The Government of the United States has recently issued a new provision for the All-American Motors Recharge Network, which requires that all electric vehicles that are subsidized by the United States federal Government be charged with filling power pillars and must be manufactured locally in the United States. Previously, the United States Government also indicated that infrastructure construction projects, such as roads, bridges, which are subsidized by the Government, require general construction materials such as “paints, bricks, timber”, as well as “United States goods”.

Experts expressed the view that the aggressive introduction of “United States manufacturing” in the United States would result in a significant increase in manufacturing costs, not only burn down inflation but also undermine economic efficiency. At the same time, the escalation of protectionism in the United States will continue to undermine trade partnerships and exacerbate the “creditation” of the United States in the field of international trade.

Purchase of United States goods

Following the introduction of a number of home-grown automobile subsidy policies, the United States Government has also begun to encourage the local manufacture of electric motor vehicles to fill power platoons. In recent days, the White House of the United States has issued a new regulation stating that all electric vehicle fillings funded by the two-party Infrastructure Building Act must be manufactured in the United States as of the day. At the same time, all steel or iron-based filling shells must be produced and assembled locally in the United States. By July 2024, 55 per cent of the fillings were manufactured in the United States.

Previously, the White House Management and Budget Office of the United States had issued a new policy guide indicating that infrastructure construction projects funded by the two-party Infrastructure Building Bill should be implemented with additional “wood, glass, plastics, plastics and cables manufactured in the United States”. According to the Japan Economic News, the policy guide is planned to elicit public opinion by mid-March and will be implemented.

Reuters stated that the United States Biparty Infrastructure Development Act had significantly increased the use of materials such as local steel in the United States capital project. Today, general construction materials such as “paints, bricks, timber” are also coming into the United States Government’s perspective.

In recent years, the United States Government has spared no effort to advance “United States manufacture”. In January 2021, the Government of the United States signed an Executive Order for the purchase of United States goods, which requires the Federal Government to procure more indigenous products and services. Since then, the United States Government has introduced a number of bills, such as the Chips and Science Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, to enhance the security of the United States supply chain by providing substantial investment and subsidies to indigenous high-end manufacturing industries involving products such as electric vehicles, semiconductors, solar panels, wind turbines.

In March 2022, the United States Government further upgraded the “United States purchase” administrative order, requiring that 55 per cent of government-procured products be made “in the United States”. In October 2022, the United States Government increased the proportion to 60 per cent, while proposing that it should reach 65 per cent in 2024 and 75 per cent in 2029.

“As policy advances, the United States support for indigenous manufacturing has been extended by so-called “critical areas” involving national economic security, to basic manufacturing and industrial products in general. Enabling instruments are also protected by trade and extend to the entire industrial chain, including investment.” Sun Peng, Deputy Fellow of the American Institute of Modern International Relations of China, in his interview with the press, stated that “This is essentially an upgrade of protectionism and a pan-dualization of the concepts of national security, economic security, with the aim of leaving industry and employment in the United States, but perhaps not as intended by the United States”.

Costs

The researcher of the Institute of Capital Development and Strategic Studies of the People’s University of China and Professor Lee Myung-what, Professor of the Institute of International Relations, said to the press that the United States infrastructure had been built in the 1950s, and that a large number of infrastructure had become obsolete and there was a need for upgrading and repair. At the same time, industrial transfers over the past 30 years have resulted in the fragmentation of manufacturing in the United States, with a contraction of middle class groups resulting from manufacturing booms. As a result, nearly all United States Governments are interested in reinvigorating local manufacturing industries, but none of them has achieved significant results. The current United States Government continues to increase its financial inputs and policy support in the hope of generating a return to manufacturing. However, it may be costly to radically pursue “United States manufacturing” in the second half of the ice freeze.

A number of United States media and businesses have expressed concern about the new policy on “United States manufacture”. According to the United States Atlantic Monthly News site, the New York City Transport Bureau spent $4.5 billion in the first phase of the construction of the second Avenue, New York, due to the implementation of the “United States manufacturing”, at a high cost of “weak”.

