Geely Remote Star V is a pure electric 2-seater car with body colors including white and vanilla blue. It was listed on April 21, 2024, with the manufacturer’s guide price of 131,800 to 159,800 yuan, the bare car price of 126,000 yuan and the highest discount of 50,000 yuan. This model has excellent performance in the new energy VAN car market, with diversified products, intelligent configuration and extensive scene coverage. Excellent performance in comfort, power, interior and energy consumption. The price is relatively close to the people, and the interior quality is also good, which is suitable for family cars.

The more 07 is in place, the more you turn over and fight.

On September 10th, Extreme Yue 07 was officially listed, and its listed equity price was:

• 660 km standard version of 199,900;
• 880 km long battery life version of 219,900;
• The 770 km performance version is289,900.

In addition, Extreme Yue 07 also gave free half steering wheel, comfortable suit (including heating and ventilation of the whole car seat) and other rights and interests.

As the second model of Extreme Yue, Extreme Yue 07 was born with the task of playing a beautiful turnaround for Extreme Yue.?After all, the first model of the Extreme Yue, the current market performance of the Extreme Yue 01, is still difficult to make the Extreme Yue stand out in the brutal elimination of the new energy vehicle market.

Interestingly, the day when Extreme Yue 07 was officially listed happened to be the day when Apple and Huawei held a new product launch conference.

The unexpected collision between the launch date and Apple and Huawei, which have a flood of traffic, will inevitably affect the attention of Jiyue 07, which also echoes the fate of Jiyue 07, who was born to help Jiyue turn over and make it stand out in the knockout of the new energy automobile market.

Design is one of the key selling points that Extreme Yue 07 can play best.

As early as this year’s Beijing Auto Show, the design of Extreme Yue 07 officially met with users. From the appearance of the official appearance, the design of Extreme Yue 07 has been receiving rave reviews.

As a whole, Extreme Yue 07 adopts the same design language as Extreme Yue 01. Whether it is the shape of the slip back, the smooth lines, the element composition of the front and rear light groups, and the curved surface of the doorless door panel, Extreme Yue 07 and Extreme Yue 01 are basically the same. Moreover, compared with most pure trams, Extreme Yue 07 and Extreme Yue 01 rarely look bloated in shape.

However, although Extreme Yue 07 and Extreme Yue 01 use the same design language, the design elements of Extreme Yue 01 have not been completely copied to Extreme Yue 07, and some new details are still worth noting.

For example, Extreme Yue 07 didn’t place four small lights showing the electric quantity at the side skirt of the car body like Extreme Yue 01, but replaced it with four small blue lights showing the intelligent driving state around the car body; In addition, Extreme Yue 07 also adopts the design of hidden water cut, which makes the side look more concise, complete and smooth.

There is another detail change in the design of Extreme Yue 07, which is not easy to be noticed by people, but it has cost a lot of money-the position of A column.

According to Xia Yiping, CEO of Extreme Yue, in order to make the lines of Extreme Yue 07 more beautiful, compared with Extreme Yue 01, A of Extreme Yue 07 moved back by 65 mm, and it cost 300 million yuan to realize this structural change.

For the sake of extreme value of 07, extreme value can be said to be at all costs.

Xia Yiping is also very confident about the value of the Extreme Yue 07. He said that the Extreme Yue 07 will be the best-looking car in the next 20 years. In fact, 20 years is the growth of a generation. The Extreme Yue 07 will affect the aesthetics of a generation of cars. The smart car design in the next 20 years will have a great shadow.

Coming to the interior, Extreme Yue 07 has dimensions of 4,953 mm, 1,989 mm, 1,475 mm in length, width and height, and a wheelbase of 3,013 mm, which lays a "big" foundation for the comfort of the space.

In terms of interior design, the overall design of Extreme Yue 07 is similar to that of Extreme Yue 01. There is no turn signal lever and physical gear shifting mechanism, and a 35.6-inch screen with a resolution of 6 K is placed on the instrument panel.

