Previously reported

According to CCTV news, February 29th is the deadline set by the South Korean government for the returnees in the "resignation tide".

On the one hand, Korean junior doctors keep protesting and making their own demands; On the other hand, most people in South Korea support the tough attitude of the government.

How this medical crisis, which has lasted for nearly two weeks, will end has aroused widespread concern in Korean society.

On March 1, the South Korean police conducted a compulsory investigation on the relevant persons of the Korean Medical Association who were reported for allegedly violating the Medical Law.

Jeong-hwan Kim, a senior official of the South Korean Ministry of Health, revealed that from March 4th, the government will warn doctors who continue to violate the "Return to Work Order".

According to Korean law, the government can revoke the doctor’s license for up to one year for doctors who seriously endanger public health, and doctors may face three years’ imprisonment or a fine of 30 million won, which is about 160,000 yuan.

South Korea’s Minister of Interior and Security Lee Sang-min:

In principle, we will investigate and deal with the refusal of the leaders and forces behind illegal collective actions to comply with the government’s order to resume work.

Individual interns who refuse to return to work will be tried through formal prosecution. The tough stance of the Korean government was opposed by the Korean Medical Association.

On February 29th, an inspection of 100 large-scale internship hospitals in China showed that as of 7: 00 pm the previous day, 9997 interns affiliated to these hospitals had submitted resignation reports, accounting for 80.2% of the total.

The actual number of doctors absent from work was 9076, accounting for 72.8%.

According to the statistics of the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare, as of 5: 00 pm on February 29th, the number of residents returning to the medical field after the strike increased by 271 compared with the previous day, totaling 565.

Patient:

I was diagnosed with stage III pancreatic cancer. The situation in the hospital is very complicated. There are no empty seats in the waiting room, and many patients who can’t receive treatment in other hospitals also come here. The shortage of medical resources has caused dissatisfaction among the Korean people.

Reuters: Pyongyang may have the ability to independently develop missile engines.

  CCTV News:In response to the news reported by the US media on the 14th that the Ukrainian Southern Design Bureau sold missile engines to North Korea, the Ukrainian side voiced for two consecutive days, firmly denying the incident and suggesting that Russia was behind the scenes. In this regard, Russia also responded strongly: criticizing Ukraine for wanting to "shabu-shabu".

RD-250 engine

RD-250 engine

  On 14th, The New York Times quoted a military expert as saying that North Korea successfully tested an intercontinental ballistic missile last month, probably because it bought missile engines from Ukrainian enterprises in the arms black market. A research report published by the Institute for International Strategic Studies in London, UK, further pointed out: "No other country can develop from having medium-range missiles to having intercontinental ballistic missiles in such a short time. This speed means that North Korea has obtained a high-performance liquid fuel engine from abroad, and only the RD-250 engine manufactured by the Southern Design Bureau of Ukraine meets the external characteristics of North Korea’s new engine. "

  In this regard, the Ukrainian side voiced for two consecutive days and denied the incident.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Groisman

  Ukrainian Prime Minister Groisman said that this is aimed at sowing dissension against Ukraine. I believe the statement of the National Security and National Defense Commission, and I can assure you that there is no such thing at all.

  The Southern Design Bureau of Ukraine was established in 1954, and its full name is the Southern Machinery Manufacturing Scientific Research and Production Consortium, located in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine. Its original purpose was to design ballistic missiles for dropping nuclear warheads. After the American media reported, the Southern Design Bureau has issued a statement that Ukraine has not provided military missile engines to any country since its independence in 1991.

  The Ukrainian Space Agency hinted that Russia was behind the scenes.

  The Ukrainian National Space Agency further issued a statement, suggesting that Russia is behind the scenes.

  Yuri Radcenco, head of the Ukrainian National Space Agency, said that this kind of engine was produced in Ukraine before 2001 and was widely used in two projects, namely "Cyclone 2" and "Cyclone 3", which were supplied by the Southern Machinery Factory for Russian projects, but not produced for Ukraine itself.

  When this statement came out, it was immediately countered by the Russian side.

  The host of Russia’s first channel reported that what they mean is that Russia disassembled the "Cyclone" missile into components and gave the most precious engine to North Korea without feeling distressed. That’s ridiculous!

  On 15th, the general manager of Southern Design Bureau suggested that RD-250 could be "copied" by 3D printing technology to meet the demand of North Korea. In this regard, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry rogozin said categorically that this is absolutely impossible.

  Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry rogozin said that some portraits can be reproduced, but the engine is the most advanced technical structure, which requires not only detailed technical documents, but also test stands and various tests. Strictly speaking, what is needed most is professionals who know everything about engines, so this time either the technical documents were leaked or someone sold them directly.

  Just as the two sides were at loggerheads, a piece of news disclosed by the British Reuters on the 16th was quite a "rescue". According to Reuters, Pyongyang may already have the ability to manufacture missile engines, and it does not need to rely on the support of other countries at all.

  A reporter from Reuters, UK, said that the research of the London Institute for International Strategic Studies was only based on the measurement of the engine photos released by North Korea, and there was a heated discussion among experts who had been concerned about the North Korean nuclear issue. Some experts’ judgments were consistent with the assessment of American intelligence agencies, that is, North Korea may have the ability to independently develop and build missile engines.

Ready Player One topped Black Panther in the first week and set another box office record.


1905 movie network news  On the Easter holiday weekend (03.30-04.01), the box office revenue in North America totaled $132.4 million, up 1.9% from the previous month.

Ready Player One’s $180 million global media refers to "targeting adrenaline"


Recommended star rating: ★★★★☆.


