CCTV News:In May, many departments launched a "combination boxing" of real estate policies, and introduced a series of optimization and adjustment policies, including the minimum down payment ratio to 15% and the cancellation of the lower limit of commercial loan interest rates. Many cities followed suit, including lowering the threshold, lowering the down payment, adjusting interest rates, and "swapping old for new" policies. Now, one month has passed, what is the effect? On June 23rd, we will pay attention to the recent changes in the real estate market. In Beijing, after visiting the new housing market, the reporter found that with the continuous release of the policy effect, the number of people looking at the house has increased significantly, and the amount of online and offline consultation has greatly increased.

In the sales office of a new house project in Beijing’s South Fourth Ring Road, the reporter saw that many prospective buyers were learning about the real estate situation from the sales staff. The reporter made a rough statistics at the scene. Within an hour, the sales office hall received more than 20 groups of people who came to see the house. Sales staff told reporters that compared with before, the number of people who came to see the house recently increased significantly.

According to the statistics of relevant institutions, influenced by a series of policy optimization and adjustment recently, the number of consultations and offline visits of many new housing projects in Beijing has increased significantly, and the number of visits of some projects has increased by 70% compared with the beginning of the year. At the same time, influenced by the optimization of the purchase restriction policy outside the Fifth Ring Road, Shunyi, Changping, Daxing, Fangshan, Tongzhou and other districts have now become the best areas in Beijing’s new housing market. According to the latest data released by the Beijing Municipal Commission of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, from May 17 to June 17 this year, 3,147 sets of new commercial residential buildings were signed online in Beijing.

Wang Ruimin, an associate researcher at the Institute of Market Economy of the State Council Development Research Center, said: "I think confidence in the market is a great boost, which means that most buyers who have some wait-and-see mood also actively enter the market, which will also drive other residents to have confidence, and the market transaction heat will increase and become active."

However, after visiting real estates in other regions, the reporter found that not all real estates have seen a substantial increase in the number of visits at present, and there is also a phenomenon of uneven hot and cold between different real estates. The real estates suitable for just-needed and improved needs are obviously more attractive to buyers. In addition, because Beijing’s current policy has only lowered the interest rate of provident fund loans, it has not followed up by lowering the down payment and lowering the interest rate of commercial loans. Therefore, the new housing market is more wait-and-see than the second-hand housing market, and many buyers are still waiting to see more policies.

Hangzhou: Second-hand housing transactions increased significantly.

On May 9, Hangzhou announced the cancellation of the purchase restriction. It has been more than a month since then. What is the effect of the policy? After the reporter visited, it was found that the volume and volume of local second-hand housing belts have increased in different ranges.

Not long ago, Zhejiang Branch of the People’s Bank of China issued the first home down payment and loan interest rate policy. The down payment ratio was not less than 15%, and the first home loan interest rate dropped to 3.25%, both of which were at historical lows, greatly boosting the just-needed willingness to buy a house. Xiao Zhang, who has worked in Hangzhou for four years, has been busy looking at houses in various intermediaries recently after learning that the local mortgage interest rate has dropped sharply.

Statistics from relevant intermediaries show that in May, 8254 sets of second-hand houses were sold in Hangzhou, up 8.3% year-on-year, and the turnover of second-hand houses exceeded 8000 sets for three consecutive months.

Shangguan Jian, dean of RealData Hangzhou Branch, said: "The full liberalization of purchase restrictions has significantly reduced the cost of buying a house, which has played a significant role in helping the whole market."

The reporter noted that the Hangzhou property market, stimulated by the New Deal, recently saw an increase of 20% and 30% in the daily average number of second-hand houses and the number of people who booked rooms compared with those before the New Deal.

He Chenyu, deputy director of the Real Estate Development Department of Hangzhou Housing Security and Real Estate Administration, said: "We have noticed that the leading indicators of the relevant markets are at a high level in the past two years. According to this, it is predicted that the policy follow-up will still have a certain lasting effect and the market will continue to pick up."　

Wuhan: Market confidence has been further enhanced.

Wuhan is the first city in China to announce the reduction of the lower limit of mortgage interest rate after the "New Deal of May 17th". In the past month, with the successive implementation of various real estate policies, the activity of Wuhan property market has been significantly improved, consumers’ expectations have improved, and market confidence has been further enhanced.

In a sales office in Hanyang District, Wuhan, Mr. Xiang is consulting about buying a house. With the new house purchase measures, the down payment threshold is lowered, and he can now replace the same down payment with a larger house.

At present, Wuhan’s provident fund loan interest rate, commercial loan interest rate and minimum down payment ratio are all at historical lows. Affected by this, in the past month, the average daily transaction volume of new houses in Wuhan was nearly 200 sets, which was nearly 20% higher than that in April and nearly 50% higher than that in the first four months of this year.

Compared with new houses, the activity of the second-hand housing market in Wuhan has also increased obviously, and the transaction volume of second-hand housing has exceeded that of new houses for three consecutive months. Many intermediaries told reporters that in the past, the intermediary commission was mostly borne by the buyer, but now it is borne by the seller or shared by both parties, which shows that the market is shifting from the seller’s market to the buyer’s market.

Experts said that with the release of the real estate policy effect, I believe that the follow-up will further boost the market.

Pan Shibing, president of Hubei Real Estate Association, said: "The policy has been implemented for more than a month, and I think the effect is quite obvious. The whole consumer’s expectation has improved, and the market confidence has obviously recovered, including the obvious increase in the whole sales volume. In the next step, the recovery of the entire real estate market will be more obvious, and the confidence of real estate enterprises will be more obvious. "

Shenzhen: The policy effect is still being released.

After the announcement of the "5.17 New Deal for the Property Market", Shenzhen also actively followed up and lowered the minimum down payment ratio and the lower interest rate limit of individual housing loans. The reporter recently visited and found that it has been more than a month since the release of the policy. The current activity of the Shenzhen property market has improved and the policy effect is being continuously released.

