Global News: Expectation of interest rate cut frustrated again. US stocks fell for two consecutive days. Samsung started the first shot of mobile AI this year.

  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.

  According to the CME Fed observation tool, the current market expects that the possibility of the Fed starting to cut interest rates in March is about 57%, and it was still above 60% the day before.

  In terms of important news, Boeing passed the bad news again. On Wednesday, local time, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken was stranded in Davos due to a major failure of his Boeing plane and could not fly back to the United States as planned. In the US stock market, Boeing’s share price rose more than 1%, and it has fallen 22% so far this year. Earlier, Wells Fargo had downgraded Boeing’s stock rating to wait and see.

  In addition, Buffett has a "big move", this time taking a fancy to the tourism economy. Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway announced on Tuesday that it has acquired the remaining 20% equity of Pilot Travel Center, the largest travel service center operator in the United States, from the Haslam family, which has thus become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Berkshire. This further expands Berkshire Hathaway’s business map in the field of tourism services.

  On the enterprise side, Samsung officially released the Galaxy S24 series, a new generation flagship smartphone, at the Galaxy Unpacked event held in San Jose, California, which started the first shot of mobile artificial intelligence (AI) in 2024.

Samsung is the first Google Cloud partner to deploy mobile phones through Google Cloud using Gemini Pro and Imagen 2.

  Previously, it was reported that Apple is expected to launch a generative AI tool in June this year, and this year may become the year when AI is integrated into mobile phones. However, Apple has recently suffered from headwinds. The antitrust lawsuit was first opened in March, and the court requested to stop selling watches with blood oxygen detection function.

  US retail sales in December increased by 0.6% month-on-month, the largest increase in three months.

  Retail sales growth in the United States accelerated again in December, indicating that consumer spending is still resilient and will continue to support the US economy. The swap contract shows that the probability of the Fed’s interest rate cut in March is expected to drop to about 50%.

  Federal Reserve’s Beige Book: The economy in most areas has not changed, consumption is strong, and inflation has cooled down.

  Since the last Beige Book was published, there has been little or no change in economic activities in most areas. Consumer spending is strong, but the labor market has turned cold. Many companies say that consumers’ price sensitivity is increasing. In most areas, enterprises are increasingly optimistic about the future.

  Boeing’s serious failure caused Blinken to be trapped in Davos

  On Wednesday, local time, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken was stranded in Davos due to a major failure of his Boeing plane and could not fly back to the United States as planned. This is the latest blow to Boeing’s once brilliant and now seriously damaged reputation. However, the Boeing plane that Blinken was scheduled to take was a modified 737 old model for military use, not a 737 MAX 9 with "major problems" recently.

  Buffett once again shot big consumption! I took a fancy to the tourism economy this time.

  Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway announced on Tuesday that it has acquired the remaining 20% equity of Pilot Travel Center, the largest travel service center operator in the United States, from the Haslam family, which has thus become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Berkshire, further expanding Berkshire Hathaway’s business map in the field of travel services.

The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit refused to grant Apple a longer suspension of the import ban imposed by the US International Trade Commission (ITC), saying that Apple must stop selling smart watches with blood oxygen detection function.

  Vision Pro will be launched soon, and the media will experience it in advance, but it can’t be worn for half an hour.

  According to the evaluation of technology bloggers, Vision Pro is "the best of all similar devices tried in his career", but "it took half an hour to feel dizzy and sweaty" and "it took a long time to assemble".

Free vaccination! The specific arrangements are announced!

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.

Entering China Infectious Disease Prison: Police officers always insist on direct management.


  In Admiralty Prison, prisoners with different infectious diseases such as hepatitis, AIDS and tuberculosis are detained, and police officers make meals in different places according to the types of infectious diseases according to the doctor’s advice.



  Police officers are wiping highly contagious pus from the only patient (prisoner) in Beijing who is known as the "King of Syphilis" at present.


  Perhaps few people outside know what kind of special contest is going on behind the firmness and calmness in this special prison for holding infectious disease criminals.


  Fear of discrimination is a huge psychological obstacle for criminals with infectious diseases, especially those with sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS. In order to make them feel at ease, the police officers in Admiralty Prison always adhere to direct management and have zero-distance contact with patients. In the cell and playground, there are scenes of face-to-face communication between police officers and criminals with infectious diseases everywhere.


  On November 21st, Liu Chuan (a pseudonym) put on casual clothes and walked out of the gate of Admiralty Prison of Qinghe Branch of Beijing Prison Bureau.


  When the huge iron gate slammed behind him, Liu Chuan said to himself that a brand-new life had begun. Liu Chuan, who suffered from AIDS due to drug abuse and was imprisoned for drug trafficking, has the strongest idea at the moment: "I want to repay the society with a grateful heart."


  On the day before Liu Chuan was released from prison, 12 prisoners with HIV/AIDS held in Admiralty Prison signed a commitment letter, saying, "Stay away from drugs, cherish life, curb AIDS, fulfill your promise, and let the infection reach me". When signing the names, the prisoners had a firm expression on their faces, while the prison officers were calm.


  Perhaps few people in the outside world know what kind of special contest is going on behind the firmness and calmness in this special prison for holding infectious disease criminals.


  Contest 1: the contest between prisoners and diseases


  On the snow-white outer wall of the eighth section of Admiralty Prison, a dazzling red ribbon can be seen far away. This is the prison section where prisoners with AIDS are held.


  Lao Guo, 39, is already an "old man" here. Four years ago, he was sentenced to seven years in prison for robbery and entered the AIDS ward of Admiralty Prison. In four years, his sentence was reduced twice for good behavior, and he can go home in July next year.


  The inducement of robbery in Lao Guo is drugs. In 1993, Lao Guo began to take drugs, which not only made her family restless, but also made her health worse. In 1999, the hospital diagnosed him as an AIDS patient. This is a bolt from the blue for Lao Guo! He began to abandon himself, squandered his property, took drugs more and more fiercely, and committed crimes in order to raise drug money. Lao Guo said: "At that time, I had given up on life and wanted to commit suicide, but I didn’t have the courage."