The steering wheel is still dominated by a half-width steering wheel, but the half-width steering wheel of Extreme Yue 07 adopts the fifth-generation half-width steering wheel. According to Xia Yiping, Extreme Vietnam spent 20 million yuan to develop the fifth-generation half steering wheel.

The half steering wheel of Extreme Yue 07 is quite different from that of Extreme Yue 01-the buttons are roller-type, and the arrangement of left and right turn signal buttons and the arrangement of wiper and high beam buttons are changed to up and down structures.

Compared with Extreme Yue 01, the half steering wheel of Extreme Yue 07 is obviously easier to use.

At the same time, the double 50 W wireless charging island platform, storage compartment and cup holder of Extreme Yue 07 have also been completely arranged, which has good practicability.

In terms of seats, the riding experience of Extreme Yue 07 is more comfortable. According to the actual experience, the wrapping of the Extreme Yue 07 seat is not bad, especially the support of the shoulder will be more.

Generally speaking, the interior of Extreme Yue 07 is more home-oriented than that of Extreme Yue 01.

Xia Yiping said that 2024 was a year of intellectual driving and AI explosion. For the level of intelligence, in the car of Extreme Yue 07, Extreme Yue still made great efforts.

In terms of intelligent driving, the PPA of Extreme Yue has become a thing of the past. The delivery of Extreme Yue 07 is equipped with the latest generation of pure visual intelligent driving system-Apollo Self-driving.

In hardware, Extreme Yue 07 is equipped with 11 high-definition cameras, 9 millimeter-wave radars (4 of which are door-mounted), 12 ultrasonic radars, 2 high-precision positioning units and dual NVIDIA Orin-X intelligent driving chips.

In software, Extreme Yue 07 adopts an end-to-end scheme.

According to Wang Liang, chief architect of Baidu Intelligent Driving and chairman of IDG Technical Committee, there are two schools of intelligent driving with end-to-end as the core technology, one is the complete end-to-end of One model; The other is hierarchical and two-stage end-to-end, which includes two big models: perception and decision planning. ASD chose the latter.

The reason for this choice is that Wang Liang said that the complete end-to-end of One Model is a black box system, and it is difficult to control the output content of this system, and it is also difficult for engineers to debug the logic of the system when making decisions. In terms of specific performance, the complete end-to-end upper limit of One Model is very surprising, but the lower limit is also very speechless.

For the two-stage end-to-end, Wang Liang said that this scheme is more conducive to collecting long tail data and iterating the model, which can ensure the upper and lower levels of intelligent driving at the same time.

Based on two-stage end-to-end ASD, the obvious value improvement brought by Extreme Yue 07 to users in intelligent driving is mainly reflected in three aspects.

The first is driving. According to official data, ASD can perform 5,000 operations per millisecond, so as to achieve a smoother and more efficient bypass and obstacle avoidance during driving.

Secondly, active safety, official data show that the maximum braking speed supported by the AEB of the polar crossing 07 reaches 100 km/h. In addition, Extreme Yue 07 also supports AEB in corners to reduce the collision risk when ghost probes occur.

Finally, parking, Extreme Yue 07 supports automatic parking under dark conditions and ultra-narrow parking spaces, and the automatic parking scene has been further expanded.

In addition, according to Xia Yiping, by the end of this year, all places where Baidu maps can be used nationwide can be used as far as ASD.

It is worth mentioning that the ultra-smart driving has two more interesting small functions.

The first is the automatic turn signal. As long as the navigation is turned on, Extreme Crossing 07 can automatically turn on the turn signal in advance, regardless of whether it enters the ASD intelligent driving state or not.

Followed by automatic shifting. At present, the automatic gear shifting of Extreme Yue 07 is only supported when the vehicle starts. After getting on the bus, the user can automatically judge whether to put forward gear or reverse gear when starting through the path when parking. After that, Extreme Yue 07 will also support automatic shifting in more scenes, such as turning around at intersections.

Of course, users can turn off these two functions if they are not used to them. At the same time, in Xia Yiping’s view, getting on the train with these two functions can better let users understand why there is no turn signal lever and physical shift mechanism.

