Is it reasonable to raise the small secret exemption limit of UnionPay card to 1000 yuan by default?

  Beijing, June 1 ST (Reporter Qiu Yu) Is there a word "flash payment" written on your bank card? If there is, you should pay attention. Starting from today, the single limit of small amount of confidentiality and visa exemption for UnionPay cards will be raised from 300 yuan to 1000 yuan.

  The reporter’s investigation found that many people don’t know that the bank "defaults" to open the function of small amount of confidentiality and visa exemption. What is a small amount of confidentiality and visa exemption? Is it reasonable for banks to open by default? Can I get compensation if my brush is stolen?

  What is a small amount of confidentiality and visa exemption?

  Simply put, this is a kind of "pay with one stroke" payment experience. Within a certain amount, you can complete the payment without entering a password and signature.

  Unionpay’s small confidential exemption visa was launched by China UnionPay in 2015, which is convenient and efficient.

  Which bank cards have this function? According to the announcement issued by UnionPay, cardholders need to use UnionPay chip cards or mobile payment devices with "flash payment" function. In other words, the magnetic stripe card cannot enable this function.

  The single limit was raised from 300 yuan to 1000 yuan.

  According to the announcement issued by UnionPay, starting from June 1, 2018, China UnionPay will jointly optimize the function of "small-amount confidential exemption and visa exemption" with member institutions. At that time, the single limit of small-amount confidential exemption and visa exemption for UnionPay chip debit cards and credit cards will be raised from 300 yuan to 1000 yuan.

  The reporter consulted a number of banks on May 31 and found that many banks have raised their quotas.

  According to the customer service staff of CITIC Bank in Beijing, the single consumption amount of small-sum confidential exemption and visa-free is no more than that of 1000 yuan, and the cumulative consumption amount of a single card per day is no more than 3,000 yuan.

  Bank of China, China Merchants Bank, etc. have issued announcements in official website to increase the quota, announcing that the single quota for small-sum confidential exemption will be raised from 300 yuan to 1000 yuan.

  Generally, the function is "default".

  You can pay by credit card without password, which makes many people worry about the security of bank cards. Then, when opening this function, did the bank get the consent of the cardholder?

  According to the information of UnionPay official website, small-sum confidential exemption and visa-free is a mature payment method in the world, and it is also the basic function of the default opening of bank cards, which makes cardholders pay more conveniently and quickly.

  According to previous media reports, Cardo, a newly-developed UnionPay chip in most banks, has opened a small amount of confidential and visa-free payment service by default, but the opening of this service does not require the prior consent of the cardholder.

  To this end, the reporter consulted the customer service staff of China Bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and other banks in Beijing, and was told that this function is enabled by default, but cardholders can apply to close it.

  According to the information disclosed by UnionPay official website, if the cardholder wants to turn off this function, he can contact the issuing bank to turn it off. At present, most issuing banks have supported the turn-off function.

  Is the "default" opening reasonable?

  "If the bank sets the small amount of confidential and visa-free payment function as the default, there is a problem in the procedure." Li Jiquan, a senior partner and lawyer of Beijing Junbang Law Firm, said, "Users have the right to know and choose. Banks should fully and effectively inform users of relevant contents and risks when opening the above functions, and let them sign for confirmation. "

  Li Jiquan pointed out that the decision of the bank to raise the payment limit needs to be made known to the cardholder himself. In this way, the cardholder can realize the possible risks when the bank card is held by others.

  Xiong Dingzhong, secretary-general of Tsinghua University Internet Law and Policy Research Center, said in an interview with Zhongxin.com that opening the secret-free function will indeed bring convenience to users, but it will also increase users’ risks. This kind of service should be specifically informed separately in the format contract between the user and the bank, just as the bank can’t open the U shield payment function by default.

  If this function has been enabled by default, Liu Junhai, director of the Institute of Commercial Law of Renmin University of China, believes that banks can tell users about the small-sum confidential and visa-free payment function by SMS, and if users disagree, they should be able to cancel it at any time.

