Re-investigation on the chaos of prepaid card consumption: well-known enterprises "say it and fall"

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, May 28th Title: Well-known enterprises "fall down when they say it", and virtual cards become new "slots" — — Re-investigation of prepaid card consumption chaos

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Yang Yang

  "Beauty, what about swimming and fitness?" I believe many people have heard of similar "strike up a conversation". Merchants use various discounts to attract you to spend money on cards, but once you pay for it, you may fall into a ring-by-ring routine … …

  According to the reporter’s investigation, as an emerging business model, prepaid card consumption is favored by many businesses because of its convenience and benefits. However, the deep-seated reasons, such as the blind spot in the prepaid card filing system, light punishment and imperfect credit information system, have led to frequent chaos and repeated prohibitions in this field, and some well-known enterprises are also involved.

  Well-known enterprises "say it, but they will fall", but they are still applying for new cards when they can’t pay.

  "If you come to apply for a card today, you can enjoy the lowest price, buy it for two years and get it for one year!" In March this year, Mr. Gao spent 2,700 yuan on a three-year fitness card in Beijing Haosha Fitness Jinsong Store.

  However, after the May 1 ST, this well-known chain gym has had problems such as the cancellation of group exercises, the closure of swimming pools, the disconnection of power and hot water, and the failure of equipment without maintenance. "Seven out of 10 treadmills are broken, and the front desk still shows ‘ Direct entry without swiping the card ’ Brand. " A member told reporters.

  Even so, the gym is still selling cards. According to members’ memories, on May 6th, Xiaoli, a salesman, was still soliciting guests in a circle of friends. Later, according to another salesperson, in March this year alone, the store’s sales reached more than 500,000 yuan.

  The gym can’t be used normally, and many members have proposed to return their cards. However, Mr. Gao found that the contract said, "This is a special card, and it can’t be returned." After rummaging through his pockets, he realized that he didn’t even give the payment receipt and invoice. Mr. Shan, the operation manager of the gym, said: "The company has no money and can’t refund the fee."

  According to the national enterprise credit information publicity system, "Beijing Haosha Jianli Fitness Service Co., Ltd." on the official seal of the membership card agreement was listed in the business exception list of the industrial and commercial departments on April 30 this year, and its shareholder Haosha Ai Ya (Beijing) Fitness Service Co., Ltd. was also listed in the business exception list on March 20. The reporter called the company’s reserved phone number several times, but never contacted the senior person in charge.

  Relevant sales staff of Haosha Jinsong Store revealed that due to the break of the company’s capital chain, some stores in Beijing will be closed.

  The relevant person in charge of Shuangjing Industrial and Commercial Office of Chaoyang Branch of Beijing Administration for Industry and Commerce told the reporter that the industrial and commercial department is negotiating with Haosha Fitness to solve related problems. Haosha Jinsong Store will be taken over by other companies, but this company can only provide services and cannot handle the refund problem. If you really need a refund, it is recommended to go to court as soon as possible.

  Small enterprises are the hardest hit areas for complaints, and virtual cards become new "slots"

  The "Analysis of Complaints Accepted by National Consumers Association in 2018" released by China Consumers Association shows that life and social services rank first in service complaints. In the field of service segmentation, remote shopping, beauty salons, catering, maintenance and repair, and fitness services are all on the list.

  By combing typical cases in various places, the reporter found that prepaid card consumption disputes are mainly concentrated in the service industry, especially in the fields of beauty salons, fitness, photography, car beauty, catering, etc. Among them, some small-scale enterprises have become the hardest hit areas for running away and disputes.

  "The money in the prepaid card is the money that consumers deposit in the other party’s account in advance to fulfill multiple contracts. It should be consumed once, and the operator deducts money from the card once. " Heshan, president of china law society Consumer Rights Protection Law Research Association, said.

  "But in real life, prepaid transactions are gradually deviating from the original intention, becoming a means for illegal operators to infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, resulting in a large number of legal disputes." Wang Jijin, supervisor of Beijing Lawyers Association and lawyer of Construction Law Firm, said.

  In addition, the reporter’s investigation found that with the development of mobile Internet, online prepaid consumption has gradually become a new complaint "slot". Recently, a number of consumers told reporters that they had booked flowers for several months in their lives, but they found that the applet was offline after not receiving it several times.

  Liu Junhai, a professor at the Law School of Renmin University of China, said that the low cost of corporate dishonesty and the high cost of consumer rights protection led to a significant increase in prepaid arbitrage.

  Education, fitness and other industries are not included in the record, and combination boxing is needed to control the chaos.

  In response to the frequent chaos of prepaid cards in various places, as early as September 2012, the Ministry of Commerce issued the Measures for the Administration of Single-use Commercial Prepaid Cards (Trial), requiring card-issuing enterprises to go to the competent commercial authorities at all levels for filing within 30 days from the date of launching the single-use card business, and implement a fund depository system for related enterprises, and deposit funds in commercial banks according to a certain proportion of the funds received in advance. Once the violation occurs, it can form a constraint on enterprises.

  "But the reality is that there is a lack of supervision over the subsequent use of depository funds. In addition, the measures only involve ‘ Retail, accommodation and catering, residential service ’ Three industries, but there is no coverage for high-incidence areas such as fitness, beauty salons, education, entertainment, online car, and individual industrial and commercial households. " Wang Jijin said that in addition, a fine of less than 30,000 yuan will be imposed on the illegal acts of card issuing enterprises or card selling enterprises, which is relatively light and difficult to play a deterrent role.

  Heshan suggested raising the threshold for issuing prepaid cards for a large number of individual industrial and commercial households, for example, stipulating that operators should pay a deposit or provide corresponding guarantees in order to obtain the right to issue cards.

  Qiu Baochang, an expert from the Expert Committee of China Consumers Association, suggested setting a qualification threshold for card-issuing merchants and their main managers, such as requiring operators to have no major violations of laws and regulations and no bad records of fraudulent consumer behavior. Wang Jijin suggested: "Establish a blacklist system as soon as possible, register and publicize untrustworthy enterprises and individuals, and raise the threshold in handling industrial and commercial licenses."

  Some insiders also believe that the mode of prepayment leads to the one-way risk of consumers, and this consumption mode can be abandoned. Commercial enterprises should rely on improving services instead of paying in advance and then discounting to tie consumers down.

The specific arrangements will be notified separately.

    (B) Enterprise-side upgrade work

    All localities should complete the upgrading of the enterprise-side billing system from October 1st to November 30th, 2008. For different versions of the billing system, the upgrading methods are different. The specific methods are as follows:

    1 for enterprises that have been upgraded to a multi-ticket system, in principle, enterprises should use the upgrade CD to complete the software upgrade themselves. The upgraded CD-ROM will be distributed free of charge when the enterprise participates in the training. In case of unsuccessful upgrade or abnormal system, local service units will provide free on-site upgrade service.

    2. For enterprises that have not been upgraded to a multi-ticket system with one machine, the upgrading scheme shall refer to the requirements of documentNo. [2006]78 of the State Administration of Taxation.

    4. The tax authorities need to load the bottom layer of the golden tax card and upgrade the upper layer software to open the special VAT invoice system on behalf of the tax authorities, and the tax authorities will assist the service units to complete it together.

    Third, the system operation

    From October 1, 2008, the national tax system must use the red-ink invoice notice management system to issue the Notice of Issuing Special VAT Invoices in Red-ink (hereinafter referred to as the Notice), and stop using the original method to issue the Notice. Enterprises must complete the upgrading of the billing system before November 30, 2008, and the upgraded enterprises will use the new billing system to issue red-ink VAT invoices from the date of upgrading.

    IV. Relevant requirements

    (1) From October 1, 2008, all competent tax authorities shall designate relevant post personnel to issue and manage the Notice through the upgraded VAT anti-counterfeiting and tax-controlled tax terminal system. The abnormal information found in the issuance and verification of the Notice and the verification of tax returns shall be promptly transferred to the audit and inspection post by the relevant post personnel for verification and handling.

