Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, December 8-Richard Falk, honorary professor of international law and practice at Princeton University in the United States, said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency a few days ago that the United States failed in the past wars, but did not learn the lesson.

　　The American government has evolved into a "militarised state bureaucracy", blindly pursuing a national strategy based on military strength and covering up American hegemony with words such as "rules-based international order". In contrast, China’s peaceful development shows the superiority of a non-coercive and win-win foreign policy.

　　Falk is an international jurist and former national legal expert of the United Nations. He visited Vietnam in the war in his early years, and that personal experience made him deeply doubt the legitimacy and legitimacy of American overseas wars.

　　He said: "I have traveled to Hanoi, contacted the high-level authorities and witnessed the tragedy of the (American) high-tech war machine exerting its arrogance on an agricultural society, while Vietnam just wants to achieve independence. This experience has subverted my cognition. "

　　In Falk’s view, the United States still failed to learn the lessons of the Vietnam War, but kept stumbling over the same mistake. He said: "Although the United States has absolute military superiority, it still failed in Vietnam. Later, it still did not learn the lesson and did not realize that military intervention was not an effective geopolitical policy."

　　Falk said that the American war in the Middle East has increasingly exposed its "military intervention — — Subvert the regime — — Long-term occupation — — The absurd nature of the routine script of "supporting political power"

　　The former UN expert pointed out that the unrealistic expectation of the American political class to have military superiority and use it to intimidate geopolitical opponents is no longer in line with the general trend of the world.

　　He said: "Facts have proved that the United States has shown a belligerent posture for a long time after World War II, which has caused its foreign policy to rely too much on force. The United States has gradually become a highly militarised national bureaucracy, and even in peacetime, it retains a high military budget, causing the United States to continue to exaggerate security threats and lie that military means are sufficient to meet the challenges of foreign policy. "

　　"The American political class blindly follows the paradigm of political realism, that is, it expects to intimidate geopolitical opponents by virtue of its own military superiority. However, the history of the late 20th century and 21st century shows that ‘ Soft power ’ Has begun to dominate world history. Hard power (military power) can still be destroyed, but it is no longer possible to dominate the political direction. "

　　Falk also added that military intervention and military power projection have long been outdated and lost their effectiveness. However, even if these means are destined to lead to political mistakes, they continue to be favored by American arms industry, private military and security companies.

　　The American authorities advocate "rules-based international order" in foreign policy. In this regard, Falk pointed out that similar remarks "absolutely do not mean that the United States will respect international law, but mean that other countries will be forced to abide by the will of the United States and the rules specified by the United States. The United States itself has let go of its geopolitical ambitions, ignoring the framework set by international law and the UN Charter. "

　　In his view, the so-called "forced labor" and "genocide" charges of the United States against China are typical cases. This expert in international human rights law believes that the United States selectively uses human rights issues to incite anti-China sentiment and regards human rights as a tool for political propaganda.

　　Falk believes that under the elaborate disguise of "defending the rules-based international order", the US authorities "intensified the confrontation of the US policy toward China". He also condemned the world outlook behind this foreign policy as "the legacy of the Cold War era, and regarded (military) alliance and geopolitical confrontation as the primary task of defending western security." He believes that "this geopolitical confrontational stance, coupled with the already high military budget, has caused the decline of the status of the United States as a big country, making it impossible for the United States to ensure its own infrastructure and social protection for its own people."

　　In Falk’s view, China’s more peaceful rise shows the superiority and mutual benefit of "soft power world outlook and strategy", while the United States has intensified its confrontational attitude towards China instead of learning from it and changing its course, hoping to safeguard its global hegemony.

　　Falk warned that there was a dangerous impulse within the American political class and advocated the "necessity" and urgency of the war against China. He said that such a serious misjudgment is the result of their blind belief in military strength and the hegemonic position of the United States in the world.

　　From July 26th to August 6th, during the 12-day period when Golden Beach Beer City opened its doors for customers, the west coast law enforcement agencies inspected 25,075 batches of food raw materials, inspected 2,018 households, sampled 1,320 batches of food, and issued 507 supervision opinions. The staff of the Market Supervision Bureau running in the beer city built a food safety defense line for the beer city to protect the safety of citizens and tourists.

　　The source controls the food entering the park.

　　At about 14 o’clock on the 6th, the reporter followed the law enforcement team of Qingdao West Coast New District Market Supervision Bureau to inspect the freight vehicles that are about to enter the park one by one. On the street outside the logistics channel monitoring station, a young man carrying tofu was stopped by the team members. It turned out that in the routine inspection just conducted, the young man could not provide relevant certificates such as the store business license.

　　"All foods and drinks entering Golden Beach Beer City must be qualified as manufacturers, and at the same time, they must have corresponding purchase orders and inspection reports. Those who do not meet the requirements are prohibited from entering the park." Zhang Haijun, deputy director of Qingdao West Coast New District Market Supervision Bureau, said that the team members need to check the business license, food business license, test report, purchase receipts and other qualifications of the suppliers one by one for the vehicles entering the park to ensure the safety of the food entering the park.

　　Although the young man kept telling the team members that he could eat a piece of tofu to prove his safety, the team members still stopped him outside the beer city. At his side, two other young people took away more than 300 kilograms of rice cakes with carts. The same reason is that it is impossible to provide relevant certificates such as store business license.

　　Products that are returned because they cannot provide relevant certificates are not a case. In order to ensure the food safety of Oktoberfest, the Market Supervision Bureau set up a 19-person logistics channel group to inspect the food processing raw materials and newly produced draft beers entering the beer city batch by batch in three time periods: morning (6: 00-8: 00), noon (12: 30-14: 30) and early morning (11: 00-3: 00), and to check the three noes. As of the 6th, 25,075 batches of food raw materials have been inspected and 63 batches of unqualified ingredients have been returned.

　　In addition, the relevant staff of the Market Supervision Bureau also implemented an uninterrupted inspection system for beer tents and beer huts, focusing on the purchase and sale accounts, food shelf life, production date, etc., and supervising the destruction of overnight spoiled food and beer found in the inspection. By the 6th, 2018 households had been inspected, 332 kilograms of seafood and overnight food had been destroyed, and 507 supervision opinions had been issued.

