The double-faced life of the notorious serial killer in the United States and the prototype of The Silence of the Lambs’s protagonist

Ted bundy (,November 24, 1946-January 24, 1989).

The handsome man in the photo has neat hair, confident charm and even a smile on his face. If we don’t mention his identity, we may guess that this is an elite with high IQ.

However, he is the most notorious serial killer in America and one of Hannibal’s archetypes-ted bundy.

Ted bundy, formerly known as Theodore Robert Courvill, was a serial killer who was active from 1973 to 1978.

He was cold-blooded, cruel and cunning, and committed crimes across six States, killing more than 30 young women he had never met, without a single witness. After his arrest, he completely denied his crimes, and it was not until more than ten years later that he admitted that he had committed more than 30 murders. However, the real number of victims is still unknown, and it is estimated that the number ranges from 26 to 100, with a general estimate of 35. Usually, Band-Aid will stick the victim and then strangle him. He also committed rape and necrophilia.

He is extremely cunning, relying on his training in law school, always arguing innocence in the face of conclusive evidence from the police and forensic doctors, and playing with the law, playing with judicial personnel and even his own team of lawyers, so that the judgment and execution have been postponed several times, and it has been delayed for more than ten years, and he has repeatedly waited for an opportunity to escape. Finally, at the end of his rope, he suddenly announced that he had actually killed more than 300 people …

Before his last arrest in February 1978, he escaped from prison twice. Finally, he was executed in the electric chair in Florida in 1989 for his last murder.

Ted bundy didn’t put the American police at ease until he died. Not only that, more than 30 years after he was sent to the electric chair, there are still journalists investigating him, psychologists analyzing him and judicial people studying him.

As we can see in the photo, this murderous psychopath has two faces. When he is in a crowd, he has extraordinary speech and charming humor; He is an outstanding graduate of a famous university, majoring in law and psychology; He has a girlfriend and a warm family. Ironically, Ted also worked for the Seattle Crime Commission, and wrote a pamphlet to prevent rape, which was a voluntary publicity for the citizens.

His psychology professor praised him and wrote in a letter of recommendation:

"Mr. Band-Aid is undoubtedly one of the best graduates in our department. I think he is one of the best graduates I have ever seen in Washington University. He is smart, capable, active and serious. He is more like a professor than a student. He is studious, easy to get along with, and will work hard … "

Demons around me

(America) by Ann Ruhr, translated by Xu Fangfang.

Writers Ann Ruhr and Ted met in 1971, and their friendship and correspondence ran through the rest of his life. In the meantime, she is not only his friend, but also a criminal reporter looking for a vicious serial killer. She used Ted’s description of his double life, plus she tracked the police’s detection work, court trials and media reports in many places, and strung Ted’s whole life story in all directions with rich details.

This is the new book "The Devil Around Me" recommended for everyone today.

The Devil Around Me is a classic true crime work, and it is a crime investigation note and memoir written with first-hand information. When it was first published, it was among the best in the list of real crime works in Britain and America. It has been reprinted for many years and has been made into many film and television works.

Ann Ruhr (1931-2015), Ann Rule. She majored in minor psychology, criminology and penalty, and completed the courses of crime scene investigation, public security management, crime scene photography and arrest, search and seizure, and obtained a degree.

As a certified lecturer, she lectured in several states, including: serial murder, sadistic antisocial personality, femicide and performance criminals. She is a member of the task force of the U.S. Department of Justice that formulated the Violent Crime Arrest Plan (VI-CAP), and has twice testified before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on issues such as victims’ rights and the danger of serial killers.

Author Ann Ruhr is known as "the best true crime writer in America". After leaving the police force, she volunteered at the Seattle Crisis Hotline, and she gradually realized that Ted, who volunteered with her, was the serial killer that the police were tracking.

As a gripping and explosive classic of real crime, The Devil Around Me captures the psychology of ordinary people-everyone wants to know whether there is a monster living around us or even getting along with us day and night.

For years, Ann Ruhr has been receiving letters and emails from fans in ted bundy. It is incredible that such a murderous maniac has many admirers, but it is not unexpected. Today, I will share with you the frequently asked questions about ted bundy that Ann Ruhr answered in her book, and walk into the double-faced life of this killer.

Ted Ted Bundy.

Frequently asked questions about ted bundy.

Excerpt from "The Devil Around Me"

(America) by Ann Ruhr, translated by Xu Fangfang.

I get emails asking about ted bundy every week, and some of them are repeatedly asked. I will try my best to answer, but these are only my personal opinions based on what I have learned in these years.

Who is Ted’s biological father?

This point has never been actually confirmed. His mother Eleanor Louise Cowell only said that Ted’s father was a "sailor", and his birth certificate stated that his father was Lloyd Marshall, a 30-year-old air force veteran who graduated from Pennsylvania State University. The name Jack worthington also appeared in the column of his father’s name. On November 24th, 1946, Ted was born in Burlington, Vermont, "Elizabeth Lund’s Home for Unmarried Mothers", and the words "born out of wedlock" were printed on his birth certificate.

Many people feel that Ted was born of incest between his notoriously grumpy grandfather and his mother. As far as I know, blood samples have never confirmed or overturned this point, and DNA testing technology is only 50 years later. Ted used many names: Cowell, Nelson and Band-Aid, and he stole many names to hide his identity during his escape.

Ted Bundy

Ted bundy is really in prison.

Did you become a father while serving your sentence?

Yes, I believe so. A frequent visitor to Rayford Prison in Stark, Florida, told me that in the early 1980s, prisoners raised funds to bribe prison guards, giving them time to make out with female visitors alone. No matter whose turn it is, you can have enough hidden space and time to get your wife or girlfriend pregnant. In addition, it is said that the baby girl born to Carol Ann Boone looks like Ted.

Carol Ann Boone

Where are she and her daughter now?

I have been trying to avoid any news about Ted’s ex-wife (who divorced before Ted was executed) and children, and I feel that as long as I don’t know, I will never inadvertently reveal any details about their privacy in the media. I heard that Ted’s daughter is a kind and clever girl, but I don’t know where she and her mother live now. They’ve suffered enough.

Meg Anders and her daughter—

The little girl who used Ted as her father in the 1970s—

Where is it now?

I also try not to know about Meg and her daughter. Her daughter is about 40 years old now. Meg wrote a book titled "The Phantom Prince: My Life with Ted Bundy" under the pseudonym of "Elizabeth kenyon" many years ago, which was published by a small publishing house in Seattle. Now the publishing house has closed down and the book has been out of print for many years.

To my surprise, I recently received a phone call from Meg’s daughter Lian Anders (a pseudonym). It turned out that Ted had done her great mental harm. Lian said that she always had a lingering guilt about the young girls killed by Ted, as if she had any way to stop him from killing people.

I told her that she was not responsible for what Ted did. At the time of the incident, she was just a little girl, a little girl who once loved and trusted him. Maybe one day, she will write down these feelings. I hope "Elizabeth kenyon" can see her book reprinted.

Meg Anders and her daughter

Has ted bundy ever been cleared of murder?

Officially, maybe once or twice. I believe that in December 1973, Ted picked up Katharine Merry Devon in the university area and killed him. Her parents and many detectives also thought that Ted did it. However, because her murder case has never been solved, there is a "dormant" suspect who has been watched by agents under the sheriff of thurston County, Washington for 28 years. This man, William E. Costen, has a criminal record of rape in Maryland, and was once accused of rape and murder, but was finally acquitted.

In March 2002, the DNA extracted from Katharine Merry’s body and clothes was compared with that of Kosden, and the results were completely consistent. Costen thought he could get away with it. At that time, he went to city of olympia to visit his relatives who opened a gas station, and the 14-year-old girl who hitchhiked from Seattle just got off here. He met her at the gas station, and she believed him.

Costen is now properly locked up in prison.

Is ted bundy a good man or not?

No.

Are you afraid to stay with ted bundy, especially alone in the crisis clinic?

Say it again, don’t be afraid. I have always been proud that I can detect the abnormal behavior of others, which is not only a natural ability, but also depends on acquired experience and training. But for a long time, I secretly blamed myself, because I didn’t see anything threatening or disturbing from Ted’s appearance. He is very kind to me, cares about my safety, and seems to be very considerate.