Recently, the reporter learned in a real estate agency store in the central area of Shenzhen that since the implementation of the New Deal, the transaction volume of second-hand houses in this store has increased by 52% month-on-month, and the enthusiasm of customers who just need to buy a house for the first time has been significantly improved, especially the number of customers who come to see the house for the first time through online appointment has increased by more than 20% compared with before, among which the growth of customers who just need to buy a house is particularly obvious.

In the interview, many buyers said that the landing of the new policy has reduced the down payment of buyers. Under the condition of limited budget, buyers now have more choices.

The reporter learned from the Shenzhen Real Estate Agency Association that after the introduction of the New Deal, the policy effect of low down payment and low interest rate continued to be released, which not only drove some customers who just needed to enter the market, but also improved the activity of improved housing transactions.

According to relevant statistics, from May 18th to June 17th, 2286 sets of new houses were sold in Shenzhen, up by 3.96% over the month before the New Deal. A total of 4136 sets of second-hand houses were sold, up 2.86% from the month before the New Deal.

　　Recently, Venezuela has welcomed a number of "benefits", the economic sanctions imposed by the United States on Venezuela have been loosened, the so-called "interim government" supported by the United States in an attempt to replace the current government has been dissolved, and European countries represented by Spain and France are easing their relations with Venezuela. In particular, Latin American countries, such as Colombia and Brazil, have resumed diplomatic relations with Venezuela. These Latin American countries advocate multilateral mechanisms to solve problems and oppose unilateral sanctions and crowding out Venezuela.

　　Local analysts pointed out that there are indications that since 2018, the United States has tried to use unilateral sanctions to force the Venezuelan government to yield and pressure European and Latin American countries to isolate Venezuela, which cannot succeed.

　　American companies resume importing Venezuelan oil.

　　Since 2018, the United States has imposed "extreme pressure" on the Venezuelan government for many years, with the aim of supporting the so-called "interim government" led by Venezuelan opposition leader Guaido. Since the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine on February 24 last year, Europe and the United States have imposed sanctions on Russian crude oil exports, resulting in tight international crude oil supply and rising prices for a long time, which has also brought obvious negative effects to domestic oil prices in the United States. In order to stabilize domestic oil prices, the United States began to take the initiative to contact Venezuela, a major oil producer, to seek the possibility of importing oil from Venezuela.

　　On November 26, 2022, the US Treasury Department announced that in the next six months, Chevron will be allowed to resume its oil exploration business in Venezuela and allow it to import oil from Venezuela. As a result, two oil tankers sent by Chevron arrived at Lake Maracaibo, the main oil and gas producing area of Venezuela, on December 29th last year and January 3rd this year respectively. In addition to bringing naphtha used to dilute heavy crude oil to the joint venture between Chevron and Venezuela’s national oil company, it is estimated that 500,000 barrels of crude oil will be transported to Chevron’s refinery in the Gulf of Mexico. This will be the first batch of crude oil shipped from Venezuela to the United States in four years.

△ Chevron oil tanker sent to Venezuela

　　Francesco Monaldi, director of Latin American energy project of Baker School of Public Policy, Rice University, said that the crude oil production capacity of Chevron’s joint venture in Venezuela was 50,000 barrels per day at the end of November last year, and it is expected to increase to 800,000 to 100,000 barrels per day in the following months. If there is enough investment, the production capacity of Chevron is expected to increase to 200,000 to 220,000 barrels per day in the next two years.

　　Under the "favorable" factors such as Chevron’s resumption of operation in Venezuela, the Venezuelan Petrochemical Chamber of Commerce said that by the end of 2023, Venezuela could increase its crude oil production from the current 700,000 barrels per day to 1 million barrels per day, which would greatly increase the country’s oil export revenue. By the end of 2023, the export income including oil, gold and other minerals is expected to reach about 20 billion US dollars, exceeding the estimated income of 15 billion US dollars in 2022, which will help improve Venezuela’s balance of payments.

　　The process of multi-party game is difficult and tortuous.

　　The recent relaxation of sanctions against Venezuela by the United States is the result of a multi-party game, and its process is difficult and tortuous. Shortly after the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the United States completely banned the import of Russian oil, resulting in a gap of 600,000 to 700,000 barrels per day. In order to fill the gap, the US government sent a high-level delegation to Venezuela for talks with the Venezuelan government on March 5 last year. In the negotiations, US officials mentioned that Venezuela should export oil directly to the United States in exchange for relaxing US oil sanctions against Venezuela, while trying to determine whether Maduro’s government is prepared to keep a distance from its ally Russia in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Plasencia, Venezuela’s foreign minister, said shortly afterwards that Venezuela was ready to sell oil to the United States again, but at the same time, it remained "loyal" to Russia, which remained an ally.

　　Since the end of March last year, Biden’s government has released 180 million barrels of reserve crude oil to the domestic market in the United States. The urgency of the United States to resume importing oil from Venezuela to stabilize oil prices has declined in a short period of time, and the negotiations between the United States and Venezuela have come to a standstill.

　　After temporarily shelving the option of Venezuela, the US government once tried to persuade Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other oil-producing countries in the Middle East to increase oil production. Last July, Biden visited Saudi Arabia. At the beginning of October 2022, "OPEC+"countries including Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates decided to reduce crude oil production by 2 million barrels per day from November until the end of 2022. Biden stated in this regard that the decision of "OPEC+"prompted the United States to reconsider the issue of oil import substitutes, but the United States has many options. The US media subsequently reported that Biden’s administration is considering the option of relaxing sanctions against Venezuela, so that American oil companies can restart oil production activities in Venezuela.

△ "OPEC+"countries hold a meeting

　　At the end of November last year, Biden’s government allowed Chevron to resume its oil exploration and export business in Venezuela, and Chevron quickly sent tankers to Venezuela to transport crude oil. According to American media reports, Chevron was able to quickly resume importing crude oil after obtaining the license, thanks to the company’s preparations as early as several months ago.

