Residential community is the main space of residents’ life, and residential property management is related to the quality of life of the people, the safe operation of the city and social harmony and stability. Not long ago, 10 departments, including the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, issued a notice requesting to accelerate the development of the property service industry, promote the upgrading of property services to high quality and diversification, and meet the people’s growing needs for a better living. The reporter interviewed relevant industry associations and enterprises on the issues of public concern in the process of property development.

Clarify the boundary of property management

Property management is closest to residents, which can not only serve the masses well, but also become an important force in grassroots social governance. However, the overall pattern of bringing property management into social governance is still in the initial exploration stage and faces many problems. This also brings confusion to community owners, for example, how can illegal building of properties always be managed badly? Electric bicycles are illegally charged everywhere, which has great security risks. Who should care? The quality of the house is not satisfactory. The property service companies say that it is left over by the developers, and they should not be in charge. What should the owners do?

It is reported that for a long time, the relevant government departments have regarded property service enterprises as the starting point of implementation, and enterprises have undertaken many government management responsibilities or public service obligations. In addition, based on their own expectations of property services, some owners are not accurate enough in understanding the boundary scope of property management, and require property service enterprises to provide services beyond the scope of their duties and contractual agreements.

A few days ago, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and other 10 departments issued the Notice on Strengthening and Improving the Management of Residential Property (hereinafter referred to as the Notice), which further clarified which matters were the responsibility of relevant government departments, which were the responsibility of streets and which were the responsibility of property service enterprises.

The "Notice" clearly promotes the sinking of urban management services. Promote the extension of urban management services to residential communities, rely on the urban comprehensive management service platform, and establish a mechanism for accepting and handling problems reflected by the masses. Clear the list of responsibilities of departments and units, compact the work responsibilities, and promptly investigate and deal with illegal behaviors such as illegal construction, destroying green, arbitrarily dumping garbage, raising animals in violation of regulations, illegally parking and charging electric bicycles, occupying and blocking public and fire exits in the property service area. Clear water supply, drainage, power supply, gas supply, heating, communication, cable television and other professional operating units to serve the end users according to law, and implement the responsibility of professional operating units for the maintenance, conservation and renewal of related facilities and equipment in the property service area.

Thus, the management and service of residential community is not only the responsibility of property service enterprises. Whether it is illegal acts such as illegal construction, or problems in operation and maintenance such as water, electricity and heat, the main body of its management lies in the competent departments of the city government or professional operating units. With this "Notice", it has become more clear who the residents should go to for the problems to be solved.

At the same time, residents have high expectations for the quality of property services. How can property management be improved? The Notice proposes a number of measures in this regard. Fully implement the main responsibility of service quality of property service enterprises. Property service enterprises should improve the service quality guarantee system, establish a rapid handling mechanism for service complaints, strengthen the management of personnel and vehicles, regularly inspect and maintain shared parts and facilities, take reasonable measures to protect the personal and property safety of owners, do a good job in greening and maintenance, assist in standardizing garbage delivery and timely cleaning and removal, improve the living environment, improve the living quality, create excellent property service projects and enhance the quality of personnel in the property service industry. In addition, we should also improve the formation mechanism of property service prices, which are mainly formed through market competition.

Promote the improvement of property management

Small community, big society, managing a residential community well requires the joint efforts of the government, enterprises and owners. In the face of current problems, the Notice responds to social concerns, studies and solves industry pain points, and promotes all parties to explore.

What should I do if the owners’ committee representing the rights and interests of the majority of owners is delayed? The "Notice" clarifies that if the conditions for the establishment of the owners’ meeting are not available for the time being, it is necessary to explore the establishment of a property management Committee attended by community residents’ committees and owners’ representatives to temporarily replace the owners’ Committee.

According to the relevant person in charge of china property management institute, if it is really difficult to set up an industry committee, we can learn from the experience of Beijing and Guangzhou, and first set up a property management committee, which will exercise relevant rights on behalf of the residents. The property management committee can temporarily make up for the problem that there is no industry committee in the community and it is difficult for residents to claim their wishes.

The reporter learned that in many cities, the establishment of industry committees or property management committees has become an important starting point for strengthening property management. The "Three-year Action Plan (2020-2022) on Strengthening Beijing’s Property Management and Improving the Property Service Level" promulgated by Beijing in 2020 clearly stipulates that more than 2,000 new owners’ committees (property management committees) will be established before the end of 2020; The formation rate of owners’ committees (property management committees) will reach over 30%, over 70% in 2021 and over 90% in 2022.

How to supervise the services of property service enterprises? The Notice clarifies that the property management industry will establish a credit evaluation system for property service enterprises. According to the credit status of enterprises, the urban housing and urban-rural construction departments will grant credit star marks, implement credit classification and supervision, and strengthen the application of credit information in the bidding of early property management, the selection of property service enterprises by the owners’ meeting, and government procurement. At the same time, a red and black list system for property service enterprises will be established to promote the formation of a market environment for survival of the fittest. Property service enterprises and persons directly responsible for serious violations of laws and regulations and vile circumstances shall be cleared out of the market according to law.

The relevant person in charge of china property management institute said that strengthening residential property management not only requires the efforts of the government and enterprises, but also mobilizes the enthusiasm of residents, social organizations, social work service agencies, community volunteers, resident units and other parties, so as to achieve common decision-making, joint development, joint management of construction, joint evaluation of effects and sharing of achievements. In this way, property management can play a greater role in building a new pattern of grassroots social governance.

Expand the market, new blue ocean

After 40 years of development, China’s property management industry has gradually become mature and perfect. At present, the number of property service enterprises in China is 234,000, with more than 7.4 million employees. In recent years, property service enterprises have ushered in a wave of listing. At present, there are more than 40 listed property service enterprises, indicating that capital is very optimistic about the development prospects of the property management industry. The latest data shows that the operating income of China’s property management industry will reach 1,180.03 billion yuan in 2020.

