Biden has another big move!

On Thursday (August 15th) local time, Biden’s government announced that it had reached a "historic" agreement with pharmaceutical companies. According to the data released by the White House, the price reduction of the first 10 drugs included in the negotiations ranged from 38% to 79%. On the same day, US President Biden and Vice President Harris held their first joint activity since Biden withdrew from the 2024 election. Biden said at the event: "We finally beat the big pharmaceutical companies."

At the same time, another news related to Biden also attracted attention. According to a number of US media reports, a few days ago, hundreds of lawyers from all over the world jointly sent a letter to US President Biden, calling on the United States to stop using unilateral economic sanctions, saying that this tool is equivalent to collective punishment of civilians and violates international law.

In the joint letter, lawyers, legal organizations and scholars condemned the United States’ increasing reliance on sanctions to punish and intimidate its opponents, and said that these measures may lead to economic instability, hunger and the reduction of basic commodities such as medicines. The letter pointed out: "At present, hundreds of millions of people live under the extensive economic sanctions imposed by the United States in some form."

Biden’s government announced heavily

On Thursday (August 15th) local time, Biden’s government announced that it had reached a "historic" agreement with pharmaceutical companies, and the negotiated new drug price could save Medicare a net of about $6 billion by 2026. In addition, the new drug price will save the insured $1.5 billion in out-of-pocket expenses.

According to the data released by the White House, the price reduction of the first 10 drugs included in the negotiations ranged from 38% to 79%. Among them, the biggest drop was Merck’s hypoglycemic drug Januvia, whose price dropped from $527 to $113 in 30 days, while Novo Nordisk’s insulin injection pen Novo Horizo, whose monthly medication cost also dropped from $495 to $119.

According to media reports, this is part of a plan that Biden praised on Thursday, aimed at easing anger over high prices before the November election. The Inflation Reduction Act signed by Biden was signed into law in 2022, which was the first bill to allow medical insurance to negotiate the price of some of the most expensive drugs covering 66 million people in the plan.

On Thursday, US President Biden and Vice President Harris held their first joint activity since Biden withdrew from the 2024 election, and supported her to replace him on the Democratic ballot.

"We know that this is not only about health care, but also about your dignity," Biden said of the policy. "This is about inner peace. This is related to security. This is about taking care of your family. This is to give people more breathing space. " Biden said that they "just started" and that he and Harris "will continue to fight against big pharmaceutical companies". He said: "I played too hard. I can’t give in now. We won’t back down. “

Reuters said that although this was an official event, Biden turned his speech in the gymnasium into a de facto campaign rally, calling Harris a "hellish president" and criticizing Republicans for not supporting the right of medical insurance to negotiate drug pricing.

The Republican House leadership, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, described this power as "price manipulation" in a statement. Their prescription drug price manipulation plan only accomplished two things: pushing up the cost of health care and smashing American medical innovation.

Hundreds of lawyers signed a letter to Biden.

A few days ago, Bloomberg, CommonDreams and other media reported that dozens of legal organizations from all over the world, as well as more than 200 lawyers and scholars jointly sent a letter to US President Biden, urging the US government to end unilateral economic sanctions, saying that such sanctions constitute a collective punishment for civilians and are illegal under international law.

The signatories of this letter include human rights lawyers, American National Bar Association, European Lawyers Association for Democracy and World Human Rights, and law professors. The signer said in the letter: "Collective punishment is the standard practice of American foreign policy today, which takes the form of extensive unilateral economic and financial sanctions." So far, the United States has imposed more unilateral economic sanctions than any other country in the world. They pointed out that although the use of sanctions is different from conventional warfare, its collective impact on civilians may be equally indiscriminate, punitive and fatal.

