People’s Daily Online WeChat WeChat official account reported on May 13 that "a group of 700 or 800 writers once used up the one-day limit of ten accounts and failed to pay the monthly salary."

Yang Le first came into contact with ghostwriting of papers in his senior year: those who seek ghostwriting are called "clients", those who write contemporary pens are called "writers’ teachers", those who pull business are called "customer service", and those who convey writing requirements are called "supervisors" … An order writer can earn several hundred to several thousand yuan, and the intermediary can double the profit from it, so the quality of papers will follow, and it is common for "clients" to be blacked out after paying money.

After three years in the business, Yang Le found that there is a complete "industrial chain" behind every paper transaction.

Tomorrow’s defense, the "store" is empty.

"I will reply tomorrow. How can I answer such a paper?"

Yi Qi, who graduated from junior college this year, found a graduation thesis writing service through Taobao. As a result, the structure of the thesis obtained was chaotic, and the duplicate checking rate was much higher than the defense requirements. Yi Qi asked for revision, but "customer service" blacked him out.

"Only a few days away from the defense, the paper hasn’t landed yet, and I thought of looking for a ghostwriter. There are many ghostwriting advertisements on the Internet. "

On April 13th, Yi Qi searched for "writing papers" in Taobao, and the page showed no relevant results. He also searched for "writing articles" and found a shop called "985 Shuobo Wenbi".

"Can you write a paper?" Yiqi left a message for the store.

The other party replied: "Entity company, go online, 100 writers, special person … If necessary, add WeChat or QQ."

Yiqi added the WeChat provided by the store, and the other party claimed to be the company’s customer service, and would put forward pricing according to Yiqi’s requirements on the number of words in the paper and the duplicate checking rate.

"Why not communicate on Taobao?" Yi Qi said that if you don’t trade in Taobao, you can’t believe it easily.

The customer service said, "I think you may not know the rules. We do this professionally, not to say that we are not trading in Taobao, but it is more convenient to contact WeChat. "

Then Yi Qi received a screenshot with more than a dozen WeChat groups related to the paper.

Yi Qi was skeptical and put forward the demand: a specialized paper of 10,000 words, with a repetition rate below 30%, and a first draft on the 15th.

"800 yuan, 15th to the first draft, package, add money to help do the defense PPT. Taobao transaction needs to be paid in one lump sum, and WeChat transfer can pay 400 deposit first, and then pay the final payment after the paper arrives. " The customer service gave the price.

Considering the risk of "running away from the money" and possibly modifying it, Yiqi chose to pay the deposit by WeChat.

After paying the money, the customer service pulled a group, including a "supervisor" and a "writer teacher". "The customer service is responsible for receiving and collecting money, the supervisor is responsible for coordinating customers and writers, and writers write and modify papers as required." According to Yi Qi’s memory, the other party has a clear division of labor.

On April 15th, Yi Qi received the first draft of the paper after paying the final payment. After the click, "the whole person is not good": "None of the requirements put forward have been met. The structure and typesetting of the article are in a mess, and the repetition rate is 40% to 50%. It is simply copied and pieced together, and it is impossible to read it. "

Yi Qi immediately raised a question in the group, and the writer said that it could be revised. "The check rate is so high, how to change it?" Yiqi found the previous customer service theory and asked for a refund, which was blacked out by the other party. The "supervisor" said in the group: "If you make trouble again, the manuscript will quit."

On the 17th, Yi Qi received the revised version, but it was still "a long story", so she had to change it herself. On the 18th, she took part in the defense.

Yiqi found Taobao customer service complaint and found that the store was gone. The customer service replied that the store was gone and could not complain. He remembers that during the communication, he asked the customer service for the link of their store through WeChat. The other party sent another store at that time, not the one that Yiqi first consulted.

"It’s the same group, but there are several Taobao shops and customer service WeChat. In this way, my first Taobao consultation record can’t be used to complain about another one. " Yi Qi suspects that the other party evades complaints and reports in this way.

"The paper still needs to be written by yourself." On April 18th, Yi Qi failed in the first defense. "Later, I did it myself, and the second defense passed."

From part-time job to full-time job

"International Economy and Trade, self-made topic, 8,000 words, 320 yuan." One day in April, a QQ group message popped up in Yang Le’s mobile phone.

In the paper writing group "Geili Group", Yang Le used to be a well-known "writer teacher". Even if he didn’t take orders for more than a year, the administrator occasionally asked him privately if he would take the job.

"The first time I came into contact with writing papers was in my senior year. Some people sent papers to write part-time jobs in the student group." Yang Le contacted the advertiser and was drawn into the group of writing papers.

"People who have a’ studio’ in the group are actually intermediaries. They will give notes to each writer about the writing direction they are good at, and then send the requirements and prices of the order to the group. The writer contacts the intermediary to take orders according to his own situation. "

Yang Le recalled that ghostwriting content generally includes course assignments, "small bills" for small papers and "big bills" for graduation papers, and the price depends on the number of words and the difficulty of operation. Take graduation thesis as an example. Generally, the fees paid to writers are 35-60 yuan/thousand words for undergraduate students, 150-200 yuan/thousand words for master students and 350 yuan/thousand words for doctor students. Orders for English and minority languages are more expensive.

"Generally, April to June and September to December are the peak seasons." Yang Le told reporters, "Near graduation and the end of the semester, the powerful writers in the group can earn tens of thousands of dollars a month."

During the period when Yang Le worked part-time as a ghostwriter, he could earn several thousand yuan a month. What impressed him the most was that "Geili Group" announced that the salary payment of some writers in that month might be delayed, because the one-day transfer quota of ten accounts was used up that day, and the salary had not been paid.

"If this is the case, the number of orders received in the month can be imagined."

As for the quality of papers, Yang Le said that most of the papers written by others are patchwork. "I know a writer. Once a client was dissatisfied with the first draft and asked him to revise it. He directly took the money and blacked it out. There are quite a few people who do this. Many writers have a limited level, and the intermediary will basically not verify the true and false academic qualifications. " He recalled that his degree in "Geili Group" was a master’s degree in returnees, but it was actually a domestic undergraduate degree.

Thesis ghostwriting is a part-time job for Yang Le, and some people have developed it into a full-time job.

"I have a classmate who took orders in the group at first, and later I met more customers and took orders directly.

Yang Le heard that the classmate didn’t find another job after graduation, and copied the model of "geili group" according to the gourd painting gourd ladle: he found three or four people as customer service, opened a shop on Taobao to take orders, and recruited writers among various student groups.

Intermediaries reap the benefits of fishermen.

"The biggest hidden rule in this line is that the intermediary presses the manuscript fee and takes advantage of the fisherman."

A client once told Yang Le that 320 yuan was paid to write a paper for him, and after that order was completed, the intermediary gave it to 160 yuan, Yang Le. "The price paid by the customer to the intermediary is generally 1.5 to 2 times that of the writer."

Under normal circumstances, the writer can’t contact the customer directly, and the requirements and amendments of the paper must be conveyed through the intermediary.

"This is to avoid private transactions between writers and customers." Yang Le introduced that if a writer violates the rules, the intermediary will publicize the illegal contents and punishment measures in the group, generally withholding the salary of the month, and immediately stop cooperation if it is serious.