Xia Yiping said that many people say that some designs are anti-human, but they are actually not anti-human designs.Things that need to get out of the comfort zone, such as study, fitness and independent thinking, and difficult and correct things are all anti-human, and it is these anti-human things that promote social progress.

Xia Yiping also boldly predicted that two years later, more smart cars will take off the turn signal lever and physical gear shifting mechanism. Because in Xia Yiping’s view, this is what smart cars should look like.

In the intelligent cockpit, the Extreme Yue 07 is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P chip, which lays a hardware foundation for users to operate silky on the 35.6-inch fishscreen. Xia Yiping even said that the car will not be stuck for ten years.

At the same time, Extreme Yue has also reached a cooperation with Tengxunda. Tencent’s Game will be premiered in Extreme Yue 07, and users can play 3A games such as Black Myth Wukong and Genshin Impact in the cockpit.

As a smart car from the vast architecture of Geely SEA, the handling ability of Extreme Yue 07 can not be ignored.

In terms of handling, the suspension of Extreme Yue 07 adopts the combination of front double wishbone and rear H-Arm multi-links. This suspension combination, coupled with the motor with the maximum power of 530 kW, the fastest acceleration of 3.50 seconds and the foundation of vast architecture, I believe that the Extreme Yue 07 will also have a good performance in handling.

As for the intelligence and control ability of Extreme Yue 07, you can continue to pay attention to our evaluation content.

Extreme Yue 07 is a key product for extreme Yue to reverse brand momentum and sales performance.

Since the official listing of Extreme Yue 01 at the end of October last year, it has not aroused much market splash, resulting in the extreme Yue has not completely opened up the situation in the new energy market. According to the official WeChat official account of Extreme Vietnam, on September 2 this year, Extreme Vietnam first announced some monthly sales since the listing of Extreme Vietnam 01-444 units in June; 1,019 units in July; 2,117 in August.

Although the sales volume has increased, it is still not excellent. The more urgent it is to fight a beautiful turnaround through the extreme 07.

Judging from the product strength of Extreme Yue 07 itself, in the face of Xiaomi SU7, Extreme Krypton 007 and pure electric cars with the same price, Extreme Yue 07 still has obvious product characteristics and very competitive product value.

However, in terms of products, Extreme Yue 07 is facing a significant problem-the product functional design of a small number of people has raised the adaptation cost of users, and the high adaptation cost of users has further raised the explanation cost of Extreme Yue to users.

A typical example is the key-type door opening design. Push-button door opening is a relatively small door opening design method in the current market. For this design, some users feel that in the event of an accident, the door cannot be opened. In order to prove the safety and stability of the key-type door opening of Extreme Yue 07, Extreme Yue recently even gave it a test of rolling twice on a 20 m high slope.

In addition to the push-button door opening, the relatively small designs such as canceling the turn signal lever and automatic turn signal/gear shifting on the Extreme Yue 07 are actually facing similar problems.

Of course, to sell a car well, it is not enough just to have a strong product. Brand influence, number of channels and delivery ability are equally important. In fact, in these aspects, Extreme Vietnam is indeed stepping up remedial classes at present.

In terms of brand, Xia Yiping is currently broadcasting or publishing content frequently on mainstream social media platforms to create personal IP to expand the brand awareness of Chaoyue.

In terms of channels, according to official website, Jiyue currently has 133 operating sales stores (including 42 in pop-up shop) in China, and the lineup of stores has already begun to take shape.

In terms of delivery capacity, the recent monthly delivery volume has reached more than 2,000, and there has been a capacity bottleneck. It can be seen that even if a large number of orders flood in, it is very difficult to catch them. However, according to the official, Extreme Vietnam has already started to solve the problem of capacity bottleneck. The production capacity of Extreme Vietnam 07 should be relatively more optimistic.

A more positive signal is that Baidu Li Yanhong and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited Zeng Yuqun were both present at the 07 conference, while Geely Li Shufu sent a blessing video and said that they would continue to support the development of the company. This may mean that Extreme Vietnam will have very rich resources to support this turnaround battle with Extreme Vietnam 07.