Ready Player One

The dystopian sci-fi novel by Warner and Weixiu Pictures won $41.21 million at the box office in North America in the first three days of the weekend, plus a total of $53.21 million at the box office on Thursday, of which 35% came from 3D screening. This figure makes it the highest box office movie in Steven Allan Spielberg in the first week after 2008, slightly exceeding the box office of $40.5 million (three days) in the first week of "Special Forces 2: Total Strike Back", close to $50 million in 1993, but less than $64 million in 2005. The production cost of Ready Player One is between $150 million and $175 million, and the global publicity cost exceeds $100 million. At present, the global box office has reached US$ 181 million, which is particularly popular in China. The box office on Saturday is 80% higher than that on Friday, and the box office on the weekend is US$ 61.7 million. The US media expects that Ready Player One may reach US$ 250 million in China, which is about 1.55 billion yuan.

Although Spielberg’s biographical themes, such as The Post and bridge of spies, have been remarkable at the box office in recent years, his fantasy themes, such as The Dream of a Giant and The Adventures of Tintin, have failed one after another. This time, Ready Player One is the first time that Spielberg has chosen to open a film in the spring when the competition is not so strong after "Running on the rampage" in 1974. This strategy not only makes it win back a city at the box office, but also causes heated discussion and public praise, and also becomes his highest and best film after "Minority Report" in 2005.


At present, Ready Player One’s cinema score in North America is A-, IMDb score is 8.0, MTC score is 64, and the freshness of rotten tomatoes is 76%. The Wall Street Journal said: "Ready Player One is aiming at your adrenaline." Hollywood Reporter: "A noisy adventure between desolation and fantasy. Although Spielberg has made great changes to Ernest Klein’s original work, it still retains the complete main spirit and thrilling elements." Variety: "This is a very complete and occasionally intoxicating film. But you feel occupied more often than you are involved. "


"The last straw" makes people "the last straw" and "God is not dead 3" come to an end.


The last straw recommended star rating: ★☆.

"God is not dead: light in the dark" recommended star rating: ★


The last straw

Second in the new film is tyler perry’s latest all-black movie "The Endless", which grossed $17.1 million in 2,006 theaters in North America last weekend. It was lower than tyler perry’s first week box office of 21.64 million (the final box office was $51.97 million) in 2013. However, it is much higher than Taraji P hansen’s earlier "Proud Mary". The first week of "Proud Mary" in North America was only 9.95 million US dollars, and the final box office was 20.87 million US dollars. The last straw will be the last film released by Lionsgate in tyler perry, and they will cooperate with Paramount instead. At present, the reputation of "The Endless" is not high. IMDb score is 4.7, MTC30 score is 30, rotten tomato freshness is 28%, and audience freshness is 50%. Entertainment Weekly believes: "Hansen’s anger for more than 20 minutes is not enough to keep the film’s reputation or worth the ticket price." Rolling Stone magazine said: "The last straw will make you unbearable, so it wastes Hansen’s acting talent and your ticket money." The New York Times: "In addition to endorsing the explanation of Stockholm syndrome in marriage, it also provides you with a guide to survival in a bad economic environment."


Last week, the last large-scale new film was God’s Not Dead: A Light in Darkness, which earned $2.63 million in 1,693 theaters in North America last weekend. It is not as good as the first box office of $9.16 million in 2014, and it is not as good as the $7.62 million in "God is not dead 2" in 2016. In recent years, movies with good faith themes have basically come from major studios such as Fox, Sony and Lions Gate, such as the current list and the previous "Paradise Really Exists", which have relative box office potential. God is not dead: light in the dark. At present, IMDb score is 3.1, MTC score is 33, and the freshness of rotten tomatoes is 15%. "Hollywood Reporter" thinks: "Although this film is not as strong as the first two, it is also completely boring."

"Variety" commented: "This is a dance comedy that combines elegance, humor and vulgarity." It is estimated that the box office of the film will be between 13 million yuan and 21 million dollars in the first week.

The cost in 2015 was $35 million, and the local box office was $110.2 million; Last year, the cost was $19 million, and the local box office reached $115.1 million.

Quiet Place, a Paramount horror film, also won a good reputation at the South-by-Southwest Film Festival (SXSW), which depicts a dystopian world in the future, in which giant insect monsters who have lost their vision hunt humans through their super-sensitive response to sound. A year after most human beings were extinct, only the remaining people learned to adapt to life without sound. A family of five in the movie basically relies on sign language to complete daily communication.

  journalistThe industrial chain of electronic enterprises is relatively long. What is the current situation of this kind of enterprises returning to work and production? What measures will be taken to support the coordinated resumption of production in the industrial chain?

  Xu Kemin, Director of Industrial Policy and Regulation Department of Ministry of Industry and Information TechnologyAt present, the average re-employment rate of the electronic information industry has reached 95%. From the perspective of key enterprises, the re-employment rate of SMIC, BOE, Huaxing Optoelectronics and other enterprises has exceeded 90%; Huawei has resumed work in an all-round way, and the compound yield is stable at 90%; 810,000 people have resumed work in 27 major factories of Foxconn, with an overall resumption rate of 93.7%.

From the perspective of major projects, major projects such as Changjiang Storage, Changxin, Huaxing Optoelectronics and Visionox are progressing smoothly.

  The electronic information industry has the characteristics of a long industrial chain, which is highly dependent on the supply chain system. The upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain need to work together to resume production. In this regard, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has mainly taken three measures: First, providing accurate services for enterprises. Establish "early communication" with key enterprises — The "late feedback" mechanism, through telephone, WeChat and video conference, can grasp the first-hand situation and enterprise demands in real time, coordinate and solve problems in a targeted manner, and provide accurate services.

  The second is to promote the resumption of production across regions and the entire industrial chain. Establish a cross-regional daily coordination and communication mechanism, guide local authorities at all levels to solve the problem of enterprises returning to work in real time, and follow up and implement them one by one. For example, in some areas, three-level work classes have been set up in provinces and cities. In solving the problem of returning to work, foreign employees are brought back to work through special trains and buses, and professional forces are coordinated to conduct nucleic acid testing on isolated employees, providing isolated buffer dormitories.

