Food packaging: too much garbage for sanitation workers to eat.

Expanded foods such as bagged potato chips are also over-packaged. (@ vision china)

The specialty food sold by a merchant is "layered" on the packaging.

In a garbage transfer station, sanitation workers are handling a pile of abandoned foam boxes.

Since September 1, 2023, the mandatory national standard GB23350-2021 "Food and Cosmetics for Restricting Overpackaging of Commodities" (hereinafter referred to as the "new national standard") revised by the State Administration of Market Supervision has been officially implemented, which clearly stipulates the number of packaging layers, packaging cost and packaging void ratio of 31 kinds of food and 16 kinds of cosmetics, including tea. In the past few days, the reporter visited several sanitation stations and garbage transfer stations and learned that over-packaging of food still exists, and most food packaging bags are not recyclable, so they can only be classified as "other garbage" and finally disposed of by incineration, which brings great waste. The commodity packaging that consumers paid for turned out to be the garbage that sanitation workers cleaned up. Should this phenomenon cause reflection? The reporter conducted an investigation and interview on this.

A three-layer package of birthday cake is all non-recyclable garbage except the carton.

At 4 o’clock every morning, when people are still asleep, sanitation worker Luo Xiumei has already got up and started a day’s work.

At 7 o’clock in the morning, at a garbage collection point in Jiangnan Middle Street, Luo Xiumei picked up rubber gloves and sorted the garbage in the trash can for the second time. "Look at this birthday cake box. It has three floors inside and three floors outside, and all the plastic garbage is not recyclable." The reporter saw that this birthday cake box has three layers of packaging, the innermost layer is a plastic bracket, the second layer is a white hard plastic, which plays the role of "shaping" the cake, and the third layer is a beautiful paper box. The reporter visually observed that this cake box is about 30 cm wide.

Luo Xiumei said frankly that this kind of food packaging waste is the most "headache" for sanitation workers. "In addition to the outermost layer of cartons, others are not recyclable. If there is still unfinished cake mixed in the box, we must first dispose of the cake as kitchen waste, then collect the carton as recyclable waste, and then bundle the hard plastic as non-recyclable waste separately. " She told reporters that it often takes four or five minutes to sort out a cake box.

Engaged in sanitation work for many years, Luo Xiumei increasingly felt the workload brought by food over-packaging. "This kind of hard plastic is neither recyclable nor easy to compress, and it is very troublesome to handle. Often two packaging boxes need to occupy a large garbage bag, and sometimes there are more than a dozen cars in this hard plastic packaging box at the end of the day. "

A box of four-layer packaging products of American ginseng tablets accounts for less than 1/5 of the packaging volume.

A garbage transfer station located in Dong Xiao South Road is a large-scale centralized collection and transportation place of domestic garbage in Haizhu District. Journalists can also see all kinds of food packaging waste here. Master Wang, a sanitation worker, opened a packaging box of American ginseng slices. First, there was a layer of velvet cloth, followed by a hard bracket, a plastic box with a concave bottom, and the outermost layer was a hard plastic packaging box. "The product is estimated to be less than 1/5 of the entire packaging volume. Except for a few pieces of American ginseng, everything else should be thrown away as garbage. Velvet cloth like this is non-recyclable garbage. This bracket material is neither glass nor plastic. It may be a synthetic material and cannot be recycled. We can only smash it and take it away as other garbage. "

"We monitor all the more than 200 sanitation workers around the world. Because of the large amount of domestic garbage, we have to clear the road garbage twice a day. Overpackaged food packaging materials like this make sanitation workers miserable." Kong Xiangying, director of Jiangnan Zhongjie City Appearance and Environmental Sanitation Supervision and Inspection Institute, was deeply touched by the over-packaging of food. "Now all kinds of food, tea, nutrition and packaging boxes are too exaggerated, and most of these packaging boxes are not recyclable, so they can only be transported to waste incineration power plants for waste treatment."

Sanitation workers "stand in barrels" overtime, and food packaging waste accounts for about 30% of the daily domestic waste.

Kong Xiangying introduced that Jiangnan Middle Street is located in the prosperous business district of Haizhu District, and there are many kinds of packaged domestic garbage. "The amount of domestic waste that our environmental monitoring institute is responsible for clearing and transporting every day reaches more than 80 tons, and all kinds of food packaging waste account for about 30%."

