On the evening of February 22nd, Chengqiao Police Station of Chongming Branch of Shanghai Public Security Bureau and Law Enforcement Brigade of District Agriculture and Rural Committee launched a joint law enforcement operation, and arrested a suspect suspected of illegal fishing and seized a set of anchor fish equipment in the core area of conservation zone, a national aquatic germplasm of Coilia ectenes in the west of chengqiao town.

At about 22 o’clock that day, when the police and fishery law enforcement officers jointly patrolled a certain place in the waters, they found a suspicious man with a flashlight on the groin, suspected of illegally anchoring fish in the Yangtze River. Police and fishery law enforcement officers immediately went to check and dispose, and arrested the suspect Zhang Moumou on the spot, and seized one set of anchor fish equipment and three silver carp, about 47 kg.

According to the confession of the criminal suspect Zhang Moumou, he took advantage of the night to bring anchor fish equipment to the riverside for fishing in order to satisfy his craving. After verification, it was found that the anchor fish equipment was prohibited by law, and Zhang Moumou was suspected of committing a crime. At present, the public security organs have taken criminal compulsory measures against Zhang Moumou according to law, and the case is under further investigation.

The reporter learned that since February 1, 2022, the Yangtze River swordfish national aquatic germplasm resources protection core area west of Zhangwang Port (inclusive) and Beibao Port (inclusive) of Chongming Island, and the Chinese sturgeon nature reserve in the Yangtze River estuary of Shanghai, east of Shanghai Yangtze River Bridge and east of Beiba Port (inclusive) of Chongming Island, are no-fishing areas. Fishing activities for leisure and entertainment can be carried out in other areas (including inland rivers), and the fishing behavior is limited to "one person, one pole, one line and one hook".

At present, the Yangtze River "ten-year fishing ban" is being implemented. The Chongming Branch of the Public Security Bureau and the District Agriculture and Rural Committee will continue to maintain a high-pressure and strict management situation, increase daily supervision, severely crack down on illegal fishing behaviors such as "anchoring fish" and illegal fishing behaviors, protect the ecological environment of Chongming waters, and ensure the effectiveness of the "ten-year fishing ban" in the Yangtze River. ?

　　(People’s Network information as of January 2018)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　United States of America

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　Saudi Arabia

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

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

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

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

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

　　Japan

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

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

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

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

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

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

　　South Korea

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

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

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

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

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

　　Canada

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

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

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

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

　　Britain

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

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

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

On September 12th, the new HARRIER and the new Harrier went on the market at the same time. Although it was only an annual modified model, the two cars had obvious innovations in product strength and configuration.

Let’s look at Rongfang first. The new car has launched nine models including fuel, smart electric hybrid twin-engine and smart plug-in twin-engine. Hybrid has become the absolute main force, and the official price range is 169,800-297,800 yuan. At the same time, various generous preferential policies have been introduced, which greatly reduced the actual car purchase threshold.

Rongfang is a very classic model, known as the originator of urban SUV, the core force of Toyota in the compact SUV market and the star player in the SUV market for a long time.

The new Rongfang overall style fashion movement uses a lot of bold and distinctive designs, which still has obvious visual impact even though it has been on the market for some time. The upgrade of this new car focuses on the internal and external details of the Fashion PLUS version, and the front grille, front and rear bumper guards, wheel eyebrows, and side and rear door trim strips have all been adjusted. Of course, these adjustments are more about tinkering with the old models and basically maintaining respect for the old models.

The new Rongfang interior design still maintains the family design style. The center of the cockpit is a large-size suspended central control panel, three circular steering wheels are easy to use, and the mechanical gear handle is also convenient to operate, while retaining a large number of physical buttons. The new model has been slightly upgraded in the interior material and color, such as the color and grain of the door panel, the door handle in the car has also been added with new decorative strips, and the details of the leather package such as the central armrest and the baffle handle have also been partially adjusted. Of course, these changes are relatively slight, and the overall taste is still familiar. The familiar formula will not be unfamiliar.

In terms of space, the length, width and height of the new Rongfang are 4600 (4610)/1855 (1865)/1680 (1685) mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2690mm, which is basically the same as that of the old models. It is still positioned as a compact SUV, and the actual riding experience has not changed much.

In terms of power, the new Rongfang offers a wealth of choices. The fuel version of the 2.0L engine has a maximum power of 126 kW and a peak torque of 209 Nm. According to different configurations, the comprehensive power of the 2.5L dual-engine version is 160 kW and 163 kW respectively. The 2.5L plug-in hybrid version of the single motor version has a comprehensive power of 194 kW and a pure electric cruising range of 78 km. The dual-motor (four-wheel drive) version is 225 kilowatts, and the pure electric cruising range is 73 kilometers.

Lingfang is larger in size and higher in level than Rongfang, but its market influence and terminal sales are far less than Rongfang.