  If the brush is stolen, you can get compensation

  Several users who hold bank cards with flash payment function said that they did not know that the bank card had been opened with the function of small secret-free and visa-free payment. While pursuing convenience, how to ensure the safety of using the card has become the most concerned issue for consumers.

  Considering the security of bank cards, in order to enhance the cardholder’s confidence in using the card, UnionPay pointed out in the announcement that for the loss caused by card theft and loss, if the compensation conditions are met, the cardholder can get compensation within a certain amount within 72 hours before reporting the loss.

  According to the information of UnionPay official website, if a small amount of confidential and visa-free transactions are stolen within 72 hours before the loss is reported, you should call the customer service of the issuing bank as soon as possible after the loss is reported, and apply for compensation according to the process of the issuing bank. The application materials to be provided by the cardholder generally include the cardholder’s identity certificate, the UnionPay card transaction denial statement, etc. After the application materials are approved, the compensation funds will generally be returned to the account designated by the cardholder within 10 working days. The payment time limit of different issuing banks is different.

  In this regard, Li Jiquan believes that if the customer is in a known state for opening a small amount of confidential and visa-free payment function, then the compensation within 72 hours is a supplement to the contract between the two parties; If the customer doesn’t know about this function, it can only be said that it is a remedial measure for the bank’s own behavior.

  Liu Junhai said that "compensation can be obtained within a certain amount" is rather vague, and suggested that it should be changed to "full compensation", which is the key to enhance the confidence of cardholders and can relieve users’ worries about the safety of using cards. (End)

Comment on the ninth crime of fabricating facts to crack down on opponents in the United States: "White Helmet" organization faked and posed as a tiger.

  Cartoon author: Lu Lingxing (People’s Network copyright picture, please do not reprint without authorization. )

  The "White Helmet" is a Syrian civil defense organization. Because its members often wear a white helmet in rescue activities, it is also known as the "white helmet". The organization has repeatedly discredited the Syrian government by video fraud. A number of American media disclosed that the United States is an important supporter of the organization.

  In November 2016, the NGO "White Helmet" admitted that the previously released video of the organization’s staff rescuing the wounded in Aleppo, Syria was a pose and issued an apology statement. In September 2018, the Russian Ministry of National Defense issued a statement saying that Syrian anti-government militants once again staged a fake scene of "being attacked by chemical weapons."

  In 2018, as the Syrian government forces regained more and more territory, the United States negotiated with its allies to help the "white helmet" withdraw from Syria. In 2019, then US President Trump publicly ordered to provide the organization with $4.5 million in aid.

  Faking, posing and acting, the United States is directing all this behind the scenes. However, he was not born in a class, and his poor acting skills were frequently seen through and exposed. The so-called non-governmental civil defense organizations are actually a group of American servants under the banner of humanitarianism. The United States tries to interfere in other countries’ internal affairs by subsidizing non-governmental organizations, and its hegemonic essence is obvious.

Make a real move to stabilize foreign trade! In the first eight months of this year, China’s import and export of goods was basically the same as that of the same period last year.

  This year, the global economic growth slowed down obviously, which brought great pressure and challenges to stabilizing foreign trade. However, after a series of comprehensive measures to stabilize foreign trade support policies, in the first eight months of this year, China’s import and export of goods were basically the same year-on-year.

  Among them, exports achieved month-on-month growth for three consecutive months, showing strong resilience. All localities and departments are also trying to increase the intensity of service enterprises.

  Multi-party efforts to stabilize foreign trade measures frequently "innovate"

  As a new foreign trade format with rapid development in China, cross-border e-commerce is an important way for many enterprises to obtain orders.

  Since the beginning of this year, in order to get more orders, many enterprises have chosen to enter overseas cross-border e-commerce platforms, but overseas platforms also have the risk of bankruptcy. How to solve the worries of enterprises, look at the practice of Ningbo, Zhejiang.

  This foreign trade enterprise in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province covers furniture, household goods, fitness products, holiday products and so on. Since it was sold on an e-commerce platform in North America, it has exceeded $10 million in sales in the first year. At present, enterprises intend to enter more overseas e-commerce platforms.

