BEIJING, July 5 (Xinhua)-Confrontation and dialogue, conflict and compromise have always been two opposing and interdependent aspects in the international political arena. In the past six months in 2013, the global situation has been fluctuating, and there are many tense confrontations and dialogues that attract worldwide attention, from which we can find some threads of the development of the international situation.

　　The first US dollar dialogue: "No tie" lights up Sino-US diplomacy.

　　There is no 21-gun salute, no honor guard and welcoming ceremony, and there is no need to sit at the negotiating table … At the beginning of June this year, the meeting between the heads of state of China and the United States, unlike the previous "no tie", attracted the attention of Chinese people and the whole world.

　　On June 7-8, the Supreme Leader of president, China and US President Barack Obama met in California. This is the first face-to-face contact between the Chinese and American heads of state after the change of government.

　　The dialogue between the heads of state of China and the United States is very special. The meeting place was not the White House, but the picturesque California manor. The leaders of the two sides opened their shirts and collars without ties, saving all red tape. The "no tie" dialogue enabled the two heads of state to have heart-to-heart and in-depth exchanges on major issues in a relaxed and private environment.

　　In the two days, the time spent by the heads of state of China and the United States together exceeded eight hours. Diaoyu Island issue, South China Sea issue, cyber security, North Korean nuclear issue, economic cooperation … At this "no tie meeting", the two heads of state openly and frankly communicated and discussed many issues. The two sides not only talk about cooperation, but also avoid differences. The time, quality, depth and breadth of interaction are unprecedented.

　　As a result of the talks, the two heads of state agreed to work together to build a new type of relationship between China and the United States, promote the construction of a new type of military relationship between China and the United States, and respect each other and win-win cooperation. The handshake between China, the world’s largest developing country, and the leader of the world’s largest developed country, the Supreme Leader, and Obama at California Manor opened a new chapter in Sino-US "trans-Pacific cooperation".

　　Dialogue between the Korean and Korean authorities: it seems like a bright future, but the mountains are heavy.

　　In the first half of this year, the situation on the Korean Peninsula seemed to be on a "roller coaster", which rose and fell in just a few months, but suddenly turned around at the critical moment. However, even if you are willing to "talk", it is still full of twists and turns.

　　In the past few months, the situation on the peninsula has really made people sweat: North Korea conducted a nuclear test, South Korea-US military exercises, the hotline between South Korea and North Korea was cut off, North Korea restarted its nuclear reactor, and the Kaesong Industrial Park completely stopped running … All kinds of signs once made the outside world think that the Korean peninsula had reached a state of "war is imminent".

　　However, since May, North Korea has clearly expressed its willingness to talk to the international community by receiving the Japanese Prime Minister’s adviser and sending a special envoy to visit China. At the beginning of June, North Korea even abandoned its previous tough attitude and made a rare proposal for intergovernmental dialogue to South Korea.

　　The South Korean government quickly seized the opportunity of North Korea’s "goodwill". Just a few days later, the director-level working talks between the ROK and the DPRK were held in Panmunjom, paving the way for the next ministerial talks.

　　然而，就在外界看好局势发展的当口，情况却发生转折性变化。朝鲜以韩方会谈团长“级别过低”为由，单方面宣布取消原定于12日举行的当局会谈。

　　韩朝6月初的政府间对话就这样几乎在最后一刻中断，但7月4日，新的消息传来：韩朝一致同意于6日在板门店举行工作会谈。此外，朝鲜还表示愿意重返六方会谈。韩朝间看似“柳暗花明”、实则“山重水复”的沟通能否顺利继续，值得关注。

　　美国、阿富汗、塔利班：陷入“三角债”困局的谈判

　　12年前，美军进入阿富汗与塔利班武装人员作战，打响“9?11”袭击后的反恐战争“第一战”，就在历经12年战争、死伤数千人之后，阿富汗局势似乎初露和谈曙光，但却因美国、阿富汗政府、塔利班之间的“三角”纠葛搁浅。

　　6月18日，阿富汗塔利班宣布在多哈开设和谈办公室，随后有美国官员确认美方将与塔利班进行直接谈判。此举引起阿政府不满，阿总统卡尔扎伊19日宣布中止阿美《双边安全协议》协商进程，同时取消阿高级和平委员会赴多哈和谈安排。由于遭到阿政府强烈抗议，原定于20日举行的美国和塔利班首次会面被取消。

　　When the news of the talks was released, international public opinion was cautiously optimistic about it. Some analysts believe that the deep-seated reason for the delay in the negotiations is that the three parties have their own "wishful thinking", and the negotiations will be a dilemma with no end in sight.

　　Through negotiations, the United States wants the Taliban to publicly renounce its relations with Al Qaeda, end its violence in Afghanistan and recognize the Afghan Constitution. The United States should avoid giving people the impression of walking away and seek a dignified withdrawal from Afghanistan; The purpose of the Afghan government is to "woo" the Taliban, persuade them to lay down their arms, join the government-led reconciliation process, and maintain and consolidate the government’s orthodoxy and legal status; The Taliban, from the position of strength, tried to share power with the government through negotiations, so as to gain time, gradually expand and restore the Taliban regime.