On the whole, in order to make a good turnaround, Ji Yue has clenched his fist and made comprehensive preparations as much as possible. Xia Yiping also said at the 07 conference site:

Let’s fight!

Happy New Year, everyone. 2017 has come quietly. Here, on behalf of all the colleagues of Xiaofan Tui, I wish the riders a full harvest and happiness in the new year. In 2017, Xiaofan Braking Car will continue to bring practical knowledge of car use and car selection to riders, and will certainly live up to the love of riders.

What I bring to you today is an old car, Changan Yidong 2015, manual deluxe edition, which is the car in the picture above. Let me briefly introduce the configuration attributes of this car.

The size of the escape car body is 4620X1820X1490, the width of the car is close to that of the B-class car, and the length is also good in the A-class car. The wheelbase is 2660mm, which is not small in this class. I don’t know how the interior space of the car is, which will be mentioned in later articles.

The escape displacement is 1.6 naturally aspirated. The engine is developed by French R&D Department of Changan Automobile. It is a high-speed engine, and the cylinder block is made of aluminum alloy. The gasoline model recommended by the manufacturer is 92 # gasoline, which is also in response to the use requirements of clean energy advocated by the state. The engine provides the maximum power of 92KW and the maximum torque of 160Nm, which is completely sufficient for the positioning of a "grocery shopping" car in daily life, and the power output is also good.

The rider’s car has traveled 13,832 kilometers. It has just been bought for a year, and it is going to be guaranteed for three times soon. The owner didn’t drive much this year. The specific working conditions are urban transportation, going to work, picking up children, etc. I often stop and wait for red lights and traffic jams. The fuel consumption meter shows that the fuel consumption performance is 6.9. Of course, the meter of this car is not particularly accurate. This fuel consumption shows that the owner’s technology is still very good. We got the car and measured the fuel consumption. We added 100 yuan of fuel, and ran for about 220 kilometers. Towns, cities and highways each accounted for one-third of the road conditions, which was less than 50 cents per kilometer. This fuel consumption performance is still a little higher than that of joint venture cars of the same level.

The owner is a very clean person, so the engine room is very clean, which is what we advocate. A clean engine room is very helpful for the maintenance of the engine and the circuit system, so we also suggest that riders maintain and clean the engine room of their cars.

After a brief introduction to these, the following is a detailed evaluation of all aspects:

First, the spatial expression: We describe it in detail from back to front.

1. Trunk space:

The depth of the trunk still has a good performance compared with the A-class car of the same level, and of course it can’t be compared with the trunk of the B-class car. The opening size of Yidong’s trunk is also good, which is also very convenient for placing large items. The owner is a very tidy person, and the whole trunk is very tidy. After putting so many items, the owner can still put a big boarding box in the back. The only disadvantage is that the rear seats can’t be laid down, that is, the trunk space can’t be expanded. If the car falls into the water, it is not conducive to the escape of the passengers. This is a disadvantage. I hope the manufacturer can put down the seats in the redesigned escape car.

2. Interior space of carriage:

I am 175cm, and the front driver’s seat is my most comfortable driving position. After I sit in the back, my leg space performance is quite good, and my fist is one thumb wider, so the space performance in the back row is still very good. In the same class, the space performance is quite good, and the head space also has four fingers. Maybe I am short and can’t represent the riding experience of most riders, but it can also explain the general riding experience.

Second, the appearance:

1. Positive face:

The front face of Yidong is very attractive, and the upper and lower air intake nets particularly complement each other. The chrome-plated strip on it is very classy. The only drawback is that I don’t know if this chrome-plated strip will rust and change color after being beaten by wind and rain. At present, the car of one year has not found such signs. The willow headlights are also very beautiful. The edges and corners of the headlights are connected with the A-pillar lines and continue to the top of the cover. The streamline feels particularly good. Fog lights are equipped at the front and rear, and now many joint venture vehicles at the same level have cancelled fog lights, which is a very unreasonable cancellation, because the visibility is not high on rainy days, foggy days and roads without street lights at night, and it is indeed a very practical equipment to have fog lights. I also hope that joint venture vehicles at the same level can be equipped with this equipment as standard.