There are three kinds of food packaging that impressed Kong Xiangying: tea packaging box, moon cake (zongzi) packaging box and nutrition (nourishing) gift box packaging. After various festivals, the food packaging waste to be treated will be doubled than usual, and sanitation workers often have to work overtime from morning until late at night. "Some gift boxes are not only beautifully packaged, but even the individual products in the boxes are packaged in exquisite small plastic boxes, and these hard plastic boxes are not recyclable, and finally they are burned, which is a waste of resources."

Kong Xiangying said that not only the "pool area" of food packaging is getting bigger and bigger, but also some snack packaging, which has increased the burden on front-line sanitation workers. "The so-called’ pool area’ refers to the package void ratio, which refers to the ratio of the necessary space volume occupied by removing the contents in the package to the total volume of the package. According to the new national standard, food packaging should not exceed three layers, and the production organization should take measures to control the cost of all packaging except the packaging that is in direct contact with the inner packaging not to exceed 20% of the product sales. The calculation of packaging voidage requires different requirements according to the different net contents of a single commodity. Take a food with a net content of more than 50mL/g as an example, and its porosity shall not exceed 30%. "

According to this standard, many snack packaging bags collected and transported by Kong Xiangying and his workers at the garbage station are also "exceeding the standard". For example, she said that the big bag of potato chips or puffed food that people often eat is 30 cm long, but the food itself accounts for less than half of the area of the bag. "In order to make food look more’ material’, merchants fill it with air. But this kind of plastic packaging bag can’t be recycled, and it can’t be mixed with other domestic garbage. Every day, just sorting these plastic bags, sanitation workers need to’ stand in the bucket’ for two hours. "

The reporter learned that most of the plastic packaging bags mentioned by Kong Xiangying are made of polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride. The reason why these plastic packaging boxes and plastic bags are not recyclable is that the materials themselves are not degradable, and there are often residues and pollutants on the packaging boxes. The cost of cleaning these waste plastics is often higher than their own value.

In this regard, Pan Yiwen, director of Huazhou Street City Appearance and Environmental Sanitation Supervision Institute, also feels the same way. "Over-packaging of food has increased the daily workload of our sanitation workers by one-third, and sanitation vehicles have to run several times a day." According to Pan Yiwen, the villages under the jurisdiction of Huazhou Street are densely populated. The institute is responsible for clearing and transporting about 150 tons of domestic garbage every day, and food packaging garbage accounts for about 30% of them.

The recycling cost of foam box is high, and the "special-shaped" packaging and composite plastic products are difficult to handle.

In a garbage transfer station on Dong Xiao South Road, dozens of foam boxes stand out. "This kind of foam box is difficult to handle, and enterprises are not willing to accept it and lose money." The sanitation workers at the scene told reporters.

Pan Yiwen said that foam boxes like this are bulky, light in weight and low in recycling value, and there may be thousands of foam boxes thrown away every day in this area. "White foam boxes are recyclable garbage with extremely low value, and in some places they are classified as non-recyclable garbage. Because of their light weight, high transportation cost, they need special venues and compression equipment in the post-treatment process, and the overall disposal cost is extremely high. Like a 5-ton pickup vehicle, it can only collect and transport dozens of kilograms of foam boxes, and the light freight is not a small expense. "

Pan Yiwen also introduced that some food packaging is not only three layers inside and three layers outside like a doll, but also "abnormal" in shape, which is extremely difficult to handle. "For example, the base in the liquor packaging box belongs to a special shape. The base of each liquor is different, and it is a composite plastic product that cannot be recycled, and a layer of hard plastic on the liquor packaging is also recyclable." He said that in many cases, in order to facilitate transportation, sanitation workers even use hammers to break these hard plastics into pieces. When dealing with these "special-shaped" packages, it is also common for sanitation workers to get their hands cut.

Kong Xiangying once visited the waste incineration power plant and understood how difficult it is to treat this kind of plastic waste. "A variety of plastics are often used in a plastic product, and each batch of plastic products needs to add different chemical additives according to different product requirements. Even if the plastic products are recycled, the chemical structure of recycled plastic products is likely to be affected by previous mechanical forces and high temperature treatment, and the performance is greatly reduced." She said that the recycling of plastics is not as simple as putting all the plastics together. In fact, because many plastics are difficult to recycle, the final treatment method is to burn them to generate electricity, but at the same time it will also produce toxic gases and solid particles that pollute the environment.

Take-out also has over-packaging, and nearly ten pieces of single take-out packaging waste.

Wang Fengli, director of the Second Cleaning Office of Tianhe District Urban Management, told the reporter that with the increasing consumption of take-away, some over-packaged take-away also added a burden to sanitation workers. Except for most of the take-away lunch boxes, other packages in the take-away are not recyclable.

