New progress in P2P platform supervision: the gradual differentiation of online loan filing platform has intensified.

  The filing of P2P peer-to-peer lending platform, which has attracted much attention in the industry, has now ushered in new progress. It is reported that the regulatory authorities are soliciting opinions on the online loan filing rules. According to the current plan, some provinces and cities will be the pilot areas for filing. On the basis of summing up the pilot experience, according to the overall time limit of three years to prevent major risks, the filing and registration of stock online lending institutions will be completed nationwide in 2020.

  In the eyes of many people in the industry, the introduction of online loan filing rules will be another major measure after compliance inspection and Opinions on Doing a Good Job in Classified Disposal and Risk Prevention of Online Loan Institutions, which is not only conducive to the follow-up filing work of the compliance platform, but also conducive to protecting the rights and interests of lenders and promoting the orderly clearing of industry risks.

  Continuous adjustment of the industry

  "The proposal of the online loan filing rules will promote the online loan industry to take a substantial step, which also means that the filing will be restarted in the near future. The acceleration of industry clearing and the filing of the compliance platform will obviously boost market confidence. " Zhang Yexia, dean of the Online Loan Home Research Institute, said.

  Since the Notice on Implementing the Interim Measures for the Management of Business Activities of Information Intermediaries in peer-to-peer lending in August 2016, it was first mentioned that the online loan industry implemented the filing and registration system, and the filing of the industry has been in an irregular state. Correspondingly, the prosperity of the online lending industry continues to decline, and problem events occur from time to time. According to the incomplete statistics of online loan houses, as of the end of March this year, the cumulative number of closed and problematic platforms reached 5,595; Recently, individual head platforms also broke out risk events, which once again brought considerable impact to the industry.

  It is worth noting that according to the current plan, online lending institutions are required to pay "one book and two gold", of which "one book" refers to the paid-in registered capital; "Two funds" are the general risk reserve and the lender’s risk compensation. "This indicates to some extent the source of redemption funds after the outbreak of risk events by online lending institutions." Experts said that among them, the general risk reserve is used to pay in advance the losses caused by the online lending institution’s own reasons (such as publishing false information, failing to disclose information as required, and self-financing of online lending institutions). Lender’s risk compensation is used to make up the lender’s principal loss when the borrower has credit risk and cannot repay the lender’s funds as agreed.

  "For most small and medium-sized platforms, this is a cruel knockout." Ai Yawen, an analyst at Rong 360 Big Data Research Institute, said that only this "one book and two gold" has blocked many small and medium-sized platforms with weak financial strength. In her view, in the face of the "cold winter" of the industry, financing channels and funds are shrinking, and it is also very difficult for the platform to introduce shareholder financing. In the first three months of this year, only one or two online lending institutions obtained venture capital funds.

  Small platforms are not optimistic.

  It is noteworthy that at present, the proposed plan proposes that online lending institutions can be divided into single provincial-level regional operation and national operation according to their business scope. In the future, a large number will be single provincial-level regional operation institutions, and regional operation institutions can only carry out fund matching services in this region. "This will undoubtedly significantly narrow the scope of risks, and the lending limit will further reduce lending losses." Wang chunying, a researcher at the online loan home research institute, said.

  In the eyes of many people in the industry, the online loan filing rules will further aggravate the industry differentiation. For the national online lending institutions, it is not limited by the geographical location of lenders and borrowers, and its potential business scope is very wide; On the contrary, online lending institutions operating in a single provincial region can only match local funds to serve local borrowers, and the business volume and scope are greatly narrowed. The development prospect of national pilot institutions is much higher than that of regional institutions.

  At the same time, Zhang Yexia said that the lenders and borrowers of new matchmaking business in the place where a single provincial-level regional operating institution operates must remain in the same provincial-level region as the place where the online lending institution is registered, which may trigger a wave of platform migration, only in the regional operation. The platform will reconsider the filing place.

  In addition, for platforms that cannot complete filing, they can also guide institutions to transform into online small loans, consumer finance companies, or other licensed financial institutions. However, in Ai Yawen’s view, in addition to continuing to file for rectification, if the platform does not have absolute resource advantages, the transformation is of little significance. Small-scale online lending platforms with insufficient background strength are generally weak in operational capacity, poor in comprehensive anti-risk ability and not optimistic in profitability.

  According to the key monitoring data of Rong 360 Data Research Institute, as of the end of March this year, there were 1,047 online lending platforms operating normally in China, with at least 300 registered funds less than 50 million yuan, and 245 outstanding ones less than 100 million yuan. Some of them have suspended bidding and even become "zombie platforms" (no new bidding will be issued for three months).

  Strengthen investor protection

  In order to better protect investors, according to the current plan, the number of creditor’s rights transfers between lenders of the same online lending platform shall not exceed three times, and creditors of different online lending platforms shall not transfer creditor’s rights; Online lending institutions shall not carry out automatic bidding and other entrusted bidding business; The lending balance of natural person lenders in the same online lending institution shall not exceed 200,000 yuan, and the total lending balance in different online lending institutions shall not exceed 500,000 yuan.

  "This is to control the risk of online lending within a certain range and reduce the harm of risk events to lenders." Zhang Yexia said, but some detailed requirements need to be further explained. Take the lender’s identity authentication method as an example. For the online lending institutions operating in a single provincial region, the lenders and borrowers who have newly added matching business must remain at the same provincial level as the online lending institutions’ registration places, and the ways to confirm the lender’s identity need to be further clarified, such as referring to the ID number, the place where the mobile phone number belongs, and the login IP.

  At the same time, in terms of the lender’s asset certification method, Zhang Yexia said that the asset certification needs to specify whether the lender needs to upload relevant certification materials and the form of certification materials, such as bank flow, income certificate, social security/provident fund payment record, and equity asset account balance. If uploading is needed, how to identify the authenticity of the certification materials by the platform is also a major problem for testing online lending institutions. At the same time, the issuance and uploading of certification materials may also cause poor lending experience of online lending platforms.

  In addition, Sack Research Institute believes that under normal circumstances, the less investment, the weaker the risk tolerance of users. Online lending has high risks, so we should set a threshold for qualified investors and raise the initial investment limit.

Indiscriminate sanctions: harmful, sinister and poisonous measures against globalization.

  【 honk 】

  Since the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the United States and the West have launched several rounds of indiscriminate sanctions involving politics, finance, trade, science and technology, culture and other fields, which are all-round, high-intensity and complicated in frequency, which is unprecedented. In the meantime, while handing knives, the United States earned tickets, at the expense of the interests of many countries in the world and endangering the people’s livelihood in many countries, while American interest groups took advantage of the fishermen.

  Regardless of Ukraine’s life and death, the United States continued to fuel the fire, fearing that the conflict would stop, and adopted a combination of one stone and many birds: it imposed indiscriminate sanctions on Russia with no bottom line, no ethics, no restraint and no contractual spirit, allowing American oil and gas to occupy the European market instead of Russian oil and gas, allowing Europe to take in Ukrainian refugees, thus further kidnapping Europe, so that NATO, the "abandoned child" after the end of the Cold War, finally had a chance to brush its sense of existence. In turn, it has become the "white glove" for the long arm of the United States to govern Europe and contain Russia, and to cooperate with the US dollar to raise interest rates to rush international capital to the United States, so as to alleviate the continuous rise of US inflation and national debt, and at the same time make the US military-industrial complex earn a lot of money. All these "combination punches" show that the United States is the black hand behind the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, with only one purpose, that is, to maintain the world hegemony of the United States and continue its life for hegemonism and imperialism. The indiscriminate sanctions imposed by the United States for profit have disrupted the global energy, food and financial order, which is an extreme manifestation of anti-globalization. Only the United States has benefited, but the countries and people in the world have suffered.

