[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.

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.

"Avenue of the Country": the "most beautiful" self-driving route of China G219.

National Highway 219 is a world-class scenic avenue, which starts from Kanas in Xinjiang in the north and ends in Dongxing in Guangxi in the south, with a total length of 10065 kilometers.

G219 line is divided into old national highway 219 line and new national highway 219 line. The old national highway No.219, the new Tibet highway, starts from Yecheng County in Kashgar, Xinjiang in the north and reaches the 2140-kilometer stone tablet in Lazi County, Shigatse City, Tibet in the south, where it meets the Sino-Nepalese highway section of National Highway No.318, also known as Yela Highway.

It is the third highway to enter Xizang after Sichuan-Tibet Highway and Qinghai-Tibet Highway. The new G219, also known as Kadong Line, was issued by the Ministry of Transport on March 5, 2018. The northern end of the original G219 was extended to Kanas in northern Xinjiang, and the southern end was rerouted to dongxing city in Guangxi. The whole highway passed through Xinjiang, Xizang, Yunnan and Guangxi provinces. The new G219 is 10065km long, which is twice as long as the National Highway 318 (5476km) and the longest national highway in China at present.

Vipshop will release the "2023 Beauty Awakening Trend": the trend of makeup first, refined demand and streamlined skin care is remarkable.

Wake up in the spring, and the mood of wanting to be beautiful grows wantonly in the new spring.
According to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, the total retail sales of social consumer goods reached 7,706.7 billion yuan in January and February 2023, a year-on-year increase of 3.5%. Among them, the total retail sales of cosmetics was 65.6 billion yuan, up 3.8% year-on-year, achieving the first positive growth since August 2022, and the cosmetics market showed obvious warming momentum.
Recently, Vipshop joined hands with many well-known beauty brands to launch a consumer survey called # Vipshop Beauty Awakening Plan #, and based on the platform sales data, brand feedback and nearly 1,500 netizens’ responses from platforms such as Weibo, Xiaohongshu, bilibili and Zhihu, it released the "2023 Beauty Awakening Trend" (hereinafter referred to as "Trend"). Trend shows that since the beginning of this year, the trend of making-up first, refined demand and streamlined skin care has been remarkable, which has brought new development space and growth point to the beauty market.
Trend 1: under the recovery of the market, make-up is the first to start.
In the vibrant spring, bright makeup makes people feel happier and more confident socially. Benefiting from the full liberalization of consumption and social scenes, makeup consumption took the lead in the first quarter of 2023, which sounded the clarion call for the recovery of the beauty market.
According to the data of Vipshop, from January to mid-March, 2023, the sales volume of platform makeup increased by 6.24% month-on-month, among which lip makeup and eye makeup products increased the most obviously, increasing by 15.3% and 18.6% month-on-month. In terms of brands, the sales of domestic beauty brands, such as Huaxizi, Kazilan and Tangduo, have increased significantly, with an increase of 17.1%, 24.9% and 20.6% respectively.
Geographically, the sales of beauty cosmetics in first-tier and new first-tier cities have increased significantly. For example, the sales of beauty cosmetics in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen increased by 20% to 40% month-on-month, and the growth rates of Chengdu and Chongqing, the "most beautiful cities", both exceeded 80%. Among the top ten cities in beauty sales, Xi ‘an increased by 101.9% month-on-month, ranking first in the country.
Trend 2: The consumer demand is refined, and the subdivided track is optimistic.
With the refinement of consumer demand, more and more beauty brands further expand their product lines and capture opportunities to segment the track. Taking Tangduo as an example, in 2022, innovative products, such as high-gloss capacity-repairing disk and ultra-fine eyeliner, were introduced in addition to the dominant categories such as eye shadow and blush, which formed a more perfect product layout and quickly seized the market segment.
At the same time, consumers’ awareness of cosmetics has improved rapidly, which puts forward higher requirements for the brand’s product strength. The person in charge of the Lancer brand pointed out that many "component parties" are even familiar with the basic formula and efficacy features of the products, and the beauty track will continue to "roll the efficacy" and "roll the research and development".
In addition, the refinement of demand is also reflected in the consumption scene+style. The person in charge of Maybelline brand said, "With the stratification, diversification and refinement of consumer demand, beauty care brands gradually break the circle boundary and expand brand influence through topic innovation with different emotions and scenes."
Trend 3: quality consumption prevails, and subtraction skin care becomes a hot spot.
# vipshop Beauty Awakening Plan # Consumer survey results show that nearly half of the consumers surveyed have reported that their consumption mentality has tended to be calm in the past three years, and their choices have become more rational, paying more attention to product quality. "I used to buy what I used to buy, but now I prefer to be short of it, and I will choose products that are of good quality and suitable for me."
The person in charge of Maybelline brand believes that consumers’ pursuit for the quality and details of beauty products reflects a typical attitude towards self-satisfaction.
The ever-changing lifestyle is reshaping the relationship between consumers and beauty care. A person in the beauty industry said, "Under the influence of environmental awareness and healthiness, consumers are increasingly favoring products with natural raw materials and safe ingredients. In terms of makeup, more consumers began to’ do subtraction’, praised natural and clean makeup, bid farewell to exaggeration and pursue originality. "
After more than half a year’s market downturn, the prosperity of the cosmetics industry has greatly increased. Cosmetics are selling well during Valentine’s Day 214 and Women’s Day 3.8 this year, which also makes brands optimistic about the next market trend.
The person in charge of the Orange Blossom brand said, "When the overall social mobility returns to normal, the vitality of the market is increasingly displayed. More importantly, we have seen more confidence in the industry, which comes from the supply chain, channels, consumers, and even more from various brands in the industry. This makes us look forward to the overall recovery of the beauty industry. "
The person in charge of Vipshop’s beauty cosmetics said: "As the original intention of the Spring Awakening Plan, Vipshop hopes to join hands with beauty brands in spring and start from spring."

