South China University of Technology transforms scientific research achievements into visible productivity-

  After the annual turnover increased by four times, Guangdong Jiaying Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. tasted the "sweetness" of scientific research and development. Thanks to the scientific research achievements of Su Jianyu, a science and technology correspondent and professor of South China University of Technology, Jiaying Pharmaceutical has not only become bigger and stronger as a "fist product" of the company, but also intensively forged a "sharp knife product"-a gold medal double throat powder. Relying on the advantages of South China Institute of Technology in scientific research and development, transformation of achievements, etc., Su Jianyu’s team, together with Jiaying Pharmaceutical, established Guangdong Huaqingyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and took the technical achievements of school experts as a share. By the end of 2022, Huaqing Garden had benefited more than 3,000 plum tree growers in Meizhou and surrounding cities and counties, and the accumulated industrial output value exceeded 500 million yuan.

  How can colleges and universities give better play to the agglomeration effect of education, science and technology and talents, and jointly promote the multiplication effect of high-quality development with the region? South China University of Technology adheres to the concept of "integration into development and promotion of development", with science and technology commissioners and technical cooperation between schools and enterprises as the "point", leading enterprises in the industry deeply cooperating to build school-enterprise R&D institutions as the "line", five research institutes of the school and the platform of the National University Science Park as the "surface", creating a scientific research service system combining "point, line and surface" and an innovative system of technology transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements, which has set up the upgrading and development of enterprises, industries and regions.

  Docking with "points" to help enterprises plant "cash cows"

  Industrial robots are known as "the jewel in the crown of manufacturing". However, it turns out that the core technologies such as motion control and calibration of domestic industrial robots are subject to people. How to realize the self-control of core technology? Zhang Tie, a professor from the School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering of South China University of Technology, joined hands with guangzhou cnc Equipment Co., Ltd. to take the lead in developing domestic industrial robots in China and realize industrialization.

  As an established engineering university, South China Institute of Technology has been insisting on serving enterprises for many years. In recent years, the school has strengthened the "point" docking between schools and enterprises, and selected science and technology commissioners and student assistants of commissioners according to the needs of enterprises. They have sent scientific research achievements and talents to research and develop new products, solve production problems and strengthen the independent research and development system.

  "Our team and guangzhou cnc have been working closely together for 17 years. Behind this is that the school encourages teachers with a number of measures to turn scientific research results into the productivity of enterprises. " Zhang Tie introduced that the school treats horizontal and vertical projects equally when evaluating professional titles. The "policy dividend" has stimulated the enthusiasm of science and technology commissioners to serve enterprises.

  "Our school has opened a promotion channel for achievement transformation personnel, added a series of engineering and achievement promotion, and relaxed the evaluation criteria for scientific research personnel who serve as enterprise science and technology commissioners and engage in achievement transformation in various demonstration areas of the school. At the same time, our school has transformed the performance of scientific and technological achievements obtained by scientific and technological personnel in enterprises into the evaluation system of scientific and technological personnel in schools. " Zhang Xichun, secretary of the Party Committee of South China University of Technology, said that the school also used "real money and silver" to positively motivate science and technology commissioners and increase the income of scientific researchers. The school specially formulated the "Ten Articles of South China University of Technology" to promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements and innovation and entrepreneurship, and clearly rewarded 70% to 95% of the results transformation income to researchers at one time.

  By the end of 2022, South China Institute of Technology had sent over 1,600 enterprise science and technology commissioners and nearly 10,000 student assistants. They stationed in more than 1,000 enterprises in 21 cities in Guangdong, which directly or indirectly generated more than 10 billion yuan in economic benefits.

  In the past five years, South China Institute of Technology has also cooperated with 60 small and medium-sized enterprises in Qingyuan and Heyuan, Guangdong Province, and undertaken more than 400 cooperation projects in Industry-University-Research, training about 5,000 rural grassroots technicians and farmers, benefiting about 120,000 farmers through radiation, and indirectly increasing the output value of rural industries by several billion yuan. The team of 20 rural science and technology commissioners went deep into the grassroots and towns to help the high-quality development of agricultural products processing, agricultural tourism and other industries.

  Connect "points" into "lines" to accurately meet the innovation needs of leading enterprises

  If a large customer suddenly adjusts the product demand and the production line lacks flexible manufacturing enterprises, it is likely that there will be overcapacity. How to quickly adapt to the new trend of diversified, fast-paced and customized product production?

  With the help of Wei Wu, a professor of South China University of Technology, Guangzhou Institute of Construction and Research has built a flexible production line for inorganic artificial stone, which can produce artificial stone plates in various varieties, small and medium batches, with an annual output value of over 100 million yuan. The second production line has been put into construction because of its high efficiency.

  Flexible manufacturing is a high-tech industry with high R&D investment, and it is generally difficult for a single flexible manufacturing enterprise to undertake R&D investment alone. In order to better break through the common key technical problems that restrict industrial development, South China Institute of Technology has joined more than 80 units including well-known enterprises, scientific research institutions and universities to jointly build Guangdong Flexible Manufacturing Industry Technology Innovation Alliance, and strengthen technical cooperation, project cooperation and information sharing. Enterprises in the school alliance, relying on technological advantages, carry out first demonstration, and drive more manufacturing enterprises in Guangdong to carry out flexible manufacturing transformation.

  Based on the layout of key industries in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, South China University of Technology aims at the new generation of information technology, biology and health, focusing on leading enterprises in the industry, strengthening market orientation, and relying on "college+research institute+R&D center+industry alliance", accelerating the connection from "point" to "line". The "line" system of technological innovation combined with Industry-University-Research has improved the breadth and validity of the transformation and promotion of scientific and technological achievements in schools.

  How can talents, disciplines and enterprises’ advantages in engineering research and development work together? South China Institute of Technology "hands in hand" Midea Group to build an innovative carrier. A number of joint laboratories, such as the Joint Innovation Center for Environment, Energy and Health Technology, have produced a number of top-notch applied technological achievements according to the innovation needs of enterprises, and promoted the innovation and development in the field of smart home appliances.

  "Our school gives full play to its geographical advantages in the hinterland of Greater Bay Area, takes the initiative to attack, actively connects with leading enterprises in many industries such as Guangzhou Automobile and Midea, forms a number of provincial and municipal Industry-University-Research innovation alliances, and carries out Industry-University-Research cooperation in depth." Zhang Liqun, academician of China Academy of Engineering and president of South China Institute of Technology, said that the school has integrated the upstream and downstream resources of the industry by strengthening measures such as overall arrangement, project guidance and support, and local support. These "combination boxing" not only promoted the research and development and application of new technologies, new products and new processes, but also promoted the series connection of innovation chain in related industries.

  In order to promote the supply of science and technology to accurately meet the needs of the industry, South China Institute of Technology has strengthened financial support, set up special funds for the transformation of basic scientific research business expenses in central universities, instigated leading enterprises in the industry to invest more Industry-University-Research cooperation resources, and jointly tackled a large number of innovative technological achievements by schools and enterprises. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, South China University of Technology has signed strategic cooperation agreements with hundreds of leading enterprises such as Midea and Lenovo, and built nearly 200 joint laboratories between schools and enterprises, with a total R&D expenditure of nearly 600 million yuan. The school has undertaken nearly 16,000 projects entrusted by enterprises, with a total fund exceeding 10 billion yuan.

  In May, 2020, South China University of Technology signed the patent technology of "Plasticizing and Transportation Method and Equipment of Polymer Materials Based on Tensile Rheology" at a price of over 20 million yuan. This technology has been widely popularized in northwest China, which is helpful to solve the problems of "white pollution" of plastic film in Xinjiang.

  In recent years, South China University of Technology has made patent transformation "blood" smooth, and turned patents in teachers’ hands into enterprise development dividends. The school encourages scientific research teams and leading enterprises in the industry to jointly apply for patents, establish a stable, long-term and win-win cooperation model in Industry-University-Research, and assist leading enterprises to build a patent pool for intellectual property protection. Since 2009, South China University of Technology has won 50 awards as the first patentee.

  Take "Line" with "Face" as a catalyst to promote national and regional innovation and development.

  How to reduce the number of waiting times of vehicles during driving? As an "intelligent brain", Kanganda traffic signal coordination control system integrates the traffic volume and historical operation data of surrounding roads to optimize and coordinate the traffic signal instruction period of each intersection. The system is now "showing its talents" at intersections in more than 3,000 cities in China to alleviate traffic congestion.

  Kang ‘anda traffic signal coordination control system is developed by South China University of Technology Modern Traffic Engineering Technology Research and Development Center, which can help pedestrians and vehicles at the intersection, shorten the average journey and delay time by about 25% and 30% respectively, reduce the number of stops by about 60%, and reduce the pollutant emission by 4,390 tons annually.

  Modern traffic engineering technology research and development center is one of the eight research and development centers laid out by Guangzhou Institute of Modern Industrial Technology of South China University of Technology. In recent years, South China University of Technology has actively integrated into the overall innovation system of Greater Bay Area, and jointly built a large-scale innovation platform, so as to bring "surface" with "line" and realize the radiation of "surface". The school and Guangzhou, Dongguan, Foshan and other local governments have jointly established Guangzhou Modern Industrial Technology Research Institute and Sino-Singapore International Joint Research Institute, forming a transformation model of the achievements of the "five institutes and one park" innovation and entrepreneurship demonstration zone. "Five Institutes and One Park" undertakes the school’s innovation achievements, conducts industrialization research in local areas, promotes transformation and incubation, and acts as a catalyst to promote national and regional innovation and development.