  It can be asserted that the indiscriminate sanctions initiated by the United States and the West against Russia are a damaging, insidious and poisonous move against globalization. Its damage is harming the interests of all parties outside the United States; Its yin is to use the dominance of globalization to destroy globalization, reverse globalization and maintain hegemony; Its poison is in an attempt to continue the conflict between Russia and Ukraine through NATO’s five eastward expansions, pushing Russia into a desperate situation.

  The improper use of the leading power of globalization leads to anti-globalization.

  Globalization is an irreversible trend in today’s world. Globalization goes hand in hand with industrialization and urbanization, promoting the global layout of supply chain, industrial chain, value chain and innovation chain, promoting the formation of world city networks such as global cities, national cities and general towns, promoting the prosperity of a new world economic system composed of advanced manufacturing industries and high-end service industries with informationization, networking and intelligence, and bringing globalization dividends to countries and people all over the world; Looking ahead, the trend of globalization is still irresistible.

  It is a just, correct and just way to conform to the trend of globalization and create and share the global dividend. This practice upholds the concept of a community of human destiny, strives to build a new global governance system, promotes the benign development of globalization, and enables all countries and people in the world to create and share the dividend of globalization.

  Regrettably, countries that are in the leading position of globalization in today’s world have always cherished their own priority concepts. The United States does not proceed from the perspective that all countries and people in the world create and share the global dividend, but from the perspective of maximizing its own interests, and does not hesitate to use means to hinder globalization. The most commonly used is sanctions, and the most extreme is indiscriminate sanctions. In a way that harms globalization, it hinders the maximization of the creation of global dividends, while taking all the global dividends created by all countries in the world, and ultimately damages the sharing of global dividends by all countries in the world.

  The predatory "vampire" approach will hinder globalization

  The essence of globalization is the globalization of social division of labor, that is, the social division of labor crosses national boundaries, and arranges the supply end, industry end, value end and innovation end in different countries, and then connects these "ends" to form a "chain", thus forming a global supply chain, industrial chain, value chain and innovation chain. The premise of the smooth operation of the "chain" is to build channels connecting all parts of the world (such as goods, money, information, technology, people and other mobile channels), realize interconnection, and then form a "network"

  The carriers of globalization are primary products and commodities, money and finance, information, science and technology, and personnel, aiming at realizing all-round and unimpeded communication, exchange and optimal allocation among countries, and creating a global dividend far higher than the sum of domestic dividends of all countries in the world. The order of globalization makes the above-mentioned channels run safely and unimpeded. To this end, the international community has jointly established world organizations such as the World Trade Organization, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank and their operating mechanisms, which constitute a global governance system. All this is for the purpose that all countries in the world participating in globalization jointly create and share the global dividend.

  In the natural historical process of globalization, there are many key links, such as terminals, chains, channels, carriers and systems. These key links can not only ensure but also prevent the continuous operation, smooth flow, interlocking and orderly globalization, forming a series of "gates" and "valves" that can be opened or closed. But when to turn it on and off, and how big the switch is, often depends on who is in charge of the dominant power of globalization, and may even be used as an "anti-globalization weapon" by it, for example, US dollars, oil and gas, agricultural products, settlement channels (such as SWIFT) and so on.

  The United States adheres to its own priority dictatorship, monopolization and exclusive enjoyment, and implements long-arm jurisdiction and indiscriminate sanctions all over the world without a bottom line, ethics and restraint, which can only curb the creation of globalization dividends. This is a "vampire-like" anti-globalization and anti-globalization practice that takes advantage of plunder and violates justice, and is the essential manifestation of hegemonism and imperialism.

  After the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the United States and the West imposed a series of "unconventional" and "epic-level" sanctions on Russia, the scope and intensity of which were far greater than before, which not only brought various livelihood problems to Russia but also to many countries unrelated to the conflict and their people, blocked the natural and historical process of globalization, destroyed the normal globalization order, and made the globalization dividend drop sharply.

  A few days ago, China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin revealed that some American media called the United States the only "sanctions superpower" in the world, which hit the nail on the head. He Yafei, former vice minister of foreign affairs, pointed out: "After the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the United States and western countries imposed unprecedented severe sanctions on Russia in breadth and depth, and Russia also took countermeasures. The sanctions and anti-sanctions between the United States, the West and Russia are double-edged swords in the game of big powers, and their impact on US-Russia relations, international structure, world economy and finance, and global governance system is incalculable. "

  Indiscriminate sanctions imposed by the United States are harmful, insidious and poisonous moves against globalization. Their root cause is hegemonism and their essence is imperialism. Opposing hegemonism is a necessary measure to safeguard the peaceful development of today’s world, deter or even put an end to the countercurrent of globalization, and promote the benign development of globalization.

Building a solid development floor, Yangzhou pushing hard nuclear policy measures, and comprehensively strengthening grassroots infrastructure construction

  The new Newcastle disease vaccine with gene VII is the first Newcastle disease vaccine with independent intellectual property rights in China, and it is also the first vaccine to effectively prevent and control Newcastle disease in geese, which can simultaneously prevent Newcastle disease in chickens and geese. At the beginning of this year, this achievement won the second prize of the National Technology Invention Award at the 2019 National Science and Technology Awards Conference.

  Leading this work is Liu Xiufan, an academician of China Academy of Engineering and a professor at Yangzhou University. He believes that human health, animal health and ecological environment health are a whole, and we need to practice the concept of "one health".

  Half a century of scientific research, "fighting" with animal diseases

  Liu Xiufan, who is 79 years old this year, still shows amazing scientific research creativity. He graduated from Subei Agricultural College in 1965, majoring in veterinary medicine, and has been "fighting" with animal diseases for more than half a century.

  One winter day in 1965, three cows "Baobei" of a production team in gaoyou county, Jiangsu Province suffered from organophosphorus pesticide poisoning, which made them seriously ill. After the diagnosis, Liu Xiufan, who just graduated and stayed in school, quickly removed the pesticides from the cattle and gave an antidote. A few days later, the poisoned cow recovered. "This is my first home visit after graduation. Simple farmers will not express their gratitude with too many words, but just hold my hand tightly and refuse to let go." Liu Xiufan said.

  In 1980, Liu Xiufan was selected by the Ministry of Education to go to the United States for further study, and successively studied veterinary biotechnology at Michigan State University and the Poultry Research Institute of the US Department of Agriculture. "When I first arrived in the United States, the director of the International Exchange Center, who helped me with the formalities, saw my resume and said that you studied veterinary medicine, so he called me Doctor and called other visiting scholars Mister." It was only this little bit unusual that made Liu Xiufan feel very happy at that time: "In foreign countries, veterinary medicine is a very respected profession, and it is great to study veterinary medicine."

  In addition to taking courses related to veterinary medicine, Liu Xiufan also specializes in the study of monoclonal antibodies against Marek’s disease in chickens. "In the end, I successfully developed a monoclonal antibody against Marek’s disease in chickens, which became the standard reagent for international serotyping." Liu Xiufan said that in less than three years after returning to China, he took the lead in applying monoclonal antibody technology to the research and control of animal diseases. "More than 100 kinds of monoclonal antibodies with different epitopes of seven pathogens such as Marek’s disease virus, Newcastle disease virus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella and avian influenza virus have been developed. The study of monoclonal antibodies not only fills the gap in China, but also reaches the advanced level of similar research in the world. "

  "Newcastle disease, commonly known as chicken plague, is one of the two most serious infectious diseases that endanger the global poultry industry, just like highly pathogenic avian influenza." Liu Xiufan said that the incidence and mortality of Newcastle disease is as high as 100%, and it has been listed as a legally reported animal disease by the World Organization for Animal Health.

  Liu Xiufan said that vaccine immunization is an important method to prevent and control Newcastle disease. The infection rate of Newcastle disease virus in chickens in China is high, and all chickens are vaccinated at high frequency. The most widely used is the gene II LaSota vaccine introduced from abroad. "However, since the 1990s, the epidemic characteristics of Newcastle disease in China have changed greatly, and atypical Newcastle disease is still common in chickens vaccinated with LaSota vaccine at high frequency."

