Great Wall Gun insists on creating a user brand with users, and constantly links people in cross-country, refitting, mountaineering and other interest circles to create a full-scene pickup truck life and lead the development of pickup truck culture in China.

At the scene, Great Wall Gun invited two extreme life players, Abu, a paraglider pilot, and He Haohao, the goddess of waterinfo, to appear at the booth of Great Wall Gun as the co-founders of Shanhai Culture.

As a luxury pickup truck with extreme strength, Shanhai Gun will take "Shanhai Culture" as the core, through a series of activities such as Shanhaixing, Shanhaiying and Shanhai Haowu; Shanhai Gun will also open the recruitment of 100 Shanhai Culture Co-creation Officers on global platforms such as TikTok and the Great Wall Gun APP.

Brother Wheel’s quick comment:

At the Chengdu Auto Show, the Great Wall Gun ushered in the product rejuvenation of the 2.0 era. As the first high-end pickup truck brand in China to break through 300,000 units, Great Wall Gun will continue to exert its strength to take advantage of two major categories of leisure and fashion business in the future, and compete with the international mainstream high-end pickup truck brands, making China pickup trucks popular all over the world.

　　On August 22, the Ministry of Public Security held a press conference to report the effectiveness of the special action measures taken by public security organs nationwide to crack down on gun and explosion crimes this year. It was introduced at the meeting that since the beginning of this year, the number of gun and explosion crimes nationwide has dropped by 16% year-on-year.

　　Report by the masses

　　Since the beginning of this year, all localities have received 1052 clues about gun explosions.

　　Qi Xiguo, deputy director of the Public Security Administration Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, pointed out that in recent years, the Ministry of Public Security has continuously launched a special campaign to crack down on illegal crimes of gun explosion, and the number of illegal items of gun explosion in society has been greatly reduced, and the number of gun and explosion crimes has been greatly reduced. In 2022, it has dropped to the lowest level in history, and China has become one of the countries with the lowest incidence of violent crimes of gun explosion in the world.

　　Combined with the ongoing crackdown on public security in summer, the Ministry of Public Security and relevant departments launched a new round of three-year special campaign to crack down on gun and explosion crimes nationwide.

　　On June 8 this year, the Ministry of Public Security took the lead in convening a video deployment meeting of the national special campaign to crack down on gun and explosion crimes, and specially mobilized and deployed a new round of special actions.

　　Qi Xiguo introduced that around the three key points of domestic trafficking, online trafficking and overseas smuggling, the public security organs deployed and launched a battle to arrest fugitives, and listed 70 major gun explosion cases. Since the beginning of this year, 13,000 cases of gun explosions have been investigated in various places, 37 gangs have been destroyed, 258 dens have been destroyed, and 14,000 suspects have been arrested.

　　At the same time, the public security organs, in conjunction with relevant departments, will intensify the interception and investigation of the first-line border and key ports, strengthen the safety inspection of passengers taking public transport, and urge the delivery enterprises to strictly implement the "three systems" of receiving and sending inspection, real-name receiving and sending, and over-the-plane security inspection, and strictly investigate the illegal guns and explosives illegally carried and transported. Since the beginning of this year, 43,000 guns, 1.1 million bullets, 25 tons of explosives and 103,000 detonators have been collected in various places.

　　In the name of the inter-ministerial joint meeting, the public security organs listed and rectified 17 key areas of gun explosion problems, deepened online inspections with relevant departments, and comprehensively cleaned up illegal and harmful information such as selling guns and explosives online, spreading gun explosion production techniques and criminal methods. The public security organs deployed and carried out special rectifications such as the safety inspection of guns and explosives, the investigation and rectification of bullet transportation, and the safe production of civil explosives. Since the beginning of this year, all localities have investigated 2.99 million gun blasting business units and rectified 11,000 potential safety hazards.

　　In addition, Qi Xiguo introduced that since the beginning of this year, all localities have received 1052 clues about gun explosions reported by the masses. According to this, the police have cracked 379 cases and cashed in 260,000 yuan.

　　Criminal policy

　　Voluntary surrender before October 31 will be given leniency.

　　Recently, the Ministry of Public Security, together with the Supreme People’s Court and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, issued the Circular on Collecting Illegal Guns and Explosions and Severely Cracking down on Crimes Related to Guns and Explosions, which was widely posted and publicized in various places. The "Circular" clarifies the criminal policy of combining leniency with severity, and gives leniency to those who voluntarily surrender, surrender and expose before October 31 this year. Those who fail to surrender and hand over illegal items after the deadline will be severely punished according to law. At the same time, it is clear that rewards will be given for reporting illegal and criminal activities such as guns, explosions, crossbows and knives, and the masses and personnel of relevant units will be prompted to fulfill their voluntary reporting obligations.

　　At the press conference, Chen Hongxiang, vice president of the Fourth Criminal Court of the Supreme People’s Court and a first-class senior judge, said that the people’s courts will adhere to the policy of combining leniency with severity and treating them differently, strictly grasp the boundaries of policies, and ensure the organic unity of political, legal and social effects. Zhang Jianzhong, deputy director of the Second Public Prosecutor’s Office of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, said that from January to July this year, procuratorial organs across the country approved the arrest of more than 600 cases and more than 800 people involved in gun explosion crimes, and prosecuted more than 3,000 cases and more than 4,000 people.

