Mystery under the steering wheel (1): Interpretation of power steering system

  [Technology] Cars have become an indispensable part of our lives. The combination of steering wheel+shift lever+pedal seems to have become a natural way to control cars, but their respective mechanisms are rarely understood. Take the steering wheel in our hands as an example, the majority of riders are still vague about the common concepts of various steering systems, such as "the difference with hydraulic power" and "what is the variable power", and so on. Below, we will systematically introduce various common steering systems, answer these questions, and discuss the mysteries and mysteries of various steering systems with you.

  Because of the long space, this paper introduces our most common system now, interprets "where does the power come from" and introduces the classification of power steering system.

  Power steering, as its name implies, is to resist steering resistance by increasing external force, so that drivers can complete steering with less force. It is also called power steering. It was originally designed to make some large vehicles with heavy weight operate more easily, but now it has become very popular. It makes driving easier and easier, and makes vehicles more agile and improves safety to some extent. Power steering can be divided into two categories according to the different sources of power-hydraulic power and electric power.

  The origin of hydraulic power steering can be traced back to February, 1902. Frederick W. Lanchester of Britain invented "Cause the steering mechanism to be actuated by hydraulic power", that is, the hydraulic driving steering mechanism. After that, inventors in the United States and Canada successively registered patents for similar inventions. In automobile production, the commercial production of hydraulic power steering system was first realized, and it was named Hydraguide hydraulic steering system, and it was installed on Chrysler’s sixth generation Imperial in 1951. With the development of technology, the steering system with electronic pump instead of mechanical pump appears, so the current hydraulic power is mainly divided into mechanical hydraulic power and electronic hydraulic power. In addition, the electronic servo hydraulic power steering system is derived from the mechanical hydraulic power.

  Let’s look at the main principle of mechanical hydraulic power steering, which is based on mechanical rack-and-pinion steering mechanism, and adds a whole set of hydraulic system, including liquid storage tank, hydraulic booster pump, mechanical valve connected with steering column, hydraulic cylinder on steering mechanism and the one that can push steering rod, etc.

  The hydraulic pump provided by mechanical power steering is driven by a belt, which means that the steering pump can only run when the engine is running, which is why the steering wheel power disappears after the engine is turned off. On the steering machine, there is a mechanical valve that can rotate with the steering column. When the steering wheel does not rotate left and right, the pressure in the chambers on both sides of the piston is consistent and in a balanced state. When the steering wheel rotates, the mechanical valve connected to the steering column will be opened or closed accordingly, and the oil on one side will return directly to the oil storage tank without passing through the hydraulic cylinder, and the oil on the other side will continue to be injected into the hydraulic cylinder, so that the pressure difference between the two sides of the piston will be pushed under the action of hydraulic force, and then the auxiliary force will be generated to push the steering rod to steer the wheels, which greatly reduces the force required for us to turn the steering wheel.

  Another advantage of hydraulic power steering system is to improve comfort and safety. When the wheels jump violently and the tires turn involuntarily when encountering potholes, the vibration can be well buffered and absorbed by the action of hydraulic pressure on the piston, which greatly reduces the vibration transmitted to the steering wheel. At the same time, this structure also improves the safety. For example, when a vehicle using the traditional rack-and-pinion mechanism turns, the tire suddenly changes direction when it encounters a pothole, and the rack will drive the gear to reverse the steering wheel, resulting in the situation of "beater", which is easy to hurt the driver’s hand, so there will be no such problem in a hydraulically assisted vehicle.

  Mechanical hydraulic booster features:The whole system is a mechanical structure, from the mechanical hydraulic pump driven by the belt to the hydraulic mechanical valve body on the steering column, without any electronic system, with mature and stable technology, high reliability and wide application range. Even if the hydraulic system of the vehicle fails and loses power, it can still rely on the traditional rack and pinion mechanism for steering. Disadvantages are complex structure, large space occupation and high manufacturing cost, which also makes the maintenance difficult and costly. And because the hydraulic pump is driven by the engine belt, it will consume part of the power of the engine, which will affect the fuel economy and the power of the vehicle, especially for small-displacement vehicles with relatively weak power. In addition, the strength of the mechanical hydraulic power-assisted system is not adjustable, so it is difficult to take into account the different requirements for pointing accuracy when driving at low speed and high speed.

● Electro-hydraulic booster

  The so-called Electro-hydraulic power steering (EHPS for short) has exactly the same principle as mechanical hydraulic power steering, but the biggest difference from mechanical hydraulic power steering is that instead of using a hydraulic pump driven by an engine through a belt, it is replaced by an electric pump.

Home of the car

  The advantages of electro-hydraulic power assist are firstly reflected in energy consumption. First, the electronic pump driven by electric energy uses the electric energy output by the generator and the battery, and no longer consumes the power of the engine itself. The start and stop of the electronic pump are all controlled by the electronic system. When it is not steering, the electronic pump is turned off, unlike the mechanical hydraulic power assist pump, which is always linked with the engine, further reducing energy consumption.

  Secondly, the electronic control unit of the electro-hydraulic power steering system can change the power of steering assistance by processing the information of sensors such as speed sensor, lateral acceleration sensor and steering angle sensor, and changing the flow rate of the electronic pump in real time, that is, the function of variable power assistance with speed. Of course, it is not only the electro-hydraulic power assist that can realize the variable power assist with speed. We will introduce various "variable" power assist steering systems in detail in later articles.

  Electro-hydraulic power assist has been gradually popularized since the late 1990s, and brands such as,,,,, and have models using electro-hydraulic power assist system. We are familiar with, and other models use such a system.

