Wedding banquets, full moon banquets, one-year-old banquets … All kinds of banquets are full, and you are embarrassed not to go? This kind of banquet, which people call "human pyramid scheme", is annoying, and it is even more difficult if it comes to such banquets of leading cadres. On July 25, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection issued a draft for comments on relevant regulations, and put forward restrictions on various banquets of party and state staff.

　　The wedding banquet shall not exceed 30 tables at most.

　　As party and state workers, except for weddings and funerals, it is strictly forbidden to invite and accept relatives (immediate family members, collateral relatives within three generations and close in-laws, the same below) in any other way; The total number of wedding banquets shall not exceed 200 (20 tables), and the number of wedding banquets shall not exceed 300 (30 tables) if the two parties jointly host the wedding banquet in the same city … On July 25th, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection solicited opinions and suggestions from all walks of life through the official website Sanxiang Fengji. com to regulate the handling of weddings, funerals and celebrations by party and state staff.

　　In addition to restricting the types and number of banquets, the Interim Provisions on Regulating the Matters of Wedding, Funeral and Celebration by Party and State Staff (Online Draft for Comment) published by Sanxiang Fengji. com (hereinafter referred to as the draft for comment) stipulates that the size of the wedding and burial motorcade shall not exceed 8 vehicles, and official vehicles are not allowed to be used illegally, and special vehicles such as law enforcement duty are strictly prohibited; The wedding should be filed with the discipline inspection commission at the same level or the discipline inspection and supervision organ of the unit five working days in advance, and reported to the discipline inspection commission 10 working days after the funeral. The main person in charge of the "Four Masters" handled the wedding, funeral and celebration and reported to the superior discipline inspection commission.

　　According to the provisions of the exposure draft, if you violate the above provisions, you will be criticized, educated, organized or disciplined according to the seriousness of the case; Anyone suspected of violating the law and committing a crime shall be investigated for legal responsibility according to law. Gifts and gifts received in violation of regulations shall be returned or collected according to regulations. If someone in the unit violates the rules, the leader fails to stop it, or fails to stop and investigate it, resulting in adverse effects, the main leaders and leaders in charge of the unit will be held accountable for party discipline and political discipline.

　　Worried that the regulations are difficult to implement.

　　In the draft for comments, the upper limit of holding a wedding banquet is set at 30 tables. Li Qi, who is in his early thirties this year, works in a state-owned enterprise. He said that he usually attends a friend’s wedding with a dozen or twenty tables, but how many tables are actually "big-handed"? Li Qi believes that this should be decided according to his own situation. "If there are many relatives and friends, do more; If there are few relatives and friends, you will do less. "

　　Another married man in Liling, who works in a provincial organ, thinks that such a provision is suspected of public rights interfering with private rights. He believes that some people have a wide range of communication because of work, life and study, and it is understandable to exceed this definition.

　　At the same time, Li Qi and the above-mentioned married men are worried that it will be difficult to implement the regulations after they are introduced, and eventually it will become a "gust of wind", which can only temporarily stop the brakes and do big things.

　　In this regard, the relevant person in charge of the Investigation and Regulation Office of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection said that during the consultation period, media interviews will not be accepted for the time being, and the interim measures will be officially introduced, and reporters will be specially answered on relevant situations. At the same time, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection also welcomes people from all walks of life to put forward suggestions and opinions to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection by mail.

　　Netizen voice

　　"I hope that the implementation in the later stage must be in place."

　　Knight: After reading this regulation carefully, it should be the strictest regulation in the country to regulate the handling of weddings, funerals and celebrations. I think the key is to implement it. We will wait and see if the regulations are formally promulgated.

　　YOYO: I hope we can refine the rules. Can’t colleagues, classmates and comrades-in-arms give gifts normally when they hold weddings?

　　Runner: The introduction of new regulations is definitely a big step forward. It is an open attitude to collect opinions. Since the measures introduced this time are so strict, I hope that they will be put in place in the later implementation, otherwise it will be easier to rebound and become a mere formality.

　　Qing dynasty is popular: it should be introduced quickly; The regulations should be more detailed; The key is to implement it. Reporter Jie’ni Yang Intern Zhang Yufang

　　Interim Provisions on Standardizing the Matters of Wedding, Funeral and Celebration Organized by Party and State Staff

　　(Online consultation draft)

　　In order to strictly regulate the affairs of weddings, funerals and celebrations organized by Party and state staff, and promote the improvement of work style and the building of a clean government, these Interim Provisions are formulated in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Central Committee and the Provincial Party Committee on improving work style, stopping extravagance and waste, and strengthening honesty and self-discipline, combined with reality.

　　Article 1: It is forbidden to make a fuss about weddings, funerals and celebrations.

　　Advocate changing customs and traditions, and insist on frugality in all matters of weddings, funerals and celebrations.

If a funeral is arranged, the actual situation shall be reported within 10 working days after the event. Party committees, people’s congresses, governments and CPPCC leaders at all levels handle weddings, funerals and celebrations, and report to the higher-level discipline inspection commission.

　　Article 9 Party and state functionaries mentioned in these Provisions include Party functionaries and state functionaries. The Party’s staff members refer to the staff members in the Party’s organs at all levels except the workers and the party member who is engaged in Party affairs full-time and part-time in the Party’s grass-roots organizations. State functionaries refer to those who are engaged in public affairs in state organs; Personnel engaged in public affairs in state-owned companies, enterprises, institutions and people’s organizations; Personnel appointed by state organs, state-owned companies, enterprises and institutions to engage in public service in non-state-owned companies, enterprises, institutions and social organizations, and other personnel engaged in public service according to law.

　　Tenth the provisions shall come into force as of the date of issuance, and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial Supervision Department shall be responsible for the interpretation. In September 2005, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial Supervision Department issued the "Provisions on Prohibiting Leading Cadres from Taking advantage of weddings, funerals, weddings and celebrations to take the opportunity to collect money" (Xiang Jifa [2005] No.12) which was abolished at the same time.

　　CCTV News:On December 5, 2017, the case of Li Yilong, former secretary of Hengyang Municipal Committee of Hunan Province, accepting bribes, embezzling, abusing his power and having a huge amount of property of unknown origin was publicly heard in the Intermediate People’s Court of Loudi City, Hunan Province. The prosecution alleged that from 2005 to 2016, Li Yilong illegally accepted property directly or through his wife and daughter, amounting to RMB 9.65 million.

　　Former deputy director of the Social and Legal Committee of the Hubei Provincial Political Consultative Conference, former deputy secretary and deputy director of the Party Committee of the Provincial Department of Justice, and former party secretary and director Cheng Ying of the Provincial Prison Administration.(data map)

　　A week ago, the Hubei Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection announced that the former deputy director of the Social and Legal Affairs Committee of the Hubei Provincial Political Consultative Conference, the former deputy secretary and deputy director of the Provincial Department of Justice, and the former party secretary and director of the Provincial Prison Administration, Cheng Ying, were "double-opened". In the notification, "conniving at his wife’s profit-making activities within his jurisdiction" was impressively listed.

　　Individual leading cadres not only engage in power and money transactions in front of the stage, but also condone their families to collect money behind the scenes. Among the fallen "big tigers", such as Su Rong, Li Chuncheng and Bai Enpei, they all acquiesced in the "madam route" of junior officials or businessmen.

　　Having a "pet" wife at home: causing the loss of state-owned assets, 1 billion handyman turned into the party secretary of the Red Cross.

　　In June 2014, Su Rong, former vice chairman of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, was dismissed.

　　According to insiders, during Su Rong’s administration in Jiangxi, his wife Yu Lifang frequently intervened in land transfer, project construction, bidding and tendering, demanding and accepting huge amounts of property. The land business she had intervened in caused the loss of state-owned assets to reach 1 billion yuan.

　　Yu Lifang travels all over Jiangxi all day, making friends with all kinds of people, and many cadres and businessmen compete to please "Yu Jie". And many senior leaders in Jiangxi Province bribed Su Rong in disguise by bribing "Yu Jie", so as to gain Sue’s trust and promotion opportunities.

　　Su Rong wrote in "Confessions", "My home ‘ Yu Jie ’ It has become synonymous with Jiangxi’s power and money transactions. I have problems, my wife has become greedy, and I have to stop at nothing. " "My home has become ‘ Power and money exchange ’ , I am ‘ Director ’ , the wife is ‘ Cashier ’ 。”

　　Li Chuncheng, former deputy secretary of Sichuan Provincial Committee and former secretary of Chengdu Municipal Committee, is also such a "pet" wife.