The letter pointed out: "At present, hundreds of millions of people live under the extensive economic sanctions imposed by the United States in some form, including ordinary people in countries such as Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria and Venezuela. These measures may cause serious and extensive harm to civilians. Extensive economic sanctions may trigger and prolong the economic crisis, hinder access to basic commodities such as food, fuel and medicine, and increase poverty, hunger, disease and even mortality, especially for children. This situation in turn tends to promote large-scale immigration. "

According to the letter, the United States has imposed a severe economic embargo on Cuba for more than 60 years, which has adversely affected all economic sectors of the country and seriously restricted Cubans’ access to basic necessities such as food, fuel and medicine. In the past 32 years, United Nations Member States have overwhelmingly opposed the United States embargo against Cuba. Last year’s vote was 187-2, and only the United States and Israel were against it.

It is understood that after the victory of the Cuban revolution in 1959, the US government announced the breaking of diplomatic relations with Cuba in 1961 and began to impose a comprehensive embargo on Cuba in 1962. Since 1992, the United Nations General Assembly has passed resolutions with overwhelming votes for dozens of consecutive times, demanding that the United States end its economic and financial blockade and trade embargo against Cuba. Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla, Cuba’s foreign minister, once criticized the decades-long American trade embargo against Cuba as "endless" like a hurricane, which brought huge economic losses and humanitarian disasters to Cuba. The Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs also said that the United States has exerted extreme pressure on Cuba in recent years and strengthened its economic and financial blockade and trade embargo against Cuba, which is the root cause of the recent sharp increase in illegal immigration of Cubans to the United States; If the United States wants to stop the tide of illegal immigration, it must cancel the economic blockade that "makes life difficult for Cubans".

The signer said that according to the resolutions of the UN General Assembly and the UN Human Rights Council, unilateral sanctions are suspected of violating the UN Charter. They also cited the Fourth Geneva Convention, which held that collective punishment constituted a war crime. The signatory added: "As a member of the legal profession, we call on the United States to abide by the existing international law and stop using extensive unilateral coercive measures. Seventy-five years after the signing of the Geneva Conventions, collective punishment must end. "

American sanctions and the Middle East crisis

It is worth noting that the current Middle East crisis is also related to the US sanctions against Iran.

On November 7, last year, the White House issued a statement extending the national emergency against Iran in an executive order signed by the United States on November 14, 1979 for one year until November 14, 2024. This also means that the economic sanctions imposed by the United States on Iran continue to be extended.

On June 27th this year, the State Council issued a statement announcing sanctions against entities and ships involved in Iranian oil and petrochemical trade. Not only that, but the United States and the West are also looking for excuses to increase sanctions against Iran.

After the overall escalation of the Ukrainian crisis, the United States and Europe accused Iran of providing drones and missiles to Russia; The EU believes that there is Iranian support behind the Yemeni Houthi armed forces in the Red Sea region. According to this, the Council of the European Union announced in May this year to expand the scope of sanctions against Iran, involving drones and missiles.

According to public information, Iran is the second largest natural gas reserve country and the third largest oil reserve country in the world. However, after decades of sanctions, Iran’s economy and society have been completely hit. According to data released by the World Bank, nearly 10 million Iranians fell into poverty in the first decade of the 21st century. The loss of oil revenue has led to the continuous growth of Iranian government debt and state-owned enterprise debt. In addition, the United States and the West imposed a technical blockade on Iran through sanctions. United Nations human rights experts have issued a statement saying that US sanctions forced the Iranian people to extend the use of old vehicles with low fuel efficiency, while the United States also prevented other countries from providing air pollution control technology to Iran, which endangered the health of the Iranian people.

Recently, the situation in the Middle East has become tense again. On August 12th, local time, senior US officials said that Iran would launch a "major" attack on Israel "or within this week". On the same day, Iranian President Massoud Pezehiqiyan said in a telephone conversation with German Chancellor Angela Scholz that Iran believes that it has the right to respond to "aggressors" according to international rules. Petrezhiqiyan said that the Israeli government’s continued "genocide" in Gaza and "terrorist acts" in other countries violated international law and posed a serious challenge to regional security and global peace in West Asia.

