The funding gap exceeds 5 billion, and the Washington subway cuts its budget: it stops at 10 o’clock, closes its stations and lays off 2,000 people.

According to the latest report of American media on December 12th, Randy Clarke, general manager of Washington Metro, warned that if the budget gap of up to $750 million could not be made up in the first half of 2024, subway services and jobs would be greatly reduced.

According to public information, the Washington Metro is the second busiest urban rail transit system in the United States, second only to the new york Metro, which started operation in 1976. The service scope is roughly the core city of Washington metropolitan area, including Washington, D.C. and some cities and regions adjacent to Maryland.

In the past few months, the Washington subway system has been sounding the alarm and anticipating the potential impact of insufficient funds. At this week’s media briefing, Randy Clark provided more details on his proposed "balanced but sharply cut" budget for next year:

The subway will end its operation ahead of schedule, and all stations will be closed at 10 pm. At present, the subway basically operates until midnight or later. In addition, ten stations will be closed according to the passenger flow. The subway frequency will be reduced. At present, most subway trains run every six minutes or less, but if the funding situation does not improve in July next year, 90% of the intervals will be extended.

In addition, the "Metropolitan Bus" in the Washington subway system will also be greatly reduced. According to the proposed budget, 67 of the existing 135 lines will be cancelled; The service of the other 41 lines will be reduced. One third of bus services in Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia will be cut.

Other measures include a 20% increase in ticket prices and parking fees, and plans to lay off more than 2,200 people.

The huge budget gap is related to the problem of special funds in Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia; Due to inflation, low passenger flow and rising costs, five subway stations have laid off employees this month because of "unprecedented budget challenges".

Some American media exaggerated the above plan as "doomsday scene", but this is not all. The proposed budget of Washington Metro in FY 2025 said: "If there is no sustainable and predictable source of funds to replace the federal relief funds, the proposed budget of FY 2025 will present an unrecognizable subway because of unprecedented service cuts to make up for the operating deficit."

The more you visit, the more delicious it is | This National Day! Huaxi "Lakeside bridge opening Coffee" and other winds are waiting for you.

In autumn, what kind of experience will it be to watch the sunset in Huaxi Lake with your loved ones? This National Day holiday, instead of crowded people in scenic spots, it is better to go to Huaxi Lake, punch in the new "Lakeside bridge opening Coffee" in online celebrity, and string together a unique and leisurely city tour with a carefully roasted cup of coffee.
After walking into the garden and along Huaxi Lake, we came to the Corolla Bridge. The natural dome makes "Lakeside bridge opening Coffee" not only isolated from the world, but also keeps close contact with nature. Sitting here quietly, ordering a cup of mellow coffee, watching the sunset with the evening breeze by the lake, the busy moment of urban life is forgotten.
Slow cooking, fine tasting, ingenious culture in life coffee
"We use Mandenin coffee beans from Sumatra, Indonesia, with Jamaica’s Blue Mountain and Ethiopia’s Rose Summer to bring out the unique charm of Huaxi Lake with exquisite proportions." Wei Xianqin, the manager of "Lakeside bridge opening Coffee", brought the freshly brewed coffee to the tourists, and the unique pine needle fragrance fits the elegant artistic conception here.
The process of making coffee is comparable to an "experiment". The signature matcha latte in the store selects Tongren Fanjing Matcha as the "matcha capital of the world", "a touch of Qian Shan green, and the tea is fragrant". The delicate taste has the unique freshness and bitterness of Matcha, and with mellow milk, every bite seems to cross the spring tea field.
During the National Day holiday, I came here to order a cup of coffee, sit by the lake and watch the crowds, appreciate the charm of the integration of mountains and rivers, feel the blend of history and modernity, and enjoy my own "slow time".
There is no class flavor here, only the flavor of life.
"If you have something on your mind, have an American cup", "If you have a hard life, have a latte", "It’s not easy to work, coffee lasts", "Drink more Australian white, and good luck comes" … These interesting copywriting all tell the "sense of breathability" that young people urgently need.
In the afternoon or evening, going to the park to "leave the class" has become a popular leisure way for migrant workers, and it is even called "the spirit of contemporary people is fast charging".
If you are an "anxious star", sit quietly and have a cup of coffee, relax your interesting soul, and let your own thoughts unfold slowly in the hot air of coffee after strolling through the fir forest stream, the bird island in Qichuan, the acacia bridge and the Sanqiu bridge in Huaxi Lake, just like gently soothing the tired soul.
 Coffee has love and stories, and the wind is waiting for you.
Every cup of coffee here has defined the parameter range, from the screening standard of raw beans, the formulation of baking curve, to the water-powder ratio, liquid weight, pressure and water temperature of coffee grinding extraction, etc., all of which are strictly controlled to ensure the rich and mellow taste of coffee, and each cup of finished products tells the story of "coffee love".
In Huaxi Lake, "half a smoke and half a rain bridge, half a city full of fireworks and buildings", the love stories of Ba Jin and Xiao Shan, Xu Beihong and Liao Jingwen are blended here, which vividly explains the theme of "Romantic Huaxi". Here, you can taste a cup of black coffee symbolizing love and feel bitterness and sweetness, romance and affection, purity and sincerity.
The faint creek bridge is separated by purple smoke, the west bank of the rocky mountain is covered with sunset sails, and the "Lakeside bridge opening Coffee" in Huaxi is waiting for you.

