Special feature of 1905 film network The original may be late, but the shanzhai is not absent.

　

Since the opening of "Lotus Root Cake" CP, (hereinafter referred to as "Nezha") has swept all box office records of animated films in the domestic market. This treasure boy is now among the top ten clubs in the box office of domestic film history with a value of 2.6 billion.

　

Going out of the circle is like a double-edged sword, and the troubles of the teenager "Nezha" follow. In the pre-sale and crowdfunding stage of authorized derivatives, the surrounding areas of the cottage have already landed on the market.

Taobao searches for "Nezha", and T-shirts are flooding.

In this regard, Light Film recently answered questions from investors on the interactive platform, saying that the company has a high proportion of investment in the film Ne Zha, and the company enjoys the copyright of the film and the exclusive right to develop film derivatives and attract investment. The company attaches great importance to copyright protection, has fully implemented the management of copyright assets, and used legal and technical means to crack down on infringement and piracy and safeguard the rights and interests of copyright assets.

Film Light Film released a copyright statement letter.

At this time, in a garment printing factory somewhere in Zhejiang, a batch of T-shirts suspected of containing Nezha’s head without authorization have begun to produce "big goods" (in jargon, it means to start mass production).

T-shirts with Nezha’s head have been mass-produced

During the reporter’s investigation, it was found that such garment and mobile phone case processing factories would not screen whether the entrusted producers owned the copyright of the pictures. Sometimes, in order to make a deal, they will take the initiative to help customers find pictures.

The troubles of the teenager "Nezha"

At first, the people in Chentangguan were biased against Nezha, and so many people thought that the box office of animated films had a fixed ceiling. After entering the top ten box office of domestic film history, secular prejudice began to be broken by reality. From studying medicine and crossing the border by self-study to animation production industry, director jiaozi’s career experience is also a process of breaking stereotypes.

"Unless you have a box office, you can prove that others like your work, and you can move the surrounding area. You can’t cross the box office and say the surrounding area." In an exclusive interview with 1905 Film Network, director jiaozi defined the relationship between works and peripheral derivatives.

Six months ago, the birth process of derivatives directed by Frant Gwo was the best proof.

There are many kinds of derivatives in The Wandering Earth.

　

Now that Nezha is on fire, the production of peripheral derivatives has started.

In the process of collecting relevant information, Xiao Dianjun found that two companies were approved by the film official micro-seal, a Taobao shop named "Miaowu Shop" and a company named "Guagua Production". The former is in pre-sale and the latter is crowdfunding.

Taobao shop "Miaowu Shop" is being pre-sold.

"The current confirmation of cooperation is like this." Zheng Hongwei, a staff member of Light Media, acknowledged this. At the same time, he also said that for the sale of unauthorized products, the company has a special copyright owner and is working on this matter.

According to public data, the sales volume of pre-sale peripheral T-shirts in August has exceeded 8,500, and the amount of crowdfunding derivatives has reached 1,585,500, far exceeding the original target amount of 30,000. Outside the box office, fans use real money to express their love for "Ouba".

The crowdfunding amount has far exceeded the target.

　

At the same time, the spot products around the cottage have been released.

A clothing printing factory said that as long as the pattern and clothing size are selected, mass production can be realized within one day, but only if the production quantity is at least 200 sets. Another manufacturer engaged in mobile phone case processing said that it can help find relevant pictures from the Internet. In this process, the two never asked about the copyright of pictures.

　

"Nezha should be a film and television work, which is protected by the Copyright Law. If the copyright owner takes Nezha’s pattern design to apply for a trademark, the pattern will also be protected by the Trademark Law." Li Lei, who graduated from a university of political science and law, said so.

In her opinion,Pirated peripheral developers who produce and sell unauthorized products violate the Copyright Law and infringe the copyright owner’s right of reproduction and distribution, should stop the infringement and compensate the copyright owner for the losses.

The creator may spend many months trying to pirate a picture.

It is understood that there are 100 versions of Nezha Design, which are jointly participated by many outstanding designers. It took more than a year to finalize the current version. The damage of unauthorized surroundings to a film and television IP goes far beyond the economic scope.

Who moved the "cheese" in the genuine derivatives market?

Nezha, a teenager, had the same troubles as Hu Ba.

　

As the ticket winner in the summer of 2015 and even the whole year, it became the first domestic film with a box office of over 2 billion. As an important character in the film, the image of "Hu Ba" is deeply loved by the audience, with high popularity and market value. At that time, unauthorized "Hu Ba" derivatives flooded the market.

　Around the "Hu Ba" cottage exposed by netizens.

　

Why is this phenomenon repeated?The low cost of violating the law and the high cost of safeguarding rights are two recognized reasons in the industry.

　

It is generally not illegal for consumers who know that it is pirated and still buy it, but only use and appreciate it themselves. However, if it is disseminated, developed and used for commercial purposes, it will be infringing. Sun Yueyue, who worked as a legal adviser in a law firm in Kunshan, said so.

　

For pirated manufacturers, peripheral derivatives, such as T-shirts, mobile phone cases and charging treasures, have low technical requirements and low cost of dissemination and reproduction. Even if it is punished, it is usually destroyed or fined.

　

"At present, the production of authorized derivatives in China is basically based on OEM, that is, the name or photo pattern of the film is engraved on the original model of the manufacturer, such as lettering on charging treasure and T-shirt. Basically, it will not be specially designed for derivatives, but there are also small objects such as USB flash drives that will be combined with movie elements and designed to be more fun. " The media director of a film marketing company said that this is also the reason why there are thousands of people in the form of domestic derivatives.

The high cost of safeguarding rights is because it is difficult for the obligee to find evidence of infringement of others, for example, the sales channels are complicated, or many sales are completed through the Internet, so it is difficult to obtain evidence.

　

In addition, in people’s traditional impression, price has a great influence on consumers’ decision whether to buy genuine derivatives. In the survey of Xiao Dianjun, it was found that the proportion of price factors was lower among the people who mainly bought after 1990.

　

When most consumers buy derivatives such as movies, they first pay attention to whether the products are officially authorized, and those authorized are more collectible. In terms of product quality, the official production is usually more sophisticated, with better texture and higher degree of reduction.

Authorized water bottle

　

"If you can’t afford genuine products, you won’t buy pirated products. Some pirated products are really inferior." Xu Ziqi (pseudonym), a 15-year-old middle school student, has a firm tone. Although his spending power is limited, he will occasionally buy some genuine animation peripheral products.

