introduction

Although the big language model shows a similar understanding ability to human beings, can the AI system really understand the language like human beings? Must the pattern of machine understanding be the same as that of human understanding? Recently, kracauer, former director of the Santa Fe Institute, and melani Michel, a researcher, published an article in PNAS to explore whether large-scale pre-training language models (LLMs) can understand languages and their coded physical and social situations in a similar way to humans.

This paper discusses the pros and cons respectively, and further discusses the key issues of broader intelligent science. In the author’s opinion, further expanding the interdisciplinary research between artificial intelligence and natural science is expected to broaden the perspective of multi-discipline, summarize the advantages and boundaries of different methods, and meet the challenge of the integration of cross-cognitive concepts.

Keywords: artificial intelligence, large language model, mental model

Title of the article:

The debate over understanding in AI’s large language models

What is "understanding"? This problem has long attracted the attention of philosophers, cognitive scientists and educators. The classical research on "understanding" is almost always based on human beings and other animals. However, with the rise of large-scale artificial intelligence systems, especially large-scale language models, there has been a heated discussion in the AI community: can machines understand natural languages now, so as to understand the physical and social situations described by languages?

This discussion is not limited to the category of natural science; The degree and way that machines understand our world determines to what extent we can trust the robust and transparent behavior ability of AI in the task of interacting with human beings, including AI driving cars, AI diagnosing diseases, AI caring for the elderly, AI educating children and so on. At the same time, the current discussion shows the key problem for an intelligent system to "understand": how to distinguish statistical correlation and causal mechanism?

Although the AI system shows seemingly intelligent behavior in many specific tasks, until recently, the artificial intelligence research community still generally believed that machines could not understand the data they processed like humans. For example, face recognition software does not understand that the face is a part of the body, the role of facial expressions in social interaction, what it means to "face" unpleasant situations, or the ways and means of making faces. Similarly, speech-to-text and machine translation programs do not understand the language they handle, and the automatic driving system does not understand the micro-expressions and body language of drivers and pedestrians when avoiding accidents. Therefore, these AI systems are often regarded as fragile, and the key evidence of lack of "understanding" is that they are unpredictable errors and lack of robustness in generalization ability [1].

Does the big language model really understand language?

However, in the past few years, the situation has changed. A new type of AI system has been popular in the research field and has had an impact, which has changed some people’s prospects and views on machine understanding languages. These systems are called large language models (LLMs), large pre-training models or basic models [2]. They are deep neural networks with billions to trillions of parameters (weights), which are "pre-trained" on a huge natural language corpus of several terabytes, including a large number of network snapshots, online books and other contents. During training, the task of these networks is to predict the hidden part of the input sentence. This method is called "self-supervised learning". The final network is a complex statistical model of the correlation between words and phrases in its training data.

These models can be used to generate natural language, fine-tune specific language tasks [3], or further train to better match the "user’s intention" [4]. For example, LLMs such as OpenAI’s famous GPT-3[5], more recently ChatGPT[6] and Google’s PaLM[7] can produce amazing human-like texts and dialogues; In addition, although these models are not trained for the purpose of reasoning, some studies think that they have human-like reasoning ability [8]. How LLMs accomplished these feats is a mystery to ordinary people and scientists. Most of the internal operation modes of these networks are opaque, and even the researchers who built them have only a little intuitive feeling about such a huge-scale system. Neuroscientist Terrence Sejnowski described the appearance of LLM in this way: "Singularity arrival, like whispers, came one after another, speaking four dialects. The only thing we know is that LLMs are not human beings … Some of their behaviors seem to be intelligent, but if they are not human intelligence, what is it? " [9]

Although the most advanced LLMs are impressive, they are still prone to vulnerabilities and mistakes that are not like human beings. However, such network defects are significantly improved when the number of parameters and the scale of training data set are enlarged [10], so some researchers think that LLMs (or its multimodal version) will realize human-level intelligence and understanding ability under a sufficiently large network and training data set, and a new slogan of AI appears: "Scale is everything" [11, 12].

The above proposition is a school of AI academic circles in LLMs discussion. Some people think that these networks really understand language and can reason in a universal way (although "not yet" up to human level). For example, Google’s LaMDA system constructs a fluent dialogue system by pre-training the text and then fine-tuning the dialogue [13], and an AI researcher even thinks that such a system "has the ability to truly understand a large number of concepts" [14] and even "moves in a conscious direction" [15]. Another machine language expert regards LLMs as the touchstone leading to general human level AI: "Some optimistic researchers believe that we have witnessed the birth of a knowledge injection system with a certain universal intelligence" [16]. Others believe that LLMs probably captures important aspects of meaning, and its working mode is similar to a striking explanation of human cognition, that is, meaning comes from conceptual roles. ”[17]。 Opponents were labeled as "AI Denialism" [18].

On the other hand, some people think that although the output of large-scale pre-training models such as GPT-3 or LaMDA is fluent, they still can’t understand because they have no world experience or thinking mode; The text prediction training of LLMs only learned the form of language, not the meaning [19-21]. A recent article holds that "even if we train until the universe dies, the systems trained only by language will never approach human intelligence, and these systems are doomed to have only superficial understanding and will never approach the comprehensiveness of our thinking" [22]. Some scholars believe that it is wrong to apply the concepts of "intelligence", "agent" and "understanding" to LLMs, because LLMs is more similar to libraries or encyclopedias, and it is packaging human knowledge repositories instead of agents [23]. For example, humans know that tickling makes us laugh because we have bodies. LLMs can use the word "tickle", but it has obviously never felt this way. Understanding tickling is not a mapping between two words, but a mapping between words and feelings.

Those who hold the position of "LLMs can’t really understand" think that what surprises us is not the fluency of LLMs itself, but the fact that the fluency is beyond intuition with the growth of model scale. Anyone who attributes understanding or consciousness to LLMs is a victim of the Eliza effect [24]. "Eliza effect" means that we humans tend to attribute our understanding and agency ability to machines with even faint signs of human language or behavior. It is named after the chat robot "Eliza" developed by Joseph Weizenbaum in the 1960s. Although it is very simple, it still deceives people into believing that it understands them [25].

A survey of active scholars in the field of natural language processing in 2022 also confirmed the differences of views in this discussion. One of the contents of the survey is to ask the respondents whether they agree with the following statement about whether LLMs understands language in principle: "Some generative models (language models) that are only trained on text can understand natural language in some extraordinary sense given sufficient data and computing resources." The answers of 480 people were almost half (51%) to half (49%) [26].

Supporters’ evidence that LLMs has understanding ability is mainly based on the performance of model ability: both the subjective quality judgment of the text generated by the model according to the prompt words (although this judgment may be easily influenced by Eliza effect) and the objective evaluation in the benchmark data set used to evaluate the language understanding and reasoning ability. For example, two commonly used benchmark data sets for evaluating LLMs are General Language Understanding Assessment (GLUE)[27] and its successor SuperGLUE[28], which include large-scale data sets and tasks, such as "Text Implication" (given two sentences, can the meaning of the second sentence be inferred from the first sentence? Do the given words have the same meaning in two different sentences? ) and logical answers, etc. OpenAI’s GPT-3 (with 175 billion parameters) performs unexpectedly well in these tasks [5], while Google’s PaLM (with 540 billion parameters) performs better in these tasks [7], which can reach or even surpass human performance in the same task.

Does machine understanding have to reproduce human understanding?

What are the implications of these results for LLMs? From the choice of terms such as generalized language understanding, natural language reasoning, reading comprehension and common sense reasoning, it is not difficult to see that the test of the above benchmark data set implies the premise that the machine must reproduce the way of human understanding. But is this necessary for "understanding"? Not necessarily. Take the benchmark evaluation of "reasoning and understanding task" as an example [29], in each task example, a natural language "argument" and two declarative sentences will be given; The task is to determine which statement is consistent with the argument, as shown in the following example:

Argument: criminals should have the right to vote. A person who stole a car at the age of 17 should not be deprived of the right to become a full citizen for life.

Inference A: Stealing a car is a felony.

Inference B: Stealing a car is not a felony.

BERT achieved a performance similar to that of human beings in this benchmark task [31]. Perhaps we can draw the conclusion that BERT can understand natural language like human beings. However, a research team found that some clue words (such as "not") appearing in inference sentences can help the model predict the correct answer. When researchers change data sets to avoid these clues, BERT’s performance becomes no different from random guessing. This is an obvious example of relying on shortcut learning-a phenomenon that is often mentioned in machine learning, that is, the learning system obtains good performance on a specific benchmark task by analyzing the pseudo-correlation in the data set, rather than through humanlike understanding [32-35].

Usually, this correlation is not obvious to humans who perform the same task. Although shortcut learning has been found in the task of evaluating language understanding and other artificial intelligence models, there may still be many undiscovered "shortcuts". Pre-training language models, such as LaMDA and PaLM of Google, which have hundreds of billions of parameters and train on nearly trillions of text data, have strong ability to encode data correlation. Therefore, the benchmark task used to evaluate human understanding ability may not be applicable to this kind of model evaluation [36-38]. For large-scale LLMs (and its possible derivative models), the complex statistical correlation calculation can make the model bypass the human-like understanding ability and obtain a nearly perfect model performance.

Although there is no strict definition of the word "human-like understanding", it is not based on the huge statistical model that LLMs has learned at present. On the contrary, it is based on concepts-the internal mental model of external categories, situations and events, as well as the internal mental model of human beings’ own internal state and "self". For human beings, understanding language (and other nonverbal information) depends on mastering concepts other than language (or other information) expression, and is not limited to understanding the statistical properties of language symbols. In fact, in the past research history in the field of cognitive science, we have always emphasized the understanding of the essence of concepts and how understanding comes from concepts that are clear and hierarchical and contain potential causality. This understanding model helps human beings abstract past knowledge and experience to make steady prediction, generalization and analogy; Or conduct combinatorial reasoning and counterfactual reasoning; Or actively intervene in the real world to test hypotheses; Or explain what you understand to others.

Undoubtedly, although some LLMs with larger and larger scale sporadically show similar human understanding ability, the current artificial intelligence system does not have these abilities, including the most advanced LLMs. Some people think that this kind of understanding ability can give human beings the ability that pure statistical models can’t get. Although the large-scale model shows extraordinary formal linguistic competence, that is, the ability to produce grammatical fluency and human-like language, it still lacks human-like functional language competence based on conceptual understanding, that is, the ability to correctly understand and use language in the real world. Interestingly, there is a similar phenomenon in physics research, that is, the contradiction between the successful application of mathematical techniques and this functional understanding ability. For example, a long-standing controversy about quantum mechanics is that it provides an effective calculation method without conceptual understanding.

Understanding the essence of concepts has always been one of the topics of academic debate. To what extent the concept is domain-specific and innate, rather than more universal and learned [55-60], or to what extent the concept is based on concrete metaphor and presented in the brain through dynamic and situation-based simulation [64], or under what conditions the concept is supported by language [65-67], social learning [68-70] and culture [

Despite the above arguments, concepts-which exist in the form of causal mental models as mentioned above-have always been regarded as the understanding unit of human cognitive ability. Undoubtedly, looking at the development track of human understanding ability, whether it is individual understanding or collective understanding, it can be abstracted as a highly compressed model based on causality, similar to Ptolemy’s theory of planetary revolution, Kepler’s theory of elliptical orbit, and Newton’s concise and causal explanation of planetary motion according to gravity. Different from machines, human beings seem to have a strong internal drive to pursue this form of understanding in scientific research and daily life. We can describe this kind of motivation as requiring little data, minimal model, clear causal dependence and strong mechanical intuition.