"The house is for living", and count the things that affect real estate in 2016.

  This article is exclusively edited by China Land and Resources Newspaper’s WeChat WeChat official account "China Land and Resources Newspaper". Unauthorized reprinting by the media (including WeChat official account) is refused. Please contact us at 010-66557937 for authorized cooperation.

  "The house is for living, not for speculation." The central economic work conference was so set. Standing on the threshold of 2017, looking back on those things that affected the real estate market in the past year, this policy orientation has become more and more clear.

  While the majority of third-and fourth-tier cities are still struggling to "destock", some hot cities have already made their own prescriptions, and some have once again used the word "limit" as the first control policy; Some have launched a law enforcement storm against developers and real estate agents who speculate on the market and influence the expected price of housing, focusing on cracking down; Some rectification of down payment loans directly cut off the source of funds for speculators … …

  The policy has been fermented together, and the wind has turned at the end of the year. Shenzhen housing prices, which once led the country and rose for nearly two years, have stopped. It may be something to look forward to in 2017 to let the house truly return to the residential property.

  FebruaryPut forward to promote the block system

  In February 2016, the State Council issued "Several Opinions on Further Strengthening the Management of Urban Planning and Construction" (hereinafter referred to as "Opinions"), which is a supporting document of the Central Urban Work Conference restarted after 37 years, and outlines the road map of China’s urban development in the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" and even longer, and its importance is self-evident.

  The "Opinions" put forward that the block system should be promoted in new residential buildings. In principle, closed residential quarters should no longer be built. It also requires that completed residential quarters and unit courtyards should be gradually opened to realize the publicity of internal roads, solve the problem of traffic network layout, and promote land conservation and utilization.

  Xiaobian micro-comment  Block system will undoubtedly have a great impact on real estate development, urban form and even residents’ lifestyle. It is normal for residents who are used to closed communities to have doubts for a while. Since the treatment of "urban diseases" must take this step, it is better to change it late than early. In the process of promoting the block system, we should start with hardware and software, and carefully resolve residents’ concerns about safety and noise.

  Mar.Press the pause key when lowering the alignment.

  From March 1, 2016, the central bank lowered the RMB deposit reserve ratio of financial institutions by 0.5 percentage point to maintain a reasonable and sufficient liquidity in the financial system, guide the steady and moderate growth of money and credit, and create a suitable monetary and financial environment for supply-side structural reform.

  At the end of 2014, the operation of lowering the RRR and cutting interest rates was started, and then the pause button was pressed. In 2015, there were five interest rate cuts and four RRR cuts, but in 2016, there was only this RRR cut in March, and the central bank did not use interest rate tools again. At the end of the year, the expectation of interest rate cuts once again appeared. However, in 2017, the RRR cut has never arrived.

  Xiaobian micro-comment  The just-concluded Central Economic Work Conference emphasized the need to adhere to a prudent and neutral monetary policy, "we should control the currency at a macro level, and the micro-credit policy should support reasonable home ownership and strictly limit the flow of credit to investment and speculative house purchase". The relatively loose monetary policy has changed, and the real estate credit funds will face more stringent supervision in 2017.

  AprilPut forward the orderly digestion of real estate inventory

  In April 2016, the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee held a meeting to analyze and study the current economic situation and economic work. In terms of real estate, the meeting stressed the need to digest real estate inventory in an orderly manner, pay attention to solving regional and structural problems, and implement differentiated control policies in accordance with the requirements of accelerating the urbanization rate of registered population and deepening the reform of housing system.