　　"Procuratorial organs insist on distinguishing situations and treating them differently. According to the law, the strictness is strict and the leniency is wide." Zhang Jianzhong said that those who have little social danger and less subjective malignancy illegally hold a small number of guns due to personal collection, hobbies, historical legacy, etc., voluntarily surrender their guns without causing serious consequences, and have legal circumstances such as surrender and meritorious service, will be given a lenient and lighter punishment according to law, and those who do not prosecute will make a decision not to prosecute according to law to ensure that the crime and punishment are compatible.

　　Source supervision

　　Strengthen daily supervision and prevent gun explosion from "black under the lamp"

　　Qi Xiguo, deputy director of the Public Security Administration of the Ministry of Public Security, said that judging from the special actions in recent years, the total number of gun explosion cases is still relatively large. After years of continuous crackdown and rectification, although violent crimes involving guns and explosions have dropped to a record low, the total number of illegal crimes of selling guns and explosives and illegal possession and possession of guns and ammunition investigated and dealt with every year is still relatively large, and the potential security risks are still relatively large.

　　At present, online manufacturers are still active, and there are still many participants on the Internet who "help each other" to buy gun parts and explosive materials, and illegally make gun and explosive articles for entertainment or seeking excitement. At the same time, at present, internal and external links are still frequent, and cases of smuggling weapons and ammunition rebound obviously. In recent years, a small number of overseas personnel and companies aim at the characteristics of low cost and sophisticated technology of hardware processing in China, order gun parts in large quantities and smuggle them out of the country through false reports, which objectively gives birth to a number of underground dens.

　　In addition, at present, the problem of confluence is still outstanding. Guns and explosives are mostly involved in the smuggling and trafficking of bulk drugs, and the characteristics of protecting drugs with guns are obvious. At the same time, explosives are still important tools for terrorists to obtain.

　　In view of the above situation, in the new round of special action to crack down on rectification, the public security organs and relevant departments will highlight several key points.

　　On the one hand, we will crack down on domestic manufacturers and dealers, establish the concept of intelligence guidance and investigation, enhance the ability of forecasting and early warning, upgrade the methods of combating technical warfare, highlight major cases, dig deep and thoroughly, and strive to fight actively, accurately and thoroughly. At the same time, strictly investigate overseas smuggling, and prevent the smuggling of guns and explosives into and out of the country. Taking the clues of the cases under investigation as the breakthrough point, we will strengthen international law enforcement cooperation and jointly arrest fugitives at home and abroad.

　　We will strictly control key areas, compact the main responsibility of Internet enterprises, strictly implement the management system, strengthen the governance of key platforms, resolutely eradicate the soil that breeds and spreads online, strengthen the safety supervision of delivery logistics and freight industry, increase the application of security inspection technology and equipment, and completely block illegal circulation channels.

　　In addition, the source supervision will be strictly enforced, and the daily supervision of gun-related and explosive-related business units will be strengthened to prevent the problem of "black under the lamp". Strengthen the control of raw materials that are easy to make guns and explosives, establish and improve institutional measures to prevent them from being illegally obtained and used.

Hualong News (Qi Che) On April 18th, Changan Yidong ushered in the 1.7 millionth production car off the assembly line. As the leader of the "national sedan" in China car market, Changan Yidong has been evolving since it was first launched in March 2012. After three generations of development, it has accumulated a good user reputation; In other words, in the past 12 years, the average monthly sales of Changan Yidong exceeded 11,000 vehicles.

The history of China brand cars can be regarded as a miniature of the development history of China automobile industry.

Looking back, in 2012, the top 10 car sales list was almost firmly occupied by joint venture models, and few models of China brand appeared on the list. Break it! Need strength. In 2024, China cars have entered the hinterland of joint venture brands, competing with them, and at the same time, they have achieved quite eye-catching sales results. There is no love for no reason, and there is no success for no reason. The 12-year long layout, to a certain extent, represents the earth-shaking changes in the automobile market between the Year of the Loong and China.

Twelve years of Yidong Road, a road to the growth of China cars.

In March of this year, Yidong officially ushered in the "Twelfth Birthday".

In the field of family cars, Changan Yidong has been deeply cultivated for 12 years, which can be said to be an "evergreen tree of family cars". It is not only a witness to the rise of China automobile brands, but also a participant. Let me talk about a little knowledge first. It is also one of the few domestic models that can continue to evolve to the third generation. From the first generation of products to the next generation of products, Changan Yidong always has better performance than its peers.

At the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2011, Changan Automobile made a high-profile world premiere of a brand-new strategic model, and announced its Chinese and English name-EADO Yidong, which was the first time that Yidong stood in the center of the world automobile stage! In fact, Yidong itself is a product with global genes, and its vehicle shape is designed by Changan Automobile’s European Design Center in Italy. Therefore, after the first generation of Yidong was listed in Hangzhou Grand Theatre on March 27th, 2012, it became an instant hit!

In the first year, Changan Yidong won the first prize of China Automobile Industry Association’s scientific and technological progress and the honor of "C-NCAP’s new five-star safety". In the China automobile market ten years ago, it was still a joint venture brand, and Yidong ranked first in the market segment for 27 consecutive months. In 2016, without the accumulation of CRC race data, Chang ‘an Yidong Team won the first stop in Group S2 in China Rally Championship, the largest and highest-level car race in China, with a retirement rate of 66.2%. At this point, the name of Chang’ an Yidong began to become a household name!