　

Some netizens suggested that the products around Guoman and movies can be offered at different price points to choose from. "For example, according to its complexity and rarity, hand-made shops in Japan have different pricing, so fans can also choose suitable collectibles according to their own economic situation."

In addition, the creativity of derivatives has also become one of the important factors for consumers to buy products. This is consistent with the personality portrait of the whole crowd who pursued individuality and dared to express themselves after 1990.

The normal production of domestic film derivatives: first out of the circle, then production

From "monster hunt 1" to "The Wandering Earth" and "Nezha", domestic film derivatives are usually made after the film is released.

　

Jiang Zhiqiang, the first producer of monster hunt, said in an interview with the media that "I didn’t pay attention to derivatives before, but now I regret it, and I will definitely pay attention to this matter in the future." However, similar incidents are still being staged.

Monster hunt authorized the doll.

The fundamental reason lies in the instability of the quality of film and television works and the unpredictability of market reaction. According to the conventional process, the development of derivatives has been started before the film is completed, even at the stage of script development. The sales performance of most derivatives is directly proportional to the popularity of the film.

　

Before the film was released, there were many uncertainties in the market. If the peripheral products are developed and distributed at this time, the potential business risks are huge. In order to avoid risks to the greatest extent, most copyright owners choose to say it after screening.

　

Fu Xiaoran, the general manager of Alibaba Fish Market, a domestic derivative head production company, believes that it is ideal and perfect to enter the development stage of derivatives half a year before the film is released, because all good derivative products need a development cycle of about half a year, so that when they are in stock, they can catch up with the popularity of film release, jointly promote brands and promote sales.

Ne Zha derivative service presentation

　

However, she also admitted that due to the high uncertainty of the film, many popular films after the release did not have derivative development in the early stage, which led to temporary follow-up authorization, which was unfavorable to both the merchants and the film copyright parties.

　

"At that time, the surrounding area was very popular, and the reservation volume was very high, but the production cycle was long and the customer waited for a long time. There seems to be no continuous production of peripheral products now. I think this should be used as a long-term marketing, not just during the movie fire. " Chen Tiantian (a pseudonym), a graduate student studying at China Communication University, recalled.

"The Return of the Great Sage" is officially done.

　

As a fast-moving consumer product, movies lack lasting influence compared with comics that can be serialized for decades at the longest. The surroundings built on the works naturally have the worry of being "out of breath". As the popularity of the film fades, it is reasonable to update the product in the later stage.

　

Relatively speaking, animated films, costume fantasy and sci-fi works have more potential in derivative development. "However, the premise of these is that movies are explosions, and it is more difficult for real-life urban dramas." Fu Xiaoran stressed.

　

After monster hunt and The Return of the Great Sage, Big Fish Begonia, Begonia and other films have begun to lay out derivatives business in advance. According to the Securities Daily, before the release of "Catch the Demon 2" in 2018, the legally authorized Aojieer Hu Ba plush doll sold nearly 200,000 pieces on Taobao platform, with a sales volume of nearly 4 million yuan.

On the whole, the content quality of the film itself is the best spokesperson for related derivatives. First out of the circle, then production, is the mainstream choice for the production of mainland film derivatives.

Waist derivatives production companies are scarce.

"I don’t know."

　

In the process of film derivatives investigation, faced with Xiao Dianjun’s request to recommend several contacts of domestic regular derivatives production companies, many friends answered highly similar questions. Waist derivatives production companies are scarce or the industry is normal.

　

After many twists and turns, I finally contacted Wang Yangyang, co-founder of Chuangfeng Media. According to its introduction, the company was established in 2014, mainly providing a complete set of derivative solutions for the entertainment industry. The company has served more than 100 cinema film projects.

Baidu Encyclopedia Entry of Chuangfeng Media

　

At the beginning, because of the feelings and expectations of the film derivatives industry, the company is now expanding its short video marketing business. "Derivatives are oriented to the C-end development direction, development cycle and marketing cooperation, which leads to the market not being fully opened; Because of the big market environment, the customized promotional products have changed a lot in the promotional budget. " After doing film derivatives for many years, Wang Yangyang is so impressed.

　

As we all know, the well-known derivatives production companies in the industry include Ali Fish and Entertainment Cat.

The former once launched movie derivatives such as The Wandering Earth Planetary Engine Model and Carrier Vehicle Model, which were jointly created by Saffan Science Fiction Space and China Film Marketing, on its own crowdfunding platform, while the latter was independently responsible for the derivative development of The Return of the Great Sage.

The Wandering Earth planetary engine model launched by Ali Entertainment on crowdfunding platform.

In addition, if you don’t have a deep understanding of this industry, it is difficult to name other companies.　

After the accumulation of time and skills, in 2019, domestic science fiction films and animated films reached unprecedented peaks respectively. Although there are some problems in the film and animation derivatives industry with huge potential market, its future development is full of imagination.

　　Since the founding of New China, Chongqing has been seizing opportunities to promote development from the "third-line construction" to the reform and opening up. Jiangbei mouth Financial Center used to be just a dilapidated low-rise bungalow, and before the development of Liangjiang New District, a national new district, it was just a piece of farmland.
　
　　Entering a new era, the horn of promoting the development of the western region and forming a new pattern has sounded. Chongqing, guided by the intelligentization of big data, will build a new trinity pattern of intelligent industry, intelligent manufacturing and intelligent application, and unswervingly promote high-quality development, which will surely play a supporting role in promoting the development of the western region in the new era.