  The third is to coordinate and solve the demand for epidemic prevention materials. Help enterprises coordinate the urgent need for epidemic prevention materials such as forehead temperature guns, automatic thermometers and masks. At the same time, promote enterprises to use the Internet, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other new generation information technology means to ensure the resumption of work and production.

Create a market-oriented and legalized international port business environment. In the past ten years, the import and export of goods in China has increased by 14.7 trillion yuan.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has accelerated the construction of a new open economic system and made historic achievements in foreign trade development, which not only reflects the expansion in quantity, but also shows the improvement in quality. According to the unified deployment of the General Administration of Customs, the national customs focused on serving the overall economic and social development of the country, strengthened supervision and optimization services, and continued to create a market-oriented and legalized international port business environment, which promoted the high-quality development of foreign trade and greatly improved the level of cross-border trade facilitation.

The data recently obtained by the reporter from the General Administration of Customs shows that in the past ten years, the import and export volume of China’s goods trade has reached record highs, from 24.4 trillion yuan in 2012 to 39.1 trillion yuan last year, with an increase of 14.7 trillion yuan, close to the total import and export value in 2009; The international market share increased from 10.4% in 2012 to 13.5% last year, and the position of the world’s largest country in goods trade was further consolidated.

In the past ten years, the high-quality development of China’s foreign trade has continued to advance, the number of foreign trade business entities has increased by 1.7 times, the "circle of friends" of foreign trade has continued to expand, and trade with countries along the Belt and Road has continued to deepen and flow smoothly.

In the past ten years, the national customs has focused on customs clearance facilitation and issued a series of policies and measures, which has greatly improved the level of cross-border trade facilitation. The number of import and export supervision documents has been reduced from 86 to 41, and the overall customs clearance time has been reduced by more than half in four years.

Structural optimization of foreign trade with rising quality and quantity.

Wang Lingxun, deputy director of the General Administration of Customs, said that in the past ten years, the high-quality development of China’s foreign trade was mainly reflected in the simultaneous improvement of quantity and quality and structural optimization.

The structure of export commodities is more optimized, and mechanical and electrical products play the leading role. In 2021, China exported 21.73 trillion yuan, of which mobile phones, computers, integrated circuits and other mechanical and electrical products accounted for 12.83 trillion yuan, nearly 60%; Labor-intensive products such as clothing, shoes and hats are only 3.94 trillion yuan, accounting for 18.1%. The transformation and upgrading of China’s leading export industries from traditional labor-intensive products to high-tech industries fully reflects the continuous improvement of the quality, grade and added value of export products.

The scale of imports is constantly expanding and international economic and trade cooperation is mutually beneficial and win-win. In 2021, China imported 17.37 trillion yuan, an increase of 51.2% compared with 2012. China is the second largest importer in the world, and its imports of advanced technology and equipment, key components and high-quality consumer goods are constantly expanding.

"The continuous increase in the scale of China’s trade in goods fully demonstrates that China is not only a’ world factory’ but also a’ world market’. While providing the global market with inexpensive and dazzling goods, it also provides countries with broader opportunities for China market development." Wang Lingxun said.

The diversified development of trading partners has made the international market layout more reasonable. China’s traditional market trading partners, such as the European Union, the United States, Japan and South Korea, have a solid position, and the above trading partners will account for 38.3% of China’s foreign trade in 2021. At the same time, actively explore emerging markets such as ASEAN, Africa and Latin America, and the proportion of imports and exports with the above-mentioned trading partners increased from 22.2% in 2012 to 26.2% in 2021. Among them, ASEAN has continuously become China’s largest trading partner in the past two years. It is noteworthy that the scale of trade between China and countries along the Belt and Road has been expanding, and the proportion of China’s total foreign trade has increased from 25% in 2013 to 29.7% in 2021.

The number of foreign trade enterprises is increasing rapidly, and the vitality of market players is competing with generate. In 2021, the number of enterprises with import and export performance in China reached 567,000, including 476,000 private enterprises and 82,000 foreign-invested enterprises. From the perspective of import and export scale, private enterprises became the largest foreign trade subject in China in 2019, and the import and export value accounted for 48.6% in 2021. In the past ten years, China has continuously optimized the port business environment, increased support for small and medium-sized enterprises, and created a good environment for all kinds of market players to compete for development, providing confidence and confidence for enterprises to explore new markets and optimize the global market layout.

The new kinetic energy of foreign trade development is constantly stimulated, and the new advantages of competition are accelerated. The platform for opening to the outside world has played an obvious role. In 2021, the import and export of China’s comprehensive bonded zone, free trade pilot zone and Hainan Free Trade Port increased by 23.8%, 26.4% and 57.7% respectively. In terms of emerging trade formats, the scale of cross-border e-commerce and market procurement in China has expanded rapidly. In 2021, the import and export scale of cross-border e-commerce in China reached 1.92 trillion yuan, an increase of 18.6%.

The level of trade facilitation has greatly improved.

"The gap between us in overseas markets and our competitors in Europe and the United States’ traditional biomedical research and development powers lies in the lack of timeliness. If the import and export approval time is shorter, it will greatly speed up our development." In June this year, Xie Liangzhi, the chairman of Beijing Yiqiao Shenzhou Technology Co., Ltd., was still worried about the approval process for the import and export of special items for enterprises.

After learning about the situation, the leaders of Beijing Customs took the lead in contacting enterprises and implementing the "problem clearing" mechanism. Relevant departments conducted in-depth research and made precise policies, and finally opened intelligent approval for enterprises, including all the more than 60,000 kinds of special items that enterprises mainly engaged in. Now, the approval time has been upgraded from the previous three working days to the second release.

The business environment is of great importance. In Wang Lingxun’s view, in the past ten years, the customs has focused on customs clearance facilitation, and has made great achievements for a long time. It has issued a series of policies and measures and adopted a series of hard measures to continuously optimize the business environment at ports, and the level of cross-border trade facilitation has been greatly improved.

