Tesla’s heat pump air conditioner lost to the winter in Canada?

How is your pure electric car experience in the cold winter?

The discount on battery life may not be the worst thing. Recently, more than a dozen Tesla owners in Canada have reported that even the air conditioner can’t be used in winter. Not only is the car frozen at a discount, but people are also frozen with a snot and tears.

Moreover, the basic things that can’t be heated in winter are heat pump air conditioners.

This is very strange. The high-efficiency and energy-saving advantages of heat pump air conditioners have not been brought into play, but they cannot be heated, which has attracted the doubts of some Canadian car owners and attracted the attention of Tesla’s R&D team. Musk said that this is a high priority for Tesla.

But even weirder, Musk said that the failure of heat pump air conditioner turned out to be a software problem, which can be completed by firmware update. Perhaps many people have never heard of it, and air conditioners still need OTA. However, after understanding the structure and working principle of Tesla heat pump air conditioner, we can find that this set of hardware can realize 12 different functions, and all the functions are controlled by software.

Therefore, the problem of Tesla heat pump air conditioning may really be a software problem.

So, how amazing is Tesla’s heat pump air conditioner? Why can’t refrigeration occur under extremely cold conditions? Can the industry solve this problem? After reading the patent of Tesla heat pump air conditioner and having a conversation with the Weiling engineer of Midea, the car found the answer to the question.

This month, countries in the northern hemisphere ushered in the coldest time since winter, and electric vehicles also entered the worst stage of the year.

Recently, Tesla owners in Canada reported that they were driving in an extremely cold environment and the heat pump air conditioner could not be used.

Twitter user @TSelvig said that when traveling that day, the temperature had dropped to-40 C. In this extremely cold weather, when he was driving Tesla Model Y, the heat pump air conditioner could not be used. After trying to restart the vehicle and call Tesla customer service, this problem still cannot be solved, and the owner is a few hours’ drive from the nearest service center, so it is impossible to drive without air conditioning.

In the end, the family switched to a fuel car.

Another Model Y owner @paateach has a richer experience. His Model Y has no warm air for two consecutive winters.

He tweeted that he lived in Saskatchewan, southern Canada, and in February last year, he encountered the situation that the heat pump air conditioner could not be used, and there was no warm air for a whole month. Later, Tesla replaced a group of super manifolds for him, and the heat pump air conditioner could be used at that time. However, by this winter, when the temperature dropped to -30℃, he once again encountered the situation that the heat pump air conditioner could not be used.

At that time, he photographed the prompt on the car screen: the cockpit climate control system needs maintenance, and the heating and cooling systems will be restricted or unusable.

Two car owners questioned Tesla: Why did Tesla’s heat pump air conditioner fail in extremely cold weather? Tesla has been repaired several times, why is the maintenance plan still invalid?

Some car owners even said that after this winter, they hope to sell their Tesla in exchange for a fuel car, at least there will be no air conditioning and heating failure.

Angie Dean, chairman of Tesla Owner’s Club in Alberta, Canada, said: "In Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada, more than a dozen Tesla owners have experienced the problem that heat pump air conditioners cannot be used."

Just last week, the owner community Drive Tesla Canada tweeted @ Musk, asking him to comment on the heat pump problem. Musk replied to the tweet within 5 minutes, saying that maintaining the heat pump air conditioner has a very high priority. After 40 minutes, Musk said that the new firmware of heat pump air conditioner has been introduced to users.

It is quite curious that why the failure of heat pump air conditioner can be repaired by firmware update? In addition, after the firmware update is completed, there is still feedback from the owner that heating cannot be done. Is the firmware update useful?

In a patent document published by Tesla in 2019, the structure and operation mode of the heat pump air conditioning system were demonstrated. At the beginning of 2020, with the mass production of Model Y, this patent was also transformed into the mass production application of Tesla.

If you open the front case of Tesla, you can see the heat pump air conditioner and many pipes and harnesses. In fact, this is just the tip of the iceberg of the heat pump system. From the patent drawing, Tesla’s heat pump air conditioner has 11 main components, and is responsible for the thermal cycle of the whole vehicle, which can lead to different parts of the vehicle such as cockpit, battery pack and motor.

These main components are compressor, cabin condenser, cabin evaporator, battery system cooling device, cabin blower, motor liquid-cooled condenser, storage battery, three-way compressor air outlet, low-voltage electric cabin heater (PTC), recirculating air conditioner and heating.

Among the 11 main components, Tesla did not directly cancel the traditional PTC heating, but still equipped with a low-voltage PTC heating. However, due to the lack of power, this PTC heating device can not directly heat the cabin, but provides auxiliary heating when the heat pump system is insufficient.

Surprisingly, Tesla’s hardware can realize 12 different working modes, which are completed by different software scheduling.

Among these 12 working modes, there are only three modes in which heat pump participates. Heat pump participation in heating can be divided into pure heat pump mode and mixed heating mode. When the heat pump efficiency is high, the pure heat pump mode is activated, and when the efficiency is low, the mixed heating mode is activated. The heat pump can be mixed with PTC heating and can also be added to the evaporator for heating together.

In addition, the cabin and battery system can be heated simply by using the compressor and evaporator. In addition, the in-vehicle thermal circulation system can also realize the functions of cabin defogging, defrosting, dehumidification and so on.

A conclusion can be drawn here: it is indeed feasible to fix the problem of heat pump air conditioning through firmware update.

When there is nothing wrong with the hardware of the heat pump air conditioning system, the adjustment of the heat pump air conditioning system can be realized by adjusting the software scheduling in different environments.

As far as the heat pump system is concerned, there is a strong relationship between the efficiency of heating the cabin and the efficiency of the heat pump. Because the working principle of heat pump air conditioning is to exchange heat energy inside and outside the car.

Through the evaporator, the refrigerant can absorb heat from the external environment, and after the refrigerant in the car is liquefied, it releases heat, so that it can heat the cabin.

However, if the temperature of the external environment is lower, it is more difficult for the refrigerant to obtain heat from the external environment, which leads to the low heating efficiency of heat pump air conditioning in extremely cold environment.

Tesla also knows this obvious problem, so it adds auxiliary heating devices in addition to heat pump air conditioning.

Tesla drew a chart in the patent, which can explain the efficiency of heat pump air conditioning at different temperatures. The efficiency coefficient of heat pump air conditioning is expressed by COP(Coefficient of Performance). When COP=1, it means that the consumed electric energy is equal to the generated heat energy. When COP>1, the heat pump air conditioner is in the high efficiency area, which means that it can get more heat energy by consuming less electric energy.

As can be seen from Tesla’s chart, when the ambient temperature and battery temperature are lower than -20℃ at the same time, the efficiency of heat pump air conditioning will be very low, which is also considered as extremely cold temperature by Tesla, and there is no solution below this temperature. But at this time, just heat the battery, the COP value will increase, and the heating system can be used normally.

When COP=1, the heat pump air conditioner does not work and relies on evaporation to achieve heating. When COP≥1, the heat pump air conditioner will participate in heating, and the temperature needs to be above -10℃.

The second conclusion can be drawn here: if the weather outside is extremely cold, even if the firmware of the heat pump air conditioner is updated, the heating effect will still be poor. The solution is to heat the battery, or preheat it before going out.

However, under the tweet that Musk replied to the updated firmware, there are still many users who feedback that the vehicle still cannot heat.

Then, there is probably a hardware problem.

Tesla owner @paateach said on Twitter that his Tesla Model Y has been replaced with two super manifolds, including the sensor of heat pump air conditioner, expansion valve and refrigerant pipeline. The heating system can be used temporarily, but I am very worried that it may be damaged again.

Twitter user Tesla owner revealed the research and development story of heat pump air conditioner online. Recently, Tesla’s engineers in California and Alaska are testing heat pump air conditioners. The test results show that Tesla’s heat pump air conditioners can work normally below -30℃ because the heat pump air conditioners have two refrigerant cycles.

At the same time, engineers also found the problem: in extremely cold weather, the cover plate of the front air inlet will be frozen and damaged, which will lead to the inhalation of cold air during driving. Because the cold air temperature is too low, the sensor will report an error to the system after sensing it. At this time, the compressor will stop working and the heating will stop.

In order to solve this problem quickly, Tesla may start the compressor by software, temporarily avoiding the heating failure in extremely cold weather. But to solve this problem completely, Tesla may need to update some hardware later.