　　"Our intelligent networked car is very safe, and the cleaning workers know its ‘ Temper ’ I have long been accustomed to it. " Looking at this scene, Li Yusheng, deputy general manager of Changan Automobile Intelligent Research Institute, had a smile in his eyes.
　
　　More than 30 years ago, in the eyes of Li Yusheng, who just worked, he was more confused. In 1982, he was assigned to work in the automobile team. The only domestic car in the team is the Jiefang truck, and the engine still uses the technology of the 1940s. At that time, domestic cars were synonymous with low-end, low-quality and low-price.
　
　　"It has been trapped in the low-end market. When will domestic cars grow?" Ten years ago, when Li Yusheng came to Changan Automobile, he proposed that intelligent networking should be the direction of China automobile’s leapfrog development.
　
　　Immerse yourself in scientific research for 10 years. Now, Li Yusheng’s team has conquered more than 100 core technologies, developed the application functions of 16 typical scenarios such as intersection collision warning, and achieved mass production of more than 70 smart products. "In 2016, we completed the 2000-kilometer driverless test and set a Guinness record for 55 self-driving cars at the end of last year." Li Yusheng said that the technology of intelligent networked cars has gradually improved. It is expected that in 2025, completely driverless cars will be mass-produced.
　
　　"We have transformed from a traditional automobile manufacturing company to a smart travel technology company." Within Chang ‘an, the data of multiple departments are operated in a unified way, and all departments find and solve problems through data analysis. In the past two years, more than 100 problems have been discovered. After being solved by big data analysis, the related efficiency has increased by 30%.
　
　　"Through the Internet of Vehicles, we get big data and form customer group portraits on the basis of protecting personal privacy. Every month, we will form an operation report of user big data. " Li Yusheng said, for example, if some automobile functions are used frequently, the investment in R&D resources will increase accordingly. If the owners of each car have different travel habits, they can provide products and services in a targeted manner.
　
　　Not only Chang ‘an, Xiaokang, SAIC Hongyan and many other Chongqing car companies are also developing intelligent networked cars. According to reports, by 2022, the output of Chongqing intelligent networked vehicles will reach 1.2 million.

　　For a long time after the founding of New China, Chongqing was the national heavy industry base. After the reform and opening up, spring factory, electroplating factory and auto parts factory … … A large number of private enterprises came into being.
　
　　"It’s dark, greasy, and the hammer knocks on the welding." Speaking of factories, many Chongqing people wave their hands. However, the change of the times brought by Industry 4.0 is changing people’s stereotype of the factory floor. At present, Chongqing is promoting the intelligent transformation of 5,000 enterprises and starting to build 50 smart factories.
　
　　Mengxun Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. is located in Nan ‘an District, Chongqing.

　　In Liangjiang New District, smart factories also have models. Chongqing’s well-off industry, which started with a small workshop to produce springs, has built a new energy smart factory in Jin Kang.
　
　　"After five times of stamping, these steel plates are the side plates of a car body." Zhang Zhengping, CEO of Chongqing Jin Kang Sailisi Automobile Co., Ltd., said that the six-axis robot with a height of more than 3 meters grabbed the steel plate and put it on the assembly line, and the whole process did not need manual work.
　
　　At the outlet of the assembly line at the other end, the complete body side plates are output in turn, and the robot arm neatly puts them on the unmanned transport vehicle. Once the stacking is completed, the unmanned transport vehicle will be transported along the prescribed route. Workers only need to stand in front of the display screen with a walkie-talkie to monitor whether the relevant data is normal.

　　Roman, the purchasing director of Spask Cement Plant in Russia, is a little anxious. At the end of last year, the fan in the factory had to be replaced immediately because of the aging equipment. However, when Roman contacted the original factory in Europe, the other party was not interested in such a small list. Helpless, Roman can only post the demand online. Soon, the staff of the Russian-speaking area of Chongqing Linggongyun Industrial E-commerce Platform contacted him, suggesting to choose China manufacturers.
　
　　After Roman’s demand was input into the big data computing pool of Linggong Cloud E-commerce, the platform recommended relevant production enterprises in China, and also gave the enterprise registration information, credit history in recent three years, factory product quality certification, scale strength and other survey information, and issued a risk assessment report. Roman was relieved to see Chongqing General Industrial Group, the best recommended platform, and also received the recommendation of another cement plant under construction in Russia. On March 29th, Roman placed an order and made a deal.
　
　　"On the one hand, there are more than 10 co-constructions ‘ Belt and Road ’ On the other hand, there are more than 20,000 domestic industrial manufacturing and service enterprises and more than 50,000 kinds of industrial equipment products. Our platform allows them to accurately dock through big data algorithms. " Yu Yao, chairman of Chongqing Linggongyun E-Commerce Co., Ltd. said.
　
　　Yu Yao recalled that when he first worked, most domestic industrial equipment still relied on imports from Europe and the United States, and domestic industrial products were simply unable to compete. Later, domestic industrial products began to go overseas and had a certain market share. In recent years, the quality and category of domestic industrial products have reached a great level, but "the fragrance of wine is also afraid of the depth of the alley."
　
　　"Going out is too difficult for SMEs." Yu Yao said with emotion that to open a channel abroad, to set up an office, you have to visit customers everywhere. It takes a lot of investment and a long period, so it is impossible for small and medium-sized enterprises to bear such a big cost. And if you find a middleman, the middleman can’t provide after-sales service.
　
　　Now, through the matching of big data platforms, many foreign enterprises that need to customize non-standard parts have found their own suppliers in China. "From high-end lathes and mechanical and electrical products to a roll of adhesive tape and a filter screen. There are standard parts and customized parts. There is a need in overseas markets, and our China industry can basically provide it. " Yu Wei said.

According to the official report of Chang ‘an, the second generation of Chang ‘an Yidong was officially listed on March 27th, 2018, with the pre-sale price of 80,000-110,000.

In appearance, the front face of the new car is very similar to that of Ruicheng CC. The large-area front air intake grille with sharp headlights also brings high recognition. The overall lines are very smooth and stretched, with a good fashion atmosphere. This style front face will also become the future family-style design language of Changan’s products. The tail shape is also rich in layers, and the duck-tail spoiler, with black decorative pieces and chrome trim around the back, is very sporty.

In terms of size, the length/width/height of the new car is 4710×1820×1490mm (including shark fin antenna 1505mm), and the wheelbase is 2700mm, which is 90mm and 40mm higher than the current model in terms of length and wheelbase respectively, which is basically the same as the direct competitor-Emgrand GL.

The interior part also adopts brand-new family modeling elements, the lines of the center console are smooth, and the overall design style is quite similar to that of Ruicheng CC released earlier. The new Yidong interior adopts a two-color design, with a large area of silver decorative board, black piano paint decorative board and soft material with imitation stitching design, which has a good texture as a whole. In addition, the new car is equipped with a 10.25-inch LCD screen with a high-definition resolution of 1920*720, which integrates Changan inCall 3.0 intelligent car interconnection system, and has the functions of reversing images and monitoring the right blind spot.

In terms of power, the new car only provided a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine code-named JL478QEN, with in-cylinder direct injection technology, with a maximum power of 128 HP, and the parameters are consistent with the current models. In the transmission system, two different gearboxes, 5-speed manual and 6-speed automatic, are matched with the engine.

