Today, the market chose a rapid adjustment in the afternoon, mainly due to internal technical requirements, followed by external factors. If we look at it for a long time, we can’t break through it. Appropriate adjustment will help all parties in the market to rebalance the position layout, but overall we still keep the bullish thinking unchanged.

  The geopolitical situation in Russia and Ukraine has warmed up, and funds have flowed into the bond market and the gold market to avoid risks. The international gold price has risen above 2,700 US dollars, and the US dollar exchange index has risen above 107. Apart from risk aversion, some speculative short money has been transferred to the current eye-catching virtual assets, and the Chinese and Hong Kong stock markets have become one of the markets where funds have withdrawn. The main index of A shares fell to a two-week low, while Hong Kong stocks fell to a two-month low.

  In terms of technical trends, the three major indexes of Hong Kong stocks, namely, Hang Seng Index, State-owned Enterprise Index and Hang Seng Technology Index, all fell below the 50-day moving average, while the 10-day moving average of Hang Seng Index and China National Index fell below the 50-day moving average, resulting in a death cross. Next week, it will fall below the 50-day moving average in 20 days, and there will be a double death cross, and bad technical signals will appear one after another.

  Next week, we will focus on the development of the geopolitical situation in the Middle East and Russia and Ukraine, which will affect the global capital flow and risk orientation. On the other hand, China will publish the industrial profit value, and the Federal Reserve will also publish the FOMC meeting minutes.

Bright window models are selling like crazy, accounting for as much as 43%! Analysis of VAN Series Vehicle Sales in August

Overall market:In August, the overall sales volume of the VAN Department exceeded 25,000 vehicles, of which the mid-plane accounted for nearly 60% of the sales volume, with the largest growth rate. In the first eight months, the overall sales volume of VAN has completed 93% of last year’s sales volume, exceeding 160,000 vehicles.

Market structure:In August, the sales of SAIC-GM-Wuling, Long-range New Energy Commercial Vehicle and Changan Kaicheng VAN series vehicles were in the top three; From January to August, the sales volume of SAIC-GM-Wuling exceeded 29,000, and the sales volume of long-range new energy commercial vehicle VAN series exceeded 27,000.

Vehicle pattern:In August, the sales volume of, series was in the top two, accounting for 27.58% and 14.55% respectively. From January to August, Wuling Yangguang and Remote Star Enjoy V series both exceeded 23,000 vehicles, Ruichi EC75 exceeded 14,000 vehicles, and Kairui series exceeded 10,000 vehicles.

Market highlightsSince the beginning of this year, the sales of bright window models have been bright, and the market share has increased from 14% in January to 43% in August, which is crazy in the market!

Regional distribution:In August, the sales volume of VAN cars in Shenzhen was 2,443, and that in Guangzhou was 1,391. From January to August, the number of VAN vehicles in Shenzhen exceeded 19,000, that in Guangzhou exceeded 10,000, and that in Dongguan and Foshan exceeded 5,000.

VAN department’s overall market showed positive growth, with a year-on-year growth for six consecutive months.

Looking back this year, except for the year-on-year decline in February due to the influence of the Spring Festival holiday, the sales volume of VAN Department increased in different degrees year-on-year, and the year-on-year growth rate in August reached 34.48%, which was much higher than that of the card department in the same period.

20240918171822154835284.jpg

However, it is worth noting that the year-on-year growth rate of the VAN Department has gradually narrowed since May. Tram resources believe that the reason is mainly related to the growth bottleneck encountered by VAN market segments.The penetration rate of new energy in the middle market, which occupies the largest share of the VAN market, has almost reached the ceiling.In recent months, the average permeability is 95%, and the market tends to be saturated, and the growth rate is weak, while the growth rate of micro and large areas is not strong, so it is difficult to offset this gap, which leads to such a situation.

Open-window models account for 43% in August, which may cause great changes in the pattern in the future.

Judging from this year’s data, the Ming-window models are really selling like crazy, and their sales volume has been rising continuously from May to August, even more so than the blind-window models, and the market share has increased from 14% in January to 43% in August. Ming-window models have sprung up in the market by virtue of their insurance advantages and the ability to stand on the shelf, which also makes the models with Ming-window versions more dominant, and relatively speaking, the sales increase is more obvious!

20240918171847330517730.jpg

Judging from the specific models, in the VAN market in August, only five models, namely Wuling Yangguang, Remote Star V Series, Ruichi EC75, Kairui finless porpoise series and Chang ‘an, sold more than 1,000 vehicles. From the data point of view, the models with bright windows played a great role in their sales.