My only clue is my dog. It likes everyone, but it doesn’t like Ted at all. Every time he leans over my desk in the crisis clinic, the dog growls and the hair on the back of his neck stands on end.

One thing you can learn from this is: please pay more attention to your dog!

Stills from the movie Hachi: A Dog’s Tale.

Don’t you think ted bundy?

Should be commuted to life imprisonment,

Let a psychiatrist study it?

No, I don’t think so. Ted will try to escape again, and it will become more dangerous. He has fooled many smart and experienced people (including me), and he is fully capable of this. It’s too risky to do so.

What is Ted’s IQ?

According to the wexler Bellevue Intelligence Scale, Ted’s IQ is 124. This level is enough to graduate from college or get a higher degree, but he has never done a genius intelligence test.

Where is ted bundy buried?

No one knows except those closest to him. The body was cremated, and he asked that the ashes be scattered in the cascades Mountains in Washington State. This may be a wise choice, because the tomb is highly recognizable and may be damaged at any time to vent their anger.

Are you in love with ted bundy?

No. Thankfully, I’ve never had a crush on Ted except as a friend. In the 1970s and for a long time after that, I fell in love with a murder detective. This year, I received an email from a girl, and I was shocked to learn that her professor told her classmates: Ted and I are lovers and are going to marry me. This is purely a rumor, and I must follow it up immediately! With the help of my editor, we found an advertisement on eBay selling a second-hand book of mine. The seller missed two sentences in the book review, which completely changed its meaning. When I mentioned the relationship between Carol Ann Boone and Ted, I misused my name and it was passed around on many websites. This is so embarrassing. It’s totally wrong.

Ted and Carol Ann Boone

Ted bundy is really crazy, isn’t he?

No, he’s not crazy. Please refer to the first part of this chapter.

The following is taken from an email I received yesterday:

I read in many newspapers that in July 1986, the death penalty in Band-Aid was suspended 15 minutes before the execution. In October of the same year, it was suspended seven hours before the execution. Are these reports true or just media hype? Besides, if ted bundy had only 15 minutes or 7 hours to live, why didn’t he plead guilty until January 1989? Did his lawyers assure him that he would not be executed? Why did he choose to wait instead of playing this trump card in 1986? How did he know that he would not be executed?

In 1979, ted bundy was in court.

First of all, he didn’t show up 15 minutes before the execution in July 1986. In fact, not 15 minutes, but 15 hours. In November of the same year, he did appear seven hours before the execution, and his lawyer filed 18 appeals that time. I think he may feel invincible and always get another chance. However, he can’t be 100% sure that he won’t sit in the electric chair every time he arrives at the scene.

He took a risk and got what he wanted. However, neither I nor anyone else could say what Ted thought then (or now).

This leads to the next most common question:

What kind of person is ted bundy?

I don’t know. He has different faces in front of different people. He is both an actor and a liar, a thief and a killer. He is also a schemer, a stalker and even a magician. He is clever, but not brilliant. He is doomed.

I don’t think even Ted knows what kind of person he is.

Next, let’s tell the story of this man named ted bundy from the beginning.

Tencent plans to enter the latest financing of the dark side of the month, and the number of visitors to Kimi products has surpassed that of ERNIE Bot in April.

  On May 20, it was reported in the market that the dark side of the big model company was carrying out the latest round of financing with a valuation of $3 billion. The new investors included Tencent and Gaorong Venture Capital. This means that after investing in MiniMax, Zhipu AI and Baichuan Intelligent, Tencent once again pulled a large model unicorn company into its own camp.

  Ali’s annotation to the big model is even more active and fierce. Since August last year, Ali has successively invested in Zhipu AI, 10,000 objects and Baichuan Intelligent. This year, he has invested heavily in the new round of financing of the Dark Side of the Moon and MiniMax, bringing together all the five big model unicorns in China.

  For this latest round of financing, 21st century business herald reporter asked the dark side of the moon for verification, and the other party said it would not comment.

  It is understood that before this, the dark side of the moon received early investments from institutions such as Sequoia China, Today Capital, Zhenge Fund and Lisi Capital in 2023.

  In February of this year, the dark side of the moon received $1 billion in new financing, setting a new record for the largest single financing in the domestic AI field. After this round of financing, the valuation of the dark side of the moon has reached about $2.5 billion. Among them, $800 million comes from new shareholders and $200 million comes from old shareholders. New shareholders participating in financing include Internet companies such as Ali and Xiaohongshu, while old shareholders such as Sequoia China and Lisi Capital continue to follow suit.

  It is also worth noting that in addition to continuous recognition at the capital level, Kimi, a product of the dark side of the moon, has also won high growth at the market level. According to the latest data of AI product list (aicpb.com), in April 2024, the number of visitors to the web version of Kimi Smart Assistant, a product of Dark Side of Moon, reached 20.04 million, surpassing ERNIE Bot and ranking first among similar products in China.

  Kimi products have surpassed ERNIE Bot in April.

  The Dark Side of the Moon was founded in 2023. In October of that year, the company launched Kimi AI, the world’s first intelligent assistant product supporting the input of 200,000 Chinese characters. The real explosion of this product was in March this year, and it also led the Dark Side of the Moon into the public’s field of vision.

  On March 18th, the Dark Side of the Moon announced in WeChat official account that Kimi Intelligent Assistant had made another breakthrough in the technology of long context window, and the lossless context length was increased from 200,000 words to 2 million words. Since 9:30 am on March 20, Kimi’s system traffic has continued to increase abnormally, far exceeding the company’s previous expected plan.

  Someone close to the dark side of the moon told 21st century business herald that Kimi’s users have really grown rapidly. Basically, the team just celebrated that the number of users of the product reached an order of magnitude, and soon the number of users reached another order of magnitude.

  In terms of user data, the data of AI product list (aicpb.com) shows that the number of visitors to KimiChat reached 3.05 million in February, up by 107.6% from last month, ranking third in the domestic AI product visit list, second only to Baidu ERNIE Bot and ali tong Yiqianwen.

  At present, the latest data of AI product list (aicpb.com) shows that in April 2024, the number of visitors to the web version of Kimi intelligent assistant reached 20.04 million, up 60.2% from last month, and the number of visitors has surpassed that of ERNIE Bot, ranking first among similar products in China. In addition, according to QuestMobile’s data, in March 2024, the monthly active users of Kimi Smart Assistant APP were 5.897 million, and the monthly active users of Kimi Smart Assistant WeChat applet had exceeded 911,000.

  "Kimi’s explosion has attracted many users to start using products, which has brought about a rapid increase in visits, which may also be one of the reasons for attracting new investors. But what is the user retention after the freshness? This is the focus of everyone’s attention at this stage, and it also tests the product technical strength of the dark side of the moon. " An investor said to 21st century business herald.

  In addition to the dark side of the moon, MiniMax, Baichuan Intelligent and Zhipu AI also reported new financing progress this year. In April, there was market news that the current valuation of MiniMax had exceeded $2.5 billion.

  In addition, some media reported that Baichuan Intelligent will carry out a new round of financing with hundreds of millions of dollars, which will become one of the largest financing in the AI field in China in 2024. Investors from the participating companies confirmed that Baichuan Intelligent has been valued at over US$ 1.8 billion (about RMB 13 billion) this year. In response, Baichuan Intelligent responded that the latest financing information has not been officially disclosed, and the amount involved in the report is not accurate.

  Zhipu AI has always been the darling of the capital market. In 2023, it completed 2.5 billion yuan of financing, and the participating investment institutions included the social security fund Zhongguancun Independent Innovation Fund, Meituan, Ant, Ali, Tencent, Xiaomi, Sequoia and Gaoyou.

  At the beginning of this year, Zhipu AI received investment from Beijing Artificial Intelligence Industry Investment Fund. Wang Shaolan, president of Zhipu AI, said in an exclusive interview with 21st century business herald at the end of April that financing is a continuous process for large model companies. The company must have a new financing plan this year, but the details are not convenient to disclose for the time being.

  Technology giants compete for big model unicorns.

  In the era of mobile Internet, once a startup company accepts an investment from both Tencent and Ali, it will be regarded as a "queue". Looking at the investment maps of hundreds of companies in Ali and Tencent, there are only a handful of startups that can invest in both.

