Praise the speed of China! Fully test BYD Tang flagship edition
BYD Han EV sales broke through 100,000 blade batteries, highlighting its advantages.
recent days,BYD released the latest sales data.,The cumulative sales volume of the first anniversary of the highly acclaimed Han listing has exceeded.10Ten thousand vehicles, reach101309Car,Sit tightHigh-end new energy vehiclesTop1And China brand medium and large car market.Top1. At the same time, BYD’s market value has also soared, breaking through.three00Yuandaguan.
It’s not just BYD Han who has been recognized by the market. Since its launch, the blade battery has also been recognized by the market.Leading the new energy car market with stronger technical strength.Blade battery as HanEVWhat kind of technical advantages does one of the core components have in charging?
Blade battery models achieve maximum output power.
When charging an electric vehicle, we often pay attention to the charging power of the vehicle, because the charging power directly determines the charging efficiency, but the charging power here is not the highest charging power, but the average charging power.
At present, many overcharge technologies claim that the charging power can reach.250kW, even higher. However, in actual use, it will be found that, firstly, it is necessary to rely on special super charging piles to achieve overcharge, and it is difficult to achieve charging close to the peak output power of charging piles by using other charging piles, and the charging power is greatly reduced; Secondly, even if there is an overcharged pile, the time to really reach the peak power is only a few minutes, and then the power will drop very quickly, and the actual charging speed is not ideal.
Byd Han equipped with blade batteryEVVehicle type, as long as the charging pile supports, the vehicle can realize fast charging. The charging power will maintain a relatively stable state, and at the same time, it can basically reach the maximum output power of the charging pile, and the time for maintaining high-power charging can basically be charged.90%ElectricityQuantity.
Comparison of thermal stability of materials
As the power battery of Ferrous lithium phosphate system, BYD blade battery has high temperature resistance.500℃.At the same time, BYD has always adopted a high-voltage charging scheme to reduce heat generation and loss, improve charging efficiency and protect batteries. Under BYD’s advanced battery thermal management system, the blade battery can maintain high-power charging for a long time, and finally realize the Han.EVfillelectricity10Minutes, maximumrunone35km.
Blade battery is HanEVSales continue to help.
Explosion diagram of battery pack
Blade battery has a long blade-like appearance, and the battery pack adopts a non-modular design, and the batteries directly form the battery pack, so that they can be evenly arranged in the battery pack, and the heat dissipation of the batteries is from liquid cooling.Utypepipe/tubeTo liquid coolingPanel, more uniform heat dissipation, effectmoregoodCompared with the traditional battery, its heat dissipation area is larger, reducing heat accumulation. For the battery thermal management system, the battery core temperature in the battery pack is more consistent, and the thermal management system has higher heat exchange capacity, which can always keep the battery core in the best working temperature range. Therefore, it is ensured that the heat generated by the blade battery can be released in time in the process of long-term high-power charging, and the influence of excessive battery temperature on the safety performance and service life of the battery can be avoided.
BYD blade battery redefines the safety standard of power battery for new energy vehicles, and also has super strength, super endurance, super life and super power. Blade battery is redefining the new energy market, which is the cornerstone of BYD Han EV sales.
A few days ago, BYD Auto introduced the standard endurance version of the luxury Han EV equipped with blade batteries. The NEDC has a cruising range of 506km under comprehensive working conditions, and the subsidized price is 209,800 yuan, which will be delivered from September. China’s high-end new energy car, represented by BYD, has never been afraid of foreign competition and is accelerating its entry into mainstream families.

Musk’s greatest achievement is brain-computer interface, which is far ahead in building the highest medical technology. Brain-computer interface can not only help more people stand up, but also live l
On October 27th, according to Tianjin Daily, recently, a new generation of domestic chip dedicated to brain-computer interface acquisition was successfully developed in Tianjin.
Affected by this news, in the early morning of October 27th, many brain-computer concept stocks such as innovative medical care, Xinzhi cognition, Guanhao biology, Sanbo Brain Department, international medicine and Nanjing Panda changed.
At the close, Guanhao Bio increased by 7.89%, innovative medical care increased by 5.68%, Nanjing Panda increased by 4.54%, and Sanbo Brain Department increased by 3.58%, ranking among the top gainers.
New progress of brain-computer interface
Brain-computer interface (BCI or Brain-Machine Interface,BMI) refers to the direct connection between human or animal brain and external equipment, which realizes the information exchange between brain and equipment, and is known as the "information superhighway" for human brain to communicate with the outside world.