　　The analysis believes that after more than 10 years of war, the balance of power among the three parties has undergone a fundamental change. Although the three parties came to the negotiating table under the banner of reconciliation process, they all wanted to get something that could not be achieved on the battlefield at the negotiating table, which doomed the negotiations to be difficult to make substantive progress.

　　Just when the negotiations ran aground, the violence cast a heavier shadow on them. On June 25, the presidential palace in Afghanistan was attacked by Taliban militants, and four armed men died in an exchange of fire with the police. This is an attack launched by the Taliban against the highest-level targets in Afghanistan since its offensive in April this year.

　　Although after the violence, US President Barack Obama and Afghan President Hamid Karzai reiterated their support for negotiations with the Afghan Taliban. However, it is still difficult to predict when the peace talks facing many variables will start. The peace process in Afghanistan remains worrying.

　　Difficult situation in Syria: domestic dialogue is hopeless and international conference is difficult to produce.

　　In the middle of 2013, the Syrian crisis, which lasted for more than two years, is still far from being resolved. Bashar al-Assad, who "sticks to" the presidency, has very different political views from the Syrian opposition. The two sides are still mired in the deadlock of confrontation and confrontation, and the road to dialogue and reconciliation is still long.

　　In January this year, Assad put forward a new peace initiative and transition plan, calling for national dialogue to end internal conflicts. However, Assad’s peace initiative did not bring dawn to the chaotic situation in Syria. The Syrian opposition said that unless Assad stepped down or did not have any preconditions, there would be no dialogue.

　　For more than half a year, the Syrian government forces and the opposition have continued to wage a tug-of-war in Syria’s major towns. The two sides have blamed each other on whether to use chemical weapons and whether to kill civilians indiscriminately. The extent to which the domestic security situation in Syria has deteriorated is not difficult to see from the latest data released by the United Nations-it is conservatively estimated that at least 93,000 people have died in the Syrian crisis.

　　In addition, the Geneva International Conference on Syria, which was expected to find a political solution to the Syrian crisis, was also delayed. Since the beginning of June, the United Nations, the United States, Russia, Syria and other parties have held many consultations, but still failed to reach an agreement on key issues such as the convening time and participants. On June 25th, the United Nations-Arab League Joint Special Representative for Syria Brahimi said that the meeting scheduled for July could not be held as scheduled because the Syrian opposition was still not ready.

　　At the same time, at the beginning of June, when the war situation began to develop in favor of the Syrian government forces, more than a dozen countries, including the United States, decided to provide emergency military assistance to the opposition in Syria in order to "balance the domestic forces in Syria."

　　But there is no doubt that such a "balance" will only aggravate the antagonistic situation in Syria and make the political solution to the crisis farther away from Syria. When the two sides in Syria can start a dialogue and when the Syrian people can regain peace will remain a long-term problem.

　　Conclusion:

　　Take stock of the conversations worth reviewing in the first half of this year, including successes, failures and unresolved issues. No matter how fierce the confrontation is, "dialogue" is still a good way to solve problems and bridge the differences between the opposing sides. In the future, confrontation and conflict will inevitably continue in the international political arena, but people still hope that there will be more and more dialogues and communication in the international community in the future, injecting more "catalysts" for achieving peace and reconciliation.

-Speech at the 11th Five-Year Scientific Research Work Conference of the State Language Commission.

　　Vice Minister of Education and Director of the State Language Committee　　 Zhao qinping

　　(28 November 2006)

Dear experts and comrades,

　　The 11th Five-Year Scientific Research Conference of the State Language Commission was held here today to summarize the scientific research work of the State Language Commission and local language commissions during the 10th Five-Year Plan, discuss the 11th Five-Year Scientific Research Plan for the application of spoken and written languages, and study and deploy the scientific research work of the language commission system. At the same time, the 43rd national Putonghua proficiency tester qualification examination training course started here today. Putonghua training test is one of the three basic measures to promote Putonghua, which has made remarkable achievements in the past ten years. I would also like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the vast number of testers, experts and scholars who participated in testing research and comrades in various regions and industries who care about and support this cause!

　　Below I will talk about three aspects of the scientific research work on the application of language and characters in the Eleventh Five-Year Plan.

　　Building a harmonious language life is the goal of language work.

　　On October 11th, 2006, the Sixth Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) adopted the Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Several Major Issues in Building a Harmonious Socialist Society. The "Decision" holds that: "Social harmony is the essential attribute of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and an important guarantee for the country’s prosperity, national rejuvenation and people’s happiness." "Social harmony is the unremitting goal of our party."

　　Language is the most important symbol system for human communication and thinking, an important part of culture and the most important cultural carrier. The attribute of language determines that language life is an important part of social life, and the harmony of language life is an important manifestation of social harmony and an important factor to promote social harmony. To build a harmonious society, language and writing workers have an important historical mission.