　　Li Chuncheng’s wife Qu Songzhi (data map)

　　Li Chuncheng’s wife Qu Songzhi used to be a handyman in a hospital in Chengdu. In 2003, Li Chuncheng served as the secretary of the Chengdu Municipal Party Committee. Before the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, she was promoted to be the director of the Science and Technology Department of Chengdu Health Bureau. After the Wenchuan earthquake, he was transferred to the vice president of Chengdu Red Cross Society. In 2009, he became the Party Secretary and Executive Vice President of Chengdu Red Cross Society. Due to Qu Songzhi’s long-term absence, he goes to work every two months, and the staff of the Red Cross Society can’t pay for it for a long time, so he has to make private advances, which is miserable.

　　At the beginning of December 2012, after Li Chuncheng was investigated for violating discipline, Qu Songzhi was also investigated.

　　In January 2013, Qu Songzhi was removed from the post of Party Secretary of Chengdu Red Cross Society.

　　On January 8, 2016, the court of Xian ‘an District, Xianning City, Hubei Province found that Qu Songzhi had taken bribes of more than 28 million yuan in a joint crime with Li Chuncheng and was sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment.

　　Like Su Rong and Li Chuncheng, there are still some officials who "spoil their wives and hurt themselves".

　　Zhang Huiqing, the wife of Bai Enpei, the former secretary of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee, was promoted to the official level cadre by a waitress, but her speech was off topic, and her personal quality was criticized.

　　Of the 45 bribery records of Wang Suyi, former member of the Standing Committee of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Party Committee and former minister of the United Front Work Department, 13 were collected through his wife Wang Zhihong.

　　Zhou, the wife of Gong Xinzhi, the former secretary of Xintian County Committee of Hunan Province, was sentenced to 1 year and 10 months in prison for her husband’s long-term wandering around, causing depression and seeking material satisfaction by taking bribes.

　　……

　　Having a "crazy" wife at home: humiliating the real estate boss "pig and dog are not as good as" and "big sister" can smoke, drink and play cards.

　　On August 28th, 2017, Jiang Zunyu, former member of the Standing Committee of Shenzhen Municipal Committee and secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, was sentenced to life imprisonment for accepting bribes. Upon verification, Jiang Zunyu received bribes from relevant units or individuals directly or through others, amounting to RMB 32.65 million and HK$ 46.7 million.

　

　　Jiang Zunyu, former member of the Standing Committee of Shenzhen Municipal Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee.(data map)

　　According to media reports, Jiang Zunyu’s wife, Li, is extremely arrogant on weekdays. She not only collects the benefits provided by many real estate developers in disguise in various names, but even takes a huge "tribute" from the boss of a private enterprise behind her husband’s back and shamelessly reaches out and asks for bribes. In the eyes of many social bosses, she is "greedy, direct and low-quality", and even humiliated the real estate boss Guo "pig and dog are not as good as". Guo once said to the case handlers, "Compared with his wife, Jiang is still like a person."

　　So crazy is the wife of Yu Shaodong, the former party secretary and director of Chengkou County People’s Congress in Chongqing.

　　In Chengkou County, Yu Shaodong’s wife is a famous "big sister". She is not only good at smoking, drinking and playing cards, but also has a bad temper and dares to say and do. At a sports meeting of government officials, because she was dissatisfied with the referee’s penalty, she took the lead and led the employees of her unit to have a fierce conflict with each other, which had a bad influence.

　　When she served as the director of the mineral products fee collection institute in Chengkou County, she also received money bribes from local business owners many times. In the end, it not only ruined my reputation, but also ruined my husband’s future and the happiness of the whole family. In May 2014, Yu Shaodong was sentenced to 12 years in prison for accepting bribes.

　　Have a "virtuous" wife at home: spend 7.5 million "fishing husband" to report the ex-husband and cause him to fall.

　　As the saying goes, "a good wife at home is better than a fertile land", but the "xian" of the wives of some fallen officials is useless to the right place.

　　Li Dingrong, former deputy director of Shajing Sub-district Office in Bao ‘an District, Shenzhen, was arrested for accepting bribes. His wife spent 7.5 million to entrust a Hainan man, Wang Tiansheng, to "fish for people", and Wang Tiansheng spent 5.7 million to find Li, a retired director who had worked in the organization department of Hainan Province, but Li Dingrong was still sentenced to 13 years in prison. In the end, it was impossible to catch people, and both of them were accused of fraud.

　

　　Hou Fengqi, former secretary of Wuhai Municipal Committee of Inner Mongolia(data map)

　　Yang Xiue, the wife of Hou Fengqi, the former secretary of Wuhai Municipal Committee of Inner Mongolia, knew that her husband illegally accepted other people’s property and helped to hide and transfer a total of RMB 24.98 million. Both of them boarded the trial platform at the same time.

　　After Zhou Jianhua, former director of the Standing Committee of Xinyu Municipal People’s Congress in Jiangxi Province, was sentenced for accepting bribes, his ex-wife Yao Minjian went around to plead for him, while his current wife Liang Wenyao said that she "didn’t want to get involved in the political whirlpool again".

　　"It takes a hundred years to cross the same boat, and a thousand years to sleep together." Some ex-wives miss the old feelings and rush to complain, but some ex-wives will never be soft when they "put their righteousness above their family."

　　On June 2, 2017, Dai Haibo, former Deputy Secretary-General of Shanghai Municipal People’s Government, was sentenced to 9 years’ imprisonment for accepting bribes and concealing overseas deposits.

　　Earlier, some media reported that Dai Haibo had been reported by his ex-wife for a long time to be suspected of corruption when he was in charge of Shanghai Pudong New Area, or involved in Disney’s land acquisition and demolition projects, as well as owning multiple properties. These reports have been troubling Dai Haibo’s career.

　　Yang Chongyong, former Party Secretary and Deputy Director of the Standing Committee of the People’s Congress of Hebei Province, was taken away for investigation on March 30, 2017. His dismissal was due to his ex-wife reporting his economic problems while working in Hebei.

　　Zhu Mingguo, former chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Political Consultative Conference, was transferred from Hainan to the mountain city of Chongqing. The important reason for this transfer is that Zhu Mingguo was reported, and his ex-wife was one of the informants.

　　"Husband and wife are birds in the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly separately." Lin Kongxing, the former general manager of Huazhong Electric Power Group Company, and his wife Wang Ping staged a farce of "turning against each other" in court.

　　During Lin Kongxing’s tenure, he abused power for personal gain, his family operated behind the scenes, practiced fraud, made illegal profits of 82.86 million yuan, and took bribes with his wife Wang Ping.

　　At the trial, Lin Kongxing’s first sentence was: "The money was collected by Wang Ping, I don’t know." In one sentence, I put all the blame on my wife. "Her money is in her safe. I don’t have a password or a key. I can’t open it at all. Besides, I can’t manage Wang Ping’s business. " "This is Lin Kongxing’s framing of me!" Wang Ping was emotional and retorted loudly: "Lin Kongxing can’t frame me for his own liberation, which makes me very angry." Wang Ping also scolded her husband twice, then kept wiping away tears and said, "Bastard! Nonsense! Everything depends on me. "

　　In the face of criminal facts, quibbling and prevarication also looked pale and powerless, and the two were finally sentenced together.

　　The Code of Honesty and Self-discipline in the Communist Party of China (CPC) clearly requires that leading cadres in party member should be "honest and tidy, and consciously take the lead in establishing a good family style". As the family members of leading cadres, they should be "propagandists" and "supervisors" of anti-corruption, always stay awake, guard against corruption and bribery, always read the "clean government classics", blow more "clean wind" and be a real "good wife".

In recent years, cycling has increasingly become the endorsement of people’s pursuit of freedom and health. However, these pursuits often conflict with the complexity of the real environment.

On August 11 this year, a father in Hebei rode with his child. After the child fell, he was crushed by the opposite vehicle and died unfortunately. On September 15th, a mainland woman unfortunately lost control and fell while riding on Lantau Island in Hong Kong, and was crushed to death by an oncoming tourist bus.

These accidents reflect the potential safety hazards faced by cyclists when they enjoy sports and explore the scenery, and also make us think deeply, how can we find a balance between freedom and safety in cycling?

Behind the craze, cycling accidents continue to increase.

The concept of cycling is no stranger. Different from the bicycle culture full of pragmatism in China in 1970s and 1980s,Nowadays, cycling has developed into a highly respected sport.

According to the "Survey Bulletin of National Fitness Activities in 2020" issued by the National Physical Fitness Monitoring Center, cycling is one of the main sports for adults in China, and the proportion of women is higher.