The new Lingfang is fashionable and avant-garde, and it seems to have a strong visual impact with Lexus temperament. It is known as Toyota’s "most beautiful SUV". The front face of the new car adopts an approximate X-shaped design, the huge blackened T-shaped air intake is very eye-catching, and the sharp headlights are connected by a chrome strip in the middle, which improves the integrity of the front face.

The profile of the new Lingfang emphasizes the dynamic sense, and an inclined waistline runs through the whole car, which brings a strong sense of dive. The chrome-plated strip of the slightly raised lower porthole makes the body expression richer.

As for the interior, the new Lingfang has adopted a family style similar to Rongfang’s, and the material and technology have maintained the basic level of Lingfang. Although it is slightly conservative compared with the new forces, it is more in line with driving habits in actual use.

In terms of space, the length, width and height of the new car are 4755/1855/1660mm and the wheelbase is 2690mm, which are basically the same as the current models, and the actual ride experience is exactly the same.

As an annual modified model, the biggest change of the new car is that it is equipped with a brand-new hybrid system, and provides a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and a 2.5L power option. The 2.0L engine has a maximum power of 126 kW and a maximum torque of 206 Nm. The 2.5L hybrid vehicle has a combined power of 160 kW for two-wheel drive and 163 kW for four-wheel drive, matching the E-CVT continuously variable gearbox.

In the beautiful Xishuangbanna Prefecture of Yunnan, there is a young Chongqing native who manages a large banana plantation with an area of more than 3,000 mu alone. He is Cen, the general manager of Dongting Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, and the famous "banana king" born in 1980s.

Carrying 500 yuan into the world

"The world is so big, don’t walk around and see more, how do you know what career is best for you?" Cen was born in Hechuan rural area. After finishing high school there in 2006, he went to Foshan, Guangdong, alone with the only cash from 500 yuan, and started a dream-seeking journey.

In a small electrical appliance factory in Foshan, he found a job in product quality control, with a monthly salary less than that of 1000 yuan. Because of his hard work, Cen was promoted to department head one year later, and his monthly salary rose to 3,000 yuan. Working part-time is not easy, and overtime is a common occurrence, especially in the peak sales season, when Cen works more than 15 hours a day. With the passage of time, the idea of "starting your own business" became stronger and stronger in his heart. At the end of 2007, Cen resigned and returned to Chongqing.

2008 is a turning point for Cen. This year, he came to Xishuangbanna, Yunnan with his family to develop banana planting. "The land here is relatively wide, and bananas are suitable for planting here." Cen said that his relatives also planted bananas in Xishuangbanna at that time.

The barren hills turned into banana forests.

When he first arrived in Xishuangbanna, Cen did all kinds of odd jobs in his own 200-acre banana garden, weeding and fertilizing himself, and sunburn and sprained feet never happened less. A year later, watching the original barren hillside turn into a banana forest, and calculating that every input from 1 yuan will turn into the output from 2.5 yuan, Cen felt that all the previous efforts were worthwhile.

Cen attaches great importance to adopting the latest planting techniques, and at the same time, she is particularly hard-working, and she has to drill into the banana forest for inspection almost every day. It takes at least half a day to patrol the 200-acre banana garden. Slowly, Cen developed a pair of "critical eyes" and could see all kinds of pests and diseases at a glance. "Like heartworms, thistles, filariasis, etc., once they appear, they must be dealt with in time." Cen said.

At the beginning of 2010, Guangxi, Hainan and other major banana producing areas had bumper harvests, which made Yunnan bananas, which had not been sold in previous years, encounter the dilemma of "nobody cares". Looking at the bananas that had already hung in the ground, Cen was puzzled. "At that time, my head was big. Later, I remembered that a friend at home wholesaled bananas in Panxi Market in Chongqing, so I called him."

"You can take bananas to Panxi and sell them yourself." Cen was moved by a friend’s suggestion. He immediately rented a truck and personally transported more than 20 tons of bananas to Chongqing Panxi Fruit Wholesale Market, which was sold out in less than one day. Through this sale, Cen has also established contact with many merchants, and the products have opened up a market.

Get rich and never forget your hometown

Young Cen also has a strong interest in e-commerce platform. He is trying to make good use of the Internet, a brand-new sales channel, to be a "banana e-commerce" in the new era, and at the same time to build his own official website to fully promote his banana garden.

Cen said that when he was in a foreign land, he often missed home and all kinds of delicious food in his hometown: "Peach slices, meat slices and spicy hot pot in Hechuan always make his mouth water. Every time my family comes to Yunnan, I always want them to bring as many Chongqing specialties as possible … "

Today, enterprises in Cen are among the best in Xishuangbanna, with a planting area of more than 3,000 mu and an annual income of more than 30 million yuan. In April this year, Cen built a restaurant in the center of Hechuan District, his hometown, which can accommodate 180 guests at the same time. This restaurant has nearly 100 employees, more than 90% of whom are Hechuan locals. "I have been homesick for so many years, which is also a little contribution to Hechuan." Cen said.

