Cruises start again The return of the dream ships

As of: 06/17/2021 3:52 p.m.

The cruise industry is trying to start over in small steps. Successful vaccinations and falling infection numbers are fueling hopes, but the way out of the crisis should not be an easy one.

By Thomas Spinnler, tagesschau.de

The cruise industry, along with the entire tourism sector, was one of the biggest losers in the pandemic. The entire business came to a standstill at times. The 7-day incidence values, which have recently fallen across Europe, and the vaccination campaign, the progress of which is becoming increasingly noticeable, are awakening hopes for a successful restart in 2021, both in the industry and among those interested in cruises. It is not excluded. Just yesterday, a cruise ship with guests left Hamburg for the first time in seven months . This morning went for the first time since the outbreak of the corona pandemic in front of Palma in Mallorca a cruise ship at anchor, the “Mein Schiff 2” of the German shipping company TUI Cruises. It is said to be the first of more than 20 who will be calling this port by the end of August.

“Time was used”

“The chances of a real fresh start for the cruise industry are very good due to the measures that have been taken,” said Helge Grammerstorf, National Director of the Cruise Lines International Association Germany (Clia) tagesschau.de firmly. The providers used the time to expand the security measures against Corona, to keep the ships ready for the incoming operation and to strengthen the sustainability measures.

However, the memory of what happened during the start of the pandemic last year is likely to be fresh for many. Hundreds of vacationers were stuck on board, some for weeks, ports refused entry – the sometimes dramatic images are not so easy to forget.

“Safer than in the supermarket”

That is why protection against corona remains the determining issue on cruise ships. Grammerstorf is certain that health protection on the ships is guaranteed. Individual corona cases cannot be completely ruled out. But both staff and passengers would be tested before boarding, during the trip and also at the end of the trip.

“In principle, it is safer on the ship than when shopping in the supermarket, since the ships are completely sealed off from the outside,” says the Clia director. This also applies to shore excursions, which take place in closed groups that are not allowed to be left. “In the very rare event that a person should test positive during the voyage, it is provided that all affected persons and their contacts are taken off board to protect everyone else,” says Grammerstorf.

The shipyards are also suffering

The industry is an important economic factor. In Germany alone, the ocean cruise business is worth billions. According to the association’s data, the area with around 48,000 employees generated around 6.6 billion euros in 2019. Above all, however, it represents 80 percent of orders from German shipyards.

The German shipbuilders were therefore hit hard by the crisis. Because many shipyards have specialized in the construction and maintenance of cruise ships. Jobs have also been cut, both at the shipyards and among the cruise lines.

“Offers are accepted”

According to Clia, according to the latest available figures from September 2020, around 28,000 jobs have been lost, more than half. If the industry returns to a reasonably normal and predictable course of business, many will return. No wonder, then, when the hope of a new start becomes more and more urgent.

According to Grammerstorf, the customers are very enthusiastic about the offers, there is a great demand for cruises: “Demand pressure has built up while it was not possible to travel. The pre-bookings for 2022 are also very encouraging.” A more precise forecast is currently not possible, as the countries are only gradually opening up and therefore many departures are scheduled at short notice.

High costs, hardly any income

The business will hardly be profitable at first. No income, or at best low income, is offset by high running costs. After all, the ships cannot simply be completely decommissioned when they are in ports or in roadsteads. Some of the crew must remain on board, the ships must be kept functional, which requires regular and intensive maintenance. In addition, the huge passenger capacities of the ships cannot be used to their full capacity despite the start of travel activity due to the corona-related distance rules. Higher costs, also because of the various protective measures, are offset by lower income, which would have to be offset with higher prices. “At the moment, the main thing is to show that cruises can also take place safely under Corona conditions,” emphasizes Grammerstorf. The cruise operators have to accept that it is likely to be a losing business, at least initially

At two o’clock in the morning Beijing time on the 16th, the Chinese team will usher in the Syrian team, the last opponent of the World Preliminary Group Stage at the Sharjah Stadium in the UAE. The Syrian team has already qualified ahead of schedule, and the Chinese team will also be locked in the group as long as they get one more point. Qualifying places. However, the Chinese team has unified their minds and will not adopt conservative tactics in the last game. They will definitely go all out to win the opponent.

Due to the large-scale rotation of the national football team against the Maldives, it is not difficult to guess the starting lineup of the national football team in this game against the Syrian team. Yan Junling and Wu Lei are definitely the main players in the iron fight and will not be rotated. On the defensive line, Wang Shenchao, Jiang Guangtai and Zhang Linpeng, who were rotated in the last rotation, will start the field. At the right back position, due to tomorrow’s serious injury, Tang Miao will start the field and Ji Xiang will be the alternate.

If there are no accidents in the midfield, Wu Xi and Zhang Xizhe will continue to start, assisted by Wu Xinghan and Jin Jingdao. However, in the game against the Philippines, such a midfielder did not achieve the expected results. In the second half, Li Tie also decisively adjusted the lineup before winning the opponent. In this game against Syria, Li Tie is likely to continue to use the 433 formation to attack opponents. In this case, midfielder Wu Xi will partner with Jin Jingdao as a double defensive midfielder. Wu Xi is responsible for control and Jin Jingdao is responsible for sweeping and intercepting. Zhang Xizhe advanced to the front midfielder and was responsible for organizing the offense.

If you change to 433, then Wu Xinghan and Wu Lei will continue to serve on the left and right wing sides and serve as wingers. Exxon was alone in the middle, serving as a center. For Wu Lei’s performance as a winger, the head coach seems very satisfied. In the match against the Maldives, he still insisted on arranging Wu Lei’s starting field and playing the right winger in the whole team rotation. It seems that he also intends to find another feeling for playing Syria. Wu Lei really lived up to expectations, only playing 45 minutes to complete a goal and an assist. (Sohu Sports Pei Li)

Predicted starting: 433

Currently, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt has closed its New York office pending the completion of the sale. For its part, HarperCollins posted a 45% increase in profits in the first quarter, with revenue up 19% from the first three months of 2020. Revenue came in at $490 million, while EBITDA hit $80 million. Susan Panuccio, chief financial officer of News Corp (parent company of HarperCollins), said the increase in sales was driven by the general commercial and children’s books industry in the US and UK. Panuccio revealed that printed books accounted for 62% of sales in the quarter. In terms of format, sales of e-books increased by 38% and audiobooks increased by 42%. In a short financial update, Bertelsmann (the parent company of Penguin Random House) said that Penguin Random House was one of several divisions of the company that posted double-digit growth in the first quarter compared to the same period of 2020. Simon & Schuster is currently decommissioned, pending acquisition completion. Simon & Schuster’s parent company, Viacom CBS, had $185 million in revenue, up 8.8% from the first quarter of 2020.