The rise of cycling groups and cycling activities makes cycling add social attributes to sports. Yaya, who has participated in cycling activities for many times, told us: "Riding has made me make many different friends, and I enjoy this free state." Health, relaxation, pursuit of freedom, social interaction … Riding itself has been given more meaning, and it has also become a personalized choice for people to pursue self-expression at present.

With more and more people participating in cycling, especially in complex scenes such as cities and traffic roads, the number of cycling accidents is also increasing.According to statistics, in recent years, the incidence of bicycle traffic accidents in China has been increasing, and the number of injuries and deaths has also been rising.

The recent cycling accidents have also pushed cycling to the forefront and exposed its potential safety risks.

Multiple factors are superimposed, and the hidden dangers of riding safety are highlighted.

Behind the frequent cycling accidents, there are many factors, such as environment, man-made and equipment.

In the feedback about riding risks from the People’s Daily Online leaders’ message board,Inappropriate road conditions and the lack of dedicated cycling lanes are important factors affecting riding safety.Dahai is the founder of the bicycle organization in China Renmin University. In his view, the road conditions have a great influence on riding safety. The smooth roads in some cities are one of the reasons for the rising cycling fever. In other cities, there are many bumps in the downtown roads, which are easy to cause riding safety hazards and make people flinch.

The smoothness, width and visibility of the road surface all play an important role in riding safety, but some roads lack special bicycle lanes, so cyclists usually need to share narrow roads with motor vehicles, which increases the risk of collision. The sea also tells us that electric bicycles, as a common means of transportation, are numerous, and their irregular driving has caused great safety pressure to cyclists. At present, the domestic electric vehicle management is relatively loose, which makes this problem more prominent.

In addition to the imperfect cycling infrastructure, there are often contradictions between cyclists and other road users. We coded and analyzed 988 comments under the four most typical posts on the theme of "Riding to Quit" in Xiaohongshu, looking for a spit point. In the comments, the opinion on "too fast" is the biggest. Others mostly focus on cyclists’ behaviors that do not obey traffic rules, such as occupying roads, running lights, retrograde, etc. Some people are worried about cyclists’ lack of professional knowledge and safety equipment.

For mature cycling groups, experience, equipment and professional knowledge seem to be no longer a problem. There are many cyclists in the G318 Sichuan-Tibet line, including many large and small motorcades. Xiaojin, who once rode the line, said that this kind of cycling group usually has experienced riders as the "head car" and "tail car". The "head car" will observe the situation ahead in advance and give tips in the way agreed by the team when encountering special circumstances such as uneven road surface or about to turn. They are usually well-equipped, such as preparing lighting facilities to deal with the situation of entering dark sections such as tunnels. The leadership of experienced people, full preparation and orderly management all add a safety guarantee to cycling.

However, the popularity of modern high-performance bicycles makes many cyclists have a higher pursuit of speed. The control ability of cyclists in high-speed state is weakened, and the reaction time of judging and dealing with emergencies is greatly shortened. More importantly, riding accidents caused by high speed have greater impact and more fatal damage to cyclists.

When talking about the riding accident in Hebei, Xiaojin said: "The reaction speed and strength of children are still different from those of adults. His father may treat him as an adult."

From the unfinished construction roads in Hebei to the winding mountain roads in Hong Kong,When cycling becomes a contest between high-speed sports and complex road conditions, the imbalance of safety becomes particularly obvious.

How to ensure riding safety within the rules?

In practice,Some bicycles can easily ride at a speed of more than 30 kilometers per hour, and the speed can even reach 50 kilometers per hour when going downhill.[1]. This has far exceeded China’s regulations that the maximum speed of electric bicycles in non-motor vehicle lanes should not exceed 15 kilometers per hour.

Compared with electric bicycles, China’s "Regulations on the Implementation of Road Traffic Safety Law"(hereinafter referred to as the regulations)The regulations on cycling are relatively broad, and there is no clear regulation on the speed of cycling and whether it is necessary to wear a helmet. However, the regulations stipulate the minimum age for cycling, the lanes that can be driven and how to borrow roads in an orderly manner. At the same time, there are clear prohibitions on traction, climbing and parallel chasing.

At the same time, some cities in China also put forward management measures for racing cycling. On July 25, 2024, the Beijing Municipal Public Security Traffic Management Bureau issued a message to strictly investigate the "racing" behavior of cyclists on urban roads. Since August, 2023 illegal behaviors of non-motor vehicles chasing and racing have been punished on the spot.[2]. In March, Chengdu issued the Measures for the Management of Greenway Riding in Chengdu’s Ecological Zone around the City.(Provisional)",clearly stipulates the" greenway speed limit ",and requires that the warning sign of safe riding speed should be set according to the principle that the maximum speed of high-risk sections and crowded areas is not more than 15km/h, and the maximum speed of other sections is not more than 20 km/h.[3].

In terms of helmet wearing, some foreign cities have legislative provisions. For example, at present, 22 states in the United States and Washington, D.C. have legislation on wearing helmets when riding bicycles, mostly to protect the safety of young cyclists.[4]. The laws of Sydney and New South Wales in Australia require all cyclists to wear helmets that meet the standards, and wear and fasten them firmly to ensure the safety of cyclists.[5].

Abiding by the rules and ensuring safety are the principles that everyone should jointly safeguard. Failure to take appropriate riding methods should be disciplined and reminded, and even worse, bear relevant responsibilities.At present, some uncivilized and even illegal cases have brought negative effects to normal cycling exercise groups, leading to the public’s stereotype and stigma of cycling groups. Within the scope of the rules, cyclists should not be looked at and questioned as a separate group.

Whether it is legislation, infrastructure or public awareness, cycling needs to be better embraced and accepted.But at the personal level, civilized riding is still the premise of ensuring safety, and it is also the responsibility of every rider to himself and others.

To this end, we have also compiled a cycling tip, hoping that every cyclist can always enjoy peace while pursuing freedom.

Note: At the request of the interviewee, Yaya, Dahai and Xiaojin are all pseudonyms.

At present, some unscrupulous operators sell fake and shoddy drugs by packaging them as "magic doctors" and "magic medicines", fooling the elderly into buying them and illegally seeking huge profits.In this regard, the China Consumers Association reminds elderly consumers to improve their awareness of risk prevention and self-protection ability.

Drugs without an approval number are counterfeit. Don’t buy drugs through informal channels.

First, we should buy drugs through regular channels such as hospitals and pharmacies, and carefully check the approval number of drugs. Except for Chinese herbal medicines and Chinese herbal pieces that are not subject to examination and approval management, drugs listed in China shall be approved by the drug supervision and administration department of the State Council, and can be listed only after obtaining the drug registration certificate and approval number, so as to ensure the safety, effectiveness and quality controllability of drugs. Consumers should try to choose hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and other formal places (including e-commerce platforms) that hold the Drug Business License and Business License to buy drugs, and carefully check the approval number (national medicine quasi-font number) and expiration date of drugs. Consumers can make inquiries and verification on the website of National Medical Products Administration. Consumers should never buy drugs that have no approval number or can’t find the information of national medicine quasi-brand name on National Medical Products Administration website, so as to avoid being infringed by counterfeit drugs.

In May, 2021, Wenzhou Market Supervision Bureau of Zhejiang Province announced a typical case of "Iron Fist" action in the field of people’s livelihood in the city recently, one of which was "Longwan District Market Supervision Bureau investigated and dealt with Yang Mobin’s suspected case of producing and selling counterfeit drugs". On February 25th, 2021, law enforcement officers of Yongxing Institute of Longwan District Market Supervision Bureau inspected Yang Mobin’s residence according to the report clues, and found 8 bottles of "new gout specific medicine", and the outer packaging was marked with "Function indication: acute and chronic gout, this medicine has the effects of expelling wind and removing dampness, dispelling cold and relieving pain & HELIP; …” Words such as, in line with the definition of drug, but the product has not obtained the drug approval document. The above drugs were tested by Wenzhou Food and Drug Inspection Science Research Institute, and dexamethasone was detected. Yang Mobin’s act of selling the above-mentioned counterfeit drugs is suspected of violating the provisions of Article 141 of the Criminal Law, which constitutes the crime of selling counterfeit drugs. At present, the case has been transferred to Longwan Branch of Wenzhou Public Security Bureau for investigation according to law.

Foods with significant medical effects are likely to be illegally added with drugs.Products are harmful to health.

Food is not medicine, and it has no effect on treating diseases. For some "foods" that claim to be able to treat diseases, they are either false propaganda or drugs are probably illegally added. Long-term consumption of such "food" will bring great health risks to consumers.