The screenshot of the announcement of "Geili Group" provided by Yang Le shows: "Now a malicious writer is notified: QQ number # #, who left without modifying the customer after grabbing a large number of orders last year. This year, he changed his number and joined the group to repeat his old tricks. The despicable behavior disrupted the writer market and forwarded this information to major writing groups to avoid being deceived again."

In addition to avoiding private transactions of writers and maximizing the price difference, ensuring the number of writers is also one of the important conditions for intermediary profit.

Yang Le recalled that at most, he added more than a dozen papers to write for him, and the "Geili Group" was the only one left at present. The main reason is that this group is large in scale and has many orders.

"The number of writers in the group is generally kept at around seven or eight hundred, and there are more than a thousand people. The group owner and several administrators are intermediaries, others are writers, and administrators will regularly clean up people who don’t take orders for a long time. "

A group announcement of "Geili Group" shows that 20 yuan is rewarded for introducing undergraduate thesis writers into the group and 50 yuan is rewarded for introducing master thesis writers into the group. For writers who are more active and highly cooperative in the group, the intermediary will also develop them into regular employees.

"If you don’t want to write, you can come to work in the company." An administrator once sent an invitation to Yang Le: The company has offices in Liaoning and Shanghai, and the salary consists of basic salary and commission. The more orders, the higher the salary.

Expert: if the circumstances are serious, it is recommended to be sentenced.

"Avoid keywords, hide in e-commerce platforms, and induce transactions on social platforms." Netizens pointed out that this is the consistent routine of the current paper writing business.

On May 7, People’s Daily reporter searched some social and e-commerce platforms and found that with "writing papers" as the key word, relevant users could be found on WeChat and Zhihu; Searching for "paper generation" in Taobao, QQ and Weibo shows no results, but searching for "paper generation" can find related "goods" or users.

Taking Taobao as an example, a series of products appeared in the reporter’s search for "paper generation". Most of the product introductions include papers, blogs, articles, etc., and the names of shops are mostly "XXX Studio" and "XXX Cultural Society".

The reporter contacted a shop named "Sincere Senior School Students" through a product with a price tag of 200 yuan, and the text introduction was "Writing for High-end Masters and PhDs". He left a message saying that he wanted to consult an undergraduate thesis, and the other party replied "If you ask this, you will definitely do it, classmate". The reporter asked the reason, and the other party asked: "Do you think this is aboveboard? If you want to know more about it, you can chat on Q or WeChat or Taobao, otherwise it will be sealed. "

"Major e-commerce and social platforms should actively supervise illegal transactions, but it is not enough to rely on network shielding to cut off the industrial chain written by papers." Yin Bo, an associate professor at the Institute of Criminal Law Science of Beijing Normal University, pointed out.

In fact, the current supervision of writing papers in China is not random. In December 2015, China Association for Science and Technology and other seven departments jointly issued "Five Prohibitions for Publishing Academic Papers", resolutely resisting academic misconduct such as "third party" writing, voting and revising.

In July 2018, the Ministry of Education issued the "Notice on Strictly Investigating and Punishing the Sale and Writing of Dissertations in Colleges and Universities", demanding that the sale and writing of dissertations in colleges and universities be severely investigated.

In October 2019, 20 departments, including the Ministry of Science and Technology, jointly issued the Rules for the Investigation and Handling of Scientific Research Integrity Cases (Trial), which clearly defined the investigation process and handling measures of cases, and buying, selling and writing papers on behalf of others were included in the act of scientific research dishonesty.

Why is it still difficult to break the industrial chain of writing papers?

Jia Ting, the chief lawyer of Beijing Tingsheng Law Firm, believes that the reasons for the formation of the industrial chain are comprehensive: some institutions and industries only discuss papers in the assessment of talent training; The demand side of the paper is unwilling to study hard and thinks that money is everything, which leads to speculative psychology; Writers and intermediaries are mercenary and try their best to attract business.

Yinbo further pointed out that writing on behalf of a paper roughly includes three types of subjects: the demand side of the paper; Intermediaries providing services; The writer of the paper. Among them, intermediary agencies are the most harmful, and there is a gap in supervision, so it is more urgent to regulate them.

"At present, most of the constraints on writing papers rely on the self-discipline norms of universities and scientific research institutions and related administrative laws and regulations. These often belong to the internal norms of the academic community, and there is a lack of sufficient regulatory means for external operators, especially third-party intermediaries. " Inbo pointed out.

"Serious organization of buying and selling, writing papers on behalf of others can be considered as imprisonment." Both Yin Bo and Jia Ting believe that we can refer to the provisions of the Criminal Law on the crime of cheating in organizing exams, and include organizing and helping the sale of papers and writing on behalf of others into the criminal law norms, thus playing a deterrent role for all kinds of subjects involved.

A few days ago, the the State Council executive meeting deployed measures to increase the basic living security of the people in need, so as to secure the bottom line of people’s livelihood.

At the regular briefing on the State Council policy held by the State Council Office on August 26th, Yang Yinkai, deputy secretary general of the National Development and Reform Commission, introduced that from September this year to March next year, the linkage mechanism of price subsidies will be adjusted in stages, and the policy of "expanding the scope of protection and lowering the starting conditions" will be implemented, so as to increase the price subsidies for the needy people and effectively grasp the bottom line of people’s livelihood. It is estimated that the policy will cover 67 million people after the expansion.

One-time living allowance will be issued to people with difficulties such as the minimum living allowance, which will be fully completed by the end of August.

Since the beginning of this year, the bottom-up safeguard measures have been continuously improved, and the assistance to the people in need has also increased. By the end of June this year, 40.62 million people had received assistance from urban and rural residents, including 7 million urban residents and 33.62 million rural residents. The national urban minimum living standard is 734 yuan per person per month and the rural minimum living standard is 554 yuan per person per month; In the first half of this year, the accumulated expenditure on subsistence allowances was 92.62 billion yuan.

In order to implement the requirements of "expanding the minimum living allowance and increasing efficiency", the civil affairs department has continuously improved the minimum living allowance system. Liu Xitang, director of the Social Assistance Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, said that seriously ill and severely disabled people in marginal families have been included in the subsistence allowance alone, forming a combination of household insurance and personal insurance, and the system has more capacity; Encourage all localities to decentralize the examination and confirmation authority of subsistence allowances from the past counties to streets and towns to improve the efficiency of examination and verification; In addition, for low-income families whose per capita income exceeds the local minimum living standard after employment, a gradual retirement period of six months to one year will be given.

The temporary assistance system is mainly aimed at solving the sudden, urgent and temporary basic living difficulties encountered by urban and rural people. Since the beginning of this year, affected by epidemic and disaster, the number of people in need has increased. A few days ago, the the State Council executive meeting requested that the one-time living allowance issued to the needy people such as the minimum living allowance should be paid in place as soon as possible.

Residents, including migrant workers, who are unable to return to work due to the epidemic, have no income for three consecutive months, and are not included in unemployment insurance, can apply for a one-time temporary relief fund at their place of residence or domicile. Liu Xitang said that the work is progressing smoothly. Seventeen provinces in the country have all paid out, and all localities have issued an additional subsidy of 8.08 billion yuan for 40.18 million low-income recipients and extremely poor people, accounting for 90% of the total number of people in need. "It is expected that the work will be fully completed by the end of August, and the total amount of funds distributed is expected to be close to 10 billion yuan."