Among them:

In the sales volume of Wuling Yangguang, the bright window model accounts for 73.51%. It is worth mentioning that Wuling Yangguang has won the first place in the monthly sales volume of VAN series cars for five consecutive months this year.

In the sales volume of remote Star V series, the bright window model accounts for 45.39%;

In the sales volume of Chang ‘an Ruixing EM80, the bright window model accounts for 75.54%.

However, Ruichi EC75 and Kairui finless porpoise series are relatively disadvantaged in the competition because there is no open window version. However, according to the tram resources,Kairui finless porpoise series will be released soon.In the latest 387 new car announcements, Changan Kaicheng declared.Chang’ an ruixing EM60II’s open-window passenger version. In addition, according to industry sources,Liuzhou wuling New Energy will also release the bright window model soon..

Tram Resources predicts that the VAN market structure will change greatly next year: from January to August this year, the sales volume of SAIC-GM-Wuling exceeded 29,000 units, of which bright windows accounted for 46.58%, and the sales volume of long-range new energy commercial vehicles exceeded 27,000 units, with bright windows accounting for 20%. With the release of open-window models of other enterprises, the competition pattern of models should change greatly.

At present, the pattern of vehicle models is stable, but there may be great changes in the future.

In August, the VAN market was still dominated by the middle market, followed by the big and micro markets. According to the data of the previous August, the sales volume of medium-sized noodles has exceeded 97,000, that of large-sized noodles has exceeded 44,000, and that of micro-sized noodles has exceeded 23,000.

20240919091817522915920.jpg

Specific to August:

In AugustZhongmian marketAmong them, SAIC-GM-Wuling, Remote New Energy Commercial Vehicle and Changan Kaicheng ranked in the top three, followed by Wuling Yangguang, Remote Star Enjoy V6E and Changan Ruixing EM80, with sales of 6,943, 3,091 and 1,304 respectively.

In AugustDamian marketAmong them, Ruichi Automobile, Long-range New Energy Commercial Vehicle and SAIC Chase ranked in the top three, followed by Ruichi EC75 and SAIC Chase, with sales of 1,717, 754 and 647 respectively.

In AugustMicroface marketAmong them, Changan Kaicheng, Xinyuan Automobile and Kairui New Energy ranked in the top three, followed by Changan, Xinyuan X30L EV and Kairui, with sales of 566, 557 and 339 respectively.

On the whole, the competition pattern of VAN market is relatively stable, which is mainly based on the middle surface, supplemented by the large surface and micro surface. However, in the VAN market, the middle surface has the highest permeability, followed by the large surface and then the micro surface, which shows that the pattern of the VAN market should change greatly in the future.

Does the big face have great potential in Shenzhen?

According to the data in August, the year-on-year growth rate of the large area is the largest, but it is still dominated by the middle area in the cities with sales volume of TOP5.Among them, only Shenzhen market occupies a dominant position. In August of this year, VAN models were mainly sold to Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Dongguan, Wuhan and Suzhou, among which the model with bright windows only accounted for 5.85% in Shenzhen market, while other cities had a high share. For example, the share of bright windows in Guangzhou is as high as 57.8%, the share of bright windows in Wuhan is also 55.95%, and the share of bright windows in Suzhou is close to 70%.

Tram resources believe that this is mainly due to the small proportion of open-window models in Shenzhen, while other areas mainly focus on open windows, and open windows are mainly in the middle. In view of this situation, Tram resources believe that this is actually beneficial to the Shenzhen market. Because the best-selling of Ming-window models is more of a "shortcut", the risks behind it can be imagined. If the time line is lengthened, the development of the open window model will inevitably have a further impact on insurance, and this model is likely to be rejected by insurance companies first.

Conclusion:Easy access to insurance and low premium are the key driving factors for the outbreak of Ming-window models. However, tram resources also remind all vehicle operators to strengthen the training of drivers’ awareness of safe driving, do a good job in monitoring the safe operation of vehicles, and prevent and control the occurrence of high accident rate from the root.

Big data of scientific and technological talents: Guangdong’s total amount is the first "going north" and there are many such talents.

  As the most critical factor of scientific and technological innovation, the essence of innovation-driven is talent-driven. What is the scale of scientific and technological talents in China and what changes have taken place in recent years? What are the characteristics of regional distribution?