The debate about LLMs’ comprehension ability mainly focuses on the following aspects:

1) Is the understanding ability of these model systems just a kind of error? (that is, the connection between language symbols is confused with the connection between symbols and physical, social or mental experiences). In short, will these model systems never gain human-like understanding?

Or, conversely, 2) Will these model systems (or their recent derivative models) really create a large number of concept-based mental models that are essential for human understanding without real-world experience? If so, will increasing the scale of the model create a better concept?

Or, 3) if these model systems can’t create such concepts, can their unimaginable huge statistical correlation systems produce the ability equivalent to human understanding? Or, does this mean that a new form of higher-order logical ability that humans can’t reach is possible? From this point of view, is it still appropriate to call this correlation "pseudo-correlation" or question the phenomenon of "shortcut learning"? Is it feasible to regard the behavior of the model system as a series of emerging and non-human understanding activities, rather than "no understanding ability"? These problems are no longer limited to abstract philosophical discussion, but involve the very realistic concerns about the ability, robustness, security and ethics brought about by the increasingly important role played by artificial intelligence systems in human daily life.

Although various schools of researchers have their own opinions on the debate on "LLMs comprehension ability", the cognitive science-based methods currently used to gain understanding insight are not enough to answer such questions about LLMs. In fact, some researchers have applied psychological tests to LLMs, which were originally used to evaluate human understanding and reasoning mechanisms. It is found that LLMs does show human-like reactions in theory of mind tests [14, 75] and human-like abilities and preferences in reasoning evaluation [76–78] in some cases. Although this kind of test is considered as an alternative test to evaluate human universal ability, it may not be the case for artificial intelligence model systems.

A new understanding ability

As mentioned earlier, LLMs has an unexplained ability to learn the correlation between information symbols in training data and input, and can use this correlation to solve problems. In contrast, humans seem to have applied compressed concepts that reflect their real-world experiences. When psychological tests designed for human beings are applied to LLMs, the interpretation results often depend on the assumptions of human cognition, which may not be correct at all for the model. In order to make progress, scientists need to design new benchmark tasks and research methods to deeply understand different types of intelligence and understanding mechanisms, including the new form of "exotic, mind-like entities" that we have created [79]. Perhaps we are on the right path to explore the essence of "understanding" [80, 81].

With the increasing discussion about LLMs’ understanding ability and the emergence of more capable model systems, it seems that it is necessary to strengthen the research on intelligent science in the future in order to understand the concept of human and machine more widely. As the neuroscientist Terrence Sejnowski pointed out, "The differences among experts on LLMs intelligence show that our traditional concept based on natural intelligence is not sufficient. [9] "If LLMs and other models successfully make use of strong statistical correlation, it may also be considered as a new" understanding "ability, which can realize extraordinary and superhuman prediction ability. For example, DeepMind’s AlphaZero and AlphaFold model systems [82, 83] seem to bring an intuitive form of "alien" to the fields of chess and protein’s structure prediction [84, 85] respectively.

Therefore, it can be said that in recent years, machines with emerging understanding modes have appeared in the field of artificial intelligence, which may be a new species in a larger zoo of related concepts. With the research progress made in the process of pursuing the essence of intelligence, these new understanding modes will emerge continuously. Just as different species adapt to different environments, our intelligent system will be better adapted to different problems. Problems that rely on a lot of historical encoded knowledge (emphasizing model performance) will continue to favor large-scale statistical models, such as LLMs, while those that rely on limited knowledge and strong causal mechanism will prefer human intelligence. The challenge in the future is to develop new research methods to reveal the understanding mechanism of different forms of intelligence in detail, distinguish their advantages and limitations, and learn how to integrate these different cognitive models.

● 　Key points of investment

China highway logistics industry: the economic artery in urgent need of resource integration. China highway logistics freight volume accounts for 80% of the total freight volume, which is the main artery of China economy. However, the efficiency of the industry is not high. China’s trucks have an average effective mileage of 300 kilometers per day, while the United States can reach 1000 kilometers. There are more than 20 million trucks in China, and the empty rate is as high as 40% or more. The average interval between vehicle parking and distribution is about 72 hours. There are more than 7.5 million highway logistics enterprises in China, and each household only has 1.5 trucks, and more than 90% of them are in the hands of individual drivers. The crux of the current resource mismatch lies in the asymmetry of freight logistics information.

China Car-Goods Matching Market: Two Operating Models Coexist. Information asymmetry has given birth to the demand for matching between cars and goods. In the past, the traditional vehicle-cargo matching platform was mainly offline entities, including distribution stations, highway ports and logistics parks. At present, with the intervention of Internet, a virtual vehicle-cargo matching platform has been formed. By using the Internet, offline vehicle sources and goods sources are integrated through the development of logistics APP, WEB or other systems, and information is released online through APP, web or other systems and accurately matched, hoping to solve the asymmetry of logistics information.

Enlightenment from the development of American freight logistics industry. Truck transportation in the United States is extremely developed and is the main mode of transportation in the United States. Among them, truck transportation market scale exceeded US$ 600 billion, accounting for about 80% of the total. Developed infrastructure and high degree of intensification are the two main reasons for its high efficiency. The revelation of Robinson’s case is that the ability to integrate information and resources is the core. It does not own a truck, but it is the first truck transportation company in the United States, which basically monopolizes most of the road transportation resources in the United States and ranks seventh in global freight transportation.

Future Outlook: The Ultimate Version of Car-Goods Matching? Highway ports are built to eliminate them. In the past year, more than 200 car and cargo matching apps have been produced, but there have been few successes. There are three bottlenecks: 1. It is difficult to standardize supply and demand information; 2. Lack of integrity certification system; 3. Vehicles tend to have a stable supply of goods, and shippers prefer a stable transportation capacity, which makes it difficult for existing software to get involved in the mainstream market. We believe that the highway logistics industry will have offline matching platforms such as distribution stations, highways and logistics parks for a long time, and they have the strongest ability to gather traffic and people in scattered industries. They have the strongest resources and ability to integrate and innovate, and the ultimate mode of their development is to eliminate intermediary matchmakers.

Investment strategy. We suggest paying attention to the distribution and integration of logistics park resources in the country to form the Chuanhua shares of highway port network. For details of Chuanhua shares, please refer to our in-depth report "Chuanhua Logistics-China Highway Integrators Reloaded into Battle" on July 3 this year.

Risk warning. The economic downturn has led to a decline in freight demand; The offline matching platform is invested too much; The promotion of value-added services failed to meet expectations.

1、China highway logistics industry: the economic artery in urgent need of resource integration

Modern logistics industry is the basic industry and producer service industry of national economic development, which is connected with production and consumption at one end. Since 2007, the scale of domestic social logistics market has shown a steady linear growth. In 2013, the total logistics cost was 10 trillion, and in 2014 it exceeded 11 trillion. At present, the proportion of China’s logistics cost to price cost and GDP is much higher than that of developed countries. In 2013, the ratio of China’s total social logistics cost to GDP was 18%, which dropped to 16.6% in 2014, while it was only about 8% in western countries. The overall capacity of China’s logistics industry is obviously insufficient.

1.1. Current situation of highway logistics industry: Highway is the main form of goods flow, but its efficiency is low.

At present, the freight volume of highway logistics in China accounts for 80% of the total freight volume. Therefore, the reason why the overall logistics capacity of China is weak is the low efficiency of highway logistics capacity. At present, China’s trucks have an average effective mileage of 300 kilometers per day, while the United States can reach 1000 kilometers. There are more than 20 million trucks in China, and the empty rate is as high as 40% or more. The average interval between vehicle parking and distribution is about 72 hours. Among them, a lot of time is wasted on waiting for goods and distributing goods, which causes great waste of resources and inefficient tail gas emission, which intensifies air pollution; At the same time, it also increases the management pressure of expressways and urban roads.

1.2. Information asymmetry is the crux of the problem, and the demand for vehicle and cargo matching is huge.

Due to the small scale and large number of road freight operators, according to statistics, there are more than 7.5 million road logistics enterprises in China, and each household only has 1.5 trucks on average; However, its operation is basically in a state of "straggle", and the level of industry organization is very low. More than 90% of the transportation capacity is in the hands of individual drivers, and the industry concentration is only about 1.2%. We believe that the crux of the current situation of resource mismatch and inefficiency lies in the asymmetry of freight logistics information.

In the current freight logistics service chain, the individual car owners are at the end. Due to the low participation threshold of employees, oversupply and low organizational level, the game of these individual vehicles in freight transactions is very passive. Unless there are some structural reasons such as special time periods, special routes or special vehicle needs, the source and pricing power of most individual vehicles are often in the hands of shippers. In view of this, the vehicle-cargo matching market came into being. Under the current transportation market pattern of "more vehicles and less goods", its value lies in optimizing the resource allocation of goods and drivers in the downstream of the supply chain by virtue of the platform’s information integration ability, providing transportation capacity to shippers, providing goods to car owners and ensuring a certain freight rate, reducing the empty rate of vehicles, improving the efficiency of drivers in finding goods, and further reducing transportation costs. The high idle driving cost of truck drivers also makes the driver have a strong demand for the vehicle-cargo matching platform.

2. China’s car and goods matching market: two major operating modes coexist.

In fact, the vehicle-cargo matching platform is de-intermediated through the online platform. Internet technology and information technology are used to improve the information retrieval ability and matching efficiency, reduce drivers’ waiting time and empty driving distance, de-intermediate and improve the full load rate. Vehicle-cargo matching platform mainly uses the advantages of "internet plus", integrates off-line vehicle sources and goods sources through the development of logistics APP, WEB or other systems, and publishes information online through APP, web or other systems and accurately matches it, thus solving the asymmetry of logistics information.

2.1, two camps gave birth to two business models.

At present, there are two main models for the online and offline differentiation of the car and goods matching market:

Offline+Online mode: Offline is laid out nationwide, service nodes are established, local transportation resources are integrated, and a controllable transportation resource network is established to form a "transportation pool", on the basis of which vehicle and cargo matching services are provided online. The core of this mode is to integrate the vehicle and cargo resources, ensure the truthfulness, effectiveness and uniform service rules of the vehicle source information on the vehicle and cargo matching platform, and carry out vehicle and cargo matching on this basis.

Representatives: Chuanhua Logistics, Ka Xing Tian Xia, Anneng Logistics, Robinson Logistics of the United States.

Pure platform mode: The earliest pure platform mode was a short and simple freight information publishing website (such as Jincheng Logistics Network and National Logistics Information Network), and then it developed into an information transmission, matching and trading platform with software as the core, connecting the online and offline, connecting the consignor and the transportation capacity, and becoming a car-free carrier.

Representatives: oTMS, Driver’s Station, Yunmanman, Luoji Logistics.