With the continuous progress of brain science, brain-like science and artificial intelligence technology, people’s interest in brain-computer interface is increasing day by day. Various research institutions and companies have invested in this research.
According to the analysis data of Rui Beast, from 2014 to August 20th, 2023, there were 170 financing incidents in the brain-computer interface industry in China, involving 60 companies, and 78 incidents in which the financing amount was disclosed, with a total financing amount of 5.845 billion RMB, involving 149 investment institutions. From the breakdown of the track, the biomedical field is the most active, followed by brain-computer interface equipment. In addition, EEG acquisition platforms and electrodes/probes have also concentrated many high-quality enterprises to attract capital investment.
Since the second half of this year, good news in the field of brain-computer interface in China has continued, and a number of policies have supported industrial research and development. In August, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other four departments issued the "Implementation Plan for Standardization Pilot Project of New Industries (2023-2035)", in which the future industries will focus on nine major areas, such as meta-universe and brain-computer interface. On September 13th, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology organized the unveiling of the future industrial innovation tasks in 2023, aiming at four key directions: metauniverse, humanoid robot, brain-computer interface and general artificial intelligence.
According to reports, the chip successfully developed in Tianjin is jointly developed by Haihe Laboratory of Brain-Computer Interaction and Human-Computer Integration and China Electronic Information Industry Group. It has completely independent intellectual property rights and can be used for non-invasive brain-computer interface and multi-modal neuroelectrophysiological equipment. It can be widely used in smart medical care, aerospace, human-computer interaction, games and entertainment, etc., and will transform the achievements of enterprises in Tiankai Park.
Among them, Yishi Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., an enterprise hatched by Haihe Laboratory of Brain Machine aiming at the innovation achievements, is negotiating and docking with a number of 3A hospitals, scientific research institutes and medical device enterprises. After the trial production of the chip sample is successful, it will be formally applied to self-developed EEG acquisition modules and wearable portable devices, and put into various civil and special brain-computer interface application scenarios to accelerate the transformation and promotion of follow-up products.
Brain-computer interface is an interdisciplinary subject in the fields of materials science, neuroscience, brain science and information science. Relevant research reports show that brain-computer interface technology is widely used in the market. Among them, medical health is the largest market application field of brain-computer interface at present, and it is also the fastest growing field, mainly focusing on four functions: monitoring, improvement/recovery, substitution and enhancement.
Brain-computer interface technology can directly realize the interaction between the brain and external devices, cross the conventional brain information output path, and is widely used in medical and health fields. At the same time, with the continuous exploration of the structure and function of the brain by modern medicine, human beings have made in-depth research on the functional areas of the brain, such as movement, vision, hearing and language, so obtaining and analyzing the information of these brain areas through brain-computer interface equipment has a wide range of applications in the fields of physical examination and diagnosis, screening and monitoring, treatment and rehabilitation of neurological and mental system diseases.
In the future, after removing obstacles such as ethics and technical maturity, it will gradually penetrate into entertainment, smart home, military and other fields and become one of the important forms of human-computer interaction.
Innovative medical care is suspected of speculation.
According to public information, in the A-share market, many listed companies, including Innovative Medical Care, Sanbo Brain Department, Nanjing Panda, Jiahe Intelligent, century huatong, Tomcat and so on, have started brain-computer interface business.
In the early morning of October 27, there was a change in the brain-computer interface plate. Among them, Innovative Medical jumped 8% to the daily limit in 5 minutes, and the closing price was 8.37 yuan/share, an increase of 5.68%.
This is not the first time that innovative medical care has experienced a daily limit due to the concept of brain-computer interface. In June this year, innovative medical care gained 5 consecutive boards. According to the announcement of abnormal fluctuation of stock trading released on June 13th, on June 8th, 9th and 12th, the deviation value of closing price decline of innovative medical stocks for three consecutive trading days totaled more than 20%.
According to the announcement, the company’s production and operation situation and internal and external operating environment have not changed significantly recently, so investors are advised to pay attention to the trading risks in the secondary market.
According to the data, innovative medical treatment was mainly engaged in the cultivation, processing and sales of freshwater pearls. In February 2016, the company successfully completed a major asset restructuring. In 2016, the company’s main business expanded to the medical service industry and transformed into a big health industry, from a single aquaculture processing enterprise to a dual-main listed company with pearl jewelry processing and production, wholesale and retail and medical services. The company achieved diversified development.
