Announcement of the State Council Customs Tariff Commission on Imposing Tariffs on US$ 50 billion imported goods originating in the United States

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, June 16 (Xinhua) The the State Council Customs Tariff Commission announced on June 16 that it would impose tariffs on 50 billion US dollars of imported goods originating in the United States. The full text is as follows:

On June 15, 2018, the US government issued a list of goods subject to tariffs, which will impose a 25% tariff on about 50 billion US dollars of goods imported from China, of which about 34 billion US dollars will be subject to tariffs from July 6, 2018, and at the same time, about 16 billion US dollars will be subject to public comments. This measure by the United States violates the relevant rules of the World Trade Organization, runs counter to the consensus reached through consultations between China and the United States, seriously infringes on our legitimate rights and interests and threatens the interests of our country and people.

According to People’s Republic of China (PRC)’s Foreign Trade Law, People’s Republic of China (PRC)’s Import and Export Tariff Regulations and other laws and regulations and the basic principles of international law, the State Council Customs Tariff Commission decided to impose a 25% tariff on 659 imported goods of about 50 billion US dollars originating in the United States, of which 545 goods of about 34 billion US dollars will be subject to tariff increase as of July 6, 2018, and the implementation time of tariff increase on other goods will be announced separately. The relevant matters are as follows:

1. For 545 commodities such as agricultural products, automobiles and aquatic products, tariffs will be imposed from July 6, 2018. See Schedule 1 for the specific commodity scope.

Two, for chemicals, medical equipment, energy products and other 114 commodities, the implementation time of tariff increase will be announced separately. See Schedule 2 for the specific commodity scope.

3. For the imported goods listed in Schedules 1 and 2 originating in the United States, a tariff of 25% will be levied on the basis of the current taxation method and the applicable tariff rate, and the current bonded and tax reduction and exemption policies will remain unchanged, and the additional tariffs will not be reduced.

Four, after the imposition of tariffs on import tax calculation formula:

Tariff = payable tariff calculated according to the current applicable tax rate+customs value × additional tariff rate.

Ad valorem fixed rate commodity import link consumption tax = import link consumption tax taxable value × consumption tax proportional rate.

Consumption tax on the import link of goods with fixed quantity = import quantity × consumption tax rate.

Consumption tax on import link of compound taxable goods = consumption tax on import link taxable value × consumption tax proportional rate+import quantity × consumption tax fixed rate.

Taxable value = (customs duty paid price+customs duty) ÷ (1-consumption tax proportional rate) for the consumption tax on the import of goods at ad valorem rate.

Taxable value = (duty paid price+tariff+import quantity × fixed consumption tax rate) ÷ (1-proportional consumption tax rate)

Import value-added tax = import value-added tax taxable value × import value-added tax rate

Import value-added tax taxable value = customs duty paid price+customs duty+import consumption tax.

Schedule 1 List of goods subject to tariffs on the United States and Canada

Schedule 2 List of Goods Imposed Tariff on the United States and Canada II

Focus interview： lead by example and be consistent

　　Cctv news(Focus Interview): Not long ago, the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee held a special democratic life meeting on the study and education of Party history. The meeting reviewed the Report on the Implementation of the Eight Central Provisions in the Political Bureau of the Central Committee in 2021 and the Report on the Work of Rectifying Formalism to Reduce the Burden for Grassroots Units in 2021. The meeting pointed out that it is necessary to persist in self-revolution, implement the eight central regulations and their implementation rules in the spirit of nailing nails, rectify the "four winds", implement the provisions for reducing burdens at the grassroots level, and improve the long-term mechanism. Comrades in the Political Bureau of the Central Committee should continue to work hard to set a good example for the whole Party. So, how to make a good start and make a demonstration? Today, let’s look back on how the central leading comrades will implement the spirit of the eight central regulations in 2021.

