How to choose 93,800 cars, Bao Junyue and Plus?

New energy vehicles and fuel vehicles have their own characteristics. It is hard to say who is better than who, and consumers will boldly buy whatever they like. Today is a small suv. Let’s get to know each other.

Let’s take a look at the appearance of Baojun Yueye Plus. The front of Baojun Yueye Plus conforms to the aesthetics of consumers and looks very hard-core. The front headlights are very in line with consumers’ aesthetics and full of avant-garde feeling. The car is equipped with LED daytime running lights, automatic opening and closing, delayed closing and so on. Come to the side of the car, the car body size is 3996MM*1760MM*1726MM, the car uses simple lines, the side gives people a very capable feeling, with large-size thick-walled tires, giving people a very unique feeling. In terms of the rear end, Baojunyue Plus has a deep rear line, a more dynamic taillight style and an impressive overall layout.

Sitting in the car, the interior design is relatively calm and the visual effect is very good. The steering wheel of the car is very unique in shape, made of leather, and its shape is dynamic and lively. From the central control point of view, the car is decorated with a touch-sensitive LCD central control screen with young personality, which makes the interior design quite layered, and the overall design of the central control is very good. The dashboard and the seat are equally eye-catching. The dashboard of the car presents a fashionable and atmospheric design style, and the information reading is simple and clear. The car uses leather seats, which are wide and thick, and the overall comfort and wrapping are not bad.

Baojun Yueye Plus matches the gearbox, which is 75KW and 180N.m, with good power performance.

Baojun Yueye Plus trunk space has excellent overall performance and regular shape, which is convenient for people to take their luggage. At the same time, the car is equipped with anti-lock braking system (ABS), LED daytime running lights, brake assist (EBA/BAS, etc.), braking force distribution (EBD), traction control (ASR/TCS, etc.), main driver airbag, co-pilot airbag and front side airbag.

The model class introduced today is the most considered class when many people buy their first car, mainly because the size of this class is moderate and the price is reasonable. If you are going to buy a car, you might as well think about it.

Geely has a new car again! The new Xingyue L Oriental Obsidian is on the market, starting at 147,700.

In September, Geely Xingyue L sold a total of 19,044 new cars, ranking sixth in the total SUV sales list, and the market sales were extraordinary. On October 27th, Geely Automobile officially launched the new Xingyue L Oriental Obsidian. As a redesigned model, the new car launched five configurations.The price is 147.7-179.7 million yuan.

The launch of the new Xingyue L Oriental Obsidian model will strengthen the strength of the entire Xingyue L car series. Looking at the joint-venture SUV models in the same price range, CR-V is old-fashioned, and Volkswagen is also facing upgrading. Therefore, at this time, the arrival of Xingyue L Dongfang Obsidian will obviously make its compact SUV market "lively" again. So what is better about this new car update?

The first is the rejuvenation of Yan value. As we all know, the original design of Xingyue L gives people a feeling of great atmosphere, especially its large-size body shape, which is actually more like a medium-sized SUV. Now, the manufacturer has equipped the new "Yunqi Zhujing Front Grille" for the new Xingyue L Oriental Obsidian. With the new silver logo, the whole vehicle has more China elements, and there is no sense of disharmony at the same time. This is the charm brought by the design rejuvenation.

On the side of the car body, the new car has a waistline running through the car body to the tail, and the front and rear fenders are slightly convex, which looks quite powerful. The rim uses a 20-inch dense spoke design, which looks harmonious with its large body. The rear of the car is equipped with a penetrating taillight group, with silver chrome decoration and hidden exhaust below, which is also biased towards household attributes.

In terms of size, Xingyue L Dongfang Yao has a length, width and height of 4770/1895/1689mm and a wheelbase of 2845mm, which is still the positioning of a compact SUV, but it is also the body of a medium-sized SUV.

Secondly, the interior design has become better. Entering the car of Xingyue L Dongfang Yao, we can see that the new car continues to be equipped with a triple screen with a length of more than 1 meter, and there is also a 25.6-inch AR-HUD head-up display in front of the main driver. The central control panel is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 car chip, which is also the smart cabin level of new energy vehicles.

In addition, the physical buttons at the bottom of the screen are cancelled in the channel area of the center console, and the electronic shift lever made of knob control buttons and crystal materials is replaced, which can also make the owner more comfortable in actual use.