2.2. Comparison of typical case studies

Chuanhua Logistics: Online Platform+Offline Highway Port Mode

Chuanhua Logistics is actually a form of the fourth party logistics (4PL), which belongs to the online platform+offline highway port mode from the online and offline classification. Chuanhua Logistics entered the logistics industry in an all-round way from the modern logistics base in 2002, innovatively developed the "highway port" logistics platform, and established the closed-loop logistics ecology of O2O. In fact, the mode of uploading logistics is the fourth-party logistics mode, which realizes the integration of capital flow, information flow and logistics through the combination of online and offline. Offline, Chuanhua Logistics has established a national "highway port" logistics model, forming a national highway port network with 100 outlets in four major hubs. At present, it has occupied the card position advantage in key transportation hubs, and has rapidly expanded through the self-built and extended model. Online, Chuanhua has developed an Internet logistics platform with "Easy Distribution", "Barter Di" and "Yunbao Net" as its core. Through Chuanhua logistics portal+mobile phone distribution APP+ O2O truck calling platform in the same city, the freight problem between highway trunk lines and the city in the last mile has been solved. At present, Chuanhua Logistics has a revenue of over 10 billion yuan and is an invisible giant of China highway logistics.

Data source: Internet information, Industrial Securities Research Institute.

At present, Chuanhua Logistics has formed two major business segments: highway port investment operation and supporting services and O2O logistics network platform services. In the future, when the platform of Chuanhua Logistics grows to a certain scale (the main indicators are the number of active members and the total transaction amount), more profit models will be generated. Generally speaking, the main profit sources of Chuanhua Logistics in the future can be divided into: infrastructure rental income of highway ports, commission income of various logistics transactions, membership service income and financial services based on traffic and big data. Among them, the aforementioned fourth income will constitute the main profit model under the future logistics big data economy, such as personalized insurance group purchase income based on driver membership and behavior data, and logistics scale intensive income based on the whole network supply transaction.

Card line in the world: online portal+offline joining mode

The operation mode of Card Bank is divided into two parts: offline transportation network and online portal network construction. Offline, by first establishing a regional center for goods collection and distribution, and at the same time, through the network radiation ability of this center, we will establish franchise outlets outside the park by joining to attract high-quality special line members, and finally build a nationwide logistics and transportation network. On the online side, through the construction of the portal website, we can provide a unified information system for the franchised enterprises, realize the tracking statistics, assessment and evaluation of the franchised enterprises, make the whole process of transportation services visible online, make the service settlement completed by platform members more convenient, improve the customer experience of delivery, and make the whole logistics chain run in a standardized way.

In terms of profit model, the Bank of China makes profits by charging initial fees, management fees and providing value-added services. The card bank charges a certain joining fee to the joining members. After the members join the card bank, the card bank charges management fees and system usage fees for 1% of the new business volume of the members. The profit of value-added services in the supply chain is mainly the insurance of centralized procurement and the financial services provided, including the cost of intensive distribution operation of the park platform.

Schematic diagram of online portal+offline joining mode

Data source: Internet information, Industrial Securities Research Institute.

Anneng Logistics: Online Portal+Main Line Self-operated+Joining Mode

The mode adopted by Anneng Logistics is the mode of self-operated trunk line and regional joining: the national distribution and trunk feeder buses are directly invested by the headquarters to ensure the operational stability and sustainability of the whole system to the greatest extent. By establishing the franchise mode of terminal outlets through online portal, franchisees can apply for joining on the website, thus avoiding the investment in building national outlets, concentrating on customer service in their own regions, and minimizing the risk of individual LTL express joining entrepreneurs. At the same time, customers can directly order delivery, waybill inquiry, order inquiry, order management and other services through the portal.

Schematic diagram of online portal+offline self-operation+joining mode

Data source: Internet information, Industrial Securities Research Institute.

At present, Anneng Logistics has established more than 130 distribution centers nationwide, with 8,000 staff and 5,000 outlets, serving 31 provinces and cities nationwide, planning more than 2,000 transportation routes and controlling more than 4,000 box trucks. It is estimated that by the end of 2015, Anneng Logistics will have more than 10,000 nationwide network points and 157 distribution centers, achieving the annual target turnover of 2.4 billion yuan and becoming the largest LTL logistics enterprise in China.

In terms of profit model, Anneng Logistics makes profits by collecting venue rent, joining fees and providing value-added services. On the one hand, by constantly eliminating unqualified networks and attracting new franchise outlets, and maintaining the gradual improvement of the quality and quantity of outlets, Anneng can provide brand support and certain source information for franchisees, and make a profit by charging franchisees a certain franchise fee. On the other hand, as the core product of Anneng Logistics, "Timing Arrival" provides customers with "safe, punctual, service and economical" road transportation services, with the service quality comparable to that of aviation and express delivery, and the price is only one third; At the same time, Anneng provides customers with services such as to pay the freight, receipt recovery, quotation claim settlement, etc., and makes profits by charging a certain value-added service fee.

OTMS: Community Platform Model

OTMS is a community-based transportation management system, which seamlessly connects the owner, the third-party logistics company, the transportation company, the driver and the final consignee from the top of the transportation chain, pays attention to the whole chain of transportation management, and forms a balanced and win-win online ecosystem based on the core process, which is equivalent to an online mirror image of its offline actual operation network. This online ecosystem will be an open community based on the credit system (real data). All community members can better manage their existing businesses and have the opportunity to find better resources or more new businesses. OTMS will not be involved in the actual operation, such as being a fourth party logistics company (4PL), and oTMS is just a community platform based on core software.

At present, there are 130 consignors in oTMS, and the consignors connect drivers through "Where are you" and "Kaka". Logistics companies use oTMS products to manage transportation orders, and the monthly orders are about one million.

Schematic diagram of community platform mode

Data source: Internet information, Industrial Securities Research Institute.

At present, oTMS has a Saas service platform with the main version of goods, a Saas service platform with the carrier version, an APP "Kaka" used by truck drivers, and an APP "Where is it" for the consignee to monitor logistics information. The transparent information management platform of the whole process formed by the combination of PC-side service platform and mobile APP brings all relevant parties, including consignors, logistics companies, transport carriers, drivers and consignees, into a business network, realizing the unification of tools.

In terms of profit model, oTMS currently focuses on selling Saas service systems and system maintenance services, and will get involved in the logistics finance industry in the future. In the B2B logistics and transportation industry, China still has a lot of room for growth, and B2B logistics and transportation also involves the cash flow of delivery enterprises, receiving enterprises and logistics companies. The accounting period of transportation companies is about 60 days to 120 days. How to participate in it and integrate this cash flow with financial institutions is the focus of oTMS’s future development.

Yun Man Man: Mobile phone logistics information matching platform model

Yun Man Man is a mobile phone online logistics information matching platform based on mobile Internet technology, which is dedicated to providing efficient vehicle management and distribution tools for road transport logistics industry, and providing comprehensive information and transaction services for vehicle finding (distribution) and vehicle finding (consignment). Its service targets cover all types of goods and vehicles, meet the needs of logistics companies, information departments and small and medium-sized enterprises for long-distance road vehicle transportation, and at the same time improve the distribution efficiency of car owners and reduce the empty return rate; Improve the efficiency of cargo owners in finding cars and improve the operational efficiency of the overall logistics industry.

At present, Yunmanman has branches and offices in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Anhui, Henan, Shandong, Fujian and other provinces, and plans to open more information on vehicle sources and goods sources and lay out the national road transport information network, so as to promote the road transport industry in China to enter an era of mobile Internet with high efficiency and low altitude.

Schematic diagram of mobile phone logistics information matching platform mode

Data source: Internet information, Industrial Securities Research Institute.

Through the "Yun Man Man" mobile APP, the owner can publish the information of goods supply and price comparison, and at the same time, he can also find the source of the car himself. With the permission of the driver, the driver can be located and managed to quickly understand the supply dynamics. The owner can search for the source of goods independently, compare the sources of goods, and contact the owner directly by telephone after finding satisfactory information. Car owners can also take the initiative to release empty car information and wait for the owner to come to the door. And logistics companies can also publish the information of goods supply and their own logistics lines, find the goods supply while knowing the freight price of vehicles in time, and further expand the online goods collection business.

At present, Yunman is not profitable. After building the whole ecosystem and attracting enough user traffic, Yunman can collect enough information, establish a credit system through big data, further improve payment and financial value-added services, and make profits through capital precipitation and value-added services.

Luoji Logistics: Online Logistics Information Matching Platform Model

The Luoji logistics platform is similar to the mode of "Yun Man Man", and it is also an online logistics information matching platform. It uses data mining technology, search matching technology and mobile Internet of Things technology to provide drivers and shippers with free information on the source of goods and vehicles, and carries out multi-dimensional matching between goods and car owners, in addition to distance matching based on geographical location, there are also multi-dimensional matching such as route, time and load capacity. Luoji logistics platform realizes de-intermediation through the mobile Internet, which reduces logistics costs, the empty rate of trucks and improves the overall logistics efficiency. With the more registered users of platform owners and cargo owners, the success rate of vehicle-cargo matching will be higher and higher. By the end of 2015, the number of users on the Luoji platform will reach 4 million, including 3 million drivers and 1 million shippers.

Luoji logistics platform can solve the two problems of truck drivers and suppliers: first, quickly and effectively integrate the supply and capacity, and reduce the owner’s empty driving rate; The second is to make the freight market more orderly and smarter. At present, Luoji Logistics APP is divided into four versions: Luoji Looking for Goods (Driver Edition), Luoji Looking for Cars (Shipper Edition) and Luoji City (Delivery/Driver End).

Schematic diagram of Logitech logistics information matching platform model

Data source: Internet information, Industrial Securities Research Institute.

Logitech has launched two different softwares for shippers and car owners, "Logitech Find Cars" and "Logitech Find Goods". The truck driver opens the "Luo Ji Looking for Goods" and clicks the "List of Goods" to see the geographical location, goods type, weight, delivery time and vehicle demand of the goods, and the owner will dock the consignor as required. The barter between Luoji City and Chuanhua Logistics is similar, which mainly solves the transportation demand of the last kilometer and the first kilometer in the same city.

Similar to Yun Man Man, Logitech is not profitable at present, and its main task is to promote users. After the platform is formed, it collects huge data to realize its traffic value. For example, there can be derivative insurance services, refueling services, auto repair services, etc. on the platform, which are all potential value-added spaces. On the other hand, Luoji will consider further extending its business to the financial leasing of vehicles and supply chain finance of logistics companies.

3. International experience: Enlightenment from the development of American freight logistics industry.

3.1. Overview of American road freight industry: Truck transportation is the main mode of transportation.

Truck transportation in the United States is extremely developed and is the main mode of transportation in the United States. In 2011, transportation market scale in the United States was about 770 billion US dollars, of which truck transportation market scale exceeded 600 billion US dollars, accounting for about 80%. The volume of transportation and the value of goods delivered account for 70% of the total. The turnover of goods is second only to railway transportation, with an average annual growth rate of 2.5%, which is much higher than the overall growth rate of 0.8%, making it the fastest-growing sector.

The trucking market accounts for about 80% of transportation market scale.

Source: DOT, Industrial Securities Research Institute.

