[Circumferential depth] "De-Americanization era", the Middle East ushered in "reconciliation season"

  [Global Times correspondent in Syria and Egypt Xue Dan Huang Peizhao] After Saudi Arabia and Iran signed a joint statement in Beijing on March 10, agreeing to resume diplomatic relations, good news came from the reconciliation between the two countries — — According to a report by the Saudi National News Agency on March 27th, Foreign Minister Shai agreed to hold a bilateral meeting during Ramadan to speed up the resumption of diplomatic work between the two countries. The warming of relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran is only part of the "reconciliation season" in the Middle East. Recently, high-level visits have entered a frequent period between Arab countries or between Iran, Turkey and Arab countries, and relations between countries have improved significantly. For more than a century, the Middle East has been one of the most turbulent regions in the world, with constant conflicts among countries and within countries. What has laid the foundation for the turmoil in the Middle East? What makes the parties to the long-term conflict now extend an olive branch to each other? How will this affect the world?

  "breaking ice" and "thawing" become key words

  "Breaking the ice" and "thawing" have become the key words of recent diplomatic activities in Middle East countries. On March 19th, nine days after Saudi Arabia and Iran announced that they had agreed to resume diplomatic relations, the Iranian President’s Office said that President Leahy had received and accepted the invitation of Saudi King Salman to visit. The warming of relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia has also led to the thawing of relations between Tehran and other Arab countries. According to AFP and other media reports, on March 16th, Shamkhani, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, held talks with UAE President Mohammad in Abu Dhabi. On March 13th, Iran expressed its hope to resume relations with Bahrain, so as to end the seven-year relationship breakdown. Tehran also hopes that the "thawing tide" can be extended to Egypt, Jordan and other countries. According to the American Grid News Network, Saudi Arabia and Iran are considered to be a pair of old enemies in the Middle East, and the religious and political contradictions between the two countries are very complicated. In 2016, Saudi Arabia executed a Shiite cleric, and in Tehran, the Iranian capital dominated by Shiite Muslims, protesters attacked the Saudi embassy, and then the two countries broke off diplomatic relations. Arab countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Kuwait immediately cut off or downgraded their diplomatic relations with Iran.

  With the breaking of the relationship between Saudi Arabia and Iraq, the reconciliation between Arab countries is also accelerating. Also on March 19th, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad visited the United Arab Emirates, and the Afghan military sent fighter jets to escort him. President Muhammad personally greeted Bashar at the airport, and then the two men discussed issues such as "brotherhood" and "strengthening cooperation" between Syria and Syria. After the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011, the League of Arab States suspended Syria’s membership and publicly supported Syrian opposition forces. Regarding Bashar’s visit, Mohammed said that Syria has been away from the Arab family for a long time, and "it is time to go home now". In addition to the UAE, Saudi Arabia is also holding talks with Syria to explore the restoration of consular relations. Reuters previously said that Saudi Arabia and Syria may reopen their embassies in late April. Jordan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Overseas Chinese Affairs Assafadi and UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Syria Peterson also discussed the initiative to solve the Syrian crisis through direct intergovernmental dialogue.

  The relationship between Israel and Arab countries is also constantly breaking the ice. According to the US "Wall Street Journal" report, Oman abolished a decades-long ban in February this year, clearing the way for Israeli planes to fly over Afghanistan’s airspace. This move shows that the relationship between Israel and the Arab countries that have long refused to openly accept this Jewish state has been further thawed. Earlier, Israel had normalized relations with several Arab countries, including Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Morocco.

  "Reconciliation season is coming in the Middle East". According to the Gulf Times of the United Arab Emirates, there have been many encouraging reconciliation phenomena in the Middle East recently, including cavusoglu’s visit to Egypt on March 18th, becoming the first Turkish foreign minister to visit Egypt in 10 years. Even Palestine and Israel are negotiating to curb violence at least during Ramadan. The two sides recently held a meeting in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, and agreed on a plan to stop the escalation of violence. The atmosphere of reconciliation between countries also has an impact on both sides of the conflict in some countries. After 10 days of negotiations in Geneva, Switzerland, the Yemeni government and Houthi armed forces recently reached an agreement on prisoner exchange, agreeing to release 887 detainees. The parties to the conflict in Sudan also realized the value of reconciliation and agreed to promote peace through the political process.

  In fact, this round of "reconciliation tide" in the Middle East can be traced back to the second half of 2020 at the earliest. The British "Middle East Eye" news network said that at that time, the UAE and Iran began to contact, and Saudi Arabia contacted Qatar in early 2021. Subsequently, intensive diplomatic contacts were launched between Egypt and Qatar and other Arab countries, and between Turkey, Israel and Iran and Arab countries. For example, the Israeli president visited Turkey in March 2022, which was the first time that an Israeli president visited Ankara in 15 years.

  Divide and rule in western countries is the source of unrest.

  For a long time, the Middle East has been one of the most turbulent regions in the world. According to Qatar Al Jazeera, in the past half century, there have been more wars in this region than in any other region. After the end of the cold war, violent conflicts in many parts of the world have subsided, but the Middle East is the opposite. Since the 21st century, the armed conflicts in this region have accounted for one third of the total armed conflicts in the world. However, the "Middle East Forum", an American think tank, has previously issued a document pointing out that in the four centuries before the First World War, the Middle East was relatively stable. Wang Guang, a professor at Shanghai International Studies University and executive director of the China-Arab Reform and Development Research Center, said in an interview with the Global Times reporter that in history, Arabs have lived in the same country for a long time. Although their relationship is complicated, they have many integrations and close contacts.