This year, the central government allocated 154.68 billion yuan to help the needy, an increase of 7.06 billion yuan over last year, and the local budget also increased investment accordingly. In the first half of the year, the national financial expenditure totaled more than 120 billion yuan, up 7% year-on-year.

Liu Xitang said, "Social assistance funds such as subsistence allowances are the focus of people’s livelihood security, and they are also the focus of financial support. It is no problem to implement special fund management and timely and fully distribute social assistance funds such as subsistence allowances."

The linkage mechanism of price compensation expands the scope of protection and reduces the starting conditions, which is expected to benefit about 9 million more people.

From January to July this year, China’s consumer price index (CPI) rose by 1.8% year-on-year, and rose by 2.7% year-on-year in July. Yang Yinkai said that due to factors such as imported inflationary pressure and seasonal increase in pork prices, the domestic price level may be slightly higher than that of the previous months in the latter months of this year to the first quarter of next year, which is lower than that of cardinal utility in the same period last year.

In order to alleviate the impact of rising prices on the basic livelihood of people in need, the linkage mechanism of price subsidies will be adjusted in stages from September this year to March next year.

After the adjustment, the scope of protection has been expanded. The current linkage mechanism of price compensation covers seven groups, including urban and rural minimum living allowances, destitute people, people receiving unemployment insurance benefits, special care recipients enjoying regular state pension subsidies, orphans, children who are actually left unattended and children infected with HIV, totaling about 58 million people.

On the basis of the above-mentioned seven groups, this time, two groups, namely, people receiving unemployment benefits and marginal population with minimum living allowance, will be added into the scope of protection of the linkage mechanism of price compensation. After expanding the scope of protection, it is expected to benefit about 9 million more people and cover about 67 million people in need. Conditional places can further expand the scope of protection.

Wan Jinsong, director of the Price Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, introduced that the people receiving unemployment benefits and the marginal population with low living allowances will be included in the scope of protection in stages, mainly considering that the people receiving unemployment benefits are unemployed, their income sources are unstable, and their lives are facing certain difficulties; Although the income of the marginal population is slightly higher than the minimum living standard, the living standard is generally low.

After adjustment, the starting conditions are reduced. The monthly year-on-year increase of CPI in the starting conditions of the price subsidy linkage mechanism was reduced from 3.5% to 3.0% in stages, while other starting conditions such as issuing price subsidies when the food price in CPI rose to 6% year-on-year, were kept unchanged, and the price subsidy linkage mechanism was started when any conditions were met.

"Reducing the start-up conditions is mainly due to the impact of epidemic situation and disasters. The income growth of people in need faces more difficulties, and the feeling of rising prices may be more obvious." Wan Jinsong said that after lowering the starting conditions, it is expected that the number of months and the starting area of the price subsidy linkage mechanism will increase significantly, which means that more people in need can receive price subsidies.

All localities will grant temporary price subsidies of about 20 billion yuan to people in need.

According to statistics, since 2020, local governments have distributed temporary price subsidies of about 31.5 billion yuan, benefiting 530 million people in need.

After adjusting the linkage mechanism of price subsidies in stages, it is estimated that from September this year to March next year, all localities will provide temporary price subsidies of about 20 billion yuan to the needy, of which about 7 billion yuan will be increased due to expanding the scope of protection and lowering the starting conditions.

Where does the additional funds come from? According to reports, the additional funds for those who receive unemployment insurance benefits and unemployment subsidies are paid from the unemployment insurance fund; The central government will provide subsidies to other needy people in different regions, including 30% in the eastern region, 60% in the central region and 80% in the western region.

"Temporary price subsidies are issued by the local authorities first and settled by the central government." Wan Jinsong said, in the current situation that governments at all levels are living a "tight life", the state still decided to adjust the linkage mechanism of price subsidies in stages and increase the price subsidies for the needy people, which fully demonstrated that the CPC Central Committee and the State Council always cared about and cared about the needy people, and always placed the protection of their basic livelihood in a prominent position.

Yang Yinkai said that the National Development and Reform Commission will work with relevant departments to strengthen work guidance, ensure that all the work of price subsidies is carried out in an orderly manner, and ensure that policy deployment can be fully implemented. (Reporter Lu Yanan)

Recently, with the overall promotion of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, the production and living order has been accelerated, the income growth rate of the national residents has maintained a rebound, and the consumer market has continued to rise steadily. Analysts believe that the strong resilience of China’s consumption has become an important ballast stone for China’s economy to resist the wind and waves in the first half of the year. In the second half of the year, the continuous efforts of policies such as expanding domestic demand, helping enterprises to bail out difficulties and stabilizing employment are expected to promote further compensation and recovery of consumption, thus adding more impetus to promoting the "big cycle" of domestic economy and the "double cycle" of domestic and international.

Income recovery and demand recovery

According to the latest data, in June, the total retail sales of consumer goods nationwide was 3.35 trillion yuan, down 1.8% year-on-year, and the decline narrowed for four consecutive months, with a cumulative decrease of 18.7 percentage points. From January to June, the total retail sales of social consumer goods was 17.23 trillion yuan, down 11.4% year-on-year, and the decline was 7.6 percentage points narrower than that in the first quarter.

"In the first half of the year, all localities adhered to the orientation of people’s livelihood, issued various consumer vouchers, developed the’ night economy’ through the integration of literature and tourism, helped invigorate the’ small store economy’, expanded consumption according to local conditions and took various measures to vigorously promote the recovery of household consumption. In the first half of the year, the decline in per capita consumption expenditure of the national residents narrowed significantly, with the nominal decline and the actual decline narrowing by 2.3 and 3.2 percentage points respectively compared with the first quarter. Residents’ daily necessities such as rice, flour, grain and oil, vegetables, meat, poultry and eggs were fully guaranteed, and residents’ home meals increased. In the first half of the year, the per capita expenditure on food, tobacco and alcohol increased by 5.0%, 2.9 percentage points faster than that in the first quarter. " Fang Xiaodan, director of the Household Survey Office of the National Bureau of Statistics, said.

It is worth noting that the rising growth rate of national residents’ income is inseparable from the gradual recovery of residents’ consumption level. The data shows that in the first half of the year, the per capita disposable income of the national residents was 15,666 yuan, a nominal increase of 2.4% over the same period of last year, and the nominal growth rate was 1.6 percentage points higher than that in the first quarter. After deducting the price factor, the actual decline was 2.6 percentage points narrower than that in the first quarter. At the same time, in the first half of the year, the per capita wage income of the national residents was 9010 yuan, an increase of 2.5%, 1.3 percentage points faster than that in the first quarter, and the per capita disposable income of the national residents increased by 1.4 percentage points.

Fang Xiaodan said that in terms of wage income, the resumption of work and production in various places has been solidly promoted, the vitality of economic and social development has recovered, and the economic fundamentals have laid the foundation for wage income growth; In operational income, the phased tax reduction and fee reduction, rent reduction and interest rate reduction, inclusive finance and other policy support have effectively reduced the production and operation costs of self-employed households and small and micro enterprises, and their operating conditions have improved compared with the first quarter.

