Country Garden announces new progress in overseas debt restructuring! A project team has been established.

At the group management meeting in April, the management of Country Garden put forward the working policy of "one floor, one guarantee and delivery" in view of the current main tasks. In addition, we should seize the opportunity and strive for more projects to enter the "white list".

On April 7, Country Garden issued an announcement to disclose the progress of its overseas debt restructuring and the appointment of legal counsel. After Country Garden announced on October 10, 2023 that it was seeking a comprehensive solution, it cooperated with creditors and main consultants and made positive progress in overseas debt restructuring. The company has set up a coordination committee representing bank creditors and a project team representing bondholders. At present, the two sides are discussing the information sharing mechanism and fee arrangement.

Country Garden is conducting feedback on due diligence issues, and referring to international best practice guidelines, including the Second Edition Statement of Principles on Global Experiences of Multi-creditors in Solving Debt Problems without Court Procedures and the Code for Handling Financial Difficulties of Hong Kong Enterprises.

Country Garden said that the main financial consultants are continuing to advance the preparation of the cash flow model. In addition, in order to provide a common information platform for creditors, the company has hired De Anhua to analyze the independent debt recovery rate of the group on the premise of being cautious to creditors, so as to help creditors make better rational judgments when examining the company’s operation in the future.

It continued that Country Garden plans to establish a regular communication mechanism with overseas creditors and update the restructuring process to overseas investors in a timely manner. The company reiterates that we are determined to promote a comprehensive solution that can ensure the long-term development of the Group, safeguard the rights and interests of all stakeholders and ensure fair treatment of all creditors.

Country Garden also said that the company has appointed Nianlida Law Firm as the main legal adviser for overseas debt restructuring. Nianlida Law Firm will work with the company and its main consultants to ensure a transparent and constructive dialogue between the company and overseas creditors.

At the end of February, Country Garden announced on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that the company was informed of the liquidation petition filed by Ever Credit Limited to the High Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on February 27, 2024, concerning the unpaid term loan with a principal of about HK$ 1.6 billion between the petitioner (lender) and the company (borrower) and accrued interest. The company will strongly oppose the petition.

On March 28th, Country Garden announced that it would delay the publication of the 2023 performance report. The explanation given by the company for delaying the publication of financial reports is that the industry continues to fluctuate and the business environment faced by the company is becoming increasingly complex. It needs to collect more information to make appropriate accounting estimates and judgments. Affected by this, Country Garden shares have been suspended since April 2.

Chongqing has these measures to exchange old consumer goods for new ones.

In 2024, the word "trade-in" has received unprecedented attention.

At this year’s National People’s Congress, the government work report stated this year’s tasks: stabilize and expand traditional consumption, encourage and promote the trade-in of consumer goods, and boost the mass consumption of intelligent networked new energy vehicles and electronic products.

This is the third time recently that the Central Committee has mentioned trade-in at a heavy meeting.

The reporter interviewed relevant departments, enterprises and experts in Chongqing, all of whom were eagerly awaiting this round of trade-in, hoping that the national policy would be more powerful and targeted.

In 2024, "Aishang Chongqing" Huimin III entered the event and grandly opened at Guanyinqiao Pedestrian Street in Jiangbei on the morning of the 8th.

-Features-

Wider scope of implementation, higher subsidy standards

Trade-in is not new. In the past ten years, we have actually experienced many rounds of trade-in activities such as home appliances going to the countryside and cars going to the countryside. Relevant persons from the Municipal Commission of Commerce told the reporter that in 2023, the Municipal Commission of Commerce guided and organized nearly 1,000 trade-ins of light household appliances.

But this time it’s obviously different. First, the scope of this trade-in is wider. As can be seen from the contents of the central meeting, it covers household appliances, automobiles and industrial and agricultural equipment updates. Second, the supporting role of current consumption in economic development has become more prominent, which means that more funds and resources will be invested in this round of trade-in. According to the data of the Ministry of Commerce, the contribution rate of consumption to economic growth reached 82.5% in 2023, while the average annual contribution rate of final consumption expenditure to economic growth in China in the past 10 years was 50.4%. It is not difficult to see behind the digital changes that this round of trade-in of consumer goods will be expected to be higher. Third, related consumer goods have entered a window period of upgrading. Wang Wentao, Minister of Commerce, introduced at the economic theme press conference held at the Second Session of the 14th National People’s Congress that there are more than 16 million passenger cars in use in China, of which more than 7 million are over 15 years old. On average, about 270 million household appliances exceed the safe service life every year. Wang Wentao judged that the potential renewal demand of consumer goods has entered a concentrated release period. According to the estimation of Pacific Securities Research Report, according to the average selling price of new cars of 170,000 yuan, the replacement of old vehicles is expected to bring about 1.3 trillion yuan of consumption scale increase in 2024.