  Grinding a sword in eighteen years to create the first Newcastle disease vaccine in China

  In the late 1990s, Liu Xiufan’s team launched an epidemiological survey to conduct molecular epidemiological research on Newcastle disease virus in China.

  "By analyzing the genotypes of more than 1,500 Newcastle disease virus isolates, we first discovered the genome length characteristics of Newcastle disease virus type VII, which proved that more than 95% of the virulent Newcastle disease viruses prevalent in chickens and geese are genotype VII, which has no host specificity and can be cross-infected." Liu Xiufan said.

  Why does gene ⅶ Newcastle disease virus cause a serious epidemic? Liu Xiufan’s team further revealed the pathogenic mechanism of gene VII Newcastle disease virus. "Gene VII Newcastle disease virus will cause serious damage to the immune organs of chickens and geese, leading to their immunosuppression. The commonly used LaSota vaccine does not match the genotype and antigenicity of gene VII Newcastle disease virus, and its ability to clear the virus is weak, resulting in the frequent occurrence of atypical Newcastle disease in chickens and the outbreak of goose Newcastle disease. " After finding out the culprit, developing a new vaccine as soon as possible has become a top priority for Liu Xiufan.

  Since 2001, from more than 200 epidemic strains of Newcastle disease virus type VII, the team has screened and obtained a strain with high reproductive titer, strong immunogenicity and good cross-protection in chicken embryos as a donor, constructed an infectious clone containing the full-length genome of the strain, and pioneered the reverse genetic technology platform for directly weakening the virulent Newcastle disease virus type VII in the world, breaking through the technical bottleneck that conventional means cannot weaken the virulent Newcastle disease virus type VII.

  In 2006, Liu Xiufan’s team successfully invented gene VII Newcastle disease vaccine strain A-NDV-VII, which is the first gene VII vaccine strain in the world and the first Newcastle disease vaccine strain with independent intellectual property rights in China. Compared with the performance parameters of the international common vaccine strain LaSota, the vaccine strain has weaker virulence and better immunogenicity, the titer of antibody produced after immunization is more than 4 times, and the virus removal ability is more than 10 times. It can be used not only for chickens but also for geese. "When the vaccine strain is created, we have the’ seed’ to develop the vaccine." Liu Xiufan said with a smile.

  Using the invented attenuated strain A-NDV-VII as seed virus, the team developed the first registered inactivated vaccine of Newcastle disease virus type VII in the world, which solved the major problem of Newcastle disease prevention and control in chickens and geese in China. In 2014, the vaccine obtained the national first-class new veterinary drug certificate. Since its introduction, the vaccine has produced and sold a total of 7.51 billion feathers, which has been popularized and applied in 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across the country, increasing the efficiency of aquaculture enterprises by more than 5 billion yuan and achieving remarkable economic, social and ecological benefits. "We should treat the health of the ecological environment as a whole." Liu Xiufan said.

  Human beings have gained experience in the struggle against previous plagues.

  The history of mankind is also a history of fighting the plague. Liu Xiufan said that in history, smallpox, plague, flu and other plagues have claimed hundreds of millions of lives and caused painful disasters to mankind. In the struggle against previous plagues, mankind has gained valuable experience and defeated the epidemic. In recent years, the emerging Nipah virus, SARS virus, MERS virus and highly pathogenic avian influenza virus have attracted great attention and attention. "We may face new viruses in the future."

  "When dealing with a new virus, we must first take quick emergency measures to control and eliminate the source of infection, cut off the route of virus transmission, protect susceptible groups, and prevent the spread of the virus from expanding." Liu Xiufan said that at the same time, it is necessary to systematically carry out epidemiological research, pathogenic mechanism and immune mechanism research, and carry out joint research to develop new diagnostic methods and effective prevention and control products.

  Liu Xiufan said that the H7N9 subtype avian influenza virus that appeared after 2013 infected people. The virus was the product of multiple subtype avian influenza viruses, and its internal genes were all derived from H9N2 subtype avian influenza virus. "Although the probability of infection with avian influenza virus in the exposed population is very low, we must strengthen the monitoring of avian influenza virus to prevent the virus from mutating and spreading from person to person, triggering a new influenza epidemic. Therefore, the control of avian influenza is not only economically important, but also plays an important role in public health. "

All the system chips are self-developed. What road will Huami take?

Original attention to cutting-edge technology qubits is included in the topic # Huami 1# Chip 4# The technology circle is paying attention to 70.

Yang Jing is from Hefei

Quantum bit report | WeChat official account QbitAI

If it weren’t for being in Hefei, I would have thought it was a release conference of a song by a certain Vida.

At the beginning, the CEO came straight up with a huge wafer.

This big disc is engraved with 4000 chips made by ourselves.

In the next hour, it was even more confusing. Four shots were fired in succession, and the technique was very vertical.

There are chips, operating systems, AI algorithms, and MRI nuclear magnetic resonance equipment.

If I want to say again, this is a press conference of watch factory, I don’t believe it myself.

The conference of "Watch Factory"?

As you may have guessed, it is Huami, a watch factory headquartered in Hefei.

It made its debut in mi band, and then became the fastest-growing wearable manufacturer representative in NYSE with its endless product strength.

Chip has become the traditional artistic ability of Huami. In 2018, Huami bet on RISC-V architecture and launched the first AI chip in the field of smart wearable in the world-Huangshan No.1, which was mass-produced in the following year. Last year, at Huami’s first non-product conference, Huangshan No.2 chip was unveiled.

As the first launch of this conference, Huangshan 2S chip is called 2S, but it is not a simple improvement of the second generation.

It adopts dual-core RISC-V architecture. Among them, the large-core system can perform high-load calculations such as graphics and UI operations, and also integrates FPU to support floating-point operations. The small core, on the other hand, has low power consumption, and can process sensor data for 24 hours to realize continuous monitoring of biological data all day.

Large core and small core, clear division of labor, achieving a balance between computing power and power consumption.

Compared with the previous generation chip, the computing efficiency of Huangshan 2S is improved by 18%, the running power consumption is reduced by 56%, and the sleep power consumption is reduced by 93%.

Three years, three chips, realize the transition from usable to easy to use. The core-making project of Huami has entered the fast lane.

In addition to the chip, there is Zeppos, the native smart watch operating system that debuted.

As another field that is difficult to overcome in the intelligent hardware industry, the reason why Huami has to do it is also because of user demand and market drive.

There are two mainstream operating systems on the market at present. Either it is based on the mobile phone system magic change, but it is too cumbersome and complicated for wearable devices.

Either it is a ready-made embedded real-time operating system, which is more suitable for industrial control equipment and ordinary IoT products. It is directly used in smart watches that pay attention to experience, and some of them are not acclimatized.

Therefore, if Huami wants to do OS, there are two requirements first: lightness and user experience.

In terms of memory, the bottom layer of Zepp OS system is based on FreeRTOS micro-kernel open source code, which takes up very little space, and the system package is only 55MB, which is about 1/28 of Apple watch OS.

In terms of battery life, the running power consumption of Zepp OS is 65% lower than that of the previous Amazfit OS, thus ensuring continuous health data monitoring for 7×24 hours.

For developers, Zepp OS is also equipped with a watch applet framework-Zeus mini-program framework, which is convenient for developers to develop applets with a lower threshold.

In addition, the system also integrates 150 dials, including 15 dynamic dials. According to reports, the graphical development environment will be opened in the future, and individual users can also participate in the dial design.

In addition to the appearance of software and hardware, there is a brand-new AI algorithm-Pump Beats blood pressure monitoring engine. As a function with the highest voice in the whole conference, it can directly solve the current needs.

The smart watch equipped with this engine can measure blood pressure with one button in 30s. At present, Huami has started clinical experiments with the First Hospital of Peking University, and it is expected to be available in the fourth quarter.

According to the Report on Cardiovascular Health and Disease in China in 2020, there are as many as 245 million patients with hypertension in China, of which the adult prevalence rate is 23.2%. In recent years, the number of deaths related to hypertension is as high as 2 million every year.