There are many highlights in online consumption.

In the first half of this year, "offline limited online replenishment" became an important feature in the consumer field.

According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, under the prevention and control of the normalized epidemic situation, new consumption formats and new modes such as online shopping, online entertainment and online classroom are growing against the trend. For example, in the first half of the year, the number of people buying goods or services through the Internet generally increased, and the per capita postage expenditure increased by 10.8%. For another example, in order to meet the needs of home office study, the per capita spending on home desktop computers and notebook computers increased by 19.4% and 79.6% respectively in the first half of the year.

According to the Report on Economic War and Epidemic in 2020 yards jointly released by Tsinghua University China Economic and Social Research Center and Tencent Social Research Center, in the economic recovery, leisure, entertainment, restaurants, hotels and transportation rebounded most significantly, and the number of WeChat transactions increased by 7-10 times. In the last week of April, the average daily commercial transaction volume of WeChat payment has recovered to the level of the end of 2019. The report believes that the innovation of online mode under the WeChat ecosystem will further promote the upgrading of people’s lifestyles, and the depth and breadth of lifestyle online will enter a new stage, and scene, intelligence and personalization will become the development trend of lifestyle change.

Fu Yifu, a senior researcher at Suning Financial Research Institute, analyzed that in the first quarter, affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, the all-round rise of online consumption was the biggest highlight. In the second quarter, as the domestic epidemic prevention and control situation continued to improve, all walks of life resumed production and markets steadily, and the intensity of new kinetic energy for online consumption did not decrease. At the same time, offline consumption scenes such as scenic spots, restaurants and hotels also returned to the public’s field of vision, and many consumers’ consumer demand that was forced to postpone during the epidemic prevention and control period began to restart.

Zhao Ping, director of the International Trade Research Department of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, believes that the epidemic has further enhanced consumers’ online consumption habits, and the growth rate and proportion of online consumption have continued to increase, which has become the biggest highlight of consumption growth in the first half of the year. At the same time, online consumption has also spawned new consumption patterns such as community e-commerce, social e-commerce, community e-commerce and live delivery, thus effectively releasing the potential of online consumption.

Tamp the economic pressure resistance.

Weigh, a researcher at the Institute of World Economics of Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out in an interview with this reporter that both the "six stability" work and the "six guarantees" task will ultimately be supported by strong consumption power. Since the beginning of this year, in the face of the great test brought by the COVID-19 epidemic, China has scientifically handled the relationship between the prevention and control of normalized epidemic and economic and social development, especially by adjusting the consumption pattern in time and effectively meeting the rigid consumption demand, thus achieving the maximum risk hedging and economic stability.

"In the process of gradually forming a new development pattern with domestic big circulation as the main body and domestic and international double circulation promoting each other, consumption is an important connection point of domestic and foreign market players and plays a very important role. Judging from the actual situation in the first half of the year, the rebound of consumer demand in China has not only become an important supporting force for China’s economy to resist all kinds of risks, but also injected strong confidence into the world economy. In the future, the role of consumption will be further highlighted. " Weighing theory.

In the eyes of many analysts, consumption is a clear manifestation of China’s economic resistance to pressure in the first half of the year. Yu Hong, a senior researcher at the Institute of East Asian Studies at the National University of Singapore, believes that China has a huge domestic market and a vibrant regional economy. In addition, the government has launched targeted fiscal, taxation and financial measures to support enterprises, which plays an important role in restoring economic growth and shows the resilience and potential of China’s economy.

Xing Ziqiang, chief economist of Morgan Stanley China, said that compared with developed countries, China’s consumption structure is currently dominated by physical consumption. In the future, as residents gradually pursue high-quality life, their consumption focus will shift from meeting basic needs to increasing life experience, and their consumption structure will also shift to service consumption. Xing Ziqiang predicts that consumption will gradually recover in the second half of this year and become the mainstay of economic growth next year, driving economic growth back to its potential level.

　　CCTV News:On the afternoon of December 13th, the State Council Joint Defense and Control Mechanism held a press conference. A reporter asked, some elderly people wanted to be vaccinated before, but they were assessed as inconsistent due to basic diseases and other reasons. Does this mean that they have not been vaccinated against COVID-19?

　　Wang Huaqing, chief expert of immunization program of China CDC, responded that if there is a serious allergic reaction after vaccination, this kind of vaccine can’t be vaccinated again in the future, and most other situations belong to a slow vaccination scenario. In the early stage, because of the basic diseases, we assessed that it was impossible to vaccinate, and most of this situation belonged to delayed inoculation.

　　He said that if this elderly person has a basic disease, he is in the early stage of attack, he is in a stable stage after a period of treatment, or he can’t be vaccinated because of special treatment. When the special treatment is over, these people can consider vaccination, especially in the current situation where the epidemic intensity is relatively large and there are many sources of infection, these people can be vaccinated again after re-evaluation and permission. The elderly should be well protected before they are vaccinated, and this kind of protection is also needed in the later period. If he enters the stable period of the disease and after the special treatment, it is recommended to vaccinate as soon as possible if he meets the conditions.

"Chengdu decided to start the yellow warning of ozone heavy pollution weather at 0: 00 on March 6, 2023 …" On March 5, the day before the warning started, Chengdu issued the warning information of heavy pollution weather. By taking emergency control measures, Chengdu regained an excellent day-March 6, the air quality was good. Accurate and efficient early warning relies on the ecological environment monitoring network.

At present, around water, gas, soil, ecology, pollution sources and other factors, Sichuan has built more than 28,000 monitoring points, achieving full coverage of monitoring points in cities, counties, cities and major tributaries, with basically complete elements and more "hearing and seeing" in ecological environment monitoring.

Four transformations

● The transition from manual to automatic.

The number of automatic stations in our province has increased from 296 to 2,634, an increase of nearly 8 times compared with 2015, basically achieving full coverage of urban environmental air and surface water quality automatic stations in cities and counties of the province.

● Change from extensive to precise.

In terms of ambient air quality, county-level cities have monitored three indicators every month for five days, four times a day and six indicators every time at the beginning of the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan.

In terms of water environmental quality, it has been monitored once a month from the beginning of the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan to six times a day now, and 109 items of water quality in drinking water sources have been fully monitored and analyzed.

In the aspect of coordination of measurement and management, high-tech means such as radar rover and unmanned aerial vehicle are used to carry out mobile navigation of pollutants, accurately draw "pollution map trajectory" and quickly and accurately lock pollution sources.

● Transition from decentralized closure to integrated linkage.

Eco-environmental departments and meteorological departments should cooperate with each other, establish a data sharing mechanism for eco-environmental monitoring, and gradually realize the effective integration, interconnection and mutual sharing of data on environmental quality, pollution sources and ecological quality monitoring, so as to evaluate the eco-environmental quality more objectively and predict the development trend more accurately.

● Change from status quo monitoring to comprehensive prediction and early warning.

At the beginning of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", our province did not have the ability to forecast water quality. After five years of construction, it can now forecast the fine cross-section of key river basins in the next three days and the trend water quality forecast in the next seven days.

How to monitor? Build a network to achieve full coverage of monitoring points in cities, counties, cities and major tributaries.

