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.

　　Writing the answer sheet of the times to reform and strengthen the army

　　— — Summary of achievements in national defense and army building in the new era (II)

　　■ Liberation Army Daily reporter Qian Xiaohu Han Cheng

　　In the desert Gobi, a certain unit of the army organizes multi-arms cross-domain maneuver and three-dimensional attack and defense; Over the East China Sea, the J -20 fighter formation thundered forward to carry out actual combat drills in the maritime direction; In the western Pacific, the carrier formation of Liaoning ships is breaking waves and tempering its offshore combat capability … … On the occasion of the people’s army’s 95th birthday, we can truly feel the profound changes brought by the reform and strengthening of the army through the turbulent pictures on the training ground of the three military exercises.

　　A strong country must strengthen the army, and a strong army must reform. In November, 2015, when the snow began to fall in Beijing, the Central Military Commission’s reform work conference was held. President Xi issued a mobilization order to deepen the reform of national defense and the army: fully implement the strategy of strengthening the army through reform and unswervingly follow the road of strengthening the army with China characteristics. The unprecedented integrity and revolutionary changes in the strength, depth and breadth of our military history have thus begun.

　　The spring tide is surging, and the torrent is brave. The organizational structure of our army has undergone a historic transformation, the road to elite soldiers with China characteristics has taken a historic step, and Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s military policy system is becoming more and more complete … … Today, the people’s army reborn from the fire is accelerating towards the goal of a world-class army by leaps and bounds.

　　Strategic plan, "key trick" to win the future

　　It is often a keen and powerful ideological lever that incites history.

　　Standing at the new time coordinate point, looking back at the course of national defense and military reform again, and looking back at the holistic and revolutionary reconstruction and remodeling brought by this round of reform to the people’s army, we feel more deeply the profound historical vision, broad strategic considerations and strong mission responsibility of the military commander.

　　Back to November 15th, 2012, just after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China closed, President Xi presided over the first executive meeting of the new Military Commission, which clearly pointed out that we should always forge ahead in the spirit of reform and innovation and strive to seize the initiative in military competition. More than 20 days later, President Xi came to the forefront of China’s reform and opening up — — Guangdong, inspected the Haikou ship at Shekou Port in Shenzhen and sailed with the ship for 4 hours.

　　"President Xi has high hopes for reforming the strong army and building a strong navy." After a lapse of 10 years, when President Xi inspected the scene overlooking the sea, Shan Donghui, the captain of Haikou Ship, was still vivid; The earnest entrustment of the commander-in-chief always haunts the hearts of naval officers and soldiers. Now, the photo of President Xi and the sailors at the bow of the ship is displayed in the Military History Museum of the detachment where Haikou Ship is located, always encouraging officers and men to be strong in the chart.

　　If you can’t make the sea, you must make it. The Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, more than 100 years ago, was a very painful "national mourning" in the history of modern China, and was called "the pain of gouging out one’s heart" by President Xi.

　　Gaze at history and observe reality. In the second decade of 21st century, China has become the second largest economy in the world. However, the road from the big to the strong is doomed to be uneven.

　　Looking around the world, the international pattern and system are undergoing profound adjustment, the global governance system is undergoing profound changes, and the international power balance is undergoing the most revolutionary changes in modern times. In this unprecedented great change, the new military revolution in the world, with the essence of fighting for the strategic initiative, has developed in depth, and major countries have adjusted their security strategies and military strategies one after another, and adjusted their military organizational forms. Its speed, scope, depth and influence are rare since the end of the Second World War.

　　"Once the military backwardness is formed, the impact on national security will be fatal. I often read some historical materials of modern China, and it hurts me to see the tragic scene of being beaten behind! " President Xi warned the whole army that the new military revolution provided us with a golden opportunity. We must hit the water in the middle stream, and we can’t do it without changing it, and we can’t do it if we change it slowly. This is a big exam that we can’t avoid. The army must hand over a qualified answer to the party and the people and to history.

　　A hundred battles struggle, and those who struggle first. Focusing on the multiple considerations of history and reality, international and domestic, war and peace, a blueprint for profound changes in the future of the people’s army has been brewing in the commander’s mind.

　　"What I think most is whether our army can always uphold the absolute leadership of the party when the party and the people need it, whether it can pull up and win the battle, and whether commanders at all levels can lead troops to fight and direct the war." At an important meeting of the army, President Xi’s words struck a deaf ear. This is the questioning of the times and the questioning of the mission.

　　Examination and questioning come from a deep insight into the risk challenges on the road ahead, and more from a clear understanding of our military’s capabilities and shortcomings — — "There is still a big gap between the modernization level of our army and the national security demand, and between our army and the world’s advanced military level", "Our army is not capable of fighting modern wars, and cadres at all levels are not capable of commanding modern wars", "Without reform, we can’t fight and win battles" … …

　　National rejuvenation, read here; Strengthen the army and build the army, and linger at night. President Xi profoundly pointed out: We must deepen the reform of national defense and the army with greater wisdom and courage. This is the requirement of the times to realize the Chinese dream and the dream of strengthening the army, the only way to strengthen the army and the key measure to determine the future of the army.