Citroen Dongfeng Citroen Triumphal 2006 2.0L Automatic Elite

"Triumph, old models and other models use electro-hydraulic power."

Ford Changan Ford Focus 2011 sedan 2.0AT luxury model

  Why can’t electro-hydraulic assist replace mechanical hydraulic assist?

  No matter from the aspects of technology, function or economy, electro-hydraulic power assistance has more advantages than mechanical hydraulic power assistance. However, at present, electro-hydraulic power assistance has not been able to replace mechanical hydraulic power assistance for the following reasons:

  1. The cost of electro-hydraulic booster is higher. Compared with the mechanical hydraulic power-assisted system, after adding the electronic control system and replacing it with the electronic pump, the manufacturing cost of electronic hydraulic power-assisted system is higher, the technology is more complicated, and the difficulty and cost of maintenance are also increased.

  2. The reliability is not as good as that of mechanical hydraulic booster. In addition to the failure of steering mechanism and hydraulic mechanism, electro-hydraulic power assist also increases the possibility of electrical system failure, so its reliability is not as good as that of traditional hydraulic power assist system.

  3. The assistance is limited. Although the use of electronic pump has obvious advantages, it needs to be driven by the electric energy of the generator, and the vehicle-mounted generator itself and the maximum current it can provide are limited, so the power of the electronic pump is also limited, and the load it can carry is also limited. Therefore, at present, most of the models that use electro-hydraulic power are medium-sized vehicles. For vehicles that need greater assistance, the electro-hydraulic assistance system is beyond the reach.

  4. Evolved mechanical hydraulic booster system. With the development of technology, the variable speed function of electro-hydraulic power-assisted system has been realized on the evolved mechanical hydraulic power-assisted system (using solenoid valve body technology), and even a variable speed ratio system has been derived from the mechanical hydraulic power-assisted steering system, so the mechanical hydraulic power-assisted system with higher reliability and load-bearing capacity is still welcomed by manufacturers.

Kenny Lin officially declared Taobao as the ambassador of the national brand! How does Taobao Tmall skillfully use policies to turn this wave of operation into a traffic explosion point?

  On May 13th, on the first day of Tmall’s pre-emptive purchase of 618 countries, Taobao took the lead in playing the marketing strategy of "Wang Fried"-Kenny Lin, a national artist of "900 million girls’ dream", was officially declared as the brand ambassador of Taobao countries, and magical advertisements were placed in CCTV, online mainstream APP and offline over 50 cities, brainwashing consumers across the country: "Pay close attention to Taobao and receive state subsidies!" The big promotion policy of "national subsidy+Tmall 618 subsidy as low as 50% off" has strongly reached hundreds of millions of consumers.

  In this year’s 618 event, Taobao also launched the "National Supplement Surprise Coupon" for the first time: users can grab the "National Supplement Surprise Coupon" which was launched for the first time and has the largest overlapping subsidy, and also participate in the interesting interaction of Kenny Lin, the brand ambassador of Taobao National Supplement; At the same time, watch the live broadcast of Kenny Lin on May 19th, and you will have a better chance to win the opportunity of "up to 10,000 yuan for national exemption". This "618" marketing campaign, which is based on policies, with stars as the guide, welfare as the spear and brand as the shield, once again breaks the routine and "updates" new marketing ideas, and also makes Taobao the first entrance for consumers to receive state subsidies.

  "Hurry up and update" TVC’s magical brushing screen, releasing the whole world and detonating the country’s mind.

  Consumers are blown in mid-air by strong winds, grabbing mobile phones passing by; The person at the forefront of the team reached out and grabbed Kenny Lin’s skirts, and shouted with joy, "Hurry up and update!"

  The magic advertisement in just 15 seconds directly visualizes the core idea of Taobao’s national compensation marketing: "People are blown by strong winds" vividly interprets "the wind of Taobao’s national compensation is too strong"; All kinds of home appliances that have been blown away intuitively show the rich categories of Taobao’s national supplement; The action of "Hurry up to update" is a pun, which skillfully connects the homonym of the name of Kenny Lin, the ambassador of Taobao’s national subsidy brand, with "Hurry up to receive the national subsidy from Taobao", and makes a heavy discount of "make up for it, as low as 50% off", which quickly attracts users’ attention and grabs users’ minds.

  In addition, Taobao also released several other magical TVCs, such as "Catch Kenny Lin in mid-air", "Kenny Lin City Gate Catch New Household Appliances" and "Delivery Master Catch Kenny Lin". Together with Dafeng Creative TVC, it interestingly explained the four core points of this national supplement: supplement and supplement, rich categories, new products and service mentality, which directly highlighted the interesting marketing style of this 618 Taobao.

  As the ambassador of Taobao’s national subsidy brand, Kenny Lin’s label setting has always been highly consistent with Taobao’s "affordable and interesting" platform image, and its name of "update" has formed a natural memory point with "grasping Taobao’s national subsidy". In addition, the audience flow brought by last year’s hot works such as "The Story of a Rose" and "With the Phoenix" has contributed to the spread of "grasping the update".

  In order to detonate the communication potential, Taobao released a global bombing combination boxing: CCTV launched to strengthen the credibility of the policy, covering all ages and nationwide markets; Online mainstream apps open screens and information flow advertisements accurately attack young users; The offline 50+ city business circle will be launched to create an immersive "updated" advertising experience.

  Long-term marketing drives brand value to upgrade, grasps policy dividend and highlights brand responsibility.