  Among them, Guangzhou Institute of Industry and Research has directly attracted more than 500 million yuan of venture capital, incubating more than 60 enterprises. In the past five years, the revenue of incubating enterprises has exceeded 660 million yuan, and 22 provincial-level high-tech products have been cultivated. Many entrepreneurial projects have won the gold medal in the "internet plus" national competition. 

  Guangzhou Institute of Production and Research and other "five institutes" strengthen the integration of production and education, and focus on comprehensive technology transfer services such as technology research and development, pilot production, enterprise incubation and talent cultivation. National University Science Park of South China University of Technology, as a "one park", introduces mature technological achievements, establishes enterprises at a fixed price, and accelerates the incubation and transformation of scientific research achievements. The park also set up a special fund for the transformation of achievements, and invested in the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in schools to accelerate the growth of enterprises.

  In order to connect innovation chain, industrial chain and capital chain, South China University of Technology has also introduced local government investment funds, talents introduction projects and other resources, and accelerated the construction of a chain-type transformation system of scientific and technological achievements based on the "five institutes and one park" of the school.

  Relying on the technical achievement of South China University of Technology "High Performance Ultra-thin Asphalt Pavement Wear Layer Technology", Huayun Tongda Technology Group Co., Ltd. was founded and settled in Shunde Innovation Park of South China University of Technology Science Park. The company independently developed the technology of high toughness and ultra-thin asphalt wear layer. This "black technology" not only helped speed up the construction and improve efficiency, but also greatly improved the smoothness of the original pavement. Compared with traditional technology, this technology can help save 60% of raw materials and 65% of labor. The technical system has been used in more than 100 important projects such as artificial island passage of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. In the second year, the company’s revenue exceeded 100 million yuan, and in the third year, it was awarded the national-level "Little Giant" enterprise.

  In recent years, South China Institute of Technology’s "Five Institutes and One Park" has attracted over 1 billion yuan of investment, incubating 370 high-tech enterprises, including one listed on the New Third Board, one state-level "Little Giant" enterprise specializing in special innovation, five state-level "Little Giant" enterprises specializing in special innovation and 60 high-tech enterprises.

Opinions of the Ministry of Finance and Environmental Protection on Supporting the Reform of Environmental Monitoring System

On November 2, 2015, Cai Jian [2015] No.985

The finance departments (bureaus) and environmental protection departments (bureaus) of all provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government and cities under separate state planning:

  Environmental monitoring is the foundation of ecological environmental protection and the important support of ecological civilization construction. In recent years, financial and environmental protection departments at all levels have effectively increased their financial input and actively carried out their work, initially established a national environmental monitoring network, launched a pilot project of collecting air directly from the national monitoring station, released real-time air quality monitoring data to the public in cities above the prefecture level, and significantly enhanced their environmental monitoring capabilities. In some places, pilot explorations such as third-party custody operations have been carried out, and positive results have been achieved. However, the problems existing in China’s current environmental monitoring work are also prominent. The central and local environmental monitoring powers have not been completely straightened out, and the phenomenon of local administrative intervention in monitoring data still exists. The responsibility of enterprise environmental monitoring report has not been fully implemented, and the base of enterprise sewage discharge is unclear. Protecting the people’s right to know about the environment is the basic duty of the government. Under the new situation, comprehensively promoting the construction of ecological civilization also urgently requires speeding up the rationalization of environmental monitoring rights among governments at all levels and deepening the reform of the environmental monitoring system. After being approved by the leaders of the State Council, the following reform implementation opinions are put forward:

  First, the overall requirements, objectives and basic principles of financial support monitoring system reform

  (1) General requirements.

  Thoroughly implement the spirit of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the 3rd, 4th and 5th Plenary Sessions of the 18th Central Committee, implement the State Council’s Plan for the Construction of Ecological Environmental Monitoring Network (Guo Ban Fa [2015] No.56), straighten out the national environmental monitoring management system, accelerate the reform of the environmental monitoring system, and the central government assumes the power of monitoring important regional and cross-border environmental quality, forming a national direct environmental monitoring network in the aspects of atmosphere, water and soil; Each province undertakes environmental quality monitoring within its jurisdiction, and strengthens the supervisory monitoring of pollution source emissions and strengthens environmental supervision and law enforcement; Implement the main responsibility of enterprises, strictly implement the self-monitoring and reporting system of pollution discharge, thus establishing an environmental monitoring system with clear boundaries between central, local and enterprise responsibilities, providing accurate and authoritative data support for environmental assessment of governments at all levels, and consolidating the foundation of ecological civilization construction.

  (2) Work objectives.

  By 2018, the collection of national monitoring stations and national control sections will be completed in an all-round way, and the monitoring network of atmospheric, water and soil environmental quality directly under the state will be established and improved; The environmental quality monitoring system in the province has been effectively established, and the monitoring data controlled by the state are mutually verified and interconnected; The market-oriented reform of environmental monitoring has been deepened, the third-party trusteeship operation mechanism has been widely implemented, the efficiency of environmental monitoring has been greatly improved, the ecological environmental monitoring system of land and sea planning, integration of heaven and earth and information sharing has been continuously improved, and the environmental monitoring ability has been more adapted to the requirements of ecological civilization construction.

  (3) Basic principles.

  Clarify the powers and responsibilities. In accordance with the requirements of "who evaluates and who monitors", distinguish between the central and local authorities in environmental quality monitoring and expenditure responsibilities; According to the law, the responsibility of enterprise pollution monitoring and reporting will be implemented, and the intergovernmental environmental monitoring power will be clearer, and the responsibilities of all parties will be effectively implemented.

  Graded guarantee and strengthened support. Central and local environmental monitoring is included in the scope of financial security at the same level. The central government will increase investment to ensure the construction and operation of the national environmental monitoring system network; Local financial departments should also take environmental monitoring as the focus of environmental protection expenditure to ensure it.

  Implement step by step, actively and steadily. The reform of environmental monitoring system involves a wide range, so it is necessary to make overall planning, prepare a three-year medium-term financial plan, ensure the collection of key expenditures for environmental monitoring, and gradually receive them according to the existing environmental monitoring work capacity.

  Two, support the establishment of the national air, water, soil and other environmental quality monitoring pipe network.

  The central government should accurately grasp and objectively evaluate the overall situation of the national ecological environment quality and meet the assessment requirements for local ecological environmental protection work. According to the requirements of strengthening environmental protection and governance, the construction of state-controlled monitoring sites and sections will be increased, and all state-controlled monitoring sites and sections will be taken over by the state step by step. In terms of atmospheric monitoring, appropriately increase the construction of state-controlled monitoring stations and enrich the monitoring functions to achieve full coverage of major cities at or above the prefecture level in the country and meet the assessment and evaluation needs of the Air Pollution Prevention Action Plan; In terms of water quality monitoring, automatic monitoring stations and sections controlled by the state are added to cover urban waters above prefecture level, and more than 1,400 important rivers such as national boundary rivers, major first-class and second-class tributaries, 92 important lakes and reservoirs, and key drinking water sources are further covered to meet the assessment and evaluation needs of the Water Pollution Prevention Action Plan; In terms of soil monitoring, it supports the development of a national encrypted survey of soil pollution, the monitoring of risk points, the coverage of important drinking water sources and contaminated soil, the establishment and improvement of the data quality control system of the national environmental monitoring network, the improvement of the quality control and management level of environmental monitoring at the national level, and the assurance of accurate and reliable national environmental monitoring data.

  Third, actively promote the reform of local environmental monitoring system

  All localities should speed up the rationalization of the environmental quality monitoring system within their jurisdiction, do a good job in environmental quality monitoring within their jurisdiction, grasp the status of ecological environment quality and the total amount of pollutants discharged within their jurisdiction, and take the initiative to accept the supervision of the masses within their jurisdiction. Conditional provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) can collect environmental quality monitoring points and sections at the city and county levels within their jurisdiction to meet the provincial assessment requirements. All provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government should make clear the timetable of various reform tasks according to the actual situation, and do a good job in ensuring relevant funds. The provincial environmental monitoring data should be shared with the national network.

  Four, fully implement the main responsibility of enterprise pollution source monitoring.

  Enterprises are the first person responsible for clarifying the pollution discharge situation, and should monitor by themselves or entrust a third party to carry out monitoring according to law, report the pollution discharge data to the environmental protection department in time, and key enterprises should also disclose the monitoring information to the society regularly. Local governments should withdraw from the monitoring of pollution discharge instead of enterprises, earnestly perform the duties of supervisory monitoring of pollution sources, improve the online monitoring system of key pollution sources and strengthen the supervision of pollution discharge process. Supervise and urge enterprises to fulfill the responsibility of self-monitoring of pollution sources and information disclosure, and punish enterprises that practise fraud and smuggle. The central government strengthens environmental supervision for local governments to perform their duties.

  V. Vigorously promote the market-oriented reform of environmental monitoring

  Except for sensitive environmental data, the environmental monitoring stations and monitoring sections collected by the central government will, in principle, adopt the way of government purchasing services and choose a third-party professional company for hosting and operation. Local governments should speed up the marketization of environmental monitoring, deepen the classification reform of environmental protection institutions and cultivate the environmental monitoring market. The government should further strengthen the supervision of the third-party environmental monitoring market, strengthen the accountability mechanism, comprehensively establish environmental monitoring standards and norms, assessment and quality control systems, and improve the quality control and management level of environmental monitoring at the national level.

  Financial and environmental protection departments at all levels should fully understand the great significance of deepening the reform of environmental monitoring system, take active actions, strengthen organization and coordination, ensure the smooth implementation of the reform, and make new contributions to continuously improving the level of environmental quality monitoring in China and promoting the construction of ecological civilization.