  Xiaobian micro-comment

  Although the the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee meeting in December 2015 also mentioned the resolution of real estate inventory and regarded it as one of the important tasks in 2016, the meeting in April 2016 made a more detailed statement on the resolution of real estate inventory, especially emphasizing "orderly digestion".

  This statement predicted that more than 20 cities intensively introduced the regulation policy of "one city, one policy" in late September and early October. In view of the regional and structural imbalance of the real estate market, although some hot cities have taken the lead in cooling the market according to their own conditions, the remaining third-and fourth-tier cities have to continue the great cause of "destocking".

  MayEncourage the development of housing rental market.

  In May, 2016, the executive meeting of the State Council pointed out that the development of housing rental market is an important part of deepening the reform of housing system, which is conducive to accelerating the improvement of housing conditions of residents, especially new citizens, and promoting the new urbanization process.

  In June of the same year, the General Office of the State Council officially issued "Several Opinions on Accelerating the Cultivation and Development of the Housing Leasing Market", encouraging the development of housing leasing enterprises and individuals to rent their own houses according to law, and allowing commercial houses to be converted into leased houses according to regulations. For the above three cases, tax incentives will be given, and at the same time, strengthening lease supervision will be emphasized.

  Xiaobian micro-comment  In China, the proportion of houses provided by professional leasing companies is only about 10%. After the national policy sends a clear signal, a group of specialized enterprises that "deeply cultivate" the housing leasing business will be the possible direction for the transformation of some housing enterprises. At the end of the year, several residential plots that are 100% self-sustaining by developers were auctioned in Beijing, which is consistent with this reform direction.

  JuneLaw enforcement storm strikes

  In June, 2016, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development carried out a nationwide special rectification work on intermediaries, and seriously investigated and dealt with 10 kinds of violations, such as publishing false houses, providing intermediary services for houses that did not meet the trading conditions, and illegally eating the price difference. In August, seven departments, including the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, jointly explained to the public the Opinions on Strengthening the Management of Real Estate Agents to Promote the Healthy Development of the Industry. In October, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development released a list of 45 illegal and untrustworthy housing enterprises and intermediaries. In November, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development held a video teleconference, announcing that seven kinds of illegal acts, such as fabricating and spreading rumors, earning housing price difference, misappropriating transaction funds, and selling illegally as agents, would be rectified, and they would be investigated and dealt with strictly according to law.

  Xiaobian micro-comment  For a long time, it has been "unusual" for developers and real estate agents to use information inequality to "prop up the market", and the focus of this round of law enforcement storm action is to get rid of this inequality. No matter how strong the storm is, it will stop. More importantly, the next step should be to build a public-oriented real estate information disclosure system as soon as possible.

  JulyEstablish the goal of cultivating characteristic towns

  In July 2016, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued the "Notice on Developing the Cultivation of Characteristic Towns", proposing to strive to cultivate about 1,000 characteristic towns with their own characteristics and vitality by 2020. In December, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the Notice on Implementing the "Thousands of Enterprises and Thousands of Towns Project" to Promote the Construction of Small Towns with Beautiful Characteristics, requiring the establishment of an effective docking platform between small towns and enterprises, guiding social capital to participate in the construction of small towns with beautiful characteristics, and promoting the integrated development and common growth of towns and enterprises.

  Xiaobian micro-comment

  Since the national level proposed to speed up the construction of characteristic towns in mid-2016, all localities are promoting it by giving subsidies, giving rewards and spending a lot of money, and they plan to build dozens or even hundreds of characteristic towns at every turn. There is a great momentum for people from all walks of life to "grab the beach".

  Small towns with characteristics should be born for industry and flourish because of industry. The more hordes are swarming, the more we should carefully screen them, and don’t let the developers sneak in by speculating on new concepts, otherwise we can only add several "sleeping cities" to the city.

  SeptemberIntensive regulation of "one city, one policy"

  On September 30, 2016, after Beijing and Tianjin took the lead in releasing the property market regulation policies, in less than 10 days, more than 20 cities across the country, including Shanghai, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Hefei and Nanjing, successively released local regulation policies. Various versions of the new property market policy mainly focus on restricting purchases, restricting loans, increasing land supply, regulating the supervision of commercial housing sales, rectifying market violations, strengthening the supervision of sales prices, and cracking down on rumors.

