It’s about to start! The United States announced a full-scale resumption of sanctions against Iran, and its response to Iran was calm.

       CCTV News:On November 2nd, local time, US Secretary of State Pompeo and Finance Minister Mnuchin jointly issued a statement announcing that sanctions on Iranian energy and banking will be restarted on the 5th of this month. This is the second batch of sanctions against Iraq restarted after the United States announced its withdrawal from the comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue in May this year. At that time, the United States will fully resume the sanctions against Iraq lifted by the Iranian nuclear deal.

       US Secretary of State Pompeo said that the latest targets of sanctions will include Iran’s energy, shipbuilding, transportation and financial industries, and the US will impose sanctions on countries and enterprises that continue to buy Iranian oil and do business with blacklisted Iranian companies from November 5.

       Pompeo said that eight countries or regions will be granted temporary exemptions and can continue to purchase Iranian petroleum products, because they have greatly reduced Iranian crude oil imports, and the United States will give them more time to achieve "zero imports". The United States will ensure that this part of the Iranian government’s income from petroleum products can only be used for humanitarian procurement and non-sanction trade. According to foreign media reports, the eight exempted countries and regions may include Japan, South Korea, India and Turkey, and the US will announce the full list on November 5th.

       In addition, Pompeo also listed 12 requirements that need to be met in order to lift the sanctions against Iran, including "stopping the financing of terrorism, stopping military operations in Syria, and stopping the research and development of ballistic missiles" and so on.

       After announcing its withdrawal from the Iranian nuclear comprehensive agreement in May this year, the White House announced on August 6 that it would restart a series of sanctions on Iran’s finance, metals, minerals, automobiles and other non-energy fields from August 7. Sanctions will involve the Iranian government’s purchase of precious metals such as dollars and gold, industrial graphite, steel, aluminum, coal and software, transactions related to Iranian currency, activities related to the issuance of sovereign debt by the Iranian government, and the Iranian automobile industry.

       Up to now, the U.S. government has imposed 19 rounds of sanctions on Iran in 168 fields. On November 5th, the U.S. Treasury Department will publish a list of more than 700 individual units that have been sanctioned, including more than 300 new targets in addition to those that have been lifted by the the Iranian nuclear deal.

       According to Reuters, Turkey and Iraq have received confirmation that they can be exempted from the US sanctions against Iran.

       Turkish Energy Minister Donmez No.2 said that Turkey has received the exemption confirmation from the United States and can continue to import oil from Iran for the time being. An Iraqi official also said on the same day that he had received permission from the United States to continue to import key energy and food materials from Iran as long as he did not pay dollars to Iran. In addition, according to a source, India and South Korea are also on the exemption list of the United States.

       [Response] Iran called the new round of sanctions "not worth mentioning"

       After the United States announced that it would fully resume sanctions against Iran, US President Trump said that sanctions against Iran are beginning and Iran will be hit hard. In this regard, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman No.2 said that Iran is not worried about the new sanctions against the United States because the United States will not be able to implement sanctions against Iran. The spokesman also said that under the sanctions of the United States, Iran also has the ability to manage economic affairs well.

       Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ghasemi told national television on the same day that "the United States will not be able to take any effective measures against Iran, and Iran has the knowledge and ability to manage national economic affairs." He also said that "through these sanctions, the United States can achieve its economic goals. The possibility is very small, and it is impossible to achieve its political goals through such sanctions."

       In response to the announcement by the United States that it will exempt eight countries and regions that import oil from Iran, Cadol, deputy minister of Iranian Oil Ministry, said that the exemption shows that "the oil market needs Iran, and Iran cannot completely withdraw".

       In May this year, the United States announced its withdrawal from the Iranian nuclear deal, and since then, it has repeatedly imposed sanctions on Iran. The State Council announced in June that it would ask countries to stop importing Iranian oil in November, otherwise relevant countries and enterprises would face economic sanctions.

       [Impact] Rising prices have affected people’s lives

       Since the US sanctions started in August this year, the Iranian currency, the Iranian rial, has depreciated sharply, which has greatly affected people’s lives. After the US sanctions were launched, the Iranian rial fell to an all-time low against the US dollar. In the local unofficial market, the currency depreciation once exceeded three times. As a result, residents’ savings have shrunk and prices have risen rapidly. When the reporter interviewed in Tehran, the capital of Iran, many people said that the cost of living has increased and life is getting worse.

