Zhongxin Jingwei Client, February 21st (Dong Xiangyi) The epidemic in COVID-19 is still going on. During the epidemic, the social security, medical insurance, pension and housing accumulation fund of employees of enterprises ushered in new policies. At the same time, various questions arise — — Does the postponement of provident fund affect employee withdrawal? Can the social security relief policy be paid in full and on time after implementation? Can pensions be paid in full and on time? The Sino-Singapore Jingwei client has been combed in detail.

　　Reducing enterprise social security premiums by over 500 billion yuan.

　　— — Ensure that the rights and interests of employees are not affected.

　　On February 18th, the executive meeting of the State Council proposed that the contributions of enterprises’ pension, unemployment and industrial injury insurance units should be reduced in stages to reduce the impact of the epidemic on enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises.

　　On February 20th, You Jun, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, introduced at the press conference of the State Council Office that the three departments studied and formulated the Notice on Phased Reduction and Exemption of Enterprise Social Insurance Premium, which clarified three measures of exemption, reduction and delay. Provinces can exempt the three social security unit contributions of pension, unemployment and work injury insurance for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the exemption policy will be implemented until June.

　　You Jun said that in the face of sudden epidemic, the phased reduction of social security contributions is a special measure to deal with epidemic emergencies, the first time in the history of social security in China, and it is also in line with the law.

　　Most importantly, the government has proposed to ensure that the rights and interests of employees are not affected and that all social security benefits are paid in full and on time.

　　At the same time, 1.3 trillion state-owned capital will "rush to help" the social security fund.

　　Yu Weiping, Vice Minister of Finance, said on the 20th that by the end of 2019, the central level had completed the transfer of state-owned capital of 81 central enterprises and central financial institutions in four batches, with the transferred state-owned capital of 1.3 trillion yuan, and the transfer at the local level was also being actively promoted. In the next step, we will complete the transfer work with relevant departments in a pragmatic and efficient manner.

　　According to You Jun, it is estimated that this phased relief can reduce the contributions of three social security enterprises by more than 500 billion yuan, compared with more than 400 billion yuan last year.

　　Reduce the medical insurance premium of employees

　　— — Ensure that the insured person’s current treatment is paid.

　　Chen Jinfu, deputy director of the National Health Insurance Bureau, said on the 20th that considering the local conditions, the provincial government will make a decision to halve the basic medical insurance premium paid by the unit in stages on the premise of ensuring the balance of funds and the long-term balance, and ensuring the conditions to be paid, from February to May at the longest. According to a preliminary calculation, the tax reduction measures can reduce the burden on enterprises by up to 150 billion yuan, which is effective in supporting enterprises to return to work and reducing the burden on enterprises.

　　Can the policy ensure the normal distribution of employee medical insurance? Chen Jinfu said that at present, the basic medical insurance for employees has the ability to support the measure of halving, which strongly supports the development of enterprises and also ensures the payment of the current benefits of the insured.

　　At the same time, Xiong Xianjun, director of the Department of Medicine Management of the National Medical Insurance Bureau, said that for some medical insurance handling businesses that cannot pay basic medical insurance premiums on time due to the epidemic, non-urgent matters will be postponed, and it is clear that insured units and individuals can postpone the payment of medical insurance premiums. The deferred payment period does not affect the enjoyment of medical insurance benefits.

　　Enterprises can postpone the payment of provident fund until June 30th.

　　— — Does not affect employees’ withdrawal and application for loans.

　　Ni Hong, vice minister of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, said on the 20th that it is clear in the three-stage support policies on housing provident fund that enterprises can apply for deferring the housing provident fund before June 30 according to regulations.During the holdover period, the deposit time is calculated continuously.Does not affect the normal withdrawal and application of housing provident fund loans for each employee.

　　At the same time, it is also beneficial to the rental group:Employees who are under pressure to pay rent can reasonably increase the amount of housing rent withdrawal and flexibly arrange the withdrawal time.

　　"Delayed payment of the provident fund will not have too much impact on property buyers or employees, so don’t worry too much. For medical staff, if the provident fund loan cannot be repaid normally, it will not be treated as overdue. " Yan Yuejin, research director of the think tank center of Yiju Research Institute, said.