General Office of the State Council forwarded the report of the State Planning Commission


Current price situation and controlling price increase in the second half of the year


Notice that measures should be taken to report


 


Guo ban fa [199541number


 


People’s governments of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, ministries and commissions and institutions directly under the State Council:


   The State Council agreed with the State Planning Commission’s Report on the Current Price Situation and Measures to Control Price Rising in the Second Half of the Year, which is hereby forwarded to you, please implement it carefully.


Since the beginning of this year, all regions and departments have conscientiously implemented the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference and the Third Session of the Eighth National People’s Congress, resolutely implemented the various regulatory measures of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on curbing inflation and controlling price increases, and done a lot of work. The macroeconomic situation has continued to develop in a good direction, the trend of market price increases has been curbed, and the increase in retail prices has dropped month by month. However, the current price situation is still quite grim, and the task of realizing the annual price control target is quite arduous. All regions and departments must keep a clear head, and must not take it lightly and relax their requirements. We should continue to take curbing inflation and controlling price rise as the primary task of macroeconomic regulation and control this year, earnestly implement a series of regulatory measures to curb inflation and control price rise determined by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, adhere to moderately tight fiscal and monetary policies, strictly control the excessive growth of fixed assets investment and consumption funds, vigorously strengthen agriculture, strictly control the introduction of new price increase projects, and further implement and improve the target responsibility system for price control. All regions and departments should proceed from the overall situation, make more contributions to the realization of the national price control goal, and create conditions for maintaining the good momentum of national economic development and making the Ninth Five-Year Plan have a good macro environment.

On the current price situation and price control in the second half of the year


Report on measures to be taken to rise


 


The State Council:


   According to the spirit of the instructions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on continuing to do a good job in controlling price increases,fivemoon30SolsticesixmoononeOn, the State Planning Commission held a national symposium of price directors in Beijing, analyzed the price situation since this year and its future trend, summed up and exchanged experiences in curbing inflation and controlling price increases in various places, and studied and put forward further measures and policy suggestions to ensure the realization of this year’s price control targets. The relevant situation is now reported as follows:


   A basic estimate of the price situation since this year


   Since the beginning of this year, all regions and departments have conscientiously implemented the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference and strengthened their leadership over price work, and the market price increase has dropped month by month. Compared with the same period of last year,fiveIn September, the national retail price index was17.6%, compared with the previous yeartwelveThe increase in June fell back.5.6Percentage points. Price increases have declined to varying degrees in various places, including Beijing, Tianjin, Guangdong, Hainan, Shanghai and Anhui.sixProvinces and citiesfiveThe retail price increase in January has fallen back to15%Below;35The average retail price increase in 20 large and medium-sized cities has dropped to15.1%.


   However, the degree of improvement in the price situation since this year cannot be overestimated. First, although the price increase has dropped, the increase is still very high. Compared with the same period of last year, this yearonefiveThe national retail price index is still as high as19%The national consumer price increase is still as high as.21.7%And the rate of decline in price increases has slowed down month by month. At the same time, the price index calculated on a month-on-month basis also rebounded. This year,onefiveIn January, the national retail price index rose respectively from last month.3.0%1.8%0.0%0.7%and0.2%This calculation has constituted a new price increase this year.fiveMore than a percentage point. Second, the decline in price increases in various regions is very uneven, and the decline in most regions is not obvious enough.fiveThere are still monthsfiveRetail prices in 20 provinces and autonomous regions rose in20%Above, the highest increase(Ningxia Wei21.4%)Compared with the lowest(Tianjin is11.4%)tower above10Percentage points. The slow decline of the increase in these areas is due to the low price base and the lag of price increase, as well as management reasons. In some places, on the one hand, the price index is very high, and on the other hand, new price increase projects continue to be introduced without authorization. Third, prices in rural areas are still rising. From last yearfourSince June, the price increase in rural areas has been continuous.14Next month is higher than the city. this yearonefiveIn September, the retail price index of rural commodities rose compared with the same period of last year.21.6%, higher than the city4.5Percentage points, affecting the national retail price increase.1.9Percentage points.


   Second, the favorable conditions and difficulties of controlling price increases in the second half of the year


   In the second half of this year, the general trend of price increase will further decline. First, the impact of last year’s price hikes will be significantly weakened. According to estimates by the National Bureau of Statistics, the impact of last year’s price increase on this year’s hikes averaged about in the first half of the year.14.5Percentage points, the second half of the year will weaken to the average.fiveAbout a percentage point. Second, the state adheres to a moderately tight monetary and fiscal policy, and will take further measures to strictly control the scale of investment in fixed assets, especially new projects, and strengthen macro-control and supervision and management of consumer funds. Third, the central government has decided not to introduce new price adjustment measures in principle in the second half of this year. Fourth, governments at all levels have further increased their investment in agriculture, the area planted with grain has increased, and the area of vegetable fields in urban suburbs has expanded. In addition, the state has taken control measures such as suspending grain exports, increasing grain imports, and selling corn to stabilize feed prices, so that the tight supply of some major agricultural products will be alleviated. Fifth, most domestic industrial products for daily use are well supplied and sold normally, and residents’ consumption behavior tends to be reasonable. Sixth, the target responsibility system for price control has been generally established in various places, and various measures to strengthen price supervision have been gradually implemented. Therefore, if there are no major natural disasters in the second half of this year, and all macro-control measures can be implemented, it is possible to achieve the annual price control goal.


   At the same time, it should be noted that it is necessary to control the annual price increase in15%About the goal, the difficulty is still not small. Mainly manifested in:


   First, social demand is still growing too fast, and the main factors of inflation have not been eliminated. Since the beginning of this year, the State Council has not approved new large and medium-sized infrastructure projects, but there are still many new infrastructure projects approved by local governments.onefiveNew fixed assets investment projects started by state-owned units nationwide in June.13713An increase over the same period last year.2829A, investment scale growth57.2%.onefiveThe wage expenditure of the national bank increased in September compared with the same period of last year.25.77%Although the increase has declined, considering the increase in the total retail sales of consumer goods in society,31.4%And residents bought it1100At the same time, savings deposits have also increased.3055100 million yuan, indicating that there are still many consumer fund expenditures that violate the regulations.


   Second, the agricultural foundation is weak, food prices have been rising so far, and non-staple food prices.


The lattice lurks the danger of fluctuation. Judging from the "rice bag",fiveThe purchase price of grain continued to rise in February, and the average market price of four main agricultural products, such as wheat, rice, corn and soybean, was $100,000.50kilogram10053Yuan, up from last month.2.9%. Judging from the "vegetable basket", at present, vegetables are abundant in most areas, and the prices of vegetables, pigs and eggs have dropped. However, due to the excessive rise in corn prices, some areas have suffered losses in raising pigs and chickens, and they are not active in replenishing the basket. If the relevant control measures are not in place in time, the supply of non-staple food may be tight after entering the third quarter, and the price of "vegetable basket" may rebound. Judging from the prices of agricultural means of production,onefiveThe month of last year is higher than the same period of last year.30.2%It is also possible to further promote the price increase of agricultural products.


   Third, there is great pressure from all sides to adjust prices. Since last yeareightSince September, the state has basically not introduced new price adjustment measures, but this year, with the price increase falling month by month, the voice of some regions and departments demanding price adjustment measures has risen again, especially in coastal areas and big cities where the price increase has dropped significantly.


   Fourth, the disorder of market circulation has not been fundamentally reversed, and arbitrary charges and arbitrary price increases will still add fuel to the price increase. The disorder of market circulation is one of the important reasons for the excessive price increase in recent years. In the market circulation of grain, cotton and fertilizer, problems such as illegal operation, reselling and price increase at different levels are still serious in some places.


   A comprehensive analysis of various factors in current economic life requires greater determination and more solid work to ensure the realization of this year’s price control targets.


   Three, do everything possible to ensure the realization of this year’s price control targets.


   Ensure that the national retail price increase this year has dropped significantly compared with last year, and strive to control it.15%Around, this is a major event related to the overall economic development and social stability. In the second half of this year, we should continue to take curbing inflation and controlling price increases as the primary task of macro-control and the key link to correctly handle the relationship between reform, development and stability. We should continue to strictly control the newly introduced price increase projects and further strengthen price supervision. Specifically put forward the following measures:


   (one)Further implement the target responsibility system for price control. Governments at all levels should establish a target responsibility system for price control, and the main leading comrades should personally grasp the price work. It is necessary to organize all departments to work together, make concerted efforts, and implement the responsibility of controlling prices. First of all, we should take practical measures to strictly control the scale of investment in fixed assets and effectively improve the investment efficiency. Secondly, we should continue to strengthen the supervision and management of consumer funds and strictly control the excessive growth of consumer funds. The State Planning Commission and the National Bureau of Statistics should continue to make monthly announcements of all provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government and35The work of retail price index in a large and medium-sized city urges local governments to control prices well. At the same time, according to the requirements of the State Council, it is necessary to do a good job in the special inspection of the implementation of national price control measures in the near future, sum up experience, find out the gap, and truly put the various control measures of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on curbing inflation and controlling price increases in place.


   (two)Strict discipline, strictly control the introduction of new price adjustment projects. We must strictly control the introduction of price increase projects and focus on establishing and improving the macro-control system of prices. According to the decision of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, no new price adjustment measures will be introduced in the second half of this year in principle. Where all localities and departments introduce price increase projects without authorization, the leaders concerned shall be held accountable.