　　Seek the layout of the article, and make a sound. On March 15, 2014, a message from Xinhua News Agency attracted much attention at home and abroad: the supreme leader served as the leader of the Central Military Commission’s leading group for deepening national defense and army reform. It is the first time in the history of the party that the general secretary of the party personally serves as the leader of the leading group for deepening the reform of national defense and the army.

　　This year marks the 120th anniversary of the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. After two Jiazi, China’s army embarked on a brand-new starting point of transformation and strength.

　　"The easy and happy reform has been completed, all the delicious meat has been eaten, and the rest are hard bones." Facing the tough battle of national defense and army reform, President Xi encouraged all officers and men of the army: The more difficult it is, the more determined they must be and forge ahead, and they must never be hesitant and timid. As long as the whole army unites its will, dares to gnaw hard bones, and dares to wade in dangerous beaches, there will be no flaming mountain that can’t be crossed!

　　At the critical moment, the strategic vision and political determination of the supreme commander are the decisive factors for the success of the reform. Focusing on promoting the reform of national defense and the army, President Xi presided over the collective study of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee twice, presided over the meeting of the leading group for the reform of the Military Commission three times, listened to the opinions and suggestions on the reform of large units many times in person, and personally organized and studied major issues of reform.

　　Where are the institutional obstacles? What are the structural contradictions? How many policy issues are there? A number of reform special groups and expert advisory groups conducted extensive research, concentrated wisdom and repeatedly demonstrated — —

　　More than 690 military units, more than 800 symposiums and demonstration meetings, more than 900 on-the-job and retired military leaders and experts, more than 2,000 team members of units above the military level and officers of divisions and brigades, and more than 3,400 opinions of officers and men of the army. The reform plan has been adjusted, revised and improved more than 150 times before and after … …

　　The reform of national defense and the army concerns the overall situation and the whole country. From inside the military to outside the military, from the central government to the local government, all localities and departments have given strong support to deepening the investigation and demonstration of national defense and military reform and drawing up plans, thus forming a touching situation in which the party, government, army and people in Qi Xin work together to help reform. The National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Bureau of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense actively participated in the reform demonstration; The Central Organization Department, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security launched an in-depth study on the reform of management and security for retired military personnel & HELIP; …

　　Fighting day and night, the Military Commission Reform Office launched a high-intensity, high-density and wide-ranging investigation. Opinions and suggestions from all sides, like a clear spring, inject fresh vitality into the scheme.

　　In July 2015, President Xi presided over the third plenary meeting of the leading group for the reform of the Central Military Commission, and reviewed and approved in principle the Proposal on the Overall Plan for Deepening the Reform of National Defense and the Army. Subsequently, President Xi presided over the executive meeting of the Central Military Commission and the The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) meeting respectively to review and approve the Overall Plan. A set of reform designs that solve deep-seated contradictions, have major innovation breakthroughs, and reflect the characteristics of the people’s army have emerged.

　　The hoof is fast and steady, and the "three major battles" are like a rainbow.

　　Some moments are destined to be unforgettable, and some events are destined to go down in history.

　　In the snowy midsummer, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the harsh alarm cuts through the tranquility of a brigade camp of the 76 th Army. Personnel gathering, unpacking equipment and loading formation … … A full-loaded pull drill kicked off. Looking at the new barracks which integrates the functions of command, training, living and security, Qiu Shaoyun’s company commander Dunzhi Bading really felt the strength of reform: five years ago, when the company moved thousands of miles from Hexi Corridor, it was still a desolate Gobi.

　　Reform affects the hearts of every officer and soldier. "What is discipline, that is, the party will do whatever it wants." As a witness and witness, Dun Chi-Badin knows well the difficulty of relocation and the pain of reform. "But no matter how difficult and painful it is, we must be resolute and resolute."

　　This is a historic moment: at 0: 00 on January 16, 2016, the seven military regions of Shenyang, Beijing, Lanzhou, Jinan, Nanjing, Guangzhou and Chengdu stopped exercising their command, and the five war zones in the east, south, west, north and central began to operate.

　　In less than a month, 15 functional departments of the Central Military Commission were adjusted and formed, and the army leadership, rocket army and strategic support forces were established, which made a big step in the reform of the leadership and command system.

　　Focusing on implementing the requirements of political army building under the new situation, promoting the organic unity of leading and commanding troops and deepening the reform of national defense and the army, the "first battle" starts with breaking the headquarters system, the military region system and the continental army system, and the first move is to build a leadership and command system of "the Central Military Commission is in charge of the general, the main battle of the theater and the main construction of the service".

　　With one order, the headquarters system that has been running for decades has become history overnight. Among them, the number of institutions above the division level has been reduced by more than 200, and the number of personnel has been reduced by one third. Military Commission — War zone — The operational command system of the army and the Central Military Commission — Services — The leadership and management system of the army started to operate, and the long-standing institutional obstacles of the army were effectively solved.

　　According to experts’ evaluation, the new pattern is of great significance for ensuring the party’s absolute leadership over the army, ensuring the efficient command of the army by the military commission, ensuring the scientific planning of the military commission and strengthening the management of army building.

　　The first battle laid the foundation stone and took advantage of the situation. In December 2016, a conference on the reform of the military scale structure and strength of the Central Military Commission was held in Beijing. President Xi personally deployed and deepened the "second big battle" of national defense and army reform.