　　It is worth noting that because many places will stipulate the "continuity" of social security and provident fund, the continuous payment period of the two is directly "linked" to the qualification of buying a house. Does the new policy of social security exemption and provident fund deferred payment affect the qualification of employees to buy houses?

　　Experts said that the phased reduction of social security fees is a government decision and government action. Therefore, it should not affect the calculation period for ordinary employees to pay social security continuously, and the reduction period should also be calculated into the period for determining the qualification of buying a house. I believe that government departments will have a good policy docking.

　　Pensions were reduced by 471.4 billion

　　— — To ensure timely and full payment.

　　Can pensions be paid on time during the epidemic? This official has given "reassurance". And see what voices the ministries have:

　　Yu Weiping said on the 20th that although the fund income has decreased due to the phased fee reduction policy, the overall impact is controllable, ensuring that pensions are paid in full and on time.

　　It is reported that the old-age insurance system is generally running smoothly. Although the pressure of fund income and expenditure has increased in some areas with the aging population, the accumulated balance of the fund is still increasing. By the end of 2019, the accumulated balance of the basic endowment insurance fund for enterprise employees nationwide was nearly 5 trillion yuan. The phased fee reduction policy introduced this time is expected to reduce pensions by 471.4 billion yuan.

　　Yu Weiping pointed out that this year, we will continue to increase subsidies to help local governments ease the pressure on the fund due to phased fee reduction; Strengthen the central adjustment of endowment insurance funds; Increase the transfer of some state-owned capital to enrich the social security fund; In addition, accelerate the establishment of a national overall planning system for basic old-age insurance, establish and improve a reasonable adjustment mechanism for basic old-age insurance premiums, and enhance the sustainability of the system.

　　The General Office of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security recently issued a notice, alsoIt is clearly required to ensure that all social insurance benefits are paid in full and on time..

　　Local human and social departments also made it clear that pensions would be paid on time. The Beijing Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security explicitly requested that the social security agencies at all levels in the city work with the social security issuing banks to ensure that the pensions of enterprise retirees in Beijing in February will be received on the 15th of this month.

　　"We will ensure that pensions are paid in full and on time, and earnestly safeguard the pension rights of retirees." Yu Weiping emphasized this. (Zhongxin Jingwei APP)

　　Compared with the "snarling" smog, ozone is much more "low-key" and quietly "hidden" in the clear sky of Wan Li, but it has become the culprit of atmospheric environmental pollution in many cities since it was included in the monitoring indicators in summer in recent years. Statistics of air quality in 74 cities across the country show that among all the days exceeding the standard in June 2015, the days with ozone as the primary pollutant were the most, exceeding the days with PM2.5 as the primary pollutant. In response, on July 23, Guangdong Province announced the air quality of urban environment in the second quarter of 2015, and ozone became the most common primary pollutant; According to media reports, ozone replaced PM2.5 as the primary air pollutant in nearly half of the pollution days in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei from June to August.

　　Why is PM2.5, which is well known and concerned by the public, "surpassed" by ozone? What harm does ozone do to human body?　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

　　1. "Low-key" ozone is more terrible than PM2.5

　　Experts believe that the invisible pollution of ozone should not be underestimated, and comprehensive measures should be taken to prevent it, just like smog.

　　"In fact, ozone pollution has become a new environmental protection issue that plagues the whole country." Wang Yuesi, a researcher at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said. At present, from a national perspective, there is one peak of ozone pollution in the north, while there are two peaks in the south every year. Even Xinjiang, Tibet and other regions are facing ozone pollution problems.

　　Compared with physical pollution such as black and smelly water pollution, yellow and black smoke pollution with pungent smell, and smog pollution mixed with fine particles, the public and even the environmental protection department have always taken colorless and odorless ozone pollution lightly.

