Taking advantage of the situation

— Shi Yinghui

In recent years, facing multiple challenges such as shrinking demand, price wars, cost pressure and traffic bottlenecks, some “contented with the status quo” channel dealers and brands have inevitably fallen into the vortex of elimination. However, those who are brave enough to change and are not content with the status quo have already followed the trend and actively sought transformation, thus seizing the opportunity for survival and development. This is undoubtedly a microcosm of the channel-side changes in the heating industry in recent years. With the continuous changes in the market, there is room for development for groups with potential, and there are also some people who have taken advantage of the “trend” and gained development opportunities by leveraging brands in recent years.

In the fierce market competition, price wars are spreading like weeds, and manufacturers and distributors are under unprecedented pressure. From facing the industry trend to returning to a rational market, from “coal to gas” to “coal to electricity”, manufacturers have also witnessed the changes in the development of the industry, and the development of enterprises is always taking advantage of the “trend”.

First, there are opportunities brought by the “aftermarket”. The “aftermarket” of heating refers to the market formed around follow-up services such as equipment maintenance, upkeep, upgrades, and replacements after the basic links such as sales, installation, and commissioning of heating equipment are completed. The multiple service demands involved in this market area will continue to develop along with the equipment life cycle. In this process, we should seize the opportunities brought by the “aftermarket”.

The second is to focus on the development of market segments. In the fierce market competition, many practitioners have already seen the opportunity and found new ways to focus on potential market segments. They concentrate their human, financial, material and resource advantages and are committed to achieving breakthroughs in local markets.

The third is the upgrading of consumer demand. At present, some high-end consumer groups are gradually turning to the pursuit of higher quality and intelligent products. They pay more and more attention to the performance, comfort and energy saving of products, and are willing to “pay” for them. In view of this, heating dealers also need to keep up with the market and adapt to the changes in consumer demand.

The fourth is the accelerated integration of online and offline. With the development and popularization of Internet technology, more and more consumers choose to buy products online and enjoy offline installation, commissioning and maintenance services. This online and offline integration model enables heating companies to better meet consumer needs and improve service efficiency and customer experience. At present, many businesses are also actively exploring the traffic model of online platforms, hoping to expand publicity through diversified channels.

Fifth, the channel sinking is accelerating. As market competition becomes increasingly fierce and cost pressure continues to rise, heating companies urgently need to actively expand marginal markets such as counties and towns to seek new growth momentum. At the same time, the urban market is gradually becoming saturated, and the demand for the heating industry is gradually spreading from urban centers to remote areas, and the pace of channel sinking is accelerating.

There is no doubt that the heating market is facing profound changes and challenges. As a manufacturer that has been deeply involved in the channel market, it is important to understand the importance of grasping the market trend. As the saying goes: “If you stand on the wind, even a pig can take off. But the wind will always leave and come back. The only way is to adapt to the situation and take advantage of the trend.”

 

ICBM Launches and the International Situation: Balance and Challenges

— Hu Yuzhen

As a cutting-edge weapon in modern military technology, every launch of an intercontinental missile will undoubtedly arouse the nerves of the international community. On September 25, 2024, China successfully launched an intercontinental ballistic missile carrying a training simulated warhead. This event not only demonstrated China’s strength in the field of strategic weapons, but also once again pushed international strategic stability, regional security, and arms race issues to the forefront.

China launched a full-range test missile this time, which landed in the relevant international waters of the Pacific Ocean. This is not only a demonstration of China’s national defense science and technology capabilities, but also a practical test of its strategic deterrence force, and a response to the current international situation. Against the backdrop of an increasingly complex global political landscape, the launch of an intercontinental missile reminds countries of the importance of maintaining peace and stability. At the same time, it also sends a signal: when faced with potential threats, the country has reliable self-defense and counterattack capabilities. Against the backdrop of current geopolitical tensions, such actions are often interpreted as a signal of enhanced nuclear deterrence capabilities, which may cause other nuclear-armed countries to reassess their nuclear strategies and defense measures.

The international community’s reactions to this have been complex and varied. US officials said they received advance notice of the test launch and considered it a positive step that would help prevent misunderstandings and misjudgments, and that it showed progress in military transparency and mutual trust between China and the US, at least at some level. However, at the same time, some other countries have expressed concerns about changes in the regional security situation, calling on China to maintain greater transparency and ease tensions through dialogue.

The launch of intercontinental missiles and military exercises are not only about technology demonstration and strategic deterrence, but also have an impact on international diplomacy and arms control negotiations. The international community is generally concerned about the risk of nuclear weapons proliferation and hopes to strengthen global nuclear security through multilateral agreements such as the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). In this process, countries need to maintain necessary restraint and dialogue while safeguarding their own security interests, and jointly promote the development of international nuclear disarmament.

In such a complex and ever-changing international environment, peace and development remain the common goals of all countries in the world. The advancement of military technology is certainly important, but what is more needed is to resolve disputes through political and diplomatic means, avoid the escalation of the arms race, and maintain global strategic balance and stability. As countries with important strategic influence, China, Russia and other countries need to actively participate in international dialogue and cooperation while strengthening their own national defense construction, jointly respond to various security challenges, and contribute to building a more peaceful and prosperous world.