Among the typical cases of the fourth batch of 2021 cases in the field of people’s livelihood investigated and dealt with by the General Administration of Market Supervision on August 24th, there was a case in which the Market Supervision Bureau of Jiyuan City, Henan Province investigated and dealt with Huang and others selling illegally added drugs and food. On July 5, 2021, Jiyuan Municipal Market Supervision Bureau received complaints from consumers, saying that the pollen yam tablet candy it bought in Huangmou had a very good hypoglycemic effect after taking it, but at the same time there were a series of adverse reactions. After inspection, glibenclamide was detected in the product. Glibenclamide is a prescription western medicine with obvious hypoglycemic effect. Because of the obvious side effects, long-term large-scale use will cause hypoglycemia and kidney disease, and even lead to death, so the drug can only be used by specific people and needs to be taken under the guidance of a doctor. The behavior of the parties concerned is suspected of violating the provisions of Article 38 of the Food Safety Law "No drugs shall be added to the food produced and operated" and the provisions of Article 144 of the Criminal Law, which constitutes toxic and harmful food in production and sales. At present, the case has been transferred to the public security organs.

"imperial doctor"The "magic medicine" is a false advertisement. Don’t lose your health in pursuit of it.

In order to obtain economic benefits, some unscrupulous operators publish false and illegal advertisements involving traditional Chinese medicine, and induce consumers to buy and use them through false or exaggerated curative effects. This behavior not only affects the healthy and orderly development of Chinese medicine, but also adversely affects the life, health and safety of consumers.

In the fifth batch of typical cases of investigating and handling "Tiequan" in 2021 people’s livelihood cases announced by the General Administration of Market Supervision on September 29, there was a case that "Qilihe District Market Supervision Bureau of Lanzhou City, Gansu Province investigated and dealt with the false advertising case published by Gansu Zhuoyuantang Internet Hospital Co., Ltd. according to law". On March 17, 2021, the Qilihe District Market Supervision Bureau conducted an on-site inspection of Meilin County Chinese Medicine Clinic of Gansu Zhuoyuantang Internet Hospital Co., Ltd. according to the clues reported, and found a large number of "Product Introduction — Ninger Formula, Product Introduction — The advertising materials of the product "Huofei Prescription" are printed with the words "ancient prescription and ancient method for collecting and processing drugs". After investigation, the company published "Lanzhou Zhuoyuantang Chinese Medicine Museum — — The article "Pioneer of online diagnosis and treatment" promotes "the annual number of medical visits is more than 100,000"; The first online consultation Internet hospital in Lanzhou — 　 — The article "Zhuoyuantang Chinese Medicine Hospital" promotes "specially invited Chinese medicine academicians, Chinese medicine masters and outstanding Chinese medicine experts inside and outside the province" and other contents. At the same time,The company’s customer service staff publicized "guarantee never to recur" to patients through online consultation; We use the secret recipe for more than 200 years ","the average cure rate is over 95% "and" to ensure that it will never recur; There are hundreds of thousands of rehabilitation cases and so on. The company’s advertising is inconsistent with the facts and seriously misleads the public. The above-mentioned behavior of the parties violates the relevant provisions of Articles 16 and 28 of the Advertising Law and is an illegal act of publishing false advertisements. Qilihe District Market Supervision Bureau imposed an administrative penalty of 800,000 yuan on the parties according to law.

　　Cctv newsBeijing Meteorological Observatory issued a blue warning signal for cold wave at 10: 10 on February 18, 2024.

　　Affected by cold air, it is expected that there will be cold wave weather in Beijing from the night of the 18th to the 20th, and the minimum temperature will drop by 8℃, and the minimum temperature in the plain will drop to around -5℃. From the evening of 18th to 19th, the gust can reach about 7, so please take precautions.

　　A few days ago, the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) voted to completely ban illegal wildlife trade, get rid of the bad habit of eating wild animals, and effectively protect people’s lives, health and safety.

　　This decision is obviously closely related to the COVID-19 epidemic. So, what is the relationship between Covid-19 transmission and wildlife?

　　Let’s sort out the recent related scientific research results.

　　On February 24th, a piece of news caught people’s attention. The National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) voted to pass a decision on completely banning illegal wildlife trade, getting rid of the bad habit of eating wild animals, and effectively protecting people’s lives, health and safety. A system of completely prohibiting the consumption of wild animals has been established. In violation of the existing laws and regulations, the punishment should be aggravated on the basis of the existing laws.

　　At present, under the situation that the whole country is playing chess and fighting against the COVID-19 epidemic, this decision is obviously closely related to the COVID-19 epidemic.

　　Bats may be the source of Covid-19.

　　Humans are no strangers to infectious diseases caused by coronavirus. The SARS coronavirus, which was prevalent in winter of 2002 to 2003, was confirmed to have originated from the natural host bat, passed through the intermediate host civet cats and then passed on to humans. MERS coronavirus discovered in 2012, namely Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, was also considered to have originated from natural host bats and spread to humans through intermediate host camels.

　　Since the winter of 2019, novel coronavirus, whose infection scale far exceeds that of SARS and MERS, has been transmitted to human beings through what channels?

　　Because of the lessons of SARS and MERS, scientists naturally set their sights on bats first.

　　Shi Zhengli’s team from Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences published a paper in the form of preprint on bioRxiv website on January 23rd, and this paper was published online by the top academic journal Nature on February 3rd. In this paper, the research team compared the novel coronavirus genome extracted from patients with severe pneumonia with the coronavirus gene sequence carried by a bat in the early laboratory, and found that the whole genome sequence of RaTG13 coronavirus in this bat was as consistent as 96.2% with novel coronavirus infected by human.

　　This means that the natural host of Wuhan novel coronavirus is probably a bat!

　　RaTG13, a virus closely related to bats, is the ancestral virus of novel coronavirus, which is derived from a coronavirus of China Jutoubat, which was discovered by Shi Zhengli’s team when sampling in Yunnan.

　　Moreover, novel coronavirus’s infection with humans needs to go through the pathway of ACE2 receptor. The similarity between the ACE2 receptor of China Jutous Bat and the human ACE2 receptor is consistent with the potential intermediate host other than other non-human primates. This shows that novel coronavirus, from bat virus to human infection, may not need an intermediate host, but can directly infect humans from bats.

　　In China, the hibernation period of bats is from December to late February. At first, people thought that the virus began to spread at the end of December last year, so the possibility of direct transmission from bats to people was ruled out. However, with more and more retrospective case studies, people found that novel coronavirus had been passed on to people as early as last November. Then, it is possible to pass it directly from bats to people.

　　For example, in a paper published on the website of ChinaXiv on February 21st, researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of China Academy of Sciences, South China Agricultural University and Beijing Brain Center excavated the source and transmission path of Covid-19 from genome data. The researchers collected 93 genome data of novel coronavirus from 12 countries in 4 continents. According to the genome calculation, Covid-19 has undergone two large-scale expansions, one of which was on December 8, 2019.

　　It is inferred that the virus began to spread from person to person at least in early December 2019 or even in late November. Obviously, the virus should be transmitted from animals to people before human transmission. In other words, Covid-19 will be transmitted from animal hosts to humans no later than November 2019.

　　Pangolin may be the intermediate host of Covid-19.

　　At present, the academic circles still accept the conclusion that Covid-19 originated from bats and bats are its natural hosts, but there is no conclusion as to whether Covid-19 directly passed from bats to humans.

　　Many of the early cases of Covid-19 were related to the South China Seafood Market in Wuhan, Hubei Province, where there were a lot of wildlife transactions. China Center for Disease Control and Prevention also reported that Covid-19 was detected in environmental samples obtained from this market. More than 10 years ago, a similar wildlife market has been proved to be related to the SARS outbreak in 2002-2003, so wild animals probably participated in the spread of Covid-19.

　　At present, many scientists are looking for intermediate hosts in Covid-19, among which pangolin is the most likely candidate animal for intermediate hosts in Covid-19.

　　Among the papers speculating that pangolin is an intermediate host, two papers are most worthy of attention at present.

　　On February 18th, Professor Guan Yi from the School of Medicine of Hong Kong University and Hu Yanling from Guangxi Medical University published a paper on bioRxiv, a pre-printed website of medical papers, saying that genome sequencing showed that coronavirus was found in Malay pangolins smuggled from Southeast Asia intercepted in Guangdong and Guangxi, and the similarity with Covid-19 was between 85.5% and 92.4%. The paper holds that the coronavirus pedigrees found in pangolin are very similar to those in Covid-19, and pangolin should be regarded as a possible intermediate host in Covid-19, and it should be forbidden to be sold in fresh markets to prevent the spread of zoonotic diseases.