  Xiaobian micro-comment  This is the first time that local control policies have been intensively released since the real estate policy was "loosened" in 2014. Previously, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued an implementation plan for the implementation of the "Outline for the Construction of a Government under the Rule of Law (2015-2020)" on September 6, emphasizing the adherence to classified regulation and the implementation of policies according to the city. In 2016, the differentiation of the real estate market among cities became more obvious. While most third-and fourth-tier cities were fighting for "destocking", some first-and second-tier cities became investment hotspots because of the risk aversion of funds, thus starting a new round of regulation.

  ■ ■ ■

  OctoberStop the down payment

  In October 2016, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Implementation Plan for Special Remediation of Internet Financial Risks" to regulate Internet "crowdfunding to buy a house" and other behaviors, and it is strictly forbidden for various institutions to carry out "down payment" business; It is required that real estate development enterprises, real estate intermediaries and internet finance institutions shall not engage in real estate finance business by using P2P (peer-to-peer network lending) platform and equity crowdfunding platform without obtaining relevant financial qualifications; Those who have obtained relevant financial qualifications shall not carry out real estate finance-related business in violation of regulations.

  In the same month, the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC) demanded that the risks of real estate financial business be strictly controlled, the management of various loan businesses be standardized, and it is strictly forbidden to illegally distribute or misappropriate credit funds into the real estate sector; Strengthen the investment management of wealth management funds, and prohibit bank wealth management funds from entering the real estate sector in violation of regulations.

  Xiaobian micro-comment  Down payment loan, as its name implies, is to provide loans for the down payment of property buyers. In practice, its amount can sometimes reach about 1/2 of the down payment, which actually adds leverage to property buyers in secret, which means more risks to property buyers and the property market as a whole. The down payment loan is stopped and the financing of housing enterprises is limited. This is to intercept the illegal funds flowing into the property market at both the demand side and the supply side, and to cool down the hot cities that introduced regulatory policies during the National Day.

  December"The house is for living, not for speculation."

  A house is for living, not for speculation. At the end of 2016, the Central Economic Work Conference set such a tone for real estate. The meeting called for the comprehensive use of financial, land, fiscal, taxation, investment, legislation and other means to accelerate the study and establishment of basic systems and long-term mechanisms that conform to national conditions and adapt to market rules, so as to curb the real estate bubble and prevent ups and downs.

  At the same time, the meeting proposed to combine destocking with population urbanization, improve the interconnection of infrastructure between third-and fourth-tier cities and megacities, improve the level of public services such as education and medical care in third-and fourth-tier cities, and enhance the attraction of agricultural transfer population; Mega-cities have accelerated the dismantling of some urban functions and promoted the development of surrounding small and medium-sized cities.

  Xiaobian micro-comment  This is clearly emphasizing the return of housing to the residential property. A few months after the release of a series of regulatory policies in September 2016, among the changes in housing prices in 70 large and medium-sized cities announced by the National Bureau of Statistics in December, the prices of new houses in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, which led the increase in the past year, have stopped rising. Combined with the trend of monetary policy in 2017, the real estate market is "stable". For developers, the market in hot cities is not so hot. "Real estate+"has been shouting for several years. With a large sum of money returned in 2016, it is the right way to think more about how to accelerate transformation and development.

These 18 statements are expected.

  Recently, the armed conflict in northern Ethiopia has intensified. On November 2, the Ethiopian government announced that the country had entered a six-month state of emergency. On November 5th, members of the UN Security Council issued a joint statement, expressing deep concern about the expansion and intensification of the military conflict in northern Ethiopia and calling on all parties to stop hostilities. On November 8, the United Nations issued a statement on its official news website, warning that the year-long conflict in Ethiopia has reached a "catastrophic level" and that there is "serious uncertainty" about the future of the country and the stability of the whole Horn of Africa region.

  The Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China announced on the 9th that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Embassy of China in Ethiopia reminded China citizens not to travel to Ethiopia in the near future, and reminded China citizens and institutions in Ethiopia to strengthen security precautions and emergency preparedness. If the security situation in the area deteriorates, it can be transferred to Addis Ababa, the capital, or other safe areas as appropriate. China citizens from other countries who plan to transfer via Ethiopia should pay close attention to the changes in the security situation, keep in touch with airlines and carefully choose to transfer via Ethiopia.

  China’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Zhang Jun, pointed out in his speech at the open meeting of the UN Security Council on Ethiopia on the 8th that China sincerely hopes that all parties concerned in the situation in Ethiopia will put the interests of the country and people first, maintain calm and restraint, and avoid further escalation of the situation. As a good friend of the Ethiopian people, China hopes that all parties concerned can commit themselves to resolving contradictions and differences through political dialogue and create conditions for peaceful reconciliation.