  Zhou Wenyi, Managing Director of Ningbo Excelle Group:In the near future, we plan to enter 2 ~ 3 new platforms in North America to further expand new overseas markets.

  Zhou Wenyi told reporters that most cross-border e-commerce platforms require sellers to open accounts in the platform. After consumers place an order for payment, it will take half a month to two months before the seller can withdraw the payment. During this period, once the platform encounters risks, the sales of enterprises may not be collected.

  In order to enable the majority of small and medium-sized enterprises to boldly expand the market with the help of cross-border e-commerce platforms. China Xinbao, the only policy insurance company in China, innovatively launched cross-border e-commerce insurance to provide security for the export of cross-border e-commerce products.

  Lai Yi, Account Manager of China Xinbao Ningbo Branch:The new cross-border e-commerce insurance is based on the sales agreement between cross-border e-commerce enterprises and platforms in China, covering risks such as the bankruptcy of platforms, ensuring the safety of the whole fund with a small premium, and allowing small and medium-sized enterprises to expand overseas markets with confidence.

  According to reports, the rate of cross-border e-commerce insurance is comprehensively determined according to factors such as insurance scale, account period, industry of the enterprise, and credit standing of cross-border e-commerce platform. Take Ningbo as an example, their insurance cost is equivalent to about 2% of the product profit. If there is a risk on the platform after insurance, China Xinbao will generally complete the loss assessment within 4 months, and the amount of compensation will be 80%-90% of the sales.

  It is understood that since the pilot of cross-border e-commerce insurance in Ningbo, more than 10 enterprises have insured, and it is estimated that the guaranteed sales amount will exceed 1 billion yuan.

  Take the initiative as a comparison standard to help foreign trade enterprises deliver orders

  This year, some enterprises in China have also received many overseas urgent orders, but due to technical barriers in standards, the delivery of orders is not timely.

  In Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, the local inspection and testing department took the initiative to help enterprises solve the problem of inconsistency between national standards and international standards and remove obstacles for enterprises to deliver orders. (Pick up the film)

  Yangzhou, Jiangsu, a manufacturing enterprise, its products are widely used in offshore wind power, bridges and docks, high-speed trains and subways. Since the beginning of this year, the overseas customers of products have been expanding, but many new customers require enterprises to provide product inspection reports based on international standards. Previously, the test reports of these products were based on national standards, which made the enterprise difficult.

  Li Haijun, General Manager of Jiangsu Juxin Petroleum Steel Pipe Co., Ltd.:Some are against American API-2B certification standards, and some are against Canadian CWB certification standards, including EU CE certification standards.

  The enterprise found the local inspection and testing department, carefully studied these international standards after understanding the situation, and compared them with domestic standards. Through comparison, it was found that all the international standards involved had been adopted by national standards.

  Liu Chang, Engineer of Yangzhou Inspection and Testing Center:Both the content and the structure are the same, and there is no substantial difference. It shows their foreign customers the rationality of using national standards as the testing basis, and eliminates their foreign customers’ misunderstanding and doubts about our national standard system.

  Liu Chang introduced that they took the initiative to face foreign customers, introduced the international standards adopted in the national standards one by one, and supplemented the corresponding explanations, so that foreign customers recognized the test report. At present, in the field of steel pipe piles, China’s testing and certification by national standards is equivalent to international standards, and it has been recognized and adopted in Canada, Australia and other countries.

  Moreover, in order to complete the delivery of the order as soon as possible, the time for issuing the test report has also been greatly improved.

  Liu Chang, Engineer of Yangzhou Inspection and Testing Center:Our center has issued more than 1,500 test reports for foreign trade enterprises, helping foreign trade enterprises to deliver orders and realize income generation of about 300 million yuan.

  Set up special foreign trade credit to support enterprises to "go to sea"

  Since the third quarter, policy-oriented financial institutions have continuously increased credit support in the field of foreign trade.