　　At present, China’s language life is harmonious on the whole, but there are also many problems that need to be treated scientifically and properly. For example:

　　1. The relationship between Mandarin and dialects;

　　2. The relationship between the languages of all ethnic groups in China;

　　3. The relationship between mother tongue education and foreign language learning;

　　4. Protection of endangered languages;

　　5. The relationship between the international spread of Chinese and the domestic language and writing work;

　　6. The communication of language life between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait;

　　7. Language communication among Chinese communities in the world;

　　8. Language and writing problems in virtual space in China.

　　To treat the problems in current language life scientifically and properly, we must understand the national conditions of the language. It is necessary to monitor and study the situation of language life, especially the hot issues of language life, and make a scientific analysis by setting up a national language resource monitoring and research center. It is necessary to advocate a pragmatic style of study, support the field investigation of local languages, and support the investigation and study of language life in all fields of society. We should pay attention to summing up the historical achievements of language and writing work in China, draw lessons from foreign experience reasonably, and be good at summing up the laws from today’s work practice. It is necessary to strengthen the publicity of the national language policy and language standards, attach importance to the popularization of linguistic scientific achievements, actively provide high-quality language services to the society, help all sectors of society and the general public solve the language problems they encounter, and guide the language life to develop in a harmonious direction.　

　　Second, language science is the basis for doing a good job in language and writing.

　　The development of language and writing is regular, and the work of language and writing must follow the development law of language and writing. Language life is constantly developing and changing, and language work must grasp the basic situation and development trend of language life.

　　Great achievements have been made in the language and writing work in New China for more than 50 years, which has made important contributions to China’s cultural construction, scientific and educational development and economic and social progress, and also provided a solid foundation for today’s national informatization process. At the end of March this year, the meeting held by the Ministry of Education and the State Language Committee to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the publication of the State Council’s Resolution on the Simplification of Chinese Characters and the Instruction on Promoting Putonghua, and the academic seminar on the standardization of language and characters jointly held by the Institute of Linguistics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the Institute of Language Application of the Ministry of Education have made a good summary. Of course, there have been some mistakes in the work of language and writing in history, leaving a profound lesson. Historical practice shows that the effectiveness of language work depends on the understanding of the law of language development and the understanding of language life and its development trend. Therefore, in order to do a good job in language and writing, we must strengthen the research of language science.

　　In language science, basic research is very important, and the application research of language and writing plays a more direct role in the work of national language and writing. The basic research needs to be strengthened, but the applied research of language and writing develops late, with less achievements, which needs to be strengthened more. We should strive to form a relatively complete discipline system and education system of applied linguistics within a few years, establish a number of dynamic scientific research bases and talent training bases of applied linguistics, and cultivate a large number of applied linguistics talents with modern academic vision, innovative consciousness and compound nature to meet the needs of the country for applied linguistics. The discipline construction of applied linguistics should be put on the agenda, and a seminar on the discipline construction of applied linguistics can be held when necessary. The discipline construction of applied linguistics is more extensive than the scientific research of applied linguistics, including the construction of bases, the determination of research directions, the construction of teaching staff and the setting of degrees. From the perspective of scientific research, discipline construction emphasizes the research direction; From the perspective of personnel training, it emphasizes knowledge structure and curriculum system.

　　The country pays more and more attention to the interdisciplinary research between natural science and humanities. Applied linguistics is an applied discipline, especially with information technology, and also involves psychology, law, education and so on. In the past, the key laboratories of the Ministry of Education paid little attention to interdisciplinary subjects, especially those lacking the intersection of natural science and social science. In recent years, the country has begun to promote interdisciplinary subjects, especially the combination of natural science and social science, such as new media and digital art. Applied linguistics, especially computational linguistics, is a typical combination of information technology and linguistics. We should establish some bases in these areas, and these bases can become key laboratories of the Ministry of Education to a certain extent. I hope to see such key laboratories during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period. The knowledge structure of applied linguistics talents should have at least three aspects: linguistic knowledge, interdisciplinary knowledge (such as information technology) and related cultural qualities.

　　Informatization is a subject that all countries in the world are very concerned about. Standardization and informatization of language and characters are the basis of realizing social informatization. It is important to promote the standardization and informatization of language and writing as an important task of applied linguistics research and as an important task of national language and writing work. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the introduction of modern information technology achievements into language research, into the application of social language and writing, and into the work of language and writing, so as to realize the modernization of language research means and language and writing work means.

　　 It is necessary to strengthen the research on the evaluation system of language and characters. The Putonghua training test in China has been carried out for more than ten years and has made great achievements. The proficiency test of Chinese characters is about to begin, and I believe it will also play a good social role. The Chinese Proficiency Test (HSK) for Chinese as a second language and the Chinese Proficiency Test (MSK) for ethnic minorities have been implemented successively, which has achieved good social reputation. However, we still lack the language proficiency assessment system of Chinese as the mother tongue. On the one hand, it is necessary to gradually improve the current Putonghua proficiency test and writing application ability test, and gradually adopt modern means to improve the quality and efficiency of testing and management; At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the research on the evaluation system of language application in some important countries in the world, and strive to complete the comprehensive evaluation system of Chinese native speakers’ language ability in recent years in order to meet the needs of mother tongue education in schools at all levels and meet the needs of social industry access system and on-the-job training. This evaluation system, in cooperation with HSK and MSK, can form a complete Chinese proficiency test system in China.

　　Promoting scientific research is an important task for language committees at all levels.

　　Language and writing work is social, contemporary and academic. Especially in the current society, language concepts are diversified and language life is complicated. Language and writing management is always facing new situations and solving new problems. Therefore, it is necessary to have a solid scientific research as the foundation and a large number of experts as the backing to do a good job and improve the quality and efficiency of the work. Promoting the study of language science is an important task of language committees at all levels.