The mode of "property service+life service" can enable residents to enjoy better property services and bring greater development opportunities to the property management industry. The "Notice" clarifies that it will promote the development of the life service industry. Encourage qualified property service enterprises to extend to the fields of pension, child care, housekeeping, culture, health, house brokerage, express delivery and other fields, and explore the "property service+life service" model to meet the diversified multi-level living and living needs of residents.

The person in charge of Longhu Smart Service told the reporter that "property service+life service" has always been the direction actively explored by Longhu Smart Service. Up to now, nine kinds of value-added service products, such as "rental and sale of gannets", "rejuvenation masters", "longan optimization" and "Yugong moving", basically cover the owner’s whole life service chain.

Wan Jie, vice president of ocean service and general manager of value-added business department, told reporters that ocean service is willing to do more exploration in "property service+life service", which is an important development opportunity for property service enterprises. At present, Ocean Shipping Service has a layout in space management, real estate brokerage, Mercure and community retail, and continues to explore new products and new tracks in hot industries, such as education, tourism and pension industry. However, in practice, there are also some problems. For example, in the process of developing old-age care services, it may be necessary to occupy community venues. Owners often have different opinions on whether to establish old-age care institutions according to whether there are elderly people in different families.

Wan Jie appealed that property service enterprises are facing some "blocking points" in promoting "property service+life service", and hoped that relevant departments would issue detailed implementation rules, straighten out the management authority of property service enterprises, and help enterprises better provide life services such as old-age care.

In terms of improving "property service+life service", the Notice also proposes to guide property service enterprises to provide customized products and personalized services through the smart property management service platform to realize one-click appointment and door-to-door service.

In this regard, the relevant person in charge of china property management institute believes that the smart platform of property service enterprises should be open and shared, not only serving a community, but also radiating to the surrounding communities. Through channels such as mobile APP, the owners of surrounding communities can also enjoy the services of excellent property service enterprises nearby, increase the supply of quality property services and facilitate the lives of surrounding residents.

The person in charge of Longhu Smart Service said that it is also a trend for property service enterprises to go out of the community and serve a wider urban space. Based on the advantages of brand property service enterprises in management and service fineness, as well as the deepening of their own technology penetration, with the improvement of management radius, urban service will bring huge development space for professional property service enterprises.

Original Zhang Yuanyuan traces back to Shanghai

editorial comment/note

No.27 on the Bund, where Miss Li Wang in Blossoms Shanghai struggled, is now No.27 on Zhongshan East 1st Road. Old Shanghai used to call it Foreign Trade Building. This can be said to be the starting point of Shanghai’s foreign trade economy since the founding of New China. The "SFTC" logo in the play is still in use today, and this situation has made many "old foreign traders" dream and have full memories. In this issue, Xiaobian takes you to find the map imprint of this place where opportunities and challenges coexist in Shanghai in the 1990s.

01

Historical evolution of foreign trade building

In 1843

Jardine Matheson, founded in Guangzhou, came to Shanghai to open a branch.

In 1844

Jardine Matheson got the No.1 Land Certificate of British Concession (No.27 Bund) and built an English village-style two-story double-room office building.

In 1861

Jardine Matheson demolished the old house and rebuilt a new building, and built a 15-bay, three-storey brick-wood structure with four slopes facing the Bund, which was the largest building in Shanghai Bund complex at that time.

In 1920

Jardine Matheson was rebuilt again, designed by Si Jiusheng and constructed by Chinese businessman Yuchangtai Construction Factory.

In 1922

Jardine Matheson New Building is completed, which is a six-story reinforced concrete frame structure building with the appearance of imitating the English Renaissance architecture style, ranking second in the whole Bund complex.

1955

Jardine Matheson Building was nationalized, and Shanghai Foreign Trade Bureau was stationed. This building is called Foreign Trade Building.

1979

Shanghai Foreign Trade Corporation was established in the Foreign Trade Building.

1988

In order to meet the needs of the reform of foreign trade system, Shanghai Foreign Trade Corporation was spun off to form Shanghai Foreign Trade Company, which was one of the largest local foreign trade enterprises in China at that time.

In 2007

The property right of the foreign trade building belongs to Shanghai Jiushi (Group) Co., Ltd., and the building repair project was started.

In 2009

Roosevelt residence stationed in the building.

the year of 2018

Shanghai Jiushi Art Museum settled in the building.

02

Establishment of foreign trade center

After the Opium War, Shanghai was forced to open in the 23rd year of Daoguang (1843). Businessman George Smith reported to the British government that "compared with Guangzhou, the price of raw silk tea and other local products purchased by Europeans in Shanghai is at least 10% cheaper". British consul Alcock (R.) also estimated in the 27th year of Daoguang (1847): "Exporting raw silk directly from Shanghai saves at least 35-40% freight compared with re-export in Guangzhou". As a result, the British and American foreign firms originally stationed in Guangzhou quickly set up branches in Shanghai, and merchant ships from various countries arrived in Shanghai directly, and a large number of foreign businessmen poured in, and Shanghai began to have direct business contacts with Europe and the United States. With the geographical advantage of sitting at the intersection of the mouth of the Yangtze River and the center of China coast, Shanghai’s foreign trade has sprung up suddenly, and its status is improving day by day compared with other ports. For example, in the 24th year of Daoguang (1844), only 2% of the tea was exported from Shanghai and 98% from Guangzhou. Just six years later, in the thirty years of Daoguang (1850), the proportion of Shanghai rose to 44%, while that of Guangzhou dropped to 23%. In the 26th year of Daoguang (1856), the export of raw silk in Shanghai was 4.27 times that in Guangzhou. Of course, the sharp rise of Shanghai’s foreign trade is also due to the fact that as a treaty port, foreign businessmen enjoy many privileges. Such as: renting land to build a house, renting a house to set up a stack; Going deep into the mainland for trade and navigation; Participate in agreed tariffs and be sheltered by consular jurisdiction. The foreign taxation department also seized the actual control right of Jiang Customs. According to statistics, ten years after Shanghai opened its port, that is, three years after Xianfeng (1853),The value of imports and exports to Britain has reached 17.2 million US dollars, exceeding Guangzhou’s 10.5 million US dollars. As a result, the center of China’s foreign trade shifted from Guangzhou to Shanghai.

