At the Chengdu Auto Show in 2023, Mr. Zhao Zhijian, the director of polar star sales and network development, was a guest at the smart travel booth.

As an ultra-luxury pure electric brand, Polar Star’s temperament is quite outstanding.

It cherishes feathers and disdains to become a plaything of price war, so it chooses [only increase but not decrease], instead of seesaw a few tens of thousands of yuan, Polar Star 4 chooses to give a high-value rights and interests gift package with the highest value of 130,000.

Obviously, it is the one who was really born on the track, but it soon put down the stubborn shelves that fuel performance brands often have. Because for polar star, the most important thing is not simply to beat competitors, but what is really needed in this era.

Green mountains and green waters seem ordinary and extraordinary.

The following is an interview record.

　

Smart Travel: What are the highlights of Polar Star () booth at Chengdu Auto Show?

Zhao Zhijian: Polar Star of Chengdu Auto Show has brought two latest products. The first one is Polar Star 4, a pure electric high-performance SUV released at the auto show, with a price range of 349,800-533,800. There are six configurations, which bring different feelings to customers. Another car is the ultra-luxury pure electric SUV Polar Star 3, which was released at the European headquarters last October and is expected to be delivered next year.

Smart Travel: What rights and benefits did Polar Star 4 offer to users?

Zhao Zhijian: At the Shanghai Auto Show, we started Xiaoding. This time, we brought the best gift to Chengdu Auto Show, providing a very competitive and attractive "Eight Planets" rights plan for the first batch of car owners who became Polar Star 4: In the power supply link, we provide free charging piles; In terms of price protection, we promise that before the end of 2024, Polar Star will have any price adjustment part, and the official will make up the difference for the first batch of car owners; According to the relevant documents issued by the state, from January 1, 2024, the purchase tax of pure electric vehicles exceeding 30,000 yuan will have the market floating policy borne by the users themselves, and Polar Star promises to make up the difference for the first batch of car owners; In terms of products, we also bring two very powerful free package upgrades to our customers: the first is the Polestar intelligent driver assistance system, which is 35,000 yuan in our official, and we provide it to car owners free of charge. In addition, consumers can get a NAPPA leather seat set worth 40,000 yuan with an additional 6,800 yuan. The configuration also includes massage ventilation for the front seats and headrest stereos for the main and auxiliary drivers. The original standard 12 Harman Kardon stereos will be increased to 16; In terms of after-sales, we will provide all the first car owners with lifetime free warranty and free basic maintenance for three times in three years, which means that from the perspective of the original car, the first car owners will hardly have any additional expenses within three years.

Overall, our whole package has provided customers with practical value of more than 130,000 RMB. As a luxury pure electric brand, we don’t intend to make preferential sales promotion by lowering the price, which is still very harmful to the brand, but in order to show the sincerity of Polar Star, we only increase rather than decrease, and take out the rights and interests of equal value to let users feel the warmth of Polar Star.

Smart Travel: Polar Star 4 is about to be delivered. What kind of users are currently determined?

Zhao Zhijian: Since the Shanghai Auto Show, we have made an overall portrait survey of Xiaoding customers and prospective car owners. I can describe the general outline of the group. This is a group of young people who are mainly post-90 s and have great personality. They have a unique insight into aesthetics, a certain appreciation of art, a high degree of education, and a relatively high proportion of unmarried people. To sum up, they are such a group of young people who are unmarried at a young age and have high knowledge and high salary.

Smart Travel: Will the brand setting of a more exquisite niche have an impact on sales?

Zhao Zhijian: In the past, the China market did think that Polar Star was a relatively niche luxury brand, but after the adjustment of market strategy and the upgrading of consumption concept, especially in the special environment of tram brands, more and more consumers will not care so much about the degree of the brand, and even to some extent, the niche may become an advantage point to assist the brand’s goodwill. As a luxury brand, we are right about the target, so we will not pursue a particularly large amount, which means that we will not become a streetcar, and we can.

Smart Travel: At this conference, Polar Star announced that Polestar OS will be upgraded after delivery, and the outside world also has high expectations. What kind of experience will this system bring to users?

Zhao Zhijian: Polestar OS is a fusion product. Its underlying design is Flyme Auto, which integrates the original theme of Polestar, orange, icon and body texture, and integrates the intelligent interactive logic of Flyme Auto to realize the interconnection between mobile phone and car through Flyme Link super desktop. In the past, people knew more about Huawei’s HarmonyOS system, but I can confidently say that Flyme Auto is as excellent as Huawei HarmonyOS’s intelligent cockpit system, which realizes the interconnection of everything well.

Smart Travel: If you were asked to describe the polar star brand with one trait, what would you choose?

Zhao Zhijian: I think there are two. First of all, Polar Star may be a brand new and young brand to China people, but in fact, it has a history of more than 70 years. It used to be a brand of a motorcade and achieved very good results in various competitions. Later, it was transformed from a brand of a motorcade to a brand of a car. In the era of oil cars, Polestar is actually a high-performance brand under Volvo, which exists like M series. Therefore, Polestar is actually the orthodox blood with track genes. Only the team of Polestar has these excellent products. This is the accumulation and inheritance of the course, and it is also the rare heritage of most high-performance super-running brands. The difference between old money and new rich.

