India or abandon the consistent position of "non-alignment". Will the US-India military cooperation be closer?

       CCTV News:India and the United States will hold the third India-US "2+2" Ministerial Dialogue in New Delhi, India, on the 27th. In the past few days, the governments of the United States and India have frequently made high-profile announcements, and the two countries will sign the bilateral Agreement on Basic Exchanges and Cooperation in Geospatial Cooperation during the "2+2" Dialogue, marking closer military cooperation between the two countries. For details, see the report sent back by our correspondent in India earlier.

       US Secretary of State Pompeo and Defense Minister Esper will visit India from 26th to 27th and attend the dialogue. On the Indian side, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Foreign Minister Su Jie Sheng will lead the delegation.

       The India-US "2+2" dialogue mechanism began in 2018, and the first two sessions were held in New Delhi in 2018 and Washington in 2019. The Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the agenda of the third dialogue will cover all bilateral, regional and global issues of common concern.

       The Indian Express reported on the 21st that an important part of the "2+2" dialogue between India and the United States will be the signing of the Agreement on Basic Exchange and Cooperation in Geospatial Space. It will be the fourth basic military agreement reached by the United States and India after the General Military Information Security Agreement signed in 2002, the Memorandum of Logistics Exchange Agreement signed in 2016 and the Communication Compatibility and Security Agreement signed in 2018. India’s ZeeNews website said that the signing of the new agreement will enable India to share the space geographic information of the United States and improve the accuracy of automated hardware systems and weapons such as cruises, ballistic missiles and drones.

       The analysis shows that the four agreements represent different levels of military cooperation, and at the fourth level, the two sides have reached the level of "quasi-allies" in military intelligence information exchange at least in theory. For this reason, Reuters used the phrase "India abandoned its ‘ Non-alignment ’ The consistent position of "this eye-catching title.

       The timing of this dialogue is also very delicate, which is very close to the polling day of the US general election on November 3, and this is Pompeo’s second visit to Asia and the second meeting with the Indian Foreign Minister within one month. The United States’ wooing of India is obvious. Agence France-Presse listed a number of examples of the continuous approach of the United States and India on the 21st: On the 20th, Australia announced that it would join India, the United States and Japan in a large-scale military exercise to be held next month — — "Malabard" naval exercise; Last November, the United States held its first bilateral sea, land and air exercise with India. In July this year, the US military aircraft carrier Nimitz held exercises with the Indian Navy and so on.

The key of "Fengshen Part I" will be postponed again. Don’t miss these details when you brush it!


Special feature of 1905 film network The box office exceeded 2.6 billion, the overseas release was praised, and the score was rising. The online video platform … The new dynamic of "Hot Search" has been screened one after another.


Few movies can still maintain the "top flow" heat after being released for 2 months, and the first part of "Feng Shen" has done it!


Behind such a powerful "stamina" is the excellent quality assurance of the film, and it is also the ingenuity of 8000 people for 10 years. No wonder some netizens commented: "Feng Shen" is really a treasure crew. The deeper you dig, the more surprises you get!



How to turn the 3,000-year-old mythical imagination into shocking video works, visual effects are undoubtedly an indispensable part.


To this end, the trilogy of deities boldly launched an international visual effects team. The visual effects director once won the Oscar for best visual effects, and had a tacit cooperation with him in the school.


This time, this "veteran" figure in the visual effect circle has also made the international advanced visual effect technology collide with the traditional culture of China with a brand-new spark.



In this issue of Behind the Scene, let’s follow Douglas and the host to reveal the "visual magic" of "Feng Shen I": how to create a magnificent grand scene, and how "magical creatures" such as Lei Zhenzi, Mo Qilin and the nine-tailed fox were born?


The visual effects director of "Feng Shen I" reveals the production of "digital characters"

Cluster animation

How to create a grand scene?


As a mythical epic, Feng Shen Part I contains a lot of shocking grand scenes, and thousands of people are in the same box at every turn. The production of this kind of cluster animation puts high demands on Douglas and the team.


"Cluster animation", also known as "cluster animation", refers to the animation technology that simulates large-scale character movement, and is often used to make a sea of people in film and television works.



Take the construction of the "altar" as an example. There are not only towering scaffolding in the picture, but also hundreds of slaves in hard labor and elephants carrying materials, which makes people lament the grandeur of the building and feel the tyranny of Yin Shou.


How to create this amazing grand scene? Douglas revealed that the crew adopted a combination of real shooting and CG technology.


There are only foreground figures and buildings in the real shot.


The real scene is mainly the foreground part of the building and two or three hundred actors playing slaves.


Among them, 12 actors will be selected for "scanning" to design "templates". "These actors will enter a shooting system one by one, and hundreds of static cameras will capture from all directions, and at the same time, they will cooperate with the flash to ensure that there is no shadow from any angle, thus obtaining the material for CG production."



Then, based on these "real people" templates, through copying and some details adjustment, hundreds of slave images in labor are generated. At the same time, we must constantly adjust the intensity and angle of light to make the light and shadow effect more natural and integrated with the background.



Douglas revealed that although the scene of "Sacrifice to Heaven Platform" lasted less than a few minutes, the longest shot took the team four months to build. The difficulty lies in that both the figure form, architectural details and light and shadow effects should be infinitely close to reality.