  In the last wave, the two giants, Tencent and Ali, made simultaneous bets on UGC. They jointly invested in Xiaohongshu, bilibili, Zhihu, bilibili and Zhihu, and the valuation of Xiaohongshu was as high as $20 billion in the last round of financing in 2021.

  Nowadays, in the AI ? ? big model track, the actions of the two giants are more similar. On the one hand, the big model burns money crazily and I don’t know when it will be profitable. On the other hand, it has already launched its own big model. Why did Tencent and Ali struggle to pull the big model unicorn into their own camp?

  One of the main driving forces is the rapid development of AI big model, which makes the computing demand of cloud providers surge, and also brings huge new business growth space for computing manufacturers. According to the latest data of Synergy Research Group, in Q4 2023, Amazon, Microsoft and Google, the three major cloud computing service providers, accounted for 66% of the global market share. According to the data released by market research organization Canalys, in the fourth quarter of 2023, Alibaba Cloud, Huawei Cloud and Tencent Cloud continued to dominate the cloud service market in China.

  It can be seen that the most active giants in big model investment are the top cloud computing providers in domestic and foreign markets. A16Z, a well-known venture capitalist in Silicon Valley, estimates that about 20%-40% of the revenue of large model application layer vendors will be used for reasoning and model fine-tuning, which is usually paid directly to cloud vendors or third-party model providers. Third-party model providers also spend about half of their revenue on cloud infrastructure, so 10%-20% of the total revenue of generative AI eventually flows to cloud providers.

  An investor analyzed to the reporter, "For the technology giants, by investing in a large-scale model enterprise to their own cloud, they can bring real growth to the business at the moment. At this stage, instead of going to the big model where you can’t see when you can make a profit, it is better to become the infrastructure of the big model first. "

Should AI write papers on behalf of others?

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, June 21st 

  Xinhua News Agency "Xinhua Viewpoint" reporters Li Shuangxi, Li Wei and Xie Ying

  Recently, it is the peak period for college students to submit course papers, defend and review their graduation thesis. A survey by Xinhua Viewpoint reporter found that some college students are quietly using AI (artificial intelligence) writing software such as ChatGPT to write papers, or using AI to assist paper writing, such as listing outlines, polishing language and reducing repetition rate.

  Will AI writing software encourage academic fraud? Should I care?

  AI software to write papers

  Cheng Guangyu (pseudonym), a junior in a university in Beijing, will hand in four course papers this semester, each of which is required to be about 3,000 words. Cheng Guangyu didn’t spend time reading literature, sorting out, extracting and writing. He stayed up all night before handing in his homework and finished his paper with ChatGPT.

  "At first, I was worried about whether I could finish it. As a result, I gave ChatGPT a general direction, and it listed the outline of the paper and automatically continued to write, which was much better than me." Cheng Guangyu finished four papers in one night, and submitted them to the teacher after simple revision.

  According to the investigation in some colleges and universities, some college students use ChatGPT to complete course assignments, final papers and even undergraduate or master’s thesis. "The threshold for undergraduate graduation thesis is low, and I have no scientific research ability. Many people’s undergraduate papers are extracted and pieced together online, and it is more convenient to hand them over to artificial intelligence now. " Qiao Yifan (a pseudonym), a senior student at a university in Wuhan, said.

  AI writing software can be used in all aspects of paper writing, from outlining and writing some contents to polishing language and reducing repetition rate. However, a college student who has used AI writing software in a university in Hunan Province thinks that the effect of modifying and polishing articles with AI software is not bad, but it is not appropriate to use it for substantive research and elaboration of innovative ideas.

  The reporter found that AI writing software similar to ChatGPT is not uncommon in China. For example, Zhichuang helps AI, the secret tower writes cats, draws pictures and writes quickly, etc., and generally supports the writing of articles and papers. In addition, there are many articles teaching how to write papers with AI software on websites such as Zhihu and Xiaohongshu. In the experience sharing, some netizens said: "The teacher can’t see it at all", "Praise the AI ? ? paper for being well written" and "gave me excellent papers".

  During the interview, some college teachers also found the characteristics of AI papers. When examining an undergraduate’s thesis, a teacher majoring in international politics in a university in Jilin Province found that his thesis on Japanese culture was biased, with blunt and lengthy language and empty content. Under the teacher’s questioning, the students admitted that the paper was written in ChatGPT.

  In addition, some papers written with AI software are full of mistakes. "If you check it carefully, you will find that the links of the cited papers can’t be opened, the author’s name can’t be searched, the publication time, journals, pages, SCI divisions and other contents of the papers are all false, and even some historical events involved are out of thin air." He Shiming, an associate professor at the School of Computer and Communication Engineering of Changsha University of Science and Technology, said.

  "Help scientific research" or "encourage cheating"?

  Can ChatGPT be used to assist thesis writing? Many college teachers are controversial about this, including those who support users, those who resolutely oppose it and those who demand that it is strictly prohibited.

  It is understood that some foreign universities have explicitly issued regulations prohibiting the use of ChatGPT to write papers. In China, academic journals such as Journal of Jinan (Philosophy and Social Sciences Edition) and Journal of Tianjin Normal University (Basic Education Edition) have successively issued explanations on the use of artificial intelligence writing tools, indicating that if the author uses relevant tools in his paper creation, he should explain the degree of use in detail in his article.

  For research purposes, Yang Zhiping, a professor of Marxism at Northeast Normal University, tried to use AI writing software. He found that in order for AI to provide correct ideas, it is necessary to constantly "feed" the corpus to AI. In the questions and answers with AI, the original vague research ideas gradually became clear. "It’s like exchanging ideas with an expert with encyclopedic knowledge. Through the collision of ideas, new academic viewpoints can be inspired." Yang Zhiping said.

  "AI writing software is just like search tools such as Google and Baidu. When it first appeared, it always caused people’s panic." Yao Yuchun, dean of the Institute of Social Sciences of Jilin University, said, but fundamentally, AI writing software is still a tool. It is a product of science and technology and needs to be treated dialectically. If students only use it for limited purposes, such as searching documents, listing outlines, sorting out ideas, etc., it is understandable and cannot be banned.

  Fu Weidong, a professor at the Department of Artificial Intelligence Education of Huazhong Normal University, believes that both manual writing and AI writing should be regarded as academic misconduct as long as they exceed the prescribed repetition rate according to the existing academic paper norms. In addition, AI writing is based on the retrieval and processing of existing knowledge. Repetition of sentences or plagiarism of ideas is inevitable, which will inevitably involve disputes over intellectual property rights and portrait rights, and should be strictly regulated.

  A college teacher in Hunan province is worried that if students are allowed to use AI to write, it will not be conducive to cultivating students’ scientific research ability. In the long run, it is easy for students to develop inertia and form a bad academic atmosphere.

  In addition, the information security problems that may be caused by AI software have also attracted attention. Li Huilai, a professor at the School of Artificial Intelligence of Jilin University, said that some countries in Europe wanted to "block" ChatGPT because of data security problems, because there was a hidden danger of "collecting, using and disclosing personal information without consent" when it grabbed data. Li Huilai pointed out that when domestic students use ChatGPT, it may lead to the abuse of domestic scientific research results, and there are data security risks.

  Actively respond to the academic challenges brought by AI technology

  Some industry experts believe that, like search tools, as a technology, the popularization and application of AI is irresistible. The application standards of AI writing tools should be formulated as soon as possible to standardize the scope of use; At the same time, change the traditional evaluation mechanism of students in colleges and universities, and provide AI writing detection tools for researchers. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen independent research and development in the field of artificial intelligence and master core technologies.

  Xiong Bingqi, president of 21st Century Education Research Institute, believes that it is difficult to ban AI writing software, and we should try to "keep the devil in a bottle" and make clear the scope and degree of use of AI writing tools. "It is better to face up to it than to avoid it. Colleges and universities can even offer public courses using AI writing tools, and clearly teach students the norms, methods and academic ethics. "

  He Shiming believes that the duplicate checking software used in colleges and universities has been difficult to cope with AI writing. At present, universities and academic journals lack special software to detect AI writing, and it is inevitable to "hang a leak" only by human eye recognition. It is hoped that relevant domestic institutions will develop software to identify AI writing, and provide a safer and more reliable anti-academic fraud system for colleges and universities.