Promote decentralization and decentralization. The customs has made great efforts to cancel administrative licensing items, and the number of regulatory documents for import and export links has been reduced from 86 to 41. Up to now, only 10 administrative licensing items have been retained. At the same time, improve the online processing platform for customs administrative examination and approval, and make it more convenient for enterprises to go through the formalities. Vigorously promote the "double random and open" supervision, covering 28 administrative law enforcement inspection items of the customs.

Carry out special actions to facilitate cross-border trade. Press time, reduce documents, reduce costs, and create a market-oriented legal and international port business environment. In 2021, the overall customs clearance time for imports was 32.97 hours, which was reduced by more than 60% compared with 2017, and that for exports was 1.23 hours, which was reduced by more than 80% compared with 2017. The overall customs clearance time was reduced by more than half in four years. The customs actively coordinated the relevant competent departments to streamline their certificates and basically realized online verification. The list and standards of the national port charge catalogue have been made public.

Comprehensively promote the "single window" of international trade, and basically meet the "one-stop" business handling needs of enterprises. This year, the Customs implemented the "streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services" reform, and instructed more than 90,000 enterprises to handle the filing of customs declaration units in a "multi-certificate integration" way. We will promote the integrated reform of all business areas and further improve the level of trade facilitation.

Deepen cooperation with "Belt and Road" countries

Recently, 45 tons of fresh Kenyan avocado arrived in Shanghai on the freighter "Pilca Asia". The Customs of Waigaoqiao Port Area, which belongs to Shanghai Customs, opened up a "green channel" at the first time to fully guarantee the rapid customs clearance of fresh avocados that meet the quarantine requirements. "The efficient and convenient customs clearance guarantee has strengthened our confidence in further expanding the import scale of agricultural products in Africa." Liu Mosu, general manager of Shanghai Niuguo Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. said.

The reporter learned that during the "One Belt, One Road" international cooperation summit held in Beijing in April 2019, Kenya signed a bilateral protocol with China, and in June of the same year, the General Administration of Customs issued an announcement to allow Kenya to import frozen avocados that meet quarantine requirements, making Kenya the first country in Africa to export avocados to China. In June this year, with the approval of the General Administration of Customs, Kenyan fresh avocados were also allowed to enter China.

"Since the Belt and Road Initiative was put forward, China’s trade with countries along the route has become increasingly close." Wang Lingxun gave a set of data: from 2013 to 2021, the total import and export value of China and countries along the route increased from 25% to 29.7% of China’s total foreign trade value; Last year, countries with trade volume exceeding 1 trillion yuan with China included Vietnam and Malaysia, and countries with trade volume exceeding 800 billion yuan included Thailand and Indonesia.

With regard to the high-quality development of the "Belt and Road", the Customs has continuously deepened its cooperation with the countries of the "Belt and Road" in trade security and customs clearance facilitation, focusing on the mutual recognition of "AEO", the "single window" cooperation and exchange of international trade in China, and the networking of certificates of origin. Of the 48 countries and regions that have signed AEO mutual recognition agreements with China, 32 are countries (regions) that have jointly built the Belt and Road Initiative. At the same time, we will continue to expand the import access of high-quality agricultural products and foods in the "Belt and Road" countries, and from 2013 to 2021, we will promote more than 100 kinds of high-quality agricultural products in countries along the route to realize trade with China. Promote AEO mutual recognition and cooperation. There are nearly 4,000 advanced customs certification enterprises in China, which enjoy the same customs clearance facilities abroad as at home, reducing trade costs and creating a good external environment for China’s foreign trade.

In addition, the customs actively practices the "three intelligences" cooperation concept of "smart customs, smart borders and smart access". Relying on "intelligence", high-tech drives system innovation, advocates customs intelligent governance, border collaborative governance and global cooperative governance, promotes the safe, stable and smooth international supply chain, and promotes the safety and convenience of global trade. Up to now, the national customs has launched more than 140 "Three Intelligences" pilot projects, many of which involve cooperation with foreign customs, mainly those in countries and regions along the Belt and Road. By improving the level of intelligence, the cost of customs clearance for enterprises is reduced and the time limit for customs clearance is improved. (Reporter Cai Yanhong)

Chaoshan singing and dancing produced a non-legacy online drama "My Dad and I are 18 years old", which was grandly launched in Shantou.

At 8 o’clock on the morning of January 9, the online mini-drama "My Dad and I are 18 years old" was grandly launched in the old park lane of Shantou Small Park. The play was directed by the Propaganda Department of Shantou Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and Shantou Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Film and Television Tourism and Sports, produced by Shantou Dongsheng Media Co., Ltd., jointly produced by Hainan Qingqixiang Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Dianchengguang Culture Media Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Cenjun Culture Media Co., Ltd., and marketed by Shantou Dongsheng Media Co., Ltd. and Guangdong Eye Pigeon Culture Media Co., Ltd. Co-produced by Dianchengguang Film and Shantou Rongmedia Group, supported by Guangdong Network Audiovisual New Media Association, Shantou Tourism Investment Co., Ltd., Shantou Small Park Volunteers Association, many friends (Beijing), Shantou Repertory Theatre and Shantou Film Industry Association.

Producer Chen Shaogang, producer Zheng Shaoan, director Zhao Zijun, together with the main creators Qiu Dingjie, Ke Bolun, Chen Xiaoyu and Xing Hechu, and the specially invited Shantou Repertory Theatre team, attended the opening ceremony.

"My Dad and I are 18 years old" is based on singing and dancing, an intangible culture in Chaoshan. It tells the story that there is a contradiction between Lin Jiaxu and Lin Zihao because of an English song team. From the beginning, they don’t understand each other, and finally they understand each other and work together to carry forward the English song team. Father Lin Jiaxu’s sense of responsibility and persistence to the English singing team, and son Lin Zihao’s resentment to the English singing team, two emotions constantly collide and merge in a crossing, and finally interweave into a magnificent singing and dancing.