    (II) According to the actual situation of the trial operation of the red-ink invoice notice management system, the State Administration of Taxation has revised the application form for issuing special red-ink VAT invoices and the notice form. See the annex for the new form format. From October 1, 2008, the new form will be uniformly used for enterprises that newly apply for issuing special red-ink VAT invoices.

    (3) The certified invoices are special VAT invoices that cannot be certified, and the certified post personnel must confirm and save the results that cannot be certified in the certification subsystem.

    (4) When the enterprise declares, the personnel who declare the collection post shall strictly examine whether the red-ink special VAT invoice has been issued and obtained the effective Notice, and those who have not obtained the effective Notice shall be transferred to the examination post in time, and the examination post personnel shall check and deal with it in accordance with relevant regulations.

    (5) After the upgrading of the enterprise billing system, the Notice issued in the original way must be issued before November 30, 2008, and after December 1, 2008, it can no longer be used as the basis for issuing red-ink VAT invoices. For the Notice issued by the original method, when issuing a special red-ink VAT invoice, the number of the Notice must be entered according to the 16-digit coding rule, which is: 1234569911+6 digits of the Notice number issued by the original method (if the number of the Notice issued by the original method exceeds 6 digits, the next 6 digits will be taken; If it is less than 6 digits, then add 0 before the original number).

    (VI) The upgrade involves a wide range and the time is short. Local tax authorities should attach great importance to it, seriously organize and implement it, do a good job in publicity and guidance for taxpayers by various means, and supervise local service units to distribute CDs to all enterprises free of charge. It is not allowed to charge various fees or tie-in equipment by this upgrade.

    Please contact the call center of the State Administration of Taxation (400-811-2366) if there are any problems in the implementation of the local governments.

Hong Kong will digitize Bruce Lee and other early films, which are expected to be shown in 2020 at the earliest.

  BEIJING, April 28 (Xinhua) According to Hong Kong’s Ming Pao, since the beginning of the last century, Hong Kong has produced more than 10,000 films, of which 4,000 have become the collections of the Hong Kong Film Archive. In 2019, the Hong Kong Budget allocated HK$ 20 million, which enabled the Film Archive to digitize an additional 30 films each year. The museum revealed that 10 of them will be digitized in the first year after the grant, including Bruce Lee’s early films and Huang Feihong’s film series, which are expected to be released to the public as soon as 2020-2021.

  Yang Kexin (left), director of the Hong Kong Film Archive, said that he has been collecting film from different sources, and the collection now covers 4,000 films. . Image source: Hong Kong Ming Pao/photo by Zhong Linzhi

  Digital movies contain martial arts, detective, horror and other themes.

  Yang Kexin, director of the Film Archive, said that the digitized films mainly came from the 1950s and 1960s, and most of them had only one copy or negative, hoping that digitization could preserve these orphan copies.

  In 1950s and 1960s, Hong Kong’s film industry flourished. In the first year after the film archive was funded, many digital films were produced during this period. Ten films included Bruce Lee’s early films, Kwan Tak-hing’s Huang Feihong series, Chen Baozhu’s "Jane Bond Film" and "Ghost Talented Director" Gongliang Yang’s horror films.

  Yang Kexin said that most of the films digitized after the grant were orphans, and many of them were never shown after being collected. "If you get a copy, you will try not to use it, because every time the film is broadcast by the projector, it will inevitably be worn out.".

  Yang Kexin said that he has been collecting films from different sources. In recent years, the most important batch came from a San Francisco theater, which was Hong Kong film before the 1930s and 1940s, and it was a very important cultural heritage.

  She said that among the 4,000 films, about 170 films have digital versions. In the past, 20 films could be digitized every year. After funding, more manpower and resources can be increased, and 30 more films can be made every year. "The goal is that 1/10 of the collections will have digital versions in five years."

  Hire young technicians to inherit the film restoration technology

  The film should be preserved, and the technology of repairing film and film repair should also be passed on. Before the film is digitized, it is necessary to check whether the film is damaged. Yang Kexin said that film repair is a professional technology. At present, several technicians in their twenties and thirties joined the museum two or three years ago, and some of them were "laymen". Only after they joined the museum did they learn from Master to check and repair damaged films.

  After the film is digitized, it may need to be digitally restored to improve the quality of sound and pictures. Yang Kexin said that unlike commercial restoration, the restoration in the museum is based on the principle of restoration, "it will not be better than the released version of that year".

  Yang Kexin said that the film archive will study whether it needs to be expanded, but it is a long-term plan. "We need to consider whether more people and more places are needed to place the collections, but this needs to be linked to the growth of the collections." The space of the data library is limited, so it is not necessary to expand the scope of the museum. We can also find warehouses outside the museum to store the collections.

Focus interview: China’s bright economic start series measures to ensure the recovery momentum of consumption

  Cctv news(Focus Interview): In a few days, the two sessions of the National People’s Congress will open. What achievements we have made in the past year and what new arrangements will be made in the future are of general concern to the society. The Spring Festival just passed in Jiachen was full of popularity and consumption. China’s economy can be said to be a bright start, which greatly increased people’s confidence. But the road of economic recovery is not easy for us. How to expand domestic demand, especially to make consumption better stimulate economic growth? While restoring the economy, how to better promote high-quality development in various fields? Over the past year or so, China has issued a series of powerful and effective policies. From February 29th, Focus Interview will launch a series of programs — — Accurate policy has achieved results. First of all, let’s pay attention to promoting consumption and grasping innovation. What is the effect?

  The Year of the Loong Spring Festival, the consumer market ushered in a "good start".

  Watch folk performances, enjoy lanterns and visit temple fairs … … A dazzling array of festival activities ignited people’s enthusiasm. If we use one word to describe the consumer market, I’m afraid the most suitable one is — — Fire!

  Holiday consumption is an important window to observe the consumption trend. During the 8-day Spring Festival holiday, there were 474 million domestic tourist trips, up by 34.3% year-on-year. The total spending of domestic tourists increased by 47.3% year-on-year, and the box office of Spring Festival movies also reached a new high, reaching 8.016 billion yuan.

  Dong Wei, Executive Vice President of Tsinghua University China Institute of Development Planning:"The consumption of this year’s Spring Festival holiday is hotter than expected, combining the traditional custom of going home for the New Year with travel consumption. The popularity of consumption during the Spring Festival also shows that on the one hand, China people are willing to spend; On the other hand, we can also provide support for various consumption scenarios. "

  Behind the fiery holiday consumption is people’s longing for a better life, and it also hides huge consumption potential. However, the process of stimulating this potential in the post-epidemic era is not smooth sailing. At the end of last year, the Central Economic Work Conference pointed out that it is necessary to overcome some difficulties and challenges to further promote the economic recovery, mainly due to insufficient effective demand, overcapacity in some industries, weak social expectations, still many hidden risks, blockage in the domestic macro-cycle, and rising complexity, severity and uncertainty of the external environment.

  Wei Zhang, Vice President of Research Institute of Ministry of Commerce:"The expected weakening of residents’ income will relatively lead to consumer demand or weakening consumer confidence; On the other hand, while consumers pursue more diversified and personalized consumption, consumption tends to be more rational. "

  How to better expand domestic demand in the first year? The CPC Central Committee has made a series of decisions and arrangements, giving priority to restoring and expanding consumption. In 2023, the "Several Measures on Promoting Household Consumption" jointly issued by many departments, as well as measures to promote mass consumption of electronic products and automobiles, were introduced one after another. The financial sector introduced policies to help promote consumption, and the Ministry of Commerce also organized a series of activities to boost consumption, and tried every means to innovate products and services.

  Wei Zhang:"Innovation is divided into many aspects, whether it is marketing innovation of operators, product innovation of producers, service innovation of service providers, etc., including scene innovation as a consumer carrier, all innovations are the most effective ways to stimulate consumption potential."