For the automotive industry, heat pump air conditioning is still a new thing, and Tesla Model Y was mass-produced in early 2020. Prior to this, pure electric vehicles generally used PTC to heat the interior of the car. But even under ideal conditions, the COP of PTC is 1. Low efficiency leads to very large electricity consumption for PTC heating, which further becomes a major factor affecting the battery life of electric vehicles in winter.

The efficient performance of heat pump air conditioning has attracted the attention of electric vehicle companies. In 2021, all new pure electric vehicles were basically upgraded from PTC heating to heat pump air conditioning. However, due to the limitation of refrigerant, when the temperature is below -10℃, the efficiency of heat pump will be greatly reduced. At this time, it is necessary to rely on PTC heating to heat vehicles.

For example, Tucki P5 is equipped with a heat pump air conditioner to achieve efficient heating, but it is also equipped with PTC. When the temperature is lower than -10℃, the vehicle will start PTC heating to heat the interior.

It can be said that Tucki P5 has solved the shortcomings of heat pump air conditioning to some extent, but it has not been completely solved.

Weiling, another new auto parts manufacturer, has solved the heating problem in extremely cold weather. Speaking of Weiling, maybe many friends in the automobile circle are no strangers. Weiling is a subsidiary of Midea Group, a domestic appliance head enterprise.

Last year, several auto parts announced by Weiling included automotive heat pump air conditioners.

At present, R134a(CH2FCF3, tetrafluoroethane) is usually used as the refrigerant for heat pump air conditioning, but when the outside temperature is low, the heating capacity is obviously attenuated. Therefore, there are explorations of mixed refrigerants in the industry, but the performance cannot be significantly improved.

The engineers of Weiling parts found another way, using carbon dioxide as refrigerant, and the heating efficiency was obviously improved at extremely cold temperatures.

Weiling’s rotary CO2 electric compressor can achieve a heating efficiency of COP=2 at -30℃. At the same time, the noise is low during operation and the overall design is lighter.

Engineer Weiling introduced that in extremely cold weather, users don’t need to "cover the quilt" to drive. At the same time, compared with traditional heat pump air conditioners, the heat pump with carbon dioxide as refrigerant can increase the cruising range of vehicles by up to 20%.

The CO2 electric compressor alone has 220 domestic invention patents and 14 international invention patents, and has completely independent intellectual property rights. At the same time, CO2, as a common greenhouse gas, is collected and used as a refrigerant, which also contributes to "carbon neutrality".

Last year, the heat pump air conditioning products of Midea Group Weiling components have been installed on pure electric brand vehicles such as Tucki and Weilai, which has become a microcosm of the rapid transformation of domestic component enterprises to electrification.

In 2020, Tesla put the heat pump air conditioner into a pure electric vehicle, which led the electric vehicle industry to take another step towards high efficiency. In just one year, by 2021, heat pump air conditioning has become the standard of high-end electric vehicles.

Obviously, the technology that will not be used in the era of fuel vehicles may be a huge innovation in the era of electric vehicles. In today’s increasingly fierce global competition for electric vehicles, there is still huge room for innovation in the field of electric vehicles.

Some "social fear" may really be a disease.

     ◎ Intern reporter Zhou Sitong

  A few days ago, Vestazine Company of the United States published in the official website that the drug PH94B developed by the company for "social phobia" reached the standard in the third phase of clinical trials. The researchers of the company said that they had tailored the treatment plan for some patients based on PH94B, and observed the overall reduction and improvement of patients’ social anxiety symptoms. The release of this news has aroused widespread concern of "social terrorists" everywhere.

  At present, "social fear" has become a popular word. Many young people label themselves as "social phobia" to express their discomfort in social situations. So, is "social fear" really a disease? Do you need medication? With these questions, the reporter of Science and Technology Daily interviewed relevant experts.

  Some pathological "social phobia" is also influenced by genetic factors.

  "Many times, what people call ‘ Social fear ’ It is not necessarily a real disease, but more of a psychological state. " Meng Fanqiang, deputy chief physician of Beijing Anding Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, said that, for example, it is common to feel nervous in certain scenes, and it is not a pathological "social phobia". The dividing line between "normal" and "disease" lies in the severity of symptoms and the influence of symptoms on life, work and study.

  When a person’s social anxiety symptoms make it impossible for him to carry out social activities normally, such as avoiding social places a lot, making him nervous at the thought of social scenes, and even fearing to meet others, etc., and similar symptoms last for more than 6 months, there may be pathological "social phobia".

  Social phobia in medical sense, also known as social anxiety disorder, is a mental disease. Its main feature is persistent fear of social situations or behaviors that may induce social interaction. Once faced with this situation, patients will have anxious physiological reactions. Although many patients are aware of this situation, because this physiological reaction is not controlled by patients, many patients will still try their best to avoid relevant social occasions, and some patients will even completely isolate themselves from society.

  Meng Fanqiang introduced that there are generally two causes of social anxiety disorder: the first is biological genetic factors, and more than 30% of patients with social anxiety disorder are affected by genetic factors; The second is the social and psychological factors, such as the bad growth environment in adolescence and repeated failures in social situations, which will distort people’s cognition of social behavior and thus produce persistent negative thinking.

  There are these reference standards for judging social anxiety disorder.

  Although the word "social phobia" has been widely known, in real life, people often can’t accurately judge their social psychological status, and often overestimate or underestimate their mental health. So, as an ordinary person, how can we judge whether we have social anxiety disorder?

  To solve this problem, lei fu, a national second-level psychological counselor and expert in mental health service for Qingdao Federation of Trade Unions, gave three criteria: whether the mood is too tense, whether there is abnormal behavior and whether there is obvious social function damage. Patients with social anxiety disorder are afraid of socializing for a long time, lasting for more than half a year; In the social environment, it is easy to be overly anxious and worried, and there will be symptoms such as trembling, stuttering, sweating, frequent urination and diarrhea; Try to avoid most social occasions, which obviously affects normal life and leads to the inability to complete study or work tasks. When these three kinds of obvious symptoms appear, it means that people may suffer from social anxiety disorder and need the help of professional doctors.

  "Because patients with social anxiety disorder lack normal interpersonal communication and the social network is weak, it is very difficult to fight the disease on their own. Therefore, after a preliminary assessment of their own state, patients need to go to the psychiatric department to ask a doctor for diagnosis. After the diagnosis of the disease, targeted treatment will be launched. " Lei fu said.

  Meng Fanqiang introduced that when the patient’s condition is serious, medication will be used clinically. Under the guidance of professional doctors, patients with severe social anxiety disorder can choose to take some anti-anxiety drugs. For patients with more serious symptoms and often in a state of anxiety, some anti-anxiety drugs that can be taken continuously will be used clinically. For patients with mild symptoms, you can take some short-acting drugs half an hour or an hour before starting social behavior to relieve anxiety.

  Rely on psychotherapy to get rid of social fear

  Although drug therapy can produce results quickly and obviously, it can not be ignored that improper use of drugs may produce side effects or dependence, which will cause further damage to patients. Therefore, for most patients with social anxiety disorder, besides drug therapy, psychological therapy is more considered in clinic.

  Lei fu told reporters that there are many psychotherapy methods for patients with social anxiety disorder, such as meditation and desensitization training, and the most mainstream method is cognitive behavioral therapy. Lei fu said that the biggest feature of patients with social anxiety disorder is excessive and unreasonable fear of social situations. Therefore, the focus of treatment is to eliminate this excessive and unreasonable fear.

  "For example, because a patient made a mistake in a social situation, he felt in trouble and thought that others would definitely have a negative evaluation of himself. Then in psychological intervention, we let him look for a ‘ Exception ’ For example, has he ever heard or seen someone else have a similar situation, but this person did not get a serious negative evaluation in the end. " Lei fu said that in general, patients will find that this situation is common in daily life. Under this guidance, patients will know that there are exceptions to everything, and their own unreasonable cognition will be gradually deconstructed. Once this cognition is deconstructed, the degree of catastrophic feeling produced by patients will be reduced.

  Zheng Shiyan, the former consultant of the Psychological Counseling Center of East China Normal University and the consultant of Hefei Shanyuan Psychological Counseling Center, said: "For social anxiety disorder, we naturally have to pay attention to it. But how to face and solve this problem still lies in the cognition of the parties and society about this psychological state. " He said that there are many factors that may lead to social anxiety disorder in today’s society, such as not being fully loved and not being fully accepted in childhood, which will make people feel that they are flawed and unworthy of being loved, and thus fear being criticized and denied. Therefore, in addition to turning to professionals, what patients with social anxiety disorder need to do is to take courage and be brave.