Van Thanh is in high form, so pushing him to the bench is difficult at the moment. Photo: Y Kien. Choosing someone in the right wing corridor between Trong Hoang and Van Thanh when one is the mainstay and the other just shines is not a simple matter. The same problem was also posed on the left side when Doan Van Hau had just had more than 10 minutes on the field in a position that Hong Duy showed quite impressively. Van Thanh and Hong Duy were originally just backup plans in the team. No. 17 has been a substitute for all 5 previous matches in the World Cup qualifiers. Hong Duy has only had the second kick after the 0-0 draw of the Vietnamese team against Thailand in the first leg at the end of 2019. If Van Hau is not injured and takes a 7-month break, Hong Duy hardly has a chance. If Trong Hoang was not suspended, it is unlikely that Van Thanh would have had his first match in the World Cup qualifying round. So the placement of two HAGL players is a situational solution for Coach Park Hang-seo. The interesting thing is: These two players did well. High performance in V.League in HAGL shirt has paved the way for Van Thanh and Hong Duy to compete in the team. This duo helps the team fly high on the leaderboard. Particularly Van Thanh also has 2 goals, equal to the number of goals scored by his colleagues on the attack of Ha Duc Chinh team. When given the opportunity against Indonesia, both played the full 90 minutes. Hong Duy passed the ball to create conditions for Tien Linh to score the opening goal, while Van Thanh set a “4-star” victory for Vietnam by turning the ball and cutting his heart accurately. Choosing who to start will depend on the tactical intentions of Coach Park Hang-seo, as well as the rotation plan for the “final group” match against the UAE on June 15. Van Thanh, Hong Duy are full-backs who play well in attack. Mr. Park was right to let the duo play from the start against Indonesia in a match that needed to be scored. However, playing against a young opponent who is out of motivation is not an accurate measure to properly evaluate the defensive ability of this duo. Running the last 12 minutes against Indonesia with a bandaged knee cannot guarantee Van Hau is 100% ready for the next match. Photo: Quang Thinh. In front of the opposing team at the age of U23, the Vietnamese team controlled the ball up to 67%, made 546 passes (with Indonesia it was 293). In the whole match, Indonesia only had 3 chances to shoot towards the goal of Bui Tan Truong, only one of which hit the target. Malaysia is not like Indonesia. Coach Tan Cheng Hoe’s army is not an inexperienced opponent, the level difference is clear compared to the Vietnamese team. Malaysia have upgraded their squad, but more importantly, they hope to progress to the World Cup qualifiers. This victory or defeat also determines many things for the Vietnamese team. In games that require safety, Hong Duy is rarely used in the left corridor. But if you give Van Hau the opportunity, Coach Park will risk a player who has been off the game for 7 months, just recovering from an injury. 12 minutes on the field against Indonesia cannot confirm this player is 100% ready for the match against Malaysia. Same with the right-back position. Van Thanh has just shone, but Trong Hoang is the mainstay of the Vietnamese team. Another option for Coach Park is to take Van Thanh to the left, and Trong Hoang to play on the right. This solution both helps the team’s best right-back enter the field, while increasing the defense for the left side. Vietnam team prepares for the match against Malaysia After the victory over Indonesia, the Vietnamese team went to the training ground to prepare for the match against Malaysia on the evening of June 11.

Windows 10 Sun Valley will be a valuable update for users. At the moment there is still no certainty about what Microsoft will announce during the event, but based on what has been posted before, the event will certainly not talk about the dual-screen Windows 10X operating system. Because the company has decided to kill this operating system and start porting its important features to Windows 10. It is likely that the presentation will focus strongly on Sun Valley – a name that has appeared many times in recent times. Reports suggest that Sun Valley will bring a more modern look and feel, with rounded corners to elements like the Start menu and especially the end of Windows 95 era icons. Additionally, the company says could offer an revamp of the Windows Store to allow developers to use a third-party payment system – something like hitting Apple’s App Store. The new icon system will say goodbye to the old icons from the Windows 95 era. In addition, the event is expected to also feature a number of company leaders, including CEO Satya Nadella and Product Manager Panos Panay – who used to be the face of Microsoft’s Surface devices. company. At the Build event last month, Nadella confirmed that the upcoming changes to Windows 10 are “one of the most important Windows updates of the past decade”. Because the COVID-19 pandemic situation has not been completely controlled, the event will only be held by Microsoft in an online state instead of in person.

More special than usual. The hotel has a strict cleaning and disinfection program and provides information on the rules in Portugal so that guests can enjoy their stay. The most important thing is that visitors are safe.” Portugal has eased restrictions set in place over the past four months, reopening restaurants and shopping. However, restaurants are still limited in capacity and must close at 10:30 pm. On the beaches, visitors still have to wear masks. Nightclubs and indoor alcohol bars remain closed.

According to media reports, the Biden government may launch its first arms sales to Taiwan, providing M109A6 self-propelled howitzers to Taiwan, China. According to the “Global Times” quoted a Taiwan media report on April 20, the Taipei Office of the “American Institute in Taiwan” has notified the Taiwan side that the United States will announce the procedure for notifying the Congress of Taiwan’s procurement of the M109A6 self-propelled howitzer in the near future. The head of Taiwan’s defense department responded that the arms purchase case has been promoted for a long time, but has not received an official notification from the US government. If the arms sales to Taiwan are confirmed in the near future, then compared to the first batch of arms sales to Taiwan proposed by former U.S. President Trump half a year after taking office (June 2017), Biden’s footsteps are obviously a bit faster. The signal sparked outside discussion. Some experts said that this also indicates that the Biden administration is likely to play the “Taiwan card” more and more, and it is also responding to the demands of anti-China elements and military enterprises in the United States. According to CCTV military reports on the 21st, citing Taiwan media, senior officials of Taiwan’s defense department confirmed in Taiwan’s legislature on the 19th that Taiwan is seeking US approval to sell AGM-158 missiles. This is the first time that the Taiwan military has recently publicly confirmed that it is seeking to purchase air-launched long-range precision strike weapons from the United States. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China has repeatedly reiterated that the US arms sales to the Taiwan region seriously violated the “One China” principle and the three Sino-US joint communiqués, grossly interfered in China’s internal affairs, seriously undermined China’s sovereignty and security interests, and sent wrong statements to the “Taiwan independence” separatist forces. The signal seriously damages Sino-US relations and peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. China firmly opposes this. The M109A6 self-propelled howitzer equipped by the US military. What are the considerations behind Biden’s first arms sales to Taiwan? Taiwan’s “United Daily News” reported on the 19th that the Taipei Office of the “American Institute in Taiwan” notified Taiwan in March, and the US Department of Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) will shortly notify Taiwan on Taiwan’s procurement of the M109A6 self-propelled howitzer. Announcement of Congress procedures; and this year, Taiwan will negotiate agreements with the United States through multiple channels such as the “American Institute in Taiwan” Taipei Office and the Taipei Military Mission in the United States to discuss the content of the offer to jointly promote the case. It is understood that Taiwan plans to purchase 40 M109A6s. “This is also the first batch of arms sold by the Biden administration to Taiwan.” Taiwan’s land force plans to install them in batches from 2023 to 2025. Taiwan’s military decided to purchase M109A6 in 2019. Starting from 2020, it has set a budget of approximately NT$17.3 billion, because the main artillery equipment of Taiwan’s land-based artillery units has exceeded the age limit. According to relevant information released by the Taiwan region, Taiwan’s land armed forces are currently equipped with about 300 self-propelled howitzers. The models include M109A2, M109A5 and M110A2. The M109 series have a caliber of 155 mm and the M110 series are 203 mm self-propelled howitzers. “These are old-fashioned self-propelled artillery. The two M109s equipped in Taiwan use a 39-caliber 155mm artillery with a maximum range of only 30 kilometers and a low degree of automation.” Military expert Han Dong said, “At present, the world Advanced self-propelled howitzers have long been equipped with 52-caliber 155mm self-propelled howitzers, with a range generally exceeding 50 kilometers. They have autoloaders and new guided artillery shells, and have a high degree of automation. Taiwan’s self-propelled howitzers are already very backward.”

