people really can’t persuade, but it is also a minority."

Manager Wang also produced a notebook to record smoking advice, which recorded in detail the time, table, times of smoking in the guest’s shop, dissuading personnel and whether it was effective according to the month. The latest one was at 18: 39 on May 20th, at Table 8. The guest smoked twice, but the dissuasion was ineffective.

When the Beijing News reporter interviewed, it happened that a man in the store lit a cigarette. The waiter immediately went over to dissuade him, and then the man put out the cigarette.

In a roast duck restaurant, the reporter saw a table of guests drinking white wine, and four or five people were chatting while smoking cigarettes. The reporter then reported to the restaurant staff and dissuaded the other party from putting out the cigarettes. A cashier at the bar told reporters that smoking is not allowed in the store, and guests will be discouraged if they smoke, but it is basically ineffective. "As long as I drank the wine, I really couldn’t persuade. If I advised it for two or three times, I wouldn’t persuade it. I was afraid of a conflict with the guests and didn’t complain to the relevant departments for the business in the store."

The cashier found a record of tobacco persuasion, the first page of which was the Regulations on Tobacco Control Management System, which clearly stated that no smoking equipment, signs and articles with tobacco advertisements were placed in the business scope, and all the staff in the store had the obligation and responsibility to conduct inspections. If smokers were found, they must be dissuaded in time. However, the tobacco control inspection record form is blank. "The inspectors came to check and write in the first two months, but they didn’t check in these two months, so they didn’t write, and they will record it when they come," the cashier admitted. If the relevant departments come to check at this moment, "it’s over."

Smoking in the passenger bathroom of Beijing Railway Station

At 17 o’clock yesterday, the Beijing News reporter didn’t see any no-smoking signs on the Beijing Railway Station Square. Passengers waiting to enter the station held cigarettes between their fingers and put them in their mouths from time to time. Although there are trash cans in the square, some passengers still throw cigarette butts on the ground.

In the square, sanitation workers walk back and forth to clean cigarette butts or garbage. A number of sanitation workers told reporters that they work 8 hours a day, and the most work they do is to clean up cigarette butts on the ground.

The reporter saw that a garbage truck of a sanitation worker contained garbage such as ice cream bags and toilet paper, among which cigarette butts were the most obvious.

In the waiting room of Beijing Railway Station, the announcement of no smoking was broadcast circularly, and many walls were affixed with no smoking signs, and staff members wore red armbands with the words "no smoking propagandists" to patrol back and forth in the waiting room, but reporters still saw cigarette butts in many trash cans in the station. At about 18 o’clock, there were male passengers smoking in the bathroom on the first floor of the waiting room. When asked if he knew that smoking was prohibited in the station, the man said that he knew that smoking was prohibited in the station, so he hid in the bathroom and secretly smoked a few mouthfuls. "There is no way to get addicted to cigarettes."

According to the staff in the station, the number of passengers smoking in the waiting room has decreased. Now when I see someone smoking, I will stop it. "Most of them are persuaded, and some passengers don’t listen at all."

Baidu did not need to go too far long ago.

Wen | New Product Finance, Author | Wu Wenwu

Dad didn’t hurt, and Mom didn’t like the car, so she suddenly got into trouble. Now it’s time for a crisis that Baidu will no longer invest.

Recently, the new force of car-making has witnessed a series of embarrassing events. First, Nezha automobile got into a quagmire, and the latest one was the extreme Vietnam automobile got into the eye of the storm.

"New Product Finance" is concerned that on the evening of December 11th, Extreme Vietnam Automobile published a "Description on Recent Situations of Extreme Vietnam" on Guanwei, saying that it is coordinating all resources to meet challenges and actively promoting financing.

Extreme Yue Automobile said that it has entered the 2.0 entrepreneurial stage, and further stated that the company is only operating adjustment, and the services involving vehicles are in normal progress, and all channels can still make normal appointments for maintenance and other services.

At the same time, the "three guarantees" and warranty responsibility of the ultra-Vietnamese products are still protected by law, and some users may be slow to deliver the car in the process of recent strategic adjustment.

