The Foreign Affairs Committee of the National People’s Congress issued a statement on the resolution on the incident involving unmanned airships passed by the US Senate.

On February 20, the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National People’s Congress issued a statement in response to the so-called "resolution on the unmanned airship incident" passed by the US Senate. The full text is as follows:

The so-called "resolution on unmanned airship incident" recently passed by the US Senate wantonly hyped up the "China threat" and maliciously attacked and discredited China. This is another wrong act by the US side to distort the facts and confuse the audience in an attempt to put pressure on China after the House of Representatives passed a similar resolution.

As a responsible big country, China has always strictly abided by international law and respected the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries. China’s civilian unmanned airship strayed into the airspace of the United States by mistake, which was an accident and accidental event caused entirely by force majeure. China has repeatedly informed the United States and introduced the relevant situation to the international community in a timely manner, demanding that the United States properly handle it in a calm, professional and restrained manner. The United States turned a deaf ear to China’s solemn position repeatedly stated, abused force and overreacted, which seriously violated the spirit of international law and international practice. The United States Congress deliberately incited opposition, created tension, and politicized, complicated and expanded accidents, which is a typical hegemonic and hegemonic act. Who is the world’s largest spy monitoring country, the United States is well aware, and the world has its own public opinion.

We strongly urge the US Congress to respect the facts, the principles of international law and the basic norms of international relations, immediately stop smearing China and avoid further interference and damage to Sino-US relations.

Recently, overseas media reported that Tesla’s new Model Y test vehicle was unveiled on the roads in Spain. Although the vehicle has camouflage, it can be recognized from the outline that this is the new model Y. It is worth noting that this is the first time that the test car of this model has been found outside the United States, and it is predicted that it will be put into production at Tesla’s factory in Berlin, Germany.

Different from the spy photos previously exposed in the United States, the position of the license plate at the rear of the new Model Y in Europe was moved from the tailgate to the bumper, and the window frame was decorated with integrated highlight chrome. It is further understood that the redesign of the headlights and rear headlights will be the focus of this change, and the through design may be adopted, and the headlights will become more slender, while the original fog lights will be cancelled. However, due to the strict cover of the taillight area, its specific design is still unclear.

Regarding the body shape, the new Model Y is expected to maintain the contour features similar to those of the current models, including the sliding back design in which the panoramic canopy extends to the tail window. Overseas observers have shared the spy photos of the appearance of the new Model Y, from which we can see the appearance of the 3D model of the vehicle.

In terms of interior, from the photos leaked in the early days, the interior of the new Model Y will be close to the updated Model 3, and the overall texture will be improved. The newly added penetrating atmosphere lights are eye-catching, and the carbon fiber-like panel is decorated under the central control screen. The steering wheel has also adopted a new design, and the traditional steering gear and turn signal levers have been replaced by screen control and steering wheel button operation.

In terms of power system, the new Model Y may continue to use the power configuration of the current model. For example, the power parameters of the current Model Y are: the output power of the rear-wheel drive version is 220 kW, the torque is 440 Nm, and the 0-100 km/h acceleration time is 5.9 seconds; The long-life all-wheel drive version has a power of 331 kW and a torque of 559 Nm, and the acceleration of 100 km takes only 5 seconds. As for the high-performance version, there may be new power options in the future.

In terms of endurance, the CLTC endurance of the Model Y long-endurance all-wheel drive version and the Performance high-performance version currently sold in the domestic market reached 688 km and 615 km respectively. It is rumored that the new Model Y will be equipped with a large-capacity battery of 95 kWh, which is mainly used for long battery life and performance versions. Combined with the improvement of energy efficiency management and aerodynamics, compared with the existing 75 kWh battery, the battery life is expected to increase by more than 26%, and the battery life of the long-life all-wheel drive version may exceed the 800 km mark. We will continue to follow up on more developments of the new Model Y.