This also makes many investors suspect that the brain-computer interface may be another false concept of harvesting leeks. "This company’s business has nothing to do with the brain-computer interface at all. It has been losing money since 2019 and has never made any money. It’s just that a company called Boling Brain Machine was set up by participating in the stock market, and it caught the east wind of brain-computer interface. In fact, this company was only established in 2021, and everything is in ruins. The so-called brain-computer business has not been lost. "
Innovative Medical previously stated on the interactive question-and-answer platform of investors that the company’s shareholding in Boling Brain Computer (Hangzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. was 40%. According to public information, Boling Brain Machine (Hangzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. focuses on the development of brain-computer interface and the core technology of pan-brain application medical instruments, focusing on the social problems of treatment and rehabilitation of stroke with high morbidity and disability in international clinics, and developing new brain-computer interface technologies to improve the rehabilitation effect of patients and enable patients to maximize their functional improvement and self-care ability.
After the close of trading on October 27th, Innovative Medical released the results announcement for the third quarter of 2023, with revenue of 607 million yuan in the first three quarters, up by 12.32% year-on-year; The net profit loss attributable to shareholders of listed companies was 14.21 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 10.52%. Among them, the net profit loss attributable to the owners of the parent company in the third quarter was 10.761 million yuan, compared with 35.2151 million yuan in the same period of last year, which turned from profit to loss; Operating income 2.02100 million yuan, down 1.53%.
Four couples of police doctors on the front line of epidemic prevention： postponed wedding, son alone at home and reunion dinner that can’t be made up.
In the Spring Festival of 2020, an epidemic prevention and control war broke out nationwide. In the face of the pneumonia epidemic in novel coronavirus, the police and medical staff stood in the front line of epidemic prevention. Many "police doctors and couples" gave up their families for everyone. Some of them were born after 70, 80 and 90, and they silently built an important epidemic prevention line with their persistence and dedication. What we are going to tell below is the story of four police and medical couples who are sticking to the front line of fighting the epidemic this Spring Festival …
The wedding dress that was too late to try was postponed after 90 years.
Write Xiao Wei couple chat record.
Xiao Wei, a policeman from Jinhua Police Station of Mianzhu Public Security Bureau, and Xiaoxiao, a nurse from People’s Hospital, both born in 1990s, originally planned to hold a banquet in the near future, but the wedding was postponed due to the sudden epidemic. In Jinhua Town, which is dozens of kilometers away from the city, there are only three police officers in the police station. As the youngest policeman, Xiao Wei took the initiative to provoke the responsibility of daily patrol and quarantine. The small separation made them unable to meet each other for several weeks, and they could only express their thoughts on each other through WeChat.
"I want to see you. I don’t want to be alone at home."
"Why did you come to me? I don’t have a car. I didn’t eat anything here. I ate instant noodles."
"You should pay attention to safety when checking, put on the mask and tighten the strip above your nose!"
"There are a lot of things today. You should cover yourself in the evening, eat more, and don’t put your son hungry!
Nurse Xiao Xiao introduced that she had planned to let her husband accompany her to try on the wedding dress after the New Year, but now the epidemic is current, she is busy, and her husband is busy, and the wedding will be held after defeating the epidemic. Because I learned that I was pregnant with a baby, I was afraid that the dress style I had been optimistic about had to be changed. No girl wanted to be the most beautiful at the wedding, but in the face of this epidemic prevention and blocking war, only understanding and strength were the greatest encouragement for herself and the greatest support for her husband.
Incorrect reunion dinner, stick to your post and have direct contact with patients.
↑ Yang Yang is taking blood tests for patients.
Yang Yang, a post-80s police sister-in-law, is a tester in the respiratory department of Mianzhu Hospital. She and her colleagues completed the blood drawing work for all patients. She had direct contact with the first pneumonia patient infected by novel coronavirus in Mianzhu. During the epidemic prevention, she can’t go home or dare to go home. She said that although she has done a good job in protection, she will still worry unconsciously, not because she is afraid of being infected, or because she doesn’t want to get involved with her family.
Her husband, Li Hong, is a police officer investigating a case in Chengnan Police Station. In an extraordinary period, he has to do his job correctly in epidemic prevention, and he takes turns to visit the homes of isolated people in his jurisdiction every day. Find and help injured elderly people living alone to seek medical treatment; Go to the mahjong room where people gather to persuade them to disperse; Handle public security cases of rumors and rumors and criminal cases of telecom fraud. During the Spring Festival, many people are tired of staying at home, but for Li Hong, they can’t go home.