At present, there are nearly 100,000 transportation enterprises in the United States with more than 1.3 million employees, of which more than 90% have fewer than 20 employees, and there are only more than 600 transportation enterprises with a scale of more than 500 employees, accounting for less than 1%. The fleet size is generally small, and more than 50% of the transportation enterprises are Owner-Operator, that is, there is only one truck, and only 6.3% of the enterprises have more than 100 trucks. This is similar to the main business situation of China freight market at present.

American trucking carriers are divided into non-public carriers and public carriers. Non-public carrier (In-Housefleet) means that production and retail enterprises own transport vehicles and operate them to meet their own transport needs, and generally do not provide transport services to the outside world. PublicCarriers are engaged in commercial transportation, and for the purpose of making profits, they are entrusted by the owner to provide transportation services and get paid.

According to the mode of transportation, public carriers can be divided into vehicle transport enterprises, LTL transport enterprises and road freight forwarders. The first two are truck companies based on heavy asset fleets, represented by YRCW and FedexFreight; The other is the road freight forwarder represented by Robinson Global Logistics. Many individual carriers provide transportation services for customers through the sales end of road freight forwarders or by joining large truck companies.

It can be seen that the developed infrastructure and high degree of intensification are the two major reasons for the high efficiency of highway logistics in the United States.

3.2, no car is better than a car, the inspiration of Robinson case: the ability to integrate information and resources is the core.

Robinson Logistics, founded in 1905, is the largest fourth party logistics company in the United States. The company is the representative of American car-free carriers. It doesn’t own trucks, but serves large shippers through the integration of many small and medium-sized fleets. Relying on value-oriented value-added services, exquisite business operations and advanced information systems, it has integrated 63,000 carriers and 46,000 shippers. In 2014, its operating income reached 13.471 billion US dollars, of which 80% came from road freight. At present, Robinson Logistics has become the first truck transportation company in the United States, basically monopolizing most of the road transportation resources in the United States, ranking seventh in global freight transportation; There are more than 218 branches in the world, of which the United States accounts for 158.

Robinson car-free transport mode

Robinson takes a completely light asset route. Instead of investing money in buying trucks and building logistics real estate, Robinson invests capital in the field of information technology, establishes TMS and Navisphere information platforms, and controls the transportation capacity through the information platform and remotely signs a cooperative enterprise logistics warehouse. By setting up technology-led outlets and branches offline, the online information platform will be connected with the needs and information of customers in offline areas. As a light asset enterprise, its human expenditure has also been greatly reduced. In 2014, Robinson only had 11,000 employees. Debon Logistics in China has more than 30,000 employees.

Robinson’s light asset operation mode and mature management mode make it have strong growth. Since the company went public in 1997, the average annual growth rate of main business income is 12.6%, while the average annual growth rate of net profit reaches 17.8%. In most years, the company’s net profit growth rate is higher than the income growth rate, and the company’s performance has the potential for sustained growth. Therefore, the development of the company does not need to be based on asset expansion, but by integrating local transportation resources, exporting technology and management, and opening up new customer markets, it will bring profits and long-term growth to the company.

The compound growth rate of the company’s net profit is higher than the income growth rate.

Source: Bloomberg, Industrial Securities Research Institute.

As the world’s largest fourth-party logistics company, Robinson’s revenue mainly comes from providing transportation and logistics services to suppliers, consulting services and payment services to customers. Robinson builds his value-added service system, such as supply chain analysis, transportation optimization, carrier management, big data services and business intelligence, and meets the needs of shippers and carriers through these high value-added solutions. Robinson does not charge the franchisees on the platform the joining fee, but charges the corresponding service fee through the solutions for different customers.

4. Future Outlook: The Ultimate Version of Car-Goods Matching?

4.1 What are the pain points of car-cargo matching?

The large-scale success of taxi-hailing software has made various funds intensively lay out the platform for car-cargo matching in the logistics industry, hoping to create a "drip taxi version of freight". According to incomplete statistics, more than 200 car-cargo matching APP taxi-hailing applications have been produced in one year, but there are few successful cases. Most car-cargo matching software has been criticized for relying on subsidies, untrue freight information and complicated transaction processes. Judging from the current situation, the reasons for the slow development of vehicle-cargo matching software are as follows:

1. Supply and demand information is difficult to standardize.

The information of the supply and demand sides in the taxi industry is very standard: cars are all cars with similar shapes, and the demand is the displacement of people, so it is very easy for the supply and demand sides to meet each other through the Internet.

However, when it comes to freight, the situation is much more complicated. Cars are different in length, load and power, and goods are also different in size and physical and chemical properties, which makes online matching much more complicated. Even if the information can be roughly matched, some personalized needs must be met and discussed (an interesting case: a consignor has a batch of fresh fruits to be transported, and a truck with the required load and size is found through the car-goods matching app, so that the driver can drive the car to the designated place. As a result, the consignor immediately cancels the intention because the truck has just been transported. Therefore, we see that many apps now only stay in the step of publishing information, and it is difficult to reach a trading intention without meeting.

2. Lack of integrity certification system

Road freight is a mixed market, and the general quality of employees is not high. It is difficult for many vehicle-cargo matching platforms to grasp the capital flow of freight transactions, because the proportion of logistics freight to the value of goods is still relatively low, and people are more accustomed to the traditional mode of paying with one hand and delivering with one hand.

3. Vehicles tend to have a stable supply of goods, and shippers prefer a stable transportation capacity, which makes it difficult for existing software to get involved in the mainstream market.

The capacity of individual trucks of about 14 million in China has seriously exceeded the demand for relatively scarce goods. At present, the trend of highway logistics is that vehicles tend to cooperate for a long time to ensure their high operating costs, so more and more individual vehicles are linked to the fleet; Shippers also tend to find long-term transportation capacity to ensure the stability of their logistics operation. And this long-term cooperative relationship has been established slowly, so the car-goods matching software has actually intervened in a relatively marginal market. Because of this, we will see more false information on the software, because the scarce real demand has already been spontaneously matched offline.

4.2 What mode does road freight need?

At the beginning of the report, we mentioned that the reason for the low efficiency of road freight transportation is information asymmetry. Therefore, the ideal state is that the waste of resources is zero: as soon as the goods leave the factory, there is a truck waiting at the door; And the truck will never be empty or stop for nothing, it will always go from A to B to C to D …, and it will be fully loaded in the process. In this ideal state, there will be no intermediary matchmaker and resources will match spontaneously. This is the ultimate mode of road freight.

However, under the condition that the current technology has not reached the above level, offline matching platforms such as distribution stations, highways and logistics parks will exist for a long time. The reason is that it is difficult to standardize the freight supply and demand information we mentioned earlier, and the matching platform must have physical entities that enable both parties to meet. This makes these offline matching platforms naturally have the ability to gather people and traffic, and only when they carry out technological innovation and model innovation with real matching scenes can they promote the transformation and development of the road freight industry. Just like our comment on the highway port: "The construction of the highway port is to eliminate the highway port in the future".

4.3 Investment strategy

According to our judgment, the highway logistics industry will have offline matching platforms such as distribution stations, highways and logistics parks for a long time, and they have the strongest ability to gather traffic and people in scattered industries. That is to say, they have a strong premium ability to shippers and car owners. As long as these offline entities try to continue to cut into the deeper value-added and financial needs of shippers and car owners, the profit model will continue to innovate.

In view of the fact that there are regional offline matching entities all over the country, we suggest paying attention to Chuanhua, which can take the lead in arranging and integrating the resources of logistics parks nationwide to form a highway and port network.

For details of Chuanhua shares, please refer to our in-depth report "Chuanhua Logistics-China Highway Integrators Reloaded into Battle" on July 3 this year.

All provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, Education Department (Education Committee), Intellectual Property Office (Intellectual Property Management Department), Science and Technology Department (Committee, Bureau), Education Bureau of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, Intellectual Property Office, Science and Technology Bureau, Education Department (Bureau) of relevant departments (units), Intellectual Property Management Agency, Science and Technology Department, and colleges and universities jointly established by the ministries and provinces:

　　Since the promulgation and implementation of the Outline of National Intellectual Property Strategy, the level of creation, application and management of intellectual property rights in colleges and universities has been continuously improved, and the number of patent applications and authorizations has been greatly improved. However, compared with foreign high-level universities, there are still some problems in Chinese university patents, such as "emphasizing quantity over quality" and "emphasizing application over implementation". In order to comprehensively improve the quality of university patents, strengthen the creation, application and management of high-value patents, and give full play to the important role of universities in serving economic and social development, the following opinions are put forward.

　　I. General requirements

　　(A) the guiding ideology

　　Guided by the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the New Era, we will fully implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Second, Third and Fourth Plenary Sessions of the 19th National Congress, implement the deployment of the National Education Conference, adhere to the new development concept, closely follow the main line of high-quality development, thoroughly implement the innovation-driven development strategy and the strategy of strengthening the country with intellectual property rights, comprehensively improve the quality of patent creation, utilization efficiency, management level and service ability of colleges and universities, promote new progress in scientific and technological innovation and discipline construction, and support the construction of a strong country with education, science and technology and intellectual property rights.

　　(2) Basic principles

　　Adhere to quality first. Firmly grasp the requirements of high-quality development of intellectual property rights, adhere to quality priority, identify the breakthrough, enhance pertinence, and always run high-quality through the whole process of intellectual property creation, management and application in colleges and universities.

　　Highlight the transformation orientation. We should establish the idea that innovation value can only be realized by transforming scientific and technological achievements such as patents in colleges and universities, and that non-transformation is the biggest loss, and highlight the orientation of transformation and application, which will force the optimization and promotion of intellectual property management in colleges and universities.

　　Strengthen policy guidance. Give play to the important role of policies such as financial aid, evaluation and evaluation in promoting reform and guiding work, and establish and constantly improve various policies and measures that are conducive to improving patent quality and strengthening transformation and application.

　　(III) Main objectives

　　By 2022, the whole process management system of intellectual property rights in colleges and universities covering patent navigation and layout, patent application and maintenance, patent transformation and application will be more perfect, and it will be organically integrated with the scientific and technological innovation system of colleges and universities and the transfer and transformation system of scientific and technological achievements. By 2025, the patent quality of colleges and universities will be significantly improved, and the patent operation ability will be significantly enhanced. The patent authorization rate and implementation rate of some colleges and universities will reach the level of world-class universities.

　　Second, the key tasks

　　(A) improve the intellectual property management system

　　1. Improve the overall coordination mechanism of intellectual property rights. Colleges and universities should set up a leading group for the management and operation of intellectual property rights or a leading group for the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements, coordinate scientific research, intellectual property rights, state-owned assets, personnel, transfer and transformation of achievements, libraries and other relevant institutions, actively implement the "Regulations on the Management of Intellectual Property Rights in Colleges and Universities" (GB/T 33251-2016), and form an overall coordination mechanism integrating scientific and technological innovation with intellectual property rights management and transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements. Colleges and universities that have set up leading groups for the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements should bring intellectual property management into the scope of responsibilities of the leading groups.