　　The reform of scale structure and strength organization is not simply "addition and subtraction", but the optimization of structure and function leads to scale adjustment, focusing on cracking structural contradictions and realizing the revolutionary reshaping of our military strength system, which is "slimming" and "strengthening the body". Throughout the history of world military development, the scale structure and strength of the army cannot be fixed, but must change with the changes of war forms and combat methods, as well as with the changes of national strategic needs and military missions and tasks. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the army is, it will be out of date and even vulnerable.

　　On April 18th, 2017, President Xi met with the heads of 84 corps units newly reorganized by the whole army. Ten days later, the regular press conference of the Ministry of National Defense revealed that the army’s 18 group army titles were revoked, and the 13 group army titles after adjustment and formation were announced at the same time. In that reform, Qiu Shaoyun’s former army, like many troops deployed for relocation, left the old camp that had been stationed for more than 40 years, came to a strange new station, and came to a place closer to the front line of military struggle, set up camp, and prepared for training and consolidation.

　　The boldness and boldness of China’s military reform once again shocked the world: the number of military posts was reduced by 300,000, and the total number of active posts was reduced to 2 million; More than 1,000 units and institutions above the corps level have been reduced, the number of active posts in non-combat institutions has been reduced by nearly half, and the number of combat troops has increased rather than decreased, making it more substantial; The thinking pattern and historical inertia of the concept of mechanized warfare in the "Great Military Region" and "Continental Army" have been gradually changed. The mode of focusing on military groups and winning by quantity, the power structure and deployment of land-based and homeland-defensive forces have been changed, and the degree of integration of troops, the flexibility of operational grouping and application have been significantly improved.

　　If the reform of the leadership and command system focuses on "strengthening the brain", the reform of scale structure and strength formation focuses on "strengthening the bones and muscles", and the reform of the military policy system focuses on "connecting the meridians". In mid-November 2018, the Central Military Commission’s policy system reform work conference was held in Beijing, which opened the prelude to deepening the "third big battle" of national defense and military reform.

　　"The military policy system regulates military relations, standardizes military practice, and ensures military development. The reform of the military policy system is very important for realizing the party’s goal of strengthening the army in the new era, building the people’s army into a world-class army in an all-round way, and realizing ‘ Two hundred years ’ The Chinese dream of striving for the goal and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is of great significance. " President Xi’s important speech pointed out the direction for promoting reform.

　　Four days after the meeting, the list of policies and systems issued just before was released. Twenty-seven policies and systems were included in the list, including strengthening the construction of party organizations, selecting and transferring cadres in war zones, improving the relevant policies of troops stationed in plateau islands, encouraging scientific and technological innovation, managing employment contracts for civilian personnel, and providing medical care for military personnel and their families.

　　Promote the reform of military expenditure management, military salaries, housing and medical security, improve the management and security system and mechanism of retired military personnel, and build and improve the military honor system … … A series of policies and systems embodying the characteristics of military occupation have been stepped up, providing a solid institutional guarantee for improving the combat effectiveness and stimulating the vitality of the troops.

　　Rebuild and rebuild, and the "big country array" has taken on a new look.

　　Time is the best developer and the best touchstone.

　　At the foot of Helan Mountain, the wind and thunder surge. The "Western Joint -2021" exercise, which attracted worldwide attention and was full of bright spots, was launched at the Army Qingtongxia Contract Tactical Training Base.

　　In this exercise, China and Russia sent more than 10,000 troops, invested in multi-type aircraft, artillery and armored equipment, and conducted dozens of exercises such as joint air defense, joint obstacle breaking and joint three-dimensional capture. The armed forces of the two countries reached a new height in coordinated operations.

　　The exercise was led by our army, instead of the independent grouping planning before, it was changed into the mixed grouping and joint planning of the two armies, and the bilingual command information system was used throughout, and the situation data was shared … …

　　Seeing many new changes, the military experts on the spot can’t help feeling the performance of China’s army: the command level of this exercise is flatter, the operational grouping is more flexible, and the degree of integration and modularization is higher. It can be seen that a joint combat force system with elite combat forces as the main body is taking shape, which vividly shows the new achievements and new leaps of China’s military reform.

　　Looking back at the Gobi smoke, focusing on the future battlefield. In just a few years, the People’s Army has accelerated its changes in the "new system time": the army’s mobile operations and three-dimensional offensive and defensive capabilities have been significantly enhanced, the navy has accelerated the transformation from offshore defense to offshore defense, the air force has accelerated the transformation to air and space integration, and both offensive and defensive capabilities have been enhanced. The Rocket Army has continuously strengthened its nuclear and conventional capabilities, and the strategic support forces have made every effort to promote the leap-forward development of key areas & HELIP; … With a new system, a new structure, a new pattern and a new look, a new combat force with a leaner scale, a more optimized structure and a more scientific organization is accelerating its rise.