As for the internal configuration, it also has double-deck sound insulation glass, 12-speaker audio system of Yanfei Lishi, front seat heating/ventilation, headrest audio, panoramic sunroof, main driver’s seat massage, one-button leveling of co-pilot, three-temperature zone air conditioning, rear electric adjustment, rear privacy glass and optional rear seat heating. Therefore, the configuration of the new Xingyue L Oriental Obsidian can also be said to be armed to the teeth.

In terms of power, the new Xingyue L Dongfang Yao models listed this time are all equipped with 2.0T engines. The maximum power of the new car is 238 HP and the peak torque is 350 Nm. The transmission matches Aisin 8-speed automatic manual transmission, and the high-equipped models are also equipped with Borgwarner’s sixth-generation electro-hydraulic four-wheel drive system.

On the old Xingyue L model, many people commented that the chassis of this car was very textured and comfortable, but when it came to the new Xingyue L Oriental Obsidian, the power experience was beyond this level, and the logic and reaction speed of the gearbox were also very good, which was exactly like the driving experience that a higher-level car had. In addition, the performance of the new car in sound insulation is also by going up one flight of stairs, which is mainly due to the use of double-decker sound insulation glass in its front row. The chassis is as comfortable as ever, which is also the credit of CDC variable damping suspension.

In short, as a new modified model, Xingyue L Oriental Obsidian still surprises us in many aspects. In particular, its performance in driving texture gives me the feeling that it is more like the level of a medium-sized joint venture SUV with a level of more than 200,000. But now, Geely has achieved the same or even higher driving experience as the joint venture medium-sized SUV with a price of only 167,000 yuan, so I think that the overall price of this Xingyue L Oriental Obsidian model is quite cost-effective.

Write at the end:Despite the fierce competition in the SUV market and the overall rise of new energy vehicles, Chinese people obviously still need a good fuel SUV to choose from. Nowadays, the launch of the new Xingyue L Oriental Obsidian model is to meet the needs of such users. Through the introduction of the above product points, we can see that the new Xingyue L Dongfang Yao has become newer and better, so we have every reason to believe that it can continue to achieve good market sales performance.

Foxconn, suddenly!

Positive signals pop up!

Official website, Hon Hai Technology Group, reported today that Foxconn Technology Group, a subsidiary of Hon Hai Technology Group, signed the Strategic Cooperation Agreement between Henan Provincial Government and Foxconn Technology Group to Accelerate New Business Projects with the Henan Provincial Government. The signing ceremony was held in Zhengzhou. According to the agreement, the Henan provincial government supports Foxconn to build a new business headquarters in Zhengzhou. Foxconn will give full play to its core competitiveness in the field of smart manufacturing, as well as its advantages in technical reserves and industrial chain resources on a global scale, accelerate the landing of electric vehicles, energy storage batteries, digital health and robotics industries, focus on Henan, and build a global high-end manufacturing industrial chain and strategic emerging industry ecosystem.

According to the news of Reference News Network, Apple CEO Cook also went to Chinese mainland to reorganize the supply chain because the iPhone15 assembled by the Indian factory was not returned smoothly last year and was forced to cut prices sharply. After this lesson, Apple has transferred part of its production capacity back to Chinese mainland foundry this year, and BYD, Luxshare and other big manufacturers have joined the iPhone16 supply chain and become Apple’s latest OEM partners.

Recently, there are media reports that Foxconn, Apple’s main foundry, has also started to recruit workers in the peak season, and the current hourly wage of Foxconn factory in Zhengzhou Airport has been raised to 25 yuan. Although there is still a gap above 30 yuan in the period of the most shortage of manpower, it is relatively high in the same period. If the worker chooses the refund mode, he can get an extra bonus of 7500 yuan after 90 days in office.

Foxconn burst

Foxconn Technology Group, a subsidiary of Hon Hai Technology Group, signed the Strategic Cooperation Agreement between Henan Provincial Government and Foxconn Technology Group to Accelerate New Business Projects with the Henan Provincial Government. The signing ceremony was held in Zhengzhou.

According to the agreement, the Henan provincial government supports Foxconn to build a new business headquarters in Zhengzhou. Foxconn will give full play to its core competitiveness in the field of smart manufacturing, as well as its advantages in technical reserves and industrial chain resources on a global scale, accelerate the landing of electric vehicles, energy storage batteries, digital health and robotics industries, focus on Henan, and build a global high-end manufacturing industrial chain and strategic emerging industry ecosystem.