  Help enterprises to speed up going out to sea by setting up special credit for foreign trade.

  At the cargo terminal of Shuangliu International Airport in Chengdu, Sichuan, the staff of this air freight enterprise are busy playing the board and sending 58 tons of e-commerce products to Europe.

  Dong Zhijian, Business Manager of Aviation Logistics Department of Sichuan International Air Freight Development Co., Ltd.:Today’s flight is to London, which is a new route we opened this year.

  Dong Zhijian told reporters that at present, the proportion of cross-border e-commerce goods they carry has increased from 10% last year to about 40%. In order to meet the cross-border transportation needs of e-commerce customers, they have been actively expanding routes this year, but now enterprises are also facing the problem of tight funds.

  How to solve the financial problems faced by foreign trade enterprises? Not long ago, the Sichuan Provincial Department of Commerce and The Export-Import Bank of China Sichuan Branch issued a number of measures, including setting up a special credit line of 50 billion yuan for foreign trade and expanding preferential policies for import financing, to provide policy-based financial support for stabilizing foreign trade.

  Wu Qi, Vice President of The Export-Import Bank of China Sichuan Branch:We set up a professional team to analyze the demands of enterprises one by one. For example, some enterprises need short-term funds, some enterprises need to resume orders, others need to guard against exchange rate risks, and some even need to help solve cross-border customs clearance and logistics problems. When the problem is identified, the effect of serving foreign trade naturally comes out.

  In response to the financial needs of this enterprise, the newly established 50 billion yuan special credit line for foreign trade soon landed its first credit business, granting nearly 2.4 billion yuan of credit to enterprises and issuing nearly 1.2 billion yuan of loans and import credit to foreign trade enterprises. With the support of financial policy, next month, enterprises will add freight routes from Chengdu to Liege, Belgium, which will not only support their own foreign trade business, but also help cross-border e-commerce enterprises to quickly "go out to sea".

Super hybrid wisdom flagship SUVPHEV

Hongqi HS7 PHEV is equipped with the latest "super hybrid" technology of Hongqi brand, and cooperates with HDU35 high-efficiency hybrid special motor with the highest speed of 20,000 r/min. The maximum power reaches 358kW, which can explode strong power in a very short time. The acceleration time of the vehicle is only 6.8s per 100 kilometers. Combined with the excellent tracking performance of the front four-wheel drive system, it can help the vehicle to drive out of the muddy road easily and smoothly, and bring full confidence to the driver.

Red flag HS7 PHEV is a variety of driving modes.The plug-in hybrid system supports "4 engines and 8 modes", that is, pure electric front drive, pure electric rear drive, direct engine drive and hybrid drive, etc. It is not necessary to adjust one by one according to the field environment, just choose the driving mode, and all the rest will be controlled by the computer.The following are the power output and energy distribution in different modes:

Pure electric four-wheel drive/two-wheel drive modepower take offMainly relying on the motor to provide power, in the pure electric four-wheel drive mode, the front and rear motors work together to output strong torque, which makes the vehicle have excellent acceleration performance and dynamic response, and can bring a quiet and rapid driving experience, which is suitable for low-speed driving on urban roads or scenes that require high quietness.

Energy distributionAccording to the driving state of the vehicle and the driver’s operation, the output power of the front and rear motors is intelligently distributed. For example, when driving smoothly, the power distribution of the front and rear motors is relatively balanced to ensure the stability of the vehicle; In the case of acceleration, climbing or high-speed cornering, the output power of the front and rear motors will be adjusted in real time according to the dynamic demand of the vehicle, for example, the power output of the rear motor will be increased to enhance the traction and handling of the vehicle.