  In 2004, Lao Guo went to Admiralty Prison with fear of AIDS. At that time, his body was very weak and emaciated, and there were many bleeding spots on his body. "When I first came in, I felt that I couldn’t hold out until I was released from prison. I just tried my best to go on a hunger strike and hang myself. I thought that I am an AIDS patient, and the country is too lazy to close (pledge). Maybe I will be released one day. " Lao Guo told reporters.


  But Lao Guo’s wishful thinking fell through. The prison police told him that the place where he is now is the prison where the country holds criminals with AIDS, and it is impossible to let him out because he is sick. At the same time, he also found a doctor to see him and let him know that his illness is not as serious as he thought. Sure enough, after a period of treatment, Lao Guo’s body recovered day by day, not only with appetite and spirit, but also with fewer bleeding spots. The fact finally calmed him down slowly.


  Today’s old Guo Kailang has changed a lot. He not only loves to talk and laugh, but also has established a very good relationship with prison police officers. Lao Guo told reporters: "The police officers here are very kind to us. Every time I finish the injection, the police officers help me put on my clothes, and I don’t dislike them at all. What do I have in mind and I am willing to talk to the police officer. "


  Contest 2: the contest between policemen and fear


  In the AIDS sub-prison area of Admiralty Prison, the reporter saw that the cells where prisoners live are spotless, and the living conditions of a three-person room are much smaller than those of ordinary prisons. Three times a day, nurses and prison guards will distribute medicines to the prisoners, and twice a day, the prisoners can go to the small playground outside the prison. And the police officers who supervise these criminals with AIDS live with them day and night. In the words of the policemen themselves, every criminal of infectious diseases is like an "untimely bomb". If anything goes wrong at work, it may cause danger to himself and others.


  Almost every policeman who has worked in an AIDS prison has had more than one thrilling experience in the process of taking care of prisoners infected with AIDS.


  In 2005, Cao Jian (pseudonym) was found to be infected with AIDS during the screening process of Beijing Prison Bureau, and was immediately sent to the AIDS surveillance area of Admiralty Prison. Cao Jian’s mood was very unstable. It happened that his wife filed for divorce with him at this time, which suddenly gave him a strong stimulus.


  One afternoon, when the sub-prison area organized prisoners to reform and study, Cao Jian suddenly went crazy, not only refused to accept the study, but also slammed his head against the door in the cell. After the police officer Sun Renguo found out, he immediately ordered him to stop outside the prison, but Cao Jian at that time simply did not listen to dissuade him. In order to prevent Cao Jian from self-injury, Sun Renguo forgot to think too much, opened the cell door and rushed in, hugged Cao Jian together, and pressed it down with all his strength.


  After a long time, Cao Jian finally calmed down, and Sun Renguo took a breath and walked out of the cell. But when he went to the pool to wash his hands according to his usual habit, he suddenly found a blood stain on his arm, which must have been inadvertently scratched by Cao Jian in the process of pulling, and Sun Renguo’s nerves suddenly became tense.


  Colleagues and leaders paid great attention to this situation, and immediately sent Sun Renguo to the hospital for blood tests, and the results showed normal. However, the doctor said that HIV must wait 40 days before it can be tested accurately. To this end, Sun Renguo and the prison leaders and colleagues followed and worried for more than a month. Until the final test results showed normal, everyone’s hanging hearts were down.


  Wang Mingyuan, deputy instructor of AIDS surveillance zone, told the reporter that because it is a special surveillance zone for infectious patients, police officers have to have physical examinations twice a year. "To tell you the truth, every time I have a physical examination, I feel so nervous. After all, I am with infectious diseases every day, and it is a bit of a burden psychologically. However, every time I get the physical examination form, nothing happens, and my heart is practical. How to do the work? "


  Contest 3: the contest between soul and demons


  There is a prison culture in Admiralty Prison, that is, "let criminals of infectious diseases inspire new life in hope". However, for prisoners who are deprived of their freedom and seriously ill, pessimism and despair often hang over them. Han Yuegang, head of the psychological correction room in Admiralty Prison, told reporters that among the criminals, especially those infected with AIDS, the proportion of people with suicidal tendencies is very high. In this case, psychological correction has become an important part of the reform work.


  November 20th is the first day that the psychological hotline for prisoners was officially opened. The reporter saw in the mental health guidance center for prisoners that the four psychological hotline rooms were for infectious disease offenders with different conditions such as AIDS, tuberculosis and hepatitis, and there were rattan chairs and coffee tables in the room. Here, prisoners can directly call the experts of "Beijing Psychological Crisis Research and Intervention Center" to talk to them about their psychological problems and receive guidance from experts.


  Lu Kai (pseudonym) was the first prisoner to call the psychological hotline. Two years ago, he was sentenced to prison for swindling and cheating, but after he went to prison, he learned that his former friend had gang-raped his girlfriend. Since then, Rukai has become extremely irritable, and his heart is to "kill these animals after he is released from prison." In the inner torment, he couldn’t sleep for several months, and his height of more than 1 meter and 70 kilograms was only 90 kilograms. After discovering his psychological problems, the police officers found the psychological correction room and gave him special psychological counseling, which finally helped him get rid of his heart disease.


  Han Yuegang told reporters that in recent years, Admiralty Prison has paid more and more attention to psychological correction. At present, there are three full-time psychological counseling police officers with the qualification of national psychological counselors in the whole prison, and there are two part-time psychological counselors in each of the eight sub-prisons, and the means of psychological correction are becoming more and more abundant.


  The reporter learned that music will be played on the TV in the prisoner’s cell for two fixed periods every day. This is also a part of prison psychological correction-music therapy. These music are not pop songs randomly selected, but "music groups" specially played by full-time psychological counselors according to the needs of adjusting the mood of prisoners at a certain stage. Han Yuegang said with a smile: "Our music therapy should be said to be very effective. At one stage, we played some songs to help sleep, and even the prison armed police called to complain that they wanted to sleep after listening to our songs."