After more than five years of research by Huami team, this engine has taken an important step in the field of non-invasive and sleeveless blood pressure measurement technology.

At the end of the conference, it also showed the latest medical field exploration promoted by Huami through investment-portable MRI (nuclear magnetic resonance) equipment, which corresponds to medical pain points.

Traditional medical MRI is a huge thing with high cost and high environmental requirements, and it is often hard to find a machine, so patients need to make an appointment a long time in advance.

Portable MRI not only occupies a small area, but also does not need a special shielding room. Compared with traditional high-magnetic MRI, portable MRI can achieve high-quality imaging at low field strength even when the signal-to-noise ratio is 300 times different.

Regardless of Huangshan 2S chip, Zepp OS, PumpBeats blood pressure monitoring engine and portable MRI (nuclear magnetic resonance) equipment, Huami’s various release actions have shown that the core of the enterprise adheres to: global self-research.

How did Huami embark on this road?

As early as 2015, Huami layout chips began to have a fixed number, but now with the maturity of technology, this road has gradually become clear.

Simple eight-word summary: global self-research and pursuit of the ultimate.

Chip is the extreme of hardware, operating system is the extreme of software, and the pursuit of AI system is the extreme of algorithm.

With the appearance of the operating system, Huami has opened up a global self-research from chips, algorithms to operating systems.

In fact, this path of self-research from chips, OS and algorithms is not unfamiliar. For example, Apple and Huawei.

Apple built S5 and S6 chips and Watch OS for Apple Watch.

Huawei has Kirin A1 chip and the newly launched HarmonyOS system.

The advantages of doing so are obvious. Combine software and hardware, and use your own chip to adapt to your own software ecology.

Manufacturers have great autonomy, no invisible constraints, and can customize product functions to form their own product strength.

In recent years, Huami has applied for more than 1,000 patents, of which invention patents account for half.

The ultimate in technology means the growth of R&D investment in Huami.

In the last three years, Huami’s average R&D investment has reached 410 million yuan every year. In 2020, R&D investment will reach 538 million yuan.

This kind of investment is equivalent to 2 times or even 3 times that of some emerging Internet companies and IoT intelligent hardware companies.

With such a big investment and pursuing the ultimate in technology, what does Huami think?

Considerations behind global self-research

First of all, the so-called knowing people and discussing the world is closely related to the development stage of the industry.

The first stage, let’s call it the mode verification period.

Back in 2013, Samsung released its first smart watch, Galaxy Gear, and officially entered the wearable field.

However, due to poor performance, it has been criticized a lot, so there is not much spray.

In the second year, Huawei, Apple and Xiaomi collectively entered the market, which really set off a wave of smart wear in China.

At the beginning of 2014, Huawei released the smart bracelet TalkBand B1 at the Mobile World Congress, which started the first shot.

In September, Apple released the Apple Watch, and then kept the frequency one more time a year.

It was also this year that Huami and Xiaomi joined hands and became an explosion through a cost-effective smart bracelet.

Huami also became famous in World War I and established its status as a river and lake.

Prior to this, the prospect of smart wearable was still in doubt. But when the explosion comes out, there is no doubt about the business prospects.

From 2015 to 2020, the market size of smart wearable devices industry in China increased from 11.48 billion yuan to 63.22 billion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate of 40.7%.

More importantly, smart wearable is widely regarded as the next growth point in the field of consumer electronics after mobile phones.

So the second stage-short and fast replication period-also came.

Now that the smart wearable Qian Jing and its prospects have been verified, and as a new growth point of consumer electronics, it is inevitable that new players will flood in and giants will copy quickly.

Smart wearable copying is actually simple and direct, and the advantages are obvious-you can take the volume quickly, you can make large-scale profits after taking the volume, and you can still make quick money.

However, shortcomings or hidden concerns are naturally obvious.

Low prices are cool for a while, but who is still alive by low prices in the field of mobile phones? The doctrine of taking is very easy to use. Isn’t the risk of getting stuck in the neck and cutting off the confession direct enough? Finally, following the trend of homogenization, you can only live in the shadow of "cottage" forever.

Therefore, for smart wearable manufacturers, or consumer electronics companies, there are opportunities to stand out from the crowd during the pattern verification period and the short and fast replication period.

But if we want to operate sustainably, make it bigger, deeper and longer-term, we must build our own moat.

For example, Amazon and JD.COM in the e-commerce industry also had their previous growth periods, but later decided that their ability to go deeper and further was self-built logistics of "humiliation and burden-bearing".

Self-built logistics undoubtedly requires a large investment, and it will also focus on the whole company and business, which runs counter to the "light assets" advocated by technology Internet companies.

However, it is self-built logistics that has become the guarantee for Amazon and JD.COM to build a long-lasting business and provide better and longer-tail services.

It has become a moat that truly enables enterprises to operate sustainably.

For the current smart wearable industry, for Huami, isn’t the global self-developed chip and system just "self-built logistics"? Isn’t it to build a moat for the long term?

In fact, if we return to the company’s goals, especially the pressure of regular financial reports faced by listed companies, it may not be an easy way to do research on the whole stack.

However, even under such pressure, Huami still chose the self-developed system and chip, and insisted on the difficult and correct road, which shows its ambition and its long-term ambition.

On the other hand, from the perspective of users and consumers, a consumer electronics company that has proved that its actions will continue to provide long-term value is a company that will be trusted.

Nowadays, Huami is naturally a vertical champion in the wearable field, but don’t ignore that the global giants like Apple are racing together on this track.

Competing with a company like Apple can only run like water. It’s not a matter of time, but a matter of time.

Only by going deep into chips and systems can we have the qualification and ability to talk endlessly.

From this perspective, the road of Huami is no longer difficult to see through.

How to evaluate the way of huami?

Look back at Hua Mi’s movements.

From a technical point of view, Huami has done more and more "deep", from chips and systems to consumer brands. Nowadays, in addition to Amazfit, there are Zepp, and there are related OEM businesses upstream.

Forming a closed-loop technology will certainly highlight the product strength of Huami more and more, enhance the brand effect and expand the benefits.

Does that mean that Huami has to take a closed road?

On the surface, it is, but it is not.

On the one hand, based on the current business needs, Huami needs to open its products to the outside world after reaching a certain level.

At the press conference, Huang Wang announced that he would open the chip and operating system to third parties through Yitong Technology.

The products pass the stage of practical verification, providing solid evidence for Huami technology, which is conducive to building brand trust in the industry and more conducive to the healthy development of the whole industry.

On the other hand, from the perspective of the industry, global self-research represents Huami’s determination to deepen the health field.

As mentioned before, with the intensification of industry competition, other competing products are caught in the whirlpool of low-price competition, system takenism, homogenization function, etc., but there is still more potential hidden behind the fog in the field of healthy wear, which has not yet been developed, which requires industry entrants to concentrate on exploring more integration points between technology and human needs.

In this matter, Huami will go her own way.

This can explain why Huami is not only self-researched, but also hopes that some IoT partners such as smart door locks, smart cars and sweeping robots will participate, and finally connect the whole ecology through opening ports. In fact, the Zepp OS operating system of Huami’s conference can support the entire RISC-V ecosystem.

To some extent, smart wearable is just a representation, and the value of Huami lies in pushing the health industry forward.

Numerous industry stories in the past have long shown that if an industry or field wants to develop healthily, it is far from enough to rely only on cross-border systems and marketing methods. What will wearable health equipment look like for you and me in the future?

Need Huami, and even more enterprises to explore the possibilities of the industry to participate.

A trillion wonders city, will it become the biggest unfinished building?

Original Bund Jun Bund TheBund

Saudi Arabia is building a

Super exaggerated linear city

Such a sci-fi picture

I’ve only seen it in movies

It is my pyramid and will go down in history forever.

What makes Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman sigh so much is an exaggerated building-perhaps it is more appropriate to call it "the city" directly.