  Last year, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the "Measures for Restoring and Expanding Consumption", also known as the "20 Articles" for promoting consumption, which proposed to lead and create new market demand with high-quality supply.

  In the past few years, the cluster consumption of tourism and catering was the most affected, but it was also the most obvious recovery after the epidemic subsided. Since last year, in order to boost tourism consumption, all policies have focused on a "new" word. For example, create new scenes and create new experiences.

  In this scenic spot in Xi ‘an, visitors can take the stage to interact with actors and take part in answering questions.

  In this immersive tourist scene, tourists can not only wear tang style costumes to punch in and take photos, but also participate in a Tang drama, which is no longer just a spectator.

  In 2023, all localities will continue to promote the deep integration of sports, music, special food and tourism, create new consumption hotspots, and make new progress in expanding digital consumption mentioned in the "20 Articles" on promoting consumption. The continuous maturity of new technologies is constantly giving birth to new formats and new products. During the Spring Festival in the Year of the Loong, the 3D UAV performance has become the "new favorite" of many scenic spots, and this performance is based on modern technology. Every UAV has to receive satellite positioning information accurate to nanoseconds, which requires powerful computing power.

  Among the "20 Articles" to promote consumption, four are specifically aimed at expanding service consumption, including expanding catering service consumption and improving health service consumption. With the continuous upgrading of people’s consumer demand and the effective implementation of the consumption promotion policy, in 2023, China’s service retail sales increased by 20% year-on-year, 14.2 percentage points faster than the retail sales of goods, showing outstanding performance. In the future, service consumption still has a lot of room for growth.

  Wei Zhang:"In terms of consumption itself, the increment lies in two ‘ New ’ In fact, it is either innovation from nothing to something. In fact, there is a shortage of service consumption from the original service consumption. With the development of economy and society, many new service consumption demands have emerged, which is part of the increase. There are still some increments, but the supply level can’t meet the growth of consumer demand well. The improvement of service supply capacity and level will also increase new service consumption demand. "

  How to expand domestic demand in 2024? At the end of last year, the Central Economic Work Conference proposed to stimulate potential consumption, expand effective investment, and form a virtuous circle in which consumption and investment promote each other.

  Dong Wei:"Through good investment, we will continue to lead and create new consumption hotspots. At the same time, through the driving role of consumption, we will also point out the direction for investment and make investment develop in a more rewarding direction. By constantly finding the combination between consumption and investment, we will promote the cycle between these two tasks and promote domestic demand to a new level as a whole. "

  In January this year, the Ministry of Commerce and others jointly issued the Notice on Improving the Recycling System of Renewable Resources such as Waste Household Appliances and Furniture to further release the consumption potential of household appliances and furniture, and various localities and departments have also introduced a series of measures to further stimulate consumption vitality.

  While promoting the recovery of consumption and investment and stabilizing economic growth, it is also an important direction for China’s high-quality economic development since 2023 to promote industrial innovation with scientific and technological innovation, especially to promote new industries, new models and new kinetic energy with subversive technologies and cutting-edge technologies.

  During the Spring Festival this year, the highly anticipated C919 domestic large aircraft served Spring Festival travel rush for the first time.

  C919 is the first jet trunk airliner with independent intellectual property rights developed by China according to the internationally accepted airworthiness standards. After years of research and development, on May 28th last year, C919 successfully completed the first commercial flight, and Chinese finally realized his "big plane dream", which also became an important achievement of China’s innovation-driven strategy.

  However, at present, there are still some shortcomings in China’s scientific and technological innovation. In the future, if we want to stay behind in the new track of international competition and strive to achieve and run or even lead, we must firmly grasp the "bull nose" of independent innovation. In 2023, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader first put forward the concept of "new quality productivity", which pointed out the direction for us to cultivate new kinetic energy and shape new advantages.

  Dong Wei:"In the past, for an enterprise, building a factory building, land, workshops, equipment, etc., these inputs accounted for the bulk of the investment, which means that production mainly relied on traditional factor inputs. What is more important for the new quality productivity? It relies on innovation. By playing a greater role in development through innovative elements, economic benefits and efficiency can actually be improved faster. "

  Scientific and technological innovation is the key to develop new quality productive forces. In 2023, China established the Central Science and Technology Commission, re-established the Ministry of Science and Technology, deepened the reform of the science and technology system, and accelerated the realization of high-level science and technology self-reliance. In this year, China’s investment in high-tech industries increased by 10.3%, 7.3 percentage points faster than the total investment, which provided solid support for the development of new kinetic energy. According to the report released by the World Intellectual Property Organization, in 2023, China’s ranking in the global innovation index rose to 12th, and the number of the top 100 scientific and technological innovation clusters in the world jumped to the first place in the world for the first time.

  Dong Wei:"By setting up new institutions, increasing investment in basic research, and accelerating the reform of the system and mechanism of scientific and technological innovation, we can see that in the past year, the importance attached to innovation in different fields has been continuously improved, and the channel for opening up scientific and technological achievements to industry has also been smoother. All these make innovation and industry more closely integrated, and the capital chain, industrial chain and innovation chain will be more closely integrated, which will play a very important supporting role in the cultivation and growth of new quality productivity. "

  In 2023, China established the National Data Bureau, and the digital economy became an important engine to promote the high-quality development of China’s economy. By the end of 2023, China had built 3.377 million 5G base stations. Digital infrastructure construction represented by 5G, industrial Internet and data center has developed rapidly.

  This year, China’s 5.5G network is expected to achieve large-scale commercialization, new progress has been made in humanoid robots and quantum technology, and generative artificial intelligence has been iteratively upgraded. Actively cultivating such future industries is also an important part of new quality productivity.

  This year, seven departments, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, jointly issued the "Implementation Opinions on Promoting Future Industrial Innovation and Development", proposing to focus on promoting industrial development in six major directions, including future manufacturing and future information. When deploying this year’s work, all localities and departments have also placed an important position on accelerating the cultivation of new industries and developing new quality productivity.

  Dong Wei:"We should take the development direction of these future industries as an important breakthrough to lead the development of new quality productive forces, and concentrate resources and all aspects of strength on supporting the development and growth of these future industries, so as to urge them to form a scale as soon as possible. It is necessary to cultivate new tracks like the cultivation of new energy vehicles in the past, and cultivate more new pillar industries of the national economy, so that China’s economy can truly occupy the commanding heights and truly realize the goals and tasks of Chinese modernization. "

  Since 2023, China’s economy has been climbing over the hill, and we have been insisting on promoting high-quality development: from comprehensively promoting rural revitalization to promoting coordinated regional development, from actively promoting high-level opening up to better overall development and security, from comprehensively deepening reform to ensuring people’s happiness and well-being, with clear goals and full determination. On the new journey, facing the challenges on the way forward and promoting Chinese modernization with high-quality development, we are confident to win the initiative and win the future.

Experts’ Interpretation: Working with the international community to control the environmental problems of new pollutants

  New pollutants endanger the ecological environment and human health, which is one of the global environmental problems. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council attached great importance to the treatment of new pollutants. Recently, the General Office of the State Council issued the Action Plan for the Treatment of New Pollutants (Guo Ban Fa [2022] No.15, referred to as the Action Plan), which pointed out the direction for the treatment of new pollutants in the future. The Action Plan embodies China’s idea of actively participating in global environmental governance, which is of great significance for building a beautiful China and building a community of life on earth.