If you zoom in, you will find that thousands of workers are in different States, some are walking, some are carrying straw or sand; Dozens of scaffolds are connected by passages, and there are complicated devices such as pulleys and ladders.


Even if it’s just a flash shot, every detail must stand scrutiny. Behind this is the result of constant debugging and carving by special effects artists.



If the altar shows "the grandeur of architecture", the picture of Yin Shou leading the proton brigade to return to Korea in triumph highlights "the grandeur of the ceremony".


When creating a sea of people to celebrate the scene, the visual effects team used a similar technique to the altar, first shooting a part of cheering citizens and victorious cavalry, and then using this as a template to create a huge grand scene.



Douglas admits that with the rapid development of CG technology, all scenes can be simulated by technology in theory, but real shooting is still indispensable. "Real shooting has an irreplaceable sense of reality. The behavior and performance of horses, riders and people are real. They can get action feedback from each other. This is irreplaceable by technology. "

Digital biology

Mo Qilin and Lei Zhenzi were born like this.


Master Wen rode back to the DPRK in triumph on Mo Qilin, Lei Zhenzi returned to Xiqiao with Ji Chang, and the nine-tailed fox flew over the eaves and walked gracefully … There are too many "magical animals" in "Feng Shen" that are amazing and amazing. How are these digital creatures created from scratch? How to make them look authentic?



Douglas explained that, taking Mo Qilin, the mount of Master Wen, as an example, the team spent a lot of time in the early stage to consult the expressions about Kirin in various historical materials, and finally the director determined the image of Kirin as "one-horned dragon with a bull’s hoof".


In order to make Mo Qilin move vividly, the visual effects team also referred to the movement states of heavy horses, bulls and other animals. During the filming, the actor will also ride a mechanical device imitating Mo Qilin’s motion to observe the influence of riding position and saddle on the dynamics.


After testing various dynamics and scenes, Mo Qilin, whose gait is authentic, well-documented and grumpy, is finally presented.



If Mo Qilin, who is full of flames, is domineering, the characteristics of the nine-tailed fox are smart and elegant. Douglas said that director Wu Ershan has always stressed to them that the nine-tailed fox is a character composed of aura, not a real animal, and its weight and quality are different from other creatures.


The appearance of the nine-tailed fox in different periods is also different. "When it first appeared, it was almost a spiritual body, and it became more and more real as it gained more energy." Douglas said, "When the nine-tailed fox runs, it will leave traces of steam behind it, which will be more ethereal with light."


At the same time, the visual effects team will also refer to the performance of the actress who plays da ji, and integrate it into the design of the nine-tailed fox, so that they have a subtle connection.



It is more complicated than Mo Qilin and the nine-tailed fox. The birth of the digital character "Lei Zhenzi" is the product of the actor’s action capture and CG technology.


In order to restore the description of Lei Zhenzi in the original work: "The nose is high, the face is like indigo, the hair is like cinnabar, the eyes are violent, the teeth are born, and the body is two feet long." The special effects team started with bones and muscles to build a model of Lei Zhenzi.



The difficulty is that all internal structures and relationships should be very reasonable. "When Lei Zhenzi turns his face, the skin should move with the bones, and the position relationship between eyes, teeth, tongue and skull should be made clear. When he walks around, muscles and fat should also respond accordingly," Douglas said.



In addition to strong muscles, Lei Zhenzi’s broad and powerful wings are also a highlight. The team did not choose the wings of birds when designing, but referred to the appearance of fins. "It is this design that makes it look like it comes from different worlds."



Different from Mo Qilin and the nine-tailed fox, Lei Zhenzi has complex emotional expressions, especially the father-son relationship with Ji Chang, which is the significance of motion capture.


For example, when filming the scene of Lei Zhenzi saving his father, the actor who plays Ji Chang will directly play against Pengyi Han who is wearing a motion capture suit and hanging in mid-air. Pengyi Han’s rich expressions and body movements will be captured, which will become an important reference for CG production in the later period.



Douglas explained the difference between motion capture and pure CG production. "Actors’ performances will make digital characters unique individuals and have emotional communication with the audience, especially in action details and facial emotions. The role of motion capture is irreplaceable."



Behind the 2.6 billion box office of "Feng Shen I", in addition to directors and actors, there are also thousands of behind-the-scenes teams worthy of "Feng Shen". They come from more than 20 different countries, and at the same time, they are pushing China’s mythical epic to a broad world stage.


Looking back on the film creation process, Douglas said with emotion, "I am very lucky to work with such an outstanding team. Every day is learning and every day is full of challenges."

Comment on "Feng Shen I": The Magnificent Light of Constructing China’s Mythological World


Original title:The first part: the wind and cloud of singing songs.: Building the Magnificent Light of China’s Mythological World


Author:Ren Shengshu, Associate Professor, School of Art and Media, Beijing Normal University, Deputy Director of Art Education Research Center.

          Wang Wenxin, Master of Arts and Media College of Beijing Normal University, 2022.


New film viewpoint

Special fund support for the development of national film industry


The publication of "Feng Shen I" is amazing. It is innovative in the selection of mythological novels, unusual in the expression of epic modality, unusual in the opening and extension of the story, and refreshing in the performance of characters. The image world of China mythology has indeed achieved unexpected results.