  Online social interaction can’t replace real social interaction.

  Nowadays, more and more young people prefer to socialize online through online social media or online communities, and even many offline "social fear" young people have become very active online, with obvious contrast. So, can cyberspace really make people get rid of "social fear"?

  In this regard, Professor Yuan Hongmei, director of the Mental Health Education Research Center of the Student Affairs Department of Central South University of Forestry and Technology, once pointed out that online socialization is an extension and supplement of real socialization and cannot completely replace real socialization. Deliberately avoiding real social interaction is not conducive to physical and mental health.

  If you want to overcome "social fear", you should also communicate and interact with others in reality. People who are "socially fearful" can invite more friends to go to the movies, take part in outings, or just get together with others to chat, try to enjoy real life and feel the pleasure brought by real social interaction. Giving yourself positive psychological hints and bravely taking the first step are the key to getting rid of "social fear".

Promoting steady growth, adjusting structure and preventing risks with reform as the driving force —— Unswervingly accomplishing the objectives and tasks of economic and social development throughout

  Deepening reform in an all-round way is the fundamental driving force for promoting Chinese modernization.

  On July 30th, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader presided over the the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee meeting to analyze and study the current economic situation and work. The meeting stressed: "We should take reform as the driving force to promote steady growth, adjust the structure and prevent risks, give full play to the traction role of economic system reform, and launch a number of mature and sensible reform measures in time."

  "this year is another important year for comprehensively deepening reform." In the face of arduous and complicated reform tasks, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader personally planned, personally deployed and personally promoted the comprehensive deepening of reform work, guided new practices and led new changes with new reform theories, made efforts to enhance the systematicness, integrity and synergy of reform, and made great efforts to make major institutional innovations. The reforms in key areas were carried out at a steady pace, stimulating the endogenous motivation and innovation vitality of the whole society, and providing strong support for the overall stable and steady progress of the national economy.

  The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China built "four beams and eight pillars" to further comprehensively deepen reform and promote Chinese-style modernization, drew a magnificent, clear and concrete blueprint for reform, and released a strong signal of unswervingly holding high the banner of reform and opening up.

  "Reform must be re-planned, and it must be re-implemented." Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, all localities and departments have further deepened reforms in an all-round way around promoting Chinese modernization, intensified macro-control, deepened innovation-driven development, deeply tapped the potential of domestic demand, constantly enhanced new kinetic energy and advantages, enhanced the vitality of business entities, stabilized market expectations, enhanced social confidence, enhanced sustained economic recovery, effectively guaranteed and improved people’s livelihood, maintained social stability, and unswervingly completed the objectives and tasks of economic and social development throughout the year.

  Increase the momentum through reform, persist in striving for progress while maintaining stability, focus on steady growth, and lay a solid foundation for economic development throughout the year.

  Reform is the driving force of development, and development is the purpose of reform.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "To further deepen the reform in an all-round way, we should highlight the problem orientation, focus on solving the problems of blocking points that restrict the construction of a new development pattern and promote high-quality development, the pain points and difficulties in the development environment and people’s livelihood, and the hot issues that are contrary to social fairness and justice, effectively prevent and resolve major risks, and constantly add momentum and vitality to economic and social development."

  Since the beginning of this year, in the face of the complicated and changeable domestic and international situation, all localities and departments have paid attention to the breakthrough and leading role of reform, actively introduced reform measures conducive to stabilizing growth, adjusting structure and preventing risks, and relied on reform to add momentum to development. China’s economy has continued to rebound to a good trend, and high-quality development has taken new steps.

  — — Expand profitable investment and give play to the traction role of reform.

  Machines in the CNC machining center roar, the intelligent production line runs at high speed, the mechanical arm moves up and down, left and right flexibly, and rows of hydraulic components flow off the production line in an orderly way … … After introducing three automatic production lines and updating 900 sets of high-end equipment such as CNC lathes, the production efficiency of Zhongwei Zhuote Hydraulic Technology Co., Ltd., located in Linxi County, Xingtai City, Hebei Province, has increased by 50%.

  In the first half of this year, the tax department of Xingtai City implemented the structural tax reduction and fee reduction policy in detail, so that Zhongwei Zhuote enjoyed the deduction of R&D expenses, the reduction of corporate income tax for high-tech enterprises, plus the deduction of value-added tax and export tax rebate. The tax reduction amount on the tax list is very considerable.

  The more investment, the more tax reduction, the positive pace of transformation and upgrading has been "rewarded" by the tax reform, and enterprises have increased their horsepower. "The tax incentives in the first half of the year were all invested in the research and development of the bent shaft hydraulic pump that is urgently needed in the current market, and an additional 20 million yuan was invested in new equipment to achieve full coverage of high-end CNC equipment this year." Han Shujuan, head of the company, said.

  A list of taxes and fees, recording the strength of reform.

  Comprehensively deepening reforms requires precise efforts. The reform of value-added tax has continued to deepen, the tax refund system has been continuously improved, and the structural tax reduction and fee reduction policy that focuses on supporting scientific and technological innovation and manufacturing development has been accelerated … … The burden reduction policy allows more enterprises to go into battle lightly. In April this year, the "Guidelines on Major Tax and Fee Preferential Policies for Supporting the Development of Manufacturing Industry in China" was issued, which provided a clear list for manufacturing business entities and helped them to better enjoy preferential tax and fee policies.

  Deepen reform in an all-round way and pay attention to system integration. China pays great attention to "hard investment" and "soft construction" as a whole, and combines project construction with supporting reforms. It not only compiles perfect plans, strengthens project management, creates a number of landmark projects, but also optimizes system supply, and breaks deep-seated obstacles with reform methods and innovative measures.

  The deeper the reform, the more attention should be paid to coordination. Focusing on stabilizing expectations, growth and employment, China has strengthened the countercyclical and cross-cyclical adjustment of macro policies, strengthened the coordination of fiscal, monetary, employment, industrial, regional, scientific and technological, environmental protection and other policies, incorporated non-economic policies into the consistency assessment of macro policy orientation, strengthened policy coordination, ensured concerted efforts and formed synergies, fully mobilized the enthusiasm of business entities, stimulated the endogenous motivation of economic development, and formed synergies to jointly promote high-quality development. In the first half of the year, investment in fixed assets increased by 3.9% year-on-year, of which investment in manufacturing increased by 9.5%, which promoted steady growth of investment, structural optimization and improvement of quality and efficiency, laying a solid foundation for steady growth.

  — — Stimulate potential consumption and make good use of the key variable of reform.

  Open and log in to the mobile phone application of Zheli Office, enter the item of "Registration of Self-employed Workers (Flexible Employees)", and click "Online Processing" … … In just 3 minutes, Ms. Wang, a domestic hourly worker working in Dongyang City, Zhejiang Province, completed the insurance procedures for flexible employees.

  A social security bill, recording the temperature of reform.

  Consumption is the "main engine" that drives economic growth. The reform of the social security system has firmly grasped the bottom line of people’s livelihood, making residents more daring to spend and willing to spend. The income distribution system has been further improved, and social security systems for flexible employees, migrant workers and new employment forms have been continuously improved in various localities, and the adjustment mechanism for income redistribution has been strengthened. At the same time, the business environment is constantly optimized to stabilize employment and income by promoting the development of small and medium-sized enterprises and individual and private economies & HELIP; … A series of reform measures have promoted "lowering" and "expanding". In the first half of the year, the per capita disposable income of the national residents actually increased by 5.3%, which was basically in sync with the growth of GDP, and the per capita consumption expenditure actually increased by 6.7%.

  Residents’ income grew steadily and their consumption level continued to improve. In the first half of the year, final consumption expenditure boosted GDP growth by 3.0 percentage points. The long-term mechanism for expanding consumption has been gradually improved, and the basic role of consumption in economic development has been further enhanced.

  Expand consumption to do "addition" and limit consumption to do "subtraction". "No new automobile purchase restriction measures shall be added in all regions, and the automobile purchase restriction measures shall be optimized according to local conditions in the regions where the purchase restriction has been implemented" and "Allow relevant cities to cancel or reduce the housing purchase restriction policy" … … Restrictive measures have been continuously reduced, which has "loosened" residents’ consumption.

  — — Accelerate the cultivation of new kinetic energy of foreign trade and release the development dividend of reform.

