In Dacheng Road Market, the staff carefully inspected the meat quality inspection certificate and animal quarantine certificate of each pork stall, and then conducted on-site sampling inspection on all kinds of vegetables in the market to check whether the pesticide residues were qualified. The reporter learned that before 7 o’clock every morning, the market supervision staff in the area will randomly select 10-12 varieties of vegetables in the market for on-site inspection. All the test results will be published on the "vegetable test results publicity" display screen in the market, and the name of the dish, the booth and the test results will be clearly written. And this kind of work will be staged in the major farmers’ markets in Wuhan every day.

Many families choose to have dinner in the restaurant for the Spring Festival reunion dinner. The reporter followed the market supervision staff to Hujin Restaurant and made a surprise inspection of the implementation of the food safety management system in the restaurant, such as environmental sanitation, equipment and facilities, procurement and storage of raw materials, tableware cleaning and disinfection, and sample retention. According to the inspection results, the hardware facilities of the restaurant are good, the cleanliness of tableware is kept at a good level, and the hygiene management is in place.

Hubei Provincial Market Supervision Bureau issued food safety consumption tips for Spring Festival dinners to remind consumers to pay attention to food safety for holiday dinners.

First, we should pay attention to the hygiene of dining places. Consumers are advised to choose a safe and hygienic catering unit to eat, and try to eat in a restaurant with a food business license, good sanitary conditions, complete facilities, high quantitative level (smiling or laughing face) and the implementation of "bright kitchen". The video of the "bright kitchen" catering unit can supervise the post-kitchen processing and production process. Try to avoid going to restaurants that rank and turn over too many tables to eat, and prevent food safety problems in cleaning and disinfection due to super reception.

The second is to pay attention to the safety of dishes and ingredients. Holiday dinners should pay attention to a balanced diet, a combination of meat and vegetables, and reasonable nutrition. The ingredients should be mainly fresh in the season, and more hot foods should be cooked and cooked. High-risk foods such as bright-colored stewed vegetables, cold dishes, raw seafood, green beans and wild mushrooms should be carefully selected. When eating, pay attention to distinguish whether the color and taste of food are abnormal, do not eat foods with abnormal senses, "novelty" and "game", do not overeat, and limit drinking.

The third is to pay attention to personal hygiene habits. Establish a scientific and civilized consumption concept, pay attention to personal hygiene, wash your hands before meals, use sterilized tableware, advocate sharing meals with public chopsticks and spoons, and reduce the risk of cross-contamination at dinner.

Fourth, we should pay attention to safeguarding our own rights and interests. When food safety problems are found, the problem food and consumption bills should be kept well, and complaints should be made to 12315 or the local market supervision department in time. In case of suspected food poisoning, you should seek medical attention in time and keep relevant evidence so that relevant departments can investigate and collect evidence.

The fifth is to ensure the safety of self-hosted family banquets. For collective dinners hosted by rural families, chefs with health certificates and trained qualifications should be selected to host the banquets. Rural dining places should be clean and hygienic, the purchased and used food and raw materials should be of clear source and qualified quality, the food should be cooked thoroughly, and the perishable food and cooked food should be stored in a reasonable way.

　　Everyone has a love of beauty. In the era of Yan value economy, consumers’ pursuit of beauty supports the sustained growth of the beauty industry. However, in a long historical period, foreign brands have always occupied a dominant position in China’s beauty market, and the late-developing domestic brands can only catch up with each other in this marathon.

　　However, the competitive landscape is changing. In recent years, the rise of domestic beauty cosmetics has accelerated, and the market penetration rate has steadily increased. Last year’s "double 11", a report card made everyone shine-domestic brands surpassed international brands for the first time and won the beauty category titles on Tmall and Tik Tok platforms. In the context of the general decline of foreign brands, domestic beauty products have achieved contrarian growth. The "proud" performance is not only driven by the new trend in the consumption field, but also depends on the strong investment of domestic brands in ingredient research and development, the continuous pursuit of cost performance and the gradual improvement of brand strength.