In front of Yihe foreign firm building in the middle of 19th century.

In 1861, the second generation building of Yihe foreign firm was the largest building in the Bund complex in Shanghai at that time.

The foreign trade building No.27 on the Bund used to be the famous Jardine, Matheson & Co.. The founder, Dr.William Jardine, was a doctor of the East India Company on the cargo ship between Guangzhou and Britain, and was familiar with the situation in China before the Opium War. In July, 1832, he founded this foreign firm in partnership with businessman James William James Matheson in Guangzhou. In 1843, Jardine Matheson came to Shanghai to open a branch. The following year, Jardine Matheson got the No.1 land certificate of British Concession (No.27 Bund) and built an English village-style two-story double-room office building. In 1861, Jardine Matheson demolished the old house and rebuilt a new building, and built a 15-bay, three-storey brick-wood four-slope-top building facing the Bund, which was the largest building in the Bund complex in Shanghai at that time and had a magnificent porch with columns.

After entering the 20th century, a new round of renovation and expansion of old buildings on the Bund has started, and Jardine Matheson is no exception. In 1920, Yihe foreign firm was rebuilt again, designed by Si Jiusheng foreign firm and constructed by Chinese businessman Yuchangtai Construction Factory. Two years later, a new six-story building with an area of 2,100 square meters and a building area of 14,300 square meters was completed. The new building is dignified and elegant in appearance, complete in layout, exquisite in materials and beautifully decorated, and its building surface facing the Huangpu River is more than 50 meters wide, ranking second in the whole Bund complex. The appearance of the building imitates the architectural style of the British Renaissance, with a reinforced concrete frame structure. The exterior wall of the whole building is built of granite, and the first and second floors are roughly chiseled with granite. The entrance of the gate is made of stone steps, and the copper-clad gate has a pair of wall lamps on both sides. In the middle of the third to fifth floors, there are four marble Corinthian columns, the bottom of which is square, with balconies and stone railings between the columns. There are all kinds of pumps, generators and water boilers in the building, which shows Jardine’s identity and financial resources and is worthy of the nickname of "the king of foreign firms".

When the Pacific War broke out in 1941, Jardine Matheson was taken over by Mitsui Corporation of Japan. Business resumed in 1946, but the business was not as prosperous as before, so the building was rented out to other organizations, such as Changxing Shipping Company, overseas airlines and Hong Kong Airlines. There are also institutions such as the First Class business counselor of the British Embassy, the Financial Counsellor and the Information Office, which also operate here.

04

Anchorage place for foreign trade economy to take off

After the liberation of Shanghai, Jardine Matheson’s business became increasingly cold. In 1955, the building was nationalized. Since then, the Shanghai Foreign Trade Bureau has been stationed, and this building is affectionately called the Foreign Trade Building. It can be said that Shanghai’s foreign trade economy took off from here.

In December 1979, Shanghai Foreign Trade Corporation was established. In January 1988, in order to meet the needs of foreign trade system reform, with the approval of the former Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation of the People’s Republic of China, Shanghai Foreign Trade Corporation was split and established as Shanghai Foreign Trade Company.

In 1990, Shanghai became a key area of opening to the outside world, especially foreign economic and trade, which opened a rapid development model. The business of Shanghai Foreign Trade Company developed rapidly, and it was once one of the local foreign trade enterprises with the largest import and export volume in China.

From 2007 to 2014, Building No.27 on the Bund was completely protected and renovated, and became a comprehensive building integrating office, business and catering functions. The property right of the building belongs to Shanghai Jiushi (Group) Co., Ltd. At the end of 2009, the senior mansion under the Roosevelt family of the United States entered here, and the luxurious temperament filled the whole old house. In 2018, Shanghai Jiushi Art Museum settled here, and art took root in this century-old building.

Cross-border Integration of Surveying and Mapping and Cultural Protection

Finally, there is an episode. In 1983, in order to alleviate the shortage of office space, the housing management department added two floors to the top of the foreign trade building, which lost the original style of the top of the building. At that time, the building was not included in the cultural relics protection unit, which was a pity.

Wenbao nameplate

Excellent historical buildings and cultural relics protection units, bearing people’s memories and inheriting the urban context, are an important part of urban cultural soft power. At present, in addition to the original building archives drawings and other materials, through advanced mapping technologies such as 3D laser scanning and UAV remote sensing, a "digital real 3D file" with vivid visual expression can be established, which can provide a powerful working basis and intelligent tools for the restoration and cultural communication of historical buildings and cultural relics protection units, and realize the cross-border integration of surveying and mapping and cultural preservation through the fine, structured and objectified data construction of geographical entities and continuous spaces.

　　□ Our reporter Wang Chun

　　□ Our correspondent Wu You Jiang Jie

　　Recently, the Education Bureau of Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province issued an announcement on soliciting opinions on the implementation measures for the withdrawal mechanism of teachers in primary and secondary schools (kindergartens) in Ningbo (draft for comments). The core essence is "to quit the teachers who fail to take up their posts, fail to pass the examination, violate the teachers’ ethics or are incompetent (insist) in teaching posts for other reasons."

　　A stone stirs up a thousand waves. The solicitation of opinions triggered a heated discussion in the society. Many netizens commented that this move would break the tenure system and teachers would no longer be "iron rice bowls".

　　In fact, this move by Ningbo Education Bureau is not the first, and several withdrawal situations mentioned in the opinion draft are those who have long been qualified as "unqualified teachers’ morality" by the Ministry of Education. At the same time, the opinion draft puts forward that "strictly implement the system of prohibiting criminals from working, purify the campus environment and effectively protect minors", which is an extension and landing of the idea of "Opinions on Implementing the System of Prohibiting Working" issued by the Supreme People’s Court, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate and the Ministry of Education.