　　The analysis pointed out that a series of chain reactions triggered by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in the world forced the United States to consider loosening sanctions against the Committee. The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace recently wrote in official website that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has continuously strengthened the right to speak in the negotiations between Maduro’s government and the United States. As the United States demands to cut off Russian oil and gas exports and seek alternatives for Russian oil imports, the United States is giving up its "threatening language" against Venezuela in previous years and releasing more "goodwill" instead. Now Venezuela is becoming a "valuable partner" of the United States.

　　The "interim president" was dismissed because of infighting in the opposition.

　　Just as the United States relaxed its sanctions against Venezuela, both the "interim government" and the "interim president" Guaido supported by the United States had problems: the former was dissolved and the latter was dismissed. In the vote on December 30 last year, the Venezuelan opposition passed the decision to dissolve the so-called "interim government" and dismissed Guaido, the "interim president". Of the four main opposition parties in Venezuela, three supported the above decision.

　　Looking back at history, in May 2018, the current president of Venezuela, Maduro, won re-election in the presidential election, but the United States and some western countries did not recognize the election results and supported Guaido, who was elected as the chairman of Venezuela’s parliament in January 2019, as an "interim president". In fact, Guaido has never actually been in power for a day.

　　After the dissolution of the "interim government", the National Security Council of the United States indicated that the United States would continue to support the "interim government" in whatever form it existed. The State Council spokesman Price said on January 3 that although the "interim government" has been dissolved, the United States still "does not recognize" Maduro’s government and will continue to maintain the existing sanctions.

　　Compared with the tough stance of the United States, Venezuelan President Maduro said on January 1 this year that Venezuela is "fully prepared to take measures to normalize relations with the United States". Maduro criticized the US government’s extreme pressure on Venezuela. He said that the United States has taken measures such as suppressing Venezuela, threatening invasion and imposing extreme sanctions, hoping to force Venezuela to split internally and "arrange a president" for Venezuela from the outside, but these measures have been defeated.

　　However, although the Venezuelan government firmly opposed the "interim government" supported by the United States, it did not close the communication channels with the "interim government", especially on November 26 last year, the Venezuelan government and the opposition made an important breakthrough in negotiations for the first time in many years. The two sides agreed to implement a humanitarian rescue plan worth about $3 billion and continue the dialogue in Mexico. This further strengthened the initiative of the Maduro government.

△ Venezuelan President Maduro

　　Although the United States does not admit its failure in supporting the opposition, many mainstream media have quite consistent judgments on this. The New York Times wrote that Guaido’s dismissal was a major blow to the US government, which has been supporting Guaido since 2019. This clearly shows that the opposition has lost confidence in the goal of "replacing the Maduro government" led by Guaido. German news TV issued a document saying that Guaido’s dismissal means that "the attempt to support an influential opposition to compete with the Maduro government has failed".

　　The Sao Paulo newspaper, which has the largest circulation in Brazil, pointed out that although Biden’s government is unwilling to "recognize" Maduro’s government, it has shown that the US policy toward Venezuela has obvious pragmatism from sending a high-level delegation to visit Venezuela in March last year to allowing Chevron to import Venezuelan crude oil.

　　Some European countries began to ease relations with Venezuela.

　　Over the past few years, many European countries have expressed their support for the "interim government" and adopted measures to sanction the Venezuelan government, while some Latin American countries have also "selected side stations" and collectively put pressure on the Maduro government.

　　Today, these situations are changing.

　　In Europe, European countries have realized the importance of Venezuela since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine led to the energy supply crisis in Europe. French President Macron called for the diversification of European oil imports and the return of Venezuela to the international oil market at the G7 summit last July. Last November, at the 27th United Nations Climate Change Conference, Macron met with Maduro, and Macron expressed his willingness to start bilateral cooperation beneficial to the whole region. Recently, the Spanish government appointed a new ambassador to Venezuela to restore diplomatic relations between the two countries at the ambassadorial level in order to coordinate the import of oil from Venezuela by the country’s oil companies.

△ European cruise ships arrived in Venezuela for the first time in 15 years.

　　In fact, European energy companies have started importing Venezuelan crude oil earlier. In the middle of last year, Italy’s Eni Group and Spain’s Lepsol Company imported a total of 3.6 million barrels of crude oil from Venezuela, which was the first time that Europe imported Venezuelan oil in two years. Since then, Venezuela has suspended the export of oil to these two European companies for three months because of dissatisfaction with the settlement method that exporting oil can only be used to pay off debts. Since November, Venezuela has resumed oil sales to these two companies. In that month, 2 million barrels of crude oil were exported to Europe, most of which were received by Lepsol’s Bilbao Refinery. The refinery uses heavy crude oil to produce a large amount of petroleum coke (an important raw material for cement, graphite, steelmaking and other industries), and the petroleum coke production capacity of the refinery can meet the demand of European market by about 5%.

　　Jon Imas, president of Lepsol Company, said that importing Venezuelan oil is not only beneficial to the company itself, but also beneficial to Europe as a whole. In the case that Europe is short of Russian oil due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Venezuela provides another option to supply Europe.

　　Just as some European countries eased relations with Venezuela and increased imports of Venezuelan oil. On January 3, a cruise ship from Europe docked in Venezuela, and nearly 500 passengers from France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland and Italy visited Venezuela for the first time in 15 years.

　　Latin American countries move closer to Venezuela

　　At the level of Latin American countries, cracks have appeared within the Lima Group. The Lima Group was founded in Lima, Peru in 2017 by 12 Latin American countries including Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru and Mexico, with the aim of trying to solve the Venezuelan crisis by peaceful means. At the beginning of the establishment of Lima Group, many member countries boycotted the current Venezuelan government and supported the United States’ practice of excluding Venezuela from attending the Summit of the Americas.