Series four-wheel drive/two-wheel drive modepower take offThe engine is mainly used to drive the generator to generate electricity, and the generated electricity is supplied to the motor-driven vehicle. At this time, the motor is still the main power source, and the power output characteristics are similar to those in pure electric mode, with good dynamic response and acceleration performance. This mode is suitable for the situation that the battery power is insufficient but still needs a certain power output, for example, when the battery power is gradually reduced during long-distance driving.Energy distributionThe output power of the engine is mainly used for power generation. According to the power demand of the vehicle and the state of the battery, the control system will automatically adjust the engine speed and power generation to ensure stable power supply to the motor. At the same time, according to the driving conditions of the vehicle, the electric energy will be reasonably distributed to the front and rear motors to ensure the dynamic performance and driving stability of the vehicle.

Energy recovery four-wheel drive/two-wheel drive modepower take offWhen the vehicle is decelerating or braking, the motor is switched to the generator working mode, and the kinetic energy of the vehicle is converted into electric energy and stored in the battery. At this time, the power output is mainly used to achieve the braking effect, not to drive the vehicle forward. Through energy recovery, the utilization rate of energy can be effectively improved and the cruising range of vehicles can be increased.

Energy distributionIn the process of energy recovery, both front and rear motors will participate in kinetic energy recovery. The control system will dynamically adjust the energy recovery of the front and rear motors according to factors such as the braking intensity of the vehicle, the vehicle speed and the charging state of the battery. For example, when braking suddenly, the front and rear motors may recover energy with greater power; When slowing down slowly, the energy recovery power is relatively small to ensure the stability and comfort of braking.

Parallel four-wheel drive/two-wheel drive modepower take offThe engine and motor work at the same time to provide power for the vehicle. In this mode, the advantages of engine and motor can be brought into full play, and powerful power output can be achieved. It is suitable for high-speed driving, overtaking and scenes requiring large power reserve, such as when overtaking quickly on the expressway.

Energy distributionAccording to the driving demand of the vehicle and the working state of the power system, the control system will adjust the energy distribution ratio between the engine and the motor in real time. Under normal driving conditions, the engine and the motor may jointly output power according to a certain proportion to give consideration to power performance and fuel economy; When a large power output is needed, such as sudden acceleration or climbing, the motor may provide a large auxiliary power to work with the engine to make the vehicle obtain stronger power performance.

The maximum power of the motor at the rear axle of the vehicle reaches 70kW, which can ensure the posture of the vehicle body in the state of rapid acceleration, the stability under complex working conditions and enhance the comfort. On the other hand, this setting is based on the four-bar rear suspension. Compared with some other suspension structures, it can give priority to locking the comfort foundation in effect and avoid the risk of mashup caused by complex adjustment. For example, in Altay, where the mountainous area accounts for one-third of the total area, the gravel road surface passing through the test drive often causes strong car body vibration and bumps. Thanks to the IDCS intelligent variable damping and shock absorption function carried by Hongqi HS7 PHEV, the whole car can monitor the road surface and car body posture in real time, automatically adjust the front and rear damping distribution, and realize a smooth and comfortable driving experience throughout the journey, thus enhancing the comfort and stability.

In terms of fuel consumptionThis car is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 2.0T engine and a motor, which ensures power performance and achieves better fuel economy through hybrid technology.245. In addition, it has a "four engines and eight modes" driving mode, which can switch between pure electric four-wheel drive/two-wheel drive, series four-wheel drive/two-wheel drive, energy recovery four-wheel drive/two-wheel drive and parallel four-wheel drive/two-wheel drive, and can automatically optimize power output and energy distribution according to different driving conditions, further reducing fuel consumption.

No matter how much power, space or long-lasting endurance stability far exceeds that of the same model, going out instead of walking or traveling by car is versatile and labor-saving, so we have to praise the light of domestic products.

Starway will "break" the calm, which version is more worth starting with?

Middle-aged people tend to be more interested in sedate models. The atmospheric design and exquisite interior are the characteristics of such models, which are excellent choices for going to work or picking up children. What I bring to you today is that it has many highlights. Let’s get to know each other.