　　Quick food inspection and investigation of potential safety hazards

　　In terms of food inspection, the Market Supervision Bureau has specially set up a Oktoberfest quick inspection team to conduct quick on-site inspection on the food and containers sold every day. The detection items include pesticide residue detection of fruits and vegetables, clenbuterol detection of pork and mutton, nitrite detection of cooked meat products, malachite green and formaldehyde detection of fresh seafood, chloramphenicol detection of cultured aquatic products, ATP detection of sterilized tableware and wine, etc.

　　"Generally within 30 minutes, the test can be completed in 1 minute at the earliest." Xue Jun, head of the quick inspection team, said that the quick inspection method is timely and effective, which is convenient for staff to respond quickly to tourists’ complaints, ensure food safety in the first time and investigate food safety hazards. "If the test result is positive, we will notify the district testing center or a third party to test and sample, send it to the laboratory for further testing and confirmation, and investigate and deal with the suspected illegal activities." Xue Jun said.

　　In order to strengthen the intensity and frequency of sampling inspection and ensure food safety to the maximum extent, the fast-track inspection team of the Market Supervision Bureau conducts random sampling inspection on the food operated by Oktoberfest households every day, sampling about 120 batches of samples every day, and so far, a total of 1,320 batches have been tested.

　　Check the price. Tourists eat with peace of mind.

　　In order to make the tourists in Golden Beach Beer City have a good time, the Market Supervision Bureau also strictly controls the price tag, giving administrative guidance to the price lists of 9 beer tents, 3 e-sports areas, 34 wooden houses and 18 Zhiwei food cities, indicating the types and weights of seafood and kebabs, deleting bad advertising slogans such as "killing bean skin" and "bombing squid" and modifying "oysters".

　　In addition, there is a special equipment inspection team, which randomly checks at least 3 elevators, 2 large amusement facilities and 5 sightseeing bus every day, and issues a rectification instruction on the spot for illegal behaviors of users. Now, 3 cases of illegal use of special equipment have been investigated and rectified in time. (Qilu Evening News Qilu point reporter Pan Xuye intern Zhang Mingkun correspondent Lan Meina)

The State Council Press Office held a press conference at 10 am on Wednesday, January 13th, 2016, and invited Huang Songping, spokesman of the General Administration of Customs, to introduce the import and export situation in 2015 and answer questions from reporters.

The picture shows the press conference.

Hu Kaihong:
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the press conference of the State Council Information Office. Today, we invited Mr. Huang Songping, spokesman of the General Administration of Customs, and asked him to introduce the import and export situation in 2015 and answer your questions. Let’s ask Director Huang to introduce the situation first.

Huang Yuping:
Hello, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to today’s press conference. It’s a pleasure to meet you and report on China’s foreign trade import and export in 2015, and then answer your questions.

In 2015, the overall recovery of the global economy was weak, the prospects were difficult and tortuous, the downward pressure on the domestic economy was great, and the development of foreign trade entered a new normal. According to customs statistics, in 2015, the total import and export value of China’s goods trade was 24.59 trillion yuan, down 7% from 2014. Among them, exports were 14.14 trillion yuan, down 1.8%; Imports were 10.45 trillion yuan, down 13.2%; The trade surplus was 3.69 trillion yuan, up 56.7%.

In the complicated and severe situation, the development of foreign trade still presents some positive changes and highlights, mainly in the following aspects:

First, the mode of trade is becoming more reasonable. With the vigorous promotion of the State Council’s "steady growth and structural adjustment" measures, the import and export value of China’s general trade in 2015 was 13.29 trillion yuan, down 6.5%, accounting for 54% of the total import and export value, accounting for 0.3 percentage points higher than the previous year; Of which exports increased by 2.2%.

Second, the diversification of trading partners has made positive progress. In 2015, the European Union, the United States and ASEAN were my top three trading partners, with bilateral trade values of 3.51 trillion yuan, 3.47 trillion yuan and 2.93 trillion yuan respectively. In the same period, China’s trade with ASEAN, India and other emerging markets performed relatively well, with the bilateral trade value with ASEAN slightly decreasing by 0.6% and India increasing by 2.5%, both of which were better than the overall situation of import and export.

Third, the foreign trade of private enterprises shows vitality. In 2015, the import and export of private enterprises in China was 9.1 trillion yuan, a slight decrease of 0.2%, accounting for 37% of the total import and export value, an increase of 2.5 percentage points; Of which exports increased by 3.1%.

Fourth, the structure of export commodities was further optimized. In 2015, China exported 8.15 trillion yuan of mechanical and electrical products, up 1.2%, accounting for 57.7% of the total export value, up 1.7 percentage points from the previous year. In the same period, the total export value of seven categories of labor-intensive products, such as textiles, clothing, luggage, footwear, toys, furniture and plastic products, was 2.93 trillion yuan, down by 1.7%, accounting for 20.7% of the total export value; Among them, the export of toys, furniture, luggage and plastic products maintained growth.

5. The import volume of some bulk commodities maintained growth, and the terms of trade further improved. In 2015, the import volume of some bulk commodities in China kept increasing. Among them, imported iron ore was 953 million tons, an increase of 2.2%; 334 million tons of crude oil, up 8.8%. In the same period, China’s import prices generally fell by 11.6%. Among them, the prices of iron ore, crude oil, refined oil, soybeans, coal and copper fell deeply. In the same period, China’s export prices generally fell by 1%, which was significantly smaller than the overall decline of import prices in the same period. From this calculation, China’s trade price terms index was 112.1 in 2015, which indicated that a certain number of goods exported by China could be exchanged for 12.1% more imported goods, which meant that China’s trade price terms were obviously improved and the foreign trade benefits were improved.

The picture shows Huang Songping, spokesman of the General Administration of Customs, introducing the import and export situation in 2015.

At the same time, we must also see that there are still some difficulties in the development of China’s foreign trade. For example, in 2015, China’s bilateral trade with the EU and Japan decreased by 7.2% and 9.9% respectively; The import and export of foreign-invested enterprises and state-owned enterprises decreased by 6.5% and 12.1% respectively; The import and export of processing trade decreased by 10.6%. In December 2015, China’s foreign trade export leading index was 31.2, down 0.8 from November, indicating that China’s export pressure was still relatively high in the first quarter of this year.

Faced with the severe and complicated foreign trade situation, the Customs will resolutely implement the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council in accordance with the overall arrangement of the Central Economic Work Conference, and promote the stable growth, transformation and upgrading of foreign trade.

Now I’d like to answer your questions.

Hu Kaihong:
Thank you, Director Huang. Let’s start asking questions. Please inform the news organization you represent before asking questions.