“Most of these self-propelled howitzers provided by the United States have been in service for more than 40 years, and some are still second-hand. The latest M109A5 also arrived in 1998, and the oldest M110A2 self-propelled howitzer has even been in service for more than 60 years and is an’antique’ equipment. “Han Dong said.

Taiwan’s “Defense Shutter” magazine once stated that Taiwan’s artillery has been ignored for a long time, and its main equipment is old. Even the relatively new M109 self-propelled artillery has been in service for more than 30 years. There are problems such as inconvenient maintenance, reduced integrity, and outdated performance. .

The M109A6 is an active self-propelled howitzer in the U.S. Army. Compared with the M109A5 artillery, the biggest difference is that the current mainstream 52-caliber 155mm artillery is used. The range has been increased. If the extended-range projectile is used, the range can reach 30 kilometers. The “Sword” precision-guided projectile has a range of up to 40 kilometers. In addition, the gun adopts a semi-automatic loading mechanism and a fire control system, and the degree of automation, rate of fire and firing accuracy have been further improved.

If the Biden administration conducts its first arms sales to Taiwan in the near future, the time will be earlier than that of former President Trump’s first arms sales to Taiwan. Jiang Chunliang, a researcher at the Academy of Military Sciences, believes that the arms sold to Taiwan this time are self-propelled artillery. Compared with some offensive weapons, the military stimulus is relatively small. It is an arms sale with more political significance than military significance, because the time has advanced. It shows that the Biden administration is likely to play the “Taiwan card” more and more. It can be said that the weapons are average and the provocations are not small.

“Biden’s first arms sales to Taiwan ahead of schedule are in response to the demands of domestic anti-China elements and military industrial enterprises, and it is also the implementation of the “National Security Strategy Interim Guidelines” released last month.” Jiang Chunliang told The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) ), “This is (intent) to tell the anti-China forces in the United States that the Biden administration will continue to play the’Taiwan card’ and pay more attention to the strategy of’using Taiwan to control China’ so that it can gain more chips.”

On April 7, the US guided missile destroyer “McCain” crossed the Taiwan Strait. Less than three months after Biden came to power, US warships have crossed the Taiwan Strait four times. The frequency and number of times are relatively rare.

Military expert Han Dong told The Paper that the 40 M109A6 self-propelled howitzers have limited firepower to Taiwan’s military, and the weapons that Taiwan military needs most to enhance air and sea dominance, such as long-range air-to-surface missiles, fifth-generation stealth fighters, stealth drones, Submarine and “Aegis” battleship. Without air supremacy, these land warfare weapons will all become the targets of fighters.

Regarding the US arms sales to Taiwan, China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has repeatedly reiterated that US arms sales to Taiwan seriously violated the “One China” principle and the three Sino-US Joint Communiqués, especially the provisions of the August 17 Communiqué, which grossly interfered in China’s internal affairs. Serious damage to China’s sovereignty and security interests, sending wrong signals to the “Taiwan independence” separatist forces, and serious damage to Sino-US relations and peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. China firmly opposes this. China urges the U.S. to abide by the one-China principle and the three Sino-U.S. joint communiqués, stop arms sales to Taiwan and US-Taiwan military ties, and immediately cancel the arms sales plan to Taiwan, so as not to cause damage to Sino-U.S. relations and peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. Further damage.

AGM-158 missile

Taiwan seeks more offensive weapons

In addition to purchasing new self-propelled howitzers from the United States, Taiwan is also actively seeking long-range air-launched cruise missiles from the United States. The senior officials of Taiwan’s defense department confirmed that Taiwan is seeking US approval to sell the AGM-158 missile. All announced Taiwan-US military purchases are progressing normally.

This is the first time that the Taiwan military has recently publicly confirmed that it is seeking to purchase air-launched long-range precision strike weapons from the United States.

According to the “Voice of America” ​​report, AGM-158 is considered to be one of the most advanced air-launched cruise missiles in the world, with a range of 370 kilometers, developed and manufactured by Lockheed Martin. This missile is designed to destroy high-value, well-defense, fixed and mobile targets, and the carrier can launch attacks outside the opponent’s ground air defense system. AGM-158 also has a stealth capability and can fight around the clock, day and night. The models that can carry this missile include Taiwan’s existing F-16 fighters.

“This missile is one of the main weapons used by the U.S. military to strike high-value targets of its opponents. It will not be easily sold to the outside world. It is currently approved for sale to a few countries including Japan.” Military expert Han Dong pointed out, “The AGM-158 missile is the most worthwhile. The two places of concern are the long range, the extended range can even reach thousands of kilometers, and the stealth design, which has strong penetration capabilities, and the threat is still relatively large.”

“It is worth mentioning that the U.S. military has also developed the AGM-158C missile capable of dealing with large ships such as aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships. This missile is an improved version of the U.S. extended-range missile AGM-158B with a range of more than 500 kilometers. The area obtains this kind of missile, the anti-ship capability will be greatly improved.” Han Dong said.

During the Trump era, a major trend in US arms sales to Taiwan was to provide more and more offensive weapons. In October last year, the US State Department approved the sale of weapons and equipment worth more than 1.8 billion US dollars to Taiwan, including the “Hamas” high-mobility rocket launcher system, the “Slam”-ER extended-range air-to-surface missile and the MS-110 reconnaissance pod. Wait.