　　Yesterday, there was moderate rain in the whole city, with heavy rainfall in the south and east, and heavy rain in some places. From 22: 00 on May 25 to 15: 00 on May 26, the average rainfall in the city was 18.3 mm, and the maximum rainfall occurred in Daxing Yufa, 80.8 mm.

　　After the rain, the north wind came, and there will still be about 4 northerly winds and 7 gusts in this city during the day. The temperature will gradually rise from now on, and it will reach about 34℃ again at the weekend.

　　China Southern Airlines reported yesterday that yesterday morning, due to the thunderstorm weather in Beijing, the CZ3101 Guangzhou-Beijing flight of China Southern Airlines was hit by hail and its windshield broke. The crew was disposed of according to the manual procedures, and the plane landed safely at Beijing Capital Airport at 11: 48 am, and the crew on board were safe. According to public information, the Airbus A380 was flying the flight.

　　Encountered several violent bumps and cracks on the outside of the windshield.

　　From the photos taken by netizens circulating on the Internet, it can be seen that the paint on the nose of the plane is obviously damaged, the external radome is damaged, and the windshield is seriously broken.

　　In the recording of a conversation between the crew of flight CZ3101 and the Beijing Tower to confirm the situation on board, the crew said, "You can see that there is a crack outside the windshield."

　　The Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned from an on-board passenger that when the plane entered the landing stage, it suffered several violent bumps. "There were three or four sections, each of which was tens of seconds. The bumps were much more serious than those I experienced before flying. You can see that there are very thick clouds around the plane." As can be seen from the photos taken after the passenger got off the plane, the paint on the nose of the plane was obviously damaged.

　　Another passenger recalled that when the plane landed, "it felt like riding a roller coaster. I almost threw up at that time. It was so lucky to land safely."

　　Flight safety landing netizens "like" the captain.

　　When this incident came out, it triggered a heated discussion among netizens, and many people "liked" the captain. Weibo, the official of China Southern Airlines, said, "The flight was affected by the thunderstorm weather in Beijing. During the landing in Beijing, the plane was hit by hail and the windshield was broken. The crew was disposed of according to the manual procedures. The plane landed safely at Beijing Capital International Airport at 11: 48, and the crew was safe. "

　　In an interview with the reporter of Beiqing Daily, China Southern Airlines said that the captain of this flight is He Xianghang, with a flight experience of about 15,000 hours and a technical level of Class C teachers.

　　At 08: 35 yesterday, flight CZ3101 took off from Guangzhou Baiyun Airport normally, and approached in the airspace of Beijing Capital Airport at 11: 20. When flying around the clouds in a thunderstorm, it was suddenly hit by hail, which caused the outer layer of the windshield to rupture and affected the pilot’s sight.

　　The flight crew was calm in the face of danger, managed cockpit resources efficiently, and handled it in strict accordance with the operating procedures of the company manual. For safety reasons, MAYDAY was immediately announced, and the situation at that time was comprehensively evaluated: first, the aircraft was damaged. Because the A380 windshield is a three-layer structure, only the outer windshield is damaged and the inner layer is intact, which can ensure safe flight. In addition, all systems of the aircraft operate normally and are safe and controllable.

　　The second is the weather. Damage to the outer windshield will affect the heating of the windshield, and the aircraft can’t fly in the ice accumulation area. According to the latest weather situation and forecast of the Capital Airport, the crew found that the weather system has basically crossed the border and met the conditions for safe landing. The third is the navigation facilities of the Capital Airport. The Capital Airport has the condition of Class II blind descent, which can improve the safety margin. At the same time, I learned from the cabin that there was no abnormality on the whole. Based on the above situation, the crew shortened the air flight time as much as possible and applied to the controller for priority landing.

　　Finally, the plane landed safely at 36R runway of Beijing Capital Airport at 11: 48 yesterday. All the crew members adhere to the eternal theme of flight safety. In the case of damaged windshield, they strictly standardize operations, decisively evaluate and make decisions, land safely in the shortest time, and always regard the safety of passengers’ lives and property as the highest responsibility of pilots.

　　Can an airplane fly safely with a broken windshield?

　　Chen Jianguo, a senior captain, said in an interview with the reporter of Beiqing Daily that the aircraft radome is made of synthetic materials, not a part of the pressurized fuselage, and the damage may only have an impact on the weather radar, but has little impact on the safe flight of the aircraft.

　　Chen Jianguo said that according to the manual of Airbus aircraft, the front windshield of the aircraft has six layers, namely, outer layer, heating coating, interlayer, middle layer, interlayer and inner layer from outside to inside. The outer layer is heated by the heating coating, which mainly plays a protective role. When the plane flies in the air, the outside temperature will be as low as MINUS 60 degrees Celsius, and the heated windshield can effectively maintain a certain strength and toughness. The middle layer and the inner layer are called structural layers. No matter the middle layer or the inner layer, any layer has the ability to bear twice the maximum pressure difference of the aircraft, so as long as there is any glass in the middle or the inner layer, the aircraft is safe.

　　Chen Jianguo explained that when the plane’s glass is broken, the pilot can touch it along the crack with a pen or fingernail to see if the inner glass is broken. If the inner glass is broken, it is impossible to estimate whether the middle layer is also broken. It should be lowered immediately to reduce the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the plane, so as to avoid the danger that the plane will deteriorate further and lose the whole windshield, thus losing pressure. If the inner glass is not damaged, the plane is safe and can continue to fly safely because the inner glass can bear at least twice the maximum pressure difference.

On November 15th, BMW China announced the launch of a brand-new pure electric BMW i4 sedan. As a mid-term modified model, the new car has been mainly adjusted in appearance and interior. The new BMW i4 continues the design style of the current model, with vertical double arrow LED daytime running lights on the front face, and the light source arrangement in the headlight group has changed. In the rear part, the new BMW i4 will use a newly designed laser taillight, which was first used on the BMW M4 CSL high-performance model, and has multiple L-shaped decorative lines crossed and combined, showing a certain three-dimensional effect.

In terms of interior, the new BMW i4 continues the curved dual-screen layout of the current model, consisting of a 12.3-inch digital instrument and a 14.9-inch infotainment screen, matching the BMW iDrive 8.5 operating system and supporting the interconnection of Apple CarPlay mobile phones. The functions of air conditioning temperature/air volume, seat and steering wheel heating of new cars can be controlled by display screen or voice. Ambient lights are added at the air outlet of the air conditioner under the central control panel, and the vehicle also uses a new style of flat-bottomed three-spoke steering wheel and a new color matching structure seat. The suggested retail price of eDrive35 and eDrive40 of the new pure electric BMW i4 sedan is 429,900 yuan and 469,900 yuan respectively.

