Dongguan, August 9 (Reporter Wu Tao) On the 9th, at the Huawei Developers Conference, Huawei’s own system HarmonyOS was officially released. HarmonyOS is an open source, which can be used in large screens, PCs, cars and other different devices. HarmonyOS can also be used on mobile phones at any time, but for the time being, Huawei still gives priority to Android.

　　HarmonyOS system release: compatible with Android.

　　According to reports, the original intention of HarmonyOS system design is to meet the high-standard connection requirements of the intelligent experience of the whole scene, so Huawei has proposed a system solution with four characteristics.

　　First of all, HarmonyOS is the first time that the distributed architecture is applied to the terminal OS, realizing a seamless collaborative experience across terminals.

　　Secondly, HarmonyOS system solves the problem of insufficient performance of the existing system by using two technologies: deterministic delay engine and high-performance IPC. Its application response delay is reduced by 25.7%; The efficiency of process communication is 5 times higher than that of the existing system.

　　Thirdly, HarmonyOS system adopts a brand-new microkernel design. According to reports, this makes HarmonyOS have stronger security features and low time delay. At the same time, because the code amount of HarmonyOS system microkernel is only one thousandth of that of Linux macro kernel, its attack probability is also greatly reduced.

　　Finally, HarmonyOS also supports one-time development and multi-terminal deployment through a unified IDE, realizing cross-terminal ecological sharing. In addition, Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei’s consumer business, introduced that HarmonyOS is compatible with Android.

　　HarmonyOS open source, first used for smart screen.

　　Huawei also announced the evolution roadmap of HarmonyOS kernel and OS, and will take the lead in using HarmonyOS OS 1.0 in the smart screen products launched this year. In the next three years, in addition to improving related technologies, HarmonyOS system will be gradually applied to more intelligent devices such as wearables and automobiles.

　　In addition, it is noteworthy that, in order to rapidly promote the ecological development of HarmonyOS OS, HarmonyOS OS will open its source to developers all over the world, and promote the establishment of an open source foundation and an open source community, so as to jointly promote the development of HarmonyOS with developers, and make suggestions on industrial or technological development through discussion.

　　Yu Chengdong said, "I believe that the launch of OS in HarmonyOS will greatly enhance the vitality of the industry and the richness of ecology, and I hope that the launch of OS in HarmonyOS will bring more colorful experiences to the whole scene era. Welcome global developers to actively support the ecological construction of HarmonyOS OS. " (End)

Recently, a romantic comedy movie which will be released nationwide on January 18th has broadcast an interesting behind-the-scenes tidbit on Russian channel. In the tidbits, not only the winter scenery across the two countries is shown to the audience, but also the shooting process of human-bear interaction and swimming in the snow is revealed one by one. More praised by the media: "The laughter resonates, and the story is warm and dramatic", which makes people look forward to it more and more.

The humor of the first "happy encounter" between Chinese and Russian cultures on the big screen breaks the distance and becomes an international language.

In the behind-the-scenes footage broadcast, the audience was shown a number of shooting locations with increasingly strong winter atmosphere, from Suzhou and Shanghai to Beijing and Moscow journey to the south. There are also the original players in the series: oligarchs, little princesses and other familiar characters. Among them, swimming outdoors in winter in Russia and interacting with the famous cute brown bear are full of freshness.

As the first Sino-Russian co-production film, the film "The Cultivation of Fighting Nation" opened the most joyful and romantic encounter this winter. The first collision between the two cultures on the big screen is a happy encounter of humor without borders. It can not only satisfy China audience’s curiosity about the fighting nation, but also be a window for Russia to understand China culture.

The most practical "meeting the father-in-law" practical strategy at the end of the year resonates with the topic of international marriage and love.

The film "The Cultivation of Fighting Nation" tells an adventure story of a "Shanghai little son-in-law" who went to Russia to meet the "father-in-law of fighting nation". In the film, the tough Russian father-in-law set up a lot of hurdles to stop this marriage: Vodka wine bureau, polar winter swimming, high-temperature sauna, crazy racing and so on. Can’t help but wonder if our hero has a chance to win the beauty back.

Although the story of the film "Meeting my father-in-law" is humorous and full of dramatic conflicts, the warm story resonates strongly. The master also said: "This simple and kind story will definitely find a response in the hearts of audiences from all over the world." "From Shanghai to Moscow, from the Great Wall to the road covered by heavy snow, love has no boundaries and no distance." The evaluation is even more touching.