　　But ozone is actually more terrible than PM2.5

　　Ozone can react with almost any biological tissue and is very destructive to the respiratory tract. According to the Canadian Center for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS), "ozone can irritate and damage the nasal mucosa and respiratory tract, which can cause chest tightness, cough, sore throat, asthma, aggravation of upper respiratory tract diseases, and may also lead to weakened lung function, emphysema and lung tissue damage, and these injuries are often irreparable." Therefore, for people with asthma, emphysema and chronic bronchitis, as long as they are exposed to low-concentration ozone, they may have obvious harm.

　　Similarly, ozone can also irritate the eyes, reducing visual sensitivity and vision. It will also destroy vitamin E in the skin and make the skin wrinkle and black spots. When the ozone concentration is above 200 μ g/m3, it will damage the central nervous system, causing headaches, chest pains and decreased thinking ability.

　　In addition, ozone will hinder the function of blood oxygen transmission, resulting in tissue hypoxia; Impairment of thyroid function and calcification of bones. Professor Paul Wentworth of Scripps Institute of Applied Science in the United States has done research and found that ozone can destroy the immune function of human body, induce chromosome aberration of lymphocytes, damage the activity of some enzymes and produce hemolytic reaction.

　　Even for plants, ozone is not a welcome good thing. Biologists from the University of Valencia, Spain, published a paper in 2006, suggesting that ozone will reduce the concentration of chlorophyll, carotenoids and carbohydrates in plants, which will affect photosynthesis and thus reduce the yield of crops.

　　2. The most dangerous population: pregnant women and children.

　　Because the proportion of ozone is about 1.66 times that of air, it often gathers in the lower space, so small children are the most direct victims.

　　Scientists in Southern California have conducted a five-year follow-up survey on 3,535 children aged 10 to 16, and found that in areas with high ozone concentration (the annual average concentration is between 112 and 138μg/m3), the incidence of asthma in children who often play three or four kinds of sports is twice as high as that in children who do not exercise. Especially, children with low birth weight or premature infants are more likely to be affected by ozone.

　　If the pregnant woman is exposed to ozone during pregnancy, the baby born may have congenital blepharoptosis (also called congenital microphthalmia, which is usually caused by the unsatisfactory development of fetal eyeball during the third month of pregnancy).

　　Another study called AHSMOG is aimed at adults. This study, which began in 1977, followed up 3091 adult non-smoking Americans aged 27-87 for 15 years. The results showed that men who were often exposed to ozone showed symptoms of lung damage. In addition, the incidence and mortality of lung cancer were closely related to long-term exposure to ozone.

　　3. The most dangerous place: the aircraft cabin.

　　Since ozone is so harmful, when is its high incidence?

　　According to the "State Key Laboratory of Organic Geochemistry" of Chinese Academy of Sciences, the timeliness and seasonality of ozone are obvious. The ozone concentration is very low in the early morning. After 8 o’clock, with more and more waste gas forming ozone and longer sunshine time, the ozone concentration gradually increases, reaching the peak between 14 o’clock and 16 o’clock, then slowly decreasing, and finally returning to the lowest state after 8 o’clock in the evening. During the year, the peak of ozone concentration is concentrated in summer. During this period, the formation of ozone can be described as "the right time, the right place and the right people": strong sunshine, less clouds and weak wind. This is the reason why people have throat, eyes and nose discomfort when they play when it seems sunny.

　　In terms of regional distribution, the ozone concentration in urban suburbs and scenic spots is often higher than that in the city center, especially when the suburbs are in the downwind of the city. In this regard, the experts’ explanation is that ozone is particularly lively and will continue to react with other pollutants after it is formed. Therefore, the increasing pollution discharge in the city center will temporarily "eat" ozone, turn it into other pollutants, and then drift to the suburbs with the wind and change it back into ozone. That is to say, even if the ozone concentration measured in the urban area is better than that in the suburbs, there is nothing to be proud of, which mostly shows that there are too many other pollutants in the urban area, which temporarily mutates the ozone.

　　The urban area is also polluted, and the scenic spots in the suburbs can’t escape. Where else can we stay? The advice of the World Health Organization (WHO) is: "Try not to expect to be outdoors when the ozone is high."