The sound of gongs and drums, long snake dance, colorful faces, colorful clothes, changing formations and ever-changing dance steps … "My Dad and I are 18 years old" will present singing and dancing’s dashing dance in the play. Chaoshan, as the main heritage of singing and dancing, is also the shooting place of this drama. From the field trip in the early stage to the actor training in the later stage, the crew spent a lot of time to deeply understand singing and dancing, an intangible culture, in order to restore the elegance of singing and dancing to the greatest extent and carry forward the charm of traditional folk culture.

In the rolling torrent of the times, some traditional folk cultures are facing the situation that no one inherits them, and in the end they can only become a page record in the history books. Under this background, My Dad and I are 18 years old focuses on the concept of cultural inheritance and cultural self-confidence. Focusing on the Chaoshan father and son, Lin Jiaxu and Lin Zihao, with the story of the life and death of an English singer team, we extend our discussion on where the declining traditional folk culture should go, and how the younger generation should explore the inheritance and development of traditional culture.

Nowadays, there are many singing and dancing teams in Chaoshan area, with members of all ages. The younger generation devoted themselves to the inheritance and development of singing and dancing out of recognition and love for the traditional culture of their hometown. My Dad and I are 18 years old, while presenting the elegant demeanor of singing and dancing, also shows that the younger generation inherits the indomitable spirit of the older generation. It is not only a letter from the father to his son, but also a confession letter from the former wave to the latter wave, and it is also a confession book left by the old times to the new era.

Here, people of different ages have different youth and different ideas. The world is unpredictable, and the only constant is the spirit of never giving up in the face of difficulties and going forward bravely, which is passed down through the bond of traditional culture.

At present, "My Dad and I are 18 years old" has officially started the intensive shooting schedule, and it is expected to meet the audience soon, so stay tuned!

10 companies, chaotic battery recycling until the era of power exchange?

According to Zhonggong Auto Network, on April 13th, Weilai’s first batch of third-generation power stations were put into operation in 10 cities including Haikou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Shanghai, Wuxi, Hefei, Zhengzhou, Qingdao, Beijing and Harbin, which once again triggered a heated discussion in the industry.

"With the (vigorous) development of electric vehicle industry, more and more people will enter this industry. You don’t have to worry about where to charge and where to change electricity in the future. As long as the car is easy to drive and the car is easy to use, the infrastructure will definitely keep up. " Shen Fei, senior vice president of Weilai Energy, told reporters.

So, what exactly is a power station change? What companies are involved in the field of power station replacement? What does it have to do with battery recycling?

development prospect

Break through the bottleneck of new energy vehicle development

With the continuous growth of the new energy vehicle market, improving the energy supply system has become the focus of the whole industry. In 2022, the total output of new energy vehicles in China reached 7.219 million, up 97.5% year-on-year, and the cumulative penetration rate reached 26.3%. From the perspective of construction speed, the increase of charging infrastructure in 2022 was 2.593 million units, of which the increase of public charging piles increased by 91.6% year-on-year, and the increase of private charging piles with vehicles continued to rise.

The rapid expansion of the new energy vehicle market means that both automobile manufacturers and end consumers have put forward greater demand for charging piles. The interests come first, and major companies want to break their heads to solve the "difficult charging".

Policies are favorable for popularization and application.

At the beginning of the 21st century, attempts have been made at home and abroad to exchange electricity for new energy vehicles, but they have not been widely promoted due to the policy environment, technical level, cost factors and market scale.

Since 2019, the sales growth rate of new energy vehicles in China has slowed down sharply, and the manufacturing cost is difficult to digest due to the substantial withdrawal of subsidies. The sales price of the whole vehicle is still high. At the same time, due to the inefficiency of charging infrastructure, the lack of self-owned parking spaces and the difficulty in expanding the power grid, the construction of charging piles is less than expected. In this context, the separation of vehicle and electricity has begun to attract attention. As a new way to replenish energy for new energy vehicles, the power exchange mode has been strongly supported by national policies.

Market situation

Industrial chain dismantling

Specifically, the battery replacement mode is to replace the battery of a new energy vehicle to meet the endurance needs of the owner, and it is a mode of separating the vehicle from the battery to replenish energy. In the market, new energy vehicle power exchange can be divided into passenger car power exchange and commercial truck power exchange, among which chassis power exchange and box power exchange are mainly used in passenger car market, and side power exchange is mainly used in commercial truck market.

The upstream of the power exchange industry chain consists of battery suppliers, power exchange station basic components suppliers and supporting charging system suppliers, which are respectively responsible for providing power batteries and power exchange station equipment corresponding to the application scope.

The middle reaches are mainly for the construction and operators of power exchange stations, responsible for the construction and operation of power exchange stations and providing power exchange services to the market. The battery asset company will be established from this, and will form cooperation with power battery enterprises and financial leasing companies to reduce the financial pressure.

The downstream is composed of power exchange service users and power battery recyclers.

The number of power exchange stations has increased rapidly.

From 2019 to 2022, the number of power stations in China continued to grow. In 2022, the number of power stations increased to 1973, an increase of 52% over the previous year. At present, China’s power exchange stations are concentrated in East China, accounting for 37.4%, followed by North China, accounting for 20.73%. This is mainly because the power exchange technology is still in the stage of technology research and development and upgrading, and there is a lot of demand for talents and technology.

According to the latest data, in March 2023, Beijing ranked first with 292 seats, while Guangdong Province and Zhejiang Province ranked second and third with 258 seats and 237 seats.

Analysis of market competition pattern

From the point of view of power exchange brand, in March, 1344 of Weilai became the leading operator of power exchange station, ranking third with Aodong and Hangzhou Botan. In 2021, Weilai built 789 power stations, more than three times as many as in 2020, 402 in Aodong and 107 in Hangzhou Botan. The three companies together accounted for 92.3%.