　　There are many departments concerned about language science research, and there are also many foundations involved in language research. In close contact with these departments and foundations, the State Language Committee should also formulate its own scientific research plan, set up scientific research teams and guide and coordinate the scientific research work of local language committees according to the work functions entrusted by the state. Apply for projects through multiple channels and strive for project funds. Because applied linguistics is an interdisciplinary subject, evaluation system and software construction can all apply for project funds from the science and technology department.

　　Local language and writing institutions should scientifically plan their local scientific research work, have the initiative to coordinate the local language and writing research work, and play an important role in the local language and writing research work. Local language committees should put scientific research on the agenda, incorporate it into the relevant work evaluation index system, implement the responsibility of scientific research management to people, and gradually form an incentive mechanism for language research. It is necessary to formulate scientific research plans according to local conditions, scientifically solve problems in local language life through academic research, and make contributions to the national language and writing research work. We should pay attention to the role of local universities and academic groups and rely on experts and scholars closely. It is necessary to give full play to subjective initiative, raise funds for scientific research in various ways, and comprehensively use traditional means and modern information technology to do a good job in publicizing and popularizing language policies and language norms and standards. Scientific research should be regarded as a new bright spot in the work of the Language Committee in the new period, so that the quality and management level of language and writing work in various places can be effectively improved through scientific research.

　　Comrades, during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, with the efforts of national language researchers and language committees at all levels, China’s language application research has achieved fruitful results, and remarkable progress has been made in the development of language standards, information-processing-oriented language application research, tracking and monitoring of social language life, and modernization of research methods and information service means. A new situation has emerged in the national and local language and writing work, and new achievements and measures have been made in the legal construction of language and writing work, the evaluation of urban language and writing, the promotion of Putonghua, and the construction of language and writing training and evaluation system. On this basis, China’s future language and writing work, China’s future language and writing scientific research work, will certainly achieve greater results.

　　We should strive to promote the harmony of language life and contribute to the sustainable development of the country, the construction of an innovative country and the construction of a harmonious society!

　　Thank you!

　　BEIJING, Beijing, September 14 (Reporter Zhang Ni) In recent years, with the promotion of burden reduction in primary and secondary schools, the school hours of primary schools in many areas have advanced to around 3: 30. However, children leave school early and parents leave work late, which makes many parents feel embarrassed — — It is unrealistic to ask for leave, and there are many concerns about the custodian. How should we solve the "3: 30 problem"?

　　Parents are worried about picking up their baby after school at 3: 30.

　　"When I get to school, I have a headache. My wife and I both go to work. The off-duty time is five or six o’clock, but children usually leave school at three or four o’clock, and picking up children has become a problem." Mr. Wang, a citizen who lives in Haidian District, Beijing, said that every time he started school, he began to worry about picking up the baby.

　　Mr. Wang’s son is in the fourth grade. Before that, Mr. Wang’s mother helped to pick him up, but in the past two years, because his mother was in poor health, he had to pick him up with his wife.

　　"Now the school has after-school activities three days a week, and the school time is relatively late. I will rotate with my wife for the remaining two days. Whoever is not busy will pick up the children in advance." Mr. Wang said that because the school is close to home, he and his wife planned to let the children go to school by themselves after they entered the fifth and sixth grades, but he was still a little worried.

　　Mr. Wang’s experience is also a portrayal of the real life of many young parents. In order to solve the problem, many elderly people took the initiative to take over the heavy responsibility of receiving the baby. Ms. Shen, 66, is one of them.

　　Ms. Shen lives in Haidian District. Her grandson is in the first grade of primary school this year. Because both her son and daughter-in-law have to work, the job of picking up and dropping off the children is given to her.

　　"I have to go back and forth between home and school several times a day, and I have to walk on the road for nearly an hour a day." Ms. Shen said that because she is in good health, she can accept it, but I am afraid that the elderly who are in poor health will be a little overwhelmed.

　　"Last year, my son asked for a second child, and I hired a nanny to take the second child at home. I can still be busy when I send the boss. When the second child starts to go to kindergarten, I have to pick up two. Without a nanny, I will definitely be too busy." Ms. Shen said.

　　Market demand gives birth to trusteeship fever

　　The problem of parents picking up their children has also left business opportunities for off-campus hosting institutions, and the fees of such institutions are expensive.

　　A few days ago, the reporter consulted a primary school care institution in Zhongguancun, Beijing, and learned that the cost of hosting a primary school student in this institution is 1,480 yuan per month, while the student’s meal fee is calculated separately, which is the charging standard for each meal in 20 yuan. In this way, if a primary school student has dinner once a day in a custody institution, the monthly expenses add up to nearly 2,000 yuan, which is not a small expense for many parents.

　　Even so, because of the large demand, the number of custody places of custody institutions is also very popular.

　　"The number of students we can accept is limited, so we usually start to register in mid-August, and there will be very few places left when the school starts." A staff member of the agency told reporters.

　　For such a custodian, parents also have their own concerns.

　　"One depends on whether the price charge is acceptable. In addition, if we really want to send our children to such a custody institution, we must also check the qualifications, safety facilities, the level of teachers, the quality of food, etc. We are all concerned." Mr. Wang expressed his concern.