　　According to the test of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the ozone concentration indoors is generally 50% lower than that outdoors. If the room is well sealed and air conditioning system is adopted, the ozone concentration will be even lower. However, sparks from motor operation, xerography and the working process of TV set will turn some oxygen in the air into ozone. Therefore, mechanical and electrical rooms, electrostatic copier rooms, computer rooms, etc. are all places with high ozone incidence, but attention should be paid to ventilation.

　　There is also an "indoor" where ozone is concentrated-the airplane cockpit. The ozone in the engine room mainly comes from the atmospheric environment, and the ozone layer is mainly distributed in the atmosphere at an altitude of 10 km to 50 km, while the flying height of civil aircraft is generally 7 km to 12 km.

　　Modern large passenger planes are equipped with ozone removal systems, but it is still impossible to kill them all. The Canadian side has tested that when the Boeing plane flies at an altitude of 11,895 meters, the external ozone concentration is 3.57mg/m3, and the ozone concentration in the aircraft cabin is 0.29mg/m3. According to a survey funded by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the ozone content in the cockpit of Boeing 747, 727, 737, DC10 and DC9 is relatively high, and the ozone content in the cockpit of long-range aircraft is higher than that of short-haul aircraft. The leader of this survey is William nazarov, an environmental engineer at the University of California. He believes that the solution to the ozone problem in the cockpit is simple, that is, adding an ozone converter to the aircraft. "Unfortunately, not all airlines have this awareness, especially for old and small aircraft. Airlines are more concerned about flight safety."

　　4. How does ozone pollution come about?

　　Due to the increasingly obvious harm of ozone, the international safety standards for ozone are becoming stricter and stricter. The "maximum 8-hour daily average" of ozone stipulated by the European Union has dropped to 60nmol/mol (about 120 μ g/m3) in 2010, and the average number of days in a year cannot exceed this standard for more than 25 days. China’s newly revised Ambient Air Quality Standard in 2012 also added the ozone control standard: the daily maximum 8-hour average value is 100 μ g/m3 for Grade I and 160 μ g/m3 for Grade II.

　　However, it is impossible to assign a general safety value to everyone. "Personal physique, exercise frequency, time spent outdoors, and other pollutants in the air will all affect the harm degree of ozone, which is the headache for the research department." Professor Jerry Martin from the School of Public Health of the University of California explained, "More and more studies have proved that even if the ozone concentration is low, if the human body is exposed for a long time (6-8 hours), the harm will be equally serious. Moreover, ozone will also work in conjunction with other pollutants. For example, ozone will enhance the harm of PM (inhalable particulate matter) to the human body, and PM will also enhance the harm of ozone. "　　　　

　　"It is better to call it photochemical pollution than ozone pollution. Primary pollutants, such as volatile organic pollutants (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), which are discharged into the atmosphere by pollution sources such as automobiles and factories, absorb the energy of sunlight under strong ultraviolet irradiation, so that the original chemical chain is destroyed and photochemical reactions occur, resulting in secondary pollutants such as ozone and peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN). The mixture of primary pollutants and secondary pollutants involved in the photochemical reaction process is called photochemical smog. Ozone is the main component of photochemical smog. When people monitor these pollutants, ozone concentration is also the most important indicator. " China Meteorological Bureau introduced this in its official blog.

　　5. The governance is difficult, and the top-level design needs to be strengthened.

　　Ozone pollution is an international topic. After decades of treatment in Los Angeles, the situation has greatly improved, but ozone still exceeds the standard for several days every year. Different from the single ozone pollution in the United States, ozone and PM2.5 are intertwined and interact in China, and it is just starting, so it is more difficult to control.

　　At the same time, it is not easy to monitor ozone. Wen Yanping, director of Taiyuan Environmental Monitoring Center, said that volatile organic compounds are one of the important precursors of ozone. However, the monitoring work has just started, and its sources and emissions are still in the stage of research and analysis, investigation and research, and its control is also in a state of no standard in the country, immature technology and conscious enterprise.

　　In addition, ozone monitoring does not have standard gas like sulfur dioxide, so it can easily check the error of monitoring equipment, and it can only take the equipment to Shanghai and other cities to "test the equipment with equipment", which will affect the monitoring of ozone.