According to the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on the 9th, during the Spring Festival (January 31, 2022 — February 6), the communication industry earnestly implemented the deployment and requirements of communication support for the Spring Festival and the Winter Olympics to ensure the safe and stable operation of the communication network and create a good environment for digital consumption.

First, mobile data traffic continued to grow rapidly.

The Spring Festival of the Year of the Tiger coincides with the opening of the Winter Olympics, with a strong festive atmosphere. The new way of digital life covers all kinds of social, entertainment and consumption scenes. Driven by this, the mobile Internet access traffic reached 4.349 million TB(1TB=1024GB) in the seven days of the Spring Festival holiday, an increase of 21.7% compared with the seven days of the Spring Festival in 2021, and the growth rate exceeded 20% for three consecutive years; Among them, the first two days of January 31st and February 1st were the peak hours, and the mobile Internet access traffic on that day was 589,000 TB and 654,000 TB, respectively, up by 18.2% and 18.6% year-on-year. At the same time, the substitution of mobile Internet services for calls and short messages has become more apparent. In the seven days of the Spring Festival holiday, the national mobile phone billing time totaled 53.17 billion minutes, down 3% compared with the seven days of the Spring Festival last year. The number of mobile short messages sent nationwide was 20.75 billion, down 2.1% compared with the seven days of the Spring Festival last year, of which the number of mobile short messages sent on January 31st and February 1st was 3.87 billion and 2.95 billion respectively.

Second, take multiple measures to ensure the safe and stable operation of communication networks.

During the Spring Festival guarantee period, basic telecommunications enterprises have invested a total of 237,000 support personnel and more than 30,000 vehicles, and adopted special support measures for epidemic prevention and control, key areas and key routes for holiday activities, including: making plans to deal with personnel flow and centralized business growth, and optimizing network resources allocation and expansion in advance; Do a good job in the service, installation and maintenance of the business hall to ensure the smooth demand of the physical business channels and the timely response of the maintenance channel services; Strengthen inspections and inspections, during which more than 400,000 kilometers of trunk optical cables were inspected and more than 4,600 kilometers of submarine cables were patrolled; Strictly implement the "7×24 hours" special person on duty and the "zero report" system of security incidents, and carry out special monitoring of network security in key areas. Especially during the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, based on the unified deployment of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, basic telecommunications enterprises cooperated closely with relevant units to successfully complete the tasks of communication guarantee and network security, and achieve the goal of "zero failure" and "zero loopholes".

Third, innovative services continuously improve the user experience

During the Spring Festival, basic telecommunications enterprises actively took measures to benefit the people and facilitate the people, launched cross-regional and off-site integration services for returnees, carried out local New Year traffic gifts for migrant workers, and launched preferential products for the left-behind elderly in rural areas. In terms of improving user experience, efforts should be made to reduce the wireless drop rate of key scenes; Ensure that Internet TV is not stuck during the Spring Festival; Realize the commercial live broadcast of 5G+8K+AVS3 (the third generation audio and video coding technology), and the performance is improved by 40% compared with the international video coding standard (HEVC); Promote the application of high dynamic range video technology in the mobile live broadcast of the Winter Olympics, with the brightness of the picture increased by 40 times and the color range increased by 72%. In terms of innovative services, China Telecom has joined hands with CCTV to create a slow live broadcast activity of "Don’t go home during the New Year, see your hometown on the cloud" and start the "cloud returning home" craze; China Mobile Company provides artificial intelligence real-time subtitle service during the Winter Olympics, and provides artificial intelligence watching experience on the "Mi Mi Video" APP; China Unicom has optimized the digital rural service cloud platform to provide smart rural management and accurate epidemic prevention and control services for more than 140,000 administrative villages.

The long-delayed COVID-19 epidemic has once again highlighted the indispensable and extensive influence of digital technology on a global scale. The rise of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, 3D printing, augmented reality and virtual reality, and quantum computing is subverting the traditional economic and social operation mode and shaping new development opportunities. How a country responds to the various changes brought about by the technological revolution and establishes corresponding competitiveness around digital technology will not only determine its future economic growth, but also affect its geopolitical status. In this context, countries all over the world have put the digital transformation in the fields of economy, governance and life into the important agenda of the government, and increased resource input and policy support to improve their digital competitiveness.

Not long ago, the European Center for Digital Competitiveness of the European Advanced Business School (ESCP) released the Report on the Promotion of Global Digital Competitiveness in 2021 (Digital Riser Report 2021）。 The research report comprehensively uses the relevant data from the World Economic Forum, the World Bank and the International Telecommunication Union to evaluate and rank the current digital competitiveness of 137 countries around the world, and extracts the best practices of countries with rapidly rising digital competitiveness, so as to provide decision-making and action guidance for other countries. The relevant research conclusions have certain reference significance for countries around the world to understand the advantages and disadvantages of their digital transformation from a macro perspective and to calibrate the strategic direction of enhancing digital competitiveness.

