Zhuang Jide, born in March 1929 in Zhenhai, Zhejiang, is an automotive engineering expert. He graduated from the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Shanghai Jiaotong University in July 1952, worked as an assistant teacher at Shandong Institute of Technology in Jinan from August 1952 to July 1954, joined the Communist Party of China in March 1954, and graduated from the Moscow Institute of Automotive Mechanics in the Soviet Union from August 1955 to February 1959, and obtained a Ph.D. in Technical Science. Since 1959, he has served as an associate professor, professor, department head, president, and doctoral supervisor at Jilin University of Technology. He is a core member of the Off-Road Vehicle Group of the China Automobile Society, deputy director of the Ground Machinery System Research Association of the China Agricultural Machinery Society, a model worker of Jilin Province, and vice chairman of the Jilin Provincial Science and Technology Association.

After returning to China from the Soviet Union, Zhuang Jide has been engaged in teaching and scientific research in the automotive field. He has taught many courses such as "Automobile Structure", "Automobile Design" and "Automobile Ground Mechanics". He has a solid theoretical foundation and strong scientific research ability. He has made remarkable achievements and innovations in the long-term research on off-road vehicle theory and design. His early papers, published in the Soviet magazine "Automobile Industry", attracted widespread attention and were cited many times in the works of some Soviet scholars. He has unique research in "Automobile Ground Mechanics" and "Off-road Vehicle Design", and his research results are in the leading position in the country. He has compiled a large number of high-level textbooks. In 1954, he translated and published the Soviet Higher Industrial College textbook "Automobile Structure and Calculation"; in 1961, he edited and published the first domestic textbook "Automobile Design"; in 1980, he compiled and published the textbook "Ground Vehicle System Analysis and Design". During his 10 years as the director of the National Automobile Professional Teaching Steering Committee, he guided the formulation of a unified national automobile professional teaching syllabus and teaching plan, organized the compilation of more than 20 series of professional textbooks, and made important contributions to the modernization and standardization of the automobile talent training system. A series of research results in automobile ground mechanics and off-road vehicle passability are at the leading level in China. Among them, the research results on sand passability - "Dynamic characteristics of sand and improving automobile passability" have been applied to EQ2406D desert vehicles, which are at the international advanced level. He has also written two monographs, "Automotive Ground Mechanics" and "Automobile Passability", which were first published in China and abroad. He was the first in China to creatively integrate multidisciplinary theories such as "system analysis", "technical economy" and "ground mechanics" into the interdisciplinary comprehensive theory of "ground vehicle system analysis and design", providing a systematic engineering comprehensive analysis method for automobile development. His pioneering new research field of "vehicle bionic engineering" has achieved internationally leading research results in "camel sand crossing mechanism", "sand bionic tires" and "theory and key technology research of ground bionic machinery".

During his eight years as president of Jilin University of Technology, Zhuang Jide devoted himself to the study of higher education management and served concurrently as director of the Higher Education Research Institute of Jilin University of Technology. He published several influential papers in China, such as "How can single-discipline institutions give full play to their advantages and characteristics" and "On the introduction of competition mechanism into higher education". He also made Jilin University of Technology realize four transformations: from a single-discipline institution to a multi-discipline institution, from a pure teaching type to a teaching and research type, from a closed type to an open type, and from a pure undergraduate training type to a balanced emphasis on undergraduates and postgraduates. He has made outstanding contributions to the establishment and development of my country's automotive talent training base and the improvement of the automotive discipline education system.

Recently, the Sichuan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision announced the relevant information about the case of Yu Zhebin, former Party Secretary, Chairman, and General Manager of Panzhihua Public Transport Company. This state-owned enterprise "leader" once publicly stated that he only drank famous wines such as Feitian Maotai, Wuliangye, and Guojiao 1573 when drinking alcohol, and only smoked famous cigarettes such as Ruan Zhonghua and Da Zhong Jiu. Yu Zhebin, born in August 1963, initially worked in automotive repair, but later became a technical backbone of the young team due to his hard work. Later, he entered a management position. But this story was soon replaced by his extravagant and corrupt behavior. The investigation found that there were over 400 bottles of famous liquor carefully stored in Yu Zhebin's cellar, all of which were sent by his subordinates and management service recipients. Not only that, when faced with red envelopes and gifts from subordinates, he takes all sizes,

Expanding Domestic Demand through Policy Precision Services (Reporter's Note) Industry | Economy | Domestic Demand

Since the beginning of this year, China's economy and society have fully resumed normal operation, macroeconomic policies have been coordinated and strengthened, and the triple pressures of demand contraction, supply shock, and weakened expectations have been alleviated. Economic growth has been better than expected, market demand has gradually recovered, and economic development has shown a rebound and positive trend, achieving a good start to economic operation. The author recently conducted research in three provinces located in the eastern, central, and western regions. From workshops to fields, from numbers to actual results, I fully felt the enthusiasm of various business entities to strive for upward growth. Furthermore, the current improvement in China's economic performance is mainly restorative, with weak endogenous driving forces and insufficient demand. Economic transformation and upgrading face new obstacles, and promoting high-quality development still requires overcoming many difficulties and challenges. How to enhance the efficiency of proactive fiscal policies and better serve the current economic task of expanding domestic demand

Several well-known Wall Street investment banks have been rumoring layoffs since last year, but around May this year, a second wave of layoffs hit, including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, Credit Suisse, and UBS. But this is not the end yet. According to sources from several headhunters and professionals in the investment banking and research departments of international investment banks, First Financial has learned that due to the bleak global primary market, the "trading shortage" has seriously affected the profitability of investment banks. Therefore, the third wave of layoffs in the future may still be difficult to avoid. The IBD, which had expanded significantly earlier, is a severely affected area that could affect anyone from beginners to managing directors. It is worth noting that although some investment bank layoffs involve Chinese businesses, they mainly involve personnel in Hong Kong, and the impact is relatively small. Several top investment banks have made significant layoffs and reduced costs, according to reports from foreign media. Due to the sluggish trading environment, Gao Shengzheng

In the return search mission of the Shenzhou spacecraft, timely and stable communication is an important factor in determining whether the search and rescue team can find the return capsule and rescue astronauts in a timely manner. At the Dongfeng landing site, there is a team distributed among professional search and rescue forces in the air and on the ground, providing communication support for astronaut search and rescue decision-making and command. The fourth landing point forecast for Beijing has been issued, Xiongying. Xiongying understands that the longitude of the landing point is 100 degrees and 05 minutes east longitude. This is a comprehensive exercise for the return of the Shenzhou-15 spacecraft to the entire system. The communication team of the aerial team has just received the final landing point forecast, and they need to land and complete the first communication link construction of the return module landing point in the shortest possible time. They need to transmit images and voice to Beijing as soon as possible, so that the whole country can see the health status of the astronauts. CCTV reporter Shen Ling: In Flight

But... the United States wants to persuade the so-called "wall riders" to confront China. Washington | Foreign Policy | The United States

On May 31st, the website of the bimonthly issue of Foreign Policy in the United States published an article titled "The Indo Pacific has chosen Gate Three", written by Kelly Greco, a senior researcher at the Stimson Center in the United States. The article excerpt is as follows: Washington wants to persuade the so-called "wall riders" - countries such as India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam - to join the alliance against China. In order to force many countries to "de risk" their economies, the United States has depicted a picture of dividing the region into two camps: those who support the United States and those who lean towards China. According to the logic of the United States, those countries that are currently "riding the wall" are just delaying, and Washington can tilt the balance towards itself with more attention, visits, and money. But not many Asia Pacific countries measure the challenges they face in half