  Contest 4: the contest between despair and new life


  Yao Jingqiang, deputy director of Admiralty Prison, said that the biggest feature of Admiralty Prison is "the prison in the hospital, the hospital in the prison", where not only AIDS prisoners are held, but also criminals of tuberculosis, hepatitis, syphilis and other infectious diseases are held. Therefore, it is necessary not only to do a good job in the education and reform of ordinary prisons, but also to do a good job in the treatment of prisoners.


  In order to provide professional treatment for patients, Admiralty Prison has established close cooperation with Beijing You ‘an Hospital, Anding Hospital and Tuberculosis Prevention and Control Institute, and experts and doctors have formulated detailed treatment plans for each infectious disease criminal. For difficult patients, the prison will also invite experts from the hospital for consultation to ensure that every infectious disease offender can also receive standardized treatment in the prison.


  There is still a patient with neurosyphilis in the third stage in Admiralty Prison. This kind of syphilis is the most serious of all syphilis. Four cases have been found in Beijing, and now only this prisoner is still alive. Even medical experts in this field feel a little incredible.


  As the saying goes, the disease should be treated in three ways and supported in seven ways. In order to help the prisoners regain their health, the prison has taken great pains in the prisoners’ diet. In the prisoners’ canteen, there are more than a dozen cooking foci, not only cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, syphilis, AIDS, tuberculosis and so on, but also special wills. Niu Aisheng, head of the Life and Health Department, said that in Admiralty Prison, every prisoner can eat an egg and drink different kinds of porridge for breakfast every day. Lunch is usually a combination of meat and vegetables, and then with different kinds of staple foods, dinner is mostly digestible liquid food and cereal. In addition, every week, the prison will work with doctors to study and formulate the recipes of prisoners for the next week, understand the dietary needs of different types of prisoners, and match meals according to the symptoms.


  In Admiralty Prison, although the food is good and the medical conditions are good, it is the sincere management of infectious disease criminals by each police officer that can most influence the prisoners. Police officers know that fear of discrimination is a huge psychological obstacle for criminals with infectious diseases, especially those with sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS. In order to make them feel at ease, the police officers in Admiralty Prison always insist on direct management and have zero-distance contact with patients. In the prison and on the playground, there are scenes of face-to-face communication between police officers and criminals with infectious diseases everywhere.

Double 11, the longest in history, brought the platform "full growth" battle report: "brand turnover" replaced the overall GMV.

On November 11, 2024, an anchor in Haitou Town, Ganyu District, Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province used a mobile phone to sell lobsters live. Vision china diagram

The 16th "double 11" shopping festival came to an end.

Double 11, which can’t be shaken every year, seems increasingly deserted in the atmosphere of public opinion. Perhaps because of the tiredness of the outside world for the shopping festival, e-commerce platforms chose to rush to run collectively. This year is also known as the longest "double 11" in history: since October 8, in less than a week, platforms including Pinduoduo, Tik Tok, Taobao Tmall and JD.COM have successively announced the launch of the "double 11" promotion, with a time span of one month.

Controversy still exists: It is rumored that Ralph Lauren, a clothing brand, has become a "collection artifact" of Taobao double 11, which is specially used to deal with the full or reduced rules of the platform, and the return rate in double 11 is as high as 96%. However, relevant rumors were denied by the platform.

It is worth noting that the implementation of the "trade-in" subsidy policy has led to a significant increase in household appliance consumption. According to the star map data, as of October 30th, the total sales of double 11 in 2024 reached 845 billion yuan. Among them, household appliances ranked first with sales of 132.4 billion yuan, accounting for 15.7% of the market. Mobile phone digital and clothing categories accounted for 14.2% and 14.0% of the market share with sales of 120.1 billion yuan and 118.4 billion yuan respectively.

The extended promotion cycle has certainly brought a more beautiful "report card", but what is the difference between this "report card" and previous years? What are the factors driving growth?

E-commerce Battle Report: Highlighting Brand Turnover

Judging from the battle reports disclosed by various platforms, double 11 still has rapid growth this year.

This year is another year of "stealth" in e-commerce transaction volume. JD.COM and Tmall, two traditional e-commerce platforms, have only published growth data such as order volume, user scale, brand and merchant turnover, and there is no more carnival after zero in previous years. Moreover, both companies have replaced the growth rate of "GMV" with the specific growth rate of "brand turnover".

At 24: 00 on November 11th, Tmall double 11 closed in 2024: the total turnover increased strongly, and the number of buyers reached a new high. In the whole cycle of Tmall double 11, the turnover of 589 brands exceeded 100 million, up 46.5% year-on-year, setting a new record.

The number of shopping users in JD.COM increased by over 20% year-on-year, and the order volume of live broadcast in JD.COM increased by 3.8 times year-on-year. The turnover of over 17,000 brands increased by over 5 times year-on-year, and the turnover of over 30,000 small and medium-sized businesses increased by over 2 times year-on-year.

If we look at the double 11 Battle Report of the two platforms in 2023: In 2023, Taotian Group said that "the order volume and total turnover increased in an all-round way"; In 2023, JD.COM said that "the turnover, the order volume and the number of users reached a new high".

Insiders from Taobao and JD.COM revealed to reporters that the overall transaction volume of the platform side has increased year-on-year, but the growth rate is relatively flat. From the perspective of the incremental source of the platform, the trade-in policy and the recovery of live e-commerce have greatly boosted the transaction volume.

Emerging e-commerce companies such as Tik Tok and Aauto Quicker are sharing the traffic of traditional e-commerce. Like e-commerce platforms, the turnover of "flagship" brands has increased this year.

According to the disclosure of Tik Tok e-commerce, from October 8th to November 11th, the turnover of over 33,000 brands doubled year-on-year, the turnover of nearly 17,000 brands increased by over 500%, the turnover of over 2,000 single products exceeded 10 million yuan, and a total of 275 brands realized the turnover of over 100 million yuan through live broadcast. As of October 20th, the GMV of Tik Tok Mall increased by 91% year-on-year.