The image of Yin Shou, played by ChristianRandPhillips, seems to be powerful, but scheming and treacherous, which not only makes him sit up and take notice, but also makes fresh comments on the rumored image of Zhou Wang. Li Xuejian’s Xibohou’s connotation is complex and contradictory, Yolanda’s Queen Jiang’s calm and decisive, Na Ran’s Su Da’s flattery and unexpected performance of assisting the king are all refreshing. In particular, Ji Fa, who is played by Yu Shi, and a group of "protons" are brave and brave, which greatly breaks the softness of small fresh meat and is particularly attractive.



The combination of epic temperament and historical beacon smoke, and the interweaving of the celestial world as a struggle with the world, shaped the sense of shock and awe of the trilogy of gods.


One. China’s Story Journey to Shuoyuan


As of press time, the box office of the 14-day-old mythical movie "Fengshen Part I" has exceeded 1.3 billion, making it one of the most important phenomenal "explosive" works in this summer’s file.


This epic masterpiece is praised by netizens as "a classical body, a modern soul, both historical reflection and the awakening of the times". Its outstanding features are that, on the one hand, it embodies the high-level stage of China’s film industrialization, showing the internationally competitive technological level and craftsman temperament; On the other hand, at the core of the story, the trilogy of deities constructed a "journey to the source" of China’s mythological world, provided a typical paradigm template for telling the story of China well, and also practiced "promoting the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture" with the power of images.


The trilogy of sealing gods is directed by director Wu Ershan, starring ChristianRandPhillips, Li Xuejian, Bo Huang, Yu Shi, Chen Muchi, Na Ran, etc. It is based on the well-known classical novel "The Romance of Sealing Gods". In terms of story adaptation, it changes the story of "The King of Wu" with Jiang Ziya as the core, but through the "Zhou Wuwang" in his youth.



The creative team hopes to fully tap the contemporary significance and innovative ideas in the story of "Goddess" through a more cutting-edge young perspective, and combine the core of myth with modern values, so that the main young audience in the current film market can gain conceptual consensus and emotional resonance.


As director Wu Ershan mentioned in the interview, "Zhou is a humanistic society based on rites, music and ethics, which also determines that the establishment of Zhou has made China society and the Chinese nation move towards a humanistic society. Zhou takes rites, music and ethics as the social structure. For example, its society is structured by the relationship between father and son, monarch and minister, husband and wife, family, etc., including the moral standards of people it established and the isomorphic world view of home and country. Through these details, we can find the cultural code of our nation. Under this world view, we have adapted the story for the contemporary era. It can be seen that this oriental epic not only hopes that the audience can appreciate the industrial wonders presented by film weaving as a bystander during the viewing process, but also hopes to inspire the deepest "cultural confidence" of contemporary audiences with this myth and legend bearing the cultural code of the Chinese nation. The trilogy of deities is not only far-reaching and well-intentioned, but also has many highlights in shaping scenes, characters and emotions as the first show on the big screen.


Two. The momentum of scene construction


The film uses magical methods to shape the struggle between Shang and Zhou Dynasties, full of historical magic charm, and uses strong contrast means in scene shaping. As the capital of Shang Dynasty, Chaoge City is prosperous and luxurious, and the magnificent Longde Hall symbolizes power and desire. production designer Zhang Cheng said in the scene: "Use sculpture to set off the whole building, use painting to emphasize sculpture, and use gold foil to touch the painting, which will make the picture layered and it will be very rich, which can better highlight the luxury of Shang Dynasty", although Lutai.


On the contrary, Xiqi’s eyes are all rice fields, full of simple and peaceful beauty, and it is also a key scene to lay the foundation of Zhou culture and even Chinese cultural temperament. The director team visited many wheat field bases and collected harvesting and farming customs in different regions. Finally, the wheat field at the foot of Tianshan Mountain was selected, with endless wheat sea in the foreground and high mountains stacked on the horizon. All this is true and dreamy, and the snow in Jizhou City is full of sky.



In addition, the wonderland of Kunlun, the Jin Ao Island with huge waves, the desert and the wheat waves that Ji Fa crossed home all reflect the charm of China’s natural landscape. The trilogy of sealing the gods not only understands the rich imagination of myth, but also shows the magnificent beauty of China’s humanities and scenery. It is like a picture scroll of oriental aesthetics, which is spread on the big screen with the story telling.


Three. The characterization is unique


Ji Fa, the protagonist, is full of arc light through the setting of group portraits of teenagers. These childish teenagers are nicknamed "Proton Group" boys by netizens. The actors who play these aristocratic hostages were carefully selected by the casting team from Chinese people all over the world in February 2017. Instead of using traffic stars, they boldly adopted new people and new faces to highlight the original sense and masculine charm of Chinese men.



Boys who are in the same place but have different minds are also different when faced with choices. At first, proton groups all took Yin Shou as their spiritual model, and faced with Yin Shou’s "PUA", but with Zhou Wang’s cruel acts such as "proton patricide", the gear of fate choice began to turn. In the face of Xibohou’s sentence, "Whose son you are is is not important, who you are is the most important", Ji Fa began.