　　It was South China Agricultural University that first proposed that Malayan pangolin was an intermediate host. On February 7th, South China Agricultural University announced this research result: Pangolin is a potential intermediate host in novel coronavirus. Researchers from South China Agricultural University, such as Shen Yongyi and Xiao Lihua, joined hands with Yang Ruifu, a researcher from the Academy of Military Medicine, and Chen Wu, a senior veterinarian from the Scientific Research Department of Guangzhou Zoo to tackle the problem. By analyzing the virus genome, they found that the virus strain isolated from pangolin was 99% similar to the virus strain currently infecting people, and the receptor binding domains of the two viruses were similar.

　　In the preprint of the paper published later, they claimed that pangolin coronavirus was highly related to Covid-19. In particular, the receptor binding domain of pangolin coronavirus S protein is almost the same as that of novel coronavirus in 2019, with only one amino acid difference.

　　The paper also puts forward important serological evidence, that is, the coronavirus antibody in pangolin’s peripheral blood can bind to Covid-19. Moreover, pangolin infected by virus shows pathological changes and clinical symptoms similar to those of human beings.

　　In this paper, the author also boldly infers that the comparison of existing genomes shows that novel coronavirus in 2019 may have originated from the recombination of pangolin coronavirus and bat coronavirus RaTG13.

　　The paper also said that if the wildlife trade is not effectively controlled, the newly discovered coronavirus may pose a continuous threat to public health.

　　Wild animals are virus reservoirs.

　　What changes did novel coronavirus go through before it was brought into Wuhan and broke out in the crowd?

　　According to the evidence that scientists are looking for now, it may have originated from bats and spread directly to humans; It may also originate from the recombination of bat coronavirus and pangolin coronavirus, and then spread to humans through pangolin.

　　But to be sure, this is not the first or the last virus transmitted from animals to humans. In just 20 years of this century, there have been three kinds of new coronavirus epidemics: SARS, MERS and novel coronavirus.

　　In fact, it is not only the SARS virus and Covid-19 that have caused great losses to our country that are closely related to wildlife. Wild animals are the natural hosts of many serious emerging diseases. Statistics show that at present, 70% of new infectious diseases come from wild animals.

　　For example, natural reservoir, a bat that attracts much attention, has more than 100 kinds of viruses. They can carry many deadly viruses that are very dangerous to people, such as Ebola virus, Marburg virus, SARS virus, MERS coronavirus, Hendra virus and Nipah virus, but they don’t get sick themselves. This may be related to bat’s unique "all-weather" immune system.

　　"We all live on the virus planet, and wild animals are the reservoirs of these viruses." Nathan Wolf, Ph.D. in immunology and infectious diseases at Harvard University, once said this in "The Virus Attacks: How to Deal with the Outbreak of the Next Epidemic".

　　In our country, people have the backward concept of "eat what you eat to make up for what you eat", and there is also the mentality of eating novelty. All kinds of game are served on the table, and all kinds of wildlife trade are repeatedly banned. These invisible dangerous viruses will mutate in various trading links of wild animals and break through the species barrier — — From animal infectious diseases to human infectious diseases. With the increase of population density, the continuous progress of urbanization and the continuous improvement of the convenience of the national transportation network, once the relevant epidemic situation occurs, it will easily turn into a huge disaster and cause huge losses.

　　Although the relevant law enforcement agencies in China have made a series of achievements in prohibiting illegal hunting, breeding, transportation, trading and smuggling of wild animals, due to the lack of ideas and weak market supervision, there are still chaos such as openly selling wild animals and their products, and illegal hunting, transportation and trading of wild animals for the purpose of eating. However, the current Criminal Law and the Wildlife Protection Law lack or are insufficient in provisions on the consumption of wild animals, and the scope and intensity of sanctions are very limited.

　　We expect that, after the passage of the relevant bills banning the consumption of wild animals in an all-round way and severely cracking down on illegal wildlife trading, we will strengthen law enforcement in order to safeguard public health safety and ecological safety legally and in compliance, and prevent the recurrence of epidemics such as SARS and novel coronavirus.

　　Respecting nature, adapting to nature and protecting nature, and making "protecting wild animals and guarding against cross-species transmission of viruses" become the idea of each of us, which is the lesson we should learn from this novel coronavirus epidemic.

What’s your first reaction when you mention Shijiazhuang?

Xibaipo, industrial city, drug capital, Zhengding County, Zhao Zhouqiao … Different people may give different answers.

In recent years, Shijiazhuang has a young, dynamic and energetic business card, which is being known by more and more people-"Rock Home Town Rock City".

"Zhuang" is burning and hi.

On the stage, Miserable Faith, the lead singer, shouted "Shijiazhuang", and the fans in the audience responded to "Rock and Roll" in unison, and repeated several times to push the atmosphere to a climax. This is the scene at the end of Hutuo Music Festival on October 15, 2023. Even though the lights have been extinguished, the audience still refuses to disperse. The author stood among tens of thousands of people, infected by this atmosphere, and shouted "Shijiazhuang!" "Rock and roll!"

Nearly a year later, this music festival, with an audience of 62,000 and foreign fans accounting for 70%, is still talked about by people.

Looking back on 2023, Shijiazhuang invited more than 130 famous rock bands to perform more than 100 rock music performances for the benefit of the people, attracting more than 1 million fans. Many large-scale music performances such as Shijiazhuang Original Music Festival, Hutuo Music Carnival and Hutuo Music Festival brought audio-visual feasts to fans.

In 2024, Shijiazhuang Rock will continue!

In front of long summer this year, the performance of "Passionate Summer Night" kicked off at the Wanli Temple Pedestrian Street in Shijiazhuang. "Friends of Shijiazhuang, are you ready?" "Ready!"

"I really look forward to it for a long time and feel very excited." Liu Yilin, a college student, said, "I have brushed a lot of videos of Shijiazhuang rock music performance season before, and I feel particularly burning and embarrassed. I finally came to the scene, and this impact is stronger."

"I love rock music! I love Shijiazhuang! " On May 4th, 2024 Shijiazhuang Original Music Festival kicked off in Shijiazhuang Industrial Heritage Park, and the Melody Band made a passionate debut, and the dynamic melody instantly mobilized the atmosphere of the audience. Xiaoyu band blended flute and guzheng into rock music, and the audience lamented that "rock music can still be played like this". Relativity Band and Hanggai band made their final appearance, which pushed the atmosphere to a climax. In this ruins park with the style of "Cyberpunk", rock lights up the night sky.

On the evening of August 3rd, the lights were colorful, the music was dynamic, the stage was gorgeous, and the fluorescence was flashing. The rock music performance "Between Mountains and Waters" was performed in the Fanpai Sports Park in Yuanshi County, Shijiazhuang, and the wharf French fries band and the shining band took turns to appear. The songs such as "Sudden Self", "Train Diary" and "Anti-war" triggered the chorus of the audience.

It’s more than that. In Xinle City, Jingxing County, Shijiazhuang, in characteristic commercial districts, summer beer gardens and commercial complexes, multi-point and continuous rock performances are on the scene. From the end of April to September this year, Shijiazhuang plans to organize 80 performances of "Passionate Summer Night" and "Weekend Lawn" in five districts of the city; From the end of April to October, 120 performances between mountains and rivers were organized in scenic spots, campsites, self-driving RV camps, county-level characteristic commercial streets and night economic gathering areas.

"Through three forms: weekend lawn, passionate summer night and mountains and rivers, Shijiazhuang has made rock music performances for the benefit of the people into open green spaces, parks, characteristic commercial blocks, commercial complexes and scenic spots, cultivated new cultural consumption formats, and further enriched people’s cultural life." Han Zhenmin, deputy director of Shijiazhuang Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Film and Tourism, introduced strawberry music festival and new youth rock music festival to unlock the new mode of "music+cultural travel" and expand the new experience of people’s cultural life.

Why Shijiazhuang?

"I got off work at 6 o’clock in the evening, changed my clothes in the pharmaceutical factory, my wife was cooking porridge, and I went to drink a few bottles of beer." "The high school attached to Hebei Normal University, the table tennis teenager turned his back on me, silently watched, and couldn’t leave the classroom."

Omnipotent youth society Band was born in Shijiazhuang, and its songs are also sung in Shijiazhuang. The narrative style and singing method make this song always have a high degree of singing.

When Shijiazhuang showed its "Rock Home Town" business card, it was also questioned: Why is Shijiazhuang a rock city?