The research report simplifies the definition of a country’s "digital competitiveness" as 10 equal weight factors in two categories: "digital ecosystem" and "digital thinking mode", and divides all countries into nine groups, namely, G7, G20 and Asia-Pacific, Eurasia, Europe and North America, Latin America and the Caribbean, Middle East and North Africa, South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa defined by the World Economic Forum. On this basis, combined with the data of the three years from 2019 to 2021, it is scored and ranked. Among them, the elements belonging to the "digital ecosystem" include the difficulty of obtaining venture capital, the cost of starting a business, the time required for starting a business, the convenience of hiring international talents, and the digital skills of university graduates; The "digital thinking mode" includes the digital skills of the working population, the attitude towards entrepreneurial risks, the diversity of labor force, the scale of mobile broadband users, and the acceptance of subversive business development ideas by enterprises. The scoring results intuitively reflect the changes of digital competitiveness of countries in terms of sub-items and overall, while limiting the ranking to nine groups is to ensure that the comparison baseline is relatively fair and the results are comparable. By combing the relevant evaluation results, the report puts forward three main findings:

Nowadays, the global digital competitiveness is changing.

The research report shows that while the digital competitiveness of some countries and regions is rapidly improving, some leading digital countries in public perception are gradually losing their advantages. Taking China and the United States as two digital superpowers, for example, during 2019-2021, China’s digital competitiveness improved obviously (+211), while the United States showed a decline (-72). Moreover, whether in the G7 or G20 group, the ranking of the increase in digital competitiveness of the United States is in a relatively backward position. The analysis believes that the decline of digital competitiveness in the United States is mainly driven by the dimension of digital ecosystem, including a series of adverse effects such as increasing immigration and visa barriers, which makes it more difficult to attract international digital and information professionals. The promotion of China’s competitiveness is mainly reflected in its strong advantages in the dimension of digital thinking mode, including the proposal and deployment of a series of national overall strategic plans, and taking scientific and technological innovation and entrepreneurship as important measures to achieve high-quality development.

In addition to the United States, Britain (-85), Sweden (-92) and other developed countries in digital technology also failed to show a significant increase in digital competitiveness. India (-396), Germany (-176) and other big countries even experienced a sharp decline in competitiveness in both digital ecosystems and digital thinking modes. However, some countries, such as Georgia (+153), Egypt (+258), Canada (+47) and Vietnam (+339), which do not have a high digital starting point, have become the leaders in this field because they have implemented a series of fruitful digital transformation measures. To some extent, this shows that the global digital competitiveness pattern is in the process of dynamic reorganization, and new global digital technology leaders will appear in the future.

Digital competitiveness is closely related to digital transformation measures.

The research report collects the "Best Practice" of digital transformation in G7, G20 and seven regional economic groups whose digital competitiveness has increased significantly in the past three years, covering the actual progress in the fields of strategic planning, policy assistance, investment support and perfect supervision. For example, through the implementation of the "National Innovation and Skills Plan", Canada set up a strategic innovation fund for digital transformation, adding more than 70,000 jobs, driving more than 45 billion US dollars of investment, and injecting new vitality into the national economy; Vietnam pushes the "National Digital Transformation Plan in 2025", vigorously advocates the adoption of emerging digital technologies, builds a digital government, and sets a long-term goal that the digital economy will account for 30% of the national GDP by 2030; Egypt has vigorously promoted the "ICT 2030 Strategy" and the "Digital Egypt" plan, thus becoming the leader of digital transformation in the Middle East. Therefore, the report believes that the promotion of national digital competitiveness is closely related to the government’s clear long-term goal of digital transformation and leading the formulation and implementation of comprehensive planning for digital transformation.

To enhance digital competitiveness, we need to support digital innovation and entrepreneurship.

The research report found that countries with rapidly rising digital competitiveness pay great attention to attracting international talents, promoting innovation and entrepreneurship, and strengthening the education and training of digital skills. For example, Italy has established a legal framework to provide visa convenience and tax incentives for start-up companies and scientific and technological talents through the Entrepreneurship Law (ISA), thus attracting tens of thousands of start-up companies to register and operate in Italy in just three years; The Spanish government has launched a series of entrepreneurship support policies, including the Entrepreneurship Promotion Law, the establishment of a national entrepreneurship office, and the introduction of outstanding international talents. Georgia is actively implementing the "2017-2021 Strategy for the Unification of Education and Science" to promote the modernization of science, technology and innovation system.

In view of this, the research report emphasizes that each country needs to fully develop its own digital thinking mode and digital ecosystem, and pay attention to the speed and effectiveness of policy implementation in order to improve its digital competitiveness. At the same time, from the evaluation results of global digital competitiveness in 2021, under the influence of multiple factors, the speed of digital transformation varies greatly among different countries, and the global competition pattern around digital transformation also shows a rapid change trend, and there may be many possibilities in the future. Generally speaking, countries that attach importance to and vigorously promote digital transformation can basically make significant progress in a relatively short period of time. Even countries with weak digital foundation can realize the acceleration of digital transformation after taking appropriate actions and measures. Therefore, governments should attach great importance to and carefully consider the future strategic decision-making and management mode in this key field, and effectively promote digital transformation based on actual national conditions.