　　Recently,In the "Times Meeting Room" column, the reporter had an in-depth conversation with Sun Huaiqing, Chairman and CEO of the Board of Directors, and Xu Xiaofang, Chief Analyst of Beauty and Commerce of CITIC Securities Research Department, to analyze the reasons behind the rise of domestic beauty products, discuss how technology can reshape the competitive landscape of China’s beauty industry in the "Composition Age", and look forward to the investment opportunities of beauty track in 2024.

　　Leading the "Component Age" with "Chip-level Revolution"

　　"2023 is the first year of China cosmetics, and it is also the origin of national brands surpassing multinational brands in an all-round way." Sun Huaiqing said that during several major e-commerce promotion activities last year, there was an obvious "trade-off" in the sales growth rate of national brands and multinational brands. On the one hand, some national brands have gained dozens of points of growth; On the other hand, some international brands have experienced a bleak performance decline.

　　According to the data of China Cosmetics Yearbook 2023, the domestic cosmetic market in China in 2023 is larger than that of foreign brands. It is worth noting that this is also the first time that domestic brands have surpassed foreign brands in online and offline channels. In Sun Huaiqing’s view, "this is not the end" and the trend will continue.

　　What does domestic beauty accelerate to catch up with? Both Sun Huaiqing and Xu Xiaofang frequently mentioned the progress of raw materials and the rise of local ingredients. "In the past few years, we have paid attention to the rise of a number of local bioactive raw materials suppliers in China, which can provide high-quality and low-cost raw materials for downstream brands to add in sufficient quantities. This laid a solid foundation for the product strength of domestic beauty products. " Xu Xiaofang said.

　　In recent years, Chinese consumers’ awareness of ingredients has deepened, and the demand for skin care products has advanced towards more personalized segmentation. Recombinant collagen is the "new top flow" in the current functional skin care track. Especially in recent days, international big names have entered the market one after another, betting on recombinant collagen components. LVMH’s private equity fund led the domestic recombinant collagen enterprises in September last year, and L ‘Oreal also introduced recombinant collagen into new products in December last year. According to the global growth consulting firm Jost Sullivan, in 2025, the market share of recombinant collagen will surpass hyaluronic acid and become the first raw material component of skin care products.

　　In the cosmetics industry, raw materials and ingredients have always been regarded as the "soul", which is also the shortcoming and weakness of China cosmetics companies in the past. However, in the component of recombinant collagen, local domestic brands have played the role of "leader". "Marumi announced in 2021 that China is leading the world in the research of recombinant collagen, and we are long-term practitioners, cultivators and leaders of this ingredient." Sun Huaiqing said.

　　Anti-aging is the rigid demand of skin care products. The essence of aging is the loss of human collagen. To resist aging, it is necessary to prescribe the right medicine and supplement collagen. At present, animal-derived collagen is widely used in skin care products because of its low cost and simple process. According to Sun Huaiqing, animal-derived collagen has three natural pain points: first, extracted from animal leather, it is inevitable that there is solvent residue, which is not gentle enough; Second, animal products may carry pathogens and are not safe enough; Third, animal collagen and human collagen are not the same species, and the absorption effect is not good enough.

　　"In order to solve these problems, there are many skin care products that stimulate the skin to produce collagen by using ingredients such as retinol or peptides. Through more than 10 years of research, we have synthesized humanized collagen similar to collagen in human skin by gene recombination, which can directly supplement the collagen lost by human body. " Sun Huaiqing said.

　　Chip is regarded as the key to China’s breakthrough in the field of science and technology, and Sun Huaiqing regards the success of component research and development as a "chip-level revolution". "The change brought by China brand to China cosmetics industry is a’ chip-level revolution’. This is the goal we are striving for and what is happening now. " Sun Huaiqing said.

　　"It’s not that foreign goods can’t afford it, but that domestic products are more cost-effective." "You can buy expensive ones, but you can’t buy expensive ones." … Under the background of the rise of generation Z and the change of consumption concept, the global consumer industry has ushered in profound changes, and the behavior pattern of the younger generation of consumers has changed from blindly advocating big brands to rational consumption and pursuing cost-effectiveness.