  The Report on the Development of Scientific and Technological Talents in China 2020 (hereinafter referred to as the Report) compiled by the Ministry of Science and Technology shows that in 2019, the total number of R&D personnel nationwide was 7.129 million, 1.3 times that of 2015, and the number of R&D personnel reached a new high. Among R&D personnel, R&D researchers with intermediate or above titles or doctoral degrees have also continued to grow. In 2019, the full-time equivalent of R&D researchers in China was 2.11 million person-years, an increase of 244,000 person-years compared with 2018.

  From a global perspective, the full-time equivalent of R&D personnel in China has been ranked first in the world since 2013. However, the report also shows that there is still a gap between the investment intensity of R&D personnel in China and the proportion of researchers in R&D compared with the major economies in the world. The national R&D researchers account for only 43.9% of the full-time equivalent of R&D personnel, and the data of major economies in the world are above 50%, and the proportion of R&D researchers in South Korea is as high as 81.5%. According to the report, the overall quality and structure of China’s scientific and technological talents need to be further improved.

  Concentration in the eastern region

  At present, the full-time equivalent of R&D personnel is usually used as an index to compare the input of scientific and technological manpower in the world. R&D personnel refer to personnel engaged in basic research, applied research and experimental development within the unit. The full-time equivalent of R&D personnel refers to the sum of the workload of personnel engaged in R&D activities for more than 90% of the whole year and the workload converted by part-time personnel according to the actual working hours.

  Due to the influence of resource endowment, geographical conditions and policy orientation, the unbalanced development of regional innovation ability is prominent, which is also reflected in the regional distribution of scientific and technological talents.

  According to the report, China’s scientific and technological talents have accelerated to gather in the east and a few central cities in the midwest, mainly in the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and Bohai Rim economic circles, and the brain drain in underdeveloped areas in the northeast and west has intensified.

  Judging from the distribution of national R&D personnel in various regions in 2019, 65.6% of the national R&D personnel are concentrated in ten provinces and cities in the east; The proportion of R&D personnel in Northeast China is the least, accounting for 3.9% of the whole country. The proportion of R&D personnel in six central provinces and twelve western provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) is 17.8% and 12.7% respectively.

  Since 2015, the number of R&D personnel in the eastern region has increased from 2.468 million in that year to 3.149 million in 2019, with an average annual growth rate of 6.3%. The growth rate has slowed down, but the increase is still ahead of other regions. The growth rate of R&D personnel in the central provinces is relatively fast, with an average annual growth rate of 7.8%, which exceeds the national average. Overall, the R&D personnel in the western region show a steady growth trend. The number of R&D personnel in Northeast China has been declining for many years, from 191,000 person-years in 2015 to 187,000 person-years in 2019.

  Among the top ten provinces with full-time equivalent of R&D personnel, 10 provinces and cities in the east occupy the top 6 and 10 places, and the 7 th, 8 th and 9 th places are Henan, Hubei and Anhui in the middle.

  In 2019, Guangdong’s R&D personnel reached 803,000 person-years, ranking first in the country, surpassing the sum of the 12 western provinces and 4.3 times the total of the three northeastern provinces; Jiangsu and Zhejiang followed closely, with an average annual growth rate of 12.5% on the basis of a huge base, far exceeding the national average.

  It is worth noting that although the total number of R&D personnel in Beijing and Shanghai has not entered the top three, from the structural point of view, high-level talents account for a large number, with R&D researchers accounting for more than 50%. The full-time equivalent ratio of R&D researchers in Beijing is 66.2%, while that in Shanghai is 58.4%, while that in Guangdong and Jiangsu, which rank first and second, is 34.9 respectively.

  The number of employees in industrial enterprises accounts for 70%

  The distribution of executive departments of R&D personnel can reflect the distribution of subjects of scientific and technological innovation activities in China.

  According to the report, since 2015, the R&D personnel of regulated industrial enterprises, research and development institutions and institutions of higher learning have all increased, among which the average annual growth rate of regulated industrial enterprises, research and development institutions and institutions of higher learning has reached 4.55%, 2.57% and 12.35% respectively, and the increase rate of R&D personnel in institutions of higher learning is the most significant.

  The scientific and technological talents of industrial enterprises still have obvious advantages, which also echoes the Statistical Bulletin of National Science and Technology Investment in 2020 (hereinafter referred to as the Bulletin) published by the Bureau of Statistics in September.