   (three)Stabilize the purchase and sale prices of grain. Stabilizing food prices is the most important thing to stabilize the whole price. In the second half of the year, we should continue to implement the spirit of the Notice of the State Council on Continuing to Do a Good Job in Stabilizing Grain and Oil Prices. The purchase price of grain ordered by the state will not be adjusted this year, and the out-of-price subsidies adopted by some places should be allocated by local finance or allocated from grain risk funds in strict accordance with state regulations, and bank loans or accounts should not be diverted, nor should they be passed on to grain enterprises. State-owned grain enterprises should strictly implement policies to ensure that the ordered grain is used for the supply of residents’ rations, and it is strictly forbidden to increase the price and resell it without authorization. The sales price of standard rice and flour for urban residents and other basic rations managed by the government should remain stable and cannot be raised. The price difference and loss caused by stabilizing the grain selling price shall be compensated by all localities from the grain risk fund; If the fund is insufficient, the local finance should allocate additional subsidies. It is necessary to improve the methods of grain supply, strengthen the management of grain sales, and ensure that low-income residents can really enjoy the rations supplied by the government at preferential prices. All localities should take appropriate measures to control the prices of grain products and light industrial products with grain as raw materials.


   (four)Strive to keep the price of non-staple food stable. Governments at all levels should continue to make great efforts to strengthen the construction of the "vegetable basket" project, ensure the vegetable planting area and do a good job in market supply. It is necessary to encourage farmers to sell vegetables directly in cities, reduce the links in vegetable management, rectify various fees in vegetable management, and popularize the experience of moderately flexible differential management of vegetable prices in Shenzhen and other places in order to stabilize vegetable prices. At present, special attention should be paid to the production, supply and price stabilization of live pigs and eggs, and all localities should conscientiously implement the requirements of the Notice of the General Office of the State Council on the Use of State-specially Stored Corn to Stabilize Feed Prices and Stabilize Pig Production, so that this batch of corn can really play a role in stabilizing feed prices. According to the reasonable price of pig food, the protective price of pig purchase should be formulated, and the capital needs of commercial enterprises to purchase pigs should be guaranteed, and commercial departments should be supported to purchase more and reserve more, so as to implement the protective price. It is necessary to strengthen the construction of meat market, expand market throughput, and make full use of the leading role of state-owned commerce in increasing market supply and stabilizing market prices. It is necessary to make full use of the non-staple food price adjustment fund to stabilize production and stabilize prices. Cities that have not yet established a non-staple food price adjustment fund should pay close attention to it and strive to do so by the end of this year.60Large cities with a population of more than 10,000 can set up non-staple food price adjustment funds.


   (five)Efforts should be made to increase fertilizer production and effectively stabilize fertilizer prices. Fertilizer enterprises should continue to produce at full capacity and strive to increase market supply. All regions and relevant departments should do everything possible to ensure the supply of raw materials and electricity needed for fertilizer production. Fertilizer production and management enterprises should strictly implement the prescribed ex-factory price and sales price, and shall not raise prices without authorization. We should continue to rectify the circulation channels of chemical fertilizers, and prohibit illegal operation and reselling. Currently available13A province(District and city)The practice of linking planned fertilizer sales with grain and cotton orders has played an important role in stabilizing fertilizer prices and ensuring fertilizer supply, and all localities should actively promote it.


   (six)In view of the weak links, strengthen rural price management. The high price increase in rural areas is not only strongly reflected by farmers, but also adversely affects agricultural production and rural stability, and also adversely affects the realization of the national price control goal. All localities should effectively stabilize counties.(city)Price management agencies, and strengthen the county(city)The focus of price work is on rural market management, supporting agriculture, promoting agriculture and protecting farmers’ interests. In addition to strengthening the management of fertilizer prices, all localities should also take measures to effectively stabilize the prices of agricultural films and pesticides. It is necessary to strengthen the price management of grain and cotton purchase links, ensure the implementation of the national order price, stop the low-pressure price reduction and price increase of agricultural products, do a good job in the convergence of regional prices, and prevent regional blockades. It is necessary to strengthen the management of townships and rural markets, do a good job in the supply and marketing of grain, non-staple food, materials and building materials, and maintain the basic stability of prices. We must continue to control arbitrary charges and prohibit illegal apportionment to farmers.


   (seven)Rectify the circulation order and strengthen price supervision. We should continue to strengthen the supervision and examination of people’s basic necessities and service prices, and further improve and implement various supervision and examination measures such as price increase declaration, filing and slip control. We should focus on people’s daily necessities, do a good job in market price inspection, and resolutely stop illegal activities such as shoddy food, oil, meat, eggs, vegetables and other people’s daily necessities, cheating customers, adulterating and making fakes. We should seize typical profiteering and fraud, severely punish them, expose them publicly, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.


   If the above opinions are not improper, it is suggested that the State Council transmit them to all regions and departments for implementation.


  


                              state planning commission


                            June 16, 1995

New labeling regulations for health food: "No treatment", shelf life and other contents should be eye-catching.

  Changsha Evening News reported on August 20th (all-media reporter Zhou Huixia) On August 20th, the State Administration of Market Supervision issued the "Guidelines for Warning Terms on Health Food Labeling" (hereinafter referred to as the "Guidelines"), which made the warning terms on health food more clear and strict. Including the label that a warning area must be set up, and the area should not be less than 20% of its layout, the shelf life should be described in the way of "the shelf life will last until a certain day of a certain year", and there is obvious color difference between the text in the warning language area and the background of the warning language area, etc., and the warning language should include "health food is not a drug and cannot replace drugs to treat diseases" and so on, in order to make consumers, especially elderly consumers, easily identify and understand consumption. It is reported that the "Guide" will be implemented on January 1 next year.

  False propaganda and marketing routines of health food infringe on consumers’ rights and interests.

  In China, foods that have certain health functions and are suitable for specific people are regarded as health foods, and strict management is carried out according to special food management methods. In the supervision of health food, the market supervision department focuses on the strict examination and approval of product production before listing. After listing, it is required to indicate suitable people and unsuitable people on product labels and instructions, stating that "this product cannot replace drugs".

  With the enhancement of consumers’ awareness of health care, the demand for health food has increased greatly. The market supervision department found that some violations of consumers’ rights and interests occurred in the development of health food market.

  False propaganda makes consumers unconsciously equate health food with medicine, which is the strongest phenomenon that consumers reflect on health food marketing. When the reporter followed the inspection of the law enforcement personnel of the market supervision department, he found that some merchants boasted that the mattress worth 20,000 yuan was a magic mattress that could cure all diseases, and told the old people who came to experience it: sleeping on such a mattress, the head is not dizzy, the eyes are not flowery, and the legs are not painful. Law enforcement officers found that the purchase price of such a mattress is only one tenth of the selling price, and the hot spot on the mattress is actually infrared.

  Some health foods are falsely publicized and exaggerated, and are blown into "magic medicine"; Some illegal enterprises, especially those that produce and sell nourishing and aphrodisiac health foods, illegally add sildenafil and other ingredients to harm consumers in order to enhance the efficacy of products. 

  "My grandmother went to a health care class every three to five times, and received three or five eggs and one or two boxes of noodles every time. After receiving it for a dozen times, she spent more than 4,000 yuan to buy a bunch of selenium-enriched wheat that is said to be able to treat high blood pressure and heart disease. It is moldy at home." Speaking of the temptation of health food marketing to the elderly at home, Huang Ling, who is engaged in market supervision, said that in the marketing process of health food, some consumers bought a bunch of unnecessary ordinary food at a high price.

  In view of the chaos such as consumer fraud and false propaganda in the marketing process of health food, Hunan Provincial Market Supervision Bureau reminded consumers in this year’s "100 Days" special rectification campaign to be alert to various routines in the marketing process of health food, including: cheating in the name of "prevention", "health care" and "treatment" of traditional Chinese medicine, or under the guise of medical concepts and terms; Free gifts or "health care products" boxes and bills for gifts; Faking the name of public welfare activities to attract consumers to attend lectures on popularizing health knowledge is actually promoting "health care" products; Claiming that products can cure many diseases and lure consumers; Provide family services at home and sell products to the elderly; Selling "health care" products (services) with free travel as the gimmick; The use of health programs (columns), disguised release of medical, pharmaceutical, "health" food advertisements; Through the network, "brushing the letter" makes consumers misunderstand the product sales; Lure consumers to invest, buy, etc. under the guise of high returns from buying company stocks.

  On January 8 this year, 13 departments including the State Administration of Market Supervision jointly launched a nationwide "100-day" campaign to rectify the chaos in the health care market, and the market supervision department of Hunan Province responded quickly. It is reported that in the "100-day" rectification campaign, Hunan Province filed 646 cases, recovering economic losses of 6.5542 million yuan for consumers, and investigated and dealt with a number of illegal cases with serious circumstances and strong social repercussions, such as false propaganda of Xinqi Health Industry Group Co., Ltd. 

  The warning words of the new regulations are written on the packaging box for the convenience of consumers.

  The Guide published by the State Administration of Market Supervision on August 20th, as a new measure to overweight the supervision of health care products market after the "100-day" rectification action, focuses on the supervision of products after listing from three aspects.

  First of all, it puts forward clear requirements on the warning signs of health food labels.

  Product label is the carrier for enterprises to express product information to consumers, and it is also the way for consumers to obtain product information directly. Whether the marked content is true, clear and complete directly affects consumers’ judgment and choice. The reporter found that although the health food currently on sale in the market can’t relate to the functions of disease prevention and treatment, it only states that "this product can’t replace drugs", and the position and size of the statement are not specific and often inconspicuous, which is difficult to attract consumers’ attention, and gives the marketing behavior of false propaganda and exaggerated efficacy an opportunity.

