Global easing is expected to heat up, and China’s monetary policy space is further opened.

  Recently, the COVID-19 epidemic has spread in many countries around the world, causing market concerns about corporate performance and economic growth. The Federal Reserve announced that it would cut the federal funds rate by 50 basis points to 1% & mdash; 1.25% range, this is the first time the Fed has cut interest rates this year. China’s central bank did not follow suit and suspended the open market operation. Experts believe that China has guided the interest rate reduction in advance, and there is still room for monetary policy.

  At 23: 00 Beijing time on March 3, the Federal Reserve suddenly lowered its benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points to 1.00%— 1.25%, while reducing the excess reserve ratio (IOER) by 50 basis points to 1.1%. 

  Although the Fed cut interest rates three times last year, the relevant decisions were made by the interest rate meeting. The sudden announcement of interest rate cuts exceeded market expectations. Subsequently, the UAE and Saudi Arabia announced a 50 basis point interest rate cut; On the morning of March 4th, Beijing time, the HKMA in Hong Kong and Macau also announced a 50 basis point interest rate cut.

  On March 4th, the People’s Bank of China suspended its open market operation. Experts in the industry believe that in response to the COVID-19 epidemic, China has guided the interest rate reduction ahead of schedule, and there is still room for monetary policy.

  Multinational central banks start to cut interest rates.

  The United States is not the first country to start cutting interest rates.

  Before the Fed cut interest rates, central banks in Australia, Malaysia and other countries announced interest rate cuts. 

  Earlier, the Fed’s interest rate cut expectations have already appeared, but the market expects the Fed to announce this decision at the interest rate meeting in March. The sudden announcement of interest rate cuts outside the interest rate meeting exceeded market expectations. 

  It is not uncommon for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates since last year. Although this is the first interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve in 2020, it is also the fourth interest rate cut operation since last year. The previous three interest rate cuts occurred in July, September and October of 2019.

  Judging from the operation in the history of the Federal Reserve, it is rare to cut interest rates urgently. Ming Ming, chief researcher of fixed income of CITIC Securities, said that the Fed chose to cut interest rates urgently, usually when it encountered a major risk event. Since 1994, there have been nine emergency interest rate cuts in the history of the Federal Reserve. The latest emergency interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve dates back to October 8, 2008, because the collapse of Lehman Brothers triggered concerns about economic recession. In the 11 years since then, the Fed has not taken similar actions. Therefore, it is clearly believed that the announcement of the emergency interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve this time may mean that the assessment of the current risk state within the Federal Reserve has reached a certain level.

   The Fed’s interest rate cut quickly triggered a wave of "following" interest rate cuts. The United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia immediately announced a 50 basis point interest rate cut. China’s Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions adopted the linked exchange rate system, so they also announced interest rate cuts soon. On March 4th, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority announced that it would cut its benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points to 1.50%, and said that it would continue to pay attention to market conditions, maintain the orderly operation of Hong Kong’s currency and foreign exchange markets, and ensure the stability of Hong Kong’s currency according to the linked exchange rate system. The Macao Monetary Authority also announced on March 4th that it would lower the basic interest rate of the discount window by 50 basis points to 1.50%. The Macao Monetary Authority said that since the Macao pataca is linked to the Hong Kong dollar, in order to maintain the effective operation of the linked exchange rate system between Hong Kong and Macao, the policy interest rate changes of the two places must be basically the same. Therefore, the Macao Monetary Authority followed the Hong Kong Monetary Authority to adjust its basic interest rate synchronously.

  Loose expectations have been warming up around the world. Recently, the Bank of Japan purchased a record 101.4 billion yen ETF on March 2, and said that it would provide sufficient liquidity to the market through appropriate market operations and asset acquisition to ensure the stability of the financial market; The European Central Bank also expressed its readiness to take appropriate and targeted measures and take corresponding actions against potential risks if necessary.

  Monetary policy is based on me.

  After the Federal Reserve cut interest rates, China’s central bank did not follow suit and suspended open market operations. 

  On March 4th, the central bank announced that the total amount of liquidity in the banking system is at a reasonable and sufficient level, and no reverse repurchase operation will be carried out today.

  Color, chief economist of Founder Securities, believes that the COVID-19 epidemic appeared earlier in China, and the China government has taken effective measures to prevent and control the epidemic, such as medium-term lending facility (MLF) "interest rate reduction", reverse repurchase operation, refinancing rediscount, special refinancing, etc., to maintain a reasonable and sufficient liquidity. The interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve and other central banks is a lagging policy after the epidemic. China’s central bank is already a pioneer and does not have to follow.

  As early as February 1, the central bank made it clear that it would set up a special refinancing loan of 300 billion yuan to provide financial institutions with low-cost funds and support financial institutions to provide credit support at preferential interest rates for enterprises. Before the financial market opened on February 3, the central bank predicted the timing and scale of liquidity in advance. Subsequently, on February 3 and 4, the central bank put sufficient supply liquidity into the market, and the accumulated liquidity in the two days reached 1.7 trillion yuan, which exceeded market expectations.

  At the same time, China took the lead in "cutting interest rates", but different from the Fed’s interest rate cut, China guided the open market operating interest rate, MLF interest rate and LPR quotation to be lowered in a "relay" manner. On February 3rd, while carrying out a record 1.2 trillion yuan reverse repurchase operation, the interest rates of the current 7-day and 14-day reverse repurchase operations both dropped by 10 basis points, which exceeded market expectations. On February 17th, the winning bid rate of the 200 billion MLF operation carried out by the People’s Bank of China was lowered by 10 basis points; On February 20th, the one-year LPR decreased by 10 basis points to 4.05%, and the one-year LPR decreased by 5 basis points to 4.75%.

"In the short term, China’s central bank may not follow up simultaneously for the time being." Wen Bin, chief researcher of Minsheng Bank, believes that in the past two or three years, China’s monetary policy has been relatively independent, and decisions will be made according to its own economic situation, inflation level, employment situation and other factors. No matter whether the Fed raises interest rates or cuts interest rates, China has not made simultaneous adjustments for the first time.

  For example, at the end of July last year, when the Federal Reserve announced a rate cut, China did not follow suit, and also suspended the open market operation on the same day.

  There is room for countercyclical regulation

  "The global restart of loose operation also provides space for the adjustment of China’s monetary policy in the next stage." Wen Bin said.
 
  Obviously, the further easing of global monetary policy has opened up space for domestic monetary policy. Compared with Europe and America, the Bank of China has more room for conventional monetary policy easing.

  Recently, Liu Guoqiang, deputy governor of the People’s Bank of China, said in an interview with the media that as one of the few countries in the major economies to implement normalized monetary policy, China still has sufficient monetary policy space and sufficient reserves in the toolbox, so it is confident and capable of hedging the impact of the epidemic.

  Under this premise, the expectation of lowering the benchmark deposit interest rate has also increased, but the market is still controversial.

  Liu Guoqiang said that the benchmark deposit interest rate is the "ballast stone" of China’s interest rate system, and it will be kept for a long time. In the future, it will be adjusted in a timely and appropriate manner according to the deployment of the State Council, taking into account the fundamental conditions such as economic growth and price level.

  However, it has been pointed out recently that lowering MLF and other methods should be used to drive down the financing cost of the real economy. At this time, lowering the benchmark deposit interest rate is a "turning back" in the interest rate marketization process. Many economists also believe that the effect of lowering the benchmark deposit interest rate may be limited.

  In this regard, Wen Bin believes that it is residents and corporate deposits that really affect bank costs, accounting for more than 60% of bank liabilities. The change of MLF interest rate is more to convey the intention of monetary policy, which has limited effect on reducing the overall debt cost of banks, not to mention the frequent change of MLF interest rate. The high capital cost of banks also restricts the downward trend of LPR. Therefore, it is very necessary and urgent to lower the deposit interest rate, and we can’t think that lowering the deposit interest rate is the retrogression of interest rate marketization. On the contrary, the central bank’s "anchoring" of the deposit benchmark interest rate is still the core element and proper meaning of monetary policy. 

  Liu Guoqiang said that next, targeted cuts to required reserve ratios will be selected for the banks that meet the service standards in inclusive finance in 2019 to release long-term liquidity. Recently, the COVID-19 epidemic has spread in many countries around the world, causing market concerns about corporate performance and economic growth. The Federal Reserve announced that it would cut the federal funds rate by 50 basis points to 1% & mdash; 1.25% range, this is the first time the Fed has cut interest rates this year.

Conference | The First International Workshop on Frontier Research of "Chinese Etiquette Debate and Nakanishi Rei Studies"

Nowadays, "the dispute of Chinese etiquette" has become a technical term. Whether it refers to the dispute between the East and the West in a narrow sense (1583-1742) or a series of historical facts that have almost run through the whole communication between China and the West since the Ming and Qing Dynasties in a broad sense, the "Chinese etiquette dispute" can be called a major event in the long history of cultural exchanges between China and the West. It is of great significance to the comparison, dialogue and communication between different civilizations in the world today, and its importance is beyond doubt.

On May 11, 2019, the first international workshop on the frontier research of "Chinese Etiquette Debate and Nakanishi Rei Studies" was held in the Convention Center of Shanghai Normal University. With the innovative way of "interdisciplinary dialogue and parallel research", the workshop gathered more than 30 experts and scholars at home and abroad to explore and expand the way of communication and dialogue between China and foreign countries.

The first international workshop on the frontier research of "China’s Etiquette Debate and Nakanishi Rei Studies" brought together more than 30 domestic and foreign experts and scholars from Fudan University, Wuhan University, Central South University, Institute of World Religions of China Academy of Social Sciences, South China Normal University, Anhui University of Science and Technology, Vassar University in the United States and other Chinese and foreign universities and research institutes. The workshop was jointly sponsored by Shanghai Comparative Literature Research Association, Li Xu Wenming Dialogue Research Center of Fudan University and China Language and Literature Innovation Team of Shanghai Normal University, and was specifically undertaken by the editorial department of Comparative Literature and World Literature, the national key discipline of Shanghai Normal University.

