      Chinese carmaker FAW propels intelligent transformation of traditional manufacturing industries

      The scientific and technological innovation base and the factory operated by China's leading automaker FAW Group in Changchun, capital of northeast China's Jilin Province, are driving the intelligent transformation of traditional manufacturing industries through the utilization of green and low-carbon facilities and automatic assembly technology.

      An autonomous minibus at the sci-tech innovation base features only two rows of seats and a screen, without a steering wheel, a gas pedal and a brake. The camera and laser radar installed on the minibus assist in environmental perception, enabling it to navigate within the base and autonomously yield to pedestrians.

      Moreover, a nearly 100-meter-long pathway with electromagnetic induction coils is installed at the base. As the minibus travels on it, wireless charging is initiated, thus ensuring the uninterrupted operation of the minibus.

      The intelligent connected laboratory at the base is utilized to evaluate the overall performance of intelligent driving systems. Spanning an area of 15,000 square meters, the facility is outfitted with over 6,000 spraying devices and hundreds of LED light sets, facilitating smooth transitions of different experimental environments.

      In the laboratory, a vehicle equipped with an intelligent driving system has undergone evaluation. In low-light and heavy rain conditions, the vehicle activated adaptive cruise control to trail the vehicle ahead. When the vehicle ahead changed lanes, the intelligent driving system identified risks more quickly than the driver and timely initiated emergency braking.

      In another test scenario, the system promptly responded to the sudden appearance of a pedestrian, averting potential hazards stemming from the driver's blind spot.

      In this laboratory, different vehicle models undergo repeated experiments, adjustments, and documentation in various environments so as to continuously enhance the intelligent driving system.

      Five kilometers away from the base lies the FAW-Hongqi Prosperity Factory. The roofs of its workshop are covered with photovoltaic panels that can generate 14 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity per year, amounting to eight percent of the factory's total annual power usage.

      The interior of the factory also showcases a high degree of intelligence. Over the past decade, FAW-Hongqi has launched over 20 vehicle models, including fuel, electric, and hybrid vehicles.

      The final assembly workshop boasts 11 automated production lines capable of seamlessly transitioning between different vehicle models. Every minute, a Hongqi vehicle completes its production journey and rolls off the assembly lines.

      China and the United States should follow the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Tuesday.

      Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks during a conversation with American business and think tank leaders on the sidelines of a United Nations (UN) Security Council high-level meeting in New York.

      Wang was joined by Xie Feng, China’s ambassador to the U.S., for the meeting with representatives from the U.S.-China Business Council, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, the Asia Society and the Council on Foreign Relations.

      As permanent members of the UN Security Council and the world's two largest economies, China and the U.S. should follow the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation, find the right way to get along well with each other, and discuss and explore ways to do more significant and practical things that are beneficial to both countries and the world, Wang said.

      Wang also said that China and the U.S. have vast common interests and there is broad space for cooperation.

      The two sides should earnestly respect each other's core interests, strengthen communication, build trust, fend off distraction and overcome obstacles, so that China-U.S. relations can be improved and stabilized, said Wang.

      China appreciates the efforts of American business and strategic representatives to promote China-U.S. relations and mutual understanding, and hopes they will continue contributing to the healthy and stable development of bilateral relations, Wang said.

      Speaking about the Chinese economy and measures for further deepening reforms, Wang welcomed American enterprises to seize new opportunities created by Chinese modernization for mutual benefits.

      During the conversation, the American representatives made suggestions on enhancing bilateral cooperation and achieving early results, noting that stable China-U.S. relations are good for both countries and the world. Some of the representatives said that they are watching the development of China-U.S. relations closely and said they welcomed China's high-quality development and supported continued U.S. investment in China.