The United States Association of Construction Contractors issued a statement stating that the new White House proposal raised additional problems for contractors and business owners. “The construction industry in the United States is immediately going to the engineering season, but the Federal Government is continuing to create uncertainty.”

Pambo’s website was preceded by a dedicated article calling for all capital projects to be “made by the United States”, which was a bad idea for the United States. The existing infrastructure costs in the United States are already too high, and this approach will “increase additional costs without justification”. According to the article, the introduction of “United States manufacturing” will result in over-heating employment in low- and middle-end manufacturing in the United States and increase the cost of business. The combined increase in human and construction materials costs will further increase inflationary pressures, with broad implications for the United States economy.

“When Governments are heard, they can be understood as “a product that we want to spend additional money” or “a product that we want to buy in quality”. The United States Los Angeles Times web site nearly daily reports that all capital projects are “made by the United States” and are “conspiracy against American consumers and taxpayers”. Today, “national security” has been taken by the United States Government as a justification for the protection of high-technology industries. Some non-important industries are also essential for national security in order to obtain special treatment, “no such practices take into account economic factors”.

“The United States has a high labour cost, with a very limited comparative advantage in reinvigorating infrastructure and manufacturing by “United States manufacturing”. At the same time, the large-scale increase in construction investment by the United States Government will inevitably lead to higher inflation expectations, making it even more difficult to mitigate the long-running high inflation in the United States. It is also difficult to follow in the long term, with high costs contributing to the recovery of manufacturing, and financial enterprises and Republicans will not support this. If policy steps are too ambitious, busy construction may also lead to the winding-down of works.

It is reported that our regulation of ecological protection and biodiversity conservation have yielded positive results.

The first is the continuous strengthening of ecological protection regulation and biodiversity conservation top-level design. Preparation of the fourteenth Five-Year Ecological Protection Regulatory Plan, which defines the regional and regulatory priorities for ecological protection, further deepening and fine-tuning the “53111” ecological protection regulatory system. Issuance of the Eco-Protected Eco-Environmental Monitoring (Provisional) to regulate and guide the ecological protection of the ecological environment. Issuance of Guidance on the Removal of Ecological Environmental Issues in Protected Natural Areas at the National Level to further improve the system of regulation of the ecological environment of protected areas. Promote the development of the Major Engineering Implementation Programme for the Protection of Biodiversity and update the China Biodiversity Protection Strategy and Action Plan (2011-2030) to actively advance the biodiversity mainstreaming process.

The second is to further the demonstration of ecological civilization. Last year, the Ministry of the Environment continued its work on eco-civilization demonstration, selecting the sixth instalment of 106 eco-civilization model zones and 51 innovative bases for the practice of “The Greening Mountain is the Gold Hill”, in recognition of the 10 winners of the third China Ecological Civilization Award of 40 advanced collectives, 60 advanced individuals and “Green Chinese Yearers 2020-2021”.

The third is the strengthening of the monitoring of ecological protection of red lines and ecological protection rehabilitation. An eco-protected red line regulatory platform, which guides the pilot work of eco-protected red lines in the provinces of Tianjin, River North, Jiang, Sichuan and Ningh5 (municipality, district), establishes a regulatory process for ecological protection of suspected ecological damage to the red line, and upgrades active detection capabilities. Issuance of the Technical Guide for the Assessment of the Effectiveness of Ecological Protection Rehabilitation (pilot), which is being carried out by the Joint Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Natural Resources on an ongoing basis in the implementation of the Integrated Protection and Rehabilitation of Lake Chusei Yamada. The assessment of the national ecological situation change survey for 2015-2020, conducted by the Joint Central School, shows that the country’s ecosystem landscape is generally stable and ecologically stable.

The fourth is the continuous promotion of the ecological environmental regulation of natural protected areas. The system for the regulation of the ecological environment of natural protected areas is constantly being developed, remote sensing monitoring of human activities at the national level of natural conservation has been carried out, mechanisms have been established for the assessment of the effectiveness of ecological environmental protection in natural protected areas, the strengthening of surveillance of natural conservation in conjunction with the relevant departments, and the severe suppression of violations that undermine the ecological environment of natural protected areas. The number and size of the human focus of natural protected areas at the national level has been “two-way” and has largely reversed the trend towards the appropriation of the ecological environment in natural protected areas.

The fifteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity was successfully held. Last December, my country continued to lead the Conference as its Chair, guided by the theme of the General Assembly, “Eco-civilization: the establishment of the Earth’s Life Community”, to facilitate the successful convening of the second phase of the Conference in Montreal, Canada, to achieve a landmark package of documents, such as the “Kunmin-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework”, which contributed to the wisdom of China and the Chinese forces for global biodiversity governance.

It has been noted that, despite some achievements in ecological protection regulation, the ecological protection situation in my country remains critical, that the quality of ecosystems in local areas is prominent, that trends in loss of biodiversity have not been effectively curbed, that problems of ecological destruction continue to arise and that pressures and threats to ecological spaces from unreasonable exploitation of resources persist.

In the next step, the Ministry of the Environment, together with the relevant departments of the region, will learn in depth about the new deployments of the twenty major ecological protection efforts of the Party, the new requirements, the implementation of the “Kunmin-Montreal framework”, the in-depth implementation of major biodiversity conservation projects, the strengthening of ecological protection rehabilitation monitoring, the deepening of eco-civilization demonstration, the establishment of mechanisms for the improvement of the value of ecological products, the promotion of high-quality development, the creation of a high-quality life, and the provision of strong support to the beautiful China, which builds human harmony with nature.

“Aggressive tax practices will expose a business and its investors to stricter scrutiny from tax authorities and greater adjustment risks, making them more vulnerable when countries adjust their tax rules to protect their tax base from bad practices,” the investor wrote in the letter

Investors, including asset management companies nordea, Royal London and a number of large European and American pension funds, will require Amazon to issue transparency reports according to the tax standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).

Amazon has yet to comment.

The letter has been signed by more than 100 organizations, including the New York City Audit Office and the University pension plan, the UK’s largest private pension fund.

In December, the Greater Manchester pension fund and the Oblate International Pastoral investment trust also submitted a shareholder proposal urging Amazon to implement new GRI tax standards, including separate disclosure of financial, tax and employee information for each country.

But in terms of attention, folding mobile phones are undoubtedly the largest “seed player” of smart phones in recent years. IDC data show that by 2025, the market share of folding mobile phones will grow to 1.8%, and it is very likely to occupy one-third of the market of high-end Android phones.

In the smartphone market with slow growth in recent years, folding screen phones have made a hard way. In the past few years, Samsung, Microsoft, Huawei and other mobile phone manufacturers have launched relevant products, but the price of folding mobile phones in the market generally starts at 10000 yuan, which has slowed down the pace of expansion of folding mobile phones.

The most intuitive factor determining the price of folding mobile phones is production capacity. From the perspective of material cost, the display module and mechanical / electromechanical structure are the two largest costs. The flexible screen and hinge in these two parts are the key technologies for folding mobile phones, but the hinge and flexible screen technology are not yet mature.

In the secondary market, folding screen concept stocks also fell into a dull or even lower position. According to the statistics of securities times and databao, compared with the high point in recent one year, more than half of the folding screen concept stocks retreated by more than 30% St danbang, Yongtai technology, oak shares, Lansi technology, Baoming technology, ST star, Changjiang health and other stock prices were halved, and Lansi technology retreated by 55.37%.

The performance of folding mobile phones is still tepid, and the theme of folding screen has also been hyped repeatedly. With the performance forecast of Lansi technology, the company expects the net profit to decline by 59% to 51% year-on-year last year. The market continues to pour cold water. Is the concept of folding screen a bottom reading opportunity or a return of value?

Folding screen “virtual fire”?

Looking back on the commercialization of folding mobile phones, it is not difficult to find that the industry giant is not the first to get widespread attention in the market, but a rising star.

In October 2018, Rouyu Technology launched the world’s first folding mobile phone. The price of nearly 10000 yuan and the form of folding screen attracted the attention of all parties as soon as it was listed. This also allows mobile phone manufacturers trying to find the next popular model to see a new breakthrough. In 2019, mobile phone manufacturers Samsung, Huawei, Motorola and other domestic and foreign manufacturers listed at least one folding screen mobile phone.

