The world's first "cloned Arctic Wolf" was born in China
According to the British "Daily Telegraph " website on September 28, the whole body is furry and has big eyes Arctic Wolf "Maya " looks like a completely normal cub. However, she was cloned in a laboratory in Beijing and was born by a surrogate beagle "mother". This is a scientific first time, and it may help save endangered species around the world.
This is similar to the technique of cloning sheep "Dolly" in Scottish in 1996. Scientists extracted skin cell from a 16-year-old female wolf (also called "Maya") living in the Harbin Polar Park in northeast China and injected it into the peri-ovial gap of the enucleated oocytes. The somatic nucleus and enucleated oocytes are reconstructed into new embryos, which are then transplanted into the uterus of the surrogate beagle.
It is reported that cloned "Maya" was born in June this year, but researchers at Beijing Xino Valley Biotechnology Co., Ltd. waited 100 days to confirm that she is healthy before revealing her presence to the world.

New energy vehicles are growing rapidly, charging and swapping infrastructure in many places is speeding up
Under the joint promotion of policies and markets, my country's new energy vehicles have achieved rapid growth. data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers shows that from January to August this year, the production and sales of new energy vehicles reached 23.97 million and 3.86 million respectively, an increase of 1.2 times and 1.1 times year-on-year. It is expected that the sales volume of new energy vehicles in this year will exceed 5.5 million . Accelerating the construction of charging infrastructure is an important measure to stimulate consumption of new energy vehicles and drive effective investment.
This year, Beijing has orderly promoted the task of comprehensive rectification of old communities, and plans to build 20,000 electric vehicle charging piles of various types and 30 battery swap stations. Five provinces in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou and Hainan will achieve full coverage of charging facilities for tourist attractions of A and above , and will achieve full coverage of charging piles in townships next year. By 2025, the number of public and dedicated charging and swapping stations in Shandong Province will reach more than 8,000, charging infrastructure will reach more than 150,000, and personal charging infrastructure will reach more than 250,000.
" my country has built about 4 million charging infrastructure, forming the world's largest charging network ." said Song Wen, deputy director of the Planning Department of the National Energy Administration. 5
Many places allow commercial trial operation of autonomous vehicles
Chongqing and Wuhan Two places recently issued new regulations to allow commercial operation of autonomous vehicles. So far, many cities across the country have allowed self-driving cars to be commercially tested in specific areas and periods.
According to the test mutual recognition and evaluation results of the intelligent connected car test demonstration zone released by the Chinese Society of Automobile Engineering and other units, my country has currently opened more than 5,000 kilometers of intelligent connected car (autonomous driving) test roads in . In August, the Ministry of Transport issued the "Guidelines for Transportation Safety Services of Autonomous Driving Vehicles (Trial)" (draft for soliciting opinions), encouraging and standardizing the application of autonomous driving cars in the field of transportation services. 6
6. Many places allow self-driving cars to be commercially tested
htmlOn September 27, DJI industry application released two small drones for industry users: Mavic 3E and Mavic 3T.