The list of wildlife protection is updated, and a large number of familiar fish and snakes are included in daily life.

  A few days ago, the newly compiled List of National Key Protected Wild Animals (hereinafter referred to as the List of Animals) and List of National Key Protected Wild Plants (hereinafter referred to as the List of Plants) began to be publicized to the whole society and solicited opinions.

  Scientists believe that biodiversity includes animals, plants, microorganisms, ecosystems and their ecological processes, among which animals and plants are the most important part of the biological world and have the closest relationship with human beings. The protection of wild animals and plants is the basis of maintaining biodiversity and ecological balance, and is also closely related to the declaration of world heritage and the establishment of national parks, nature reserves and scenic spots.

  The number of listed species has increased significantly.

  "Overall, the updating of the directory will have a far-reaching impact on the protection of endangered wild animals and plants in China, and will also be conducive to the country’s ecological protection, biodiversity protection, heritage site protection and the restoration of the national ecological environment." Jiang Zhigang, a researcher at the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, participated in the research on mammals in the Catalogue of Animals. He said that the country’s work of updating the list of animals and plants has condensed brand-new scientific and technological wisdom. Scientific and technological workers absorb the latest zoological knowledge and research results at home and abroad, and comprehensively consider the living conditions, endangered conditions, protection levels and management needs of species; The opinions of experts, managers and the public were also widely solicited.

  The Animal Catalogue for this consultation involves 661 species of wild animals in 17 classes and 70 orders, which is more than twice as many as the first edition in 1989. "Scientists generally believe that the current endangered situation of species is still serious, and more and more species need to be protected. The main influencing factors are the change of species’ living conditions, endangered status, management needs and international factors. Recently, it was affected by the COVID-19 epidemic. " By clarifying the protection level of wild animals again, we are actually re-examining the relationship between people and wild animals. Jiang Zhigang thinks so.

  The newly compiled Catalogue of Plants contains 468 species and 25 species of wild plants. On the basis of the first batch of Catalogue of Plants, 55 species were deleted and 296 species and 17 species were added. The number of species listed in the two lists has increased significantly compared with before.

  Dr. Qin Haining from Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has been involved in the tracking and revision of the Catalogue of Plants since it was first published in China in 1999. He said that the number of species newly compiled in the Catalogue of Plants has nearly doubled compared with before. "When the first batch of Plant Catalogue was published in 1999, many plant groups with high economic value and serious resource destruction were not included for various reasons. For example, Orchidaceae, Peony and Ginseng were not added until this time. " He emphasized that in recent years, the state has obviously strengthened the protection of the natural environment and enhanced its emphasis on ecological concepts; In addition, after the COVID-19 epidemic, the whole society paid more attention to animal and plant protection … … These social development backgrounds have given a "green light" to the expansion and publication of the directory.