       The Iranian people say that they simply don’t believe the US government’s statement that "the purpose of sanctions is only to put pressure on the Iranian government", because it is the people who suffer. The local people told reporters that although the Iranian country and people are suffering, they are not afraid and will not bow to hegemony. On the contrary, the United States is losing its international credibility in this sanctions.

       [Statement] European countries deeply regret the US decision.

       In response to the United States’ announcement of a comprehensive resumption of sanctions against Iran, the EU, France, Germany and Britain said in a joint statement that they deeply regret the decision of the United States.

       Mogherini, the European Union’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, and the finance ministers of France, Germany and Britain said that they would protect European economic entities that have legitimate business dealings with Iran under the European legal framework and UN Security Council Resolution 2231.

Haier: quality leads to create a world-class enterprise.

Quality standards should be defined by users.

Haier: quality leads to create a world-class enterprise.

□ Our reporter Zhu Wenda

As a representative of the real economy, Haier has entered more than 200 countries and regions around the world, and has been ranked among the top 10 "Top 50 Global Brands in China" by Google & Kaidu for seven consecutive years. If China enterprises are facing the world to create a shining business card of China quality, then Haier is one of the best practitioners and leaders.

Haier pioneered a quality management system with the best user experience as the core. Haier believes that quality standards should be defined by users, inspection is not the standard, and customer satisfaction is the standard. Therefore, quality should pay attention not only to performance standards, but also to user experience. Haier’s quality management system has triggered a learning trend of cross-industry, cross-field and cross-cultural enterprises, which has made the world see the innovative development of quality management in China and provided the world with a "China plan" for quality management.

Initiate-

China’s quality management model leads the Internet of Things era.

In the development of human society, every innovation in the field of quality has promoted the progress of production technology and the improvement of residents’ quality of life. Looking back at the history of global quality management, we have to mention some famous quality management methods, such as Total Quality Management and Six Sigma: the popularization and application of Total Quality Management has made Japanese products synonymous with high quality in the world; After the success of General Electric, Six Sigma went to the world.


Haier team took part in the presentation of the basic quality innovation project of China Electronic Quality Association and China Light Industry Federation.

Since the reform and opening up, China has actively studied advanced quality management theories and methods from Japan, the United States, Europe and other countries, and applied them to enterprise practice, which has promoted the improvement of product quality in China. Entering the Internet of Things era, the business environment is constantly changing, and the rapid economic development in China provides the soil for the birth of quality management mode in China.

Haier pioneered a quality management system with the best user experience as the core.

First, how should quality be defined? Haier believes that quality standards should be defined by users, inspection is not the standard, and customer satisfaction is the standard. Therefore, quality should pay attention not only to performance standards, but also to user experience.

The traditional quality system includes the whole process of R&D, manufacturing, production and service, which is linear. But Haier’s quality system is different. Haier takes users as the center, makes users become producers and consumers, participates in R&D, design and manufacturing in the whole process, and builds a continuously evolving experience cloud platform to provide users with new experiences of diversified scenes, personalized customization and lifelong iteration.

For example, before 2016, there will be at least 10 cm gap between refrigerators and cabinets in users’ homes around the world. In 2016, casarte, a high-end brand of Haier Group, reduced the distance from 10 cm to 2 cm. However, Chinese consumers are still not satisfied, because the refrigerator and home are still not perfectly integrated, and it is easy to accumulate dust in the gap and inconvenient to take care of. This is also a problem that the industry has been unable to solve for many years, because the door of the ordinary refrigerator can not be opened after being embedded at zero distance, and the two sides can not effectively dissipate heat, which will bring great security risks. Focusing on users’ needs, casarte R&D personnel eliminated the last 2 cm in five years. On the one hand, they sorted out 4 major technical topics and 45 sub-topics, and set up a technical team of nearly 100 people in 7 major professional directions, which lasted more than 20,000 hours to create an original scientific and technological refrigeration system; On the other hand, after dozens of iterations, they innovatively introduced the design scheme of the second rotating shaft, and finally designed and developed the original technology of double-axis track-changing hinge, which realized that the refrigerator can be flush with the cabinet and connected with the lines.

Secondly, Haier endowed the quality system with higher standards and connotations, namely "high-quality products, high-quality systems and high-quality people".

High-quality products should have two characteristics: first, high reliability, which is the basis of quality; The second is high brand loyalty.