A pair of chopsticks, a plastic spoon, a plastic round bowl, a plastic round bowl cover and a plastic bag. If soy sauce, vinegar or other seasonings are added to the user’s order, 3 to 5 small plastic bags will be produced … For such an order, the amount of garbage generated by the user after eating a takeaway meal will be nearly 10 pieces. However, many disposable tableware and lunch boxes distributed by merchants are actually not used by customers. "There are spoons and chopsticks at home. Many of these disposable tableware have been lost on the spot. For sanitation workers, it is very difficult to handle these non-recyclable take-away packaging." Wang Fengli said that because the take-away packaging needs to be dry and wet, many takeaways may be thrown into the trash can before they are finished. Sanitation workers need to clean up the unfinished meals first, and then recycle all parts of the take-away packaging. Take-away lunch boxes, plastic bags, seasoning bags, tableware bags should be classified, and the work area of sanitation workers in this institute includes crowded places like guangzhou east railway station, so the workload of handling take-away packaging can be imagined. "We handle thousands of take-away lunch boxes every day, and we call for less over-packaging." Chen Guangyou, monitor of the East Station of the Second Cleaning Office of Tianhe District Urban Management, said.

Let the national standard "grow teeth" and let enterprises dare not "step on the red line"

Lu Pengyi, director of Guangdong Packaging Technology Association, has been engaged in the packaging industry for more than 20 years, and he also feels the same way about food over-packaging. "Nowadays, the packaging of many foods and gifts can not be described as extravagant and extravagant, which is completely beyond the scope of normal packaging. Excessive packaging causes a lot of garbage pollution, which not only increases the burden on sanitation workers, but also costs consumers."

"Now 70% of the tea, nutrition and snacks on the market are over-packaged." Lu Pengyi said that companies often find him, hoping that in addition to designing food packaging bags more beautifully, they can also design several layers of packaging bags to make them look more luxurious. Every time a guest puts forward such a request, Lu Pengyi will persuade him: "Product packaging only needs to undertake the most basic functions, so it can be transported and carried without pollution. Even if you want to promote the brand through product packaging, you can’t overdo it, otherwise it will damage the image of the enterprise."

Lu Pengyi said that because the relevant food packaging industry standards promulgated by the state many years ago are only recommended standards, unless the products of enterprises are investigated and dealt with on the spot by relevant administrative law enforcement departments, enterprises have no sense of urgency about the problem of excessive packaging of goods. "Take the cost as an example. There is an unwritten rule in the packaging industry that the cost of outer packaging of products does not exceed 20% of the selling price of products. However, many food production enterprises do not hesitate to spend a lot of money on packaging in order to give their own products extra points, such as some tea and tonics. There are three or four layers of light packaging boxes, and the price of packaging boxes far exceeds 20% of the selling price of products. This is in the final analysis because the rigidity of the old standard is not enough. "

According to the new national standard implemented on September 1st last year, commodity producers and operators who produce and operate commodities that do not meet the packaging requirements stipulated in the new national standard shall be ordered by the market supervision and administration department of the local people’s government at or above the county level or relevant departments to make corrections according to relevant laws and regulations, and those who refuse to make corrections shall be fined from 2,000 yuan to 20,000 yuan, and those who are serious shall be fined from 20,000 yuan to 100,000 yuan.

Lu Pengyi said that the key to curb the problem of food over-packaging is to formulate mandatory standards, strengthen the inspection of product packaging law enforcement, make national standards "grow teeth" and impose heavy penalties on enterprises that violate the new national standards, so that enterprises are afraid to "step on the red line" and gradually establish the concept that "simple packaging is fashion". "After enterprises adapt to the new national standard, the problem of food over-packaging is expected to improve."

Chengdu female college students joined the army and went to South Sudan for peacekeeping for one year and won the "Medal of Honor" of the United Nations.

  The third batch of female soldiers from China went to South Sudan (Juba) Peacekeeping Infantry Battalion. Before joining the army, they studied in Chengdu University, majoring in radio and television in 2012. In 2014, he became the squad leader in the first year of enlistment. In the second year, he won gold and silver in the competition in the central theater. In the third year, he went to Africa to carry out peacekeeping missions on behalf of the motherland. She is proficient in precision shooting, applied shooting, thread connection, climbing fixation and other military skills, and has learned and mastered many languages such as English, Arabic and Japanese.