　　The reporter of "Rule of Law Daily" noticed that building a firewall of rule of law for the healthy growth of minors is an area deeply cultivated by the procuratorial organs in Ningbo in recent years. Its joint education, public security and other departments have implemented detailed relevant systems, forming a strong synergy to protect minors in the city.

　　Pre-query of illegal behavior

　　Intercept potential risks on campus

　　In the exposure draft, the reporter saw: "Teachers who are punished by public security management or sentenced to punishment according to law for sexual assault, abuse, trafficking, violent injury, indecency, drug abuse, prostitution, whoring, gambling and other illegal and criminal acts that may endanger students’ physical and mental health should be dismissed by the school."

　　The basis of this work is the "Inquiring Methods of Criminal Records of Sexual Offences of Employees in Close Contact with Minors in Ningbo" (hereinafter referred to as "the Measures") issued by Ningbo Municipal People’s Procuratorate in December 2019 in conjunction with 12 units including Ningbo Communist Youth League Committee, Municipal Public Security Bureau, Municipal Intermediate People’s Court, Municipal Education Bureau and Civil Affairs Bureau. The Measures was formally implemented on January 1, 2020.

　　The "Measures" propose that close contact with the minor industry includes units, organizations and institutions that have special responsibilities such as guardianship, education, training, rescue, nursing and medical care for minors; Industry personnel include teachers, trainers, coaches, nurses, doctors and other staff who have special responsibilities directly to minors, as well as other staff who are in close contact with minors to facilitate their work.

　　According to statistics, since the implementation of the Measures, Ningbo has inquired about nearly 130,000 people, including on-the-job teaching staff and teachers of training institutions, and found that 12 people have criminal records. The procuratorial organs in Ningbo issued procuratorial suggestions to functional departments and adopted them, effectively blocking the potential risks of campus safety and promoting the improvement of campus safety prevention and control construction.

　　In May, 2020, the People’s Procuratorate of Yuyao found that one of the 23 new recruits who applied for employment in a school in Yuyao had an administrative punishment record for molesting students.

　　After preliminary investigation, Yuyao City Procuratorate immediately obtained its administrative punishment decision, personal resume, application registration form and other related materials, and quickly found out that the person had been administratively punished for molesting two underage girls during his tenure at a school outside Yuyao City.

　　"After discovering this clue, in view of the problem that the education authorities failed to revoke the teacher qualification certificate in time after the person was administratively punished, we issued a procuratorial suggestion to the Ningbo Municipal Education Bureau through the Ningbo Procuratorate, suggesting that it urge the education bureau of a certain district in Ningbo to revoke the teacher qualification certificate of this person." The prosecutor in charge said that at the same time, clues were transferred to the problem that the public security organs imposed too light administrative punishment on the personnel. At present, the person was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment according to law for child molestation.

　　Implement the mandatory reporting system

　　Build a protective wall for students

　　In a case of alleged indecency recently handled by the People’s Procuratorate of Xiangshan County, Ningbo City, the suspect was prosecuted and the class teacher was held accountable for failing to fulfill the mandatory reporting system.

　　One day in March 2022, five female students from a primary school in Xiangshan County walked into a nearby police station to report that they had been molested by their teacher Hu Moumou. The juvenile prosecutor of Xiangshan County Procuratorate quickly rushed to the police station and intervened in the case in advance.

　　From the facts told by the female students, the prosecutor caught that the class teacher and the school where she works may have failed to fulfill the compulsory reporting obligation, and guided the public security organs to seize the obscene written materials written by the victims at the first time. After finding out the facts, Xiangshan County Procuratorate filed a public prosecution against Hu Moumou for allegedly molesting children, and the court sentenced him to 12 years in prison.

　　Although the case has been completed, the prosecutor’s physical and mental protection for minors has continued. On March 24th, Xiangshan County Procuratorate issued a procuratorial proposal, urging the education department to give corresponding punishment to the teachers who failed to fulfill the compulsory reporting obligations and the schools where they work, and requiring the education department to include the implementation of the compulsory reporting system in the annual assessment of schools. The rewards and punishments must be clearly defined in the detailed rules and the relevant responsibilities must be implemented to people. The education department attached great importance to the procuratorial proposal, specially convened a party committee to discuss the matter, adjusted the assessment indicators of the school’s developmental management by objectives within one week, and added "schools that did not incorporate the mandatory reporting system into the assessment indicators of the management by objectives, and implemented a one-vote veto system in the annual assessment" in the "veto item".

　　At the initiative of the procuratorial organs, all the teachers and staff of primary and secondary schools in Xiangshan County signed a total of 9142 letters of commitment to fulfill the obligation of compulsory reporting, ensuring that the compulsory reporting system was implemented. In May 2022, the Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Education Department respectively imposed disciplinary and political sanctions on the relevant responsible personnel.

　　In response to the social management loopholes in the protection of minors found in the handling of cases, Xiangshan County Procuratorate, together with the county public security bureau and the county education bureau, issued the "Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Compulsory Reporting System for Infringement of Minors in Xiangshan County (for Trial Implementation)", taking "three aspects (full investigation of the compulsory reporting of sexual assault cases, full coverage of the signing of the commitment letter of the compulsory reporting system, and full inclusion of the compulsory reporting system in the assessment)" as the starting point, to promote the implementation of the compulsory reporting system and build a protective wall to prevent minors from being infringed.

　　Go into the campus and strengthen the popularization of law

　　Improve the quality and effectiveness of judicial protection

　　In Yinzhou District, Ningbo City, there is an unchecked team of "Seven-color Flowers". At present, seven members are all women, and they strive to bloom and dispel the haze in children’s hearts.

　　Starting from the physical and mental characteristics of minors, the "seven-color flower" unchecked team pioneered a one-stop place and case-handling mode of "integration of prosecutors and police and cooperation between prosecutors and doctors" in the country. The environment of the "one-stop" protection workstation for minors in the hospital is secret and warm, and the resources of all parties are fully utilized to realize the one-time inquiry, evidence collection and inspection of minor victims, so as to avoid "secondary harm".