  In order to avoid the influence of AI writing, some foreign universities are reducing the open homework after class, and putting more emphasis on classroom homework, handwritten papers, group work and oral test.

  Xie Di, an associate professor at the School of Public Administration of Hubei University, suggested that the education department should pay more attention to students’ problem consciousness, observe, understand and analyze the society’s nature, and increase the proportion of content with substance such as experiments and investigations, rather than overemphasizing the form.

  ChatGPT has powerful functions and may bring a new scientific and technological revolution. Li Huilai believes that domestic research and development of artificial intelligence should be strengthened. At present, some domestic companies are also developing similar products, but they are still in the initial stage and cannot form strong competition with ChatGPT.

  "It is necessary to use the window period to accelerate the development of Chinese AI applications and AI paper detection systems, and strengthen the independent research and development of artificial intelligence core technologies." Fu Weidong said.

Global News: Biden decides to run for re-election for Apple next year or will launch a variety of new products in June.

  On April 17th, last week, two important economic figures in the United States, CPI and PPI, showed that inflation was continuing to cool down, which boosted market sentiment, and US stocks recorded cumulative gains throughout the week. However, Friday’s retail sales data fell more than expected, indicating that the momentum of US economic growth has weakened, and the market is evaluating the risk of recession trading. And the next earnings season will also bring more tests to investors.

  Some analysts pointed out that the biggest factor affecting the US stock market in the coming week will be corporate earnings, which is particularly important considering the possibility of profit recession. However, judging from several banking stocks that took the lead last week, the performance has so far exceeded expectations.

  In addition, the market is still concerned about whether the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates in May. Judging from the current market pricing, the final increase is a foregone conclusion. According to CME’s "Fed Watch", the probability of the Fed keeping interest rates unchanged in May is 21.5%, and the probability of raising interest rates by 25 basis points is 78.5%. The probability of maintaining interest rates at the current level by June is 15.8%, the probability of raising interest rates by 25 basis points is 63.4%, the probability of raising interest rates by 50 basis points is 20.8%, and the probability of lowering interest rates by 25 basis points is 0%.

  However, it is worth noting that there are continuous differences within the Fed. The directors believe that the effect of controlling inflation is minimal and it is necessary to continue to raise interest rates, while the chairman of the Chicago Fed calls for not being too radical. This shows that after the aggressive interest rate hike, officials are also concerned about inflation and economic prospects in the United States.

  In terms of weekend news, US President Biden said on Friday that he has decided to run for re-election and will officially announce his campaign "soon". This means that it is possible that Biden will face Trump again next year.

  G7 emphasizes the commitment to accelerate the phase-out of unreduced fossil fuels, and to achieve net zero emissions in the energy system by 2050 at the latest. The seven countries agreed on a $4 billion action plan for key minerals (down from the planned $7.5 billion).

  On the enterprise side, Musk established an artificial intelligence (AI) company named X.AI in Nevada, USA, aiming to compete with Open AI, the development company of ChatGPT. Under the wave of AI, the technology madman is naturally unwilling to lag behind. The front foot is still criticizing ChatGPT, and the back foot has purchased 10,000 GPUs.

  According to informed sources, Musk is forming a team of AI researchers and engineers. He also discussed the issue of investing in this new company with some investors from Tesla and SpaceX. These investors are very excited about this. Earlier this year, in response to the rapid development of Open AI, Musk began to explore the idea of setting up a company to compete with it.

  Biden: I have decided to run for re-election and will officially announce it "soon"

  According to CCTV news, last Friday, local time, US President Biden said that he had decided to run for re-election in the 2024 US presidential election and would announce his campaign as soon as possible.

  US President Joe Biden said on Friday that he has decided to run for re-election and will officially announce his campaign "soon". "We will announce it relatively quickly. This trip to Ireland has made me more optimistic about what I can do, "Biden told reporters at the end of his trip to Ireland. "As I said, my plan is to run again."

  It is reported that Biden’s close assistants and allies have privately launched actions to establish relevant deployment and fundraising mechanisms for the 2024 election campaign.

  Sword finger ChatGPT Musk set up an artificial intelligence company to compete with Open AI.

  It is reported that Musk established an artificial intelligence (AI) company named X.AI in Nevada, USA, aiming to compete with Open AI, the development company of ChatGPT.

  According to informed sources, Musk is forming a team of AI researchers and engineers. He also discussed the issue of investing in this new company with some investors from Tesla and SpaceX. These investors are very excited about this. Earlier this year, in response to the rapid development of Open AI, Musk began to explore the idea of setting up a company to compete with it. For this new project, Musk has obtained thousands of high-performance GPU processors from NVIDIA.

  OpenAI CEO: the scale of large language model is close to the limit, not the bigger the better.

  Sam Altman, co-founder and CEO of OpenAI, talked about the development trend and security issues of Large Language Model (LLM) at MIT’s "Imagination Action" activity.

  He believes that OpenAI is approaching the limit of LLM scale. The larger the scale, the better the model may be, but it may be just to pursue a number. The scale of LLM is no longer an important indicator to measure the quality of the model, and there will be more ways to improve the ability and utility of the model in the future.

  Retail sales in the United States slowed down more than expected in March, falling 1% from the previous month, and the year-on-year growth rate of retail sales hit a new low of nearly three years.

  In March, retail sales in the United States decreased by 1% month-on-month, much worse than the expected growth rate of -0.4%, and the growth rate in February was revised from -0.4% to -0.2%. Retail sales only increased by 2.9% year-on-year, which is the lowest annual growth rate of retail sales since June 2020. Of the 13 categories, only 5 have increased. The "lag" of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy, coupled with the impact of the banking crisis on spending, is beginning to emerge.

  Differences within the Fed have intensified.

  Federal Reserve Governor Waller said that recent data show that the Fed has not made much progress in the inflation target, and interest rates need to rise further. Bostic, president of the Atlanta Federal Reserve, said that after raising interest rates again, the Fed can suspend interest rate hikes and evaluate them.

  Musk: It is extremely difficult to achieve mass production and positive cash flow, and the car price is low enough to survive.

  Musk wrote on Twitter on Thursday: "It is extremely difficult to achieve mass production and positive cash flow." The billionaire’s comments are a response to an old video shared by Twitter users. In that video, Musk said that in order to survive, the new company should be able to solve the problems of autonomous driving and electrification, and at the same time make a very "eye-catching" car and realize mass production, so that the cost of the car is low enough and the price does not exceed people’s affordability.

  China efficiently coordinated the prevention and control of epidemic situation and economic and social development, effectively responded to the impact of epidemic situation, Ukrainian crisis and other factors, overcame the downward pressure on the economy, and quickly stabilized and rebounded. China’s economy has shown great resilience and vitality, adding confidence and strength to the recovery of the world economy.

  Since the beginning of this year, the international environment has become more complicated and severe, and the domestic epidemic situation in China has been distributed frequently, which has obviously increased the adverse effects. How to evaluate the economic performance of China in the first half of this year?

  Chen Yuyu: The economic growth in the first quarter of 2022 was relatively optimistic, reaching 4.8%. Since April, due to the short-term negative impact, the main economic indicators have obviously declined for nearly two months, and finally stabilized and rebounded in June. In the face of an unusually complicated and difficult situation, the economy grew by 0.4% in the second quarter and by 2.5% in the first half of the year. China’s economy has withstood the severe test, especially in the second quarter, which shows that the internal vitality and resilience of the economy are very strong, and the fundamentals of China’s long-term economic improvement have not changed. In the medium and long term, we have reason to be full of confidence in China’s economy.

  Nalongsa Putapengmongkun: In the first half of this year, the overall economic development of China was steady and rising. In the second quarter, under the impact of COVID-19 epidemic rebound, Ukrainian crisis and other factors, China’s economic operation fluctuated greatly. With the efficient coordination of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development in China, a series of economic measures have been introduced and implemented. The epidemic prevention and control in key areas has achieved positive results, and the effect of a package of policies and measures to stabilize the economy has been gradually released. In June, economic growth rebounded significantly.

