On January 27, Jiang Huamao, Director of the Road Passenger Transport Department of the Beijing Municipal Commission of Transport, led a delegation to visit Qingdong Technology for a special survey, conducting a field trip to observe the enterprise's hydrogen vehicle operations and safety production management. Zhang Jingxing, Deputy Director of the Road Passenger Transport Department, and Huang Jinlong, Director of the Yanqing District Transport Bureau, accompanied the survey. Both government and enterprise sides worked together to discuss pathways for high-quality development of the hydrogen transportation industry. During the survey, Jiang Huamao listened in detail to Qingdong Technology’s report on operational layout, market expansion, and safety production system construction. He focused on reviewing materials such as safety management systems, vehicle operation and maintenance records, and emergency response plans, affirming the enterprise’s standardized procedures for the full life cycle safety management of hydrogen vehicles. At the symposium, Jiang Huamao, in light of Beijing’s hydrogen energy industry development plan, put forward work requirements for Qingdong Technology. He emphasized that hydrogen energy is a core direction for green transformation in the transportation sector, and the enterprise must prioritize safety production, improve the full-chain safety management system, and refine emergency procedures to strengthen the safety baseline. He encouraged the enterprise to deepen its involvement in the hydrogen transportation sector, aiming to set an industry benchmark, build a standardized industrial system, and create a core competitive brand. This survey has clarified the development direction for Qingdong Technology. Both government and enterprise sides will take this opportunity to deepen cooperation, promote the large-scale and safe application of hydrogen technology in the transportation sector, and support Beijing in building a green transportation system that “uses electricity where appropriate and hydrogen where suitable,” making hydrogen energy a “green engine” for regional high-quality development.

Yunnan Copper responded to measures addressing the significant decline in smelting processing fees, producing 1.206 million mt of copper cathode and 12.71 mt of gold last year. Yunnan Copper stated that, on one hand, the company strategically focuses on "digital transformation, expanding resources, refining mines, optimizing smelting, solidifying recycling (copper), and detailing rare and scattered (metals)," increasing the extraction of urban mines and rare scattered metals. On the other hand, after several years of cost reduction and efficiency improvement, the company has achieved a certain level of competitiveness in the cost of its main products. Additionally, the company has enhanced the profit contribution of by-products such as sulphuric acid, selenium, tellurium, platinum, palladium, and rhenium, thereby improving its overall competitiveness.

[A Joint Notice from Ten Departments Urges Careful Implementation of "Several Measures to Accelerate the Improvement of Transportation Services and Safety Assurance Capabilities for New Energy Vehicle Power Lithium Batteries"] According to the "Several Measures," by 2027, efforts will be made to further unblock bottlenecks in the transportation of power lithium batteries, steadily improve transportation efficiency, further optimize the overall transportation structure, significantly enhance the level of transportation safety assurance, and ensure the safety and stability of the supply chain for new energy vehicles and power lithium batteries. The "Several Measures" clearly state that the safety supervision at the source of power lithium batteries must be strengthened. The revision of the "Safety Requirements for Traction Batteries for Electric Vehicles" will be accelerated to improve the safety technical requirements for power lithium batteries, clarify the thermal runaway safety performance indicators and testing methods for power lithium batteries, and elevate the inherent safety level of power lithium batteries.