　　This trend in the field of consumption is undoubtedly a great opportunity for domestic beauty.

　　"At this stage, China Cosmetics fits consumers’ pursuit of cost performance very well." Xu Xiaofang told reporters that the booming raw material supply in the upstream provided raw materials with reasonable price, high activity and high purity, which enabled the downstream cosmetics brands to make skin care products with the same effect as international brands, and the price was more advantageous, thus better meeting the needs of consumers in China.

　　In the past, domestic beauty cosmetics gave people the impression that they were "big brands and cheap bowls". Is the current popular "cost performance" another synonym for low quality and low price? Sun Huaiqing gave a clear negative answer to this question. In his view, consumers have grown more savvy, and savvy consumers always hope that the money they pay is valuable when buying goods. High cost performance does not mean that the absolute price is low, but that the quality of this product brings consumers "sex" far higher than "price".

　　Take Marubi’s recombinant collagen mini-golden needle essence product as an example. According to Sun Huaiqing, the current price of this product is between 300 yuan and 400 yuan, but other products with similar efficacy and skin care experience on the market may cost 500 yuan to 600 yuan. Comparing the two, Marumi’s products are more cost-effective. "Cost performance has nothing to do with the absolute value of the price, but with the experience, feeling and change it brings to people. Marumi is a firm follower, practitioner and leader in cost performance. " Sun Huaiqing said.

　　Xu Xiaofang also observed that with the all-round progress of domestic beauty cosmetics in raw materials, packaging and marketing, the prices of many local cosmetic brands are gradually increasing. "Five years ago, the unit price of many mainstream local brand goods was around 100 yuan, and now it has gradually expanded to 200 yuan and higher price bands. But the current price is not too high, so it still has a strong cost performance for consumers. " Xu Xiaofang said.

　　At the same time, with the generation Z, represented by the post-90s generation, gradually becoming the main consumer in the field of beauty cosmetics, the new generation of consumers are more rational and smart in their consumption behavior, with stronger national self-confidence and higher willingness to try local brands, which provides broad opportunities for the rise of domestic beauty cosmetics.

　　Sun Huaiqing told reporters that the average penetration rate of cosmetics among post-90s consumers in China has exceeded that of foreign consumers, which means that their demand for skin care and make-up is stronger. What this generation has seen is a prosperous and prosperous China, which not only has economic self-confidence, but also gains cultural self-confidence in the process of growing up. The founders and operators of China brand know China consumers better and are better at emotional interaction with China consumers than multinational brands, so they have more advantages.

　　In recent years, the competition in the booming beauty industry has become increasingly fierce, and a number of cutting-edge brands have risen rapidly, which are favored by young consumers and have a very strong growth momentum. In this regard, as a domestic brand with a history of more than 20 years, Sun Huaiqing believes that Marumi still has strong vitality. "In a forest, vines, vines and ferns often grow fastest, but the trees have the strongest vitality." Sun Huaiqing said that the continuous investment in R&D, perfect supply chain, abundant capital reserves, a team of over 1,000 people with common values, and a basic customer base of over 10 million people are all the advantages and confidence of Marumi. "Only when the roots are deep will the trees grow tall." In Sun Huaiqing’s view, Marumi is the big tree in the forest with its roots deeply rooted in the ground.

　　Although in 2023, domestic beauty products achieved many surprising results in terms of increasing domestic market share and "sailing out to sea", in the secondary market, the beauty sector as a whole was in a downward channel in the past year. There is a certain degree of deviation between the industry performance and the valuation trend of the secondary market.

　　In this regard, Xu Xiaofang said that the rise and fall of stock prices is not only related to the fundamental situation of the industry and the company, but also the result of the comprehensive effects of valuation, capital movements, policy changes and other factors. In the past few years, the valuation of the entire beauty plate has experienced a period of continuous increase. In 2023, the valuation ushered in adjustment and decline, and the reflection on the stock price was also obvious. "But from a longer time axis, the price of the stock will definitely reflect the real value of the company in the end." Xu Xiaofang said.