　　Comprehensive control measures of ozone pollution need further research and exploration. Wang Yuesi said that the formation mechanism of ozone is a nonlinear process. Precursors, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), which can promote ozone generation, must be treated first to control ozone. However, the atmospheric ozone concentration will be effectively reduced only if it is reduced in proportion, which is not easy to handle at present. If only one kind is reduced, it is possible that the ozone concentration will increase instead.

　　The Air Pollution Prevention Action Plan issued by the State Council in 2013 clearly stated that it is necessary to "strengthen the research on the formation mechanism, source analysis, migration law, monitoring and early warning of haze and ozone, and provide scientific support for pollution control". Experts in the industry believe that governments at all levels must attach great importance to ozone pollution, a new environmental protection topic, and should take comprehensive control measures on the basis of strengthening basic research and top-level design.

　　Environmental experts say that ozone prevention and control first needs top-level design. Chai Fahe, vice president of china environmental science Research Institute, and others believe that ozone precursors should be included in the national emission reduction targets, and a total control plan for volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides should be formulated. Chai Fahe said that ozone precursor is also a kind of precursor of PM2.5 secondary particles. Ozone and PM2.5 treatment should be combined, and comprehensive consideration should not be made. In addition, since ozone pollution is a photochemical pollution, the pollution is aggravated when the temperature is high, so ozone should also be considered when considering global warming.

　　Wang Yuesi also suggested the implementation of comprehensive regional management. Ozone precursors are highly mobile substances, and nitrogen oxides produced in one area may not be felt by local people, but float to other places to form ozone. The effect of ozone control in a single city will not be too obvious, and regional prevention and control mechanisms should be established in areas with serious ozone pollution such as five provinces in North China, Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta.

　　Chai Fahe said that the proportion of ozone precursors is different in different places, and even in the same city, the proportion between urban and suburban areas is different. All localities should make clear the ozone formation mechanism in different places, and find out the specific proportion of ozone precursors and the location of emission sources through monitoring, so as to "prescribe the right medicine". And this work needs the cooperation of environmental protection departments and scientific research institutions.

　　Experts also believe that from the technical level, the focus of ozone precursor control should be on "vehicles, oil, roads and factories": improving automobile exhaust emission standards, improving automobile exhaust devices and reducing emissions; Improve fuel quality; At the same time, gradually switch buses and taxis to gas; Control traffic congestion; Eliminate backward production capacity and control nitrogen oxides and volatiles emitted by coal-fired power plants, cement, coatings, ink printing plants and other enterprises.

　　Top-level design doesn’t mean that it has nothing to do with the general public. Do a little thing that everyone can do to protect the health of themselves and their families. The development of human society will always rise in a spiral curve. As long as we don’t escape and give up, there are always more ways than problems.

　　◆ Small information

　　Ozone is just one word short of oxygen that sustains human life, and one more o, but it is the difference between graphite and diamond. Yes, these two groups of things, which are as different as heaven and earth, are allotropes, that is, simple substances made of the same single chemical element but with different properties.

　　Because there is one more oxygen atom than oxygen, ozone is more oxidizing than oxygen. What is oxidation? The cut apple will turn brown after a while because it is oxidized by oxygen in the air; The girls’ tender faces are getting older day by day, which is the result of her body oxidation. Ozone is more oxidizing than oxygen. To what extent? Have you smelled chlorine in tap water and swimming pool? That’s for disinfection. It needs to be disinfected with ozone, which is stronger than chlorine. Therefore, the upper floors of household disinfection cabinets are disinfected by ozone.

　　Walking on the busy streets, we sometimes feel that the air is light brown with a pungent smell, which is commonly called photochemical smog, and ozone is one of the most important components in it. There are a lot of nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds in automobile exhaust and factory smoke, which combine with oxygen in the air and form ozone under the catalysis of sunlight radiation and temperature.　

Whether it’s a comprehensive detoxification treatment or just a good comfort and indulgence, there is never a lack of excellent spa choices in the world.

In the past year, hundreds of healthy and green spas opened around the world, which may indicate that spas have changed from pure luxury to an essential part of travel.