　　2. Establish and improve the intellectual property management process of major projects. Colleges and universities should embody intellectual property management in all aspects of project selection, project establishment, implementation, conclusion, achievement transfer and transformation. Explore and establish a sound patent navigation mechanism around major national scientific research projects such as major scientific and technological innovation 2030 projects and key R&D plans. Before the project is established, patent information and literature information are analyzed, intellectual property risk assessment is carried out, the research technology route is determined, and the starting point of research and development is improved; During the implementation of the project, track the work trends in the research field of the project, adjust the research direction and technical route in a timely manner, evaluate the research results in a timely manner and form intellectual property rights; Before the acceptance of the project, we should take the transformation and application as the guide, do a good job in patent layout and technical secret protection, and form a list of intellectual property rights of the project results; After the completion of the project, strengthen the implementation of patent application and promote the transfer and transformation of achievements. Encourage colleges and universities to strengthen the layout of intellectual property rights in strategic emerging industries and related industries in major national economic fields around advantageous and characteristic disciplines, and strengthen the application for international patents.

　　3. Gradually establish the disclosure system of post scientific and technological achievements. Colleges and universities should strengthen the management and service of scientific and technological innovations from the source, and gradually establish and improve the disclosure system of post scientific and technological achievements. Scientific researchers should actively and timely disclose their post-related scientific and technological achievements to their universities. Colleges and universities should improve the legal risk awareness of scientific researchers engaged in innovation and entrepreneurship, guide scientific researchers to carry out scientific and technological achievements transfer and transformation activities according to law, and effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of colleges and universities. Without the permission of the unit, no one may use the scientific and technological achievements of his position to engage in the establishment of enterprises and other acts. The disclosure of scientific and technological achievements in classified positions should strictly abide by the relevant provisions on confidentiality.

　　(two) to carry out pre-application evaluation of patent.

　　4. Establish a pre-application patent evaluation system. Conditional colleges and universities should speed up the establishment of pre-patent application evaluation system, clarify the evaluation institutions and processes, cost sharing and incentives, and evaluate the technology to be patented, so as to decide whether to apply for a patent and effectively improve the quality of patent application. The evaluation work can be carried out by the intellectual property management department (technology transfer department) of our school or by the entrusted market-oriented institutions. For the post-service scientific and technological achievements that the evaluation institution considers unsuitable to apply for a patent after evaluation, and the losses caused to the university due to the abandonment of patent application, if the relevant responsible person has fulfilled the obligation of diligence and did not seek illegal interests, he may be exempted from the decision-making responsibility of giving up patent application according to the law and regulations. For the job-related scientific and technological achievements formed by projects entrusted by enterprises and other social organizations, the parties involved in the contract are allowed to decide independently whether to apply for patents.

　　5. Clear ownership of property rights and cost sharing. Colleges and universities are allowed to explore the ownership reform of service inventions, and give full play to the role of property rights incentives and cost sharing in accordance with the principle of equal rights and obligations to promote the quality of patents. Inventors may not use financial funds to pay patent fees.

　　After the patent application evaluation, inventors are encouraged to bear the patent fees for the post-service scientific and technological achievements that universities decide to apply for patents. If the university divides the ownership with the inventor, the inventor shall bear the patent fee in proportion to the property right. If the ownership is not divided, it is necessary to clarify the patent cost sharing and income distribution; If colleges and universities bear all the patent fees, the income from patent transformation will be distributed according to the established proportion after deducting the patent fees and other costs; If the inventor bears part or all of the patent fees, the patent fees and other costs shall be deducted from the income obtained from patent transformation, and the patent fees borne by the inventor shall be deducted twice and returned to the inventor, and then distributed according to the established proportion.

　　After the patent application evaluation, the university should conclude a written contract with the inventor to transfer the patent application right or patent right in accordance with legal procedures, and allow the inventor to apply for a patent on his own. After authorization, the patent right belongs to the inventor, and the patent expenses are borne by the inventor. After deducting the patent application and operation and maintenance expenses, the inventor will pay the income to the university according to the agreed proportion.

　　(3) Strengthen the construction of specialized institutions and talent teams

　　6. Strengthen technology transfer and the construction of intellectual property operating institutions. Support qualified universities to establish specialized institutions integrating technology transfer and intellectual property management and operation, and guarantee personnel, venues and funds. Through the platform and pilot demonstration construction such as "National Intellectual Property Pilot Demonstration University", "University Scientific and Technological Achievements Transformation and Technology Transfer Base" and "University National Intellectual Property Information Service Center", we will promote the construction of technology transfer and intellectual property management and operation system, and continuously improve the transformation ability of scientific and technological achievements in universities. Encourage colleges and universities to explore the market-oriented operation mechanism and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of professional institutions and talents.

　　Support the construction of market-oriented intellectual property operating institutions and provide professional services such as intellectual property, legal consultation, achievement evaluation and project financing for universities. Encourage colleges and universities to cooperate with third-party intellectual property operation service platforms or institutions, and give intermediary service fees to third-party professional institutions from the proceeds from the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements. Encourage the combination of universities and localities, and set up industrial intellectual property operation centers around the industrial planning and layout of various localities and the academic advantages of universities.

　　7. Accelerate the construction of professional talents. Support colleges and universities to set up courses related to technology transfer and intellectual property operation, strengthen the construction of intellectual property related majors and disciplines, create a professional talent team of intellectual property management and technology transfer by combining introduction and education, and promote the construction of professional talent team. Encourage colleges and universities to set up expert committees on the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and introduce technical managers to participate in the whole process of the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements in colleges and universities, such as invention disclosure, value evaluation, patent application and maintenance, technology promotion and docking negotiation, so as to promote the application of patent transformation.

　　8. Establish an intellectual property management and operation fund. Support colleges and universities to raise funds to set up intellectual property management and operation funds through school grants, local awards, and the proceeds from the transfer of scientific and technological achievements, so as to entrust third-party professional institutions to carry out intellectual property management and operation such as patent navigation, patent layout and patent operation, as well as the construction of technology transfer professional institutions and talent teams, so as to form a good cycle of transformation benefits and promotion of transformation.

　　(D) Optimize the policy system

　　9. Improve the talent evaluation and employment system. Colleges and universities should be guided by quality and transformation performance, pay more attention to indicators such as patent quality and transformation application, and resolutely put an end to simply taking the amount of patent application and authorization as the assessment content and increase the weight of patent transformation application performance in policies such as title promotion, performance appraisal, post appointment, project completion, talent evaluation and scholarship evaluation. Support colleges and universities to independently set up a series of technical and management posts for technology transfer and transformation according to the relevant regulations on post setting management, and encourage researchers and managers to engage in the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements.

　　10. Optimize the incentive policy for patent funding. Colleges and universities should take optimizing patent quality and promoting the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements as the guide, stop funding and rewarding patent applications, greatly reduce and gradually cancel the rewards for patent authorization, and reward inventors or teams by increasing the proportion of transformation income and other "post-subsidy" methods.

　　Third, organize the implementation

　　(1) Improve the working mechanism. The Ministry of Education, China National Intellectual Property Administration and the Ministry of Science and Technology shall establish a regular communication mechanism to study the patent application, authorization and transformation in colleges and universities in a timely manner. Colleges and universities should deeply understand the importance of further improving patent quality, adhere to quality first, actively promote the patent quality improvement work to be included in the important agenda, further improve the level of intellectual property work, and promote the creation and application of intellectual property rights. Other types of intellectual property management can be implemented with reference to this opinion.

　　(2) Strengthen policy guidance. The transfer and transformation performance of scientific and technological achievements, such as patent transformation, is regarded as an important indicator of dynamic monitoring, effectiveness evaluation and discipline evaluation of the construction of first-class universities and first-class disciplines. It is not only to assess the number of patents, but also to highlight the transformation and application. Select a number of universities to carry out professional intellectual property operation or technology transfer personnel training, and constantly improve the intellectual property operation and technology transfer capabilities of universities. China National Intellectual Property Administration strengthens the examination of patent applications and strictly controls the quality of patents. Oppose the publication and resolutely resist the ranking of patent applications and authorizations in colleges and universities.

　　(three) the implementation of record monitoring. Before the end of March each year, colleges and universities will record the patents that have been transformed and implemented in the form of license, transfer, price share or joint ownership with enterprises through the China National Intellectual Property Administration system. According to the filing situation, the Ministry of Education and China National Intellectual Property Administration publish the implementation of patent transformation in colleges and universities every year, and monitor the patent transactions. According to "Several Provisions on Standardizing Patent Application Behavior" (China National Intellectual Property Administration Decree No.75, 2017), abnormal patent applications in colleges and universities are monitored every quarter. For colleges and universities with more than 5 abnormal patent applications per quarter or with abnormal patent applications accounting for more than 5% of the total patent applications this year, China National Intellectual Property Administration will cancel its qualification to declare the China Patent Award next year.

　　(4) Innovative licensing model. Encourage colleges and universities to carry out patent implementation transformation by means of ordinary license, and improve the transformation efficiency. Support the innovation licensing model of colleges and universities, and patents that have been granted the patent right for three years and have not been implemented without justifiable reasons can determine the relevant licensing conditions, publish them through the relevant platform of national intellectual property operation, and open the license to the society within a certain period of time.

February 3, 2020

CCTV News:The State Council Press Office held a press conference at 10 am on June 10th. Zhao Yingmin, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, and the responsible persons of the Bureau of Statistics and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs introduced the bulletin of the Second National Pollution Source Survey and answered questions from reporters.

In response to a reporter’s question, Zhao Yingmin, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, pointed out that the results of the second national pollution source survey are mainly reflected in five aspects:

First, the basic situation, quantity, structure and distribution of all kinds of pollution sources in China have been found out.By the end of 2017, the number of various pollution sources in China was 3,583,200 (excluding mobile sources), including 2,477,400 industrial sources, 639,500 domestic sources, 378,800 livestock and poultry farms and 84,000 centralized pollution control facilities. Among them, the number of various pollution sources in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong and Hebei provinces accounts for 52.94% of the national total, and the number of pollution sources in China, especially the number of industrial pollution sources, basically shows a gradual decrease from east to west. In terms of industries, five industries, namely, metal products, non-metallic mineral products, general equipment manufacturing, rubber and plastic products, and textiles and garments, account for 44.14% of the total industrial pollution sources in China. In addition, by the end of 2017, there were 267 million motor vehicles, 4.132 million construction machinery, 762 million kilowatts of diesel power for agricultural machinery and 278,000 ships in operation. In 2017, the fuel consumption of national railway diesel locomotives was 2,461,800 tons, and civil aviation took off and landed 10,248,900 times. The above is the basic distribution of all kinds of pollution sources.

Second, we have mastered the emissions of various pollution sources.From the national water pollutant discharge situation, the chemical oxygen demand is 21.4398 million tons, the total nitrogen is 3.0414 million tons, and the ammonia nitrogen is 963.4 million tons. In terms of emissions, the Yangtze River, Pearl River and Huaihe River basins have large drainage areas and involve many provinces, and the emissions of pollutants such as chemical oxygen demand, total nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen are relatively large. From the perspective of emission intensity, the pollutant emission intensity of unit water resources in Haihe River, Liaohe River and Huaihe River basins is large. The national air pollutant emissions are: 17,852,200 tons of nitrogen oxides, 16,840,500 tons of particulate matter and 6,963,200 tons of sulfur dioxide. This time, we also investigated the emissions of volatile organic compounds in some industries and some fields, with a national total of 10.1745 million tons. Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and its surrounding areas, the Yangtze River Delta and the Fenwei Plain are areas where the emission intensity of air pollution sources per unit area is relatively high in China. As we all know, these three areas are also key areas for air pollution prevention and control determined by the state. The situation of solid waste in China is as follows: in 2017, the output of general industrial solid waste was 3.868 billion tons, the comprehensive utilization was 2.062 billion tons, the disposal was 943 million tons, and the storage in that year was 931 million tons. The output of straw in China is 805 million tons, and the utilization is 585 million tons. The output of general solid waste in Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Hebei, Shandong and Liaoning provinces accounts for 42.4% of the country, and the comprehensive utilization of general industrial solid waste in Shandong, Hebei, Shanxi, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces accounts for about 40% of the country.

