On March 29, after the broadcast of the investigation report “Back medicine” sales network behind the initial “cash withdrawal from medical insurance”, Sichuan Province set up a joint investigation special class composed of relevant departments in the provinces and cities. After the launch of the investigation work on Futon Internet Hospital of Chengdu Chenghua Dongsheng Hospital, a total of four investigation teams were formed to carry out the outbound investigation, data fixation, qualification verification, on-site inquiry and other work. Through preliminary investigation, Futon Internet Hospital of Chengdu Chenghua Dongsheng Hospital has obtained the Internet Hospital Practice License and is qualified for Internet diagnosis and treatment. The doctor who wrote the prescription in the report is a licensed doctor from a medical institution in another province, who has registered as a registered doctor in the Internet hospital. After on-site investigation and verification by the field investigation team, the doctor has a doctor’s qualification certificate and a license, and his practice scope is internal medicine and general practice medicine. He has confirmed that the prescription was issued by himself in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Telemedical Service Management Standard (Trial) through the way of image and text consultation. The investigation team also collected and fixed the data of the whole process of the doctor’s image and text reception. The investigation team focused on the prescription of “intravenous injection of human immunoglobulin” and “human albumin” reported in the news, focusing on the investigation of more than 1000 prescriptions of the Internet hospital recently involving Wuhan Mayinglong Pharmacy. Up to now, 12 prescriptions have been initially found to be suspected of excessive issuance. According to the current investigation, the institution and the doctors involved in the 12 prescriptions have been put on file for investigation. The next step will be to deal with them seriously according to the specific investigation results. At the same time, the Internet hospital has suspended all Internet diagnosis and treatment businesses, and the joint investigation team is continuing to conduct a comprehensive inspection and rectification of the management of registered doctors and doctors’ diagnosis and treatment behavior. According to news reports, the medical insurance department is also conducting on-site inspections and data extraction and analysis. During the investigation, in order to prevent the risk of loss of medical insurance funds, according to the medical insurance service agreement, the hospital has been suspended from medical insurance disbursement. At present, the specialized teams at the provincial, municipal, and district levels in Sichuan Province are conducting comprehensive and in-depth investigations. The next step will be to combine the investigation results and handle them seriously in accordance with the law and regulations. (CCTV News)

Firstly, the basic industries of new energy, including photovoltaics, wind power, batteries, etc., currently account for about 3.5 trillion yuan, with a growth potential of about three times in the next 10 years; Secondly, the new energy vehicle industry is expected to have a total annual sales volume of nearly 30 million vehicles domestically and internationally by 2035, with an estimated ownership of between 200-300 million vehicles; Thirdly, comprehensive electrification of transportation, including electric trains, electric ships, electric airplanes, electric agricultural machinery, electric transport equipment and mobile robots, electrified highways, etc; Fourth, the smart and zero carbon energy industry, including transportation vehicle energy road cloud, power source grid load storage, industrial light storage hydrogen heat (including zero carbon computing power), etc; Fifth, the green hydrogen energy industry. The total annual demand for green hydrogen in China from 2050 to 2060 is about 100-170 million tons, and the output value of this alone is about 2.5-5 trillion yuan. The scale of the new energy related economy will reach over 100 trillion yuan, “said Ouyang Minggao. (Caixin News Agency reporter Zhang Yipeng)

On March 29th, at the China Electric Vehicle Hundred People Forum 2025 held today, Wan Gang, Chairman of the China Association for Science and Technology, stated that efforts will be made to continuously promote the integration of intelligent networking systems for vehicles, roads, and clouds. With the two-way connection of digital maps and traffic control information as the starting point, efforts will be made to promote the interconnection of digital urban traffic information and in vehicle navigation information, and to empower urban traffic efficiency through the synergy of “big data green wave navigation+real-time traffic signals”. To explore a generative AI solution based on the large model of autonomous driving (LDM) and improve the game ability of autonomous vehicle based on traffic rules, it is necessary to explore how to achieve end-to-end intelligent implementation of autonomous vehicle through continuous iteration and evolution in the application practice process through uploading data annotation, training of large model of autonomous driving, typical scene experiment verification, and OTA download of real-time model of vehicle size level under the cooperation of vehicle, road and cloud.

On March 29th, at the China Electric Vehicle Hundred People Forum 2025 held today, Wan Gang, Chairman of the China Association for Science and Technology, stated that efforts will be made to promote the coordinated development of liquid power batteries, solid-liquid hybrid batteries, and all solid state batteries. After years of effort, solid-liquid hybrid batteries have been developed and applied, effectively reducing the amount of organic electrolyte used and improving the safety of the battery. Next, we need to further accelerate the breakthrough of technological bottlenecks such as cost, environmental adaptability, and cycle life to promote the systematic and industrial development of solid-liquid hybrid batteries. For all solid state batteries, the global market is still in the stage of overall research and development and pilot testing. Therefore, it is necessary to continue to strengthen the research and development of key scientific, engineering, and industrial technical challenges for all solid state batteries. Looking towards the future, we still need to strengthen research in cutting-edge basic fields such as lithium sulfur batteries, lithium air batteries, and rare metals, in order to enhance our ability for original innovation.