The opening ceremony of the workshop was presided over by Associate Professor Ji Jianxun, majoring in comparative literature and world literature in Shanghai Normal University.

Professor Cha Tsinghua, Dean of School of Humanities and Communication, Shanghai Normal University, and Professor Liu Yunhua, Head of Comparative Literature and World Literature, delivered speeches respectively. Dean Cha first warmly welcomed many experts and scholars from home and abroad, and then introduced the characteristics of Shanghai Normal University’s comparative literature and world literature from three aspects: continuity of development, interdisciplinary and cross-cultural education, and the fine tradition of paying equal attention to academic research and personnel training, and put forward valuable suggestions for the future of disciplines, which should not only seize opportunities, but also continue to improve modestly and cautiously. Professor Liu Yunhua further pointed out that the purpose of the discipline is to create a relaxed, pleasant and truth-exploring academic environment, and placed deep expectations on the future development of young scholars. At the same time, Liu Jiaoshou announced that he would take this meeting as an opportunity to prepare for the establishment of the "Interdisciplinary Dialogue and Parallel Research Center" of Shanghai Normal University.

The conference consisted of a keynote speech in the morning and two parallel workshops in the afternoon. Under the unified theme of "Chinese Etiquette Debate and Nakanishi Rei Studies", 21 lectures were given, which cleared up many problems and promoted the academic understanding and research of "Chinese Etiquette Debate" from various angles and fields.

Li Tiangang: "Debate on Chinese Etiquette" —— Research Method and Its Expansion

The keynote speech in the morning is divided into two halves. The keynote speech in the first half was hosted by Yuan Zhaohui, a researcher at the Institute of World Religions of China Academy of Social Sciences. Professor Li Tiangang of Fudan University, with the title of "Debate on Chinese Etiquette: Research Methods and Its Expansion", discussed four issues. The first one was about "Debate on Chinese Etiquette", and he emphasized that not only western documents but also Chinese Manchu and other oriental documents should be cited in the research methods and its expansion. On the second hand, he pointed out that the "Chinese etiquette dispute" is nominally about "ceremony" and in essence involves concepts, namely God and God, soul and Anima. In the third aspect, he said that the in-depth discussion of the "Chinese etiquette dispute" depends on the continuous advancement of the research paradigm, and in the process, we should open our minds to new knowledge; Finally, taking his new work Kanazawa as an example, he introduced his research in the context of the history of thought, mainly considering what is religion and what is folk belief, and the close relationship between religion and belief and the daily life of ordinary people.

Liu Yunhua: What is the relationship between European Enlightenment and China culture?

Professor Liu Yunhua of Shanghai Normal University gave a lecture entitled "What is the correlation between European enlightenment and China culture? First of all, taking Leibniz as a case, he analyzed and pointed out that although Leibniz had contact with China culture through missionaries, he explained the Confucian "reason" with his deistic view, rather than being influenced by it to achieve ideological transformation. Furthermore, he pointed out that the influence can be divided into implanted and confirmed. When talking about the enlightenment’s understanding of western core concepts such as freedom, equality and democracy, China culture has no implanted influence on the west, but only confirmed influence in the process of collision. Finally, he reconsidered the position of "science and technology" in the history of thought, and pointed out that most thinkers in China in the late Ming Dynasty were always confined to political correctness and could not seek truth from facts, and their understanding of western science and technology was really limited.

Mingde Wei: How to read China’s classics? From the perspective of "Nakanishi Rei studies"

The keynote speech in the second half was hosted by Ivan Ruviditch, director of the International Drama Studio of Shanghai Normal University and associate professor of comparative literature and world literature. Professor Mingde Wei of Fudan University’s report "How to Read China Classics? From the perspective of "Nakanishi Rei Studies", he thinks that "Jing" has the same meaning as the western Textus, and it is woven intentionally, so it must have a structure, so we can observe the Patterns in the structure in turn, that is, the structural Patterns and layout. On this basis, he specifically analyzes the patterns in various types such as structural rhetoric according to historical traditions. It also points out that when we contact the text, we need to regard the whole text as a style of existence and writing. And we should learn to understand a classic and put all these factors into its definite rhetorical structure, just to produce what the work itself contains in those who are ready to read it and endure its obscurity.

Song Lihua: The Encounter between the East and the West —— Guo Shi’s Hunting China in Chinese Novels

Professor Song Lihua of Shanghai Normal University made an in-depth study of Guo Shili’s works with the theme of "Encounter between the East and the West: China in Guo Shili’s Chinese Novels". By analyzing the image of China in his Chinese novels, he pointed out that although Guo Shili took Europe, especially Britain, as the frame of reference in describing China, China was excluded from the mainstream of European scientific, artistic and commercial development and became the object that needed European attention and even rescue. However, his words about China’s national character should not be simply regarded as a distortion of the facts, but should be understood as a historical event that really happened, because it once truly shaped the history and relationship between China and the West.

Zhang Yaonan: From "Debate on Etiquette in China" to Comparative Philosophy in China and Europe —— A Preliminary Study on "Debate on Etiquette" in the History of Comparative Philosophy in China and Europe

Professor Zhang Yaonan of Beihang University gave a report entitled "From the Debate on Etiquette in China to Comparative Philosophy in China and Europe —— A Preliminary Study on the Debate on Etiquette in the History of Comparative Philosophy in China and Europe". He pointed out that "Comparative Philosophy in China and Europe" refers to the comparative study between Chinese philosophy and Western philosophy. Looking at its history from Han and Wei dynasties to the present, it has experienced or will experience six periods. As the fourth phase of comparative philosophy between China and Europe, the debate on Chinese etiquette can be observed in six steps, and further summarized from a philosophical perspective, that is, "the debate on Chinese etiquette" and the "Enlightenment Movement" in western Europe are the same movement, and the themes debated are orthodox and heresy, atheism and deity, polytheism and monotheism, rationality and belief, wisdom and superstition, and self-reliance and self-reliance. It also emphasizes that the summary of Hegel’s "China’s Backwardness Theory" and "Historical Progress Theory" is not in line with the reality of Chinese studies and cannot be established.

On behalf of the National Day: the first voice of the debate on etiquette in China

The first half of the workshop was presided over by Wang Lingling, editor of Journal of Beijing Administration College. Professor Guo Qing on behalf of South China Normal University gave a report entitled "The Preamble of Chinese Etiquette Debate". He took the analysis of sacrificial rites from the perspective of Gao Muxian’s interaction with Chinese and Western Confucian classics as an example, and pointed out that in the recent history of cultural exchange between China and the West, Dominicans, as one of them, have always shown themselves as opponents of Chinese etiquette, highlighting their historical image different from Jesuits’ "adaptation strategy". In fact, it’s not that Dominicans didn’t reconcile Yeru. As early as when he preached in the Philippines, Gao Muxian focused on building a dialogue bridge between Thomas theology and Zhu Xi’s Neo-Confucianism, and applied it to the field of sacrifice. Gao Muxian’s comments on China’s sacrificial ceremony constitute the target of Domingo’s understanding of Chinese etiquette.

Wang Ding ‘an: The Separation of Chinese and Western Sacrifices and the Re-development of Comparative Confucian Classics during the Ming and Qing Dynasties

Associate Professor Wang Ding ‘an of Zhejiang University of Technology is entitled "The Separation of Chinese and Western Sacrifice Rites and the Re-development of Comparative Confucian Classics". He believes that the topic of "whether Mass is a sacrifice or not" during the Ming and Qing Dynasties was being staged fiercely in Europe at the same time, but it was not fully developed in China because of suppression. Now we re-examine the problems, beneficial experiences and the possibility of re-launching Comparative Confucian Classics with Aquinas’ sacrificial theology, which unifies "object" and "way". We can find that the difference between "being" and "being like being" presented by the sacrificial object is nothing more than a concrete manifestation of the relationship between God and man; The "way" of offering sacrifices to both Ye and Confucianism shows obvious sacredness.

Xiao Qinghe: Breaking away from the mundane and becoming a saint —— The Catholic narrative about saint in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties

Xiao Qinghe, an associate professor at Shanghai University, gave a report entitled "Going from the mundane to the holy: the Catholic narrative about the holy in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties". By analyzing the evolution of the meaning of the word "holy" and related terms, he clearly showed the process of cultural exchange, conflict and integration between China and the West. He pointed out that the missionary equated Sanctus with "Saint", which not only changed the meaning of Chinese character "Saint" and enriched the content of "Saint" since Ming and Qing Dynasties, but also changed the understanding of Sanctus in European Christian tradition, and the thoughts and spiritual worlds of both sides were blended and changed.

Ji Jianxun: The Origin of the Debate on Chinese Etiquette and the Relationship between Chinese and Western Learning Systems

Associate Professor Ji Jianxun of Shanghai Normal University, starting from The Origin of the Debate on Etiquette in China and the Relationship between Chinese and Western Learning Systems, emphasized that the "Debate on Etiquette" should not be a problem only related to the West or the East, and the new understanding should put it back in the historical coordinates of Sino-foreign exchanges, and the key to solving it lies in identifying the origin of the debate and clarifying the Chinese and Western learning systems behind the conflict. Confronting the problem of "etiquette dispute" and the "two-way" between culture, education and religion in China society revealed from it can help us better understand the two different cultures of China and the West and oppose the "clash of civilizations".

