Just now! Biden, big announcement

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.

Expert sitting

Q: The engine compartment of the Mondeo Win is dirty. Can it be cleaned with a high-pressure water gun?

A: It is absolutely not advisable to use a high-pressure water gun to flush the engine compartment. Today’s cars are equipped with an electronically controlled fuel injection system, and the engine compartment is equipped with an engine computer, a gearbox computer, an ignition computer, and various sensors and actuators. These electronic components are all controlled by voltage. After coming into contact with water, there may be a short circuit, which is likely to damage the engine computer. Generally speaking, the price of an engine computer is several thousand yuan, and the price of a sensor is also around 1,000 yuan. These accessories can be said to be very expensive. For the dust in the engine compartment, it is recommended that you go to a repair shop or tire shop to clean it with a high-pressure air gun, or use a wet towel without water to clean it up.

    

  Q: Why does Dongfeng Peugeot 307 antifreeze leak into the cab?

A: According to the phenomenon you described, there should be leakage in the warm air small water tank or water pipe joint. Peugeot 307 warm air small water tank is located in the cab. The specific position of the small water tank is close to the side of the driver’s right leg. The leakage part is generally the water pipe joint. Poor sealing of the water pipe joint will lead to antifreeze leakage. The possibility of leakage of the small water tank is very small. In this case, it is recommended that the vehicle go to the 4S shop for maintenance immediately. It can be solved by replacing it with new accessories.

    

Q: Is there no need to replace the environmental protection logo after the annual vehicle inspection?

A: The current environmental protection logo does not need to be replaced. The environmental protection logo received by the owner is accompanied by an electronic chip, which stores the relevant information of the vehicle. When the vehicle is inspected again, the information stored in the electronic chip will be used as the basis for testing. After the inspection, there is no need to replace the environmental protection logo card. Just refresh the chip and get a simple piece of paper.

    

Q: Is the Honda Fit automatic in D or N gear when waiting for the red light?

A: When driving a vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission while waiting for a signal light or stuck in traffic, some drivers often keep the shift lever in gear D and press the brake pedal at the same time. If the time is very short, this is allowed. But if you stop for a long time, it is best to change into gear N or P and tighten the parking brake. Because when the shift lever is in gear D, the automatic transmission car will move forward slightly. If you step on the brake pedal for a long time, it is equivalent to forcibly stopping this advance, which will increase the transmission oil temperature and make the oil easy to deteriorate.

    

  Q: Every time Yida starts, there will be abnormal noises when changing second gear. What’s going on?

A: Expert: When the vehicle is started at a speed of about 20 kilometers per hour, the ABS pump will make a self-test sound, and this phenomenon also exists in other brands of models. This sound will only appear after the engine is restarted, which is a normal phenomenon and does not require a 4S shop for maintenance.

    

Q: What should I do if the Audi A8L chassis cannot be lifted normally?

A: First check whether the air pump of the chassis lifting system is running normally, then check whether the relevant pipelines connected to the air pump are leaking, and whether the control unit of the lifting system is faulty. Start the engine to operate the chassis lifting and lowering should be able to hear the sound of the air pump working below. In addition, the failure of the chassis lifting height sensor will also cause it to not work properly.

    

  Q: In the 2005 Nissan Teana 350, why do you always hear similar noise while driving?

A: The Nissan Teana 350 is equipped with a CVT continuously variable transmission. This abnormal sound is commonly referred to as "barking". The reason is the matching of the high compression ratio of this model and the best speed ratio of the CVT continuously variable transmission. At present, there are two main reasons for this failure:

1) Fuel combustion quality. According to the requirements of environmental protection design standards and the compression ratio of models, models with Euro III or Euro IV emission standards should use Euro III or Euro IV fuel. If the gasoline octane number does not meet the standard, it will cause excessive emissions, which will be detected by the control system, causing the engine failure light to light up, or premature ignition knock due to high compression ratio.

2) Internal colloids and carbon deposits. During the storage and transportation of fuel, oxidation reactions are prone to occur, resulting in colloidal substances. These colloidal substances are divided into soluble colloids and insoluble colloids according to the solubility of gasoline. Insoluble colloids are also called deposits. After they are added to the car fuel tank together with fuel, they will adhere to the fuel filter, clog the filter medium, reduce the amount of fuel supply, insufficient oil transportation, and poor fuel atomization, resulting in thinning of the combustible mixture, and a decrease in engine power and economy.