  When the demonic brainwashing "hurry to update" TVC swept the business circle of 50 cities across the country, Taobao’s national compensation marketing offensive became stronger and stronger-on May 19th, Taobao’s national compensation brand ambassador Kenny Lin will conduct a live broadcast. At that time, Kenny Lin will carry out a series of interesting interactions around the national subsidy, and will also give users a bonus of 10,000 yuan, star signatures, 50 rounds of red packets of rain and other super benefits, so as to create a saturated communication of "offline detonation+online fission" and continue to create a 618 marketing fever.

  Behind the lively entertainment marketing is Taobao’s deep response to the national subsidy policy: whether it is a big promotion discount, extra subsidies for trade-in, more brands and categories, more urban coverage, or the service of subsidizing 10,000 new products, large and small household appliances and home improvement, users can feel the peace of mind of Taobao’s in-depth implementation of the national subsidy policy as long as they log on to Taobao. This kind of play that turns policy potential energy into brand long-term value also adds weight to Taobao’s "good heart" as a user.

  It is worth noting that this time, Taobao, the national supplement, assembled 100 head brands for the first time to jointly make profits. Under the call of the platform, many brands actively responded to the national subsidy activities, and strongly conveyed the mind of "leading the country to make up for Taobao" by directly benefiting consumers. The collective call of many merchants not only enriched the lineup of activities, but also helped improve Taobao’s national compensation strategy. Especially under the premise that the national subsidy policy has restrictions on each citizen’s eligibility and quota, Taobao, which has gathered the most comprehensive categories, the best subsidies and exclusive service rights, has naturally become the "first entrance" for consumers to choose to receive national subsidies.

  Just like this magical TVC advertisement, Taobao’s combination of "national dividend+traffic leverage+global communication" has once again "updated" the new example of e-commerce platform 618 marketing.

It’s a common practice for college students to keep in good health. People who work too hard can’t run far.

  Recently, according to the China Youth Daily, "Ginger Soaks Foot" and "Drinking Tea for Beauty" … … With the increasing pressure of life, not only the post-90s generation who entered the workplace, but also many college students have begun to try various methods of health preservation. Health preservation is no longer the exclusive word of the elderly or middle-aged people, and the young campus groups represented by college students are constantly adjusting their lifestyles and advocating a healthier life and rest. Why are this wave of college students "trapped in health care" and "selling the old"? Many college students said that this is a way of "self-mockery" to fight anxiety and pressure.

  In many people’s cognition, college students are relaxed and chic, and can have fun relatively freely. But in fact, many college students are very bitter and tired now. It is not unusual to do homework, research and activities in class until early morning or even later.

  Under such a realistic background, it is not difficult to understand that many college students are "trapped in health preservation". Recently, a "2018 Life Consumption Trend Report" shows that based on the search volume of "Lycium barbarum" on the e-commerce platform of all ages, the proportion of search volume after 1995 increased significantly in September 2017. Honey, Lycium barbarum, whey protein, health tea and enzymes are the health foods that are keen on after 1995.

  When I was in college, I was also a "busy maniac". I was really working hard. My meals and sleep were irregular, and I also had a tendency to overeat. At that time, I thought I was still young, so I indulged myself too much and was indifferent to some early warning signals of my body. But now, nearly a year after graduation, all kinds of physical and mental discomforts have emerged, and I realize that "karma" has come and I want to "pay my debts". Therefore, now I will also force myself to keep fit, such as drinking more hot water, going to massage, eating more healthy food and running to and from work.

  The meaning of life is not temporary, but long-term. To quote a very fashionable online buzzword recently, "People who work too hard can’t run far". Who doesn’t want to "run away" on the road of life? So, please do it and cherish it.

  Of course, it is not enough to rely solely on the self-awakening of young people, but also to exert efforts at the social level. To put it bluntly, in addition to focusing on the "burden reduction" of primary and secondary school students, the social level should also focus on the "burden reduction" of young people represented by college students. There is no denying that the latter should be under pressure and responsible, and strive hard to realize their own value and social value, but all this should not be at the expense of health. It should be a social consensus that only a good body and a healthy lifestyle can create more shocking values.

Illegal addition of western medicine to Chinese patent medicine is harmful and deadly. "Tangzhining" rings the alarm bell.

  On January 17th and 19th, two patients in Xinjiang died after taking Tangzhining Capsule (batch number "081101") labeled "Guangxi Pingnan Pharmaceutical Factory". After investigation, the "Tangzhining Capsule" that caused the patient’s death was a counterfeit drug, and the chemical component "glibenclamide" was illegally added. According to industry analysts, patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension are huge, which has become a "gold mine" for many black-hearted drug dealers to make money. Some products advertised as pure Chinese medicine have illegally mixed western medicine ingredients, or added pharmaceutical ingredients to health foods, which is harmful to patients’ health. This has also become a focus of supervision by law enforcement departments in various places, including Guangdong Province.


  Three chemical components are often illegally added.


  According to reports, although the current medical level has made rapid progress, there is no major breakthrough in some difficult diseases, such as diabetes, chronic hepatitis, malignant tumors, etc., and neither traditional Chinese medicine nor western medicine can achieve a complete cure. Wei Hua, deputy director of the Department of Endocrinology, Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that as far as Chinese medicine is concerned, its composition is complex and its effect is mild and slow, while western medicine has continuously developed some chemical drugs which are more effective, but its side effects are relatively large. In this regard, some lawless people, taking advantage of the psychological trust of patients in traditional Chinese medicine, promote so-called pure Chinese medicine and health food, and secretly add western medicine chemical components to them, so that patients feel obvious curative effect after taking it, thus increasing sales. For example, the "Tangzhining Capsule" that went wrong this time is under the banner of Chinese patent medicine.