  In the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, the South Sudan Peacekeeping Infantry Battalion and the United Nations Mission in South Sudan awarded all the officers and men of the third batch of peacekeeping infantry battalions from China to South Sudan (Juba) the Medal of Peace in recognition of their contributions to the cause of maintaining peace in South Sudan in the past year.

  This is the highest honor for United Nations peacekeeping forces.

  As a peacekeeping female soldier, zhangqin stood upright in the awarding team. She felt that it was the proudest time to raise the national flag and sing the national anthem. "It’s exciting." More than 10,000 kilometers away from China, the war-torn South Sudan has been assessed by the United Nations as one of the most dangerous and turbulent countries in the world. Here, it is common to fall asleep and wake up with gunfire.

  Zhangqin rarely talks about this with her family. This girl who smiles with her eyes bent into a crescent moon prefers to tell her parents about exotic wonders in the weekly video: at night here, the starry sky will be particularly bright, and children’s hair is often soft and natural; When entering the refugee camp, everyone will give a thumbs-up to the China soldiers and say "China good ”“good China".

  That dream

  Join the army in sophomore year.

  "It’s up to me to decide whether it’s worthwhile to row."

  "I want to be a soldier!" When Zhang Liegang first heard her daughter say that she would join the army, she just smiled. At that time, zhangqin, who had just entered high school, was like a little monkey who had not yet grown up. She loved to laugh and make fun. She was booed and performed in class activities. She went to the podium and sang a favorite song.

  "I feel like a child, one idea a day, and I don’t know if the baby is really so persistent." The unexpected in my father’s eyes has long been traceable. Zhangqin’s high school was spent in a juvenile military academy, and the seeds sown in the little girl’s heart by the green military camp became more and more eager to break through the ground as she grew older.

  As a result, zhangqin wanted to be a real soldier and experience the truest life in the army, and as the only daughter in the family, she lived peacefully.

  Before going to college, zhangqin’s biggest setback was that he failed to enter the military school after the college entrance examination. "I still want to toss." After entering Chengdu University, zhangqin began to sign up for enlistment.

  Wang Jiazheng, counselor of Wenxin College of Chengdu University, still remembers that zhangqin in the university was very good. "She is a sensible girl, a reporter in the newspaper, a student union officer and a dancer." Looking through the photos of zhangqin’s freshman year, I found that Shunze had long hair, a simple white shirt, and he was somewhat shy for the camera, and the clean breath made people smile.

  It is this clever girl who passed the physical examination, political examination and other layers of selection in her sophomore year and received the notice of enlistment.

  "At that time, the phones were all ringing off the hook." Recalling this, zhangqin laughed. Because I didn’t tell too many people before, the news of joining the army "exploded" with a bunch of questions and greetings. At that time, what she heard most was similar to "the army is too bitter for girls" and "it’s not worthwhile to go to the army without reading a good book."

  "It’s not worthwhile to row, of course, I have the final say!" Zhangqin’s personality is soft but persistent, knowing that too many people write down their answers on the answer sheet of life in a hurry. Therefore, when there is something she likes and wants to insist on, she will hold it tightly.

  Zhangqin is training for assassination.

  Enter the barracks

  Practice everything from the beginning

  Failure of others is not the reason to give up.

  Hold on to your dreams, hold on to your dreams, and then what happens after that? ?

  "pay." Cut your hair short and put away your beautiful clothes. Zhangqin, who wished to join the army, spent only six months, from the soldier of the communication duty station to the commander of the sergeant training team. It was during the training that she met the first hurdle — — Apply shooting.

  In training, the application of shooting requires high comprehensive quality of individual soldiers. It is necessary to choose shooting positions at any time according to the changes of topography and features, and also to adjust the shooting distance and correct the trajectory according to the distance of the target. Before zhangqin, many female soldiers "folded their wings" here.

  Failure of others is not a reason to give up. In the next four months, zhangqin first appeared in the training ground at 5 o’clock every morning in the dark sky. Quickly leap forward, lie down and crawl, and make fine adjustments in simple and mechanical repetition. In order to practice aiming in lying position, kneeling position and standing position, she hangs a helmet or kettle at the muzzle and aims for hours.

  Finally, the hand with the pen has calluses, and the young body is used to bruises. It won the championship in one fell swoop in the examination of shooting subjects and became the best gift for zhangqin. After the training, she became the monitor of the recruit class.