　　Strange beautiful women add you to WeChat, chat, create ambiguity, become bosom friends, and want to meet you … … In fact, it’s all a routine, cheating on feelings first and then cheating on money. Yesterday, the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department held a "Hurricane No.10" action conference to announce that on June 21, the provincial public security department organized more than 1,800 police officers to launch a network-closing operation, destroying 70 mega-pyramid-style online dating fraud dens and online gambling dens, arresting 543 suspects of telecommunication network fraud and online gambling, freezing nearly 1,000 bank accounts involved, and seizing and freezing about 100 million yuan of illegal money.

　　Text/Guangzhou Daily reporter Li Dong, Lu Wenjie, Yang Yang

　　Correspondents Ceng Xianglong, Guo Jiaming and Xu Pei.

　　On April 15, 2016, Shenzhen police received an alarm from a 32-year-old male victim, Zhao, saying that he had encountered a scam while chatting online, and he was defrauded of 8,700 yuan in just ten days.

　　"Beauty" actively "falls in love" with you.

　　Zhao said that one day, a strange beauty suddenly took the initiative to add her as a WeChat friend. After chatting, they hit it off and chatted happily with their real names. For example, we greet each other when we get up every morning, and we will be caring and attentive when we sleep at night. I talked about it for about a week, and the other party wanted to determine the relationship with Zhao.

　　One day, when chatting, a beautiful woman said that she was in a taxi and suddenly had acute appendicitis, so she had to go to the hospital for surgery immediately. Since she didn’t bring much money when she went out, she asked Zhao if she could borrow some money for emergency. At this time, the taxi driver also answered the phone, "confirmed" that there was indeed a woman in the car who suddenly became ill, and then enthusiastically sent it to the hospital. Zhao believed it and hit more than 2,000 yuan. After two days, the beauty who finished the operation returned Zhao two or three hundred yuan, saying that it was the cost of the operation that was not used up. Zhao was more convinced of the beauty.

　　Then, the beauty borrowed money from Zhao on the grounds that the operation was not perfect enough and the later physical recovery needed nutrition. Out of concern, Zhao proposed to visit the hospital, but the beauty immediately refused, and later she couldn’t be contacted. Later, Zhao’s WeChat was blacked out, and he woke up: the beauty is a liar!

　　In fact, the "beauty" chatting with Zhao’s WeChat was a man. When the phone was contacted, it was answered by a female member of the gang. The taxi driver was also posing as a member of the gang. The gang of three men and three women took turns to play various roles and talked with Zhao for ten days.

　　On June 21, the task force decisively closed the net, and the police smashed 20 online dating fraud dens in Humen and Houjie in Dongguan. Up to now, 82 suspects, led by Li Mou, Zhang Mou (female) and Chen Mou, have been criminally detained, and 103 victims have been initially verified.

　　The ticket medical records are all PS

　　The same "affair" story also happened in Dongguan. In February 2016, another victim, Zhao, who worked in Dongguan, met a netizen who claimed to be a "beauty" in Guangxi through QQ. The two had been chatting with QQ for a few months and gradually developed feelings. "Beauty" said that her mother was ill, and the family needed money urgently, so she borrowed money from Zhao. After Zhao paid the money, "Beauty" gratefully said "You are a good man" and then offered to come to Dongguan to meet him.

　　Zhao did not hesitate to remit the fare, and the "beauty" also showed him the ticket he bought (in fact, the ticket was PS), and Zhao was full of expectations. The next day, the "beauty" in the car suddenly fell ill and had to be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. In the process, a "conductor" and a "doctor" came out to confirm this situation, and the "medical record" of the beauty (also from PS) was sent to Zhao, who immediately remitted the hospitalization expenses and nutrition expenses.

　　Because he was worried about the condition of "Beauty", Zhao contacted the hospital according to the contact information on the "medical record", only to find that the beauty, the train conductor and the doctor were all liars, and he was cheated of 22,800 yuan before and after.

　　From March to May 2016, the task force organized three arrests and arrested 81 people involved in the case in Dongguan, Huizhou and Guangzhou. After review, the gang confessed to more than 200 online fraud cases, with victims spread all over the country, and initially grasped that the amount involved exceeded 1 million yuan.

　　The leader of the "MLM" dating fraud gang calls himself the chairman internally.