Yang Huiling: A New Probe into the Anti-ancestor Worship Thought in the Debate between Chinese and Western Etiquette in Qing Dynasty

The second half of the first group of the workshop was presided over by researcher Yuan Zhaohui from the Institute of World Religions of China Academy of Social Sciences. Yang Huiling, a researcher at the Institute of Advanced Studies in Comparative Civilization and Humanities Exchange of Beijing Foreign Studies University, took the topic "A New Probe into the Thought of Anti-ancestor Worship in the Debate between Chinese and Western Etiquette in Qing Dynasty" as an example, and studied his understanding and reinterpretation of China culture from the standpoint of Christianity by analyzing Li Yufan, a representative figure who opposed Chinese etiquette in the Debate of Chinese Etiquette in the Vatican Library. He found that he was equally familiar with it even if he held a position and viewpoint against China’s "ancestor worship" culture. Therefore, in the process of cultural exchange between China and the West in history, both sides of the exchange have the process of understanding each other and absorbing each other, rejecting and abandoning, seeing differences in the same, and seeking common ground while reserving differences and integrating and innovating.

Gao Shengbing: Matteo Ricci’s Cultural Identity and Its Translation Strategies and Effects

Associate Professor Gao Shengbing of Anhui University of Science and Technology gave a report on Matteo Ricci’s Cultural Identity and its Translation Strategies and Effects. He analyzed Matteo Ricci’s choice of "God", "Soul" and "Diligene/Caritas" (to love/. The cultural identity of "Western Confucianism" makes Matteo Ricci compare or choose Confucian concepts or words in his discourse, and the cultural identity of Catholic missionaries makes Matteo Ricci choose foreignization in concept translation. As the "other" of China culture, the translated words he chose can be widely accepted, which deserves our consideration.

Jian Wu: "Individualization" and "Cultivation" —— A Comparison between Jung’s Analytical Psychology and Taoist Inner alchemy

Jian Wu, a teacher of Jiaxing University, took "Individualization" and "Cultivation": A Comparison between Jung’s Analytical Psychology and Taoism’s Inner alchemy as the topic, and through the interpretation of the most concentrated and important commentary text of Jung on Taoism’s Inner alchemy, distinguished the fundamental difference between Jung’s psychology and Taoism’s Inner alchemy, and Jung’s misunderstanding of "The Purpose of Taiyi Jinhua". He pointed out that Jung’s psychology and Taoism’s inner alchemy are ideographic codes of two discourse systems, which represent two sets of thinking paths, and their speech objects are both internal experiences, so their differences are actually greater than their similarities. If we say that Jung adopted the method of "Geyi", it may not be an exaggeration to take me as the main analytical psychology when interpreting the Purpose of Taiyi Jinhua (including the Classic of Wisdom and Life) for his own analytical psychology.

Tan Jie: Words and deeds attest to Taoism —— Characters and moral education in "stories of testifying to Taoism" in the late Ming Dynasty

Associate Professor Tan Jie of Central South University’s report is "Words and deeds attest to the truth: the characters and moral education in the story of testifying to the truth in the late Ming Dynasty". By tracing back to the ethical tradition of the Renaissance, he placed the story of testifying to the truth in the Chinese translation in the late Ming Dynasty in the humanistic ethical tradition of the Renaissance. Through the analysis of two typical characters, "King Philip" and "Bi Da Lie La", he investigated its transmission by quoting the words and deeds of western sages.

Jia Weizhou: Confucianism-Confucianism in the Dialogue between Ye and Confucianism in the Late Ming and Early Qing Dynasties

The first half of the second group of the workshop was presided over by Dr. LIM Hyebin, a teacher majoring in comparative literature and world literature at Shanghai Normal University. Associate Professor Jia Weizhou of Guangdong University of Finance and Economics is entitled "Confucianism-Confucianism in the Dialogue between Confucianism and Confucianism in the Late Ming and Early Qing Dynasties", trying to return to the historical text and the specific context in which the problems occurred, so as to understand the reasons why the religious interpretation of Confucianism occurred in the dialogue between Confucianism and Confucianism in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, the starting point of different views, the methodology of hermeneutics and the results of the debate. This understanding will provide specific historical enlightenment to the discussion of religious interpretation of contemporary Confucianism. At the same time, the western Confucianism-Confucian view can reflect the attitude towards the whole culture of China, and we can also see the historical formation path of the western China view and China’s western view.

Jiang Xiaojuan: An Islamic Chinese Translator Influenced by the Debate of Catholic Etiquette

Dr. Jiang Xiaojuan of Fudan University’s report is "Islamic Chinese Translators under the Influence of Catholic Etiquette Debate". She started with the stimulation brought to Islamic scholars by a series of activities of Jesuit missionaries entering China, emphasizing that while they were hit hard, the Jesuits’ writing and speaking activities also inspired Islamic scholars, stimulating them to promote the localization of Islam in the same way, and a number of Islamic Chinese translators headed by Wang Daiyu emerged. They advocated the further development of Islam in China by interpreting Confucianism and explaining the similarities between Islam and Confucianism, which contributed to the further China of Islam.

Li Qiang: Christians in China and the Modern Evolution of the "Etiquette Debate" in the Early Qing Dynasty —— Focusing on the manuscripts in Xujiahui Library

Li Qiang, a doctor from Shanghai University, took the modern evolution of the text "The Debate on Etiquette between Christians in China and the Early Qing Dynasty" as a topic-focusing on the manuscripts collected in Xujiahui Library. In his report, he systematically combed the modern evolution of "The Debate on Etiquette" as a product, so as to illustrate the historical inevitability of modern Catholicism releasing the bondage of "The Debate on Etiquette" to Christians in China.

Wang Hongchao: Religion, Politics and Culture —— A Study of Yi-ology of Suoyin School and Missionaries in China

Associate Professor Wang Hongchao of Shanghai Normal University is entitled "Religion, Politics and Culture: A Study on the Yi-ology of Suoyin School and Missionaries in China". He pointed out that the study of Zhouyi by missionaries in China was deeply rooted in the biblical interpretation through the example that China Suoyin School founded by Bai Jin hoped to find the information of ancient China’s GOD from the Book of Changes and Jacob’s interpretation of "God" in the Book of Changes and other classics in the late Qing Dynasty.

Wang Niecai: Revelation or Reason? Two Opposing Interpretations of the Confucian Classics during the Rites Controversy

The second half of the second group of the workshop was presided over by Professor Du Wenwei, President of North American Oral and Performing Literature Research Association, Professor of Vassar University in the United States and researcher of China Opera Academy. Associate Professor Wang Niecai of Zhaoqing University took the book Revelation or Reason? Two opposing interpretations of the Confucian classics during the Rites Contraversy, this paper first introduces two different interpretations of the Four Books in the West, that is, the Franciscan Lian Dang (1602-1669) and the seal of Confucianism (1664) adopted an allegorical method to interpret the true meaning of China classics as the revelation of Christianity, while rejecting the traditional Confucian classics. And the Jesuits adopted the rationalism method in The Four Books of Western Languages (1687) to coordinate the western rationalism with Confucianism. Through the parallel comparison of the two concepts, it is very intuitive to show how these two explanations are rooted in different theological traditions, which leads to the two sides taking opposite positions in Chinese etiquette disputes.

Wu Rui: A Textual Research on the Origin of Oriental Etiquette in Shakespeare’s Plays

Wu Rui, a researcher at Shanghai Theatre Academy, gave a report on the Origin and Development of Oriental Etiquette in Shakespeare’s Plays. He pointed out that Shakespeare’s works involved a lot of oriental content and oriental protagonists, such as Cleopatra, Othello, and Shylock. According to textual research, the main drama conflicts in Romeo and Juliet also came from the legends of two rival families in the East. By exploring the origins of oriental rituals in Shakespeare’s plays, we can provide a path for the orientalization of Shakespeare’s plays.

Wang Qiyuan: Xu Guangqi’s Legacy in Shanghai and Its Contemporary Significance

In the report entitled "Xu Guangqi’s Legacy in Shanghai and Its Contemporary Significance", Wang Qiyuan, an associate researcher at Fudan University’s Chinese Ancient Books Protection Institute, thinks that, as a first-rate figure who walked out of Shanghai in modern national history, if these places in Shanghai related to Xu Guangqi can’t be fully studied and developed, it is indeed a slight violation of the actions of the sages. Therefore, he made an in-depth investigation of Xu Guangqi’s legacy in Shanghai through the publication of a large number of local documents such as the "Shanghai Fu County Old Records Series" compiled by Shanghai Local Records Office and Tongzhi Museum.

Du Wenwei: On the Mutual Influence of Eastern and Western Cultures from the 90-year History of The Story of Grey Lan

Professor Du Wenwei, with the theme of "Looking at the Interaction between Eastern and Western Cultures from the 90-year History of Grey Lan Ji", systematically combed the spread and evolution process of Yuan zaju "Grey Lan Ji", and concentrated on analyzing the theme changes of "Grey Lan Ji" through various stage adaptations. He pointed out that the spreading history and the changing process of the theme reflected the mutual influence between the themes of eastern and western cultures and drama theory, and in this long-term mutual influence process, The Story of the Grey Lanji not only became a historical drama that was performed circularly on the eastern and western stages, but also spawned some modern dramas.

The results of this workshop are quite fruitful, and the teachers and students attending the workshop have had a heated discussion, which has made a great breakthrough in the paradigm and content of promoting the study of "Chinese etiquette dispute". I believe that there will be significant progress in the near future, and a brand-new and in-depth "Nakanishi Rei study" is taking shape. In December 2018, the Center for Comparative Literature and World Literature, a national key discipline of Shanghai Normal University, held the first forum of "Interdisciplinary Dialogue and Parallel Research", which aroused widespread concern in academic circles. On the basis of the first forum, this workshop is another academic grand meeting with the innovative mode of "interdisciplinary dialogue and parallel research", thus further contributing to the construction of the first-class discipline of China Language and Literature in Shanghai Normal University and making new contributions to the academic innovation of humanities in China.