From the perspective of development, Popular Songs, dubbed as "the first issue of Chinese rock", was born in Shijiazhuang in 1986, and since then, I love rock music was born here. Music critic Red Tide once said in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the publication of Popular Songs: The position of this pamphlet in the Chinese rock music scene is equivalent to the nine-year compulsory education of rock music, which has made great contributions to the enlightenment and popularization of rock music.

The rich rock soil has produced many famous rock musicians in Shijiazhuang. In addition, there are dozens of rock bands active in Shijiazhuang all the year round. Besides omnipotent youth society, Click#15 and Penicillin also have deep roots with Shijiazhuang.

"The audience in Shijiazhuang is very enthusiastic, and the rock atmosphere in this city is great!" Shao Zhuang, the lead singer of Relativity Band, is a native of Shijiazhuang and has been engaged in rock music for more than 20 years. He said: "Shijiazhuang is closely related to rock music, and many excellent bands have emerged here. Now Shijiazhuang is vigorously building a’ rock city’, and we musicians also very much hope to contribute to our hometown. "

The strong support of Shijiazhuang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government is also an important factor. In 2021, the work report of the municipal government proposed to create a new fashion of modern music with "Rock Home Town" as a unique brand. In the government work report of 2024, it was proposed that the IP of two major cities of "music" and "sports" should be continuously built, and the seven aspects of "people, music, teams, instruments, venues, meetings and standards" should be exerted, and music training, musical instrument rental and sales, theater performances and other formats should be concentrated in Heping East Road area; Invite internationally renowned bands to hold rock music season regularly and polish the brand of "Rock Home Town".

Not just rock and roll.

What has the Rock City brought to Shijiazhuang?

Show charm. Doing a good job in "Rock+"articles and deeply integrating catering, cultural tourism, shopping and other diversified formats, Shijiazhuang has planned and launched a series of measures to promote the integration and consumption of cultural tourism, such as subway delay, bus line, rock gift package and scenic spot discount. "The realization of rock elements all over the city, rock images can be seen everywhere, and the topic of rock is constantly hot, which has aroused widespread concern and deep resonance in the whole society." Zhang Hui, Party Secretary of Shijiazhuang Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Film and Tourism, said that it is necessary to create a strong atmosphere of Shijiazhuang’s "Rock Home Town" in China, highlight the brand concept, brand value and brand image of Shijiazhuang’s "Rock City", and make Shijiazhuang a charming city integrating music, entertainment, food and tourism.

Gather popularity. According to the data of "Rock Home Town" in 2023-"Rock City" in China, more than 100 music performances attracted more than 1 million people. During the performance season, the night passenger flow of more than 160 enterprises in Shijiazhuang increased significantly, and the night sales accounted for 33% of the whole day’s turnover, up 14% year-on-year.

From the Spring Festival to the May Day holiday, the tourist popularity of Shijiazhuang has steadily increased on the basis of the previous high level, and Zhengding Ancient City has become one of the popular attractions in China.

At the 2023 Hutuo Salon Music Festival Roundtable Dialogue on Industrial Development, experts attending the meeting believed that Shijiazhuang brought music into people’s lives, which not only stimulated the vitality of the city, but also promoted the development of cultural tourism, commerce and other industries.

Promote consumption. Listening to rock and roll, visiting ancient cities and enjoying beautiful scenery have become a must for many fans. "I watched the passionate rock music performance in the evening and came to Zhengding Ancient City to punch in during the day." Liu Xiaodong, a tourist from Guangxi, said that he came for a rock performance, but he didn’t want the local characteristic culture to be very attractive.

During the Strawberry Music Festival in Shijiazhuang and the concert tour in Angela Zhang this year, about 440,000 tourists from other places came to Shijiazhuang, which directly led to the consumption of transportation, accommodation, catering, tourism and shopping of about 240 million yuan.

"Rock T-shirts, rock badges and rock wenchuang ice cream are fans’ favorite’ three-piece sets’. We have designed more than 90 rock element cultural and creative products in 20 categories. " Zhai Kaikuang, general manager of Shijiazhuang Rock City Brand Management Co., Ltd. said that at present, they have set up fixed sales points in Shijiazhuang Liberation Memorial Hall and some hotels, and opened online sales.

Revitalize industries. With the goal of industrialization, the city plans to build Shijiazhuang "Town" series performance space cluster and promote the infrastructure construction of the music industry. We will gradually develop the Shigang Industrial Ruins Park and the Mian Yi Mian Er Lao Factory, and strive to create a music art space integrating exhibition, creation and performance around the industrial elements of "performance".

In addition to tangible results, rock and roll brings Shijiazhuang more promotion of city image and reputation. In the view of Zhang Fan, president of Midi Music School, Shijiazhuang created a new IP of the city by holding a rock music performance season, which enhanced the city’s popularity and reputation, and made a large number of fans come to Shijiazhuang to learn about Shijiazhuang, making the city more dynamic and passionate.

"The music festival with the theme of rock and roll attracted bands and music lovers from all over the country to participate, which enhanced the popularity and influence of Shijiazhuang and injected new vitality into urban development." Zhang Yawen, deputy general manager of Shijiazhuang Wenlv Investment Group Culture and Sports Company, said.

After beginning of autumn, the North China Plain is slightly autumn, but Shijiazhuang Rock is still online, with full firepower to build a "music" city IP, showing a new impression and new symbol of self-confidence, vitality and openness. Once an industrial city, with the help of this new business card of rock and roll, it is moving towards a modern, international and beautiful provincial capital city that is "proud of locals and yearned for by outsiders".

　　(This piece is made public voluntarily)

　　Beijing, August 29 (Xinhua) The Ministry of Commerce held a regular press conference today, and the spokesman Gao Feng responded to a number of hot issues in Sino-US economic and trade consultations. Gao Feng confirmed that the economic and trade teams of China and the United States have always maintained effective communication. In response to the US proposal to impose tariffs on US$ 550 billion of China’s goods exported to the United States and then raise the tax rate, Gao Feng said that China has sufficient countermeasures, but the trade war should be prevented from escalating under the current situation.

　　Profile photo: Gao Feng, spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce. Xia Bin

　　China resolutely opposes the escalation of Sino-US trade war.

　　A reporter asked that US President Trump said a few days ago that China is very welcome to reach a trade agreement and calmly handle differences. How do you comment on this?

　　Gao Feng said that China has made clear its attitude, resolutely opposed the escalation of the trade war, and is willing to solve the problem through consultation and cooperation in a calm manner. "The escalation of the trade war is not conducive to China, not conducive to the United States, and not conducive to the interests of people all over the world."

　　The economic and trade teams of China and the United States have indeed maintained effective communication.

　　Recently, it was said that China called American economic and trade negotiators to negotiate or reach an agreement. In this regard, Gao Feng, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce, said that the economic and trade teams of the two sides have indeed maintained effective communication. There is no more information about the details at present.

　　Gao Feng said that there are many rumors at present, and the Ministry of Commerce will clarify the facts and let everyone know the truth in the economic and trade field.

　　China has sufficient countermeasures, but it should prevent the trade war from escalating.

　　A reporter asked whether China intends to take corresponding countermeasures against the US proposal to impose tariffs on US$ 550 billion of goods exported from China and then raise the tax rate.

　　Gao Feng said that China’s countermeasures are sufficient. However, in the current situation, China believes that the issue that should be discussed is to cancel further tariffs on 550 billion US dollars of China goods to prevent the trade war from escalating.

　　Gao Feng stressed that "the escalation of the trade war is not conducive to China, the United States, and the interests of people all over the world, and may even bring disastrous consequences to the world."

　　China has the ability to ensure the good momentum of the fundamentals of economic development.

　　In response to the question "Will the escalating trade war have a serious impact on China’s economy", Gao Feng said that China’s economy is changing from high-speed growth to high-quality development, and the trend of transforming old and new kinetic energy is constantly strengthening. China has a dynamic micro-foundation, a huge room for maneuver and sufficient macro-policy tools, and is fully confident and capable of ensuring a good momentum of economic development fundamentals.

　　Responding to the question "China Economic and Trade Delegation to the United States for Consultation in September"

　　In response to the question "About China’s economic and trade delegation going to the United States for consultation in September", Gao Feng said that the economic and trade teams of China and the United States have maintained effective communication and are discussing the issue of China’s economic and trade delegation going to the United States for consultation in September. At present, the most important thing is to create the necessary conditions for the two sides to continue consultations. If there is any further information, the Ministry of Commerce will release it in time.

　　American manufacturing enterprises move out of China? Ministry of Commerce responded

　　Some media asked, US President Trump recently asked American companies to move manufacturing from Beijing back to China or to other places. What is the response of the Ministry of Commerce?