On the other hand, I think the competition in this range comes from the understanding of the word "luxury". We think that at present, "environmental protection" is the most luxurious luxury on the planet, and it requires you to spend a lot of money, material resources and energy to maintain it. The mountains and rivers are seemingly ordinary and the most unusual. From the moment when Polestar was transformed into a pure electric product, its mission was environmental protection and sustainability. In the process of design and manufacture, we used as many environmental protection materials as possible, so Polar Star hopes to become a zero-carbon brand completely by 2030. We always believe that environmental protection is the scarcest and precious wealth in the world.

In the Mid-Levels Valley Garden in Yantian District, resident Zhang Shuying showed reporters how to drink direct drinking water.

　　Turning on the tap and filling the glass with tap water, Zhang Shuying, who lives in Building 2 of Banshan Valley Garden in Yantian District, drank it without hesitation. "This water is delicious, and I feel better than foreign direct drinking water."

　　In April 2019, Yantian District realized direct drinking of tap water in the whole district, which is also the first administrative district in the city to realize direct drinking of tap water. It is estimated that by 2023, Shenzhen will achieve full coverage of direct drinking water in all central cities, and in 2025, it will achieve direct drinking water in the whole city.

　　The day when you turn on the tap and drink is getting closer and closer to all Shenzhen people.

　　Yantian district is the first in the city to realize direct drinking of tap water.

　　Yantian District, where Mid-Levels Valley Garden is located, is the first administrative district in Shenzhen to realize direct drinking of tap water.

　　Yantian District has a small area, only 74.99 square kilometers, and the municipal water supply network is 220 kilometers long. Hu Ping, an engineer of Yantian District Water Affairs Bureau, said that although the ontology conditions are good, some municipal pipe networks in the whole region use rustable pipes such as welded steel pipes and gray cast iron; In some residential areas, due to the different quality standards of development and construction units, yellow water, rusty water and high leakage rate of pipe network are common; In other communities, there is no distinction between the production and consumption of the second supply pump room (domestic water and fire water), the level of property management is low, and the irregular cleaning of the pool water tank causes secondary pollution.

　　In 2012, in order to improve the quality of life of residents, Yantian District Committee and Government took the initiative to start the renovation project of high-quality drinking water pipe network in the city. This also provided experience for the later implementation of the high-quality drinking water household project in the whole city. Subsequently, Yantian District successively carried out various work of drinking tap water directly, and solved all kinds of historical problems in a package. City Water Group actively cooperated in the construction process to provide supporting water meters, valves and other equipment.

　　Since 2012, the municipal, district government and water group have invested a total of 947 million yuan, and successively completed the upgrading and renovation of the double-source Yantian branch line, two main water plants, 13.09 km old municipal water supply pipe network, water supply pipe network of about 40,000 residential quarters in 222 communities, 4 municipal pressurized pump houses and secondary water supply facilities in 131 communities. At the beginning of 2019, the work of drinking tap water directly in Yantian District passed the evaluation of an expert team headed by Academician Qu Jiuhui, and the first demonstration zone of drinking tap water directly in Shenzhen was officially built. By the end of 2021, Yantian District will also achieve full coverage of meter reading in residential quarters, and the whole chain of water plants, municipal pipe networks, residential pipe networks and secondary water supply facilities in the whole district will be professionally managed, so that residents’ water safety will be more guaranteed.

　　Five water plants in our city have built advanced treatment processes.

　　The quality of tap water is directly related to the health and quality of life of the citizens. However, when water enters thousands of households from nature, it mainly goes through three stages: water source project, waterworks and water supply pipe network. After flowing into high-rise residential areas, it needs secondary pressurization, so the problem of secondary water supply facilities arises. For Shenzhen, except for a small amount of local self-produced water, the water source mainly comes from Dongjiang outside the city, and the water quality is excellent and stable. Therefore, whether tap water can meet the standard of direct drinking depends on the water plant, the pipe network and the facilities for supply.

　　Less than 1 km away from the northwest of Shenzhen North Railway Station, which is densely populated, is the location of Shenzhen Longhua Redwood Landscape Factory. In December, 2020, the second phase project of Redwood Shanshui Factory was completed and put into water, with a new conventional treatment capacity of 150,000 cubic meters/day and an advanced treatment capacity of 300,000 cubic meters/day, making it the first modern water plant with advanced treatment technology outside the original special zone.

　　Sun Jun, chairman of Deepwater Longhua Water Company, said: "The successful completion of the Redwood Landscape Factory has laid a solid foundation for Longhua District to realize direct drinking of tap water, created a replicable and scalable experience for the new renovation and expansion of the city’s water plants, and also made up a key link for the balanced and full coverage of water supply services in all districts inside and outside the original special zone."