Top ten companies

NIO Power

NIO Power is a mobile Internet-based power-on solution launched by Weilai, with a wide network of charging facilities. Relying on Weilai cloud technology, it has built a "rechargeable, replaceable and upgradeable" energy service system to provide car owners with full-scene power-on services. In 2018, the battery rental model was introduced earlier in the industry, and it has a widely distributed network of charging and replacing facilities.

Aodong Aulton

Since 2000, Aodong New Energy has been focusing on the research and development of power exchange technology and the commercial operation of power exchange station network, with nearly 3,000 global patented technologies for power exchange, forming a closed loop of power exchange business such as research and development of core technologies for power exchange, commercial operation of power exchange station, urban distributed energy storage and battery life cycle management. Before 2021, Aodong New Energy was the operator with the largest number of power stations in China, and there were 286 power stations operated by Aodong in 2020. However, in recent two years, Weilai attached great importance to the research and development of power exchange technology and the construction layout of power exchange stations, and the number of power exchange stations in operation increased rapidly.

Botan technology

The builder of the commercial ecology and technical system of "separation of vehicles and electricity and battery replacement in different boxes" has realized the compatibility of battery replacement for all electric vehicles through the self-developed "standard box power battery" and "battery replacement in different boxes", and the power battery is highly utilized and recycled. "Vehicle-electricity separation and box-to-box electricity exchange" is the electricity exchange ecology with practical application at present.

Easy to recall energy

Geely Group’s brand of power-changing operation focuses on comprehensive energy-replenishing services for charging and replacing power, and at the same time provides services such as battery life cycle management and big data for smart transportation and smart energy.

Langu wisdom energy

BAIC Group, a national high-tech enterprise engaged in the business of power exchange and step utilization of power batteries, is also an enterprise that obtained the qualification of step utilization of power batteries earlier in Beijing. It has key technologies such as intelligent power exchange, energy integration, battery evaluation and cascade utilization.

It has fully deployed over 100 heavy truck charging and replacing power stations in 31 provinces and cities across the country, adapting to more than 200 heavy trucks on the market.

EVOGO

In January, 2022, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited officially released a brand-new brand EVOGO for power exchange, and at the same time, it also provided a combined overall solution for power exchange. The three products of "power exchange block, quick exchange station and APP" were used to solve the problems of power exchange and battery leasing. It is endowed with three characteristics: multi-vehicle with one power supply, on-demand electricity rental and rechargeable and exchangeable, so as to provide users with convenient and reliable mobile power solutions and services.

Jie neng zhi Dian

A joint venture invested by China Petrochemical, China Petroleum, SAIC, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited and Shanghai International Automobile City Group, which focuses on power battery leasing business. Jieneng Zhidian will carry out R&D and promotion of power exchange technology, battery operation management, big data services and other businesses, promote the construction of a complete ecosystem of vehicle and electricity separation, and build a standardized platform.

Battery asset management

Transformation of asset management model

Battery enterprises participate in the battery asset management business established under BaaS mode and are responsible for the daily operation and management of battery packs. Take Weilai as an example. In 2020, Weineng Asset Management Co., Ltd. was established to manage battery packs. The shareholders are Weilai Automobile, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, Hubei Ketou and Guotai Junan International.

Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, as a leading battery enterprise, participates in the last battery supplement under the business model. When Weilai Automobile sells cars, the battery packs will be directly sold to the battery asset management company, and consumers will buy new energy vehicles with separate cars and electricity. In the process of changing electricity, consumers will change power stations through Weilai, but the actual process is to rent battery packs from the battery asset management company.

The ownership of the new energy frame (excluding battery) belongs to the user, and the ownership of the power battery is transferred to the battery asset company. Users only need to pay the battery rental fee, without worrying about the depreciation caused by battery depreciation, and the "separation of vehicle and electricity" model has gradually matured.

Battery recovery depends on power exchange construction

Batteries belong to individuals, and because power batteries are non-standardized products, recycling is hindered. However, once the power exchange mode is open, these problems seem to be solved. After the separation of vehicles and electricity, the batteries no longer belong to individuals, and the subsequent recycling can naturally be completely in the hands of the power station, which can fundamentally curb the chaos of scrap batteries flowing into the black market and change the status quo that the regular army loses to small workshops.

In addition, car companies lead and implement the power exchange model to break the "gap" between car companies and recycling companies. Generally speaking, most car companies are reluctant to open their data to recycling companies, which makes it difficult for recycling companies to obtain information about batteries. However, if the recycling party and the car company are the same, the problem will be solved very well.

Future forecast

According to the market forecast, assuming that private cars and construction machinery change power once a day on average, and operating vehicles and commercial vehicles change power twice a day, by 2025, the demand for power stations for passenger cars will exceed 11,000, the demand for power stations for commercial vehicles will exceed 8,000, and the demand for power stations for construction machinery will exceed 700, with a total market space of 62.6 billion yuan.

Generally speaking, the essence of power exchange mode is to tap the whole life cycle value of power battery and realize the redistribution of interests of enterprises and consumers. Promoting power exchange mode can realize multi-party benefits.

Medical corruption in an audit investigation report

 

While affirming that Guangdong Province attaches great importance to the high-quality development of the pharmaceutical industry, the audit findings also point out that many pharmaceutical consumables distribution enterprises have increased intermediate sales links and raised the price of medical equipment, medical personnel have long accepted the benefits from pharmaceutical companies, and medical institutions have illegally purchased or used medical equipment.

On August 8th, an investigation report on special audit of People’s Republic of China (PRC) Audit Office (draft for comments) obtained by Economic Observer Network showed that three pharmaceutical manufacturers in Guangdong Province had used 4.077 billion yuan for public relations and other purposes, pushing up the ex-factory price of drugs.