  Faced with the impact of unexpected factors, China coordinated epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, protected people’s life safety and health, made great efforts to ensure the stability and safety of the supply chain industry chain, and the economy stabilized and rebounded in a relatively short period of time, indicating that the good momentum of sustained and healthy economic development in China has not changed. As the second largest economy in the world, China has accumulated a solid material foundation for a long time and the advantages of super-large market scale. In addition, it is constantly promoting the construction of a new development pattern, so it can withstand the downward pressure of the economy and continue to play the role of "stabilizer" for the global economy.

  Sebastian Perimony: At present, influenced by the Ukrainian crisis and other factors, the world economic recovery is under great pressure, and some countries are at risk of falling into recession in the future. The state of "high inflation" and "low growth" in some countries has a negative impact on the real economy, employment and consumption of all countries in the world.

  Against this background, China’s economy grew by 2.5% in the first half of the year, and many data indicators showed that China’s economy maintained a good trend and showed strong resilience. In particular, from January to June this year, the added value of industrial enterprises above designated size in China increased by 3.4% year-on-year, and the investment in infrastructure construction increased by 7.1% year-on-year, indicating that the real economy in China has recovered steadily. In addition, in the first half of this year, China’s high-quality economic development progressed steadily, and the high-tech manufacturing industry maintained rapid development, which was impressive.

  Park Shengzan: Since the beginning of this year, the international situation has been complicated and severe, and the world economic growth has slowed down obviously. It is not easy for China to promote economic and social development to recover as soon as possible, and it is difficult for China to achieve positive economic growth in the second quarter. After a severe situation from March to April, the economy picked up quickly from May to June, which played a key role in driving economic growth in the second quarter. Good export is a bright spot of China’s economy. In the first half of this year, the total import and export value of China’s goods trade was 19.8 trillion yuan, up 9.4% year-on-year. The import and export of foreign trade achieved steady growth and became an important driving force for economic development.

  How to evaluate the macroeconomic policies adopted by China in response to the downward pressure on the economy and their effects?

  Xiao Lisheng: Overall, China’s economy is still in transition. Although the economic growth rate of 2.5% in the first half of the year was lower than the normal level, there are still bright spots. The basic policies of stabilizing growth, restructuring and promoting reform have not changed. Under the severe international situation and epidemic situation, China continued to adhere to industrial upgrading and structural transformation, and insisted on "housing and not speculation", and made efforts to stabilize growth, stabilize market players, ensure employment, adjust structure and promote reform in an orderly manner. For example, China’s manufacturing investment increased by 10.4% in the first half of the year. China promotes the transformation to high-end manufacturing industry, does not follow the old road of resource-intensive development, stimulates the vitality of scientific and technological innovation, and injects more kinetic energy into economic development, which is also one of the reasons for the continuous growth of export share in the first half of the year.

  Chen Yuyu: China’s macroeconomic policies have shown the ability to cope with huge economic fluctuations, with quick response and strong strength. Relevant departments have discovered problems early and issued comprehensive policies. In late May, 2022, the State Council launched a package of policies and measures to firmly stabilize the economy, and put forward 33 measures in six aspects: fiscal policy, monetary and financial policy, stable investment and consumption promotion policy, food and energy security policy, industrial chain supply chain stability policy and basic livelihood policy. The package of policies and measures to stabilize the economy has played a rapid role in more than two months. Although the economy only grew by 0.4% in the second quarter, it has already grown. The decline narrowed in May, and many indicators have turned from negative to positive in June, and the overall economic situation has stabilized and rebounded. The rapid functioning of relevant policies is also inseparable from China’s basic work in deleveraging, cleaning up shadow banking, focusing on solving hidden risks in key areas and preventing systemic risks in the past few years.

  In recent years, China’s macroeconomic policy system has been continuously improved in the process of coping with risk challenges. With the support of the government’s strong macro-policy, monetary policy and fiscal policy, the market’s confidence in economic growth has been further enhanced. For example, the People’s Bank of China handed over more than one trillion yuan of surplus profits to the central government, which greatly enhanced the central government’s ability to bail out this year and cope with the huge negative impact of the economy.

  Sebastian Perimony: China has effectively coordinated epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, and introduced comprehensive policies to stabilize economic growth, such as reducing taxes and fees, and increasing infrastructure investment, which has stabilized the basic economic disk. I have noticed that China’s investment in scientific research has greatly increased. At present, the scale of digital economy ranks second in the world, and the added value of high-tech manufacturing industry increased by 9.6% in the first half of the year. These advances in science and technology not only promote the development of related industries, but also help to create jobs and promote growth, which will strongly promote the high-quality economic development of China.

  At present, China’s economy has stabilized and improved, but the triple pressures of demand contraction, supply shock and expected weakening have not changed, and some unfavorable factors are still evolving, and many market players still face great difficulties. What difficulties does China’s economic operation face in the second half of the year, and how to deal with them?

  Li Xuesong: In the second half of the year, China’s economy may also face the challenge of multiple risks: First, local epidemics are repeated, which restricts economic operation; Second, the contraction of external demand in developed countries has led to the downward pressure on China’s exports; Third, the weak supply and demand of real estate continues to drag down the growth of domestic demand. According to the requirements of the CPC Central Committee that "the epidemic should be prevented, the economy should be stabilized and the development should be safe", if these three risks can be effectively resolved, China’s economy will return to the normal growth range in the second half of the year. Policy responses can be strengthened from the following aspects.

  Plan the incremental reserve policy in time to provide assistance for economic recovery. We will increase efforts to stabilize growth and ensure employment in fiscal policy. In terms of monetary policy, we should pay attention to coordinating aggregate instruments and structural instruments, reduce the financing cost of the real economy, and maintain a reasonable growth of total credit. We should also increase support for areas and industries that are greatly affected by the epidemic, as well as key areas such as scientific and technological innovation and green and low-carbon transformation.

  Accelerate reform and stabilize market expectations and expand effective domestic demand. Efforts should be made to stabilize the expectations of various market players, especially to avoid the downward convergence expectations of various market players for future economic development.

  Adhere to both chain maintenance and epidemic prevention and control, promote the continuous smooth supply chain of the industrial chain, and timely prevent the cost impact of the upstream on the middle and lower reaches. Give full play to the role of market mechanism, improve the ability of regulating the supply and demand of bulk commodities, increase the efforts to ensure the supply and price stability of important raw materials such as rare and precious metals, chemical products and chips, break hidden barriers and unreasonable restrictions, and actively explore the dynamic balance path between epidemic prevention and control and industrial development. Grasp the opportunity period of digital and green development, strengthen technological innovation and enhance the resilience of industrial chain supply chain.

  Highlight the orientation of employment priority to fiscal and monetary policies, accelerate the release of effective demand, and boost the labor market. We will promote both supply and demand, speed up the disposal and resolution of risks of housing enterprises, and take various measures to promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market.

  Frederick Baldan: Against the background of global epidemic, challenges and twists and turns of globalization, China has made full assessment and preparation. China’s continued opening to the outside world and the formal entry into force of the regional comprehensive economic partnership agreement this year can all help China hedge some global supply chain tensions. China firmly promotes the construction of a new development pattern and makes full use of the vast domestic and international markets. China has strong economic resilience, large room for manoeuvre and great growth potential, which can meet the short-term challenges of similar epidemics and accumulate strength for long-term development.

  The long-term positive momentum of China’s economy is even more obvious. The quality of China’s labor force is getting higher and higher, which enhances the international competitiveness of China’s economy and is conducive to the stability and long-term development of China’s economy.

  At present, inflation is high in many countries around the world, the risk of stagflation is rising, the policies of major economies tend to tighten, and external instability and uncertainties have increased significantly. How to evaluate the overall situation of the current world economy? What impact does the relevant situation have on China’s economy?

  Li Xuesong: Since 2022, the global economic environment has become more complex, with more challenges and more uncertainties. Geopolitical conflicts have intensified, and some countries are facing stagflation risks due to high inflation. In the second half of 2022, some developed economies may slide from inflation to stagflation, emerging markets and developing economies show regional differentiation, global interest rate hikes, and monetary tightening may trigger economic recession and sovereign debt crisis in some countries.