First of all, from the appearance, the front face design of Starway Chasing Wind is very unique, and the air intake grille adopts layered modeling, which looks very simple. Combined with the headlights of the spirit, it is very visually impactful. The car is equipped with LED daytime running lights, delayed shutdown and so on. Coming to the side of the car, the size of the car body is 4538 mm * 1848 mm * 1699 mm. The car adopts fashionable lines, giving people a very fashionable and simple feeling. With large-sized thick-walled tires, the shape is quite elegant. At the rear of the car, the overall shape of the rear of the car echoes the front of the car, and the taillight style is more dignified. Together with the bilateral double exhaust pipes, it is still relatively domineering and stylish.

When I arrived in the car, the interior of the Star Road Chasing Wind adopted a fashionable shape, which was consistent with the positioning of the car. The steering wheel design of this car is very sharp, and it is equipped with the functions of manual steering wheel up and down+front and rear adjustment, which gives a very good grip experience. Take a look at the central control. The car is equipped with an elegant touch-sensitive LCD central control screen, which makes the interior style impressive and sharp. The dashboard and seats are equally eye-catching, and the dashboard of the car presents a comfortable design style and a sense of technology. The car adopts imitation leather seats, and the seat wrapping is in place, and the overall comfort and wrapping are not bad.

Star-way wind-chasing matched CVT gearbox, with maximum power of 115KW and maximum torque of 230N.m, has good power performance.

Starway Chasing Wind is equipped with remote control keys, rear wipers, indoor ambient lights, traction control (ASR/TCS, etc.), support for CarPlay and other configurations, which can be said to be quite satisfactory.

This car performs well in terms of space and configuration. As for the design, everyone has everyone’s aesthetics. As long as you like it, go ahead and buy it.

Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the National Day is approaching-the mass consumer market is still hot.

  Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the "Eleventh" Golden Week followed. As in the past, the consumer market is still hot in this double festival, and marketing ideas are frequently new. However, unlike the past, traditional food consumption is returning to its original meaning, and the e-commerce platform of mass consumption channel is pursuing "fast" and "truth" at the same time, and personalized travel has increasingly become the first choice of many families … … Please follow the reporter to see this "two-festival" mass consumer market — —

  Diet: Returning to Consumption Rationality

  Compared with previous years, this year’s holiday food market has lost the "sky-high price" gimmick and is constantly moving towards rationality.

  Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the reporter visited many supermarkets and stores in Beijing and found that the mooncakes of traditional time-honored brands such as Beijing Daoxiang Village, Guangzhou Restaurant and Wufangzhai were the most eye-catching, with prices ranging from 50 yuan to 300 yuan. Among them, the traditional mooncakes with simple packaging, such as bean paste, coconut paste and five kernels, have regained public love. Many customers said that they mainly buy moon cakes at home or give them to relatives and friends, so they pay more attention to cost performance, and the categories are mainly low-sugar and low-calorie old traditional tastes.

  Some mooncake brand stores and baking shops reduced the sales of over-packaged mooncakes, and began to approach consumers actively, offering mooncake baking courses and inviting consumers to interact with pastry chefs. In Chaoyang Joy City, Xizhimen Kaide MALL, and oriental ginza Lane, many DIY bakery shops have advertised courses such as "Flowing Moon Cake" and "Frozen Moon Cake", with prices ranging from 128 yuan to 388 yuan.

  Liu Meiting, a Beijing mother who has been on business all the year round, decided to take her 5-year-old daughter to a bakery to make moon cakes this year. She told reporters that the moon cakes made by herself are cheaper than those sold in shopping malls because of saving the time cost of baking and making fillings more easily. Making moon cakes by yourself not only increases the opportunities for parent-child interaction, but also shows sincerity in giving them away.

  "Now moon cakes are returning to the original meaning of reunion, and the utilitarian exchange function has been diluted." Liu Meiting feels that this makes the cultural significance of family reunion and happiness carried by the Mid-Autumn Festival more "original".

  In addition to the hot moon cake market, Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are also traditional food and beverage consumption seasons. During the two festivals this year, a series of food promotion activities in various places continued to be carried out. In Beijing, the International Western Food Festival, the Mid-Autumn International Food Festival and the Shunyi Flower Port Chrysanthemum Light and Food Festival of the 2018 Beijing International Food Festival have been opened one after another. In Zhuhai, Doumen Food Festival will be officially launched on October 1st. In Changsha, the International Food Expo introduced all kinds of delicious food, which attracted many "foodies".