  A remanufactured engine, the cost of which is only 60% of that of the new engine, was successfully cleared and transported to Volvo Construction Equipment (China) Co., Ltd. in Pudong New Area, saving 40% of the cost for the enterprise — — China’s first import of remanufactured products landed in Shanghai. Breaking the import restrictions on used and second-hand mobile phones, at present, some pilot free trade zones have relaxed the import of 62 kinds of remanufactured products such as automobile engines, boosting the new trend of green trade.

  A customs declaration, recording the depth of reform.

  Reform should be deepened, and opening up needs to be deepened and broadened. With the relaxation of the import of remanufactured products and a series of new achievements, the first batch of pilot measures for connecting the Pilot Free Trade Zone with international high-standard rules have been fully implemented, which has led to a steady increase in the quality of foreign trade. In the first half of the year, the total import and export value of goods trade increased by 6.1% year-on-year, a record high in the same period of history.

  Market access reform enhances the "magnetic attraction" to foreign investment. The negative list of service trade "goes" to the whole country, completely cancels the restrictions on foreign investment access in the manufacturing sector, and promotes the orderly expansion and opening up of telecommunications, Internet, medical care and other fields … … Market access was further relaxed, allowing more foreign companies to share the dividends of China’s reform and opening up. In the first half of the year, the number of newly established foreign-funded enterprises was nearly 27,000.

  Since the beginning of this year, "taking system construction as the main line", various reforms have strengthened coordination, the construction of a high-standard market system has been steadily advanced, the system and mechanism for market-oriented allocation of factors have been improved, the formation of a unified national market has been accelerated, all kinds of ownership economies have participated in market competition more fairly, and market vitality has flowed fully, laying a solid foundation for achieving the expected goals of economic development throughout the year.

  Deepen reform in an all-round way, with a clear direction and a clear road. "It is necessary to continue to work hard in an all-round way to make the reform measures comprehensively cover the outstanding problems that need to be solved to promote Chinese modernization; We must continue to use real strength in deepening, highlight the focus of the economic system, and strive to break down deep-seated institutional and institutional obstacles and structural contradictions. "

  The Ministry of Finance will speed up the improvement of the budget system and the tax system, and use precious financial funds in the critical areas of development; The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security will improve the labor rights protection system that adapts to flexible employment and new employment forms, and create a fair employment environment; The Ministry of Commerce will improve the high-level opening-up system and mechanism, enlarge the open cake and lengthen the list of cooperation … … In the second half of the year, relying on reform and opening up to enhance the endogenous driving force for development, all localities and departments have made a good list of tasks and launched a number of reform measures that are mature and sensible, giving birth to strong momentum for unswervingly fulfilling the goals and tasks of economic and social development throughout the year.

  Add vitality through reform, persist in promoting stability through progress, vigorously optimize the structure, and shape new development momentum and new advantages.

  The reform trend is strong, and the tide of innovation is even stronger.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "To develop new quality productive forces, we must further deepen reform in an all-round way and form a new type of production relationship that is compatible with it. It is necessary to deepen the reform of the economic system and the scientific and technological system, focus on opening up the blocking points that constrain the development of new quality productive forces, establish a high-standard market system, and innovate the allocation of production factors so that all kinds of advanced and high-quality production factors can flow smoothly to the development of new quality productive forces. "

  The "Decision" of the Third Plenary Session of the Twentieth CPC Central Committee put forward: "Improve the system and mechanism of developing new quality productive forces according to local conditions."

  Since the beginning of this year, all localities and departments have anchored to "develop new quality productivity according to local conditions", accelerated the transformation mode, adjusted the structure, improved quality and increased efficiency, continued to deepen the structural reform on the supply side, accelerated the construction of new production relations that are compatible with new quality productivity, constantly opened up new fields and new tracks for development, constantly shaped and developed new kinetic energy and new advantages, and promoted Chinese modernization with high-quality development.

  — — Strengthen the supply of new fields and new track systems, and enhance the innovation power through economic system reform.

  In Xilihu International Science and Education City, Nanshan District, Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province, the laboratory and production line are very close. Nanshan District has set up a proof-of-concept platform here to help technicians cross the laboratory to the "first mile" of marketization.

  "Proof of concept helps us to transform scientific research results in a small scale first, and improve the success rate of subsequent substantive transformation. The platform provides accurate assistance around the whole chain of proof of concept, pilot-scale ripening and achievement transformation, not only for seed funds, but also for docking resources." Cai Chao, founder of Nanke Hegu Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. said that the platform helped the company to accelerate the industrialization of hydrogen production catalyst technology.

  Focusing on "strengthening the dominant position of scientific and technological innovation of enterprises", all localities and departments have made great efforts to open up the blocking points that constrain enterprise innovation, innovate the allocation methods of production factors, and let all kinds of advanced and high-quality production factors flow smoothly to all kinds of business entities, so that the "tangible hand" of the government and the "invisible hand" of the market can jointly cultivate and drive new quality productivity.

  The Science and Technology Department of Henan Province introduced measures to vigorously cultivate innovative leading enterprises and enhance industry consolidation’s ability; Fujian Province promotes the popularization and application of the first set of technical equipment; Around the three leading industries of integrated circuit, biomedicine and artificial intelligence, Shanghai has set up an industrial investment parent fund with a total scale of 100 billion yuan … … Reform promotes the deep integration of innovation chain’s industrial chain, capital chain and talent chain, and promotes scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation to go hand in hand. In the first half of the year, the added value of China’s high-tech manufacturing industry above designated size increased by 8.7% year-on-year.

  — — Transform the institutional advantage into the competitive advantage of science and technology, and the reform of science and technology system stimulates the vitality of innovation.

  China’s first "ground space station" passed the acceptance test, with a total of seven C919 large passenger planes delivered, the Shenzhen-China channel officially opened for trial operation, and the Chang ‘e-6 realized the sampling return on the back of the moon, successfully building the first international 6G test network integrating communication and intelligence … … Since the beginning of this year, major scientific and technological achievements have emerged one after another, big countries have frequently "upgraded their weapons", and the level of self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology has continued to improve, injecting new kinetic energy into accelerating the development of new quality productive forces. This is inseparable from the support of scientific and technological system reform.

  Improve the new national system, strengthen the construction of national strategic scientific and technological forces, and optimize the positioning and layout; Establish a mechanism for the overall arrangement and use of central financial science and technology funds, "set tasks according to needs and set funds according to tasks", and strengthen the overall layout of science and technology resources; Empower scientific researchers with greater decision-making power of technical route, control of scientific research funds and resource scheduling, and stimulate scientific and technological personnel to innovate and create vitality … … From top-level design to specific measures, the reform of science and technology system has been deepened, removing fences and cultivating soil for scientific and technological innovation. As of June this year, the effective number of domestic invention patents in China reached 4.425 million.

  — — Untie the rope that binds scientific and technological innovation, reform the talent mechanism and build a good innovation ecology.

  The classroom is also a laboratory, which builds a bridge between outstanding students and technical talents.

  This year, Song Junteng, an undergraduate from Shenzhen University of Technology, found his future research direction by participating in the research group of the Institute of Digital Studies, Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences: "The school helps students enter the laboratory, and the integration of production and education, science and education, makes me clearly focus on data."

  More and more colleges and universities cooperate with scientific research institutes to promote the reform of the system and mechanism of educational science and technology talents, so that talents, the first resource, can fully flow in and better transform China’s educational advantages and talent advantages into development advantages and competitive advantages. The trinity of education, science and technology and talents has promoted more outstanding young scientific and technological talents to take the lead. As of March this year, more than 1,100 national key R&D projects have been led by young scientists under the age of 40, which has reached more than 20% of the total.

  The depth of reform is the time when innovation is surging.

  The transformation of traditional industries has accelerated. In Hunan, through the comprehensive application of cutting-edge technologies such as intelligent scheduling, industrial AI, digital twinning and industrial Internet, an excavator can be produced every 6 minutes on average.

  Emerging industries are booming. In Shanghai, drones have increased the efficiency of take-away distribution by 40%, and the low-altitude economy has "taken off" to empower all walks of life.

  Accelerate the layout of industries in the future. In Anhui, the third-generation independent superconducting quantum computer "Benyuanwukong" was launched, and this computer has successfully completed 250,000 global quantum computing tasks.