In terms of research paradigm, scholars’ research shows that the academic discussion on "Chinese etiquette dispute" is starting from the field of history and turning into the fields of literature, philosophy, culturology and religion, showing a trend of multi-paradigm transformation; In terms of research content, the series of results of this workshop also show that the series of debates between Chinese and Western civilizations are ostensibly centered around "Chinese and Western etiquette", which is behind the differences and dislocation of the core concepts of the two heterogeneous civilizations, namely "keywords". These studies can be done from point to area, with a clear sense of problems, and provide important reference for the current in-depth exchanges and dialogues between China and foreign countries.

As of 8: 00 on August 6, the earthquake in Pingyuan County, Shandong Province has caused 126 houses to collapse and 21 people were injured.

  CCTV News:According to @ Shandong Emergency Management Weibo, according to the official measurement by China Seismological Network (Shandong Seismological Network), an earthquake of magnitude 5.5 occurred in Pingyuan County, Dezhou City, Shandong Province (37.16 degrees north latitude and 116.34 degrees east longitude) at 2: 33: 59 Beijing time on August 6, 2023, with a focal depth of 10 kilometers. The epicenter was located near Wangdagua Village, Wangdagua Town, Pingyuan County, Dezhou City. At present, the earthquake relief work is in full swing.

  At 3: 40 on August 6, Shandong Earthquake Relief Headquarters launched a three-level emergency response to earthquake relief. The Shandong Earthquake Relief Headquarters sent a steering group led by the responsible comrades of the Provincial Emergency Department and the Provincial Seismological Bureau to the scene. Provincial earthquake disaster rescue teams, medical rescue teams, etc. have assembled for standby, and coordinated local garrison troops, armed police forces and fire rescue teams to participate in earthquake relief nearby. The Seismological Bureau of Shandong Province held a joint video conference with China Seismological Network Center, and analyzed that it is unlikely that a bigger earthquake will occur in the original epicenter after the earthquake.

  According to the China Seismological Network Express, as of 6: 00 on the 6th, 56 aftershocks were recorded, including 1 aftershock of magnitude 3.0 and above and 55 aftershocks of magnitude 3.0 and below.

  As of 8: 00 on the 6th, a total of 126 houses were damaged to varying degrees and 21 people were injured (20 in Dezhou and 1 in Liaocheng). At present, the infrastructure such as hydropower and communication in the earthquake zone is normal, and other relevant information is still under investigation.

The National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention said that the epidemic situation in COVID-19 may rebound around the Spring Festival, and the harm of new strains will be explained in detail.

Lian Junxiang and Xu Hanyi recently held a press conference in the State Council Press Office. The relevant person in charge of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention said that due to the sharp increase in personnel flow during Spring Festival travel rush, it is expected that the epidemic situation in COVID-19 may rebound to some extent before and after the Spring Festival, and many respiratory diseases will continue to appear alternately or jointly in many parts of the country.

So, what is the toxicity of the new strain JN.1 in COVID-19? Will influenza and COVID-19 cross-infect?

one

The number of people infected with JN.1 strain in China is increasing.

According to the data of China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of cases in COVID-19 increased from the end of last year to the beginning of this year.

On January 6th, this year, the number of newly confirmed cases exceeded 10,000 for the first time, reaching 10,684. The number of positive detections in the last week has increased significantly.

At present, the mainstream strain is still EG.5 and its subfamilies, but the number of people infected with the latest JN.1 strain is increasing. As Spring Festival travel rush is coming, the epidemic of the virus may still be variable.

2

The mortality of new strains in COVID-19 is not high.

So, how harmful is the latest JN.1?

According to the global data, the spread of Covid-19 JN.1 is rapid, but the risk has not improved.

JN.1 is a second-generation subfamily of Omicron BA.2.86 mutant, which was first detected in Luxemburg at the end of August last year.

According to the latest data from GISAID, JN.1 began to spread around the world in November last year, and it took only one month to become the global mainstream strain, accounting for 50% of the new cases every day. At present, this proportion has exceeded 70% and spread to at least 59 countries and regions around the world.

The rapid transmission is also reflected in the level of virus activity in wastewater. The higher the value of this indicator, the wider the spread of the virus.

According to the data of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (hereinafter referred to as CDC), the concentration level of Covid-19 in wastewater in the United States was 12.85 in the week of December 30th, reaching the second highest level in history since the outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic in the United States.

According to relevant scholars, compared with the previous Covid-19, JN.1 virus has acquired a key new mutation, so its spreading ability is stronger.

Judging from the hospitalization and mortality, the influence of JN.1 did not exceed that of the previous strain.

According to the data of CDC in the United States, in the week of January 6th, there were 35,800 new hospitalized applicants in COVID-19, with an average of about 11 per 100,000 people.

Although the trend has increased, it is not too serious compared with the previous peak. At the beginning of 2022, the number of people applying for hospitalization in the United States due to Covid-19 infection peaked at about 45.5 per 100,000 people, which is 4.4 times of the current level.

Judging from the death situation, the number of people who died of COVID-19 infection in the United States is decreasing.

In the week of January 6th, the number of people who died of Covid-19 infection was 0.3 per 100,000 people. Last year’s peak was 1.2/ 100,000 people, which is also about four times the current level.

If compared with 2020, the gap is bigger, about 26 times as much as the current one.

three

It is unlikely that influenza will merge with COVID-19.

At present, the positive rate of influenza virus detection in China has declined, but among them, the proportion of B-stream is increasing, and the proportion of mixed infection is increasing recently. It may be infected at the same time, or it may be that "A stream is just right and B stream is recruited".

According to the data of China National Influenza Center, in the first week of 2024, the proportion of mixed infection increased to 36%, compared with only 12.4% a month ago.

With the spread of JN.1, will people who have had the flu still be infected with COVID-19?

Judging from the research data, it is possible, but the proportion is not high.

According to a paper published two years ago by scholars from the University of Aix-Marseille, 54 related studies around the world were collected and analyzed, including the data of about 18,000 patients infected with COVID-19.

The results showed that only 0.7% of the patients were co-infected with COVID-19 and influenza, that is to say, only about 140 of the 18,000 patients were co-infected with Covid-19 and influenza virus.

But compared with B-stream, A-stream is more likely to be infected with COVID-19.

The data showed that among 143 patients with concurrent infection, 74% were infected with influenza A, 20% were infected with influenza B, and only one patient was infected with three viruses at the same time, with a low probability. Refined to the age of patients, children are more likely to be infected than adults.

The data shows that the proportion of children with infection is 3.2%, which is about 10 times as much as that of adult patients (0.3%).

four

Complicated with infection or aggravated illness

Although the possibility of concurrent infection is very low, once infected, it may aggravate the condition.

As early as 2021, the national key experiment of virology found that in the experimental mice, co-infection would cause more cells and tissues in the body to be attacked by the virus, which would lead to more serious lung pathological reactions, a large number of cell infiltration and obvious alveolar necrosis [2].

From the comparison of patients’ data, co-infection does lead to more serious symptoms of patients.

According to the paper published by Nanjing Medical University in 2022 [3], compared with patients infected with COVID-19 alone, patients with combined infection are more likely to need a ventilator, and the risk is 2.31 times that of patients infected with alone.

Among them, the risk of using a ventilator with COVID-19 and H1N1 infection is higher, which is 5.04 times that of single infection.

Symptoms mainly focus on respiratory complications, such as acute hypoxic respiratory failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome, heart injury and acute kidney injury.

Not only that, patients with infection are also more likely to live in ICU.

Research shows that [3], the risk of patients with co-infection staying in ICU is 2.09 times that of patients with single infection.

According to the paper published in the International Journal of Epidemiology in 2021 [4], in the face of co-infection, the elderly population is more likely to be seriously ill and more likely to cause life-threatening.

For example, among patients aged 50-59, 60% were admitted to ICU after infection, while the proportion of single infection was 24%. In patients aged 80 and above, the proportion of death after infection was 66.7%, which was also higher than that of single infection (46.5%).

However, co-infection may not increase the risk of death. Studies have shown that [3], there is no significant correlation between co-infection status and death.

Including the elderly, children and high-risk groups with basic diseases, it is necessary to pay attention to timely differential diagnosis and take related drugs after symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection, so as to alleviate symptoms, shorten the course of disease and reduce the risk of severe illness and hospitalization.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology went out to interview the three major operators and demanded that the rights and interests of users be effectively protected.

Today, many old operators want to switch to more favorable packages, but they can’t. Today, Wen Ku, Director of the Information and Communication Development Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, responded that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has interviewed the three major operators on this matter, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology requires enterprises to take measures. Unless otherwise agreed in the contract between the two parties, users should not be restricted in their tariff options..

The three major operators have indicated that they will strictly implement the relevant regulations issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and properly handle the problem of restricting the choice of packages by old users. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will pay close attention to the progress of this situation and effectively protect the rights and interests of users.

Recently, many netizens revealed on social platforms that China Unicom will open the old package to self-service package, which can be freely upgraded to Internet packages such as Tencent Dawang Card and Ant Bao Card. China Unicom responded to the reporter of national business daily that Unicom’s existing online and physical channel business processing system has no business processing entrance related to Internet packages, which means that old users have not been supported to switch to Internet packages at will.

However, judging from the reaction of some netizens, some Unicom business halls have taken the lead in supporting old users to freely transfer to Internet packages, but they need to go to the business hall in person. I believe that online self-service should not be far away from us.

The following is the full text of Wen Ku, Director of the Information and Communication Development Department:

China national radio reporter:

Recently, many users have reported that they hope to get access to the Internet package from an economical point of view, because the Internet package can automatically upgrade old users to more favorable new packages, but on the contrary, the operator’s traffic package can’t do this, and automatic product iteration can’t be carried out. Is there any further policy to promote ordinary people to enjoy more new benefits, or is it possible to introduce some policies that allow users to switch between the operator’s package and the Internet package independently?