The most concerned of these weapons for sale are the “Hamas” rocket launcher and the “Slam”-ER air-to-surface missile. The “Hamas” rocket launcher will be equipped with ATACMS ballistic missiles (Army Tactical Missile System). This is the first time that the United States sold the “Lance” ballistic missile to the Taiwan region in the 1970s and provided this weapon again after more than 40 years.

The “New York Times” of the United States pointed out in an earlier article that the most sensitive batch of arms sales to Taiwan is the “Slam”-ER air-to-surface missile, which is improved from the Harpoon anti-ship missile. Mounted on Taiwan’s F-16 fighter, it can strike land and sea targets 300 kilometers away, even after launching, the target can still be changed. Its precision strike capability was once rated as the smallest error among US naval weapons.

Before the AGM-158 “Jasm” air-to-surface cruise missile was equipped with the U.S. Navy on a large scale, the “Slam”-ER was the main weapon of the U.S. Navy’s off-zone strike, with the advantages of long range and high accuracy. A few countries such as South Korea and Turkey have purchased the missile, and they all regard the missile as a “strategic-level” strike weapon.

“We have good hedging measures in 2021, but the pressure in 2022 is increasing, so prices must rise.” Quincy said that Coca-Cola intends to “wisely” manage price increases, such as using different packaging. It gives consumers different price choices, but it has not disclosed the specific products that will increase prices. It is reported that the last time the company announced a price increase was in 2018.

On April 19, The Coca-Cola Company announced its corporate financial report for the first quarter of 2021.

Regarding the price increase of Coca-Cola, Chinese food industry analyst Zhu Danpeng explained that the price increase of Coke may lead to a general increase in the beverage industry. In the case of rising raw material costs, small and medium-sized enterprises will fall into a “dilemma” if they do not follow the trend and increase prices. Shuffle or start from here.

How will the price increase affect consumers? Zhu Danpeng believes that the current domestic consumption upgrade trend is obvious. There are many high-priced products in the beverage industry. The price increase of Coca-Cola is generally only a few cents, which has limited impact on consumers. The public is more sensitive to brands and categories.

Netizens have different opinions, “According to the current level of productivity, Coke is really not expensive, right? There are too many drinks worth five, six, seven, eighty or ninety yuan, and Coke is considered a cheap drink.” “The price has also increased, and it is also carbonated. Drinks, I’d better drink Pepsi.”

On April 19, Changan Automobile (000625.SZ) released its 2020 annual performance report, achieving operating income of 84.566 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 19.79%, reaching a historical peak; achieving a net profit of 3.324 billion yuan, a year-on-year turnaround; net profit after deduction The profit still lost 3.25 billion yuan.

And in the first quarter of 2021, Changan Automobile surpassed Geely in sales of its own brand passenger vehicles.

However, behind the dazzling sales volume, Changan Automobile still has performance anxiety.

Behind the merger of “1Malaysia”, the status of joint venture brands is declining

In the history of Changan Automobile’s joint venture, there have been Suzuki, Peugeot Citroen, Mazda, Ford, etc., but Changan Suzuki and Changan Peugeot Citroen have become history, leaving only Changan Mazda and Changan Ford.

According to the production and sales report of Changan Automobile in the first quarter of 2021, the sales of Changan Ford and Changan Mazda were 64,400 and 29,300 respectively. In 2020, the total sales volume of the two joint ventures, Changan Ford and Changan Mazda, was only 500,000, and the total sales volume of the joint venture was one-fourth of the total sales volume of Changan Automobile.

It is understood that in 2016, Changan Automobile’s net profit was 10.3 billion yuan, and Changan Automobile’s net profit from Changan Ford was as high as 9.1 billion yuan, accounting for 88% of Changan Automobile’s net profit. In 2017, the profit ratio was 85%. It can be said that Changan Ford is the main force in the profitability of Changan Automobile.

By 2020, Changan Ford’s net profit is only 15.7534 million yuan, and the income has been left behind by Changan’s own brand. Compared with Changan Ford, Changan Mazda is in a better position. Changan Automobile has gained 724 million yuan in revenue, but it is also facing a decline in gross profit and profit.

It is worth noting that there are recent rumors that Changan Mazda and FAW Mazda will merge. Mazda (China) told GPLP Rhino Finance that it has not heard of this news and will not comment on speculative reports by individual media.

However, Changan Automobile is making every effort to promote the development of its own brands, and the importance of joint venture brands to Changan Automobile has declined.

The high-end market has just started, and new energy vehicles are still lacking

It is understood that Changan Automobile now owns Changan Automobile, Auchan Automobile, Kaicheng Automobile and other independent automobile brands, and produces and sells joint venture brand models through joint ventures Changan Ford and Changan Mazda.

The product lineup includes CS series, Yidong series, UNI, Auchan series, Shenqi series, etc.; joint venture brands include Fox, Forex, Sharp, Sharp, explorer, adventurer, Angkerra, CX-5, CX-8, CX-30 and other products.

However, it can be found that without Changan Ford and Changan Mazda, there is no product in the Changan Automobile product camp for the high-end market. Domestic independent brand manufacturers are already deploying in the high-end market. Great Wall Motor has WEY and Geely Automobile has also established Lynk & Co. These two brands have received good market feedback.

In contrast, Changan Automobile launched the new CS75Plus in the fourth quarter of 2019, and since the launch of the UNI-T model in the second quarter of 2020, and in March 2021, Changan Automobile’s high-end mid-size SUV UNI-K was launched, but these products have yet to show signs of going out. . Changan Automobile’s high-end transformation has a long way to go.

In addition, subject to the policies of the new energy industry, the decline of financial subsidies, the new energy double points system (the proportion of new energy vehicles is further expanded, and the new energy points of bicycles are reduced by 20%-40%), and the issuance of domestic industry standards, Changan Automobile needs to increase its R&D investment in battery safety application research, big data monitoring, on-board alarms, and thermal runaway suppression. It is understood that Changan Automobile’s R&D investment in 2020 will be 4.142 billion yuan.

At present, Changan Automobile has built new energy models such as Yidong EV, New Benben EV and CS15EV. However, according to the annual report, Changan Automobile will sell 34,926 new energy passenger vehicles in 2020, and 2,187 new energy commercial vehicles. Its new energy vehicle sales account for less than 4% of its total sales.

However, it is understood that in May 2020, Changan Automobile increased its capital in Changan Weilai New Energy Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. After the capital increase was completed, Changan Weilai New Energy Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. changed from a joint venture to a subsidiary. At the same time, it is reported that Changan Automobile, Huawei and CATL will jointly build high-end electric smart brands and enter the field of new energy vehicles.