"When the epidemic is over, let’s have a good reunion dinner!" On the phone with Li Hong, Yang Yang’s voice choked. "You went to other provinces to catch fugitives during the Spring Festival when our eldest son was born. Our youngest son was just born this Spring Festival, and both of us were too busy to go home. Since New Year’s Eve, we haven’t had a bite of the reunion dinner. When we are finished, we will pick up our parents and have a good reunion!"
"Drink water quickly" has become the sweetest love story of the couple.
↑ Zhang Chun went to the duty station to ensure the supply of materials.
"Wife, have a drink!" "Husband, you also drink quickly!" After 80s, Zhang Chunhe Shen Li, a police doctor and wife, handed each other a bottle full of mineral water, and they both smiled at each other and gulped it down.
Zhang Chun is doing police security work in Mianzhu Public Security Bureau, not only considering the epidemic prevention and protection of front-line police officers in society, but also taking into account the daily epidemic prevention and quarantine in the unit. "The first-line masks are missing again, so we need to buy them quickly … three meals for the 24-hour police should be guaranteed. Disinfectant should be sprayed every day. Goggles, yes, give the first line goggles! " Zhang Chun carefully handled all the materials procurement, transportation and guarantee. However, he was surrounded by pieces of mineral water, and he was completely unconscious to take a sip.
Shen Li is "armed to the teeth" in the fever clinic of the hospital, taking the temperature of patients in long queues and cooperating with the screening test of pneumonia infected by novel coronavirus. This "equipment" has to be worn for a long time every day, and it is difficult to take it off. In order not to delay the patient’s medical treatment, she wears it for one day. When she came home at night, she had a break to drink water.
A day without drinking water, drinking a can of water, "drink water quickly" has become the sweetest love story of the couple.
"Pay attention to safety" is the only thing he can tell his grown-up son.
Shu Shizheng visited the returnees.
"Child: In the face of the epidemic, the two busiest people are your father and me. Don’t blame us!" In the WeChat circle of friends of police sister-in-law Tsui Hua Chen, she said to her son with guilt.
As a medical worker sent to the community by Mianzhu People’s Hospital, from the beginning of the New Year’s Day, she went to the door every day to take the temperature of the isolated people at home, publicize the knowledge of epidemic prevention, and do her best to monitor the epidemic. The child’s father Shu Shizheng, as the director of the police station in the city, has not finished the security duty on New Year’s Eve, and has received the task of epidemic prevention and control. In recent days, he led a team to assist the streets and communities to shut down 266 related places in the area in time, and concentrated police force to investigate and prevent 61 returnees from Hubei one by one, and cooperated with the government’s prevention and control working group to track down and isolate people, taking the lead in severely investigating 4 cases involving the epidemic, and cracking down on 14 related owners and illegal personnel who secretly operated mahjong halls.
The couple have been away for a long time, and only their son takes care of himself at home. Shu Shizheng said with deep feelings that the post-70s love memories. When the "5.12" Wenchuan earthquake was used for earthquake relief, their son was only 4 years old, and the couple didn’t take care of it much. Now his son is 15 years old. These days, he is allowed to cook and do housework at home alone. Seeing his son’s maturity and independence, he is more gratified and more sour in the face of this sudden situation.

American football star michael vick, who was criticized for his involvement in illegal dog fighting, attended a hearing in the Virginia District Court on the 27th and formally pleaded guilty. Vic apologized to the public for his behavior. He said that he is not mature enough and needs to grow up.
District Court Judge Henry Hudson said that Vic’s plea agreement may not help him reduce his punishment, and he still faces up to five years in prison.
punish severely
Vic arrived at the court to attend the hearing accompanied by supporters and lawyers on the 27th, and also waiting outside the court were protesters holding up photos of "defeated dogs" who were injured in dog fighting competitions. Dog fighting is a bloody game, and Vic has been strongly criticized by the media and animal protectionists.
At the hearing, Judge Hudson asked Vic, "In an conspiracy charge, do you admit guilt because you are really guilty?" Vic replied, "Yes, your honor."
Dog fighting is illegal in 50 States in the United States, and 48 of them even make it a felony. A new bill passed by the US Congress stipulates that "dog fighting" in cross-border transportation is a federal crime. According to the relevant laws and regulations, if convicted, Vic faces up to five years in prison.