　　Liang Ruiguo, deputy director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department, said that the gang’s criminal methods are different from the previous methods of peer-to-peer dating fraud: the gang operates in a company mode and is managed by pyramid schemes. The gang leader calls himself "chairman" and "general manager" internally; The core members are called "executives" and "managers", who are mainly responsible for management, training and gang division; The backbone members are called "store managers", who are mainly responsible for the development of offline, general management and training; Ordinary members form a group of 5-6 people and gather in a "family" way. Each "family" has a "parent" to lead "family members" to carry out first-line fraud activities.

　　Chatting up, chatting, male liar, voice video for female partner.

　　At the time of fraud, the gang successively registered multiple QQ and WeChat numbers, downloaded pictures of women with good faces from the Internet as avatars, filled in false female information, and took the initiative to chat with male netizens through Internet search, nearby people, shaking, etc. Once a man was added as a friend, he used sweet words to chat with the other party according to the "routine" and pretended to become a couple or a close friend. After gradually defrauding the victim’s trust, he defrauded the victim’s money through WeChat red envelopes and bank transfers on the grounds that he or his parents were ill in hospital, family difficulties, and the other party had to pay the fare to meet the victim. In order to fully gain the trust and sympathy of the victims, the suspects also forged false medical records and train tickets, and the accomplices pretended to be medical staff chatting with the victims, which caused the illusion of being seriously ill and was extremely confusing.

　　It is reported that the members of the gang are generally half men and half women, and they are all male members when chatting, but when language and video chat are needed, female members are asked to come and appear. Members of the gang confessed that under normal circumstances, they would refuse to meet for various reasons. If they had to meet, they would let their female associates meet, claiming to be doing business and investing in projects.

　　Liars are mostly "post-90 s" migrant workers and white-collar workers who are easily deceived.

　　It is understood that the front-line members of the gang are mainly "post-90 s" young people such as minors and newly graduated college students. Because most of them are not deeply involved in the world, they believe in the training of "lecturers" and are gradually brainwashed into thinking that they are doing a legitimate "career". "They thought they were doing online business and internet plus, and they were very enthusiastic and swindled after being brainwashed." Liang Ruiguo said.

　　Most of the deceived victims are migrant workers, bachelors who may have difficulty finding a partner, and white-collar workers in the company. Older people are over 40 years old, and younger ones are only around 17 or 18 years old. They are all single men of all ages. "Some victims are still in the dark."

　　"Cheats" of Making Friends Fraud Speech

　　In the "training" course of fraud seized by the police, the "cheats" of speech skills recorded in detail the whole process of how to chat, contact feelings and borrow money under various excuses.

　　First, register a micro-signal, the name should be elegant and generous, female, about 20 years old, with a picture of a beautiful woman, add a strange man as a friend by shaking it, looking for a nearby person or a drift bottle, and then operate step by step.

　　one

　　First, a cordial opening

　　Hello, my name is XXX. May I have your name?

　　Nice to meet you!

　　Mr. XXX, I saw the drift bottle you threw, and it’s fate that I can meet you like this.

　　I work in XXX, where do you work now?

　　Are you busy with your work at ordinary times? I work alone here, which is more leisure and a little boring … …

　　I’m a down-to-earth person. May I have your name? It’s awkward to always call you Mr. XX. What do your friends usually call you? And don’t call me miss XXX, just call me Xiaomei. If you and I meet by chance, we won’t say that we feel strange.

　　2

　　Second, contact feelings

　　Hello, X, have you eaten yet?

　　Are you tired from work today? How many hours do you usually work?

　　So what do you like to do in your spare time, or do you have any other hobbies?

　　Are your parents in good health? By the way, how many brothers and sisters do you have? Everything is about showing concern for each other.

　　Oh, you want to have a voice chat (if the other party wants to confirm the female identity, ask the same group of women for help to say a few words). My voice is not very bad. I like typing, but I don’t like voice chat very much. Let’s talk like this in the future.

　　Xxx, it feels good to talk to you for a while, and you are more considerate. If we are together like you said, what will you do to me? I want you to be good to me, listen to me, don’t scold me, and you can tell me some happy or unhappy things in your work and life, okay?

　　three

　　Third, start with cheating small money.

　　X, thank you for accompanying me these days. I’m really happy in my heart. Suddenly, I feel like I have more concerns. From what I know about you these days, I think you are a nice man. Why don’t you be my boyfriend? (determine the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend)

　　Honey, did you miss me? I’m the only one at home recently, which is annoying! Why don’t you come and see me and we’ll meet?