　　In this regard, Gao Feng pointed out that China and the United States are important trading partners and sources of investment, and the interests of both sides are deeply integrated, which has formed a pattern of "you have me and I have you". The economic ties between China and the United States cannot be cut off by anyone who wants to. If someone tries to decouple the two countries’ economies by force, the result will inevitably harm others and themselves, which will not only seriously harm the interests of American enterprises and people, but also threaten the security of global industrial chain supply chain, international trade and the world economy.

　　Gao Feng said that people from all walks of life in the United States have expressed their opposition to the above remarks. The essence of Sino-US economic and trade relations is mutual benefit and win-win. The two sides are not rivals of zero-sum game, but should be mutually beneficial partners. China welcomes enterprises from all over the world, including the United States, to invest and operate in China and will continue to create a good business environment.

　　Will soybeans become the main tool to counter the United States?

　　A reporter asked, last Friday, China listed soybeans as one of the targets of imposing tariffs on the United States and Canada. Will soybeans and other agricultural products continue to be the main tools for China to counter the United States? Will you worry about the impact on China’s soybean industry? Last Friday, China announced that it would resume imposing tariffs on cars and parts produced in the United States. European car companies produced in the United States, such as Mercedes-Benz, may be affected. Will China consider providing tariff exemptions for these European car companies, such as Germany, which are produced in the United States?

　　In this regard, Gao Feng said that last Friday, China listed some goods imported from the United States as the target of tariff increase again, which was a necessary counter-measure that China had to take. It is hoped that the United States will cancel the new tariff increase measures and avoid further escalation of the trade war. The issue of tariff exclusion will be arranged by the State Council Customs Tariff Commission in a unified way. If there is any further information, it will be released in time.

　　It will be American companies that will eventually be damaged by suppressing China enterprises.

　　Some media have asked questions. Recently, the US Department of Commerce has received more than 130 applications for licenses to sell products to Huawei, but the Trump administration has not issued any licenses. What is the comment of the China Department of Commerce?

　　Gao Feng said that China has noticed relevant reports, which shows that in many fields, Chinese and American enterprises have formed an interdependent relationship in the industrial chain. If China enterprises are suppressed, American enterprises will eventually suffer. It is hoped that the United States will, based on the interests of its own enterprises and the safety of the global industrial chain and supply chain, cancel the suppression and sanctions against China enterprises such as Huawei as soon as possible.

　　The trade war should be prevented from escalating under the current situation.

　　Reporter’s question, the spokesman, you just answered the question about Trump’s new tariffs on China’s 550 billion products. You said that China has sufficient tools to counter them, but now China feels that the more important issue is to discuss the cancellation of these tariffs. Does this mean that China will not counter Trump’s new tariffs? Why change this strategy now, because China will take countermeasures against all new tariffs imposed by the United States before?

　　Gao Feng pointed out that I have responded very clearly just now, and China’s countermeasures are sufficient. However, in the current situation, China believes that the issue that should be discussed is to cancel further tariffs on 550 billion US dollars of China goods to prevent the trade war from escalating. At present, China is making solemn representations with the US.

　　The Sino-US trade war has reached the point where it has to be fought? Ministry of Commerce responded

　　A reporter asked, recently, the United States has been escalating its economic and trade frictions with China. Has the Sino-US trade war reached the point where it has to be fought?

　　In this regard, Gao Feng said that China resolutely opposes the escalation of the trade war. Starting from the overall situation of China and the United States and the whole world, China is willing to solve the problem through consultation and cooperation with a calm attitude. It is hoped that the United States and China will move in the opposite direction and promote the proper settlement of Sino-US economic and trade issues on the basis of equality and mutual respect.

　　In 2023, frequent extreme weather and climate events once again left a deep impression on people. In China, sandstorms in the northwest, droughts in the southwest, extreme rainstorms in North China and typhoons in South China have all brought rare disasters in recent years. On a global scale, forest fires in Canada, alternating droughts and floods in the United States and India, high temperatures in Europe, and heavy casualties caused by hurricanes in the Mediterranean have also caused shocking consequences.

　　Reality warns people that the negative consequences of climate change are increasing with the rising temperature. At the end of November this year, world leaders will gather in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to attend the 28th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28). People hope that this meeting will achieve more results and create more favorable conditions for the global response to climate change. We should not only pay attention to the set ultimate goal, but also find feasible paths and effective ways to promote it.

　　On December 12, 2015, in order to cope with the increasingly serious climate change problem, nearly 200 parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change unanimously agreed to adopt TheParis Agreement at the Paris Climate Change Conference to make arrangements for global action to deal with climate change after 2020. At this year’s COP28 conference, all parties will conduct the first global inventory since the Paris Agreement.

　　On September 8th, the report on the inventory results released by the United Nations showed the progress made since the Paris Summit in 2015, and pointed out that compared with the prediction made in 2010 that the global temperature would rise by 3.7-4.8 degrees Celsius by the end of this century, the predicted temperature rise is now 2.4-2.6 degrees Celsius, but it still far exceeds the goal of controlling the temperature at 2 degrees Celsius and trying to control it within 1.5 degrees Celsius.

　　At the same time, the report clearly pointed out that all parties need to respond to climate change in an all-round way with higher ambition and a stronger sense of urgency. At present, global greenhouse gas emissions are still increasing, and to achieve the above goals, global greenhouse gas emissions need to be reduced by 43% compared with 2019 levels by 2030 and 60% by 2035.

　　On the occasion of the upcoming global climate conference, The Paper’s Critical Point combed the climate commitment actions of some major countries in the world. In response to climate change, our window of time and opportunity is shrinking rapidly.

　　United States of America

　　It has been six months since the United States resumed its contribution to the United Nations Green Climate Fund (GCF) and allocated a new $1 billion. Rich countries, including the United States, have not yet fulfilled their climate funding commitments, and developing countries are facing the fact that the speed at which funds are put in place is far behind the increasingly severe extreme weather and climate events.

　　According to British media reports, on October 21 this year, the negotiations on implementing the "loss and damage fund" first proposed at last year’s UN Climate Conference to help countries with fragile climate rebuild their homes reached an impasse. The United States and the European Union proposed that the World Bank should host the fund. However, questa, Chairman of the Group of 77, believes that the effectiveness of the World Bank’s decision-making is difficult to cope with the climate crisis. In addition, if the fund must operate within the legal structure of the World Bank, the wider sources of funds may be limited.

　　Not only is the operation of funds stagnant, but the amount of funds raised at present is still insufficient for the reconstruction of countries with fragile climate. According to American media reports on October 6, at the donor conference held in Bonn, Germany, developed countries promised to provide 9.3 billion US dollars to supplement green climate funds. However, NGOs believe that these funds are not enough to help countries with fragile climate to cope with climate change. It is worth noting that the United States is one of the few developed countries that have not provided new funds.

　　Nine years ago, the United States promised to provide $3 billion to the Green Climate Fund, but so far it has only injected $2 billion. Of the $11.4 billion pledged by US President Biden to developing countries, the country’s Congress only approved $1 billion. In fact, as early as the 15th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP15) held in Copenhagen in 2009, the United States and other rich countries promised to raise 100 billion dollars annually for climate action in developing countries by 2020. This goal was reaffirmed at COP21 in Paris and extended to 2025. According to reports, the current funding gap is as high as $17 billion per year.

　　Fossil fuel subsidies are still soaring, despite the delays in climate finance in rich countries. According to the global regulatory organization Energy Policy Tracker, the public funds flowing to fossil fuels in G20 countries will reach a record $1.4 trillion, more than double the amount before the COVID-19 outbreak in 2019.

　　Restricted by domestic social contradictions and inflation, it is difficult to cancel fossil fuel subsidies in the United States. In the United States, the Supreme Court, which has been dominated by the Republican Party for a long time, keeps opening the floodgates of money politics for the wealthy class. The accumulated polarization between the rich and the poor has laid the groundwork for the social phenomenon that high oil prices are often accompanied by a decline in the support rate of presidential polls. On the other hand, unlike other countries, subsidies in the United States are mainly tax relief for fossil fuel companies, that is, by providing credit and expense deduction to energy producers to reduce production costs.

　　Saudi Arabia

　　Under the pressure of decarbonization, Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest crude oil exporter, launched a comprehensive action to deal with climate change and reduce carbon emissions in 2021 to reduce domestic carbon emissions, including achieving "net zero" greenhouse gas emissions by 2060, planting 50 billion trees in the Middle East in the next few decades, and launching a $10.4 billion clean energy project for the region.