　　Yang Qun, director of the Water Resources and Water Supply Security Department of Shenzhen Water Affairs Bureau, said that in recent years, the city has continuously increased the new renovation and expansion of waterworks and the upgrading of standards. At present, five waterworks, including Bijiashan, Meilin and Hongmushan, have built advanced treatment processes with a total capacity of 1.27 million cubic meters per day. At the same time, Miaokeng, Baguang and Jiazitang waterworks are under new (expanded) construction, the second phase expansion project of waterworks in large industrial zone is about to enter the site, and more than 10 waterworks such as Nanshan and Donghu are under preliminary work; In the future, our city will also shut down a number of small water plants with low early construction standards.

　　"It is estimated that by 2025, through the integration of waterworks, the total number of waterworks in the city will be about 30, with a total water supply capacity of 8.44 million cubic meters per day, all of which are equipped with advanced treatment processes, which means that the basic conditions for producing direct drinking water are available." Yang Qun said.

　　The city will complete the renovation and upgrading of pipe network and secondary supply facilities next year.

　　Compared with the bidding of waterworks, the transformation and upgrading of pipe network and secondary supply facilities are more complicated because of their many points and wide areas.

　　Yujing Huacheng, located in Futian Street, is a large community in Futian District, consisting of 7 high-rise buildings for commercial and residential use, with a total of 3,580 households and more than 10,000 people. In the pump room on the second floor of the basement, six temporary water supply pumps are roaring, and the workers are preparing to dismantle the old pumps, which will be completed in a few days.

　　"The old pump is big and heavy, and the temporary pump and the new pump are only half the size of the old pump, which is more stable and energy-saving." Long Ling Feng, the site manager of the second water supply project of Liyuan Water Design Consulting Company, told the reporter that the renovation of Yujing Huacheng will implement the high-quality drinking water project and the second water supply facility upgrading project simultaneously, which will save time and coordination cost compared with separate construction.

　　Among them, the high-quality drinking water project will transform the old buried water supply pipeline into ductile iron pipe and the exposed pipeline into 316L thin-walled stainless steel pipe; The upgrading of secondary water supply facilities will separate the existing pool for domestic fire fighting, thus reducing the residence time of water flow. The original concrete pool wall of the pool is covered with food-grade ceramic tiles, and the water pump, pipes and fittings in the pump room are made of 316L stainless steel, which will significantly improve the water supply quality of the community.

　　The reporter learned from Shenzhen Water Affairs Bureau that in terms of pipe network, since 2013, our city has successively carried out two high-quality drinking water household projects. The renovation funds are borne by the city and district according to the ratio of 1:1, and the water supply enterprises bear the cost of user water meters and supporting valve groups. The scope of renovation mainly includes the total water meter in the community, user sub-meters, municipal pipe network and the water supply pipes between each user’s household location. After the renovation, it will be handed over to the water supply enterprises for maintenance and management, and the water supply enterprises will realize meter reading to households. In the first phase of the city, the renovation project of the old water supply pipe network in about 1050 residential quarters was completed, and the project effect was good; At present, the renovation of 1000 residential areas has been completed in the second phase, and it is estimated that by June 2022, the renovation of the old water supply pipe network in the remaining residential areas will be completed.

　　In terms of secondary water supply facilities, at the end of 2018, the city started the upgrading project of secondary water supply facilities in residential areas of the city. The renovation funds were borne by the city and district according to the ratio of 1:1, and the water supply facilities such as pump houses, pools (boxes), pumps and monitoring equipment in about 2,900 residential areas in the city were upgraded. At present, all districts have fully entered the construction site, and more than 300 residential renovation projects have been completed. It is expected that all renovation tasks will be completed by the end of 2022. After the renovation, the water supply facilities in the community will be handed over to the water supply enterprises for maintenance and management, and the water quality and water pressure will be effectively improved, further improving the water supply service level of the whole city.

　　After the completion of these two projects, and the implementation of the upgrading of water plants, direct drinking of tap water will be realized in various districts of Shenzhen.

　　"The girl’s parents admit that they have been beating her." The reporter learned from the Qingshuihe police station yesterday that at 9 o’clock the night before yesterday, the parents of the dead girl were detained on suspicion of abusing their daughter.

　　According to the police investigating the case, the girl’s parents admitted that they had been abusing their daughter Xiaoqing for a long time and had been detained the night before. According to the police, the girl’s brother has entrusted his uncle to take care of him and went to school on time yesterday.

　　Yesterday, the reporter came to the Fengguang Primary School where Xiaoqing once studied. According to the school’s investigation, Xiaoqing was in the first grade of this school during 2004-2005. Director Chen of the school guidance office said that Xiaoqing was found to have been beaten by her parents, so the school also visited Xiaoqing’s home. In September 2005, the person who claimed to be Xiaoqing’s "uncle" went through the transfer formalities for Xiaoqing, saying that Xiaoqing’s parents were in other places and wanted to give Xiaoqing to her biological parents.

　　According to the police, Xiaoqing’s parents said that Xiaoqing then transferred to the nearby Qiaoxiang Primary School and Yulong School. However, according to the survey, both schools said that they had not accepted this student.

　　Lawyer Chen Honghui of Guangdong Zhongcheng Law Firm said that according to Article 260 of the Criminal Law, if the victim is seriously injured or killed by ill-treatment, he can be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of more than 2 years and less than 7 years. If Xiaoqing’s death is caused by parents’ beating, it is a crime of abuse on the surface, but the possibility of intentional injury to death is not ruled out. (Reporter Luo Qiufang)

　　10-year-old girl suspected of being abused by her parents to death.