  First, new pollutants are a common challenge facing the world.
  The environmental risk of new pollutants is an environmental problem faced by all countries in the world. The new pollutants mainly come from synthetic chemicals. DDT revealed by Silent Spring is one of the chemicals with typical new pollutant characteristics, and its harm spans half a century and involves every corner of the world. In order to protect the ecological environment and human health, developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan have been legislating to control the environmental risks of toxic and harmful chemicals since the 1970s. In 1992, Agenda 21 of Rio Conference on Environment and Development in Brazil defined the plan to reduce the global environmental risks related to chemicals, and then the world gradually took action and controlled some new pollutants with long-distance migration that may cause environmental and health hazards to the world. Among the 17 sustainable development goals for 2030 reached by the United Nations in 2015, Goals 3, 6 and 12 all involve the treatment of new pollutants, such as drastically reducing the number of deaths and illnesses caused by toxic and harmful chemicals and air, water and soil pollution by 2030.
  The treatment of some new pollutants needs global action. Besides being persistent, bioaccumulative, carcinogenic and teratogenic, some new pollutants also have the potential of long-distance migration, which can migrate across international boundaries with air, water or migratory species and be deposited in areas far away from their discharge points, causing worldwide environmental pollution problems. The treatment of such new pollutants requires global joint action. Therefore, the international community adopted the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants in 2001. At present, there are 30 categories of persistent organic pollutants controlled by Stockholm Convention. Through global action, more than ten kinds of production and use have been eliminated all over the world.
  Second, controlling new pollutants will be a long-term task.
  New pollutants cover a wide range and are closely related to economic development and production and life. China is a big producer and exporter of chemicals. According to UNEP’s Global Chemicals Outlook, China’s chemical sales accounted for 37.2% of the world’s total in 2017, and it is expected to reach 50% of the world’s total in 2030. China is the main producer of chemicals newly listed in Stockholm Convention and under evaluation, such as short-chain chlorinated paraffin, decabromodiphenyl ether, DechloranePlus, chlorpyrifos and ultraviolet absorber (UV-328). These chemicals are consumed and used in many industries, and some chemicals are closely related to necessities such as agricultural production, daily necessities, semiconductors, aerospace products, etc. For example, the annual production scale of short-chain chlorinated paraffins can reach millions of tons, and chlorpyrifos is related to agricultural production and food security. However, it is difficult to develop their substitutes, and there may be conflicts in availability, performance, cost, environment and safety, so it is difficult to achieve perfection, which brings great challenges to the control of new pollutants in the future.
  One of the greater challenges to control new pollutants is to identify, evaluate and control the chemicals being produced and used. Both the Toxic Substances Control Act of the United States and the Regulation of Registration, Evaluation, Licensing and Restriction of Chemicals of the European Union have been faced with huge data and research and evaluation needs since their implementation, and have not fully achieved the control objectives of the original design regulations on new pollutants. At the level of international conventions, the Stockholm Convention only added 18 categories of persistent organic pollutants in 17 years. China is one of the countries with the richest types of chemicals. The existing chemical list includes more than 40,000 kinds, and nearly 100 new chemicals are listed every year. Limited research information shows that according to the screening criteria of Stockholm Convention, there are more than 100 chemicals in the above list that meet the screening criteria of persistence and bioaccumulation at the same time, and these hundreds of chemicals are potential new pollutants that need to be controlled. Although the contribution of China’s research results has been increasing in the process of adding new controlled substances to the Stockholm Convention, China still needs to carry out a large number of data surveys, environmental monitoring, environmental risk assessment and control in the future, and increase the pace of controlling the environmental risks of new pollutants.
  To sum up, new pollutants involve substitution and emission reduction, large industrial scale and long industrial chain, and are closely related to industrial and agricultural production and life. Protecting the ecological environment and human health and balancing the needs of economic development is an important basis for formulating and implementing new pollutant control programs. The identification and assessment of new pollutants that potentially need to be controlled depends on data investigation, a large number of scientific research results, environmental risk assessment and socio-economic impact assessment of control. The task of controlling new pollutants requires all-round coordinated promotion, which is extremely arduous.
  Third, work with the international community to prevent environmental risks of new pollutants.
  As early as 2001, China and the international community jointly promoted the formulation of the Stockholm Convention, and started cooperation with the international community to jointly control new pollutants. In the past twenty years, China has eliminated the production, use and discharge of a large number of new pollutants, protecting the global ecological environment and human health. During the same period, the national economy grew rapidly, and the share of chemicals produced increased from about 5% in the world to 37.2% in 2017, making it one of the countries with the largest chemical production and the most varieties, and people’s lives have been improved. At the same time, China is also facing new challenges and pressures. With the progress of scientific cognition and the demand for higher quality of life, some chemicals that we used to think were harmless are gradually considered unsuitable for further production and use. By implementing the Action Plan, China will work with the international community to prevent the environmental risks of new pollutants.
  First, learn from the existing international convention mechanism and implement the control of new pollutants in accordance with international law. While perfecting China’s laws and regulations, establishing and perfecting the new pollutant control system, we should use the mechanism of international conventions to identify, evaluate and control the environmental risks of chemicals together with the international community, which will not only realize the control of new pollutants in China, but also promote the action of new pollutant control on a global scale, promote the green development of the global chemical industry and realize global environmental governance.
  The second is to increase the scientific and technological investment of the state and enterprises in the treatment of new pollutants, scientific decision-making, and precise control. Fully understanding the decision-making information such as scientific research is the foundation of controlling new pollutants, continuously increasing the scientific and technological investment of the state and enterprises in controlling new pollutants, mastering the source, fate, harm and control technology of potential new pollutants, making scientific decisions, and realizing accurate and effective control.
  The third is to make use of international scientific research and management experience, evaluate and screen out key new pollutants as soon as possible, and establish a mechanism to implement control. Actively carry out international cooperation, and make full use of global forces, especially scientific research and management experience, to promote and accelerate the screening of new pollutants and environmental risk management and control in China, in view of some potential new pollutants that may not meet the global migration attributes, in the case of insufficient research information in China. At the same time, learn from the financial mechanism of international conventions, and establish international, national, local and enterprise financial mechanisms to control new pollutants.
  Fourth, we will continue to help other developing countries strengthen their ability to control new pollutants, spread China’s knowledge and China’s experience, and prevent the transfer of new pollutants. As a developing country, China’s experience in the discovery, research and management of new pollutants may be suitable for other developing countries. China can continue to provide technical training and capacity building for developing countries, help other developing countries to prevent the transfer of new pollutants as products or wastes, and contribute China’s strength to building a life community on Earth.
  The new pollution control action reflects the historical responsibility of the CPC Central Committee to participate in, contribute to and lead global environmental governance, and will continue to contribute China’s plan, China’s wisdom and China’s strength to global environmental governance. The new pollution control action is also the need to build a beautiful China and maintain sustainable green chemistry and economic growth in China. Building a new pollution control system in China and protecting the earth’s homeland will help to realize the global pursuit of high-quality life, achieve the goal of sustainable development in 2030, realize the harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and build a community of life on earth.

Contribute more China wisdom to the progress of human political civilization (the international community sees Chinese modernization)

  Democracy is the common value of all mankind and an important concept that the people of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and China have always adhered to. Report to the 20th CPC National Congress, the Communist Party of China, regards the development of whole-process people’s democracy as one of the essential requirements of Chinese modernization, profoundly revealing the great significance of developing whole-process people’s democracy in the new journey of building a socialist modernized country in an all-round way. Chinese modernization contains a brand-new concept of democracy, which enriches the theory and practice of realizing democratic values and makes important contributions to promoting the progress of human political civilization.

  The whole process of people’s democracy is the most extensive democracy.

  Democracy is a political form formed by human society after thousands of years of exploration, which has played an important role in the process of human development. Democracy is historical, concrete and developing, and there is no one form of democracy in the world. The key to judging a form of democracy depends on whether it adapts to its own history and culture, conforms to its actual national conditions, can bring about political stability, social progress and improvement of people’s livelihood, can win the support and support of the people, and can make contributions to the cause of human progress.