In the Key Laboratory of Atmospheric Research of Super Station on the sixth floor of Chengdu Research Institute of Environmental Protection, a large number of monitoring data such as inorganic elements, carbon components and VOCs are displayed here on a big screen. These monitoring data come from around-the-clock monitoring instruments and high-performance computers that operate continuously in the laboratory.

"This is the atmospheric particulate matter and photochemical sub-station, which is what our major usually calls a super station." Rowena, an engineer from Chengdu Academy of Environmental Sciences, told the reporter. Following Rowena to the roof of the laboratory, the reporter saw the sampling tube of the monitoring instrument. Rowena introduced that the sampling tube will sample the air like a needle, and then deliver it to the monitoring instrument for analysis after successful sampling. "These sampling and monitoring equipment are open all year round, which not only realizes real-time monitoring of 6 parameters of ambient air, but also realizes monitoring and analysis of more than 150 air pollutant indicators including volatile organic compounds." Rowena said.

In the laboratory, the reporter found that many monitoring indicators were recorded in detail by time or in the form of curves or images. What help do these images and curves have to air pollution prevention and control?

Lei Yi, deputy director of the Department of Ecology and Environment, gave the answer: these curves and images with different colors actually hide various "signs" of air pollution changes, and the causes of air pollution can be interpreted from them, which is also the difference between super stations and conventional automatic monitoring stations. According to Lei Yi, the super station can capture more and smaller pollution factors, including more than 150 indicators. By "blood test" for the atmosphere, the "cause" of air pollution can be clearly identified, so as to "prescribe the right medicine" and achieve refined control.

Without the strong support of monitoring data, the "foundation" of the battle against pollution will be unstable, and the super station is only a microcosm of the construction of Sichuan ecological environment monitoring network. The reporter learned that around water, gas, soil, ecology, pollution sources and other factors, Sichuan has built more than 28,000 monitoring points. Among them, there are nearly 25,000 environmental quality monitoring points, more than 100 ecological quality monitoring points and more than 3,000 pollution source monitoring points. Basically completed the three-year goal and task of the province’s ecological environment monitoring network construction, and achieved full coverage of monitoring points in cities, counties, cities and major tributaries, with basically complete elements.

What’s the effect? Four changes to make ecological environment monitoring smarter and more efficient.

The construction of ecological environment monitoring network makes ecological environment monitoring more intelligent and efficient.

"The first is the transition from manual to automatic." According to the relevant person in charge of the Monitoring Department of the Department of Ecology and Environment, after years of construction, the number of automatic stations in our province has increased from 296 to 2,634, an increase of nearly 8 times compared with 2015, basically achieving full coverage of urban environmental air and surface water quality automatic stations in cities and counties of the province. Taking pollution source monitoring as an example, the first and second batches of online monitoring and control systems for pollution sources were piloted in 11 cities to achieve a breakthrough in the new monitoring method of "electricity consumption monitoring". "By remotely querying the electricity consumption of enterprises, we can know whether the pollution control facilities of enterprises are operating normally, and the monitoring tentacles are further extended." The person in charge said.

Realize the transformation from extensive to accurate. "At present, the environmental monitoring method has changed from the previous situation of extensive, low frequency, few indicators and single means." According to the above-mentioned person in charge, in terms of ambient air quality, county-level cities have monitored three indicators for five days a month, four times a day and each time at the beginning of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", and now they have monitored once an hour, monitoring six indicators each time; In terms of water environmental quality, from monitoring once a month at the beginning of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" to monitoring six times a day now, 109 items of water quality in drinking water sources have been fully monitored and analyzed, so that ordinary people can drink clean water and feel at ease; In the aspect of coordination of measurement and management, high-tech means such as radar rover and unmanned aerial vehicle are also used to carry out mobile navigation of pollutants, accurately draw "pollution map trajectory", quickly and accurately lock pollution sources, and make environmental law enforcement targeted.

Realize the transformation from decentralized closure to integrated linkage. The reporter learned that at present, the ecological and environmental departments and meteorological departments have achieved synergy and linkage, established a data sharing mechanism for ecological environment monitoring, and gradually realized effective integration, interconnection and mutual sharing of data such as environmental quality, pollution sources and ecological quality monitoring, so as to evaluate the ecological environment quality more objectively and predict the development trend more accurately. In 2022 alone, the eco-environmental department held 23 consultations with the meteorological department and issued 15 warnings of heavy pollution.

The transition from current situation monitoring to comprehensive prediction and early warning. According to the relevant person in charge of the Monitoring Department of the Department of Ecology and Environment, at the beginning of the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan, our province did not have the ability to forecast water quality. After five years of construction, it is now possible to forecast the refinement of key river basin sections in the next three days and the trend water quality forecast in the next seven days. "It can effectively prevent and control water pollution emergencies and minimize possible losses." The person in charge said. (Reporter Tian Chengchen)

Seven enterprises were selected into the list of provincial benchmark enterprises for energy saving and carbon reduction in 2022.

On March 23, the Ministry of Economy and Information Technology announced the list of provincial-level benchmark enterprises for energy saving and carbon reduction in 2022, and seven enterprises from cement, electrolytic aluminum, chemical industry, steel, ceramics and other industries were selected.

The relevant person in charge of the Department of Economics and Information Technology said that the above industries are high energy-consuming industries, and the energy efficiency level of the selected benchmark enterprises is better than the industry level by increasing energy conservation and carbon reduction in the industrial field. Taking Bazhong CONCH Co., Ltd. as an example, the company has spared no effort in environmental protection investment, persistently treating the source, reducing emissions, reducing consumption, suppressing dust, reducing noise and increasing green, and actively trying the application of new materials, new processes and new technologies in traditional fields, which has changed the production face of the traditional cement industry of "it’s cloudy in sunny days and muddy in rainy days".

Sichuan has set a goal that by 2025, the production capacity of key industries in the industrial sector will reach the benchmark level by more than 30%. The relevant person in charge of the Department of Economic and Information Technology said that relying on benchmarking activities, cities (states) should benchmark advanced practices and experiences, and guide enterprises in key areas to carry out energy-saving and carbon-reducing technological transformation in a scientific and orderly manner and promote energy efficiency. All benchmark enterprises for energy conservation and carbon reduction should actively play a leading role in demonstration, consolidate their achievements, continuously improve the level of energy conservation and carbon reduction, drive the low-carbon transformation and high-quality development of the whole industry, and help realize the peak carbon dioxide emissions in the industrial field as scheduled.

Previously, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission and the State Administration of Markets jointly released the list of energy efficiency "leaders" enterprises in key energy-using industries in 2022, and two of the seven provincial-level benchmark enterprises in Sichuan were on the list.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, February 3rd Title: Abuse of "long arm jurisdiction" has made the world bitter and beautiful for a long time.

　　Xinhua News Agency reporter Fan Yu

　　The "long-arm jurisdiction" of the United States has existed for a long time, and its means are constantly being refurbished, but its essence is always a tool to safeguard American hegemony. The stick of sanctions has become more and more fierce, and the "arm" has become longer and longer. This arbitrary judicial practice of "extraterritorial jurisdiction" on entities and individuals in other countries has caused great harm to the world.