  So, what makes the Middle East so "flammable and explosive"? Wang Guangda said that the long-term turmoil in the region has both internal and external causes, and the politicization of religious issues is one of them. From the religious point of view, there are two pairs of contradictions in the Middle East countries. First, the contradiction between Islamic countries and Israel is the main contradiction in the Middle East countries, which has continued since the founding of Israel. Secondly, the contradiction between Islamic countries is mainly reflected in the struggle between Sunni countries represented by Saudi Arabia and Shiite camps represented by Iran for the leadership of the Islamic world. This contradiction has been continuously fermented since the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979 and intensified in the 21st century. An important reason for the long-term disharmony between Middle East countries is that religious issues have been used by extraterritorial forces and become a tool for the West to provoke relations between Middle East countries.

  "The Sykes-Pico Agreement of 1916 opened a century of Middle East history." According to the UAE newspaper El Pais, the traditional view is that this secret agreement between Britain and France to carve up the Asian part of the Ottoman Empire is the source of chaos in the Middle East. Professor Logan of Oxford University said that Britain, France and other western countries forcibly demarcated national borders in the Middle East and used them to divide and rule these countries, laying a hidden danger for future conflicts. If the Balfour Declaration written by the British Foreign Secretary in 1917 led to the continuous Arab-Israeli conflict, then France’s attempt to establish a Christian nation-state in Lebanon not only led to the partial disintegration of the country, but also led to the conflict between Lebanon and Syria. The root cause of the border conflict between Iraq and Kuwait is also territorial dispute.

  After the Suez Canal crisis in 1956, the United States replaced Britain and France as the main "player" in the Middle East, and Washington’s Middle East policy also had a long-term impact on the pattern of the region. Wang said that the Middle East is one of the cradles of the Cold War, and it is also a place where the United States and the Soviet Union compete for hegemony. Countries in the region choose to take sides and join different camps. After the end of the Cold War, the United States dominated the Middle East, forcibly promoted regime change and the so-called "democratic" export, and plunged the Middle East into perennial war by waging war and instigating the "Arab Spring", bringing deep suffering to the local people.

  With the change of security concept, countries are more pragmatic and open.

  "(Middle East ‘ Reconciliation tide ’ ) is determined by the changes in the broader international situation. "Al Jazeera and other media all mentioned the United States when analyzing the accelerated reconciliation of Middle East countries. The United States continues to shift its strategic focus to the Asia-Pacific region, gradually changing its strategic focus in the Middle East and giving up its traditional commitment to Arab allies. This has led American Middle Eastern allies to gradually realize that Washington cannot be trusted, so they began to make efforts to diversify their security and military partners and implement more hedging strategies. Both Saudi Arabia and Iran want to join the BRICS cooperation mechanism, and Iran is already an observer of the SCO. Gary Peng, a scholar at American Wesleyan College, believes that, to a large extent, the Middle East has entered the "de-Americanization era", which is characterized by more pragmatic and open governments and mixed alliances among countries, and they do this in order to win more room for manoeuvre for themselves.

  Wang Guangda said that the United States, which is keen on camp confrontation, has gradually implemented strategic contraction in the Middle East, while China, which upholds the concept of peaceful development and win-win cooperation, has increasingly close ties with countries in the Middle East, and the "One Belt, One Road" initiative is also well received by these countries. In the "tide of reconciliation" in the Middle East, China played a role of boosting and mediating.

  Ezzat, executive director of the Egyptian Foreign Affairs Committee, said in an interview with the Global Times that the people in the Middle East have suffered from war for a long time and have long longed for peace. With the changes in the international situation and the promotion of all parties, Middle Eastern countries have begun to realize that peace is the best choice, which provides important conditions and impetus for reconciliation. Li Xueyan, from the Middle East Institute of Shanghai International Studies University, said that from the perspective of the region, "seeking peace and development" has become the mainstream aspiration of countries in the Middle East in recent years, and it has also enhanced the willingness of countries to resolve conflicts. In addition, regional countries also hope to expand their influence in the construction of a new Middle East order, which needs to be shaped by soft power rather than war. In particular, it should be pointed out that the urgent task for most countries in the Middle East, represented by Saudi Arabia, is to speed up development and change the single economic development model that relies on oil. Therefore, their focus is no longer on geopolitical games, but on creating a better surrounding environment, improving regional relations and creating conditions for domestic development.

  The British "Middle East Eye" news network and other media said that the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic and the losses caused by it also made Middle East countries more pragmatic and began to give priority to interest-based agendas such as trade rather than ideological agendas. This is particularly evident in the reconciliation process between Egypt and Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Turkey. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine makes the location advantage and the importance of oil and gas resources in the eastern Mediterranean more prominent, thus creating a positive atmosphere for Turkey, Israel and Egypt to reach a consensus. In addition, the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria on February 6th created space for the "disaster relief diplomacy" of Middle East countries. Some analysts said that the Trump administration played an important role in promoting reconciliation between Israel and Arab countries.

  The United States and the West will not let go easily.

  What impact will this "reconciliation tide" in the Middle East countries have on the region and the world? First of all, Saudi Arabia and Iran have played an important role in shaping the political structure in the Middle East, and the improvement of relations between the two countries may further ease the internal conflicts in other Middle East countries. According to media analysis such as CNN, Yemen’s civil war broke out in 2014, and Shay supported the opposing factions in Yemen’s civil war. Reconciliation between the two countries will promote a ceasefire between the two sides of the Yemen conflict and form an inclusive national government. A similar situation may also be staged in Lebanon and Syria. Analysts say that it is also in Iraq’s interest for Shai to achieve reconciliation, because since the fall of Saddam Hussein’s regime in 2003, Iraq has become an arena for confrontation between Tehran and Riyadh.

  Wang Guang said that the acceleration of reconciliation among Middle Eastern countries will enhance their influence in international organizations and increase their weight in the multipolar world structure. If the countries in the Middle East put more energy into seeking reform and development, the people in the Middle East will actually benefit. If the countries in the Middle East break the barriers and become one, they will create a strategic economic zone with rich resources and important geostrategic value, and an integrated Middle East market may appear in the future. The long-term turmoil in the Middle East has seriously affected world peace and development. If the region stabilizes, it will be an important contribution to promoting world peace. All countries will benefit from the stability of the Middle East, a region of great geopolitical and geo-economic significance.