Third, the archives of key pollution sources and the pollution source information database have been improved.This census has formed a unified database for the second national pollution source census, with more than 1,800 database tables, 15,000 data fields and 150 million data records, forming a "one map" for the second national pollution source census. According to the requirements of the management method of pollution source census files, all files have been managed in an orderly manner and stored safely.

Fourthly, a group of business backbones with the spirit of environmental protection iron army have been trained.In the census work, enumerators and census instructors at all levels carry forward the spirit of environmental protection iron army, work hard and work hard. Through systematic training and on-site investigation, they understand the production technology, pollution control technology and environmental protection facilities of key industries and enterprises, and master the accounting methods of various pollutant emissions. In the process of summarizing the census results, through analysis and induction, we have grasped the environmental policy and the current environmental situation, and have been comprehensively studied and improved. Through the census, a group of comprehensive talents with high sense of responsibility and dedication, familiar with policies and proficient in business have been trained.

Fifth, the environmental awareness of the whole people has been further improved.The census took a long time, lasting three years. During the whole census period, through multi-media and multi-way publicity, the majority of friends in the press gave strong support, widely mobilized all sectors of society and actively participated in the census work, which improved the environmental awareness of the whole society and created a good atmosphere for the census. This is the main result of this census.

Recently, there have been frequent outbreaks, and the prevention and control situation is complicated and severe. However, a few people do not comply with the epidemic prevention requirements, conceal their personal itinerary, and are not worthy of joint investigation …

On March 18th, "Safe Nanjing" Weibo reported three illegal cases involving epidemic.

Concealing the itinerary and violating epidemic prevention regulations …

Many people in Jiangsu were punished.

Do not cooperate with the sealing control management.

A woman in Haizhou District of Lianyungang was punished for illegally crossing the guardrail and entering the closed community. At 11 o’clock on March 8, the police of Xindong Police Station of Haizhou Public Security Bureau found in the epidemic prevention and control work that a woman still illegally turned into the community from the gap of the south gate railing, knowing that the south gate of the community was banned and impassable during the epidemic prevention and control period. According to the relevant laws and regulations, Haizhou police warned and punished Sun’s illegal behavior of refusing to implement the government’s decisions and orders in a state of emergency.

Forcibly break into the card and insult or beat the epidemic prevention staff

A man in Guanyun County, Lianyungang was punished for driving and forcibly breaking into a card and insulting the epidemic prevention and control staff. At noon on March 6th, a man drove past the inspection point of epidemic prevention and control at the exit of Guanyundong Expressway, but he did not cooperate with the epidemic prevention and control personnel in accordance with the regulations and forced him to break into the card, and insulted the discouraged epidemic prevention and control staff. According to the relevant laws and regulations, Guanyun police imposed a five-day administrative detention on Chen Mou’s illegal act of refusing to implement the government’s decisions and orders in a state of emergency.

A woman in Punan Town, Haizhou District, Lianyungang was detained for breaking into a card and beating an epidemic prevention worker. At about 22 o’clock on the evening of March 7, Zhang Moumou, a woman from Xinxu Village, Punan Town, insisted on breaking the card during the epidemic control. After the epidemic prevention and control staff dissuaded her, she repeatedly collided with the staff by riding an electric car and pushed and beat them. According to relevant laws and regulations, Haizhou police imposed administrative detention on Zhang Moumou for seven days and fined 500 yuan.

Fabricate false epidemic information

On the afternoon of March 14, the police of Yantou Police Station of Taixing Public Security Bureau found in their work that the owners of a residential area posted false news in their owners’ WeChat group and the police immediately launched an investigation. After investigation, at 3 o’clock in the afternoon that day, Zhou sent the video he saw online to the WeChat group of the owner of his community without verification, and fictional said in the group that this video occurred during the epidemic in Taixing. A child jumped off a building due to online class problems. This false news was subsequently forwarded to other WeChat groups, which had a bad social impact. Zhou’s behavior has constituted a fictional fact and disturbed public order. At present, the public security organs impose administrative penalties on them according to the provisions of Item (1) of Article 25 of the Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) on Public Security Administration Punishment.

Two men in guannan county, Lianyungang were punished for publishing false statements about the epidemic on the Internet. On March 10th, guannan county men Liu and Zhang made false statements through a short video platform, which caused panic among local netizens. The public security organs verified that they were false information about the epidemic, and Guannan police imposed administrative penalties on Liu and Zhang for their illegal acts of fabricating facts to disturb public order.

Destroy epidemic prevention facilities

On the morning of March 12th, in the jurisdiction of Huiping Town, Qidong City, a mobile board house that needed to be placed for epidemic prevention and control was found to be artificially damaged. After receiving the police, the Huiping police station immediately launched an investigation and successfully arrested three illegal actors, including Guo, who deliberately damaged public and private property and disrupted the epidemic prevention order after drinking. At present, Qidong police have imposed administrative detention on Guo and other three people for five days and seven days respectively.

Seeing this, many netizens questioned:

The epidemic has been going on for more than two years,

Why did this happen?

Weak legal consciousness and selfishness;

Some people have two mobile phones, one at home, so that the trip will never bring stars …

Others want to hide their itinerary by turning off their phones and traveling without their mobile phones …

It is everyone’s responsibility to prevent and control the epidemic.

Travel cards and communication big data are an important tool for epidemic prevention and control. Measures such as "with an asterisk" and "time and space companions" are all aimed at cutting off the spread of the epidemic as soon as possible, not to mention the usefulness of these methods.But this kind ofActs that harm others and themselves and violate epidemic prevention and control regulations will be investigated for legal responsibility according to the law.

During the epidemic,The general public should earnestly fulfill their personal responsibility for epidemic preventionIf you find that you have time and space intersection with the track of the confirmed or asymptomatic infected person, you must report it to your community or unit as soon as possible. We should continue to enhance our awareness of prevention, do a good job in daily protection such as wearing masks, washing hands frequently, ventilating more, standardizing disinfection and keeping social distance, and actively cooperate with the implementation of various epidemic prevention and control measures.

Li Zhenquan data map

In the early morning of March 2016, in the depths of Yanshan Mountain, the spring was chilly. Under the incandescent lamp, it is a busy scene, with people coming and going, sweating on their heads. "All fiber cores of the No.3 rack have been successfully tested, and the equipment can be connected!" A lieutenant colonel officer has no distractions and gives instructions to the walkie-talkie. He is Li Zhenquan, a senior engineer of a communication group headquarters.

Li Zhenquan can’t remember how many times he moved the computer room. As long as the communication rooms of more than 10 companies in the whole regiment are relocated, he will basically be on the scene. From the initial independent connection of various equipment to the guidance of the whole group’s computer room construction, his "marriage" with the computer room lasted for 16 years.

16-year "marriage" with the computer room

When Li Zhenquan graduated in 1998, it coincided with the rapid development of national defense communications, and he was fortunate to experience the great changes in national defense communications from cable to optical cable and from carrier to optical terminal. In June, 1999, when the long-distance trunk line of military communication was changed from electricity to light, Li Zhenquan, who just graduated, was responsible for building a new optical communication room. At that time, no one in the company had contacted the optical transceiver. "In addition to the clear basic theory of communication principle, the first time I saw the actual equipment and saw so many boxes stacked there, I was also big. For the first time, I felt that there was a huge gap between theory and practice." Speaking of the scene at that time, Li Zhenquan smiled.

Day and night, facing the instructions, one equipment is installed, one line is connected, and one port is tested. Li Zhenquan forgets to sleep and eat. A week later, neat equipment, smooth cable arrangement, and the superior acceptance group gave a thumbs up. The computer room they installed has become a benchmark, and the director of communications of a group army also took people to learn from it.

In order not to affect the normal use of the next day, almost every time the computer room is moved, it is necessary to dismantle, relocate, install, cut over and open all the equipment within a few hours before dawn. "Nothing has changed for end users, except that we are working when others are resting, and we are still working when others are working." Li Zhenquan said.

For more than 10 years, dozens of computer rooms have been relocated, and thousands of devices have been connected without a mistake. "Practical and true." When Li Zhenquan was mentioned, Chief Engineer Liu Jizhou blurted out. In 2006, after graduating from graduate school, Li Zhenquan returned to the regiment as an engineer in a technical unit, and embarked on a long road of devoting himself to scientific research and quietly cultivating.

Li Zhenquan data map

Devote oneself to scientific research and work silently

The original head cabinet has been distributed for a long time, with incomplete information and no circuit diagram. Li Zhenquan used the abandoned head cabinet, dismantled the circuit board, drew by himself, learned drawing, bought chips, and began to study single chip computers. In the old equipment warehouse, he cleaned up an experimental platform and riveted it inside, with no distractions. After half a year’s research, the power head cabinet in the computer room was improved, the volume was reduced by half compared with the original one, and it was cheaper, the performance was more stable and the cost was saved by 60%. Eight years have passed, and some of these improved head cabinets are still on duty, guarding tens of thousands of communication equipment.

The duty stations are scattered, the technical force at the grass-roots level is relatively weak, the equipment alarms, the general business processing is fine, and when there is a big fault, it will be stretched. It often takes a long time for the technicians of the maintenance center to get to the scene, so the upper and lower levels are very upset. Li Zhenquan traveled all the computer rooms, collected information, and communicated with the personnel on duty in depth, and developed a "centralized monitoring and technical support system for remote equipment fault alarm". In the first time, the group communication combat duty room can provide help to the grass-roots duty personnel.

Although the grass-roots technical posts are ordinary, Li Zhenquan has made extraordinary achievements and won the third prize of military scientific and technological progress three times. In the face of rewards, he was very calm and humble: "It’s just that the organization trusted me and put me in a suitable position."

The battery pack is in a floating state for a long time, which is easy to cause aging and damage for a long time, and the battery supply is insufficient. Once the computer room is cut off, the consequences are unimaginable. To this end, he and the professional technical backbone of power supply tried various methods, and finally developed a "switching power supply battery charging protector", which improved the battery life by more than 30%. On this basis, he focused on the separation test of single battery to tackle key problems, and developed the "on-line precision test and performance early warning system of battery internal resistance", which fixed the monitoring point on single battery, avoiding "one bad group and one bad group", greatly improving the stability of battery pack and eliminating the hidden power hazard in the computer room.

Since becoming an engineer, Li Zhenquan has successively completed the survey and construction of nearly 600 kilometers of national defense communication optical cable lines, installed thousands of adjustment and measurement equipment, and laid tens of thousands of indoor cables, effectively alleviating the shortage of communication channels in all relevant directions and ensuring various military communication and liaison needs.