　　You don’t have time to come to my place. You can ask me to come to your place, but you have to help me buy a ticket!

　　Or you don’t believe that I don’t even have a fare, so will you come and pick me up?

　　Then you remit me 1000 yuan first, and I’ll buy a train ticket first.

　　Dear, I have bought my ticket (send a PS train ticket). The 10 o’clock train tonight will arrive at 1 pm tomorrow. Remember to pick me up!

　　four

　　Fourth, go to the hospital to cheat a lot of money

　　Xx, I’m here. I’m so excited. I’m going to see you soon. Do you miss me?

　　Dear, can you help me? My stomach suddenly hurts, and the flight attendant also said that my face is pale and ugly. I am afraid that I will be sent to the hospital for examination. What should I do? (or parents and other family members are sick)

　　Honey, I’m in the hospital now. The doctor said that I had an acute appendicitis attack, and all the laboratory tests came out. What should I do?

　　Dear, the doctor said that the condition is serious, and the operation must be performed immediately. The operation cost is more than 8,000 yuan. I came out in a hurry and didn’t bring much money. Can you remit it to me first? (If the other party doesn’t believe me, ask the same group to pretend to be a doctor and say a few words.)

　　Have you remitted the money? Do you want from ruin? I really regret coming to see you! (If the other party doesn’t remit money, say something rude)

　　Honey, thank you. I have finished my surgery. This meeting is really not smooth. I’d better go back first. You can pay me some nutrition fees again.

　　Ii. the industry in which the company is located during the reporting period.

　　1. Salt industry

　　According to the classification of uses, salt products can be divided into salt and industrial salt. Salt is a necessity for residents’ daily life, with relatively stable production and sales volume and weak demand periodicity. On the whole, the existing domestic salt production capacity is greater than the consumption demand, and there is a certain degree of oversupply. At the same time, due to the promotion of salt reduction movement and the overall stability of population size, the total domestic salt consumption is stable at around 10 million tons, and there is a slow downward trend. Since the salt reform abolished the regional restrictions and price restrictions on salt production and marketing, all provincial salt wholesale enterprises have carried out cross-regional business, and the differentiated competition in the industry has become increasingly fierce. From the point of view of product price, with the intensification of competition among major salt enterprises, the wholesale price of salt has declined, but the price of salt at Shangchao terminal has remained basically stable, and profits have gradually shifted from wholesale enterprises to retail enterprises. Therefore, enterprises with integrated production and marketing and strong channel control ability have stronger ability to cope with challenges. As a bulk raw material, the production and sales of industrial salt mainly depend on the downstream operation of the two alkali industries, with high price sensitivity and obvious periodicity. At the same time, as a basic raw material for industry, industrial salt has a high degree of homogeneity. With the improvement of energy conservation and environmental protection requirements, the technology, process and equipment are constantly upgraded, forming a salt enterprise with scale effect and cost advantage, and its competitive advantage is becoming more and more obvious.

　　2. Soda industry

　　Soda soda is a basic chemical raw material, which is widely used in glass, chemical industry, light industry, paper making, textile and other industries, with strong periodicity. From the supply side, there is little difference between the quality and performance of soda ash products, and the competitiveness is mainly reflected in the production cost. In 2023, the production capacity of soda ash industry will be greatly improved, and the proportion of natural soda will gradually increase, and the market competition will be intensified. With the strengthening of environmental protection, energy conservation and emission reduction, some inefficient production capacity will gradually withdraw from the market in the future, and enterprises with resource advantages, cost advantages, technological advantages, capital advantages, management advantages and circular economy model of the whole industry chain will be in a favorable position in the future competition. From the demand side, the glass industry is the most important downstream industry of soda ash. Under the background of peak carbon dioxide emissions, carbon neutrality and national strategy, the rapid growth of newly added photovoltaic installed capacity drives the growth of photovoltaic glass demand, which further drives the demand for soda ash. In addition, with the development of new energy automobile industry and the increase of green energy supply such as wind, light and water, the demand for energy storage batteries will gradually increase. As an essential material for lithium carbonate production, soda ash is expected to contribute to the new demand.

　　Iii. Business of the Company during the reporting period

　　(1) Main business

　　Underground mining of rock salt; Research and development, production, processing and sales of salt products such as salt, industrial salt and sodium sulfate and salt chemical products such as soda ash and baking soda.