Wen Ku:

Thanks for asking. We have also noticed the problem you have just reflected in our work, and we have also seen many users report this problem to us. After receiving these feedback from users, we immediately interviewed three enterprises and asked them to take measures to limit users’ tariff options unless otherwise agreed in the contract between the two parties. Here we put forward clear requirements for the three enterprises:

First, enterprises are required to strictly follow the document No.630 issued by the former Ministry in 2006, which is a notice on guaranteeing the option of mobile phone users’ tariff plans, and there is a notice document behind it, which is a notice on the implementation of market-adjusted tariffs for telecommunications services. These two documents have a clear description of this issue. We hope that the three enterprises will strictly follow this document, and will not introduce schemes that restrict old users’ choice of tariffs, and require enterprises to sort out the existing tariff schemes, and rectify them immediately if there is any behavior that restricts users’ choice of tariffs.

Second, enterprises are required to properly handle user-related complaints, and actively communicate and solve the package change requirements put forward by users. For some packages launched in cooperation with third-party Internet companies, enterprises say that they need system transformation, and at present, old users can not directly handle them online. We require basic telecommunications enterprises to provide convenience for users and handle the package change related procedures for users through manual processing.

Third, enterprises are required to make it clear that there is a timetable for the transformation plan of the Internet-related package system, which should be announced to the public in time to realize direct online handling for old users as soon as possible.

After our interview and communication, the three basic telecommunications companies all indicated that they would strictly implement the relevant regulations we have issued and properly handle the problem of restricting the choice of packages for old users. We will pay close attention to the progress of this situation in the future to effectively protect the rights and interests of users.

Thank you.

The Ministry of Commerce held a press conference to introduce the development of China’s foreign trade.

peakDear journalists and friends, good morning. Welcome to the regular press conference of the Ministry of Commerce. Today, I first have four pieces of information that I need to take the initiative to inform you.

I. Development of China’s foreign trade from January to May this year.

Since the beginning of this year, China’s foreign trade development has continued to maintain a steady and positive trend, and its quality and efficiency have been further improved.

It mainly has the following characteristics: from the international market, China’s import and export to traditional markets such as the United States, the European Union, Japan and Hong Kong increased by 5.3%, 7.3%, 4.5% and 6.8% respectively. Imports and exports to countries along the "Belt and Road" increased by 11.1%, which was 2.3 percentage points higher than the overall growth rate; Imports and exports to ASEAN increased by 11.9%, which was 3.1 percentage points higher than the overall growth rate. The country markets with rapid growth are Russia, Indonesia, Vietnam, etc., with growth rates of 18%, 16.5% and 24.4% respectively.

From the perspective of commodity structure, the structure of export products has been continuously optimized. The export of mechanical and electrical products was 3.61 trillion yuan, up 7.9%, 2.4 percentage points higher than the overall growth rate, and the proportion increased by 1.3 percentage points to 58.8%. Some imported commodities achieved rapid growth, and the total import value of 10 categories of bulk commodities such as natural gas, crude oil and coal increased by 10.9%.

From the perspective of business entities, foreign-funded enterprises are still an important force in China’s foreign trade development, with the proportion of private enterprises growing steadily and the import and export of state-owned enterprises developing healthily. The import and export of private enterprises was 4.52 trillion yuan, an increase of 11.7%, accounting for 1 percentage point higher than that of the previous year to 38.9%, and it continued to maintain its position as the largest export business entity; The import and export of state-owned enterprises was 2.11 trillion yuan, up by 13.8%, accounting for 18.1% of China’s total foreign trade.

The foreign investment of the three northeastern provinces was US$ 1.43 billion, an increase of 88.2% over the same period of last year.

Fourth, there are many newly signed large-scale projects for foreign contracted projects, which plays an obvious role in promoting exports. From January to May, there were 274 projects with newly signed contracts worth more than 50 million US dollars, totaling 73.08 billion US dollars, accounting for 85.5% of the total newly signed contracts. Foreign contracted projects drove the export of goods to 7.54 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 25.7%.

The actual amount of foreign investment in ASEAN increased by 38.9% year-on-year; Investment in countries along the Belt and Road increased by 38.8% year-on-year.

Four, about the situation of China’s cultural trade in the first four months of this year.

From January to April 2018, China’s cultural trade and investment grew steadily, and the total import and export of cultural products and services reached US$ 36.96 billion, a year-on-year increase of 13.5%. Among them, the total import and export of cultural products was US$ 25.51 billion, a year-on-year increase of 9%; The total import and export of cultural services was US$ 11.45 billion, up 25.1% year-on-year.

The export of cultural products to "BRIC countries" such as Brazil, Russia, India and South Africa reached 1.34 billion US dollars, up 35.2% year-on-year.

The above is the information I need to inform you on my own initiative, and I would like to answer the questions raised by journalists and friends below. Please ask questions below.

CCTV journalistPlease tell us what consensus, achievements and highlights the SCO Qingdao Summit has reached in economic and trade cooperation.

peakThe Qingdao Summit of the SCO has achieved many achievements in the economic and trade field, which has injected new impetus into regional economic cooperation. Mainly reflected in the following three aspects:

First, continue to promote trade facilitation in the region. During the summit, the heads of member countries jointly issued the Joint Statement on Trade Facilitation, which will promote the process of trade facilitation among member countries and promote the growth of trade by simplifying customs procedures, reducing import and export procedures and improving transparency. The SCO countries actively participate in and support the China International Import Expo to be held in Shanghai in November this year, which will build a strong cooperation platform for expanding inter-regional trade.

The second is to increase efforts to support the cooperation of SMEs. All parties stressed the importance of strengthening cooperation in e-commerce, developing service industry and service trade, and supporting the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, and jointly signed a memorandum of understanding to promote cooperation among small and medium-sized enterprises. By supporting exhibition forums and organizing seminars and training, they will promote cooperation among small and medium-sized enterprises in various countries in e-commerce, innovative research and development, and stimulate the potential of regional economic cooperation.

The third is to issue a common voice in support of the multilateral trading system. In the Qingdao Declaration, the heads of member states emphasized their support for improving the global economic governance system, consolidating the multilateral trading system and safeguarding the authority and effectiveness of the World Trade Organization, and issued a unanimous voice against the fragmentation of international trade relations and trade protectionism. Thank you.

Central Radio and Television General Station Yang Guang reporterOn the issue of the Qingdao Summit of the SCO, we have noticed that the Chairman of the Supreme Leader mentioned that he supports the construction of a demonstration zone for local economic and trade cooperation of the Shanghai, China Cooperation Organization in Qingdao. What specific functions will this demonstration zone undertake? What’s the goal? What are the main areas of cooperation with SCO member States?

peakEconomic and trade cooperation is an important engine for the development of the SCO. Building a demonstration zone of China-SCO local economic and trade cooperation in Qingdao is to give full play to Qingdao’s geographical advantages and the functional advantages of land-sea combined transport, and to build a new platform for economic and trade cooperation between China and SCO countries. At present, Qingdao is working with relevant departments to further improve the work plan of the demonstration zone, initially considering exploring the mode of two-way interaction at home and abroad, focusing on developing modern service industries such as trade logistics and cross-border e-commerce, and promoting trade and investment cooperation among SCO countries and regions. At the same time, through the demonstration construction of local economic and trade cooperation, China enterprises are encouraged to actively participate in the construction of overseas economic and trade cooperation parks in other SCO countries, carry out cooperation in processing and assembly, agriculture, logistics and other fields, explore convenient customs clearance modes, and build a service platform for two-way trade and investment.

We will actively support the construction of Qingdao Demonstration Zone and promote the pragmatic economic and trade cooperation among SCO countries to achieve new results. Thank you.

Guoguang reporter from Central Radio and Television General StationPresident Supreme Leader and President Putin held the first meeting between the two heads of state this year in Beijing on the 8 th. What achievements have the two sides made in the economic and trade field during the meeting? What role will it play in promoting bilateral economic and trade relations in the future?

peakDuring the meeting between the heads of state of China and Russia, China and Russia reached a number of important consensuses on pragmatic economic and trade cooperation, signed a series of pragmatic cooperation documents and achieved fruitful results.

With regard to the connection between the Belt and Road Initiative and the Eurasian Economic Union, the two sides signed the Joint Statement on Completing the Joint Feasibility Study of the Eurasian Economic Partnership Agreement, and will hold consultations on issues related to service trade, investment, e-commerce, economic and technological cooperation, small and medium-sized enterprises and trade in goods in the future negotiations of the Eurasian Economic Partnership Agreement. This will help to promote the establishment of a comprehensive, high-level trade and investment liberalization arrangement in Europe and Asia that will be open to other economies in the future.

In terms of trade and investment, the two sides signed the Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation in the Field of E-commerce, and agreed to set up an e-commerce cooperation working group to strengthen cooperation in policies and regulations, information exchange, local cooperation, joint research and e-commerce platforms. It will create favorable conditions for the development of cross-border e-commerce trade between the two countries. In addition, the two sides also signed the Memorandum of Understanding on Strengthening Investment Cooperation, agreeing to promote the implementation of key investment cooperation projects and support small and medium-sized enterprises to strengthen investment cooperation.

In terms of strategic large-scale projects, the two sides signed seven documents on four projects in the nuclear field, and decided to cooperate on major projects such as demonstration fast reactors. This is by far the largest cooperation project in the nuclear field between the two countries, which will strongly promote bilateral trade and industrial cooperation. In the space field, the two sides signed the Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation in the Field of Moon and Deep Space Exploration. In the field of transportation, the two sides signed an intergovernmental agreement on international road transport, which will further promote the facilitation of international road transport.