CCTV reporter:
In the data you just released, the import and export volume of foreign trade showed a double decline in 2015. What do you think of this? Besides, I noticed that this situation only happened once in the case of the global financial crisis in 2009, and it happened again in 2015. What do you think may be the reason?

Huang Yuping:
In recent years, China’s economy has been more deeply integrated into the world economy, and the development of foreign trade has also entered a new normal development stage with the low growth of the global economy. 2015 can be said to be a year in which the international and domestic situation of China’s goods trade has been more complicated and severe since the new round of global financial crisis. Although the import and export values have declined, through the joint efforts of the whole country, our exports are obviously better than those of the major economies in the world, and the market share has increased compared with the previous year. The drop in import value is large, mainly due to the sharp drop in international commodity prices. This is our overall evaluation of China’s import and export performance of goods trade in 2015.

According to our analysis, the double decline of China’s foreign trade import and export in 2015 has the following specific factors: from the perspective of exports, the main reason is the sluggish external demand. Since 2008, the international financial crisis has destroyed the growth momentum of the world economy, and the overall recovery of the international economy is weak, which has led to a period of deep adjustment of global trade, thus inhibiting China’s export growth. I have just introduced that the export value of China’s mechanical and electrical products only increased by 1.2% in 2015, down by 1.4 percentage points from the previous year. The export value of traditional labor-intensive products decreased by 1.7%, which is also a rare situation in recent years.

This is also confirmed by the global export situation announced by the World Trade Organization. Since 2015, the global export value has experienced a sharp decline, which is rare in recent years. According to the data released by WTO, in dollar terms, the global export value declined by more than 11% in the first 10 months of 2015, which was a decline again after the global financial crisis broke out in 2009. As I mentioned just now, in 2015, China’s exports were significantly better than those of the major economies in the world. In dollar terms, China’s exports fell by 2.5% in the first 10 months, while US exports fell by 6.5%, EU by 13.2% and Japan by 9.5% in the same period.

From the perspective of imports, I will first talk about two sets of data. The first set of data is the price of crude oil in the international market. In 2015, the futures price of NYSE light crude oil was around $50 a barrel at the beginning of the year, and rose to $60 a barrel in the middle of the year, but fell below $40 a barrel by the end of the year, which was more than 40% lower than the year-end peak. By the beginning of 2016, the price is close to $30 per barrel. In the past year, the average import price of our crude oil also dropped from 2856 yuan per ton at the beginning of the year to 2020 yuan per ton in December, with a cumulative decrease of 29.3%. The average import price for the whole year dropped by 45.3% compared with the previous year. The second set of data is the CRB price index of commodities of the US Bureau of Commodity Investigation. This index fell to the level of the global financial crisis in 2008 in 2015. Since May 2014, the CRB price index began to drop sharply from 500 points. Although it rebounded slightly in the first half of 2015, it generally showed a downward trend. By the end of 2015, it fell to 380 points, down 24% from the highest level of the previous year. In January 2016, the index continued to fall to 370 points, approaching the level of 300 points from the end of 2008 to the beginning of 2009 during the global financial crisis. In 2015, the average import prices of bulk commodities such as iron ore, coal, refined oil and copper in China also fell, with year-on-year declines of 39%, 21.8%, 38.3% and 17.1% respectively.

The sharp drop in the prices of major commodities in the world has actually confirmed the slow recovery of the world economy and the sluggish demand. Of course, as China’s economic development enters a new normal, the domestic economy is facing greater downward pressure, and the growth rate of some bulk commodity imports has also slowed down. In 2015, China’s crude oil imports increased by 8.8%, iron ore imports increased by 2.2%, while coal, copper and steel imports decreased by 29.9%, 0.3% and 11.4% respectively, all of which were lower than the previous year. Therefore, the sharp drop in global commodity prices and the slowdown in the growth rate of commodity imports are important reasons for the decline in China’s import value in 2015. Thank you.

Phoenix TV reporter:
We have seen that the exchange rate of RMB has depreciated sharply in these two days except these two days. I’d like to ask you, considering the trend of RMB exchange rate, what do you think of the impact of exchange rate on import and export in 2016?

Huang Yuping:
Recently, the exchange rate has changed rapidly. The change of exchange rate will affect China’s import and export situation to a certain extent. This year’s foreign trade situation, various factors will affect the import and export of foreign trade, and the impact of exchange rate depends on the specific changes in exchange rate this year. We will continue to pay attention to the changes in exchange rate and trade.

Nigerian national television reporter:
Import and export trade between China and Africa in 2015 and between China and Nigeria. Is the trade between China and Nigeria balanced? If it is unbalanced, which side will benefit more? And how to make China-Nepal trade more balanced?

Huang Yuping:
In 2015, the import and export of bilateral trade between China and Africa was 1.11 trillion yuan, down 18.3% year-on-year, of which 0.67 trillion yuan was exported, up 3.6%, and 0.44 trillion yuan was imported, down 38.4%. Imports and exports with Nigeria were 92.7 billion yuan, down 16.3% year-on-year, of which exports were 85 billion yuan, down 10.1%, and imports were 7.7 billion yuan, down 52.8%.

In 2015, Nigeria was China’s third largest trading partner and second largest export market in Africa. China’s exports to Nigeria are mainly mechanical and electrical products and textiles, while imports are mainly commodities such as logs and crude oil.

China’s adherence to opening-up and development and its economic and trade cooperation with African countries, including Nigeria, must be mutually beneficial and win-win.

Last December, the Supreme Leader of president met with Nigerian President Buhari. I believe that in the future, as long as the two sides make joint efforts, give full play to the two advantages of traditional friendship and strong economic complementarity, enhance political mutual trust, close friendly exchanges and deepen cooperation in various fields, they will certainly promote the all-round and rapid development of friendly and mutually beneficial cooperation between the two countries. Thank you.

Russian Tass news agency reporter:
My first question is about Sino-Russian trade in 2015. The second question is, Sino-Russian trade seems to have declined last year. Can it stabilize and rebound this year? Thank you.

Huang Yuping:
In 2015, the total bilateral trade between China and Russia was 422.73 billion yuan, down by 27.8%. Among them, exports to Russia reached 216.24 billion yuan, down 34.4%. Imports from Russia were 206.49 billion yuan, down 19.1%, and the trade surplus was 9.75 billion yuan, narrowing by 86.9%.