Lang Xuehong, Deputy Secretary-General of china automobile dealers association, said in an interview with the media that by the end of 2023, there were about 340 million cars in China, but only 20 million new energy vehicles, accounting for only about 6% of the total number of cars. The replacement cycle of traditional fuel vehicles is about 6 to 8 years, and that of new energy vehicles is about 3 to 5 years. "From the perspective of the whole society, 40% of the increase in new car consumption this year will come from trade-in." Combined with the consumption of about 25 million new cars in China last year, Lang Xuehong judged that the market size of trade-in was about 10 million.

And the scale of equipment renewal is even larger. At the economic theme press conference of the Second Session of the 14th National People’s Congress, Zheng Shanjie, director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that recently, the National Development and Reform Commission, together with relevant departments, studied and formulated the Action Plan for Promoting Large-scale Equipment Renewal and Trade-in of Consumer Goods, focusing on the implementation of the "four major actions" of equipment renewal, trade-in of consumer goods, recycling and standard improvement. Taking equipment renewal as an example, the focus will be on seven fields: industry, agriculture, construction, transportation, education, cultural tourism and medical care. With the deepening of high-quality development, the demand for equipment renewal will continue to expand, and it is estimated that it will be a huge market with an annual scale of more than 5 trillion yuan.

Mo Xin, vice president of Suzhou Institute of Environmental Innovation in Tsinghua, once participated in the research and formulation of the "trade-in" policy for automobiles and household appliances in 2009. He said that the new round of large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods are greatly different from the past in terms of implementation areas and subsidy standards, and are expected to be broader and higher.

-Chongqing-

Trade-in has been started.

For this spring breeze, Chongqing, which is making great efforts to cultivate and build an international consumption center city, will certainly not miss it. Relevant persons from the Municipal Commission of Commerce told chongqing morning post that since the central government’s policy has not yet come out, Chongqing’s trade-in policy cannot be formulated. "We have been docking with the Ministry of Commerce and waiting for the introduction of specific policies. It is expected that the Ministry of Commerce will introduce policies at the end of March. However, according to the practice of previous years, our trade-in activities have started this year. "

The reporter learned from the Municipal Commission of Commerce that the 2024 "Aishang Chongqing" green smart home appliances promotion campaign to enter towns, streets and communities was launched on the 8th. Various home appliance enterprises will take home appliances to the countryside, trade-in subsidies, full reduction and discount, etc., and carry out various forms of green smart home appliances trade-in to benefit the people. Enterprises participating in the activities will give consumers who meet the scope of trade-in subsidies a maximum subsidy of 10%, and consumers will write off subsidies or deduct the actual price according to the corresponding standards when paying and settling accounts.

For example, Chongbai Trading Co., Ltd. will organize its 41 stores to carry out the promotion activities of "315 billion yuan subsidy" to benefit the people. Suning carried out activities such as trade-in and high subsidy of 10%; JD.COM will carry out the 315 Home Appliances Life Festival, and trade in the old for the new to make up for the 1000 yuan and other promotional activities; Midea Electric has carried out activities such as trade-in of all its categories and subsidizing 1000 yuan.

The "Smart Home Dishwasher Festival" was also launched on the same day. Citizens can enjoy the subsidy of the Supreme 1000 yuan Association when buying dishwashers, and can recycle old household appliances for free, and enjoy the recycling subsidy of the Supreme 300 yuan.

On March 9th, Chongqing Custom Home Furnishing Association and Chongqing Household Electrical Appliances Service Federation will organize more than 100 brands of various types to hold "315" home industry promotion activities at the main venue of Guanyinqiao Business Circle, launch "home trade-in start-up activities, and launch welfare packages such as full subsidy coupons and discount for old goods evaluation". According to reports, the Municipal Commission of Commerce will provide special funds to support the "Aishang Chongqing" Green Home (Spring) Huimin Expo, which started on March 7, and support key enterprises to trade in old smart home appliances.

-Enterprise-

We are very much looking forward to the introduction of policies.

What do the businesses and enterprises involved think about this round of trade-in?