From the sunny Mediterranean coast of Sicily to the high-end spas in the Caribbean, CNN has selected ten new spas that they think are the best in the world based on service, treatment, facilities and environment.

This article is compiled with a few abridgements. Source: CNN

Rocco Forte Spa, Verdura Resort (Sicily, Italy)

This 43,000-square-foot spa located on the southwest coast of Sicily is different from other spas in Italy.

First of all, it has its own private coastline, and it can take a panoramic view of the Mediterranean from every angle.

Not surprisingly, seawater bath therapy is used here, using seawater and marine elements as elements of medicine and treatment.

There is a complete system of seawater bath therapy, with four outdoor swimming pools providing different degrees of salt and heat.

Such as seaweed body scrub ($130), which uses locally produced marine elements such as kelp, sea salt and microalgae to purify the body and detoxify.

In addition to sea bath therapy, there is also a sauna, a 65-foot swimming pool and a juice bar, which provides organic and antioxidant-rich juice all day.

The Ritz-Carlton Spa in Bali (Bali, Indonesia)

Only six months after its opening, the spa in the Ritz-Carlton in Bali has proved as impressive as the hotel.

The spa, made of rain wood and smooth marble, has an advanced spa massage pool with five different areas, which can massage different parts of the body.

There are also two massage pools, cold pools, steam and sauna rooms, and a yoga studio overlooking the Indian Ocean.

In addition to fourteen independent clinics, there are four private hot spring villas, and the SPA is also equipped with its own Balinese swimming pool and open-air lounge.

The course of treatment is a mixture of ancient Balinese techniques and modern technology, and local raw materials such as coconut, seaweed and pearls are mixed into it. It is said that these raw materials have nutritional and antioxidant effects.

Address:The Ritz-Carlton, Bali | Jalan Raya Nusa Dua Lot #3 Banjar Sawangan, Nusa Dua 80363 Indonesia

The SPA, which opened at the end of last year, is located on the sixth and seventh floors of Le Meridien Gaulle, covering an area of 11,000 square feet. It is the largest spa in the city.

There is an indoor swimming pool with hydrotherapy massage and waterfall, Turkish bath, ice room and even a salt room, which is made of sea salt imported from Himalaya (it is said to promote better breathing).

But what attracts guests is the high-tech treatment here: the use of the cutting-edge Japanese formula Skingenecell 1P, which is said to be the most advanced element that can repel skin damage and aging.

Do you want to keep a low profile afterwards?

Try the Zen bath ceremony in the hot spring ($285). Two hours of soaking in rich minerals is definitely a perfect experience.

Spa at Bernardus Lodge (Carmel Valley, California, USA)

The view from Bernardus Lodge’s new spa is worth the ticket price.

Located in the center of Monterey wine district, the spa is surrounded by 28 acres of sunny vineyards, orchards and oak forests.

It has all the advantages of a five-star spa: a huge swimming pool, an outdoor jacuzzi, a eucalyptus steam room, a shower using Vichy mineral water, a dry steam room and an advanced 24-hour fitness center.

But what really makes this spa stand out is its concept of "from garden to treatment", picking materials from its own organic garden for treatment.

From face to pedicure, it is full of lavender, mint, rosemary and Chardonnay grapes collected from vineyards.

Guests can even soak in the Chardonnay bubble bath.

Address:Bernardus Lodge & Spa | 415 West Carmel Valley Road, Carmel Valley, CA 93924

Opened in September last year, this two-story space is more like a comprehensive health center than a hotel spa.

Two outdoor massage baths, an 80-foot-long swimming pool (almost the size of the Olympic Games), several heat treatment areas and a 1,300-square-foot gym, which is the largest spa in Ho Chi Minh City.

Like the hotel, this spa is exceptionally gorgeous, completely covered with carrara marble, hand-inlaid mosaics and gold.

The treatment is also luxurious, ranging from mother-of-pearl body scrub ($90) to top-class couples treatment including red wine body dressing and candlelight massage, with champagne and caviar snacks ($820).

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.

　　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.

　　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.