Generally speaking, the economic and trade achievements reached during the meeting between the heads of state of China and Russia are fruitful, which fully reflects the close economic and trade relations between the two countries and lays a solid foundation for the level of economic and trade cooperation between the two countries to reach a new level in the new era. Thank you.

Economic information daily reporter】 At the beginning of June, the the State Council executive meeting decided to substantially reduce the tariffs on imported goods, including washing machines and refrigerators. I would like to ask the Ministry of Commerce, this year is 40 years of reform and opening up. What will be the next step in increasing exports?

peakWhile actively expanding imports, we will also strive to promote exports, promote superior import and export of foreign trade, and achieve balanced development.

As we all know, export has been an important driving force of the national economy for 40 years since the reform and opening up, and it is known as one of the "Troika" and plays an irreplaceable role in China’s economic development and industrial upgrading. Since 2009, China has become the world’s largest exporter of goods.

In the new era, China’s economy has entered a stage of high-quality development, and exports are also facing the problem of high-quality development. In the next step, China’s export development will not simply pursue scale and speed, but pay more attention to quality and efficiency. In terms of endogenous motivation, we will focus on cultivating new advantages in export competition, no longer at the expense of resources and environment, nor simply relying on low-cost human resources, but highlighting new core competitiveness such as technology, brand and service. In terms of export market, we will continue to promote market diversification, increase the development of emerging markets, and meet the diversified needs of different markets.

In short, we will strive to promote the transformation of China’s exports from scale and speed to quality and efficiency, and continue to play a role in promoting the high-quality development of the national economy. Thank you.

Shanghai securities news reporterLast Friday, the customs released the import and export data for May, which showed that the trade surplus of goods in the first five months reached 99.67 billion US dollars, and the data released earlier by the Ministry of Commerce showed that the deficit of service trade in the first four months had reached 88.24 billion US dollars. Therefore, some analysts say that the deficit of service trade may exceed the surplus of goods trade from January to May, and the deficit of service trade in the whole year may exceed $300 billion. May I ask the spokesman, what do you think of the expanding trend of the current service trade deficit? What specific measures will the Ministry of Commerce take to promote the development of service trade?

peakThe trade situation is closely related to a country’s industrial development level and market demand. At present, the development of China’s service trade conforms to the universal law of international economic and trade development, and also reflects the level and stage of China’s economic development.

From the international experience, it is a universal law that there is a service trade deficit in the process of transformation of manufacturing powers. I have a set of figures here: since statistics were available in 1980, the service trade between Japan and Germany has been in deficit for 36 consecutive years. In 1999, Germany’s service trade deficit reached a peak of $60 billion, accounting for 27% of that year’s service trade. In 1990, Japan’s service trade deficit accounted for 34% of service trade. It is predicted that in the next few years, China’s service trade deficit will still expand, and it may develop to a certain extent before it gradually narrows.

Domestically, the service trade deficit is the result of the dual needs of China’s industrial transformation and upgrading and residents’ consumption upgrading. As China’s economy enters the stage of high-quality development, the demand for high-quality service trade products is also increasing. For example, in certain industries such as intellectual property, the demand is increasing rapidly, and the trade deficit is also expanding. On the one hand, it shows that China’s market potential is huge; on the other hand, it should be noted that the overall competitiveness of China’s service industry is still far behind that of developed countries.

In the next step, we will take promoting the healthy development of service trade as an important part of building a trade power, better promote the overall development of the national economy in the new era, and meet consumers’ demand for high-quality services.

First, actively promote pilot demonstrations from point to area. On the basis of summing up the pilot experience, we will promote the relevant experience to the whole country as soon as possible. The second is to cultivate new formats and models and accelerate the digitalization of service trade. Third, build the national brand of "China Service" and cultivate China’s own comprehensive service providers. We hope that through efforts, China’s service trade will be upgraded in scale, its structure will be continuously optimized, and its competitiveness will be continuously enhanced, thus forming a new competitive advantage of China’s open economy in the new era. Thank you.

China news service reporterWe noticed that China’s foreign trade continued to grow at a high level in May. Some analysts believe that the effect of export preemption before the United States imposed tariffs on China was obvious. What do you think of this issue?

peakIn the first five months of this year, China’s foreign trade continued to maintain a stable and positive trend and achieved steady and rapid development, which was the result of the joint action of many factors. First, the demand in the international market is picking up. Since the beginning of this year, the international economy has continued on the track of recovery. According to the forecast of the World Trade Organization, the growth of global trade volume will reach 4.4% in 2018, exceeding the growth rate of the global economy for two consecutive years. Secondly, the core competitiveness of China’s foreign trade is constantly increasing. Despite the pressure of rising factor costs, the transfer of some industries and the competition from other economies, China’s foreign trade is still actively transformed and upgraded under the impetus of the market, and its competitiveness is constantly improved in many aspects such as product quality, grade, brand and service. Third, the rapid growth of imports has also driven the overall growth of foreign trade. With the release of consumption potential in the domestic market and the rising prices of some commodities, China’s imports increased by 12.6% in the first five months of this year, driving the growth of overall foreign trade.

As for the phenomenon of grabbing exports due to your concern about changes in the trade environment, according to our understanding, there are such cases, and some enterprises have increased the number of short orders to avoid risks. But this is not the mainstream and will not affect the steady and healthy development of China’s foreign trade. We will continue to work hard to create a trade environment conducive to transformation and high-quality development for enterprises. Thank you. Here’s the last question.

Macao Australia Asia TV reporterForeign media reported that the French Prime Minister will visit China at the end of the month. Would you please tell us about the current economic and trade situation between China and France? I’d also like to ask you to introduce the consultation plan on WTO reform submitted by France to China. How will China and France jointly speak out against trade protectionism?

peakWith regard to Sino-French economic and trade cooperation, since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France, bilateral economic and trade cooperation has developed steadily. In March 2014, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader paid a successful state visit to France, which ushered in a new era of close and lasting comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries. Bilateral economic and trade relations accelerated in an all-round way and gradually formed an all-round, wide-ranging and multi-level cooperation pattern. At present, France is China’s fourth largest trading partner, the fourth largest source of actual investment, the third largest investment destination and the second largest technology importer in the EU. China is the largest trading partner of France in Asia. In 2017, the bilateral trade volume between China and France reached US$ 54.46 billion, up 15.4% year-on-year, of which China exported US$ 27.67 billion, up 12.1% year-on-year and imported US$ 26.79 billion, up 19.1% year-on-year. In the first four months of this year, the bilateral trade volume between China and France reached US$ 18.64 billion, up 22.5% year-on-year, of which China exported US$ 9.34 billion, up 16.9% year-on-year. China imported 9.3 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 28.7%. The cooperation between the two sides in energy, aviation, pension, environmental protection, finance and other fields is increasingly close.

At present, China has not received the French consultation plan on the reform of the World Trade Organization. As an important member of the European Union, France has always actively supported free trade and opposed trade protectionism. China is willing to make joint efforts with France to safeguard the multilateral trading system, oppose trade protectionism and promote the sustained and healthy development of trade liberalization and economic globalization.

Today’s press conference is over, thank you.

The Laojun Mountain Scenic Area in Henan Province built a pavilion for the boss, and the employees were required to recite the Tao Te Ching in the year-end assessment.

On December 19th, the official name of Laojunshan Eco-tourism Development Co., Ltd. in Henan Province was "Laojunshan Scenic Area", and the glorious course exhibition hall of Chairman Yang of Laojunshan Wenlv Group was grandly opened! "The article. As soon as this article came out, netizens questioned that "it is too high-profile for the scenic spot to build a glorious course exhibition hall for its boss". In this regard, a staff member surnamed Tan of the administrative office of the scenic spot responded to the cover journalist and said: "This incident is purely a staff error, misunderstood and released the wrong information. At present, the article has been deleted."

"Chairman Yang" is the chairman of the board of directors of Laojunshan Cultural Tourism Group Co., Ltd. in Henan Province. Netizens call him the boss of Laojunshan Scenic Area, and in March this year, he won the "Outstanding Henan People Model". In 2020, on the 13th anniversary of the establishment of the Group, Yang Zhisen was proud of the 700-fold growth rate of scenic spot income. Not long ago, during the 2021 annual assessment of all employees, the scenic spot added a compulsory subject recited by Tao Te Ching. This move was praised by Yang Zhisen, "fully affirming the assessment methods and contents".

Yang Zhisen won the title of "Outstanding Henan Model"

The scenic spot repairs the exhibition hall for the boss?

The company said that Xiaobian misunderstood the deleted article.

The Glorious Course Exhibition Hall of Chairman Yang of Laojunshan Wenlv Group was grandly opened! The screenshot of the article shows, "On the morning of December 19th, the exhibition hall of Chairman Yang’s glorious history of Laojunshan Wenlv Group was grandly opened at 10:00 a.m.", "All the staff entered the museum under the leadership of General Counsel Zhang Ji and saw Chairman Yang’s entrepreneurial history and development history", accompanied by photos visited by relevant leaders. At the scene, "President Yang delivered a speech, thanking the planners and producers for their hard work".

The cover journalist noticed that in the picture of the article, there are indeed "glorious history", "entrepreneurial life" and "a glimpse of the years" in the exhibition hall involving Yang Zhisen’s personal content. Related articles also revealed that the opening ceremony was attended by Gong Xiaoxiao, Chairman of Luanchuan County Federation of Literary and Art Circles, Yang Haibo, Vice Chairman of Luanchuan County Political Consultative Conference, Jin Qingxiu, Chairman of Luoyang Funiushan Cultural Tourism Development Co., Ltd., Liang Xiaobing and Daniel Wei, designers of the exhibition hall, all middle and high-level officials of Laojunshan Cultural Tourism Group, and party member cadres.

As soon as this article came out, it immediately caused netizens to question that "it is too high-profile for the scenic spot to build a personal exhibition hall for its boss."