Liu Yi, vice chairman and president of Chongqing Akita Gear Co., Ltd., told the reporter, "We are also waiting for this policy to come out. It can be said that we have been waiting for a long time." Liu Yi said that Akita Gear spends more than 100 million yuan on equipment upgrading every year, mainly for technical transformation and expansion of production capacity, and both domestic and foreign equipment are being purchased. In 2023, Akita Gear spent 160 million yuan to update high-end motorcycle gear processing equipment and new energy vehicle gear processing equipment. Liu Yi believes that the demand for equipment renewal in Chongqing’s manufacturing industry is considerable, and the new round of policies will accelerate the overall upgrading of Chongqing’s manufacturing industry.

The reporter then interviewed Yang Qiang, the equipment supervisor of the assembly workshop of Changan Automobile Liangjiang Factory. He told reporters that with the explosion of sales of Changan Automobile, there are three kinds of equipment to be upgraded in this year’s workshop: one is adaptive cruise and panoramic image calibration equipment, the other is initialization and ECU comprehensive electrical inspection equipment, and the third is antifreeze filling machine, all of which are used for the manufacture of intelligent networked new energy vehicles.

Chen Jiawei, head of marketing planning of Chongbai Electric Strategy Department, told the reporter, "We are very much looking forward to the introduction of this trade-in policy. Now our sales platform and manufacturers are jointly doing trade-in. It is not enough to rely on our strength. The country and the government will pull it together and the strength will be even greater. " Chen Jiawei said that Chongbai Electric has paid more attention to the stock market and put it on the old-for-new, and is very much looking forward to this policy. "Not only us, but almost all electrical appliance sales platforms, Suning and JD.COM, have great expectations for this policy, hoping to set off a wave of trends. Judging from our exchanges with electrical appliance manufacturers, regardless of Haier, Midea, Gree and Changhong, they are vigorously promoting trade-in this year, which is their focus this year. " Chen Jiawei believes that now everyone has paid more attention to health. From the sales situation, green smart home appliances are now attracting more attention from consumers, such as fresh air conditioners, dishwashers and dryers in air conditioners, which bring great convenience to life.

-Experts-

It is expected to drive 10 million sets of home appliances to replace.

Hu Yangji, secretary general of Chongqing Household Electrical Appliances Service Federation, has been studying the household electrical appliances market in Chongqing for a long time. Starting from the data in his hand, he analyzed the market scale of this round of trade-in.

Hu Yangji said that in 2023, Chongqing Zhongtian Electronic Waste Treatment Co., Ltd. and Chongqing Zhongjia Environmental Protection Engineering Co., Ltd., the two largest recycling enterprises of old household appliances in Chongqing, recycled 2.32 million sets of old electrical appliances. From this, he speculated that the current actual renewal in Chongqing is 4 million sets per year. If we calculate according to the life cycle of general household appliances of 8-10 years, this round of old-for-new trade-in may bring 10 million sets of replacement to Chongqing market every year.

Hu Yangji believes that last year, the municipal government invested 10 million yuan in financial subsidies, which were used up in a few days, thus boosting sales by more than 400% year-on-year. "This round of central policies has not yet come out, but we are looking forward to it. The activities organized at the government level have stronger credibility and better results than those organized by the merchants themselves. " Hu Yangji hopes that compared with last year’s subsidy of 200 million yuan in Jiangsu and 100 million yuan in Shanghai, from the perspective of Chongqing’s market size, it should at least catch up with Shanghai’s subsidy level and reach 100 million yuan.

Mo Yuanming, a researcher at the chongqing technology and business university Chengdu-Chongqing Shuangcheng Economic Circle Collaborative Development Center, believes that in recent years, both the Central Financial and Economic Committee meeting and the the State Council executive meeting have emphasized the trade-in of old products and accelerated the upgrading of products, resulting in the scale effect of upgrading. This government work report proposes to encourage and promote the trade-in of consumer goods and boost the mass consumption of intelligent networked new energy vehicles and electronic products, which is in line with the spirit of the above meeting. This series of policy measures shows that "trade-in" has become the key measure to promote the steady growth of consumption this year.

On the other hand, boosting consumption needs intelligent networking, new energy vehicles, electronic products and other large-scale consumption to drive. This means that mass consumption of intelligent networked new energy vehicles and electronic products is becoming an important thrust to stimulate consumption and expand domestic demand, and also an important engine to stimulate economic growth.

The box office fell to the lowest level in two years. Can "Card God" save the market?