  Zhang Qilong, statistician of the Department of Social Sciences and Literature of the National Bureau of Statistics, said that the role of enterprises in pulling was enhanced. In 2020, the R&D expenditure of enterprises was 1,867.38 billion yuan, an increase of 10.4% over the previous year; It accounted for 76.6% of the national R&D expenditure and contributed 77.9% to the national growth, up by 0.2 and 9.4 percentage points respectively over the previous year. Among them, the R&D expenditure of industrial enterprises above designated size was 1,527.13 billion yuan, up by 9.3% over the previous year.

  The report also shows that in 2019, the full-time equivalent of R&D personnel in regulated industrial enterprises was 3,151,800 person-years, 7.4 times and 5.6 times that of R&D institutions and institutions of higher learning, respectively, accounting for about 70% of the full-time equivalent of R&D personnel in the country. In 2015, the full-time equivalent of R&D personnel in regulated industrial enterprises was 6.9 times and 7.4 times that of R&D institutions and institutions of higher learning, respectively, indicating that enterprises are interested in R&D.

  Like the overall distribution of provinces, the R&D personnel of industrial enterprises are mainly concentrated in the eastern region. In 2019, the R&D personnel of industrial enterprises in the eastern region reached 2,175,400 person-years, accounting for 69% of the total R&D personnel of industrial enterprises in China.

  From the perspective of various regions, in 2019, the total number of R&D personnel in industrial enterprises in Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang ranked in the forefront, with obvious leading advantages and substantial growth; The number of R&D personnel in industrial enterprises in Heilongjiang, Jilin, Hainan, Tianjin and other places has decreased significantly compared with 2015; In recent years, R&D personnel in regulated industrial enterprises in Tibet, Jiangxi and other provinces have increased significantly.

  In addition, judging from the distribution of R&D personnel’s investment in various R&D activities, China has the most R&D personnel engaged in experimental development. In 2019, the full-time equivalent of personnel in this field was 3,793,700 person-years, accounting for 79.02% of the national R&D personnel. The full-time equivalent of R&D personnel engaged in applied research is 615,400 person-years, accounting for 12.82%; The full-time equivalent of R&D personnel engaged in basic research is 392,000 person-years, accounting for 8.17%.

  In 2019, in terms of basic research R&D personnel, basic research R&D personnel in the eastern region accounted for 6.62% of its total R&D personnel, 7.19% in the central region, 12.99% in the western region and 22.99% in the northeast region, accounting for the highest proportion. From the situation of each province, the R&D personnel engaged in experimental development in Jiangsu and Zhejiang account for 89.63% and 92.11% of the total R&D personnel respectively, reflecting that their R&D personnel are more concentrated in the industry.

Biden, here we go.

Original Luzi Lee Joon Renzhong Global Times

US President Biden began his campaign for the 2024 general election.

On January 5, local time, US President Biden began the first stop of his 2024 general election in Pennsylvania. Agence France-Presse said that Biden violently attacked former President Trump in the first campaign and compared it with the Nazis, saying that it posed a threat to American democracy.

Biden gave a speech in Pennsylvania on the 5th.

According to the report, the 81-year-old Democrat’s support rate at this stage of his term is the worst among modern presidents, and he either lags behind Trump or keeps pace with him in the polls. For months, Democrats have been calling on Biden’s campaign team to take action as people are increasingly worried about the US economy and Biden’s age.

Related reports:

The US media is worried that this year’s election will "repeat the same mistakes."

"One riot, two narratives." The Associated Press said on the 5th that as the United States entered the 2024 election year, both current President Biden and former President Trump used the riots on Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021 to issue political battle slogans to voters-according to the existing polls, they are most likely to become presidential candidates of both parties, and the confrontation in 2020 may be staged again. Today, three years ago, the scene of violence and chaos staged by the so-called "beacon of democracy" shocked the world. Now the country still seems to be deeply divided and hostile: threats against public officials are unprecedented; More than a dozen state capitol buildings have just experienced a "bomb threat", although it was a false alarm. The American Vox website says that the threat of violence has become a part of the American political system. Against this background, the American Institute of Foreign Affairs listed domestic terrorism and political violence as the biggest concern of the United States this year for the first time in its annual risk assessment report.

American think tanks list domestic terrorism and political violence as the primary risks.

On the 4th local time, the Institute of Foreign Affairs of the United States released the "Prevention Priority Survey in 2024", which assessed 30 ongoing conflicts and potential conflicts, and divided them into three levels according to the probability of occurrence and the degree of impact on American interests. Since the publication of this report 16 years ago, the American Institute of Foreign Affairs found for the first time that foreign policy experts are most worried about domestic terrorism and political violence caused by political polarization, "especially before and after the 2024 general election". This "conflict" is included in the first-level risk and marked as "high probability of occurrence and great impact". It is worth noting that the cover photo of this report features a group of extreme right-wingers, wearing face towels and holding the American flag, marching in Washington, D.C..