　　In winter, summer, snowy plateau and drilling tower, whether in snack bars in Shaxian County or Saihanba in the Green Sea, in 2021, the Supreme Leader General Secretary ignored fatigue and went to Beijing, Hebei, Guizhou, Fujian, Guangxi, Henan, Qinghai, Tibet, Shaanxi, Shandong and other provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities for investigation. The land of China records the busy figure of the Supreme Leader General Secretary. This in-depth investigation and research is precisely the requirement of the eight central regulations, and the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader took the lead in setting an example and taking the lead in implementation.

　　Ai Silin, president of Tsinghua University Marxist Institute, said: "Last year was a big year and a happy year for our party and country. We won the tough battle against poverty, built a well-off society in an all-round way, and held a meeting to celebrate the centenary of the founding of the Party. Even in such a busy situation, the general secretary still spent a lot of time inspecting various places. The general secretary gave us a good start, set a benchmark, and truly implemented the good practices of investigation and research. "

　　The year 2021 is the first year of implementing the 14th Five-Year Plan and starting a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. This year, under the impact of the century epidemic, the century-old situation accelerated and the external environment became more complicated, severe and uncertain. This year, China’s economic development faced three pressures: demand contraction, supply shock and expected weakening. Facing the complicated situation at home and abroad, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: investigation and research is the heirloom of our party and the basic skill of doing all the work well. He set an example and began his trip to Wan Li for investigation and research.

　　On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2021, the Supreme Leader General Secretary visited Huawu Village, which is located in the hinterland of Wumeng Mountain and beside Sancha River. During this inspection, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader said that common prosperity itself is an important goal of socialist modernization. We should adhere to the people-centered development ideology, do our best and do what we can, and take the initiative to solve problems such as regional disparities, urban-rural disparities, and income disparities, so that the masses can see changes and get benefits.

　　In March 2021, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to Fujian to conduct research in national parks, ecological tea gardens, cultural relics protection units, hospitals, rural areas, enterprises and schools. He emphasized that innovation should be regarded as a national policy and actively encouraged and supported.

　　In April, 2021, when the General Secretary visited Guangxi, he saw that Maozhushan Village, Caiwan Town, quanzhou county City, Guilin City actively developed grape planting, which effectively promoted farmers’ income. The annual income of the villager Wang Deli’s family reached 140,000 yuan. He said, "Good days are all made by struggle. Now everyone has tasted the sweetness, and they feel that they have a head start, so they will continue to develop."

　　On May 13th, 2021, the General Secretary came to Taocha Canal Head Project in Nanyang, Henan Province to learn about the construction, management and operation of the Middle Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project and the resettlement of immigrants in the reservoir area. From June to October, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader went to Qinghai, Tibet, Hebei, Shaanxi and Shandong for investigation.

　　Through a lot of investigation and research, the Supreme Leader General Secretary has a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of China’s economic, political, cultural, social and ecological civilization in 2021. The busy figure is followed by profound thinking and careful deployment. At the same time, this is also the requirement of the Supreme Leader General Secretary to improve his work style and keep close contact with the masses by implementing his own practical actions.

　　Zhuang Deshui, deputy director of the Research Center for the Construction of a Clean Government in Peking University, said: "Through investigation, we will personally jump down to listen to the voices of the masses and bring the party’s policy requirements to the grassroots, so as to realize the top-down communication of the central policy, and at the same time, we can also transmit the voices of the grassroots to the central government from the bottom up, so as to achieve the top-down communication and ensure that the major central decision-making arrangements can be implemented to the end."

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader not only insists on the breadth of investigation and study, but also pays special attention to the depth of investigation and study, grasps the macro and pays attention to the details. In Gala Village, Linzhi Town, Bayi District, Linzhi City, Tibet, the General Secretary went into the village convenience service center, the "green bank" exchange shop and the clinic to learn more about the situation.

　　During an inspection tour in Chengde, Hebei Province, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to Daguikou Village, Pianqiaozi Town, Shuangluan District, located on the north bank of Luanhe River. He went into the village clinic to learn about the situation.