Time editorial department | hidden drinking movies to cure life.

December has come, and winter has arrived.

It’s hard to wait for Avatar: The Way of Water to be booked. This week, the box office of mainland cinemas fell to the historical freezing point in two years.

According to the data of Cat’s Eye Professional Edition, less than 40% of the national cinemas were still open on November 29th, and the operating rate dropped to 36%, with only 4,506 cinemas operating nationwide.

On November 30th, the mainland box office was 5.24 million, which was the lowest value in a single day since the epidemic resumed work (July 20th, 2020), and less than 1,500 cinemas resumed business at the beginning of the resumption of work.

Affected by the epidemic prevention and control, the box office in November was only 568 million yuan, and the number of people watching movies in the whole month was less than 15 million, which was about 70% lower than that in the same period last year, and probably fell to the lowest level in April this year (566 million yuan).

Avatar: The Way of Water is undoubtedly a powerful medicine for cinemas eager for blockbusters.

Thirteen years ago, "Avatar" by "Ka Shen" created an unprecedented box office miracle in the mainland. Now, will his box office appeal be unmatched?

According to the convention, it is usually necessary to reach about 80% of the cinema business rate, and about 10,000 cinemas are opened, which is the basis to support the film sales.

Number of cinemas nationwide operating on November 29th.

This year’s best-selling blockbusters in summer and National Day files are supported by such business rates.

Can "Card God" Save the Market? This is really an unknown number.

However, the premise of "saving the market" is that the cinema can open the door smoothly.

It’s only half a month before the release of Avatar: The Way of Water. If the epidemic prevention and control tends to be stable and the operating rate of cinemas increases gradually, this blockbuster may help the mainland film market get out of the dark and complete the bottoming out.

Today, Time Jun summarized a film list of mainland cinemas in December.

I hope that the cinema can survive this "cold winter" smoothly, and I also hope that more viewers can watch the movies they want smoothly!

After the United States was convicted of violating WTO regulations, it opened fire on the WTO. Experts revealed the fundamental reason why the United States lost the lawsuit.

  [Global Times-Global Network Reporter Ni Hao] On January 27, representatives of China and the United States held a heated debate at the WTO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. Pagan, Deputy Permanent Representative of the United States to the WTO, declared on the same day that the United States "has appealed to the WTO on a trade lawsuit with China".

  This trade lawsuit, which originated in the Trump period of former US President, involved China, Switzerland, Norway and Turkey. On December 9 last year, it was recognized by the WTO expert group that the United States violated the relevant WTO regulations. According to reports, the United States immediately issued a strongly worded statement after losing the case, refusing to accept the ruling of the WTO and not intending to cancel the tariff increase on these countries. On January 27th, Pagan also pointed the finger at the WTO, claiming that "the United States cannot support the adoption of these fundamentally flawed and destructive reports".

  On January 29th, Yang Guohua, the executive vice president of the Law Research Institute of the World Trade Organization in china law society and a professor at Tsinghua University Law School, was interviewed by Global Times, and pointed out the root cause of the US losing the case on the trade lawsuit between China and the United States, which lasted for more than four years.

  It is rare for the United States to launch Section 232 investigation.

  Everything originated from the rare resumption of the dusty Section 232 investigation in the United States in 2017. On April 19, 2017, the US Department of Commerce launched an investigation on "the impact of imported steel on national security" in accordance with Article 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. On January 11, 2018, the US Department of Commerce submitted a report to the then US President Trump, arguing that steel is of vital importance to US national security. A large number of steel imports from the United States have adversely affected the US industry and seriously weakened the US economy. Subsequently, this investigation was made to imported aluminum products in the same way. On March 8, 2018, the President of the United States announced the imposition of tariffs of 25% and 10% on imported steel and aluminum, respectively, which took effect on the 23rd of that month. However, after that, the United States reached an agreement with the European Union, Britain and Japan, and this global trade war initiated by the United States finally triggered a lawsuit against the United States by China, Switzerland, Norway and Turkey in the WTO.

  The Trump administration’s actions make the world stunned, because Section 232 of the US trade law is little known and rarely acted on it. Many countries consider this as a protectionist act, while the European Union and China clearly express their opposition. The EU said that the US measures are not based on so-called "national security" considerations, but "disguised" safeguards. On March 26, 2018, China formally requested to consult with the United States in accordance with Article 12, paragraph 3, of the WTO Agreement on Safeguards, but the United States refused. On April 5th of that year, China was forced to formally sue the United States in the WTO.