In terms of supplier cooperation, Jiyue Automobile said that it is actively making financial adjustments and arranging payment in an orderly manner.

Awkwardly, New Product Finance noticed that a Hangzhou supplier publicly developed a dunning letter, saying that the cooperation fee for the CEO’s live broadcast series of Extreme Yue Automobile in Tik Tok totaled 360,000 yuan, and the account period had passed, but Extreme Yue Automobile had not paid yet. During this period, it was repeatedly collected, and no payment has been made so far.

In sharp contrast to some time ago, there was a scene on the Internet that BYD strongly asked suppliers to reduce their prices by 10%. Extreme Yue Automobile was publicly released by suppliers, which shows how difficult the situation of Extreme Yue Automobile is.

The purpose of this public statement issued by Extreme Yue Automobile is to respond to all kinds of negative news about Extreme Yue Automobile in the market recently.

Recently, some netizens posted on social media that the more layoffs began, the scale was close to 40%. However, the Vietnamese official responded to the national business daily reporter that the above-mentioned rumors of layoffs are untrue.

All new energy automobile brands have opened legal departments, one of which is to dispel rumors. Weibo, from the Ministry of Automobile Law of Extreme Vietnam, said, please don’t believe in rumors and don’t spread them.

However, what is embarrassing is that there is an anchor of the ultra-car in a live broadcast, directly discussing the situation of the ultra-car, discussing whether to punch in and discuss where to go next.

Judging from the comprehensive information of all parties, the current predicament and situation of Extreme Yue Automobile can even be said to be much more severe than that of Nezha Automobile.

Jiyue Automobile, which can be said to be a new car-making force born with a golden key, has a high starting point and a small voice, but it has never stirred up a little spray in the rivers and lakes of the new car-making force.

In the view of "New Product Finance", the current predicament of Extreme Yue Automobile may have been expected by the market, and all this should start from the past and present of Extreme Yue.

Since the great wave of development of new energy vehicles in China, various new car-making forces have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. Not only Wei Xiaoli, the representative of the new car-making forces, but also Huawei, whose sales volume has been booming in the past two years, and Xiaomi, a mobile phone manufacturer, have made cars across the border, while the ultra-car belongs to another kind: the product of cooperation between internet manufacturers and traditional car companies.

At that time, seeing the development momentum of new energy vehicles rolling, many Internet giants were eager to try, among which Baidu, which started as a search engine, couldn’t hold back.

The predecessor of Jiyue was Jidu, which was established in March 2021. It was jointly created by Baidu and Geely. The slogan was to build a high-end intelligent automobile robot brand. At that time, the label of automobile robot was quite new and there were gimmicks.

Jidu is the product of cooperation between Baidu and Geely. Baidu is an Internet giant, which has invested a lot of energy into the fields of automotive technology software and intelligent driving, and has a leading technological advantage. As a private automobile giant in China, Geely Automobile has taken a fancy to Baidu’s technical strength.

Originally, the market thought that the more powerful brand of car-making jointly launched by Baidu and Geely, both sides would invest their core resources and advantages to jointly build the company. However, I didn’t expect that the time suddenly changed in August 2023.

On August 14th, 2023, Jidu changed its name to Jiyue, and released its first model, Jiyue 01. The next day, Jidu official website changed its name to Jiyue Automobile Robot, which became a turning point of this new car-making force, symbolizing that Baidu gradually faded out and Geely strode forward.

In fact, before the name change, Extreme Yue was originally controlled by Baidu, and it also carried Baidu’s dream of building a car. However, Baidu had never obtained the qualification of building a car before, and later had to gradually fade out and hand it over to Geely. The current Baidu Encyclopedia entry shows that it is positioned as a high-end smart car robot brand under Geely Holding.

However, whether it is the previous gathering or the later renaming, it is very embarrassing in the brand camps of Baidu and Geely, which can be aptly described as: Dad doesn’t hurt, and Mom doesn’t love.