  At present, the cycles of the world’s major economies are out of sync, and the policy objectives and directions are quite different. Despite the downward trend, the American economy is still in an overheated state, with strong aggregate demand, high inflationary pressure and a historically low unemployment rate. The economic cycle of the euro zone lags behind that of the United States, and the recovery is not as stable as that of the United States. However, due to the Ukrainian crisis, the gap between total supply and total demand has widened rapidly, and inflationary pressure has risen sharply. It is expected that in the second half of the year, with the tightening of monetary policy in the United States and Europe and the gradual downward cycle of the US economy, the risk of shocks in the international financial market may be further aggravated.

  The main goal of China’s macro-policy is to stabilize growth and ensure employment. Facing the tightening of external constraints, independent implementation of macro-policy requires stronger determination and more superb skills. The spillover effects of external economic situation and policy changes on China are more complicated and changeable, and it is more difficult to coordinate international policies.

  Park Shengzan: The Ukrainian crisis and the economic downturn in the United States are prominent factors affecting global economic growth. Russia and Ukraine are both important countries that affect energy and food prices. The Ukrainian crisis will lead to the instability of supply and demand, and the price increase will show a long-term trend, and the US economy may also be directly or indirectly affected. The economic downturn in the United States will lead to a decline in global stock prices, which in turn will lead to a decline in the value of enterprises, losses for investors, and increasing anxiety about the future, which in turn will lead to an increase in savings and a decrease in consumption.

  Under the background of increasing inflation in the United States and the continuing crisis in Ukraine, many countries in the world are likely to face stagflation due to rising prices and interest rates, which will trigger a "domino effect" and the global economic situation may deteriorate further.

  Under such circumstances, China needs to further stimulate economic growth through investment and consumption, and strive to strengthen its economic resilience. In order to prevent consumption from shrinking in China, the government needs to give policy support. The reason why China can cope with inflation well is that the price stabilization policy under the government’s control continues to play an effective role.

  Frederick Baldan: Global economic growth is still facing many challenges such as epidemic and geopolitical conflicts. The International Monetary Fund recently lowered its forecast of world economic growth to 3.2% and 2.9% in 2022 and 2023, respectively, reflecting the pressure of world economic recovery and growth. The developed economies in Europe and America are experiencing high inflation and weak growth. The debt pressure of some developing countries is unrelenting, and the food crisis is imminent. All parties need to work together to meet the challenge.

  As far as the region is concerned, the Asia-Pacific region should give full play to its advantages of rapid development, maintain long-term stability and security in the Asia-Pacific region, and prevent the Cold War mentality from eroding the environment for economic growth in the Asia-Pacific region. As far as China is concerned, economic growth will still face the pressure of repeated epidemics in the future. How to gradually restore personnel exchanges under the background of epidemic situation is also a major issue. From the perspective of enterprise and business cooperation, personnel exchanges are indispensable for business development and market expansion. Closer personnel exchanges can promote business cooperation and cultural exchanges between China and the outside world, and promote mutual understanding.

  At present, the United States and some countries in Europe are facing the dilemma of high inflation. Is there a risk of imported inflation for China’s economy? What preparations should be made?

  Xiao Lisheng: At present, the overall inflation situation in China is relatively stable, with the consumer price index (CPI) maintained at 1.7% in the first half of the year. On the one hand, the overall demand of China’s economy was relatively weak in the first half of the year, and there was no significant price increase. On the other hand, the state has made arrangements in advance in the supply of commodities such as energy and food.

  Due to the effective regulation and control of bulk commodities by the China government, the risk transmission from overseas has been prevented, especially the global energy and food price increase has been transmitted to China. In the case of high overseas inflation, China’s inflation has remained basically stable, which has reserved a large space for monetary policy, fiscal policy and future aggregate demand management policy, and is conducive to promoting China’s economy to return to a reasonable range.

  Chen Yuyu: The international inflation situation may last for a long time, because loose monetary and fiscal policies in some economies have created strong aggregate demand.

  In response to the impact of the epidemic on the economy, China’s macro leverage ratio has increased slightly, and it still has a large policy space. In terms of financial policy, China has always adhered to a prudent monetary policy in recent years, and will not overuse monetary policy tools because of short-term economic fluctuations.

  Nalongsa Putapengmongkun: China’s economy is running steadily, prices are relatively stable, the macro-policy environment is suitable, and there are basically no conditions for high inflation. China’s economy has maintained a steady growth momentum for a long time, the employment situation is basically stable, foreign trade is growing rapidly, high-quality development has achieved new results, and it has the ability to cope with economic risks.

  With the improvement of epidemic prevention and control situation and the emergence of policy effects, China’s advantages such as large economic volume, wide market space, sufficient development resilience, many reform dividends and strong governance capacity will be further exerted, and China’s economy is expected to maintain the trend of recovery and development.

  Recently, the International Monetary Fund, the World Economic Forum and other international organizations have warned that the global economy is facing the risk of recession, and China’s economy will still face many risk challenges in the future. In the long run, what should China’s economy do to win the initiative?

  Li Xuesong: We should guard against the spillover effect of external risks to China and stabilize the international community’s confidence in China’s economy. First, strengthen the determination to independently implement macro policies. According to the needs of China’s current economic cycle, we should put steady growth and employment protection at the top of China’s multiple objectives of macro-policies, and implement macro-policies more actively and meaningfully. In the current weak demand for credit in the private sector, we should pay more attention to the role of proactive fiscal policy. Second, enhance the flexibility of two-way fluctuation of RMB exchange rate and give full play to the role of exchange rate as a buffer against external risks. An appropriate range of phased exchange rate depreciation will help to release risks and stabilize expectations. Third, we should stabilize the confidence of the international community in China’s economy and capital market. Maintain a reasonable economic growth rate and guide the international community’s expectation that China’s economy will improve for a long time and its weight will increase in the global structure. While strengthening independent innovation, we need to continue to deeply integrate into the global industrial chain and give play to the attraction of China’s super-large-scale market advantage to foreign enterprises.

  Park Sheng-zan: In the second half of the year, repeated epidemics, shrinking consumption and rising prices of energy and food may become constraints on China’s economic growth. China needs to formulate and implement systematic and scientific epidemic response strategies, increase domestic demand, enhance the investment vitality of private enterprises, boost the confidence of foreign capital in China market, and constantly improve relevant systems to create a good investment environment for foreign enterprises.

  Against the background of repeated delays in the epidemic and weak global economic recovery, China’s economy will continue to grow, and the quality of economic growth will be further improved. China not only pursues the speed of economic growth, but also pays more attention to improving quality and efficiency. Making innovation the driving force of economic growth will be conducive to the optimization of economic structure and the enhancement of the long-term positive trend.

  Sebastian Perimony: In the second half of the year, the risk of inflation in the world economy will not subside, and the epidemic is still likely to recur, and the impact has not been eliminated. The uncertainty caused by the Ukrainian crisis still exists, which will affect the sustained recovery of China’s economy and the realization of the overall economic growth target. As the second largest economy in the world, China emphasizes the development concept of common development and common prosperity, upholds the concept of building a community of human destiny, and constantly implements the initiative of jointly building the Belt and Road Initiative. China’s economic recovery has a positive impact on the global economy. China also put forward a global development initiative, focusing on the fundamental issue of "development", which responded to the expectations and needs of the current world, especially developing countries, and received wide support and response. It is expected that relevant policies will continue to be implemented and contribute to promoting global common development and economic recovery.

Let more life-saving and emergency-saving drugs enter medical insurance —— The construction of dynamic adjustment mechanism of medical insurance catalogue in China has entered an accelerated period.

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, February 15th Title: Let more life-saving and emergency-saving drugs enter medical insurance-The construction of dynamic adjustment mechanism of medical insurance catalogue in China has entered an accelerated period.

Xinhua News Agency reporter Chen Fang, Zhang Quan

The change of medical insurance catalogue is related to the well-being of hundreds of millions of participants.

Zero tariff on imported anticancer drugs, medical insurance negotiation, centralized drug procurement organized by the state … Since 2018, China has taken a series of measures to promote drug price reduction.

The executive meeting of the State Council recently pointed out that China will speed up the frequency of adjusting the medical insurance drug list and include more life-saving anticancer drugs and other drugs into medical insurance. This means that the construction of the dynamic adjustment mechanism of China’s medical insurance catalogue has entered an accelerated period, and the people are expected to gain more happiness.