Different from other mobile phone manufacturers, Rouyu technology is “deeply bound” with the folding screen, and its current precarious situation can better reflect the uncertainty of the folding mobile phone market.

In 2018, taking advantage of the wind of folding screen mobile phones, Rouyu technology was quickly known to the outside world. Public information shows that Rouyu technology has obtained too many rounds of financing. In 2020, the desire of Ruoyu technology for listing will become more and more obvious. It was first reported to be listed in the United States, and then it was revealed that it was considering an IPO in China. At the end of 2020, the Shanghai stock exchange accepted the listing application of Rouyu technology.

The prospectus shows that softwoo technology plans to raise RMB 14.4 billion. According to the calculation that the proportion of new shares to be issued in the issuance plan is no more than 25%, the post issuance valuation of the company is as high as 57.7 billion yuan. However, two months later, the Shanghai Stock Exchange terminated the listing audit of Ruoyu science and technology innovation board.

As for the reasons for terminating the listing, the insiders of Rouyu technology told the securities times that the eligibility of “three types of shareholders” at the direct level of the company’s shareholder structure needs to be further demonstrated. Considering the company’s development strategy, it was decided to suspend the application for listing on the science and innovation board after research. The suspension of the listing application of the science and Innovation Board will not have a significant impact on the normal production and operation of the company.

In fact, after the disclosure of the prospectus by Rouyu technology, questions about the “star unicorn” enterprise poured in.

According to the prospectus, in 2017, 2018, 2019 and January June 2020, the operating revenue of Ruoyu technology was 64.7267 million yuan, 109.0458 million yuan, 226.9777 million yuan and 116.0737 million yuan respectively; The net profit attributable to the parent company was -359312800 yuan, - 802179700 yuan, - 1073192800 yuan and -960537200 yuan respectively.

For losses, Rouyu technology said that the sales scale of products in the market expansion stage is small, and the research and development of new products requires a lot of funds. This also leads to the rapid burning of the money. During the reporting period, the net cash flow from the company’s operating activities was -358.052 million yuan, - 611.8802 million yuan, - 810.5213 million yuan and -386.0919 million yuan respectively.

Although strategy analytics predicted the shipment of 100 million mobile phones by 2025 in February 2020, the demand side performance of folding screen mobile phones fluctuated. According to the data, the global smartphone shipment began to decline in 2021q6, but only rebounded in 2021q6. Previously, smartphone shipments fell continuously from 2017 to 2020.

The slowdown in smartphone shipments is affected by many factors. On the consumer side, with the maturity of smartphone hardware functions and the improvement of product quality at low price, the replacement cycle is prolonged. In 2020, the epidemic broke out and the “core shortage tide” broke out all over the world. Although mobile phone manufacturers pay close attention to hoarding cores, the shortage of supply chain and parts still has an impact on the smart phone industry, and manufacturers have also lowered their production targets.

At the same time, how to make the price of folding mobile phones more “people-friendly” has become another key. At the end of 2021, a series of new folding screen mobile phones with a price of less than 10000 yuan appeared, among which the lowest price was 7699 yuan of oppo find n.

From the known configuration, the cost of oppo mobile phone has not been compressed. According to CITIC Securities, due to the configuration of one more external screen, the screen area is larger and the material cost of the display module is higher. In terms of hinges, Liu zuohu, chief product officer, revealed that the cost of the rotating shaft on the find n mobile phone reached US $100, while the hinge quotation of other mobile phone manufacturers is generally 200 yuan.

For this wave of price reduction, some people believe that this move is based on price

My family lives in binwen community, Puyan street, Binjiang District. Yesterday evening, I received a short message that nucleic acid detection should be carried out for all staff in Puyan street. Please wait patiently at home, pre register the information in advance, and cooperate with the staff to carry out nucleic acid detection in an orderly manner.

Unexpectedly, after adding oil for others for a year, it’s your turn this time.