  … … … …

  Traditional industries live because of "newness" and the economic structure advances because of "newness". Firmly grasping the "bull’s nose" of scientific and technological innovation, opening up a new development track with new quality productivity, enhancing new development momentum, shaping new development advantages, and striving to win the initiative in future development will provide a strong impetus for unswervingly completing the goals and tasks of economic and social development throughout the year.

  Solve problems through reform, coordinate high-quality development and high-level safety, and prevent and resolve various risk challenges.

  Security is the premise of development, and development is the guarantee of security.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out: "Insist on overall planning development and security, insist on paying equal attention to development and security, and realize the benign interaction between high-quality development and high-level security."

  The "Decision" of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee clearly stated: "Deal with the major relations such as economy and society, government and market, efficiency and fairness, vitality and order, development and security".

  The summer grain has been harvested again, and the energy security guarantee ability and the toughness of the industrial chain supply chain have been improved, keeping the bottom line of not having systematic risks … … Since the beginning of this year, all localities and departments have further deepened reforms in an all-round way, and used more perfect systems to prevent and resolve risks and effectively meet challenges.

  — — Secure the "two rice bowls" of grain and energy and build a solid foundation for risk prevention.

  Food security is the biggest thing in the country.

  On March 19th, during the spring ploughing season, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to Xiejiapu Town, Dingcheng District, Changde City, Hunan Province. Dai Hong, a big grain grower, said that the net income of farming last year was more than 550,000 yuan, and the government subsidized more than 70,000 yuan. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader was very happy: "Grain farmers can’t suffer losses, and they have money to earn, so they have the enthusiasm to grow grain."

  On June 11th, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader presided over the fifth meeting of the 20th Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform, which deliberated and adopted important documents to improve the income guarantee mechanism for grain farmers and the interest compensation mechanism for major grain producing areas.

  Cultivated land is the lifeblood of food security. Since the beginning of this year, policies and financial guarantees have been continuously strengthened, and the mechanisms for construction, acceptance and management of high-standard farmland have been continuously improved. In the first quarter of this year, China completed the construction, transformation and upgrading of high-standard farmland area of about 10 million mu, laying a solid foundation for winning the annual grain harvest.

  At the same time, through comprehensively deepening reforms, industrial "food" — — The energy "rice bowl" is also more secure. Since the beginning of this year, the construction of a unified national electricity market system has been accelerated, and more than 60% of the electricity consumption of the whole society has been market-oriented. The oil and gas market system has initially taken shape, and the medium and long-term coal contract system and market price formation mechanism have been continuously improved; The draft energy law has entered the deliberation process of the National People’s Congress, and the revision of the electricity law, coal law and renewable energy law is progressing in an orderly manner … … The dividend of energy reform has been continuously released, inspiring all kinds of business entities to work together to promote high-quality energy development.

  — — Promote the safety of industrial chain supply chain and improve the level of risk response.

  This year, the first prototype of a 300 MW F-class heavy-duty gas turbine independently developed by China rolled off the production line, which has played a significant role in promoting the progress of basic disciplines and industrial technology development of gas turbines in China.

  Core technologies accelerate breakthroughs and help the industrial chain supply chain to be self-controllable. China has continuously improved the new national system, made overall plans to tackle key core technology problems, improved the development system and mechanism of key industrial chains, promoted technological research and application of achievements throughout the chain, and accelerated the development of key industrial chains such as integrated circuits and industrial mother machines.

  Backbone enterprises are constantly emerging, and the supply chain of the traction industry chain is developing and growing. The Law on the Promotion of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises has been revised, the Regulations on the Protection of Payment for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises has been promulgated, the gradient training mechanism for high-quality enterprises has been accelerated, and the golden signboard of "specialization and novelty" has been further polished, making more high-quality enterprises stand out and become the leader in the high-quality development of industrial chain supply chain. By the end of June, China had cultivated more than 140,000 specialized and innovative SMEs.

  — — Properly handle the risks of real estate and local debt, and enhance the ability to resolve risks.

  Since the beginning of this year, policies have been made in the same direction, governance has been coordinated, and positive progress has been made in resolving risks in key areas.

  The work of ensuring people’s livelihood and stability in Baojiaolou continued to advance. Strengthen the supervision of pre-sale funds and establish the coordination mechanism of urban real estate financing … … 297 cities at prefecture level and above have established the coordination mechanism of urban real estate financing, and commercial banks have approved the loan amount of "white list" projects of 1.3 trillion yuan.

  Local debt risks have been further resolved. All localities have continuously improved the long-term mechanism of debt conversion. The People’s Bank of China has instructed financial institutions to rationally use debt restructuring and replacement in accordance with the principles of marketization and rule of law, and make classified measures to resolve the stock debt risks of financing platforms and strictly control incremental debts.

  "Adhere to the concept of system", promote high-level safety with high-quality development, ensure high-quality development with high-level safety, and promote the dynamic balance and complement each other with reform; "Insist on problem orientation", face the risk problems in all fields directly, go ahead with the problems and focus on the problem reform, and enhance the pertinence and effectiveness of the reform … … Firmly grasp the objectives and principles of comprehensively deepening reform, make overall plans for high-quality development and high-level security, achieve new results by solving difficult problems through reform, and promote the stability and long-term development of China’s economic giant.

  "With the accelerated implementation of the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, various policies have been effective, and the foundation for promoting sustained economic recovery will continue to be consolidated and laid solid. We have the conditions, ability, confidence and confidence to overcome the problems in development and the challenges in transformation, and complete the annual goals and tasks with high quality." Zhao Chenxi, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said.

  Hit the water in the middle stream, and those who are eager to advance; When people get halfway up the mountain, only the brave win.

  Guided by the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the New Era, we should further unify our thoughts and actions with the CPC Central Committee’s judgment and decision-making on the economic situation, cherish a good start, continue to take advantage of the situation, firmly grasp the primary task of high-quality development, take comprehensive deepening reform as the fundamental driving force for promoting Chinese modernization, and persist in solving problems in development and coping with risks and challenges on the way forward through reform and opening up. We will make overall plans to promote deep-level reform and high-level opening-up, resolutely get rid of the ideological concepts and institutional mechanisms that hinder the promotion of Chinese modernization, promote the better adaptation of production relations and productivity, superstructure and economic foundation, state governance and social development, roll up our sleeves and work hard, and we will certainly be able to continuously consolidate and strengthen the economic recovery to a good trend and unswervingly accomplish the objectives and tasks of economic and social development throughout the year.

North America Watch Why can the government only sigh when gun violence is rampant in the United States?

  The proliferation of gun violence has become a cliche in the United States. According to the data of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were nearly 40,000 people who died at gunpoint in the United States in 2019, of which one-third died of murder and nearly two-thirds died of suicide. In addition, the proliferation of firearms will cause about 115,000 people to be disabled in the United States every year. In contrast, since the US military entered Afghanistan in 2001, the death toll of the US military there is 2,312.

  According to the report of American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), the annual economic loss caused by gun injuries in the United States is about $300 billion, and the GDP of the United States is nearly $21 trillion in 2020. That is to say, the annual economic loss caused by guns is equivalent to 1.3% to 1.5% of the GDP of the United States. Putting this proportion into the huge economic aggregate of the United States, the absolute value is still very amazing: it is equivalent to Americans destroying a Finnish economy every year because of shooting (Finland’s GDP will be 300 billion US dollars in 2020).

  It can be said that the severity of gun violence in the United States is unique among developed countries. Therefore, the issue of gun control has become a jargon in the debate of the American Congress. However, despite the fierce quarrels among lawmakers, they often start this endless debate whenever there is a large-scale shooting incident. However, in the past 50 years, there has been no real substantive decision on gun control and solving the problem of gun proliferation.

  So, what makes it so difficult for the United States to control guns?

  The reason why Americans have the right to hold guns is a bit roundabout.

  First of all, we must clarify a concept, that is, the argument that people are free to hold guns in the Second Amendment of the US Constitution, which is emphasized by many gun-holding organizations, looks more like an absurd historical "myth" today.

  In 1791, the US Congress passed the Second Amendment, saying that "a well-disciplined militia is necessary for the security of a free country; The people’s right to hold and carry weapons shall not be violated. " The reason for enacting this amendment is that holding guns by citizens will help prevent the expansion of the power of the federal government and prevent the government from imposing tyranny on the people.

  It is true that many armed militiamen joined the struggle against British "tyranny" when the North American colonies became independent, but these militiamen with no military organization and no logistical support could not resist the attack of the British regular army for a long time. Even many militiamen joined the war of independence with the mentality of firing a few shots and sneaking home to continue farming if they failed.