  However, The New York Times, Britain’s "Middle East Eye" news network and other media believe that the sustainability of reconciliation among countries in the Middle East and the resilience of the process of normalization of relations remain to be seen. The international and regional situations that promote the accelerated reconciliation of countries in the region are prone to change, and there are also uncertainties within countries, so how far reconciliation can go is still unknown. Wang Guangda reminded that it will take time for Middle East countries to form consensus and join forces. For the Middle East, a region with special geostrategic value, the United States and the West will not let go easily, but will probably try to undermine the process of regional reconciliation.

  While countries in the Middle East were carrying out shuttle diplomacy, the US military said that it had carried out air strikes against Iranian-backed militants in eastern Syria on the evening of March 23rd. In the afternoon, a drone suspected to be launched by pro-Iranian militants attacked a local US military facility, causing casualties among US contractors and soldiers. Jalillund, a professor of international relations at Tehran University, said that some regional and international forces do not want security and peace in the Middle East. They are trying their best to create problems between Iran and Arab countries and prevent Syria from returning to the embrace of the Arab world.

Qin Yizhi went to china network television for investigation.

  On the morning of March 3rd, Qin Yizhi, the first secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, and his party went to china network television (CNTV) to conduct a special investigation on "Volunteer Action of Youth Network Civilization", participated in a symposium on the theme of volunteer action of youth network civilization, and issued a "Declaration of My Network Civilization" through the Weibo platform of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League: surfing the Internet according to law, being civilized and being rational, and striving to be a "good netizen in China". Chang Yu, secretary of the Communist Youth League Beijing Municipal Committee, Yuan Zhengming, deputy director of CCTV, and Wang Wenbin, secretary of the Party Committee and general manager of china network television, investigated together.

  Qin Yizhi visited the news duty room, national network video database, global network video distribution monitoring center, national new media integrated broadcast control platform and other core business departments in china network television. While visiting, Qin Yizhi inquired about the operation and development of each business in detail, and had a concrete and in-depth exchange with the youth of the League members who explained on the spot on content production and technology research and development.

  Subsequently, Qin Yizhi had a discussion with more than 40 people, including representatives of youth network civilization volunteers and CNTV young employees. Wang Wenbin briefly introduced china network television’s work and achievements in guiding young people to surf the Internet in a civilized way, spreading positive energy on the Internet, and creating a clear cyberspace. Young business backbones introduced Illustrate Our Values, CCTV network Spring Festival Evening, interactive products of "panda lighting firecrackers" and collection activities of "Remember Homesickness".

  At the symposium, the representatives of young volunteers with Internet civilization spoke one after another, talking about the great changes in life and work brought about by the rapid development of the Internet, and talking about suggestions for guiding young people to surf the Internet in a civilized way. Yan Jin, a young employee of the Communist party member Network, recalled the experience of being deeply infected by the demonstration and leading effect formed by the rational expression of online emotions by college students’ "village officials" and the civilized participation in online interaction during the solicitation of the theme of "Exposing Your Chinese Dream". In the summer, the young staff of the editorial office talked about how to produce "immunity" when dealing with the negative energy of these networks, combining their work experience of participating in the "special action to purify the network environment" for many times; Jiang Wenwen, a young employee of IPTV business section, shared some useful attempts and editing ideas on how to make good use of the expressions that young people like to see and hear to promote truth, goodness and beauty. Wang Danli, a young employee of the mobile Internet business segment, conducted a small survey on the mobile phone client at the scene and shared his insights gained by sharing civilized net posts in the mobile Internet and praising concise and interesting positive energy reports. Chenchen, a young employee of the Renaissance Forum, talked about the experience of actively spreading positive energy in the column "Give a heartfelt message to the General Secretary" and winning praise from netizens.

  After listening to everyone’s speeches, Qin Yizhi said that he was a user of china network television, and he was very proud of this young staff with an average age of only 27. He highly affirmed the achievements of young employees in china network television in making the mainstream online public opinion bigger and stronger, promoting Chinese excellent traditional culture, and cultivating socialist core values by actively using youth thinking, youth perspective and youth’s favorite ways.

  Qin Yizhi pointed out that when meeting with the advanced representatives of the Fourth National Civilized Cities, Civilized Villages and Towns, Civilized Units and Minors’ Ideological and Moral Construction, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that to realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we should be extremely rich in material wealth and spiritual wealth, and we should continue to make unremitting efforts to build socialist spiritual civilization. At present, the Internet is increasingly becoming a "home" for teenagers to learn information, learn knowledge and have fun. Just as we don’t want the real home to be dirty, we should extend the spiritual civilization construction and youth volunteer action to the "online home" and work together to create a clean, comfortable and clear "online home". The majority of young netizens should actively practice the requirements of the Supreme Leader’s General Secretary, start from themselves, surf the Internet in accordance with the law, in a civilized way and rationally, actively participate in the voluntary action of youth network civilization, and strive to be "good netizens in China" to make cyberspace less resentful and more upright; Less false and ugly, more true, good and beautiful; Less slander and more tolerance and understanding; Less negative energy, more positive energy, and a strong spiritual strength for realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

  Qin Yizhi pointed out that young Internet practitioners have a particularly important influence on the ecological construction of online public opinion, and they should shoulder particularly important responsibilities.

The Way out of Poverty of "Carambola Village" in Yunxiao Xiahe, Zhangzhou

  Zhangzhou, Southeast Network, November 8 (reporter Lin Yongqing of this website) strolled in the clouds and fell in love with the peaches and peaches in the river. Yunxiao County’s "Xiahe Carambola" has always enjoyed a good reputation. As the "largest village" for carambola planting, Xiahe Village in Yunxiao County has been planting carambola for nearly 150 years. The total annual output of carambola in the village is 25,000 tons, with a total output value of 120 million yuan. In 2013, it was recognized as the third batch of national "one village, one product" (carambola) demonstration villages by the Ministry of Agriculture and "Xiahe Carambola" in 2016.