According to the analysis of Guohai Securities Research Report, with the overweight of the national "trade-in" and other stimulus policies and the increase of subsidies for various e-commerce platforms, the vitality of the consumer market is expected to recover, and the follow-up performance of traditional e-commerce platforms and live e-commerce platforms will pick up.

"Government coupons also play a very positive role in promoting online consumption." Cui Lili, a chair professor in the Department of Digital Economy of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, told The Paper that the performance of e-commerce platforms superimposed with local government subsidies is more outstanding, especially the sales of high-value products such as 3C categories and computers are better.

Super anchor returns to double 11.

In September this year, the three sheep companies, where the "Crazy Xiao Yang Ge" with over 100 million fans was located, were punished for the existence of false propaganda in live broadcast, which triggered a shock in the live broadcast industry.

However, judging from the record performance, the head live broadcast room has a good battle situation in double 11 this year.

The data shows that the purchase amount of "double 11" in Li Jiaqi live room increased by more than 20% year-on-year; On the night of the spot sale of Tmall double 11, the turnover of the live broadcast room in Li Jiaqi exceeded 100 million yuan within 5 minutes.

During his stay in double 11, the turnover of Luo Yonghao’s "Make a Friend" exceeded 6.4 billion yuan, up 158% year-on-year, and the cumulative order volume exceeded 7.14 million, a record high.

"Simba" in online celebrity, Aauto Quicker, who once started a public opinion war with Xiao Yang Ge, also achieved good results. According to Xin Xuan’s disclosure, more than 200 live broadcasts were arranged from October 13th to November 11th, with a total sales volume of more than 68 million, and the total GMV increased by 61.9% compared with last year. Among them, there are 16 games with sales exceeding 100 million and 47 games with sales exceeding 10 million.

However, the previous industry chaos made the live broadcast industry enter an adjustment period. "The platform no longer supports the head anchor blindly, but began to pay attention to supporting the waist anchor and the tail anchor, and began to explore new marketing channels, scenarios and methods." Zhai Wei, executive director of the Competition Law Research Center of East China University of Political Science and Law, told the reporter.

"Big anchors should completely abandon illegal means such as creating false people, making gimmicks, and manipulating fans’ emotions." Zhai Wei said, "The live broadcast industry still has demand and prospects, and it also has strong resilience for sustainable development. In the context of peak traffic, the competition in the live broadcast industry will gradually transform into qualitative competition, and the industry will enter a new stage of development from the grassy era. "

The platform moves from competition to cooperation

Another highlight of double 11 this year is that the major e-commerce platforms have changed from "smoke filled" to "shaking hands and making peace".

On September 4th, Taobao announced its full support for WeChat payment. Wechat Payment responded that it has successively cooperated with UnionPay China Unionpay Quick Pass, JD.com Payment, payment platforms of the three major operators, and digital RMB, and will continue to explore in the future to continue to provide convenience for users on the basis of ensuring transaction security.

On October 16th, the old rivals JD.COM and Taobao also announced the news of cooperation: Jingdong Logistics will fully access the Taobao Tmall platform, and the third-party platform in JD.COM will also access the rookie; At the same time, shopping on JD.COM can be paid by Alipay, and connecting Jingdong Payment to Taobao Tmall is also being promoted.

This also means that it is the general trend for the platform to accelerate the demolition of the wall and move towards win-win cooperation.

However, according to the test in The Paper, there are still many things to be improved. At present, some products in Taobao already support WeChat payment. Click "More Payment Methods" to expand and choose. Some products don’t have the "WeChat payment" option. Taobao service replied that WeChat payment is still in trial and has not been fully opened yet. Please refer to the payment page if the order can be used.

The reporter tested a number of commodities in JD.COM, but Alipay payment is still in the gray-scale testing stage.

In October this year, referring to the effect of interconnection, Jia Luo, president of Tmall of Taotian Group, told The Paper that it has been observed that the frequency of use and the scale of users in young user groups and sinking market are growing rapidly. "It is expected that double 11 this year should be the largest number of people who participated in double 11 in history."

In the eyes of the industry, the peak of e-commerce traffic and the entry into stock competition are important reasons for the platform to hold hands. Ali, JD.COM and other traditional e-commerce companies are facing fierce challenges from Pinduoduo and Tik Tok e-commerce. The reporter learned from insiders in Tik Tok that after the establishment of Tik Tok Platform for more than two years, the transaction volume of platform commodities exceeded one trillion yuan.

"It is obvious that each sticks to the city and does not adapt to the consumer market under the current situation. The big manufacturers are already in the competition stage of the stock market, and each has its own needs for new growth and profitability." Zhuang Shuai, an e-commerce analyst and founder of Bailian Consulting, told the The Paper reporter, "Under the background that the overall growth of e-commerce has entered the stock, it is the correct idea for each platform to make use of each other’s advantages and strengths to complement each other. How can everyone give full play to their respective advantages and jointly serve consumers? This is the most important thing. Interconnection objectively improves the convenience of double 11 consumers’ shopping, and also encourages consumers’ enthusiasm for shopping in double 11. "

Comparing Omicron infection with Delta and The Lancet: The symptoms of people vaccinated with more than two doses became lighter.

Many studies have revealed that the severity of diseases infected with Omicron is less severe. So, compared with Delta, what are the clinical manifestations of Omicron infection?

Recently, a large-scale study from the United Kingdom revealed that in the epidemic period dominated by Omicron, the prevalence rate of 12 symptoms of those infected with two or three doses of vaccine was significantly lower than that in the Delta epidemic period, including loss of sense of smell, change of sense of smell, sneezing, runny nose, brain fog, sore eyes, headache, fever and so on.

The researchers said that the most significant symptom difference between the two groups is the loss of sense of smell, which is the diagnostic feature of early Covid-19 infection, but now less than 20% of cases will suffer from the loss of sense of smell. The results showed that the probability of olfactory loss of infected people was only 16.7% during Omicron epidemic, while this figure was 52.7% during Delta epidemic.