　　"I boldly predict that in the next 5-7 years, the sales of China brand in China market will completely surpass those of multinational brands." Sun Huaiqing told reporters. At the same time, he predicted that three to five world-class cosmetics groups would be born in China no later than 2049. Based on this judgment, he believes that smart and far-sighted investors will use their own money to cast brands that they think are worth investing in. Therefore, the value of an excellent company will eventually be reflected in the stock price.

　　"Looking forward to 2024, we will continue to maintain confidence in the beauty industry, which is expected to continue to grow steadily." Talking about the investment opportunities in 2024, Xu Xiaofang judged this. Specifically, she believes that investors can pay attention to some structural opportunities when laying out the beauty track, and there are three main lines to focus on: first, continue to follow the main line of cost performance, second, make beauty science and technology, and third, pay attention to a group of China local raw material enterprises that are rising in the upstream of the industrial chain.

The branch line of Baoyin high-speed railway Yinba (Yinchuan to Bayanhaote) is an important part of the Jinglan passage of China’s "eight vertical and eight horizontal" railway network, and its Helanshan tunnel is the first single-track tunnel for passenger dedicated lines with a design speed of 200 kilometers per hour. Because it passes through Helan Mountain and the Ming Great Wall, it is necessary to protect the ecological environment and ensure the safety of cultural relics during the construction of Helan Mountain Tunnel. On New Year’s Day holiday, more than 400 railway builders of China Railway 15th Bureau fought for the front line of Helanshan Tunnel construction, racing against time to seize the construction period.

Since 2017, CBN New First-tier Cities Research Institute has continuously released the "Knowledge City Nightlife Index" to observe the activity of different cities at night, and whether this city can provide people with convenient conditions for nightlife, and also provide support for business decision-making of night format and related city research.

In the 2023 Urban Nightlife Index, we continue.The evaluation model of six data dimensions, including night trips, the number of bars, the number of livehouse, night lighting, night movies and night bus, makes a quantitative evaluation of the level and characteristics of night economic development in 337 cities at or above the prefecture level in China.

Subjective weighting calculation is adopted according to the importance of each dimension, and the specific calculation methods of the data of the above six dimensions are as follows:　

Night travel activity ×0.2

+Number of bars ×0.2

+number of +livehouse ×0.2

+Night light intensity ×0.15

+Night movie activity ×0.15

+Night activity of urban public transport ×0.1

= nightlife index

As a whole, except Qingdao and Hefei, there are 17 first-tier and new first-tier cities in the top 20 of the nightlife index. The other three seats in the top 20 are Foshan, Nanning and Xiamen.From the distribution of the north and the south, besides Beijing, Xi ‘an, Tianjin and Zhengzhou are among the top 20 cities in the north.

Night economy is usually composed of some offline formats with strong purposeful consumption. When we talk about the night economy, the scene that is often directly related is that people go to a place with a destination and spend money. In this context, whether it is shopping malls, markets, restaurants, bars, livehouse, cinemas and other cultural and leisure places, or night-friendly public transportation networks such as subways and buses, these offline facilities provide basic protection for urban people to be active at night.

Bar is a typical night format. Judging from this year’s data, Chengdu and Shenzhen are particularly worth mentioning.

In 2017, when the New First-tier City Research Institute launched the nightlife index for the first time, the number of bars in Chengdu was second only to Shanghai. By 2019, it surpassed Shanghai to rank first, and this year, it expanded its leading edge by more than 13% of the bars in Shanghai.

Another city, Shenzhen, ranked seventh in 2017 and sixth in 2019. This year, with 2063 bars, it jumped to the third place in the country. The number of bars has increased by more than 70% compared with 2017, making it the city with the largest increase in the number of bars.

The newly opened bars in the past year have two characteristics: First, a large number of taverns and craft bars have emerged, and among the newly opened bars in four first-tier cities in the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the proportion of clean bars has exceeded 70%-the newly opened bars have become smaller and quieter; The other is that light chain bar brands have appeared in various places, and gained a group of loyal fans through the online celebrity effect, such as Shanghai’s road shops and Yanjing community wine shops in Beijing.