After the soluble colloid enters the combustion chamber and burns together with the gasoline, many hard carbon deposits will be formed in the intake valve, the top of the piston, the piston ring groove, the combustion chamber, the spark plug and other parts, resulting in lax valve closure and engine performance degradation, such as unsmooth acceleration, unstable idle speed, stall, jitter, knock and a series of failures. Also affected by maintenance and the environment, during crankcase ventilation work, many impurities enter the intake pipe and burn, which also produces partial carbon deposits, which will lead to knock (called rod) phenomenon.

Maintenance plan:

1) Conduct internal cleaning according to vehicle conditions to remove carbon deposits formed inside the engine, and regularly clean or replace the air filter.

2) It is recommended to add No. 97 unleaded gasoline to the vehicle and slowly add the accelerator during use.

    

  Q: The old Bora has high fuel consumption recently. After inspection, it was learned that the spark plug gap is too large. Can you adjust the spark plug gap and continue to use it?

A: The working condition of the spark plug has a lot to do with fuel consumption. The function of the spark plug is to generate an electric spark when the high voltage electricity skips the gap between the electrodes and ignites the mixture in the cylinder. At present, the gap of the spark plug of the EFI engine is mostly between 1.0~ 1.2mm (specific to the gap of each model, you need to refer to the maintenance manual). If the gap of the spark plug is too large, it will cause the jump voltage to be higher, so that the ignition coil will heat up beyond the load, or even burn out, and there will be a phenomenon of fire failure at high speed; if the gap is too small, the spark time will be shortened, resulting in a reduction in the ignition energy and it is not easy to ignite the mixture. Therefore, be sure to ensure a normal spark plug gap.

Volkswagen Bora model spark plugs are replaced every 30,000 kilometers, and must be replaced after driving to the specified mileage, and cannot be adjusted for continued use.

    

    Q: The fuel consumption information of the new Jingcheng driving computer shows 8.8 liters, but the actual fuel consumption is about 11 liters. Why is that?

A: Today’s cars are equipped with a large number of electronic information devices, which is indeed helpful to drivers. For example, outside the car temperature information, instantaneous fuel consumption, fuel consumption of 100 kilometers, oil level information, etc., but these information manufacturers call reference information. The 8.8 liters of fuel consumption you see is not the most accurate fuel consumption, and can only be used as a reference. For the new automatic transmission range, it is normal for the 1.8L displacement engine to consume between 10 and 11 liters under comprehensive road conditions. It is difficult to control the fuel consumption within 10 liters when driving in urban areas.

    

  Q: The Maiteng engine failure light is on, and No. 93 unleaded gasoline has been added to Sinopec Group. What should I do now?

A: Expert of Wanche Network: The lighting of the Maiteng engine fault light indicates that the exhaust emissions exceed the standard, or the engine working condition is abnormal. The lighting of the fault light has a lot to do with the oil. Adding low-grade gasoline or inferior oil will cause the engine failure light to light up. Maiteng 1.8T engine needs to add No. 97 unleaded gasoline. You can try to replace the high-grade oil first. If the fault light will still light up after replacing No. 97 gasoline, focus on checking whether the oxygen sensor signal is normal. Poor or damaged oxygen sensor will cause the fault light to light up. Then there is carbon deposition inside the engine. Too much carbon deposition will also cause the fault light to light up.

    

Q: The new Elysee engine fault light is on, and the accelerator pedal loses its function, and there is obvious shaking in the idling speed. The failure will still occur after cleaning the throttle body. What’s going on?

A: The Elysee engine fault light is on, and the accelerator pedal loses its function. It may be caused by poor contact of the electronic throttle body connector, which has nothing to do with the carbon deposition of the electronic throttle body. This fault phenomenon requires the replacement of the electronic throttle connector. There are many phenomena in which the faulty light is lit due to poor contact of the throttle body connector of the Elysee car. Secondly, check the accelerator pedal position sensor. Damage or abnormality of the pedal position sensor can also lead to such faults. The loss of the accelerator pedal will affect driving safety. Such faults need to be repaired in time.