In addition, during the epidemic period in Omicron, the hospitalization rate of patients was even lower, at 1.9%; During the Delta epidemic, the hospitalization rate was 2.6%.

The research is entitled Symptom Prevention, Duration, and risk of hospital admission in individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 during periods of omicron and delta variant dominance: a prospective observatio Nal study from the ZOE COVID Study was published online in the authoritative international medical journal The Lancet on April 7th, local time.

The probability of 12 symptoms of Omicron infected people is reduced.

The main researchers of the above research are from King’s College London and Nottingham University, and three of them are consultants of the application ZOE. There are also five researchers who are employees of the application ZOE.

This study is a prospective longitudinal observation study, and the data is coming from the application ZOE, which used to be called "COVID-19 Symptom Study", and users can report infection test results and symptoms by themselves.

The purpose of this study is to compare the possibility of designated symptoms (32 symptoms monitored by ZOE) and the possibility of hospitalization between those infected in Omicron epidemic period and those infected in Delta epidemic period. Therefore, the data of two periods were compared and analyzed: from June 1 to November 27, 2021, during this period, Delta mutant was dominant in Britain, with a prevalence rate of more than 70%; From December 20th, 2021 to January 17th, 2022, Omicron mutant was dominant in Britain, and the prevalence rate was over 70%.

The study first included 63,002 ZOE users who were COVID-19-positive by PCR or LFAT from June 1, 2021 to January 17, 2022. Among them, 33,785 users tested positive during the Delta epidemic and 29,217 users tested positive during the Omicron epidemic.

After that, the study further screened the samples. Finally, the eligible participants were 16-99 years old, living in the UK, with a body mass index of 15-55kg/m2, who had been vaccinated with at least 2 doses of COVID-19 vaccine and reported symptoms. The study also matched the age, sex and vaccination times of these positive infected people according to 1:1. After matching, the total number of participants in Omicron epidemic period and Delta epidemic period decreased to 4,990 in each group.

 Through data analysis, it was found that among 4990 people in Omicron group, the most commonly reported symptoms were runny nose (76.5%), headache (74.7%), sore throat (70.5%), sneezing (63.0%), persistent cough (49.8%) and hoarseness (42.6%). Among the 4990 people in Delta group, the most commonly reported symptoms were runny nose (81.6%), headache (77.9%), sneezing (70.7%), sore throat (60.8%) and loss of sense of smell (52.7%).

The study made a detailed comparison between the symptoms of the two periods, and found that among the 32 symptoms evaluated in the study, the prevalence rate of 12 symptoms in Omicron epidemic period was significantly lower than that in Delta epidemic period, including loss of sense of smell, change of sense of smell, sneezing, runny nose, brain fog, sore eyes, headache, fever, alopecia, blisters on feet, tinnitus and dizziness.

Compared with the Delta epidemic period, the infected people in Omicron epidemic period are less likely to show at least one of the three typical COVID-19 symptoms: fever, loss of sense of smell and persistent cough. However, sore throat and hoarseness are more likely to occur during the epidemic period in Omicron.

The researchers concluded that the most significant symptom difference between the two periods was the loss of sense of smell, which was the diagnostic feature of early Covid-19 infection, but now less than 20% of cases will appear. The results showed that during the Omicron epidemic, the olfactory loss of infected people was relatively rare, only 16.7%, while this figure was 52.7% during the Delta epidemic.

In addition, the probability of many debilitating symptoms in Omicron’s case is obviously reduced, such as brain fog, burning eyes, dizziness, fever and headache.

What is the difference between the duration of symptoms and rehabilitation after the third injection?

Because all the participants in this study have been vaccinated with two or three doses of vaccine, the study also makes a comparative analysis of different vaccination States.

Regarding the hospitalization rate, the study found that compared with the Delta epidemic period, during the Omicron epidemic period, the hospitalization rate of infected people was lower (94 people in Omicron group were hospitalized, while 130 people in Delta group were hospitalized), which was similar among the two-dose vaccinators and the three-dose vaccinators. Overall, the hospitalization rate in Omicron was 1.9% in epidemic period, while in Delta epidemic period, the hospitalization rate was 2.6%.

The researchers said that the hospitalization rate of patients in Omicron epidemic period was significantly lower than that in Delta epidemic period, which supported the previous findings from South Africa and South Korea that the Omicron mutant was less severe in disease.

"We found that the hospitalization rate of Omicron infected people is 25% lower than that of Delta, which is consistent with the report of Discovery Health, a private insurance company in Johannesburg, which claims that the hospitalization risk of Omicron infected people is 29% lower than that of Delta infected people." The researcher wrote.

The study also analyzed the duration of symptoms of patients with different vaccination conditions.

For the participants who recovered within 21 days, the study compared the time for the acute symptoms to subside. The samples were matched Delta infected persons and Omicron infected persons, with 1530 persons in each group. The study found that, on the whole, the acute symptoms of Delta infection lasted longer, with an average of 8.89 days, while in Omicron, the figure was 6.87 days.

If divided into two doses and three doses, there is no obvious difference in the duration between the two doses. The average duration of acute symptoms in Delta group is 9.57 days, and that in Omicron group is 8.30 days. This difference is obvious among the three doses of vaccination. The average duration of acute symptoms in Delta group is 7.71 days, and that in Omicron group is 4.40 days.

The researchers said that the dramatic shortening of the duration of symptoms of infected people during the epidemic period in Omicron was related to three doses of vaccination.

In addition, the study also investigated the probability of recovery within 7 days after symptoms appeared in Omicron epidemic period and Delta epidemic period. It was found that the possibility of 7-day recovery of infected people in Omicron epidemic period was twice that in Delta epidemic period.

The researchers write that there are still some limitations in this study. Although the design of this study matches the vaccination situation (two or three doses of vaccination), it cannot match the length of time after vaccination. If compared with the matching duration after vaccination, the current research may bias the data to present the more serious clinical situation after Omicron infection. However, the researchers believe that this will strengthen the robustness of the main findings of this study, that is, the clinical manifestations of Omicron infection are not as serious as Delta.