Flexible and changeable test drive in space Jianghuai Ruifeng M3 1.6 Manual

　　The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out, "Accelerate the upgrading and transformation of traditional industries in a high-end, intelligent and green way, cultivate and expand strategic emerging industries, actively develop the digital economy and modern service industry, and accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system with intelligent, green and integrated characteristics and meeting the requirements of integrity, advancement and safety". The first meeting of the 20th Central Committee of Finance and Economics held not long ago put forward that "the modern industrial system is the material and technical foundation of a modern country, and the focus of economic development must be on the real economy, so as to provide strong material support for achieving the goal of the second century". Accelerating the construction of a modern industrial system with integrity, advancement and security supported by the real economy is a major strategic task to promote Chinese modernization and a key measure for China to take the initiative to cope with the unprecedented changes in the world and win the initiative in competition.

　　From the perspective of industrial classification, the general real economy should include manufacturing, agriculture, construction, mining and other industries, of which the most core and main part is manufacturing. The main problem of the trend of "detachment from reality to virtuality" is that a large number of factors cannot effectively flow to the real economy sectors such as manufacturing, especially the repeated circulation of funds within the financial industry has significantly increased the financing cost of the real economy, thus hindering the benign development of the real economy. Building a modern industrial system supported by the real economy means forming a "science and technology — Industry — The virtuous circle of "finance" has made the contribution of scientific and technological innovation in the development of the real economy continuously improved, and the ability of modern finance to effectively serve the development of the real economy has been continuously strengthened, forming a modern industrial system in which innovation drives the development of the real economy and finance better serves the real economy, and improving the integrity, advancement and security of the modern industrial system in a targeted manner.

　　Consolidate the advantages of a complete manufacturing system

　　At present, China is the largest manufacturing country with the most complete industrial system, with 41 industrial categories, 207 industrial categories and 666 industrial subcategories. It is the only country in the world with all industrial categories in the United Nations industrial classification. The scale of China’s manufacturing industry has ranked first in the world for 13 consecutive years, accounting for nearly 30% of the global total. The complete manufacturing system and strong supporting capacity are the great advantages of China’s industrial system, which ensures that China can effectively cope with the supply shocks brought about by changes in the external environment and demonstrates China’s economic resilience. The formation of the completeness advantage of China’s industrial system is the result of successfully promoting industrialization. After the founding of New China, our Party United and led the people to carry out the socialist revolution, established the basic socialist system, and established an independent and relatively complete industrial system and national economic system. After more than 40 years of rapid development of reform and opening up, China’s industrialization level has been greatly improved, and an industrial system with complete system and huge production capacity has been built, making it the world’s largest manufacturing country and the world’s second largest economy, and successfully exploring an industrialization road in line with China’s national conditions.

　　We should also see that the world has undergone a profound change in the past century, the global industrial chain supply chain is facing restructuring, and the integrity advantage of China’s manufacturing system has been impacted. On the one hand, some enterprises have begun to move to Southeast Asia, and there is a risk that the industrial chain will move out and the supporting capacity of manufacturing industry will be damaged; On the other hand, traditional industries are facing great pressure of transformation and upgrading, and some places simply regard traditional industries as "low-end industries" through the "one size fits all" policy. To consolidate the completeness advantage of China’s manufacturing industry, firstly, we should follow the domestic version of "yan zhen Model", support and guide the central, western and northeastern regions to undertake the gradient transfer of domestic industries on the basis of fully considering the carrying capacity of resources and environment; Second, actively promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries through technological transformation, and cannot simply equate traditional industries with low-end industries and ask them to withdraw; Third, we can learn from Japan’s "mother factory" experience, encourage enterprises to build modern core factories in China and leave their core manufacturing capabilities at home; Fourth, we should pay attention to the construction of industrial clusters, strengthen the technical and economic ties among various enterprises through clusters, improve the cooperation and supporting capacity of manufacturing industry, and consolidate the advantages of the completeness of manufacturing system.