　　In March, 2021, Ningbo Procuratorate, together with seven units including Ningbo Insurance Office, Municipal Public Security Bureau and Municipal Health and Health Commission, explored the mode of "cooperation between doctors and prosecutors", using the law enforcement case management center of public security organs to open up special case-handling areas, designate special case-handling personnel, implement special rescue teams, and complete the inquiry, physical examination and psychological counseling of underage victims in one stop. At present, the city has built nine "one-stop" protection centers for handling cases.

　　The procuratorial organs at the two levels in Ningbo adopt the principle of minimum tolerance and maximum protection against minors, and accurately and effectively punish crimes against minors. According to statistics, since 2020, the procuratorial organs in Ningbo have approved the arrest of 505 suspects and prosecuted 646 people.

　　At the same time, the procuratorial organs in Ningbo went into the campus to popularize the law and enhance the awareness of the rule of law among minors.

　　It is reported that 178 procuratorial police officers, including 11 chief procurators, have been employed as vice presidents of the rule of law in the procuratorial organs of Ningbo City and conducted publicity on the rule of law. Since 2021, more than 622 lectures on the rule of law with various forms and rich contents have been held online and offline, covering more than 210,000 parents of teachers and students, which has enhanced the concept of the rule of law of teachers and students at school.

　　According to the relevant person in charge of the Ningbo Procuratorate, Ningbo has conscientiously implemented the "No.1 Procuratorial Proposal" in the procuratorial work of minors, and under the guidance of the concept of maximizing the interests of minors, it has paid equal attention to handling cases, supervision, prevention and education, combined punishment with assistance and education, organically integrated protection, education and control, and continuously promoted the two-way, comprehensive and comprehensive judicial protection of minors. At the same time, it has adhered to the combination of specialized handling cases and socialized protection, and actively promoted the systematic support of social support.

Ah, I’m holding back everything.

Sir, just put it here: it must be the best new fan in October!

Open your mouth and eat Amway:

Ranking of Kings

Wang Yun-yi, Wang Yun-yi, Wang Yun-yi

Douban 9.7, the new fan with the highest score.

The 10th anniversary of Hegemony Society (Wit Studio Company of Japan).

What is a hegemonic society?

The production company of "The Attack Giant" (the first three seasons). Sales once occupied the company’s first place, so it was nicknamed "hegemony".

Based on the popular comic book of the same name "The Ranking of Kings".

Once the Japanese media gave this cartoon a reputation:

"A cartoon that adults will definitely cry when they read 40 pages."

But …

Before 40 pages, before the first frame, you may be crying first.

This is also the most unique place of "Kings Ranking"-painting style.

After you have seen all kinds of enchanting and complicated painting styles, it returns to the most 2D and concise fairy tale style.

Not only the style of painting, but also the characters and stories are absolutely solid.

Six months, 23 episodes.

The first episode, more than 20 minutes, has been clear and refreshing to establish a good world outlook!

More importantly.

In just one episode, you will fall in love with this mini, timid and the most failed prince in history-Poggi.

A lot of mom powder is already on the way.

He is the eldest prince of the kingdom ruled by King Perth, who ranks seventh among the kings.

What is the "ranking of kings"?

Even the king should make a list to see who has more knights, who has a vast territory and whose city is more prosperous.

Since Poggi’s father ranked seventh, it seems that he is a hot-blooded fan. Give it to his son to complete the counterattack?

Think too much.

This prince is outrageous.

Poggi didn’t use wisdom and courage to deal with robbers.

But … humility.

The robber said, since you have no money, take off your clothes and give them to me.

The prince just dripped naked.

The robber asked him to hand in valuable clothes at the same time tomorrow.

Poggi also happily accepted!

The next day, Poggi did come, still wearing the most distinguished and valuable clothes.

Come back on the third day, come back on the fourth day, and wear the most valuable clothes to "take off" the robbers every day.

Look at Poggi’s father.

The heroic retainer around him is only the size of his arm.

He once beat away the monster with his bare hands and won back peace for the people all over the world.

You tell me, this TM ranks seventh? ? ?

The prince was stripped naked by robbers, so he had to walk naked in the street.

Born with hearing problems, he has obstacles in expression, and he still looks "stupid" and can’t even hold a sword neatly.

No one thinks that Poggi is a justified first prince, let alone the material for a future king.

People in the palace secretly mocked him, even the common people laughed at him.

With such a prince, what should this country do in the future?

Does Boji really don’t understand these taunts and don’t mind?

You can tell by the expression.

Sweat is all over my face, and my face is red, but nothing can be expressed.

What’s even more worrying is that.

In the empty room, he finally vented his emotions with ease.

Look at the angle of this lens, it has never been aimed at Poggi’s wronged face.

When I cry, I only see the back of my tears and the drops of tears that fall.

Poggi didn’t want anyone to know his weakness.

He has a dream to be the number one king.

So he suffered silently.

The flashbacks at the beginning of the film have already explained everything.

On the bed of her dead mother, her mother comforted the bullied prince.

Make an agreement between them:

Overcome many unpleasant things and become the greatest king in the world.

Of course, in order to realize the agreement with my mother, it is not enough to be stubborn only if you know it.

There is pressure from father and stepmother, and there is pressure from people.

There is also a competitor who everyone thinks is the most suitable to be king:

Bigger and stronger than him, he defeated a team of Prince Dada by himself.

Poggi actually has a killer that no one knows.

At the end of the first episode, the initial account has been completed.

Poggi declared war on Prince Dada.

Is it time to see a joke?

Poggi output is not good, but the passive bonus is high.

Lightweight, agile, good at "avoiding" tactics.

No matter where the opponent attacks, he can easily get out of the way.

When the other person becomes angry from embarrassment, find the right opportunity to hit him head on.

It can be seen that "King Ranking" is an aerial fantasy inspirational fan.

There are no absolute bad guys in it.

Only the contrast is cute and the warmth is cured.

So, why do adults "burst into tears after reading 40 pages?"

Everyone saw themselves from Poggi.

Can kindness overcome everything?