Six years later, in 2018, Changan Yidong ushered in the first replacement, which not only used the family-style big mouth design, but also further improved its product strength, especially its technical strength. For safety, Yidong never compromises; One of the most obvious cases is that the braking distance of the second generation Yidong is only 35.6 meters. This achievement also declares that Changan vehicles can compete with the top luxury brands in the world in the field of smooth braking. In 2019, the second generation Yidong won the C-NCAP five-star safety evaluation.

By the end of 2019, Yidong has launched a new "PLUS", a new generation of high-efficiency power combination of Blue Whale, a smart and luxurious driving cabin, and a handsome sports model … The industry once again saw the amazing strength of Yidong car system after its evolution in the car field. At the CTCC in 2021, Yidong PLUS Blue Whale won the drivers’ cup and manufacturers’ cup in the first battle, and created the fastest lap in this field with excellent results; In the same year, Yidong won the first place in China Automobile Customer Satisfaction Assessment (CACSI) for its own brand cars.

Since then, the 2022 Yidong PLUS has once again pushed the product strength and cost performance of the vehicle to a new height. In addition to the innovation in the power system, great changes have been made in the cockpit vision and human-computer interaction system. The fashionable and popular dual-screen instruments, including the multimedia car system, are embedded with voice recognition and 5G network to support multi-APPlication of network app. Changan Yidong has become a mobile life carrier, which is both practical and playable, and has improved the configuration level of "National Car".

In March, 2024, based on the 40th anniversary of Changan’s car-building, the third generation of Yidong inherited the reputation of 1.7 million users, and it has a number of advantages in the same level, including the leading oversized body size, the unique oversized panoramic sunroof, the leading large-size "double smart big screen", the leading super power combination, the leading "all-around" design language, etc., and the hidden door handle, 540 high-definition panoramic image, and inductive tail. Of course, the most interesting thing is the leading AI Super Brain Xiao An at the same level. On the basis of the original voice assistant, it deeply integrates the powerful understanding ability and knowledge question-and-answer ability of the big model; It can be said that the third generation of Yidong is the first time to popularize AI intelligence to the "family car".

In the past twelve years, Chang ‘an Yidong has constantly refreshed itself and kept pace with the times. It is also through this relentless struggle that Changan Yidong can continuously meet or even exceed consumers’ expectations in the highly competitive car market, and finally create a beautiful talk of "evergreen national sedan". Success is not accidental. "Twelve years’ campaign, three generations’ evolution and 1.7 million users" is a milestone and a brand-new beginning for Changan Yidong.

Rushing out of the joint venture, why can escape the kinetic energy to reshape the car pattern

In the automobile market, it is easy to "fire" for one year, but it is very difficult to "fire" for ten years; Especially compared with the fiery SUV market, "the car market has always been a place of pain for its own brands". Friends who are familiar with the history of automobile development in China must deeply agree with this statement. Therefore, the success of Yidong series is not only the success of the development pattern of Changan automobile SUV and car, but also the witness of the independent brand car breaking the joint venture monopoly.

Over the years, due to the difficulty of car breakthrough, many China brands have almost given up the car market; Moreover, many joint venture models, including Sylphy and LaVida, adopt the strategy of multi-generation under one roof, and the prices are constantly dropping, so there is not much market space left for China brands. In the most difficult car market, Yidong has torn a hole in the encirclement of joint venture brands, making China cars a high-quality choice, and making joint venture brands have to lower their prices and give more sincere configurations.

Why can Yidong become an "evergreen tree of national sedan chair"? Actually, if you ask me, it’s not a secret! It is nothing more than doing a good job in products and truly solving the needs of users, rather than shouting the slogan of "everything is user-centered". This sentence is easy to say, but how many car companies have really done it? Just like a data specially mentioned by Zhu Huarong, Chairman of Changan Automobile, "the failure rate of thousands of vehicles has reached single digits", which is an important progress for Changan Automobile to establish and improve its R&D and manufacturing system for many years, and it is also where its confidence lies. The choice of 1.7 million users must have felt this sincerity.

We often say, "You can see a leopard in a tube.".

With more and more products like the third generation Yidong, the China brand has gradually regained its own territory. Data show that in 2023, the cumulative sales of China brand passenger cars have reached 14.596 million, up 24.1% year-on-year, and the annual market share reached 56%, up 6.1 percentage points over the previous year. It can be seen that with the rapid development of automobile brands in China, more and more domestic models as excellent as Yidong have been recognized by the market, which has directly boosted the market share of China brand passenger cars, which is undoubtedly a great progress of China brand and deserves everyone’s pride!

Automobile evaluation

Twelve years after its birth, three generations have evolved, and its sales volume has exceeded 1.7 million. Changan Yidong has successfully established the benchmark image of China cars, which is behind Changan Automobile’s constant pursuit of technology, in-depth insight into the market and constant spur on itself. The third generation of Yidong is by no means the end, and every progress of the market needs the promotion of excellent latecomers; As Zhu Huarong, Chairman of Changan Automobile, said: "In the next 10 years, a world-class China brand will be born in the world, and Changan Automobile will be among them!"