△ Colombian President petro and Venezuelan President Maduro met for the first time in three years

　　Now, the situation has changed. Peru recognized the Maduro government in 2021, while Argentina and Mexico announced their withdrawal from the Lima Group in 2021. On the other hand, after the new President petro took office, Colombian neighbors quickly resumed diplomatic relations with Venezuela at the ambassadorial level, lifted the border blockade, and achieved the first meeting between the two presidents in three years. In Brazil, the largest country in Latin America, Lula officially became president on January 1, which not only ordered the lifting of the ban on the entry of President Maduro into Brazil, but also restored diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level between the two countries.

"Love Excellence" Yao Chen and Chen rushed to the Chinese clothes

　　　　　　　 Directed by Chinese-American director Alexi Tan and starring Yao Chen, Liu Ye and Chen Chong, the fashion love movie "Love Outstanding" will soon be released to meet the general audience. Apart from the dazzling star lineup, the presence of international famous brands such as Hermes, Versace, Cartier and Diesel has made the film more pure in fashion among many domestic fashion movies.

International brands strive to blow "Chinese style"

　　　　　　　 Whether the four major brands get together in the film Love Outstanding, or the two leading actors Yao Chen and Liu Ye in the film become the first spokespersons of world-renowned brands in China respectively, the trend of increasingly close relationship between international brands and China’s cultural industry is highlighted. Selecting the most popular and appealing first-line stars and excellent film and television works to work together is not only an effective way for international brands to actively explore the China market and improve brand awareness, but also a good way for China actors or film and television works to stand on the world stage and integrate with the international mainstream.

　　　　　　　 The most intuitive change is that when we walk into the makeup area of department stores, the blonde western faces have been quietly replaced by the well-known China actresses. At that time, those English brands that sound a little awkward and unfamiliar seem to have become a lot more friendly. Even if we don’t know which products we are suitable for, people can know a little about the brand style by looking at the product endorsements. Through these endorsements, foreign advertising companies or film and television production companies have learned more about China stars. Through the penetration of these brands, they will be subtly influenced in the future global strategy formulation, and more China actors and film and television works will have the opportunity to stand on the world stage.

Yao Chen logo smiles into a world business card

　　　　　　　 More and more pictures of fashion street shooting, magazine cover blockbusters and attending brand activities have witnessed the changes of Yao Chen in the past year or two — — Her increasingly international fashion temperament comes from the popularity and praise accumulated by excellent film and television works and the self-confidence after being recognized by more and more world-renowned brands. In June, 2010, Yao Chen signed a contract with an internationally renowned high-end cosmetic brand, becoming the first female spokesperson of the brand in China. "Her true and natural personality, energetic smile, conquered everyone. These are from the heart and cannot be concealed. This is also the idea that biotherm wants to express, which is true, modern and energetic. We hope that through cooperation with Yao Chen, we can be closer to customers in China and provide better life enjoyment for modern women. " Lamy, the general manager of the brand in China, expressed his attitude, and Yao Chen’s iconic BigSmile left a deep impression on the French head office.

Ministry of Commerce: It is normal for data fluctuation to attract foreign investment.

Since last year, there have been some fluctuations in China’s data on attracting foreign investment. At the press conference on April 19th, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce said that from the overall situation of global transnational investment and the situation of various economies, fluctuations in data on attracting foreign investment are normal.

In the first quarter of this year, the scale of attracting foreign investment in China exceeded 300 billion yuan. In the same period last year, the scale of attracting foreign investment in China reached the highest level in the history of quarterly investment, and it declined in the first quarter of this year. There are indeed factors affected by the high base. In addition, in the first quarter of this year, the number of newly established foreign-funded enterprises in China reached 12,000, a year-on-year increase of 20.7%, continuing the trend of rapid growth of newly established enterprises since last year.

Ji Xiaofeng, head of the Foreign Investment Management Department of the Ministry of Commerce, said that there is usually a process for foreign investment from project signing, company registration to completion and production. In this process, foreign capital will continue to be invested with the progress of project construction, so data fluctuations are also common.

Ministry of Commerce: China’s investment structure continued to be optimized in the first quarter of this year.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, in the first quarter of this year, the actual use of foreign capital in China’s manufacturing industry reached 81.06 billion yuan, of which the investment in high-tech manufacturing industry reached 37.76 billion yuan, accounting for 2.3 and 2.2 percentage points higher than that in the same period of last year, and the investment in medical equipment manufacturing industry increased by 169.7% year-on-year, which fully demonstrated the continuous optimization of China’s investment structure.

At the same time, the person in charge also said that a comprehensive analysis of the situation of attracting foreign investment in China should not only look at the changes in the scale of attracting foreign investment, but also see the optimization of the structure of attracting foreign investment and its future development prospects.

Ministry of Commerce: China deepens national economic and trade cooperation with the Belt and Road Initiative.

At the press conference, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce introduced that since the beginning of this year, China has continuously deepened its economic and trade cooperation with the "Belt and Road" countries and achieved some new progress and new results.

In the first quarter, the import and export of goods between China and co-construction countries exceeded 4.8 trillion yuan, up 5.5%, 0.5 percentage points higher than the overall growth rate of foreign trade, accounting for 47.4% of the total import and export.

From the perspective of export commodities, there are high-tech products such as electronic information, instruments and equipment manufacturing, which are closely related to the production of enterprises, as well as consumer goods such as household appliances and clothing that meet the needs of people’s livelihood.

From the perspective of imported goods, China and the co-construction countries actively share the opportunity of China’s big market. In the first quarter, the energy and mineral products, integrated circuits, auto parts and other industrial products imported from the co-construction countries continued to grow.