  At the same time, some consumers choose to look for traditional memories in time-honored restaurants. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, some catering enterprises in Beijing launched special family dishes with the theme of "reunion", which were both homely and affordable, and were well received by the market. On September 24th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, consumers who went to old restaurants such as Donglaishun, Cheap Square and Zhimeilou had a long queue. "During the three-day Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, the box has already been fully booked, and customers started booking a month ago." Manager Li of Taoranting Store in Zhimeilou introduced.

  According to the statistics of Beijing Municipal Commission of Commerce, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, mass catering was sought after by the public, and the turnover of Meizhou Dongpo Restaurant and Jindingxuan increased by more than 10% year-on-year. The turnover of time-honored catering enterprises such as Quyuan Restaurant and Ma Kai Restaurant increased by more than 5% year-on-year.

  Online shopping: both fast and true

  Using big data, artificial intelligence and other technical means to upgrade the production, circulation and sales of goods, and deeply integrate online services, offline experiences and modern logistics are the new trends of this year’s "Double Festival".

  Among them, the marketing of Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs is "going into the lake from heaven", and the Internet technology is fully applied. Although the "Opening Lake" time announced by Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs this year is September 21st, the related "pre-sale coupons" and "subscription coupons" have already been on sale.

  According to statistics released by Tmall, on September 9 alone, the platform traded 3.9 million hairy crabs. Shanghai, Beijing, Hangzhou, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are in the forefront of consumption. "Crab powder" born in 1984-1993 is the mainstream, "eating" 51% of the share.

  "Fast" is the key word of hairy crab marketing this year. In order to win this "fresh-keeping war", several major e-commerce platforms have tried their best to innovate logistics distribution methods in an effort to "deliver directly" and "arrive immediately". JD.COM Fresh uses drones to deliver fresh crabs for the first time in the industry, and it can deliver freshly caught crabs within 48 hours in nearly 300 cities across the country, among which consumers in more than 190 cities can receive live crabs within 24 hours. Alibaba announced that from September 26th, consumers in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen can enjoy the "one-hour delivery" service after placing orders at Tmall Supermarket, and so on.

  Xue Cheng, a "senior foodie" who lives in Guanganmenwai Street, Beijing, ordered a delivery voucher for Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs worth 1188 yuan on a shopping website early. It took less than 24 hours from placing an order to receiving the goods. "When I got the courier, 12 hairy crabs were still alive and kicking, so fresh."

  Xue Cheng told reporters that while pursuing "fast", this year’s hairy crab e-commerce has put more emphasis on "genuine goods" and "quality and quantity". Some merchants have docked blockchain technology and supported the traceability of hairy crab products to dispel consumers’ concerns about "bathing crabs" and "branded crabs". "As long as you take out your mobile phone and scan the anti-counterfeiting label at the seal of the outer packaging box, you can get a lot of information such as the place of origin, growth environment, quality inspection report, fishing date and so on." Xue Cheng said.

  There are endless promotion methods, not only Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs. During the "Double Festival" this year, all localities actively innovated marketing methods around the demand for consumption upgrading. A number of e-commerce platforms integrate modern technological elements such as scene shopping, experiential shopping and live video broadcasting, and launch activities such as shared consumption and online and offline sharing discounts to attract consumers’ attention. The signs of online retail driving consumption upgrading are becoming more and more obvious.

  Travel: more personalized

  Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely, and I say autumn is better than spring. For people who like to travel, this year’s Golden Week is a veritable "spell holiday week". The spell holiday strategy of "please take 6 breaks and 16 breaks" and "please take 5 breaks and 14 breaks" has made many office workers eager to move as early as a few months ago.