　　US President Biden signed an executive order on July 9 local time to promote competition in various industries in the United States. This bill provides guidance and restrictive measures for anti-competitive practices in science and technology, medical care and other fields, and at the same time aims to increase workers’ income and provide protection for consumers.

　　This comprehensive order issued 72 actions and suggestions for the labor market, agricultural market, health care market (including prescription drugs, hospital merger and insurance), transportation, internet, bank and consumer credit system, and scientific and technological innovation market. In a statement issued on the same day, the White House said that due to the lack of competition in the market, rising prices and falling wages, it is estimated that the annual loss of middle-class families in the United States is about 5,000 US dollars. The signing of this order will provide economic support to American families in need, increase the income of American workers, and promote innovation and economic growth in the United States.

　　This executive order includes calling on major antitrust agencies — — The Ministry of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) vigorously enforce the anti-monopoly law, encourage them to take legal measures to limit the bad monopoly behaviors neglected by the former government, and prohibit unnecessary restrictions on professional licenses. The government will also seek to strengthen anti-monopoly guidance to prevent employers from cooperating by sharing salary information with each other to depress employees’ wages or reduce benefits. The executive order also puts forward several specific measures to protect consumers’ rights and interests in terms of medical care, Internet and transportation, including requiring the Ministry of Communications to formulate and issue clear rules to refund fees when airlines delay their luggage or fail to provide corresponding services according to their advertisements.

On the evening of December 27, the Long March 5 remote three carrier rocket was successfully launched. Guo Wenbin/photo

　　Qian Xuesen, known as the father of China Aerospace, once said: If scientific experiments can be successful every time, then why experiment? After setbacks and failures, we will become smarter.

　　The "Phoenix Nirvana" trip of the Long March 5 is the best example at present.

　　Two years ago, the second launch of the Long March 5 was defeated. This news hung over the hearts of Chinese people like a haze, and once caused doubts. Today, the largest rocket in China has been reborn for more than 900 days, and it has gone out again.

　　On December 27th, the Long March 5 started its third flight at Wenchang Space Launch Site, accompanied by a roar that shook the mountains. A dazzling flame surrounded the big rocket and flew out of the sky. In the end, the mission was declared successful, and this big rocket was dormant for two years, and finally it was proud!

　　Behind the soaring, it can be described as "twists and turns". In the words of Long Lehao, academician of China Academy of Engineering and chief designer of Long March series rockets of the First Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, "Failure is almost success, and success is almost failure" — — Over the past two years, more than 900 days and nights, China astronauts dare not take it lightly every moment.

　　Soul-stirring 2 hours and 43 minutes

　　Long March 5 is a rocket destined to be extraordinary from birth, which has entrusted too many people’s dreams and long-cherished wishes. For a long time, when it comes to the development of a certain technology or a certain field in China, people have become accustomed to using "big but not strong" to describe it. But aerospace is breaking this statement, and the first punch to break this statement is the Long March 5 — — It is equivalent to the admission ticket of a "space power". Its development difficulty can be imagined.

　　As early as 1986, the demonstration of a new generation of launch vehicles was carried out in China. Since the mid-1990s, the research on a new generation of rocket engines has been put on the agenda. In 2016, a new generation of big rockets developed after 30 years of demonstration — — The first flight of Long March 5 was successful, which attracted much attention.

　　However, behind the success of the first flight, there was also an episode of "almost failure".

　　Hu Xudong was the commander of the first flight mission 01 of the Long March 5. He still remembers that it was November 3, 2016, and the launch time was postponed from 18: 00 to 20: 43. In the meantime, it experienced six suffocating time resets, and even faced the test that the launch mission was forced to cancel.

　　People who watched the launch thus remembered the special moment of "near misses" and gained a somewhat more intuitive understanding of this rocket, which kicked off the era of China Grand Carrier.

　　When the time was set back to 17: 30 on the same day, the atmosphere in the test hall suddenly became tense, and hundreds of scientific and technological personnel looked at the big screen together — — The rocket "has a fever" because the primary circulation precooling pump of the rocket can’t be started normally. At the moment, the temperature displayed on the big screen is 238K, which is much higher than the take-off standard of 110K … …

　　According to Hu Xudong’s recollection, at this time, the mission headquarters decided that if the pre-cooling effect of the engine could not meet the launch conditions by 19: 30, the propellant leakage procedure would be started and the launch mission would be cancelled.

　　At 19: 28, there were only two minutes left from the "bottom line", the engine temperature dropped to a predetermined value, and the rocket successfully "cooled down".

　　"Set the ignition time to 20: 40." Hu Xudong exhaled a sigh of relief greatly. However, even at the last minute before the launch, emergencies have occurred again and again.

　　At 20: 40, only one minute left before the final launch, Hu Xudong just issued the password of "1 minute preparation", and suddenly heard Wei Kang, the commander of the control system, issue "the most awesome password in China’s space history": "01, stop launching!"

　　"What’s the matter?"

　　At this moment, Hu Xudong involuntarily stood up and blurted out 1.

　　Ten seconds before the launch, Hu Xudong began to count down, and suddenly he received a request from Wei Kang "Please wait a moment".

　　"Stop the launch!" Hu Xudong stopped emission process, and once again organized the troubleshooting. The problem was finally solved.

　　The "ignition" password was finally issued and the rocket took off.

　　Behind the cheers, astronauts including Hu Xudong began to sort out and analyze the launch data, and they had to face 630,000 original data — — These are related to whether China Rocket can still "turn the corner" next time.

　　Guess the beginning but not the ending.

　　Long Lehao was on the scene for the first two launch missions of Long March 5. One of his obvious feelings is that although the first launch mission was successful, the "stumbling" three hours before takeoff seems to be more touching. He said: "This is inevitable. After all, this is a brand-new rocket and the situation is too complicated."

　　Accordingly, the second launch, for many people at the scene, "was originally very smooth." "Before taking off, it was not as thrilling as the Long March 5 Yaoyi (the first flight mission, reporter’s note, the same below)." Long Lehao said that the launch site of Yaoer was "much calmer" and "much better" in the first few minutes.

　　At that time, he was still thinking, "This may be the first tortuous experience, exposing some problems, and then doing a lot of improvement work, having experience and a relatively stable mentality."

