      Decoding secrets behind rise of China's auto giant FAW

      Chinese automaker FAW, located in China's automobile hub of Changchun, is making rapid strides in smart manufacturing by adopting a series of groundbreaking technological innovations.

      At the carmaker's technology innovation space, engineers are conducting noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) testing of Hongqi cars, the iconic FAW brand, to optimize vehicle performance and uphold a standard of passenger comfort.

      "We are conducting a test of the vehicle's vibration and noise under simulated road conditions. Through hundreds of test indicators, we can assess the driver's experience of vibration and noise during the driving process. For example, in the car we tested, when driving at a high speed of 120 kilometers per hour, the overall noise from the tires, wind, and other sounds was only about 60 decibels, which is equivalent to the volume of normal human conversation," said Pan Dianlong, Director of NVH Simulation and Verification at the FAW Research and Development Institute.

      Behind the impressive NVH performances of the Hongqi vehicles is advanced intelligent technology. At the FAW Hongqi manufacturing plant, intelligent network coverage has reached 90 percent. In the workshop for another major FAW brand - Jiefang, the official launch of the 9 millionth self-developed Jiefang heavy truck took place on July, 2024. With a series of groundbreaking technological innovations, 140 heavy trucks can now roll off the production line in that workshop each day.

      Wang Yiqiang, director of FAW’s Jiefang J7 Intelligent Factory Workshop, says the latest generation of FAW Jiefang heavy-duty trucks, the J7 series, is considered a milestone in China's heavy-duty truck industry.

      "In the early days, our Jiefang trucks were primarily used for cargo transportation. Now, our latest generation of trucks serves as both a living and social space for drivers, where they can rest, play, and even communicate with other drivers online," explained Wang.

      Since the first Jiefang truck was developed in 1956, the brand has continuously pursued constant innovation.

      "The tire assembly process is fully automated, with robots and automatic guided vehicles working together. Our digital monitoring system can integrate factory data across all dimensions, visualize the three-dimensional information, track indicator trends in real time, and monitor the production schedule to ensure traceability throughout the entire life cycle of our vehicles," said Wang.

      Israel has vowed to continue with its airstrikes on Gaza, after a fresh wave of bombardment led to the collapse of a two-month ceasefire early Tuesday, with its officials saying that the attacks will not stop until it secures the release of all remaining hostages from Hamas captivity.

      On Tuesday, the Israeli army conducted intense airstrikes on northern and central Gaza Strip, marking the most violent escalation since a ceasefire agreement took effect on Jan. 19.

      According to Israeli media reports, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a statement following Tuesday's airstrikes that if Hamas does not release all hostages, "the gates of hell will open in Gaza," and Hamas will encounter the Israeli military "with an intensity they have never known before."

      Meanwhile, Danny Danon, Israel's permanent representative to the United Nations (UN), also said in a post on his social media account that Israel will show "no mercy" until all hostages are returned.

      Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office announced early Tuesday that Netanyahu and Katz had ordered the military to "operate against Hamas with increasingly powerful military force."

      According to the statement, the move followed what it described as Hamas's "repeated refusal to release hostages" and rejection of proposals presented by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and other mediators.

      In a press statement issued on Tuesday, Hamas accused Netanyahu and Israeli government of "resuming aggression and a war of genocide" against civilians in the Gaza Strip, holding Israel fully responsible for the repercussions of the renewed escalation.

      Hamas accused Netanyahu's government of deliberately overturning the ceasefire agreement, thereby exposing prisoners in Gaza to an uncertain fate.

      Hamas further appealed to the United Nations and the UN Security Council to "convene urgently to adopt a resolution obligating Israel to immediately halt its aggression and implement Resolution 2735, which calls for an end to hostilities and a full withdrawal from the Gaza Strip."