In recent years, Hon Hai Technology Group has actively developed 3+3 new businesses and launched a global layout. Foxconn’s new business headquarters in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, is a very important part of the group’s new business development in Chinese mainland.

This strategic cooperation focuses on the transformation of the Group’s 3+3 strategic industries, that is, three emerging industries, namely electric vehicles, digital health and robots, as well as three new technical fields, namely AI, semiconductors and new generation mobile communication, and actively cooperates in the fields of making development plans, core technology research, overall management of industrial investment, industrial landing, market development and customer development, gathering and training of key talents and professionals, and building industrial ecosystem, and makes joint efforts to build Foxconn’s new business headquarters into a new enterprise.

To this end, Foxconn will invest in the construction of a new business headquarters building in Zhengzhou to carry the functions of the new business headquarters. The first phase of the project is located in Zhengdong New District, with a construction area of about 700 hectares and a total investment of about 1 billion yuan. It will mainly build seven centers, including headquarters management center, R&D center and engineering center, strategic industrial development center, strategic industrial financial platform, industrial research institute and key talent center, marketing center and supply chain management center, which will provide industrial resources and technical support for Foxconn to implement the 3+3 strategy in mainland China.

Around the implementation of the "3+3" strategy, Foxconn will focus on the layout of electric vehicle trial production centers, solid-state batteries and other projects in Zhengzhou Airport Economic Comprehensive Experimental Zone in the near future. The electric vehicle trial production center project will plan to build a world-class electric vehicle demonstration production line, build a display platform and a world-class lighthouse factory to provide manufacturing services to well-known automobile brands at home and abroad based on advanced, pilot and pioneering development strategies, and lay a solid foundation for the subsequent mass production of electric vehicles. The goal is to build Zhengzhou Airport into the core production base of Foxconn electric vehicles. As for the solid-state battery project, we will closely follow the industrial development trend, give full play to Foxconn’s long-term accumulated technical advantages, adhere to the principle of "overall planning and step-by-step implementation", and lay out and develop the solid-state battery industry in Zhengzhou Airport, focusing on the development and manufacturing of solid electrolyte, semi-solid and all-solid batteries.

Apple production capacity has also returned.

According to the reference news, Taiwan Province’s "China Times News Network" reported on July 23rd that in recent years, Apple implemented the strategy of "removing risks" and diversifying its supply chain, and turned its orders to India, but the actual operation was obviously not smooth. Last year, the iPhone15 assembled by the Indian factory was returned, and it was forced to cut prices sharply. Apple CEO Cook also went to Chinese mainland to reorganize the supply chain. After this lesson, Apple has transferred part of its production capacity back to Chinese mainland foundry this year, and BYD, Luxshare and other big manufacturers have joined the iPhone16 supply chain and become Apple’s latest OEM partners.

Foxconn’s production base in Sri Perumbudur, India, began to produce iPhone15 series Apple phones in August 2023, with the goal of shortening the shipping time difference between India and Chinese mainland and synchronizing the supply chains of the two places. Bloomberg reported that Foxconn India factory followed Chinese mainland factory and supplied iPhone15 series mobile phones to the global market only a few weeks later, and the production cycles of the two places were closely connected, so India even threatened to increase its output value five times in the next five years.

However, in fact, the number of iPhone15 OEMs in Indian factories accounts for only 10%. Indian factories also need to import a large number of spare parts from Chinese mainland, which affects their quality and efficiency. There are still problems in the yield of iPhone OEM in India (only about 50%) and hygiene management (E.coli exceeding the standard). These two problems caused troubles when the products were exported to Europe and Chinese mainland, which affected the market sales. Therefore, Apple decided to reduce the price and promote sales. During his visit to China, Cook not only went to Apple retail stores to interact with consumers, but also met with companies such as BYD and Luxshare, saying that he would strengthen cooperation with enterprises in Chinese mainland.

According to the report, a well-known smartphone blogger recently pointed out on the social platform that the upcoming iPhone16 series is still mainly assembled in Chinese mainland, and some high-end flagship models have been transferred from Foxconn to BYD, which also proves that the mainland is still in the leading position in the OEM level of smartphones, and it is not so easy to transfer to other countries such as India immediately.