Drop 120,000! Cadillac XT5 new listing "no ink", only sold 279,900

Source: Spy Finance (ID: Spy Finance)

Just now, Cadillac officially released the news of "new XT5 pre-sale", but I didn’t expect the price to be a "Wang fried"!

The SAIC-GM Cadillac has temporarily launched three models for the "new XT5", and the official price guidance is 399,900 yuan deluxe version, 419,900 yuan distinguished version and 459,900 yuan platinum version.

But here’s the thing.The three "new XT5" models are all four-wheel drive models, with a hummingbird chassis as standard. According to its official words, "entry is luxury".

Remember when Cadillac introduced the CT5 midsize sedan,Once shouted a "no rear drive, no luxury" brand slogan, now it has become "door is luxury".

It can be seen that SAIC GM is also "shopping". In addition to the high configuration and the usual material kindness, the key is to cast the price "trump card", these three four-wheel drive models have dropped by 120,000 yuan, and the entry-level luxury version directly into the 280,000 yuan or less.

Compared with the old XT5, the new XT5’s appearance and interior style are basically replaced by the family style of Cadillac’s flagship sedan CT6, but from the feedback of public opinion, this set of appearance is somewhat "not very compatible" on the flagship sedan, plus the back, sales are very poor.

However, this set of appearance and interior is used on the XT5, and with the addition of a longer and wider body size, it looks very imposing and domineering. The interior is also a large screen, creating a very good sense of technological luxury.

For example, the new XT5 car is 4888mm long, 75mm longer than the old model; the car is 1957mm wide, 54mm wider than the old model; the car is 1694mm high, 12mm higher than the old model. It looks obviously taller and more powerful than the old model.

But looking at it the other way around, the new XT5 weighs 1960khg, the same as the old four-wheel drive version, but the fuel consumption is 8.23L/100km, which is much higher than the old four-wheel drive 7.97L/100km.

If you don’t care about the extra fuel consumption, can you buy the new XT5 with your eyes closed? In the medium-sized SUV of the fuel car, you want both luxury brand and affordable price, or four-wheel drive, the new XT5 is really cost-effective.

Hong Kong flavor is no longer there, but it still won the Chinese film box office championship in May 1st

"The Bomb Disposal Expert"


1905 movie network news As one of the most eye-catching Chinese film schedules after the opening of this year, May 1st has assembled a group of Chinese films with excellent quality and different styles. Among the four main films, "The Bomb Disposal" successfully led the box office with 220 million, surpassing the early attention. A work that is almost Hong Kong-style lineup can attract so much money in the mainland. It has to remind people of an old topic: will the Hong Kong film craze recover again?


Hong Kong film is synonymous with a golden age for the Chinese film industry. From the 1970s to the mid-1990s, a large number of influential film works emerged in Hong Kong. At the same time, with the surge in Hong Kong film production and the best-selling of works overseas, the production concept of genre films was gradually introduced into the system, which is also the source of the creation of Hong Kong films to have a hundred schools of thought contending for prosperity. Among them, police and gangster films like this have always been one of the hottest genre films in Hong Kong. However, looking at its details, "The Bomb Disposal" can no longer be counted as those "once" Hong Kong films we often mention.


In the words of the film critic David Podwell, the Hong Kong films of the 1990s in his eyes can be said to be "all too much, all crazy". In that era of blossoming flowers, the relative freedom of the Hong Kong film market, coupled with a high degree of commerciality, made a large number of Hong Kong filmmakers began to explore the entertainment tastes of ordinary market audiences, so that various types of films began to be produced systematically.

Lin ZhengyingThe zombie movie was a smash hit

Due to the success of various Hong Kong-style films, a large number of homogeneous works continue to appear in the Hong Kong film market. For example, the number of Hong Kong-style zombie films and martial arts films that have been popular in the Asia-Pacific is eye-popping. Looking at Lin Zhengying’s zombie series alone, there have been different types of comedy, thriller, magic and so on, but most of them are shoddy. On the other hand, the short production cycle of the film at that time was also amazing to modern filmmakers. Andy Lau once had the reputation of "Brother 14" in the circle, because he had set a record of 14 films in one year. Today, such a "fast food" filming efficiency is almost impossible. In addition, Hollywood movies began to attack the global market, and Hong Kong stars gradually emigrated out of the country. People’s tastes were no longer limited to Hong Kong-style low-cost productions. Under the combination of various internal and external factors, the death of old-fashioned Hong Kong films was also inevitable.