　　— — The command system is lean and efficient. Military Commission — War zone — The operational command system of the army started to operate, and the highest leadership and command of the army were concentrated in the CPC Central Committee and the Central Military Commission. Compared with the original four headquarters, the new Military Commission has a clearer path of command, construction, management and supervision, a more rational allocation of functions of decision-making, planning, implementation and evaluation, and a more focused strategic planning and macro management, and has truly become a staff organ, an executive organ and a service organ of the Military Commission. The focus of joint operational command is on the war zone, and the focus of army construction management is on the arms and services. The war zone specializes in fighting and is mainly engaged in joint operations, and the services take fighting to lead and seize construction as the battle. Implement the military in the main combat troops of the whole army — Brigade — The battalion system, the combat forces of various arms have been strengthened, the command level has been reduced, the operational command has become flatter and smoother, and the combat formation has become more comprehensive and flexible.

　　— — The scale structure is constantly optimized. An exercise of crossing the sea and landing on the island started in the summer storm, and the Marines dressed in starry camouflage uniforms made a new appearance. In this round of reform, the Marine Corps, Air Force Airborne Forces, Rocket Forces, Strategic Support Forces, Joint Logistics Support Forces and many other new combat forces were newly adjusted and formed, and the active posts of the Navy and Rocket Forces were moderately increased. For the first time, the posts of the Army were reduced to less than 50% of the total posts of the whole army, and the proportion of services and arms and the proportion of officers and men were greatly improved; The establishment of organs at all levels has been reduced, the internal organs, leadership levels and personnel of organs at all levels have been reduced, and the staff of organs at or above the regimental level have been reduced by about a quarter; Elite combat forces such as aircraft carriers, large destroyers, strategic early warning aircraft, air assault and special operations have been strengthened, which has effectively promoted the transformation of the people’s army from quantitative scale to quality and efficiency.

　　— — Joint war and joint training start a new game. The roar of air fighters, the array of ground missiles, and the galloping of warships at sea … … In early May, the Eastern Theater organized naval, air and naval forces to conduct normalized live-fire drills in a certain sea and airspace. After the reform and adjustment, the whole army’s concept of preparing for war and joint training has been further strengthened: the Central Military Commission has made great efforts to solve practical problems such as the theory and regulations of theater construction, and established a theater joint operation command system with "four beams and eight pillars"; Each theater plays the role of joint warfare and joint training hub, pulling joint training with realistic tasks, leading joint training with operational plans, inciting joint training with inspection and evaluation, and truly realizing joint training to lead and support joint training of arms and services; All services and arms closely meet the needs of joint combat capability in the theater, innovatively organize a series of service and arms campaign training, and jointly train with the service and arms capability training support system to continuously improve the contribution rate of winning the war.

　　— — The policy system has become more perfect. On January 1, 2021, the "Provisional Regulations on the Administration of Officers in Active Service" and related supporting regulations were implemented; On March 31, 2022, the Provisional Regulations on Non-commissioned Officers, the Provisional Regulations on Conscripts and related supporting regulations were implemented … … Officers and men have called for reform, and a large number of laws and regulations that are in urgent need of reform and preparation for emergency have been formulated, promulgated or revised. Establish the professionalization system of military officers, optimize the treatment guarantee for military personnel, improve the policy system of military training, equipment development, logistics construction, military scientific research, national defense mobilization, etc. The system of military laws and regulations with China characteristics has been continuously improved, so that all factors conducive to the construction of combat effectiveness can compete with generate’s vitality, attract and gather outstanding talents to the maximum extent, and effectively stimulate the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of officers and men in reforming and strengthening the army.

　　China’s military reform has attracted worldwide attention. At the School of International Defence of National Defense University, middle and senior officers from multinational armies once held a round-table discussion entitled "Military Reform in China". A foreign military student said with emotion, "The military reform in China involves a wide range of issues, and it is a huge and complicated project. The smooth progress of the reform fully reflects the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s strong leadership. "

　　Standing at the new historical tide and looking back at the magnificent picture of reforming and strengthening the army, we firmly believe that under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the supreme leader as the core, the people’s army in the middle stream will always maintain its determination to reform and the courage to overcome difficulties and create "new and greater miracles that will impress the world"!

????????On the afternoon of June 25th, 2007, the 28th meeting of the 10th the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) reviewed the draft anti-monopoly law of the People’s Republic of China in groups, and the speeches were summarized as follows:

????????(A) on the monopoly agreement
????????Alex Chen (deputy to the National People’s Congress) said that it is proposed to amend Item 6 of Article 13: "Other monopoly agreements recognized by anti-monopoly law enforcement agencies" to "Other monopoly agreements that exclude or restrict competition". Because the original text excludes the due process of judicial review. It is suggested to add provisions on the application for exemption procedure after Chapter 2. Because there are no requirements for applying for exemption and application procedures in the draft, operators cannot judge the legality of their actions. We should let the law guide enterprises to declare independently, not just rely on government inspection, change the way of government control and save administrative costs.

????????Committee member Fang Xin said that Article 14 "prohibits business operators from reaching the following monopoly agreements with counterparties", including "fixing the lowest price for reselling goods to third parties". But in practice, this is a common practice for domestic and foreign enterprises. In order to maintain the brand image of the enterprise, the final market price will be limited in the sales contract, such as the market price of specialty stores and brand stores. Whether the current writing is too absolute, and whether the lowest price of goods sold by consignment or agency and the price limit between parent and subsidiary companies should be allowed can be reconsidered.