"Hypnosis · Verdict" Exposure Special, Zhang Jiahui takes you "closer to science"

1905 movie network news Written and directed by Li Zhaojun, Shi Berlin, and Liu Yongtai, and produced by Er Dongsheng, Guo Xiao served as the chief producer, and Zhang Jiahui and Zhang Han led the lead roles. Zheng Zeshi, Jin Yanling, Zhang Zhaohui, Gu Zulin, Cai Hanyi, Su Lishan, Li Shangzheng, Wang Haoxin, Guo Zhenghong, Dong Chang, and Amy starred. Qin Pei’s crime mystery film "Hypnosis" will be released nationwide on October 25.

Today (October 16), the filmmaker released a special "Approaching Science" feature, which showcased the unique hypnotic elements in the film in detail. Hong Kong’s senior hypnotist Lin Fengzhan joined hands with the film’s creators to analyze the hypnotic scenes in the film in detail for the audience. How much magic does this special skill in a mysterious coat have? On October 25, the cinema found out at first sight.

Subvert the truth, it is difficult to distinguish between reality and reality in reality dramas

The "Approaching Science" special is based on the narration of Lam Fung Chin, a veteran hypnotist in Hong Kong, who dissects in detail the extreme control of hypnosis on human physiology and psychology. Before the film started filming, Zhang Jiahui, who plays the hypnosis expert Xu Lisheng, deliberately read a lot of professional materials and consulted relevant experts. The hypnotist who came out many times to demonstrate the true state of hypnosis on the scene made the film more reasonable and credible. When talking about the hypnotic elements involved, Lam Fengzhan bluntly said that "it is real, quite real".

Zhang Jiahui’s real performance not only moved the hypnotist, but also made the actors who played the opposite role with his partner fall into confusion on the shooting scene, immersed in hypnosis and unable to extricate themselves. During the closed-room shooting time, the actors will not only exchange performance experience, but also discuss hypnotism. The actress Su Lishan, who plays the hypnotized person in the play, is "fully engaged in the play," and said in an interview later, "Brother Jiahui has been guiding me to the emotional position, and I can’t tell whether someone hypnotized me or I was acting."

Hypnosis Control Bureau, the ultimate attraction to lock the crime film C position in advance

"Hypnosis · Verdict" tells the story of Xu Lisheng, an internationally renowned hypnosis expert and one of the jury members, who was threatened with his daughter’s life by gangsters and asked to hypnotize the jury members to sway the trial within 90 minutes. For many viewers, this year has been a year of frequent excellent works by Zhang Jiahui, and the audience has a lot of expectations for this time’s "Hypnosis · Verdict".

Crime mystery films are not uncommon, especially in recent years, there has been a steady stream of genre films with good reputation and box office hits. And this time, Zhang Jiahui challenged the mysterious profession of hypnosis experts for the first time, which also laid a big foreshadowing for the audience. What exactly is hypnosis? How does Xu Lisheng use hypnosis to control the whole situation? Can a person learn hypnosis to do whatever they want?

At the same time, "Hypnosis Verdict" makes use of hypnotic topics of public interest and skillfully combines them with the Hong Kong judicial system and murder cases. The elements are rich and extremely attractive, and it is believed that when they collide with each other, they will bring a different visual experience to the public.

 

Raise interest rates or cut interest rates? What signals did the Year of the Loong, the three central banks of the United States, Europe and Japan release?

In order to fight inflation, in 2023, many central banks continued the trend of monetary tightening, repeatedly raised interest rates and tightened monetary policy.However, such a rate hike rhythm may turn in 2024. With the further slowdown of global economic growth, after nearly two years of interest rate hike cycle, major economies in the world have slowed down the pace of interest rate hike, and the shift of monetary policy to expectations has begun to heat up.So, will 2024 really be a "rate cut year" for global central banks?

United States: Expected withdrawal of interest rate cut

In the fourth quarter of 2023, the US economy surprised the world with a real GDP growth rate as high as 3.3%. To this end, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) raised its annual GDP growth forecast from 1.5% to 2.1% in January this year. Optimism in the economic situation made Wall Street punters expect the Fed to cut interest rates in March more than expected. howeverConsidering the recently released US economic data, the Fed’s next choice has become confusing.