"Violent activities are quietly changing American politics and affecting the 2024 election." The Vox website in the United States recently published an article saying that the threat against public officials has risen to an "unprecedented" number throughout the United States, and as many as 83% of the respondents are worried about the risk of political violence in the United States. According to CNN, from 2021 to 2023, there were 9,600 cases, 7,500 cases and 7,300 cases of threats or "worrying remarks" directed against members of Congress (as of last November). Under Trump and Biden, 82 cases of threatening Republican officials and 80 cases of threatening Democrats faced federal charges. However, Republican members seem to be more vulnerable to attacks from both sides, and Trump supporters accuse some people of being "just nominal Republicans".

CNN said that the U.S. federal government has begun to consider what kind of situation it will face this year. Congressional Police Commissioner Manger said, "There are too many hatred and unkind remarks on social media and against elected officials." Several unexpected events in 2023 may be a harbinger, for example, the offices of two Republican congressmen received death threats in November. In the same month, the staff of several state election offices received suspicious letters.

According to Washington post, on January 3rd, the staff of parliament buildings in more than a dozen federal states received bomb threats, which led to the evacuation of some parliament buildings and disrupted government affairs. However, no explosives were found in the end, and the FBI quickly called these threats "pranks". Recently, a number of public officials have also received "false alarm" calls. A Georgia official believes that the purpose of this farce is to split Americans. "The perpetrators hope that the left will accuse the right wing and the right wing will accuse the left wing, further aggravating differences and normalizing potential violence."

Biden’s advertisement focuses on opposing "extremism"

Today marks the third anniversary of the riots on Capitol Hill. According to Agence France-Presse reported on the 5th, Biden’s first presidential campaign TV advertisement focused on opposing "extremism". "Everyone is asking, how can we maintain our democracy?" The 81-year-old democratic president said in the advertisement that something dangerous is happening in the United States, and "there has been an extremist movement that does not agree with our basic democratic beliefs." In the one-minute advertisement, Biden did not mention Trump’s name, but the picture repeatedly played the picture of the mob holding the slogan supporting Trump on January 6, 2021 and they erected the gallows in the Capitol. "The advertisement is a very real reminder that this election may determine the fate of American democracy." Biden campaign manager Rodriguez said in a statement.

According to the Associated Press, on the occasion of the 3rd anniversary of the riots on Capitol Hill, Trump will hold two campaign rallies in Iowa on the 6th, and Biden plans to visit nearby Fort Ji Gu, Pennsylvania the day before. Trump called January 6, 2021 "a beautiful day" and described those who were imprisoned for participating in the riots as "great patriots." Trump believes that the federal charges against him and the disqualification of the primary election in the presidential election party by Colorado and Maine show that Democrats are trying to weaken American values. Members of the Trump campaign team said that Biden and his allies posed a "real threat" to democracy.

Biden has repeatedly made a fuss about this topic. The Associated Press said that on January 6, 2022, he made a speech in the National Statue Hall of the Capitol, suggesting that Trump and his supporters "inserted a knife in the throat of the United States." On this day in 2023, Biden awarded 14 presidential medals in recognition of their work in protecting the Capitol during the riots.

"The ghost of January 6th haunted in 2024"

The Associated Press said that this debate about who is more harmful to the United States may reflect a deeper problem. "No matter what the reality is, when both sides say that the other is a threat to democracy, it is a sign that democracy is being weakened." Professor Daniel Ziblatt of Harvard University said.

"The ghost of January 6 haunted in 2024." The US "New Yorker" published an article on the 4th, saying that one of Biden’s challenges is to reawaken voters’ heartfelt anger over this riot. But there is a risk that Americans will realize that the general election in 2024 may be a repeat of the general election four years ago. The scene of Biden and Trump’s confrontation again emphasizes to people that the United States is still mired in division and hostility in that unpleasant year. Who really likes to see this situation? No country wants to enter a cycle of bad luck.

According to USA Today reported on the 5th, the poll data sent a warning signal for the situation after the 2024 general election. Trump’s supporters generally accept the former president’s allegations of fraud in the 2020 general election, and they are prepared to believe such allegations again in 2024, which laid the foundation for potential protests. If Trump loses the election, the situation may be even worse, and the country may repeat the same mistakes.