Prosecutor Chuck Rosenberg said in a statement: "The person who committed dog fighting for the first time may not be sentenced to imprisonment, but we believe that this case is disgusting, cruel and inhuman, so three of the four defendants, including Vic, should be punished more severely."
The prosecutor suggested that the judge sentence Vic to 12 to 18 months’ imprisonment.
Hudson said that the prosecutor’s suggestion is of great significance to the judgment, but even so, the final judgment is not completely limited by the prosecution’s suggestion.
"You must face any decision I make," Hudson told Vic in court. "If I think you need to serve five years, you must obey." Vic replied again, "Yes, your honor."

apology
Vic, 27, is the star quarterback of Atlanta Falcon, an American professional football team. His 10-year salary of $130 million ranks second among NFL players.
Vic told the media on the 27th that he apologized to the public for "everything I have done". He not only apologized to his coach, teammates and NFL, but also apologized for "immature behavior to all children".
"What I did is very immature, which means I need to grow up," Vic said. "I am responsible for my actions, and now I have to pay for it."
Vic said that he was "disappointed" with himself and "through this incident, I realized my mistake".
"Fighting dogs is a bad thing, and I should resist such a thing," he said. "I apologize to everyone and I will redeem myself. I have to do this. "
Vic admitted on the 24th that he and three other people participated in an illegal inter-state dog fighting organization called "Bad News from Dog kennel" from 2001 to April 2007, and funded dog fighting activities, and admitted that the activities of this dog fighting organization involved gambling and his own participation in the execution of defeated dogs.

In the United States, the scene and consequences of dog fighting are quite cruel. The duration of a dog fighting is as short as 15 minutes and as long as five or six hours until one dog bites the neck of another dog. All 50 States in the United States stipulate that dog fighting is illegal, and 48 of them even list dog fighting as a felony. Even so, the bloody game of dog fighting is still rampant in the United States. Xinhua News Agency/AFP
lose
Vic’s dog fighting behavior not only faced legal sanctions, but also dealt a heavy blow to his football career. Vic has lost most of his sponsorship since he was accused. Nike, a sporting goods manufacturer, suspended the release of a sports shoe named after Vic.
The NFL announced a one-season ban on Vic. Atlanta’s "Falcon" team said that they would not fire Vic immediately, because he had received a dividend of $22 million from the contract signed with the team in 2004, and the "Falcon" team hoped that Vic would return the money.
In a letter to Vic on 24th, Roger Ghoder, a member of NFL Committee, said: "What you admit is not only illegal, but also cruel and should be condemned. Your team, NFL and fans are all hurt by your actions. " (Yan Chao)

The U.S. military slashed its defense budget just to aim at the ＂current war＂？
US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates
When US Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced the defense budget for 2010 on the 6th, he stressed that the US military should drastically reduce the expenditure on R&D and purchase expensive and advanced armaments, and invest more resources to meet the equipment demand in real battlefields such as Iraq and Afghanistan. Analysts said that although it is still unknown whether Gates’s budget can be approved by the US Congress, it reflects a certain shift in the US military strategy.
Give up some "advanced" weapons
According to the defense budget submitted by Gates, the US military plans to reduce or stop some expensive arms production and R&D projects that are not needed at present.
As far as the navy is concerned, a plan to develop a new cruiser based on DDG1000 design will be abolished and the fleet upgrade plan will be suspended.
In the future, the navy will continue to use the main ship type "Ali Burke" class destroyer used in recent years.
It is said that the DDG1000 destroyer is a multi-functional warship that can avoid radar detection.
After the design of this destroyer, it was delayed to be delivered for manufacture, but the cost climbed to more than $3 billion per ship in the past 10 years. Therefore, the US Navy called for abandoning the project, but under the lobbying pressure of congressional interest groups, it only reduced the number of reserved ships from 32 to 3.
In the defense budget, Gates set the premise for purchasing the three ships under construction, that is, the contractor needs to move the two scattered construction sites to the same dock, otherwise the navy will only consider purchasing one of them.
As far as the Army is concerned, the $160 billion future combat systems R&D project will be cut.
Gates specifically pointed out that the chariot research and development project costing $87 billion in the system will be cancelled.
In view of the fact that roadside low-tech bomb attacks are the main cause of American casualties in the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, Gates thinks that instead of developing light chariots with advanced concepts, it is better to spend money on anti-mine ambush vehicles. Based on a South African chariot in the early 1990s, this armored vehicle is said to have effectively reduced the casualties of American troops since it was put into use in Iraq.