　　With the dual drive of policy and market, China’s new energy vehicle market has experienced explosive growth in the past 10 years. However, it should not be ignored that the first batch of power batteries for new energy vehicles are aging, and a "retirement tide" of power batteries is coming.

　　According to the quality assurance ability of 20% battery decay in 8 years of general vehicle manufacturers, China has ushered in a rapid increase in the number of retired power batteries for new energy vehicles since 2017. It is estimated that the number of retired batteries will reach 9.3 billion watt-hours in 2025, and the number of retired batteries will increase by more than 1 million orders of magnitude every year. This will bring huge potential market value of ladder utilization. If the retired batteries are recycled according to the method of first step and then regeneration, it is estimated that the total market size will reach 37.9 billion yuan by 2025.

　　As we all know, batteries contain a variety of heavy metal elements, which will cause environmental harm if not handled properly. What will happen when the waste power battery has a huge potential market scale and meets the recycling market system that needs to be improved? What are the "blocking points" that need to be opened?

　　1. Value and risk of a "retired" power battery

　　According to the national standard of new energy vehicles, power batteries can often be "retired" with more than 80% remaining. This makes the power battery still have great use value after it is retired from the vehicle, which not only forms a huge potential market, but also means certain environmental risks.

　　"Generally speaking, after the service life of power batteries is 5-8 years, we encourage ‘ Retired ’ Step use of battery. Although the battery’s cruising range is reduced, it can’t meet the needs of vehicles, but it can be recycled for other energy storage needs, and it can still continue ‘ Service ’ For a while, you can also choose the recycling of batteries in the future. " Jia Jingchun, an associate professor at the School of Chemistry and Environmental Sciences of Inner Mongolia Normal University, introduced.

　　Liu Wanmin, an associate professor at material chemistry of Hunan Institute of Technology, told the reporter: "‘ Retired ’ Power batteries can be widely used in power system energy storage, backup power supply for communication base stations, low-speed electric vehicles and small distributed household energy storage, wind and solar complementary, electric forklifts and other fields. Generally, it can be used to about 60% of the initial capacity of the battery. According to different usage scenarios, the service life can range from several months to several years. "

　　It still has the use value of several years, which makes "step by step utilization first, then recycling" become the first choice for recycling "retired" power batteries. Cascade utilization refers to the application of "retired" power batteries in other fields. Recycling is to disassemble, crush and screen the "retired" battery, and extract lithium, cobalt, nickel and other metal elements from the battery by leaching hydrometallurgy or pyrometallurgy, and use them in the production of secondary batteries.

　　The reporter learned that power batteries contain metal elements such as lithium, cobalt, manganese and nickel, and the cost of raw materials accounts for 50%~70% of the total cost. The lithium salt and cobalt salt consumed by power batteries have become the largest proportion in all application fields of lithium and cobalt. With the rapid consumption of primary resources, the recovery of secondary resources should reach the corresponding level. Since the release of National Mineral Resources Planning (2016-2020), China has reserved rare earth metal minerals as strategic resources. Therefore, recycling metal elements in power batteries can not only better develop circular economy, but also effectively alleviate China’s long-term dependence on such resources.

　　However, Jia Jingchun also pointed out that lithium batteries contain heavy metals such as lithium, and some batteries use organic electrolytes and organic separators. Different from the simple recycling method of traditional lead-acid batteries, the metal recycling process of lithium-ion batteries is relatively complicated. Once improperly operated, these heavy metals and organic electrolytes will bring serious threats to the environment.

　　"After the battery is dismantled, we generally use hydrometallurgy or pyrometallurgy to recycle lithium, nickel, cobalt and other metal elements. Improper disassembly will lead to many problems such as safety, environment and resources. From the safety point of view, there are hidden dangers such as electric shock, short-circuit explosion and hydrofluoric acid corrosion. From the environmental point of view, there are heavy metal pollution such as cobalt and nickel, fluorine pollution and white pollution caused by battery diaphragm. From the perspective of resources, there is a waste of high-priced resources such as lithium, nickel and cobalt. " Liu Wanmin said.

　　2. Battery recycling enterprises face three major challenges.

　　Although the recycling potential is huge, at present, there is no leading enterprise in the power battery recycling market, and even some chaos has occurred. Earlier, some media reported that many host manufacturers have established battery recycling business. However, some power batteries did not flow into the formal channels, but were bought at high prices by unqualified and highly polluting small factories and improperly treated, causing hidden dangers of secondary environmental pollution. Why is this so?

　　"First, at present, users of new energy vehicles are not strong enough to recycle power batteries; Second, the recycling price of some small workshops is much higher than that of regular recycling enterprises; Third, the enterprises that recycle batteries have high qualification requirements, which leads to a limited number of formal recycling enterprises; Fourth, the recycling technology is immature and the recycling business model lacks innovation. " Liu Wanmin analyzed.

　　Among them, the ladder utilization and recycling is the most difficult. Although China has become the country with the best development of new energy vehicles in the world, power battery is still a new technology. In the eyes of the industry, enterprises still face three major challenges in battery recycling: inconvenient battery disassembly, unknown residual value of battery health and low economic benefits.