  The American War of Independence can be won, thanks to the French navy’s unprecedented defeat of the British Royal Navy, which has always been invincible in the 18th century. As a result, the British main force entrenched in Yorktown was cut off, and the commander-in-chief cornwallis was forced to surrender to the French army and the Continental Army led by Washington. The powerful "armed militia" is the "founding myth" of the United States, and it is the regular navy and army that really overturns the British.

  △ In the Chesapeake Bay naval battle, the French fleet successfully prevented the Royal Navy from rushing to help the British main force stationed in Yorktown, thus controlling the sea power in the theater, causing the British army to declare its surrender after running out of ammunition, thus ending the American War of Independence. (Source: US Navy)

  Moreover, individuals with guns can never compete with the state machine, and the US federal government does not hesitate to use military power far beyond the firepower of the people’s guns to carry out armed repression. During the American Civil War, a large-scale anti-conscription riot broke out in new york, and the American government responded with artillery. Some even said that warships moored in new york also participated in the suppression of the rioters. Unlike the revolvers commonly used by rioters at that time, the heavy weapons of the army were not available to the people at all, and even if they were held, they could not afford to maintain them.

△ In 1863, there was a conscription riot in New York, and the army used artillery to suppress the participants in the riot. (Source: new york Times)

  In the 21st century, with the rapid progress of military science and technology, the firepower gap between the army and the people holding guns is even greater. Not only that, since the Bush era, the US military has also transferred surplus military equipment to local police through the so-called "Project 1033", and the US special forces have trained police officers, which has made the American police a veritable paramilitary organization. Under such circumstances, the American people also know that there is no good end to engaging in large-scale armed riots. Therefore, when the new york police made a move, the crowd dispersed.

  After this year’s farce of "Occupy Capitol Hill", no one has stood up with guns and opposed the US government’s nationwide night fall.

  The biggest beneficiary of people holding guns is the southern slave owners.

  In fact, I’m afraid that the reason why the Second Amendment to the US Constitution was passed that year was not that members of Congress really believed that people holding guns was conducive to resisting the government’s "tyranny".

  At that time, it was not long after the Shays Uprising (1786-1787) against the Massachusetts authorities, and the argument that people could not be trusted was still popular among the political elites in the United States at that time. In fact, the biggest beneficiary of allowing people to hold guns is the slave owners in the south.

  When the United States was founded, slave farming was the most obvious private industry that relied on guns. In order to prevent slaves from rioting and fleeing, unofficial "slave patrol" system appeared in southern States, which is also one of the origins of American police system. According to the logic of slave owners, these slave patrols are also "well-disciplined militia" mentioned in the Second Amendment to the Constitution. The existence of slavery also explains why the amendment emphasizes that "well-disciplined militia" is crucial to national security, because only whites could join the militia at that time. Emphasizing that "militia" owns guns, not individuals, can exclude blacks from the ranks of gun owners and realize the absolute superiority of whites over blacks in force. At that time, the slave uprising in the French colony of Haiti was in full swing, and black slaves slaughtered a large number of white slave owners, which seriously stimulated American slave owners.

  It can be said that it is an inevitable interest proposition of these people to emphasize the gun support right of white militia.

  The Paradox between Gun Control and Law

  At this point, we can see that the Second Amendment to the American Constitution is out of touch with the development of the times, and the basis of legislation at that time seems to be contrary to the basic moral standards of mankind today. This amendment is also the most fundamental legal reason for the inability to control guns in the United States today.

  However, as a basic law, the American Constitution can hardly be amended again. According to the current law, amending the Constitution requires at least two-thirds of the members of the Senate and the House of Representatives, respectively. However, in the Congress where politics and lobbying prevailed in Jin and Yuan Dynasties, lobbying organizations, represented by the National Rifle Association of the United States and reflecting the interests of various arms dealers, have long held key members firmly in their own hands. Not to mention amending the constitution, any attempt to tighten gun control at the state and federal levels will be strongly and effectively stopped by the Rifle Association.

△ The National Rifle Association (NRA) is one of the most important political lobbying groups in the United States. (Source: NRA official website)

  Not only Congress, but also the judiciary has played a very disgraceful role in the problem of gun proliferation in the United States.

  Compared with long-barreled firearms, pistols are more secretive, which is beneficial for gunmen to engage in large-scale shooting by surprise, and is also very suitable for suicide. Therefore, the city government of Washington, the capital of the United States, once attempted to completely ban the possession of pistols. However, in 2008, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the actions of the Washington municipal government were unconstitutional, and at the same time reinterpreted the Second Amendment, confirming that the right to own guns was not limited to militia, but included all individuals. Since the ruling of the Federal Supreme Court is final, it means that gun control efforts in many states have been wasted.

  The game of gun control and gun prohibition

  Of course, the justices of the Federal Supreme Court did not forget to show their "neutrality" in their judgments, claiming that guns and gun rights still need to be managed by someone. Nice words, but how to "manage" guns is a mess that puzzles American politicians.

  Due to the federal nature of the United States, the responsibility for formulating specific gun management policies is shared by the federal government and local governments. The federal government is responsible for issuing gun sales licenses and conducting background checks on gun buyers to confirm that they have no criminal record before they can legally hold guns. Local governments are responsible for formulating specific provisions for carrying guns in public places. It seems that governments at all levels have a clear division of labor, but there are many loopholes in actual operation.

  First of all, not everyone needs a federal license to sell guns. If they are selling guns in their own homes, online or at gun exhibitions, they do not need a federal license to sell guns for long-term profit. Because enterprises and individuals with sales licenses have the responsibility to inform the federal government of the identity of gun buyers so that they can conduct background checks, this means that when sellers without licenses sell guns, the federal government cannot investigate the identity of buyers. According to a study conducted by Harvard University in 2017, one-fifth of the gun transactions in the United States have not undergone background checks.

  Second, since gun ownership has become a "natural human right", only a few states require residents to apply for a gun license. Therefore, most of the time, the government passively screens the legitimate owners when the gun trade takes place. Except for those States that need to have a license to buy guns, local governments can’t actively screen gun owners or train gun owners in the code of conduct.

  Third, even if a comprehensive background check system is implemented nationwide, as many gun control groups now support, to plug the loopholes that guns can’t be investigated during gun exhibitions or online purchases, or to implement a nationwide gun purchase license system, it can’t solve a core problem, that is, because guns in the United States have been flooding for a long time, a large number of criminals illegally buy guns through the black market instead of through formal channels. This means that no matter how many gun control policies are formulated by the government, as long as the United States can’t implement a strict national ban on guns, people who want to own guns always have ways to deal with it. All gun control policies instead of banning guns are aimed at preventing gentlemen and not villains.

  Why is there no solution to the rampant gun violence?

  The problem of gun proliferation in the United States is a typical institutional case. The revision of the Constitution, the legislation of Congress, the interpretation of the law by the courts, the separation of powers between the central and local governments, lobbying and the intervention of interest organizations, almost all kinds of gloomy aspects in American politics are reflected in the gun issue. To solve the problem of gun violence in the United States, I’m afraid what we need is not to tinker with a certain law, but to thoroughly reform the system of representative federalism with three powers, which is full of ills. But this is completely impossible to achieve in the United States today, so we can only let it go.

  Now, Americans are completely numb to large-scale gun incidents. Since the beginning of this year, there have been nearly 250 large-scale shooting incidents that have caused more than three casualties. Gun control, like other stubborn diseases that cannot be solved because of the American system, has become a tool used by politicians to attack each other. The more quarrelling, the less means to solve it properly, and the gun violence will continue. After all, members of parliament live in wealthy areas with good public security, and the shooting of people is still far away from them. (Contributed by Jing Zhao)

Floods and geological disasters in British Columbia, Canada have caused four deaths, and the province has imposed an oil restriction order.

  China News Service, Toronto, November 21st (Reporter Yu Ruidong) According to the data updated on November 20th in British Columbia, Canada, severe floods and geological disasters in the province have caused four deaths, and one missing person has not been found yet.

  The disappearance and death occurred in Lillooet in the Fraser Valley and near Duffy Lake in the inland area of the province. The deceased was a woman and three men.

  The province’s autopsy service said that law enforcement and search and rescue personnel have been trying to search for people reported missing in extreme rainfall and mudslides in the past five days. Relevant departments will do their best to determine the unfortunate situation, record it, and make suggestions if possible to prevent similar deaths from happening again in the future.