  In November 2019, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader put forward the important exposition that "people’s democracy is a whole-process democracy" for the first time during his inspection tour in Shanghai, which profoundly expounded the characteristics and advantages of China’s socialist democracy. At the celebration of the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC), General Secretary of the Supreme Leader further emphasized that "people-centered development thought should be practiced to develop people’s democracy in the whole process". The historical resolution adopted by the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee included "developing people’s democracy in the whole process" as the important content of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era in the "Ten Clarities". Report to the 20th CPC National Congress, the Communist Party of China, explicitly wrote "developing people’s democracy in the whole process" into the essential requirement of Chinese modernization, and further proposed that "the people’s democracy in the whole process will be more perfect" by 2035. During the two sessions of the National People’s Congress in China this year, "upholding and developing people’s democracy in the whole process" was written into the Legislative Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC).

  Erik Bigon, editor of Kenya Broadcasting Corporation, noted that among the delegates of the National People’s Congress in China, there are workers from various industries, such as couriers, farmers, teachers, doctors and journalists. "In many other countries, it is difficult for people in some industries to get similar opportunities.".

  Mahmoud hassan Khan, director of the Center for South Asian and International Studies in Islamabad, Pakistan, believes that at the National People’s Congress in China, the deputies reflected the opinions and suggestions of people from all walks of life in various fields, vividly demonstrating the connotation of people’s democracy in the whole process.

  Harold, Zimbabwean Permanent Representative in Geneva, believes that the Greek word "democracy" originally means "people’s power", and "China’s democratic practice is closer to the original spirit and connotation of this concept".

  True democracy, good democracy, to make the people the masters of the country, the people not only have the right to vote and vote, but also have the right to participate extensively; Not only can you express your wishes, but you can also achieve them effectively; Not only promote national development, but also share the fruits of development. In the whole process, people’s democracy truly adheres to the people’s dominant position, and everything is for the people and everything depends on the people.

  At the National People’s Congress in China in 2021, Zhou Yizhe, a representative who has been a forestry worker for decades, put forward some suggestions such as appropriately increasing the proportion of cost subsidies for the pilot construction of universal telecommunications service in forest areas. Nowadays, the coverage rate of public network communication in key state-owned forest areas in Daxing ‘anling has increased from 10% to 50%, and forestry workers basically don’t have to "run all over the mountain to search for a network signal".

  Robert kuhn, chairman of the American Kuhn Foundation, commented that Chinese-style democracy is not a castle in the air, but includes various feedback and interaction mechanisms, especially people’s congresses at all levels, whose main goal is to ensure a good life for all people. Tan Zheli, a senior researcher at the Mbeki Institute of African Leadership of the University of South Africa, believes that the whole process of people’s democracy in China "aims at serving the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people and bringing tangible benefits to the people".

  Yi Si, chairman of the Royal Institute of East-West Strategy, was a special member of the Changchun CPPCC and a consultant of the Shanghai CPPCC. He personally participated in the practice of Chinese-style democracy and is currently writing a book on democracy in China. He learned that CPPCC members come from all walks of life, and most of the proposals are "very practical and grounded." In his view, "the Communist Party of China (CPC) attaches importance to the differences in conditions, customs and practices between the eastern and western parts of China and between urban and rural areas, and has made great efforts in balancing representation. Democracy in China is worth learning from. "

  Martinez, a British social activist, believes that in China’s democratic system, people enjoy democratic rights at all social levels, not just during the election period. The elected deputies can hear the opinions, needs and expectations of the broad masses. "After the COVID-19 epidemic, China has made prevention and control of the epidemic, protection of the health and safety of the general public, and protection of people’s lives a priority. This is people’s democracy, and this is socialist democracy."

  The whole process of people’s democracy is the most real democracy.

  From "small courtyard chamber" to "house forum", from offline "round table" to online "discussion group", from NPC deputies insisting on asking for the needs of the people and asking for the people, to CPPCC members participating in grassroots consultations to solve urgent problems … … Complete institutional procedures and participation in practice make the whole process of people’s democracy change from value concept to institutional form, governance mechanism and people’s lifestyle rooted in China. China develops people’s democracy in the whole process based on its national conditions, which not only has distinctive China characteristics, but also reflects the common pursuit of democracy by all mankind. It not only promoted the development of our country and national rejuvenation, but also enriched the form of human political civilization.

  "China’s unique road to modernization and development shows that every country and its people have their own unique insights, strength and imagination, and can explore and use their own history and reality to establish a system and promote the national development process." Charles Onunaiju, director of the China Research Center in Nigeria, said in an article published in Nigeria’s Blueprint.

  Yu Deshuo, deputy mayor of Bath, England, who has conducted extensive research in rural areas of China, attended the democratic forum in Wenling, Zhejiang. The villagers sat around the big tree with small benches, and the scene of speaking freely about the development of the village impressed him deeply. "The participation of the people is related to the degree of democracy and affects the expression of decision-making will. In this sense, China’s whole process of people’s democracy has richer and deeper connotations. "

  Kuhn believes that China strives to improve the living standards of all its people, which involves reform, rule of law, public participation, human rights protection and other aspects. "More than 1.4 billion people in China have truly become masters of their own affairs and explored new paths for the development of human democracy. This is China’s great contribution to human political civilization."

  The whole process of people’s democracy broke the hegemony of western democratic discourse. Martin jacques, a British scholar, believes that in the eyes of western countries, democracy originated from western polity and will gradually expand into a universal system for all mankind. This view lacks historical common sense and does not respect cultural differences. "Western countries account for less than 15% of the global population, but they think that their own systems should be accepted by all mankind, and all regimes that do not conform to the Western system are incorrect. Successful governance is not to copy the system and rules of one country to other countries, especially when the national conditions of the two countries are completely different. Democracy means respecting a country’s cultural traditions and allowing the country’s governance model to bear fruit in its own environment. "

  Whether a country in the international community is democratic or not should be judged by the international community together, not by a few self-righteous countries. "The rich and diverse civilizations in the world are full of vitality, and the rich diversity of civilizations, especially political civilizations, means that there is no single model of democracy that can be mass-produced." Jin Ping, director of the Institute of International Relations of the Royal Cambodian Academy of Sciences, believes that only by respecting the diversity of civilizations and enhancing inclusiveness can we promote and consolidate regional and even global peace and harmony, and promote the building of a community of human destiny in which no one is left behind.

  People’s democracy is the most effective democracy in the whole process.

  "The rule does not have to be the same, and it is expected to benefit the people." Democracy is not an ornament, not for decoration, but for solving problems that people need to solve. In the final analysis, the evaluation of a form of democracy depends on whether it can make the people live a good life.

  Jonny miller, Executive Chairman of the US-China Cooperation Foundation — White once wrote that China has successfully practiced the whole process of people’s democracy, a unique form of democracy, and proved to the world that Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s democratic system can create enormous economic and social benefits for all people.

  In the decade of the new era, China has completed the historical task of getting rid of poverty and building a well-off society in an all-round way, and the cause of the party and the state has made historic achievements and changes, pushing forward a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. These achievements fully show that the continuous enrichment and development of people’s democracy in China can stimulate the infinite initiative and creativity of the people of China and promote the all-round promotion and progress of Chinese modernization.

  Ma Yijun, a senior researcher at the Globalization Think Tank, believes that the true meaning of democracy is to serve the people, and China’s democracy is well deserved. "The China government has responded to the people’s call and made efforts to improve people’s lives and livelihoods. Before legislation, China will announce the draft law to the public and solicit opinions. This is a big example. "

  Chinese modernization is a comprehensive and free development modernization, and it is a five-in-one modernization of economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction and ecological civilization construction. Among them, the fundamental task of political construction is to continuously develop socialist democratic politics, continuously build high-quality Chinese-style democracy, and constantly ensure that people’s rights as masters of their own affairs are implemented.

  In Yi Si’s view, the practice of Chinese-style democracy can solve practical problems. "This is achieved through consultation at every level of the administrative department in a wide range of society and full discussion within the party."

  The people’s congress system in China embodies the superiority of the socialist system. While ensuring that the party and the state can hear the voices of the people in all aspects of decision-making, implementation and supervision, it also ensures that the decision-making is far-sighted and can be implemented efficiently. Martin jacques believes that only a very confident political party with a solid mass base can successfully make long-term policy adjustments when necessary.