  In November 2018, the WTO Dispute Settlement Body held a meeting and agreed to set up an expert group to review the steel and aluminum tariff measures announced by the United States to confirm whether the measures violated WTO rules. On December 9, 2022, the WTO expert group believed that the United States had violated a number of relevant WTO regulations, and the United States had no justifiable reason to implement this tariff measure.

  However, the United States does not accept the result of losing the case. In a statement issued on December 9 last year, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) said that the United States will not cede the decision-making power on its basic security to the WTO expert group, nor does it intend to cancel Article 232 tariffs because of these disputes. USTR believes that the tariff measures of the United States are based on the security exception clause of Article 21 of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), and that the United States can levy tariffs in a national emergency.

  According to US media reports, Pagan continued to argue that "for more than 70 years, the position of the United States has always been very clear, and the WTO dispute settlement mechanism cannot review national security issues." She stressed that the WTO has no right to predict the ability of its members to deal with national security.

  The United States believes that "national security" is threatened.

  Yang Guohua told the Global Times reporter that, specifically, in the investigation of Article 232 in 2017, the US Department of Commerce cited the third situation in paragraph (b) under Article 21 of GATT, including that WTO members (1) may impose restrictions on atomically divisible substances or raw materials for manufacturing the substances; (2) restrictions may be imposed on the transportation of weapons, ammunition or other articles that can be directly or indirectly provided for military purposes; (3) Measures taken in time of war or other emergency in international relations.

  However, in the original text of the clause, there is a text expression of "which it considers necessary". Yang Guohua said that it is obvious that the United States has judged by itself that it is in a "period of tension in international relations", so it can implement tariff measures.

  Yang Guohua believes that "it can be seen from USTR’s statement and Pagan’s recent statement that the United States has always believed that according to this clause, no country, including the WTO, has the right to determine the national security status of the United States, which must be decided by the United States itself."

  Then, can the United States invoke the security exception clause of Article 21 of GATT, and whether the "national emergency" it has ruled by itself is established or not?

  American "sophistry" has shocked the industry.

  According to Yang Guohua’s introduction, historically, the security exception clause of Article XXI of GATT was rarely cited, until 2015, when the Russian transit transport case attracted much attention was cited.

  According to reports, after the Crimean crisis in 2014, Russia announced that it would ban Ukraine from transporting its products to countries in Central Asia through or using Russian roads or railways. Ukraine believes that Russia has violated the transit transport rights guaranteed by Articles 5 and 10 of GATT. Russia, on the other hand, cited the provisions of Article 21 (b) and Article III of GATT Agreement, and believed that the transportation restriction on Ukraine was a necessary measure implemented during the period of tense international relations, which was just and legal. Ukraine formally filed a lawsuit with the WTO in 2016, and the WTO expert group made a ruling on April 5, 2019, arguing that when Russia invoked Article 21 (b), Article III of the GATT Agreement, Russia and Ukraine were objectively in a period of "tension in international relations" and could decide to take measures to protect their national security interests.

  This ruling explains the application of Article XXI of GATT for the first time, which restricts the arbitrary expansion of the interpretation of national security by WTO members, denies Article XXI of GATT as a self-censorship clause, and reserves the right to review the application of this clause in the WTO dispute settlement mechanism. Members should accept the objective inspection of the WTO when citing the security exception clause. This ruling has won the support and affirmation of WTO members including the European Union and China.

  Yang Guohua said, "The WTO case number between Russia and Ukraine is 512, while the case number between China and the United States is 544. The time distance between the two cases is very close, which means that the Russian-Ukrainian case is very crucial to the adjudication of cases between China and the United States. Therefore, the WTO has the right to determine whether the United States can invoke the security exception clause of Article XXI of GATT, and it can also decide what the United States calls ’ National emergency ’ Whether it is established or not. "

  Sure enough, according to the report of "Deutsche Welle", on December 9, 2022, WTO experts ruled that the relevant measures of the United States were inconsistent with many GATT provisions, and these inconsistencies could not be justified by the security exception of Article XXI of GATT, because the relevant security exception only applied to wartime or serious international tensions, which was not the case when the United States imposed tariffs.

  Four years later, the United States finally failed to gain support from the WTO. Yang Guohua told the Global Times reporter that the "sophistry" of the United States in this case has shocked the industry. Moreover, due to the obstruction of the United States, the WTO Appellate Body has been in a state of "suspension". The United States is well aware of this, but it still insists on appealing, which is a typical abuse of WTO rules.