4. Emotional expression dimension processing


The creative team set up a number of emotional lines. The relationship between Ji Chang and Ji Fa, as an important detail, appeared repeatedly in the plot, which promoted the sublimation of their relationship every time. From the father’s "ring", he hoped that Ji Fa could "return" home as soon as possible, and then Ji Fa "returned" it to his father, hoping that his father could return to his roots. In the end, it was this kind of homecoming that supported Ji Fa’s return to Xiqiao and his father. In the film, it is not only the affection between father and son that is touching, but also the brotherhood between Ji Fa and Boyikao. Although "Bai Yueguang" Boyikao has few scenes and short appearance time, his presence like Xiqiao’s warm sun has left a deep impression on the audience. For eight years, he trained Xuelongju to travel back and forth from Xiqiao to Chaoge, hoping that one day Xuelongju could return with his younger brother, and the brothers would go to Qian Shan in both directions. Ji Fa can become Zhou Wuwang precisely because he has the national conditions and sense of justice. He can’t bear to see the people suffer from the scourge and the world fall into the hands of evil people. He always has compassion for the creatures. It is this responsibility and responsibility of being at home that makes him become the "master of the world" in the future. The interpretation of various emotional lines makes the audience feel multi-dimensional and deep-seated emotional collision when enjoying the film.



As a series of epic masterpieces, The Trilogy of Gods is highly completed in the first part. With excellent production, novel perspective and multi-level empathy, the audience deeply feels the meaningful charm of China mythology, and they also have infinite expectations for the following two films. Just as Weibo, director of Wu Ershan, updates "Thanks to tens of millions of audience friends for going to China’s mythological world with us" every day, as an audience, this summer vacation, they also cherish "Feng"

Share the charging treasure and increase the price: will you still use it if you spend 8 yuan an hour charging?

  Zhongxin Jingwei Client September 8 (Zhao Jiaran) Recently, many consumers have found that many brands of shared charging treasures have seen price increases, and even some stores have risen to 8 yuan/hour, which surprised users.

  In addition to sharing charging treasures, bike-sharing brands such as mobike and Little Blue Car have also increased their prices, which is quite different from the situation that they once offered various concessions and seized the market. Is the overall price increase of the sharing economy accidental or inevitable? If consumers don’t buy it, will the price increase become a wrong move?

  "Borrowing a few charging treasures is more expensive than buying one."

  I don’t know when it started, but the price of the shared charging treasure of "1 yuan 1 hour" has quietly increased.

  According to consumers, the prices of some cabinets of Shundian and Monster Charging brands have risen to 2.5 yuan /30 minutes, that is, 5 yuan per hour. CCTV Finance reported that some merchants said that the current maximum charging standard for shared charging treasure has reached 8 yuan per hour, mainly concentrated in areas with large traffic and good location such as scenic spots and ports; And the cabinets priced at 1 yuan per hour are few.

  Screenshot Source: Weibo

  Some consumers said it was difficult to accept the situation that the price of the shared charging treasure was greatly raised. "If the price generally rises to 5 yuan or even 8 yuan, it may cost tens of yuan to borrow it once, and it is more expensive to borrow it several times than to buy a charging treasure, which is not worth the candle." Ms. Chang, a consumer, said that she recently bought a portable charging treasure to carry with her and tried not to use the shared charging treasure.

  Recently, the Zhongxin Jingwei client visited a number of shared charging treasure stores located in Wangfujing business district in Beijing, including street power, small power, incoming calls, monster charging and other brands. It is understood that the hourly price of most shared charging treasures is around 2-3 yuan. In addition, the use price is not marked on the shared charging treasure cabinet, and consumers can only know the charging standard of the current cabinet after scanning the code. During the dinner time when the passenger flow is relatively large, many shared charging treasure cabinets are unattended.

  In an interview with Zhongxin Jingwei client, the related staff of Caller Technology said that the price of shared charging treasure is affected by comprehensive factors and is generally measured according to the difficulty of operation and maintenance and the cost.

  Talking about the price increase of some stores, the staff said that the shared charging treasure is not a one-size-fits-all full-scene price increase, and there is no clear price increase round, but overall, the industry charging standard is indeed slightly higher than before. Price increases are often caused by a combination of many reasons, such as merchants asking for higher pricing to obtain higher share income, and more importantly, the continuous increase in channel operating costs.

  "The rental fee for the shared charging treasure is still a small payment, but the mobile phone is in urgent need of power, so it is basically acceptable for users to adjust the price within a reasonable range." The above staff said.

  Street power related staff told Zhongxin Jingwei client that at present, the hourly price of street power sharing charging treasure is mostly within 2 yuan. "At the beginning of this year, the shared charging treasure enterprise has been adjusted from 1 yuan to 2 yuan’s price system. As far as street power is concerned, the price is balanced and stable according to market conditions, and there will be no sharp increase or decline in prices in a short period of time in the future. "

  The sharing economy era of "1 yuan 1 hour" has become a thing of the past.

  In addition to sharing charging treasures, bike-sharing, which is in the streets, has also experienced a wave of price increases.

  Since the first half of this year, brands such as mobike, Little Blue Car and Harrow have adjusted their charging standards in some areas. Taking Beijing as an example, the starting price of a small blue bicycle rose from 1 yuan /30 minutes to 1 yuan /15 minutes, and 0.5 yuan /15 minutes after exceeding the time limit. The starting price in mobike is adjusted to 1 yuan/15min, and the duration fee is adjusted to 0.5 yuan/15min. Hellobike’s new charging rule is also 1 yuan /15 minutes. Some netizens have calculated that riding an hour will cost 4 yuan the most, which is more than taking a bus.