It is also reported that Foxconn, Apple’s main foundry, has also started to recruit workers in the peak season, and the current hourly wage of Foxconn factory in Zhengzhou Airport has been raised to 25 yuan. Although there is still a gap above 30 yuan in the period of the most shortage of manpower, it is relatively high in the same period. If the worker chooses the refund mode, he can get an extra bonus of 7500 yuan after 90 days in office. It is reported that in previous years, Foxconn’s highest recruitment price appeared in August, mainly to fully stock up the new iPhone, and employees can generally get a subsidy of 10,000 yuan.

From the perspective of Industrial Fulian, Minsheng Securities released a research report on July 22, saying that it gave Industrial Fulian a recommendation rating. The rating reasons mainly include: 1) Industrial Fulian: the world’s leading high-end intelligent manufacturer and technology service integration solution provider; 2) Cloud computing: the leading ODM server enterprise, the demand for AI servers is growing rapidly; 3) Communication and mobile network equipment: the demand for switches is growing rapidly, and the capital expenditure of operators is rising.

Extreme Yue 07 dies when it goes public? 200,000 buying a car is in a dilemma! Car enterprise innovation causes controversy

Dear riders, today let’s talk about a topic that has recently exploded in the circle: it’s officially listed! However, this new product, known as a "good car", doesn’t seem to have caused much waves in the market.

Let’s take a look at the background of this new player first. But, brothers, this market is no longer the era when gold was everywhere! Heroes from all walks of life gather together. That’s called a enter the dragon. It’s very lively!

Extreme Yue 07: Step on the head of a chicken or a duck?

Speaking of the positioning of the Extreme Yue 07, the official statement is "pure electric medium and large cars". Sounds tall, doesn’t it? But you old irons, we have to keep our eyes open and see clearly: this price segment is the most competitive battlefield!

, Extreme Krypton 001, Tesla, Zhiji L6 … These bosses are all eyeing this cake. Extreme Yue 07 wants to share a piece of this "fairy fight" market, I am afraid it will take some effort!

Some netizens quipped: "Do you want to step on the head of a chicken or a duck?" Indeed, in this price segment, it is not easy to stand out.

Technological innovation or anti-human design?

When it comes to innovation, Extreme Yue 07 has put a lot of effort into it. 800V high-voltage fast charging technology, dual Orin-X chips, ASD Apollo high-order intelligent driving system … Does it sound very powerful? But brothers, good things have to be used in the right place!

For example, the design of canceling the door handle is officially called "full of science and technology". But think about it, in winter, you stand by the car and shout, "Hi SIMO! Open the door! " What’s the picture? Isn’t this a toss-up

And the 35.6-inch "fish screen", which looks cool. But old irons, do you really need such a big screen when driving? Isn’t the reflection dazzling? Isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?

User Experience: Innovation or Self-satisfaction?

After all, whether a car is good or not depends on the user experience. Extreme Yue 07 can be said to be a broken heart in this respect, but the effect is good. …

Take a chestnut, the half-width steering wheel, which is said to have cost 20 million yuan to develop. But brothers, do you feel comfortable using this steering wheel when driving? What should I do if I get rid of it when I turn sharply? Isn’t this a life?

There is also the design of shifting gears through screen touch, which is troublesome to think about. Old irons, can you imagine looking down for the shift button on the screen when you are in a hurry? Isn’t this a sin for yourself?

Market Strategy: Differentiation or Self-isolation?

To be honest, Extreme Vietnam 07 does have some bright spots in some aspects. For example, the design is quite innovative and the dynamic performance is good. But brothers, what’s the use of good performance alone? The key is that someone has to buy it!

Some netizens spoke out and said, "Do you want to collect all the’ anti-human’ designs?" Although it is a bit heavy, it makes sense. Differentiated marketing is a good thing, but we must grasp the degree!

Future Outlook: Opportunities and Challenges Coexist

The future of the electric vehicle market is undoubtedly bright, but the competition will become more and more fierce.

Some insiders said: "The problem with Extreme Vietnam 07 is not that it is not good enough, but that it is’ good’ in the wrong place." This sentence is very reasonable. While pursuing innovation, we should also consider the actual needs of users!

Finally, I want to say that the Extreme Yue 07 is indeed a distinctive car, but whether it can become an explosion depends on the market reaction. Dear riders, do you think there’s a chance for Extreme Yue 07? Welcome to discuss in the comment area!