  The "Guide" makes it clear that health food should be provided with an obvious warning area, which is located on the main display page of the smallest package. It is necessary to mark the warning that "health food is not a drug and cannot replace drugs to treat diseases". The warning area should be no less than 20% of its layout, and at the same time, it should be in bold type to make consumers, especially the elderly, see it more clearly.

  "In the packaging of health food, the shelf life is difficult to find, and some indicate the shelf life of 18 months, 36 months, ‘ See Seal for the production date ’ It is not only difficult to find, but also takes half a day to calculate. " The Guide also has new standard requirements for the problems of "can’t find", "can’t see clearly" and "difficult to calculate" in the way of labeling the shelf life generally reflected by the elderly consumers who buy health food in pharmacies.

  The Guide makes it clear that the shelf life should be marked in a unified form and described in the way of "shelf life to a certain day of a certain year". In the labeling position of the shelf life, it is required to clearly mark the shelf life and production date on the obvious position of the minimum sales package (container) of the product. If the date is marked with "see a part of the package", the specific position of the package should be accurately marked. In terms of color difference, it is also required that the shelf life label should be in sharp contrast with the background color of the location, so that the shelf life can be seen at a glance and it is convenient for consumers to buy.

  In addition, the Guide also puts forward detailed requirements for labeling service telephones and business premises with consumer tips.

  In daily life, consumers often encounter some questions or problems when eating health food, such as whether children can eat it, whether the elderly are suitable to eat it, how to deal with the problems encountered in the process of eating, etc. Who to consult and reflect these questions or problems has always been a headache for consumers. In order to facilitate consumers to get advice in time when they encounter difficult problems, the Guide stipulates that information such as complaint service telephone number and service time should be clearly marked on the label of health food. Production and operation enterprises should answer and handle complaints and reports during the service period, and the relevant information should be kept for at least two years.

  Influence helps to urge enterprises to implement the main responsibility.

  Health food is not medicine, and it can’t cure diseases. The market supervision department will standardize from the label identification, which will play a positive guiding role in implementing the main responsibility of enterprises and standardizing the sales behavior of merchants.

  As a kind of special food, according to the provisions of the Food Safety Law, producers and operators are responsible for the contents of the labels provided by them. The labels of health food should not involve the functions of disease prevention and treatment, and the contents should be true and the labels should be clear and obvious.

  The Guide further requires that warning language be marked on the label, which shows the self-declaration of the real information of the product, reflects the self-commitment of the enterprise to the main responsibility, and is conducive to strengthening the awareness of honesty and self-discipline in the food industry.

  In order to remind consumers more intuitively to be rational and understand consumption, and also to restrain and supervise the marketing behavior of merchants, the Guide also stipulates that health food operators should mark consumption tips in prominent positions such as business premises and online platforms. The market supervision department has even studied and formulated a reference template for health food consumption tips, which mainly includes: health food is food, not medicine, and cannot replace medicine to treat diseases; When purchasing health food, we should recognize the approval number and mark, and choose and eat according to the suitable crowd and the unsuitable crowd; Go to regular shopping malls, supermarkets, pharmacies and other business units to buy; In case of violation of laws and regulations, you can report to the local market supervision department or call 12315 to report complaints.

  In recent years, the "chaos" in the health food market has become a major problem. Many consumers have a weak ability to distinguish health food, while some unscrupulous merchants exaggerate their propaganda by taking advantage of "emptiness", which makes many consumers suffer greatly. According to the relevant person in charge of health care industry Association, it is an important embodiment to protect consumers’ right to know by labeling warning words in a conspicuous position, so that consumers can enjoy the right to know the real information of the goods they buy and use, which is conducive to the formation of a long-term mechanism to resist false propaganda and prevent consumer fraud.

  Maintain the healthy ecology of health care products market

  Xiao Yinglin

  Since ancient times, health and longevity have been one of people’s wishes for a better life. Young people’s greetings and blessings to the elderly are the most sincere and most listened to words: "I wish you happiness as the East China Sea lives longer than the South Mountain". Nowadays, the life of ordinary people is getting more and more comfortable, and health care is an ordinary topic for people. The elderly turn the blessings of their younger generations into their own actions. For example, listen to the wind and buy all kinds of health care products, or even buy them inexplicably.

  As everyone knows, in the market, there are inevitably bad businesses that make money. Faced with the huge market demand, they either illegally launch products, or make false propaganda and confuse them, or make a big fuss about packaging … … Especially for some elderly people, it can be said that it is omnipotent. In recent years, the problem of merchants deceiving the elderly to buy products for profiteering by false propaganda has emerged one after another.

  With more and more elderly people in China and the development of the national strategy of "Healthy China", the market for health care products is growing. In a sense, this industry is growing into a "giant". However, some health care products with serious circumstances and strong social repercussions in cheat people have made the "giant" move forward with illness, which is unacceptable. Everyone knows that cancer growth factor appears in the body, so it must be eliminated as soon as possible by medication and even surgery, which can make the body healthy and strong.

  Now, the State Administration of Market Supervision has published the "Guidelines for Warning Terms of Health Food Labeling", which focuses on the supervision of products after listing from three aspects. It is believed that with the overweight of supervision, through the efforts of all parties, counterfeiting will be eliminated and the healthy ecology of the health care product market will be maintained.

Joy of Life VVIP provokes controversy: "Video websites may constitute VIP fraud"

Recently, Joy of Life, a costume drama, has been controversial because it costs 50 yuan to order it in advance, and some people even sued the video platform for it.

In addition, many users accused the video platform of "drinking poison to quench thirst", and some users said that they would switch to pirated platforms.

As of December 17th, Joy of Life scored 7.9 points in Douban, ranking first in the hot search list of mainland TV series of Tencent Video. According to the data of online film and television media data platform, as of December 17th, the popularity of the whole network in Joy of Life reached 51.26, far exceeding the costume dramas such as "He Lai Hua Ting" and "Sword Dynasty" broadcast in the same period.

At present, on Tencent and Iqiyi platforms, you have to pay 50 yuan to "unlock" 6 more episodes of Joy of Life than members.

On December 17th, Wang Juan, vice president of Tencent Video, talked about the recently controversial "VVIP" model in Joy of Life, saying: "The reason why we are controversial this time, I think it may be that we are not considerate enough to members’ consumption psychology. This piece is indeed our bug or something we have not done well enough."

Joy of LifeThe popularity is over the same period of costume drama, and members still need to pay for 50 yuan’s "unlocking" drama series.

On the evening of December 11th, Joy of Life needed to spend 50 yuan to board the hot search in Weibo due to the advance on demand.

Joy of Life is a costume drama directed by Sun Hao and starring Ruoyun Zhang and Li Qin, which premiered on November 26th, 2019 on Tencent Video and iQiyi. Production companies include Tencent Pictures, Xinli TV Culture Investment Co., Ltd., Deep Blue Film and Television, Reading Group, Huayu Times, Hainan Radio and Television, etc.

At present, on Tencent and Iqiyi platforms, it is necessary to pay 50 yuan to "unlock" six more episodes of Joy of Life than members, which has been hotly debated by netizens. As of December 17th, the drama has been broadcast to 29 episodes on both video platforms. However, at present, non-members can only watch the 17th episode, while members can only watch the 23rd episode. Only by paying 50 yuan to order in advance can they watch the 29th episode.

On the evening of December 14th, the People’s Daily client published an article entitled "Video website routines emerge in an endless stream, which is too ugly to eat", saying: "VVIP is set up outside VIP, and extra money is needed to enjoy advance on-demand video. Video websites are creating anxiety and inducing user consumption. Is there such an agreement in the previous agreement to purchase VIP? If it is not marked, this extra charge is actually a violation of consumer rights. "

On December 17th, Wang Juan, vice president of Tencent Video, said when talking about the recently controversial "VVIP" model in Joy of Life: "The reason why we are controversial this time, I think it may be that we are not considerate enough to members’ consumption psychology. This piece is indeed our bug or something we have not done well enough."

Facing the way of advanced VOD, Wang Juan also said: "The way of advanced VOD that we hope to explore has been challenged and criticized. But in the face of these things, a sense of crisis and creativity coexist. It is very important for the mining of user consumption, but we hope to think in a more scientific, more orderly and more respectful perspective. "

In addition, on December 17th, after the 4th Annual Summit of New Entertainment and New Consumption in China in 2019, Ying Dai, vice president of iQiyi and general manager of the self-made drama development center, said in response to the dispute over advanced video-on-demand in Joy of Life: "The content of video platforms is becoming more diverse, and the needs of users are becoming more diverse. Our original intention is to meet users’ more diverse content needs, but it may not be done well. In the future, we hope to take more account of users’ psychology and do a good job in the design and notification of scheduling. "

In fact, this is not the first time that the video platform has launched the "advance on demand" service.

At the end of the drama of the popular The Untamed, Tencent Video has launched a marketing strategy of an episode of 6 yuan and a total of 30 yuan’s pre-on-demand finale, testing the water for pre-on-demand.

Lawyer: After the appearance of VVIP, the propaganda promise of video websites constitutes fraud against VIP.