The high-quality system not only opens up the whole process from R&D and design, module procurement to intelligent manufacturing, intelligent service and quality guarantee period within the enterprise, but also covers the ecological stakeholders of all nodes such as suppliers, distributors and service providers, and realizes the high quality of the whole process, all nodes and all cycles.

High-quality talents are not only the foundation of the quality system, but also the continuation and guarantee of the system. In Haier, it is necessary to establish a high-quality workforce and a corporate culture that respects users. It is necessary to instill the corporate culture in the hearts of every employee, so that the craftsman spirit can be turned into corporate genes and integrated into the DNA of the enterprise.

Relying on the leading quality management concept and practice, Haier won the first China Quality Award in 2013. In addition, Haier has won many domestic and international awards, including the national quality benchmark, the quality technology award, and the "Olympic" (ICQCC project) gold award in the quality industry, and has become one of the enterprises with the largest number of such awards in the industry.

Subversion-

Digital intelligence drives life cycle quality guidance.

Economic development and technological innovation promote the continuous innovation of quality management system and methods. In order to keep pace with the times, enterprises must focus on improving the quality management level, especially to conform to the new round of scientific and technological revolution and the general trend of industrial transformation, accelerate the construction of digital and intelligent quality control mode, and realize the digital upgrade of quality management.

Haier exerts its strength from the practice of innovative quality management, and drives the innovation of quality management with digitalization and intelligence. First of all, in terms of equipment as the production base, Haier built an intelligent equipment self-optimization system based on digital twin technology, and built an IOT platform for equipment. Through the collection of key parameters and real-time interconnection of parameters, it can monitor equipment, process and production operation parameters at any time, diagnose and deal with abnormal data found in time, and turn the original fault maintenance into predictive maintenance beforehand. Secondly, in terms of technology, Haier has built a process design platform integrating R&D and manufacturing, providing a digital, traceable, reusable data base for lean manufacturing and intelligent operation.

Technological innovation is an important part of digital and intelligent innovation quality management. Haier carries out innovation around three key points: first, automation technology innovation, extensive application of intelligent cooperative robots and logistics automation technology, and creation of intelligent man-machine cooperation working environment; Secondly, detection technology innovation, Haier has carried out all-factor and process verification experiments in the application of visual detection technology and performance intelligent detection station of sound quality intelligent detection system; Third, the new ICT technology innovation, the whole industry has opened up hundreds of application scenarios of the integration of information technology and manufacturing technology, such as 5G+ machine vision, 5G+AR, 5G+AI+MEC, and formed standardized and modular products that can be quickly copied. At present, it has successfully empowered 20 world-leading interconnected factories, helped 4 factories pass the level 4 certification of intelligent manufacturing maturity, 2 factories were awarded the intelligent manufacturing benchmark, and 6 factories were awarded the "lighthouse factory" in the world.


Intelligent+5G Interconnected Factory Based on Haier COSMOPlat Mass Customization Mode

In terms of test and inspection equipment support, Haier has the first-class testing capability in the home appliance industry and the international leading 700+ professional laboratory, covering 50,000+testing projects in the field of whole machine and module testing, and has been recognized by many international authoritative testing institutions such as CNAS, VDE, JET, UL and TüV, and obtained mutual recognition of data. At the same time, Haier has the first "Industrial Product Quality Control and Technical Evaluation Laboratory" awarded by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in China.

Haier did not stop at the digital technological innovation of quality management, but also exported the "Haier Scheme" for the high-quality experience of users and the high-quality development of the industry by transforming the achievements of quality technological innovation into patents. For example, in the process of breaking through the needs of users, Haier has applied for 17 patents, including 6 invention patents, such as intelligent detection and isolation technology of communication faults in control panels, which has solved the quality management problems that have plagued the industry for many years.

Pilotage-

Help the high-quality development of China’s real economy

The fourth industrial revolution is subverting almost all industries. At present, a new generation of information technologies, such as Internet of Things, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and big data, are deeply integrated, breaking the boundaries between the digital world and the physical world. At the moment when Chinese-style modernization is fully promoted, promoting the high-quality development of the real economy with digitalization has become a "required question" for enterprises.

Based on nearly 40 years’ manufacturing experience, Haier initiated the COSMOPlat industrial Internet platform in kaos in 2017, which takes mass customization as the core and introduces users’ full-process participation experience. While empowering Haier to transform itself from a "digital enterprise" to a "digital enterprise", it also empowers more enterprises and industries to achieve high-quality development.