　　Indeed, after the Long March 5 took off from Wenchang Space Launch Site for the second time, everything was normal in the first few minutes. But after flying for more than 300 seconds, the problem appeared.

　　"All of a sudden, the flight curve of [Long March 5] is not quite right … …” In the test hall of Wenchang Space Launch Site, Long Lehao saw from the big screen that the curve was not going up in their predetermined direction, but was "falling" down.

　　His mind is tight: the flight curve falls, which means that the rocket is gradually losing thrust. If the thrust is not enough, the rocket will have no acceleration and will not be able to overcome the gravity field.

　　"At that time, I had a presentiment that ‘ It’s over ’ This launch is going to fail … …” Long Lehao said.

　　The measuring hall was silent.

　　A monitoring team member at the scene told reporters that their hearts, like the flight curve on the big screen, "kept falling", and many people silently shed tears.

　　That night, Xinhua News Agency released the news of mission failure.

　　"This result is what no one wants to see." Long Lehao said that he soon told himself that the failure of scientific experiments was inevitable. What we need to do now is how to find out the cause of the failure as soon as possible, take measures, try to go around as soon as possible, and prove once again that our rocket is trustworthy with practical actions.

　　That night, when Long Lehao left the test hall, he didn’t have much communication with the space junior on the spot. But he believes that these young astronauts have the ability to withstand the pressure. "Now it does seem that they are not overwhelmed by difficulties — — Get down and still stand up! " Long Lehao said.

　　What’s the problem with the engine again?

　　On April 16, 2018, the National Space Administration released the investigation on the failure of the Long March 5 remote rocket, which mentioned that the Long March 5 remote rocket suddenly failed when it flew to 346 seconds.

　　The cause of the failure is that the turbine exhaust device of the first unit of the core-stage liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen engine is abnormal in the local structure under the complex mechanical and thermal environment, and the engine thrust drops sharply instantly, resulting in the failure of the launch mission.

　　Engine is also an engine. Yes, this word, which once stung the Chinese people’s key technology in the aviation field, has become a stumbling block in the aerospace field this time.

　　A big rocket is naturally inseparable from a big thrust, and a big thrust is inseparable from the development motivation. Before the Long March 5, the maximum thrust of a single rocket engine in active service in China was only about 70 tons, so it was "inadequate" to launch a very large spacecraft.

　　A new type of high thrust engine came into being. According to Zhou Limin, secretary of the Party Committee of the Sixth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, after 15 years of unremitting research, eight newly developed 120-ton liquid oxygen kerosene engines were assembled on the four boosters of the Long March 5, and four newly developed hydrogen-oxygen engines were assembled on the first-class and second-class rockets.

　　He has an image saying that developing an engine is as difficult as climbing Mount Everest. "Some foreign experts say that even if we design it, we can’t make it." Among them, the hydrogen-oxygen engine that failed in the remote second mission is even more difficult.

　　Zhou Limin still remembers that in the face of brand-new engines, the research team began to tackle scientific and technological problems day and night, and dozens of new materials and more than 100 new processes were overcome one by one. However, the starting of the engine has become the biggest obstacle.

　　He said that in the starting stage, the whole engine is in an unstable dynamic process, because the speed changes from a static state to tens of thousands of revolutions, and the temperature changes from a low temperature state to a high temperature state. Our control sequence is controlled in milliseconds, and any action that is not well coordinated and fails to achieve the expected result may lead to failure.

　　At first, the development team was hit hard. After the prototype of the engine used in the first flight of Long March 5 was developed, its test results failed four times in a row: two starting explosions and two burning gas systems.

　　Zhou Limin said that these have dealt a great blow to the confidence of the entire research and development team and design team. "Many people dream of the explosion scene in their dreams, and they can’t eat or sleep well."

　　Find out the "devil" and destroy the "enemy"

　　And these are just the "pains" that China astronauts encountered in the engine development stage. After the failure of the Long March 5 Tele-2 mission, the pressure faced by these people became even greater, and they even called the faulty engine problem "the devil".

　　A test team member of the Sixth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation told the reporter that in order to find out the "devil" and destroy the "enemy", the development team has suffered unprecedented hardships, hardships, twists and turns and doubts in the past two years. The experience of tempering, struggling, struggling and tackling key problems is also rare in the history of development. Especially those "demons" who are hidden deep, the tension and complexity of the battle are unprecedented.

　　“‘ Devil ’ It pops up from time to time, blinding the development team’s sight, and even pushing them into the endless abyss of opaque. However, the development team was not intimidated by the darkness and was not defeated. " Zhou Limin said.

　　According to the statistics of the Sixth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, in the second and third quarters of 2019 alone, the development teams of 11 hydrogen-oxygen engines in Beijing of the Academy worked overtime for 23,000 hours, and finally found out the "devil" hidden in the engine and eliminated the "enemy" who was recalcitrant, eliminating hidden dangers and eliminating faults.

　　Li Dong, the chief designer of the Long March 5 rocket, told the reporter that after the failure of the Long March 5 rocket, after more than 100 days of troubleshooting and positioning, and more than 180 days of experimental verification, the reason for the failure was finally confirmed. After that, according to the conclusion of fault investigation, the development team improved the design of the first-stage hydrogen-oxygen engine, and adopted corresponding improvement measures from the aspects of structure, materials and technology, which improved the adaptability to the flight environment.

　　The cause of the failure was found, identified and improved. Everything seems so smooth.

　　However, new problems have come again.

　　The process of returning to zero is full of twists and turns

　　On November 30, 2018, the improved core-stage hydrogen-oxygen engine had problems during the long-distance test run.

　　Li Dong told reporters that this time the astronauts responded faster. According to the cause of the failure, the development team improved the local weak links of the engine and improved the dynamic strength margin of the structure.

　　On March 29, 2019, the zeroing work and improvement verification of engine test failure were all completed — — The two long-distance test runs passed successfully, and the second problem was solved in this way.

　　But soon, they ushered in the third "encounter."

　　On April 4, 2019, when the final assembly of the Long March 5 remote three rocket entered the final stage, an "abnormal vibration frequency" appeared in the process of analyzing the test data of a core-stage hydrogen-oxygen engine used for subsequent tasks.

　　It can be described as twists and turns, once again verifying that sentence: the road to scientific exploration has never been smooth.