　　From the food on the kitchen stove to the water quality in farmers’ faucets, from children’s education to medicines in village clinics, the general secretary paid attention to every detail in the lives of ordinary people in the investigation and research.

　　Tian Kun, deputy director of the Research Office of Party Building and Party History of Marxist Institute of China Academy of Social Sciences, said: "The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader is very characteristic when he investigates and investigates, that is, he is very grounded. Only in this way can he truly observe people’s feelings, listen to people’s opinions and solve people’s worries. The eight regulations require more discussions with the masses, more heart-to-heart talks with cadres, more discussions and discussions, more typical anatomy, and more places where difficulties and contradictions are concentrated and people have many opinions. It is forbidden to go through the motions and engage in formalism. The general secretary explained how to implement the eight regulations with practical actions. "

　　The purpose of the eight regulations is to improve the work style and keep close contact with the masses, and the ultimate goal is that our party adheres to the fundamental purpose of building the party for the public, governing for the people, and serving the people wholeheartedly. Under the leadership of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, set an example. In 2021, the epidemic situation in COVID-19 fluctuated repeatedly, the virus frequently mutated, and the situation of epidemic prevention and control remained grim. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader personally directed the deployment of epidemic prevention and control work, determined the general strategy of "external defense input, internal defense rebound" and the general policy of "dynamic zero clearing", and achieved the greatest results at the lowest cost. On the way to Tibet, the Supreme Leader immediately gave important instructions after learning that Henan suffered from extremely heavy rainfall, demanding that the safety of people’s lives and property should always be the first priority, quickly organize forces for flood control and disaster relief, properly resettle the affected people, prevent secondary disasters, and minimize casualties and property losses.

　　Chen Shuguang, vice president of the School of Marxism of the Central Party School (National School of Administration), said: "In the mind of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, he has always adhered to the people first and repeatedly stressed that every work of our Party should be people-centered. No matter where the general secretary goes, no matter how busy he is, the vital interests of the people are always his greatest concern. Therefore, in the mind of the general secretary, nothing is higher than the position of the people, and nothing is heavier than the weight of the people. "

　　Under the guidance of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, the spirit of the eight central regulations was fully implemented in 2021. In terms of diligence and thrift, the budget for the "three public" funds at the central level has been reduced by 6%. It is strictly forbidden for local governments to build government buildings and halls in violation of regulations, or to build performance projects and image projects, and to substantially reduce expenditures on non-rigid key projects and public funds.

　　In 2021, the CPC Central Committee deployed the whole party to study and educate the history of the Party, carry forward the great spirit of party building, inherit and carry forward the glorious tradition and fine work style of the Party, and promote the comprehensive and strict management of the Party to develop in depth.

　　Li Keqiang, Li Zhanshu, Wang Yang, Wang Huning, Zhao Leji, Han Zheng and other comrades in the Political Bureau of the Central Committee conscientiously implemented the requirements put forward by the Supreme Leader General Secretary, starting from themselves, starting from the competent localities, areas and departments, and implementing the eight central regulations with high standards and strict requirements.

　　Ai Silin said: "Now we have started the journey of the goal of the second century. As the General Secretary said, the Chinese dream cannot be realized easily by beating gongs and drums, nor can it be realized overnight by Ma Pingchuan. The style of our cadres in party member is very important, which is directly related to the future and destiny of our party and state. Therefore, strengthening the work style construction will always be on the road, and we must not take it lightly on this issue, and we must not relax. "

　　Since the introduction of the eight central regulations, the party style, political style and social style have taken on a new look. This campaign to clean up the chronic diseases within the party and eliminate the accumulated disadvantages of work style has achieved remarkable results. Over the past nine years, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has set an example, carried forward the spirit of nailing, strictly implemented the eight central regulations, and persistently rectified the "four winds", stopped some unhealthy trends that were considered impossible to stop in the past, and rectified some stubborn diseases that have not been removed for many years. The eight central regulations have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, becoming synonymous with the party’s work style construction and a golden business card for comprehensively and strictly administering the party.