In addition, while affirming that Guangdong Province attaches great importance to the high-quality development of the pharmaceutical industry, the audit findings also point out that many pharmaceutical consumables distribution enterprises have increased intermediate sales links and raised the price of medical equipment, medical personnel have long accepted the benefits from pharmaceutical companies, and medical institutions have illegally purchased or used medical equipment.

From the end of May to July, 2023, the audit team sent by the National Audit Office conducted a special audit investigation on the production, distribution and use of drugs and high-value medical consumables in Guangdong Province (excluding Shenzhen, the same below), focusing on the relevant administrative departments of drug supervision, medical security and health care in Guangdong Province, public hospitals, primary medical and health service institutions and other medical institutions, and the production and distribution enterprises of drugs and consumables.

People close to the Guangdong Health Care System told Economic Observer that the Guangdong Health Care System was indeed being audited some time ago and just ended. "This audit is very strict."

The above audit investigation report was signed by "Guangdong Provincial Special Audit Investigation Team on the Production, Distribution and Use of Drugs and High-value Medical Consumables", which was forwarded by the Guangdong Provincial Health and Health Commission Office to Guangzhou, Zhuhai, Foshan, Heyuan, Dongguan, Zhongshan Health Bureau (Commission), Provincial People’s Hospital, Provincial Second People’s Hospital, Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, Cancer Prevention Center of Sun Yat-sen University, Stomatological Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, Southern Hospital of Southern Medical University, and Second Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University.

The staff of the above-mentioned hospital confirmed to the Economic Observer that the investigation report forwarded by the Guangdong Provincial Health and Health Commission was true. The doctor of another hospital told Economic Observer that the hospital level issued several anti-corruption announcements.

Drug production enterprises collect funds for public relations.

Audit spot checks found that from 2021 to May 2023, three pharmaceutical manufacturers in Guangdong paid fees to 1,936 third-party business promotion companies, and withdrew 4.077 billion yuan in the name of service fees, which increased the comprehensive cost of drugs and pushed up the ex-factory price.

These three enterprises are Guangdong Yifang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Guangdong Yifang Company"), Guangzhou Poinsettia Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Guangzhou Poinsettia Company") and Livzon Group.

Among them, the Guangdong company paid 2.39 billion yuan to 966 business promotion companies in the name of "technical service fee", which was used for the pharmacy construction cost and labor cost of cooperative hospitals.

Guangzhou Poinsettia Company collected 1.675 billion yuan by registering conference service companies in batches, and assigned a third-party company to register and set up 962 conference service companies at the same address in the form of "cluster registration". The third-party company further decomposed the funds according to the requirements of Guangzhou Poinsettia Company and transferred them to specific personnel accounts to pay the public relations expenses of hospitals in various regions.

Livzon Group set up a consulting company through its employees to collect funds of 12.4001 million yuan, and the funds were transferred to the personal accounts of relevant employees for drug public relations.

In addition to pharmaceutical manufacturers, the audit investigation team also found that pharmaceutical consumables distribution enterprises increased intermediate sales links and pushed up the circulation price of medical equipment. The enterprises involved include Kangchao Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Sinopharm Equipment (Dongguan) Co., Ltd., and the products involved include Cao Qinghua Yixin Chushi Zhitong Capsule and other high-value medical consumables such as spinal internal fixators.

It is worth noting that there are also public hospitals that increase procurement intermediate links to make profits to subordinate enterprises. For example, from 2020 to May 2023, the Cancer Hospital affiliated to Sun Yat-sen University appointed Guangdong Guanhua Medical Service Company, a subsidiary of the trade union, to supply medical consumables for it, and Guangdong Guanhua Medical Service Company made a profit of 7,488,200 yuan, with an average price increase rate of 6.6%.

Medical personnel have long accepted the benefits delivered by pharmaceutical companies.

Audit investigation shows that domestic authoritative medical experts have long accepted exclusive service arrangements of foreign-funded pharmaceutical enterprises. Kehui Medical Devices International Trade (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Kehui Company") is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise, which mainly sells Covidien brand medical devices, and has long sponsored academic exchange activities organized by medical and pharmaceutical associations at all levels in China, and requires domestic distributors to pay accommodation, transportation, air tickets and other expenses for participating doctors and experts according to 2% of annual sales.

The audit spot check found that in 2022, Foshan Tailing Trading Co., Ltd., the brand distributor, paid 15.8117 million yuan for transportation, accommodation, catering and other expenses for medical experts and related personnel through nine travel agencies according to the instructions of Kehui Company, of which only one travel agency provided special follow-up, special car transfer and gifts for 272 authoritative experts in the medical field in China (including 63 in Guangdong Province) in seven meetings.

In addition, 4,782 medical staff illegally accepted the benefits delivered by foreign-funded pharmaceutical companies in the name of conference registration fees, involving pharmaceutical companies such as Bayer Healthcare Co., Ltd.

In addition, four medical experts from public hospitals received a targeted donation of 2.37 million yuan from pharmaceutical companies through the foundation of Guangdong Medical Association, involving five pharmaceutical companies including Beihai Kangcheng (Shanghai) Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

Medical institutions illegally purchase or use medical devices.

The audit investigation found that medical institutions illegally purchase or use medical devices, which has hidden hidden dangers of life and health and financial security.

The audit spot check found that three medical institutions, including Zengcheng Branch of Southern Hospital of Southern Medical University (hereinafter referred to as Zengcheng Branch of Southern Hospital), had problems such as determining the winning bidder in advance and purchasing large-scale medical equipment at a high price, involving funds of 73.0828 million yuan (including equipment price increase of 30.209 million yuan).

For example, in 2020, the then president of Zengcheng Branch of Southern Hospital organized the head of the department to conduct a feasibility study on purchasing X-ray computed tomography scanner, and determined the equipment of American GE Company quoted by Guangzhou Tangyun Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. In June 2021, the enterprise actually controlled by the company won the bid with the same brand and model equipment, with the winning bid amount of 29.49 million yuan, the purchase price of which was 14.287 million yuan, and the difference reached 15.2 million yuan.