  Xin li (doctoral supervisor of Beijing Normal University, main member of G20 Finance and Economics Research Group of Peking University, G20 expert of Ministry of Finance)

  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.

Changji, Xinjiang: Hutubi County took the lead in implementing "scanning code into enterprises" to standardize enterprise-related inspections in Xinjiang.

May 13th

Hutubi county market supervision management bureau union

13 law enforcement agencies

Enter the enterprise to carry out joint law enforcement inspection

This is the first time that Hutubi County has taken the lead in implementing "scanning code into enterprises" in Xinjiang.

Standardize enterprise-related inspections

In Xinjiang Xiyuchun Dairy Co., Ltd., law enforcement officers gently scanned the QR code with the help of the "Jisu Office" applet, and the system immediately presented the detailed basic information of law enforcement officers and the inspected enterprises. Subsequently, the municipal supervision, environmental protection, fire protection, health and other departments carried out law enforcement inspections according to their respective inspection priorities.

Ma Cheng, deputy section chief of the Food Production and Operation Supervision and Management Department of Hutubi County Market Supervision Administration, said: "One-code inspection is an important measure for us to optimize the business environment, and it is also a new requirement for improving the supervision efficiency. When we enter the enterprise, we can scan the code before inspection. Enterprises can also check the inspection qualifications and existing problems of personnel through the QR code. Inspectors only need to check one by one through the inspection items generated by the system and make records."

After the inspection, the law enforcement officers will comprehensively, objectively and truly input the inspection results into the system, and the formed law enforcement results will be confirmed and recognized by both parties. Enterprises can query the results through the "Jisu Office" applet to protect their right to know about the law enforcement process and results.

Ou Guobing, member of the Party Committee and deputy general manager of Xinjiang Xiyuchun Dairy Co., Ltd. said that the implementation of "scanning code into enterprises" has guaranteed the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises, reduced the interference to production and operation, and truly realized "traceability of inspection marks and full supervision of law enforcement"! Ou Guobing said: "The inspection method of’ scanning the code into the enterprise’ is very convenient. In the past, it was time-consuming and labor-intensive for more than a dozen units to inspect separately, but now it is all found out at one time. This not only greatly improves the efficiency of law enforcement inspection, but also allows enterprises to focus more time and energy on production and operation, and strengthens the normative constraints on law enforcement activities. The inspection results are also open and transparent. We can see all the inspection feedback in the background of mobile phones, which also makes us more truly feel that the business environment is there.

The implementation of "scanning code into enterprises" is an important measure to implement the "Opinions of the General Office of the State Council on Strictly Regulating the Administrative Inspection of Enterprises", which is of great significance to curb disorderly inspections and reduce the burden on enterprises. This year, Hutubi County established a "comprehensive inspection once" joint inspection mechanism, and followed the five-step working method of "whole process recording-scanning code to show evidence-comprehensive inspection-joint feedback-tracking rectification" to realize paperless inspection and whole process supervision. At the same time, 182 5G law enforcement recorders were distributed to all administrative law enforcement units to record the whole process of administrative law enforcement.

Gao Feng, director of the Judicial Bureau of Hutubi County, said: "In recent years, faced with the problem of too many inspection items and too high inspection frequency reflected by enterprises, we have effectively reduced the inspection frequency of enterprises through cross-departmental joint law enforcement, and clarified the work responsibilities of various departments through list inspection, avoiding multiple law enforcement and repeating law enforcement."

It is understood that since the pilot implementation in March this year, Hutubi County has reduced the frequency of inspections involving enterprises by 62%, and the satisfaction of enterprises has reached 97.3%. It has truly realized "going to the door once and checking many things", and a new pattern of business environment with "strong supervision and temperature service" is accelerating in Hutubi.

Gao Feng said: "Strengthen mutual supervision through joint law enforcement by various departments to avoid disorderly law enforcement and behavior. In the future work, we will continue to strengthen law enforcement methods, comprehensively optimize the business environment of the county, and provide a good legal environment for the high-quality development of the county economy and society.

The alarm bell is ringing! Henan released ten typical cases of production safety accidents in 2020.

  On January 28th, the Emergency Management Department of Henan Province released typical cases of production safety accidents in 2020 in the whole province, and sorted out and analyzed 10 production safety accidents, so as to promote all localities, departments and enterprises to learn the lessons from accidents, be prepared for danger in times of peace, sound the alarm bell and compact their safety responsibilities.

  It is understood that in 2020, all levels, departments and relevant units in the province will co-ordinate safety precautions and COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control, achieving a "three declines" in the total number of accidents, deaths and major accidents, and no serious accidents occurred throughout the year.

  01

  Xinyang Pingqiao District Fuxin Mining Co., Ltd. "3 13" was a major water leakage accident.

  At 3: 20 on March 13, 2020, a water seepage accident occurred in the second mining area of fluorite mine in Dashiling integrated mining area of Fuxin Mining Co., Ltd., Pingqiao District, Xinyang City, causing 7 deaths and a direct economic loss of 9.37 million yuan.

  Direct cause: illegal blasting operation in Fuxin mining industry caused a large amount of water in goaf to break into roadway, causing water seepage.

Scientific guide to propaganda and ideological and cultural work in the new era and process

    The national conference on propaganda and ideological and cultural work was held in Beijing. The most important achievement of this conference was to formally put forward and systematically expound the cultural thought of the supreme leader, emphasizing "continuously strengthening the study, research and interpretation of the cultural thought of the supreme leader, and consciously implementing it in all aspects and the whole process of propaganda and ideological and cultural work". The cultural thought of the Supreme Leader is the cultural chapter of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, which provides a powerful ideological weapon and scientific action guide for doing a good job in propaganda and cultural work in the new era and new journey and shouldering a new cultural mission.