2. Side:

The streamline on the side of the escape is also very eye-catching. The shape of the door stiffener and the door handle complement each other. This angle looks like the escape body is not small, and the edges and corners of the rear taillights continue to the door stiffener. It doesn’t seem to have any abrupt feeling. The feeling of the following stiffener is a little sporty, which adds a lot of dynamic elements to this car.

3. Behind:

Escape ass doesn’t feel bloated, although it looks fat, but it is very durable. The taillights are very clever. The backup lights are placed below, and the backup lights on both sides are on. Some cars only have one light, but this backup light is not too bright. It is not too safe to back up at night. You can turn on the double flash to back up, and the brightness is guaranteed.

Third, the interior performance:

1, work:

The interior workmanship is excellent at this level, and the stitching is very regular. The kind of stitching that does not appear crooked looks very unpleasant, and the assembly process of the escape is good. I have also tested other models of Changan, and the workmanship of Changan Automobile is quite good. This should be praised.

The platform of Zhongkong is made of hard plastic. It is true that it is basically this kind of hard plastic in the level of 80,000 naked cars. However, this hard plastic that is easy to move is still very comfortable to touch, and there is no sense of cheapness in the joint venture car. The feeling of soft leather created is still very real. This is what many car manufacturers should learn, which shows that Changan is making cars with heart.

2. Small details of central control:

Yidong’s central control uses a lot of chrome decoration, which makes the car look very classy, from gear lever, air conditioning adjustment button to media control button, which instantly appears tall. In terms of feel, the handle of the gear lever is particularly good and comfortable to touch, and the inhalation feeling of the gear is also particularly comfortable. The damping feeling of the air conditioner adjusting knob is particularly good, and the touch feel of the key is beyond the positioning quality of this product.

3. Multimedia functions:

Yidong’s multimedia screen is a touch screen, and the response is average. In the past, car Bluetooth is also very practical. Listening to songs and answering phones are very practical. Yidong does not support mobile phone mapping, but it is very authentic at this level. The navigation interface is also very concise and clear. I have no experience in the accuracy of the specific route. The owner told me that he also used this navigation on strange roads, which is said to be very practical. The reversing image is also very clear, and there is also a cycloid that rotates with the direction, which is a very practical function when reversing. USB and a separate power supply socket are provided below, and the cigarette lighter is independent, which provides a lot of convenience for smokers.

4. Storage space:

Escape storage space is still very good, the two cup holders are quite satisfactory, and the depth is not very deep. Generally, driving, the water cup is fairly stable. The small storage compartment in front of the gear lever is very practical. It is very good to put mobile phones and small invoices in it. This is a good design. Now many cars also adopt this design, which shows that this design is practical. The door handle can also be used as a storage compartment. The mobile phone can’t be put down, so you can put small items such as sugar. There is a large storage tank below, and bottled water can be put in front, but remember to tighten the bottle cap to prevent water from spilling out. The mobile phone and wallet can be put in the back, which is also very convenient. The other three doors are also designed in this way, which is a good design and convenient.

5. Other practical details:

Eye box: it’s very big, and there is a lot of room for my big glasses to put in. The reading light will light up when you press it directly, which is very convenient and practical.

Cosmetic mirror: it is very practical for ladies who love beauty. There are cosmetic mirrors on the driver and passenger, so taking your wife out will not be nagged by her because she urges her to go out.

Electronic clock: The electronic clock is in the middle of the center console, which is convenient for drivers to watch the time without looking down at the mobile phone. This is also a very practical function and does not affect safe driving.

Four, power matching and chassis control:

1. Power matching:

This engine is a high-speed engine developed by Changan Automobile, with a displacement of 1.6. It is also used in Changan Yuexiang V7. The low torque of this power is not very good, and it feels very fleshy at first. It is a bit like a turbocharged engine when the speed reaches 1500 rpm. The engine speed is really high, which is about 500 rpm higher in the case of the same gear and the same speed. When the high speed is 120KM/h in the fifth gear, the speed reaches 3500 rpm, and the power output at 4000 rpm is also very powerful. There is no feeling of powerlessness.