European Observation Room | Review of US-European Relations in 2023: An EU that does not want to be marginalized

[Editor’s note]

This article is the 44th column of "European Observation Room" jointly published by Shanghai European Society and The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) "Diplomatic Scholar". On December 1st, Shanghai International Studies University and the Shanghai European Society held a conference on "Europe-America Relations Trend Report 2023" and a seminar on "Europe-America Sino-Russian Relations under the Influence of Euro-American Transatlantic Relations", at which the Annual Report on Europe-America Relations Trend 2023 (hereinafter referred to as "Report") was released.

After the twists and turns from Obama to Biden, the relationship between Europe and the United States has taken an obvious turning point under the pressure of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. By 2023, the relationship between the two sides has entered a relatively stable year. Just as the president of the Shanghai European Society,Ding Chun, a professor at Fudan University, wrote a preface for the Report, saying that the differences between the United States and Europe have not disappeared under the relatively stable pattern of the United States dominating Europe, but they should not be exaggerated. However, in specific topics and national relations, the relationship between the United States and Europe shows different forms and characteristics, which also leaves room for China to develop specific relations and realize national interests. A more timely and detailed study of the United States and Europe is of greater significance at present. The "European Observatory" recently published some articles in the Report.

The year 2023 is an important year for the world to get rid of the shadow of the COVID-19 epidemic, and it is also a year in which the Ukrainian crisis presents a long-term and complicated situation. Judging from the political and diplomatic relations between the European Union and the United States, the two sides continued to maintain the institutionalized and normalized dialogue and coordination after Biden took office, but the inherent differences of interests began to re-emerge as the "honeymoon period" aimed at repairing the alliance gradually passed. At the same time, in the face of regional hot issues such as the Ukrainian crisis and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the United States and Europe share common positions, but there are also differences in attitudes. Consultations between the two sides on these hot issues are becoming more and more frequent.

1. Normalization and institutionalization of EU-US political and diplomatic interaction

In 2023, the political and diplomatic interaction between the EU and the United States includes not only the exchange of visits and consultations between European and American leaders, but also the meetings and exchanges between the two sides on multilateral occasions.

On March 10th, 2023, in Washington, USA, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen met with US President Biden. 澎湃 image data map

From a bilateral perspective, on March 10th, 2023, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen visited the United States and met with Biden. On October 20, 2023, President Michelle and Ursula von der Leyen of the European Council visited Washington, D.C., and jointly held the second US-EU summit with US President Biden, and issued a joint statement after the meeting. In addition, other senior officials of both sides also interact frequently. For example, in early April 2023, US Secretary of State Blinken and EU High Representative for Foreign Policy and Security Affairs borrell co-chaired the EU-U.S. Energy Council); in Brussels; At the end of May, several executive vice-presidents of the European Commission, together with officials such as Blinken, Minister of Commerce and Trade Representative, held the fourth ministerial meeting of the Euro-American Trade and Technology Council. On June 22, 2023, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Newland and Secretary-General of the European External Action Agency Stefano Sannino co-chaired the second dialogue between the United States and Europe on China and the fourth high-level consultation on the so-called "Indo-Pacific region".

At the multilateral level, the interaction between Europe and the United States mainly includes Biden’s trip to Europe in mid-July to attend the NATO summit in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, a Baltic country, and the EU, as a key partner of NATO, was also invited to attend the summit. The G-7 summit held in Hiroshima, Japan in May 2023 and the 18th summit of G-20 leaders held in New Delhi in September also became important platforms for Biden to communicate with Michelle and Ursula von der Leyen who were invited to attend the meeting. It can be said that these annual and institutionalized bilateral dialogues and multilateral meetings have become the main channels for normalized exchanges and consultations between the EU and the United States.

Second, the main topics and purposes of EU-US political and diplomatic interaction

Judging from the content involved, the political and diplomatic interaction between the EU and the United States in 2023 mainly revolves around the following two goals.