Chinese disease control expert： The occurrence of adverse reactions after booster vaccination of COVID-19 vaccine has not exceeded the past.

The State Council joint prevention and control mechanism held a press conference on scientific and accurate prevention and control of epidemic situation.Wang Huaqing, chief expert of immunization program of China CDC, said that according to the current epidemiological analysis at home and abroad, the risk of serious illness and death is very high after the elderly are infected with Covid-19, especially those with basic diseases are infected with Covid-19. In this case, these people should be vaccinated. From the perspective of benefits and risks, the vaccination of the elderly should not only be carried out according to two doses of inactivated vaccine, but also follow-up booster shots according to regulations, so that better protection can be obtained.

Wang Huaqing said,According to the research results of strengthening needle in previous clinical trials, the vaccine has good safety and immune effect. At present, we can also see from the monitoring results of the adverse reaction monitoring system that the occurrence of adverse reactions after intensified needle inoculation has not exceeded the previous situation, including the occurrence of the first needle and the second needle. Then, from the category of adverse reactions, it is mainly general reactions, and allergic skin rash is the main abnormal reaction among adverse reactions. Of course, if the vaccinated person has any suspected adverse reaction during vaccination, especially booster shots, he should report it to the vaccination doctor in time, so that we can get relevant information as soon as possible and carry out relevant investigation and diagnosis. Judging from the current results, serious adverse reactions are also very rare in strengthening needles.

Summer Prospect ｜ Wanda leads the way, iQIYI and Emperor urgently fill the position

Text/Meat Dog

Source/Entertainment Business Watch

According to the data of the National Film Funding Office, in the 25th week (June 20-June 26), the national film box office revenue was 484 million yuan, an increase of 26.7% month-on-month, and the number of people watching the movie was 12.971 million, an increase of 198.98% month-on-month.

The film market is picking up with the heat, and "Life Events" plays a mainstay role behind this.

According to the cat’s eye professional version of the data, this week, "life events" defeated the Hollywood blockbuster "Jurassic Park 3", with super 200 million box office on the weekly champion throne, and in the current 26th week, "life events" still maintain a high leader posture.

Everything seems to be moving in a prosperous direction, but that’s just one side of the coin.

Before the official release, many professional media in the industry gave 1 billion + box office predictions, among which, Cat’s Eye predicted that the final box office 965 million.

But on the second day of the premiere, Maoyan slashed the box office forecast to 666 million, and then raised it to 891 million and 1.136 billion. Through such a significant adjustment of the box office forecast, we can see that Maoyan does not have firm confidence in the film, which also reflects the attitude of the entire market.

Some people firmly believe that the impact of "life events" 1 billion is still optimistic, and some people have expressed doubts, but there is no denying that the high reputation of "life events" has driven the market heat, and the next summer has brought bursts of warmth.

dispute

Everyone has their own reasons, so let’s talk about the positive ones first.

Although the first day of "life events" and the cat’s eye predicted 61.36 million there is a 20 million discrepancy, but it is surprising that the film showed a doubling trend in the second day, the third day of single-day box office rose again more than 5 million, strong reverse fall, and the second place "Jurassic World 3" The gap gradually widened.

And then there’s…word of mouthOn June 19, after the opening of the second round of screening, "Life Events" quickly refreshed the reputation record of drama and family films in the past three years, with both Maoyan and Taotiao platform ratings reaching 9.7.

As of press time, the cat’s eye rating of "Life Events" is still the same as "I am not the God of Medicine"; in the shopping ticket, "Life Events" is 0.2 higher than "I am not the God of Medicine" and "My Motherland". And on the second day of its official release, "Life Events" also ushered in its own Douban reputation – 7.5.

At the same time, as Shanghai gradually returns to normal production and living conditions, the recovery of urban cinemas will also usher in an important turning point, when the market will increase by another 5%.