　　The complexity of "retired" batteries is high. Different power batteries have different internal and external structural designs, module connection methods and process technologies, and only have square, cylindrical, soft bag and other shapes. This directly led to the later disassembly work can not be large-scale operation, which increased the difficulty of disassembly and labor costs. If the operation is improper, it is more likely that short circuit will cause fire or explosion, leakage will pollute the surrounding environment and threaten the health of employees, resulting in casualties and property losses.

　　At present, there is no data record of the usage of some "retired" power batteries, only the original data when they leave the factory, and the usage process and current state are unknown. Before the power battery is used step by step, each module must be tested, which greatly increases the cost of the enterprise. At the same time, based on the limited data, the prediction of the remaining life is not accurate enough, which will undoubtedly increase the quality risk of the products.

　　The above factors make the economic benefit of recycling power batteries low. A staff member of a battery recycling enterprise told the reporter that the small workshop gave up many key links such as detection and discharge in battery recycling, and the operators did not receive professional training, so the operating cost was much lower than that of regular enterprises, thus having more room for bargaining power and battery acquisition cost, which caused vicious competition with regular enterprises.

　　3. The maintenance traceability of the "ID card" of the power battery has not been smooth.

　　In fact, as early as 2016, China has issued the "Implementation Plan for Extended Producer Responsibility System", requiring the establishment of a recycling system for electric vehicle power batteries. The plan points out that electric vehicle and power battery manufacturers should be responsible for establishing a waste battery recycling network, recycling waste batteries through after-sales service network, and publishing recycling information to ensure standardized recycling and safe disposal of waste batteries. Power battery manufacturers should implement product coding and establish a full life cycle traceability system.

　　On July 31, 2018, the national monitoring platform for new energy vehicles and the comprehensive management platform for the traceability of power batteries (hereinafter referred to as "the national traceability management platform") was launched. The platform was built by the National Engineering Laboratory for Electric Vehicles of Beijing Institute of Technology, and its main function was to collect information and monitor the whole process of power batteries’ production, sales, use, scrapping, recycling and utilization, so as to realize that the source of power batteries can be traced, the destination can be traced and the nodes can be controlled.

　　At present, the national traceability platform has collected more than 5.6 million vehicle information data, including new energy passenger cars, buses, special vehicles, etc., and the total number of supporting batteries exceeds 8.9 million, with batteries exceeding 28 billion watt-hours. It involves more than 290 new energy vehicle manufacturers and more than 180 battery companies.

　　The establishment of the whole life cycle traceability system means that every car’s battery has its own "ID card". But why do batteries still flow into small workshops? Some insiders pointed out that although China has established a traceability management system, due to the lack of mandatory policies, enterprises have problems such as serious lag, incompleteness and difficulty in traceability when reporting data. At the same time, the current policies and regulations are not binding on how car owners deal with batteries, which also gives small workshops an opportunity to buy power batteries.

　　"In 2015, China’s technical policy has clearly stated that a power battery coding system will be established. The Interim Measures for the Management of Recycling in 2018 proposed the establishment of a power battery traceability information management system, coding technical standards and related information sharing mechanisms. However, in reality, there are many types and quantities of enterprises involved, such as battery manufacturers, battery maintenance and replacement institutions, battery leasing enterprises, and cascade utilization enterprises. The battery life cycle is as long as several years, and coding maintenance is difficult. " Liu Wanmin said.

　　Jia Jingchun said: "Professional battery recycling is a large-scale system engineering. How to recycle requires coordination from all sides, especially the cooperation of automobile manufacturers, battery manufacturers and related extension industries. Once a link in the whole cycle is unreasonable, it will inevitably lead to problems of lag and other derivatives in recycling. "

　　4. The national standard system for battery recycling still needs to be improved.

　　By the end of 2020, China’s National Standardization Administration Committee has issued five national standards for the recycling of vehicle batteries, basically forming a standard system framework. In addition, the regulatory policies for the recycling of power batteries, the relevant standards of the echelon industry and the industry regulatory system are also being improved. However, some insiders pointed out that most of the standards currently issued are recommended standards, and there are problems such as insufficient binding force and lack of superior law in the implementation process.

　　"At present, new energy owners are interested in ‘ Retired ’ In fact, most people are still vague about how to dispose of batteries. Some car companies have introduced battery replacement, such as full mileage or ‘ Service ’ Time for battery replacement and recycling. However, the large-area battery life of new energy vehicles has not yet arrived. " Jia Jingchun said that he pointed out that over time, new energy owners will gradually become more experienced in how to properly handle power batteries. "At present, we should establish corresponding supervision and legislation to ensure that used batteries can be returned to manufacturers or recycling enterprises. At the same time, the supervision of battery production and use must be formed. After leaving the factory, traceability, use tracking and battery destination after use all need a set of supervision mechanisms. "

　　Many experts in the industry pointed out that in order to speed up the recycling of power batteries, in addition to strengthening the implementation of the producer extension system, there are still three aspects to be improved in the future: first, we must strengthen publicity and raise consumers’ awareness of environmental protection; Second, we should formulate policies to subsidize or reward enterprises that actively participate in battery recycling, and at the same time crack down on non-compliant recycling; The third is to speed up the transformation of intelligent equipment in enterprises, improve the efficiency of battery recycling, reduce the recycling cost through economies of scale, improve the bargaining power of enterprises, and provide effective protection for the normal operation of enterprises, thus fundamentally solving the industrial problems of high cost and low profit and guiding the further standardization of battery recycling.