For the Air Force, Gates intends to cancel the VH-71 presidential helicopter project costing $13 billion, the C17 new transport aircraft project and an advanced military satellite research and development plan, and at the same time reduce the production of each F-22 fighter at a cost of $140 million, which will be discontinued after 187 fighters are produced.
The F-22 fighter, nicknamed "Raptor", is the most expensive fighter in active service of the US military and the first fourth-generation fighter in the world. Although it has the functions of stealth and supersonic cruise, it is not suitable for helping the US military to deal with roadside bombs in Iraq or hunt down terrorists hiding in the mountains of Afghanistan. Gates said that F-22 fighters are of little use to American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Increase the need of real war
While proposing to cancel and reduce many weapons programs, Gates announced that he would increase funds for other weapons programs. Gates suggested that the navy buy more ships with fast sailing speed, which is beneficial for the military to carry out offshore missions, and suggested that the Air Force increase the number of F-35 joint attack fighters purchased from 14 in fiscal year 2009 to 30 in fiscal year 2010, and the project funds increased from $6.8 billion to $11.2 billion. Gates also said that the Pentagon will increase the funds used to fight against anti-American militants in Iraq and Afghanistan, equip special forces to hunt down terrorists, stop reducing the number of air force and navy personnel, and expand the size of the US Army and Marine Corps, with an increase of 65,000 for the Army and 27,000 for the Marine Corps.
Gates also proposed to allocate $2 billion for the research and development and application of surveillance technology, including the addition of 50 Predator drones. It is said that since the beginning of this year, the US military has repeatedly dispatched Predators to crack down on Al Qaeda and Taliban forces hiding in the border areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Serve the "current war"
American public opinion believes that the main purpose of the defense budget submitted by Gates is to serve the "current war". The expensive armament project that Gates plans to cut is either a combat system formed during the Cold War or an advanced project aimed at mastering the hostile forces of super-sophisticated technology, which is not in line with the current situation. He stressed that what the United States needs is weapons that can be used to equip American soldiers to fight against real enemies.
The Los Angeles Times believes that Gates’ purpose is to shift the focus of military spending from large-scale wars against traditional rivals such as China and Russia to small-scale conflicts against armed forces such as the Taliban, which is the first step for the Obama administration to rebuild the US military. This fundamental and directional change in the focus of national defense spending is essentially to increase the ability of rapid deployment of troops, global response and information warfare, reduce the equipment needed for large-scale wars, and reduce the investment and installation of heavy equipment and traditional large-scale weapons development projects in accordance with the "need to guide contracts", rather than mainly considering meeting the requirements of various services and arms and indulging their selfish greed.
Correspondingly, the deployment of the US missile defense system may also be adjusted. In the defense budget submitted by Gates, the expenditure on missile defense projects will be reduced by $1.4 billion. He proposed to increase investment in regional anti-missile projects targeting missiles with short range and relatively limited strike capability, but to cancel or postpone the deployment of projects targeting intercontinental ballistic missiles.
Although the day before Gates’ defense budget was published, North Korea announced the successful launch of an experimental communication satellite, and arms dealers such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin took the opportunity to lobby that Gates would strengthen the existing multi-layer missile defense system in the United States in the defense budget, but it was not adopted in the end.
Military spending still ranks first in the world.
Analysts said that Gates’ defense budget was a helpless move when the United States was mired in the financial crisis and faced with financial difficulties. Gates himself said bluntly that the purpose of proposing to cancel those eye-catching sophisticated weapons programs is to save money.
Even so, once Gates’ plan was announced, it caused doubts in the United States. In addition to worrying about whether the United States has the ability to defend its homeland security after reducing conventional weapons, public opinion also believes that this plan will certainly not be approved by Congress. Because the plan harms the interests of arms dealers, these arms dealers will inevitably put pressure on members of Congress who represent their interests and obstruct the adoption of the plan. Even if it is passed, it must be transformed in the implementation.
International public opinion generally believes that the so-called worry about the impact of Gates’ reduction of the defense budget on American security is simply unnecessary, because Gates’ plan to reduce large-scale advanced weapons and equipment is itself based on "the United States’ military strength is the only one." Although many armament projects have been drastically reduced, the total defense budget submitted by Gates in 2010 will still reach $534 billion, up from $519 billion in 2009. In fact, the total defense budget of the United States has accounted for more than 40% of the global military expenditure for many years. If the cost of counter-terrorism is added, its defense expenditure is almost equivalent to the sum of all other countries and regions in the world.