Baidu is an Internet giant. Originally, it was hoped that Extreme Yue would be a test field for Baidu’s intelligent and autonomous driving. Baidu’s dream of building a car could not be realized, and naturally it paid less and less attention to Extreme Yue.

Geely is also vigorously promoting the new energy vehicle business, such as focusing on building its high-end new energy vehicle brand, and Geely has many sub-brands, so it has no time to take care of it.

The more late it entered the market, the more it missed the opportunity for the development of new energy vehicles. When its models went on the market, the market competition was extremely fierce. Under such a background, even if the product strength and intelligent driving part of the company had good strength, it was still buried.

What’s even more embarrassing is that Ji Yue doesn’t live up to expectations himself, which is illustrated by the sales volume. The data shows that the delivery volume of Extreme Vietnam in November was 2,485 vehicles, and the cumulative delivery in the first 11 months of this year exceeded 14,000 vehicles.

The passing line of delivery of new energy vehicles is generally believed to be more than 10,000 vehicles per month. In contrast, the annual sales volume of Extreme Vietnam is less than that of other new car-making forces in one month.

When "New Product Finance" went shopping in Shenzhen Futian Shenye Shangcheng several times, it was found that it was deserted when passing by the exhibition hall of Jiyue, which was in sharp contrast with the fire scene in the exhibition hall of Xiaomi Automobile opposite.

Another heavy news about Extreme Yue is that Baidu abandoned Extreme Yue.

According to the report of China Business News a few days ago, from the afternoon of December 10th, it was reported inside the company that Baidu, the shareholder of the company, would no longer invest, and the company would close its vehicle business this week, after its production department began to lay off employees.

As mentioned above, Baidu had a dream of building a car, and it hit it off with Geely Automobile. The two sides set up Jidu Automobile. Originally, both parties and the market thought that with the foundation of Geely’s car-making and Baidu’s technical blessing, Extreme Yue Automobile should be a brand with a strong rise in car-making.

I didn’t expect that the competition among the new car-making forces in China would be so fierce. Although Jiyue shouted a distinctive slogan of car robots, it was still a car in essence, and this label was not enough to attract consumers.

Baidu, as a shareholder, is definitely not satisfied with the current market performance of Extreme Yue Automobile, and has no high expectations for the future. From the perspective of asset investment management, the more unprofitable it is, and it has been burning money. Baidu is naturally unwilling and must stop loss.

Baidu began to lay out the autonomous driving business in 2017. In March of that year, it established the intelligent driving business group, released the "Apollo Plan" at the Shanghai Auto Show in the same year, and opened the autonomous driving platform Apollo.

Over the years, Baidu has invested a lot of resources in intelligent driving business, and has completed the product layout of intelligent driving, intelligent cabin and intelligent map, and has also achieved good results in commercialization.

In April this year, some media reported that Tesla and Baidu would cooperate to launch the FSD to help Tesla FSD enter the China market as soon as possible.

Baidu has also launched a self-driving travel service platform, Radish Run, which has opened manned test and operation services in 11 cities across the country. Especially this year, Radish Run ran in Wuhan, which attracted market attention and heated discussion.

In the view of "New Product Finance", it is obvious that Baidu wants to be an intelligent driving technology service solution provider like Huawei, instead of building a car in person, which is a trial and error of Baidu. From all aspects, Baidu has long been unnecessary. If the report of CBN is true and Baidu doesn’t provide financial support for Extreme Vietnam, then Baidu has been thinking for a long time, and only now has it made a decision.

Without Baidu’s blessing, Extreme Yue is just an obscure sub-brand of Geely. Geely has been pursuing a multi-sub-brand business strategy of having more children and fighting, but now Geely is also shrinking its sub-brand. Last month, Extreme Krypton took control of Lectra, and it is possible to integrate the polar star business in the future.

At present, the brand of Extreme Yue is owned by Geely. From a certain point of view, the decision on the future fate of Extreme Yue is in Geely’s hands. If Extreme Yue wants to continue to develop, it will definitely need Geely’s support and the decision is also in Geely’s hands.