  Extreme weather, such as continuous heavy rainfall since the 14th of this month, has caused rare severe floods, landslides, mudslides and other disasters in British Columbia, located at the western end of Canada and along the Pacific coast. About 18,000 people were forced to evacuate due to the flood, nearly 10,000 houses were under evacuation orders or evacuation warnings, and a large number of farm animals died in the flood. British Columbia declared a two-week state of emergency on the 17th.

  In order to ensure disaster relief, British Columbia announced the implementation of temporary fuel restrictions on the 19th. Ordinary people’s vehicles are only allowed to buy 30 liters of fuel at each gas station. This measure is planned to be implemented for about 10 days. This has led to long queues at oil stations in the Greater Vancouver area, and some oil stations have sold out of fuel.

  At the same time, although some of the affected highway sections have gradually resumed traffic, British Columbia still prohibits vehicles that make "non-essential" trips from entering specific sections. The province also reminded people that drinking wells in flood-affected areas may have been polluted.

  The meteorological department has issued an alarm, and it is expected that heavy rain, strong winds and low temperature will sweep across the northern coast of British Columbia and move south in recent days.

  The Canadian federal government has deployed troops to assist British Columbia in flood fighting and disaster relief. The federal government and the province also set up a joint working group on supply chain to promote the full recovery of logistics as soon as possible. (End)

Credit card customers are misled by insurance sales and want to cancel their cards.

  Now when receiving a call from the insurance company, Mr. Zhu has a firm attitude: No consideration! He no longer trusts the bank as before, and even considers canceling the bank’s credit card.

  Recalling that he bought an insurance five years ago, Mr. Zhu still regrets it very much, and this regret will accompany him for five years until the payment expires in 10 years. Since he bought insurance, the insurance company has called him every now and then to promote other insurance products, and he feels overwhelmed.

  He said: "This insurance is in the name of the bank credit card center. I bought it out of trust in the bank, but after carefully studying the contract, I think this insurance is not suitable for me. I want to surrender, but I can only negotiate with the insurance company!"

  Should I add insurance if my credit record is good?

  "When they called me, they first exchanged pleasantries with you and told you that from your credit card consumption record, your credit is very good. Soon, they will tell you that your current insurance coverage is low, and there are more suitable ones for you, so let me continue to add insurance. The 10-year payment period should be recalculated from the date of adding insurance. In this case, I can only resolutely refuse. " Mr. Zhu told reporters.

  "This doesn’t mean that if I accept their advice again, the payment for the first five years will not count, so it won’t be a bottomless pit?" Mr. Zhu was very excited when he talked about it.

  After the mood calmed down a little, Mr. Zhu recalled to the reporter the situation when he bought this insurance.

  At that time, during the Beijing Olympic Games, Mr. Zhu just got off the bus when he returned to Beijing on vacation from other places, and he received a phone call from his credit card issuer recommending him to buy an insurance from a foreign insurance company. "Buying an insurance policy means an extra guarantee, which is a good thing. At the same time, I trust this bank, so I readily accept the products they recommend." Mr. Zhu said.

  However, in fact, Mr. Zhu, then 25, knew so little about insurance that he had never even heard of the name of the company that recommended buying insurance.

  "At that time, people who claimed to be the bank credit card center only briefly introduced the function of this insurance on the phone and told me that if they suffered from serious diseases during the 20-year insurance period, they could get compensation from the insurance company, but they didn’t even tell me how much they could pay at that time." Mr. Zhu told reporters.

  Because Mr. Zhu was outdoors when he received the phone call, he didn’t calm down and think carefully about what major diseases were included. If he felt that it was inappropriate to surrender, he would have any losses, and he agreed to buy insurance.

  Credit card transfer is silent.

  According to Mr. Zhu’s insurance contract, the main insurance he purchased is the endowment assurance of Happy Life (2008 edition), and the monthly insurance premium is 442.80 yuan, and the long-term critical illness insurance (2008 edition) is paid in advance with Happy Life, and the monthly insurance premium is 44.30 yuan. The payment period is 10 years and the insurance period is 20 years.

  "I remember calling me on Friday afternoon, and they sent the insurance policy on Monday morning, only one weekend apart." Mr. Zhu said. At that time, the insurance policy was sent to the unit by express delivery. "When I arrived, the courier asked me to sign it. Without telling me any information, I didn’t think much, so I signed it." Mr. Zhu said.

  These seemingly ordinary things have quietly buried hidden dangers for Mr. Zhu. Because the monthly payment of this insurance product is 487.10 yuan, the amount is not large, and this fee is directly transferred from the credit card, and Mr. Zhu does not have to go to the bank to pay in person. In addition, he has just come back from vacation and is busy with work, so at first, buying insurance did not attract his high attention.

  When he was free, Mr. Zhu began to carefully consider whether it was appropriate to buy this insurance, and at this time it was three months since the policy came into effect.

  Looking at this contract, Mr. Zhu felt more and more wrong, so he searched online. This search doesn’t matter. Some comments on the Internet made Mr. Zhu gasp.

  "I found that this insurance is very poor in the evaluation of netizens, and I think it is not suitable. I want to surrender." Mr. Zhu told reporters, however, after communication, Mr. Zhu learned that if he surrendered, his losses would be great. "If the payment is less than one year, I will not get any premium when I surrender, which is equivalent to three months of premium payment. My monthly salary was not high at that time, and the three-month premium was definitely not a small amount for myself. " Mr. Zhu said.

  Faced with such an outcome, Mr. Zhu felt very helpless and could only continue to pay the premium. The reporter saw in the insurance contract that his main insurance period was less than one year without cash value, and the cash value at the end of the first year was 8.82 (calculated by the amount of insurance in 1000 yuan). Then, even if he surrendered his insurance at the end of the first year, he could only get 1,764 yuan, while the premium paid in one year was 5,845.2 yuan.

  In an interview with reporters, Mr. Zhu admitted that he was ill-considered in purchasing this insurance at that time and made a hasty decision.

  Are deep cooperation advantages and disadvantages?

  In the cooperation between insurance companies and banks, in addition to borrowing bank outlets for sales, more cooperation has gone deep into credit card centers. Because credit card customers generally have good credibility, strong economic strength and high insurance awareness, insurance companies attach great importance to it.

  At the same time, because of the natural trust in banks, it is easier for insurance companies to sell insurance in the name of bank credit card centers. However, insiders pointed out that it is understandable for insurance companies and banks to carry out in-depth cooperation. If the sales behavior norms will make customers more convenient, it will be good for everyone. However, if the sales behavior of bancassurance is not more standardized, there will be misleading sales or telephone nuisance, and even insurance disputes, which will make consumers feel rebellious towards insurance companies and banks, and banks may lose some of their customers.

  "No matter when the bank credit card center sold it to me on the phone or when the insurance policy was sent to me by courier and asked me to sign it, they didn’t emphasize the risk of surrender, nor did they prompt what should be determined before signing. I think they avoided the weight and misled me. I made a decision too quickly." Mr. Zhu said.

  After this incident, Mr. Zhu’s attitude towards insurance changed from accepting to refusing. He said: "If insurance companies are dishonest when selling insurance, even if they have insurance, they may not be guaranteed."

  Five years later, Mr. Zhu still pays the premium every month, but he has long ignored the significance of this policy. He said: "It’s time to deposit a current deposit and take it out when the insurance expires. But who knows what will happen in 20 years? Maybe insurance still has some effect. " In his speech, Mr. Zhu has both helplessness to insurance and a little affirmation of the significance of insurance. (Securities Daily Leng Cuihua)

Adhering to the concept of the community of human destiny, we will unite a strong synergy to overcome the epidemic.

China government assists Malaysian anti-epidemic materials to arrive at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Xinhua news agency

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out at the G-20 leaders’ special summit on COVID-19 that major infectious diseases are the enemies of all mankind. The COVID-19 epidemic is spreading all over the world, which poses a great threat to people’s life safety and health, and poses a great challenge to global public health safety. The situation is worrying. At present, what the international community needs most is firm confidence, Qi Xin’s concerted efforts, United response, all-round strengthening of international cooperation, cohesion of a strong joint force to overcome the epidemic, and joint efforts to win this human struggle against major infectious diseases. In the face of the epidemic, as a community of destiny in which you have me and I have you, all countries in the world should act quickly, unite the strong synergy of unity, cooperation and common response, and protect the health and peace of the common home of mankind.

  1, gather together to fight the epidemic.