????????Member Nan Zhenzhong said that Article 15 (5) of the draft anti-monopoly law stipulates that "due to the economic downturn, in order to alleviate the serious decline in sales or the obvious surplus of production". "Economic depression" is very complicated, including global economic depression, national economic depression, regional economic depression, industrial economic depression and so on. It is suggested that the exact meaning and judgment standard of "economic recession" should be further clarified in order to make the exemption standard more clear.

????????(2) Abuse of dominant market position
????????Member Nan Zhenzhong said that Article 16 (2) of the draft anti-monopoly law stipulates that "goods are sold at a price lower than the cost without justifiable reasons;" It is suggested that "without justifiable reasons" be changed to "for the purpose of crowding out competitors". Because the standard without justifiable reasons is vague, and selling goods below the cost price to crowd out competition and then monopolize is a common means of abusing market dominance, this amendment makes this provision more targeted. Article 16 (5) of the draft anti-monopoly law stipulates that "tying goods or attaching other unreasonable trading conditions to transactions without justifiable reasons;" It is suggested that "without justifiable reasons" be changed to "against consumers’ wishes" and amended to "against consumers’ wishes, tying goods or attaching other unreasonable trading conditions to transactions;" Because the standard of no justifiable reason is vague, whether tying goods is legal should be judged by the wishes of consumers. The anti-monopoly law restricts the tying of goods against consumers’ wishes.

????????Ying Songnian (member of the Internal Affairs Judicial Committee of the National People’s Congress) said that Article 16, the legal responsibility for abusing market dominance lies in Article 46. If an operator abuses market dominance and excludes or restricts competition in violation of the provisions of this Law, it seems that the abuse of market dominance will bear legal responsibility only in the case of restriction and exclusion, but in fact, the abuse of market dominance mentioned in Article 16 is not just exclusion and restriction. I suggest that the legal liability of Article 46 should be further improved, and it should correspond to all kinds of situations mentioned in Chapter 3, Abuse of dominant market position, and have specific legal liabilities.

????????Committee member Fang Xin said that the first paragraph of Article 16 "sells goods at an unfairly high price or buys goods at an unfairly low price", and I think "unfair" is not very accurate. I suggest changing it to "sells goods at a significantly higher price than the market price or buys goods at a significantly lower price than the market price". The last few paragraphs all say "without justifiable reasons". I think if possible, it’s best to write clearly what we want to limit. For example, in paragraph 2, "without justifiable reasons" can be changed to "selling goods at a price below the cost for the purpose of excluding competitors". In paragraph 5, "without justifiable reasons" can be changed to "tying goods or attaching other unreasonable trading conditions when trading". Article 18, paragraphs 2 and 3 have two or three operators as a whole or three operators as a whole. I think "as a whole" is also a very vague concept. The key is to see if these two or three operators have a specific relationship. If there is a specific relationship, it should be restricted. If there is no specific relationship, how can it be regarded as a whole and it can be said that it has a dominant market position? It is suggested to stipulate whether there is a specific relationship.

????????Committee member Wang Weicheng said that regarding the abuse of market dominance in Article 16, it is suggested to add one item after the six items, namely, "the enterprise has acquired advanced technology, which is not used or not actually promoted", which also belongs to the abuse of market dominance. Enterprises have money, and this technology is beneficial to the country and the market, but it may be unfavorable to the main traditional business of the enterprise, which hinders technological progress.

????????Dai Songling (deputy to the National People’s Congress) said that the enterprises that abuse market dominance are mainly public enterprises, and the law should increase the punishment for these enterprises. For example, the water company forces users to buy their designated water supply equipment, and the gas company forces users to buy their designated gas stoves and water heaters. All kinds of information service fees imposed on users by communication departments when they buy mobile phones, such as caller ID, weather forecast, reading newspapers and so on. For these enterprises that abuse the dominant market position, we should increase the punishment, and at the same time give corresponding punishment to those responsible.??

????????Liu Qingfeng (deputy to the National People’s Congress) said that Article 16 of Chapter 3 talked about the abuse of market dominance, and I think it is very important to lead to the abuse of market dominance by market dominant operators. Article 5, tying goods without justifiable reasons, or attaching other unreasonable trading conditions, has something to do with what I mentioned above, but it is not exactly the same. Tying goods means selling another kind of goods that we already have, hoping to bundle them together, but when our industry faces transnational competition, some situations are more serious than this. I suggest adding "bundling other commodities or giving other commodities free of charge among commodities in a dominant market position without justifiable reasons, which seriously affects the market order of bundled commodities or giving other commodities free of charge". For example, if the operating system provided by Microsoft is to regard intelligent voice technology as an inseparable part of the operating system, this is malicious binding, rather than the general concept of goods. In addition, if it is not an integral part of the operating system, but it is given away for free when the operating system is sold, this is a hitchhiking. It will have a serious impact on the national voice industry. Therefore, it is suggested that this issue be further clarified, otherwise, the development of our national intelligent software will always face huge monopoly risks.