  However, in the early years, due to the lack of scientific guidance and industrial layout, local farmers fought their own battles, and the development of Xiahe carambola industry was once in a dilemma. More and more young people choose to go out, and the rest of the old people are struggling to live in their own Yangtaoyuan. The small mountain village has become an "empty shell village" and gradually put on the "hat" of the provincial key poverty alleviation village.

  Thanks to the start of the tough battle against poverty, the Party Committee and government of Xiahe Township actively implemented industrial poverty alleviation in Xiahe Village, vigorously supported carambola planting, accelerated the development of carambola processing industry and rural tourism, and continuously extended the e-commerce poverty alleviation work to cooperatives and poor people. In 2016, 36 poor households with 133 people were lifted out of poverty in the village; in 2017, 31 poor households with 117 people were lifted out of poverty; in 2018, 5 poor households with 15 people were lifted out of poverty, and the village collectively lifted its hat.

  Improving the quality of carambola and promoting the model of industrial poverty alleviation

  Before and after beginning of winter, it was when carambola was intoxicating. On November 7th, "E Road Peer & lsquo; Zhang ’ Charming "In 2019, a large-scale collecting tour group of Zhangzhou, a national key online media, came to Xiahe village: the ancient tea-horse road, the group of century-old carambola trees, the ancient castle, the Gu Lou house, the beacon tower, the gurgling sound of running water and the fragrant fruit. On the banks of the stream, the" carambola town "was particularly eye-catching.

  Today’s Xiahe is not the poor village at the provincial level.

  "In the past, what worried us most was that carambola could not sell at a good price." Cai Jinsong, secretary of the branch of Xiahe Village, told the reporter that in the past, although the planting area of carambola in Xiahe Village was large but scattered, the varieties were mainly local carambola, with sour taste and high output but poor sales. In addition, affected by factors such as remote geographical location and inconvenient transportation conditions, farmers can only "walk, ride, etc." when selling carambola. They walk to the neighboring village with their hands on their shoulders to sell it, ride a three-wheeled motorcycle for half an hour and transport it to the urban area for sale, waiting for the purchaser to enter the village. "Carambola fresh fruit can’t be sold in 2 yuan per catty."

  Why to change this situation? Xiahe Township Government hired experts from the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences to establish a variety improvement experimental park, and planned to build a 500-mu carambola planting demonstration base. On the basis of promoting the local variety "Tiger-tailed" planting, Malaysian crystal carambola, Taiwan Province soft-branch carambola, Malaysian red-fleshed carambola and other varieties were introduced for high grafting and planting in the township.

  The quality of carambola has improved, and a number of farmers’ professional cooperatives have been established in Xiahe Village to apply for the registered geographical trademark of "Xiahe Carambola" for local carambola, and to formulate the "local standard" of carambola in a unified way. Since then, the village has vigorously promoted the industrial business model of "cooperative+base+farmers+market", and on this basis, it has implemented the industrial poverty alleviation model of "base+cooperative+poor households". "All the poor households in the village have been included in the cooperative, and the poor households who have planted carambola have signed an agreement with the cooperative, which will underwrite the purchase and sales, and provide technical support and management training, and each household can increase their income by more than 3,000 yuan per year!"

  Since 2016, there have been 36 poor households with 133 people in Xiahe Village who have achieved poverty alleviation through cooperatives.

  Extending the carambola industrial chain to realize "one after another" production

  At present, rural leisure tourism is quietly emerging in Xiahe Village. In Xiahe Carambola Ecological Sightseeing Park, you can always see tourists weaving, picking carambola in the "10,000-acre carambola sea", enjoying candied fruit in an idyllic hut, or enjoying the beautiful scenery on the lookout … …

  Taking Xiahe Village in Yunxiao County as a demonstration site, the implementation of fixed-point precision poverty alleviation will not only make the carambola industry bigger and stronger, but also promote the carambola industry "one after another", extend the carambola processing industry and tourism, realize the linkage of three industries, form a pattern of "one production after another", and realize the "three harvests" of agricultural efficiency, farmers’ income increase and fiscal and tax growth.

  "Xiahe Village takes the carambola industry as the axis, creating a closed loop of carambola processing industry and rural tourism industry, activating rural economic vitality, effectively increasing the income of Xiahe Village, and radiating the economic development of the township." Cai Yuzhong, propaganda officer of Xiahe Township, said that at present, Xiahe carambola has formed a series of products, and the annual sales of carambola series products produced by several farmers’ professional cooperatives and food processing enterprises have reached more than 10 million yuan after being put on the market.

  Xiahe Village also focused its attention on the development of modern leisure tourism industry. In 2016, with 10,000 mu of carambola base as the fulcrum, Xiahe Township invested 150 million yuan to build a carambola eco-tourism park in Xiahe Village, and strived to build a multi-functional carambola eco-tourism park integrating modern agriculture and cultural tourism.

  Later, Xiahe Village held the Carambola Festival in succession, and through the activities, it developed a rural tour integrating picking experience and leisure sightseeing, attracting self-driving tourists from Xiamen, Quanzhou and other places. The carambola picking season in February 2017 alone attracted more than 60,000 tourists, driving economic income of more than 4 million yuan. The third carambola picking season held in January 2018 not only attracted tourists from Fujian and Guangdong, but also reached a strategy with mainstream online and offline travel agencies.

  "Now there are self-help tour groups going to Xiahe every weekend, and the role of rural tourism radiation is increasingly apparent." Cai Yuzhong said that rural tourism has driven the income of poor households in Xiahe Village. Since 2016, 52 poor households in Xiahe Village have increased their income through rural tourism, with an average annual income increase of more than 2,000 yuan.

  E-commerce promotes poverty alleviation and poverty-stricken villages have ushered in a "butterfly change"

  In the Fuda Farmers’ Professional Cooperative in Xiahe Village, the reporter saw that the members were busy and prepared to send the online orders of carambola to all parts of the country. Letting carambola touch the "electricity" and enter the "net" is a new way for Xiahe Village to get rid of poverty.