　　However, according to the Financial Times reported on July 23rd, several countries, led by Saudi Arabia, tried their best to stop G20′ s call to reduce the use of fossil fuels. At the same time, Reuters reported that Saudi Arabia and other countries opposed G20′ s proposal to triple renewable energy production capacity by 2030. Saudi Aramco announced in 2021 that it plans to increase crude oil production from 12 million barrels per day to 13 million barrels per day by 2027. According to Agence France-Presse, the total profit announced by Saudi Aramco in 2022 reached a record $161.1 billion.

　　Reduce the burning of fossil fuels at home, so that Saudi Arabia can free up more oil to sell abroad. In this regard, Saudi Arabia attempts to explain the rationality of this contradiction by implementing the "circular carbon economy" plan, which envisages continuing to exploit fossil fuels and adopting new technologies to capture, store or sell carbon emissions. At the same time, according to media reports, Saudi Arabia and other traditional fossil energy countries believe that it is unrealistic to tighten the "faucet" of fossil fuels immediately, and hydrocarbons such as oil, natural gas and coal will continue to become an important part of the global energy structure in the next few decades.

　　Saudi Arabia regards tackling climate change as a long challenge, but the International Energy Agency (IEA) released a report in May 2021, saying that if the world wants to achieve zero carbon emissions by 2050, governments and enterprises of all countries must immediately stop investing in new oil and gas projects. The unresolved issue is also the "carbon capture" technology promoted by Saudi Arabia — — The effectiveness of this technology has not been proved, and the cost of applying it to large-scale mining is too high.

　　"It is believed that the economy based on the exploitation and combustion of fossil fuels can be ‘ Loop ’ The idea is absurd, and the only way it works is to rely on technologies that don’t exist yet. " Matthew Archer, a researcher at the Geneva Institute, said in an interview with the media, "These measures … are full of ambitious and ambiguous language, with few specific plans and no accountability mechanism."

　　Japan

　　Coincidentally, Japan’s climate solution is also questioned. According to local media reports, on September 29th, Japan hosted the 3rd International Fuel Ammonia Conference, which focused on the theme of decarbonization of supply chain and shipping industry. This meeting is a sign of Japan’s commitment to a climate solution, but some experts believe that the solution may not meet the world timetable that urgently needs to reduce carbon emissions.

　　Consistent with all countries, Japan urgently needs to decarbonize the energy sector. At present, Japan plans to reduce the energy share of coal to 19% by 2030. At the meeting, the government and major industries described the vision of using ammonia (a gas composed of nitrogen and hydrogen) on a large scale in the foreseeable future, that is, reducing carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants by replacing fossil fuels with ammonia. Because ammonia combustion will not emit carbon dioxide, and the co-combustion equipment of existing coal-fired power plants in Japan does not need major transformation.

　　From a technical point of view, it seems feasible to burn ammonia to generate electricity. "Japan Times" reported on October 22nd that JERA, Japan’s largest power company, is testing the 20:80 ammonia-coal co-combustion ratio at Binan Thermal Power Station in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. It is reported that JERA’s goal is to gradually increase the proportion of ammonia-coal mixed combustion and realize 100% ammonia combustion by 2050.

　　However, with the government and enterprises eager to establish an ammonia fuel supply chain on a global scale, experts began to question the feasibility of ammonia as a decarbonization solution in Japan. Although ammonia will not emit carbon dioxide when it is fully burned, fossil fuel is an essential raw material for ammonia production.

　　In this regard, many Japanese power companies, including Mitsui & Co., Ltd., are exploring a new mode of ammonia production, that is, using fossil fuels to produce ammonia, and at the same time capturing 80%-90% of carbon emissions through CCS technology. Considering the high price and poor performance of CCS technology at present, some ongoing ammonia synthesis projects focus on developing technologies to produce ammonia through renewable energy. However, Motoichi Kato, deputy secretary-general of Japan Clean Fuel Ammonia Association (CFAA), told the media that all ammonia imported from Japan is still produced by traditional production methods, and the new ammonia production technology has not yet covered the whole world.

　　In addition to concerns about carbon emissions caused by ammonia production procedures, experts also said that producing such a large amount of ammonia may pollute the air and water quality. According to the Japan Times, Japan is expected to need 3 million tons of ammonia by 2030 and 30 million tons by 2050. Climate Integrate, an independent climate policy think tank in Japan, warned that fixing nitrogen from the atmosphere to produce ammonia may further disrupt the balance of the global nitrogen cycle. In addition, the increase of nitrogen will lead to eutrophication of marine ecosystem, as well as air pollution and groundwater pollution.

　　South Korea

　　Compared with the above countries, South Korea has not performed well in dealing with climate change in recent years. According to the report updated by Climate Action Tracker on July 17, 2023, the overall rating of South Korea’s actions to deal with climate change is classified as "seriously inadequate". Furthermore, South Korea’s climate policy and energy sector planning still lack the necessary speed and rigor, and can not embark on the road that conforms to the temperature limit of 1.5°C in the Paris Agreement.

　　After the change of government in South Korea in 2022, the country’s climate policy changed, deviating from the 100% renewable energy target previously set by the government. The new president Yin Xiyue publicly stated that the target was "too expensive". According to media reports, on March 21st this year, South Korea announced that it would lower the greenhouse gas emission target of the industrial sector in 2030. According to the plan, the Korean industrial sector is required to reduce carbon emissions by 11.4% compared with 2018 levels by 2030, while the emission reduction target set by the end of 2021 is 14.5%.

　　According to the plan, the carbon emission gap caused by the adjustment will be made up by increasing emission reduction overseas and replacing traditional energy with more renewable energy. However, given that South Korea has reneged on its climate commitments, the way to make up for the plan is still in doubt. According to the Climate Action Tracking Agency, in April 2021, South Korea announced at the leaders’ climate summit hosted by the United States that it would immediately stop providing financing for overseas coal projects. Just one month later, it announced the exception of renovation and approval of related projects.

　　On the other hand, Yin Xiyue decided to revive the nuclear power plan, overturning the previous president’s reform of phasing out nuclear power. It is reported that the Korean government promulgated the tenth power plan in January 2023, aiming at using nuclear energy to realize national decarbonization. Contrary to the original goal of limiting the proportion of nuclear energy to 30% by 2030, the latest goal is to increase the proportion of nuclear energy use to 34.6%.

　　In January 2012, South Korea promulgated the Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard (RPS). According to the International Energy Agency, the plan aims to expand the use of renewable energy and make it a promising market competitor. To this end, the 13 largest Korean power companies are required to increase the use of renewable energy to 14.5% and 17% in 2023 and 2024 respectively, and to reach 25% after 2026. However, according to Yonhap News Agency’s report on January 13th, 2023, the South Korean government lowered the RPS target for this year and next to 13% and 13.5% respectively, and the final goal was postponed until after 2030.

　　Canada

　　Countries that have failed to say what they must do in climate action include Canada. According to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), since 1990, the country has formulated nine climate plans, but failed to achieve the goals.

　　Even though Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau released a comprehensive emission reduction plan for 2030 on March 29th, 2022, listing a series of actions that the country will take to reduce climate pollution to 40% to 45% lower than the 2005 level by the end of this century, the plan still has many defects.

　　For example, the plan does not provide enough funds to help automobile suppliers increase the sales of electric vehicles according to the government’s goals. Secondly, there are criticisms that the goal is to reduce the climate pollution of the energy industry without limiting production, which will require fossil fuel companies to make great improvements in carbon capture technology.

　　In addition, a report on April 24th said that a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showed that the Canadian government and enterprises seriously underestimated the current domestic carbon emissions.

　　Britain

　　Backward climate action may also affect the activity of other countries in the field of climate governance. According to media reports on September 20th, British Prime Minister Sunak may dilute Britain’s plan to deal with climate change, including postponing the ban on the sale of new gasoline and diesel vehicles originally scheduled to take effect in 2030, greatly weakening the plan to phase out gas boilers by 2035, and not updating the energy efficiency regulations for housing construction.

　　Sunak said that he is still committed to the legally binding goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050. At the same time, he also said that Britain can slow down its progress in achieving this goal because Britain is "far ahead of all other countries in the world." However, considering the national election in 2024, Reuters in the United Kingdom believes that Sunak leaked the news of reducing the green policy in order to gain the support of voters who are troubled by high inflation and stagnant economic growth.

　　Britain is the first country to set a legally binding "net zero" goal in 2050. Since 1990, with the closure of coal-fired power plants and the rise of offshore wind power, the country’s carbon emissions have dropped by nearly 50%. However, according to media reports on September 21st, the British government’s independent climate adviser said that Britain still has some shortcomings in achieving its climate goals, and diluting its plan to deal with climate change may further weaken its ability to fulfill its legal commitments.