Exhibitions and sports also provide more leisure and entertainment options for urban people at night.

Take the entertainment of going to livehouse for example. There are 10 cities with more than 20 Live Houses, and the supply of Shanghai and Beijing is still in an absolute dominant position. Although the performance market has not fully entered the recovery stage in the past year, the performance pattern of the head city still presents its own characteristics-Shanghai and Shenzhen have maintained rich diversity of performance categories, and Beijing’s Quyi performances are unique.

In the index of night activity of urban public transport, we count the night activity range of urban public transport, the average last bus time of subway and the number of active subway stations at night. Taking the number of active subway stations at night as an example, Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Chengdu and Hangzhou are among the best.

In addition, we continue to use the night lighting index to help judge the economic development of the city. Shanghai ranks first and is significantly higher than other cities, followed by Suzhou, Dongguan and Shenzhen.

After years of continuous data monitoring and tracking research, we also found that the development logic of night economy is gradually changing from content-oriented in the past, superimposed with high-quality services and experiences, to scene-oriented.

For example, in the past nightlife, everyone went to a place with a single scene for consumption. Nowadays, more and more nightlife takes place in some innovative fields such as restaurants, cultural centers and waterfront spaces. People can drink, socialize, watch exhibitions and listen to music at the same time, and have a lot of impromptu consumption.

At the same time, night is no longer limited to offline communication. People who wear masks at night, wait in front of the live broadcast room for orders at 123, and people who order take-away food to enjoy supper at home can also be called participants in the night economy. The online content of the night economy is becoming more and more abundant. Through the integration of online and offline scenes, the night economy also covers more people.

At the first Shanghai Nightlife CEO Conference and 24-hour Vibrant City Forum held on June 28th, Zhao Jia, deputy editor-in-chief of CBN and editor-in-chief of CBN magazine, made an in-depth analysis of the above trends. The following is an excerpt from the interpretation report:

Original title "What’s the next step of urban night economy? | Zhicheng Nightlife Index "

　　-Israel invaded Lebanon

　　On June 6, 1982, on the pretext that its ambassador to Britain was assassinated by Palestinian guerrillas, Israel dispatched more than 100,000 army, navy and air force to launch a large-scale attack on the Palestine Liberation Organization guerrillas and Syrian troops in Lebanon. It took only a few days to occupy half of Lebanon. This is the biggest war between Israel and Arab countries since the death of four Middle East wars, and it is called the "Fifth Middle East War".

　　War background

　　Generally speaking, the cause of the Lebanon-Israel war is still the continuation of the Palestinian dispute. The main purpose of Israel’s invasion of Lebanon is to destroy the Palestine Liberation Organization, seek to establish a pro-Israel regime in Lebanon and crowd out Syrian troops in Lebanon.

　　In order to establish their own country, the Palestinians established the Palestine Liberation Organization in May 1964 and launched a war with Israel. The PLO guerrillas are based in neighboring Arab countries, mainly in Syria and Lebanon. In 1970, the headquarters of the PLO and the main guerrilla force led by it entered Lebanon from Jordan, and later directly intervened in Lebanon’s domestic struggle, propped up and armed Islamic forces, and cracked down on pro-Israel Christian forces, gradually taking control of southern Lebanon and Beirut, the capital, and becoming a "country within a country". And build military facilities, attack and shell northern Israel from time to time, especially in the fourth Middle East War, the PLO guerrillas assisted Egyptian and Syrian troops to launch guerrilla warfare and attacked Israeli military bases, warehouses and radar stations. Become a menace to Israel.

　　In 1982, Israel felt that the time had come: first, the war between Britain and Oman broke out and became the focus of international attention; Secondly, the Iran-Iraq war continues, and the two countries have no time to take care of it. There are contradictions between Arab countries that support Iran and Iraq, and the Arab world has been torn apart; Third, the domestic situation in Syria, which may support and cooperate with the PLO in the war, is unstable, and there are also contradictions between Palestine and Syria; Fourth, we can use the pro-Israeli forces in Lebanon-Christian armed forces; Fifth, after the return of Sinai Peninsula, Egypt and Israel have reached a settlement, and Egypt will not get involved in the war.