But that’s not enough to convince everyone of the film’s staying power.

The current reputation of "Life Events" is regarded as the best in the movie market this year, but the user ratings of Cat’s Eye, Taopiao Ticket and Douban are relatively polar. Longitudinal comparison, the gap between it and "I am not the God of Medicine" in Douban score is too prominent, and Han Yan’s "Send You a Little Red Flower" Douban score to the mainstream market has also reached 8.0.

Although the credibility of Douban’s score was once again impacted by the influence of "Menghualu", it still had an important impact on the release of the film’s box office energy that could not be ignored.

The most crucial thing is that the controversy over the quality of "Life Events" is becoming increasingly clear.

Looking at the audience feedback on major social platforms, we can see that the most pointed one is undoubtedlyFor the sake of sensationalism.

Wenyu Jun had similar feelings after watching the movie. Xiaowen (Yang Enyou, played) ‘s mother "came back to life", the third sister (Zhu Yilong, played) sent Xiaowen away, the third sister chased after the car in the rainy night, the third sister’s father passed away, the third sister used fireworks to send off her father, and Xiaowen disappeared… The story in the second half of "Life Events" is indeed a little rushed compared to the previous one.

Not only that, these densely staged episodes of Tears were also rather stiff in terms of succession, basically relying on the third sister’s phone call to transition. After a plot was completed, the phone rang, and the next episode began immediately.

Through this, we can also feel that the main line and core of the second half of "Life Events" are not clear enough, and the main funeral industry has been sharply reduced, replaced by family and family relationships, but the presentation of these two parts is not delicate enough.

There was also the portrayal of the supporting characters. Bai Xue and Jianren, the two working partners of the third sister, as well as Master Mo and Sister Mo, all lacked the space to "breathe" themselves, so it was not difficult to understand why some viewers would say that it was difficult to empathize with these characters, and it was difficult to feel the true warmth of mutual care between the lower-level characters through them.

In fact, the above three issues also contributed to the reputation of "Send You a Little Red Flower"Open high and go lowThe main thrust. And in this rich "Han Yan-style expression", the personal color and charm conveyed by Liu Jiangjiang, a rookie director, to the public is vague.

contraction

"Life Events" is not solid enough, but the entertainment gentleman will still choose to be on the optimistic side. The reason is simple, looking at the entire summer film market: too many eyes, too few options.

Looking back at the 2021 summer season, a total of 142 films were showcased together, and the four established private film companies of Bona, Guangguang, Wanda and Huayi were not absent.

In July, the light brought the main theme film "Revolutionary"; Bona contributed the 1.328 billion commercial main theme film "Chinese Doctor"; Wanda and Huayi respectively brought the animated film "New Big Head Son and Small Head Dad", the popular adolescent film sequel "What should I do when the second brother comes" and the youth film "Midsummer Future".

At the same time, Tencent Pictures, Ali Pictures, Cat’s Eye Pictures and Douyin have also gained a sense of presence during this period, especially Tencent Pictures. The company’s main gift film "1921" started the summer first, and another director’s work "Anger · Serious Case", which participated in the production, has been harvested at the 1.329 billion box office.

In contrast, this year, only 43 films have confirmed their participation in the war so far, and while the number has contracted sharply, the willingness of leading film companies to compete has also declined intuitively.

Huayi, Tencent Pictures, Douyin "Stealth", although Ray, Wanda, Ali Pictures, and Bona chose to continue to participate in the war, they basically produced small and medium-sized animated movies or love movies. Typical examples are "We Look Like Love" and "Out of the Earth", "Undersea Column: Cave Adventure" and "You Are My Spring" controlled by Ray, and "Friends for a Week" controlled by Ali Pictures.

It should be noted that Wanda, Ali Pictures, and Bona all bet on "Mozart in Outer Space". As for the reason, it is largely related to the director Chen Sicheng and the starring lineup of Huang Bo and Rong Zishan, and the film’s main fantasy, comedy, and family elements are also highly adapted to the summer schedule.