　　The teacher vomited: it is very tiring to organize after-school activities.

　　In the first half of this year, the Ministry of Education issued the Guiding Opinions on Doing a Good Job in After-school Services for Primary and Secondary School Students. Among them, it is clear that we should give full play to the role of the main channel of after-school service in primary and secondary schools. The majority of primary and secondary schools should make full use of their advantages in management, personnel, venues and resources, and take the initiative to assume the responsibility of students’ after-school service.

　　The reporter learned that after-school expansion activities have been carried out in primary schools in many areas, including Beijing. However, in the process of school implementation, there are also many practical problems.

　　Lin Lin (pseudonym), who works as an English teacher in a primary school in Chaoyang District, Beijing, said in an interview that her primary school will hold community activities three days a week, but because of the limited resources of teachers in the school, some interest activities need to be outsourced to hire teachers.

　　"Schools should also increase their funding, not only paying the class fees of external teachers, but also paying some remuneration to the class teachers." Lin Lin said.

　　"Community activities usually disrupt classes, and it is difficult for teachers to manage classroom discipline. Therefore, each class should be equipped with a class supervisor. Once the class is over, children like to have classes in disorder, so the class supervisor must always be nervous to prevent danger." Lin Lin told reporters that he will arrive at school at seven o’clock every day, and his usual workload is already very heavy. Coupled with the arrangement of extracurricular activities, he is very tired at the end of the day.

　　After school at 3: 30, did the students reduce their burden?

　　On the one hand, the school leaves school early, on the other hand, the students’ schoolwork burden has not really been alleviated. Many primary school students hurried to the off-campus cram school after leaving the school gate. Xiaoding, who is in the sixth grade this year, is one of them.

　　"I don’t have cram schools now except Monday and Sunday, and I have extracurricular classes the rest of the time." Xiaoding told reporters.

　　Xiaoding’s school is a key primary school in Beijing. It will finish school before three o’clock every Tuesday and Friday, but he still has cram schools to attend. Usually, Xiaoding goes to cram school by bike every time he comes home from school to pack his things, and many students in the class have similar situations.

　　"We are under great pressure as parents. Some of our children’s classmates were recruited by key middle schools in the fourth and fifth grades. If they can’t be recruited, they can only participate in computer allocation, which is quite anxious." Mr. Zhu, who lives in Haidian District, expressed emotion in an interview.

　　Mr. Zhu also has a daughter who has just entered the sixth grade. Because he is worried that his child will be sent to a bad middle school, he began to take his child to take some key middle school exams very early.

　　"In fact, children have very little homework in school and can finish it soon, but we also reported three or four extracurricular classes to our children, so it is not easy." Mr. Zhu said that as long as the child’s junior high school is not solved one day, his heart will always be hanging.

　　How to solve the problem?

　　On the one hand, the state advocates reducing the burden and letting students leave school early. On the other hand, schools and parents are faced with various implementation problems. How to solve the contradictions?

　　In fact, in recent years, many local governments have introduced relevant policies to solve the problem.

　　For example, Beijing, Chengdu and other places have established a financial guarantee mechanism. Public primary schools in Shanghai generally provide free after-school care services to students who have difficulties in family care. Qingdao and other places "take the school family Committee as the leading factor and the school participates in cooperation" and rely on the school’s premises and equipment to carry out after-school service.

　　"Solve ‘ 3: 30 problem ’ It is still necessary to let the school play an active role and carry out more extracurricular activities, but this requires a policy tilt, focusing on giving teachers subsidies and improving teachers’ enthusiasm. " Gu Mingyuan, honorary president of China Education Association, stressed in an interview with Zhongxin. com.

　　Gu Mingyuan analyzed that while the government gives financial support to schools, it should also give them autonomy in running schools. "Education should also be shared, so that schools can fully tap and utilize all social resources, even including inviting parents with special skills to participate in after-school activities. Children should not be pushed to training institutions because of school."

　　Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at the China Academy of Educational Sciences, believes that students should also be given some time for independent activities, rather than just "going to school — — Going home is a two-point and one-line life, and the part that is in contact with society is missing.

　　"In the process of children’s growth, it is not only the school that has an educational role, but also the society. Education should return to a normal state, so that children can participate in social activities independently and find their own interests." Chu Zhaohui said.

　　In addition, Chu Zhaohui emphasized that if the disguised junior high school entrance examination still exists, then the children are still tied to the examination and academic performance, so it is difficult to really reduce the burden. (End)

During his inspection of the Academy of Military Sciences, President Xi stressed that it is necessary to open a closed loop from practice to theory and then from theory to practice, so that the research of military theory can be rooted in the fertile soil of practice, be tested by practice, and realize the benign interaction between theory and practice. Today, with the surge of the new military revolution in the world, it is necessary to further handle the dialectical relationship between military theory and military practice in order to implement the spirit of the 19th Party Congress and promote the modernization of military theory.

Grasp the law of military practice and enhance the consciousness of military theory innovation

Since the birth of the war, human military practice has gone through thousands of years, including wood and stone age, metal age, gunpowder age and mechanization age, and is now striding towards the information age. To innovate military theory, only by thinking through time and space and knowing the overall situation of human military practice, especially war practice, can we base ourselves on the universal law of military practice and accurately grasp the characteristics of the times of military practice.