On the enterprise side, Compass is an RV manufacturer in Rongcheng, Shandong Province, and was selected as the second batch of state-level specialized and innovative "Little Giant" enterprises. Aiming at the pain points of the original products, such as homogenization, high cost, long cycle and weak R&D ability, kaos COSMOPlat has provided transformation consulting, lean transformation and mass customization mode transformation schemes to help it link ecological resources and change its business model, which has reduced its procurement cost by 7.3%, shortened its delivery cycle by 43%, increased its revenue by nearly five times and achieved rapid growth in profits. Empowered by COSMOPlat of kaos, Compass has changed from a small and medium-sized enterprise that originally worked as an OEM for Australian RV dealers to an eco-operator of RV travel.


Kaos Industrial Internet

On the industry side, kaos COSMOPlat promotes the digital transformation of the whole industrial chain, realizing the transformation from a "walled garden" to an endless "tropical rainforest", and promoting the deep integration, quality improvement and efficiency improvement of the whole industry. Taking the ceramic industry as an example, COSMOPlat of kaos cooperated with Jingdezhen of Jiangxi to build a digital platform for ceramic industry to serve the development of the industry and enterprise transformation. At present, the platform has been put into operation, attracting tens of thousands of industrial service providers, more than 300 ceramic masters and more than 3,000 upstream and downstream enterprises in the national ceramic industry chain.


Electromagnetic compatibility detection of household appliances

On the urban side, COSMOPlat of kaos initiated the "1+N+X" model of industrial internet empowering urban digital economy, that is, to build a comprehensive service platform for city-level industrial internet enterprises, N industrial internet platforms in specific industries and fields and X industrial internet demonstration parks. Taking Qingdao as an example, by the end of 2022, the platform had empowered 4,500 enterprises and added an output value of 30 billion yuan.

As the first batch of enterprises in China to explore intelligent manufacturing, Haier has always taken the initiative to explore and innovate, driven the digital transformation and upgrading of enterprises with platform empowerment, released innovative kinetic energy for the industry with scientific and technological innovation, created a win-win situation with all ecological parties, and helped the high-quality development of the national digital economy. In 2022, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the first batch of national-level "digital navigation" demonstration lists, and Haier ranked first among 30 enterprises and became the benchmark of digital navigation.

Universality—

Quality management in China has changed from "bringing in" to "going out"

In the late 1970s, total quality management was introduced into China and gradually took root. In the early 1990s, China introduced the ISO9000 quality management series standard certification mechanism, which promoted the systematization and standardization of enterprise quality management and brought it into line with international standards.

Total quality management emphasizes that quality is produced rather than tested, and the final quality is guaranteed by quality management in production. Six Sigma is a management tool based on data to analyze the improvement of on-site ability, which can be interpreted as 3~4 mistakes in every one million opportunities. What they have in common is that they are based on the internal production process of the enterprise.

China is not only a big manufacturing country, but also a big consumption country. With the continuous growth of consumer demand, the integration of production and consumption has become a major feature of China manufacturing. On the basis of the introduction and implementation of total quality management and Six Sigma management, Haier explores a high-quality management system with the integration of production and consumption and "quality for all", and forms a quality management model with China characteristics. China’s quality management has also experienced the process from "bringing in" to "going out".

Haier’s quality management model has aroused the learning and reference of cross-industry, cross-field and cross-cultural enterprises, not only domestic leading automobile enterprises and dairy enterprises, but also representatives from countries along the Belt and Road such as Spain, Serbia and Israel. Quality Progress, an international authoritative journal, published "Consolidating Intelligent Interconnected Quality System and Improving User’s Product Experience" to deeply understand Haier’s quality strength and let the world see the new development of quality management in China.

Quality development is the way of rejuvenating the country and the strategy of strengthening the country. Through continuous innovation and practice, enterprises in China, represented by Haier, are pushing to make attaching importance to quality and creating quality a social trend, making the pursuit of Excellence and advocating first-class a value orientation, and finally realizing the transformation from China manufacturing to China creation, from China speed to China quality, and from China products to China brand, thus contributing to the world the excellent quality management mode from China.

From Dilemma to Revival, SAIC-GM’s Self-confident Rise and Future Layout

SAIC-GM has been very busy in recent months.