Worryingly, the current number of people who want to see the film is not absolutely dominant, and it is very close to "You Are My Spring", which is also wrapped in the star halo, and there is only 6,000 catch-up distance with "Out of the Earth", which is released the next day. Not only that, the public’s feedback on the trailer of the film is not enthusiastic, and there are even many voices directly saying "bad movie reservation".

Another by Huang Bo, Yan Ni starring, Galaxy Cool Entertainment, Hanna film and television, joy media jointly produced "learning dad" is not optimistic, cat eye want to see the number of only 60,000, and Tingdong film industry, Ali film industry, Hengdian film and television co-produced "miss each other" the current cat eye want to see the number of less than 40,000.

fill in

If someone temporarily leaves the stage, someone will inevitably take advantage of the situation to fill the position, and in this year’s summer, iQIYI Pictures is undoubtedly the most eye-catching one.

Last year, iQIYI Pictures not only brought real revenue growth, but also effectively opened up the imagination of "iQIYI produced movies", and this year’s "New Order", which has been scheduled for July 8, is also a crime action movie.

Not only that, the film’s starring lineup is relatively more eye-catching, with Zhang Jiahui, Ruan Jingtian, and Wang Continental co-starring.

However, "New Order" has a tough opponent to face, namely "Detective War", which also stars Liu Qingyun and other Hong Kong stars. At present, the number of people who want to see this film controlled by Emperor Films has exceeded 100,000, nearly 70,000 higher than "New Order".

But in addition to "New Order", iQIYI will also launch a love film "Meet You" in the summer, and the number of cat eyes who want to see the film has reached 100,000.

In addition to iQIYI, Youku also participated in the production of a small and medium-sized animated film "Happy Superman Hero’s Heart" this summer. It is worth noting that Hengye Pictures, which produced the second "New Order" and "Meet You", also appeared in the co-production column of the film.

Combined with the recent filing projects of companies such as "Door Lock" released earlier this year, as well as "Ordinary Love Story", "21-Day Divorce Rule", "Responsive Day" and "Dear Friend", Hengye Pictures is very determinedMoving from distribution to contentAnd the overall layout is increasingly emphasizing diversity.

Overall, none of the contestants in the summer season currently have a significant "explosive appearance". Due to the limitations of the theme and type, the possibility of fermentation into a big dark horse is limited, even "Mozart in Outer Space".

After all, the higher configuration of the director and cast means that it will face a higher threshold of testing. And from the content released in the trailer, the film is quite similar to "Yangtze River No. 7", which is one of the reasons why the public has not received enthusiastic feedback on it.

There is still a lot of room left for "Life Events", and Lianrui Film’s other film "Shocking Rescue" has exceeded 80,000. That is to say, if everything continues to develop in a good direction, Lianrui Film is likely to be the last one to laugh in this summer’s file.

Byd Tang 4S shop spontaneous combustion! @ Wang Chuanfu, what about the agreed ＂Never catch fire＂？

On April 2, a video of a netizen broke the news that a BYD Tang (parameter picture) under maintenance spontaneously ignited in a BYD 4S shop in Shaoguan, Guangdong. The video shows that the accident occurred on April 1. In the video, the scene was full of black smoke and fire, and many firefighters were rescued.

The on-site staff of the store said, "It is a car problem, not a fire. It has been solved now and can be maintained normally."

As can be seen from the video screen, this is undoubtedly BYD Tang’s confusion, and from the front face, it is highly probable that Tang dmi was listed at the Shanghai Auto Show last year.

"Erase the word’ spontaneous combustion’ from the dictionary of new energy vehicles." In 2020, Wang Chuanfu, chairman of BYD, made such rhetoric at the blade battery conference.

However, "spontaneous combustion" has not been erased, but "hitting the face" has come very quickly. After that, BYD’s various new energy vehicles have been experiencing spontaneous combustion accidents.