Anti-cancer drugs enter medical insurance, and patients no longer look forward to "drugs"

The movie Dying to Survive, which was a big hit last year, aroused widespread concern about anticancer drugs in society. Once, "a pill" dragged down a family. Now, anticancer drugs have entered medical insurance, bringing hope to more families.

With the comprehensive promotion of medical reform, the "combination boxing" of drug price reduction policy has been implemented one after another and achieved practical results. Accelerating the adjustment frequency of medical insurance drug list and bringing more good drugs into medical insurance have become the key links to benefit patients.

For lung cancer patients with T790M gene mutation, the third-generation targeted drug oxitinib has obvious curative effect, but for Mr. Wang of Anhui Province, the "sky-high price" of a box of 50,000 yuan once made him look forward to "medicine". After the national medical insurance negotiation and inclusion in medical insurance, the burden of medical expenses has been greatly reduced.

The relevant person in charge of the National Medical Insurance Bureau said that in order to allow patients to enjoy more good drugs without causing a serious deficit in the medical insurance fund, China has reduced the drug price through price negotiation and squeezed out the unreasonable part of the drug price.

In October 2018, 17 kinds of anticancer drugs, including oxitinib, were included in the Category B scope of the National Drug List of Basic Medical Insurance, Work Injury Insurance and Maternity Insurance (2017 Edition), and the medical insurance payment standard decreased by an average of 56.7% compared with the retail price.

By the end of last year, medical institutions and pharmacies nationwide had purchased about 1.84 million tablets (tablets/unit) of 17 kinds of anticancer drugs negotiated by the country at the negotiated price, with a total purchase amount of 562 million yuan, which saved 918 million yuan in procurement costs compared with the pre-negotiated price, and reduced the cost burden after medical insurance reimbursement by more than 75%.

To meet the people’s drug demand, the national medical insurance drug list "grows again and again"

Since the first edition of the national medical insurance drug list was formulated in 2000, it has been revised in 2004, 2009 and 2017, and the coverage of drugs has been increasing. When the 2017 edition of the National Medical Insurance Catalogue was released, it contained a total of 2,535 drugs. During the revision process, four types of clinical drugs, such as children’s drugs, innovative drugs, major disease treatment drugs and ethnic drugs, were given key support.

The incidence of chronic diseases and malignant tumors has increased, and the number of patients with rare diseases has continued to increase … At present, the spectrum of diseases in China’s population has changed significantly. Compared with the drug demand of the masses, there is still much room for improvement in the updating frequency, catalogue proportion and structure of the national medical insurance catalogue. For example, in 2018, the first batch of 121 rare diseases listed by the state that patients in urgent need of treatment drugs have not been included in medical insurance; Hummel, the "global drug king" who has 17 indications and treats a variety of rheumatic immune diseases, is also out of the catalogue.

In May last year, China published the First List of Rare Diseases, in which 121 rare diseases such as multiple sclerosis were included. In July, National Medical Products Administration approved the marketing of Obadiah in China for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis, which is the first oral disease correction drug approved in China for the treatment of multiple sclerosis.

"No matter whether it is a rare disease or a chronic disease, a disease that causes a huge economic burden to patients is a serious illness." Wang Chen, an academician of China Academy of Engineering and director of Peking Union Medical College of China Academy of Medical Sciences, said that biological agents are the most effective drug for treating some chronic diseases at present. If patients can get timely and standardized treatment, they will maximize their quality of life. We should use the medical insurance mechanism to assume the social responsibility of benefiting more patients, give full play to the scientific guiding role of the medical insurance mechanism in the medical ecology of the whole society, encourage the research and development of drugs for the treatment of rare diseases, and make the basic drug list and the basic medical insurance list and other related systems reasonably connected and linked.

Dynamic adjustment mechanism is the key to let more good drugs enter medical insurance.

The Central Economic Work Conference held not long ago clearly stated that "more life-saving and emergency-saving medicines should be included in medical insurance". The the State Council executive meeting held on February 11th once again proposed to speed up the registration and approval of new anticancer drugs at home and abroad, organize experts to select new overseas drugs that are urgently needed in clinic, improve the import policy, and promote the simultaneous listing of new overseas drugs in China. Smooth the temporary import channels of anticancer drugs urgently needed in clinic.

"For the people, this is a great benefit." Wang Bo, a special researcher at the National Center for Drug Policy and Pharmaceutical Industry Economics of China Pharmaceutical University, said that the most important thing now is to explore and establish a dynamic adjustment mechanism. It is necessary to strengthen the evaluation method of pharmacoeconomics, realize the selection method of combining clinical recommendation, industry association and enterprise application, and narrow the gap between people’s growing health demand and medical service supply level as soon as possible.

As a local innovative practice, medical insurance in some provinces and cities has included new drugs and good drugs which are urgently needed by patients, greatly improve the quality of life of patients and their families, have clear curative effects and are clinically necessary, and achieved good benefits. For example, Xiumeile, which is used to treat autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, has been included in the serious illness medical insurance system of eight provinces, cities or units such as Qingdao, Shandong and Shenzhen, Guangdong in China.

Wang Bo believes that the country urgently needs to establish a mechanism of "making medicines well and getting good results". In the future, the coverage of the national medical insurance catalogue should be further expanded to more fields, so as to realize "regular approval of enterprises, regular review of medical insurance and regular update to meet the requirements". With the steady progress of a series of measures such as encouraging the research and development of innovative drugs and facilitating the listing of new drugs, more life-saving and emergency-saving good drugs can be accelerated.

By December 10, 2018, National Medical Products Administration Drug Evaluation Center had received and processed more than 1,500 applications for communication and exchange, including more than 600 applications for anti-tumor drugs, and the progress of innovative drug research and development of domestic pharmaceutical companies entered the expressway.

This year, China will cancel the declaration requirement that some imported drugs must be listed overseas before they can apply for import, encourage global innovative drugs to be developed simultaneously at home and abroad, and attract more cancer treatment drugs to be listed in China. While improving the quality of drugs and reducing the price of drugs, we will guide enterprises to increase innovation.

 

Original From "One Man and Horse" to "Combination of Chinese and Western" – Mazda EZ-6: The "Touchstone" of Joint Venture New Energy

If the joint venture car companies 40 years ago were to achieve "market-for-technology", then the new joint venture era is to achieve "technology-for-market" and reverse export Chinese technology, and even brands. Take Changan as an example, the EZ-6, a pure electric/range-extended new energy B-class car launched by the joint venture, provides a good research model for how the joint venture can break through in the existing market environment.

Forty years ago, China agreed to set up foreign joint ventures in China, with the fundamental focus being – market for technology, which means opening up the huge Chinese mainland market to foreign investment in order to obtain foreign car companies to help China improve its automobile development capabilities, including learning from foreign advanced manufacturing and management experience.

After 40 years, the market environment has undergone tremendous changes. Chinese car companies represented by BYD and Geely have achieved remarkable results in capital operation, supply chain vertical management, core technology development, etc., and have made rapid progress in Sandian and intelligent development. Chinese car companies have also changed from the role of "little brothers" in the past to a new force that all foreign car companies dare not underestimate, even "leaders". Auto giants such as Ford are lamenting: "They are ahead of us."

Between the above advances and retreats, on the one hand, China’s local brands have become stronger and bigger, achieving "brand spillover", on the one hand, the share of foreign brands in the country has shrunk, and the voice over has weakened, which has caused the competitiveness of joint venture car companies to decline, and led to a topic:How can joint venture car companies respond to market changes? Are they losing ground or even withdrawing from the Chinese market, or are they shrinking their front line and actively transforming?

The terrified Ford CEO

And the aggressive Mazda president

The Wall Street Journal published an article on September 14 local time, "What is Ford CEO scared of in China?", the article said that after visiting China, Ford Motor CEO Jim Farley told the company’s board members that Chinese automakers are moving at the speed of light, the artificial intelligence and other technologies used in cars are completely different from existing technologies in the United States, and these Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers that provide smooth digital functions are using low-cost supply chains to beat competitors on price and aggressively expand into overseas markets.