In addition, the audit survey found that from 2018 to May 2023, a total of 491 medical institutions in Guangdong Province entrusted Guoyi Tendering Co., Ltd. to carry out bidding for more than 10,000 large-scale medical equipment or consumables procurement projects, with a total project amount of 22.386 billion yuan. Among them, only 3 companies participated in the bidding for nearly 9,000 projects.

Zengcheng Branch of Southern Hospital illegally purchased a proton radiotherapy system equipment without the permission of National Health Commission Class A large-scale medical equipment configuration, and paid 50% of the purchase price of 120 million yuan from the special government debt before the main components were shipped.

In terms of illegal use of medical devices, two medical institutions, including Zhongshan People’s Hospital, repeatedly used 2409 disposable ultrasonic blades, involving 15,100 person-times, involving medical insurance fund of 7,730,600 yuan. The Stomatological Hospital of Southern Medical University applied the "ultrasonic osteotome" used in the operation to the charging item of "additional ultrasonic scalpel", and illegally charged 67.2031 million yuan for medical treatment and 5.7011 million yuan for medical insurance fund.

The audit investigation also found that Guangdong Medical Association received 52,056,200 yuan from 329 pharmaceutical companies to designate doctors to promote their products. Guangdong Medical Association fraudulently distributed lecture fees and preparation fees of 169,600 yuan to medical experts in violation of regulations.

It is worth noting that the audit survey results also pointed out that Guangdong Province attaches great importance to the high-quality development of the pharmaceutical industry, actively promotes comprehensive reforms in the pharmaceutical field, and continuously optimizes the business environment of pharmaceutical enterprises, achieving good results. In view of the problems found in the above audit investigation, the audit investigation team also gave a number of suggestions.

On August 8, Economic Observer Network called the investor relations department of Livzon Group several times, but it was not connected. Ask Bayer China for an interview and get no reply; The relevant person in charge of Beihai Kangcheng responded that his company had not received a notice to cooperate with the investigation, and it was not clear about the specific situation.

2020 major scientific and engineering challenges

link

Frontier science issues

What is the ecological mechanism of cross-species transmission of coronaviruses?

  At present, COVID-19 is raging around the world. Virologists have repeatedly warned that cross-species transmission of coronaviruses is a high probability event. The background situation of wild animals such as bats carrying coronaviruses and how wild animals break through ecological and physiological barriers to cause cross-species transmission and infection are still unclear at the scientific level. This question is of great significance for revealing the cross-species transmission mechanism of coronaviruses and preventing future epidemics caused by coronaviruses.

Question 2: How will the attractive force wave reveal the mysteries of the universe?

  Since the first direct detection of attractive force waves in 2015, attractive force waves have rapidly become a hotspot in the frontier research of basic physics and astrophysics in the world, and it is expected that there will be a historical opportunity for major breakthroughs in the origin of the universe in more than ten years. Attractive force waves open a new window for observing the universe. By observing the generation and distribution of attractive force wave sources in the universe, it is expected to answer the deep scientific questions left over from the standard model of general relativity and particle physics, thereby deepening the understanding of nature.

Question 3: How does Earth’s material evolve and circulate?

  The earth’s materials are mainly divided into rocks and minerals. People’s understanding of the evolution and circulation of magmatic rocks and metamorphic rocks in the earth’s historical period is blurred due to the lack of comprehensive analysis of big data. Using the comprehensive analysis of big data platforms and deep-time big data systems on the earth, it is possible to establish a connection between the basic course and special events of mineral evolution and planetary geological evolution, clarify the evolution law and coupling relationship of planetary earth and its multiple circles from the perspective of mineral evolution, and answer the basic scientific questions about how planetary earth evolves and whether there is a co-evolution relationship between various circles of the earth.

Question 4: What will a fifth-generation nuclear energy system look like?

  In 2000, the Fourth Generation Nuclear Energy System International Forum initiated by the US Department of Energy divided the development of nuclear energy into four generations. At present, the research on the fifth generation nuclear energy system is still in the exploratory and exchange stage, and there is no mature concept definition and goal definition, and there is little talk about its realization path. If it can promote the implementation and final realization of the concept of the fifth generation nuclear energy system, it can reform the concept of nuclear energy development, the model of nuclear energy development, the concept of nuclear energy application, and support the deep decarbonization of the energy system; lead the world in nuclear energy innovation, and help China become the world’s nuclear energy innovation highland.

What is the scientific principle of special energy field-assisted manufacturing?

  With the continued demand for lightweight and safety in aerospace, transportation, and other fields, high-strength materials, including ultra-high-strength steels, light alloys, composites, and intermetallic compounds, are applied to complex components. As material strength increases, manufacturing difficulty increases significantly, and forming defects are more difficult to control. Existing research shows that special energy field-assisted forming technology has great potential in improving the manufacturing challenges of high-strength and difficult-to-deform materials.

Question 6: How can digital transportation infrastructure promote the coordinated development of autonomous driving and vehicles?

  In the future, the large-scale social operation of autonomous vehicles will inevitably appear, which will be a change for the transportation system, and the road transportation system is facing the challenge of evolution and replacement. For the research on new road infrastructure to support the social operation of autonomous driving, our country is still in its infancy, and there is no ready-made advanced technology and experience abroad to learn from. It is necessary to transfer the support of autonomous driving research to the research of intelligent supply on the infrastructure side and the research of comprehensive integrated landing application in a timely manner.

Question 7: What is the mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine that regulates human immune function?

  Although the basic research of immunology has made remarkable achievements and medicine is also developing by leaps and bounds, it is still insufficient in the prevention and treatment of many difficult and serious diseases. Autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis still plague patients. The occurrence, development, and outcome of these major and difficult diseases are closely related to immunity. Traditional Chinese medicine can act on the body at multiple levels, targets, and pathways, regulate the body’s immune function, and has important application value in disease prevention and treatment.