At the Shanghai International Auto Show on April 19, Changan Automobile also announced that it will launch 26 new smart electric vehicles in the next five years. The first two smart electric vehicles will be unveiled this year.

However, in the eyes of the outside world, regardless of the high-end brand or the new energy transformation, Changan Automobile is always slower than its peers.

According to the Department of Planning and Investment (Ministry of Transport), by April 2021, the Ministry of Transport has disbursed 6,821 billion VND out of a total of 42,996 billion VND, reaching 16% of the year plan. The disbursement result for the first 4 months, although higher than the same period in 2020, shows the performance of transport enterprises, but the disbursement value is mostly contract advance, the actual construction volume is not much. . The material mixing plant at My Thuan 2 bridge project is waiting for construction materials. In addition to Thang Long Project Management Board (PMU Thang Long), PMU My Thuan has the highest disbursement result of the Ministry of Transport, having disbursed VND 4,099 / 9,710 billion (concentrated in Phan Thiet- expressway project). Dau Giay ensures progress), reaching 42.2% of the delivery plan and 945 / 3,072 billion, reaching 30.8% of the delivery plan (focusing on the projects connecting National Highway (NH) 91, Long bypass Xuyen, My Thuan-Can Tho expressway, renovation of Tan Son Nhat airport runway to ensure progress), other PMUs have disbursement results lower than the average of the transport sector or delayed. For example, the PMU of Dak Lak Transport and Rural Development Works was assigned 250 billion VND, the disbursement plan registered by the end of April 2021 was 178.6 billion VND, but until now, it has only reached 15.4 billion VND. contract, reaching 6.2% of the plan or projects such as: My Thuan 2 Bridge, Upgrading NH53, Upgrading NH24, Upgrading NH25, Improvement of Highway 27, Section to bypass Lien Khuong … are all behind schedule. The road leading to My Thuan 2 bridge is waiting for the volume of soil, rock and sand to load the load. It is noteworthy that the North-South Expressway component project Mai Son-QL45 section still has many problems in the ground, the locality has not handed over to the construction contractor, seriously affecting the progress. The project is still entangled with about 2 km of un-handed ground. Other high-speed projects such as 2 new component projects converted to public investment (QL45-Nghi Son and Nghi Son-Dien Chau) are holding bidding to select construction contractors to start construction at the latest in June. / 2021; Three component projects implemented in PPP form (Dien Chau-Bai Vot, Nha Trang-Cam Lam, Cam Lam-Vinh Hao are still in contract negotiation stage, expected to start in the second quarter of 2021. “Ultimatum” Facing this fact, at the meeting of counting progress of urgent projects recently by the Ministry of Transport, Minister Nguyen Van The affirmed, did not accept the status of the project behind schedule and there will be strong solutions to rectify businesses. Especially, a number of projects invested by the locality are “sluggish”, if there are no soon solutions to speed up construction progress, disbursement of capital, the Ministry will not assign any more projects. next time. Highway 53 is stuck with construction materials. “PMU who is slow should pay early, must transfer immediately, not let the situation of holding capital and disbursing slowly. The project is behind schedule, poor disbursement is directly related to the leadership capacity of the PMUs and must immediately handle the responsibilities of the PMU leaders “, Minister Nguyen Van The emphasized. Particularly for North-South expressway projects, “Industry Commander” requires the Ministry’s management agencies to urgently work with investors, PMU review and adjust the capital of projects. , ensuring to follow the disbursement plan of the industry. Especially, the PMU of Ho Chi Minh Road and the Department of Transport of Ninh Binh urgently direct and attach responsibility to the contractors for the two slow-moving high-speed projects, namely Cam Lo-La Son and Cao Bo-Mai Son. The North-South Expressway of Cam Lo-La Son section is facing land clearance. For 3 projects commenced simultaneously from September 30, 2020: Mai Son-QL45, Vinh Hao-Phan Thiet, Phan Thiet-Dau Giay are having problems with construction materials, Minister Nguyen Van The directs. direct the PMU to directly coordinate with local authorities to come to the material mines to remove solutions for price, capacity of exploitation, service road … to ensure the completion of construction progress. “The demand for construction materials for the North-South expressway is about 60.7 million m3 of soil, 21.5 million m3 of rock and 10.8 million m3 of sand. meeting the supply volume according to the project schedule Many mines have expired, are waiting for renewal of licenses, while some private mines are not ready to sign contracts to wait for prices to go up. … These issues need to be solved soon ”, said Mr. Le Quyet Tien, Deputy Director of Traffic Construction Management and Quality (Ministry of Transport).

Let me sleep well Let me go to the market to buy betel lime Buying lime at Quan and Cau markets Buy Bat Nhi betel nut, buy betel Hoi An Only to buy betel and areca to form the betel and areca dish of the women, but we have to go to three places to go to Quan market, Cau market to buy quickly, go through Bat Nhi Dien Ban to buy areca and then turn back to Hoi An to have green betel. So I just told about the long thunderstorm of the boat market and the demand for shopping of the Vietnamese people from the past so far is difficult to change. Going to the countryside market means right from the moment you enter the market gate, a few baskets with a few vegetables cut from the garden, a few dozen scrambled eggs in a nest, a little green green beans, a bit of smooth bitter vegetables has been the beginning of the idea of ​​buying. sell. Because those are the home grown items, or now say homemade food, each with a little and less copies. The country pork shopkeeper smiled brightly Buying these items, buyers like catching gifts, like being given favorite gifts. The bitter melon fruit, like it is not big enough, or the pickled fruit of the pass, promises the honestly grown vegetables of the mother in the countryside. That is the beginning of the market, going to the end of the market still does not stop choosing food, because everything is needed for the menu on the table even though it is too long. Hoi An chili sauce hot pot, soft high-rise cake, brown rice paper sandwiches but the section with only five fingers spread out, why not buy, simply because it is very compact, easy to carry, easy to carry … How many items in the idea are lurking around. Steamed fish, a special product found in remote markets The countryside market is a market in which you can freely fly with a variety of dishes and drinks as you wish. The most favorite is the markets near the river wharf. Hoi An is at the beginning of the market as the old town at the end of the river market, fresh and green seafood that you want, whatever you want, shrimp and fish, you like to buy. Going down from the city, Thanh Ha market likes, Thanh Ha Bridge is like an arc embracing the fresh river market in the countryside. The original capital for walking around the countryside is deeply rooted in every country. Coming to the country, in addition to the hobby of shopping at the supermarket often, going to farmer’s markets, the fair in the warm sunny season is also open regularly. Wild honey and grilled beeswax were found at the market in Laos – Bolaven plateau, southern Laos Residents in the area are very eager to go shopping at the farmers’ markets because there are many strange, local and local products that are very high, unlike anywhere else. Homemade cakes with hand-made yeast dough recipes, honey bottles that only look at them, I think of the grasslands of immense flowers. The warm, fresh milk, as if brought from the field out there with the lovely girls in scarf … The countryside market is not only associated with wet rice residents. The original nature in each person has a peasant bloodline that exists despite the world 5.0 or 10.0 …

Through the Win32k vulnerability, hackers can gain access to your computer and have full control over the device, however, this requires user interaction. Security researcher Boris Larin at Kaspersky Labs said the vulnerability was exploited by a group of hackers called BITTER APT. Other vulnerabilities such as the Windows NTFS denial of service vulnerability have not been actively exploited. But Microsoft notes that they have been publicly disclosed, meaning everyone knows about them. To limit attack, users should update the operating system as soon as possible by clicking on the Start menu and selecting Settings – Security & Update – Windows Update – Check for Updates. Recently, Google has just released two patches for Chrome browser on the computer, although they do not provide detailed information, both vulnerabilities are labeled “high” and have been exploited by hackers.