　　Shenzhen News Network (Reporter Zhang Yan) "This child is so pitiful, especially those of us who are mothers, we can’t help crying." Yesterday, Ni Ruoyi, a nurse in the Armed Police Hospital who worked in the emergency department for more than 8 years, shed tears for the first time during the rescue. "Not only me, but also several nurses who participated in the rescue cried."

　　The "poor child" in Ni Ruoyi’s mouth is Xu Qiaoqing, a 10-year-old girl. On her swollen and round face, her long eyelashes are particularly eye-catching, but her eyes are closed forever.

　　According to reports, from the moment when Ni Ruoyi took Xu Qiaoqing to the ambulance, the girl had no breathing and heartbeat. After several rescues, at 12 noon yesterday, the doctor announced the death of Xu Qiaoqing.

　　The description in the medical record truly makes everyone feel Xiaoqing’s misery when he was admitted to the hospital: "The patient was unconscious, his breathing and heartbeat stopped, his whole body was cyanotic, his face was blue, his pupils were dilated on both sides, and his reflection on light disappeared … There was an old scar on his right temporal part, a hematoma under his left skull and scalp, cold limbs, multiple burns on his chest, thigh and calf, a gyro on his epidermis, and his chest and abdomen.

　　Doctors said that there should be three reasons for Xu Qiaoqing’s death. One is long-term violent injury, the other is chronic physical injury, and the third is malnutrition, but the direct cause of death needs to be determined by forensic autopsy and pathological anatomy.

　　Wang Zhiyong, director of Qingshuihe Police Station, said that at present, Xu Qiaoqing’s parents have been subjected to compulsory measures and further in-depth investigation by the police. The police also went to the community where Xu Qiaoqing lived to investigate and invited Xu Qiaoqing’s 12-year-old brother to the police station to assist in the investigation.

　　Xiaoqing suffered from violence for a long time.

　　Ni Ruoyi is a day nurse in the emergency department of the Armed Police Hospital. As soon as she went to work, at 8: 03, a message came from the 120 Emergency Center. Someone reported that "a child fainted" near the new garden of the Armed Police. She packed her things with the ex-con doctor and set off at once.

　　Ni Ruoyi said that the ambulance had just left the hospital less than 200 meters when she saw a man and a woman holding a child with a sheet waving to them on the roadside. According to the reporter’s later confirmation, these two people are Xiaoqing’s parents. The doctor took the child to the car and found that she had no breathing and heartbeat. She immediately used a balloon to assist her breathing. Ni Ruoyi asked her parents why Xiaoqing "fainted". Parents said that it was a burn, and then they said that it was a fall. "At about 7: 30, she was not very comfortable and her breathing was not smooth."

　　Girl’s edema and malnutrition

　　After being sent to the rescue room, the emergency department of the Armed Police Hospital mobilized all the people to rescue Xiaoqing by cardiopulmonary resuscitation. After 10 minutes, Xiaoqing recovered her heartbeat, and after half an hour, she was breathing, but Xiaoqing’s blood pressure was always low and the situation was critical. "Because there are so many new injuries and old injuries on children, even there are injuries in the armpits that ordinary people can’t hurt. This should be intentional injury," Zhai Chengshun, deputy director of the emergency department, pointed to the soft tissue behind the knee. Moreover, after blood tests, it was found that this little girl who looked white and fat had anemia and malnutrition, and she had edema all over her body. "So, the hospital immediately reported the police and hoped that the police would intervene in the investigation to see if there was any abuse."

　　"I felt the most obvious when I inserted a catheter into her. Her groin and inner thigh muscles were all hard, and it took a lot of effort to successfully catheterization." Ni Ruoyi, who has been involved in the rescue, said that Xiaoqing’s whole body burn area exceeded 25%, and her abdomen had a large burn scar, accounting for almost half of the little girl’s abdomen area, or bright red flesh color. According to her parents, she was scalded by the boiling water of the water heater ten days ago, but she was not sent to the hospital after the scald and did not receive formal treatment.

　　"Why didn’t such a big wound treat the child?" Ni Ruoyi was in a low mood. She nursed Xiaoqing carefully, but the doctor gradually found that Xiaoqing had more scars, such as "bleeding on the edge of her eyes", "pink blood foam sputum gushed out when her lungs were pressed" and "a tube of blood was drawn out from her abdominal cavity".

　　At 8: 40 in the morning, the police of Qingshuihe police station immediately rushed to the hospital after receiving the report and took Xiaoqing’s parents to the police station to assist in the investigation. According to a preliminary investigation by the police, Xiaoqing and her brother live with their parents in a residential building at No.9 Jinhu Road, and their 55-year-old father and 44-year-old mother are allegedly laid off at home. But later, the reporter went to Xiaoqing’s home and found that the decoration of Xiaoqing’s home was very good in this dilapidated residential building. It seems that his family is good.