　　Promote the intelligent, green and integrated development of manufacturing industry

　　Modernization is based on the rise, spread and application of modern science and technology, and the modern industrial system should be based on advanced modern science and technology. At present, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is accelerating. From the perspective of technological innovation, a new generation of emerging technologies, such as information technology, new energy, new materials, bioengineering, and green low-carbon technologies, are reshaping the global technological landscape, industrial structure, and competition pattern, and the digital economy and the real economy are accelerating deep integration. From the development direction of industrial organization, manufacturing and service industries are also deeply integrated, and the development of industrial integration represents an important trend of building a modern industrial system. Generally speaking, the construction of advanced modern industrial system should reflect the development direction of intelligent, green and integrated manufacturing industry.

　　Manufacturing industry is the industry with the most active technological innovation activities, the richest technological innovation achievements, the most concentrated application of technological innovation and the strongest spillover effect of technological innovation. The advanced nature of manufacturing industry is the main embodiment of the advanced nature of modern industrial system. At present, China has made remarkable achievements in building a manufacturing power. For example, in 2022, 65 manufacturing enterprises in China were shortlisted in the list of the world’s top 500 enterprises, with more than 70,000 small and medium-sized enterprises specializing in special innovation. The high-tech manufacturing industry accounted for 15.5% of the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size, and the equipment manufacturing industry accounted for 31.8% of the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size. 45 national advanced manufacturing clusters have been cultivated, and the output of new energy vehicles and photovoltaics has remained the first in the world for many years. However, we should also see that there are still big but not strong problems in the development of China’s manufacturing industry. The overall technical level needs to be improved, and the basic ability of manufacturing industry is not strong. There are still shortcomings in core basic parts (components), advanced basic processes, basic materials, basic technologies and key basic software. Some core technologies are still subject to people, and the industrial chain is generally at the low end of the global value chain. Therefore, to build an advanced modern industrial system, we must speed up the construction of manufacturing power, quality power, aerospace power, transportation power, network power and digital China, promote the development of China’s manufacturing industry along the direction of intelligence, greening and integration, and realize the transformation from large to strong. To further build an advanced modern industrial system in the future, it is necessary to strengthen relevant measures and comprehensively promote the construction of a manufacturing power.It is necessary to thoroughly implement the industrial base reconstruction project and major technical equipment research projects, improve the national quality infrastructure, speed up the construction of a modern infrastructure system, actively promote the development of strategic emerging industries, focus on building internationally competitive digital industrial clusters, implement green manufacturing promotion projects, promote clean and low-carbon transformation in various fields of industry and transportation, promote the deep integration of modern service industries with advanced manufacturing industries and modern agriculture, realize the deep integration of digital economy and real economy, accelerate the construction of world-class enterprises and specialized and new enterprises, and further optimize the development environment of industrial chain supply chain.

　　In the new stage of development, industrial policy should be both developed and safe.

　　For a long time, the basic orientation of industrial policies in various countries is to promote the development of their own industries. However, today’s world has entered a new period of turbulence and change, with the rise of anti-globalization, unilateralism and protectionism, weak world economic recovery, intensified global problems, and increasingly prominent industrial security issues. Some countries have made clear the basic position of industrial security in the economic policy system.

　　On the new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, it is necessary to speed up the construction of a new development pattern and enhance the security initiative of development. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader clearly pointed out that it is necessary to effectively improve the resilience and safety level of the industrial chain supply chain and build a modern industrial system that is self-controllable, safe, reliable and competitive. Industrial policy should be developed and safe at the same time. It is necessary to maintain a moderate growth rate by improving the total factor productivity, improve the quality of industrial development, and focus on ensuring industrial safety. Therefore, the functional orientation of industrial management system and policy system should be expanded and adjusted to guarantee and improve the safety of industrial chain while encouraging and serving the development of industry, so as to effectively deal with the safety risks that may be caused by the superposition of multiple factors such as insufficient technology supply capacity, excessive outward transfer of labor-intensive industries, and the impact of industrial basic raw materials and energy supply. To build a safe modern industrial system, we should take the maintenance of industrial safety as the top priority, speed up the improvement of China’s industrial safety-related laws and regulations, and make it clear that industrial safety management is the pre-basic work of China’s various industrial policies, science and technology policies, competition policies and trade policies; It is necessary to speed up the establishment of an industrial safety management system with clear rights and responsibilities and close cooperation among multiple departments, improve the strategic decision-making and departmental coordination mechanism of industrial safety, and promote development and safety coordination through departmental coordination; Improve the industrial development assessment and industrial safety early warning system, build professional industrial chain safety assessment teams and institutions, and develop China’s industrial safety assessment theory and method system. of course，Emphasizing the safety of modern industrial system does not mean to build a car behind closed doors, but to actively explore ways to effectively improve the national industrial safety level and improve the resilience of industrial chain supply chain under the open economic system.