　　"Long-arm jurisdiction" was originally used to deal with the interstate jurisdiction of the United States, and later gradually evolved into a big weapon in the American bullying toolbox. The United States is constantly strengthening its legislation in an attempt to put on a "legitimate" coat for "long-arm jurisdiction", which not only involves a variety of legal names, but also lowers its application threshold to expand its discretion. At the same time, the United States has also established a "long-arm jurisdiction" implementation system with multi-sectoral division of labor and cooperation. The State Council, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Commerce and other departments in the United States perform their respective duties and cooperate with each other, and are endowed with law enforcement powers such as freezing assets, drawing up a list of sanctioned individuals and entities, and examining and issuing licenses. In addition, the US government also provides support for the enforcement of economic sanctions by controlling the two cross-border fund payment and settlement systems, SWIFT and CHIPS.

　　On July 4, 2022, in front of the US Embassy in Zimbabwe, Harare, Zimbabwe, members of Zimbabwe’s "Alliance Against Sanctions" held placards to oppose the long-term economic sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe by the United States and its Western allies. Xinhua News Agency (photo by Tafara Muguala)

　　According to the report of the US Treasury Department, by the end of fiscal year 2021, the United States has imposed more than 9,400 sanctions. Its number and variety are shocking. Ali Laidi, a researcher at the French Institute of International Relations and Strategy, pointedly pointed out in the book "The Secret War" that the United States openly exerts pressure on any country through "long-arm jurisdiction", whether it is an ally or an enemy, and it is completely "absolute monarch".

　　The United States abused "long arm jurisdiction" and attacked the multilateral international order. The United States frequently implements unilateral sanctions outside the framework of the United Nations. In 2021 alone, the US Department of Finance, the Ministry of Commerce and other departments imposed various sanctions on more than 2,000 entities. As a result, the sanctions function of the Security Council has been impacted, seriously affecting its normal operation of maintaining international peace and security. Ignoring its "301" measures, the United States has been ruled by the Dispute Settlement Body of the World Trade Organization as a violation of international law. It continues to launch various unilateral "301 investigations" on imported products from China and other countries, and maintains the existing "301" tariff measures, undermining the tariff concessions achieved by the multilateral trading system after several rounds of difficult negotiations, flagrantly trampling on the purpose and spirit of the multilateral trading system and damaging the cornerstone of its operation.

　　The abuse of "long arm jurisdiction" by the United States poses a serious threat to the economic sovereignty of other countries. So far, American "long arm jurisdiction" has involved China, Russian, Iranian, Syrian, North Korea, Cuba and other countries. Even during the global spread of the COVID-19 epidemic, the U.S. government stubbornly insisted on imposing unilateral sanctions on Iran, Syria and other countries, which made it difficult for the sanctioned countries to obtain medical supplies needed to fight the epidemic in time. The United States even spared its allies, and many enterprises in France, Britain, Germany, Japan and other countries became "meals on the plate" under its "long arm jurisdiction". The stories of victims such as Deutsche Bank and Alstom in France were widely circulated in the global industry. The French "Echo" pointed out that "long arm jurisdiction" has become a weapon in the American economic war.

　　This is the capitol in Washington, DC, on January 19th. Xinhua News Agency (photo by Shen Ting)　

　　The abuse of "long arm jurisdiction" by the United States interferes with the international trade order, undermines the normal supply chain of global trade, and harms the interests of enterprises in other countries. As long as the entity behavior has the so-called "minimum contact" with the United States, the "long arm" may arrive at any time. With the "long arm" of the United States stretched out indiscriminately, European companies such as Germany, France and Italy were fined or dealt a fatal blow. In order to hunt down competitive enterprises, the "long arm jurisdiction" of the United States has been increased layer by layer, expanding from the United States to the global scope, and extending from American goods to goods produced by American technology and equipment. Such interference in international business transactions and competition completely deviates from its long-term self-proclaimed liberal market economy concept.

　　The United States is abusing its "long arm jurisdiction" and is eating itself back. In order to counter the "long arm" of the United States, some countries, while perfecting their own laws, also launched a counterattack against the United States on multilateral occasions. In 1996, the European Union passed the Blocking Act, which blocked the effect of American "long arm jurisdiction" measures in the EU by legislation. In addition, the EU has put forward proposals and initiated initiatives in the United Nations General Assembly, the Security Council, the WTO and other international institutions, calling on the international community to pay attention to the dangers of the "long-arm jurisdiction" of the United States. The addiction to sanctions and bullying in the United States have caused increasingly strong dissatisfaction in the international community, and the willfulness of the United States’ "long-arm jurisdiction" will eventually harm others and harm themselves.

Conference site

　　Cctv news(Reporter He Chuan) On September 29th, China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) released the 46th Statistical Report on Internet Development in China (hereinafter referred to as the Report). The Report focuses on five aspects: Internet infrastructure, the scale and structure of netizens, the development of Internet applications, the development of Internet government affairs and Internet security, and strives to comprehensively reflect the development of China’s Internet in the first half of 2020 through multi-angle and all-round data display.

　　According to the Report, as of June 2020, the number of netizens in China reached 940 million, an increase of 36.25 million compared with March 2020, and the Internet penetration rate reached 67.0%, an increase of 2.5 percentage points compared with March 2020. Wu Tienan, secretary of the Party Committee and deputy director of CNNIC, pointed out that during the epidemic, China’s Internet industry showed great vitality and resilience, which not only played a key role in accurately and effectively preventing and controlling the epidemic, but also made remarkable progress in digital infrastructure, digital economy, digital benefiting the people and digital governance, and became an important force for China to meet new challenges and build a new economy.

　　Zhang Xiao, deputy director of CNNIC, interpreted the report and summarized the highlights of Internet development in China in the first half of 2020 from eight aspects.

　　"New format" helps fight the epidemic and stabilize the overall situation

　　In the first half of the year, online education, online medical care, telecommuting and other application services played a great role in maintaining the normal operation of social economy and stabilizing the basic needs of people’s livelihood. As of June 2020, the number of online education users in China reached 381 million, accounting for 40.5% of the total netizens; The number of online medical users reached 276 million, accounting for 29.4% of the total netizens; The number of telecommuting users reached 199 million, accounting for 21.2% of the total netizens.

　　The Internet has gathered and supported 623 million pieces of "health code" data shared by all localities, with a cumulative service of 600 million person-times, which has become an important innovation for this big data to support epidemic prevention and control.

　　"New capital construction" injection vitality amplification

　　In the first half of the year, the central government intensively deployed to speed up the progress of "new infrastructure" and made positive progress in many important areas: by the end of June 2020, the number of 5G terminal connections had exceeded 66 million, and three basic telecommunications companies had opened more than 400,000 5G base stations. More than 500 industrial Internet platforms with distinctive features and diverse capabilities have been cultivated in the field of industrial Internet.

　　By July 2020, the number of users with assigned IPv6 addresses in China reached 1.442 billion, and the number of active users with IPv6 reached 362 million. The top 100 commercial websites and applications have all supported IPv6 access.

　　"New economy" expands domestic demand to help transformation

　　By June 2020, the number of users of e-commerce live broadcast, short video and online shopping in China increased by more than 5% compared with that in March, and the number of users of e-commerce live broadcast reached 309 million, an increase of 44.3 million compared with that in March 2020, with a scale growth rate of 16.7%, making it the fastest growing personal Internet application in the first half of the year.