Within half a year, SAIC-GM launched a number of new cars, and the effect of the "one-price" policy was even more immediate, which seemed to instantly activate the vitality of this old joint venture car company. "In the last two or three months, we have done a lot of actions and met with you frequently." On the eve of the Guangzhou Auto Show in 2024, Haitao Xue, the deputy general manager of SAIC-GM, said this in a relaxed tone. Although this remark is somewhat joking, it is a true portrayal of a series of intensive new product launches and marketing offensives of SAIC-GM in recent months.

In November, in the face of increasingly fierce competition in the market environment, SAIC-GM achieved another great success. Data show that in November, SAIC-GM’s terminal sales volume was 66,797 vehicles (including exports), up 14.7% from the previous month, setting a new high in the year and maintaining growth for five consecutive months. At the same time, the performance of new energy vehicles was particularly bright. In November, the terminal sales reached 10,010 vehicles, up 5.9% from the previous month. From January to November, the cumulative terminal sales of SAIC-GM exceeded 600,000 vehicles, and the cumulative sales of new energy vehicles reached 97,056 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 77.4%.

This series of data not only reflects the signs of SAIC-GM’s gradual recovery in the predicament, but also marks its staged success in the rapid layout in the fields of new energy, intelligence and high-end. As one of the mainstream joint venture car companies in China, SAIC-GM has been accelerating its transformation in recent years, making full efforts in products, technology, marketing, services and other fields, showing strong market resilience.

New energy strategy: the key layout from oil-electric dual track to electrification transformation

The wave of new energy is irreversible, and the transformation process of SAIC-GM, especially in the field of new energy, is particularly critical.

As one of the strongest R&D centers in China, Pan Asia Technology Center is regarded as the "trump card" of SAIC-GM. From chassis adjustment to body design, Pan Asia always adheres to the highest standards in the world. In the field of new energy, Pan Asia also holds enough trump cards … From the development of Ultium platform to the promotion of intelligent solutions for new energy vehicles, this R&D center has gradually brought SAIC-GM into the electrified track.

In order to cope with the drastic changes in China’s automobile market, SAIC-GM set its sights on the development of "oil-electric dual track" from the very beginning. In November, Buick MPV SkyTeam performed well, with monthly sales reaching 10,211 vehicles, up 16% from the previous month. Among them, the GL8 family is still the main force in the market, and the new energy model GL8 PHEV is a leader. As a luxury gold standard hybrid MPV, GL8 PHEV’s sales volume and orders have maintained a double-digit growth. At present, the number of orders of GL8 PHEV is still increasing, and the market share of hybrid MPVs above 350,000 yuan exceeds 30%, and the market share of MPVs above 380,000 yuan is close to 70%.

At the same time, as a pure electric vehicle, its sales in November also reached 3,039 vehicles, up 55.7% year-on-year. With its spacious interior space, solid battery life and excellent safety, Buick E5 attracts a large number of consumers. Since its launch in September, E5 has been selling more than 3,000 vehicles a month for three consecutive months, making it another brilliant work of SAIC-GM in the field of new energy.

In the field of new energy, SAIC-GM continued to promote the expansion and optimization of product matrix. From January to November, the sales volume of new energy vehicles was close to 100,000, making it one of the fastest brands in the joint venture vehicle enterprises. Buick and Cadillac’s "electrification+intelligence" double upgrades have made SAIC-GM not only occupy a place in the fuel automobile market, but also gradually occupy a leading position in the field of new energy vehicles.

In the next two years, SAIC-GM plans to launch 12 new energy vehicles, covering a complete product matrix from compact cars to large SUVs. This not only shows the technical background, but also reserves enough "ammunition" for the competition in the new energy era, which has injected a strong impetus into brand reshaping.

Price offensive: innovation "limited price" won!

It is natural for Buick to continue to improve by accelerating the renewal of new models, distinctive product strength, and superimposing the "stable and ruthless" marketing strategy and escalating value system.

In the second half of 2024, the Buick brand’s "limited time and one price" strategy became an important driver of SAIC-GM’s successful recovery. What is a "bite price"? In short, the price of car models is unified throughout the country, regardless of regions and dealers, and consumers do not need to bargain with sales staff in the process of buying cars. This policy not only saves consumers time and energy, but also avoids the psychological gap after buying a car. At the same time, there is no need for price competition among dealers, but more energy is devoted to improving service quality.