　　As many batteries go online, there are many batteries to be "retired". As an important part of the development of new energy vehicle industry in the future, the healthy and standardized development of power batteries is very important.

　　This year’s government work report mentioned that the construction of power battery recycling system will be accelerated. At the national level, China has accelerated the legislative process of power battery recycling. In addition, the reporter learned that on March 29, 2021, the national evaluation and trading platform for "retired" power batteries of new energy vehicles (also known as battery house) was established in Foshan City, Guangdong Province.

　　The platform will aggregate the resources of the National Engineering Laboratory for Electric Vehicles, the National Monitoring and Management Platform for Battery Traceability and the specialized committee for recycling new energy batteries, and strive to maximize the battery utilization rate. Based on the blockchain technology, it will provide many services for new energy automobile enterprises, such as performance evaluation of big data power batteries, offline laboratory testing and online trading of power batteries, and it is also expected to help solve the industrial problems such as difficult recycling, limited sales channels and lack of rapid performance testing technology in the recycling of power batteries.

　　(Reporter Li Yulan Du Bing)

　　Focus on domestic innovative drugs

　　"I am like sitting on a false boat, jumping into the sea will die, and I can only let it go. It’s all about confidence. " Professor Huang Wenlin, Chairman of Cancer Center of Sun Yat-sen University and Guangzhou Dabo Biological Products Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Dabo Bio"), jokingly described the feeling of insisting on new drug research and development.

　　Fifteen years ago, Huang Wenlin began to develop a new anti-tumor gene therapy drug — — Recombinant human dermatan adenovirus injection. Although this "innovative new drug from the source" has won the gold medal of China invention patent, the phase III clinical trial is nearly completed. But over the years, he has often been troubled by the shortage of funds and made slow progress.

　　Due to the lack of long-term investment mechanism, especially the imperfection of the capital market, the research and development of new drugs in China is difficult, and the industrialization of new drugs is "difficult to produce".

　　I especially hope that the government can light a "fire"

　　"Now, it has invested nearly 80 million yuan. Except for the support of major new drugs and major national science and technology projects, most of them rely on their own ‘ Huayuan ’ 。” In order to support research and development, Huang Wenlin founded Dabo Bio.

　　At the same time, in December 2017, Luxturna, a "direct drug delivery" gene therapy of an American company, was approved for listing. The drug research and development started two years later than Huang Wenlin.

　　Why did the United States start late and go on the market earlier than China for the same type of new drugs?

　　"In the United States, there is a complete R&D investment mechanism to support the research and development of new drugs. In the basic research stage of the laboratory, some enterprises and research institutes provide various funds to support innovative research. Once a product is developed, investors keep coming in. After listing, it has the advantages of product patents and product protection period, and pharmaceutical giants take over. " Huang Wenlin sighed, "But in China, all this is still far away."

　　"I especially hope that in the last mile when new drugs are about to emerge, the government can order them ‘ Fire ’ Guide venture capital funds to enter, so as to burn. " Huang Wenlin sighed.

　　Self-financing can’t afford huge R&D expenses.

　　Long research and development cycle, high investment and high failure rate are the three major pain points of new drug research and development, especially clinical trials.

　　New drug research and development is a "comprehensive project", a class 1 new drug, which needs continuous capital investment from project establishment to listing. "Among all the links, clinical trials are the ones with the longest duration, the largest capital investment and the highest risk." An internal person in charge of a domestic enterprise engaged in new drug research and development said that with the increasingly complicated design of clinical trial projects, the cost of clinical research has also risen.

　　"For innovative drugs, especially Class 1 innovative drugs, to complete all development, only global pharmaceutical giants can do it at present. After completing the early research and development and reaching the stage node, the average company is subject to the huge financial pressure of later research and development, and most of them will wait for the price, transfer the project to a large pharmaceutical company, or cooperate with it for development. " The above-mentioned personnel said that most small and medium-sized pharmaceutical enterprises in China mainly rely on self-financing for R&D, and R&D investment accounts for 4% of total sales on average & mdash; 8%, the investment is more than 20%.

　　In December 2015, Zhongshan Kangfang Biomedical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Kangfang Bio") awarded the global exclusive right to develop and sell its monoclonal antibody drug AK-107 for tumor immunotherapy to global pharmaceutical giant Merck. The former will receive an upfront payment from Merck and a phased payment with a total price of 200 million US dollars, covering development and promotion. In 2017, Kangfang Bio announced the completion of 300 million yuan Series B financing.

　　However, most new drug research and development in China are not as lucky as Kangfang Bio. Talking about the reasons for the cooperation between Kangfang Bio and Merck, Xia Yu, chairman and CEO of Kangfang Bio, said frankly, "The huge investment in new drug research and development is on the one hand, and another important reason is that the field of tumor immunotherapy is a field where top international pharmaceutical giants compete fiercely, and the speed determines success or failure to a great extent." She revealed that at present, not only clinical trials are advancing rapidly, but also research and development is progressing smoothly.