It seems that the adult world does not recognize it.

There was something I wanted to do, but I soon gave up when I was hit by reality.

The comic author, Kusuke Shirakawa, was once such an "adult".

I was determined to be a cartoonist since I was a child, but I couldn’t bear the pressure of serializing cartoons after I entered the business. Like most people, I worked as an office worker for 20 years.

After many years, I still haven’t forgotten the dream of cartoonists.

At the age of 43, he made his official debut in middle age, created "The Rank of Kings" and submitted it to the website.

"King Rank" won various comic awards, the comic version was translated into many languages, and the cartoon version we are seeing now.

His story reminds Sir of a clip in the film:

The prince walked naked in the street without fear.

Adults are whispering.

Children will walk up to them aboveboard and ask, "Why don’t you get dressed?"

The prince can’t talk

What’s his inner answer?

Sir knows that you can’t wait to talk about the emperor’s new clothes.

But in this world that only belongs to children, we are allowed to have another answer:

"Why don’t you get dressed?"

"Because my clothes are gone."

　　May 4th (Zhao Jiaran), the client of Sino-Singapore Jingwei, unconsciously, the "May Day" holiday is coming to an end, and the clarion call for construction has sounded again. Whether you are traveling outside or staying in bed at home, have you successfully "returned to blood" after the holiday adjustment? Do you feel a little stressed when you think about the next six working days?

　　With the rise of "decompression economy", merchants have customized many products according to the new characteristics and new demands of consumption, ranging from a few yuan with low prices to thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan. Follow Jingwei Jun to see if there is any decompression method you like?

　　1-10 yuan: "Decompression artifact" is favored by office workers.

　　Toys have never been children’s patent. On the Internet, some small toys that focus on decompression and venting have become "online celebrity" products in the adult world because of their novel shapes and creative humor.

　　Searching for "decompression" keywords on the e-commerce platform can find thousands of different commodities. Hot-selling toys include venting dumplings, screaming chicken, decompression Rubik’s cube, fingertip gyro, foaming glue, etc., and the prices are usually relatively low, and they can be purchased in 10 yuan.

　　Zhongxin Jingwei saw on the purchase page of a rubber toy in the shape of a small animal that this kind of toy is called "decompression artifact". Each toy is only sold in 1 yuan, but its monthly sales volume has exceeded 20,000. Judging from the comments, many consumers who buy such toys are adults.

　　Another decompression toy seems to be specially made for working people: an enter key bigger than a mouse pad and connected to a computer, which does have the function of the enter key. The store said that the original intention of this toy design is to vent and decompress, and it will not disturb others. Many netizens who bought this product said: "I used to beat the table, but now my temper has converged!" "The whole office came to clap."

　　However, Zhongxin Jingwei noticed that some buyers reported that the rubber toys they bought had problems such as "strong taste", "serious color fading", "very sticky hands" and "easy to damage". In addition, some decompression toys are not accompanied by certification marks such as quality certificate and manufacturer’s logo when they are delivered.

　　According to media reports, recently, the light industrial products laboratory of SGS Tongbiao Standard Technical Service Co., Ltd. conducted safety tests on 11 decompression toys. The results show that there are 7 toys with potential safety hazards. Among them, boron and lead in a magnetic plasticine exceeded the requirements of EU toy standards; Phthalate plasticizers were detected in online celebrity "Screaming Chicken" samples, which exceeded the national toy standard by more than 400 times. The radiation value of the blue LED lamp in the luminous fur ball is too high, which may cause retinal damage.

　　It seems that it is really "the decompression is not standardized, and the relatives have two tears"!

　　10-100 yuan: Single white-collar workers are keen on "playing with" service.

　　With the increasing anxiety of urban single youth, the "companion economy" came into being under the birth of "lonely economy". Although the business activities in the form of companionship and chatting have already appeared, there are still new forms in the past two years.

　　Wang Fei (a pseudonym), a 27-year-old single "Beipiao", told Zhongxin Jingwei that she was busy at work on weekdays and had a rather "homebody" personality, and she liked to watch live broadcasts in her spare time. Recently, when he watched the live broadcast, he learned about the "play with" business and wanted to try it on a whim.

　　Many businesses on the Internet have launched "play-along" services. In an online shop consulted by Wang Fei, the customer service said that the play-along price of popular games such as exciting battlefield and League of Legends is the same, which is one game in 12 yuan or one hour in 20 yuan. The store said that the players are all "game gods", which can not only chat during the game, but also help customers improve their game level. According to the difference of customers’ needs, merchants will also provide different play services, and the highest price is in 40 yuan/hour.

　　"It may be mentioned that there are businesses such as playing and chatting. There will always be people who think of the soft porn industry or other illegal operations, but there are many people who simply seek companionship. Just find an interesting teammate." Wang Fei told Zhongxin Jingwei that he now spends about 100 yuan every month on playing, which is equivalent to two or three meals.

　　Some studies have said that the companion economy may be the next billion-dollar market. According to the research released by Guojin Securities Research Institute, in December 2018, the total number of monthly active users of companion apps reached 42.13 million, including 16.67 million free apps and 25.46 million paid apps. In the view of Guojin Securities Research Institute, by 2025 or so, the market scale of accompanying economy may reach the current live broadcast market scale, that is, 40-50 billion yuan.

　　100,000+:Are you there? Take time to go for a walk in Antarctica.

　　It is common practice for many people to travel during holidays to "escape" the pressure in their work and life. At present, with the strengthening of the commercialization of tourist attractions and the rapid development of the domestic tourism market, many travel agencies are seeking differentiated services, and Antarctic travel has gradually entered the public eye.

　　Ms Liao, who lives in Beijing, has already started preparing for her trip to Antarctica at the end of this year. For her who loves traveling, the scenic spots and itineraries at home and abroad are gradually routinized, and the itinerary will more or less include shopping, while the polar regions that were rarely visited before give her a mysterious and relaxing feeling.