Lost in Russia exposed Xú Zhēng’s works and mixed them with YiBo’s youthful perspective to sing family ties.

1905 movie network news On January 1st, Xú Zhēng entered the Spring Festival stall for the first time, and it was also the latest masterpiece of "Jiong Series" to release the poster of "Happy New Year’s Day". The style of retro New Year pictures was matched with the elements of Russian classic dolls, and the traditional Chinese New Year culture of China was combined with Russian creativity, which was filled with festive atmosphere everywhere, reflecting the family atmosphere and strong annual flavor of the film. On the occasion of the New Year’s Eve, the film Lost in Russia also exposed a mixed-cut video of Xú Zhēng’s works, reliving the classic touching moments, and at the same time containing the expectations and expectations for the New Year.


In 2020, Xú Zhēng and Lost in Russia set out again, which was a comprehensive upgrade of the "Jiong series" from characters, stories and production. He said frankly: "The" Jiong series "is actually deepening step by step from the emotional and psychological levels. We went from a person to do a business, and later we wanted to achieve a wish, and then the protagonist found an improvement in his relationship with his mother during the whole journey. "

 

China and Russia take risks to weave family ties, and take stock of Xú Zhēng’s classics.


Recently, the movie Lost in Russia released the poster of "Happy New Year’s Day" with a basket of flowers. Among the flowers, the dolls with Russian style are patchwork, and the retro style of the New Year pictures focuses on the traditional culture of China, which is unique and eye-catching. We all have special feelings for Russia, both in history and in reality. The friendship between Chinese and Russian people has many ties, but in recent years, Lost in Russia is the first film to realize it. In this regard, Xú Zhēng said: "Because this story is about the family story with the previous generation, and Russia is exactly what I can find that resonates with them." Therefore, Xú Zhēng has incorporated rich Russian classic elements, such as folk scenery, into his films, and the splendid road is about to open, which makes people look forward to it.


In the mixed video of Xú Zhēng’s works released at the same time, Xú Zhēng’s past classics and touching moments are connected in series, and Xú Zhēng’s classic works are counted in detail to arouse the audience’s re-understanding of Xú Zhēng. From the road theme of "Embarrassing Series" to the realistic social theme, and then to the theme film of "My Motherland and I Win the Championship" and "Seeing the Big from the Small", Xú Zhēng wrapped the life situation of the little people with the shell of comedy, embellishing things and silently sending hope and love into the hearts of the audience. In a movie, he can be a director, an actor or a producer. What changes is his identity, and what remains unchanged is his concern for reality. This time, I chose to shoot Lost in Russia, starting with the theme of family, which is also his new thinking and attempt in the new year: "On the reunion day of the Spring Festival, this film is not only a gift for my mother, but also a gift for all mothers in the world and everyone. I hope that after watching the movie, the relationship between many mothers and children can be a better and mobile relationship. "

 

Wang YiboOffering Xú Zhēng Lost in Russia Spring Festival empathy and family fun.


As for the care of young people, the film Lost in Russia announced that the theme song would be performed by young singer and actor YiBo, which added a youthful perspective to the film. Lost in Russia, who joined the film this time, sang the theme song, and he was also very moved by the theme: "I am very grateful to my mother for giving me support and encouragement all the time on my dream pursuit, so I can better understand the theme expressed in the film." He revealed that he had never had a chance to travel with his mother, and he wanted to take her to see Lost in Russia and experience a Russian "parent-child tour" this Spring Festival. It is reported that this is the first cooperation between Xú Zhēng and YiBo. Shan Zheng’s brother is an outstanding youth idol, and two generations of perspectives interpret Chinese family ties.


The movie Lost in Russia tells the story of Xu Yiwan who was caught up in family crisis and business disputes, but got on the train to Russia with his mother by mistake. Xú Zhēng, who entered the Spring Festival stalls for the first time in 2020, tried to draw the audience’s attention back to their families. Xú Zhēng said: "I thought that people in China would go home in 2008. I think there are not so many movies that young people can really watch with their families now."

In this regard, YiBo also feels the same way: "For me, what I want to do most during the Spring Festival holiday is actually to go home for the New Year." And Lost in Russia is a film that provides young people who rarely have the opportunity to accompany their parents with time to get along with each other, so that they can find common topics, experience a romantic and healing trip to Russia and reunite their hearts.