Expert Consultant: Zhang Zhifu, Senior Engineer of National Meteorological Information Center.

All night long, the city was covered with silver and snow-this is the winter picture that many people are looking forward to. According to the forecast of Beijing Meteorological Observatory,twelvemoon10Japan, Beijing will usher in2023The first large-scale obvious snowfall in the winter of 2008.

Are there fewer and fewer days of snow in Beijing?

In recent years, the biggest feeling of people living in Beijing is that there seems to be less and less snowfall. When I was a child, I could make a snowman and have a snowball fight in winter. Now it is hard to meet snowflakes. Let’s follow the meteorological data to see if there are really fewer snowy days in Beijing.

From the data of winter snowfall days in Beijing (Observatory Station) from 1961 to 2022, it can be seen that the year with the most snowfall observed in winter in Beijing was the winter of 1963, with a total of 29 days, and the second largest was the 27 days in 1968. The year with the least snowfall days appeared in the winter of 1982, with only three days, followed by the winters of 2006, 2010, 2013 and 2022, with only four days of snowfall in the whole winter.

In addition, since 2000, the annual average number of snowfall days in Beijing has decreased compared with that in the 20th century. Among the top 10 snowfall days in history, the years after 2000 accounted for 7 seats. Since 2000, there have been only three years in which the number of snowfall days has reached more than 20 days, namely, the winter of 2000 (22 days), the winter of 2002 (23 days) and the winter of 2012 (23 days).

At present, during the heavy snow solar term, as the temperature gradually drops, compared with the light snow solar term, the probability of snowfall in the heavy snow solar term is higher. According to the historical data of "Tianqing" of the National Meteorological Information Center, during the heavy snow solar term from 1991 to 2020, the average snowfall days in Beijing were 0.8 days, and the average precipitation was 0.92 mm.

How is the first snow day defined in Beijing?

According to the definition of the first snow day in Beijing (Trial), the first snow day in Beijing refers to the date when a large-scale snowfall occurred for the first time in Beijing. There are 20 national meteorological stations in Beijing, and there are five observation stations in the urban area, namely Observatory, Chaoyang, Haidian, Fengtai and Shijingshan.

Meet one of the following conditions can be identified as the first snow day in Beijing that year:

First, snowfall was observed at more than 10 stations in 20 manned weather stations in the city;

Second, snowfall has been observed at five observation stations in the urban area (Observatory, Chaoyang, Haidian, Fengtai and Shijingshan), or at three or more of the five stations in the urban area, and the snowfall of at least one station is ≥ 0.1mm..

When does the first snow usually come in Beijing?

According to statistics, the first snow in winter in Beijing mostly occurs in November and December. The average first snow day in Beijing from 1991 to 2020 is December 3rd.

The statistical period of the first snow day is from October 1st of that year to May 31st of the following year. In some years, the first snow only appears in January or February of the following year, so there will be new year’s eve. For example, the sunrise of the first snow in winter in 1970/1971 is now on January 19, 1971 (the years with the first snow in January and February are the following year of the statistical year).

According to statistics, since 1961, the earliest date of the first snowfall was October 31st of the winter of 1987/1988, which was the only snowfall in Beijing since 1961, one month earlier than the average first snowfall date.

The latest appearance date was February 11th of the following winter in 1983/1984, which was more than two months later than the average first snow date. It is worth mentioning that the first snow day ranks in the top five at the latest. Except for the winter of 1983/1984, the second to fifth snow days all appeared after 2010.

　　Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, the Central Leading Group for Inspection Work and inspection agencies at all levels have faithfully performed the duties entrusted by party constitution, strictly implemented the regulations on inspection work, unswervingly deepened political inspections, kept pace with the times, innovated ways and means, paid equal attention to finding problems and implementing rectification, actively explored up-and-down linkage, and achieved remarkable results and achieved a good start. The party’s patrol work adheres to practice, understanding, re-practice and re-understanding, deepening in inheritance and developing in deepening. In the face of the new era and new requirements, we must continue to thoroughly study and implement the important exposition and requirements of the Supreme Leader’s General Secretary on inspection work, sum up and apply the achievements of inspection theory, practice and system innovation, deepen the understanding of regularity, and strive to make inspection work more scientific, rigorous and effective, so as to make greater contributions to promoting the comprehensive and strict administration of the party, consolidating and developing the overwhelming victory in the anti-corruption struggle, winning the battle to build a well-off society in an all-round way, realizing the goal of "two hundred years" and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　First, thoroughly study and implement the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, and deeply understand the responsibility and mission of the inspection work in the new era.