　　(2) Business model

　　The company has gradually built a perfect integrated business model of production and sales. The company has abundant upstream salt mine resources, and promotes the group operation mode of centralized procurement, production and sales of bulk materials.

　　Production: according to the mode of "unified planning and fixed production by sales", the annual production plan is made according to the stable customer demand, the expected incremental orders in the market and the inventory reserve plan.

　　Sales: Salt and salt chemical products are sold to domestic and foreign markets. The company’s salt (edible small package salt, salt for food processing) business adopts existing channels, self-built branches and self-built sales outlets for direct sales and wholesale. Edible salt is a necessity for residents’ daily life, and the production and sales volume are relatively stable, basically without periodicity. Industrial salt and salt chemical products are mainly sold to customer terminals through direct selling and trader mode, with the help of traders with qualified business qualifications, and the sales are all buyout. Downstream manufacturers and customers mainly include fine chemicals, glass, new energy and other industries, and the customer base is relatively stable.

　　R&D: Independent internal R&D is carried out through its own provincial innovation platform, namely, Jiangxi Underground Recycling Engineering Research Center of Rock Salt Resources and Jiangxi Jinghao Salt Chemical Co., Ltd. Technology Center. At the same time, it maintains long-term and stable R&D cooperation with research institutes inside and outside the province, such as East China University of Science and Technology, Wuhan Institute of Geotechnical Mechanics of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Jiangxi University of Science and Technology, etc., and jointly builds R&D platforms to carry out R&D work.

　　Iv. analysis of core competitiveness during the reporting period

　　(A) the advantages of well mineral salt resources

　　Jiangxi province is a province with large salt resources in China, in which the production capacity of well and mineral salt ranks in the forefront of the country, and well and mineral salt has more advantages in production continuity and supply stability. The rock salt resources in Jiangxi Province are located in Qingjiang Basin (now Zhangshu City and Xingan County). The "Qingjiang Yantian" covers an area of 133.06 square kilometers and has a total reserve of more than 11 billion tons. Salt raw materials are collected from underground deep well rocks below 1,000 meters. The average grade of sodium chloride in a single seam of Qingjiang rock salt deposit is as high as 96.23%, and the average grade of sodium chloride in most seams is between 50% and 80%, so the mining conditions are superior. All the quality indexes are higher than the national standards, and it is high-quality mineral salt. Jinghao Salt Chemical Company and Fuda Salt Chemical Company are adjacent to Qingjiang rock salt deposit. The mining rights of the three mining areas have a total of 640 million tons of their own rock salt resources, which are of excellent quality and provide a solid resource guarantee for the company’s long-term sustainable development.

　　(B) Green circular economy and comprehensive cost advantages

　　The company takes the domestic leading and international advanced underground circulating alkali-making process as the main chain, and connects the whole salt-making and salt chemical industry chain in series with the comprehensive utilization of light calcium liquid alkali slag and salt-making condensed water as the key point. Based on the absorption and introduction of underground circulation technology, new technologies such as two-phase flow circulation well injection were independently developed, and the underground circulation mode was put forward, which solved the problems of temperature reduction, transportation and well injection in the two-phase transportation of soda ash calcium liquid alkali slag. After the waste slag was injected into the well, it was used as the filler of the mined-out rock salt solution cavity, which not only strengthened the safety of the mined-out solution cavity, but also solved the treatment costs such as dam building and filter pressing, and solved the pressure of environmental protection on the ground, and effectively solved the treatment cost of soda ash liquid calcium alkali slag by ammonia-alkali method. At the same time, based on the exploitation of underground mineral salt, the company exploited low-nitrate brine (used to prepare soda ash and baking soda), nitrate brine (used to prepare salt products and mirabilite) and calcium brine (used to prepare salt products and calcium chloride products) through the combination of dilute calcium solution and underground mineral resources with different components, and completed the purification, deployment and transportation of brine through the brine deployment center. Domestic advanced technology with independent intellectual property rights is adopted to complete purification, allocation and transportation, and graded reuse of condensed water, so as to realize resource recycling in the whole process, zero discharge of production wastewater and waste liquid, low product energy consumption and high resource utilization rate. A new model of green circular economy for comprehensive utilization of resources is constructed, and a comprehensive cost competitive advantage is formed. Besides,The company has three 700t/h high-temperature and high-pressure circulating fluidized bed coal-fired boilers and two 55MW back-pressure steam turbine-generator sets in its own thermal power station, which ensures the production of steam in the company’s existing devices, realizes most self-sufficiency in electricity, and has comprehensive benefits such as energy saving and environmental protection.