100,000 Arab Coalition forces point their swords at Israel? The sixth Middle East War broke out? fake

Quick glance

-There is no evidence that "Arab countries formed joint forces against Israel" and "the sixth Middle East war broke out". This statement is only circulated on the Chinese network, and there is no information released by the military and media of the relevant countries.

-At the beginning of April, the Israeli police and the Palestinian people broke out around the Al-Aqsa Mosque in the old city of Jerusalem, which suddenly aggravated the tension between Palestine and Israel. However, as far as the current situation is concerned, the situation has not yet escalated into a large-scale military conflict.

Event background

Recently, the Chinese network is widely rumored that several countries in the Middle East have formed an Arab Coalition, and the sword refers to Israel. Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria, Iraq and other countries established the Joint Command of the Arab Coalition Forces in Jordan to coordinate and direct the campaign in a unified way, and the sixth Middle East War broke out.

On the platform of Zhihu, there are also anonymous users who have published the specific context of the incident and made "real-time updates".

The statement contains a lot of details of unknown sources, such as Saudi Arabia will open the passage and allow Coalition forces to cross the border; Although Israel expressed its willingness for peace talks through various channels, it was ignored; Israel sent troops to clear the Palestinian army in the West Bank, and at the same time shelled the army in Jordan, and Jordan also fought with artillery.

Mingcha

Where did the statement come from?

Keyword search shows that the statement that "the Arab Coalition forces point the sword at Israel" and "the sixth Middle East war broke out" is only widely circulated on Chinese networks. Using Arabic and English to search, no local media or international media have reported it.

On Chinese social platforms, portals and video websites, tracing the source according to the time sequence of information release, the earliest statement that can be found at present comes from April 15-Weibo user "Shi Ningmu" quoted unnamed news that "the Israeli defense forces invaded southern Lebanon, the sixth Middle East war broke out, and the Arab Coalition forces reappeared", and attached four pictures.

Weibo screenshot

Anti-search found that the four pictures provided by "Shi Ningmu" are all old pictures from the Internet, and none of them are related to the recent situation in the Middle East. The backgrounds of the four pictures from left to right are:

1. On October 4, 2014, the Search and Rescue Brigade of the IDF Rear Command completed its eight-month marching training in southern Israel;

The picture was released by IDF Spokesperson Unit, and was used in the report "How to Deal with the Next Generation Threats in Israel by Containing Terrorist Activities" published by Berve Center of Harvard University (English version).

2. On January 18, 2009, Israeli soldiers returned to Israel from the Gaza Strip and sat on an armored vehicle;

The picture is from Reuters. Reuters used this picture as a data picture when reporting the incident of "Israeli army shot and killed a Palestinian in Gaza".

Third, the war situation map of lebanon war in 2006;

4. In December 2014, an Israeli soldier pushed Zeyad Abu Ain (left), a member of the Palestinian cabinet, during a protest in the village of Turmus Aya near Ramallah in the West Bank. Abu Ain died shortly after.

The picture is from the Associated Press. On December 10th, 2014, National Public Radio (NPR) quoted this picture in the article "Palestinian Minister Killed in Protests against Israel in the West Bank".

However, the statement that "Israel Defense Forces invaded southern Lebanon" provided by "Looking at History" is also suspected of exaggeration. This statement can be traced back to the reports of "Israeli air strikes against military targets in Hamas in southern Lebanon" by AFP, Xinhua and other media from April 7 to April 14. However, there is no mention in these reports of "Israel sending armored clusters to fight", and there is no mention of "Arab countries forming Coalition forces to exchange fire with Israel".

On April 5, according to several Middle Eastern media and international news agencies, Israeli police raided the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound on the Temple Mount in the old city of Jerusalem. At that time, it was the Muslim Ramadan, and many Palestinians were worshipping in the mosque. The two sides have a dispute. The League of Arab States (Arab) issued a statement after an emergency meeting in Cairo, Egypt, on the 5th, condemning the Israeli police for breaking into the Al-Aqsa Mosque and attacking the believers present.

On April 6, Xinhua News Agency and other media quoted the Israeli military as saying that 34 rockets were fired from Lebanon to northern Israel that day. In response, the IDF immediately launched air strikes on Lebanese and Gaza areas.

According to the Israeli military, its planes are only aimed at military strongholds under the control of terrorist organizations in Hamas. However, on April 14th, according to the Israel Times, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview with the local Channel 14 news network that Israel had hit the Hezbollah target in Lebanon in a retaliatory strike in the previous week, which contradicted the military’s statement.