  At the same time, some consumers reported that the damage probability of bike-sharing in some areas increased instead of decreasing. Miss Li, a citizen of Beijing, said that she often encountered broken cars or bicycles with incomplete functions when commuting recently, and she was more concerned about the quality guarantee of vehicles than the price. "Now finding a car that is trouble-free and easy to ride is like finding a treasure. Sometimes you can’t ride several cars in a row, which is too time consuming. If we can deal with bad cars in time and ensure the quality, it is acceptable to increase a few dollars. "

  In the poll "bike-sharing is more expensive than a bus, can you ride it?" sponsored by official website Weibo of Zhongxin Jingwei, netizens who chose "No" accounted for the highest proportion, accounting for 36.6%, followed by "It depends", accounting for 32.2%.

 Bike-sharing Zhongxin Jingwei Zhao Jiaran photo

  Consumers have shown different attitudes towards the sharing of charging treasures, the price increase in bike-sharing and the status quo that the "one hour in 1 yuan" era is gone forever. In the discussion on social media, some netizens believe that enterprises need income to operate for a long time, and the price increase is understandable; Some netizens also pointed out that such shared products are not just needed, and will be replaced when the price/performance ratio is too low.

  Jinyi should strive to be your light: I thought it was convenient and cheap before, so I didn’t worry about running out of electricity without charging treasure. Now that prices are soaring, I’d rather buy a small charging treasure. Now there are many styles of charging treasures and the price is not high.

  Snow white: I used to rely on sharing, but now the price increase is too fierce and I can’t afford it.

  The first impression: the price increase visible to the naked eye, many times because there is no place to return the charging treasure in the popular location, in order to find it for a long time, it costs money.

  Fat pigeon paper Xiansen: Sharing provides speed, convenience and cheapness. Isn’t that enough? You still have to enjoy free to be happy?

  Lv Jun byr: People are not profitable. Where can I get the money to continue to provide services for you?

  Is the next step of price increase profitable or "cool"?

  According to the "China Sharing Economy Development Annual Report (2019)" released by the National Information Center, the transaction scale of China’s sharing economy in 2018 was 2,942 billion yuan, an increase of 41.6% over the previous year; The number of participants in the sharing economy is about 760 million, and the number of participants in providing services is about 75 million, an increase of 7.1% year-on-year. At the same time, the scale of direct financing in the sharing economy in 2018 was about 149 billion yuan, down 23.2% year-on-year. The report pointed out that after the rapid development in previous years, the development speed of the sharing economy in the field of life services has slowed down.

  Some insiders believe that the sharing economy is cultivating users’ consumption habits, and the price increase at this time reflects that the sharing economy is coming out of the primary stage of "price war". As for whether consumers accept the price increase, it depends on whether the service of the sharing enterprise can meet the needs of consumers. If we only keep an eye on the price increase without improving the standard of service, it may be "cool" instead.

  Li Xiaohua, a researcher at the Institute of Industrial Economics of China Academy of Social Sciences, said in an interview with Zhongxin Jingwei that the sharing economy has entered a relatively rational and mature stage, and the industry pattern tends to be stable.

  Regarding the current price increase trend of shared charging treasure and bike-sharing enterprises, Li Xiaohua pointed out that the price increase is an inevitable process. "At present, the price increase of merchants may also be testing the acceptance of consumers and establishing their own adjustment mechanism. If the number of users drops sharply, the merchant may adjust the price again. If the price is set too high, or a new enterprise enters the market, compete at a lower price. "

  Li Xiaohua pointed out that the sharing economy will form a more dynamic and differentiated pricing trend in the future. "Just as the price of online car will be adjusted in real time during peak hours and holidays, bike-sharing and shared charging treasure can also determine the specific price according to the relationship between supply and demand. For example, during major festivals, the number of customers in shopping malls and restaurants has increased sharply, and the number of people using charging treasures has increased, so the real-time price of shared charging treasures can be raised accordingly; On the contrary, prices can also drop during periods of less demand such as working days. " (Zhongxin Jingwei APP)

At the hearing on tax increase in China, American enterprises raised a wave of opposition.

  [Global Times Comprehensive Report] "What will happen if Trump imposes a 25% tariff on about $300 billion of China goods, as he threatened? A fireworks company in New Hampshire said that they can only raise prices, but this may lead to the loss of business and make some small towns give up the fireworks display on July 4 th. A Minnesota motorcycle company says it may lose to foreign competitors who don’t have to pay taxes on imported parts from China. A Los Angeles household products design dealer said that they can only suspend recruitment for a long time and postpone the plan to open a larger warehouse … …” On June 17th, when the U.S. Trade Office began to hold a hearing on China’s tariff plan, the U.S. government was almost drowned out by the opposition of a large number of domestic enterprises. The Associated Press listed only a few examples in the above report. The White House claims that increasing tariffs can benefit American goods, but many American companies say that this line will not work; The White House also said that this can increase fiscal revenue, but in fact most of the money is used to subsidize farmers. Who will benefit from the United States holding high the tariff stick against China?

  Buy American goods instead of China? These American companies said they couldn’t do it.

  According to the Global Times reporter, the hearing on the 17th started at 9: 30 local time. This round of hearing lasts for 7 days, from June 17 to 21 and from June 24 to 25. It is expected that more than 300 American enterprises will send representatives to testify. At present, the office of the US Trade Representative has received more than 1,200 written comments and applications for face-to-face testimony. Reuters said on 17th that this schedule means that Trump will start a new round of tariffs after July 2nd, because there will be seven days to submit the final rebuttal after the hearing.