First of all,Maintain the consistency of the positions of the United States and Europe on major hot issues and ensure the continuity and stability of the US commitment.The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has entered the second year, and the stalemate in the war indicates that this conflict will develop in a long-term and complicated direction. This makes the EU particularly worried that the United States will waver in any form on the Ukrainian issue, otherwise it will lead the EU and its member States to "fight alone" in the action of "supporting Ukraine and curbing Russia". For example, in October 2023, the US Congress failed to approve a new round of aid to Ukraine in time due to domestic political struggles, which caused great concern in the EU. During the Third European Political Community Leaders’ Meeting, borrell made it clear that "Europe can certainly not replace the United States" on the question of whether Europe can fill the gap in American aid to Ukraine. Therefore, the commitment of continuous assistance to Ukraine has become the core content of every dialogue between the United States and Europe. For example, in the joint statement issued after the second US-EU summit, the two sides once again stressed that long-term political, financial, humanitarian and military support for Ukraine will not waver. The two sides stood shoulder to shoulder and demanded that Russia end the war and immediately, completely and unconditionally withdraw its troops and equipment from internationally recognized Ukrainian territory. Moreover, the two sides have also given a unified attitude towards other political solutions to the Ukrainian issue proposed by all parties in the international community, that is, any proposal to pursue comprehensive, just and lasting peace must be based on complete respect for Ukraine’s independence.

The Palestinian-Israeli conflict that broke out in October, like the Ukrainian issue, occurred in the surrounding areas of the EU, which once again posed a serious security threat to the EU. Therefore, the coordination of positions on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has become another important issue of regional security in the United States and Europe. In the above-mentioned joint statement, Europe and the United States not only recognized Israel’s right to self-defense, but also emphasized the premise of "conforming to international law, including humanitarian law" and the importance of protecting civilians and ensuring corresponding material supply channels. This joint statement can be regarded as the strengthening of position coordination between the United States and Europe, and the rectification of the "one-sided" attitude and "unreserved solidarity" towards Israel in the early stage of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Secondly,The United States and Europe hold consultations around the differences of interests, hoping to achieve the coordination of US and European policies and the compatibility of interests.In the second half of 2022, the Biden administration of the United States promulgated the Inflation Reduction Act, which plans to provide subsidies and tax incentives worth $369 billion for green technologies. These preferential measures will only be given to those related enterprises that have settled in the United States for manufacturing. This legislation immediately triggered strong dissatisfaction and worry in the European Union, fearing that the US bill would lead to a large outflow of domestic industrial capacity in Europe and cause a huge blow to the European economy. Therefore, the purpose of Ursula von der Leyen’s visit to the United States on March 10, 2023 was to negotiate with Biden on the Inflation Reduction Act, hoping to push the United States to make corresponding amendments and adjustments, but in vain.

In addition to the Inflation Reduction Act, the Biden administration of the United States has successively issued a series of policies and bills to activate the development of specific industries in the country, such as the Chip and Science Act (August 2022), the National Defense Production Act (June 2022), and the Infrastructure Investment and Employment Act (November 2021). Faced with these competitive modes, mainly through tax reduction or exemption, loans or subsidies, the European Union successively launched the Green Deal Industrial Plan, the Clean Zero Industry Act and the Key Raw Materials Act in 2023 as a response, relaxing the restrictions on subsidies provided by member States to specific industries, strengthening the requirements for the proportion of production capacity within the region, and improving the investment environment for green technology production. As the global governance issue of climate change is more and more closely related to the production capacity and social employment of various countries, the compatibility of industrial policies, economic legislation and economic stimulus measures is increasingly appearing in the political dialogue and consultation agenda between the United States and Europe. Similarly, such issues also dominated the second summit between the two major EU leaders and the Biden administration in October. However, the two sides failed to reach an agreement on the export tariff agreement for steel and aluminum.

Furthermore,The EU urgently needs to ensure that it will not be marginalized in the tripartite game between China, the United States and Europe.Ensure that US-European interaction takes precedence over Sino-US interaction. The joint statement issued by the two sides after the second EU-US summit clearly stated that they are using various bilateral and multilateral platforms to discuss their China policies. On the one hand, both sides are ready to build a constructive and stable relationship with China, recognizing the importance and necessity of strengthening China’s cooperation in the fields of climate change, biodiversity, debt sustainability, global public health governance, macroeconomic stability, etc., but on the other hand, both sides also emphasize the importance of risk reduction and diversification of the industrial chain and the necessity of protecting certain advanced technologies. In addition, the two sides have once again expressed their common position and principles on the Taiwan Strait issue, the situation in the South China Sea, Xinjiang, Tibet and Hong Kong, and the Ukrainian issue. From the time point of view, the interaction between the United States and Europe on China policy was earlier than the San Francisco meeting between the top leaders of China and the United States on November 15, 2023 and the China-EU Summit held in Beijing on December 7, 2023, achieving the goal of giving priority to coordination.