Last year should be a severe and complicated year for international trade. This year’s situation, we think, is still rather severe and complicated. Whether there can be a positive trend in Sino-Russian trade, I think, one depends on the economic situation of the two countries and the international environment and situation. Thank you.

Xinhua News Agency reporter:
Last year, both our import and export declined, but you also mentioned that the quality and efficiency of our foreign trade have improved. What are the main aspects? How do you expect the situation of our foreign trade import and export this year? Is it as severe as last year? Thank you.

Let me answer the second question first. In 2016, there will be no obvious improvement in the situation of low world economic growth and sluggish external demand, and China’s foreign trade development still faces many difficulties. However, as long as we follow the unified decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, grasp the correct direction, push forward our work in a down-to-earth manner, accelerate the formation of a new pattern of foreign trade opening-up and actively cultivate new advantages in international competition, I think with the continuous advancement of China’s comprehensive deepening reform and opening-up process, various measures to promote the steady growth of foreign trade will be gradually put in place, and all the work to promote foreign trade development will achieve tangible results, and we will certainly achieve higher quality and more effective development.

In terms of quality and efficiency last year, we have improved. Although trade faces many difficulties, thanks to hard efforts in all aspects, China’s foreign trade has also achieved new results in optimizing its structure, and it has also made outstanding achievements in upgrading quality, efficiency and upgrading, and being superior in entry and exit, mainly as follows:

First, it has maintained its position as the largest country in global trade in goods. At present, China is already the world’s largest country in goods trade and the largest exporter. Combined with the trade situation of the world’s major economies, China will still maintain the position of the world’s largest total value of goods trade in 2015, and its export market share will reach 13%, which will continue to improve compared with the previous year.

Second, emerging trade formats have injected new vitality into foreign trade. Since 2015, China’s emerging trade formats have thrived, and the state has launched a series of new measures to promote the rapid development of emerging trade formats such as cross-border e-commerce and market procurement. For example, since the pilot, by the end of November 2015, seven pilot cities, including Shanghai, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Zhengzhou, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, had launched cross-border electronic commerce’s retail import business, and inspected and released 100 million packages with a value exceeding 15.5 billion yuan.

Third, excellent entry and excellent exit have achieved new results. In 2015, the trade mode, trade subject, commodity structure, market diversification, terms of trade and contribution to economic and social development also showed a trend of continuous optimization. For example, the proportion of general trade exports and the proportion of private enterprises’ imports and exports have all increased; Mobile phone exports increased by 8.8%, medical instruments and instruments exports increased by 7.2%, and exports to emerging markets such as ASEAN, India, Latin America and Africa increased by 1.1 percentage points; On the import side, more attention is paid to the import of advanced technology, key equipment and important spare parts. In 2015, the import of high-tech products in China increased by 0.7%, accounting for 32.6% of the total import value, up by 4.5 percentage points.

As for this year’s expectations, we have also noticed that the media are concerned about this year’s foreign trade growth target. I don’t know the specific situation at present, and I suggest you learn from relevant departments. Thank you.

China Net reporter:
Excuse me, Director Huang, we have noticed that in 2015, China’s trade with the EU and Japan declined to a great extent, while its trade with emerging markets such as ASEAN and India increased significantly. How do you interpret these changes? At the same time, in the face of the difficulties in the foreign trade situation this year, what measures do you think our customs will take this year to promote the convenience of the business environment? Thank you.

Huang Yuping:
Just now, we introduced that the import and export of emerging markets, such as ASEAN, have only slightly declined, and the situation is still relatively good. For India, we are growing. At present, the economic situation of emerging market countries is relatively good and the political situation is relatively stable, which has promoted the trade development between China and these emerging markets. In particular, emerging markets have gradually become an important direction for China’s exports.

This year, the customs has also introduced a number of policies and measures to support the development of foreign trade. For example, in terms of customs clearance reform, we have introduced customs clearance integration reform; In terms of reducing the cost of enterprises and facilitating customs clearance, we have also introduced some policies to improve the timeliness of customs clearance and reduce the export cost of enterprises. In addition, we have some measures to simplify administration and decentralize power, which have also been introduced in succession, mainly promoting the cancellation and decentralization of customs administrative examination and approval, and implementing the new requirements of standardized examination and approval in the State Council, establishing a new mechanism for standardized management of administrative examination and approval, comprehensively cleaning up matters involving intermediary services and optimizing internal merger matters, and actively exerting self-pressure. In addition, it also actively promotes some successful experiences of Shanghai Free Trade Zone. All these measures will promote the development of foreign trade. Thank you.

Nigerian national television reporter:
How do you predict the changes in China-Africa trade this year? Including imports and exports, if so, what are the reasons?

Huang Yuping:
As I said just now, the international economic and trade situation this year is still severe and complicated. I think the development of China-Africa trade can not be separated from this general environment. Whether the bilateral trade between China and Africa is developing in a good direction or in a more severe situation depends on the specific situation in the future. We will pay close attention to the development of China-Africa trade, actively create a good customs clearance environment and convenient conditions for China-Africa trade, and also support our enterprises to "go global" and develop good economic and trade relations with Africa. Thank you.

Hu Kaihong:
Today’s press conference is over. Thank you, Director Huang, and thank you all.

　　BEIJING, June 15 (Xinhua) According to South Korea’s "East Asia Daily" report, the investigation on the shipwreck of the South Korean "Shiyue" passenger ship is still in progress. 14th, responsible for investigating "‘ The special inspection team of Shiyue, who was puzzled by the falsification of evidence at the time of the tragedy, seized and searched the server of the comprehensive digital evidence management system of the Grand Prosecutor’s Office, which kept CCTV image data on the day of the tragedy.

　　According to reports, on the same day, Li Xianzhu’s special inspection team dispatched investigators to the Grand Prosecutor’s Office in Seocho District, Seoul, and mastered the investigation teams related to the "Shiyue" incident such as Gwangju District Prosecutor’s Office and Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office in 2014. Closed-circuit television images and investigation records collected inside and outside the ship at that time.

　　The special inspection team published a report on the same day, saying: "More than 800 records and 40TB electronic intelligence materials have been obtained from the Special Investigation Committee on Social Tragedy (referred to as the Social Tragedy Committee), and more than 30 boxes of documents and 100TB video have been ensured through the seizure and search of the navy and the marine police, which are being analyzed."

　　According to the report, the special inspection team also investigated the suspicion that the CCTV image data was forged on the day of the sinking of the Shiyue and the video recording device (DVR) that stored the data was replaced before being submitted to the prosecution.