　　"Without a trace of doubt!" Li Dong said that the developers followed the trail and found the crux of the problem — — The local structure of the engine is very sensitive to the complex mechanical and thermal environment, and it is easy to cause resonance. Once excited, it is not easy to decay.

　　In July 2019, the developers completed the structural improvement of the engine and completed more than a dozen large-scale ground tests.

　　At this point, the engine problem that has plagued the Long March 5 for more than two years has finally been investigated.

　　According to the statistics of the First Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, the Long March 5 was defeated by Yaoer on July 2, 2017 and successfully launched by Yaosan on December 27, 2019, which lasted for 908 days and carried out more than 40 key technical tests.

　　After 908 days and nights, I got up again after countless falls. And the biggest "hard bone" — — The hydrogen-oxygen engine has also completed the phoenix bath fire and nirvana rebirth in more than two years.

　　According to Long Lehao, more than 900 days, such an interval — — It is a long time in the history of the Long March rocket to go beyond the period of the follow-up flight after the mission fails. In his impression, there is not even a "return to zero" at such a long interval.

　　"We certainly hope that the interval will be shorter, but scientific research cannot change with subjective wishes." Long Lehao said that the failure of the Long March 5 rocket was due to the failure of a certain engine component under the interaction of complex mechanical and thermal environment — — This problem is deeply hidden, and it does not appear in most cases, but only occasionally. However, once it appears, it is a "disastrous result".

　　In his view, this "zeroing" finally caught this mischievous "devil", although it took a long time, it was worth it.

　　"We’re all suffocating."

　　In fact, it takes more than a few teams to find out the "devil" and "rebuild" the engine.

　　Yan Yong, deputy director of Beijing No.11 Institute of the Sixth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, told the reporter that the failure to launch the Long March V Remote II rocket pushed the liquid power industry with the reputation of "golden power" to the forefront, and the failure of the first-class high-thrust hydrogen-oxygen rocket engine put the engine development team under tremendous pressure and test. With the help of the strength of the Group and the Sixth Hospital, the Institute has used all effective resources to carry out the zeroing work — — It can be said that this is a "national alliance" to tackle key technical problems.

　　"It’s the first time I’ve seen so many academicians get together!" Lv Wei, the quality supervisor of 11 universities in Beijing, said that he was most impressed by the evaluation. Twenty-five academicians and five university professors came to the site as invited experts to listen to the engine development work and put forward opinions and suggestions. Nearly 60 leading experts in the system also participated in the exchange and discussion.

　　In fact, after the failure of the mission two years ago, many people are also eager to try, looking forward to returning to the "battlefield" and showing their talents.

　　"If setbacks obscure the light of the road ahead, then use the unrepentant heart to light the fire at night!" Chen Jiwei, commander of the launching station system at Wenchang Space Launch Site, told the reporter that there was no frustration and discouragement, and everyone held their breath. All systems and posts rallied from scratch and immediately put themselves into the preparations for the rocket’s go-around.

　　Deduct the process again and again, anticipate and recall one by one, and operate the exercise again and again. The operation of the air compressor of a system in the station is not very stable, and the equipment manufacturer has repeatedly made dozens of improvement tests, but the problem still exists.

　　Many people have advised Chen Jiwei, "it’s not a restrictive factor, it’s almost enough." However, his answer is adamant. "The factors that affect the task must be solved without compromise!"

　　Today, the Long March V has finally won this "turn-over battle", and it has become the most iconic task of China Aerospace in 2019. This is not only because it determines the implementation of major engineering tasks such as the follow-up Chang ‘e V, manned space station and the first Mars exploration, but also because it presents the process of scientific experiments from failure to success to the public in such an intuitive way, which makes people feel moved and amazed.

　　In addition to Qian Xuesen’s sentence, Albert Einstein also had a "golden sentence" that was regarded as a standard by the scientific community. The general idea is that it is not a bad thing for a person to take detours and make mistakes on the road of scientific exploration, and it is not a shame. It is necessary to bravely admit and correct mistakes in practice.

　　Long March 5 did it. China astronauts did it.

    On the morning of April 24th, "Fujiu" spit for a while, and then circled.

    At 18: 15 on June 9th, the female Yangtze finless porpoise (hereinafter referred to as finless porpoise) "Fujiu" reared in Baiji Dolphin Museum, Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences gave birth successfully, giving birth to a male finless porpoise with a body length of about 70cm and a weight of about 5kg, numbered F9C24, adding a new member to the artificially bred Yangtze finless porpoise family. For more than 10 days, the finless porpoise has been growing well and is currently undergoing a unique "molting" process.

    The dolphin mother "Fujiu" was introduced from Poyang Lake to Wuhan Baiji Dolphin Museum in 2011. She is 15 years old and is in her prime.

    On May 10th, researchers did B-ultrasound in the natural state of water, and "Fujiu" cooperated with the breeder tacitly. Photography Gao Baoyan

    At the beginning of June last year, during the most frequent period of finless porpoise breeding activities, Baibo Dolphin Museum began to monitor Fujiu by B-ultrasound. From June 12, 2023, the staff monitored the discharge of fertilized eggs, the growth and development of finless porpoise embryos, and the birth of finless porpoise. The 362 days of "Fujiu" pregnancy were completely recorded through B-ultrasound monitoring.

    After 12 months of pregnancy, on the morning of June 9 this year, the nursing staff noticed that "Fujiu" began to jump violently and returned to calm after one and a half minutes. Subsequently, it is accompanied by intermittent fast swimming and jumping behavior.

    Through these abnormal movements, the nursing staff judged that "Fujiu" was about to have a baby!

    Accompanied by researchers and nurses, Fujiu successfully gave birth to the finless porpoise F9C24.

    According to Wang Chaoqun, the training director of Baiji Dolphin Museum, after the baby dolphin is born, its umbilical cord connected with its mother’s blood is automatically disconnected due to pulling; Then the dolphin mother "Fujiu" quickly found the child, accompanied her intimately, and quickly started parent-child interaction; On the day of birth, the finless porpoise F9C24 sucked its first breast milk.

    "Fujiu" takes special care of the newborn finless porpoise. At the time of birth, "F9C24" almost hit the wall of the breeding pond several times because of the lack of swimming skills and strength. In order to protect the children, "Fujiu" intimately accompanied the small finless porpoise on the outside, blocking it with his body until it could swim normally.

    The finless porpoise is going through the process of molting. It began to shed its fetal skin a week after birth, and then put on a smoother "coat" to adapt to the changes in the environment.