Just last week, Saudi Arabia officially announced an architectural plan called "The Line", which exploded in the global architectural circle.

This straight "line" is located in the northwest of Saudi Arabia, starting from the Red Sea, with a length of 170 kilometers, a width of 200 meters and a height of 500 meters, covering a total area of 34 square kilometers.

To put it simply, two super-long glass skyscrapers are parallel, and an entire city is sandwiched between them.

It will also become an important part of Neom, a new city in northwest Saudi Arabia.

Such a crazy architectural idea, which we only saw in science fiction movies before, is now going to become a reality?

But don’t be too happy, even in Saudi Arabia, which is "rich to the brim", it is not easy to build such a behemoth.

In recent years, Saudi Arabia has competed with Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and wants to seize the name of "the most luxurious in the world" by countless grand and futuristic wonders.

These renderings are really beautiful, but what is the probability of completion?

01

A super-long linear city

The Line project is designed by American firm Morphosis, and the budget will reach an astonishing $1 trillion, which will be completed in 2030.

Such a huge volume, if calculated by a single building, will undoubtedly become the largest building in the world after completion.

Ben Salman said that The Line provides a brand-new concept of urban planning and design.

"The vertical hierarchical distribution of urban functions allows people to travel seamlessly in three-dimensional space, which we call’ zero gravity urbanism’."

Different from the layout of traditional cities radiating from the city center, The Line City, as its name implies, brings all functions together in this straight line.

Two super-long skyscrapers with a height of 500 meters enclose the outline of the city. By then, they will surpass our world financial center (492 meters) and become the 12th tallest building in the world.

The building extends all the way from the red sea to the mountains, 800 meters from the mountains, and then continues to extend to the desert. Because the surface of the building is covered with glass curtain wall, it is also called "Mirror Line", which is full of science fiction.

The 200-meter-wide area between the two buildings is the public area of the city.

These functional facilities are all three-dimensional-vertical farm layered farming, connecting canteens and kitchens, making urban residents’ food baskets self-sufficient; The stadium is located at a height of 305 meters, and residents run, play ball and have fun in the sky.

02

NEOM, the new future city of Saudi Arabia

Another major feature of The Line is environmental protection. It is completely powered by renewable energy. 95% of the land is divided into nature reserves, where sunlight, plants and natural ventilation are balanced.

There are no roads and private cars in this city, and countless sidewalks and bridges connect two buildings.

People can walk to the public station they want to go to in 5 minutes at most, then take the high-speed train to their destination and reach the other side of the city in 20 minutes.

When completed in 2030, The Line will welcome the first batch of 1.5 million residents. In the later stage, we will gradually expand and improve the functions, and increase facilities such as houses, shopping malls, parks and schools, which can accommodate up to 9 million residents.

For Saudi Arabia, this is actually very important, because it is also one of their original intentions to build a new future city NEOM in the northwest, and The Line is an important part of this new future city.

NEOM covers an area of 26,500 square kilometers. In Ben Salman’s vision, it will become a place where everyone in the world can leave their footprints with creativity.

"The world is facing an environmental crisis, and NEOM can provide the most imaginative solutions. We have a team of the brightest talents in engineering and architecture to realize these cutting-edge ideas."

Environmental protection is a signboard with great communication value, but it is not the whole of NEOM. With a huge investment of trillions of dollars, the crown prince is not thinking of doing "charity" for environmental protection.

As early as 2016, Saudi Arabia issued the so-called "Vision 2030", with the goal of diversifying the Saudi economy and getting rid of its dependence on oil.

NEOM, the new future city, is a trump card of Vision 2030.

The Line alone can provide 380,000 new jobs, and it is expected to provide Saudi Arabia with a gross national product of 47.9 billion US dollars by 2030.

03

What is the probability that the spectacle will end badly?

In the "Vision 2030", the big goal is ahead, and now Saudi Arabia is building a lot of buildings, and exaggerated projects are one after another.

Besides NEOM, another most famous project in Saudi Arabia is the Red Sea Project, which will be an important step for Saudi Arabia to become a "global luxury tourist country".

500 kilometers north of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, a super-large luxury resort will be built, and 22 brand-new islands will be built on the Red Sea.

The participating big-name design firms include Kengo Kuma, Foster+Partners and Killa Design, and they will build a large number of seascape villas and desert tents on these islands.

In addition, they have signed contracts with 12 luxury hotels including Ritz-Carlton Seclusion, Magnificent, Liushan, St. Regis, Raffles and Addison. Magnificent and Ritz-Carlton Seclusion are scheduled to be completed and opened by the end of next year.

Building luxury hotels and wonders everywhere, wrestling with rivals such as the United Arab Emirates, and now the $1 trillion The Line is launched …

Is Saudi Arabia really so rich?

Of course, Ben Salman has his own small abacus, attracting investment all over the world with renderings, and plans to list NEOM in the new future city in 2024 to attract more investors.

But the problem is that the Saudi Crown Prince has a bad reputation in the West.

In particular, in 2018, his approval of the execution of Saudi journalist Kachouqi was exposed, which was widely resisted by the international community, and foreign investors in Saudi Arabia even withdrew their funds.

As a result, many magnificent buildings in the original plan were forced to stop the progress of the project, and even have been unfinished.

One of the most famous examples is the "Jeddah Tower" in Jeddah, which started construction in 2016 and has a design height of 1,008 meters. It is planned to surpass the Burj Dubai as the tallest building in the world.

Unexpectedly, in January 2018, construction workers suffered a collective strike of unpaid wages, reaching a height of 600 meters and stopping.

Originally expected to be completed last year, there is only a semi-finished product until now.

Today’s The Line is actually not optimistic about the outside world after the design scheme is announced, and some people even predict that it will be "a bad end".

On the one hand, the reason for funds is that the construction and implementation are too difficult.

For example, it is necessary to drill through the mountains and dig a huge tunnel with a length of 800 meters and 30 floors to let the skyscrapers pass.

In addition, high-rise buildings will be built on the ground in the desert where there is nothing, and 10 huge mansions will be built …

By 2030, can this imaginative "line" really end successfully?

The Central Meteorological Observatory issued a typhoon red warning.

  CCTV News:According to the website of the Central Meteorological Observatory, the Central Meteorological Observatory issued a typhoon red warning at 10: 00 on July 26th: the center of Typhoon DOKSURI (super typhoon level) No.5 this year was located at 8: 00 a.m. on the 26th in the south of bashi channel, about 350 kilometers south of Taiwan Province, China, which was 18.8 degrees north latitude and 121.3 degrees east longitude, and the maximum wind force near the center was 17 (58. The lowest air pressure in the center is 925 hectopascals, the radius of the seventh-level wind circle is 300-450 kilometers, the radius of the tenth-level wind circle is 120-180 kilometers, and the radius of the twelfth-level wind circle is 90-120 kilometers.

  It is estimated that Du Surui will move to the northwest at a speed of 10-15 kilometers per hour, with little change in intensity. It will move into the northeastern part of the South China Sea from the night of 26th to the morning of 27th, and then gradually approach the coastal areas from Fuqing, Fujian to Huilai, Guangdong, and will land in the above coastal areas from the morning of 28th to the morning, with the maximum possibility of landing in Jinjiang, Fujian to the coastal areas at the junction of Fujian and Guangdong (strong typhoon level, 42-48m/s, 14-).

  Gale forecast:From 14: 00 on the 26th to 14: 00 on the 27th, there will be 6-8 winds and 9-10 gusts in bashi channel, the east of Taiwan Province, the northeastern and southern seas of the South China Sea, the Taiwan Province Strait, the southern part of the East China Sea, Taiwan Province Island and its coastal areas and Fujian coastal areas. Among them, the winds in bashi channel, the waters east of the northeastern South China Sea, the waters south of the Taiwan Province Strait and the southern coastal areas of Taiwan Province Island can reach 9-12 and the gusts are 13-15.