In addition to a number of corporations such as Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics of South Korea and Huawei of China, most recently, Apple (the US technology corporation) also announced to recruit engineers to participate in research and development. to develop wireless technology next generation 5G. According to current research directions, the theoretical speed of 6G network will be one Tb / s, about 100 times higher than the theoretical speed of the 5G network (10 Gb / s). The new technology will also have broad coverage and be more energy efficient than the previous generation. Most importantly, 6G hopes to solve the limitations of current 5G networks. Specifically, even though it is considered as an Internet of Things (IoT) network, 5G still has a long way to go to achieve universal universality due to its limited ability to transmit signals at a height of many thousand meters. ground or deep below the ground or seabed. Meanwhile, 6G is research-oriented to meet both intelligent connectivity, deep connection, heterogeneous connection and everywhere. On the other hand, although 5G network has helped people make good use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology to optimize, distribute resources and process data, the forecast 6G network can do better by making AI becomes intelligent with the processing speed close to the human brain. 6G will integrate the new physical, digital, and services worlds to deliver stricter network performance metrics (KPIs) than 5G. However, the development of 6G networks is still just beginning and the end result will depend on speed of deployment and consensus on the technologies to deliver the ultimate standard. Experts say that the next 10 years will be a period for research and 6G will start to be commercialized from 2030. In the process of deploying previous generations of mobile networks such as 2G, 3G or 4G, Vietnam often lags behind the world. As for 5G networks, we are now starting to perform tests with the expectation of entering the first groups of countries to deploy the technology. But according to experts, in fact, Vietnam is still quite far away from the world in terms of research capacity and deployment methods in the telecommunications sector. Therefore, even though all countries have the same opportunity in terms of time to lead the research and deployment of 6G networks, not all countries have enough potential in science, technology as well as finance. join the race for core technology of 6G right now. Instead of racing to research core technologies, we should take advantage of other existing strengths to catch this wave, such as: Focusing on research and production of terminals for 6G; researching in-depth in the control and optimization of the 6G network system; research on AI technology for management system, data processing in 6G network system; blockchain security research (blockchain) … to solve the safety problem in the new network system. This may be a medium and viable market for Vietnam in the future.

Starting next year, Hyundai Motor and Kia will launch pure electric vehicles in China every year.

Hyundai and Kia fell out of TOP15 sales in the first quarter

As we all know, China, as the world’s fastest-growing economy, has become the world’s largest auto market. Here, there are the world’s largest and youngest consumer groups and the most complex and diverse car-using scenes. The so-called Chinese market wins the world, but in the past few years, due to political factors, superimposed product strength, quality reputation and other multiple reasons, Korean brands have been difficult to improve in recent years. According to the March sales statistics of the National Travel Association, no matter whether it is at the level of car companies or the models of various market segments, the sales TOP15 list can not find the names of two Korean companies and related products. In the 2020 annual report released by BAIC Group, although it did not disclose the specific revenue and gross profit of its joint venture Beijing Hyundai, the announcement revealed that Beijing Hyundai’s terminal sales volume was 502,000, which has been declining for 4 years. In contrast, Dongfeng Yueda Kia’s situation is slightly better. The brand officially announced that the sales volume in 2020 will be 249,300 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 2.6%.

It can be said that if Hyundai and Kia do not make changes, their prospects will be even more bleak under the trend that their own brands continue to rise.

Therefore, Hyundai Kia has proposed four core strategies, which can be simplified into four aspects. First, further strengthen localized R&D and launch exclusive high-quality products and services for Chinese consumers; second, import exclusive electric vehicle products recognized by the global market into the Chinese market; third, make full use of them to start earlier Promoting the transformation and upgrading of joint venture brands to become a brand favored by Chinese consumers.

The R&D center will focus on the current four disruptive technology development directions-autonomous driving, interconnection technology, electrification and shared travel, and accelerate the digital transformation of Hyundai and Kia in China. At the same time, Beijing Hyundai and Dongfeng Yueda Kia will also carry out business innovation in all links including production, sales and marketing, focusing on the needs of local users.

In response to the major changes in the electrification of the global automotive industry, Hyundai and Kia will simultaneously develop all new energy models including hybrid, plug-in hybrid, pure electric and hydrogen fuel cells. In 2020, sales of Hyundai and Kia plug-in hybrid models and pure electric vehicles ranked fourth in the world. In December 2020, Hyundai·Kia created E-GMP, a global modular platform for electrification. The strategic products IONIQ 5 and Kia EV6 respectively launched by Hyundai and Kia are based on this E-GMP platform. Hyundai Motor’s IONIQ 5 received 18,000 orders in just one hour in Korea’s pre-sale, breaking the local pre-sale record of the Korean car brand. Kia’s EV6 orders reached 21,016 on the day the pre-sales officially opened in South Korea, reaching 162% of the 2021 sales target. As for the Chinese market, Hyundai Kia has made it clear that it will accelerate the pace of new electric vehicle launches.

Starting next year, Hyundai Motor and Kia will launch pure electric vehicles in China every year. IONIQ (艾尼氪) 5. EV6 will be introduced one after another, and a dedicated pure electric model for the Chinese market will be launched. By 2030, Hyundai Motor and Kia plan to increase the number of new energy products in China to 21 models, covering hybrid vehicles and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.