The Federal Reserve raised the target range of the federal funds rate to 5.25% to 5.50% in July last year, and has kept the interest rate unchanged for four consecutive times since then. In the interest rate resolution issued by the Federal Reserve late at night on February 1, local time, it was decided to keep the benchmark interest rate stable. Although Federal Reserve Chairman Powell praised the current resilience of the US economy, emphasizing its strong growth momentum and the expected decline in inflation, he cautiously pointed out that the US economy is still on the verge of a "soft landing", the pace of the job market is gradually slowing down, and whether inflation can continue to fall in the future still needs more data support.Although Powell did not give a clear signal on the timing of interest rate cuts, he firmly indicated that the Fed would not act rashly.


The withdrawal of the Fed’s attitude towards interest rate cuts is a decision made in combination with the latest US economic data.The data on inflation shows that the inflation rate in the United States is still at an uncomfortably high level, and the road to fighting inflation is bumpy. From December 2023 to January 2024, the inflation rate in basic demand areas such as housing, food and electricity in the United States increased. In January, the consumer price index (CPI) in the United States exceeded expectations, and the core CPI did not fall again year-on-year. The core CPI was the biggest increase in eight months. After the release of CPI data, US President Biden said that the cost of inflation is increasing day by day and he can’t afford to wait longer. Wall Street analysts believe that the data further reduces the possibility that Fed officials will start to cut interest rates soon. If inflation accelerates further, it may even rekindle the discussion that Fed officials will resume raising interest rates.

Eurozone: Interest rate cuts are imminent.

The euro zone narrowly avoided recession last year, and the price pressure fell faster than expected, thus supporting the view of those who advocate early interest rate cuts. However, whether we can launch the arrow to cut interest rates in the Year of the Loong depends on a more comprehensive observation of economic data.


On January 25th, the European Central Bank kept the interest rate unchanged again, and the main refinancing rate, marginal lending rate and deposit mechanism rate were 4.50%, 4.75% and 4.00% respectively. European Central Bank President Lagarde said that the Governing Council of the European Central Bank thinks it is too early to discuss interest rate cuts. We need to go further in the process of falling inflation, so that we can have enough confidence that inflation will really reach the target level in time. Future salary data is very important for deciding the timing of interest rate cuts. After the meeting, ECB policymakers revealed that if the data to be released confirmed that the inflation problem had been overcome, the wording might be changed at the March meeting, paving the way for a possible interest rate cut in June.


Other ECB officials also warned against premature interest rate cuts. Nag, a member of the management committee of the European Central Bank and governor of the Bundesbank, said that history shows that it is worse to loosen monetary policy too early than too late. He warned that premature action "will eventually lead to higher economic costs." Schnabel, a member of the Executive Committee of the European Central Bank, also warned recently not to reduce borrowing costs prematurely. High inflation in the service industry, strong flexibility in the labor market, loose financial environment and tension in the Red Sea are all risk factors for prices.

However, in the view of Philip Ryan, chief economist of the European Central Bank, it is risky to cut interest rates too early or too late. Although the current inflation trend is very good, it still needs more time to ensure that the price increase returns to the target level of 2%.

Japan: the prospect of raising interest rates is complicated

In Japan, due to the long-term persistence of ultra-loose monetary policy, the market mechanism is distorted and the side effects are prominent. At present, the expectations of the Bank of Japan to end the negative interest rate policy are high.The Year of the Loong, the Bank of Japan, is widely expected to raise interest rates, which will be the first rate hike since 2007. However, judging from the fundamentals of Japan’s economy, it is too early to draw the conclusion that monetary policy has turned.


Due to the continued sluggish domestic demand, Japan’s economy has fallen into negative growth for two consecutive quarters since the second half of last year, and the fundamentals are hardly optimistic. The main reasons for Japan’s sluggish domestic demand are persistent inflation, wage increase less than price increase, and restrained household purchasing power. In 2023, real wages in Japan fell by 2.5%, falling for two consecutive years, which is the biggest decline since 2014. Judging from the latest data such as industrial and mining production, the downside risks of Japan’s economy still exist in the first quarter of this year, or there has been a negative growth situation for three consecutive quarters. It is difficult for the Bank of Japan to make policy choices when real wages cannot keep up with the pace of rising prices.


Judging from the current situation, achieving the goal of steady wage increase is a prerequisite for the Bank of Japan to gradually normalize its monetary policy. Last month, the Bank of Japan stressed that price increases should be driven by demand and higher wages, rather than cost-driven inflation caused by energy prices and weak yen. At a news conference last month, Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda pointed out that he would continue to carefully evaluate the data to measure the progress of the chain effect of wage increases on prices gradually spreading to a virtuous circle.