　　What is even more puzzling is that 10-year-old Xiaoqing actually dropped out of school at home. Parents said that Xiaoqing was born and sent back to Puning’s hometown because she was super-born. Xiaoqing’s parents and brother were registered in Shenzhen, while Xiaoqing was registered in Puning. At the age of 3, Xiaoqing was taken back to Shenzhen. After that, she studied in the nearby Fengguang Primary School and Qiaoxiang School, but because of her poor academic performance and performance, she was simply not allowed to study because she was afraid that she would influence other students.

　　Xiaoqing in her parents’ mouth is a naughty child, who not only has the habit of wetting the bed, but also makes such a move as urinating on the balcony, so her parents have beaten her. About half a month ago, Xiaoqing’s grandmother came to Shenzhen, and Xiaoqing made a little move again, breaking a chair where her grandmother was sitting. Dad used a clothes hanger and her mother hit her with shoes. But Xiaoqing’s parents didn’t admit that they had beaten Xiaoqing recently, only that Xiaoqing had a little cold recently. For Xiaoqing’s alternating scars, her parents explained that the child was accidentally burned while taking a bath with a water heater.

　　Wang Zhiyong, director of Qingshuihe Police Station, said that at present, Xiaoqing’s parents have been taken compulsory measures and need further investigation. After receiving the report, the police of the police station also went to the residential area where Xiaoqing lived to investigate and invited Xiaoqing’s 12-year-old brother back to the police station to assist in the investigation.

　　At 12 noon, Xiaoqing’s parents received a phone call from the Armed Police Hospital and were told that Xiaoqing had died. The police investigating the case told the reporter that Xiaoqing’s mother was crying at that time, and Xiaoqing’s father looked blank. Xiaoqing’s father has been handcuffed at this time.

　　It will take time for forensic experts to identify the cause of death.

　　Zhai Chengshun told reporters that there should be three reasons for Xiaoqing’s death, one is long-term violent injury, the other is chronic physical injury, and the third is malnutrition, but the direct cause of death needs to be determined by forensic autopsy and pathological anatomy.

　　At 2 o’clock in the afternoon, the medical staff who had been busy all morning dispersed. In the emergency room, Xiaoqing’s blue-gray checkered sheet was lying on the ground alone. Xiaoqing was tightly wrapped in the blue sheet, waiting for the forensic doctor to replace her who could never speak again to tell the truth. At 2: 15, the forensic doctor arrived at the scene and began a preliminary examination of the body. It is understood that the autopsy results will not come out for one or two days.

　　"Xiaoqing’s parents will face more than two years and less than seven years’ imprisonment if they are suspected of abusing children," said Wang Jinzhu, a lawyer of Guangdong Dana Law Firm. According to the relevant provisions of Article 260 of the Criminal Law, if Xiaoqing’s parents are suspected of abusing children for a long time and eventually lead to the death of family members, they will be suspected of joint crimes, in which case the judge may impose a heavier punishment.

　　A few days ago, the "Urban Comprehensive Garbage Harmless and Resource-based Treatment System" was officially put into operation in Linyi County, Shanxi Province. The system’s harmless and resource-based treatment of comprehensive garbage can not only turn urban garbage into treasure, but also become new available resources, and at the same time, it will not cause adverse effects on the urban environment.

　　At the scene of Linyi County Urban Comprehensive Garbage Harmless and Resource-based Treatment Center, the reporter saw that this fully automatic numerical control system with a daily garbage treatment capacity of 300 tons is easy to operate and highly automated.

　　According to reports, the system can sort garbage without waste water, waste gas and waste residue, and the sorting rate can reach more than 99.5%. After that, the sorted garbage can be turned into reusable resources, and the resource utilization rate can reach more than 96%.

　　"After the garbage enters the factory and is crushed, it is sent to the fermentation bin, and the super biological bacteria are sprayed in the fermentation bin for anaerobic fermentation. During the fermentation process, the garbage produces biogas. After desulfurization, dehydration, dust removal and pressure stabilization, the biogas meets the requirements of biogas generator set for biogas flow and quality, and then the biogas is delivered to the generator set for power generation." The staff of the center told the reporter, "The garbage after secondary fermentation is rich in a large number of nutrients needed for crop growth. The nutrient soil obtained after sorting and the biogas residue produced by anaerobic digestion of garbage percolate can be ground and granulated after adding appropriate nutrients. Organic fertilizer can be produced, which meets the relevant requirements of national agricultural fertilizer production standards and is used for landscaping."

　　The comprehensive separator is the core equipment of the system. According to the characteristics of garbage, it can screen garbage into several categories, including organic soil, organic fertilizer, waste plastics, construction garbage, waste metal, etc., by using technologies such as wind power, gravity, magnetism, shape and speed, combined with technological processes such as mechanical selection, wind separation, magnetic separation, screening, automatic shearing and crushing.

　　"Garbage is a misplaced resource, and how much garbage is produced when how many resources are consumed." Yuan Li, chairman of Jiangsu Xuefeng Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. believes that, in turn, how much garbage should be transformed into how many resources.

　　It is understood that this set of urban comprehensive garbage harmless and resource-based treatment system has invested a total of 130 million yuan, and the annual economic benefit is nearly 40 million yuan. Tested by relevant departments, the comprehensive garbage disposal center in Linyi, Shanxi Province has reached the requirements of relevant national environmental protection technical specifications, and has become an example of systematic and market-oriented operation.