In the first quarter, China’s non-financial direct investment in co-construction countries reached 54.32 billion yuan, up 12%, accounting for 22.4% of the total foreign investment in the same period. From the perspective of investment, investment in RCEP member countries increased by 33.5%, and investment in Central and Eastern European countries increased by 41.3%, both of which were significantly higher than the overall growth rate.

Yang Tao, director of the Comprehensive Department of the Ministry of Commerce, said that in terms of exhibition platform, the just-concluded 4th Consumer Expo and the first phase of the 135th Canton Fair attracted a large number of merchants from countries with the Belt and Road Initiative, and the number of buyers from countries with the Belt and Road Initiative participating in the Canton Fair increased by 46%. In the import sector of the Canton Fair, the proportion of exhibitors from countries with the Belt and Road Initiative reached 64%.

Ministry of Commerce: I am confident to achieve the goal of "stable quality and quantity increase" in foreign trade this year.

At the press conference, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce introduced that looking forward to the next stage of foreign trade situation, there are both opportunities and challenges in general. The Ministry of Commerce is working with all localities and departments to study and launch a series of targeted, pragmatic and effective measures to stabilize foreign trade.

The opportunity is that the domestic economy is picking up and the foundation is constantly consolidating. In the first quarter, the national economy grew by 5.3%, and the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 6.1%, which provided a solid foundation for China to consolidate its foreign trade base.

The company’s expectations continue to improve and its confidence continues to increase. In March, the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) of China’s manufacturing industry reached 50.8%, returning to the expansion range. Recently, a questionnaire survey was conducted among more than 20,000 exhibitors in the Canton Fair. The survey results show that the proportion of enterprises whose orders have increased or remained flat has reached 81.5%, an increase of 16.8 percentage points over the previous session. Enterprises are relatively optimistic about the order situation and are more enthusiastic about exploring the international market.

Key industries have stabilized and improved, and their motivation has been continuously enhanced. After a two-year down cycle, the trade of main products in the electronic information industry is gradually recovering. In the first quarter, China’s integrated circuits increased by 24.2%, imports increased by 14.3%, and exports of computers and parts increased by 8.6%, which also showed the ability of supporting and integrating China’s industries.

From the perspective of challenges, the growth of external demand is expected to slow down. Recently, the WTO released a global trade outlook and statistical report, in which the growth rate of goods trade in 2024 was lowered to 2.6%, which was 0.7 percentage points lower than the forecast value in October last year. In addition, the risk of geopolitical conflict has increased, the momentum of trade protectionism has risen, and the interference and difficulty faced by enterprises in opening up markets have increased.

Guo Tingting, Vice Minister of Commerce, said that at present, the Ministry of Commerce, together with various localities and departments, is working hard to study and launch a series of targeted, pragmatic and effective measures to stabilize foreign trade to help foreign trade enterprises enhance their motivation and open up markets. The Ministry of Commerce is confident and capable of achieving the goal of "stable quality and quantity increase" in foreign trade this year.

Ten departments, including the Ministry of Commerce, jointly issued the Measures to further support overseas institutions to invest in domestic science and technology enterprises.

The reporter learned from the Ministry of Commerce on April 19th that the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Development and Reform Commission and other ten departments have recently jointly issued policies and measures to further support overseas institutions to invest in domestic science and technology enterprises.

Encourage overseas institutions to cooperate with relevant domestic institutions to set up relevant funds, and support technology-based enterprises invested by overseas institutions to deepen industrial chain cooperation with relevant countries. According to the tax treaties signed between China and relevant countries, qualified overseas institutions can enjoy preferential income tax when investing in listed companies in China.

Ministry of Commerce: Three areas of innovation are full of vitality and have sustainable growth potential.

On April 19th, the State Council Press Office held a press conference, and the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce introduced that in recent years, China’s export structure has been optimized and upgraded. In the first quarter of this year, three areas were full of innovation vitality and had potential for sustained growth: first, the export base of complete sets of equipment was solid; second, the export demand of smart products increased; and third, low-carbon energy-saving and environmental protection products were very popular.

Ministry of Commerce: New export growth points will continue to emerge.

Recently, we obtained the latest spy photos of the M8, which indicates that this new model is expected to meet the public at the end of this year.

As can be seen from the spy photos, this camouflage car is a 6-seat version, which is different from the previously guessed 5-seat version M9. Although the number of seats has changed, the overall shape and outline are highly similar to the current M9, including the body size, and there is no significant difference. The comparative analysis shows that the front face design of the new car is closer to the boundary M7, which is embodied in the straighter front cabin cover shape and the headlight edge shape similar to the boundary M7.

In addition, the vehicle in the spy photos adopts a short front suspension design, which is conducive to maximizing the utilization of internal space in a slightly reduced body size. In terms of details, the new car seems to have cancelled the roof rack and the roof lidar.

According to the spy photos that flowed out before, it is expected that the M8 will be equipped with taillights of the same style as the M9, and equipped with the same lamp programming function. The exposure of this information has undoubtedly increased the market’s expectation and curiosity about M8.

　　On Tuesday (April 2), Eastern Time, the second quarter of the US stock market seemed to have a bad start. The three major indexes of the US stock market fell across the board overnight. They all fell more than 1% in intraday trading, and the Dow fell nearly 400 points to a two-week low, the biggest daily decline in four weeks with S&P. The expectation of interest rate cuts in the first half of the year was frustrated, and the yield of US bonds rose again, which suppressed the market to some extent. However, the performance of gold is still strong and continues to refresh.

　　At the close, the S&P 500 index fell 0.72% to 5205.81 points; The Dow Jones index fell 1.00% to 39,170.24 points; The Nasdaq index fell 0.95% to 16,240.45.

　　In terms of US bond yield, the 10-year US bond yield once rushed above 4.4% to close at 4.36%, and the 2-year US bond yield, which is most sensitive to the Fed’s policy interest rate, closed at 4.70%.