This strategy directly promoted the growth of sales. Through this innovative strategy, SAIC-GM quickly attracted a large number of consumers’ attention and activated market demand. After the release of the limited-time "one-price", orders quickly exceeded 5,000 units during the National Day. In addition, the continued sales of Plus can not be separated from the promotion of one-price strategy. With this strategy, Buick Angkewei Plus has gained a firm foothold in the SUV market and become an important force that cannot be ignored in the current fuel auto market. According to the latest data, the sales volume of Angkewei family reached 18,300, of which the sales volume of Angkewei Plus reached 12,807, setting a new record for the monthly sales volume of 2.0T displacement vehicles.

In the field of cars, since the launch of Buick 2025 Platinum, the sales volume has continued to rise, with 4,603 vehicles sold in November, up 50.5% year-on-year. The performance of this series of products has laid a good foundation for SAIC-GM’s market recovery.

In addition, GL8 "Tiantuan" also performed well. The luxury gold standard MPV—— listed at the end of October-the new GL8 Luzun terminal is hot, with orders increasing by 108% month-on-month; For the first time, the GL8 land business class entered the price range of less than 200,000 yuan, further lowering the purchase threshold for MPV users. In addition, the 2025 CENTURY was launched less than a month ago, with sales volume increasing by 84.4% month-on-month, and orders rising by more than 240% month-on-month, continuing to write the "century" legend of the top luxury MPV market.

Under the strategic deployment of SAIC-GM, Cadillac brand will not be outdone. This year, Cadillac launched XT6, a luxury six-seat SUV with all road conditions. With the market pricing advantage and replacement subsidy policy, it quickly broke the barriers for consumers to buy luxury SUVs. In November, Cadillac’s brand-new XT5 also sold well, with 6,127 new orders. Since its listing, it has ordered more than 6,000 units and delivered 3,933 units for three consecutive months, and the market share of key cities has risen to the top three. Star rear-drive car CT5 sold 5,306 cars in November, up 9% from the previous month. Undoubtedly, both Buick and Cadillac have demonstrated the firm steps of SAIC-GM in the direction of high-end and electrification.

From channel to organization, the gold content of SAIC-GM system strength is still improving.

At present, the sales volume of SAIC-GM terminals has stabilized at more than 50,000 vehicles per month, and it has continued to grow for five months, obviously stabilizing and warming up.

In fact, the success of SAIC-GM is not only reflected in the breakthrough of products and sales, but also in the deep localization strategy and organizational optimization behind it. This year, SAIC-GM successfully "destocked" more than 150,000 vehicles, significantly improving the health of the channel. Combined with the new marketing strategy and management optimization, the company’s market performance gradually picked up. In particular, the comprehensive optimization and integration of production efficiency, organizational structure, core team and operating costs have laid a solid foundation for the company’s future sustainable development.

In terms of channels, SAIC-GM has strengthened its support for dealer networks through digital means. It not only provides a more transparent data sharing platform, but also helps dealers reduce operating costs through the optimization of financial policies. This "empowerment management" model has won more support for the brand in the market competition.

More importantly, thanks to the full support of the parent companies SAIC and GM, SAIC-GM has formulated a series of long-term development plans for the future, including product planning for the next decade. With the continuous introduction of more new technologies and new models, SAIC-GM is accumulating strength for further breakthroughs in the coming year.

In the face of the deep transformation of the market, SAIC-GM has demonstrated strong coping ability and market acumen. Whether it is continuous innovation in new energy and intelligence, or multi-dimensional adjustment in products, technology and marketing, it shows that it is fully prepared for healthy and sustainable development in the future. With the gradual recovery of sales in 2024, SAIC-GM is expected to continue to be at the forefront in the field of new energy and intelligence in 2025. The strong rebound in monthly sales once again verified its strong competitiveness against the trend in the predicament.

For SAIC-GM, the recovery of sales volume is not only a staged victory, but also a starting point for redefining brand value and winning back consumer trust. Under the circumstance of accelerating the reshuffle of China automobile market, SAIC-GM is moving towards the peak again at a steady pace.

At present, China auto market is undergoing a deep transformation, and opportunities and challenges coexist. As the leader of joint venture car companies in the era of smart electricity, SAIC-GM has continuously adjusted its strategy and demonstrated its strong resistance to pressure with innovative breakthroughs. A series of reform measures have demonstrated the confidence and determination of SAIC-GM, as if to declare to the market that the past trough is only temporary. In the future, it will continue to meet the challenges with an open attitude, and with its strong brand influence, technical strength and market insight, it will set off new waves in China and even the global automobile market.