  Precipitation forecast:From 14: 00 on the 26th to 14: 00 on the 27th, there were heavy rainstorms in parts of eastern Zhejiang and Taiwan Province Island, among which there were heavy rainstorms (100-150 mm) in parts of southeastern coastal areas of Zhejiang and heavy rainstorms (250-400 mm) in parts of eastern and southern Taiwan Province Island.

  Defense guide:

  1. The government and relevant departments shall, in accordance with their duties, do a good job in typhoon prevention and emergency rescue.

  2. Water operations and passing ships in relevant waters should return to Hong Kong to take shelter from the wind, strengthen port facilities, and prevent ships from anchoring, grounding and collision.

  3. Stop large-scale indoor and outdoor gatherings and dangerous outdoor operations such as high altitude.

  4. Reinforce or dismantle structures that are easy to be blown by the wind. Personnel should not go out at will. They should stay in windproof and safe places as far as possible, so as to ensure that the elderly and children stay in the safest place at home, and the dangerous people will be transferred in time. When the typhoon center passes by, the wind will decrease or stay still for a period of time. Remember that the strong wind will suddenly blow, and you should continue to stay in a safe place to avoid the wind, and the dangerous people will be transferred in time.

  5. Relevant areas should pay attention to prevent flash floods and geological disasters that may be caused by heavy precipitation.

The Biden administration imposed tariffs on imported goods from China, and the American business community repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction.

On the 14th, the United States released the results of the four-year review of China’s imposition of tariff 301, announcing that on the basis of the original tariff 301, it would further impose tariffs on electric vehicles, lithium batteries, photovoltaic cells and other products imported from China.

After the news came out, many business people and business groups in the United States expressed their dissatisfaction.

In a statement to CBN, u.s.-china business council, a group of 270 American companies doing business in China, expressed disappointment with the results of the four-year Section 301 investigation announced by the Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR).

USCBC said: "We are disappointed with this result, because maintaining the previous tariffs (without lowering them) and imposing additional tariffs will eventually make it more difficult for American companies to compete at home and abroad. This will lead to fewer jobs in the United States. In the context of continued inflationary pressures, this will also raise the US consumer price index. "

Earlier, China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said at a regular press conference on the 15th that according to Moody’s company’s calculation, American consumers bear 92% of the cost of levying tariffs on China, and American families increase their expenses by $1,300 a year.

Liu Bin, a researcher at university of international business and economics School of Government Administration and China World Trade Organization Research Institute, said in an interview with China Business News that (compared with Trump’s tariffs on China), we can see that the industries and products subject to tariff increase are relatively concentrated, and the tariff collection quota has been greatly adjusted. For emerging industries, especially new energy vehicles, the United States has a strong intention to restrict or restrict development.

American consumers pay the bill?

On 14th, KenGriffin, American billionaire and founder of Citadel, said at a forum in Qatar: "Imposing high tariffs on China electric vehicles with low price and high quality, which are beneficial to American consumers, is another manifestation of the discontinuity of Biden’s economic strategy."

The National Retail Federation (NRF) is also "very disappointed" with the Biden administration’s move, and said that "as consumers continue to fight inflation, the last thing the (US) government should do is to impose additional taxes on imported products, which will be paid by American importers and ultimately American consumers".

Recently, Goldman Sachs said in a report that "tariffs in 2018-2019 have significantly increased consumer prices" and that these price increases were "almost entirely borne by American enterprises and families", not China exporters.

Goldman Sachs estimates that every one percentage point increase in the effective tariff rate will directly reduce the gross domestic product (GDP) of the United States by 0.03%, increase consumer prices by 0.1% and keep inflation rising for one year.

Sweet, chief American economist at Oxford Economic Research Institute, said that the political significance of tariffs is usually greater than the economic significance.

Sweet said: "Most economists think that tariffs are a bad idea, because tariffs will hinder a country from benefiting from specialization, disrupt the flow of goods and services, and lead to improper allocation of resources. When implementing tariffs, consumers and producers often have to pay higher prices. "

The new york Federal Reserve also found that tariffs in 2018 cost American families $419 a year due to increased tax burden and loss of market efficiency. The researchers estimate that this figure has doubled as other tariffs take effect in 2019.

Economists wrote in a working paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research in January 2024 that the net economic impact of import tariffs, retaliatory tariffs and agricultural subsidies on American employment and enterprises is "at best ‘ Rinse ’ Look, and it may be a slight negative impact. "

The above-mentioned researchers said in this working paper that trade friction does seem to bring political benefits and strengthen the support of the Republican Party in the heartland of the United States and the communities most affected by tariffs. "Residents in areas protected by tariffs are unlikely to identify themselves as Democrats, and they are more likely to vote for Trump. Therefore, despite the high economic cost of tariff protection, voters seem to have given a strong response. "

American industry demands competition.

Recently, U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen frequently appeared in the media to explain the tariff increase policy, but during the interview, she also repeatedly faced questions about whether the tariff increase would drive up prices, including "China’s electric cars are cheaper, so if more people (in the United States) buy them, wouldn’t it help solve the climate change problem".

In this regard, Yellen explained that with the accumulation of experience in producing these products by American companies and the development of newly built battery factories in the central and western regions, the price of automobiles will drop.

However, I am afraid that the industry has different views. CarlosTavares, CEO of Stellantis, a global automobile manufacturer, said that raising tariffs would not protect his company. He believes that "the only choice is to continue fighting", so the only way to compete fairly is to reduce costs and provide electric vehicles at more affordable prices.

In fact, there have been many cases before that prove that imposing high tariffs cannot promote the development of domestic enterprises in the United States.

In 2002, the United States imposed tariffs on imported steel and aluminum products. Subsequent studies showed that although this only caused economic losses of about $30 million, it led to an increase in the price of the steel consumption industry in the United States, and led to a sharp decline in employment opportunities in the entire steel industry, especially those small enterprises that did not have market power to influence prices.

In 2009, the United States imposed tariffs on tires imported from China. The Peterson Institute for International Economics found that this move was thought to have saved about 1,200 jobs in the tire manufacturing industry in the United States, but it cost Americans $1.1 billion in the form of rising prices.

A veteran who has been engaged in the import and export industry in the United States for a long time told the First Financial Reporter that in his view, the United States’ practice of adjusting tariffs this time is more posturing than actual impact.

Taking the solar panel products he is very familiar with as an example, he told reporters that before this adjustment, the solar panels imported by the United States from China had been greatly reduced due to anti-dumping duties: most of the solar panels on the American market were imported from Viet Nam or Thailand, and very few were directly imported from China. In fact, since last year, thousands of containers of related enterprises in China have been detained at the American terminal, and related enterprises may have paid millions of dollars in yard fees at the terminal. The current policy of the United States clearly shows that in order to enter the American market, these companies must set up factories in the United States.

However, in view of some cases that have happened, the prospect of setting up factories in the United States is not optimistic. "If the United States does block the import channels from Vietnam, I can’t imagine where American solar panels will be imported. But it seems unrealistic to rely on solar panels produced locally in the United States. " He added that many media in the United States have also questioned this, and they don’t understand why the import of clean energy products from China should be prevented, especially in the context that the US government has been advocating these clean energy technologies.

Cui Fan, a professor in the Department of International Trade of university of international business and economics Institute of International Economics and Trade, also told China Business News that Biden’s government has begun to contain the overseas investment of China Photovoltaic.

He explained that on April 24, the United States began the photovoltaic double-reverse investigation procedure for Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia and Thailand. It is expected that the preliminary ruling will be made this year and the final ruling will be made in the middle of next year. At present, the dumping margin of the four countries listed in the application for investigation ranges from 70.35% to 271.45%, which once blocked the photovoltaic exports of the four countries to the United States.

What needs to be noted is that after the United States announced the imposition of tariffs on China, the EU side, which is conducting countervailing investigations on China’s electric vehicles, is more cautious.