In response to this matter, a staff member surnamed Tan of the Administrative Office of Laojunshan Scenic Area responded to the cover journalist and said: "This matter is purely a mistake in the work of WeChat WeChat official account Xiaobian, and it was misunderstood and released the wrong information." The staff explained, "The exhibition hall is not the personal exhibition hall of President Yang, but the exhibition room of the 15-year development history of Laojun Mountain Scenic Area. It is only 40 square meters in the office area of the scenic area, and there is no plaque, no listing and it is not open to the public. At present, the wrongly published article has been deleted. "

There are words "glorious course" and "entrepreneurial life" in the exhibition hall.

Donated over 30 million yuan.

This year, he won the "Outstanding Henan People Model"

On March 18th, Guan Hongde, Deputy Director of the United Front Work Department of Luanchuan County Committee and Party Secretary of the County Federation of Industry and Commerce, on behalf of the Henan Federation of Industry and Commerce and the Henan General Chamber of Commerce, presented Yang Zhisen, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Laojunshan Scenic Area, with the honorary card of "Outstanding Henan People".

According to local articles published from the media, Yang Zhisen has been "fully involved and personally involved" in scenic spot planning, project construction, marketing activity planning and scenic spot system formulation for more than ten years. "He has been awarded the honorary titles of Henan Model Worker, Luoyang Special Contribution Award and Luanchuan Tourism Hero".

According to the information released by Luanchuan County Culture, Radio, Film and Tourism Bureau in 2019, "Yang Zhisen, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Henan Laojunshan Wenlv Group Co., Ltd. and Secretary of the Party Branch of the scenic spot … He has repaid the society, arranged more than 1,350 poor villagers for employment and donated more than 30 million yuan to build bridges, roads and schools. Since 2013 alone, 100 poor college students have been funded every year, with a total funding of 1.45 million yuan. "

According to local media reports, in 2000, Luanchuan County decided to take Laojun Mountain as the leading tourism development in Luanchuan. Since then, Laojun Mountain Scenic Area has raised more than 28 million yuan. However, due to the imperfect mechanism, the operation of the scenic area was once in trouble, and its income was far from meeting the construction expenditure. Eventually, the capital chain was broken, resulting in the problems that the construction of tourism service facilities could not keep up and the scenic spot grade was low.

In 2007, Luanchuan county put forward the development strategy of "industry feeds back tourism". As a well-known entrepreneur in Luanchuan county, Yang Zhisen joined the team of industry feeding back tourism. In August 2007, Ruifeng Industry and Trade Co., Ltd. in Luanchuan County operated by Yang Zhisen signed a cooperation investment and development agreement with Laojunshan Forest Farm, and registered and established Laojunshan Eco-tourism Development Co., Ltd. in Henan Province to engage in the development, operation and management of Laojunshan Scenic Area.

Yang Zhisen’s honorary certificate of "Outstanding Henan People’s Model"

The boss said that the income increased by 700 times.

At the end of the year, employees are required to recite the Tao Te Ching.

"Thirteen years of development and construction, more than ten years of careful construction and more than 15 billion yuan of capital investment have made the construction of hardware facilities in Laojunshan basically in place." In August, 2020, the official platform of Laojun Mountain Scenic Area released "Speech by Yang Zhisen, Chairman of the Board of Directors, on the 13th anniversary of the establishment of Laojunshan Wenlv Group", saying that after 13 years of construction, Laojun Mountain Scenic Area has realized the reception capacity of more than 40,000 people, "truly showing the leading position of a new atmospheric scenic spot".

In this "speech", Yang Zhisen is proud of the "achievements" made by the scenic spot over the years. Yang Zhisen said that more than 10 years ago, the annual income of the scenic spot was less than 300,000 yuan, and by 2020, the income has reached more than 200 million yuan. He believes that "the growth rate of 700 times can be described as a 13-year-old naive teenager." According to media reports, in 2020, the scenic spot received 1.5 million tourists throughout the year, and its comprehensive income exceeded 300 million yuan.

The cover journalist found that in his daily work, Yang Zhisen paid special attention to the inheritance of "Laozi culture". In addition to leading a team to the Laozi Museum for investigation and study, he also asked the employees of the company to "learn and truly understand" the connotation of Laozi culture. These ideas have been "implemented" by Laojunshan Wenlv Group in the assessment of employees in scenic spots.

Since December, Laojunshan Wenlv Group has successively carried out the assessment and rating of all tour guides in the second half of 2021 and the assessment of all employees in 2021-reciting the Tao Te Ching, which became a compulsory subject for the first time, and the employees randomly selected chapters on the spot to recite. During the two assessments, Yang Zhisen went to the scene and delivered a speech, "fully affirming the assessment methods and contents".

At the beginning of November, Laojunshan Wenlv Group held a rectification work meeting.

Netizens listed five pits.

Said that I would never go to Laojun Mountain again in my life.

In 2018, some media visited Laojun Mountain Scenic Area in Luoyang and found that unlicensed tourist vehicles shuttled back and forth in the scenic area, public toilets were not cleaned, restaurants did not see business documents, and even tour guides clashed with passengers. Since then, some media have exposed that there is rubbish everywhere on the Jinding platform of the scenic spot because people gather to eat instant noodles, which has been vomited again by tourists and netizens: Is this consistent with the national 5A-level tourist scenic spot?

In January of this year, some netizens claimed to have traveled 1,000 kilometers to the Laojun Mountain scenic spot in Henan, and then vomited on social media, listing the "five pits" in the scenic spot, saying that "it will never come again in this life". These "pits" include: if it doesn’t snow, there is no sea of clouds, tickets and ropeways are extremely expensive, accommodation conditions on the top of the mountain are poor and there are few beds, and garbage can be seen everywhere in the scenic spot.

At the same time, some media have questioned the excessive marketing hype of Laojun Mountain Scenic Area, saying that in order to attract attention, the marketing hype is full of keywords such as "beauty", "Taoist", "ten thousand people" and "cliff". "It is understandable that the scenic spot carries out marketing promotion. However, it is really disgusting to speculate so frequently, so vulgar and so exaggerated. "

At the beginning of November this year, Laojunshan Wenlv Group held a meeting on rectification work, demanding centralized rectification of existing problems in scenic spots. Remediation items include: remediation of environmental sanitation along the scenic spot and environmental materials at various construction sites, delineation of business scope of scenic merchants, standardization of business behavior, unified identification and signs, standardization of traffic control and guidance in scenic spots, and continuous improvement of service quality.

The field of hope, the power to forge ahead —— On the overall revitalization of rural areas from the perspective of high-quality development of agriculture and rural areas

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, December 17thTitle: The field of hope, the power to forge ahead —— On the overall revitalization of rural areas from the perspective of high-quality development of agriculture and rural areas

Xinhua news agency reporter

Spring ploughing and summer ploughing, autumn harvest and winter storage. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, all localities and departments have continuously intensified their work on agriculture, rural areas and farmers this year, effectively overcoming the adverse factors such as severe floods in some places, achieving a bumper harvest of grain and steadily advancing the high-quality development of agriculture and rural areas.

The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out that "a strong country must first strengthen agriculture, and a strong agriculture can strengthen the country." Looking at the vast land of China, people have made unremitting efforts to speed up the construction of an agricultural power, comprehensively promote rural revitalization, and lay a solid foundation for building a socialist modern power.

Tamp the "ballast stone" of food security

After a winter snow, green wheat poked its head out of the snow in Shanying Village, Macun Town, Jiaxiang County, Shandong Province. Despite the temperature drop, Wanmin, a big grain grower after 00, is not too worried: "Just after watching the seedling situation, deep ploughing before winter has improved the quality of land preparation, plus sowing at the right time, winter irrigation to prevent freezing injury, and strong seedlings have a foundation for overwintering." In recent years, Jiaxiang County has promoted intelligent agricultural machinery, plant protection drones and other equipment, and integrated technologies such as conservation tillage and green prevention and control of pests and diseases, which has provided strong support for grain production.

This year, China implemented a new round of 100 billion Jin of grain production capacity improvement, continued to raise the minimum purchase price of wheat and rice, improved the subsidies for corn and soybean producers, implemented the responsibility of farmland protection and food security in various localities and departments, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs launched a large-scale unit yield improvement campaign for major crops such as grain and oil, and agricultural technicians gave in-depth guidance. Effectively overcome the rare "rotten rain" in Huanghuai and the severe local floods in northeast China, and the annual grain output has been stable at more than 1.3 trillion Jin for nine consecutive years … The grain harvest has laid the foundation for economic and social stability.

All localities have extended the grain industry chain, upgraded the value chain, built a supply chain, and constantly improved the quality, efficiency and competitiveness of agriculture.

In recent years, Yongfeng Rice in Yongfeng Village, Taihe Town, Meishan City, Sichuan Province has been favored by consumers. While making excellent rice brands, the local government has introduced Mi Lu with cream and popcorn with pure edge oil, and featured products have entered more people’s homes.

Green is the background color of agriculture. At the 37th China Plant Protection Information Exchange and Pesticide Machinery Fair held not long ago, nearly 1,000 enterprises participated in the exhibition, displaying and exchanging new technologies and products. The relevant person in charge of the National Agricultural Technology Extension Service Center said that agricultural development has entered a new stage of comprehensive green transformation, and it is necessary to further enhance the ability of plant protection, disaster prevention and mitigation, and provide strong support for ensuring national food security, agricultural product quality and safety, and ecological environment safety.

The coverage rate of improved varieties of crops is over 96%, the comprehensive mechanization rate of farming and harvesting reaches 73%, and the contribution rate of agricultural scientific and technological progress reaches 62.4% … China’s rice bowl is more secure and better, laying a solid foundation for building an agricultural power.