  Many online travel platforms have predicted that this year’s National Day holiday will usher in a new round of long-distance travel boom. Ctrip predicts that the number of outbound tourists in China will reach 7 million during the National Day holiday this year, accounting for about 5% of the outbound tourists in the whole year. Among them, 56% tourists will choose long-distance tours for more than one week, such as Europe, Eastern Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

  According to the statistics of Mama Donkey, since the beginning of July this year, China has entered the growth period of long-distance outbound tour products for the National Day, and August is the peak of domestic long-distance tour bookings, and Zhou Bianyou bookings have increased substantially in September. Beijing, Sanya, Xiamen, Lijiang, Xi ‘an, Chengdu and Guiyang have become popular cities for long-distance travel in China. Japanese, Singaporean, Vietnamese, Thai, China and Hongkong are among the top destinations for outbound travel.

  Judging from the crowd of tourists, the proportion of orders for two to three people to travel exceeds 70%, with one big and one small, two big and one small becoming the mainstream, and "taking the baby to travel" has become the new normal of the National Day holiday. Among them, Disneyland, Chimelong Happy World, Haichang Polar Aquarium, Beijing Zoo and chengdu research base of giant panda are favored by parents and family tourists.

  According to the forecast report released by Gaode Map, since the Mid-Autumn Festival is separated from the National Day by 6 working days, it is expected that there will be several small travel peaks, and the greater travel demand is still concentrated during the National Day. October 3 rd is the first choice for peak travel.

  It is worth mentioning that with the increasing experience of tourists, the tourism income has gradually increased. The demand for personalized travel is gradually increasing. Compared with group travel, free travel is increasingly favored. Especially for young people, they care more about the quality, depth and customization of travel. In addition to traveling, the importance of food, shelter, transportation, shopping and entertainment in tourism has been continuously strengthened.

  Of course, it is inevitable to book a hotel when traveling on holidays and planning ahead of time. Many consumers are used to booking rooms online, but while enjoying convenience, disputes sometimes occur. In this regard, China Consumers Association reminds consumers that after booking online, it is best to confirm directly with the reserved hotel phone number before they can travel with confidence. At the same time, it is suggested that consumers should pay attention to the decoration of the hotel when booking the hotel, and try to avoid choosing to stay in the newly renovated hotel in case the decoration pollution is too heavy to make it impossible to stay.

Artificial breeding of Yangtze finless porpoises adds a new member to the family, so long as the environment is suitable, finless porpoises can have two births every three years.

    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.

It’s better to come early than coincidentally, test drive the Toyota Corolla 1.2T

accelerate brake fuel consumption second rice liter Measured fuel consumption 4.3L test FAW Toyota Corolla Dual Engine Review Editor – Zhang Ke:

We are already very familiar with the hybrid system, the driving experience is relatively smooth, and driving in urban areas is very fuel-efficient. In fact, the biggest highlight is the price. This is the first time the hybrid system has been produced in a country other than Japan, and the cost is greatly reduced, making the hybrid model not too expensive than the conventional power model, and it is easier to get back the cost! If you often drive in urban areas, it is recommended to buy

Review Editor – Li Jia:

The sales of the gasoline version of the Corolla are already quite eye-catching at this level, so I am not worried about the market performance of the Corolla Dual Engine, because it is only a little more expensive than the ordinary gasoline version of the Corolla, but it is definitely a high-value, low-cost Corolla. If you don’t pay attention to the power flow diagram on the dashboard during daily driving, you can basically drive it as an ordinary gasoline version of the Corolla.

Review Editor -:

As a family car that focuses on economy, the performance of the Corolla Duo Engine is very satisfactory. Although the power is not outstanding, it can also meet the needs of urban transportation. The key point is the super economy, which makes people impeccable. Overall performance, I think it is not too much for the Corolla Duo Engine to get nine points. But unfortunately, in most areas, the Corolla Duo Engine is not included in the scope of subsidies for new energy vehicles, which is quite a pity, because the Duo Engine power does not need to rely on charging piles, it only needs to be refueled, and it has the advantages of more fuel-efficient traffic congestion, and the technology is mature. It can only be said that it is a bit "born at the wrong time".