In an interview with China Business News, Liu Bin said that the US tariff increase on China may have a demonstration effect on the EU. However, unlike the United States, the trade links between China and Europe are closer, and the EU is more dependent on the China market.

Liu Bin said that at the same time, China’s new energy vehicles have entered the EU market, which has a "first-Mover advantage". Therefore, it is unlikely that the EU will adjust tariffs on a large scale and in a high amount like the United States. However, the EU may stand in a higher position and adjust taxes in the name of environmental protection.

The 2020 Car Emperor Annual Car List was announced! Volvo XC60 won the "Best Safety Model of the Year" award.

   Recently, the list of "Car of the Year Who Know Car Emperor in 2020" was officially released. This annual car list is based on the evaluation results of "Knowing Car Emperor’s Actual Measurement" in 2020, which is different from the evaluation based on the subjective feelings of car editors. Knowing Car Emperor judges by the measured data results, which brings consumers a more objective and real annual car list and provides users with a powerful reference for car purchase.

   It is understood that the "Know Car Emperor’s Actual Measurement" is that the original team of Know Car Emperor selected more than 400 popular models in the market according to the user’s attention to the models, and conducted a unified standard practical test, including data such as "safety", "space", "energy consumption", "performance and handling" that users are most concerned about, and finally formed an objective and reliable evaluation database, and sent users a simple and easy-to-understand "automobile configuration manual".

  Know the car emperor’s annual car announced seven awards, a number of popular models on the list.

   The 2020 annual car list includes seven awards, including the best safety model of the year, the best family car of the year and the best electric car of the year.

   In the test of knowing the car emperor, Volvo XC60 became the first AEB test full score model. Moreover, with its amazing performance in elk, braking and body structure safety, it has become the best safety model of the year.

   Know the car emperor’s best family car of the year, won by Honda Odyssey Rui Hybrid. It has good performance in space, fuel consumption and quality stability. Coupled with a good rate of preservation, it has become an excellent choice for family cars.

   Since 2020, electric vehicles have become the trend of the times, and it has also become the measured object of the original team that understands the car emperor. The results show that Weilai ES6 won the best electric vehicle of the year with its strongest comprehensive strength. No matter in driving quality, sports performance or intelligent safety, it is the most balanced electric vehicle in the electric vehicle industry at present.

   The actual measurement has gone through the unified measurement process, including "static acceleration test", "braking distance test", "Elk test", "Jingang circuit lap speed test" and "fuel consumption test". All models have been repeatedly tested by the same professional racer in the same professional racetrack for more than 100 times. Moreover, they all use equipment and test methods and standards that meet international standards. Taking the Elk test as an example, more than 300 vehicles strictly implement the ISO3888-2 international standard, and each vehicle will be tested for nearly 20 times, constantly approaching the limit posture of the vehicle, so as to fully quantify the safety and handling of the vehicle. In addition, the actual measurement also creatively joined the original project of knowing the car emperor-the lap speed test of Jingang circuit. At the full speed of each car, the measured team who knows the car emperor records its lap speed, straight tail speed, low-speed corner, high-speed corner, etc., so as to effectively grasp the overall mobility of the car. Under the unified and professional measurement of knowing the car emperor, the list data is more objective and reliable.

   In addition to the above three award-winning models, Know Car Emperor also divided the rest of the award list in detail according to the characteristics of the models and the demand for vehicles: McLaren 720S won the Best Performance Car of the Year by virtue of its excellent power and aerodynamic design; Land Rover Defender passed all the test items in the test of Chedi off-road base and won the best off-road vehicle of the year.

  Dedicated to the professional evaluation of automobiles, bringing valuable content to users.

   After long-term development, China has become the largest automobile production and sales market in the world. However, with the increasing popularity of automobiles, various brand models emerge one after another, and the market information is increasingly huge, which greatly increases the cost and difficulty of consumers’ car purchase decision.

   Compared with developed countries, China’s automobile evaluation system is still in its infancy. Most of the existing evaluation systems lack unified standards, are mixed with subjective factors, and the evaluation results have certain errors. Consumers lack a scientific and professional reference index for car purchase. In this context, as a professional automobile media in China, car owners can learn from foreign experience and integrate their own advantages to provide consumers with more accurate car purchase guidance.

   Knowing the car emperor’s actual measurement not only follows the international professional evaluation process and standards, but also creatively adds original actual measurement items to the China automobile market, so as to create an automobile evaluation system serving China automobile consumers. Relying on the professional testing team, testing site and equipment, Knowing Car Emperor not only forms a measurable and referential standard for China automobile testing, but also forms a more professional and fair automobile selection system, setting a brand-new benchmark for third-party professionals to participate in automobile evaluation.

   Up to now, Master Car has a very comprehensive vehicle evaluation database, and based on standardized venues, professional tools and equipment, and industry-recognized testing methods, it has gradually established a perfect evaluation system for Master Car, including unique active safety evaluation standards, track performance testing standards and off-road ability testing standards. It provides users with reliable, retrievable and comparable vehicle evaluation data products.

   For a long time, the team who knows the contents of Chedi insists on providing users with professional, data-based and most referential documentary evaluation contents based on the needs of users. In order to ensure the authority of evaluation and disassembly contents, the team not only needs to consult experts frequently, but also make up a lot of knowledge of materials science. The 2020 Car of the Year, which was selected this time, provides accurate reference for consumers with car purchase needs by subdividing the award-winning models, so that users can choose models as needed. In addition, there is an original evaluation channel in the station, which can help customers better understand the performance and detailed evaluation data of the vehicle.

   In the future practice, Knowing Car Emperor will continue to lead the new trend of automobile evaluation in China with strict and scientific evaluation procedures and standards, and build a weather vane for the automobile industry. While helping consumers to obtain more convenient and scientific car purchase information, it will also help high-quality car brands stand out in the evaluation and promote the Excellence and healthy development of the automobile industry.

Terrorist attacks in the suburbs of Moscow | What is the strength of the Russian anti-terrorism special forces that have attracted much attention?

The terrorist attacks in Russia shocked the world and made Russian anti-terrorism forces the focus of discussion.

According to CCTV news reported on March 26, local time, on March 26, the Russian Federal Security Service announced that it had foiled a terrorist attack that was planned to be carried out in a humanitarian relief material receiving station in Samara. Bortnikov, director of the Russian Federal Security Service, said that Russia still faces a terrorist threat.

On the evening of March 22, local time, a terrorist attack took place in the "Saffron City Hall" in Moscow, Russia. According to the statistics of the Russian investigation Committee, the attack has caused 143 deaths and 182 injuries, and the concert hall building was burned in the fire. This is the most serious terrorist attack in Russia in the past two decades. Soon after, Russian military and police personnel, including Chechen special forces, quickly took action and completed the interception and arrest when the murderer was about 100 kilometers away from the Ukrainian border in Bryansk State.

In order to deal with terrorism, Russia has set up several special operations forces that are very professional and have strong combat effectiveness, and carried out work according to the characteristics of anti-terrorism operations.

The professional anti-terrorism force born of terrorist attacks

Russia has long been threatened by terrorism. In the mid-1990s, terrorist activities in Russia became increasingly rampant and showed an upward trend. In the early 21st century, it reached an unprecedented scale, and terrorist attacks with global significance such as Beslan hostage incident occurred at this stage. Terrorists from Chechnya, Central Asia and Afghanistan entered Russia to spread terrorism, extremism and separatism, recruit members and plan terrorist activities.

In order to deal with the threat of terrorism, Russia has been paying more attention to the construction of anti-terrorism mechanism, and at the same time, it has intensified its efforts to crack down on terrorist activities. At present, it has formed a relatively solid foundation of anti-terrorism laws and regulations, and established a vertical command and coordination system for anti-terrorism operations. At the same time, Russia also attaches great importance to the implementation of anti-terrorism operations, and has established several special combat forces with very professional and strong combat effectiveness to carry out work according to the characteristics of anti-terrorism operations.