　　The West Road is the main direction of the Israeli army, and has invested more than five brigades. The first echelon, with two armored brigades, each with 200 tanks and armored vehicles, set out from Nahariya and Rushhanikla, surrounded Sur in Nakura and Bint Jubail through the areas controlled by haddad militia and United Nations forces, and launched siege fighting with the cooperation of airborne troops and landing troops and Lebanese haddad militia.

On the 11th,The main force of the Israeli army arrived near Beirut International Airport, and the other part fought against the Syrian army.

Since then, Syria and Israel have stopped fighting. On the 12th, the Israeli army continued to attack the PLO position in the southern suburbs of Beirut, which met with stubborn resistance from the PLO armed forces. At 19: 00 GMT, the ceasefire between Israel and Palestine came into effect. Seven hours later, the two sides opened fire again. On the 13th, the Israeli army entered the eastern part of Beirut, and immediately, with the cooperation of the Phalangist militia, the Israeli army surrounded about 8,000 PLO guerrillas in the western and southern parts of Beirut.

　　With the middle road as the direction of assist, a brigade, the first echelon of the Israeli army, set out from Shemola area on the morning of 6th, crossed Haldali, surrounded Fort Shojaei, and the main force Nabatiyah attacked. On the afternoon of the same day, the Israeli army began to storm Fort Shojaei and conquered it at dawn on 7th. An armored brigade of the second echelon entered the battle, besieged Nabatiyah with the cooperation of paratroopers, and broke into the city at 9: 00 on the 7 th. A small number of troops started street fighting with the PLO guerrillas, and the main force continued to advance northward, and the day before yesterday, it went out to Jiejin area.

From September 9 to 11, Syria lost about 150 tanks in the battle.

　　2. Air combat in Bekaa Valley

　　In order to seize the air superiority, Israel decided to attack Syria’s missile base in Bekaa Valley to eliminate its air defense capability. This is also one of the main purposes of the Israeli invasion of Lebanon.

　　Bekaa Valley is located in the eastern part of Lebanon near the Syrian border. It is a long and narrow strip from south to north. The mountains on both sides of the valley are continuous and the terrain is dangerous. The main ground troops stationed in Lebanon are deployed here. In order to protect this unit from Israeli air strikes, Syria has deployed air defense units with Sam-6 missiles as the main equipment in the Bekaa Valley since May 1981.

　　At about 2 pm on June 9, the Israeli army dispatched 96 F-15 and F-16 fighter planes for high-altitude cover, and under the command of E-2C early warning aircraft, F-4 and A-4 attack planes bombed the missile base in the Bekaa Valley violently.

　　When the Syrian army learned of the Israeli air raid, it dispatched more than 60 MiG-21 and MiG-23 fighter jets from all over the country, gathered in Bekaa, and launched an air battle with the Israeli army. Due to the electronic interference of the Israeli army, the Syrian army aircraft lost contact with the ground after taking off, and the anti-aircraft missiles also lost control after launching. The quality and equipment of Israeli pilots were better than those of the Syrian Air Force, and they took the initiative in the air. However, the Syrian Air Force was inflexible in tactics and relied too much on the command of the ground command post, resulting in passive beatings in the air. On the first day of air combat, the Israeli army destroyed 19 positions of Syrian air defense missile company and shot down 29 Syrian aircraft. On the 10th, the Israeli army dispatched 92 planes of various types to attack the Syrian army’s Lebanese command post and the nearby air defense missile base. The Syrian army took off 52 planes to fight, and as a result, 25 planes were shot down and 7 air defense missile companies were destroyed. Syria has been operating in the Bekaa Valley for more than 10 years, and the air defense system costing $2 billion was destroyed, while Israel lost only 10 aircraft, including 6 drones and helicopters.