????????Alex Chen (deputy to the National People’s Congress) said: First, it is suggested that the second paragraph of Article 18 be amended as follows: "In the cases specified in the first, second and third paragraphs, if an operator has evidence to the contrary to prove that it does not have a dominant market position, it should not be presumed that the operator has a dominant market position." The reasons are as follows: First, in most cases, operators with the market share specified in Article 18 generally have a dominant position in the market, but in some cases, it is wrong to make the above presumption, such as when the barriers to entry in the relevant market are low, or when the entry into the relevant market is short, or when the superior resources of the above operators are almost exhausted, or when the patent right is about to expire, and so on. Second, in this clause, the burden of proof is assigned to the operator, and the law enforcement agencies can save law enforcement resources according to this presumption, and also give the operator a chance to refute it to ensure that the presumption is fair and accurate. Two, it is suggested that the second paragraph of article sixteenth be amended as "operators shall not sell goods at a price lower than the operating cost for the purpose of excluding competitors". The reasons are as follows: First, the amendment is copied from Article 11 of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law, which will make the "two laws" consistent in regulating predatory pricing. Second, as far as predatory pricing is concerned, there is a dispute between "purpose" and "effect" in the practice and theory of anti-monopoly law. The United States uses the "effect" standard to determine whether it constitutes predatory pricing, that is, whether the operators with dominant market position can implement predatory pricing,And take the competitors out of the market and recover the losses suffered by predatory pricing or earn non-competitive profits as the standard. If the "cost" can be recovered, it will constitute predatory pricing. Australia, on the other hand, adopts the "purpose" standard, that is, as long as the operators with dominant market position abuse their dominant position and compete with competitors at a price lower than the cost price for the purpose of excluding competitors, it constitutes predatory pricing, regardless of whether the predators can recover the "cost" afterwards. Comparing the "purpose" and "effect" standards, the "purpose" standard is more effective in combating predatory pricing, more operable and more in line with the purpose of competition law. However, the "effect" standard will affect the enthusiasm of operators for competition, and it is difficult to distinguish between what is beneficial to competition and what is anti-competitive, because the effect of competition will hurt one side of competition. Moreover, before the predatory price war has an "effect", the plundered will not be able to stop the predatory behavior of the marauders, because it has not yet had an effect. If you can, you can only assume that the predator can recover the "cost" after excluding the prey. This assumption is obviously not conducive to competitive behavior. The "purpose" standard can make up for the defects of the "effect" standard in this respect. First of all, the "purpose" standard can prevent operators with dominant market position from abusing their dominant position. Secondly, the element of "market dominance" in predatory pricing can also play the role of "effect" standard, because only operators with market dominance can recover costs or obtain excess profits after the predatory price war.Therefore, we suggest making the above amendments to this clause. Third, it is suggested to delete the "financial resources" of the operator in Item 3 of Article 17, because such a provision may make the enterprise conceal its financial situation, and this is not a necessary condition for measuring monopoly ability.

????????(3) Concentration of business operators
????????Commissioner Li Lianning said that Chapter 4 deals with the substantive norms of concentration of business operators. Concentration of business operators is an important field of anti-monopoly. If a certain field is too concentrated, it is not conducive to competition. But at present, the expression of this chapter is basically a procedural norm. According to the truth, the procedural specification is based on the entity specification, to implement the entity specification concretely. In other words, we should first stipulate the entity norms for the concentration of operators, and then stipulate how to declare and review. According to the current regulations, such as Article 20, if the concentration of business operators meets the declaration standards set by the State Council, the business operators shall report to the anti-monopoly law enforcement agency in the State Council in advance, and the concentration of those who fail to report shall not be implemented. This is a procedural expression. According to the truth, the concentration of business operators should first be in accordance with the substantive provisions of the state, and under this standard, the business operators should implement the examination system of concentration of business operators, and then how to declare. In addition, from the standard point of view, only the issue of share is stipulated now, but the concentrated share and assets owned by operators vary greatly in different industries and fields. It is actually difficult to give consideration to different industries by using a unified share. Therefore, it is suggested that the State Council should distinguish between different industries and fields, so as to formulate the declaration standards for concentration of operators separately, instead of the unified standards stipulated in Article 21. The substantive norms, examination standards and conditions of concentration of business operators should be stipulated in different fields and industries. Of course, a principle requirement can be made, and the authorization should be specified by the State Council.

????????Member Guo Shuyan said that Article 21 mentioned that an operator may not report to the anti-monopoly law enforcement agency of the State Council in any of the following situations, and pointed out two situations. First, one operator owns more than 50% of the voting shares or assets of each other operator. Second, more than 50% of the voting shares of each operator who participated in the concentration are owned by the same operator who did not participate in the concentration. I don’t understand why this concentration does not need to be reported to the anti-monopoly agency in the State Council. However, it has been clearly pointed out in the article 19 on what is the concentration of operators that operators obtain the control rights of other operators by acquiring equity or assets. Since the situation pointed out in Article 21 is "concentration" as defined in Article 19, why not declare it to the State Council? If Article 21 is established, will all enterprises take the way of obtaining controlling rights when they are engaged in "concentration" in the future, so there is no need to declare to the State Council. Article 21 seems to open a back door for "concentration". Therefore, recommendation 21 needs to be considered again.