　　At present, there are three kinds of garbage disposal methods in the world: landfill, incineration for power generation and harmless and resource-based treatment. Among them, landfill not only occupies a lot of land resources, but also easily pollutes soil and groundwater resources, and can not produce economic benefits; Incineration power generation has a large investment and high operating cost. If it is not handled properly, the smoke will cause serious pollution to the atmospheric environment and be harmful to human body. Experts pointed out that the commissioning of the system has ended the history of landfill and incineration of urban comprehensive garbage. The harmless and resource-based treatment of comprehensive garbage can not only improve the urban environment and improve the quality of citizens’ living environment, but also realize the reuse of resources and save resources and energy.

　　Core reading

　　On August 30th, the European Commission ruled that the American Apple Company illegally evaded taxes of 13 billion euros in Ireland, and Apple Company had to return the tax to the Irish government. This will be the largest tax collection bill issued by the European Union since the implementation of supervision on corporate taxation in member countries.

　　The American government’s intervention in this incident has made the commercial and trade contradictions between the United States and Europe more prominent.

　　To punish apples, the EU aims to make an example of them.

　　Margaret Vestager, European Commissioner in charge of competition affairs, said at a press conference held on 30th, "After a three-year investigation, the European Commission found that the Irish government gave Apple a competitive tax preference, which made Apple pay a considerable amount of tax less than other enterprises for many years. According to EU law, it is illegal for companies to obtain state tax assistance. The tax rules that Ireland reached with Apple in 1991 and 2007 were equivalent to state subsidies and violated EU law. "

　　Vestager said: "The standard tax rate of Irish corporate income tax is 12.5%, and the European Commission survey shows that Ireland’s selective tax policy has reduced Apple’s corporate tax from 1% in 2003 to 0.005% in 2014." To this end, the European Commission ruled that the Irish government must collect the tax (including interest) from Apple from 2003 to 2014 up to 13 billion euros, but the specific amount is determined by Ireland.

　　The European Commission disclosed Apple’s tax avoidance measures in a press release issued on the 30th: "According to Irish law, an Irish company may not pay taxes in Ireland if its management and control rights are not in the country. Using this unique tax law, Apple first set up an Apple International Sales Company in Ireland to receive all sales revenue outside the United States and enjoy a lower income tax rate. Then, through the parent company of Apple International Sales Company — — Apple International Operation Company transferred its profits to the British Virgin Islands, where the latter is headquartered. Since the management right of Apple International Operation Company is not in Ireland, there is no need to pay taxes in Ireland, and the British Virgin Islands is almost tax-free. "

　　In fact, Apple’s tax avoidance problem is just the tip of the iceberg. According to the EU’s estimation, tax avoidance causes tax losses of up to 70 billion euros to EU countries every year. The EU may also punish dozens of American companies such as Starbucks, Amazon and McDonald’s for tax avoidance in Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and other "tax havens" over the past years.

　　In response to the ruling, Apple said it would not bow its head.

　　For the European Commission’s ruling, Apple showed an attitude of never bowing. The company issued a statement saying that most of its profits are paid taxes in the United States, and it has never requested or obtained any special arrangements. The company has always been committed to doing business in Ireland and plans to continue to invest. Apple believes that the EU’s ruling on this case may damage the investment of multinational companies in Europe, which is not conducive to the European economy.

　　Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, published an open letter to customers. He bluntly said that this ruling made the principle of legal certainty in Europe face a "devastating blow". Luca Mestley, Apple’s chief financial officer, even said rudely that 13 billion euros was a "fabricated figure".

　　The largest party group in the European Parliament — — Burkhard Balz, a spokesman for the European People’s Party, expressed support for the European Commission’s ruling. He said: "any enterprise operating in Europe should abide by the laws of the European Union, and no one can have privileges. In order to protect the EU internal market and ensure that no one violates the rules, we need consistent and strict competition rules and boldly implement them. " However, Balz expressed dissatisfaction with the tax refund to the Irish government. He thought that "this is simply a strange way to encourage member States to violate EU laws, and this money should be included in the EU budget and owned by the EU".

　　Ross Maulde, investment director of British Bell Investment Company, believes that the EU’s huge tax on Apple seems to be trying to establish a fair image by cracking down on large overseas companies that avoid tax, but it remains to be seen whether this is beneficial to the EU’s economy. He said: "Capital always flows to the place where it is welcomed. In the past 20 years, Ireland’s economic development has largely benefited from its low corporate income tax policy. The EU will bear huge risks due to the punishment of Apple, which may weaken the enthusiasm of other big companies to enter Europe, destroy the investment environment and affect potential employment and taxation. " It is reported that Apple has 5,500 employees in Cork, Ireland, accounting for about a quarter of its European employees. Apple is also the largest private employer in Cork.

　　Irish Finance Minister Michael Noonan expressed "deep opposition" to the European Commission’s ruling. He said: "Ireland’s tax system is strictly implemented in accordance with the law, without exception. The Irish government will appeal to the European Court of Justice. "

　　Come forward to support, the United States threatened to carry out "retaliation."