　　The special inspection team has entrusted the National Institute of Scientific Investigation to identify four materials, such as the original DVR hard disk, recovery data, video containing DVR recovery scenes, and video inside the hull of Shiyue. According to the special inspection, 11 people, including the relevant persons of the Social Welfare Committee, have been summoned as witnesses for investigation.

　　The report pointed out that the special inspection team must end the investigation before July 11, and then decide whether to prosecute. If necessary, the special inspection can be approved by the President to extend the investigation period by 30 days.

　　According to previous reports, on April 16, 2014, the "Shiyue" passenger ship carrying 476 people accidentally entered the water and sank in the waters north of Pingfeng Island, Jindo County, Jeollanam-do, South Korea, and the 300-year-old was killed or missing. After the tragedy, the South Korean government promised to rectify and set April 16th as "National Security Day" every year.

　　At the same time, since the "crony intervention" incident broke out, there have been allegations that former South Korean President park geun-hye left his post without directing rescue within seven hours after the shipwreck, and the former chief secretary of Cheongwadae’s civil affairs intervened in the prosecution’s investigation of the "Shiyue" shipwreck and obstructed the search, which cast more shadows on this tragedy. Poor response after the accident was also written in the impeachment bill against park geun-hye.

　　According to the facts, nature and circumstances of the crime committed by the defendant Gao Chengyong and the degree of harm to society, the court of first instance sentenced the defendant Gao Chengyong to robbery, sentenced him to death, deprived him of his political rights for life and confiscated all his personal property. Guilty of intentional homicide, sentenced to death and deprived of political rights for life; He was convicted of rape and sentenced to 10 years in prison and deprived of political rights for three years; He was convicted of insulting the corpse and sentenced to three years in prison; Decided to execute the death penalty, deprived of political rights for life, and confiscated all personal property.

　　The murderer killed 11 people in 14 years, and the police pursued him for 28 years.

　　From May 1988 to February 2002, for the purpose of seeking money, raping women and satisfying abnormal psychology, the defendant Gao Chengyong committed crimes of intentional homicide, rape, robbery and insulting corpses in Baiyin City, Gansu Province and Baotou City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, resulting in 11 female victims’ deaths (10 in Baiyin District, Baiyin City, Gansu Province and 1 in Kundulun District, Baotou City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region).

　　So how did the police find the suspect Gao Chengyong? According to the police investigation, from the first case in 1988 to the last case in 2002, the suspect never seemed to hide his traces, and the task force also extracted the suspect’s fingerprints, footprints, biological traces and other evidence. Due to the limited conditions at that time, all fingerprints could only be identified manually. These exhibits failed to help the police find clues about the suspect in the vast sea of people.

　　In 2011, Baiyin established a DNA laboratory with the support of the Ministry of Public Security and Gansu Provincial Public Security Department, and gradually developed DNA-Y chromosome technology. This also provides a new means of solving crimes for the task force. With the help of new technology, 28 years later, on August 26th, 2016, Gao Chengyong was arrested by the police in a grocery store in Baiyin, and confessed to the crime of killing 11 women.

　　On July 18th, 2017, the Baiyin Intermediate People’s Court of Gansu held a closed hearing on Gao Chengyong’s case. The prosecution accused Gao Chengyong of four counts, including intentional homicide, rape, robbery and insulting the corpse.

Xiaomi car will be given a Beijing license if you buy it? The company has not responded yet.

According to Sina Technology, today, an employee of Xiaomi, who is close to Lei Jun, revealed that "Lei Jun is making a big move. The first car owners who buy Xiaomi cars may give them licenses if they don’t have a Beijing license." In this regard, I asked Xiaomi Group for verification, and Xiaomi did not respond as of press time. In first-tier cities such as Beijing, it is almost impossible to buy a car and send a license. This is because the Beijing municipal government has strictly managed the license plates in order to control traffic congestion and automobile exhaust emissions. Generally speaking, after buying a new car, you need to get the license plate by lottery or auction. Of course, car owners can also get license plates by paying for them. Some insiders said, "If the profit margin reserved by Xiaomi Automobile for dealers is large enough, it is not excluded that some dealers will consider marketing promotion by buying a car and sending a license. In non-first-line areas where license plate resources are not scarce, the feasibility of buying a car to send a license plate may be greater. "

　　CCTV News:The Outline of the National Water Network Construction Plan was released on May 25th, proposing to strengthen the connection and interconnection between the national backbone network and the provincial water network, do a good job in the planning and construction of the provincial water network, and give full play to the overall benefits of the water network project. In August, 2022, the Ministry of Water Resources identified seven provinces and regions, namely Guangdong, Zhejiang, Shandong, Jiangxi, Hubei, Liaoning and Guangxi, as the first batch of provincial-level water network pilot areas in China. In the past year, what has been the effect of the construction of the pilot area?

　　Yantai is a typical coastal water-deficient city in the north. Due to the lack of impoundment projects in surrounding rivers, nearly 200 million cubic meters of natural water has flowed into the sea in vain for many years. In October, 2020, the construction of Laolan Reservoir began. The reservoir is mainly used for water supply and flood control, taking into account irrigation and ecological environment water.

　　In January, 2022, Shandong Province took the lead in issuing and implementing "Shandong Modern Water Network Construction Plan", and at the same time accelerated the implementation of investment and construction.

　　Weave a modern water network covering Shandong Province

　　Shandong is the only national provincial water network pilot area in the Yellow River Basin. What kind of modern water network will be woven here?

　　Recently, the reporter went to the Jinjiayan Water Control Project of Xiaoqing River in Zibo. At present, the project construction has entered the final stage.

　　In 2022, the comprehensive management of Xiaoqing River was brought into the planning of Shandong modern water network and became one of the important backbone projects of Shandong modern water network.

　　The planning of Shandong Province will take 3 years from 2023 — In five years, the main skeleton and aorta of modern water network covering the whole province have basically formed. Up to now, 16 cities in Shandong Province have all completed the preparation of municipal modern water network planning, and 104 of 136 counties have completed the preparation of county-level modern water network planning.

　　Water net plate, living water resources, sufficient water, good water use.

　　Shandong is a water-consuming province, but it is also a serious water shortage province. Being located at the lowest reaches of the Yellow River, the annual water division index is simply not enough, and the Yangtze River water should be transferred from the first phase of the East Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project. Where does the water come from to build a modern water network? How to distribute it?