  1. Deeply understand the great significance of the supreme leader’s cultural thought.

    To realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we must have theoretical thinking for a moment; Building a socialist modern country in an all-round way is inseparable from the guidance of scientific theory for a moment. In the field of cultural construction, it is necessary to lead by pluralism and neutrality, seek consensus in diversity, set the direction in change, establish the heart for the country and the soul for the nation, and it is even more inseparable from the shining of truth. In-depth study and implementation of the supreme leader’s cultural thought is of great practical significance and far-reaching historical significance for doing a good job in propaganda and ideological and cultural work in the new era and new journey, for building a strong country, for national rejuvenation, for raising the flag, and for long-term stability.

    This means that Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era of enriching and developing the supreme leader has made new landmark achievements. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has put forward a series of new ideas, new ideas and new strategies in the aspects of reform, development and stability, internal affairs, foreign affairs and national defense, and governing the party, country and army, scientifically answering the questions of China, the world, the people and the times, and creating and constantly enriching and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era. The "Ten Definitions", "Fourteen Persistences" and "Thirteen Achievements" put forward by the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee summarized the main contents of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward "six musts", which outlined the world outlook, methodology and standpoint and method of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the supreme leader in the new era. The supreme leader’s thought of strengthening the army, economic thought, ecological civilization thought, diplomatic thought and rule of law thought formed in various fields have made its scientific theoretical system increasingly extensive and profound. The supreme leader’s cultural thought not only has the innovation and breakthrough in cultural theory, but also has the deployment requirements of cultural work layout, which indicates that our party’s understanding of the law of cultural construction in Socialism with Chinese characteristics has reached a new height, indicating that our party’s historical self-confidence and cultural self-confidence have reached a new height.It marks that the new ideas, new viewpoints and new conclusions of our party in the field of propaganda and ideological and cultural work in the new era have achieved a systematic leap and creative sublimation, making the theoretical system of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s ideological science of the supreme leader in the new era more systematic, comprehensive, logical, rich in connotation and internally unified.

    This means that the party leadership’s propaganda and ideological and cultural work condenses the new essence of the times. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has placed propaganda and ideological and cultural work in an important position in governing the country, attended a series of important meetings, delivered a series of important speeches, and made a series of important instructions. He has made overall planning, classified guidance, deployment and promotion in various fields such as online information, literature and art, journalism, philosophy and social sciences, ideological and political education, and cultural inheritance and development, and guided the propaganda and ideological and cultural undertakings to achieve historic achievements and make historic changes in raising the flag and clearing the roots. In this process, the leadership, management, discourse, cultural self-confidence, new cultural mission and "two combinations" of ideological work have been put forward one after another and constantly improved. This series of theoretical creations has strung together the ideological development track from the original breakthrough of one thought point to the original breakthrough of many thought points, and then to the overall improvement of the ideological and theoretical system. It can be seen that the cultural thought of the supreme leader is the inevitable result of the continuous accumulation and sublimation of our party’s new ideas, new ideas and new judgments on cultural construction in the new era. This important thought fully reflects the fact that the theoretical achievements of cultural construction in the new era are becoming more and more perfect in systematization, physics and chemistry, which indicates that our party has reached a new height in its understanding of the law of cultural construction in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, its original contribution to Marxist cultural theory, and its historical and cultural self-confidence.It is a milestone in the development history of the party’s propaganda, ideological and cultural undertakings.

    This means that the new era, the new journey and the construction of the modern civilization of the Chinese nation have created a new guide to action. It is our new cultural mission in the new era to continue to promote cultural prosperity, build a cultural power and build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new starting point. To accomplish this new mission, there are many new contradictions, new problems and new challenges, and there are laws to follow, which need to be guided by scientific theories. Under the guidance of the supreme leader’s cultural thought, we should better raise the banner, gather people’s hearts, educate new people, promote culture and display image, unify more than 98 million party member’s thoughts with those of the CPC Central Committee, lead more than 1.4 billion people’s thoughts under the banner of the Party, and unite the majestic forces to promote the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation. In the international situation where the world changes rapidly in the past century and the international environment has undergone profound changes, we will not only strengthen our ambition to be Chinese, but also embrace all kinds of world civilizations with an open mind, and constantly enhance the national cultural soft power and the influence of Chinese culture. Under the new situation of the rapid development of information technology and the emergence of media matrix, we should better grasp the leadership, management and discourse power of ideological work in our hands, turn the variable of Internet into the increment of career development, and gather online and offline concentric circles. Under the guidance of the supreme leader’s cultural thought, we will better strengthen our cultural self-confidence, uphold openness and tolerance, persist in being upright and innovative, solve a series of problems faced by propaganda and ideological and cultural work with the wisdom of knowing change, the way to adapt to change and the courage to seek change, and open up a new world of career development.

  2. Accurately grasp the distinctive features of the supreme leader’s cultural thought.

    Accurately grasping the important characteristics of the supreme leader’s cultural thought is the key to fully understand the core essence and spiritual essence of this important thought. The cultural thought of the supreme leader is rich in connotation and profound in exposition. It is a theoretical summary of the practical experience of the party’s leadership culture construction in the new era, which enriches and develops Marxist cultural theory and realizes the internal unity of scientificity, popularity, practicality and openness.

    Access to truth, through rigorous scientific. The supreme leader’s cultural thought, with scientific theoretical category, strict logical structure and profound historical vision, incorporated cultural self-confidence into Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s "four self-confidences", incorporated the adherence to the socialist core value system into the basic strategy of adhering to and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, clearly publicized the mission and task of ideological and cultural work "raising the banner, gathering people’s hearts, cultivating new people, rejuvenating culture and displaying image", and put forward a major conclusion of "two combinations". He profoundly answered the important theoretical and practical questions such as what flag to raise, what road to take, what principles to adhere to and what goals to achieve in building Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture. This important thought is a systematic, logical and interconnected scientific theoretical system, which enriches and develops Marxist cultural theory and broadens the road of cultural development in Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

    The people’s nature of serving the people and casting souls. Comrade Mao Zedong once pointed out at the Yan ‘an Forum on Literature and Art: "The question of why people are a fundamental question and a question of principle." The cultural thought of the supreme leader always adheres to the mass viewpoint and mass line, which fully embodies the basic principle of historical materialism that the people are the creators of history. This important idea requires that we should persist in serving the people and socialism, that a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend, that we should persist in creative transformation and innovative development, and that we should constantly create new glories of Chinese culture. This important idea requires adhering to the people-centered creative orientation, putting the people in the highest position in the heart, taking people’s satisfaction and dissatisfaction as the highest standard to test art, and creating more excellent works that meet people’s cultural needs and enhance people’s spiritual strength. This important idea requires that social benefits should be put in the first place, social benefits and economic benefits should be unified, cultural undertakings and cultural industries should be developed in an all-round way, and more and better spiritual food should be provided for the people.