　　(4) Possible risks

　　1, the macro environment and the risk of product price fluctuations.

　　The company’s main products, such as industrial salt and soda ash, belong to bulk raw materials, and the company’s operating performance is greatly related to the macroeconomic prosperity and the development of downstream industries. Commodity prices are influenced by economic environment, supply and demand and other factors. If the future macroeconomic uncertainties lead to downward pressure on the economy, it will inhibit the sustained growth of the company’s performance. The company will strengthen the prediction of economic operation and market, optimize production technology and flow while improving the efficiency of product development and utilization, improve production efficiency, and strive to reduce production and manufacturing costs. At the same time, it will actively expand the market, increase market share, increase production and sales, and reduce business risks brought about by price fluctuations.

　　2. Market operation risk

　　With the progress of salt reform, the independent operation of salt enterprises across provinces has intensified the competition in the salt market. If the competition in the salt market continues to increase in the future and the price fluctuation of salt increases, it may have an impact on the company’s performance. The company has the strength to actively go out and seize the market across regions. The company will pay close attention to the industry development and market changes, and make timely response strategies to open up a broader space for the company’s development.

　　3. Safety and environmental risks

　　As a chemical production enterprise, the company has certain safety and environmental protection risks. However, the company attaches great importance to safety production, has established a perfect safety production management system in accordance with relevant national laws and regulations, and has continuously accumulated rich experience in preventing safety production accidents. At the same time, under the background of the national development strategy of "peak carbon dioxide emissions, carbon neutrality", various pollution control and emission reduction measures have been implemented, new technologies and new processes have been adopted to carry out energy-saving and carbon-reducing technological transformation, and a set of environmental protection related systems have been established and effectively implemented, so as to continuously build green factories. The company’s existing production devices and investment projects with raised funds meet the requirements of national industrial policies on industrial layout, device scale and technology, energy consumption and environmental protection.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Washington, April 8 (Reporter Xu Jianmei, Deng Xianlai) On the 8th, US President Biden announced a series of administrative measures to strengthen gun control and reduce gun violence.

　　Biden made a speech in the White House Rose Garden that day, saying that gun violence in the United States is taking lives every day and leaving lasting scars on the community. "Gun violence is an epidemic in the United States and embarrasses the United States internationally."

　　These administrative measures include: the Ministry of Justice issued a proposed regulation to stop the proliferation of "ghost guns" within 30 days; Issue separate regulations on strengthening the control of pistol "stable bracket" within 60 days; Publish the "Red Flag" icon warning sample regulations that are convenient for States to refer to within 60 days; The Ministry of Justice will release the first report on gun smuggling in the United States in 21 years; Federal agencies will increase funding for community projects to reduce gun violence in cities by non-custodial means.

　　"Ghost gun" is a gun that is self-processed and assembled by purchasing parts, and there is no traceable commercial serial number; The "stable bracket" can turn the pistol into a more lethal and accurate rifle, and it is not subject to the legal constraints of supervising rifles; The "Red Flag" law allows local courts to prevent people who are suicidal or may pose a danger to others from obtaining guns for a period of time at the request of relatives and friends of the parties concerned or local law enforcement departments.

　　Biden said that he hopes to treat the parts of the "ghost gun" as guns in accordance with the gun management law, and that merchants will be equipped with serial numbers when selling parts and conduct background checks on buyers. He said that in some states that have enacted "Red Flag" laws, the number of people who commit suicide with guns has decreased.

　　Biden also nominated David chipman as the director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives of the United States. chipman, who advocated gun control, has worked in the Bureau for 25 years.

　　According to American media reports, in 2020, nearly 20,000 people in the United States died of gun violence, and another 24,000 people committed suicide with guns. Gunmen have become worse this year, and major shootings have occurred in Georgia, Colorado and California recently.

　　On March 11th, the House of Representatives controlled by the Democratic Party of the United States passed two bills to strengthen the background investigation of gun purchase, but they were blocked in the Senate. Analysts believe that due to the long-term sharp opposition between American society and the democratic and Republican parties on the issue of gun control, it is uncertain whether the new gun control measures introduced by the Biden administration can be effectively implemented.