Grasp the universal law behind it through twists and turns. According to relevant statistics, from 3200 BC to 1964 AD, there were more than 14,500 wars in the world. These wars are different in nature, scale and ways of confrontation, and even have different faces. However, all war practices have common and universal laws. For example, wars are the continuation of politics, so there are points of justice and injustice; Wars are violent confrontations, which will cause more or less destruction and casualties; The final decisive factor of the victory or defeat of a war is people, so no matter how weapons and equipment develop, it will not ultimately decide the victory or defeat of a war, and so on. After entering the 21st century, when people talk about information, intelligence and unmanned warfare, and today, more and more attention is paid to technology and equipment, it is necessary to avoid seeing things but not people and ensure that military theoretical innovation advances in the right direction.

He is good at following the trend with time and understanding the internal password of change. War is often a huge system involving complex variables. Changes in political, economic, social, cultural and diplomatic factors, innovations in equipment, technology, talents, organization and tactics will all affect the development of military practice and the evolution of military theory. To innovate military theory, we must try our best to grasp why, where and how military practice changes from these changes, and earnestly grasp the historical law of the evolution of military practice. Specifically, to innovate military theory under the new historical conditions, we must see many characteristics of modern warfare, such as large economic investment, high technology content, fast combat action, and many political restrictions, and recognize the basic characteristics of the development of modern military forces, such as small quantity and scale, fine strength, excellent organizational structure, and fine command and management.

Be familiar with the changes of ancient and modern times and predict the future development trend. In the long history of war, there are both long gradual changes and short-term drastic changes. To promote the innovation of military theory, we should not only clearly predict the long-term trend of military practice development, but also attach great importance to major military mutations and their possible subversive effects. For example, once laser and quantum replace electrons as the new foundation of information technology, it will have a far-reaching impact on the rules of information attack and defense and the comparison of strategic forces. It can be seen that fully grasping the development trend of future military practice and clearly estimating the possible sudden changes are important guarantees for mastering the initiative and winning the future.

Correcting the innovation direction of military theory by comparing the effectiveness of military practice

The effectiveness of military theory innovation ultimately depends on military practice to test and correct. The innovation of military theory must jump out of the self-circulation of thinking, adhere to the test standard of practice, enrich the test methods of practice and expand the test ways of practice.

Test the innovation of military theory with new war practice. Engels once profoundly pointed out that in a long period of peace, how much weapons have improved due to the development of industry, how much combat methods have fallen behind. The lessons of Maginot Line of Defense have repeatedly warned people to avoid using yesterday’s brain to understand today’s war and break through the imprisonment of old thinking. The fundamental way is to constantly reflect on new war practice, recognize the unique essence and laws of modern war, objectively predict the development trend of war practice, find an effective way to win, and blow off the historical dust in military theory.

Test the innovation of military theory with the practice of preparing for war and using troops. Preparation for military struggle is the key link between army building and combat, an important aspect of peacetime military practice, and also provides a means to test the effectiveness of military theory innovation. It is necessary to unify the practice of combat readiness with the reflection of theory, find and solve the contradictions between them, effectively correct the tendency of theory to be divorced from actual combat, and promote it to be close to war. Although there is no war in peacetime, the practice of using troops in peacetime, such as anti-terrorism, maintaining stability, international peacekeeping and military deterrence, has opened up new ways to test the theoretical results. Making good use of the successful experience of these non-war military operations is conducive to sharpening the practical quality of military theory.

Test the innovation of military theory with the practice of building and managing the army. In peacetime, building and managing the army is the most basic military practice. We should persist in testing the innovative achievements of military theory with actual combat training, and make the innovative achievements of military theory constantly focus on combat effectiveness and lead to actual combat through layer-by-layer screening of basic training, synthetic training, joint training and mission training practice. In particular, we should make good use of the ruler of training practice, insist on training to measure the effectiveness of theoretical innovation in equipment, technology, battlefield and management, and measure the gains and losses of theoretical innovation in various fields, levels, links and elements with training, squeeze out all kinds of ideological bubbles that cannot stand the test of training, and correct all kinds of theoretical deviations that deviate from actual combat training.

Test the innovation of military theory with military virtual practice. Simulation training, virtual simulation, network confrontation and other means, in an immersive and interactive way, can make the officers and men involved get a personal feeling of the future war and an ideological impact that is close to actual combat, which has a good test and evaluation effect on the virtual and real, long and short, superior and inferior in military theoretical innovation. It is an important achievement of the creative application of modern soft science and high technology represented by information technology in training and exercises, and has opened up a relatively independent new channel to test the innovative achievements of military theory. Comprehensive development and application of military virtual practice, giving full play to the role of military virtual practice in testing military theoretical innovation, and combining it with real military practice will help to better play the role of military practice testing and better correct the direction of military theoretical innovation.

Innovating military theory and leading the development of military practice

With the progress of technology and the development of human society, military theory has more and more functions of designing wars and leading the development of wars. Realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in the great global changes requires our military theory to have a broader vision, a more forward-looking vision, a keen grasp of the world’s military development trends, and a moderate lead in the development of war practice.