????????Member Wang Songda asked whether the third item of Article 26 "the influence of concentration of operators on market entry and technological progress" and the first item of Article 15 "for improving technology and researching and developing new products", such as these places, could the technological progress be fully described? Natural monopoly is not uncommon in daily life, and we have many experiences and feelings. For example, the media often disclose that some telecom industries are constantly juggling, such as packages, but there are not many benefits for consumers. This kind of magic trick of natural monopoly can’t reduce the cost and improve the economic benefit. When summarizing the achievements of Hong Kong in the past 10 years after its return to China, the news media cited an example, saying that when Hong Kong’s telecommunications industry was controlled by British or American people, long-distance calls were made at 10 yuan per minute. Later, the monopoly was broken, and Hong Kong people controlled the telecommunications industry themselves, but now it is a few cents per minute. For example, in the Ministry of Railways, it is very difficult and technically complicated to continuously improve the speed over the years. Taking improving the speed of locomotives as a breakthrough, a series of technological progress is reflected. Natural monopoly enterprises should use scientific and technological progress to counter all kinds of barriers set by foreign countries.

????????Commissioner Uzitu said that this law should have stricter regulations on foreign capital entering the China market. Only article 29 of Chapter 4, on concentration of business operators, deals with foreign capital’s merger and acquisition of domestic enterprises. In recent years, foreign investment in various fields of China’s economy really needs attention. Relevant information shows that before 2004, foreign investment in China in the form of mergers and acquisitions only accounted for 5% of the investment. By 2004, the proportion had risen to 11%, and in 2005 it reached 20%. What was the figure in 2006? I haven’t seen the data yet. I think there may be more. The leading bosses and backbone enterprises in many domestic industries have been acquired and controlled by foreign-funded enterprises. For such a situation, it seems a little weak to rely on this one alone. How to deal with this situation abroad? For example, in the United States, a foreign investment committee composed of the Ministry of Finance, the the State Council, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Justice, the national security affairs department, and the Economic Advisory Committee has been set up, which is responsible for examining the merger and acquisition of American domestic enterprises by foreign investors. For example, CNOOC’s acquisition of Yunik Company in the United States was abandoned because of the intervention of Congress and the security review. A few years ago, we bought some US Treasury bonds. In recent years, the dollar has depreciated. Many people think that we are losing a lot now, but in this case, in the eyes of Americans themselves, there have been many comments on the impact of holding US Treasury bonds on US economic security. Another example is that our newly established foreign exchange company is going to buy the Blackstone Fund in the United States, which has caused discussion in the US Congress and relevant government departments.I believe that this behavior may affect the national security of the United States. Since China’s entry into WTO, our financial field has been opened in all directions recently, but it is almost impossible for our domestic finance, insurance and securities to enter the American market. It can be seen that as a free and open market economy country like the United States, they attach so much importance to this. In contrast, our country has not paid enough attention to this aspect. I hope it can be reflected in this law.??