  "Buy American goods instead of China imports? Some American companies said they could not do it. " The US "Wall Street Journal" published an article on the 17th, saying that the office of the US Trade Representative has been flooded with letters from local companies recently. These companies ask the US government to give up the new round of tariffs on China, because they have no choice but to China.

  Atlas PyroVision, a fireworks show company headquartered in New Hampshire, USA, now relies almost entirely on imported fireworks from China to provide fireworks shows for cities and sell fireworks products to consumers. Pelkey, CEO of the company, said that he had searched all over the world and "failed to find a supplier who could produce fireworks meeting the quality standards of China". He also said: "It would be great if I could get boxes of fireworks from American companies. Unfortunately not. "

  Curtain importer S. Lichtenberg & Co stopped producing curtains and poles in the United States as early as 2007. Scott Goldstein, president of the company, said that restarting production was not considered. "I don’t even know if I can recruit sewing workers and how much I should pay them." He said that none of the American textile mills or printing and dyeing mills that used to supply cloth are now operating.

  Regalo International LLC, a manufacturer of baby safety doors and crib railings, said that when the United States threatened to impose tariffs on China 18 months ago, they immediately went to Mexico and other countries to find new partners, but nothing was gained. Vietnam can accept orders for wood products and textiles, but "the metal manufacturing infrastructure is weak". The company said that factories in other countries are "far behind" China.

  After analyzing the federal import data of the United States, The Wall Street Journal concluded that the goods affected by the new tariffs include 273 kinds of goods that account for more than 90% of China’s imports, such as electric blankets, fishing lines and fireworks. Last year, the total value of these goods imported by the United States from China was about $66.3 billion.

  According to the British "Financial Times" reported on the 17th, the American Chamber of Commerce, the most powerful business group in Washington, submitted a strongly worded document to the Office of the US Trade Representative, saying that the new tariffs on China will greatly increase the harm that has been caused to American consumers, workers and enterprises. According to the American Chamber of Commerce, the tariffs imposed by the White House may cost the US economy $1 trillion in the next 10 years.

  A retailer importing outdoor cushions and artificial Christmas trees in Kentucky told the media: "We want to tell you that the retail sector is preparing to be hit hard. We pray that the government will listen to God. "

  Nearly 80% of American voters are worried about rising prices

  William Lesch, a trade policy expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in the United States, believes that this round of tariff measures by the US government will cause "strong dissatisfaction" among the public, which is different from previous ones. He further explained to AFP that the tariff increase in July means that people will see the prices of various commodities rise when preparing to buy autumn goods, winter clothes and Christmas goods, and the pressure on ordinary consumers will be further enhanced.

  The Associated Press quoted a report from the National Retail Federation of the United States on the 17th, saying that after the tariff increase, American consumers will spend $4.4 billion more on clothes, $2.5 billion more on shoes and $1.6 billion more on household appliances.

  Germany’s "Focus" magazine said on the 17th that Trump was fighting a trade war for the 2020 general election, and he was playing a dangerous game. But will this really win the support of most American voters? The pro-Trump American media Fox News released an interview survey of 1,001 American voters on the 16th. According to the results, 45% of the respondents said that the tariff increase was harmful to the US economy, and only 33% of the respondents thought it was beneficial to the US economy. In addition, nearly 80% of the respondents are worried that prices will rise further due to tariffs.

  "The White House said that imposing tariffs on imported goods from many countries can increase income, but in fact it doesn’t help, because most of the tax revenue is used to subsidize farmers affected by retaliatory tariffs." Singapore’s Lianhe Zaobao said on the 17th that after the US government imposed tariffs on China and other countries, it added $21 billion to the national treasury. But last year, the White House allocated $12 billion to help farmers, and this year, the related allocation is as high as $16 billion.

  At the same time, the US government’s fiscal deficit is continuously expanding. According to a report in Singapore’s Straits Times on the 17th, although the US economy performed well last year and in the first three months of this year, some economic analysts predict that the US economy will slow down next year, and there may even be a recession. Last month, the US government’s fiscal deficit reached $208 billion, a year-on-year increase of 42%.

  The Associated Press said that in the case that the US economy is already showing signs of fatigue, increasing tariffs will further weaken its economic development. Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s analysis department, said that increasing tariffs will lead to a reduction of 900,000 jobs in the United States.

  "If the United States does not release goodwill, the Sino-US trade war will never end."

  "Trump’s neglect of business groups will only make him suffer." CNN quoted Holtz Eakin, chairman of the American Action Forum, as saying, "Whether he can be re-elected depends on the economy. The uncertainty brought by tariffs and trade policies has negatively affected the good momentum of economic growth in 2018."

  Chadwick, a businessman who imported silk scarves from China and sold them in Wyoming, wrote a passage to the US government, perhaps expressing the feelings of more Americans: "We ask, implore and pray that you use common sense in trade affairs and take care of the needs of small people! Buffalo fight, but it is us little ants who are trampled to death. "

  "How the Trump administration hurts everyone." Deutsche Telekom said on 17th that Trump imposed punitive tariffs on China about a year ago, but this was only the beginning. Iran, Mexico, EU … … The U.S. government uses trade as a weapon everywhere and makes many naked blackmail words. However, this has also caused serious damage to the United States.