Zhao Zhanling, deputy director of Beijing Zhilin Law Firm, told the The Paper reporter: "The main problem in providing advanced on-demand service outside VIP is that purchasing VIP service means that you can watch 6 episodes first. According to consumers’ common understanding, this kind of preemption means that VIP members can watch 6 episodes first as long as there is a new episode update. However, due to the existence of advanced on-demand service, VIP members’ preemption of watching 6 episodes has only become relative to non-members and not relative to VVIP. Therefore, the propaganda promise of the video website about VIP members’ preemptive viewing of services is suspected of violating the Consumer Protection Law and constitutes fraud to consumers. "

It is worth noting that on December 16th, Weibo law blogger @ Wu Shengwei wsw, who has 670,000 fans, has taken Aiqiyi to court for pre-ordering. He said: "Joy of Life, who has been watching the hit of Iqiyi recently, is particularly good. After catching up with the latest episode, I found that I have to watch not only the patch advertisement, but also pay to watch it in advance. One episode is as high as 3 yuan. Only then did I realize that today’s members have become ordinary users. Nowadays, VIP members of iQiyi can’t automatically skip advertisements and watch hit dramas in advance. The original membership rights are gone, and many membership privileges are castrated in disguise. "

He also said: "I have always been a loyal user of iQiyi. I went through iQiyi’s VIP Member Service Agreement and found many problems and full format terms, so I am going to try it by legal means. I feel that if no one comes forward, there will be VVVIP, vvvvip in the future. The prosecution materials will be sent to the Haidian District People’s Court in Beijing by mail in the near future. "

Under the "film and television winter", the capital side is cautious, and the income pressure of video platforms is great.

On December 17th, Wang Juan, vice president of Tencent Video, admitted that the capital market gave less support to video websites this year, and the advertising growth rate was also slowing down.

"It’s true that the business support given by business friends to video websites is much less this year. Because last year, our variety show, our head network drama, can be said that every investment can basically achieve the goals we set for it, but this year is particularly difficult, because the budget you may have in your pocket has been reduced, and what is even more difficult is that everyone’s requirements for the delivery effect have gone further, so from the data point of view, our overall advertising growth rate has slowed down. "

Similarly, the third quarter report of iQiyi shows that online advertising revenue reached 2.1 billion yuan this quarter, down 14% year-on-year.

At the conference call after the financial report was released, Gong Yu, founder, director and CEO of iQiyi, expressed his expectation of advertising revenue in 2020. "Brand advertising accounts for the vast majority of iQiyi. There is no better sign of brand advertising next year as a whole, but effect advertising will be more optimistic next year because of iQiyi’s own efforts in technology and products. "

Gong Yu said: "The bottleneck of brand advertising revenue is not inventory, but the advertiser’s budget. So the utilization rate is not high. "

Global news: market digests inflation data, US stocks rise and fall, humanoid robots welcome industry catalysis again.

  On Wednesday, Eastern Time, US chip stocks experienced a one-day rebound tour, which weakened in an all-round way overnight, and the market was also dragged down. The three major indexes were mixed. In addition, after the release of heavy inflation data, the market also lacked catalysts, and the overall performance was relatively dull.

  At the close, the Dow Jones index rose 0.10% to 39,043.32 points; The S&P 500 index fell 0.19% to 5,165.31 points; The Nasdaq index fell 0.54% to 16,177.77 points.

  The yield of US bonds has rebounded, with the benchmark 10-year US bond yield closing at 4.1879% and the 2-year US bond yield, which is most sensitive to the Fed’s policy interest rate, closing at 4.6324%.

  It may take some time for the market to digest the inflation data, because the last interest rate meeting in the first quarter will be held next week. At this meeting, the bitmap and economic outlook will be announced, when investors will have a clearer expectation for the prospect of interest rate cuts. Before that, if there is no heavy news, US stocks may be more inclined to defensive trading strategies.

  Some analysts said that although the latest CPI data is a relief, people are still cautious about the basic data. In the short term, the macro narrative around the Fed will be the primary and central issue.

  Let’s pay attention to the progress of the US presidential election again. According to Xinhua News Agency, according to calculations and reports from many mainstream media in the United States, former President Trump locked in the Republican presidential nomination for the 2024 US presidential election on the 12 th. That is to say, if there is no accident, Biden and Trump will fight for the second time in the presidential election, but the market has not obviously responded to this at present, and the policies pursued by the two are worthy of attention.

  In terms of enterprises and industries, it is not as dull as the broader market. Tesla, in particular, has been under the headwind so far this year, and was once again slashed by two investment banks overnight. UBS maintained Tesla’s neutral rating and lowered its target price from $250 to $165. Wells Fargo lowered Tesla’s target price from $200 to $120. Tesla fell more than 4% overnight to $169.5, and there was still 30% room for decline from Wells Fargo’s target price.

  Colin Langan, an analyst at Wells Fargo, reported that the growth of the electric car manufacturer in the core market has slowed down. He downgraded Tesla’s rating to the equivalent of selling. It is expected that Tesla’s sales will be flat this year and will decline in 2025. Langan writes that Elon Musk’s company is a "growth company without growth". He pointed out that in the second half of 2023, sales only increased by 3% compared with the first half, while prices fell by 5%. Analysts have become more and more cautious about Tesla, and the bullish rating ratio has dropped to the lowest since April 2021.

  In the future, see how Musk will fight back.

  In terms of AI, Figure, a robot startup company blessed by Amazon and NVIDIA, has released its first robot demo blessed by OpenAI. Although only a neural network is used, it can be used to hand apples to humans, put black plastic bags into frames, and put cups and plates on the drain rack in order to obey human orders. The video shows that the whole operation of the robot is very smooth.

  In addition, Cerebras Systems, a California semiconductor company, released the third-generation wafer-level AI acceleration chip "WSE-3", whose specifications and parameters are even crazier, and its performance has doubled under the premise of constant power consumption and price. It can train the next generation AI model which is ten times as large as GPT-4 and Gemini, and can store 24 trillion parameters in a single logical memory space without partition or reconstruction.

  However, it should be noted that the EU passed the world’s first heavy artificial intelligence supervision bill, which is expected to take effect in May.

  [Highlights]

  Yellen: US interest rates are unlikely to fall back to the pre-epidemic level. The slowdown in rent growth will push inflation down.

  As to why the forecast released by the White House on Monday shows that the interest rate forecast in the next few years is significantly higher than that of a year ago, Yellen said that the relevant economic forecast of the White House reflects the current market reality, and she also refuted the concerns about stagflation, insisting that the progress in inflation has not stagnated.

  Figure launches robot demo blessed by OpenAI big model.

  The world’s first AI chip upgrades 4 trillion transistors and 900,000 cores.

  Cerebras Systems, a California semiconductor company, released the third-generation wafer-level AI acceleration chip "WSE-3", with even crazier specifications and doubled performance under the premise of unchanged power consumption and price. WSE-3 was upgraded to TSMC’s 5nm process again, but the area was not mentioned, but it should be similar. However, the number of transistors continued to increase to an astonishing 4 trillion, the number of AI cores further increased to 900,000, the cache capacity reached 44GB, and the external matching memory capacity was 1.5TB, 12TB and 1200TB. The number of cores and cache capacity have not increased much, but the performance has achieved a leap. The peak AI computing power is as high as 125PFlops, which is 1.25 billion floating-point calculations per second, comparable to the top supercomputing. It can train the next generation AI model which is ten times as large as GPT-4 and Gemini, and can store 24 trillion parameters in a single logical memory space without partition or reconstruction. Four parallel, it can complete the adjustment of 70 billion parameters in one day, and support up to 2048 interconnections, and it can complete the training of Llama 700 billion parameters in one day.

Environmental tax will be levied next month! Do not withdraw from the historical stage by personal sewage charges.

  BEIJING, Dec. 29 (Reporter Qiu Yuzhongqing) On January 1, 2018, China was the first one-way tax law to promote the construction of ecological civilization — — The Environmental Protection Tax Law will be formally implemented, which also means that the sewage charge system that has been implemented for nearly 40 years will withdraw from the historical stage.

  Do individuals have to pay environmental taxes?

  The Environmental Protection Tax Law stipulates that enterprises, institutions and other producers and operators that directly discharge taxable pollutants into the environment in People’s Republic of China (PRC) and other sea areas under the jurisdiction of People’s Republic of China (PRC) are taxpayers of environmental protection tax, and they shall pay environmental protection tax in accordance with the provisions of this law.

  In other words, ordinary residents are not included in the scope of taxation and do not have to pay environmental taxes. According to local media reports, the responsible persons of tax authorities in Hebei, Jiangxi, Anhui and other places have made it clear that individual residents do not pay environmental protection tax.

  When do you start paying taxes?

  Zhongxin. com reporter learned from State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China that the first collection period of environmental protection tax will be around April next year, not to say that tax returns will be started after January 1st.

  In this regard, Shi Zhengwen, director of the Finance and Tax Research Center of China University of Political Science and Law, pointed out in an interview that the environmental protection tax is "calculated on a monthly basis and declared quarterly", and the reporting period and the time when the specific tax obligation occurs are two different things.

  Shi Zhengwen said that the tax calculation began on January 1, but the declaration was from April 1 to 15. During this half-month period, enterprises had to declare their taxes.

  What pollutants are taxed?

  The Environmental Protection Tax Law clearly states that air pollutants, water pollutants, solid waste and noise are listed as taxable pollutants.

  Taxable air pollutants include sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, chlorine gas, etc. Taxable water pollutants include total mercury, total cadmium, total lead, petroleum, animal and vegetable oils, formaldehyde, etc.

  It is worth noting that noise refers to industrial noise according to the Table of Items and Taxes of Environmental Protection Tax attached to the Environmental Protection Tax Law. This means that construction noise and traffic noise are not included in the scope of collection.

  According to the Law on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Noise Pollution, environmental noise refers to the sound produced in industrial production, construction, transportation and social life that interferes with the surrounding living environment.

  Among them, industrial noise refers to the sound that interferes with the surrounding living environment when using fixed equipment in industrial production activities; Construction noise refers to the sound that interferes with the surrounding living environment during construction.

  How much do you pay?