　　American business people, members of Congress, and even the Ministry of Finance and the White House came out to support Apple, accusing the European Commission’s ruling of being unreasonable. The U.S. Treasury Department issued a statement saying that the European Commission’s assessment of retroactive taxes and fees was unfair and violated generally accepted legal principles. The actions of the European Commission may undermine foreign investment, the business environment in Europe and the economic partnership between the United States and the European Union.

　　Ernest, a White House spokesman, said that he was worried about the unilateral approach of the European Union and believed that it would undermine the fairness of the international tax system to taxpayers and enterprises.

　　The US government said that the EU’s tax investigation on American companies such as Apple, Amazon and Starbucks would create a very "unfortunate" international tax precedent. A white paper issued by the US Treasury pointed out that the EU is becoming the world’s tax police, and warned that if the EU declares Apple "guilty", the US Treasury will consider taking "retaliatory measures". US Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew accused the European Commission of singling out American companies for investigation. The European Commission responded that the EU treated all companies operating in Europe equally, and the investigation did not specifically target American companies.

　　With the intervention of the US government, this incident has gradually evolved from a problem between Apple and the European Union to a contradiction between the United States and Europe, and the prominent political color may deepen the rift between the United States and Europe in many aspects.

　　According to the analysis, after all, Apple is a big guy, and it will not be easily convinced by a ticket issued by the European Union, nor will it affect the company’s operation and production mode. Apple has indicated that it will resolutely appeal. If the two sides can’t reach a compromise, it will mean a protracted "court war" is about to be staged.

　　(Brussels, Washington, August 31st)

　　■ Comments

　　Hu Tianlong (Research Fellow, Institute of International Monetary Studies, Renmin University of China): The European Commission’s ruling against Apple is a punishment for multinational companies’ tax evasion, and it is also a warning for multinational companies to abuse tax loopholes in various countries to reduce the overall tax burden of the company. At the same time, it also continues the EU’s practice of strengthening control and restrictions on multinational companies operating in EU member countries in recent years.

　　At present, nearly 3/4 of the global top 500 multinational companies evade taxes and reduce the tax cost of the group through various tax avoidance plans and means. These companies set up operations in offshore financial centers such as Bermuda, Ireland, Luxembourg and the Netherlands to avoid or delay the payment of huge amounts of taxes. Specifically, Apple adopted a clever tax planning called "double Irish sandwich with Dutch sandwich" to avoid tax. Apple registered its subsidiaries in Europe, the Middle East, India, Africa, Asia and the Pacific in Cork, Ireland, which means that two-thirds of Apple’s total global revenue is generated by Irish employees who only account for 4% of the total global employees.

　　The European Commission’s ruling itself is indeed suspected of interfering with the tax jurisdiction of the Irish government. To some extent, the implementation of the ruling by the European Commission has brought considerable uncertainty to the implementation and management of tax administration by EU member States. Except Ireland and Apple, which were dissatisfied with the ruling and said they would appeal, the White House and the Treasury both criticized and opposed the ruling.

　　It can be predicted that the ruling will definitely do harm to the EU in attracting foreign investment and maintaining the stability of employment and jobs. What’s more, the ruling may affect the negotiation of the transatlantic trade and investment partnership agreement (TTIP) between the United States and the European Union, and have a negative impact on the economic and trade cooperation and political mutual trust between the European Union and the United States.

A few days ago, Tesla’s out-of-control incidents occurred frequently, which caused the industry’s concern about the safety of autonomous driving data.

Take the owner of the accident in Zhengzhou, Henan Province as an example. At the end of April, under the order of Zhengzhou Zhengdong New District Market Supervision Bureau, Tesla provided the data of half an hour before the accident to the owner Zhang Jing (a pseudonym) and announced the data of one minute before the accident to the outside world.However, due to the incompleteness of the data it provides, Tesla has been questioned.

Some analysts believe that the complete data can analyze and judge whether there is a "brake failure" in the accident vehicle and whether there is a BUG in the Tesla system. "Before seeing the complete data, whether the vehicle caused an accident due to the failure of the’ brake’ can’t be concluded for the time being." A number of independent brand car companies related technical personnel said in an interview with national business daily.

In this context, Tesla also plans to launch a data query platform during the year. "The domestic vehicle owner data inquiry platform is under construction for all vehicle owners to inquire about the data of vehicle-machine interaction, and it is expected to go online this year." On May 11th, the relevant person in charge of Tesla China told the reporter.

Tesla "step on the pit" Linux time-sharing system?

"Until now, Tesla has not provided us with complete data." Zhang Wei’s husband told reporters that TeslaThe two data provided before are missing important parameters, such as brake pedal displacement, accelerator pedal displacement, motor torque and many other key data.

For the data released by Tesla, an executive of a self-owned brand car company who asked not to be named said that this data is incomplete. From the existing data, it is impossible to see what caused the accident.

Some people think that Tesla products have these problems because they use time-sharing operating system as the core system of vehicles.Time-sharing operating system will be unable to complete some tasks, and the tasks that cannot be completed will cause the system to crash.