  Xiahe Village did not forget to use the east wind of "internet plus" to promote poverty alleviation. Relying on the 10,000-mu carambola base, they established a rural Taobao operation center and established an e-commerce association at the same time. 19 cooperatives in the village signed contracts with e-commerce platforms, and also guided large producers and cooperatives to sign contracts with e-commerce platforms such as mobile APP, Taobao and JD.COM and Wechat business.

  Cai Jinsong told reporters that Xiahe Village has formed an e-commerce poverty-stricken system of "one store with multiple households and one store with one village", which has been paired with poor households through rural e-commerce service stations, cooperatives and e-commerce platforms to realize online and offline effective docking and share the value-added benefits of the e-commerce industrial chain. In March 2017, the "Yurun Planting Cooperative" was established by the Party branch of Xiahe Village, which brought all the poor households in the village into the cooperative and integrated into the most popular "easy financing" method. In just a few days, it helped the poor households to sell more than 10,000 kilograms of carambola, with sales reaching more than 50,000 yuan, which greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of poor households to grow and raise.

  In addition, Xiahe Village has also established an e-commerce accurate poverty alleviation team, and strengthened the training of e-commerce poverty alleviation managers. At the same time, it encouraged poor households to receive "mobile phone micro-shop" training, equipped with basic intelligent terminals, and launched "poverty alleviation online" with the help of background big data. "With the help of big data, we can know the supply and demand information in time, find out the production situation of poor households, solve the problem of unsalable products and accurately subsidize poverty alleviation funds to households and people in the later period." Cai Jinsong said.

  At present, through the online platform, the monthly sales volume of Xiahe carambola is above 10,000 boxes, which are mainly sold to domestic and foreign markets such as Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Shenyang, Fuzhou and Xiamen, and the price reaches 50 yuan per box.

  Today, Xiahe Village relies on the development of carambola industry to get rid of poverty, and it is welcoming its own spring.

  The perfect "butterfly change" in Xiahe Village is a microcosm of Zhangzhou’s efforts to get rid of poverty. Since the launch of the "Three-year Action to Promote Accurate Poverty Alleviation and Win the Fight against Poverty", Zhangzhou has achieved poverty alleviation by the end of 2018 through the implementation of "seven key projects" such as the development of characteristic industries, relocation and reconstruction of housing, education and training, medical insurance assistance, social security, perfect infrastructure, and "double weak villages". In addition, in June this year, three key poverty alleviation and development counties at the provincial level were also approved by the General Office of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee and the General Office of the Provincial Government, and Zhangzhou City has thus achieved global poverty alleviation.

Dealing with cultural differences.

  In recent years, more and more China students have gone abroad to study all over the world. Due to the differences in cultural concepts, students sometimes inevitably encounter cultural conflicts. It is undoubtedly a compulsory course for students to enhance mutual understanding and resolve conflicts caused by cultural conflicts.

  Dialectical view of differences 

  Wang Meng is really a junior and is currently studying in the University of Southern Denmark. Her life in the local area is smooth and she gets along well with the local people, but she still feels the cultural differences.

  This semester, Wang Mengzhen exchanged studies in Denmark, with few students from China around, so she often went out for dinner with foreign friends and got to know the local society more quickly. She told the author that in the process of communicating with foreign friends, some of their views were not very agreeable to her, and she would affirm the good views and have reservations about those that she did not agree with. "But I will listen to their logic completely." Wang Mengzhen said.

  Cai Yu, an exchange student at Barnard College of Columbia University, also shared her experiences. "We often regard modesty as a virtue." Cai Yu said, "But Barnard’s class made me realize that being too modest will make me miss many opportunities."

  Cai Yu told the author that studying abroad is very hard, there are a lot of materials to read and papers to write, and the pace of class is very fast. By feeling the atmosphere in the classroom and colliding with the views of local students, Cai Yu learned more about the local culture.

  "Academic seminars are dominated by students, and everyone is never humble. If you have opinions, you can say that the speech speed is very fast." Cai Yu began to slowly adjust her state, speak boldly and keep up with the rhythm of her classmates. I have also gained more opportunities for communication.

  Accommodate different cultures

  How to deal with cultural differences? Overseas students summed up their own methods.

  Wang Mengzhen believes that cultural differences are inevitable. "I didn’t conflict with the locals because of differences in ideas. When I have different understandings, I actively communicate with them, let them understand the cultural factors behind my point of view and strive for their understanding. " 

  Cai Yu believes that everyone should be respected. "I respect your right to speak, but I can disagree with you."

  Wang Mengzhen said that people who understand different views make themselves more tolerant and calm. "I have met all kinds of people and often reflected on myself. I have a better understanding of what kind of person I am and what kind of life I am most suitable for."

  When sharing her experience with American roommates, Cai Yu said: "Everyone is different, but we should respect this difference and seek common ground while reserving differences. For example, my roommate and I are both studying literature, and we also have common topics. We all like music very much, and we will care about each other and think of each other everywhere. When there are differences of opinion, we will stand in the cultural perspective of the other party and understand tolerance as much as possible. "

The 2021 "New Development and New Order" Macroeconomic Forum and Innovation Summit ended successfully.

On November 25th, the 2021 Macroeconomic Forum and Innovation Summit jointly organized by Economic Observer and Jingguan Media was launched in the cloud.

Focusing on the theme of "New Development, New Order", the forum invited policy researchers, economists and entrepreneurs to discuss and share, and jointly take the pulse of China’s economic trend and explore a new development path. On the same day, guests attending the 2021 Macroeconomic and Innovation Summit included: Gao Peiyong, vice president of China Academy of Social Sciences and member of the faculty; Chou Baoxing, academician of the International Eurasian Academy of Sciences, former vice minister of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and chairman of the China Urban Science Research Association; Chen Daofu, deputy director of the Financial Research Institute of the State Council Development Research Center; Bi Jiyao, vice president of China Macroeconomic Research Institute; and Yao Yang, president of the National Development Research Institute of Peking University.