We are confident that we can see the day when SAIC-GM "the king returns".

Crossing the gap from 1 to 10 empowers thousands of industries.

CCTV News:Let’s look at the series of reports of "High-quality Development Research Bank". If basic research is a breakthrough from 0 to 1, then the industrialization of scientific research results is a leap from 1 to 10. In the process of high-quality development, it is very important to realize this leap. Facing the gap between scientific research and industry, Shanghai, which has strong scientific research strength, is looking for a way to solve it. Recently, Pudong New Area has released a list of the supply and demand sides of scientific research transformation. What’s the effect? Let’s watch the reporter’s investigation together.

When the reporter came to Shanghai Pudong New Area Science and Technology Commission, the staff were busy sorting out the latest docking situation. A few months ago, they launched a public service platform to collect technology and innovation needs for the whole society. Unexpectedly, more than 120 items were collected soon.

Enterprises need core technology, but they can’t find innovative resources. Scientific research institutions have innovative achievements, but they don’t know how to transform them. Even Shanghai, the "capital of innovation", is facing this practical problem. The heads of some scientific research institutions frankly told reporters that the crux of the problem lies in the imbalance between supply and demand of innovative resources.

How to get through the blocking point and cross the gap from academic to industrial? Shanghai established the Achievement Transformation Center of China Academy of Engineering, opened large scientific facilities to large enterprises, and built embedded innovation spaces in science and technology zones such as Lingang and Zhangjiang, which awakened a large number of sleeping scientific research resources.

In order to help enterprises accurately find the source of innovation, at the beginning of this year, Pudong New Area publicly collected the demand for scientific and technological innovation for enterprises in the fields of information technology, biomedicine and artificial intelligence for the first time, formed a "list" of scientific research projects, published it on public platforms, and docked the corresponding enterprises or research institutes by "revealing the list".

A platform to build a bridge of "two-way going"

In just a few months, seven major scientific research projects have been achieved, and the role played by this "list" cannot be underestimated. So, what is the current progress of the first batch of projects? What is the story behind their "two-way trip"? Continue to look at the reporter’s investigation.

This docking is undertaken by the Yangtze River Delta National Technology Innovation Center. When the reporter came to the China Innovation Center, he was catching up with the first batch of projects in-depth docking, and talked about topics such as joint research and talent training. The two sides talked endlessly.

Yang Weizhong is the head of a chemical fiber manufacturing enterprise. Because a key technology has not been solved, his industrial renewal has been stagnant. This time, he issued a scientific research demand with a try attitude. I didn’t expect to get a response from a professional research institute in Jiangsu three days later, and the scientific research results that the other party had painstakingly studied for more than a year also had a place to use.

Guochuang Center is a national scientific research and innovation platform with rich innovation resources. Here, the reporter saw many industrialization achievements. However, the relevant person in charge told reporters with regret that many scientific research results are still idle on the bookshelf.

The transformation from technology to industry requires deep cooperation and repeated polishing between scientific research institutes and enterprises. This process is long and trivial. Without a good cooperation mechanism, it often fails on the way. As an important platform for Industry-University-Research’s integration in the Yangtze River Delta region, the Innovation Center is building a variety of new R&D carriers to help scientific research institutions, enterprises and even the government adopt various modes of cooperation.

Cross-border integration to create a "tropical rainforest" innovative ecology

From the reporter’s investigation, we can easily see that once the supply and demand of scientific research and industry are blocked, it will stimulate new impetus and even produce new industries and tracks. It is precisely because of this that Shanghai Pudong is accelerating cross-border integration, creating a "tropical rain forest"-style innovative ecology and accelerating the layout of future industries such as artificial intelligence.

In Shanghai Institute of Advanced Studies, Zhejiang University, a research on new drugs is under way. Different from the traditional cytological research, researchers use artificial intelligence technology to analyze the protein structure of bacteria. Team members come from computer, physics, biology and other disciplines. Interdisciplinary research like this has been widely carried out in many fields.

Relying on the interdisciplinary research platform based on computing, Shanghai Pudong is laying out the artificial intelligence industry, and through the opening of innovation centers by large enterprises, it will form a collaborative innovation ecology in which large, medium and small enterprises are United and Industry-University-Research is integrated, so as to accelerate the transformation of scientific research into technology and empower thousands of industries.