On March 25th this year, BYD Tang, a new car owner in Shanghai, spontaneously ignited while parked, and the vehicle was badly burned, leaving only one frame. The owner said that he had negotiated with the manufacturer and paid directly, but BYD officials did not make a public statement on the matter. We also don’t know the cause and effect of the spontaneous combustion of the vehicle.

On January 26th, a failed BYD Tang DM-i car in Shanghai was suspected to have caught fire on the way to the trailer. As can be seen from the pictures at the scene, the car has stopped burning. According to the picture observation, the car can’t have caught fire during driving, but it should have caught fire when it got on the trailer. There is no official news about the specific reason.

Also in January this year, a video of a fire accident of BYD dolphins came out on the Internet. Judging from the live video, the fire is large and accompanied by cracking sound.

Last November, a BYD Qin Pro EV caught fire in an underground garage in Beijing. At that time, the owner had not got off the bus, and suddenly felt that the voice was wrong. He immediately picked up the child and got off the bus to escape. Judging from the photos on the scene, a lot of white smoke emerged near the vehicle, and there was an obvious fire point at the bottom. After being put out, BYD Qin ProEV was seriously damaged and had no maintenance value.

In July, 2021, in a collision test conducted by the media, BYD Han EV and Beiqi Extreme Fox Alpha S conducted a frontal collision test. Unexpectedly, after the collision was completely cut off and left standing for 48 hours, this BYD Han EV equipped with a blade battery had a spontaneous combustion accident.

Say a few more words

Since last year, the sales of BYD’s new energy vehicles have shown a steady growth trend, but behind the sales of BYD’s new energy vehicles, there are frequent spontaneous combustion accidents.

Wang Chuanfu’s slogan of "never catching fire" has not been put into practice, and BYD’s battery safety is also worrying.

In fact, Wang Chuanfu’s high-profile publicity and endorsement of blade batteries at the beginning was itself suspected of exaggerating publicity. After all, the safety of battery cells is only the "nine Niu Yi hairs" of vehicle safety.

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)

PC players are going to win again？ March boutique end-game inventory： blue agreement, launched in ancient century war.

After February, when there were many masterpieces, players must still be wanting more. As a rare game year for several years, players will also welcome many interesting heavyweight works in March.

Today, let’s take stock of these boutique end-games that met with players in March.

"Blue Agreement" Japan Test

The Blue Agreement, known as the "Japanese Protogod", will start the internal test in late March. This internal test is the first test since the large-scale revision of the game. It was scheduled to be tested at the beginning of the year, and later it was decided to skip the ticket until March.

"Blue Agreement" is a two-dimensional animation-style action MMORPG developed by Project Sky Blue, which was jointly established by Bandai Nanmeng Palace Online and Bandai Nanmeng Palace Studio. Up to now, it has taken five years to develop it. Because of its cartoon rendering style, it was also dubbed by many players as the "original god" of Japan at the beginning of its publication.

However, there is still a big gap between the game and the original God, and the game is more similar to MMORPG such as FF14. There is no occupation restriction in the Blue Agreement. Players can change their corresponding occupations and skills by switching weapons, and at the same time, players can use different weapons to develop them, thus achieving different combat effects.

Interested players may wish to pay attention to the follow-up test results of the game.

Hanbok "The War of the Ancient Century" went online

The multi-platform MMORPG new work "Ancient Century War" based on the IP of Ancient Century will be launched in South Korea on March 21st.

As a MMORPG, The War of the Ancient Century tells the story of the period when many races of the original "The Ancient Century" settled in the mainland of Noia after the extinction of the original mainland. During the game, players can not only explore in the vast open world of seamless maps, but also fight with other players without worrying about the influence of equipment.

Judging from the previously published gameplay information, the game supports multi-dimensional combat gameplay in the ocean and land, allowing players to experience a full range of war perspectives.