　　Wangyang Pumping Station, which has six pumping units in Weifang City, is the central pumping station for diverting water from the Yangtze River and the Yellow River in Shandong Province to Weifang, Qingdao, Yantai and Weihai. For a long time, the coastal areas of Shandong Province have become the leader of the strong development of Shandong’s export-oriented economy. However, the shortage of water resources and the lack of original water delivery capacity in the region have made the key Wangyang Pumping Station a "bottleneck" project.

　　Affected by natural geography and climatic conditions, the problems of resource water shortage and engineering water shortage in Shandong are very prominent. There are still 23,800 square kilometers of soil erosion in the whole province, and the phenomena of river drying up and groundwater overexploitation exist to varying degrees.

　　At present, the total annual average water consumption in Shandong province is about 22 billion cubic meters, which is far from the demand for high-quality water for economic and social development in Shandong.

"Since 2021, Xiamen’s maritime express to Taiwan has experienced explosive growth" "In 2023, the volume of Xiamen-Taiwan maritime express in the city increased by 2.5 times compared with that in 2022, and increased by more than 10 times compared with that in 2021" "Since the cruise control center was put into use for one year, a total of 735,000 cross-border e-commerce parcels to Taiwan have been completed" …

Recently, on the occasion of the first anniversary of its official use, the Cross-border E-commerce and Maritime Express Supervision Center of the cruise center in Xiamen Free Trade Zone (referred to as the cruise supervision center) released relevant data, showing that the center and the cruise terminal focused on the direction of Taiwan, constantly improved the construction of cross-strait maritime logistics channels, especially through innovation to create a mode of "integration of stations and terminals", and took the lead in realizing the efficient coordination of cross-border e-commerce goods and maritime express shipments from Taiwan.

"Continuously optimize the logistics channel of shipping express mail to Taiwan and improve the cross-strait logistics distribution system." According to the relevant person in charge of the Xiamen Free Trade Zone Management Committee, in recent years, with the strong support of higher-level departments, the Free Trade Zone Management Committee, Xiamen Customs and other departments are committed to "promoting integration through communication", constantly promoting the construction of Xiamen-Taiwan maritime express logistics channels, continuously strengthening the infrastructure layout of freight logistics hubs to Taiwan, and improving the regional logistics distribution system and achieving good results.

Xiamen-Taiwan sea express has the dual advantages of "air timeliness and sea price"

This year marks the 10th anniversary of Xiamen’s approval as the first pilot city for shipping express mail to Taiwan. In the past 10 years, Xiamen’s sea express to Taiwan has attracted all the sea freight forwarders from all over the world to gather in Xiamen with the "air freight aging and sea freight price", which has formed a unique advantage of Xiamen-Taiwan Province logistics channel, covering the whole process from cargo collection, warehousing, customs clearance, trunk line, customs clearance (transit) and dispatch (transshipment).

At present, the "Southbound Passage" of shipping to Taiwan mainly serves the daily consumer goods purchased by Taiwan Province residents (such as shoes and clothing, 3C products, toys, cosmetics, household furniture, etc.) and the industrial and commercial products purchased by small and medium-sized enterprises in Taiwan Province (such as electromechanical and spare parts, etc.), that is, after thousands of small and medium-sized Taiwan Province logistics service providers from all over the world collect goods in the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, Fujian and other places, they concentrate their goods on warehouses for transshipment and packaging, and the goods are transported by trucks to Xiamen for customs declaration, and then go to Taiwan

"Xiamen’s sea express to Taiwan is divided into two trunk lines: the big three links and the small three links, with the small three links as the main one and the big three links as the supplement." According to the staff, at present, Xiamen Port operates 17 to 19 Xiamen-Jinmen "mini three links" express shipping routes every week, and stably operates Xiamen-Taipei, Xiamen-Taichung, Xiamen-Keelung and other "big three links" routes, forming a "big three links+mini three links" complementary express shipping channel to Taiwan. Among them, the "big three links" are mainly the direct ro-ro ship of COSCO Star and the direct container liner of China Airlines Six, and the "small three links" are mainly the transit flights of Xiamen-Jinhua-Taiwan (North), Xiamen-Jinhua-Gaos and Xiamen-Jinhua-Taiwan (Middle).

It is worth mentioning that the "big three links" have a large transportation volume and a short time limit; The voyage of "mini-three links" between Xiamen and Jinmen is carried by boat, with small capacity but abundant ship resources. The Xiamen-Jinmen route can operate every day according to business needs, and the Jinmen route can operate four times a week to Taipei, three times a week to Taichung and six times a week to Kaohsiung. The flexibility and high density of the "mini-three links" and the stability and strong timeliness of the "big three links" form a strong complement, ensuring that Xiamen’s maritime express mail to Taiwan will arrive at night.

"The supervision of shipping express to Taiwan and cross-border e-commerce has also been carried out simultaneously for 10 years." According to the relevant person in charge of the cruise supervision center, in 2014, the Xiamen Maritime Express and Cross-border E-commerce Supervision Center, the predecessor of the center, was established, becoming a pilot supervision platform for maritime express to Taiwan. Since then, the platform has given full play to the advantages of location, industry and shipping on both sides of Xiamen and Taiwan, created a fast and efficient maritime express channel, and connected the development of cross-border e-commerce and commercial express business on both sides of the strait, making a strong contribution to the development of cross-strait economic and trade integration.

The "southbound passage" of sea express can achieve "arrival in the morning and release on the same day" at the earliest.

During the ten years of shipping express to Taiwan, 2021 is a key node. At that time, Xiamen took the lead in opening the "Southbound Passage", and combined with the only local "point-to-point" direct cross-strait COSCO Star route, the cruise terminal formed the "integration of large and small three-way routes".

"With the characteristics of COSCO Star’s point-to-point direct flights+mini-three links, multiple voyages and high density, the full coverage of the cruise terminal to Taipei, Taichung and Kaohsiung has been realized, which has significantly improved Xiamen’s ability and service advantages in shipping express mail to Taiwan." The staff said.

Not only that, since the opening of the "Southbound Passage", the Xiamen Free Trade Zone Management Committee, Xiamen Customs and other departments have jointly introduced various measures to support the development of Xiamen-Taiwan maritime express business, and newly established four supervision places: cruise, Dongdu, Haicang Dongcha and Xicha, and the level of customs clearance facilitation has been continuously improved; Open more than 10 intensive voyages of "Southbound Passage" and mini-three links, and realize the "overnight arrival" of sea express; A number of new warehouses have been set up, goods from the mainland to Taiwan have gathered in Xiamen, and the core trade hub of cross-strait shipping express has been accelerated.