　　What needs to be clear is that the integrity, progressiveness and safety of modern industrial system are closely related. Integrity and progressiveness can promote and enhance the safety of industrial system, and safety is the premise and guarantee of building an integrated and advanced industrial system. To build a modern industrial system supported by the real economy, it is necessary to unify the three, promote them together, continuously improve the integrity of the industrial system, focus on building a number of new growth engines, enhance the resilience and safety level of the industrial chain supply chain, and consolidate the material foundation of modernization.

The high-performance heterogeneous computing architecture of "XL-1" provides surging computing power, taking the cockpit experience of Lynk & Co 08 to the next level. The model adopts dual "XL-1" solutions, and the powerful CPU and GPU computing power can smoothly support its industry-first 92-inch giant canopy HUD, with a resolution of 2K, real-life navigation covers three lanes, and supports mobile Inter-App communications to watch movies and play games, further providing an immersive cockpit experience.

In addition, the 16 TOPS computing power of the dual "XL-1" supports the auxiliary driving functions of L0-L2, including APA assisted parking, RPA remote parking and other full-scene parking, and is equipped with multi-channel cameras, which significantly improves the safety and convenience of driving. It is also worth mentioning that the "XL-1" chip is also equipped with the "black technology" of eye tracking function. AR-HUD can adjust the best viewing angle in real time according to the height of the driver’s eye, which is more conducive to eye focus during driving.

By cooperating with Meizu Flyme Auto system, "No. 1" can give full play to its high performance, low power consumption and high integration characteristics, empower Lynk & Co’s smart and sensory digital cockpit experience, and truly elevate the human-machine interaction experience of cars and machines to the level of mobile phones, opening a new era of advanced intelligence.

Dr. Wang Kai, Director and CEO of XQ Technology, said, "It is of great significance to us that the’No. 1 ‘has been selected and carried by the new Lynk & Co 08.’ No. 1 ‘sets the standard for the most advanced products in the international market in the fields of design, process and performance, and can help customers continue to exceed in the field of intelligence, so as to achieve full-scene intelligent connectivity and smart travel. XQ Technology is committed to providing better choices for OEMs in terms of performance, overall cost, and information security. The combination of’No. 1’ and Lynk & Co 08 will set a new benchmark in the industry. We will continue to use our own R & D strength and expertise to promote domestic chips to higher standards and empower the development of intelligent vehicles in China."

As the global automotive industry sprints towards intelligence, smart driving and cabin and parking integration, as two popular trends in the automotive field, have ushered in a boom in rapid development. "No. 1" can perfectly support the cabin and parking integrated solution, thus enabling OEMs to significantly reduce costs and upgrade technology to the direction of cabin and parking integration.

The localization of chips is of strategic significance in the development of smart cars, and the independent core technology mastered by Xinqing Technology helps to ensure the security of the automotive supply chain. "No. 1" has built-in independent functional safety islands and information safety islands, and different processor clusters independently serve different functional domains, which can meet the high security and reliability requirements of the Chinese market for vehicle-grade chips, and escort the information security of automobiles.

The "No. 1" is equipped with the new model Lynk & Co 08, which will cooperate with the Lynk & Co brand to achieve intelligent and electric transformation, build core competitiveness, and create higher value and ultimate experience for users. In the future, Xinqing Technology will also continue to focus on forward-looking layout, accelerate product iterative upgrades, better meet the needs of China’s smart car market, and realize the beautiful vision of "allowing everyone to enjoy driving".