Everyone is watching.

[Comparative evaluation] AT VS CVT VS DCT: Which automatic gearbox is more suitable for your car?

VS CVT VS DCT: Which automatic gearbox is more suitable for your car?

In the process of buying a car, as an important part of the vehicle, it has a vital impact on the driving experience. Today, let’s talk about the differences between AT, CVT and DCT, to help you better choose the car that suits you.

I. AT (Automatic Transmission)

AT, namely automatic gearbox, is the most widely used gearbox type at present. It realizes power transmission and speed change through hydraulic torque converter and gear set, so it is relatively stable to drive. The advantages of AT gearbox are mature technology and high reliability, and it can adapt to all kinds of complicated road conditions and driving habits. However, the disadvantages of AT gearbox are also obvious, that is, the transmission efficiency is relatively low and the fuel consumption is relatively high.

Second, CVT (continuously variable gearbox)

CVT, the continuously variable gearbox, realizes smooth acceleration and deceleration by continuously changing the transmission ratio, so it is very smooth to drive. The advantages of CVT gearbox are low fuel consumption, smooth acceleration and good driving experience. In addition, the maintenance cost of CVT gearbox is relatively low. However, the disadvantage of CVT gearbox is that its bearing capacity is relatively weak, and it is not suitable for being mounted on large vehicles with strong power.

Third, DCT ()

DCT, namely dual clutch gearbox, combines the advantages of manual gearbox and automatic gearbox, and can realize fast gear shifting and efficient transmission. The advantages of DCT gearbox are fast shifting speed, high transmission efficiency and more sporty driving experience. In addition, the fuel consumption performance of DCT gearbox is relatively good. However, the disadvantage of DCT gearbox is that the sense of frustration is obvious at low speed and the maintenance cost is relatively high.

So, which automatic gearbox is more suitable for your car?

In fact, there is no absolute answer to which automatic gearbox to choose, because everyone’s driving habits, needs and preferences are different. If you pursue a smooth and comfortable driving experience, then the AT gearbox may be a good choice; If you pay attention to fuel consumption and driving fluency, then CVT gearbox may be more suitable for you; If you like the sporty driving experience, then the DCT gearbox may satisfy you.

Of course, when choosing a gearbox, we also need to consider other factors of the vehicle, such as power performance, price, brand reputation and so on. Therefore, before buying a car, it is recommended that you fully understand your own needs and preferences, as well as the characteristics and advantages of various models, so as to make a more informed choice.

AT, CVT and DCT have their own advantages and disadvantages. Choosing which one is more suitable for your car needs to be weighed according to your actual needs and preferences. I hope this article can help you better understand the characteristics of these gearboxes and provide some reference for car purchase decision.

[Online media changed] Revisit the touching story of the Long March: Peng Dehuai killed the war horse and He Long fished.

  Aba Prefecture, China Economic Net, September 13th (Reporter Ma Changyan): The Long March is a marvelous miracle in human history, a heroic epic with great vigor and vitality, and a precious spiritual wealth for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Eighty years ago, the kindling of the Long March United the sons and daughters of all ethnic groups in China and made unremitting efforts for national independence and freedom. Among them, there have been too many touching stories. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Red Army’s Long March. The large-scale theme interview activity of "Running towards a Well-off Society on the Long March" came to Malkang City, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, and went into the Marcand Red Army’s Long March Memorial Hall to relive those revolutionary stories.

  Peng Dehuai kills horses.

  On the way to the Long March, the troops were about to stop cooking, so Peng Dehuai had to call the breeder and ask, "How many animals are there?" The old breeder replied, "There are six horses, including the black mule of the head of the army." Peng Dehuai ordered, "Kill them all." The old breeder resolutely refused to kill the big black mule. Peng Dehuai said, "I can’t bear to part with it either. Now I don’t even have any wild vegetables to eat. Only by killing the animals can I get out of the grass. As long as there are people, animals and enemies will send them. " In this way, when the animals were killed, only a little chop suey was left in their corps headquarters, and all the meat was distributed to the companies.

  He Long fishing.