China’s new energy automobile industry has entered the second half of its development, and the elimination of the industry will continue to be fierce, just as Weilai Li Bin stated in an internal letter last month that the most cruel stage of the industry has arrived.

In the future, the competition in China’s new energy automobile market will only become more intense. Coupled with the continuous influence of the price war, the extreme is a new force that has not yet formed the scale effect, and such a big environment is very unfavorable to it.

It can be seen from Ji Yue’s statement and the internal letter of CEO Xia Yiping that at present, Ji Yue Automobile has not been laid flat, and it is trying to actively save itself, especially to find new investors as soon as possible.

"New Product Finance" believes that if Extreme Vietnam wants to continue to develop, it needs to make up its shortcomings in an all-round way, and the most important thing is to prove its value with sales.

Where will you sail in the future? Is it to continue to develop or be integrated by Geely, and the worst plan may be the dissolution of the network? Only time can tell us the answer.

How is the comprehensive battery life of the Trumpchi E9？

The overall range of the Trumpchi E9 is satisfactory. During testing, we observed that the vehicle was driven in smart hybrid mode, and the engine only started working when the battery level was below 20%. In addition, the vehicle used a 25-degree battery and a 56-liter fuel tank, which gave it a combined range of around 800 kilometers.

　　The World Wide Web quoted CNN as saying that SpaceX’s second test flight went further than the first, but unfortunately, it still failed to complete all the scheduled plans and eventually exploded again.

　　According to the report, a few minutes after the launch of the "Starship", Space X Company has confirmed that it lost contact with the "Starship" and its self-destruction system has been forced to trigger.

Explode again! Just announced: Musk failed again.

Sedan experience／luxury configuration, test drive Lexus RX350

　　As the number one car company in Japan, the car has established an unshakable position in the global automotive field, but it has always been a little weak in the face of luxury brands such as Wo. So in 1987, Toyota re-established a high-end brand – Lexus. Later, for various reasons, this high-end brand was changed to its English literal translation -.



　　In today’s high-end market, models have become the "battleground" of various automakers. BMW X5, Benz ML-Class, VOLVO and other models have long been on the streets, and Lexus naturally does not miss the huge "cake" of SUVs. In order to face the continuous evolution of various competitors, Lexus also launched the more powerful RX350 on the basis of its original RX330. In 2006, the 350 became one of the best-selling luxury SUVs in the United States with 10,800 units.


● Unique shape


　　In terms of external dimensions, the RX350 is not the leading SUV model, with a length of 4740, a width of 1845, and a height of 1735 millimeters, respectively. However, compared with similar RVs, it is definitely large, and naturally lays a good foundation for its internal space.



The Lexus RX350 has a significant stylistic difference from its German competitors.


　　In terms of appearance, there is a huge stylistic difference between the Lexus RX350 and its German competitors. Compared with those German masterpieces, the RX series is more dynamic and spiritual, changing the clumsy image of traditional SUVs. The lines of the whole car are full and smart, and the body is sturdy, but not awkward. The inverted straight waterfall ghost face and sharp headlights are in line with the design style of Lexus this season. The fog lights are well integrated into the sturdy front bumper. The outward protruding wheel arches give the whole car a sense of strength. The rear of the car, which is oriented towards the slip-back design, also gives the RX more fashion sense. The sloping C-pillar and the rear triangular window combine perfectly to give the RX a very smooth side line. The translucent taillights outline the unique rear of the RX.


　　In addition to looking sporty, thanks to Toyota’s many years of wind tunnel testing, the RX350’s wind noise level is clearly controlled at a very low level due to the drag coefficient and aerodynamic performance of other competitors. The unique airflow-guided baseplate is derived from F1 racing technology. While reducing the impact of airflow on the body, the smooth baseplate accelerates the speed of airflow flowing away from the lower part of the body to counteract upper buoyancy and increase driving stability. In addition, the diversion system also directs two airstreams to the brakes to help the brakes dissipate heat.


● Warm and humane interior


　　The interior of the RX is a good example of Lexus’ ergonomic efforts. The light-colored main colors create a gentle overall style.