"In just a few short years, Chinese electric carmakers such as BYD have wrested significant domestic market share from once dominant foreign competitors through low prices, high-tech interiors and rapid iterations of vehicles. Now, the Chinese carmaker is rapidly expanding into Europe, the Middle East and other Asian markets," the article said.

After Mr. Farley and a group of Ford executives took a test drive of Changan on the test track, everyone was stunned by the technological advancements of their partner, Changan – a smooth and quiet ride with a high-end, tech-savvy and easy-to-use interior. "Jim, it’s completely different," John Lawler, Ford’s chief financial officer, told Mr. Farley after the test drive. "They’re ahead of us."

Mazda executives share the same feelings as Ford executives. Deng Zhitao, executive vice president of Changan Mazda Automobile Co., told the author: "The president of Mazda Mao Long came to China on the second day of his tenure, and this year’s Beijing Auto Show came to the scene to release the EZ-6. At the Beijing Auto Show, Mazda’s parent company sent about 200 people to conduct a comprehensive research and analysis on the competition and changes of new energy in China, which shows that Mazda’s parent company attaches unprecedented importance to the Chinese market. Without high-frequency communication, it is difficult for foreign parties to understand the changes in the Chinese market."

Deng Zhitao, Executive Vice President of Changan Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd.

Regarding the changes in awareness of the Ford and Mazda brands, Deng Zhitao, executive vice president of Changan Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd., commented:"The leadership of the Mazda brand is very determined and enlightened to transition to electrification, so embrace new things quickly. Ford is also making changes to electrification, but the speed needs to be accelerated."

Changan Mazda Model:

The "New Joint Venture Model" of Receivism

In the current context of accelerating the intelligentization of domestic automobiles, joint ventures are facing the dilemma of failure to advance and retreat. There are even opinions that under the impact of China’s local market, most joint ventures will withdraw from the Chinese market. Is there really no market outlet for joint venture car companies?

Objectively, most joint venture car companies are not fully prepared when dealing with this wave of changes, and the parent companies of Chinese and foreign parties also lack sufficient organizational resources to allow the joint venture to achieve transformation. In the fields of three power and intelligence, foreign parties do not have accumulated and technological advantages, and many Chinese investors may not have much strength. Even if the latter has technical advantages, deep cooperation cannot be realized because the two sides have not reached a sufficient consensus.

As the saying goes, it’s easy to turn around, and it’s not the big Macs like Toyota and Volkswagen, GM and Ford that are rapidly transforming and "blossoming" in this regard, but Mazda from Japan. Why? This may come from Mazda’s sense of crisis and recognition of China’s advantages.

Mazda has a deep foundation in the field of traditional car manufacturing, while Changan Automobile has been deeply cultivated in the fields of Sandian and intelligence for many years, and both have their own advantages. At the dawn of the new joint venture era, Changan Mazda, as a joint venture, gives full play to the advantageous resources given by both shareholders to achieve a strong alliance.

Deng Zhitao said: "Mazda highly recognizes the position and technology of Changan’s parent company in the field of Sandian. This time, the EZ-6 product also uses Changan’s Sandian technology and architecture in an all-round way. At the same time, Changan’s parent company also recognizes Mazda’s capabilities in design, control, quality, and safety. Therefore, during the design and development of the EZ-6, we were divided into three teams, namely Changan’s team, Mazda’s team, and Changan Mazda’s team. Each team has clear responsibilities. For example, in terms of control, design, quality and craftsmanship, it is led by the Mazda team. In terms of Sandian Intelligence, Changan’s team is responsible for the final acceptance. It can be said that the EZ-6 is a product produced under the high recognition and high compatibility of our parent companies.

It can be said that Changan Mazda’s flexible and pragmatic operating mechanism has played a huge advantage: compared with other joint venture brands, Changan Mazda is more flexible; and compared with new car manufacturers, Mazda has played an advantage in design and quality control.It can be said that Changan Mazda reflects the flexible mechanism and efficient operation of the new joint venture era, which can be understood as "Mazda’s brand advantage + Changan Automobile’s new technology empowerment"; in this way, the joint venture can not only continue to play the advantages of foreign capital in vehicle manufacturing, but also play to China’s late-mover advantages in new technologies such as intelligence, and achieve vertical integration of the supply chain, accelerate product launch, timely adjustment and optimization, and rapid iteration.

Deng Zhitao gave an example: "From the supply chain level, the EZ-6 uses many excellent domestic supply chains. For example, the EZ-6 battery originated from the Ningde era, and it is a 3C battery, including the zero-gravity seat. In the field of joint venture new energy, there are also few products that can be equipped with double zero-gravity seats, including the range-extending battery used by AVIC Plaza. The battery cells of AVIC Plaza are also fully 3C-level. In the future, OTA upgrades will continue to be carried out, adding intelligent assisted driving such as automatic off-ramp. At present, our intelligent driving system should be the latest and best research results of Changan Institute of Science and Technology."

Sample significance of EZ-6:

The "first battle" of joint venture new energy transformation

At a time when Changan and Mazda have reached a consensus to actively promote the transformation of Changan Mazda, the Chinese market has become the first choice to test the new joint venture and its products. If the market sells well and achieves initial success, then you can go overseas to participate in international competition. On the contrary, if you fail to succeed in the Chinese market and fail to return, then this new joint venture model will face severe tests and questions from the outside world: Can you do it?

When it comes to this topic, Deng Zhitao’s expression is very serious: "We believe that the Chinese market must be a very important core market for developing a global product. At present, there may be more car brands in the Chinese market than any other car market in the world. So if the Chinese market is’not good ‘, I believe it will not be able to compete in the future global market. This is what I call the’spillover’ of the Chinese auto market. The fierce competition in the Chinese market is now expanding to the global scale, and it may become more intense next year. Therefore, the spillover of competition will form a strong global effect. When we develop the EZ-6, we hope to first do a good job in the Chinese market. If the domestic market can do well, I believe we can also do well in the global competition in the future."

"We must first do a good job in the Chinese market. If the Chinese market is not good, let alone the global market. If the joint venture wants to deal with the competition of domestic independent brands in the future, the Chinese market is the bridgehead; how to compete well in the Chinese market. How to do a good job in upgrading and iterating technology is very critical for Changan Mazda," Deng Zhitao said.

Once the first battle of the EZ-6 is successful, then the process of the experience accumulated in the development process of this product will be continuously reproduced on the subsequent models of Changan Mazda. "Through the EZ-6 product, a team will be formed to precipitate a set of processes. The so-called process, I think, is the methodology in the product development process and the entire Quality Standard and acceptance system. Through the precipitation of the entire process system, in the future, on our second, third and fourth products, we will use Changan Mazda’s process to manage the development of the current product." Deng Zhitao added.

At this year’s Beijing Auto Show, the relevant person in charge of MIIT visited the Changan Mazda booth and gave a high evaluation of the MAZDA EZ-6 product. The relevant person in charge pointed out: "In the process of new energy development, you can’t build cars behind closed doors. I hope other domestic joint venture brands can learn from Changma; if the EZ-6 product can have a good performance in sales, whether it is for the development of the entire industry, the parent company of both parties, the local government, and the country, it has played a positive and exemplary role. In the past, the joint venture model was based on the market for technology, which also drove the rapid development of the automobile industry chain. It can be said that enterprises cultivate the industry chain, such as Tesla and Apple. In the future, we also hope that the domestic automotive industry chain system can also feed back the enterprise and provide better’nutrition ‘for the development of the enterprise, so as to form the’flower’ of the joint venture brand. "

From the perspective of the EZ-6 product, it reflects not only the traditional inherent value of the joint venture brand (derived from Mazda), but also the innovative value of the new joint venture era (such as range extension technology and intelligent driving technology, derived from Changan Automobile).

The biggest market opportunity for joint venture car companies to launch new energy models is that some users have both brand requirements for the product, and hope that it can match the products of their own brands in terms of electrification and intelligence. EZ-6 products have their own market opportunity points similar to "Tianji horse racing". When competing with joint venture competitors on the same stage, its performance in three electricity and intelligence will give them extra points. Compared with the same level of independent brand models, Mazda’s vehicle mechanical quality and quality sense, reliability and comparative advantages.

Users want both, and joint venture new energy products are both available. Can the two resonate at the same frequency?