  At the critical moment when the global situation of COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control is becoming more and more severe, the G20 leaders’ first special summit meeting in response to COVID-19 by video released a positive signal of joint prevention and control by the international community, and opened the world agenda of building a prevention and control cooperation mechanism, which indicates that the global joint efforts to fight the epidemic will move from value consensus to pragmatic operation.

  Global joint efforts to fight the epidemic is an inevitable choice to effectively curb the spread of the epidemic. At present, the COVID-19 epidemic is spreading rapidly around the world. According to the World Health Organization, the COVID-19 pandemic has not been effectively contained, and it is growing at an exponential rate. If the international community fails to take joint measures, millions of people may be killed. At the same time, affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the risk of world economic recession is increasing, the international financial market is in turmoil, the unemployment rate in some countries is rising rapidly, social panic is spreading, and populism and trade protectionism are on the rise. A series of secondary disasters caused by the epidemic are causing more and more concern and anxiety. No country can stay out of it and be immune to it.

  Global efforts to fight the epidemic urgently need the concerted efforts of the international community. The outbreak and spread of COVID-19 epidemic in the global scope are different in time, region and degree. This determines that countries must strengthen policy coordination, joint prevention and control, and strengthen communication and sharing of relevant information. On the one hand, the international community should strengthen information sharing, carry out cooperation in drug and vaccine research and development and epidemic prevention, effectively prevent the cross-border spread of the epidemic, and especially work together to help developing countries with weak public health systems improve their coping capacity. On the other hand, with the rapid spread of the epidemic, the demand of countries for medical and health protection and other related materials has surged sharply, which requires the global industrial chain, especially the hub countries, to deepen capacity cooperation, dig deep into capacity potential and achieve the most efficient supply. At the same time, in view of the serious impact of the epidemic on the world economy, countries should also strengthen the adjustment and docking of macroeconomic policies to ensure the openness and stability of the global market and boost the confidence of the world economy.

  2, joint efforts to fight the epidemic need to build consensus.

  The outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic shows once again that human beings are a community of shared destiny. How to effectively curb the spread of the epidemic and prevent and resolve the secondary disasters of the epidemic is a major issue related to the interests of all countries and the future and destiny of mankind. At a critical juncture, is Qi Xin working together to protect the homeland, or is it selfish, narrow-minded and malicious? Is it to join hands to fight the epidemic and overcome the difficulties together, or to create rumors and stigma? It not only tests the governance ability and responsibility of all countries, but also tests the collective rationality and moral spirit of mankind.

  Common challenges need to be met together. Epidemic diseases, regardless of national boundaries and races, are the common enemies of mankind. With the rapid flow of people, goods and information, epidemic diseases can easily break through the time and space boundaries and national boundaries, quickly spread from one country to many countries, and detonate the global public health crisis. What’s more, compared with many diseases, COVID-19 virus has stronger infectivity and higher pathogenicity, which can spread to all parts of the world through individual personnel flow, resulting in a huge global and random risk, and the prevention and control is more difficult than ever. Only by working together can we win the battle. All countries in the world should actively carry out international joint prevention and control from the height of building a community of human destiny to jointly safeguard global public health security and human health and well-being.

  Common goals require unity and cooperation. Building a world of lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness, tolerance, beauty and cleanliness is the common goal and beautiful pursuit of people of all countries, and it is also the rich connotation inherent in building a community of human destiny. The sudden epidemic not only directly threatens the global public health security, but also profoundly affects the economic and social development and prosperity of all countries. As a result, the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic has gone beyond the field of public health and evolved into an overall war and a blocking war to safeguard the prosperity and development of the world and protect human civilization. The international community must establish an effective cooperation mechanism and strengthen communication and coordination in personnel management, scientific research, experience sharing and material production, so as to cope with the crisis and win victory through cooperation.

  The common destiny needs to be in the same boat. There is only one earth for mankind, and all countries coexist in one world. The earth is the common home of mankind and the only home of mankind so far. The objective living conditions and the era environment of "you have me and I have you" make the future and destiny of every nation and country closely linked, with one glory and one loss. As General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized, the occurrence of the COVID-19 epidemic once again shows that mankind is a community of shared destiny. In the era of economic globalization, such a major emergency may not be the last time, and various traditional and non-traditional security issues will continue to bring new challenges. The international community must establish a sense of community of human destiny, help each other, work together to meet the risk challenges and build a better home on earth.

  3. Make China contribution to joint efforts to fight the epidemic.

  China is an advocate of the concept of community of human destiny, and also the most powerful promoter and practitioner of this concept. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed, "I advocate co-construction ‘ Belt and Road ’ And building a community of human destiny is to promote exchanges and mutual learning among different civilizations and mutually beneficial cooperation among countries, and to build a world of lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness, tolerance, cleanliness and beauty. " In this war without smoke, China has been actively supporting the international community’s anti-epidemic efforts with practical actions, and has provided assistance to international organizations including the World Health Organization and more than 80 countries. This is a vivid practice of the concept of a community of human destiny. The speed of China has won precious time for world epidemic prevention, China has built the first line of defense to control the spread of global epidemic, and the practice of China has set a benchmark for human beings to deal with major public health emergencies. The strategic deployment and policy measures adopted by China in the process of epidemic prevention and control, as well as the universally recognized achievements, have greatly demonstrated the urgency and necessity of building a community of human destiny and contributed valuable spiritual wealth to the global joint efforts to fight the epidemic.

  Maintain the heroic spirit of facing difficulties. Difficulties inspire fighting spirit and challenge the spirit. The Chinese nation has experienced many hardships in its history, and has never been crushed. Instead, it has become more frustrated and brave. It is because we always have the belief of winning in the face of any difficulties and obstacles, and dare to struggle and win. The more difficult and dangerous, the more forward we are. After the outbreak of the epidemic, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core United and led the people, braved difficulties and faced difficulties, put forward the general requirements of firm confidence, helping each other in the same boat, scientific prevention and control, and precise policy in time, made clear the overall goal of resolutely curbing the spread of the epidemic and resolutely winning the prevention and control of the epidemic, and quickly launched the people’s war, the overall war and the prevention and control of the epidemic. In the face of the complicated and severe global anti-epidemic situation, all countries in the world should launch a "life-and-death struggle" with the new crown pneumonia virus with heroic spirit to fight hard and fight to the end.

  Adhere to the concept of win-win cooperation. Peace, development, cooperation and win-win are the trend of the times, and they are also the basic principles that must be observed in the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic. During the epidemic period, China, in an open and transparent manner, informed the World Health Organization at the first time, shared information with other relevant countries at the first time, and shared the whole gene sequence of the virus to the whole world at the first time, and actively carried out all-round cooperation with the international community. At present, China has shared many technical documents on epidemic prevention and control with more than 100 countries and more than 10 international organizations and regions around the world, and translated the 7th edition of COVID-19’s diagnosis and treatment plan and the 6th edition of prevention and control plan into many languages for the reference of relevant countries and international organizations, which has effectively enhanced the global anti-epidemic ability and won wide acclaim from the international community. The epidemic is our common enemy. In the face of this struggle, which concerns the common interests of all mankind, all countries in the world should uphold the concept of win-win cooperation, strengthen policy communication and coordination, and work together to set up the strictest joint prevention and control network to fully curb the spread of the epidemic. It is necessary to gather the strength of all countries, work together to speed up scientific research on drugs, vaccines and testing, and strive to achieve breakthrough results that benefit all mankind at an early date. It is necessary to explore the establishment of a regional public health emergency liaison mechanism to improve the emergency response speed of public health emergencies.

  Demonstrate the mission responsibility of a big country. It is the common responsibility of all countries in the world to build a community of human destiny and meet global risk challenges. Among them, big countries play a pivotal role and should take the lead in taking on greater responsibilities and play a mainstay role. In this anti-epidemic process, China took the lead in donating US$ 20 million to WHO, sending medical expert groups to some countries and regions with severe epidemic situation and weak health systems to provide anti-epidemic experience support and medical material assistance, and establishing an online knowledge center for epidemic prevention and control in COVID-19, which is open to all countries, making great contributions to the global anti-epidemic and showing the world feelings of upholding justice and helping each other in the same boat. Fighting the COVID-19 epidemic is a struggle, which requires the firm confidence, unity and cooperation of all mankind. As long as we help each other in the same boat, we will be able to completely overcome the epidemic and write a magnificent chapter in the community of human destiny.