Nine countries in the Middle East formed an Arab Coalition?

Internet legend law mentioned that the foreign ministers of nine countries in the Middle East unanimously agreed to "form an Arab Coalition" at the Arab League meeting. The headquarters of the Coalition forces is located in Jordan, with more than 100,000 troops participating in the war.

After verification, there is no information on the account of official website or social platform of the League of Arab States, or on the website of Jordan’s armed forces that the foreign ministers of nine countries in the Middle East met on the Palestinian-Israeli issue in April, and there is no information related to "building an army" and "setting up a headquarters".

In 2015, Al Jazeera, BBC, Xinhua News Agency, Israel Times and other media reported that the 26th Summit of the Arab League decided to set up a joint Arab force () to combat terrorism and regional threats and strengthen military cooperation among Arab countries.

Official website of the Arab League last released news about Arab armed forces in December 2022. According to the news, the heads of the training institutions of the armed forces of Arab countries are looking for suitable methods, hoping to carry out joint training for the troops under the unified purpose.

Screenshot of the news of the Arab League website.

The online legend law also mentions details such as Saudi Arabia’s consent to Yemen’s Hussein’s transit, and Israel’s request for peace talks was rejected. After verification, the Saudi side, according to Bloomberg News on April 9, has started negotiations on a ceasefire in Yemen with a view to reaching a peace agreement after the easing of relations between Saudi Arabia and Iraq. The Guardian’s news on April 10th revealed some peace talks plans, including the oil and gas revenue from the Houthi armed control area and the unblocking of relevant ports, but it did not mention that Saudi Arabia agreed to the transit of Yemeni Houthi armed forces.

On the Israeli side, although the conflict between Israeli police and Palestinian people around the Al-Aqsa Mosque broke out in the old city of Jerusalem in early April, which suddenly aggravated the tension between Palestine and Israel, as far as the current situation is concerned, the situation has not yet escalated into a large-scale military conflict. Recently, the mainstream media in Israel, such as The Jerusalem Post, The Times of Israel, Ynet News, etc., have focused on the 75th anniversary of the country’s National Day, and people gathered to protest against judicial reform. There is no report related to the "Arab Coalition Forces", and there is no evidence to support Israel’s claim of asking Arab countries for peace talks.

To sum up, there is no basis for the online statement that "Arab countries set up joint forces against Israel" and "the sixth Middle East war broke out", and there is no information released by the military and media of relevant countries. These statements are mainly circulated on the Chinese network. After dozens of days of fermentation, many details have been deformed and cannot stand scrutiny. Although at the beginning of April, the Israeli police and the Palestinian people broke out around the Al-Aqsa Mosque in the old city of Jerusalem, which caused the tension between Palestine and Israel to suddenly increase. However, as far as the current situation is concerned, the situation has not yet escalated into a large-scale military conflict.

Calm heart, decent type, try Lexus RX 450h +

  [Autohome Original Test Drive] It has been 6 months since the last meeting, and now it is the light snow solar term, but this snow is not expected at all, only the dry air mixed with the smell of northern loess is constantly drilling in from the neckline, eating away at my body temperature and numbing my heart.

Autohome

  I didn’t expect the car to appear at this time to be glamorous, as long as it was warm and comfortable enough. Surprisingly, this new RX 450h + (plug-in hybrid) made its debut in a red suit, with the enthusiasm and unrestrained nature of the brand, which is very pleasing.

  Every time you open the door, you have to look for the narrow exit switch on the inside of the handle and wait for a while. Maybe the effort is to create a sense of ceremony, but the heavy hinges allow you to close the door from the outside, but you find that you can’t close it without force. At least I didn’t close it 7 to 8 times out of 10 times in a day, which is not decent.

  The rear of the car has not undergone any stunning changes. The biggest highlight is the use of through taillights, which increases the horizontal width and layering, and also takes the lead in fashion.

The sense of technology has been significantly improved

  The interior design is almost 15 years younger than the previous generation, and it has changed from middle age to youth. Full LCD meters, HUD and a large 14-inch screen tilted to the driver’s side form the core structure of the "Tazuna Reins Concept Cockpit". The interior materials and details are still carefully used.

  To be honest, but the beauty of craftsmanship and luxurious atmosphere are obviously better than the previous model, and the large central control screen of the new model is more like a ticket to be on par with the opponent in 2022. For an old-school user like me, the screen is clear and smooth enough, and wireless CarPlay is enough.