Not long ago, Pudong also opened the intelligent networked automobile test demonstration zone to the society.

CCTV reporter:The road around me is the first open test road for self-driving cars in the central city of a megacity in China. At the scene, we saw that intelligent networked cars were tested on the road from time to time. This road is equipped with complex road conditions and multiple traffic lights, which can meet the application of multiple scenarios including intelligent driving and intelligent parking.

In the subsequent experience, the reporter learned that this section of road can not only meet the technical test requirements, but also be standardized in terms of road rights and driving rules, and constantly meet the needs of industrial innovation and application.

In addition to "future cars", Pudong also takes six hard-core industries such as "innovative drugs", "China Core", "intelligent manufacturing", "blue sky dream" and "data port" as the main direction in the future, and accelerates the promotion of all these key industries to the scale of "100 billion".

Villi, Director of Science, Technology and Economic Committee of Pudong New Area:Give full play to the strategic role of scientific and technological innovation, build a innovation chain from basic research, technical research to the transformation and application of achievements, lay out new tracks around five areas, such as future information, future health, future intelligence, future energy and future space, cultivate future industrial clusters and promote high-quality economic development.

Try first, break the ice. Strong scientific research strength has given Shanghai Pudong a foundation from 0 to 1. Nowadays, as a leading area of socialist modernization, it is accelerating the deep integration of innovation chain and industrial chain, and striving to cross the gap from 1 to 10. We have reason to believe that with the continuous improvement of innovation ecology, Pudong will achieve a continuous breakthrough from 10 to 100 in the future.

Are pregnant women more likely to be infected with COVID-19? Can you give birth naturally after infection? What should be paid attention to in the prenatal examination at the peak of infection? 【 tips

  Are pregnant women more susceptible to COVID-19?

  Can you give birth naturally after being infected with COVID-19?

  At the peak of infection

  What are the precautions for pregnant women’s prenatal examination?

  Zhao Yangyu, director of obstetrics and gynecology, Peking University Third HospitalTo answer

  Are pregnant women more likely to be infected with COVID-19?

  Pregnant women are as susceptible as the general population. If pregnant women have no basic diseases, their clinical manifestations are similar to those of the general population.

  For pregnant women with other diseases, such as asthma and hypertension, we should pay attention to the clinical symptoms, strengthen daily self-monitoring, seek medical advice in time if they are not suitable, and be alert to the occurrence of severe diseases caused by the superposition of pregnancy complications and COVID-19 infection symptoms.

  Special reminder, pregnant women in the third trimester, if there is abnormal fetal movement, bleeding, stomachache. Fatigue, weakness, etc., even if you don’t have a fever, you should go to the hospital. It may not be COVID-19 infection, but some of them are complications in the third trimester.

  Can you give birth naturally after infection?

  Can I choose labor analgesia?

  After COVID-19’s infection, if it is mild, under strict protection, pregnant women can choose to give birth naturally. If it is severe or critical, it needs to be discussed by multidisciplinary teams. If pregnant women can’t tolerate it, they should choose cesarean section.

  In the process of natural delivery, it is not taboo for the parturient infected with COVID-19 to have labor analgesia. Labor analgesia can also relieve hyperventilation caused by pain and anxiety, reduce maternal oxygen consumption and burden of cardiopulmonary function, and the natural delivery process may be smoother.

  At the peak of infection

  What should pregnant women pay attention to in prenatal examination?

  At the peak of infection, pregnant women are advised to know about the changes of outpatient time in midwifery institutions. Many midwifery institutions have online medical treatment, and online consultation can reduce the number of visits to hospitals.

  Some inspection items have critical time points, which should not be postponed (such as ectopic pregnancy screening, NT, prenatal screening or prenatal diagnosis, fetal ultrasound screening in the second trimester, etc.). We should communicate with the prenatal hospital and the attending doctor to determine the prenatal inspection plan.

  Pregnant women should be well protected during prenatal examination, and the suggestions are as follows:

  One isThrough online appointment registration and appointment inspection, etc., know the relevant inspection contents in advance to minimize the stay time in the hospital;

  The second isWear N95 mask when visiting a medical institution;

  The third isTry not to take crowded public transport;

  The fourth isKeep a distance of more than 2 meters from others as much as possible;

  The fifth isAfter touching suspicious exposure, it is recommended to wash your hands with hand sanitizer or soap through running water according to the standard washing method, or use antibacterial hand gel containing 75% alcohol.