Keep up with the trend of the situation and grasp the historical position of military practice. With the group rise of emerging countries and the relative decline of western power, the global power balance has undergone profound changes, and the Asia-Pacific region has increasingly become the global geographical focus. The structural contradictions between the rising countries and the defending countries have increased, and the risks of competition, games and even conflicts and confrontations among big countries have increased. At the same time, the increasingly close interest ties formed by economic globalization, the increasing number of common multiple security threats faced by all countries, and the growing sense of community of human destiny all shape and restrict the way of resolving contradictions among big countries from different aspects, making it unlikely that a full-scale war will break out between big countries or even trigger a world war. However, military contests such as proxy war, marginal war, armed confrontation and strategic deterrence, which use strategic means to seek benefits, are inevitable, which requires military theoretical innovation to further broaden its horizons and guide military practice.

Keep up with the trend of technology and grasp the operation law of military practice. The use of metals, the invention of stirrups, the appearance of gunpowder, the introduction of tanks, the development of nuclear weapons and the change of information technology have triggered profound changes in the form and mode of warfare again and again. Judging from the previous military revolutions, the scientific and technological revolution is the most profound factor that triggered the military revolution. To promote military theoretical innovation, we must pay close attention to the development trend of science and technology. On the one hand, it is necessary to grasp the military possibilities contained in technological breakthroughs, especially the fundamental changes in confrontation rules and operational mechanisms caused by subversive technologies. The key here is to use the magnifying glass of military thought to select various technical possibilities, find out technological breakthroughs with great military value and study and develop them; On the other hand, we should find out the strategic demand for developing specific technology from the demand of political, economic and strategic games, and actively cultivate the technological fire to meet this strategic demand.

Follow the trend of national conditions and grasp the characteristics of China in military practice. To innovate military theory and lead military development, we should grasp the general laws of human military development, study the special laws of China’s military development, and influence and even lead the development of military practice with the original design of the development and application of China’s military forces. First, focus on ensuring peaceful development, pursue an active defense strategy, refrain from military expansion and arms race, and establish a theoretical perspective of providing strong military support for common security and mutual benefit. Second, to develop the people’s war in the new era, we always regard serving the people, organizing the people and relying on the people as the starting point and the end result of the innovative development of military theory. The third is based on me. Resolutely oppose copying the West in terms of ideas, paths, modes, technologies and organizations, strive to take root in China’s national conditions and military situation, identify the key points and shortcomings of strong enemies, and seize the initiative and lead the future in the design of strength development and application.

　　　　　　 CCTV News:We continue to pay attention to the deep game between the United States and Russia around the "last war" in Syria. The focus of the game is Idlib province in the northwest of Syria and its surrounding areas, which is regarded as the last site of opposition armed forces and various extremist and terrorist organizations in Syria. At present, the government forces are making intensive pre-war preparations to recover this area, and the battle of Idlib, known as the "last battle" in Syria, may start at any time. And at this juncture, should I fight? How to fight? The United States, which supports the anti-government armed forces, and Russia, which supports the Syrian government, are sharply opposed, and for this reason, they have launched a confrontation and game in military diplomacy.

　　　　　　 White House: If Syria uses chemical weapons, it will respond quickly.

　　　　　　 Let’s look at the new trend of the US. The White House No.4 issued a statement saying that the United States is closely monitoring the situation in Idlib province of Syria. If the Syrian government uses chemical weapons, the United States and its allies will respond "quickly and appropriately".

　　　　　　 This is not the first time that the United States has recently threatened to use force against the Syrian government. On August 21 this year, the United States, Britain and France issued a joint statement expressing "serious" concern about the possible military actions taken by Syrian government forces in Idlib province. The United States, Britain and France also warned that if the Syrian government uses any chemical weapons, they will make an "appropriate" response.

　　　　　　 Russia says terrorist organizations will create chemical weapons attacks.

　　　　　　 The threat of use of force by the United States and its allies against Syria is not just a verbal threat. In April this year, the three countries attacked Syrian government facilities on the grounds of the so-called "chemical weapons attack". Recently, the Russian Ministry of Defense suddenly broke the news that the "White Helmets" organization with western background is planning with terrorist organizations to prepare a chemical attack and frame it on the Syrian government.

　　　　　　 According to the information held by the Russian military, several terrorist organizations, such as the "Conquest Front", transported eight chlorine-containing containers to the northwest of Idlib province in an attempt to make and photograph the scene of the so-called "chemical weapons attack" by Syrian government forces, and intelligence shows that the chemical weapons attack premeditated by terrorists may be changed to Hama province.

　　　　　　 Earlier, Western countries repeatedly accused Syrian government forces of using chemical weapons, which were firmly denied by Syria and Russia. In April this year, the so-called "chemical weapons attack" occurred in the town of Duma, Syria, and the United States, Britain and France subsequently attacked Syrian government facilities. Later, the Russian media interviewed the parties who were attacked by so-called "chemical weapons" and identified the relevant attacks as forged.

　　　　　　 Trump issued a warning to stop Syria from attacking Idlib.