  Respond to the global protection goal

  On July 9th, while the newly compiled Catalogue of Plants was publicly solicited for comments, the World Conservation Union (IUCN) also updated the latest data in 2020 for the IUCN Global Red List of Threatened Species (hereinafter referred to as the IUCN Red List).

  Qin Haining believes that the purpose of compiling these "lists" is to show the endangered status of species, provide a basis for the government to formulate protection policies, and attract public attention. In the process of updating the Catalogue of Plants, we not only refer to the management effect and growth and decline of protected species in China for more than 20 years, but also refer to the list of plants that should be given priority and priority protection listed in the Red List of IUCN and the Red List of Biodiversity in China compiled by China. However, these directories have their own characteristics. IUCN Red List and China Biodiversity Red List are expert systems compiled according to international common standards, which encourage "all assessments should be made". Only some species in the list are endangered. For example, the Red List of Biodiversity in China — — Volume of Higher Plants has assessed more than 34,000 species of plants in China, of which only 3,700 species are "threatened", accounting for about 11%. The Catalogue of Animals and the Catalogue of Plants are issued by the government and provide legal protection. The red list ranks the degree of endangerment in the first place; The protection list first considers the values of economy, scientific research and ecological culture.

  In December 2019, the Ministry of Natural Resources became a national member representative of the World Conservation Union (IUCN).

  "The state is the subject of threatened species protection. ‘ Red List of National Endangered Species ’ It reflects the living conditions of this species in this country, "Jiang Zhigang said: For example, moose has a large population and wide distribution in North America and Europe, and was rated as" non-dangerous "by the IUCN Red List. But it is completely different in China, which is only distributed in Aershan and Daxing ‘anling, so it was rated as "extremely dangerous" by the Red List of Biodiversity in China. This provides an important basis for China to formulate protection countermeasures.

  It is of great significance to the development of natural heritage.

  Experts agree that the gradual implementation of the newly compiled Catalogue of Animals and Catalogue of Plants is an important event for biodiversity protection in China and an important embodiment of the country’s emphasis on ecological civilization construction.

  Jiang Zhigang explained that the updating process of Animal Catalogue and Plant Catalogue is that the state constantly confirms and reminds people in the form of laws and regulations to restrain people’s behavior in nature reserves. "This will definitely have a positive impact on the protection of the world natural heritage." Qin Haining added: "When we talk about biodiversity in the world natural heritage standards, we will mention the quantity and value of endemic, endangered and protected species. 50% of the wild plants in China and 60% of the species on the protection list are endemic to China, which means that they are unique resources in the world. Therefore, protecting biodiversity in China means protecting global biodiversity. Therefore, the promotion of the new catalogue is conducive to the declaration of new heritage sites and the protection of the original natural heritage sites. "

  After the formal promulgation and implementation, the relevant management and law enforcement departments will implement protection measures according to the two new catalogues, delimit new protected areas, and use this as a basis to approve projects related to biodiversity protection and control exports. Qin Haining believes that the protection of animal and plant species still needs to be combined with the protection of ecosystems to produce the best results. He believes that after the official publication of the directory, the state needs to start supporting protection measures as soon as possible, and the management department should establish a long-term tracking and updating mechanism, such as formulating the principle of updating and withdrawing the directory, and regularly updating it every once in a while.

  Extended reading

  In the Catalogue of Animals for public consultation, giant pandas, red-crowned cranes, tigers, leopards and snow leopards are still under first-class protection. The familiar Tibetan antelope, Tibetan wild donkey and python are reduced to secondary protection. In addition, snakes and fish that were common in the wild were included in a large number this time. Among them, 20 species of Serpentidae are newly listed in the list, and the protection levels of Jinggangshan Ridge Snake, Sansuo Snake, Xizang Hot Spring Snake, Sichuan Hot Spring Snake and Shangri-La Hot Spring Snake are all Grade I; 29 species of CYPRINIDAE were newly listed, among which tong yu in the north and tong yu in the wild round mouth were added as the first-class protected species.