  According to the Environmental Protection Tax Law, the amount of environmental protection tax has both an upper limit and a lower limit. The tax range of air pollutants is from 1.2 yuan to 12 yuan per pollution equivalent, and that of water pollutants is from 1.4 yuan to 14 yuan per pollution equivalent.

  Pollution equivalent refers to a comprehensive index or unit of measurement to measure the environmental pollution caused by different pollutants according to the harmful degree of pollutants or pollution discharge activities to the environment and the technical economy of treatment.

  For example, in terms of industrial noise, different decibels exceed the standard, and the monthly tax levied is different. For example, if it exceeds the standard by 1-3 decibels, 350 yuan will exceed the standard by more than 16 decibels per month, and it will cost 11,200 yuan per month.

  Is the tax payment standard the same everywhere?

  According to the Environmental Protection Tax Law, each province has certain discretion in the specific applicable tax amount of air pollutants and water pollutants. In other words, the specific tax payment standards may be different from place to place.

  "This is equivalent to giving local governments greater discretion," Shi Zhengwen said. "The Environmental Protection Tax Law mentions three factors, namely, the environmental carrying capacity of the local area, the current situation of pollutant discharge and the requirements of economic, social and ecological development goals. According to these three factors, local governments determine the specific applicable tax amount, which varies greatly among different provinces."

  Among them, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding provinces generally set higher taxes on air pollutants and water pollutants. The applicable tax amount of taxable air pollutants in Beijing is 12 yuan per pollution equivalent, and the applicable tax amount of taxable water pollutants is 14 yuan per pollution equivalent, both of which are implemented according to the upper limit of tax range stipulated in the Environmental Protection Tax Law.

  Will it increase the burden on enterprises?

  The relevant person in charge of State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China told the reporter of Zhongxin.com that the environmental protection tax was jointly promoted by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation. According to the standard of "shifting taxes and fees", the past sewage charges were directly converted into environmental protection taxes. Of course, generally speaking, the design of policies is not aimed at collecting money, but mainly to stimulate the awareness of environmental protection and boost the consciousness of environmental protection.

  The person in charge of the Regulation Department of the Ministry of Environmental Protection said that changing the sewage charges into environmental taxes is conducive to improving the rigidity of law enforcement, reducing local government intervention and internalizing environmental costs. Environmental protection tax is levied according to the amount of emissions, with more emissions and more payments, less emissions and less payments, which is conducive to promoting enterprises to improve their environmental protection level and reduce pollutant emissions.

  Does the environmental protection tax belong to the local government or the central government?

  On December 27th, the State Council issued the Notice on the Ownership of Environmental Protection Tax Revenue, which made it clear that environmental protection tax was local revenue.

  The circular pointed out that in order to promote the protection and improvement of the environment and increase investment in environmental protection, the State Council decided to use all environmental protection taxes as local income.

  The current sewage charges are divided between the central and local governments by 1: 9. Wang Jianfan, director of the Department of Taxation and Administration of the Ministry of Finance, pointed out earlier that in order to mobilize local enthusiasm, considering that local governments bear the main responsibility for pollution control, it is planned to take all environmental taxes as local income, and the central government will no longer participate in the sharing.

Creative judgment of utility model patent

Patent involved

editorial comment/note

Recently, a series of requests for invalidation for the utility model patent of "Integrated Self-timer Device" of Yuandesheng have attracted wide attention in the industry. To this end, this newspaper specially invites experts to clarify the relevant examination standards and principles in the patent invalidation procedure in combination with the focus of controversy in the case, and explore why the patent is "invalid", in order to help enterprises improve the quality of patents and improve the level of protection.

Creativity is one of the substantive conditions for an invention to be granted a patent right, and it is the legal issue with the highest proportion involved in the substantive examination of patent application, patent invalidation procedure and patent administrative cases, so its examination standard has also become the most concerned issue for patent applicants or patentees, courts and even the public.

Fact finding in creative judgment

In the examination practice, because the utility model patent involves the specific structure of the product, it is difficult to avoid the comparison between the specific technical features of the technical scheme when comparing the features. If the specific technical features are isolated and the integrity of the technical scheme is split in the comparison process, simply and mechanically comparing the words will lead to unclear facts and affect the conclusion of the examination. This problem is fully reflected in a series of patent invalidation request cases of "integrated selfie device", and objectively and accurately identifying the facts is the basis for the case to draw a correct conclusion.

In the case of a series of patent invalidation requests for "integrated selfie device", the core technical content of the patent involved is that "the stage is provided with a notch, the clamping mechanism is provided with a bending part corresponding to the notch position, and the telescopic rod can be accommodated in the notch and the bending part after being folded", which is recorded in Claim 2 of the patent involved. The claim defines that the notch on the object table corresponds to the bending part on the clamping mechanism, and the notch and the bending part form a space for accommodating the folded telescopic rod, which saves more space for accommodating the selfie stick and realizes the beneficial effect of convenient carrying. During the trial of the case, whether the above-mentioned bending part was made public by the existing technology became the focus of dispute between the two parties. The author will analyze how to identify the fact that the comparison document was made public from two aspects.

1. Comparison of features with the same words.

In one of the requests for invalidation, the claimant used the utility model patent with the invention name "A shooting device clamping device of hand-held remote control shooting device" as evidence (hereinafter referred to as Evidence 1) to comment on the creativity of Claim 2. The petitioner thinks that Evidence 1 discloses that the clamping structure includes a movable rod 3, both ends of which are arranged in two supporting arms in a stretchable manner, and the middle part of which is provided with a bending structure 31, and the bending mechanism 31 is located above the objective table, that is, Evidence 1 discloses the technical scheme of setting a bending part on the clamping mechanism.

Through careful analysis of the contents disclosed in Evidence 1, it is not difficult to find that the middle opening of the bending structure in Evidence 1 is used to engage with the groove on the handle, and the handle is fixed in the middle of the movable rod to facilitate the up-and-down movement of the movable rod, thus clamping the shooting equipment. This is completely different from the function and function of the bending part in the patent involved: the bending part of the patent involved has a U-shaped opening, which together with the notch on the stage forms a storage space for accommodating the folded telescopic rod, thus realizing the miniaturization and portability of the selfie stick. Therefore, although the bending structure in Evidence 1 is similar to the bending part of the patent involved in the case in terms of words and structure, the bending structure in Evidence 1 is used for coupling with the handle, and after it is fixedly connected with the handle, it no longer has any space and cannot be used for storage. Therefore, it can’t be considered that Evidence 1 discloses the bending part of the patent involved, and it doesn’t give the technical enlightenment for its acceptance.

2. Identification of the public contents of the attached drawings

In another request for invalidation, the claimant used a patent for utility model named "a hand-held remote control device for shooting" as evidence (hereinafter referred to as Evidence 2), and once again commented on the creativity of Claim 2. The petitioner believes that Figure 5 of Evidence 2 shows that the end of the fixing frame is provided with a bending part with a large opening, which is the bending part involved in the patent involved.

In patent application documents, the appended drawings are an integral part of the specification, and their function is to supplement the description of the text part of the specification with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical scheme of the invention or utility model. However, only the technical features that can be directly determined from the attached drawings are public contents, and the contents inferred from the attached drawings should not be regarded as public contents.

Attached Figure 5 of Evidence 2 shows the schematic diagram of the connection between the mobile phone holder and the remote control shooting device, in which the mobile phone holder includes a holder and a connecting platform, the holder is used for placing the shooting device, and the connecting platform is used for connecting with the remote control shooting handle. Figure 5 does show that there is a bending part with the same structure as the patent involved in the case in the middle of the fixing frame, but there is no explanation about this bending part in the description of Evidence 2, and according to the analysis and understanding of the full text of Evidence 2, it can be judged that this bending part cannot be used to form a storage space, because the mobile phone fixing frame in Evidence 2 is connected with the remote control handle through the first connecting part, which is a threaded connector. The remote control handle connected by thread can’t be folded, and Evidence 2 doesn’t need to solve the storage space problem in the process of folding the selfie stick, so the setting of the bending part can’t be to solve the technical problems to be solved by the patents involved. Therefore, only on the basis of the structure shown in Figure 5 of Evidence 2, the technicians in this field can’t directly and undoubtedly determine that this structural feature can achieve the same effect as the bending part in the patent involved, and Evidence 2 does not disclose the bending part in Claim 2.

In a word, accurate fact finding is an important basis for correct feature comparison and objective review conclusion. The fact that the technical scheme disclosed in the prior art cannot be simply taken out of context, but should be considered from the perspective of the technical personnel in this field as a whole, and the technical characteristics and functions of the technical scheme should be considered as a whole, so as to accurately compare the characteristics and objectively judge the creativity of the claim. That is to say, for the technical features that support each other in function and have an interactive relationship, the technical features should be considered as a whole.

Influence of protection scope on creativity

The scope of protection of the patent right should match the technological contribution of the invention-creation. If the scope of protection is too large, it obviously exceeds the technological contribution of the invention-creation, which will easily lead to the invalidation of the claim because it is not creative at the stage of invalidation request.

As far as the case of patent invalidation request for "integrated self-timer device" series is concerned, first of all, independent claim 1 defines a larger scope. In independent claim 1, the preamble defines the characteristics of the usual self-timer device, including the telescopic rod and the clamping device, which includes the objective table and the stretchable clamping mechanism, and the connection relationship between the telescopic rod and the clamping device is defined in the characteristic part. That is, "the clamping device is integrally connected to the top end of the telescopic rod", which embodies the difference from the background technology. However, in the trial process of invalidation, it was disclosed by the prior art because it covered a large protection range, so it was declared invalid.