Third, the future prospect of EU-US political and diplomatic relations

Under the background of the persistent game between big countries, frequent and difficult regional conflicts, and increasingly urgent global governance issues, the political and diplomatic interaction between the EU and the United States is one of the main ways to maintain the stability and unity of transatlantic relations, expand their voice and influence in the international community, and maintain the dominance of Western alliance relations in international affairs. However, the seemingly solid alliance is also facing many challenges. Therefore, the political and diplomatic interaction between the United States and Europe is also a mirror that reflects the differences in positions and interests between the two sides. Despite the frequent political and diplomatic interactions between the EU and the United States since Biden took office recently, whether this seemingly solid alliance can continue to be consolidated and enhanced in the future depends on many uncertain factors in the era of chaos.

First of all,The future direction of US-European relations is closely related to the internal political game between the two sides.From the perspective of the United States, the presidential election in 2024 has already begun. The possibility of Trump’s comeback should not be underestimated. The foreign policy of the United States has been changing with the change of president. For example, the climate policy of the United States has undergone several rounds of general adjustment from the Clinton administration to the Biden administration. This undoubtedly affects the nerves of European allies on the other side of the Atlantic. From the perspective of the EU, under the complicated and special mechanism of the EU, there are different opinions between leaders of different institutions and between different member States on important issues such as US-Europe relations and regional conflicts, which affect the unity and consistency of the EU’s foreign policy. For example, the differences between Ursula von der Leyen, Michelle and borrell have been exposed quite openly for many times. Ursula von der Leyen’s overly pro-American stance and strong stance in the field of EU diplomacy have earned him the title of "American agent" inside and outside the EU. The year 2024 will be the election year for the European Parliament and the appointment year for three important figures, namely, the President of the European Commission, the President of the European Council and the High Representative for Foreign Policy and Security Affairs. Their views on Europe’s position and role in the international order and US-Europe relations will have an important impact on the future US-Europe relations.

Secondly,Whether the differences in economic and security interests between the United States and Europe are enlarged or narrowed will also profoundly affect the political and diplomatic relations between the two sides.From the perspective of economic interests, Germany, the economic engine of the European Union, is experiencing a difficult transition period of industrial structure and energy structure. A series of economic stimulus measures with obvious protectionism in the United States have seriously damaged the economic development prospects of Germany and even the whole European Union, which has further widened the differences of interests between the United States and Europe in the fields of economy, trade and investment and interfered with the synchronization of political and diplomatic actions between the United States and Europe. From the perspective of security interests, the long-term and complicated conflict between Russia and Ukraine may lead to different views in the west on how to end the conflict, which will also interfere with the consistency of the positions of both sides and the efficiency of their actions.

China Internet Godfather: Ma Yun’s entrepreneurial failure is the mother of success.

In 1995, when I visited the United States, I first came into contact with the Internet. After returning to China, I founded the website "Yellow Pages of China". In 1997, he joined the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation of China, and was responsible for developing its official website and the online trading market of China products.

  From 1997 to 1999, he joined the China International Electronic Commerce Center of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation to develop the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and the online China commodity trading market;


  In 1999, he officially resigned from public office, founded Alibaba website, and developed e-commerce applications, especially B2B business. At present, Alibaba is one of the largest B2B websites in the world. The success of Alibaba’s website has enabled Ma Yun to be invited to give lectures at many world-renowned institutions of higher learning, including Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University.


  In October 2000, he was named one of the 100 "future leaders" in the world in 2001 by the World Economic Forum.


  In 2001, the American Asian Business Association selected him as the "Business Leader of the Year" in 2001;


  In May 2002, he became the cover of Nikkei, Japan’s largest financial magazine. Nikkei magazine spoke highly of Alibaba’s contribution to Sino-Japanese trade. "Alibaba has reached a balance of payments and become the pride of the entire Internet world. Since China joined, the Japanese market has gradually warmed up, and a large number of Japanese companies have turned their attention to Alibaba and placed strong interest and hope on her.

  China’s "Father of the Internet"


  In a sense, the entrepreneurial history of entrepreneur Jack Ma is also the development history of China Internet.