    The practicality of achieving the purpose of the body and connecting the body with the use. Marx said, "All social life is practical in essence", "Philosophers only explain the world in different ways, and the problem is to change the world". The viewpoint of practice is the basic viewpoint of Marxist epistemology, and practicality is a remarkable feature that distinguishes Marxist theory from other theories. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, with the historical initiative, extraordinary theoretical courage, outstanding political wisdom and strong mission of Marxist politicians, thinkers and strategists, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has adhered to and strengthened the Party’s overall leadership over propaganda and ideological and cultural work, strengthened his self-confidence in continuing the history and culture, charted a blueprint path for building a strong cultural country, made clear the mission and tasks of propaganda and ideological and cultural work, and pushed the propaganda and ideological and cultural construction to open a new chapter. The cultural thought of the supreme leader has both epistemology and methodology, both the overall guidance at the macro level and the practical path at the specific level, which shows the distinctive characteristics of this important thought, and shows great power in the construction of socialist culture in China.

    Keep pace with the times and develop continuously. Time is the mother of thought and practice is the source of theory. "Marx has repeatedly warned people that Marxist theory is not a dogma, but a guide to action and must develop with the changes in practice." The cultural thought of the supreme leader is an open and continuous ideological system, which will be enriched and developed with the deepening of practice. From August 2018, the National Conference on Propaganda and Ideological Work summarized the regular understanding of propaganda and ideological work with "nine persistences" to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, which focused on cultural construction from five aspects; From the profound exposition of "two combinations", especially "the second combination" and the construction of the modern civilization of the Chinese nation in June 2023 to the important requirements of "seven efforts" in this important instruction, the connotation is very rich and the discussion is extremely profound. These new ideas, viewpoints and conclusions are the theoretical summary of the practical experience in the construction of the Party’s leadership culture in the new era, and are the fundamental follow-up for doing a good job in propaganda and ideological and cultural work, which must be persistently implemented and continuously enriched and developed for a long time.

  3. Based on the new era and new journey, thoroughly study, publicize and implement the cultural thought of the supreme leader.

    The value of theory lies in guiding practice, and the purpose of learning lies in application. In the new era and new journey, to study, publicize and implement the cultural thoughts of the supreme leader, we should base ourselves on the new situation and new tasks of accelerating the evolution of the world’s unprecedented great changes in the past century, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation entering a critical period, and the coexistence of strategic opportunities and risk challenges, and work hard to learn, believe and use, deepen the internalization and transformation, continuously improve the political position, deepen understanding and recognition, and promote the implementation of the transformation.

    Raise your political position. Political position is the most fundamental, basic and important position for party member cadres. It is necessary to thoroughly study and implement the cultural thought of the Supreme Leader at a height related to the party’s future and destiny, strengthen the party’s overall leadership over propaganda and ideological and cultural work, implement political responsibilities, resolutely and effectively prevent and resolve ideological risks, and solidly promote cultural construction in Socialism with Chinese characteristics. We should thoroughly study and implement this important thought from the perspective of national foundation and national movement, deeply realize that "spiritual poverty is not socialism", widely practice socialist core values, and improve the construction of innovative spiritual civilization. Standing at a height related to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we should thoroughly study and implement this important thought, constantly consolidate the common ideological foundation of the United struggle of the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country, cast a solid sense of the community of the Chinese nation, and make all ethnic groups hold together like pomegranate seeds in the big family of the Chinese nation, thus providing strong ideological guarantee, strong spiritual strength and favorable cultural conditions for comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

    Deepen understanding and recognition. Only by understanding can we agree; Only when you agree with it will you consciously practice it. It is necessary to strengthen the comprehensive understanding and mastery of the cultural thought of the Supreme Leader, and link it with Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era, instead of studying it unilaterally; Learn by systematically grasping its basic viewpoints and scientific system, rather than learning piecemeal; Develop geoscience in combination with the propaganda of ideological and cultural work in the new era, rather than static geoscience. Grasp the Marxist standpoint and method that runs through it, and learn the housekeeping skills of doing a good job in propaganda and ideological and cultural work. Deeply understand the decisive significance of "two establishment", constantly strengthen "four consciousnesses", strengthen "four self-confidences", achieve "two maintenance", and enhance the political recognition of the supreme leader’s cultural thought; Deeply understand the essence and charm of this important thought and enhance ideological identity; Deeply understand the milestone significance of this important thought in the development history of Marxist cultural theory, and enhance theoretical recognition; Deeply understand the people’s feelings and mission of this important thought, and enhance emotional identity.

    Promote the implementation of transformation. Only by transforming and implementing ideas can we constantly show our great power. We should consciously use the supreme leader’s cultural thought to guide the practice of cultural construction in the new era, master the leadership methods, thinking methods and working methods contained therein, and constantly improve our political ability, thinking ability and practical ability to do a good job in propaganda and ideological and cultural work in the new era and new journey. Apply the cultural thought of the supreme leader to the implementation of the strategic deployment of cultural construction at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, earnestly enhance the sense of responsibility and mission, and implement the requirements of various tasks in a precise and detailed manner with the spirit of nailing nails. Turn the learning achievements into a strong driving force to overcome difficulties and start businesses, be good at using this important idea to solve various contradictions in the field of propaganda, ideological and cultural work, consolidate and expand the mainstream ideological public opinion in the new era, and show new weather and new actions in the practice of building a socialist cultural power and building a modern civilization of the Chinese nation.