Because the game adopts the mode of PC and mobile communication, the game may be more mobile in content, which may have a certain impact on the player experience.

Wolong: The Fall of Heaven

This work on the theme of the Three Kingdoms, which was released on March 3, triggered a heated discussion among players once it was announced. After all, it is a work related to our culture, and many players are also looking forward to the real face of the game.

As a new work developed by the production team of Benevolence King, this novel Wolong continues the style of its soul game, and carries out a lot of overhead treatment on the theme of the Three Kingdoms, and combines many famous military commanders in the Three Kingdoms period with monster beast elements to design many monsters, transformations and characteristic moves.

Due to certain operating threshold, the experience of players is quite challenging, and this game is also one of the most worthwhile games for players to experience in March.

Resident Evil 4: Remastered Edition

Resident Evil 4: Remastered Edition, which will be launched at the end of this month, is also the most worthwhile game for players to experience in March. Since Capcom restarted the Resident Evil series, the repeated versions of the series have been unanimously recognized by players.

Nowadays, Resident Evil 4, the most classic in this series, will also usher in a remastered version. This version not only preserves the essence of the original play, but also makes up most of the pictures, details and playable parts. From the previous announcement, Lyon not only added MP5 submachine guns, but also added new weapons such as crossbows.

In terms of picture quality, Resident Evil 4: Remastered Edition still maintains the super-high picture quality of recent generations of remastered editions, which is also a great evolution for the original. In addition, in order to make the game more scary, the game will also change the enemy’s appearance structure and order, and adjust the opening part of the game to night.

At present, the work has been confirmed to log on to many platforms such as PC/PS5/PS4/XSX, and it is not enough to go to Paul.

Lysa’s alchemy workshop 3

On March 24th, Glorious’s new series of alchemy workshops, Liza’s alchemy workshop 3, will be officially released, and players can enjoy Miss Liza’s legs again.

This work is the third in this series, and the game depicts the last adventure of Lesha and others. Liza’s new adventure began with the sudden emergence of the Mystery Islands. Leisha and others who live in Keken Island suddenly learned that there were unknown islands off the coast and quickly went to investigate-after growing up, Leisha and her companions were about to launch the "last summer adventure". In the game, you can not only see the characters who appeared in the previous work again, but also the new characters who are the key figures in the story.

Compared with the previous two films, there will be two new systems, namely, the building of the alchemy workshop and the cooking, in the new adventure, players can cook at the bonfire in Yuan Ye, which can temporarily strengthen the team and make the battle easier.

Another new workshop building system allows players to build alchemy workshops in various areas as adventure bases. The alchemy workshops can meet the needs of players for blending and rest, and can also get different bonuses according to architectural styles.

The Last Survivor: Part I PC Version

The Last Survivor: Part I is a role-playing action game with the theme of doomsday, but it is very different from previous games with similar themes. The two protagonists have distinct personalities, and they will do whatever it takes to survive. Although there are mutant monsters in the game, they are also the main cause of the end, but most of the battles in the game are with humans.

The Last Survivor is a very popular classic. No matter whether you have heard its fame or notoriety, you should not be unfamiliar with it. Fortunately, the plot of the first part does not contain any parts that make fans uncomfortable, so players can experience it with confidence.

"The Last Survivor: Part I" is a reprint of the first generation of this series. This version retains the original gameplay content, greatly optimizes the screen and operation experience, and is no longer exclusive to the PS platform. PC players can also play on the Steam platform.

Due to the recent popularity effect of the live-action drama "The Last Survivor", the sales volume of this version has ushered in a huge increase, and both the PC version and the PS4 version have reached a sales increase of 2 times or even 3 times, so Sony is making a profit.

However, at present, we don’t know whether there will be adaptations or new content added to the game. Friends who have already played the first generation can consider waiting and seeing first.

The above is the end tour that we took stock of for you in March, including both classic masterpieces that players are looking forward to and innovative online games in Japan and South Korea. Interested players must not miss this month’s wonderful works.