    This is the second child of Fujiu. On June 27th, 2022, Fujiu successfully gave birth to her first little princess-Jiujiu. In order to let more people know more about the finless porpoise and better participate in the finless porpoise protection, in 2022, Wuhan Agriculture and Rural Bureau, together with Hubei Branch of Xinhua News Agency and Institute of Aquatic Biology of Chinese Academy of Sciences, planned and launched the popular science public welfare action of "witnessing the delivery of the Yangtze finless porpoise". This is the first live webcast of the whole process of finless porpoise delivery in the world, attracting 220 million people to accompany the delivery online. Enthusiastic netizens named the little finless porpoise "Jiujiu" on the spot.

    Hao Yujiang, an associate researcher at the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that Jiujiu, who is about to celebrate his second birthday, is lively and healthy, weighing 42 kilograms and 1.27 meters long. He is the star finless porpoise in the Baibo Dolphin Museum.

    The fathers of two small finless porpoises are both Taotao, who were born in Wuhan Baiji Dolphin Museum on July 5, 2005. They are the first finless porpoises in the world to reproduce naturally in an artificial environment. These small finless porpoises have become the "second generation" finless porpoises naturally propagated in artificial environment, which has important scientific research value.

    Wang Chaoqun told reporters that the pregnancy cycle of finless porpoise is 12 months. Generally speaking, a female dolphin may breed 7-12 small finless porpoises in her lifetime. Wang Ding, a researcher at the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that the finless porpoise’s own reproductive ability is still relatively strong, and it can give birth to two babies in three years. In Tianezhou finless porpoise reserve, researchers have observed that some finless porpoises are pregnant again during breastfeeding.

    ■ Taotao Accompanying Diary

    Hello, everyone! I am Taotao, the world’s first Yangtze finless porpoise successfully bred in artificial environment.

    Tell everyone a good news! At 18: 15 on June 9, 2024, my third child was born.

    The Baiji Dolphin Museum has arranged a bright and spacious single room and intimate partners for Fujiu during pregnancy.

    Our Yangtze finless porpoise is the only aquatic mammal in the Yangtze River, and it is also a national first-class protected animal. It is known as the "smiling angel", and artificial breeding is one of the important ways to protect us. Now, the river has become clear, and the Yangtze River has gradually recovered its vitality. By 2023, the number of dolphins in our family had risen to 1,249.

    I have lived in Wuhan Baiji Dolphin Museum for 19 years. In 2020 and 2022, I had my son "Hanbao" and my daughter "Jiujiu" respectively. The children’s names imply that the dolphin born in Wuhan is happy and long-lasting.

    Last June, my daughter-in-law, the finless porpoise "Fujiu", was pregnant. During the delivery, I would like to thank the researchers of Baiji Dolphin Museum, Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences for taking good care of her.

    Today, I will expose this visual diary exclusively for everyone and share my joy with everyone who loves finless porpoises.

    Thanks to all the people who care about the finless porpoise! Everyone calls finless porpoises "smiling angels". May there be more and more "smiles" in this world.

Just yesterday, the Russian-Ukrainian war lasted for 1000 days.

At first, the whole world should not have expected that this geopolitical conflict would last so long.

From "blitzkrieg" to "protracted war", the peace talks between Russia and Ukraine seem to be quite far away, and it is likely to enter a dangerous new stage.

Yesterday, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a new version of the nuclear doctrine; Ukraine used American-made missiles to attack targets in Russia for the first time, and the G7 still declared that it would continue to be quite Ukraine.

The global political situation is ups and downs

On February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a special military operation in the Donbass region, and the whole territory of Ukraine entered a wartime state and broke diplomatic relations with Russia.

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine officially broke out.

Since then, Russia’s "blitzkrieg" failed, and the timeline of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine began to lengthen, which continues to this day.

Although the war between the two sides was once anxious, Russia was "unstoppable" and Ukraine also launched a big counterattack. However, under the agitation of western forces, it is still difficult for Russia and Ukraine to hold peace talks.

In the early morning of 19th local time, the Ukrainian army used six American Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles for the first time to attack targets in Russia.

On the same day, Putin signed a new version of the basic policy of Russia’s nuclear deterrent country. The new policy expands the scope of countries and military alliances where Russia can implement nuclear deterrence.

In the past two years, in addition to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, many battlefields in the Middle East have also been ignited.

The Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the Iraq-Israel conflict, the lebanon war and the Red Sea crisis … "The powder keg in the Middle East" was ignited at the same time.

Statistics show that since the new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict broke out on October 7 last year, 43,972 Palestinians have been killed and 104,008 injured in Israeli military operations in the Gaza.

It is noteworthy that this year is also a global election year, and Russia and the United States have successively held presidential elections.

In March this year, Russian President Vladimir Putin was re-elected and began his next six-year presidency, which is also his fifth presidency.

In his inaugural speech, Putin stressed that the interests and security of the Russian people are above everything else, and he will devote himself to safeguarding national unity and stability.

In November, the ups and downs of the American election were settled. Trump will officially take office in January next year and become the 47th president of the United States.

At present, for the current President Biden, there is not much time left for him, because Trump 2.0 declares that he will never wage war.

Therefore, since the end of the general election, the fighting on the Russian-Ukrainian front has become more tense with the naked eye.

Financial market turmoil

Whether it is the war between Russia and Ukraine or the battlefield in the Middle East, it has been stirring the nerves of the global market.

The most obvious is:Global risk aversion is heating up.

In the past two years, gold has skyrocketed. This year, spot gold peaked at $2,790 per ounce, and COMEX gold futures topped $2,800 per ounce.

According to the statistics of the World Gold Council, since 2024, the price of gold has hit a new high for more than 30 times.

Since the outbreak of Russia and Ukraine, the cumulative increase of spot gold has exceeded 37%.

Although the dollar has returned strongly since Trump won the election in November, the price of gold has been adjusted back for more than half a month. However, with the escalation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the price of gold seems to be making a comeback.

Wall Street is now bullish on gold prices, and UBS, Goldman Sachs and Bank of America have said that gold will go further.

UBS analysts said that gold will further rise to $2,950 per ounce by the end of 2026; Goldman Sachs also shouted "buy gold", with a target of $3,000 by the end of next year; Bank of America also said that before Trump took office, he would focus on China and European stock markets and gold.

Safe-haven demand pushed US debt higher, the yield curve leveled off and the panic index climbed.