But then again, does the decline of old-fashioned Hong Kong films represent the decline of Hong Kong films? I don’t think the two can be equated. Although the end of traditional Hong Kong films is inevitable, the future rise of "new Hong Kong films" can also be predicted.


After the old-fashioned Hong Kong films gradually lost their market, a new development direction emerged with the famous CEPA agreement signed between the mainland and Hong Kong in 2003. A large number of Hong Kong filmmakers chose to go north to find opportunities, and the production teams of the mainland and Hong Kong also began to deepen cooperation. Therefore, under the change of times, a new mode of survival of Hong Kong films was opened.

"Chills."

Judging from the domestic film market in recent years, a large number of high-quality films co-produced in mainland Hong Kong have begun to emerge., "Cold War", and a series of Hong Kong-style works have achieved good box office and reputation in China. And the excellent results of "Bomb Locker" in the May 1st film also prove that Hong Kong-style genre films are still in line with the taste of the audience, although these films are no longer purely made in Hongkong.

The tunnel construction site of "The Bomb Disposal Expert"

The rise of the co-production genre is rooted in taking the essence of the classic and removing the dross. First of all, in the production level, we see the well-intentioned new generation of "Hong Kong films". The 1:1 modeling of the Hung Hom tunnel in "The Bomb Locker" is expensive, and there has never been such a Hollywood-level production in the old-fashioned Hong Kong film. The police film emphasizes the opposition between soldiers and thieves, with a clear distinction between black and white. It mainly relies on the hot action scenes to attract audiences, and the realistic environment setting makes this kind of genre film with scenes even more powerful.


Many people regret the departure of Hong Kong films, on the one hand, they are actually regretting the aging of a group of actors. At that time, the level of star-making in Hong Kong was very representative. Film production companies such as Media Asia and Emperor began to adopt a series of internationally accepted business methods such as high-paid stars from a very early age, and also allowed directors and stars to form their own subsidiaries, and they made movies independently. Although film production today does not have the freedom of Hong Kong films at the beginning, it has gradually expanded in the casting industry. Hong Kong stars are no longer the only dominant genre film.

Jiang WuAnd Andy Lau

In the actor part, most of the co-productions will introduce mainland actors to join. The villain Huo Huo played by Jiang Wu in "The Bomb Disposal" is a combination of madness and agility. In classic Hong Kong films, we often see vicious villains appear, such as the "four villains" in the Hong Kong film industry, who specialize in playing such arrogant, vicious and somewhat brainless villains. However, such a monotonous role setting is obviously no longer in line with today’s new generation of movie-watching groups, and the public wants to see some characters with distinct personalities and complex personalities appear. And Huo Huo, in addition to being ruthless, has a warm affection for his younger brother. This almost selfish love makes him even crazier. Such villains are more vivid in appearance than villains who can only play ruthless.

Andy Lau andCai Hanyi

In addition to the villain, the protagonist played by Andy Lau and the teacher played by Song Jia have a touching love affair. This emotional scene outside the main line makes this hero not just a face-to-face positive character, but his weak side is displayed in front of the audience, making the protagonist fuller and more humane. It is also specially said that although Hua Zai, as the lead actor, shines brightly in the film, the young police officer played by the new generation actor Cai Hanyi in the film also contributed to the performance of the king in a shorter scene. In addition to the tension set in the plot part, he is more impressive than Hua Zai in some ways.

Andy Lau deals with the final bomb at the end of the film

At the end of "The Bomb Locker", Zhang Zai Shan, a bomb disposal expert played by Liu Tianwang, sacrificed his life in order to save the Hung Hom tunnel. In today’s film culture market where superhero movies are running all over the place, the demise of heroes has become a rare thing, but recalling those classics engraved in people’s memory: Chen Zhen in China, Chen Yongren in China, and Xiao Ma in China, all of which culminate in the end of the protagonist’s life. When Zhang Zai Shan cuts the last line of life, the residual Hong Kong flavor seems to take us back to that golden age. Although the success of "The Bomb Locker" does not represent the recovery of Hong Kong films, it more allows the audience to see the new direction of Hong Kong films’ transplantation and reconstruction in today’s new era.