This year is the first year of the 14 th Five-Year Plan, and it is facing the goal of the second century. In this context, China’s economy is moving forward steadily, and the road to high-quality development is more solid, which fully reflects the resilience of China’s economy and China’s enterprises. At the same time, the epidemic has not been effectively controlled worldwide, and the world economic recovery still faces many uncertainties.

Under such circumstances, China’s economy is under pressure. How to stabilize China’s economic recovery, keep the economy running in a reasonable range in the face of the future, and continue to promote green and low-carbon in the recovery to achieve high-quality development, which is an important issue that all sectors of society are most concerned about when we are about to bid farewell to 2021.

At the 2021 Macroeconomic Forum and Innovation Summit, experts and scholars gave the answer that innovation is driven by reform and development is driven by innovation, and thought that innovation and reform are the only way to solve the above problems. What people expect is that, while maintaining the necessary growth rate of China’s economy, monetary and fiscal policies will be more effectively coordinated, macro-policies will be more closely integrated with industrial development, and regional development and industrial layout will provide more open development space for enterprises, and finance will truly serve the entity and stimulate the vitality of generate, the main body of innovation.

Sharing five macroeconomic themes

Wen Zhao, executive editor-in-chief of Economic Observer, said in his speech at the forum: "China has set the’ double carbon target’ of carbon neutrality in peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and by 2060, which means the reconstruction of the energy system and a major change in production and lifestyle; For enterprises, this is a clear signal that opportunities are everywhere, and the key lies in whether enterprises have the ability to grasp them. "

As a professional financial media, Economic Observer chooses to hold a macroeconomic forum at the end of each year, hoping to build a platform for communication and exchange, and invite authoritative experts and scholars in the fields of economy, finance and industry to discuss the macro trend together with rationality and constructiveness.

Subsequently, the guests delivered keynote speeches one after another.

Gao Peiyong, vice president of China Academy of Social Sciences and member of the academic department, said in his keynote speech that if macroeconomic policies are to be extended to, integrated with and configured around micro-subjects, they should focus on and be based on market subjects. To promote economic and social development, we must base ourselves on the growth of market players and their development. Only by keeping the main players in the market can we keep jobs, jobs and people’s livelihood, thus keeping the basic disk of China’s economic development. At present, there are more than 150 million market players in China, and the role and position of market players have changed greatly. It is under such a background that macro-policy allocation has the driving force of deep integration with micro-foundation.

Chou Baoxing, an academician of the International Eurasian Academy of Sciences, former deputy minister of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and chairman of the China Urban Science Research Association, believes that the dual-carbon strategy actually needs to be promoted by double innovation, because more than 70% of the technologies and policies used in the future are waiting for all our entrepreneurs to create and innovate, and this is also an opportunity for countless large enterprises, new enterprises and high-efficiency enterprises to emerge; To achieve carbon neutrality in China, new investment will be increased, which will exceed 150 trillion yuan in any case, so 150 trillion yuan is much larger than GDP, which means that it is a second opportunity for wealth distribution. Most of these new wealth will be distributed between cities and new enterprises, because wealth is created and investment is invested by enterprises, which is a very good opportunity for wealth creation and distribution for the second time.

Chen Daofu, deputy director of the Financial Research Institute of the State Council Development Research Center, said that when China is talking about building the country through science and technology and how finance can better promote the development of science and technology, it should first promote the development of science and technology itself, so that the achievements of science and technology can be more quality, more pioneering and have potential production potential. Only on this basis can this part of the results be gradually recognized by the industry and presented in this realistic industry. At this time, finance can build a bridge between technology and industry, so that technology and industry can achieve good connectivity.

Bi Jiyao, vice president of China Macroeconomic Research Institute, gave a keynote speech on "The New Environment Faced by China’s Development during the 14th Five-Year Plan". During the 14th Five-Year Plan, China will enter a new stage of development, and its continued development has many advantages and conditions. The fundamentals of long-term economic improvement have not changed. However, at the same time, the problems of unbalanced development and insufficient development are still outstanding. It still needs hard work to maintain stable economic operation and promote high-quality development. First, pay more attention to expanding domestic demand; The second is to deepen the structural reform of the supply side; The third is to accelerate the improvement of independent innovation ability; The fourth is to develop and expand strategic emerging industries; The fifth is to deepen the structural reform of the financial supply side; The sixth is to expand high-level opening up.

Yao Yang, president of the National Development Research Institute of Peking University, predicted that in the next 10 to 30 years, the best investment destination in the world will still be China, not other countries. We should not be swayed by these short-term economic downturns, but should see the potential of China’s economic growth in the future. The potential growth of China’s economy itself is probably between 5.5% and 6%. If it can grow by 8.5% this year, it should be a very high growth rate. On average for two years, the growth rate is also around 5.5%.

Four thematic round-table dialogues

On the afternoon of November 25th, Guo Hongchao, deputy editor-in-chief of Economic Observer, said in his speech at the summit that 2021 is the first year of the 14th Five-Year Plan, and the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on the macro-economy is gradually weakening. China is accelerating the construction of a new development pattern, and opportunities and challenges coexist.

Do a good job of "pre-work" in investigation

Everything is established in advance, and it is abolished if it is not predicted. The same is true of investigation and research. If you are well prepared before the investigation, you will be handy and comfortable during the investigation; If you are unprepared in advance and cram for the Buddha’s feet temporarily, you will easily be led by the nose and fail to achieve the expected results. Therefore, party member cadres must carry out investigation and study.Do your homework, go with questions, do it with methods, play the first move, play the initiative, ensure that the research is aimed at deepening, and get twice the result with half the effort.