When I got home around 10 o’clock last night, there were three long queues at the nucleic acid sampling point at the gate of the community. Community workers hold the printed two-dimensional code of Zhejiang nucleic acid collection emergency platform, and the horn in their hand plays it circularly, so that everyone can enter information first, so as to improve the efficiency of nucleic acid sampling.

The rain is a little dense and the temperature is a little low, but everyone has a good attitude. The neighbors who are rare to see at ordinary times are all right this time.

An hour later, it was my turn. “Big white” little brother did code scanning and collection, and two little sisters took samples. The protective mask was full of droplets of mist condensation.

Sampling is completed quickly. It may be caused by the “occupational disease” as a medical line reporter. After the end, I took a special look at their back. The note on the back reads: Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University.

I was suddenly moved and felt very kind. The medical staff of my Xiankou hospital came retrogradely to my community to serve us.

I didn’t sleep well last night. Wake up in the morning, open Alipay, nucleic acid test report has come out. Negative.

The report was issued at 4:03 a.m. It is conceivable how many medical staff have been busy all night.

This morning, Binjiang District began the construction of the whole district. A large number of medical personnel gathered in the early hours of the morning and set out for battle and support.

Thank you for bringing us warmth and touch on the cold winter rainy night.

Medical staff from many hospitals in Hangzhou gathered on a cold night

Support Binjiang nucleic acid sampling

From last night to the early morning of this morning, the medical staff of many hospitals in Hangzhou urgently gathered to perform nucleic acid detection tasks. In this cold and rainy night, the figure of “big white” people makes people feel warm.

Cancer Hospital of National University of science and technology:

At 5:30 this morning, the nucleic acid collection team received an emergency assembly order and set off again. The team mainly undertook the nucleic acid detection task of Jianghan community. 8 points of Binjiang Longhu Tianjie and 3 points of Qingcheng love community have been carried out in an orderly manner.

The second batch of nucleic acid sampling teams in municipal hospitals

Gather in the morning and set out to support Binjiang

Yesterday afternoon, Hangzhou first hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University, municipal Third Hospital, Red Cross Hospital, municipal seventh hospital, municipal children’s Hospital, municipal obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, municipal cancer hospital and other municipal medical institutions sent the first batch of medical personnel to support Binjiang nucleic acid detection.

Early this morning, the municipal hospitals set out again and sent the second batch of nucleic acid sampling team members to support Binjiang.

Hangzhou first hospital:

On the afternoon of January 26, a municipal hospital received a task from the superior and urgently gathered 150 medical personnel (100 in Hubin hospital area and 50 in Chengbei hospital area) to rush to the Puyan street of Binjiang District to carry out epidemic prevention and control. As the epidemic prevention and control has become normalized, the emergency assembly is very rapid. In less than an hour, the nucleic acid sampling mobile team of a municipal hospital was established! At about 4:50 p.m., 50 medical and nursing staff from Chengbei Hospital of the first municipal hospital went to Puyan street, Binjiang District to support nucleic acid sampling.

At about 4 a.m. on January 27, Hubin hospital district gathered 105 medical staff again and set off for Xixing Street Health Service Center. After arriving at more than 5 o’clock, work was carried out one after another.

Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University:

At 5 a.m. on the 27th, more than 150 people were urgently assembled and rushed to Binjiang.

Yesterday was the 42nd birthday of Dr. Liu Keyuan of cardiothoracic surgery. When he received the sampling task, as a member of the nucleic acid sampling mobile team, he resolutely gave up the original plan to have dinner with his family, responded to the registration at the first time, and rushed to Binjiang District with the first batch of the team. Dr. Liu’s lover is Zhang Jing, a nurse in the operating room of our hospital. Both of them took the initiative to sign up for the nucleic acid sampling team. After arriving at the sampling site, in order to prepare for the next continuous operation, the sampling team members first gathered together to eat their own instant noodles, sang a birthday song and celebrated a special birthday for Dr. Liu. Everyone laughed and said that it was great to eat “longevity noodles” with Dr. Liu.

Wang Yilan, a nurse in the catheterization room, once rushed to Wuhan. Her daughter seems to be ordinary about her mother’s “sudden disappearance”, and some just care and miss her