　　"Travel agencies require reservations more than 100 days in advance, and only two tours are organized each year, so I can only make an appointment to leave at the end of this year." Ms. Liao said that some people think that this kind of entertainment is expensive and cost-effective, but she thinks that this kind of travel away from the hustle and bustle of the city can not only reduce the pressure of urban life, but also satisfy her curiosity.

　　Wang Kaijun, the founder of Beijing Wuzhouxing International Travel Service, said in an interview with Zhongxin Jingwei that the company has launched Antarctic tourism projects for several years, but in recent years, with the improvement of the internal hardware and the improvement of the itinerary of cruise ships, Antarctic tourism has become more popular. Although the journey is long, and even part of the journey is not so comfortable, the Antarctic still attracts groups of tourists with its unique characteristics.

　　"It takes more than 20 days before and after the Antarctic tour, so many employees can’t take time, but they can still see young tourists." Wang Kaijun said that according to the different modes of travel, the number of scenic spots and the conditions of cruise ships, the charge standard for Antarctic tour of Wuzhou Tour is usually 80,000-100,000 yuan or higher.

　　According to "Chinese Antarctic Tourism Report 2018-2019" released by Ctrip, tourists who book polar travel on Ctrip can spend up to 640,000 yuan for a single person to go to Antarctica or South America+Antarctica, with a minimum of 50,000 yuan and a per capita spending of about 110,000 yuan. According to the report, 46.5% of Antarctic tourists are born after 1980s.

　　In addition, many travel products now take healing and decompression as their selling points, aiming to distinguish them from "punch-in" tourism. The person in charge of Caesars Tourism in Beijing told Zhongxin Jingwei that in recent years, domestic consumers have more diverse ways and choices of travel, and some travel products that focus on relaxing, such as hiking, yoga and meditation, have been favored by urban consumers.

　　There are thousands of ways to decompress, perhaps the one that suits you best is not necessarily the most expensive. In the face of pressure, will you choose to take a sleep to ease it, or reward yourself with your labor income? Please share your unique decompression method with us! (Zhongxin Jingwei APP)

Entering 2023, tariffs have ushered in new adjustments-

From January 1st, a provisional import tariff rate lower than the MFN tariff rate will be applied to 1020 commodities; From January 2nd, the tariff rate of RCEP will be applied to some commodities originating in Indonesia. From July 1st, the eighth step will be implemented to reduce the MFN tariff rate of 62 information technology products …

In this tariff adjustment schedule, "down" has become the key word. Experts pointed out that in recent years, China has successively lowered import tariffs on related commodities, boosting global good goods to enter the China market, which not only meets the domestic consumption upgrading and enterprise production needs, but also provides countries with broader market opportunities and shares the China opening bonus.

China’s overall tariff level will drop to 7.3%.

■ Since January 1, 2023, China has imposed a provisional import tariff rate lower than the MFN tariff rate on 1,020 commodities. This number has increased by 66 items compared with the previous year, maintaining growth for four consecutive years.

■ On January 2nd, RCEP came into effect for Indonesia. So far, the world’s largest free trade agreement has come into effect for 14 of its 15 signatory members. Since January 2nd, China has implemented the agreed tariff rate applicable to RCEP ASEAN member countries in 2023 for some imported goods originating in Indonesia.

■ In 2023, China will reduce the import tariffs on homogenized mixed food, frozen blue cod, cashew nuts and other small household appliances such as coffee machines, juicers and hair dryers. Among them, the tax rate of homogenized mixed food, frozen blue cod and other commodities decreased by not less than 50%.

■ From July 1, 2023, China will also implement the eighth step of reducing the MFN tariff rate for 62 information technology products. After adjustment, the total tariff level of China will be reduced from 7.4% to 7.3%.

Further tax reduction in accordance with the FTA and RCEP

At the beginning of the new year, RCEP has made new progress: it came into effect for Indonesia on January 2. So far, the world’s largest free trade agreement has come into effect for 14 of its 15 signatory members.

China is Indonesia’s largest trading partner and the largest export market. After the entry into force of RCEP, the new measures of commodity tariff reduction and exemption introduced by China are a major attraction. The State Council Customs Tariff Commission recently released the tariff adjustment plan for 2023. According to the relevant provisions of RCEP and the entry into force of the agreement for Indonesia, the agreed tariff rate applicable to RCEP ASEAN member countries in 2023 will be implemented for some imported goods originating in Indonesia from January 2. Specifically, on the basis of the China-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement, China will reduce taxes on Indonesian-made pineapple juice and canned food, coconut juice, pepper, diesel oil, paper products, some chemicals and auto parts, among which 67.9% products originating from Indonesia will be subject to immediate zero tariffs from January 2.

"The higher level of openness advocated and led by China is urgently needed by developing economies including Indonesia." Nina Dai, Consul General of Indonesia in Shanghai, said that the China International Import Expo(CIIE) held in China enhanced the recognition and reputation of Indonesian brands in China. In 2021, the bilateral trade volume between the two countries increased by about 56%, of which Indonesian exports increased by nearly 70%. The entry into force of RCEP for Indonesia will continue to promote the deepening of economic, trade and investment relations between Indonesia and China, and further strengthen the existing cooperation.

At present, RCEP has entered the second year of effective implementation. Over the past year or so, China has implemented RCEP with high quality, fully implemented market opening commitments and agreement obligations, continuously promoted tariff reduction and exemption, and promoted trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, which has injected new impetus into the economic and trade development in the Asia-Pacific region and the world.

While reducing or exempting tariffs for newly effective members this year, the State Council Customs Tariff Commission clearly stated that it will further reduce tariffs in accordance with China’s free trade agreements with New Zealand, South Korea, Australia and Cambodia and RCEP.

"With the in-depth implementation of RCEP, New Zealand enterprises are facing more favorable tariffs and more convenient trade measures. The improvement of the business environment has enabled the company’s sales in China to grow rapidly, and it has also enabled China consumers to obtain quality products quickly." Roy Vandenke, general manager of R&D of New Zealand company Newland, said that China’s huge market provides opportunities for international companies like Newland and will also promote the recovery of the world economy. It is foreseeable that RCEP’s inclusive development dividend will make the development of the Asia-Pacific region more prosperous.