　　"The cooperation model between Kangfang Bio and Merck is a common cooperation model among pharmaceutical companies in the world." She said that the fundamental solution to the difficulties in the research and development of new drugs in China requires the progress and maturity of the pharmaceutical industry in China at all levels, including the improvement of the R&D strength of enterprises, the improvement of the regulatory system, and the real understanding and long-term support of the capital market for the long-term and high-risk research and development of new drugs.

　　Investors are unprofessional and cannot wait for a long period.

　　Once some competitive drugs go to the market, they can easily achieve sales revenue of over 10 billion dollars. Aren’t the big domestic pharmaceutical companies and investors excited about it?

　　"Domestic intellectual property protection is not perfect, enterprises are reluctant to invest huge sums of money, and investors feel that the risk is too great." Huang Wenlin said, "There was once a large domestic pharmaceutical company with 8 billion yuan in its hands. He asked me how to use this money. It’s not that they don’t understand, but they don’t dare. "

　　"From an investment perspective, domestic investors are immature and rarely really focus on investing in new drug research and development." Wang Yuefei, the founding partner of Jianjin Capital, said that a qualified investor should be familiar with the whole chain of drug research and development. "The lack of understanding of the new drug research and development industry, especially the industrialization link, coupled with the lack of mature funds, has led domestic investors to tolerate long-term investment in new drugs."

　　The internal person in charge of the enterprise engaged in new drug research and development mentioned above also said that investment institutions should truly understand the characteristics of the pharmaceutical industry. "If we simply apply the thinking of investing in the Internet, it may be a lose-lose situation."

　　Wang Yuefei has come into contact with many entrepreneurs in the pharmaceutical industry, including scientists. "Most entrepreneurs in the pharmaceutical industry in China have a technical background. The biggest problem is that they are not open-minded enough to control everything." He emphasized that "the success of foreign new drug research and development is better than that of China, because everyone in the R&D chain knows their role and can achieve division of labor and cooperation."

A strategic report commissioned by the European Union pointed out that EU countries have purchased too many weapons and equipment from overseas in recent years, and about two-thirds of the military purchase expenses have fallen into the pockets of American arms dealers, which is not conducive to Europe’s defense independence. There are many advanced military equipment such as Gust fighters and Leopard 2 main battle tanks in the European Union, but why do member States continue to hand over large amounts of military purchases to American companies? Where is the road to strengthening military industry in Europe?

Where does the EU spend on military procurement?

Entrusted by the European Union, the strategic report on Europe’s future competitiveness written by former Italian Prime Minister and former European Central Bank President Mario Draghi was released recently. According to the report, from mid-2022 to mid-2023, 78% of the total EU defense equipment procurement expenditure went to non-EU suppliers, of which 63% went to the United States.

The report believes that "Europe is wasting common resources". In 2022, European collaborative procurement accounted for less than one-fifth of defense equipment procurement expenditure. The member states of the European Union did not unite in the defense industry to help European military enterprises integrate and reach scale.

According to media reports, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Romania, Belgium, Denmark, the Czech Republic and other EU member states are all planning to buy the F-35 stealth fighter of Lockheed Martin of the United States, and Poland also spent about $10 billion to purchase the American Apache helicopter gunship.

On the other side of the Atlantic, the American military industry is booming. The Wall Street Journal quoted the State Council as saying that from September 2022 to September 2023, the United States received more than $80 billion in arms orders, including about $50 billion from Europe, five times the historical normal level.

The well-known American financial consulting website "Colorful Fool Website" advises investors to give priority to investing in military stocks this year, because in the long run, the returns of such stocks are "rich and stable". Among the six investment targets recommended by the company, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics and Raytheon Technology, the five largest American arms dealers in the world, occupy the top five.

Why buy American-made arms?

Analysts believe that there are multiple reasons why American military equipment is more favored by EU member states than weapons and equipment made in Europe.

First of all, under the impetus of the United States, NATO member States promised to increase their defense expenditure to 2% of GDP within 10 years in 2014. The escalation of the Ukrainian crisis has further stimulated European countries to increase their defense spending. Many countries in Europe have increased their defense budgets, but the demand for military purchases is far from self-sufficient. In the past two years, the limited production capacity and difficult delivery of weapons in the EU have become the focus of public opinion. Some weapons are not produced by EU countries themselves and can only be purchased from the United States.

Secondly, the progress of European defense integration is slow, and its internal weapon system is not unified. In recent years, the US-led NATO has vigorously promoted the interoperability of weapons and equipment. From the perspective of coordinated operations, EU member States also tend to purchase "made in the United States" weapons. As the report says, there are 12 different types of combat tanks in Europe, while the United States only produces one.

Third, the technical level, combat capability and reliability of American weapons are higher than those of European weapons. The United States has conducted many foreign military operations and wars, including large-scale military assistance to Ukraine, so that American weapons such as the Patriot missile system and the Haima rocket system can get more performance opportunities and technical feedback for upgrading and improvement in actual combat. The F-35 stealth fighter, which is the most purchased by European countries, is the fifth generation fighter, and its performance is better than that of European competitors such as Typhoon and Gust.

Fourth, the United States has invested heavily in military research and development and has a price advantage. The United States has a huge defense budget and can invest huge sums of money in weapons research and development, while European countries are competitive in the field of military industry, and one country has insufficient funds and technical reserves for independent weapons research and development. The large-scale production and sales of American weapons have lowered the cost. The F-35 stealth fighters with orders of 3,500 are sold at a lower price than the "Typhoon" and "Gust" with a total output of less than 900.