  Igor Maximtsev, president of St. Petersburg State University of Economics, believes that the whole process of people’s democracy in China adheres to the people-centered, conforms to China’s national conditions and reality, and contributes China’s wisdom to human political civilization. Countries should respect each other’s democratic model, strengthen exchanges and mutual learning, and jointly promote the continuous development of human civilization.

  The Communist Party of China (CPC) insisted on coming from the masses and going to the masses, was good at constantly summing up the wisdom and experience of the people, and concretely and realistically reflected the people being the masters of the country in the policies and measures of the party’s governance, so that the party’s theory and decision-making have the source of practice and keep the vitality of innovation.

  Onunaiju said that China’s modernization process does not directly copy the experience of other countries in the world. On the contrary, it absorbs foreign experience on the basis of its own national conditions, combines it organically, and has been tested by practice. The national consensus formed in consultation and cooperation integrates all different viewpoints and visions into the macro road map of national development, and condenses the consensus and will of the whole society.

  China’s concept of democracy comes from the fertile soil of Chinese modernization in practice, which will be enriched and developed with the advancement of Chinese modernization, and will contribute more China wisdom to the progress of human political civilization.

Chinese patent medicine has no toxic side effects? You think too much.

Knowing a thousand miles, the whole family can cure sores.

Home has Sanguisorba bark, not afraid of burning and peeling.

If you have Sanguisorba charcoal at home, you are not afraid of skin burning.

Liu sent slaves at home, not afraid of beheading with a knife.

A catchy Chinese medicine jingle

Seemingly easy to understand

But it embodies countless philosophical wisdom of the ancients.

Chinese medicine is the traditional medicine of our Chinese nation.

Compared with western medicine

Has the advantages of low price, small side effects and the like.

Loved by everyone

But nowadays, we often see that some drugs or health care products are declared as "natural preparations and pure Chinese medicine preparations", which are non-toxic and have no side effects.

In fact, it is a misunderstanding that "Chinese patent medicine is non-toxic". If it is not used properly, Chinese patent medicine can also cause toxic and side effects like western medicine.

Why is the saying that "Chinese medicine is nontoxic" so deeply rooted in people’s hearts?

According to the current situation, the research on the effective components and pharmacological effects of most traditional Chinese medicines is not as thorough as that of western medicines. Long-term and large-sample clinical trials are needed before western medicines are put on the market. The adverse reactions are fully studied, and the corresponding parts in the instructions are clearly written, and their shortcomings are unambiguous. This actually gives patients full right to know and protects them to the maximum extent. However, there is a lack of research on the adverse reactions of traditional Chinese medicine, especially Chinese herbal medicine, which is mostly used by experience. The analysis of effective components of many drugs is still under exploration, let alone the study of side effects.

For some Chinese patent medicines, the relevant research data is also very scarce, and the corresponding parts in the instructions are either simply described or omitted, which misleads patients and thinks it is very safe. In addition, the media often deliberately emphasize "pure Chinese medicine preparation" in propaganda, which actually plays a misleading role in fueling the "non-toxic Chinese medicine".

Therefore, if Chinese patent medicine is improperly applied,

Will cause toxic side effects like western medicine.

It can delay the illness, but it is life-threatening.

Here are some commonly used Chinese patent medicines.

Let’s talk about their side effects

Liushen Pill contains toxic components such as bufogenin and realgar. Some people take Liushen Pill because of sore throat, resulting in itchy skin, irritability, pale face, nausea and vomiting, drowsiness and coma, dyspnea and arrhythmia.

Liushen pill

Jinkui Shenqi Pill, also known as Bawei Dihuang Pill, is often used to treat waist soreness, leg weakness, acute abdominal pain, polydipsia, insomnia, dysuria or frequent urination. However, some people will have skin rashes, nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, edema, headache, rising blood pressure and rapid heartbeat after taking the medicine.

Jinkui Shenqi Pill

Xiaohuoluo Pill has been reported to have taken this medicine because of traumatic scapulohumeral periarthritis or lumbar sprain. As a result, symptoms such as chest tightness, dyspnea and itchy skin appeared, and the symptoms disappeared after treatment. The reason may be related to the allergic reaction caused by the animal protein contained in the earthworm (earthworm) in the prescription.

Xiaohuoluo pills

Xiaoyao powder is mainly used to treat headache, dizziness, fatigue and fatigue. However, it has been reported that after taking the medicine for trigeminal neuralgia, the whole body appeared punctate pink papules, edema of face and lower limbs, aversion to cold and high fever, and head swelling and pain after stopping treatment.

Xiaoyaosan

Sanxiandan, Angong Pill and Zhusha Anshen Pill all contain cinnabar, that is, mercury sulfide, which can be poisoned if taken for a long time.

Classified traditional Chinese medicine containing cinnabar

Improper use of Xiaoke Asthma can lead to arrhythmia; Taking Fuzi Lizhong Pill improperly will cause tongue curl and shortness of breath; Abuse of Bupleurum injection and pilose antler essence injection can cause anaphylactic shock.

In recent years, the frequent adverse reactions of traditional Chinese medicine injections have pushed the safety of traditional Chinese medicine to the forefront. In order to avoid the above-mentioned adverse reactions when taking medicine, we should closely observe the reactions after taking medicine during the period of taking medicine. Once there is any abnormality, we should stop taking medicine immediately and go to the hospital for treatment.

The comprehensive strength of the new generation of high-value players has surpassed the popular competing products.

When young people become the mainstream of the auto market, young and fashionable people have become one of the most competitive in China. For this reason, major brands have also come up with housekeeping skills to attract picky consumers in this market. Among them, the most representative is Changan CS series, which ranks in the forefront of SUV sales all the year round, and its CS35PLUS is highly sought after by young people. However, with the outbreak of the domestic market like mushrooms after rain, some models with better quality and higher cost performance are also pouring in. For example, Hyun Jie Pro from Kaiyi, although not listed as early as CS35PLUS, has quickly won the attention of a group of young people with its many hard-core strengths. Then, compared with this battlefield veteran, what will be the performance of Xuanjie Pro as a rising star?

The comprehensive strength of the new generation of high-value players has surpassed the popular competing products-Figure 1

Hyun Jie Pro is a brand-new SUV launched by Kaiyi Automobile in July this year. On the basis of absorbing the advantages of Hyun Jie, the new car has been fully upgraded in terms of design, interior quality and intelligent technology, and has been replaced with a 1.5T CVT gold power combination, so it has also been dubbed as the "all-round small steel gun", which has attracted the attention of the younger generation. Changan CS35PLUS is a battlefield veteran who has been listed for a long time, and has certain advantages in market share and user popularity. In the spirit of seeking truth from facts, this time we assembled these two models, and through the hard-hitting strength comparison, we will see who is stronger.

Design: Xuanjie Pro is young and fashionable, and CS35PLUS is dignified and calm.

In today’s era of looking at faces, high-value appearance has become an indispensable requirement for most people to buy cars. If you want to break through the tight encirclement and win attention, it is essential to have a good-looking design. Xuanjie Pro and Changan CS35PLUS are both located in the young urban consumer groups, so there is no need to worry about the design. Both of them are designed with relatively high value, which basically conforms to the aesthetics of the public, but their styles are different.

From the design point of view, these two cars belong to the representatives of high value of their own brands, and the design incorporates many popular elements, such as large mouth air intake grille, suspended roof, through LED taillights, bilateral exhaust layout, etc., but the design style is obviously different. Among them, Changan CS35PLUS is obviously familial, with the shadow of other CS series models, generous front and high visual center of gravity, which also makes it look more calm and dignified; However, Xuanjie Pro is refreshing in both appearance and details, and its visual effect is much more exquisite than Changan CS35PLUS. Although the overall value of the former is not low, it is obvious that Xuanjie Pro is a fashionable and dynamic style in the face of younger consumer groups.

Technology configuration: the intelligent technology is rich and complete, and the dazzling Pro is more cost-effective.