At present, Russia’s special anti-terrorism forces mainly include the General Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, the Alpha and the Signal Flag, and the Russian Federal Internal Security Forces, among which the Alpha and the Signal Flag belong to the Federal Security Administration and the Internal Security Forces belong to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Among them, the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, also known as Gruu, claims to be the most confidential department of Russian intelligence agencies. On October 21, 1918, at Trotsky’s suggestion, Lenin signed an order to formally set up the registration department under the Field General Staff of the Revolutionary Military Commission of the Republic to lead the military intelligence work on all fronts of the Red Army in a unified way, with Simon Ivanovich Aranov, who was born in Cheka, as the first minister. The story of "Gruwu" begins, and November 5 every year is designated as the anniversary of the establishment of "Gruwu". Unlike the KGB (the KGB was split into two parts after the disintegration of the Soviet Union: the Federal Security Service and the Foreign Intelligence Service), Gruwu did not sink after the disintegration of the Soviet Union and still played an important role in the armed forces of the Russian Federation. On November 5, 2006, on the 88th anniversary of the founding of Grupo, the new headquarters of Grupo in Moscow was officially opened.

The specific establishment and tasks of the special operations forces under the "Gruu" remain a mystery until today. It is reported that there are currently 24 well-trained special assault brigades in Gruu, with a total number of about 30,000 people. Its main task is to deter and prevent sudden attacks and strike behind enemy lines. Its main base is located in Chuchikovo, Ryazan, Russia. From the two wars in Chechnya to the little green men in Crimea, to the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine and the civil war in Syria, there are "Gruu" special forces. It is generally believed that on April 21, 1996, it was the "Gruu" special forces that provided accurate strike guidance on the spot, which enabled two Russian Su -25 fighters to launch missiles and successfully killed Chechen rebel leader dudayev, who was making a mobile phone call to the outside world.

In recent ten years, the actions against other Chechen rebel leaders, such as basaev, maskhadov and others, are basically recognized by the outside world as being related to "Gruwu". At the end of 2015, five Russian special forces were killed in combat operations in Syria. Although Russian officials once denied it, it is generally believed that these people are soldiers of Gruu. In the centennial celebration speech in 2018, Putin fully affirmed the role played by Gruu in Syria in the past few years, pointing out that Gruu provided vital target information and other intelligence for the Russian army to crack down on extremist organizations in Syria.

Both "Alpha" and "Signal Flag" special forces belong to the Federal Security Administration. The two armies have made great achievements in the hostage incident in the theater of Moscow Bearing Factory and the hostage incident in Beslan, which has attracted the attention of Russia and abroad.

The purpose of "Alpha" special forces is mainly to engage in anti-terrorism activities in Russia and deal with terrorism such as hostage-taking and bomb-planting. Its history can be traced back to 1974. It was originally called "KGB Group A" and was renamed "Alpha" in 1991. "Alpha" special forces are carefully selected from national security organs, airborne troops, border guards and military school graduates. In addition to being physically strong and responsive, they also need to pass intelligence tests.

The unit has now become the backbone of Russia’s counter-terrorism. In 1993, the terrorist Zaharijev hijacked a Russian civil aviation Il -86 passenger plane. Alpha was ordered to go out, sneaked into the cabin from the cargo hold at night, and quickly subdued the gangsters. Zaharijev was captured on the spot, and the plane and passengers were all safe. In a hijacking incident in 1997, "Alpha" once again captured the gangster alive, and all 142 passengers were safe and sound.

Among the anti-terrorism forces, the "Alpha" and "Signal Flag" special forces are two well-known forces, both of which belong to the Federal Security Administration.

The main task of the "signal flag" special forces is to carry out the security work of Russian institutions abroad, including anti-sabotage, anti-espionage, anti-subversion and defending the leaders. The "signal flag" special forces was established in 1981, initially under the KGB Anti-Spy Bureau, and then disbanded and reorganized in 1993. It is reported that the "signal flag" special forces usually carry out activities in classes, and the number of people in each class ranges from 10 to 30. When the situation is urgent, several classes can be quickly combined to form a larger force.

According to the data, during the war in Afghanistan, the "signal flag" has been active, and every province in Afghanistan has its action team. In addition, "Signal Flag" has conducted similar activities in Cuba, Syria, Vietnam, Mozambique, Angola and Nicaragua. In 1992, 10 members of the "signal flag" subdued 14 armed thugs in 10 seconds at the "three stations" subway station in Moscow, and seized $1 million in counterfeit US dollars. In 1993, the "signal flag" special forces successfully stopped a premeditated terrorist explosion outside Yekaterinburg. On July 16, 2023, five Russian "signal flag" special forces went deep behind enemy lines and carried out sabotage operations on an underground ammunition depot in Odessa.

The special forces of the internal affairs forces of the Russian Federation are under the jurisdiction of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, mainly including the 604 Special Operations Center, Rosic and other special forces. Among them, the 604 Special Operations Center was formed by the merger of the "Warrior" special forces and the "Ross" special forces. It is the core of the special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and is responsible for counter-terrorism and other tasks such as responding to domestic riots and prison riots. The special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have also made great achievements in many anti-terrorist operations, including the hostage incident in the Grand Theatre of Moscow Bearing Factory, and they also belong to one of the backbone of Russian anti-terrorist operations.

After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Russian anti-terrorism forces also participated, which affected the domestic anti-terrorism capability to some extent. Although Russia discloses little information, it is generally believed that the fierce conflict between Russia and Ukraine has contained Russia’s anti-terrorism forces. According to media reports, on July 16, 2023, five Russian "signal flag" special forces went deep behind enemy lines and carried out sabotage operations on an underground ammunition depot in Odessa. It was reported that the Russian army had attacked the facility with cruise missiles before, but it was unsuccessful. In order to completely destroy the underground ammunition depot, the Russian army sent a sabotage team behind the enemy lines composed of five special warfare players to secretly approach the target and launch a surprise attack. After killing several defenders, the Russian army installed a timed explosive device to blow up the ammunition depot, and then all the staff returned to the station safely.

A rising star of Chechen special forces

In addition to the above troops, the Chechen special forces involved in the arrest of the suspects of the "concert hall terrorist attack" are also a rising star in the Russian anti-terrorism field.

After the Chechen war ended in 2001, local terrorist activities were very active. In order to effectively crack down on terrorist activities carried out by illegal organizations, while sending a large number of federal troops, the Russian central government also agreed to set up local armed forces subordinate to local leaders.

In order to stabilize the domestic situation, Chechen leader Kadyrov recruited 7,000-14,000 separatist militants in 2002 -2005, and incorporated some of them into the security department of the Republic. Only the independent patrol team of the Chechen Ministry of Internal Affairs has 10 companies (about 4,000 people). In order to effectively carry out anti-terrorism operations, Kadyrov established the Northern Battalion and the Southern Battalion in 2006. The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs gave them the official designations of Independent Special Battalion 248 and 249, and the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs also allocated 2 billion rubles for them. After the establishment of the two battalions, they were controlled by the 46th Mobu Brigade stationed in Chechnya by the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. Each battalion consists of three patrol companies, one reconnaissance company and one support unit, and the support unit consists of medical platoon, communication platoon and technical support platoon. The total number of the two battalions is more than 1,200, including more than 700 in the northern battalion, which is stationed in Grozny, the capital of the Chechen Republic, mainly to protect the security of the capital, and more than 500 in the southern battalion, which is stationed in Vijno area, which is adjacent to the Republic of Dagestan. The local terrorist activities are very active and cracked down.

At present, the "Ahmat" rapid reaction special force is a well-known Chechen unit, which belongs to the National Guard of the Russian Federation and is deployed in Chechnya. It was named "Ahmat" to commemorate the first Chechen President akhmad kadyrov. This special force was established in 2009, and its commander is the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of the Chechen Republic, Apti Arnold. After the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict broke out in February 2022, the "Ahmat" special forces participated in the war against Ukraine and achieved some results.