  In April, 1995, Ma Yun, who had just turned 30, devoted himself enthusiastically to the rising Internet wave and founded the first real commercial website in China-China Yellow Pages. At that time, Yahoo, which was praised by the Internet industry as the "originator of mountains", was just founded less than a year ago; At that time, China mainland had not yet opened a dedicated internet access; At that time, Zhang Shuxin, who was famous in the industry because he founded the once-famous but short-lived "Yinghaiwei" company in the future, was rushing around the "yamen" in Beijing for government approval.


  A few years later, when people re-studied the history of Internet development in China, Ma Yun, an entrepreneur who had experienced many vicissitudes, won the laurel that should have belonged to him-China, the "father of the Internet". Strangely enough, it is quite different from the attitude of Chinese people. In the west, most people call Jack ma (the English name of Jack Ma) China’s "Mr.Internet" ("the father of the Internet").


  However, for Ma Yun, who has always been indifferent to fame and fortune and "doesn’t care about what others think of him, but only cares about how he sees the world", he doesn’t need to be happy or sad about whether he can "clear his name", because history has given him enough opportunities to prove it.


  At the end of 1997, Jack Ma, forced to part ways with China Yellow Pages, formally joined the China International Electronic Commerce Center (EDI) under the invitation of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. During this period, enthusiastic Ma Yun led his team to develop a series of sites, such as "Online China Commodity Exchange Market", "Online China Technology Export Fair", "China Merchants", "Online Canton Fair" and "China Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation", which were visited by leaders of Li Lanqing, Wu Yi and other countries. Among them, "China Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation" was the first real government site among the major ministries and commissions in China, and "Online China Commodity Exchange Market" was even praised as "the never-ending Canton Fair" by Comrade Shi Guangsheng, then Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation.


  In 1999, in the tide of the times when the whole world was crazy about ".COM fever", under the mainstream internet pattern of Yahoo, eBay and Amazon, the "alternative" Ma Yun shouted the slogan of "only catching crayfish", held high the banner of "being the redeemer of small and medium-sized enterprises" and opened up a new field-B2B of small and medium-sized enterprises. Since then, after Yahoo, eBay and Amazon, a brand-new "fourth mode"-Alibaba mode has appeared on the world Internet map. Before entrepreneur Ma Yun, China enterprises and entrepreneurs who were accustomed to the total westernization and large-scale import of European and American economic models had never been so proud on the big stage of the new world economy as they are today.


  Ma Yun was the first entrepreneur to develop e-commerce applications in China and stick to the Internet field. He and his team created many firsts in Internet commerce in China, determined to make the best site in the world for China people. He is the first entrepreneur in Chinese mainland to appear on the cover of Forbes, an authoritative international financial magazine. The famous World Economic Forum selected him as one of the top 100 "future leaders" in the world in 2001.


  Alibaba, founded by Ma Yun, is praised by domestic and foreign media, Silicon Valley and foreign venture capitalists as one of the five representatives of Internet business schools on a par with Yahoo, Amazon, eBay and AOL. Its establishment promoted the establishment of commercial credit in China, and created unlimited opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises in the fierce international competition, "so that there is no hard business in the world".


  Harvard University twice included his and Alibaba’s management practices as MBA cases. In the second MBA management case of Alibaba released in January 2002, Harvard quoted Ma Yun’s explanation of Alibaba’s core values. "Ma Yun believes that the value of Alibaba lies not in the number of views per day, but in whether it can bring value to customers." In order to show the recognition of Alibaba’s rapid development.


  Alibaba was twice selected as one of the best B2B websites in the world by Forbes, an authoritative financial magazine in the United States, and was repeatedly rated as the most popular B2B website in the world, an excellent business website in China, a hundred excellent websites in China and the best trading network in China by relevant institutions. Since the establishment of Alibaba, more than 400 famous news media in more than a dozen languages around the world have never stopped reporting on Alibaba, which has been praised as a "real world-class brand" by the media.


  Taobao, a personal auction website founded by Ma Yun, has successfully embarked on a unique road of localization in China, and has become the largest personal auction website in Asia since the first quarter of 2005.


  When people talk about the development of Internet in China for more than ten years, they have to mention the entrepreneur Jack Ma, and it is impossible to avoid the existence of this "ghost". He is an unshirkable pioneer and "godfather", but also a subversive and "rebel" full of the spirit of change.