　　The number of online retail users reached 749 million, accounting for 79.7% of the total netizens. The market remained the first in the world for seven consecutive years, which provided important support for the formation of a new development pattern.

The latest development of Tesla FSD entering China

On August 10th, a blogger broke the news on the social platform that the test version of Tesla’s fully automatic driving function FSD has been pushed to the China market, and data will be collected in the "shadow mode" at the initial stage. After the relevant feasibility verification is completed, it will be gradually activated for a small-scale trial.

Although there is no official response to this, there have been new developments in the past two days in response to the FSD’s entry into China. Some media reported that Tesla plans to set up a team of about 20 people in China to promote the landing of FSD in China. At the same time, Tesla will set up a data marking team of about 100 people in China to prepare for FSD algorithm training.

AI perspective

If these revelations are true, it means that Tesla FSD Beta will come to China soon, which is expected to accelerate the intelligent process of China Automobile Company as a whole. However, industry analysts said that Tesla FSD faced two thresholds of qualification and data when it entered China.

In terms of qualification threshold, because Tesla needs to achieve automatic driving through "shadow mode", when the vehicle is driving, the system will automatically detect the surrounding environment and learn the driver’s driving style in relevant sections. This practice may be judged as a map mapping behavior, and it needs to obtain relevant qualifications before it can be carried out.

As for the data threshold, in order to ensure information security, Tesla also needs to set up a data center in China to store and process the China road data collected by the autopilot system locally, and cannot send it back to the United States. However, on August 14th, Tesla officially announced that it had established a data center in China, and the data collected by all Tesla models sold in China would be stored in China.

It is worth noting that many brands in China are developing their own assisted driving systems, including Tucki, Weilai, Zhiji, Ideality, Huawei, Great Wall, etc., which plan to launch products equipped with urban NOA, that is, pilot assisted driving functions.

In the second half of this year, it will be the peak moment for intelligent driving to fight the urban scene.

BYD withdrew from the autopilot cooperation with Baidu.

According to two people familiar with the matter, BYD has withdrawn from the agreement to equip its electric vehicles with Baidu autonomous driving technology and chose to develop its own smart car software. According to people familiar with the matter, BYD decided to suspend cooperation with Baidu because it believes that autonomous driving technology has no prospect in the mass market in the near future.

AI perspective

BYD initially agreed to use Baidu’s technology in its electric vehicles in March 2022, including navigation and automatic parking service function. This cooperation is regarded as one of the major changes of Apollo, Baidu’s autonomous driving department. Subsequently, Baidu said at the third quarter performance meeting held in November 2022 that the cooperation with BYD was a sign of "the growing interest of automakers in their autonomous driving solutions". Obviously, the cancellation of this agreement will be a huge blow to Baidu’s autonomous driving business.

Although the development of autonomous driving business is quite bumpy, the latest progress has been made by Baidu’s Jidu Automobile. Insiders said that they are no longer called Jidu, but extremely yue. The first model of the original Jidu automobile "Jidu ROBO-01" was renamed as "Extreme Yue 01" and entered the latest batch of new automobile products public announcement of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. It can be understood that Extreme Yue 01 has obtained the qualification for marketing.

It is reported that Jiyue is a newly established automobile sub-brand under Geely Holding, and the main body of the company is Hangzhou Jiyue Automobile Technology Co., Ltd., which was newly established on August 9 this year. It is worth noting that the shareholding ratio of Baidu and Geely has changed: Baidu holds 55% of the shares, Geely holds 45%, and Baidu dominates; Now, from the perspective of the new company "Extreme and Yue", Geely holds 65% of the shares, Baidu holds 35%, and Geely dominates.

Baidu’s change from a major shareholder who took the lead in building a car to a technology provider who participated in building a car means that Baidu founder Li Yanhong has given up building a car and returned to his original heart in 2018: "Baidu will not build its own car, will not open its own production line and design its own engine, and only do research and development of autonomous driving technology that it is good at."

Vice President of Weilai Hardware: In the next 1-2 years, some key self-developed chips of Weilai will be mass-produced.

Recently, Bai Jian, vice president of Weilai Automotive Hardware, said that in the field of intelligent hardware, starting from NT1, Weilai’s domain controller circuit and structure will be designed by itself and entrusted to the foundry for production. Even in OEM production, the test fixture and test software development of the production line are self-developed and transferred to the foundry for use. In the next 1-2 years, some key self-developed chips of Weilai will be mass-produced.

Feifan Automobile Releases "Three Electricity" Technical System

On August 14th, Feifan Automobile held the theme communication meeting of "Feifan Energy Day" in Beijing. At the meeting, Feifan Automobile released its "Three Electricity" technology system. At the same time, Feifan Automobile’s first power station in Beijing was launched. In terms of battery, Feifan CTP battery structure adopts "double-layer lying" battery layout. With this layout, the batteries are distributed in the cells in pairs, and the contact area between batteries is reduced by 70%, thus avoiding the chain reaction of battery thermal runaway.

In terms of power exchange, during the power exchange process of Feifan Automobile, the vehicle is constantly powered on, and the power exchange time is only 2.5 minutes.

　　Recently, Shanghai and Chongqing issued a new policy on the same day to continue to cool down the still restless property market. The reason is that the speculators in the property market still have a fire. According to industry insiders, it will be a high probability event that the real estate market in hot cities in China will continue to tighten in the future, and the property market may continue to cool down and house prices will fall. However, it should be noted that under the background of low cost of ownership, the property market is still a paradise for speculators, or it may be difficult to break the strange circle of "ten adjustments and nine rises" in the property market. Therefore, the long-term mechanism as the last link to stabilize the property market should be pushed to the stage as soon as possible.

　　Frequent market change policies

　　On January 7th, Chongqing Municipal Bureau of Land and Housing issued the Notice on Strengthening the Management of Pre-sale Scheme of Projects in the Main City, pointing out that the provisions on pre-sale price declaration, price review and price change filing will be strictly implemented. If the pricing is unreasonable and the pre-sale price is adjusted, it is necessary to provide the basis for price adjustment. If the reasons are insufficient and unreasonable, the change shall not be filed. In addition, it is strictly forbidden to collect fees such as deposits and reservations by subscription, reservation, etc. It is strictly forbidden to force buyers to accept the price of goods or services by binding tying or attaching conditions. It is strictly forbidden to fabricate or publish false information to drive up housing prices.

　　For those who fail to announce the price in accordance with the regulations, clearly mark the price or publicize the external sales with false advertisements, Chongqing said that it will keep a high pressure on the illegal activities of real estate enterprises. Violations will be included in real estate credit files, and relevant information will be notified to relevant departments such as land, taxation and finance, and their land purchase, financial credit and other activities will be restricted.

　　On the same day, the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Housing and Urban-Rural Development announced that in view of the recent illegal sales of some commercial office projects and the sharp increase in complaints about unauthorized reconstruction, it will work with relevant departments to centrally clean up and verify commercial office projects and suspend online signing of such projects. According to statistics, 128 projects in Shanghai have been suspended.