Coming into the car, the two models have different styles in design. In comparison, the design of Xuanjie Pro is more textured. Whether it is the outline of simple lines or the collocation of two-color leather materials, it creates more simplicity and luxury. Changan CS35PLUS is more popular. Fortunately, the addition of a large-size LCD screen has also improved the overall sense of science and technology of the interior.

In-car configuration has always been the strength of self-owned brand models, and these two cars are no exception, and they can all be given a very rich list of configurations, especially those that reflect intelligent technology, such as full LCD dashboard, high-definition central control touch screen, on-board intelligent interconnection system, language interaction system, mobile phone remote control, lane departure warning, 360 panoramic image, cruise control, steep slope descent and so on. The difference between the two lies in the convenient configuration. The front row of Hyun Jie Pro is equipped with two USB charging interfaces, and the front row of mobile phone is wirelessly charged. The front row of Changan CS35PLUS is only equipped with one USB charging interface. In today’s era when electronic products are inseparable, it is obvious that the performance of Hyun Jie Pro is more humanized. In addition, considering that the overall price range of Changan CS35PLUS is higher and the configuration is not comprehensive enough, its intelligent technology configuration is complete, but it is basically concentrated on high-end models. Therefore, if it is specific to models, it belongs to Xuanjie Pro. The technology configuration is richer and the cost performance is higher.

Comfortable space: the body size has its own advantages, and the interior space of Xuanjie Pro is even better.

The body size greatly affects the space performance in the car, and there are some differences between the two models in terms of body size. The length, width and height of Xuanjie Pro are 4400/1831/1653mm and the wheelbase is 2632mm; respectively. Changan CS35PLUS has a length, width and height of 4330/1825/1660mm and a wheelbase of 2600 mm. Although its height is slightly higher than that of Hyun Jie Pro, its length, width and wheelbase are shorter than that of Hyun Jie Pro, and theoretically its internal space is smaller.

Changan CS series models have always been famous for their large space, but compared with Hyun Jie Pro, it seems to be somewhat insufficient. According to the measured comparison of the same model, it can be seen that Hyun Jie Pro is even worse than Changan CS35PLUS in both horizontal and vertical space, which is mainly due to its advantages in body size and wheelbase, making Hyun Jie Pro’s internal seating space among the best in the whole model with the same price.

Dynamic performance: Changan CS35PLUS has strong power, and the driving quality of Xuanjie Pro is more advanced.

In terms of power, Xuanjie Pro is equipped with a 1.5T engine, which matches the CVT continuously variable gearbox. The maximum power of the engine is 156 HP and the maximum torque is 230 Nm. Changan CS35PLUS is equipped with a 1.4T engine with a maximum power of 160 HP and a peak torque of 260 Nm, matching a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox.

Both cars are equipped with turbocharged engines, and the power is strong. The Blue Whale 1.4T engine equipped with Changan CS35PLUS has a slight advantage in data, but at the same time, it is also matched with a dual-clutch gearbox, which has an obvious sense of frustration at the beginning, which will directly affect the normal driving comfort. The Xuanjie Pro is matched with CVT continuously variable gearbox. Whether it is starting or accelerating in the middle and late stages, its power output is very smooth, and the driving comfort of the whole vehicle is also higher. At the same time, Xuanjie PRO has a maximum power of 156 HP and a peak torque of 230 Nm, which can still give a strong driving experience in daily life, not to mention a more radical sports driving mode. Therefore, the dynamic advantages of Xuanjie Pro are more obvious.

Full text summary:For young consumers, in the highly competitive SUV market, simply launching high-value products can not immediately trigger their desire to buy, and they can win their favor only after they have rich intelligent technology configuration, practical comfortable space experience and strong linear dynamic quality. Through the above comparison, it is not difficult to see that as a latecomer, Kaiyi Xuanjie Pro is not afraid of a number of popular competing products at the same level, and even has the hard-core advantages in the above aspects, although its user popularity and market share are not as good as Changan CS35PLUS, but its comprehensive strength is stronger.

The chaos of Foxconn’s centralization: the beginning of the "bribery door" case

The empire of Guo Taiming, chairman of Hon Hai Group (2317.TW, known as "Foxconn" in mainland China), is experiencing the torment of "bribery door".

When the successive incidents of jumping off buildings made Hon Hai Group a public focus, new troubles "patronized" Hon Hai. Recently, the news that Hon Hai Group broke the news that high-level officials were suspected of asking for bribes from suppliers was disclosed by the media. Regarding the media reports, Hon Hai Group claimed that most of them were not true, and promised to disclose them within one month.

However, according to the China Business News reporter’s exclusive knowledge from authoritative sources, the mainland police accidentally seized the criminal fact of Deng Zhixian, director-general and manager of SMT(Surface Mount Technology) Technical Committee of Hon Hai Group during the handling of the case, which also triggered a wave of anti-corruption in Hon Hai Group.

Why did this "bribery door" trigger? Why are there loopholes in Hon Hai’s seamless procurement management system? After nearly a month of continuous investigation, our reporter tried to peel away the layers of fog.

The suspect "shakes" out of the "bribery door"

In 2012, Deng Zhixian’s SMT involved a purchase amount of up to 10 billion yuan, and Deng Zhixian, who has been in charge of SMT for many years, has therefore become an important part of the "supply" of various suppliers.

"Deng Zhixian’s fall is very accidental." On January 24, 2013, the reporter learned exclusively from an authoritative insider: "He was reported by a person involved in other cases and was controlled by the mainland police."

Deng Zhixian, who is in his fifties, is the director-general and manager of SMT(Surface Mount Technology) Technical Committee in Hon Hai Group. According to the reporter’s understanding, in addition to Deng Zhixian’s arrest, several cadres of the Technical Committee were assisted in the investigation, and Liao Wancheng, a former senior vice president of SMT and vice chairman of the SMT Technical Committee, did not know where to go because he was closely related to the case.

It is reported that Hon Hai Group has more than 30 technical committees, which are responsible for procurement and project audit in a certain professional field. In addition to SMT technical committee, there are IE (production engineering) technical committee, automation technical committee and institutional product technical committee. The personnel of these technical committees have certain decision-making power in procurement.

A person familiar with the operation of Hon Hai Group’s Technical Committee revealed that the role of the Technical Committee in procurement is similar to the "expert committees" of many domestic bidding centers. When it comes to the production technology and production technology in the professional field, it is necessary for the Technical Committee to review the rationality of the product production technology.

It is this system design that invisibly gives Deng Zhixian and other key people of the Technical Committee the core purchasing power. It is reported that in 2012, the purchase amount of SMT where Deng Zhixian was located was as high as 10 billion yuan, and Deng Zhixian, who has been in charge of SMT for many years, has thus become an important link for suppliers from all walks of life to "supply".

However, walking too much at night is easy to hit ghosts. Authoritative sources told reporters exclusively that because the people involved in other cases disclosed the details of Deng Zhixian and others’ demands for bribes in order to make meritorious deeds. In September 2012, the Shenzhen procuratorate arrested Deng Zhixian. It is reported that after learning the case, Guo Taiming, chairman of Hon Hai Group, made it clear that he hoped that the mainland police could dig deep and completely eradicate the "moths" in the procurement process of Hon Hai Group.

At the same time, Shenzhen government officials also attached great importance to this case. An ordinary bribery case is particularly sensitive because of Hon Hai’s important position in Shenzhen’s economy. It is reported that all parties are fully investigating the involvement of other higher-level personnel behind Deng Zhixian. As the case is still in the detection stage, the reporter’s interview was also declined by the relevant departments in Shenzhen.

Earlier, Taiwan Province media reported that Li Jinming, chief executive and commercial officer of Hon Hai Group, received a report letter in September 2012, accusing SMT executives of soliciting bribes from suppliers for a long time. So Guo Taiming asked to report the case to the mainland public security department, and asked Li Jinming to form a project team to conduct an internal investigation. The local criminal bureau in Taiwan Province has received a report from Hon Hai, and has consulted the mainland public security bureau to assist in the investigation, and more than 10 Hon Hai executives have been assisted in the investigation.