　　　　　　 US President Trump No.3 also issued a warning to Syria not to "recklessly" attack Idlib province, otherwise the consequences will be very serious. He also called on Russia and Iran not to participate in the battle of Idlib. In this regard, Russian Presidential Press Secretary peskov No.4 said that Trump’s statement was ill-considered.

　　　　　　 Peskov: "(Idlib) hides a large number of terrorists, which leads to instability. Efforts to end this situation through political and diplomatic channels have also been hindered. Importantly, this poses a threat to our military base. This point has been mentioned by the Russian President. Everyone knows that those drones that threaten our base took off from here (Idlib). "

　　　　　　 Chen Bing launched a military confrontation between Russia and the United States in the Mediterranean.

　　　　　　 In addition to bickering, countries such as the United States and Russia are also ready to intervene in the military.

　　　　　　 According to media reports, the United States has deployed large destroyers equipped with Tomahawk cruise missiles to the Mediterranean waters near Idlib. A Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine has also entered the Mediterranean waters. Los Angeles-class nuclear submarines can carry multiple cruise missiles. In the Gulf War in 1991, the first wave of attacks by multinational forces on Iraq was launched from surface ships and Los Angeles-class nuclear submarines. However, the Pentagon said that sending nuclear submarines into the Mediterranean was a routine voyage.

　　　　　　 Russia is not to be outdone. The Russian navy began military exercises in the waters near Syria in the eastern Mediterranean on the 1st. The Russian Defense Ministry said that more than 25 ships from the Russian Northern Fleet, the Baltic Fleet, the Black Sea Fleet and the Caspian Fleet participated in the exercise, and there were about 30 fighters. Although Russia claims that the exercise has nothing to do with the situation in Idlib, Syria, it is widely believed that this is the largest maritime military exercise held by Russia in the Mediterranean region since the end of the Cold War, mainly to show the will and ability to oppose western countries’ intervention in the Syrian war by force.

　　　　　　 In addition, the Russian media also reported that the Russian Ministry of Defense is increasing the deployment of naval forces in the Mediterranean Sea, including 10 ships of various types with missile strike capability. This is also the most powerful naval force deployed by Russia in the Mediterranean since it cracked down on extreme armed forces in Syria in 2015. 　

　　　　　　 Russia-Turkey Summit or Focus on the Battle of Idlib

　　　　　　 Military confrontation is accompanied by diplomatic interaction. While the United States, Britain and France are threatening to use force against Syria, the presidents of Russia, Turkey and Iran will also meet in Iran on the 7th, that is, this Friday. It is expected that the situation in Syria, especially the war in Idlib province, will be the focus of this summit.

　　　　　　 Some analysts believe that at the upcoming summit, Russia, Turkey and Iraq need to coordinate and solve a series of problems, including the time of the war, the scope of the attack and the target of the attack, so as to prevent the armed forces supported by the three countries from accidentally firing, and to prevent the war from expanding out of control and harming the interests of the three countries.

　　　　　　 Iranian foreign minister’s visit to Syria reaffirms support for Syria’s counter-terrorism

　　　　　　 Let’s look at Iran’s attitude. Iran is an important ally of the Syrian government. It has always supported the Bashar regime in the Syrian civil war and provided military support to the Syrian government. Different from Turkey’s attitude, when Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif visited Syria on the 3rd, he called for "thorough elimination" of "terrorists" in Idlib province.

　　　　　　 Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif held talks with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Prime Minister khamis, Foreign Minister Moalem and several senior Syrian government officials on the same day. In their meeting with Bashar, Zarif and Bashar both accused "some western countries of exerting malicious pressure on Syria and Iran" and stressed that the two countries will not give up their "principles" and efforts to maintain regional peace and stability because of pressure. When meeting with Syrian Foreign Minister Moalem, Zarif reiterated that Iran will continue to support Syria’s actions against terrorist organizations.

　　　　　　 Talking about the war in Idlib, Syria, which may be about to start, Zarif said that the residual terrorist forces in Idlib area "will be completely eliminated" and this area should be returned to the Syrian people as soon as possible.

　　　　　　 Russian Foreign Minister: I am willing to meet with the US Secretary of State at the UN General Assembly.

　　　　　　 While the United States and Russia launched a deep game of military diplomacy around the "last war" in Syria, they did not refuse dialogue and communication. Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said at the end of last month that he was willing to meet with US Secretary of State Pompeo during the UN General Assembly. The website of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on the same day saying that both Lavrov and Pompeo will attend the 73rd UN General Assembly, which will open on September 18th. Lavrov expressed his willingness to meet with the US and discuss bilateral agenda and international affairs of common concern. He also said that both sides are ready for a fruitful and constructive meeting.

　　　　　　 The United Nations will convene many countries to discuss the situation in Syria.

　　　　　　 On the 4th, UN Special Envoy for Syria De Mistura said in Geneva that he would hold talks with Russia, Turkey and Iran from 10th to 11th. Subsequently, further talks were held with representatives of the United States, Britain, France, Germany and Saudi Arabia on the 14th. Subsequently, the UN Security Council will hold a meeting on the 20th to discuss the situation in Syria. It is hoped that this will be a breakthrough to promote the political process of the Syrian issue.

　　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.

　　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%.

　　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

　　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. China’s central bank did not follow suit and suspended the open market operation.

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.

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%.　

　　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

　　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.

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.

　　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.

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.