　　It took only eight days (June 6-13) for the Israeli army to advance more than 90 kilometers, occupy about 3,000 square kilometers of Lebanese territory, destroy all the bases of the PLO guerrillas in southern Lebanon, wipe out a large number of PLO effective forces, seize all the PLO warehouses in southern Lebanon, and surround the PLO headquarters with 2,000 people and 5,000 armed men in the west and south of Beirut. At the same time, it dealt a heavy blow to the Syrian army.

　　In the second stage (June 14th-September 15th), the PLO withdrew from the west area of Beirut, and the Israeli army won.

　　On June 14th, after fierce fighting, the Israeli army took control of the runway of the international airport. On June 16th, with the cooperation of the Phalangist militia, the Israeli army captured the Science College Building, an important stronghold for controlling the airport. On the 17th, the Israeli army shelled the international airport and nearby areas, took control of Hadile International Airport, and further reduced the siege of the PLO headquarters. On the 18th, the Israeli army announced a ceasefire to the besieged PLO, but demanded that it lay down its arms and withdraw from Beirut, which was rejected by the PLO. On the 22nd, the Israeli army attacked the Syrian army again, and occupied Hamdoon, forcing the Syrian army to retreat, thus tightly controlling the west area of Beirut.

　　From June 26th, the Israeli army continued to strengthen its troops surrounding the West Beirut and its defense against the Syrian army. By July 18th, the troops surrounding the West Beirut had increased to about 35,000 men in seven brigades, with about 700 tanks and 710 large-caliber artillery pieces. Trying to cooperate with political negotiations with military pressure, forcing the PLO to withdraw from Beirut West Area.

　　On June 27th, the seventh emergency special session of the General Assembly adopted a resolution demanding that Israel cease fire immediately and withdraw its troops from Lebanon unconditionally. At this time, in order to preserve its strength, the PLO agreed to leave Beirut West. On the 28th, the PLO put forward three conditions for Israel to withdraw from Lebanon: (1) Israeli troops should withdraw 5 kilometers from the south of Beirut; (2) Keeping a symbolic Palestinian military unit in the Lebanese army; (3) Keep the political structure of the PLO in Beirut. Israel rejected these three conditions, demanding that relevant PLO groups must surrender their arms to the Lebanese Army and all PLO members should withdraw from Beirut and Lebanon. On July 6, the PLO refused to be escorted by the US military, demanding that a multinational peace force be deployed in Beirut to escort the PLO armed forces to evacuate safely. On August 1st, the Israeli army captured the international airport, entered the museum area in the west area of Beirut on the 4th, surrounded the PLO headquarters building on the 5th, and bombed the PLO headquarters building on the 6th. During this period, the Israeli army also bombed the Bekaa Valley.

　　On August 12th, PLO announced its willingness to withdraw from Beirut West Zone. From August 21st to September 1st, more than 12,000 PLO headquarters and guerrillas were evacuated from Beirut West Zone to eight Arab countries including Jordan, Iraq, Tunisia, Sudan, Syria, Algeria, South Yemen and North Yemen. 25,000 Syrian soldiers stationed in Beirut West also withdrew to Bekaa Valley on August 30th and September 1st. From 21 to 25, French, American and Italian soldiers of the multinational force arrived in Beirut in batches to perform the task of guarding the withdrawal of the PLO and Syrian troops from the western part of Beirut. On September 10-13, the multinational forces also left Lebanon one after another.

　　On September 15th, the Israeli army moved into the west area of Beirut on the grounds that Lebanese President Bacher Gemayel was killed. Under the pressure of international public opinion, on September 29, the Israeli army withdrew, and multinational peace forces returned to Beirut West District to maintain order. But a large number of Israeli troops still occupy it. After five months of negotiations, Lebanon and Israel signed a withdrawal agreement. However, both Syria and the PLO opposed this agreement and the agreement was abolished. Since then, the Israeli army has unilaterally withdrawn from Lebanon in batches.

　　In this war, more than 3,000 people were killed or injured in the saline-alkali land of the PLO, more than 100 tanks were destroyed, 500 guns were fired, and more than 400 secret warehouses were occupied. The Syrian army suffered more than 1,000 casualties, lost more than 400 tanks and 58 aircraft.