  Wei Hua said that in addition to the glibenclamide added in the "Tangzhining Capsule" that went wrong this time, gliclazide and glipizide are the most commonly added hypoglycemic western medicine ingredients in those illegal products. According to the relevant regulations, chemical substances are not allowed to be added to traditional Chinese medicine. "Glibenclamide" has a strong hypoglycemic effect, and its pharmacological function is to promote insulin secretion and improve human insulin deficiency through metabolism after entering the blood. However, serious overdose may cause shock and even death.


  It is understood that the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Institute for Drug Inspection found that the drugs taken by the deceased during his lifetime contained about 10.33 mg of "glibenclamide" per pill. "Glibenclamide" is a second-generation sulfonylurea, which has a strong hypoglycemic effect, but adults should not take more than l5 mg per day, otherwise it will endanger the life safety of users. According to the instructions of the seized drugs, the normal dosage is 9 capsules per day, which has exceeded the maximum daily dosage by 6 times.


  You can’t add western medicine to Chinese medicine at random.


  A person in charge of a pharmaceutical factory told reporters that the incident was not accidental, and illegal drugs, health foods, western medicines and illegal propaganda occurred from time to time. According to National Medical Products Administration, they found that it is not uncommon to add sildenafil, a component of Viagra, to the "pure Chinese medicine" for treating male sexual dysfunction, and to add thyroid hormone to diet food, which can cause hyperthyroidism, so that patients who don’t know the truth suffer from side effects of drugs for no reason. This exposes a problem: most Chinese people believe that "natural drugs" have the advantages of low toxicity and side effects, and it is inevitable that they are not alert to side effects such as dependence.


  Wang Dahong, Secretary-General of the Market Working Committee of China Health Food Association, said that illegal addition of western medicine ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine or chemical ingredients in health food will do great harm to patients and should not be added indiscriminately. Doctors and patients use mixed Chinese and western medicines without knowing it, which can easily lead to repeated adverse drug reactions. For example, if diabetic patients don’t know that the Chinese patent medicine for lowering blood sugar is added with glibenclamide, they mistakenly think it is a "Chinese medicine with no toxic and side effects" and take it in excess, or take the western medicine for lowering blood sugar at the same time for "integrated Chinese and western medicine treatment", which will lead to overdose of hypoglycemic drugs and hypoglycemia, and even lead to blood sugar fluctuation of patients if they stop taking the medicine suddenly. Therefore, Wang Dahong said that the timely discovery and investigation of the problem "Tangzhining Capsule" has eliminated another safety hazard that harms consumers’ health, and the industry has been further eliminated.


  Illegal addition has four characteristics.


  Most Chinese patent medicines or health foods illegally added with western medicine ingredients have the following characteristics: First, they claim that they can cure or greatly improve certain diseases in a short period of time, and their efficacy is remarkable. Second, most drugs are sold through online advertisements, mail advertisements or health knowledge lectures. Third, most drugs or health care products are covered with legal coats. Some products are pure Chinese medicine ingredients when applying for batch number, but western medicine ingredients are added during production. Fourth, the means of addition is very secret. Knowing that the routine drug testing only examines the internal substances of drugs, criminals add western medicine ingredients to the external carriers of drugs such as capsule shell. Finally, it is suggested that consumers can check the authenticity of drugs through the official website of the State Food and Drug Administration.

  glibenclamide


  Glibenclamide, alias glibenclamide, Daanning, etc., is a prescription drug and must be taken under the guidance of a doctor. It is an islet hormone and a drug that affect blood sugar, and can be used to treat mild and moderate non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus with unsatisfactory therapeutic effect only by diet control, but the patient’s islet β cells need to have certain insulin secretion function without serious complications, such as diarrhea, nausea, headache, stomachache, liver function damage, thrombocytopenia and other adverse symptoms. If you take glibenclamide in large quantities for a long time, it will eventually lead to hypoglycemia, nephropathy and even death.

  Which drugs illegally add glibenclamide?


  According to experts, in the drug treatment of diabetes, except insulin, most of them are oral drugs. Oral hypoglycemic drugs are usually divided into three categories: western medicine hypoglycemic drugs, pure Chinese medicine hypoglycemic drugs and Chinese and Western medicine hypoglycemic drugs. Generally, pure Chinese medicine has weak hypoglycemic effect, slow onset and high safety. Western medicine hypoglycemic agents take effect quickly and have great toxic and side effects. The combination of Chinese and western hypoglycemic agents is based on the pure traditional Chinese medicine hypoglycemic agents, and incorporates the ingredients of western medicine hypoglycemic agents, which not only has the advantages of rapid hypoglycemic effect of western medicine, but also has the advantages of high safety of traditional Chinese medicine. According to the person in charge of the provincial drug evaluation center, at present, only three kinds of oral hypoglycemic drugs, such as Yikai Xiaoke Pill, are officially registered in China. It is not the first time to illegally add glibenclamide. In 2005, the Ministry of Health investigated and dealt with two cases-


  ○ On June 15th, 2005, the Ministry of Health issued a notice, requiring all localities to investigate and deal with some batch numbers of "Ku Le Kang Capsule" produced by Liaoning Healthy Weiye Biotechnology Co., Ltd.. The Ministry of Health pointed out that when the relevant departments of Jilin Province supervised and inspected the health food "Ku Le Kang" capsules (approval number: Wei Shi Jian Zi [2002] No.0588) produced by Liaoning Health Weiye Biotechnology Co., Ltd., they found that the products marked with certain batch numbers contained chemical drugs. The capsule shells of samples with batch numbers of 20041201 (not for sale), 20040902 and 20041201 contain the chemical drug glibenclamide, and the capsule contents with batch number of 20050401 contain the chemical drug gliclazide.