"Since 2021, the level of customs clearance facilitation of Xiamen sea express has been continuously optimized and improved." According to the staff, at present, the five supervision places in Xiamen (the above four newly established supervision places after 2021+the original post office supervision places) can realize the "morning arrival and the same day release" of goods as soon as possible, which greatly facilitates the pursuit of "fast" by sea express, shortens the overall customs clearance time of sea express and realizes the efficient connection with the "big and small three links" flights on the same day.

"Terminal+Wharf+Route" to Promote Xiamen-Taiwan Shipping Express to Become Bigger and Stronger

In recent years, the volume of Xiamen’s maritime express mail to Taiwan has increased explosively, and the advantage of "southbound passage" has been significantly improved, thanks to the commissioning of the cruise supervision center. In April, 2023, Xiamen Maritime Express and Cross-border E-commerce Supervision Center moved to Xiamen Cruise Center Wharf, renamed as Cruise Supervision Center, and passed the inspection by Xiamen Customs, becoming an important place for Xiamen-Jinmen cross-border E-commerce and maritime express cargo supervision and customs clearance.

It is understood that as the largest cross-business supervision place at Xiamen Port, it is also the first cross-business supervision place located in the dock area in Fujian Province and even the whole country. Since its establishment, the cruise supervision center has actively built a smart supervision warehouse by digitalization, continuously improved the software and hardware level, and innovated the logistics channel, which has improved the supervision and logistics efficiency, effectively reduced the logistics cost of Xiamen-Taiwan sea express and enhanced the competitiveness of Xiamen-Taiwan sea express channel.

In terms of hardware, at present, the center has two automatic CT machine assembly lines, "one imported and one exported"; Online automatic sorting equipment to realize automatic circulation, automatic identification and automatic sorting of cross-border e-commerce parcels; On-line electronic purse seine between the supervision center and the wharf to realize seamless circulation of container cabinets between the two supervision areas.

In terms of software, it is the first to realize the innovative operation mode of "field-port integration" of stations and terminals, and share the bayonet and purse seine with cruise terminals, so that e-commerce enterprises, regulatory sites, customs and terminals can achieve efficient cooperation of "entering the port as soon as they enter the warehouse, arriving as soon as they are released, and boarding as soon as they arrive"; Re-customized the development of the terminal information management system, and the cross-border e-commerce package was compressed to 2 hours from entering the supervision center to completing the shipment, which improved the efficiency by 50% compared with the original model.

In order to greatly improve the time limit for customs clearance, the customs of cruise port went deep into upstream and downstream enterprises to investigate and visit, and exchanged views with shipowners, stations, e-commerce, express delivery and other enterprises, actively promoted regulatory innovation and process innovation in view of the pain points and difficulties of the industry, and constantly improved customs clearance service guarantee. According to the characteristics of processing time and ship shift time of sea express goods, customs clearance efficiency was continuously optimized in three core links: bill review, inspection and logistics, so as to realize the "same day arrival, same day release and cross-border e-commerce parcels".

"The original supervision and logistics links such as customs clearance and trailers have been reduced." According to the staff, under the new mode, cross-border e-commerce goods and sea express goods to Taiwan enter the terminal area when they enter the supervision station. The front crane and forklift equipment are used between the station and the terminal to shift the container, and there is no need for the trailer to connect again. At the same time, a virtual electronic bayonet is set up between the station and the wharf, and the seamless connection between the station and the wharf is realized by digital means. In addition, the dock loading crane is located outside the exit release area of the station, and the crane can be directly arranged to load the released goods, which effectively prolongs the customs clearance time and greatly optimizes the shipping efficiency.

"The center will make full use of the advantages of the cruise terminal’s’ big and small three links’ route and the operation advantages of the special terminal for Taiwan, and give full play to the comprehensive service capabilities of the station+terminal+route to promote Xiamen’s maritime express to become bigger and stronger." According to the relevant person in charge of the Cruise Supervision Center, since the center was put into use, the cruise terminal has increasingly acquired the qualifications of berthing points and small-scale trade points, as well as the "one-stop" supervision service capabilities for cross-border e-commerce, fruits and aquatic products, and gradually formed a two-way logistics channel for Taiwan, with cross-border e-commerce as the main export and agricultural and fishery products for Taiwan as the main import, and accelerated the construction into a "freight logistics hub for Taiwan".

"Cross-border e-commerce and sea express have become new formats of Xiamen cruise port. The Free Trade Zone will join hands with relevant departments to continuously expand the’ southbound channel’ and promote the high-quality development of sea express to Taiwan." The relevant person in charge of the Xiamen Free Trade Zone Management Committee said that in 2023, "Express Shipping to Taiwan" was included in the Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Supporting Fujian to Explore a New Road for Cross-Strait Integration and Development and Building a Demonstration Zone for Cross-Strait Integration and Development. In January this year, the work report of Xiamen Municipal Government clearly pointed out that "it is necessary to expand the’ southbound passage’ of express shipping to Taiwan and build a distribution center for express shipping to Xiamen and Taiwan". The FTZ will lead and promote the cruise home port to seize the new opportunity of Fujian to explore cross-strait integration and development, continue to promote the construction of cross-strait logistics chain and supply chain, continuously improve the voyage of "big and small links", promote the Xiamen-Taipei point-to-point sea express direct flight channel, improve the ship class density of "mini links", create two-way commercial flights for "mini links", integrate the two-way supply of "mini links" and improve the operational efficiency of "mini links" routes; It will also give full play to the supply chain operation capability of the cruise home port group, and make use of its advantages of Jinmen warehouse, Xiamen export warehouse, supervision station, wharf and Taiwan Province route node to accelerate the construction of a logistics artery linking Xiamen and Taiwan and radiating the whole world, and promote cross-strait economic and trade integration and development.

Under the national policy of energy conservation and emission reduction, and the purchase tax of small-displacement engines of 1.6L or less is halved, both powerful imported or joint-venture car brands and gradually developed domestic car brands have turned their attention to "golden displacement" such as 1.5L and 1.6L..

With the increasingly fierce competition, major manufacturers have shown their trump cards and created a large number of excellent models. Today, we are going to talk about a new rookie: 1.6l6at.

What does the arrival of the new engine portend?