Li Zhenquan data map

Just to be worthy of the military uniform.

Li Zhenquan, who strives for perfection and is rigorous and realistic in his work, only ignores his wife and children. In 2009, the construction of communication optical cable around Bohai Sea required the construction and installation of dozens of computer rooms and stations along the line, and the equipment had to be adjusted and measured. The task was very heavy. He often left for more than a month, and after a year, he didn’t have much time at home. Li Zhenquan, who mentioned his daughter’s condensation and was not good at talking, had tears in his eyes. He said frankly, "I also want to be a good father and grow up with my daughter." When my wife gave birth, she was embarrassed in the uterus, which caused her daughter’s local brain injury and left sequelae. She couldn’t walk when she was two years old. Now she is a little behind other children of the same age. For so many years, the family’s affairs basically depend on her alone. My daughter’s school holds a parent-teacher conference. In other families, parents take their children with them, but his mother is the only one. The head teacher quietly pulled his wife aside: "I haven’t seen Ning Ning’s father either, and I’m not sure. It’s too tired for you to take care of your children alone, and it’s not a good thing for a single parent to rehabilitate her daughter …" Someone asked Li Zhenquan: "For so many years, you’ve been working day and night, what are you doing?" Zhen-quan Li smiled. "I think it’s worth it …".

In the spring, summer, autumn and winter, the cold is coming and the cool is coming. Li Zhenquan has been training and studying hard for several years. In the grass-roots technical posts, he silently guards the safe operation of national defense communications and equipment with practical actions, integrates his personal ideals and ambitions into the great cause of strengthening the army and rejuvenating the country, and shows the elegance of contemporary soldiers.

　　Submission email: 1714523629@qq.com

　　Wang, who works in Xiangtan Welfare Institute, Hunan Province, has defrauded 26 people for more than 1.34 million yuan under the guise of helping adopters adopt children. Recently, Wang was arrested by the Yuetang District Procuratorate of Xiangtan City on suspicion of fraud.

　　Debt builds up evil thoughts.

　　Wang, 44, is an official staff member of Xiangtan Welfare Institute in Hunan Province.

　　"I am more vain and hedonistic, and I embarked on this road after overdraft consumption, which eventually led to today’s bitter fruit." According to Wang himself, he applied for his first credit card in 2009. Because he usually spends a lot of money, the amount of this credit card was quickly maxed out, so he began to apply for multiple credit cards in his own name and in the name of his ex-wife. The highest amount was 90,000 yuan. Until 2014, Wang used the method of robbing Peter to pay Paul to raise the card.

　　Later, after Wang failed to apply for a credit card himself, he found someone to handle the credit card, even if there was a 15% handling fee. In 2015, microfinance companies began to rise. In order to make up for the deficit of credit cards, Wang began to apply for loans from microfinance companies, and successively loaned to more than 10 microfinance companies. In the second half of 2017, he began to contact usury, and eventually the debt was high.

　　When Wang sold his house, he failed to repay the huge interest and principal. In the case of inability to repay, he started with evil thoughts and began to help with the fraudulent method of adopting children. From April 2018 to June 2019, he lied that he could help others with the business of adopting children, and defrauded 26 people for a total of 1.34 million yuan.

　　Many people entered the game and were deceived.

　　"Hello, I saw on WeChat that you sent a message saying that Xiangtan Welfare Institute has children to adopt. Is it ok now … …” This is a phone call Xiao, a staff member of Qingshan Bridge Family Planning Office in Xiangtan County, often received some time ago. All this stems from a work exchange, and she met Wang.

　　In order to help people who need to adopt children, Xiaomou not only posted messages on WeChat himself, but also mobilized people around him to post information about adopting children. Under her introduction, a total of 11 people adopted children in Xiangtan welfare home through Wang.

　　"I always thought that there were normal children who could be adopted in Xiangtan Welfare Institute. Wang’s procedures for adopting children should be legal. The reason why there was a fee was that he claimed that the welfare institution needed to pay a maintenance fee to the person who sent it. In addition, it also cost money to handle the adoption procedures. I never thought that he would use this to defraud others’ money." Xiaomou told the prosecutor. After review, the same is true of Wang’s method of defrauding 15 other people’s money, which makes the victim mistakenly think that the money paid is a normal expense.

　　When things happen, they will eat the consequences.

　　"Hey, Wang, have you done the adoption procedure? If not, please give me my money back, and I won’t adopt it. " This is the speech of one of the victims, Tan, who called Wang.

　　Since May of this year, Wang has been receiving urging calls from many people. At this time, he can’t go through the adoption procedures according to normal procedures. Of course, he has no intention to go through the adoption procedures, so he has been delaying with various excuses. However, the paper can’t hold fire. After repeated urging, Tan and others reported the case to the high-tech branch of Xiangtan Public Security Bureau on June 30 this year. On July 1, the public security organ filed a case for investigation and Wang was arrested and brought to justice.

　　"Because Wang was heavily in debt at that time, in order to defraud the victim’s money, he promised the victim that it would only take three months to help with the adoption procedures. In fact, Wang could not do it at all during this time." Undertake the introduction of the prosecutor.

　　"According to the law, adopters who adopt children from welfare homes can apply as long as they have the conditions stipulated in the adoption law and provide corresponding information. The state has cancelled the adoption registration fee." The prosecutor told the reporter that Wang had a large foreign debt, and in order to defraud the victim of money, the victim mistakenly thought that he had the ability to go through the formalities of adopting children in Xiangtan Welfare Institute, but Wang’s duty was to be the head of the logistics department, and the matters he was responsible for had nothing to do with the adoption procedures, and other staff members and leaders of the unit were unaware of it. Wang did not specifically help to go through the adoption procedures, but used the obtained property to return personal debts. Subjectively, the purpose of illegal possession was clear, so he was suspected of fraud. The court recently approved the arrest of Wang for alleged fraud. At present, the case is under further investigation.

　　The prosecutor reminded that welfare homes are places where the state, society and organizations provide caring services to help people with social difficulties and orphans. Some criminals seize the adopters’ eagerness to adopt children and defraud money. The masses should establish a sense of prevention. Adopters should go through formal procedures to avoid being deceived. (Zhang Yinfeng Gong Ling Guo Yang)

　　On Wednesday (January 17), Eastern Time, the market’s expectation of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut earlier this year was hit again, and the United States suffered a "double whammy" for the second consecutive day. The three major US stock indexes collectively closed down, and the Dow fell for three consecutive days.

　　At the close, the Dow fell 94.45 points, or 0.25%, to 37,266.67 points. The Nasdaq fell 88.73 points, or 0.59%, to 14,855.62 points. The S&P 500 fell 26.77 points, or 0.56%, to 4,739.21 points.

　　Overnight, the United States released the retail sales data known as "terror data". In December, retail sales in the United States rose by 0.6% month-on-month, the largest increase in three months, exceeding expectations, indicating that consumer spending is still strong, which further doubts whether the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates drastically.

　　After the data was released, the yield of 10-year US bonds continued to rise, rising by nearly 4 basis points to 4.102%, and finally closed at 4.105%, hitting a one-month high. The yield of two-year US bonds, which is more sensitive to the Fed’s policy interest rate, returned above 4.3% to close at 4.360%. This undoubtedly depressed the market’s risk appetite.

In order to implement the provincial and municipal project of "Free Vaccination of Human Papillomavirus Vaccine for School-age Girls", Yichun Municipal Health and Health Commission, Municipal Education and Sports Bureau, Municipal Finance Bureau and Municipal Women’s Federation jointly issued a document. Since September 2023, Yichun Maternal and Child Health Hospital has provided assistance to female students (age defined as December 31, 2023) who are in junior high school, have not been vaccinated with human papillomavirus (HPV) and are not over 14 years old.

HPV science popularization

What is HPV?

HPV is the abbreviation of human papillomavirus. There are many members in the HPV family, and a small part of them are closely related to malignant tumors, so they are called high-risk HPV. 99% of cervical cancer is caused by this virus. Vaccination of HPV vaccine can block the persistent infection of high-risk HPV, thus effectively reducing the incidence of cervical cancer and precancerous lesions. It is the only vaccine to prevent cancer in the world.

Why should I get HPV vaccine?

Cervical cancer is a "major killer" that seriously threatens women’s life and health, and it is the only cancer with definite cause at present, which is caused by persistent infection of high-risk HPV virus. According to statistics, there will be about 110,000 new cases and 60,000 deaths in China in 2020. In recent years, the incidence of cervical cancer in China is younger and rising. At present, the youngest cervical cancer patient is only 15 years old. However, because the cause is clear, cervical cancer can be prevented from the source by vaccination with HPV vaccine.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends girls aged 9-14 to be vaccinated with HPV vaccine, so as to get protection as soon as possible and effectively prevent and reduce the incidence of cervical cancer and precancerous lesions. In 2023, the National Health and Wellness Commission, the Ministry of Education and other 10 ministries and commissions jointly issued the Notice on Printing and Distributing the Action Plan for Accelerating the Elimination of Cervical Cancer (2023-2030), which clearly defined the main objectives of "further improving the cervical cancer prevention and control service system, improving the comprehensive prevention and control ability" and "promoting the HPV vaccination service for school-age girls". Bivalent HPV vaccine can prevent infection caused by high-risk HPV virus and effectively block the occurrence of cervical cancer. Girls who have not had sex have the best vaccination effect, and only need 2 doses at the age of 9-14, which is the best age for HPV vaccination.

For the sake of your child’s health, I suggest you take your child to get HPV vaccine as soon as possible!

Inoculation objects and principles of livelihood projects

Girls who have a student status or household registration in Yichun, entered junior high school in September 2023, have not been vaccinated with HPV and are not over 14 years old (hereinafter referred to as "school-age girls", whose age is defined as December 31, 2023).

Inoculated objects should be under 14 years old after the first dose and under 15 years old after the second dose, in accordance with the principle of informed and voluntary.

Vaccination instructions

Can I be vaccinated during the menstrual period?

Menstrual period is not taboo, but for girls who have obvious discomfort during menstrual period, it is recommended to avoid menstrual vaccination as much as possible.

Inoculation taboo

1. Active autoimmune diseases, severe chronic diseases, severe allergies, acute phase of systemic diseases, including colds, fever, and acute phase of some chronic diseases such as liver and kidney.

2. People who are allergic to active ingredients or formula ingredients of cervical vaccine, such as latex and yeast.

3. The interval between inoculation of other vaccines is less than 14 days.

Precautions after HPV vaccination

Observe for 30 minutes after vaccination. If there is local fever, redness and pain, it can be relieved by itself. It is recommended to give priority to a light diet and try not to eat spicy and irritating food within 1 week after vaccination. For patients who have been vaccinated with cervical vaccine, they must pay more attention to rest, avoid lifting heavy objects, and keep a good sleep at the same time.

adverse effect

The adverse reactions of the vaccine are mild, and most of them are local symptoms, which can disappear on their own. If there are systemic adverse reactions, please consult a doctor in time.

(1) General adverse reactions: headache, fever, fatigue, myalgia, diarrhea, hypersensitivity, nausea, vomiting, cough, rash, urticaria, etc.

(2) Local adverse reactions such as erythema, pain, swelling, itching and induration.