  ○ On October 9, 2005, Jiangxi Food and Drug Administration announced that the law enforcement officers of Nanchang Food and Drug Administration had tested the drug "Tangbikang Jiangtangning Capsule" labeled as batch number 20050403082 produced by Jilin Shenhui Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.: glibenclamide was illegally added to this Chinese patent medicine.

Cross-border e-commerce: bringing China closer to the world.

The "Several Policies and Measures on Promoting the Stable Growth of Foreign Trade" issued by the Ministry of Commerce recently proposed to promote the development of cross-border e-commerce. The status and importance of cross-border e-commerce does not stop there. At present, it has been included as a new clause in some newly signed and escalating bilateral free trade agreements.

In recent years, new foreign trade formats and new modes have emerged in China, especially cross-border e-commerce, which has become a "new engine" to stimulate foreign trade growth with its rapid development. Relying on strong supply capacity, faster customs clearance efficiency and more cost-effective customized services, cross-border e-commerce is promoting more China products to link to the global market. Cross-border packages smoothly shuttle between more countries and regions, bringing China closer to the world.

"New clause" of FTA

Data show that in the first three quarters of this year, the import and export of cross-border e-commerce in China increased by 11.5% year-on-year, accounting for nearly 6% of China’s foreign trade. As a new format and model in the field of foreign trade, the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce is a pragmatic achievement of China’s continuous expansion of high-level opening-up and promotion of bilateral and multilateral economic and trade cooperation.

On November 14th, China and Peru signed a protocol to upgrade the FTA, adding five chapters to the original FTA, including e-commerce. On August 22nd, the joint communique between China and the Belarusian government pointed out that the two sides will strengthen cooperation in the field of e-commerce and encourage Belarusian enterprises to enter the major e-commerce platforms in China … Recently, the newly signed bilateral free trade agreement or the upgraded free trade agreement has included cross-border e-commerce as a new clause, which has injected momentum into the development of cross-border e-commerce between China and its free trade partners.

"The inclusion of cross-border e-commerce as a new clause in the bilateral free trade agreement has released a new signal that China attaches great importance to the role of cross-border e-commerce in international trade and regards it as an important tool to promote trade liberalization and facilitation." Hong Yong, a think tank expert of China Digital and Real Integration 50 Forum, told the International Business Daily reporter.

"This is a very positive signal." Wang Chunming, executive director and general manager of Harbin Fuhuo International Supply Chain Co., Ltd., told the International Business Daily that the inclusion of cross-border e-commerce in the terms of the bilateral free trade agreement not only simplifies the trade process of enterprises, reduces the barriers to cross-border transactions of enterprises, but also deepens the cooperation between enterprises and other countries in e-commerce. "On the other hand, this move also shows that while promoting the high-quality development of foreign trade, China has taken the digital economy and cross-border e-commerce as a key link in its future development, which is bound to promote more enterprises to participate in the international market."

In Hong Yong’s view, this move also reflects China’s determination to play a more active role in global digital economic governance and trade rule-making. "China has always been committed to jointly formulating rules through international cooperation to promote the healthy and orderly development of cross-border e-commerce."

Cross-border e-commerce "acceleration"

"Our e-commerce sales have nearly tripled year-on-year, and the logistics speed has been shortened from more than 40 days to about 25 days now." Wang Chunming said that the company’s latest batch of orders were delivered from Belarus to Erenhot, and the goods were distributed to all parts of the country after unloading. "Five cars were delivered this morning, and four cars will be’ taken’ later."

There are many foreign trade enterprises like Wang Chunming that enjoy the dividend of cross-border e-commerce development. In Guangzhou and Baiyun Airport Comprehensive Bonded Zone, batches of small packages imported directly by cross-border e-commerce such as beauty and skin care products and clothing accessories were sorted and sent to all parts of the country. In Sichuan, in eight provincial-level cross-border e-commerce industrial parks, 400 cross-border e-commerce source factories operate efficiently, and batches of products with Bashu characteristics go overseas from here.

Since 2014, cross-border e-commerce has been written into the government work report for 11 consecutive years. From 1.06 trillion yuan in 2018 to 2.38 trillion yuan in 2023, the import and export of cross-border e-commerce in China increased by 1.2 times in five years.

Hong Yong believes that the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce in China is mainly due to its ability to effectively reduce transaction costs, shorten transaction chains, improve transaction efficiency, and meet the personalized and diversified needs of consumers.

According to customs statistics, in the first eight months of this year, there were 630,000 foreign trade business entities with import and export performance in China, up 8.8% year-on-year. According to preliminary statistics, the number of cross-border e-commerce entities in China has exceeded 120,000, and the number of cross-border e-commerce industrial parks has exceeded 1,000. Relying on 165 cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test zones in China, cross-border e-commerce has driven more enterprises from various industrial belts to participate in international trade.

Wang Chunming said that these data reflect the great changes in global consumption and trade patterns. "In the past, international trade mainly relied on traditional channels and logistics models. Nowadays, consumers can purchase global goods more conveniently through e-commerce platforms, and enterprises can also use e-commerce platforms to break geographical restrictions and enter the international market."

However, the industry has also noticed that the development of cross-border e-commerce still faces some challenges, such as the inconvenience of cross-border exchange, the need to improve cross-border e-commerce service capabilities, and differences in laws and regulations. In the next step, how to promote the "new engine" with high quality is the key to the industry’s stability and far-reaching.

In this regard, Wang Chunming suggested: First, strengthen policy coordination with other countries, increase the promotion of overseas markets, and promote more cross-border e-commerce enterprises to enter the international market. The second is to promote the combination of cross-border e-commerce platforms and localized services to help domestic enterprises better adapt to the international market, especially to provide more support in product compliance and payment security. "Only when policy, technology and market work together can we provide a better ecological environment for cross-border e-commerce and further promote its healthy and sustainable development."