Hon Hai Group issued a statement on many cases involving senior officials of Hon Hai disclosed by Taiwan Province and other media before, saying that most of them were not in line with the facts. However, Hon Hai also said that Chairman Guo Taiming had instructed that the fraudsters and their reasons would be strictly investigated, and the related incidents would not be allowed to happen again.

There are loopholes in the "perfect" procurement system

"In addition to colluding with the business group bosses, technical committees like SMT also have the dominant position in equipment procurement."

On the surface, Hon Hai’s procurement system is standard.

A former Hon Hai employee who has been engaged in procurement told reporters that its procurement system is mainly divided into BOM (Bill of Materials) procurement and non-BOM procurement. Among them, the BOM part is the accessories and raw materials needed to produce products, and most of them are consumables; Non-BOM procurement refers to the production materials needed in the production process, including equipment, accessories and so on.

The standardization of Hon Hai’s procurement system is reflected in the strict screening of suppliers. Before purchasing all products (BOM and non-BOM), the supplier must have complete legal person qualification, and the product safety must meet various certification requirements. During the screening process, the supervisors of the four departments, namely, production management, quality control, industrial management, and financial management, will be arranged to inspect the factory. However, if the procurement involves non-BOM equipment or products with specific production process on BOM, the Technical Committee will conduct the final review. Only after passing the examination can the supplier be issued a code, which means that it has obtained the procurement qualification.

After screening the suppliers, the products must be tested. After the sample is qualified, the quotation will be started. Hon Hai is good at price comparison, so buyers will often ask for COST DOWN, which will bring greater profit pressure to suppliers.

After a supplier signs a supply contract with Hon Hai, he can get the supplier code, but this does not mean that he can be a Hon Hai supplier safely. The quarterly evaluation will directly affect the qualification of its suppliers. Every evaluation is still the responsibility of the people on the four pipelines: production management, quality management, industrial management and management.

The four pipelines are a unique management method creatively established by Hon Hai. These four management departments are independent but closely coordinated to monitor and manage the daily production and operation of the enterprise. This management system seems to be "perfect", and it seems difficult for suppliers to handle four responsible persons at the same time. But it’s not. Usually, the heads of the four major pipelines are subordinate to the vertical departments under the business groups (there are many business groups under Hon Hai Group, which are in charge of different sectors). "If the boss of the business group says hello, the situation will be different."

"In addition to colluding with the business group bosses, technical committees like SMT also have the leading role in equipment procurement. Although the people of the four major pipelines must check, the technical Committee is the last to sign. Moreover, if any one of the four major pipelines does not sign, the Technical Committee can put pressure on them to push the procurement through. " An employee who has worked in Hon Hai for many years in production management told reporters.

Jia Su (a pseudonym), a senior official of a Shenzhen enterprise who has cooperated with Hon Hai for more than ten years, admitted to the reporter that Taiwan Province enterprises such as Hon Hai and Inventec are different from Taiwan Province family enterprises that entered the mainland in the early days. "In Taiwan Province family enterprises that entered the mainland in the early days, from the finance to the boss, they rarely choose bribery to get purchase orders, but now Taiwanese cadres (Taiwan Province cadres) who have great power in Hon Hai enterprises can become a shortcut for suppliers to get orders. In Hon Hai, as long as you dare to spend money on Taiwan, many things are easy to handle. "

Under the circumstances that power is too centralized and cadres lack self-discipline, Hon Hai’s strict procurement system encounters great challenges.

Anti-corruption shock wave

Hon Hai’s supplier system is experiencing not only shocks, but also internal adjustments.

After Deng Zhixian’s bribery incident was exposed, some enterprises that have cooperative relations with Hon Hai are also suffering from the impact.

It is reported that Hon Hai has terminated its cooperation with the supplier Shenzhen Telu. Shenzhen Delu mainly produces electronic product testing equipment, etc. However, at present, German law does not recognize bribery. However, after many investigations by reporters of China Business News, it can be confirmed that the SMT supporting enterprise located in Dongguan for Hon Hai has been involved. It is reported that with the further investigation of Deng Zhixian’s case, Hon Hai’s supply chain will be adjusted accordingly.

Hon Hai’s supplier system is experiencing not only shocks, but also internal adjustments. Recently, Hon Hai employees disclosed to reporters that the IGDBG (New Green Number) business group has been dissolved in Hon Hai’s bribery storm, and the personnel diversion has basically ended.

"I have already agreed to leave my job. At present, many people have left, and I am the only one left in our department." An employee of the original IGDBG (New Green Number) business group told the reporter, "It is said that the reason for the dissolution is the commercial crime of the relevant person in charge of IGDBG. The business group has suffered losses for two consecutive years, but he and several of his best friends have eaten kickbacks. Eating too much made Guo angry. "

According to insiders, after the notice of dissolving the business group was issued, the employees of IGDBG’s original production line responsible for TV and LED were all diverted to CCPBG (consumer electronics products) business group, and the employees of tablet computer production line were diverted to FIH (Foxconn International). Some employees said that the treatment given by CCPBG was unacceptable. In just over two months, thousands of people left their jobs in the diversion.

IGDBG new green number business group was established in early 2012, which was reorganized and renamed from TMSBG business group (Technology Merging Services Business Group) established in June 2009. Since 2009, a production and research base has been established in Hengyang, Hunan. Our main business is to develop and manufacture e-books, tablet computers, electronic photo frames, LED energy-saving lamps, smart air filters and other products, and we are a global supplier of E-Ink e-books and digital photo frames. IGDBG was originally an important business group of Foxconn’s product innovation and transformation, but since its establishment, it has suffered losses continuously in the past two years. Guo Taiming has repeatedly warned that he hopes to turn losses into profits.

The new green number business group, which was established less than a year ago, was abolished. For Hon Hai, is it to adjust the department by fighting corruption, or are there other considerations? In this regard, as of press time, Hon Hai has not yet responded.

Hon Hai said a few days ago that it has revised the procurement procedures and strictly controlled the supervisor’s ethics, and will not allow similar incidents to happen again. However, in the supply chain management department, there is no institutional revision document released on a large scale. "Foxconn’s regulatory system has been standardized, but corruption cases still need to be reflected from the institutional level." A Foxconn management cadre said.

  It is reported that this release is limited to specific user groups. Tesla explained: "FSD Beta V12 upgraded the city street driving stack to an end-to-end neural network trained on millions of video clips, replacing more than 300,000 lines of explicit C++ code." This means that the automobile control logic has been handled by neural network, rather than the code written by programmers. According to the feedback from users who participated in the FSD Beta V12 test in North America, compared with V11, the intervention times of V12 version will be reduced by more than 100 times. However, Tesla FSD is still a Beta version.

  Since its first launch on October 20, 2020, FSD has only been available in Beta in North America. Tesla released new software updates through beta to verify its latest autonomous driving technology and improve performance. At present, the system can’t realize full automatic driving, and it needs the supervision of the driver.

  Last November, it was reported that Tesla FSD Beta was about to enter China. Tesla China official website updated the owner’s manual of China with FSD Beta, which indicates that FSD will soon land in China. Taking the new model (|) as an example, it costs 64,000 yuan to install FSD. After installation, it can realize the functions of recognizing and responding to traffic lights and stop signs, and automatically assisting driving in urban streets.

  Tesla has made a lot of preparations before landing in FSD in China. In 2021, a data center was established in Shanghai. All data generated by China business, including production data, sales data, service data and charging data, are completely stored in China to meet regulatory requirements. In addition, Tesla set up an FSD operation team and a data labeling team in Shanghai, and sent engineers from this department to do training. However, Tesla China once responded to the domestic media that "it is really in progress at present". (Source: teslanorth, notateslaapp;; Compile/car home Li Na)