　　Since Powell reiterated last week that he was in no hurry to cut interest rates, the market sentiment has not been high. And overnight, internal officials of the Federal Reserve once again consolidated this statement, and market sentiment was once again hit.

　　San Francisco Fed President Daley said that three interest rate cuts this year are a baseline forecast and can be increased or decreased if necessary. The former "big hawk" and Cleveland Fed President Meister also expect to cut interest rates three times this year, and it is not excluded to cut interest rates in June, and the reasons for cutting interest rates in May are insufficient; Both warned of the risk of cutting interest rates prematurely.

　　It is worth noting that the economic data of the United States even triggered speculation about whether the Fed will cut interest rates three times this year. The data released on Tuesday showed that the number of job vacancies in the United States has not changed much compared with the previous value, or it indicates that the labor demand is still stable at a high level in the high interest rate environment.

　　LPL Financial analysts pointed out that although the Fed does expect to cut interest rates sometime this year, the argument that interest rates will be higher for a longer period of time is playing a role again, so this worries the market. He also explained from another angle why the market will pull back. A healthy market really needs to pull back. The current trend is not necessarily a bad thing. The S&P 500 index has still risen by about 9% so far this year. Therefore, the market outlook still needs to keep a close eye on the US economic data.

　　On the enterprise side, Tesla released the latest car delivery data, which was not as good as the market expectation. The share price fell by 4.9% overnight, and it has fallen by nearly one-third during the year, and its market value has been erased by 260 billion US dollars. The data shows that Tesla’s delivery volume in the first quarter decreased by 8.5% year-on-year to about 386,800 vehicles, which was far lower than the analyst’s previous average expectation of 449,080 vehicles, which was the biggest worse than expected in history. During the same period, about 433,400 vehicles were produced, which was also lower than expected.

　　This is also the first time that Tesla has fallen below the 400,000-vehicle mark since the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of over 8.5% compared with the delivery of 422,875 vehicles in the first quarter of last year, recording the first year-on-year decline since the second quarter of 2020.

　　In the first quarter, Tesla faced a double blow of reduced demand for electric vehicles and high interest rates. Analysts had previously lowered their expectations for Tesla’s delivery. Some analysts pointed out that Tesla would experience the first year-on-year sales decline since the early days of the epidemic.

　　In addition, Tesla also faced many obstacles in the first quarter, such as the interruption of the supply of spare parts in the Red Sea caused by the attack of Houthi militia and the temporary suspension of production in the German factory. Although the next generation model is the key to growth, the production of this model is not expected to start until late next year, which means that the company may face the risk of slowing down growth before this.

　　The US dollar index rose first and then fell, once standing above the 105 mark in intraday trading, and once fell to an intraday low of 104.67 during the US session, then rebounded and finally closed down by 0.19% to 104.81.

　　Gold futures for June delivery in the New York Mercantile Exchange closed up 1.09% at $2,281.80 an ounce, a record closing high, having risen to $2,297.70 an ounce in intraday trading. May silver futures closed up 3.39% at $25.923 an ounce.

　　Geopolitical risks have enhanced the attractiveness of gold, while traders have avoided the shadow cast by the strong economic data of the United States on the prospect of the Fed raising interest rates.

　　Oil prices continue to rise due to supply concerns. WTI crude oil rushed above $85 in intraday trading, rising more than 2% in the day, and continued to hit a new high since October last year, finally closing up 1.76% to $85.47/barrel; Brent crude oil also hit a new high since October last year, and finally closed up 2.12% to $89.27/barrel.

　　[Highlights]

　　The Fed reiterated that it is not in a hurry to cut interest rates, but it is still possible to start in June?

　　San Francisco Fed President Daley said that three interest rate cuts this year are a baseline forecast and can be increased or decreased if necessary. Regardless of changing the inflation target, the continuous rise in oil prices will become a problem; The former "Great Hawk" and Cleveland Fed President Meister also expect to cut interest rates three times this year, and it is not excluded to cut interest rates in June, and the reasons for cutting interest rates in May are insufficient; Both warned of the risk of cutting interest rates prematurely.

　　Job vacancies in the United States in February were slightly higher than expected

　　The voluntary turnover rate is the lowest since 2020, and the number of layoffs is the highest in nearly a year. The number of JOLTS vacancies in the United States in February was 8.756 million, slightly better than expected, and the value was revised down to 8.748 million before January. The voluntary turnover rate in February was 2.2%, the lowest level since 2020. Due to the increase in layoffs in the leisure and hotel industries, the number of layoffs has risen to the highest level in the past year.

　　Tesla’s quarterly delivery dropped for the first time in nearly four years, and its market value has evaporated by $260 billion in the year.

　　On Tuesday, Tesla Corporation, an American electric vehicle manufacturer, released a report on automobile production and delivery in the first quarter of 2024. According to the specific data, Tesla delivered a total of 386,810 vehicles in the first three months of this year, far below the analyst’s previous average expectation of 449,080 vehicles, which was the biggest worse than expected. This is also the first time that the company has fallen below the 400,000-vehicle mark since the third quarter of 2022, which is over 8.5% lower than the delivery of 422,875 vehicles in the first quarter of last year, recording the first year-on-year decline since the second quarter of 2020.

　　Intel’s report shows that the loss of its foundry business expanded in 2023.

　　In a document submitted by Intel on Tuesday, Intel said that the sales of its new manufacturing division, Intel Foundry, in 2023 were $18.9 billion, down from $27.5 billion in the previous year, and the operating loss increased from $5.2 billion in 2022 to $7 billion. It is estimated that the loss will reach its peak in 2024 and will be realized at the operational level "in the middle of now to the end of 2030". Intel shares fell more than 2% after the report was released. Intel’s entry into outsourcing chip production is one of the biggest transformations in the company’s history. CEO Pat Gelsinge’s recovery plan also includes restoring the company’s once impeccable technological advantage, which the chip giant lost in the years before he took office in 2021.