Hong Yong suggested that the first is to strengthen infrastructure construction, such as improving domestic and international logistics networks and improving the security and convenience of cross-border payment systems. The second is to optimize the policy environment and reduce the operating costs of cross-border e-commerce enterprises through measures such as decentralization and reduction of examination and approval links. The third is to strengthen personnel training and technical support, establish a training mechanism for cross-border e-commerce professionals, and promote the application of technological innovation. Fourth, strengthen international cooperation, actively participate in the formulation of international rules, and create a fairer and more transparent external environment for cross-border e-commerce enterprises.

China’s "consumption map" came out: How much did you spend in the first half of the year?

  Beijing, July 31 (Reporter Tang Ming) According to World Finance, the economic voice of the Central Radio and Television General Station, the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics showed that in the first half of this year, the per capita consumption expenditure of the national residents reached 10,330 yuan, and consumption is still an important driving force to lead the stable economic growth. With the release of economic data of provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in the first half of the year, a more detailed "consumption map" is presented to people: where do residents spend the most money? Where is the fastest growth in consumption?

  The per capita consumption expenditure is generally higher than last year.

  In the first half of this year, the ranking of per capita consumption expenditure of residents in various provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) was basically the same as last year, and the amount of consumption expenditure generally increased compared with last year. The data shows that the top rankings of per capita consumption expenditure in the first half of this year were Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, Zhejiang and Guangdong, which were consistent with the first half of last year.

  Among them, Beijing’s per capita consumption expenditure exceeded 20,000 yuan, Hubei, Chongqing and Inner Mongolia exceeded 10,000 yuan. In the first half of this year, the per capita consumption expenditure exceeded 10,000 yuan, an increase of three compared with the same period last year.

  The southeast coastal market is huge, and the western region is growing rapidly.

  Looking at the "consumption map" in the first half of the year, the strong economic provinces in the southeast coast are generally stable and the consumer market is huge. Among the top 10 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in the first half of the year, the southeast coastal provinces and municipalities accounted for half of the country, and the per capita consumption expenditures of Shanghai, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Fujian all exceeded the national average, ranking in the forefront.

  Although the consumption market in the central and western regions is not as large as that in the southeast coast, the growth rate is generally faster. Among them, the total retail sales of social consumer goods in Sichuan Province in the first half of the year increased by 10.5% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 2.1 percentage points higher than the national average.

  Expanding consumption scenes in various places to stimulate consumption vitality

  In order to further stimulate the vitality of consumption, many regions have expanded the consumption scene. Recently, Beijing residents have fully felt the changes brought by the "night economy" to people’s lives. Guangdong has issued the Implementation Plan for Improving the System and Mechanism of Promoting Consumption in Guangdong Province, and put forward 29 specific measures in nine aspects in view of the outstanding problems that restrict consumption at present. Among them, in order to optimize the automobile consumption environment, measures such as gradually relaxing the car lottery and auction indicators in Guangzhou and Shenzhen and expanding the scale of quasi-purchase were put forward.

  Service-oriented, development-oriented, and experience-oriented consumption are featured.

  With the development of mobile Internet technology, in the "consumption map" in the first half of the year, service-oriented consumption, developmental consumption and experiential consumption have become the consumption characteristics of all localities. For example, in the first half of the year, Shanghai’s retail sales without stores reached 117.3 billion yuan, an increase of 20.4% over the same period last year; The contribution rate of service consumption in Beijing to the total consumption growth reached 70.4%, and the contribution rate of upgrading consumption such as communication to the total consumption growth reached 60%.

  Xing Ziqiang, chief economist of Morgan Stanley China, believes that in the future, 5G will inject new vitality into consumption. "The application of 5G is expected to help smart cities, the Internet of Things, the Internet of Vehicles and other applications to a big step, and finally make those more close to consumers. The vitality of tailor-made services, experiences, shopping and medical consumption will be further released, which may be the next stage."

Approved by the Ministry of Education, Hebei College of Traditional Chinese Medicine has been renamed Hebei University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

  hebei university of traditional chinese medicine

  According to the information recently disclosed on the website of Hebei College of Traditional Chinese Medicine (renamed the website of Hebei University of Traditional Chinese Medicine), on June 6, 2023, with the approval of the Ministry of Education, Hebei College of Traditional Chinese Medicine was renamed Hebei University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

  The recently updated "School Profile" of the school website (the data deadline is June 10th, 2023) states, "Hebei University of Traditional Chinese Medicine was founded in 1956, originally named as Hebei College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, with its location in Baoding City, Hebei Province. In 1957, it began to recruit undergraduates majoring in traditional Chinese medicine, and in 1958 it was named Hebei College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In 1962, it merged with Tianjin College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which was affiliated to Hebei Province. In 1969, Tianjin College of Traditional Chinese Medicine was moved to Shijiazhuang and merged with Hebei Medical College to form Hebei New Medical University. In 1983, the independent setting was resumed and enrollment began. In 1995, it merged with Hebei Medical College and Shijiazhuang Medical College to form Hebei Medical University. In 2013, the establishment of Hebei College of Traditional Chinese Medicine was resumed. On June 6, 2023, it was renamed Hebei University of Traditional Chinese Medicine with the approval of the Ministry of Education. "

  Previously, in May this year, the Development Planning Department of the Ministry of Education passed the "Announcement on Approving the Establishment of Undergraduate Colleges and Universities" issued by official website, the Ministry of Education, saying that according to the People’s Republic of China (PRC) Higher Education Law, the Provisional Regulations on the Establishment of Ordinary Colleges and Universities, the Provisional Regulations on the Establishment of Ordinary Undergraduate Schools, and the Standards for the Establishment of Vocational Schools at the Undergraduate Level (Trial), it is proposed to agree to establish seven schools, including Chongqing College of Chinese Medicine, after being inspected and evaluated by experts of the Eighth National College Establishment Evaluation Committee and deliberated by the party group meeting of the Ministry of Education. The publicity time is from May 22 to May 26, 2023.