????????Commissioner Chen Shineng said that the draft anti-monopoly law under discussion today involves my industry, and now there is a very serious problem, that is, industrial safety. I just want to give you an example, and I also want to ask you how to truly stop malicious mergers and acquisitions and protect our national industry in this anti-monopoly law. For example, batteries are used by everyone in daily life, including lithium batteries for mobile phones. After more than ten years’ development, the production of batteries in our country has reached more than 30 billion, compared with more than 40 billion in the world, and our export volume has reached 80% of the world trade volume, among which alkaline manganese batteries with relatively high technical content and high added value were monopolized by enterprises in the United States, Japan and other countries ten years ago. However, after ten years of our own efforts, we are now the world’s largest battery producer and exporter, so the United States and Japan felt threatened, and they took a series of measures, first of all, they took technical barriers to trade and the 337 investigation case of intellectual property protection, and made investigations in 2004 and 2005, but we responded positively and won. In anti-dumping, we also responded and won. Improve environmental protection indicators, and we have also kept up with them through our technical measures. In this case, the United States has adopted the practice of fundamentally changing the property rights of the backbone battery enterprises in China. It has bought the leading battery enterprises in China, Nanfu Battery Co., Ltd. in Fujian and the battery co., Ltd. jointly invested by China Bank and Hongkong Bank in Ningbo at a high price.They are the backbone enterprises in our battery industry, adopting high and new technology. Their alkaline manganese batteries are the first and second in our country and the top ten in the world. Nanfu brand and Shuanglu brand mercury-free alkaline manganese batteries are brand-name products in China, which have been recognized by AQSIQ. These two enterprises, whose predecessors were small and medium-sized enterprises, began to work hard in the 1990s. They gradually developed by introducing advanced foreign equipment and technology, and solved the initial funding problem. They respectively set up joint ventures with international finance and investment companies and Hong Kong companies. After long-term hard work and capital accumulation, by 2002, the total assets of these two companies had reached 880 million and 390 million respectively, and their sales revenue had reached 757 million, and their tax profits had also reached. Such a high profit rate is unmatched by foreign battery industry. But no one expected that these two companies, which are developing at a high speed, were both acquired by foreign battery companies from 2005 to 2006. Nanfu battery was acquired 72% equity by Duracell in the United States, the largest battery company in the world, and BOC was acquired 85% equity by GT Company in Singapore, and the main business rights of the company were given to foreign battery companies. There is also the third Leopard King, which is also 85% owned by American companies. In other words, the top three most profitable alkaline manganese battery enterprises in China have been acquired by foreign enterprises. Acquisition of property rights of China battery enterprises,It may be a very important strategy for international famous battery enterprises to monopolize the international high-end battery market. In recent ten years, American Duracell Group has poured a lot of financial and material resources into the China market. At that time, China’s battery industry itself was not mature, so their brands occupied a large share of us. By the middle and late 1990s, several domestic battery enterprises, such as Nanfu, which I mentioned just now, had introduced technology and equipment, digested and absorbed them, and gradually acquired their own intellectual property rights, with improved quality and grade. In the domestic market, it has been supported by AQSIQ and China Battery Association. We have blocked Duracell, Energizer and Hitachi in Japan, and their output, sales volume and profits in our country have dropped greatly. At this time, foreign enterprises have taken the above series of measures. Although we responded to the US 337 investigation case and the anti-dumping case, we all won, but in this case, due to the short-term behavior of the local governments where these domestic enterprises are located, these enterprises all have local government investment, and the local government originally invested tens of millions, but now it can get back hundreds of millions, so it also strongly advocates. I don’t know if there is any unfair trade here. Bank of China, for its own sake, as a financial institution, now has a relatively high profit, so take it back quickly, or maybe the relevant parties have done some work. In this kind of "mercenary" and "short-term behavior", the high-priced acquisition with foreign companies "hit it off". In order to successfully acquire, foreign companies,For a period of time, they can promise to play your brand, but the most important thing is to make use of your sales channels. First, China has a large market. In addition, China’s export volume is already very large, accounting for 70%-80% of the international market. Slowly, at the beginning, I signed a contract with you. One was to pay a high price, and the other was to promise that your brand still existed. Finally, he became the big boss, and he had the final say, and your brand gradually disappeared. Finally, it was his brand that was completely played. This is a malicious merger. Under such circumstances, China’s battery industry leader, the enterprise that was cultivated in the past ten years of reform and opening up, was slowly "eaten" and withdrew from the market. Therefore, what we have to think about is how to maintain the industrial safety of these industries in our country. Now this phenomenon not only occurs in the battery industry, but also in the household appliances industry, hardware industry, daily chemical industry, plastic industry and so on in my light industry. For example, in the home appliance industry, through the efforts of these ten years, our output and sales, including world trade volume, air conditioners and microwave ovens account for 70% of the world trade volume, refrigerators and freezers account for 50% of the world trade volume, washing machines account for more than 40% of the world trade volume, and small household appliances account for 80% to 90% of the world trade volume. Therefore, the foreign enterprises in the world corresponding to us must be jealous of us, so they will take various measures to us, including buying him at a high price, which is strategic. For example, in recent years, Dabao in Beijing, as a welfare enterprise for the disabled,The state has given preferential policies, and now, after it is developed, Procter & Gamble will also buy it, and it is said that it seems that we have talked about it. Supor rice cookers in the hardware industry are to be acquired by French companies. I mean, from a battery industry, we can see that the whole light industry in China and hundreds of famous brands are threatened, and so is Wahaha, a beverage company in Hangzhou. Of course, there are also some strategic problems of its own. These problems are worthy of our deep thinking. Therefore, in our anti-monopoly law, I want to ask you how to withstand it. Because we know very well that when we want to buy American oil companies, CNOOC has already talked about it, and finally American parliamentary legislation blocked us. Our legislation should give full consideration to the protection of China’s industrial safety, such as the self-discipline of trade associations. Article 20 of Chapter 4 stipulates that if the concentration of business operators meets the reporting standards stipulated by the State Council, the business operators should report to the anti-monopoly law enforcement agencies in the State Council in advance, and if they fail to report, they may not implement concentration. As a matter of fact, our trade association knew all those things afterwards, because the State Council didn’t authorize us, so they didn’t have to report to us. We didn’t know until afterwards, but it was too late. As far as the State Council is concerned, the declaration standards can only be set in principle, and each industry and product can be set quantitatively, which the State Council can’t do, not to mention the State Council, and the National Development and Reform Commission can’t be so detailed. Therefore, for specific industries, the State Council should authorize trade associations. If not,It can’t do it at all.

????????Dai Songling (deputy to the National People’s Congress) said that the merger between enterprises should be clearly controlled in the draft. In recent years, China’s economy has developed rapidly. Under the market economy, enterprises with fixed assets of about 5 billion have a natural tendency to expand their scale and market share. Moreover, in some areas, large enterprises buy, merge and control small and medium-sized enterprises in these areas by virtue of their scale and advanced technology, resulting in competitors with certain capabilities gradually withdrawing from the market and forming a monopolistic market structure. Therefore, the merger between enterprises should be clearly controlled in the draft. If the purchase, merger and holding between enterprises form a monopoly in a certain market, or even the price of the products of the enterprise has completely influenced the market price, the state must intervene.

　　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 equipment and training of American local police have been militarized, and ordinary gunmen are far from their opponents. (Source: Johns Hopkins University)

　　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.

　　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.

　　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)

　　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)

Read the original text

　　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)