　　A major breakthrough in AI pharmaceutical! Stanford SyntheMol model develops new antibiotics

　　According to a report by Stanford Medical College on March 28th, researchers from Stanford Medical College and McMaster University have made important progress in this field. They have developed an AI model called SyntheMol, which can synthesize drugs and create formulas for chemists in the laboratory.

　　The model creatively designed six new drugs for drug-resistant bacterial strain Acinetobacter baumannii, which is one of the main pathogens causing antibiotic resistance-related deaths. The model not only created a new drug structure, but also provided a detailed formula for chemical synthesis, enabling chemists to synthesize these drugs in the laboratory.

　　Abbott’s heart valve repair system has been approved by FDA to provide patients with new treatment options.

　　On Tuesday, US medical and health company Abbott announced that its heart valve repair system has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which is suitable for patients with potentially fatal heart disease. Abbott’s minimally invasive transcatheter TriClip repair system aims to treat tricuspid regurgitation (TR), which is a disease in which the valve between the right ventricle and the right atrium of the heart cannot be closed normally, resulting in blood reflux. Abbott has incorporated TriClip into its so-called "Fab 5" () equipment portfolio, which is expected to promote the company’s sales growth in the next few years, representing Abbott’s technological innovation and market leadership in their respective fields.

　　[financial calendar]

　　Recently, Hu Yue, associate professor and doctoral supervisor of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, has caused a heated discussion because he published 60 SCI papers in five years.

　　According to the teacher’s personal homepage of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Hu Yue received a bachelor’s degree in applied chemistry from East China University of Science and Technology in 2012 and a doctorate in chemistry from Edinburgh University in 2016.

　　In the same year, she joined Wuhan Photoelectric National Research Center of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and has been engaged in theoretical and experimental research of photovoltaic materials for solar cells for a long time.

　　In self-introduction, Hu Yue mentioned that in the past five years, she has published more than 60 SCI papers, including 21 papers by the first correspondent, including 1 paper by Science, 1 paper by Joule and 1 paper by Advanced Materials. At present, there are 2 highly cited papers on ESI.

　　Nine groups of journalists found that in the statistical table of journal impact factors released in June this year, the impact factor of Science was 47.728, that of Joule was 41.248, and that of Advanced Materials was 30.849. Impact factor refers to the frequency with which articles in a periodical are cited in a specific year or period. Generally speaking, the higher the impact factor, the greater the influence of the journal.

　　Some netizens said that before Hu Yue joined Huazhong University of Science and Technology, there were only four papers by the first author, and one paper was output on average one month after joining the company, and his paper was suspected of "irrigation".

　　"Our teacher didn’t do anything wrong, but the mistake was too much exposure." On the afternoon of December 13th, han hongwei, the leader of Hu Yue’s research group and professor of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, responded to the reporter.

　　"Our research group has a large number of people and published many articles, which has caused some misunderstandings." Han hongwei said.

　　The leader of the research group responded: The mistake is that there is too much exposure.

　　"We didn’t expect the heat to be so high, and this matter was misinterpreted." Han hongwei said.

　　His office is next door to Hu Yue. On December 13th, he answered the phone all afternoon and walked in a hurry. Referring to Hu Yue, he said angrily, "Our teacher didn’t do anything wrong, but the mistake was too much exposure."

　　On December 8th, a post-90s doctoral supervisor was often recognized as a "teacher elder sister"! The introduction is very eye-catching! The article was reprinted by many media, allowing Hu Wei to enter the public eye. While gaining praise, Hu Yue’s resume also sparked heated discussion.

　　In the article, Hu Yue said that her grandfather graduated from Zhejiang University with a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree, and she has been engaged in chemical-related work. Her interest in scientific research was enlightened by her grandfather. In 2008, Hu Yue was admitted to the School of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering of East China University of Science and Technology. In 2009, she joined the team of Academician Tian He and participated in the national innovative experimental program for college students to carry out research on "dye-sensitized solar cells". Therefore, some netizens speculated that Hu Yue relied on his grandfather to obtain academic resources.

　　On December 14th, Hu Yue responded in an interview with China Science News that his grandfather was a retired engineer of former Wuhan Chemical Industry Bureau, not an academician of Internet communication. According to public reports, Hu Yue scored 626 points in the college entrance examination that year, ranking first among Hubei candidates admitted by East China University of Science and Technology. With such good grades, she joined the Department of Science and Technology Excellence of East China University of Science and Technology, and had the opportunity to choose Professor Tian He as her tutor.

　　On the teacher’s personal homepage of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Hu Yue briefly mentioned that in the past five years, she has published more than 60 SCI papers, including 21 first/correspondent papers. Including 1 science, 1 Joule, 1 advanced materials, 2 advanced energy materials, 2 advanced functional materials, 1 ACS energy letter and 1 energy & environmental science. At present, Google Scholar has cited more than 1,800 times, with an H index of 24, and 2 papers have been selected as highly cited papers in ESI.

　　Hu Yue’s research field. Network screenshot

　　Han hongwei explained why the number of Hu Yue’s articles is as high as 60: "As a teacher of the research group, we will collectively take a group of students to give guidance from different angles and different professional backgrounds. If the teacher contributes, we will write his name in." He added that apart from the first author, co-first author and correspondent, other teachers are only participants, and their contribution may be only 1% or 10%, and they are not responsible for the article.

　　According to WeChat official account, the official of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, at present, Hu Yue and Professor han hongwei have jointly trained five doctoral students and five master students independently. Three master students have graduated, two have entered Huawei and one has gone to Zhejiang University for further study.

　　"Our research group has a large number of people and published many articles, which has caused some misunderstandings." Han hongwei said.

　　He was promoted to associate professor in two years and became a doctoral supervisor in three years.