In addition, the purchase of American weapons is regarded as a way to strengthen political and military relations with the United States, and some European countries hope to ensure the continued military and security support of the United States by purchasing weapons.

In short, the European defense industry is "too fragmented", lacking large-scale production capacity, and relying on the United States militarily, which has formed a vicious circle over time.

Where is the way to strengthen military industry in Europe?

Draghi’s report pointed out that in order to achieve true strategic independence and enhance its global geopolitical influence, Europe needs to develop strong and independent defense industry capabilities.

The report suggests that the EU should increase defense expenditure and related R&D investment to restore the capabilities lost due to decades of insufficient investment and replenish the depleted equipment inventory. At present, the EU’s total defense expenditure is about one-third of that of the United States, and only 10 EU member States have reached the NATO target that defense expenditure accounts for more than 2% of GDP. In the defense expenditure, the United States spent about 16% on research and development in 2023, and the proportion in Europe in 2022 was only 4.5%.

The report pointed out that the European defense industry is still facing fragmentation challenges. If EU countries "go their own way", the limited European market may form internal competition, and there will be problems such as lack of standardization and interoperability due to different weapon systems.

Jian Junbo, deputy director of the China-Europe Relations Research Center of Fudan University, said that the EU is promoting unified standards and joint research and development of weapons systems, which will help strengthen the European military industry in the long run and keep more military purchases in the EU internal market.

According to the website of European Security and Defense magazine, European countries have taken a series of cooperative defense measures to enhance their collective action ability and strategic autonomy. European defense cooperation plans such as European defense fund, permanent structural cooperation and European defense industry strategy bring new opportunities for European defense enterprises.

[Rider Toutiao – Rider Number – Car News]　　[408 1.6T version runs 70,000 to 80,000 kilometers to burn oil? Can I still buy this?]

Some riders mentioned listening to friends of friends who specialize in law: Dongfeng Peugeot 408 1.6T runs 7-80,000 kilometers to burn oil, and many thousand kilometers burn close to a liter of oil.

It seems that this news also affected the rider’s purchase confidence, query the official website that 408 360THP tenth anniversary version of the official guide price of 137,900 yuan, according to the description of the rider straight down 30,000, open fares fell to 109,700 yuan, purchase tax about 9708 yuan, plus insurance and miscellaneous fees, 130,000 will definitely be able to land, and the basic decoration is almost complete, this price can be said to be a little cost-effective.

About the engine driving 7-80,000 km oil consumption is large, talk about it with your own experience. If what the friend of this friend said is true, then this problem may not need to be worried, because driving to this mileage before the oil consumption is large, most likely because of improper maintenance.

Hearing this conclusion, some 408 owners may say: I have been maintaining at the 4S shop, which will be explained later.

Besides, it consumes 1L of oil for every 1000 kilometers. If this oil consumption is according to the previous Volkswagen, it is a lot of oil burning! Hahaha…

No kidding, the consumption of 1L oil for 1000 kilometers should not be caused by damage to the valve oil seal, otherwise the oil consumption will be greater. This kind of oil consumption is often related to two aspects:

1. Crankcase forced ventilation system – Regarding crankcase forced ventilation, some models are not designed well, and new cars may have problems such as large oil consumption or increased oil. According to the reality mentioned by the rider, it cannot be said that there are no problems in this link, but the probability is not high;

2. Piston ring stuck – Regarding piston ring stuck, it is actually very simple. Basically, the piston ring is stuck due to carbon deposition. After the piston ring is stuck, the oil scraping effect will decrease, and more lubricating oil may participate in combustion, resulting in excessive oil consumption.

The reasons for carbon deposition are related to improper maintenance, such as poor oil quality, such as long maintenance cycle and other reasons. This also answers the questions of some car owners who "keep going to the 4S store and say that I have improper maintenance".

Remember that when the car was repaired, the French car had a maintenance cycle of 15,000 kilometers earlier, and Total’s lubricating oil should have been used at that time.

Here are two more points: according to the old three of the 5-year cycle at that time, a vehicle maintained once every 5000 kilometers must be in better condition than a car maintained once every 15,000 kilometers by the French system, especially the sound of the engine running better. In addition, the author did not look at Total oil at that time, and preferred to use other brands of oil. For example, the author’s old Fukang, who drove more than 230,000 kilometers when he was shot, because the express report was scrapped, so he maintained it every 10,000 kilometers. The oil consumption is basically from the upper limit to the lower limit, and the Fukang valve cover also leaks oil, and the leakage is not slight. Here it is also recommended that French owners who feel that the oil consumption is large see if the engine leaks oil.

Comprehensive comments:

If it is because after driving 7-80,000 kilometers, every 1000 kilometers consumes 1L of oil, the rider does not have to worry. After the vehicle starts, it can be maintained by itself, choose higher quality oil, and perform a shorter maintenance cycle.

If you are worried that self-maintenance will result in the loss of the powertrain warranty, then check the 4S shop to see if there is a better oil option. If not, put it in 5000 kilometers/half a year for maintenance, which may avoid the problem of high oil consumption in the future.