Secondly, the dependent claim 2 embodies the main innovation of the patent involved, that is, the notch on the stage and the bending part corresponding to the notch on the clamping mechanism form a space for accommodating the folded telescopic rod, and the telescopic rod can be directly accommodated in the notch on the stage and the bending part of the clamping mechanism after use, which can solve the technical problems of better accommodating the selfie stick and being convenient to carry. The remaining dependent claims 3-13 refer to claim 2 directly or indirectly, so that even if claim 1 is invalid due to too large a scope of protection, other dependent claims 3-13 can remain valid while dependent claim 2 remains valid.

To sum up, combined with the problem of fact finding in creative judgment, this paper focuses on the analysis of the reasons why Claim 2 was kept valid in the series of cases of "self-timer" invalidation request. Because Claims 3-13 directly or indirectly quoted Claim 2, Claims 2-13 were declared to be kept valid, which benefited from the patent involved’s well-defined patent layout, which reasonably determined the protection scope of the claim.

From the perspective of patent layout, the patents involved are based on a single technical point to construct a combination of claims to effectively protect innovative technologies. Although it is only a single technical point, the layout of claims takes into account the main innovation points, necessary technical characteristics, singleness and other factors, taking into account the principle of layered protection, narrowing the protection scope of claims layer by layer, and the layout ideas are clear and reasonable.

Competition film Great Expectations: An Disillusionment in the Adaptation of Famous Works


The 2012 edition of Great Expectations is conservative and traditional.

    Movie network news Compared with the dazzling skills, exaggeration and excessive changes in the adaptation of famous works in recent years, the 2012 editionGreat expectationsAppearing conservative and traditional, director mike newell shows the growth track of the protagonist Pip step by step according to the chronological order of the original works. However, it is an impossible task to include a literary masterpiece, especially an epic about growth and changes of the times, with the duration of a film. Expect again and again, but always get disappointed again and again. Perhaps, just as the upper class is to Pip, it is just an illusory dream to adapt the film without seeking transcendence but reaching the original.

    Director Mike must have thought that all the audience had seen the original work, so he only chose a few important paragraphs, which also made the rhythm of the film very out of step, and the personality change and complicated relationship between the characters could not be explained clearly, leaving regrets. Pip’s way of growing up is actually to know love, money, class, humanity and redemption step by step. It is Dickens’ interpretation of all this, but every part of the story in the movie is missing something, and it is over before the climax, leaving only us off the screen, with an empty sense of nothingness to the subtitles. In the movie, Pip had an instant epiphany in the face of life changes and spiritual shocks, which saved all the entanglements and struggles, which made the embarrassment of being ridiculed, the pain of losing loved ones and the repentance of starting over not enough to touch people’s hearts and lose the power of the original text.

    The swamp where the story begins and the countryside in Kent are quiet and beautiful, but the protagonist Pip’s shortness of breath and footsteps seem so uncoordinated. The sudden jump out of the prisoners hiding in the cemetery breaks this tranquility and changes Pip’s life from now on. Especially when I think back after I know the ending, I hope that time will pass slowly and then slowly. Even if I have a poor life and my sister’s beating and scolding, at least I have enough food and clothing and my brother-in-law’s protection. Just at that time, Pip didn’t know ordinary happiness. In front of the arrogant and beautiful noble lady, he just wanted to get into the upper class and exchange his "great future" for his sweetheart’s favor, but he didn’t know that such a future ruined his life. In his "ideal life", the narrow old streets of London make people feel bad, and the camera is aimed at the dirty mess in Little Britain. The so-called "great expectations" are also concentrated in exquisite and exaggerated aristocratic costumes and seemingly boring parties in the upper class. This irony should have been the protagonist’s experience after many experiences, but it is too superficial and deliberate in front of the camera.

    Dickens wrote two endings for Great Expectations, which were originally gloomy and sad, but under the pressure of the publishing house, there was another happy ending as described in the film. The audience who like romantic love may applaud and believe that this is true love, but this love with too many impurities is hard to impress everyone. Director Mike and screenwriter david nicholls’s choice of ending is also doomed to lose the recognition of some audiences.

    Fortunately, the restoration of the key points of the original, the exquisite dialogue, the retro British accent and the street view with a sense of the times, as well as the performances of Ralph Fiennes and helena carter, are enough to make this film qualify as a tribute to Dickens. In particular, Pip’s confession to Estella is a classic, which makes the listeners all moved. Ralph Fiennes’s appearance is not much, but it is one of the hidden main lines, and it is also the mainstay of this tome. Helena carter imitates tim burton’s "Corpse Bride" and the defeated "Queen of Spades". Although she occasionally feels a little jumpy, she still vividly displays the pale, thin, mysterious and weird image of a bad woman. Herbert, Pip’s good friend, is extremely dramatic in many supporting roles, even more vivid and lovely than Pip. No matter when he appeared as a child or grew up, he always brought people happy laughter, which also made the depressed story have a glimmer of light.

  On October 18th, the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China opened in Beijing. In his report, the Supreme Leader General Secretary summed up China’s diplomatic work and historic changes in the past five years, and made it clear that China’s diplomacy in the new era should promote the building of new international relations and the building of a community of human destiny. He pointed out that the world is in a period of great development, great change and great adjustment, and peace and development are still the themes of the times. China will continue to play the role of a responsible big country, actively participate in the reform and construction of the global governance system, and constantly contribute to the wisdom and strength of China.

  Wang Yi, Minister of Foreign Affairs, said that the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made a top-level design for us to do a good job in diplomatic work in the new era. The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly pointed out that the diplomacy of a big country with China characteristics should promote the construction of new international relations and a community of human destiny, which pointed out the way forward for us. Among them, the "two constructions" are the inheritance and innovation of China’s peaceful development, and the connection and intersection of the Chinese dream and the world dream. It embodies the greatest common denominator of all countries in the world and contains the common value of human society, which has become a distinctive symbol of China’s diplomacy as a big country with characteristics entering a new era.

  Wang Yi said in August this year that the core of the diplomatic thought of the Supreme Leader General Secretary is a main line, two pillars and three characteristics.

  A main line is to firmly grasp the main line of adhering to peaceful development and promoting national rejuvenation. The two pillars are to build a new type of international relations with win-win cooperation as the core and to build a community of human destiny with one heart. Related to this, the General Secretary also put forward a series of new concepts and ideas, such as new security concept, new development concept, global governance concept, and correct justice and interests concept, which constitute the basic framework of the diplomatic theory system of China as a big country with characteristics. The three characteristics are advanced, pioneering and stable.

  At the beginning of 2017, the deep-seated impact left by the impact of the international financial crisis still exists, the economic recovery is weak, global trade and investment continue to be weak, and anti-globalization thoughts prevail … … It is at this time when the international community is generally worried and at a loss that China’s wisdom, like a bright lamp, continues to send out the strong voice of the times leading the direction of globalization and lead global governance.

  In Davos, the top leaders actively responded to the concerns of all parties at the opening ceremony of the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, and profoundly answered major questions such as "What’s wrong with the world" and "What should we do", stressing that it is not feasible to reverse the historical trend of globalization, and engaging in protectionism is like putting yourself in a dark room, calling for joint efforts to create an innovation-driven growth model, an open and win-win cooperation model, a fair and reasonable governance model and a balanced and inclusive development model.

  During his visit to the United Nations headquarters in Geneva, the Supreme Leader systematically expounded the major international initiative of building a community of human destiny in the forum of the Palais des Nations, and put forward a Chinese plan to solve the global challenges facing human society, thus raising the China concept to an international consensus.

  In May this year, the first "Belt and Road" international cooperation summit forum was successfully held in Beijing. Twenty-nine foreign heads of state and heads of state gathered in Beijing, and senior representatives of more than 130 countries and heads of more than 70 international organizations attended the meeting, forming a global consensus that all countries in the world should work together to promote the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative. The forum reached more than 270 cooperation achievements, weaving a mutually beneficial cooperation network centered on the Eurasian continent, radiating all continents around the world and connecting all the oceans in the world. We will build an international cooperation platform that integrates development strategies, complements each other’s advantages, is interconnected, and is inclusive and open, thus opening up a new path for rebalancing globalization.

  At the G-20 Hamburg Summit held in July, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader made an important speech on the world economic situation and put forward four "China Propositions" to promote the development of the world economy. From Hangzhou to Hamburg, the "China Plan" of global governance in the same strain has become clearer, pointing out the direction and path for the world economy to achieve prosperity, stability and sustainable development.

  Ten years ago, in the tide of the group rise of developing countries, the BRICS countries officially appeared on the international stage, bringing "golden power" to the world. Ten years later, in Xiamen, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader successfully presided over the meeting of BRICS leaders in Xiamen and the dialogue meeting between emerging market countries and developing countries, which opened the second "golden decade" of BRICS cooperation and built a new platform for South-South cooperation with global influence.

  "As the second largest economy in the world, China is well aware of its responsibilities." This is the solemn promise made by the Chairman of the Supreme Leader at the APEC Business Leaders Summit in Da Nang, Vietnam in mid-November. In more than 5,000 words, he accurately explained the profound changes that are taking place in the world economy, and gave China’s plan again with "continuing to build an open economy and strive to achieve mutual benefit and win-win", "continuing to seek innovative growth and tap new development momentum", "continuing to strengthen interconnection and realize coordinated development" and "continuing to enhance the inclusiveness of economic development and let the people share development achievements".

  "For the sake of peace, we must firmly establish a sense of community of human destiny. Prejudice and discrimination, hatred and war will only bring disaster and pain. Mutual respect, equality, peaceful development and common prosperity are the right path in the world. " In 2015, the Supreme Leader said so at the conference commemorating the 70th anniversary of the victory of Chinese people’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the world anti-fascist war.