  Among the seven schools announced this time, the Ministry of Education intends to agree that Hebei College of Traditional Chinese Medicine should be renamed Hebei University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the declared province is Hebei Province, and the nature of running a school is public.

  In recent years, Hebei College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Hebei Province have been actively promoting the renaming of schools.

  In December 2021, the Education Department of Hebei Province mentioned in response to a netizen’s inquiry, "At present, under the strong leadership of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, our province is relying on Hebei College of Traditional Chinese Medicine to build Hebei University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, providing all-round support and guidance in construction funds, talent introduction, education and teaching, and has achieved remarkable results. In the next step, we will continue to take effective measures to increase the promotion and strive to build Hebei University of Traditional Chinese Medicine as soon as possible. "

  Subsequently, in August 2022, the Hebei Provincial Department of Education replied to the netizen’s inquiry that "Hebei College of Traditional Chinese Medicine was renamed Hebei University of Traditional Chinese Medicine", saying, "After performing the provincial evaluation procedure, our province has submitted the application materials for renaming to the Ministry of Education. At present, related work is progressing in an orderly manner in accordance with the procedures for setting up institutions of higher learning. "

Abnormal cycle of Chinese herbal medicine? Maori downward pharmaceutical companies face the choice of price increase.

  "Up for three years, down for three years, flat for three years,The cycle of material price change is generally ten years. Based on this cyclical feature, people in the timber industry expected at the end of 2023 that "the price of timber has been rising for three years and should fall back." However, in the first half of this year, the price of Chinese herbal medicines continued to rise after a short-term adjustment at a high level.

  After a whole year’s inventory digestion of raw materials of traditional Chinese medicine, the gross profit margin of some listed Chinese medicine enterprises changed greatly in the first quarter of this year, and the pressure of raw material cost began to appear.

  Manager Li, a staff member of the original purchasing department of a listed pharmaceutical company, told the Cailian reporter: "Last year, some enterprises did predict the price increase of Chinese medicine raw materials and reserved raw materials, but generally speaking, the raw materials reserved by a company are usually one year, at most two years."

  Since the beginning of this year, the index of Kangmei Chinese herbal medicine has risen from 1810.99 points to 2248.52 points, with an increase of 24.16%. The prices of some varieties such as Atractylodes macrocephala, Cortex Moutan and Radix Paeoniae Alba have increased several times. The prices of Chinese herbal medicines continued to rise overall on the basis of last year’s high prices, while pharmaceutical companies turned to buy high-priced medicinal materials in the market after their own low-priced raw material stocks were exhausted, which may continue to push up the production costs of enterprises. The impact of this year’s price increase on listed Chinese pharmaceutical companies may be deepened.

  The gross profit margin of some Chinese medicine pharmaceutical companies has dropped significantly.

  As can be seen from the financial report data of Chinese medicine listed companies in the first quarter of this year, the gross profit margin of some companies showed a clear downward trend.

  The gross profit margin of the above-mentioned companies in Q1 2024 decreased by an average of 7.65pct compared with the same period of last year, and the gross profit margin of many listed companies decreased by more than 10pct.

  In this regard, Cailian reporters called some listed companies as investors, and some listed companies said that the rising price of Chinese herbal medicines caused cost pressure on the company’s products.(300519.SZ) A company official said: "The price of Chinese herbal medicines doubled from last year to this year."

Among the Chinese herbal medicines used in the company’s exclusive products, the prices of some Chinese herbal medicines rose significantly compared with last year, which affected the gross profit margin of some products to some extent. The company will take measures to reduce costs and increase efficiency to maintain relatively stable gross profit margin. In addition, the company will further strengthen the construction of Chinese herbal medicine breeding bases, which can not only guarantee the quality of Chinese herbal medicines from the source, but also alleviate the price pressure of some Chinese herbal medicines to some extent.

  The reporter of Cailian found that the prices of raw materials for the main products of several listed companies with obvious decline in gross profit margin have indeed risen sharply. such as(002728.SZ), the price of raw materials for washing Aster rose from 45 yuan/kg at the end of 2022 to 90 yuan/kg at present, while that of Radix Platycodi rose from 37 yuan/kg to 43 yuan/kg, that of Radix Peucedani rose from 45 yuan/kg to 85 yuan/kg, and that of Radix Glycyrrhizae rose from 22 yuan/kg to 31 yuan/kg. Only Fructus Aurantii decreased slightly from 23 yuan/kg.

  However, it should also be noted that not all companies’ gross profit margin decreases are caused by changes in the cost of medicinal materials, and changes in the company’s product structure and the results of medical insurance negotiations will have a greater impact on the company’s gross profit margin.

  However, for most Chinese medicine pharmaceutical companies, the overall price of Chinese medicine is still on the rise this year, and the gross profit margin of enterprises is affected by the change of raw material cost or more obvious than last year. This year, the prices of some commonly used Chinese herbal medicines, such as Atractylodes macrocephala, Radix Paeoniae Alba and Radix Aucklandiae, have risen sharply, and the market sentiment continues to rise. However, the prices of Chinese herbal medicines, such as Angelica sinensis, Codonopsis pilosula and Glycyrrhiza uralensis, which fell back in the second half of last year due to excessive increase, also showed signs of stabilization.