　　"Young" and "excellent" are Hu Yue’s most conspicuous labels. The short film "Chasing the Light — — In Hu Yue, Hu Yue said: "I am an associate professor and doctoral supervisor born in the 1990s. When I first returned to China, many students were even older than me."

　　During the undergraduate course, she studied with Professor Hua Jianli of East China University of Science and Technology and Academician Tian He. In the representative papers listed by Professor Hua Jianli in official website, East China University of Science and Technology, Hu Yue’s name appeared in the author list of six papers, and the publishing time was from 2014 to 2017.

　　In 2012, after graduating from Hu Yue University, he applied for a full scholarship with excellent results and entered the University of Edinburgh to continue solar cell research. In 2016, Hu Yue received his Ph.D. and joined Huazhong University of Science and Technology through the postdoctoral talent introduction program.

　　According to the upstream news report, there are four papers published by Hu Yue in 2016, which are neither the first author nor the correspondent author, and of these four papers, only one is more valuable, but it is not the top publication. Therefore, some netizens think: "At this level, if the postdoctoral experience is not gilded, it is difficult to get a teaching position in a school like Huake."

　　In this regard, Hu Yue said in an interview with China Science News that during her doctoral period, she published more than 10 papers, among which 6 were first authors or co-first authors. After graduating from Ph.D., she first entered Huazhong University of Science and Technology as a postdoctoral fellow and stayed at school after leaving the station.

　　Official website of Huazhong University of Science and Technology shows that Hu Yue went to Oxford University, London Imperial College London and Lausanne Federal Institute of Technology for cooperation and exchange for one or three months during his doctoral studies.

　　After entering Huazhong University of Science and Technology, the number of articles published by Hu Yue increased significantly. The reporter found in Google Academic Search that Hu Yue published 13 papers in 2017.

　　In 2018, she and associate professor Rong Guangguang of Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Dr. Mei Anyi published a paper as the co-first author, which was published in Science magazine, and the project also won the support of major research plan integration projects and key projects of the National Natural Science Foundation.

　　In the same year, Hu Yue was promoted to associate professor and became a doctoral supervisor in 2019.

　　The office door is covered with cartoon images.

　　At five o’clock on the afternoon of December 13th, the building of Wuhan Optoelectronic National Research Center in the east campus of Huazhong University of Science and Technology was full of busy students.

　　In the corridor, five students around the round table discussed the group work fiercely. A black boy wearing headphones came out of the laboratory and stared blankly out of the window. There were four graduate students at the corner of the stairs to define the division of labor for the next project presentation.

　　Hu Yue works on the eighth floor. In a row of offices, hers is the most special. The gray door is covered with the image of opening, an orange cat sticker is stuck by the door, and the stills of Naruto are skewed in the center, with two molecular formulas sandwiched between them.

　　Hu Yue’s office. Figure/Nine School News Ma Jieying

　　The reporter found that Hu Yue had only one project practice class recently.

　　Liu Yilin (pseudonym), a graduate student at the School of Optoelectronic and Information, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, said that Hu Yue spends most of her time in the laboratory, but recently, because of her graduation thesis defense, she rarely appears in this building. "I am not here these days." Liu Yilin said.

　　Liu Yilin’s impression of Hu Yue is "tenderness". Because they are not in the same research group, there is not much communication. The only communication between him and Hu Yue was when he defended his graduation thesis last year. At that time, as soon as he showed the results of his paper, Hu Yue asked a question about energy management, but Liu Yilin’s research direction was different from this. He didn’t answer it. "I was very nervous at that time, but the teacher was very gentle and didn’t answer it."

　　Opposite Hu Yue’s office is the student office, where several graduate students work. The computer screen of the girl sitting at the door is covered with experimental pictures, and there are unfinished English papers in the document.

　　A student from other research groups told reporters that she had read online queries and hoped not to interview Mr. Hu. "Teacher Hu is usually very kind to us."

Foreword

Influenza virus can cause seasonal influenza, and may even cause a pandemic outbreak. Influenza virus is a negative-strand RNA virus with complex classification, numerous subtypes and easy mutation. At present, it is recognized that the best way to prevent influenza is vaccination. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the vaccine, the World Health Organization (WHO) updates the composition of the vaccine strain every year.

Changes of influenza vaccine strains in the northern hemisphere in 2024-2025

In order to keep the vaccine effective, it is necessary to update the components of influenza virus vaccine regularly. After analyzing the global influenza virus epidemiology, etiology and vaccine serology, WHO announced the recommendation of influenza vaccine components in the northern hemisphere from 2024 to 2025 on February 23, 2024.

?

Trivalent chicken embryo culture vaccine

an A/Victoria/4897/2022 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus

an A/Thailand/8/2022 (H3N2) -like virus

a B/Austria/1359417/2021 (B/Victoria lineage)-like virus

?

Trivalent cell culture or recombinant protein vaccine

an A/Wisconsin/67/2022 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus

an A/Massachusetts/18/2022 (H3N2)-like virus

a B/Austria/1359417/2021 (B/Victoria lineage)-like virus

?

Tetravalent chicken embryo and cell culture or recombinant protein vaccine

The following components are added on the basis of trivalent vaccine

a B/Phuket/3073/2013 (B/Yamagata lineage)-like virus

Since March 2020, the naturally occurring B/Yamagata virus has not been confirmed. WHO thinks that it is not necessary to use B/Yamagata virus as a component of influenza vaccine, and it should be removed from the component of influenza vaccine. Where tetravalent vaccine is still used, the composition of B/Yamagata line is consistent with the previous recommendation.

Comparing the composition of influenza vaccine in the northern hemisphere from 2023 to 2024, it was found that the change of composition was mainly due to the difference of H3N2 virus strains:

Vaccine types

2023-2024

2024-2025

Trivalent chicken embryo culture vaccine

A/Darwin/9/2021 (H3N2)-like virus

A/Thailand/8/2022 (H3N2) -like virus

Trivalent cell culture or recombinant protein vaccine