"Tesla’s entire operating system is based on Linux, and it is equipped with a non-real-time (that is, time-sharing) operating system. From now on, Tesla has made some cuts to the Linux system, making the system response speed fast enough. "An executive of an automotive software technology company who asked not to be named told reporters,Linux is currently the best system to support the autonomous driving ecosystem.

According to Li Yuhao (a pseudonym), a senior computer programmer, neither real-time nor time-sharing operating systems can guarantee 100% security, which is mainly related to the reliability of the system.

"Time-sharing operating system is a processing task in which a time period is divided into time slices, giving priority to efficiency. If there are many tasks, real-time data monitoring may not be guaranteed. The real-time operating system actually has such a problem. "Li Yuhao told reporters.

For the time-sharing operating system used by Tesla, will there be a situation where the data cannot be monitored? Li Yuhao said: "If there is a BUG in the system, there may be cases where data cannot be recorded."

The above-mentioned senior executives of the automotive software technology company, who did not want to be named, put forward two situations in which the data could not be monitored: first, whether to bury the data (data burial is a key link in data collection), if the data is not buried, the data will definitely not be monitored; Second, it depends on whether the network architecture built by car companies can transmit data to the terminal in time, and if not, data will not be detected.

Experts call for vehicles to be equipped with "black boxes"

It is worth noting that in April this year, Tesla took the lead in launching the EDR suite query software in official website, USA. It is understood that EDR is an automobile event data recording system, which can be used to record the key data of automobile operation in three stages, including speed, ABS state, steering angle of steering wheel, airbag state and vehicle braking state.

Tesla said that the owner needs to spend $1,200 to purchase the cable and USB-to-CAN adapter needed for the connection, so that the vehicle can be connected, the driving data can be queried and the corresponding data report can be generated, which can be used to check the specific causes of the accident. "Tesla’s move respects the owner’s data control to a certain extent." He Yuan, executive director of the Data Law Research Center of Shanghai Jiaotong University, said publicly.

However, Tesla’s data query service is currently only open to North America, and Tesla users in China and other parts of the world are temporarily unable to use this function.

It is worth noting that although Tesla has made it clear that the relevant domestic data query platform will be launched during the year, it has not explained the specific data query content provided by the platform and whether it is charged. "We will release the specific content of the data platform when it is launched in China." The relevant person in charge of Tesla China told reporters.

The reporter learned that domestic car companies, including Weilai, Tucki and Chang ‘an, have not yet built a platform for car owners to query vehicle data. "With the increasing intelligence of vehicles, domestic car companies can only provide some basic data for car owners. Users can’t view all the data unless a third party, such as the public security department, intervenes. " A person in charge of an independent brand car company who asked not to be named told the reporter.

At present, there are no relevant laws and regulations on the uploading of intelligent networked automobile data and the publication of data flow specifications by automobile enterprises after accidents in China. "It is unrealistic for car companies to release all the data, which involves the personal privacy of users." Cui Dongshu, secretary-general of the National Passenger Car Market Information Association, believes that car companies can classify the data and make clear what can be provided to car owners, and the relevant regulatory authorities should also make clear the scope of data provided by car companies.

Therefore, Song Jian, a professor in the Department of Automotive Engineering of Tsinghua University, suggested that the relevant authorities can delimit the vehicle data range that needs to be supervised and put it into the vehicle driving recorder. For example, important data such as steering, braking and acceleration are recorded in real time by the driving recorder, just like the "black box" of an airplane. "In the event of an accident, manufacturers and individuals have no right to dismantle the’ black box’, and only the national authority can complete it." Song Jian said.

Data integrity is as important as authenticity.

"The data types of autonomous driving are very complicated, including external environment data, vehicle data, user driving behavior and privacy data." The relevant person in charge of the China Automobile Association said.

In view of the network security of intelligent networked vehicles, the "Guidelines for the Access Management of Intelligent Networked Automobile Manufacturers and Products" (draft for comments) issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in April this year clearly requires that intelligent networked automobile products should have the functions of event data recording and automatic driving data storage, so as to ensure the integrity of equipment recording data in case of vehicle accidents, including driving automation system running status, driver status, driving environment information, vehicle control information, etc.

However, while ensuring the integrity of vehicle data storage, how to ensure the authenticity and tamper resistance of vehicle data is another important challenge facing the development of automobile industry.

In fact, Tesla emphasized the authenticity of the data more than once. "Tesla’s vehicle data is that the vehicle gateway reads the signals of various components in the car and stores them in encrypted form." Tesla said that the stored data is recorded by encryption technology, and it is impossible to directly read, modify or delete related data.

Even so, it has not eliminated the doubts about the authenticity of the data provided by the outside world. In order to solve this problem, China Automobile Association released the blockchain platform for trusted storage of automobile data at the end of April, which provides enterprises with trusted storage of data by using the unique characteristics of data tamper-proof and traceability of blockchain technology.

The China Automobile Association suggested that the government should revise and supplement the regulations and standards needed to adapt to the development of intelligent networked vehicles according to the different data types involved in intelligent networked vehicles in the future, and also suggested that the data supervision system of intelligent networked vehicles should be further improved by adopting a multi-centralized data governance model.