"Three round backlit meters feel full of technology"


　　For SUV models, there is naturally more attention to the front row. Located in the driver’s seat, various buttons are operated by hand. The three round backlit meters feel full of technology and exude a strong sporty atmosphere. The three-spoke steering wheel that echoes the meter feels comfortable, and the combination of leather and wood shows a luxurious atmosphere. The diameter and thickness of the wheel are very handy, and the audio-visual system and common buttons such as Bluetooth phones are integrated on it.


　　The seats with high line of sight support the human body in place, and the perforated leather seats fit the human body curve well. The front seats can be electrically adjusted in 8 directions, and they are all equipped with electric lumbar support, electric heating and armrests that can be retracted independently. Since there is no restriction on the C-pillar seat like an ordinary RV, the interior space of the RX350 can completely exceed that of a C-class RV. The rear seats can choose different lying angles, which will not reduce their legroom when choosing a larger lying angle. The rear occupants can lie down in the back row for a nap in great comfort.


● Exceptional power and transmission system


　　SUVs are not off-road vehicles, but a product of a relative balance between off-road vehicles and RVs. The reason why they are respected is because they have the good handling and comfort of RVs, as well as the passing capacity and carrying capacity that RVs cannot match. Coupled with the characteristics of good line of sight and strong safety, they are widely favored.



The RX350 is equipped with a V6 engine with a displacement of 3456 milliliters.


　　The RX350 is equipped with a 3456ml V6 engine, which is also a classic of Lexus and is used in many Lexus models. From the 94mm and 83mm strokes, it is not difficult to find that this engine is not designed for pure off-road, but the application of other technologies makes the engine have good output performance. In practical use, its torque performance is already excellent at more than 2500 rpm, and at 4700 rpm, it can burst out a maximum torque of 342 Nm. At 6200 rpm, it reaches a maximum of 203 kW.


After Jolin Tsai’s tour, he had no time to spare, and flew to Seoul to prepare new songs to find inspiration

Jolin Tsai

Jolin Tsai

Jolin Tsai

　　　　　　 Jolin Tsai’s "Ugly Beauty 2019-2020 World Tour" Taipei Station ended successfully a few days ago. Jolin, who gave the audience a variety of different surprises in six sessions of Taipei Station, did not forget to throw a surprise bomb at the end of the final show and announced that he would add two more performances at the Kaohsiung Dome on 5/9 and 5/10.

　　Jolin, who established a "passive break-up" at the six performances in Taipei, called on fans to take "axes" to "recognize each other" at the Kaohsiung concert. The organizers called on fans who have seen concerts in Taipei to come to Kaohsiung, remember to bring the previous "axe hand lamps" to play with Jolin at the concert. Each axe hand lamp can once again turn on the party mode through the central control effect to change color with the melody atmosphere. In addition, taking advantage of the release of the ticket sales information, it was announced that this time the Kaohsiung venue would launch a special limited-edition "peach red" axe hand lamp, not only the color is eye-catching and bright, but the most important thing is that "peach red" is one of Jolin’s favorite colors, and the color of Jolin’s exclusive microphone is peach red paint. This microphone, which is nicknamed "A Tao" by the staff, allows Jolin to carry it wherever he goes to sing, which can be said to be the "best partner" of Jolin’s performance.

　　With the end of the concert in Taipei, Jolin stayed at home for several days as a "sofa potato", accompanied by her mother’s chicken soup to "reorganize" her bones and bones, and did not forget to start conceiving her next concert tour to adjust the content. Although there were no large-scale jobs until the Lunar New Year, Jolin, who had no time to spare, still couldn’t stop thinking. In addition to her concert work, she actively began to prepare for new works. This week, she will fly to Seoul to participate in a creative camp. She wants to stimulate the development of new works through the collective brainstorming of musicians. Jolin also hopes to continue to enrich her music creation ability. She revealed that the next works, whether they are singles, EPs or albums, will make the whole more perfect before launching. Fans will wait and see.