  After investigating and interviewing the distribution market of Chinese herbal medicines and some listed companies, the reporter of Cailian found that for enterprises with Chinese herbal medicine planting bases, the stability of product supply can be basically guaranteed when the price of Chinese herbal medicines rises, but because most of the medicinal materials in most enterprises are mainly planted in a cooperative way, the purchase price of raw materials is purchased at a protective price that goes with the market, which will not greatly benefit when the price of the medicinal materials rises.

  Manager Li told Cailian reporter: "The raw material reserves of most large Chinese medicine pharmaceutical companies generally analyze the price when purchasing medicinal materials. If the current price of a medicinal material is significantly higher than normal, enterprises generally will not make a large number of purchases, but will only use it as needed."

  If the current pharmaceutical companies start to use the purchasing strategy of low-inventory raw materials, under normal circumstances, the price of high-priced raw materials will slowly decrease due to weak demand, but if the price of this raw material continues to rise, pharmaceutical companies can only passively purchase.

  Enterprises raise prices? Break the contract? Or involution?

  Faced with the rising prices of Chinese herbal medicines, various companies have made different countermeasures for different products and markets.

  Some listed companies have chosen to raise prices, the earliest is(600436.SH) issued the Announcement on Price Adjustment of Leading Products in May 2023, and the company indicated that the retail price of Pien Tze Huang tablets, the leading product, in the domestic market will be raised from 590 yuan to 760 yuan from May 6, 2023, with an increase rate of 28.8%.

  For this price increase, the company said that it was mainly due to the rising cost of raw materials. The reporter of Cailian learned from the staff of Bozhou Drug Merchants Network that the price of bezoar, the main raw material needed by Pien Tze Huang, has increased significantly in the past two years. The price of natural bezoar per kilogram has risen from 500,000 yuan to a maximum of 1.8 million yuan, and now it has dropped slightly to around 1.5 million yuan.

  However, Pien Tze Huang did not raise the price of Angong Niuhuang Pill, another product with bezoar as the main raw material. Earlier, a staff member of another Angong Niuhuang Pill manufacturer told the Cailian reporter that although the price of bezoar has increased greatly, the company’s price increase needs to take into account the situation of competitors of the same product. If the price increase is rushed, it may affect the product sales.

  Except Pien Tze Huang,(002644.SZ) also announced in March this year that it will adjust the ex-factory price of its main proprietary Chinese medicine products due to rising raw materials and production costs, with an average price increase of 9%. Judging from the company’s first quarterly report, the gross profit margin of sales was 31.1%, which was indeed higher than that of 26.66% in the same period of last year. However, since the company raised the price in March, the boosting effect of the price increase on the gross profit margin has not yet fully appeared in the first quarterly report.

List of some enterprises whose gross profit margin increased year-on-year in the first quarter

  From the product structure of the company, its main products include compound Huangqi Jianpi oral liquid, concentrated Danggui pill, Xiaoyao pill, Angong Niuhuang pill and Liuwei Dihuang pill, most of which are OTC products.The public selling price of e-commerce platforms such as Taobao shows that the price of the company’s products is relatively low compared with similar products of other brands, and the gross profit margin is relatively low.

  In addition, Cailian reporters learned from pharmacies and some listed companies that the prices of main products of listed companies have also been adjusted. among(600993.SH) A company official said that the price of hemorrhoid cream under the company increased slightly. There are also staff members of a medical institution in Shijiazhuang City who reported to the Cailian reporter.The price of quick-acting jiuxin pills has increased recently.

  Under the pressure of rising prices of Chinese herbal medicines, some enterprises chose to breach the contract. Last month, Shandong Province announced two batches of "Announcement on Medical Price and Credit Evaluation Results of Illegal Enterprises in Joint Procurement of Chinese Herbal Pieces by Sanming Purchasing Alliance Inter-provincial Purchasing Alliance". Many enterprises refused to fulfill their commitments and refused to fulfill their purchase, sale or distribution contracts without justifiable reasons.(600085.SH)、The subsidiaries of (600518.SH) and Zhendong Pharmaceutical (300158.SZ) are all on the list of general dishonesty/serious dishonesty.

  The list mainly involves varieties such as Paeonia lactiflora, earthworm, Atractylodes macrocephala, Cortex Moutan, Angelica sinensis, Codonopsis pilosula, etc., which have increased greatly in the second half of last year or this year. Taking Atractylodes macrocephala as an example, the unified price of goods in Bozhou and anguo city markets rose from the lowest 28 yuan per kilogram last year to the highest 170 yuan per kilogram this year.

  Some insiders told Cailian reporter that because the centralized collection of Chinese herbal medicines in Shandong was not forced by the government, but made by micro-doctors, the risk of default was low. Therefore, some pharmaceutical companies chose to take the initiative to default because the cost of some drinks increased too much, if they continued to supply, they would cause serious losses.

  In addition to price increase and default, enterprises have a slightly helpless third choice. Some people in listed companies said that the price increase may face an unfavorable situation of competition with the same products, and now they can only support it, but the company will try its best to reduce various expenses.

  Faced with the rising prices of medicinal materials, some experts in the medicinal materials industry, such as Bozhou and Anguo, have also begun to revise their judgments on the rising cycle of Chinese medicinal materials-"There is a constant inflow of funds, and it may rise." However, some old drug dealers believe that the actual demand growth of medicinal materials is not so great. The price increase of many medicinal materials is not driven by demand, but by funds. Medicinal materials are hoarded in cold storage to form inventory, and the risk of price decline in the market is increasing.