  "No peace, no deal, no winner." The German newspaper Le Monde quoted Phil Bermel, director of the Institute of World Economics in Kiel, Germany, as saying that the Sino-US trade war will never end if the United States does not release its goodwill. In the long run, the trade war will cost both sides too much and the world will not be calm.

Goods with a value of 980,000 yuan are insured for 20,000 yuan, and damage to express mail can only be compensated to 250 yuan?

  For goods with a value of 980,000 yuan, I bought a courier service with a value of 20,000 yuan. After receiving the goods, I found that the goods were damaged, and the maintenance cost was more than 10,000 yuan. The courier company said that it could only compensate 250 yuan.

  The Beijing Youth Daily reporter visited and found that the default consumer agreed to its terms, the customer service of the express delivery company could not explain the specific compensation standard, and refused to undertake high-priced goods, which were almost common phenomena in the express delivery industry.

  phenomenon

  It is not a case that the loss of express mail is not compensated according to the premium.

  Many companies do not undertake high-priced goods.

  Mr. Zhong from Beijing sent a medical device worth 980,000 yuan to Nanning by SF Express. He deliberately chose the insured price of 20,000 yuan, and the insured fee was 100 yuan. When signing, it was found that the package was damaged and the shell was deformed. If it is repaired, it will cost more than 10,000 yuan. Mr. Zhong thought that the insured amount of 20,000 yuan could fully cover the maintenance cost. After Mr. Zhong provided the invoice of the equipment and the maintenance documents, SF said that it could compensate, but only 250 yuan.

  Mr. Zhong’s experience is not a case. Ms. Jiang from Nanjing sent goods worth 622,000 yuan from Inner Mongolia to Nanjing by SF Express, and chose the insured price of 20,100 yuan. As a result, accidental damage occurred, and the maintenance price was 12,000 yuan. SF’s reply was compensation of 389 yuan.

  Mr. Shi from Nantong, Jiangsu Province, sent the computer host to the customer through SF Express at a price of 4,000 yuan, which was damaged during the express delivery. Mr. Shi’s claim for compensation of 2,200 yuan was not supported, and SF Express could only compensate more than 800 yuan.

  The reporter noticed that the standard of insured charges of express delivery companies is generally charged according to the insured amount or declared value of express mail from one thousandth to three thousandths. For express delivery with the insured price of 20,000 yuan, the courier company charges 20 yuan to 60 yuan. However, ladder pricing is also implemented. The higher the insured amount or declared value, the greater the proportion of insured fees. For example, Mr. Ru Zhong sent an express with the insured amount of 20,000 yuan, and charged the insured fee of 100 yuan.

  Subsequently, the reporter consulted the SF customer service phone as a consumer. However, its customer service representative and the supervisor on duty did not give a clear explanation for its "insured compensation". The supervisor on duty even said that the insured compensation was explained by professionals, and they were not clear.

  In addition, many users said that they were "agreed" to the compensation clause. The reporter of Beiqing Daily interviewed more than 50 citizens who frequently used express mail items, including some Taobao shopkeepers. They all said they knew the "guaranteed price" service, and more than 50% of the respondents said they had used this service. But for the compensation clause, they have never understood it. "Isn’t it full compensation?" Most interviewees expressed surprise after hearing the above cases.

  At the same time, the reporter consulted the customer service of several express delivery companies and found that the final operation and explanation of express delivery insurance are at the terminal outlets, and the users need to negotiate with the outlets. When the reporter called some express outlets such as Zhongtong, Shentong and Yunda, when he learned that the items being delivered were computers, precious metal jewelry or works of art, the courier said that such goods could not be received and sent. "If you must send it, we can’t bear the loss of damage in the process." A courier of Zhongtong said.

  The reporter of Beiqing Daily learned from the person in charge of some express outlets that even if the expensive goods are insured, the amount of compensation after problems is limited, and there is no guarantee that they will be fully compensated. Many companies also have regulations on the value of single-ticket express delivery. The reporter of Beiqing Daily inquired about the terms of a number of express delivery companies and found that the value of EMS standard express single items does not exceed 50,000 yuan, and the value of express parcels does not exceed 20,000 yuan; The value of one-piece express delivery of Yuantong and Zhongtong shall not exceed 30,000 yuan; The upper limit of the actual value of Shentong’s insured express delivery is 20,000 yuan.

  survey

  The word "proportion" in the clause

  The amount of insured compensation has been greatly reduced

  Although it cost extra money to insure the price, once compensation is needed, it is not based on the insured amount. Is this the unspoken rule of the express delivery industry, just like the loss of uninsured express mail can only compensate N times the freight?

  The reporter of Beiqing Daily found that not all express delivery companies are like this. The reporter of Beiqing Daily inquired about the Express Service Agreement of SF Express, Yuantong, Zhongtong, Shentong, Yunda and EMS, and each company has clear regulations on the compensation method for insured express mail. Generally speaking, most companies implement "if the express mail is lost, damaged or short, compensation shall be made according to the actual value, and the maximum amount shall not exceed the insured amount of the express mail". A few companies will refund the premium on this basis.

  According to the terms of the above express delivery company, if the insured express is damaged, it will be compensated according to the actual loss. For example, if a computer with an insured price of 10,000 yuan is damaged when it arrives, and the maintenance needs 2,000 yuan, then the courier company with the above terms will pay 2,000 yuan. This is more in line with the general public’s understanding of "insured price".