The whole power matching is not linear, and the clutch is high. After the first and second gears are shifted, the starting action will have a sense of frustration, which will bring bad driving skills to the passengers. Now this power matching is also used in Chang ‘an Yuexiang V7 manual gear, but there is no such feeling of frustration. I wonder if the new escape manual gear has also been adjusted. If there is no adjustment, I suggest you buy the new automatic version of Yidong. Now it is 6AT, which is good for the control of fuel consumption. If riders have a new manual version, lend me a test drive and give you better advice.

Escape also has a good performance on engine noise suppression. Sound insulation materials should also be made of good materials. At high speed, the engine noise will be transmitted to the cab, but at high speed, the wind noise will cover up the engine noise. If you don’t listen carefully, you won’t hear too many engine sounds.

2. Chassis control:

Let’s talk about this steering wheel first. The three steering wheels are too big, feel good, and the thickness is moderate. This steering wheel is a multi-function steering wheel, which can be used to control phone calls and media control, which is quite convenient in practice. The direction of the escape power is hydraulic power, which is heavier than the direction of electronic power. It is a small test for female drivers. When reversing and starting the vehicle, the direction is heavier and needs to be adapted.

Yi Yi’s chassis suspension is: front: L-arm McPherson strut suspension, rear: towed arm suspension. Yi Yi’s site training is a kind of hard, and it is not a comfortable car because it will feel bumpy when passing through the speed bump or running over the manhole cover. When passing through the speed bump, riders can pass at low speed.

Escape control is good in the same class car, because the suspension is hard, the car’s roll is small when cornering, and the car’s tracking performance is better when cornering fast, which will bring a lot of confidence to the driver. Coupled with the precise direction, it can be said that it refers to where to fight, not as vague as the direction of electronic power assistance at the same level, and can not give people confidence in cornering.

The NVH of the chassis is well controlled, which is excellent compared with the joint venture car of the same level. When passing through the unpaved road, the tiny vibration of the site tires will still be transmitted into the carriage. Of course, the price is there, and it can’t be compared with the B-class car of more than 200,000. As mentioned above, it is not a comfortable car, so you don’t have to worry too much about this matter.

V. Safety equipment:

All the safety driving equipment listed in the above list includes: driver’s airbag, engine electronic anti-theft, braking force distribution, traction control, ESP, reversing radar and reversing image, etc. The whole system of Yidong comes standard with ESP, which is not available in many joint venture vehicles of the same level. This function will not be used unless it is absolutely necessary. Once used, it is a life-saving equipment, which can give Changan a compliment. Finally, put a beautiful photo of xiaoyi.

Once again, I wish all riders a happy New Year. If there are any mistakes, I humbly accept your criticisms and corrections.

-Xiao Fan pulls the car-

　　The launching ceremony of biodiesel (B5) made from kitchen waste oil in China Petrochemical Gas Station was recently held in Zhuanghang Gas Station, Fengxian District, Shanghai.

　　Xu Kunlin, deputy mayor of Shanghai, said that the start-up of the pilot project of adding kitchen waste oil to biodiesel B5 at Sinopec gas station is of great significance, which indicates that the "last mile" of resource utilization of kitchen waste oil in this city is about to get through. He demanded that all relevant units continue to deepen the pilot work, oil supply enterprises should ensure the quality of oil products, and relevant government departments should further strengthen the division of labor and cooperation, actively serve enterprises, and lay a solid foundation for the promotion of the whole city next year.

　　Zuo Xingkai, Chairman and Party Secretary of China Petrochemical Shanghai Petroleum Company, said that the "normalization" of biodiesel applied to vehicles can not only eliminate the safety risk of waste oil returning to the dining table, but also help to reduce urban pollution, which is a major event benefiting the country and the people. Shanghai Petroleum has a great responsibility and a glorious mission to get this pilot promotion opportunity, and will do its best to do this low-carbon environmental protection project.