　　Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era is the latest achievement of Marxism in China, the action guide for the whole party and people to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and the guiding ideology that the party and the country must adhere to for a long time. This is a scientific conclusion drawn by our Party from the combination of history and reality, theory and practice, domestic and international, and enshrined in party constitution and the Constitution. We deeply feel that this important thought has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, showing the majestic power to lead the new era, the reform, development and stability of various undertakings have made continuous progress, and the pace of building a well-off society in an all-round way has been firmly advanced. To do a good job in the patrol work in the new era, it is essential to consistently arm the mind, guide practice and promote work with Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era, thoroughly implement the spirit of the 19th Party Congress, consciously think and understand in the overall situation of the party and the country, accurately grasp the responsibilities, missions and requirements entrusted by the new era, and earnestly enhance the ideological consciousness, political consciousness and action consciousness of doing a good job.

　　Deeply understand the important guarantee role of patrol in winning the victory and building a well-off society in an all-round way.Realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the greatest dream of China people in modern times. This dream embodies the long-cherished wish of several generations of Chinese. Standing in the new era, facing the unprecedented changes in the world and the complicated and ever-changing domestic and international situation, the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made strategic arrangements for the goal of "two hundred years". This year and next year will be the crucial period and the closing period for building a well-off society in an all-round way and achieving the goal of the first century. The CPC Central Committee has deployed a series of major tasks. Central decision-making and implementation by all parties; The goal is set and must be implemented. The more important the historical juncture, the more arduous and arduous the task, the more we must resolutely achieve the "two maintenances", unite our will, act in unison, and move forward in unison; The more we must achieve "three strictness and three realities", earnestly perform our duties and responsibilities, and creatively implement them in combination with reality. As the party’s patrol and political patrol, patrol shoulders the great political responsibility of supervising the implementation of the party’s major policies and ensuring the smooth implementation of the Party Central Committee’s decrees. We must improve our political position and consciously serve the overall situation, adhere to the patrol work policy of "discovering problems, forming a shock, promoting reform and promoting development", resolutely break the formalism and bureaucracy in implementing the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee, resolutely correct and cure problems such as selective implementation and false implementation, and form a political ecology with a clean atmosphere.Provide a strong guarantee for building a well-off society in an all-round way.

　　Deeply understand the important role of patrol in improving the supervision system of the party and the state.Our party’s overall leadership and long-term governance must put public power under effective supervision to ensure that public power is not abused or deteriorated. The Third Plenary Session of the Eighteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China made arrangements for comprehensively deepening the reform, proposed to strengthen the restriction and supervision system of power operation, and demanded to improve the inspection system of the central government, provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities to achieve full coverage of localities, departments, enterprises and institutions; The 19 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made further arrangements for improving the supervision system of the party and the state, and demanded deepening political inspections; Party constitution has a special article in the "Party’s Organizational System" to stipulate the patrol inspection system. As a strategic institutional arrangement of inner-party supervision, patrol must closely focus on the goal of improving the party and state supervision system, promote the organic combination of top-down organizational supervision and bottom-up democratic supervision, promote the effective connection between patrol supervision and discipline supervision, supervision supervision and stationed supervision, promote the coordinated connection between inner-party supervision and external supervision, form a full-coverage power supervision pattern, let public power run under strict supervision, and let party member cadres and those who exercise public power get used to working and living in an environment under supervision and restraint, so as to ensure the use of power according to law.

　　Deeply understand the important sword role of patrol in unswervingly administering the party strictly and consolidating the overwhelming victory in the anti-corruption struggle.At present, new major achievements have been made in strictly administering the Party in an all-round way, and the anti-corruption struggle has won an overwhelming victory. However, the situation is still severe and complicated. Strictly administering the Party in an all-round way is always on the road. At any time, we must not have the idea of relaxing and resting our feet. We must be firm, persistent and make contributions for a long time. The patrol work should accurately grasp the situation and tasks of strictly administering the party in an all-round way, insist that the party should govern the party in an all-round way, persist in seeking truth from facts, adhere to the rule of law and discipline, persist in the word "strict" for a long time, dare to struggle, be good at fighting, play an important role in maintaining party rules, strictly observing party discipline, and improving party style, and play a unique role in promoting non-corruption, non-corruption and non-corruption. It is necessary to take finding problems as the main task, focus on key people, key things and key problems, maintain the high-pressure situation of punishing corruption, and continue to strengthen the shock of not daring to rot; Find out the shortcomings of the system and mechanism through inspections, promote deepening reform, improve the system, standardize the operation of power, and secure the cage that cannot be corrupted; Take patrol as the process of strengthening party spirit education, and guide party member cadres to strengthen the party’s consciousness and discipline consciousness, and enhance their consciousness of not wanting to rot. This is the fundamental responsibility of patrol as a weapon of the party and the country.

　　Second, closely follow the fundamental task of "two maintenance" and promote the concretization and normalization of political supervision.