  At that time, the wife of Xiao Ke, the deputy commander of the Red Second Army, was going to give birth. He Long quietly made a hook with hemp rope and needle, so he threw it into the water grass and actually caught a fish. He Wenxie, his cousin, recalled: "Perhaps it was moved by the spirit of the Red Army, and fish also contributed. He Long told the cook to cook the fish soup and send it. Later, Mrs. Xiao Ke successfully gave birth to a baby boy. Because she was born in a local bunker of the Red Army, He Long named the baby bunker … …”

  The legendary "one bowl"

  In July 1936, when the Red Army passed the Kehe River, several Tibetan herders met a seriously injured and dying female Red Army with a little boy on their way home. The female red army struggled to say something in a weak and trembling voice. The herdsmen did not understand Chinese, but it could be seen from the expression of the female red army that the general idea was to ask them to adopt children. When the herdsman Solang knowingly picked up the baby and nodded to her, the female Red Army closed her eyes peacefully.

  Herdsmen quickly buried the body of the female Red Army and took the children home to hide. Since then, kind herders living on the poverty line have extended a helping hand, and you have raised the Red Army dolls together with a bowl of Ciba and a lump of ghee. Gradually, "a bowl" became the name of the herdsmen for the Red Army doll, and also became the official name of the Red Army orphan. Later, the grown-up "one bowl", together with the Tibetan villagers in Kusha Township, ushered in the liberation of Aba and lived a happy life.

  The Story of a Ciba Box

  In Muerzong, Marcand, I heard that the Red Army was coming, and all the men, women and children in the village ran away. There was an old Lama in his sixties in Aszu’s family. Because of his frail health and inconvenient movement, he was unable to leave with the crowd, but he was still driven by fear and wanted to go out and hide in the nearby Smith Village. When he was walking hard on the path with crutches, he was greeted by a Red Army soldier, who was caring and attentive and enthusiastically mixed.

  Since then, the Lama has been cared for by the Red Army soldiers stationed in the village, which is better than the care of his relatives. He was placed on a comfortable felt bed, and he was given tea, steamed buns, and talked about the policies and revolutionary principles of the Red Army. Under the persuasion of the Lama, the fleeing people all returned to the village, eliminating their worries, leading the way for the Red Army, and being a general manager, raising food, engaging in transportation, and expanding the Red Army. When the Red Army left the village in the north, it specially sent a box of precious Ciba to the Lama. The Lama looked at the retreating figure of the Red Army soldiers with tears in his eyes, chanting in his mouth that it was really a Bodhisattva army. This zanba box has been handed down.

  Since then, there has been a story about the Red Army in Muerzong Township, Marcand.

  Zhengchang potherb

  When the seven people of the Gongliu Corps Security Bureau crossed the grassland, they had been out of food for several days because of the deserted population, and their bodies were about to collapse. In order to fill their stomachs and get out of the grass, they picked some wild vegetables separately, but they couldn’t tell which ones were poisonous and which ones were edible, so they decided to hold a party group meeting, select one person to taste first, and identify non-toxic wild vegetables for everyone to satisfy their hunger.

  At the meeting, four party member asked to taste it first, and three activists asked to join the Party to taste it, the old and the young. They all wanted to leave the danger to themselves and the survival to others. The scene was touching. Finally, by voting, Chen Yunkai, the youngest and most resistant, was selected to try it first, on the grounds that he could resist the toxicity of wild vegetables. Unknown potherb, bitter, sour, hemp, spicy, astringent and full of taste, when he tasted the seventh kind of potherb, he finally fainted from poisoning. Chen Yunkai was rescued by his comrades, who ate non-toxic wild vegetables and walked out of the grass.

  Never forget sisterhood.

  When she was sixteen years old, Sister Zelang of Siniao Village in Caodeng Township, Marcand, one day, a Red Army team of workers and peasants came from the direction of Xiaaba. She had never seen such a large number of teams with such good discipline and order. She went to the Red Army, and a female Red Army with a broken left hand lived in her house. She was kind to people and cared for her like a eldest sister. They were sisters, and she became a representative of women in the village. The head of the Red Army also trusted her and kept bundles of guns and a lot of ammunition in her house.

  Soon, some neighbors came to ask her many times to steal some "fast fire" of the Red Army. Sister Zelang never promised them, and the guns and ammunition stored by the Red Army were intact. More than a month later, when the Red Army left, the head held her hand and thanked Sister Zelang for her loyal help to the Red Army. She was given half a pack of horse tea, three buckets of highland barley, four buckets of corn and an old military coat. Before leaving, Sister Zelang embraced her Red Army elder sister warmly, sobbing and reluctant to part. This shining history is often recalled by Sister Zelang, which is unforgettable and fresh in my memory.