　　At present, Shanghai Petroleum has chosen two gas stations as pilot stations to fill biodiesel for the city’s transportation system and vehicles in specific industries. After a period of operation, it will be evaluated and then gradually opened to social vehicles. During the pilot period, the retail price of B5 biodiesel is 95% lower than that of vehicle diesel, with a discount of 0.30 yuan/liter, which encourages more social vehicles to use biodiesel.

　　It is reported that Shanghai has made it clear that the kitchen waste oil collected by the whole city will be given priority to the bus pilot project. As long as conditions permit, about 30,000 to 40,000 tons of kitchen waste oil produced in Shanghai can be transported to designated units to produce biodiesel. In addition, Shanghai promulgated the Emergency Support Measures for the Collection, Transportation and Disposal of Biodiesel Made from Waste Kitchen Oils, which requires that in case of market failure, the relevant disposal enterprises should be subsidized to ensure their normal operation.

　

　　[Global Network Reporter Zhu Jiaqi] "Biden said that he had previously visited Ireland for ‘ Make sure that the British are not fooling around ’ 。” The British "Daily Telegraph" reported Biden’s latest criticism of Britain on this topic on the 11th. He warned the latter that if it really tore up the "Northern Ireland Protocol" with the EU, the United States might "forget" the Anglo-American Free Trade Agreement.

Biden met with Irish Prime Minister Valade during his visit to Ireland in April. Source: Foreign media

　　It is reported that Biden’s criticism of Britain was made in a speech at the Democratic National Committee of new york on the evening of 10th. Biden said that his previous visit to Ireland was to "ensure that the British did not commit any mischief" and did not "betray" their commitment in the Northern Ireland Peace Agreement.

　　According to the report, Biden and other Democrats believe that Britain’s "Brexit" is a threat to the peace process in Northern Ireland, because the latter may bring Ireland and Northern Ireland back to the land "hard border" situation again.

　　According to media reports, the "Northern Ireland Protocol" is part of the British "Brexit" agreement. According to the agreement, Northern Ireland will remain in the European Single Market and the EU Customs Union to prevent the "hard border" on land in Ireland. However, some goods entering Northern Ireland from Great Britain are subject to customs and border security inspection. After signing the "Brexit" agreement, the British side constantly complained that the protocol was rigid, interfered with trade in Northern Ireland, aggravated political instability, and demanded amendments. Negotiations between Britain and Europe on amending the Protocol lasted for some time, and the relationship between the two sides was once tense.

　　Northern Ireland has always been a special area of Britain with strong political instability. On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Northern Ireland Peace Agreement, that is, in April this year, US President Biden arrived in Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland, to start his visit to Britain and Ireland.

　　According to previous reports, Biden also said before his visit that his primary task was to "maintain peace in Northern Ireland" and help ease his political paralysis. However, The Guardian believed at that time that Biden was unlikely to ease the deadlock by himself, and the "hard border" created by Brexit in Britain destroyed trust and balance. Although the Windsor Framework eased the situation, trust reconstruction would be a slow process.

　　As for the "Windsor Framework", on February 27th this year, Britain and the European Union announced that they had reached the agreement, making new arrangements for the trade in Northern Ireland after Brexit. Although the framework was supported and affirmed by the political circles of Britain, Ireland, the European Union and the United States, it was not supported by democratic unionist party in Northern Ireland, who also refused to restart the parliament together with Sinn Fein and other parties. This political deadlock has not been broken so far.

　　On the 18th, former US Vice President Joe Biden, who will turn 78, was formally nominated as the Democratic presidential candidate in 2020 at the Democratic National Congress. In the first two challenges, he stopped at intra-party competition; This time, can deus ex win?

　　This live video shot on August 18th shows Joe Biden celebrating after being nominated as the US Democratic presidential candidate in 2020. Xinhua News Agency reporter Liu Jie photo

　　Veteran politicians are ill-fated

　　Biden was born into a middle-class family in Pennsylvania in November 1942. When he was a teenager, he moved to Delaware with his family. He studied at the University of Delaware and Syracuse University and obtained a law degree.