　　Patrol is essentially political supervision. "the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China’s Opinions on Strengthening the Party’s Political Construction" clearly requires "deepening political inspections, strengthening political supervision, and making efforts to find and correct political deviations". To promote the high-quality development of inspections, political supervision must be strengthened. Political supervision is not vague, but concrete and practical. We should firmly grasp the "program" and "soul" of "two maintenance" and give full play to the role of political guidance. It is necessary to focus on the implementation of the political responsibilities of party committees (leading groups), supervise and inspect the implementation of the party’s line, principles and policies, the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee, and the implementation of the spirit of the important instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, prevent and resolve major risks, and find and promote solutions to problems such as policies, countermeasures, orders and prohibitions. It is necessary to focus on strict political discipline and rules, strengthen supervision and inspection of the implementation of laws and regulations such as party constitution and certain norms of inner-party political life under the new situation, focus on finding and promoting solutions to problems such as political alienation, ideological degeneration, organizational cronyism, duplicity in action, double-dealing and "seven haves", and promote the purification of political ecology. We should focus on getting rid of formalism and bureaucracy, and urge party organizations at all levels and party member cadres to fully understand the serious harm of formalism and bureaucracy politically.Efforts should be made to find and promote the solution of formalism and bureaucracy problems in implementing the major decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, connecting with the masses, serving economic and social development, learning style, inspection and investigation, and to thoroughly find and correct the wrong manifestations of not fearing, not caring, shouting slogans and pretending to be deployed by the CPC Central Committee, as well as the outstanding problems such as vague statements, making momentum in response to the situation, perfunctory responsibilities, etc., so as to promote the cracking of ideological roots and resolutely eradicate the breeding and spread of formalism and bureaucracy. We should focus on rectifying corruption and work style around the masses. Adhere to the people as the center, focus on finding and promoting the solution of people and things that the masses strongly reflect, and promote the solution of practical problems that affect the vital interests of the masses, so that the masses can feel that strict management of the party and the party is at hand, and that the integrity of the party and anti-corruption are at hand, and constantly consolidate the political foundation of the party’s governance. It is necessary to accurately grasp the connotation and scope of political supervision, analyze and judge problems realistically, and prevent generalization and simplification.

　　Three, closely form a "four full coverage" power supervision pattern, and promote the integration of inspection supervision and other supervision.

　　Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee has conducted two rounds of inspections and visited 65 party organizations. Party committees (party groups) of all provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities and central units conducted inspections of party organizations in 200 cities, 1,040 counties and 1,416 enterprises and institutions, and made solid progress in full coverage. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that it is necessary to promote full coverage with high quality, connect inspection supervision with other supervision, and focus on it in a three-dimensional way to form a joint force. We should thoroughly grasp the law of power supervision and effectively enhance the effectiveness of supervision. On the one hand, we should adhere to the patrol work policy, strengthen the problem orientation, combine patrol with purifying the political ecology, combine with rectifying the problems strongly reflected by the masses, and combine with solving the outstanding problems found in daily supervision. We should be good at finding problems, reporting problems truthfully, promoting the solution of problems, and give full play to the role of patrol in strengthening self-supervision within the party. On the other hand, we should pay more attention to improving the "four full coverage" supervision pattern of discipline supervision, supervision supervision, stationed supervision and patrol supervision, deepen the cooperation mechanism between patrol and discipline inspection and supervision, organization, audit, letters and visits, and build a scientific, strict and effective supervision network, so that supervision and restraint will follow wherever power is exercised. The central inspection agency and the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection have studied and established a cooperation mechanism. Discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels and inspection agencies should also establish and improve relevant mechanisms in light of the actual situation, share shared information, resources, strength, means and supervision results, and effectively turn institutional advantages into supervision efficiency.

　　Fourth, closely follow the "second half of the article" of the inspection and promote the implementation of the main responsibility and supervision responsibility of the inspection and rectification.

　　Patrol rectification is the touchstone to test the "four consciousnesses". If the rectification is not implemented, it is disloyal to the party and irresponsible to the people. It is necessary to take the promotion of rectification as the key link in the inspection work, and come up with effective and effective measures to grasp it and grasp it in place. It is necessary to compact the patrol and rectify the main responsibility. Establish a list of rectification responsibilities, and the party Committee (party group) secretary shall assume the responsibility of the first responsible person, and directly deploy, directly participate in and directly supervise the inspection and rectification. All members of the leading group should put their work, responsibilities and themselves into it, insist on starting from their own level, rectify any problems if there are any, and whoever should rectify them should resolutely prevent perfunctory response, shirking their responsibilities and making mistakes while changing, and resolutely prevent the simple accountability of subordinates from replacing the rectification at the same level. It is necessary to strengthen supervision and inspection of rectification. The discipline inspection and supervision organs should take the initiative to follow up, take the supervision and rectification as an important starting point for daily supervision, and do the daily supervision in depth and detail through investigation and supervision, letter supervision, on-site supervision, and return visit supervision. The organization department should organically combine the supervision and rectification with the daily work of selecting and employing people, and strengthen the organizational guarantee for rectification. It is necessary to combine solving common problems and outstanding problems with improving the system and promote the formation of a long-term mechanism for rectification. We should make good use of the sharp weapon of accountability, and be seriously accountable for the failure to implement the rectification responsibility and the ineffective rectification. It is necessary to improve the open mechanism for rectification. Take the public rectification as an important measure to stimulate the endogenous motivation of rectification, and regularly inspect the rectification, including the rectification measures, planning arrangements, rectification results and progress of the inspected party organizations.We must be specific, timely and accurate, consciously accept the supervision of the masses, and win the trust of the people with the effectiveness of rectification.