Work hard on the "topic" to achieve accurate targeting.With the investigation of the problem, we can know fairly well when investigating and know where to go and where to look. Before the investigation, we must focus on the major policies and phased key tasks of the party and the state, combine the local conditions, aim at the hot spots of social concern, the people’s urgent difficulties and worries, and the shortcomings and weaknesses of work, sort out the list of questions and demands in advance, and cut into the investigation in depth, so as to make the incision accurate, the topic deep and the point real. The topic can also be decomposed into several closely related and mutually supporting sub-topics, so as to make the research content full and thick, and avoid the phenomenon of poor coverage and poor support.

Work hard to know "there" and be familiar with it.It is of great significance for the success of the survey to find out the background in advance, prepare lessons well and fully understand the research object. To know the "other things", through radio and television, newspapers and magazines, online platforms, internal materials and other channels, we can understand the background information of the research items, including the basic situation, main characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, statistical data, etc., and find out the approximate "number of ways" to prevent the "tune" from missing the point and not being on a channel. To know "the other person", we should accurately grasp the characteristics of the research object through online inquiry, face-to-face inquiry and side understanding, and make a targeted survey of the situation around different industries, posts, cultural customs and age groups, so as to blend in quickly when meeting and create a good atmosphere for quickly entering the research situation, listening to the truth and checking the facts.

Make great efforts to seek the "law" and achieve the spirit of tricks.The method is the key to find out the actual effect. It is necessary to adjust measures to local conditions, vary from case to case, design and select methods in advance according to the differences of research objects, locations, tasks and requirements, and prepare a hard "toolbox" for use. Traditional research methods can be considered, such as listening to the situation, holding seminars, field visits, questionnaires, and squatting; We can also consider new ways such as online public opinion screening, big data analysis, "experiential" research, and entrusting professional institutions to extend research, enriching research carriers and innovating research forms; We can also comprehensively use the old and new methods to verify the research results and effectively improve the quality and efficiency of the research work. In addition, we can learn from the successful experience and practice of similar research, digest and absorb it, and use it flexibly to ensure that the research is more targeted and effective.

The public online shopping for 6 pure camellia oils found that they were all "adulterated"

Straight News

Deep and fierce investigation

Text/photo reporter Song Wangqun

Camellia oil, also known as camellia seed oil, is commonly called "Yuezi oil" by citizens. With the implementation of the "two-child" policy, camellia oil is becoming more and more popular. However, the reporter’s investigation found that the quality of camellia oil currently on sale in the market is mixed, and even some brands still have "adulteration" behavior. A citizen of Shenzhen recently bought six pure camellia oils and sent them to Shenzhen Institute of Metrology and Quality Inspection for inspection. The inspection results showed that none of the six pure camellia oils met the national standards. The person in charge of Shenzhen Consumers Association said that related products are suspected of false propaganda, and consumers can ask for ten times compensation.

Customer complaint: online shopping for camellia oil actually detected "adulteration"

Mr. Zheng is in charge of purchasing in a company in Shenzhen. "The Spring Festival is approaching. According to the company’s arrangement, he bought a batch of camellia oil through the Tmall flagship store of six brands of camellia oil and gave it to the company’s customers." Mr. Zheng said, "The six brands of camellia oil are all 5L specifications, and the price ranges from more than 200 yuan to more than 600 yuan per bottle. The sellers all claim that their products are pure camellia oil, and the quality grade is the first grade. You can buy them without adding any other edible oil ingredients."

"But some familiar customers told me that the camellia oil received was not pure enough and had no natural fragrance of camellia oil." Mr. Zheng said, "The camellia oil I purchased is purchased through Tmall flagship store, unless there is something wrong with the product itself." In order to find out, Mr. Zheng sent one of the camellia oils to a testing institution for testing.

"The test results surprised us. Other vegetable oils were detected, which did not meet the national standards. It was not pure camellia oil. Isn’t this adulteration?" Mr. Zheng said.

Recently, the reporter checked the Taobao Tmall purchase records and invoices of Mr. Zheng’s purchase of camellia oil, as well as the unopened camellia oil products. In the column of quality grade, all six products are marked as "first class", "international first class" or "squeezing first class", the product standard number is "GB11765", and the ingredients are "camellia seed oil".

According to the national standard GB11765 issued by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, all products marked with "Camellia oleifera seed oil" should meet the standard, which requires that "Camellia oleifera seed oil should not be mixed with other edible oils and non-edible oils, and should not be added with any flavors and fragrances".

On the afternoon of January 8, the reporter accompanied Mr. Zheng to send six kinds of camellia oil to Longhua experimental base of Shenzhen Institute of Metrology and Quality Inspection for inspection. On January 17th, the inspection report was released. The inspection report showed that none of the "Rapeseed Oil Purity Test" of six brands of camellia oil met the requirements of the first-class standard for crushing, and other vegetable oils existed in the measured values (see the above figure). In addition, two of the camellia oils are not up to standard in terms of refractive index, iodine value, oleic acid and linoleic acid.

Insiders: The cost per catty is about 80 yuan.

On January 22 nd and 23 rd, the reporter called six camellia oil manufacturers to verify the situation. Among them, the service calls of three manufacturers were not answered. The manufacturer of Jinx responded that all the products submitted by the company were up to standard, and said that the same batch of products submitted by Mr. Zheng had been sampled for inspection. A person in charge of X township factory who claimed to be Vice President Zhou said that the report submitted by consumers for inspection has no legal effect. The manufacturer of Green X responded to the reporter that the company sent tea oil for inspection many times, all of which met the national standards.

Zhang Gong, who has been engaged in the camellia oil industry for more than ten years, said that at present, the price of purchasing a kilo of camellia oil by the people is generally around 80 yuan, and the weight of a 5L bottle of camellia oil is 9-10 kilos. The most expensive camellia oil purchased by Mr. Zheng is more than 600 yuan, and the average price is only more than 60 yuan a kilo, which is far lower than the private purchase price.