　　Biden once wrote in his autobiography that when he was a child, his elders often discussed international and domestic politics, and he couldn’t wait to participate, which laid the foundation for his political career. After graduating from Syracuse University in 1968, Biden worked as a lawyer and became active in Delaware politics as a democratic party member. In 1972, he was elected to the Delaware Senate, becoming one of the youngest senators in American history.

　　During his 36-year career as a federal senator, Biden served as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee for a long time and twice as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He ran for president twice in 1988 and 2008, but neither was nominated by the party. In the 2008 general election, Biden withdrew from the intra-party competition and became the running mate of Obama, who was later elected president, and eventually became the vice president of the United States, and was re-elected four years later. Long-term political experience has enabled Biden not only to establish a deep foundation and extensive contacts, but also to accumulate enough experience in internal affairs and diplomacy.

　　Biden had many setbacks in his life. When he was a child, he was laughed at by his classmates for stuttering, and finally he overcame the language barrier by reciting long poems in front of the mirror. A few weeks after he was elected to the Senate for the first time, his wife and youngest daughter were killed in a car accident and their two sons were seriously injured. He finally decided to take office in the Senate after being persuaded by colleagues and friends. In 2015, his son bo Biden died of brain cancer, and he suffered a heavy blow again. Biden’s running mate Kamala Harris was Bo’s close friend, and this relationship was one of the reasons why he finally chose Harris.

　　The policy "turns left" and its implementation is doubtful.

　　The National Congress of the Democratic Party adopted a new party program on 18th, covering COVID-19 epidemic, economy, medical insurance, race, diplomacy and other fields, which was generally "moderate" and absorbed some ideas of "progressives" within the Party. This reflects Biden’s policy objectives.

　　The epidemic situation in COVID-19 and ethnic issues are important issues in this year’s general election. In response to the epidemic situation in COVID-19, the new party platform proposed to expand the scope of testing, strengthen contact tracking, and provide free testing, treatment and vaccines. Biden, who usually wears masks during the epidemic, also called for a national mandatory mask-wearing order. On the issue of race, Biden promised to solve the problem of "systematic racism" in American society within 100 days after taking office. He also took solving ethnic problems as part of his economic recovery plan, and promised to increase capital investment in education, employment, income, housing, supporting small businesses and other fields to ensure equal opportunities for ethnic minorities.

　　However, some American media have pointed out that Biden has refused the Democratic Party to turn left for decades, but now he has absorbed the "progressive" proposition for the sake of "unity". The current policy must be bolder than that when he was a senator and vice president. "This is a contradiction in itself." There may be a gap between his campaign promise and actual implementation.

　　The polls are ahead, but there are shortcomings.

　　Since the presidential nomination was locked in April, Biden’s poll support rate in the national and key swing States has been ahead of President Trump seeking re-election. According to a poll conducted by the Pew Research Center in the United States in June, compared with Trump, voters think Biden is more peaceful, more honest, more concerned about the needs of ordinary people and a better role model. On policy issues, Biden is less recognized than Trump in economic policy, and is more optimistic in justice, foreign policy, epidemic response, ethnic issues, national unity and so on.

　　However, it is worth noting that the poll conducted by the Pew Research Center from July to August showed that more than half of Biden supporters expressed their support for Biden because they opposed Trump, which was much higher than other options such as leadership, personality and policy stance.

　　Despite the lead in the polls, Biden is not without shortcomings. The first is the age issue. If Biden wins, he will become the oldest president of the United States when he was first elected. Polls show that about one-third of Biden’s supporters are worried about his old age and health.

　　Secondly, Biden’s current policy stance shows more signs of "turning left" than that in the pre-selection stage. The Trump campaign team is taking advantage of this in the near future and spares no effort to portray him as a "tool of radical left wing".

　　Thirdly, although Biden plays the "Unity Card", his ability to mobilize the enthusiasm of voters still lags behind Trump. However, affected by the epidemic, it is difficult for Biden to hold large-scale rallies and campaign activities. The current ratings of this year’s Democratic National Congress, which is mainly presented in the form of online live broadcast, are not as good as four years ago, which may make it more difficult to make up for this shortcoming.
