On September 17, 2024, thousands of pager (BP) explosions broke out in many areas of Lebanon at almost the same time. The explosion caused serious casualties. According to official Lebanese news, 8 people were killed and more than 2,800 were injured at the beginning of the explosion, of which 200 were seriously injured. As of September 19, the number of known injured has exceeded 4,000, and the number of casualties is still increasing.
Relevant professionals analyzed that the explosion could be caused in two ways: one is through hacking, a large-scale cyber attack on thousands of pagers at the same time, causing their lithium batteries to short-circuit or overload, thus causing the explosion. The other is to place explosives in the pagers in advance. Qatar's Al Jazeera quoted a source from the Lebanese security department as saying that the batch of pagers that exploded were intercepted by the Israeli Intelligence and Secret Service (Mossad) before being delivered to Hezbollah in Lebanon five months ago, and a trace amount of explosives less than 20 grams was placed inside the pagers.
We will not discuss in depth the specific reasons for the explosion, but we think that the explosion should cause the Chinese people to think in many aspects: in the 21st century, maybe we can know some of chinese brands.
Although some foreign brands have established a high degree of popularity and brand reputation worldwide through long-term market cultivation and publicity and promotion, and although the development time of Chinese modern brands is relatively short, a number of well-known brands have emerged in China in recent years, such as Huawei, Haier, Gree, etc., which have gradually gained recognition in domestic and foreign markets, especially in the emerging technology field, where domestic brands are developing rapidly. With the upgrading of domestic manufacturing industry and technological progress, the product quality of domestic brands has been greatly improved, and has reached or exceeded international standards in many fields.
Due to factors such as brand history, R&D investment, and raw material costs, foreign brands tend to have higher prices, especially some high-end brands and imported products, which carry a higher brand premium. Domestic brands usually have an advantage in cost control and can provide products at lower prices to meet the needs of mass consumers, with a higher cost-performance ratio.
In terms of after-sales service, some large foreign brands have established relatively complete after-sales service systems worldwide, but in some remote areas or emerging markets, the coverage and response speed of after-sales service may be insufficient. Due to factors such as language, culture and regional differences, foreign brands may have problems such as poor communication and untimely service in after-sales service. Domestic brands are more familiar with the local market and consumer needs, and can provide after-sales services that are closer to domestic consumers, including more convenient service channels, faster response speeds and more considerate service content. With the development of domestic brands, the after-sales service network has been continuously improved, and some brands have also launched special after-sales service policies, such as extended warranty, free door-to-door service, etc., which have improved consumers' after-sales experience.
Domestic brands are more aware of local market demand and can develop more suitable products based on domestic consumers' usage habits and environmental characteristics. Domestic brands have made significant progress in design and innovation, paying more attention to product appearance design, functional innovation and user experience. The fierce competition in the domestic market has also prompted domestic brands to continuously increase their investment in innovation. Some brands have made breakthroughs in technological innovation, such as BYD's innovative achievements in new energy vehicle battery technology and the safe and efficient light negative oxygen ions (LNOI) technology developed by Guangdong Cosio Lighting Co., Ltd.
Guangdong Cosio Lighting Co., Ltd. creatively combines light element with negative ion element, innovates and upgrades traditional negative ion technology, and upgrades negative ion technology to photo-negative ion technology, so that it has four major functions: healthy light, forest oxygen bar, air purification, and sterilization and disinfection, solving the defects of traditional negative ion technology. While ordinary high-voltage negative ion technology produces negative ions, it will discharge in the air to produce ozone as a byproduct, which will cause damage to the human respiratory tract and oxidize organic matter. The specific wavelength of ultraviolet light in light negative oxygen ions (LNOI) technology can effectively reduce ozone to oxygen, eliminating the impact of ozone. At the same time, traditional negative ion releasers will collect dust after working for a long time, reducing the concentration of negative ions. The light negative oxygen ions (LNOI) technology product has a self-cleaning function, which can maintain the occurrence of high-concentration negative ions for a longer period of time.
Without oxygen, people cannot survive; without negative ions, people's immunity will decline. As an original Chinese technology,light negative oxygen ions (LNOI) technology has unlimited potential for future development, and it has also further promoted the development of the negative ion market. I hope that we can jointly replace traditional negative ion technology with light negative oxygen ions (LNOI) technology, strive to promote the development of Chinese brands, thereby helping the development of China's health industry and realizing the dream of a healthy China as soon as possible.