Zhang Gong said that if the mixed ingredients are controlled within 10%, it is basically difficult to detect. If even the indexes such as refractive index, iodine value, oleic acid and linoleic acid are not up to standard, it can only show that more other edible oil ingredients are mixed.

Shenzhen Consumers Association: Related manufacturers are suspected of false propaganda.

On January 23rd, the reporter reported the situation to Shenzhen Municipal Market Supervision Administration and Shenzhen Consumers Association. According to the Shenzhen Municipal Market Supervision Administration, since it is an online shopping product, consumers should report it to the industrial and commercial administration department where the product trademark is located.

The Shenzhen Consumers Association said, "The product is advertised as 100% pure tea oil, but the result of the consumer’s inspection is that it is mixed with other edible oil, which is suspected of false propaganda. According to the rule of’ one fake and ten penalties’, consumers can ask for 10 times compensation, and the market supervision department will investigate it." The staff of Shenzhen Consumers Association said that the laws and regulations on online shopping supervision are still not perfect, and it is difficult for consumers to protect their rights. At present, Mr. Zheng can only complain to the industrial and commercial departments where the trademarks of the purchased products are located.

In order to promote the consistency evaluation, the General Administration announced the catalogue of generic reference preparations in batches from March 17, 2017, and began to publicize the draft of the catalogue of generic reference preparations on March 28, 2019. 

In the Catalogue of Reference Preparations for Chemical Generic Drugs (25th Batch) (Draft for Comment), the list of varieties that failed to pass the review began to be updated. By the end of the Catalogue of Reference Preparations for Chemical Generic Drugs (59th Batch) (Draft for Comment), 620 failed product specifications had been updated, and 93 were reviewed by the consistency evaluation expert committee again after receiving the objection application from the enterprise. The experts maintained their original conclusions and failed the second review.

The following figure shows that the historical batches of the exposure draft have not passed the review and reference publication:

16491657323461677  

The main reasons for not passing the review are as follows:

52031657323461885  

A has no reference preparation status.

According to the Procedure for Selection and Determination of Reference Preparations for Chemical Generic Drugs, the order of selecting reference preparations is: original research imported, original research not imported, original research localized and internationally recognized drugs of the same kind.

Of the 527 failed quality regulations, 280 were rejected because they did not have the status of reference preparations. Analysis of the reasons for not having the status of reference preparation can also be divided into the following situations:

87681657323462018  

1. Clearly do not recommend reference preparations.

The reference preparation is not recommended for the trial varieties that can BE exempted or simplified in human bioequivalence (BE) issued by the National Bureau. For example, Compound Polyethylene Glycol Electrolyte Powder (V), similar varieties have been clearly not recommended in the notice (No.136, 2018) issued by the National Bureau on the exemption or simplification of human bioequivalence (BE) test varieties. It has not passed the review.

2. There is no such dosage form in the original research.

Because the reference preparations to be declared are varieties with modified specifications, the original research did not have this specification and failed to pass the review, such as acarbose chewable tablets, pantoprazole sodium enteric-coated capsules, acetaminophen dry suspension, betamethasone sodium phosphate injection, etc.

3. Compared with the published reference preparation, it has no obvious advantage.

3.1 The concentration of the reference preparation to be applied for is the same as that of the published reference preparation, but the loading quantity is different.

We can find that the specification of 4.5354g/7.5ml of Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals was published in the 27th batch, and the specification of 9.0708g/15ml was published in the 28th batch.

4211657323462172  

In the Catalogue of Reference Preparations for Chemical Generic Drugs (Fifty-ninth Batch) (Draft for Comment), 1.20944g/2ml, 6.0472g/10ml, 18.1416g/30ml and 39.3068g/65ml of gadolinium butoxide injection of Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals Inc were rejected because they were different from the published reference.

3.2 The published reference preparations are prescription drugs listed in the United States, and it is not recommended to add OTC drugs as reference preparations.

Omeprazole sodium bicarbonate capsules are managed separately according to prescription drugs and OTC in the United States. The published reference preparations are prescription drugs listed in the United States, and it is not recommended to add OTC drugs as reference preparations.

3.3 Compared with published reference preparations, there is no clinical advantage.

Piperacillin sodium tazobactam sodium for injection by Dapeng Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. was rejected because the powder-liquid double-chamber bag was not widely used and the cost was high. The orally disintegrating tablet of montelukast sodium from MSD Co., Ltd. was not approved because the dosage form to be applied for was orally disintegrating tablet, which only provided a choice of dosage form for clinic, and had no clinical application advantage compared with other oral preparations on the market.

B lack of complete and sufficient safety and effectiveness data.

A total of 104 quality regulations failed due to the lack of complete and sufficient safety and effectiveness data, of which 22 were reviewed by the consistency evaluation expert Committee again after receiving the objection application from the enterprise, and the experts maintained the original conclusion and failed the second review.

In addition, Alfasigma Romania S.R.L’ s creatine phosphate sodium for injection is the original research drug listed in China, but this product has been included in the first batch of national key monitoring drugs list, and the relevant safety and effectiveness data are limited, so the review failed; Pidotimod oral solution of Polichem S.R.L was not approved due to insufficient evidence of clinical effectiveness according to the Notice of the General Administration on Starting Clinical Efficacy Test of Pidotimod Oral Liquid (No.31 [2018] of Food and Drug Administration); Alfasigma S.p.A’ s Levocarnitine Hydrochloride Enteric-coated Tablets was declared for import in the original research, and the application materials were not enough to support the effectiveness of this product for the applied indications.

The selection of reference preparation is the key in the process of generic drug research and development. If the selection is wrong, the project progress will be delayed, and the blood will be lost. By studying the reasons why the reference preparation failed the audit, we can learn a lot of experience in project risk assessment and product research, and clearly judge the value orientation of the country to generic drugs. When researching products, we should not only pay attention to foreign data, but also pay attention to the performance of drugs in China. Try to avoid the embarrassment that the application for reference preparation was rejected, and pay more attention to avoid the tragedy that the selected reference preparation was transferred out of the catalogue.
