Can only be imported from China! Apple shot, Tesla is not far behind, but also asked for this material tax exemption!
Now, what is the biggest headache for the United States? Is the COVID-19 epidemic uncontrollable? Wrong, inflation can't cool down.
Previously, the U.S. government had unanimously stated that inflation was only temporary. Sure enough, the most successful liars even dared to deceive themselves. However, inflation doesn't suddenly disappear just because you say it's temporary. If the government does not intervene, it will only intensify.
As a result, the United States recently ushered in a "punch in the face" moment. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, who has always insisted on the "temporary theory of inflation", has recently had to change his mouth, believing that the "temporary theory" should be abandoned. It can be seen from Powell's sudden change of rhetoric that the current inflation in the United States is indeed not easy to solve.
The so-called inflation, to say that the price of goods continues to rise, to slow down inflation, we must first let the price drop. For the Fed, raising interest rates can do just that. However, this is also a big hurdle for the US economic recovery. So what to do? The crucial moment depends on the US government.
Recently, the U.S. government said it would select a portion of more than 540 goods subject to import taxes for exemption, and any business could apply. To put it bluntly, it is to slow down inflation in the United States by reducing import taxes.
When it comes to tax cuts, large technology companies have come to the spirit one by one. In the past 2 months, the U.S. government has received more than 1700 applications.
After Apple applied for a tax exemption for parts from China, Tesla also seized the time to act. Tesla said that after conducting a comprehensive survey of global and U.S. artificial graphite suppliers, Tesla concluded that the graphite needed for its battery production can only be imported from China, and no company in the United States can produce graphite that meets its standards, so it requires "tax exemption" for graphite.
As we all know, the purpose of the United States to increase import taxes in that year was to let US companies use "domestic products", and the United States should not import some things, make the US manufacturing industry bigger again, and let the US economy return to the peak.
So this time Tesla also emphasized this point in the application: sorry, it is not that I do not like to use domestic products, but the American supplier is too crotch-pulling to make what I need. So, even if you raise taxes, I should still import from China.
Interestingly, before Tesla submitted its application, Apple's application also specifically emphasized that the parts needed by the company could only be made by Chinese suppliers.
Although we occupy the pricing power of graphite, however, it is only a resource, not a high-tech product!
The real high-tech, is the chip, lithography machine and the like, we are still caught by foreign cards.
The shortage of chips has been greatly affected by our country, because we cannot build advanced lithography machines, we cannot make high-end chips, and we can only find TSMC OEM.
TSMC once sneered: "1.4 billion people, but even high-end chips can not be made." ”
Because the manufacture of chips requires a lithography machine, the Dutch lithography giant also followed the irony: "Even if you give you the drawings directly, you still can't make a lithography machine." ”
Although these words are difficult to hear, they are worth reflecting on by each and every one of us.
Ren Zhengfei said that China's inability to make chips is related to the scarcity of talents.
Qian Xuesen said: We need more physics talents.
These words truly reflect the problems of education in our country. Aren't our children smart enough? Of course not.
China's annual graduates are close to 10 million, even if 1,000 people produce a scientist, that is 10,000 people. China's science students have graduated in the past 5 years, even 10 times as many as the United States, but there are not many truly cutting-edge science talents, and many of them work in foreign companies.
Why is this happening? What we lack is a large number of physicists and chemists, and there is no shortage of translators, but our children begin to spend a lot of time learning English from an early age, but they do not begin to contact physics and chemistry until the age of thirteen or fourteen, which is the complete opposite of the actual needs of our country.
Professor Yang Zhenning, winner of the "Nobel Prize in Physics", said in the early years: China attaches too much importance to English, but English is also the least used in ordinary times, and the physical chemistry that we can contact in daily life is learned later and has a lower proportion, which is very unreasonable.
Yang Zhenning appealed: "What is more important now is to train more young scientists and achieve self-improvement in science and technology." ”
In this regard, China has also made adjustments in recent years, such as CCTV's "First Time" once recommended the "This is Physics" series of books to domestic parents, and this book was also personally recommended by academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
The content is made from comics and can be understood by 6 to 12 years old. It gives those abstract concepts to comic images, through anthropomorphic techniques, the microscopic world is visualized, and with vivid words, children can see a beautiful and magical scientific world.
For example, in the explanation of "Light", there is a question that many children may ask: How is the rainbow formed?
The principle is: raindrops bend the light! See? Each raindrop resembles a tiny prism. It disperses sunlight into different colors of light.
The complete set of "This is Physics" has a total of 10 volumes, covering 10 important physics topics that must be learned in primary and secondary schools in China, including force, motion, sound, electricity, magnetism, gravity, etc. The knowledge points contained in it basically cover more than 85% of the secondary school physics test sites.
"This is Physics" is not only a child's interest in planting science, but more importantly, learning a scientific, rational analysis and ability to look at problems and thinking, so that children can benefit for life.
Hurry up and learn with your child to lay the foundation for future lessons!
Smart parents, already in action, have long given their children a full set of 66 volumes of "This is Physics", click on the commodity card below to get it.

In addition to the "This is Physics" series, there is also "Teacher Li Yongle To Children About Physics" this set of books, a full set of books is divided into 10 volumes, including more than 90% of the knowledge points of junior high school physics, in the form of comics, especially suitable for children to read.