Gu Qingyang, an associate professor at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore, believes that tariff reduction has greatly reduced the trade costs among member countries, made trade activities more active and effectively promoted economic growth, which is a tangible benefit brought by RCEP through trade channels. "China plays an important role in RCEP and is also the main export destination of other RCEP member countries. The stronger economic growth of China in the future will provide RCEP with a broader development space. "

Reduce tariffs on many medical products and consumer goods.

The new round of tariff adjustment involves not only the agreed tariff rate, but also many new changes in MFN tariff rate and provisional tariff rate. According to insiders, the most-favored-nation tax rate is the tax rate applicable to imported goods from most countries in China. Provisional tariff rate refers to the tariff rate for some imported and exported goods within a certain period. The provisional tariff rate is generally lower than the MFN tariff rate, which is a common way to adjust tariffs independently.

According to the tariff adjustment plan for 2023, from January 1st, China implemented a provisional import tariff rate lower than the MFN tariff rate for 1,020 commodities. This number has increased by 66 items compared with the previous year, maintaining growth for four consecutive years.

Sorting out the adjusted catalogue, the reporter found that there are many medical products, such as zero tariffs on some raw materials for anticancer drugs, anti-novel coronavirus drugs and drugs for relieving cancer pain, and reducing import tariffs on medical supplies such as dentures, raw materials for vascular stents and contrast agents.

Zhang Jianping, deputy director of the Academic Committee of the Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, analyzed that in the tariff adjustment in recent years, medicine has always been the key area of tax reduction, including zero tariffs on the first and second batches of anticancer drugs and raw materials for rare diseases, and reducing import tariffs on medical products such as artificial heart valves, hearing AIDS, intracranial embolic stents and artificial joints. These measures are helpful to further protect people’s health and reduce the economic burden of patients.

Consumer goods for daily use is another focus of this tariff adjustment. According to the published provisional tax rate table for imported goods, in 2023, the import tariffs on homogenized mixed food, frozen blue cod, cashew nuts and other small household appliances such as coffee machines, juicers and hair dryers will be reduced. Among them, the tax rate of homogenized mixed food, frozen blue cod and other commodities decreased by not less than 50%.

Zhang Jianping believes that at present, China’s consumer demand continues to grow, and the consumption structure is accelerating to upgrade, and the demand for foreign consumer goods with distinctive advantages is heating up. This tax reduction is conducive to conforming to the trend of consumption upgrading and meeting the new consumption demand of residents with high-quality supply; At the same time, it will help imported products compete with domestic products, guide the transformation and upgrading of the supply system, keep up with changes in consumer demand, and achieve a dynamic balance between supply and demand at a higher level.

In addition to medical products and consumer goods, this adjustment also highlights two aspects: first, zero tariffs will be imposed on potash fertilizer and unwrought cobalt, and import tariffs on some commodities such as wood and paper products and boric acid will be reduced; The second is to reduce import tariffs on lithium niobate, electronic ink screens, iridium oxide for fuel cells, roller bearings for wind turbines and other commodities. Experts said that reducing import tariffs on these goods will not only help strengthen the supply capacity of resources, but also promote the innovation and development of advanced manufacturing industries and accelerate industrial transformation and upgrading.

China’s overall tariff level will drop to 7.3%.

Frequent measures to reduce taxes have pushed the overall tariff level in China down continuously. According to the announcement issued by the State Council Customs Tariff Commission, starting from July 1, 2023, China will also implement the eighth step of MFN tariff reduction for 62 information technology products. After adjustment, the total tariff level of China will be reduced from 7.4% to 7.3%.

In December 2015, 24 WTO members, including China, the United States, Europe, Japan and South Korea, reached an agreement on expanding the product range of the Information Technology Agreement, and gradually abolished the import tariffs on 201 information technology expanded products according to the most-favoured-nation treatment principle. These products mainly include information and communication products, semiconductors and their production equipment, audio-visual products, medical devices, instruments and meters, etc. The annual global trade volume exceeds 1 trillion US dollars. In 2016, China implemented tax reduction for the products expanded by the Information Technology Agreement for the first time, and has implemented seven-step tax reduction so far.

According to the analysis of insiders, the gradual tax reduction according to the agreement will help reduce the import cost of related components and equipment, better meet the production needs of enterprises, promote the domestic related industries and economies to move towards high-quality development, and will also effectively promote global trade and high-tech development.

The general tariff level is one of the important indicators of a country’s openness in the field of goods trade. The data show that since China joined the WTO for more than 20 years, it has fully fulfilled its WTO commitments and continuously opened its market. The total tariff level has dropped from 15.3% to 7.4% in 2022, which is lower than the WTO commitment of 9.8%.

"Since 2018, China has introduced a series of measures such as implementing zero tariffs on imported anticancer drugs and encouraging the import of innovative drugs. In the following years, a number of innovative drugs of Bayer prescription drugs were approved for listing in China." Steve, chief financial officer of Bayer China, said, "We recognize and attach great importance to China’s opening to the outside world, and we have seen a very favorable business environment in China, which makes us more confident in the future."

Chiwharton, a Swiss flavor and fragrance company, is also one of the beneficiaries of China’s tariff reduction. "The reduction of tariffs has brought significant benefits to enterprises and enhanced our confidence in development." Wu Chongqing, the operation director of Chihuaton China, said that in 2022, China reduced the import tax rate of peppermint oil and orange oil, and the import cost of the company’s two main production raw materials decreased, saving tens of millions of yuan in taxes every year. "This not only eased the cost pressure caused by the rising price of raw materials, but also enabled the company to bring more cost-effective products to downstream customers and consumers, making our China factory more advantageous."

Zhang Jianping said that in recent years, China has taken the initiative to reduce the overall tariff level and introduced a series of new measures to reduce tariffs independently, which has made the world see that China is opening wider and wider, and also made China’s development better benefit the world and promoted all countries to share the big market opportunities in China.