E-GMP, an electrified global modular platform built by Hyundai and Kia

In particular, Hyundai and Kia have made great efforts in the R&D and application of hydrogen fuel cell technology in recent years. As the first company to mass-produce hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, the world’s first hydrogen fuel cell dedicated model NEXO was launched in 2018. In the field of commercial vehicles, the first mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell heavy truck XCIENT Fuel Cell has also achieved commercial operation in Switzerland. At the end of last year, Hyundai Motor also released the exclusive brand HTWO for hydrogen fuel cell systems. At the same time, they also introduced their hydrogen fuel cell technology to China. The group’s first overseas hydrogen fuel cell system production and sales base “HTWO Guangzhou” is expected to be officially completed in the second half of 2022, and the total investment is expected to reach 8.5 billion yuan by 2030. RMB (including factory operating expenses). This will be the first plant named after Hyundai’s hydrogen fuel cell exclusive brand “HTWO”, and it will also be China’s first large-scale hydrogen fuel cell system production dedicated plant.

At the brand level, Beijing Hyundai will continue to implement the “HSMART+” technology brand strategy and develop into an innovative brand focusing on smart experience. Through innovative technologies in the three areas of environmentally friendly travel, connected travel and free travel, it will provide consumers with a new travel experience . As for Dongfeng Yueda Kia, it will simultaneously become a fashionable and young mobile travel brand. During the Shanghai Auto Show a few days later, in addition to all Kia models equipped with new logos, Dongfeng Yueda Kia will also fully upgrade its dealer network based on new standards, and deploy high-end direct experience centers and specialty city experience stores in major cities across the country.

The US pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson is postponing the launch of its vaccine in Europe. Reports of sinus vein thrombosis have been received and the decision has therefore been made to delay, the company said. The cases would now be investigated with experts and the authorities. The US health authority CDC and the FDA had previously recommended a temporary suspension of vaccinations with the Johnson & Johnson active ingredient. Six people in the US were diagnosed with sinus vein thrombosis between six and 13 days after vaccination, the authorities said in a joint statement. In three cases, thrombocytopenia, i.e. a lack of blood platelets, also occurred. They are women between the ages of 18 and 48 years.

Inoculated more than 6.8 million doses

According to the authorities, more than 6.8 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine have been administered in the United States to date. The vaccine, of which only one dose is sufficient for vaccination protection, received US approval at the end of February. The now recommended suspension of vaccinations is a precautionary measure until exact results are available, said the CDC and FDA.

No decision for Germany

A spokesman for the federal health department said they had not yet decided how to proceed after the US warnings. “We always take such warnings seriously and follow them up.” The spokesman also referred to the responsibility of the Paul Ehrlich Institute.

Binh Dinh and Quang Ngai have agreed the route plan

Mr. Nguyen Phong, Director of Quang Ngai Department of Transport, said that the locality has completed the planning of the route and is agreed by the Ministry of Transport, including the starting point at km130 + 800 expressways of Da Nang – Quang Ngai, in Nghia Dien commune (district Tu Nghia, Quang Ngai province) and the end point intersects Provincial Highway 629, in Bong Son town (Hoai Nhon, Binh Dinh).

On the Binh Dinh province side, Mr. Nguyen Tu Cong Hoang, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee said that the North-South expressway project through Binh Dinh province was agreed by the Ministry of Transport to be divided into 3 component projects, including: Quang Ngai – Hoai Nhon Project, Hoai Nhon – Quy Nhon Project and Quy Nhon – Tuy Hoa Project (Phu Yen Province).

“There are two directions presented to the leaders of the province and the Ministry of Transport. In which, option 1 builds a route to the east (about 3-4 km from National Highway 1), 110 km long and option 2 builds a western direction (about 12-35 km from National Highway 1) 113 km long. “, Mr. Hoang said.

Through analysis, the two investment plans have their own advantages and disadvantages. However, if done according to option 1, the distance between the expressway to economic zones, industrial clusters and city center. Quy Nhon will be closer, convenient to connect traffic, promote the development of industries in many fields, create a driving force for socio-economic development.

“Option 1 is in line with the planning and development orientation of Binh Dinh to 2035, with a vision to 2050. Therefore, Binh Dinh chooses the plan to build the North-South expressway across the area according to the direction of the Eastern route “, Mr. Hoang emphasized.

According to Deputy Minister of Transport Le Anh Tuan, the fact that Quang Ngai has agreed on the route is an important premise for the project to continue the implementation steps. As for Binh Dinh, the Ministry of Transport has asked the province to continue to work closely with the consultant and the Ministry of Transport to survey the entire North-South expressway through the area, at the same time providing more data related to the locality. project selected by the province.

In a time sharing with the students of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, hero Pham Tuan said that it only took him one year and three months to prepare, including studying engineering and physical training, for the flight. This time is shortened compared to pilots from other countries, because before that he was a pilot of a military fighter plane.

When the ship was just launched, people lost the attraction of the earth so the blood did not circulate normally, but put more head on the head. At that time, his face was swollen from the blood rushing to his head. Three days later, the face was pressed down so a layer of skin was removed. He lost sleep for several days, his mind was always in a state of tension.

Moving and working on a spaceship is very difficult. Eating and drinking is also miserable when they only have dry food prepared like toothpaste to eat and drink two liters of water a day.

Talking about the feeling of seeing the earth from outer space, hero Pham Tuan said it was a rare and unforgettable feeling.

“At that time, it was not Vietnam, the Soviet Union or any other country, but the earth was the home of the pilots. The happiest of pilots was that after working hours, there was a few minutes of rest and thinking. about the earth, family, relatives, “he said.

On April 10, Real Madrid defeated Barca in a super classic match. It was also the match that Zidane had to use a series of “B class” players such as Alvaro Odriozola, Isco, Marcelo, Eder Militao.

Answering the reporters, the French legend could not hide his anxiety. He is afraid the home team “runs out of battery”. After the super classic match, Real Madrid had to move to Merseyside to meet Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the Champions League second leg.

Distracted Zidane?

Zidane’s real suffered many physical and mental losses from the beginning of the season. A ruthless storm of trauma swept the headquarters of the club, causing the team to lose people consecutively.

“Los Blancos” shuffled it. Each time, Zidane received criticism. He was also questioned by President Perez after a bad start in the Champions League group stage.

Amidst the storm, the fate “Zizou” is still saved. Stars like Karim Benzema, Luka Modric or Toni Kroos … have “loaded” all the best qualities to pull the teacher out of the quagmire.

However, that also does not help the French legend get rid of skepticism. At one point, everything seemed to shut down for Zidane. He had to “hide” in the dressing room.

The relationship between the French rulers and President Perez is said to be no longer salty. That partly comes from the controversy related to central defender Sergio Ramos.

The Real Madrid star informed Zidane that he had to undergo surgery and needed 6-8 weeks of rest. The French strategist is said to have not communicated with the club.

The move of “Zizou” further divided his relationship with other high-ranking figures. At that time, everyone said that the former “Les Bleus” player was very passionate about the team.

Immediately, a warning bell about Zidane’s future rang out in the Bernabeu courtyard. The French legend still has a contract with the club until June 2022, but that does not guarantee anything.