　　Li Yuanfang (Secretary-General, International Finance Research Center, Institute of World Economics and Politics, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences)

　　Advocate the construction of a new international financial order and transcend the existing conflicts of interest in terms of ideas and patterns.

　　Chen Jianqi: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank are two important international financial institutions at present. Together with GATT (the predecessor of the World Trade Organization), they constitute the three pillars of the Bretton Woods system. After World War II, the international financial system has been dominated by developed countries such as the United States, and this phenomenon has not changed substantially so far. Nevertheless, the progress made by China in recent years in promoting the adjustment of the international monetary and financial system and preventing global financial risks cannot be underestimated.

　　First of all, China, together with other emerging economies, called on international financial institutions such as the IMF and the World Bank to reform their governance mechanisms, so as to push the IMF to transfer more than 6% of the voting rights to emerging developing countries and countries that are under-represented, thus steadily increasing the voting rights of emerging developing economies. China’s voting rights in the IMF rose to the third place in the world. In recent years, China has repeatedly appointed personnel to hold senior official positions in the IMF and the World Bank, and the number of China employees in the two organizations has also increased. These changes are a more representative embodiment of the international financial governance mechanism.

　　Secondly, the internationalization of RMB accelerated last year, especially the entry into the SDR currency basket became a landmark event, which is of great significance for optimizing the international monetary system. The RMB exchange rate market fluctuated greatly in the second half of last year, but China took active measures to deal with the risks, and the current exchange rate has gradually shown two-way fluctuations. At the same time, China, together with other countries, advocated the implementation of responsible macro-policies through the G20 Summit to prevent countries from adopting competitive devaluation. All these are of positive significance to the current global financial governance and financial risk prevention.

　　Xin li: Since the international financial crisis, China has not only vigorously advocated the construction of a new international financial order on multilateral occasions, including the G20, but also put this idea into practice through its own actions. First of all, the AIIB is an important measure for China to improve the existing international financial order. The AIIB is not only widely representative, but also creates a new situation in promoting global financial cooperation, especially intergovernmental financial cooperation, which indicates that the international financial system has begun to issue the voice of China. Secondly, the establishment of RMB international settlement center, the opening of RMB cross-border payment system, and the entry of RMB into SDR currency basket all mark the steady progress of RMB internationalization. Thirdly, as a new mechanism created in the field of international finance, the BRICS New Development Bank is also a perfection of the old international financial order. Finally, Chiang Mai initiated the multilateralization mechanism and the establishment of the Macroeconomic Research Office (AMRO) between ASEAN and China, Japan and Korea (10+3), which became the "Asian version" of the International Monetary Fund and played the role of regional financial stability anchor.

　　At present, the international financial center is gradually shifting from the west coast of the Atlantic to the west coast of the Pacific. This means the change of the global financial system with the dissolution of old financial interests and the weaving of new financial interests as the main contents. China is actively participating in this change and actively safeguarding the fundamental interests of developing countries in the process.

　　Li Yuanfang: The international financial crisis in 2008 exposed the deficiency and inadaptability of the old global economic governance in solving global imbalances, stabilizing the global financial system and preventing global financial risks. The era of globalization and the global economic structure have put forward extensive reform requirements for global economic governance, including reforming the international financial institutions under the original Bretton Woods system to make them play more effective global functions; Reforming the international monetary system to reduce systemic risks and promote global economic development; Global cooperation strengthens the supervision of transnational financial institutions and prevents moral hazard.

　　The reform of global economic governance order involves the relative changes of existing rights and responsibilities of countries, which will inevitably lead to complex contradictions and conflicts. If it is not handled properly, the reform may be stagnant. At the same time, it takes time to develop more fair, just and effective global governance. How to make a smooth transition and gather determination and confidence for further development requires the guidance and efforts of key participants. Due to China’s huge size and rapid rise in the global economic system, China is a stakeholder and a key actor in the global economic governance transition, and faces very complicated relationship problems. From the current practice, we can see that China has responded to these challenges with a very positive and pragmatic attitude. On the one hand, it has maintained enough respect and attention to the existing order and institutions. On the other hand, it has never been passive at critical moments, dared to innovate, and surpassed the existing conflicts of interest in terms of ideas and patterns, forming a favorable reform situation.

　　Mechanisms such as the AIIB and the BRICS New Development Bank have made the multilateral financial system more perfect.

　　Chen Jianqi: Multilateral international financial institutions have become important financing platforms in terms of infrastructure gaps in major economies such as Asia and the promotion of global economic growth. However, multilateral financial institutions such as the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank mainly focus on poverty alleviation assistance, while multilateral development financial institutions such as the AIIB and the BRICS New Development Bank initiated by China focus on infrastructure, making the multilateral financial system more perfect.

　　The establishment of the AIIB gave birth to an Asian multilateral development bank system with the participation of developed countries outside the US-led system, and adjusted the ecology of Asian multilateral development banks dominated by the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, which is of great significance to China’s participation in global economic governance.

　　Xin li: As a new regional international financial institution, the AIIB is not a substitute for the original international financial institutions, but a remedy for its deficiency in meeting the capital needs of developing countries. On the one hand, the AIIB is more open, free and inclusive. As an international multilateral financial institution spanning Asia, Europe and Latin America, the AIIB will undoubtedly have an impact on the dollar-dominated international financial system formed after World War II, and developing countries represented by China may become an important pole in the international financial system. On the other hand, the AIIB can help countries along the "Belt and Road" to continuously deepen interconnection construction, improve investment capacity and diversify investment risks in the "Belt and Road" region. "One Belt, One Road" is a new regional cooperation arrangement based on interconnection and aiming at regional common prosperity. Its concept of openness and tolerance determines that the AIIB will not only not challenge or replace the current international order, but also be able to work in parallel with the current regional economic cooperation mechanism and complement each other.

　　Li Yuanfang: It must be admitted that the reform process within the existing framework of global economic governance has greatly touched the old interests, so the reform is bound to be difficult and slow and needs a major opportunity to promote. The growth of emerging economies does not suddenly appear. China’s initiative of the AIIB and the BRICS New Development Bank jointly initiated by other BRICS countries are efforts to improve global economic governance outside the existing framework. On the one hand, they fill the gaps and shortcomings in the existing global economic governance, on the other hand, they are also of great significance to encourage and promote the reform and development of the original institutions.

　　The Asia-Pacific Free Trade Area has pointed out the direction for promoting the integration of rules in the field of international trade and investment.

　　Chen Jianqi: The 13th Five-Year Plan proposal comprehensively expounds China’s concept of promoting open development and achieving win-win cooperation from the aspects of perfecting the strategic layout of opening up, forming a new system of opening up, promoting the construction of the Belt and Road, actively participating in global economic governance, and actively assuming international responsibilities and obligations. Although specific governance rules related to win-win cooperation have yet to be formulated, it is certain that win-win cooperation constitutes the core thinking of China’s China plan to participate in global economic governance.

　　Xin li: Since the new century, the development of globalization is increasingly manifested in the refinement of different processes, sections and links in the process of product production and supply and the optimal allocation of spatial areas. In this process, the status of China and some emerging economies as "world factories" will continue to rise, and they will undertake more division of commodity production, thus demanding a larger world market. Economic and trade integration in the Asia-Pacific region came into being.

　　With the increasing global influence of China, it is bound to have broader and deeper economic and trade exchanges and cooperation with its trading partners. Allocating domestic and international resources and coordinating domestic and international markets will not only endow China’s economic development with richer connotations, but also profoundly affect the situation of economic globalization and multipolarization of the world economy. Therefore, it is not only in line with China’s interests, but also the practical needs of regional countries to achieve long-term development to establish a broader regional cooperation mechanism and promote the continuous extension of regional and even global production chains. The Asia-Pacific Free Trade Area advocated and promoted by China is more inclusive, which is a concrete measure for China to contribute "China wisdom" to build a new pattern of opening up the Asia-Pacific region and achieve win-win regional development.

　　Li Yuanfang: Due to the development of global value chain trade, the development of multilateral trade and investment governance framework such as the World Trade Organization (WTO) is facing more and more difficulties. At present, there is a trend of regional, bilateral and plurilateral trade and investment governance in the field of global trade and investment, and the fragmentation of governance rules in the Asia-Pacific region is obvious, with the emergence of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) promoted by the United States and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) led by ASEAN and actively participated by China. If TPP is independent of the existing rules system and absorbs members on the new high-standard platform, RCEP is more integrated, open and gradual. This cooperation is committed to narrowing the development gap among participating countries and achieving maximum mutual benefit in the implementation of the agreement, taking into account high-level goals and gradual implementation. These are two different ideas, and the latter is more inclusive. There is a certain competitive relationship between them, but different ideas also mean that they have the potential of complementarity and strategic interaction.

　　The Asia-Pacific Free Trade Area promoted by China is not only compatible and coordinated with the WTO multilateral trading system, but also regards TPP and RCEP as possible realization paths, with higher-level integration, so as to unify the opening process of the Asia-Pacific region and reduce the market segmentation that may be caused by the fragmentation mechanism. This has pointed out an important direction for promoting the integration of rules in the field of international trade and investment.

　　The "Belt and Road" construction is an important practice of China’s characteristic openness.

　　Chen Jianqi: Promoting the "Belt and Road" construction is a concrete practice of China’s win-win cooperation and opening-up concept. While promoting the economic and trade development of countries and regions along the route, it is also expected to build a win-win regional governance system in this region. In the long run, the "Belt and Road Initiative" will inevitably face the problem of docking with TPP and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership Agreement (TTIP).

　　Xin li: From an economic point of view, the Belt and Road Initiative is not only conducive to the integration and development of China and countries along the Belt and Road, but also conducive to global economic recovery and sustainable growth in the post-crisis era.

　　On the one hand, the "Belt and Road" spans Asia, Europe and Africa and involves dozens of countries, connecting the active East Asian economic circle with the developed European economic circle. In fact, based on its existing economic aggregate, trade scale, foreign exchange reserves and increasing overseas investment and development financing, China can do more to promote the globalization process and improve the world economic governance system, and the implementation of the "Belt and Road" will play a positive role in this regard. On the other hand, the Belt and Road Initiative can promote regional economic integration through closer cooperation among countries, form new production networks and consumer markets, enhance the international competitiveness of industrial economies in Asian countries, and inject new impetus into global economic recovery in the post-crisis era.

　　Li Yuanfang: Under the background of weak global economic growth and the urgent need for a breakthrough, improving regional infrastructure and comprehensively promoting trade, investment and financial cooperation are of great value to improving the efficiency of regional resource allocation and promoting economic development. This is the fundamental reason why countries and regions along the "Belt and Road" have maintained very high attention and enthusiasm for it.

　　The "Belt and Road" construction is an important field to practice the openness with China characteristics of "co-operation, co-construction and sharing". In the process of transformation from a participant in the international system to a provider of public goods, China will inevitably face difficulties, such as investment income protection and investment security, financing channels and risk management, and relations with local governments and people. On the basis of learning from the experience of relevant countries, China adheres to the concept of common prosperity and solves these problems more creatively, which will not only bring remarkable economic achievements, but also contribute China’s best practices to global economic governance and support the substantive progress of bilateral and multilateral relations with concrete cooperation.