  So why didn’t SF do this? The reporter of Beiqing Daily found that in SF’s terms, the expression of compensation for insured express mail is: "SF will compensate you according to the proportion of insured amount and actual loss in case of damage or shortage, and the maximum loss of consigned goods shall not exceed the declared value of insured price when you consign them."

  Regarding the concept of "proportion" in the clause, Beiqing Daily reporter consulted its customer service as a customer. However, the customer service of SF Express said that there will be a staff member specially responsible for compensation to contact the reporter. As of press time, the reporter of Beiqing Daily did not receive a call from SF.

  Previously, SF Express Commissioner replied to the media that there are two rules for "insured" compensation: "full amount" and "insufficient amount". "For example, in ‘ Full amount ’ In the case of insurance, if the value of the goods is 100,000 yuan, you have insured 100,000 yuan, and the later damage maintenance cost is 10,000 yuan. Under normal circumstances, we can fully pay you 10,000 yuan here. If this item is worth 100,000 yuan, you have insured 10,000 yuan, which belongs to ‘ Not fully insured ’ The later maintenance cost is also 10,000 yuan, which will produce a compensation ratio, which is the amount you guarantee divided by the actual value of the item and then multiplied by your actual loss. "

  According to SF’s calculation formula, the compensation amount = (insured amount/actual price) × maintenance cost. Take Mr. Shi’s computer as an example. For a computer with 10,000 yuan, the insured price is 4,000 yuan, and the maintenance cost is 2,200 yuan. Mr. Shi can get 2200×0.4, which is more than 800 yuan in compensation. Mr. Zhong’s 980,000-yuan medical device is insured at 20,000 yuan, which means the proportional coefficient is 2%. The maintenance cost of more than 10 thousand yuan is multiplied by this proportional coefficient, and the final amount is more than 200 yuan.

  Is it reasonable and legal to pay in proportion?

  The Postal Law is not the only criterion for judging disputes.

  Although the terms of the courier company are like this, is such compensation reasonable and legal? The reporter of Beiqing Daily inquired about a number of laws, regulations and current standards, and found that there are mainly the Postal Law, the Provisional Regulations on Express Delivery and the national standards for Express Delivery Service.

  Among them, Article 47 of China’s "Postal Law" stipulates that postal enterprises shall compensate for the loss of vouched mail according to the following provisions: if the insured vouched mail is lost or completely damaged, it shall be compensated according to the insured amount; If it is partially damaged or the internal parts are short, the actual loss of the mail shall be compensated according to the ratio of the insured amount to the total value of the mail.

  In this regard, Chen Yinjiang, Deputy Secretary-General of china law society Consumer Protection Law Research Association, said that it is fair to compensate some damages according to the proportion of lost value, but it is often difficult to define the proportion of damages in reality. Although some items are partially damaged, they may not be used by consumers. Even if the courier company pays in proportion, the rights and interests of consumers are still not guaranteed. Therefore, it is best to have a clear agreement between the two parties in advance, and perform according to the agreement if there is a problem.

  Liu Junhai, a professor at the Law School of Renmin University of China, said that the provisions of article 47 of the Postal Law related to "guaranteed price" were placed in Chapter V, while "express delivery business" was in Chapter VI, so the rules on guaranteed price of postal enterprises in Chapter V should not be extended to express delivery business in Chapter VI.

  The reporter of Beiqing Daily inquired about the referee document network and found that Dawasang Zhou in Xining, Qinghai delivered 1 kg of Cordyceps sinensis through Xining Shentong, with a value of 300,000 yuan and an insured price of 5,000 yuan. As a result, the parcel was lost, and Dawasang Zhou claimed 300,000 yuan from Xining Shentong. After three trials, the case was finally judged, and Xining Shentong paid 240,000 yuan at the market price. The judgment of this case is based on the Postal Law and the Contract Law. It can be seen that the Postal Law is not the only criterion for judging disputes.

  News memory

  Expert: The default check violates consumers’ right to know and choose.

  The reporter of Beiqing Daily found that nearly 80% of the respondents said that they did not know from what channel to look at the terms of the courier company. "Now all orders are placed online. I have seen the express delivery terms in the original handwritten form, and now I don’t know where to look." The owner of a Taobao shop said that at present, electronic forms are used, and there are no terms printed on them.

  Did the courier company really not announce the terms? The reporter of Beiqing Daily used the mobile phone WeChat to log in to the "Sent Items" business pages of several courier companies, and found that the "Express Service Terms" were under the address filling directory of this page, and some of them also used fonts of other colors to indicate "eye-catching".

  Then why didn’t so many people notice? The reporter of Beiqing Daily also noticed that this clause is checked by default, which is different from the compulsory reading of other online services. Even if the reporter of Beiqing Daily did not register, this clause has been checked. Only by clicking the default check box can you click to read the Express Service Terms.

  In this regard, Chen Yinjiang, Deputy Secretary-General of china law society Consumer Protection Law Research Association, believes that there are no other laws and regulations that clearly stipulate the insured compensation for express delivery, and all express delivery companies have formulated their own compensation standards and printed them on express delivery orders by unilaterally formulating standard terms. However, the clauses listed by express delivery companies on the express delivery list obviously reduce their own responsibilities and exclude the rights of consumers, which are typical overlord clauses and have no legal effect. In addition, the default check is certainly unreasonable, infringing on consumers’ right to know and choose.