　　Prior to this, on December 31, 2016, Xi ‘an issued the Notice of Xi ‘an Municipal People’s Government on Further Promoting the Sustained, Stable and Healthy Development of the Real Estate Market. Since January 1, 2017, Xi ‘an and non-local registered households (including husband and wife and minor children) can only purchase a new set of housing (including new housing and second-hand housing) within the six districts of this city.

　　At the end of December 2016, Shijiazhuang issued the "Notice on Further Strengthening the Supervision of the Business Behavior of Real Estate Intermediaries", requiring many administrative departments such as housing construction, industry and commerce to strengthen supervision and guidance and effectively regulate the business behavior of real estate intermediaries. On January 3 this year, Hainan notified 1,352 real estate agencies in the province that they had not filed. The Housing and Construction Department of Hainan Province asked the agencies and their branches that had not filed to file without delay, otherwise they would suspend their online contracting qualification for commercial housing sales according to regulations. "The main reason for the policy linkage is market changes." An industry insider said that although the regulation continues to be stricter, the policy effect is shrinking under the background that buyers’ expectations have not changed.

　　From last December, some signs of rebound in the property market appeared. According to the data released by Yiju Research Institute, the transaction data rebounded in December 2016 due to the impact of year-end performance catch-up. In December 2016, the monitored transaction area of new commercial housing in 30 typical cities was 22.99 million square meters, an increase of 15.6% from the previous month and a decrease of 2.8% from the same period last year. Since the end of December 2016, the transaction area of new commercial housing in Chongqing has obviously warmed up. In November, the weekly transaction area of newly-built commercial housing fluctuated from 550,000 to 760,000 square meters, but from December 19 to 25, the weekly transaction area quickly rose to 870,000 square meters, and in the following week including New Year’s Day holiday, the transaction area was as high as 1.29 million square meters, reaching the highest value of recent transactions. From December 26, 2016 to January 1, 2017, the volume of transactions in Chongqing even exceeded the whole month of February and July 2016.

　　Long-term mechanism is imminent

　　Recently, Xu Shaoshi, director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at the press conference organized by the State Council Office to lead the new normal of economic development and deepen the supply-side reform that China’s economy will not experience a "collapse mode" decline and a "hard landing", house prices have also been effectively controlled, and a long-term mechanism is being formulated, including some laws and regulations and fiscal and financial policies.

　　“‘ Brake ’ You can’t step on it for too long, and it is not enough to rely on demand-side regulation. " Yu Liang, president of Vanke, has previously said that the key to the long-term healthy development of the real estate industry is to use the precious opportunity after stepping on the brakes to establish a long-term mechanism and increase effective supply. The key to real estate regulation is to cure the problem, that is, to establish an institutional framework, including land, investment and financing, housing and tax system.

　　It is worth noting that the main reason for the previous "ten adjustments and nine rises" in house prices is that it is difficult for short-term regulatory policies to form a benign policy cycle effect. National academy of economic strategy’s "China Housing Development Report (2015-2016)" pointed out that it is difficult for housing control policies to achieve the expected control objectives, mainly because they failed to take into account the lag of policies, resulting in the lack of stability and sustainability of control policies.

　　In addition, Ni Pengfei, director of the Urban and Competitiveness Research Center of China Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out that the negative regulation by local governments is also an important reason for the panic surge in housing prices. He said that at the end of 2015, the central government clearly stated that "third-and fourth-tier cities should de-stock, and first-and second-tier cities should curb speculation". However, in the process of local implementation, first-and second-tier cities did not implement this policy well, but the inventory was not large, which led to a sharp rise in housing prices. However, third-and fourth-tier cities that should de-stock failed to reduce supply but increased new investment due to financial considerations, especially in the first half of last year, the growth rate of investment in third-and fourth-tier cities was even higher than that in first-and second-tier cities.

　　Jia Kang, former director of the Institute of Fiscal Science of the Ministry of Finance, also pointed out that the real estate market in China is a "swinging" type. "Before, everyone was worried that there would be two worlds of ice and fire, and many third-and fourth-tier cities and some second-tier cities were under such great pressure of destocking. I didn’t expect it to get hot in just a few months, and the housing prices in first-tier cities and second-tier hotspot cities rose rapidly. As a result, local governments had to constantly introduce various measures to restrict purchases and loans. This kind of ‘ Swing ’ The performance of the model once again shows that the multi-round regulation we talked about in previous years is mainly to cure the symptoms, not to effectively cure the problem. "

　　"The long-term housing mechanism lacks a clear framework, route and timetable." Ni Pengfei said that the property tax and personal housing information system are progressing slowly, which affects the overall construction process and regulation effect of the long-term mechanism; In terms of the supply of affordable housing, the implementation details of the supply of affordable housing by monetizing resettlement and purchasing on behalf of the agent need to be improved.

　　Wu Huimin, senior director of dtz and director of comprehensive residential services in East China, believes that the government needs to reasonably guide market demand, comprehensively levy property tax and other good medicines, and establish a long-term mechanism, which is the key to stabilizing housing prices.

　　Ni Pengfei suggested that the long-term mechanism of real estate should establish a housing property right, management, exchange, consumption and distribution system of "multiple ownership", "existing home sales", "rental and sales at the same time", "filtering use" and "currency dynamics", so that new citizens can rent and buy affordable housing through market and government support. At the same time, we will establish a "paid and competitive" housing land system, a "multi-level, GSP" housing finance system, and a "holding tax-based" real estate fiscal and taxation system.

　　2017 real estate price or stalemate

　　"The capital factors supporting the rapid growth of commercial housing in 2016 should be gradually weakened, and the regulatory policies are difficult to relax in the short term. In this context, 2017 should be a year of stalemate in real estate prices." Zhu Xuru, secretary of Vanke’s board of directors, said.

　　Wang Tao, chief economist of UBS China, also believes that the adjustment of the real estate market in 2017 will be relatively mild. Due to the current low overall inventory in the market, the inventory in the third-and fourth-tier areas has also declined in the past year or two; Last year, the momentum of new construction and real estate investment was not strong, and the downside was limited; Although the policy is being tightened as a whole, it is not a drastic regulation, but because of the city’s governance. Compared with 2010 and 2011, the regulation policy is relatively mild.

　　"Moderate adjustment refers to real estate investment rather than real estate sales. The growth of new construction and investment in real estate may drop from 7%-8% last year to 2%-3% this year, and the adjustment range is not large. From 2013 to 2015, the adjustment of real estate investment was between 10% and 20%, which is relatively mild this year. " Wang Tao said.

　　In view of the future trend of real estate policy, Wang Tao believes that the decision-makers will still accelerate the reform of household registration system and the infrastructure construction between central cities and satellite cities, and expand the scope of central cities, but there will be no major austerity policies.

　　Li Zhiying, head of real estate industry research at UBS in China, also pointed out that real estate investment trusts (REITs) will be a major driving force for the real estate industry in the mainland in the next five years, which will help real estate enterprises to revitalize their funds, provide the market with investment tools with high transparency and certain returns, and be an important step in financial reform.

　　Liu Ning, secretary of the board of directors of China Merchants Shekou, also pointed out that it is expected that the market will cool down in 2017, the financing of the real estate industry will also be tightened, and high-priced land acquisition will not be sustainable. (Liang Qian)