During his first term at Real Madrid, “Zizou” left the club before the binding effect ended. That was 2018, not long after the Champions League final.

Zidane and President Perez once existed a close relationship, but there was a time when the most powerful man representing Madrid “fell in love” with captain of the team.

President Perez is even said to probe the situation of coaches like Max Allegri, Antonio Conte, Julian Nagelsmann and Joachim Loew … If Real Madrid slips, a ruthless decision could be made by the club’s super-head. given.

Zidane understands that. In recent days, thoughts in this ruler have started to shake. After winning Liverpool in the quarterfinals of the first leg of the Champions League, the French legend said: “Back to leading Juventus? That place is still important to me.

But now I’m coaching the best football team in the world and I feel lucky. ”

Zidane always has plans B. In January, before the match against Celta Vigo, former Juventus star said: “You can sign a 10-year contract here (Real Madrid – PV), but tomorrow you can leave completely. On the contrary, you can sign a year and stay for a long time.

El Confidencial for that “Zizou” mind began to flutter. The 48-year-old strategist no longer holds a firm stance. Specifically, Zidane is looking for another opportunity if the club no longer needs him.

The value of Zidane

At Real Madrid, cruelty is everywhere. The world doesn’t stop for one person either. Zidane is very good, but not bigger than the team. Outside of President Perez’s office, many candidates were willing to wait for the opportunity.

Zidane is unique. On ESPN, journalist Mark Ogden once described the excitement of “Zizou” in that he knows how to solve problems. On the field, the French captain always finds the formula to win.

The French strategist has done that. From Madrid to Anfield, Zidane’s Real Madrid subdued Liverpool and Barca, respectively. “Los Blancos” did that even when Cristiano Ronaldo left the club, famous midfield pair Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane were sidelined for different reasons.

Zidane also has a close relationship and is in regular contact with Kylian Mbappe, the target of President Perez. El Confidencial revealed “Zizou” persuaded his compatriot striker to go to Madrid, and Mbappe fell in love.

Recently, France Football said Mbappe refused to renew his contract with PSG. He wants to wear a Real Madrid shirt “at request from Zidane”. Kylian Mbappe even refused 3 offers to extend the contract that the Parc des Princes team made.

If Mbappe goes to Real Madrid, it is because he wants to work with Zidane. A few days ago, President Perez was re-elected and will run the club until 2025. The most powerful man in the team will have many projects to do.

The Madrid representative’s plan could be broken if Zidane is no longer there. Up to now, the French legend has not yet confirmed whether he will continue to stick or break up with “Los Blancos”. This worries President Perez.

On the morning of April 15, Zidane put on a patchwork, if not the worst, squad to face Liverpool at Anfield. At the end of the match, the representative of Madrid completed the goal when they won a 0-0 draw, the score was enough to help the club reach the semi-finals.

Zidane humbly celebrates, and that is also a message to President Perez. Even without a really powerful squad, Real Madrid still advanced in the Champions League and was part of the race to win the La Liga championship.

If President Perez handed Mbappe striker Mbappe to Zidane, Real Madrid would have created even more interesting things. For the most powerful man in the team, “Zizou” is the club’s priceless treasure. Keeping this military leader, the team is also close to owning Mbappe.

Casemiro is the best Real match against Liverpool The Brazilian defensive midfielder possesses impressive statistics on the day Zinedine Zidane’s team eliminated Liverpool from the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

The controversial “choose 1 in 2” strategy in the past five years in China has finally become qualitative in imposing monopolistic business practices, and Alibaba has become the first “victim” to gender. This country’s official “stunned”.

Penalties of up to 18,288 billion yuan ($ 2.8 billion) issued by China’s State Market Supervision Department against Alibaba account for 4% of the group’s 2019 revenue.

The group of billionaire Jack Ma has continuously encountered bad luck in recent times.

Not merely a punishment, the meaning of the case went far beyond its original purpose. This is said to be a warning to the entire Internet industry in China, and the move also shows Beijing is accelerating its war of antitrust against big tech companies.

Alibaba: “Big trees catch the wind”

In fact, legal disputes over Alibaba’s monopoly conduct have long existed. Starting in November 2015, Alibaba’s “choose 1 in 2” policy under Jack Ma was accused of disrupting the e-commerce market and many platforms repeatedly called for a boycott of this behavior.

It was not until December 2020 that the State Market Administration of China conducted the first antitrust investigation and a final decision was made. Basically, Alibaba immediately expressed its attitude to cooperate with the authorities. “We recognize that today’s penalty is a warning and motivating us, it is a standard and concern for the industry’s development,” an Alibaba representative said in the Letter. customers and the public.

In the opinion of many market analysts, that penalty is inherently beneficial for Alibaba, because conservative policies in recent years have made them gradually lag in e-commerce. This also allows the Internet economic platform to re-focus on sustaining innovation, instead of relying on dominant positions to “protect” the market. More importantly, the warning for Alibaba will form a strong competitive advantage in the market in the future.

Other platforms started to be wary

In addition to warning Alibaba, the penalty serves as a deterrent to the entire Chinese internet industry. After all, the problem of monopoly is not limited to just one platform and with the current scale of operations, it is completely understandable that Alibaba is being targeted first.

Over the years, the platform economy has benefited from the rapid growth and popularity of the Internet. Based on the cumulative effect, the platforms quickly formed certain areas, especially e-commerce. Up to a certain stage, natural monopoly properties will arise and the larger the platform scale, the more obvious the advantage.

However, “if the platforms misuse this advantage, leading to the formation of unfair competition, the behavior is suspected to be illegal”, the punishment that the Administration Department oversees. China has proved it. Realizing the risk, many leading e-commerce platforms such as Taobao, Tmall, JD, 1688 … started to change policies to avoid becoming the next victim of the regulator.

The Internet antitrust campaign in China is accelerating

“This time Alibaba was fined and signaled that relevant departments had tightened antitrust oversight of the platform economy. I believe there will be other antitrust enforcement cases in the future, not just this one, “said a researcher at the Center for Intellectual Property Research, University of Political Science and Law.

In addition, strengthening antitrust and preventing capital expansion causing market disruption is also the Chinese government’s consistent attitude, which was specifically mentioned at the Central Economic Work Conference held. at the end of last year. However, from the development context over the years, the monopoly monitoring here still has a certain delay.

With the rapid development and changing of Internet economic platforms, law enforcement or administrative governance need to keep up with the times, forcing the Chinese authorities to speed up the antitrust war. This is expected to create fair competition and maintain standardized market vitality in the future.

According to the GQ, there is no standard skincare routine for everyone. Each person has a skin care tailored to his or her situation. Once you know your skin type, you can choose the products that are best for you.

Phillip Picardi pen shares how to create a skin care routine for men.