Take multiple measures to broaden the channels of increasing farmers’ income

In winter, Hu Ruiyun, a poverty-stricken household, is busy pruning fruit trees in the pear garden in Honglongji Village, wei county, Hebei Province. "10 acres of land at home have been transferred, and you can get 800 kilograms of wheat per acre every year, and you can earn more than 100 yuan a day in the pear garden." Hu Ruiyun said happily.

Zeng Yande, chief agronomist of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that by the end of the third quarter of this year, 63.5% of the monitored objects in 22 provinces in the central and western regions had eliminated the risk of returning to poverty, and the rest had implemented assistance measures.

All localities should develop characteristic industries, promote the steady employment of migrant workers, and do everything possible to broaden the channels for farmers to increase their income and get rich. Finger Lemon, Bird’s Nest Fruit and Mume Fruit … The "Window of the World Tropical Fruit" base in dalu town, qionghai city, Hainan, integrates fruit introduction and breeding, demonstration planting and popular science sightseeing. More than 100 people have achieved stable employment and studied technology here.

China’s rural industries to enrich the people have grown stronger. Statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics show that the per capita disposable income of rural residents in the first three quarters of this year was 15,705 yuan, a real increase of 7.3% after deducting the price factor. Comprehensively improve the quality of farmers, do a good job of "local products" according to local conditions, and all kinds of resource elements are constantly activated, driving the broad masses of farmers to live a prosperous life.

Not long ago, experts from the Cotton Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences came to Laoshan Town, Shawan City, Xinjiang to explain cotton cultivation, intelligent water and fertilizer integration and other technologies to help farmers improve their planting level. "In the future, we will send agricultural technicians here and organize on-site observation meetings to accelerate the promotion of modern agricultural technology." Li Yabing, a researcher at the Cotton Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said.

Accelerate the construction of a livable, suitable and beautiful country.

Strolling in wulong village, Liuzhi Special Zone, Guizhou Province, you are greeted with a picture scroll: characteristic houses built on the mountain, daisies swaying in the wind, stone troughs and stone mills bearing homesickness …

"The road is good, the village is clean, and the dry toilet has been changed into a flush toilet, which is convenient and hygienic." Villager Zhu Jingrong said happily. In the past two years, the village infrastructure has been upgraded and transformed, and the health habits of the people have changed greatly.

Wulong village is the epitome of rural construction in China. At present, the penetration rate of rural sanitary toilets in China exceeds 73%, and more than 95% of villages have carried out cleaning operations, and the village appearance has been continuously improved.

The efficiency of rural governance is also steadily improving. Since 2022, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has cooperated with Tencent to launch the "cultivator" revitalization plan, and provided free training for rural governance backbones and leaders of new agricultural management entities. More than one million people learn rural governance systems and measures such as the points system, the list system and the villagers’ saying things in the "Plowers for the Village" applet.

Farming civilization and urban civilization complement each other, and civilized rural style, good family style and simple folk customs are continuously passed down and carried forward.

"Knock, knock, knock …" In Yaoda Village, Chengzhong Town, Ningming County, Chongzuo City, Guangxi Province, the tourists had not yet stepped off the cruise ship when the clanging drums came from a distance. In the village at the foot of Huashan Rock Painting Mountain in Zuojiang, a world cultural heritage, Lv Ximei, a Zhuang villager, is a member of the bronze drum performance team: "The development of tourism in the village can not only increase income, but also pass on the bronze drum culture. I am very happy."

Accelerate the construction of a strong agricultural country, and build a livable and beautiful countryside … The fields of hope are full of hard work and struggle, and the broad masses of peasants and "three rural" workers make unremitting efforts to create a better life with hard work and sweat, and contribute to the construction of a socialist modernization power!

The central bank announced that bank loans are the main liabilities of urban residents’ "bottom children"

Total assets per household in each province

  How many assets do urban households in China have? How much debt is there? Is the household debt risk controllable? The latest investigation and study by the investigation and statistics department of the central bank gives the answer. On April 24th, WeChat official account, the official WeChat of China Finance magazine, published the research report "Survey on the Assets and Liabilities of Urban Households in China in 2019", which was written by the research group of the Survey and Statistics Department of the People’s Bank of China.

  In the middle and late October of 2019, the research group of assets and liabilities of urban households of the Survey and Statistics Department of the People’s Bank of China conducted an assets and liabilities survey on more than 30,000 urban households in 30 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government). This is one of the most complete and detailed surveys on the assets and liabilities of urban residents in China.

  According to the report, the three provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) with the highest household assets are Beijing, Shanghai and Jiangsu, among which the average household assets of Beijing residents are 8.928 million yuan.

  Family assets are mainly real estate.

  Every household has 1.5 suites.

  According to the survey data, the average total assets of urban households is 3.179 million yuan, and the median is 1.63 million yuan. The difference between the mean and the median is 1.549 million yuan.

  After deducting the assets from the liabilities, the net assets obtained can more truly reflect the wealth level of the households. According to the survey data, the average net worth of urban households in China is 2.89 million yuan. The median net worth of a family is 1.41 million yuan, which is 1.48 million yuan lower than the average.

  In terms of economic regions, the eastern region is significantly higher than other regions. The average total assets of households in the eastern region are 4.61 million yuan, which are 1.975 million yuan, 2.534 million yuan and 2.96 million yuan higher than those in the central, western and northeastern regions respectively.

  The survey shows that the household assets of urban residents in China are mainly physical assets, with an average of 2.53 million yuan, accounting for 80% of the total household assets.

  Of the physical assets, 74.2% are housing assets, and the average household housing assets are 1.878 million yuan. The proportion of residents’ housing assets to total household assets is 59.1%.

  The survey shows that the housing ownership rate of urban households in China is 96.0%, the proportion of households with one house is 58.4%, the proportion of households with two houses is 31.0%, the proportion of households with three or more houses is 10.5%, and the average household owns 1.5 houses. The overall housing ownership rate of American households is 63.7%, which is 32.3 percentage points lower than that of China.

  The more houses owned by urban households, the lower the proportion of housing assets in their household assets. The proportion of housing assets in the total assets of a family with one house is 64.3%, that of a family with two houses is 62.7%, and that of a family with three or more houses is 51.0%. This is mainly because families with multiple properties are more inclined to diversify their assets after solving their basic housing needs.

  Risk-free financial assets per household are 350,000 yuan.

  The total debt per household is 512,000 yuan.

  According to the survey, 99.7% of the families surveyed have financial assets, with an average financial asset of 649,000 yuan, accounting for 20.4% of the total family assets. Compared with the United States, the proportion of financial assets of urban households in China is low, which is 22.1 percentage points lower than that of the United States.

  The families are sorted by financial assets and physical assets from low to high. The financial assets owned by the families with the highest 10% financial assets account for 58.3% of all sample families, while the assets owned by the families with the highest 10% physical assets account for 47.1%. It can be seen that the imbalance of financial assets is more significant.

  The survey shows that the holding rate of risk-free financial assets in the surveyed families is 99.6%, and the average household is 352,000 yuan; The holding rate of risk financial assets is 59.6%, and the average household is 501,000 yuan. From the survey sample as a whole, the average household holds 350,000 yuan of risk-free financial assets, accounting for 53.9% of the total financial assets, which is higher than the risk-free financial assets.

  In terms of household liabilities, the survey shows that the proportion of households with liabilities is 56.5%. In terms of regions, the household debt participation rate in Northeast China is the lowest, accounting for 42.1%; 57.9% in the east and 55.7% in the middle; The highest in the western region is 60.1%.

  Among the indebted families, the total debt per household is 512,000 yuan. Among them, 53.8% households have a debt balance of less than 300,000 yuan, 35.6% households have a debt balance of 300,000 to 1 million yuan, and 10.5% households have a debt balance of more than 1 million yuan. The liabilities of urban households are mainly bank loans. Among households with debts, the average bank loan is 496,000 yuan, accounting for 96.8% of the total liabilities of households.

  The proportion of liabilities outside the banking system is low, only 3.2%, of which the average household liabilities of private loans and Internet financial products loans are 12,000 yuan and 0.1 million yuan respectively, accounting for 2.4% and 0.2% of the total household liabilities respectively.

  From the perspective of debt use, mortgage is the basic composition of household debt. Among the indebted households, 76.8% have housing loans, and the average household housing loan balance is 389,000 yuan, accounting for 75.9% of the total household liabilities.

  analyse

  The household debt risk is generally controllable.

  The report pointed out that the asset-liability ratio of urban households is generally stable and their solvency is generally strong.

  Overall, the asset-liability ratio of urban households in China is relatively low. The survey shows that the average asset-liability ratio of urban households in China is 9.1%, which is lower than that of the United States (12.1%). Among them, the average asset-liability ratio of indebted families is 14.8%, and the median is 15.8%.

  According to the report, the solvency of urban households in China is generally strong. According to the survey data, the average debt service income ratio of urban households is 18.4%, of which the mortgage debt service income ratio is 9.1%. The average debt service income ratio of indebted households is 29.5%, and the median is 26.7%.

  According to the results of the investigation, the research group puts forward two problems that need to be paid attention to. First, the financial asset-liability ratio of households is relatively high, and there is a certain liquidity risk. The survey shows that the financial asset-liability ratio of urban households in China is 44.6%, among which the average financial asset-liability ratio of indebted households is 85.3% and the median is 117.3%, and the financial asset-liability ratio of more than half of households exceeds 100%. It can be seen that although the overall asset-liability ratio of residents is stable, the liquidity of assets is poor and there is a certain liquidity risk.

  Second, the debt risk of some families is relatively high, mainly manifested in: some low-asset families are insolvent and the risk of default is high; Young and middle-aged groups have great debt pressure and high debt risk; There are many financial products such as wealth management, asset management and trust invested by the elderly groups, which are risky; The debt risk of just-needed mortgage families is outstanding.