　　Five, closely follow the patrol work to develop in depth and extend to the grassroots, and promote the improvement of the patrol inspection pattern of up and down linkage and up and down.

　　It is a clear requirement of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to establish a supervision network linking patrol inspection up and down. The fundamental purpose is to strengthen the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee on patrol inspection, so as to achieve full horizontal coverage, full vertical links and "a game of chess" throughout the country. It is necessary to study and formulate the guidance of the up-and-down linkage supervision network for patrol inspection, strengthen the top-level design, improve the system and mechanism, and promote the construction of a more perfect, rigorous and efficient patrol inspection pattern. It is necessary to deepen the expansion of inspections in provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. Provincial patrol is the key link of up-and-down linkage, which plays a connecting role. The party committees of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities should thoroughly implement the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee on inspection work in light of the actual situation, strengthen overall planning and make overall arrangements; Strengthen the leadership, guidance and supervision of the inspection work in cities and counties, patrol with patrol belts, coordinate regional linkage, and push the inspection work to the end. It is necessary to promote the inspection of central units by classification. The central unit has a wide range, a wide field and a large number, which is an important link of up-and-down linkage and integration. It is necessary to pay close attention to the study and formulation of guiding opinions on the inspection work of central units, strengthen classified guidance, and promote related work; Combined with the characteristics of industries and fields, we will establish a coordination mechanism with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, the Ministry of Education and other units to jointly promote the inspection and inspection of universities under the central management of enterprises, party committee secretaries and principals. It is necessary to promote the inspection of cities and counties to extend to the grassroots. City and county inspection is the basic link of up-and-down linkage. It is necessary to compact the main responsibility of city and county party committees, strengthen the organization and leadership of inspection work in this area, and formulate work plans and specific measures in time.Efforts will be made to strengthen the supervision and inspection of the implementation of the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, such as benefiting the people and the people, tackling poverty, revitalizing the countryside, and eliminating evils, and strive to find and promote the solution of corruption and unhealthy practices around the masses, so that the masses can have more and more direct sense of happiness and security.

　　Six, closely follow the standardization of inspection work, and promote the compliance with the rules and regulations in accordance with the law throughout the whole process and all aspects.

　　Standardization of inspection work is an inherent requirement for implementing the rule of law and the rule of the party, and it is also an important guarantee for the high-quality development of inspection work. We should conscientiously implement the important requirements of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, improve working rules, standardize working procedures, strictly control internal management, and take standardization construction as a basic work. It is necessary to improve and implement the inspection system. Summarize the experience of practice and innovation in time, concretize and program the principled and general provisions in the party constitution and the patrol regulations, and gradually form an institutional system with party constitution as the foundation, patrol regulations as the mainstay, supporting supporting systems, coordinated content, strict procedures, complete facilities and effective use, so as to ensure that the patrol inspection work has rules to follow and rules to follow. Strengthen the implementation of the system, resolutely act according to the party rules, patrol regulations and work rules of party constitution, adhere to and improve the patrol report system, strictly implement the requirements of "not interfering with the normal work of the inspected areas (units) and failing to perform the duties of discipline review", strictly abide by the boundaries of duties and prevent chaos. It is necessary to strengthen information construction. Comprehensively promote the use of patrol inspection data management system, starting from the central patrol organization, and drive the whole system to connect up and down, integrate resources and form a joint force. Formulate guiding opinions on the informatization construction of patrol inspection, promote the establishment of a scientific, efficient and safe network platform for patrol inspection, make it reliable, controllable, usable and easy to use, and promote standardization through informatization. It is necessary to strengthen standardized team management. Put the party’s political construction in the first place and carry out in-depth "Do not forget your initiative mind, remember the mission "theme education, improve political consciousness and political ability. Select the team leader and deputy team leader, strengthen the education and training of discipline and law of patrol cadres, and improve the professional level of team rule of law. Strict discipline requirements, fully implement the post-evaluation system of discipline style, seriously investigate and deal with behaviors such as patrolling for personal gain, exceeding authority, running wind and leaking air, and resolutely prevent "black under the lamp".