Yidong, as the main model of Changan sedan series, maintains excellent sales. Super high cost performance, rich configuration, fashionable appearance, comfortable driving experience and all-round safety have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The 1.6L DVVT GDI engine, which declares that power is truth, and the Aisin three-generation 6-speed automatic manual transmission used with this engine will undoubtedly raise the balance of this car to a new level, making Yidong more competitive in the market of compact cars below 100,000. Today, we focus on the power core of this car.

Combination of double swords

This 1.6-liter pure aluminum alloy independently developed by Chang ‘an has variable timing technology of intake and exhaust valves (DVVT) and GDI naturally aspirated engine. Although DVVT technology is used in engines of many domestic independent brands, in-cylinder direct injection is rarely used, because in-cylinder direct injection requires higher engine technology. So how many benefits can such a difficult-to-manufacture engine bring to consumers? Let’s break them down one by one.

First: the difference of injection mode.

The essential difference between in-cylinder direct injection and manifold injection is that the traditional engine injects oil in the intake manifold and then forms mixed gas with air, and finally enters the cylinder. In other words, in the traditional injection mode, gasoline is more likely to flow into the cylinder for combustion. In-cylinder direct injection is to directly inject fuel into the cylinder with a high-pressure nozzle and mix it with air directly, so that the oil will start to burn when it is sprayed out.

▲ In-cylinder direct injection is more uniform, with better atomization effect, stronger power and more fuel saving.

Second: the power is stronger.

As mentioned before, in the traditional injection mode, some gasoline flows into the cylinder, while in-cylinder direct injection, gasoline is directly atomized and burned in the cylinder. The understanding of the image is like when the power of two identical speedboats is fully open, one of them only puts the propeller half in the water, and the power cannot be fully exerted.

From the data point of view, it has the maximum power of 94KW (the maximum power output range is expanded from the ordinary 6000rpm to 5700-6200rpm) and the maximum torque of 168 N m. However, other domestic brands of 1.6L naturally aspirated engines are mostly 85-90KW, so no one can shake their position in China.

Maybe someone asked, what’s the difference between 90KW and 94KW? I don’t feel anything at all. Under normal circumstances, I can’t feel much difference.The low-speed power of this GDI engine is 10%-15% higher than that of the old engine, and the maximum power output can reach 80% at 1500rpm. Therefore, this engine, when you use air conditioning in summer and when going uphill, will not need a big foot throttle to start and speed up because of its small displacement and weak power. Step on the gas pedal lightly and go out easily.

Third: the fuel consumption is lower.

Traditional fuel injection will form a large number of carbon deposits in the cylinder, and more fuel will be attached to the surface of carbon deposits, which will make the fuel combustion more incomplete, forming a vicious circle and increasing fuel consumption.

Moreover, because of the technology of accurate combustion in the cylinder, the fuel can be fully burned, which greatly reduces the formation of carbon deposit.Can reduce fuel consumption by 5%. 7.2 liters and 6.8 liters per 100 kilometers, don’t underestimate the difference of 0.4 liters. For a 52-liter fuel tank, a box of oil can run more than 40 kilometers, and the fuel economy can be imagined.

Fourth: more durable.

This engine adopts all-aluminum cylinder head and cylinder block, which has better heat dissipation effect. Advanced material technology and manufacturing technology make engine parts more wear-resistant, and the direct injection method also reduces the generation of carbon deposits in the cylinder. The maintenance cost of the engine is reduced and the owner’s money and time are saved.

Fifth: A good horse with a good saddle.

Any powerful engine needs a good gearbox that "understands" it and complements it so that its power can be accurately expressed.

Let’s learn how to distinguish the "good or bad" of a gearbox first. A gearbox needs only four conditions to be "good": fuel-saving, smooth, reliable and silent. As for "bad" ….. big impact, slow response, no gear shift, high fuel consumption, loud noise, high speed and so on.

And this Aisin three-generation 6AT has good internal lubrication effect, low resistance and more fuel economy. Good shift logic, faster speed, smoother speed change, less impact and more comfortable driving. Good heat dissipation effect, high technology of parts, good coordination between parts, more durable, more reliable and more silent gearbox.

▲ Excellent design of Aisin 3rd generation 6AT gearbox.

The combination of Aisin 6AT gearbox and GDI engine in Chang ‘an will give full play to the power. With Changan’s chassis carefully adjusted for Yidong, it will definitely make driving more exciting.

What are you fighting for?

Yidong, as a family compact car, is economical and practical. With the progress of science and technology, cars are also changing with each passing day. In the increasingly fierce competition in the auto market, in order to attract customers, more luxurious designs, safety facilities and smart devices are embedded in cars. People can feel the comfort and convenience of driving.

However, some people forget the fundamentals of the car: engine, gearbox and chassis. Put more energy into the design of modeling and interior. The cost of the car is indeed limited, and the mold used for shaping and the materials used for the interior will inevitably reduce the research and development expenses of the engine, gearbox and chassis. Therefore, the chassis developed in reverse, with old engine gearbox, fashionable coat and exquisite interior, has become the best choice.

This time, the new Yidong is equipped with 6AT, a gearbox that many luxury models are equipped with, and advanced GDI in-cylinder direct injection technology is also used. This "leapfrog" configuration is really extravagant.

Of course, manufacturers have to pay a considerable price for doing so.

The high R&D cost and manufacturing cost of GDI engine, as well as the cost of Aisin gearbox, make this car with less than 100,000 yuan, and the profit is thin. In addition, the market competition in this area is fierce, and there is a slight mistake. It must be a loss of wife and a loss of soldiers.

Why did Chang ‘an "go its own way" and let Yi use such a "cross-level" configuration? This is an insistence, no matter how difficult it is, we should think of consumers. Let consumers use a car that not only has a glamorous appearance, but also has a "connotation", which is not only comfortable to drive, but also more economical.

From the manufacturer’s point of view, the development of a brand must have its own core technology and independent sustainable research and development ability, so that the products can continue to improve and have better quality. Yidong, which was launched in 2012, has been with consumers for more than 4 years, and its reputation is getting better and better, with more and more recognition.

Throughout the world, Dave, not to mention the familiar series. They are all models passed down after decades of ups and downs. They didn’t cut quality because of the financial crisis, and they didn’t stop production because of poor market sales.

The more you face the difficulties, the more you can be recognized by the market and consumers. The new escape sends such a signal: surging power is truth, and fuel saving and environmental protection is justice. This is also Chang ‘an’s determination to face market competition and the motivation to build good cars for consumers.