  Challenges are always there. In order to participate in the competition of communication specialty in the Central Theater, zhangqin studied communication cable specialty from scratch. When I first started to learn the thread connection, my hand was scratched by the frozen back thread. It’s cold, and thin hands can’t hold pliers. In order to save time, she held another pliers in her mouth; In order to improve the speed, a simple knot should be tied with thousands of … … After a training session, my hand was pricked with blood. At most, I put seven band-AIDS on one hand, and at last my fingers were chapped.

  "Later, we won the first place in the group army and won the second place in the cable professional thread connection project as a representative in the final." Talking about this, zhangqin still can’t hide his pride.

  Go to peacekeeping

  Quenched into steel in the war

  Force the gunman to surrender his weapon.

  For South Sudan, which only became independent from Sudan in July 2011, the dawn of independence did not bring peace. During the protracted civil war, conflicts broke out frequently between government forces and anti-government forces. Under the disaster of frequent wars, the United Nations authorized the establishment of the United Nations Special Mission in South Sudan (referred to as UNMISS) to be stationed in the United Nations peacekeeping force.

  China sent United Nations peacekeeping engineering units and medical units to the region many years ago. In July 2016, the conflict in South Sudan continued, and the mission area where peacekeeping officers and soldiers were located was even more affected by the war. Two martyrs, Li Lei and Yang Shupeng, died unfortunately to protect civilians in the local armed conflict.

  In August of that year, zhangqin, who had just finished the tournament, took the initiative to find an instructor, handed in an application and signed up for peacekeeping. "There are many places in this world that are not peaceful, and someone has to stand up." Zhang Qin persuaded his parents.

  Wan Li went to Rong Ji, and the mountain was flying.

  In December 2016, after a long flight of nearly 20 hours, zhangqin arrived in Juba, the capital of South Sudan. Looking down from the plane, the city nourished by the Nile water is still like a malnourished "child". On the endless plains, thatched houses and cement buildings are scattered.

  Information released by the United Nations shows that South Sudan is currently one of the most dangerous and difficult peacekeeping mission areas in the world. On the streets of Juba, armed men with guns or pickup trucks with machine guns can be seen every few tens of meters.

  "The closest to danger, the gun was pointed at us." Zhangqin mentioned that when going out on a mission, several gunmen came face to face and insisted on breaking into the restricted weapons area.

  "According to the requirements of the United Nations, it is forbidden to bring weapons into the restricted weapons area." On the one hand, zhangqin and his comrades-in-arms shouted at the gunmen, and on the other hand, they encircled them according to the favorable terrain. However, gunmen do not compromise easily, and even bluntly want to break in.

  It must be stopped! Once the gunmen break in, it will bring a series of negative effects. Not only will it weaken the influence of the United Nations on the ground, but it will also have a bad influence on chinese peacekeepers’s insufficient ability to defend the safety of civilians. In case of emergency, zhangqin and his comrades decisively shocked him by force. Finally, the gunman obediently handed over his weapon. "No time to be nervous, really, this is the daily life of our peacekeepers."

  On October 4th, zhangqin was awarded the Medal of Honor for Peace in South Sudan.

  hope to

  Traces of war can be seen everywhere.

  The comforting and lively scene on the streets of Juba

  At the Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony, Schumacher, Deputy Special Representative of the United South Soviet Mission, highly praised China’s support for the UN peacekeeping cause and fully affirmed the dedication and professionalism of China peacekeepers. Schumacher especially thanked the female officers and men in chinese peacekeepers for their contribution to the cause of peace in South Sudan.

  Zhangqin is proud to be one of them. In chinese peacekeepers, there is no difference between the tasks that female soldiers and male soldiers have to undertake. They patrol the weapons restricted area outside the UNHouse camp, receive foreign guests, exchange cultural information with foreign countries, protect the rights and interests of women and children, and also perform tasks such as guarding and searching weapons in refugee camps.

  During the year of peacekeeping, China’s peacekeeping troops often entered the refugee camps to provide help. The tropical sun is blazing, and in refugee camps, shacks are mostly made of similar waterproof sheets, and residents are dressed in rags. Due to the lack of medical conditions, the wounds of local people are often exposed and covered with dust. Thin children, with big black and white eyes, followed the troops and asked for food and water.

  Every time I meet a refugee, the children will gather around and stand behind the female soldiers, timidly helping these big sisters comb their hair and wipe their sweat. "I feel sad and gratified." Here, a mineral water bottle will become children’s favorite toy, and it will be played as a football all afternoon. When the patrol car passes by, they will chase the car and keep shouting "China".

  On Children’s Day, zhangqin, together with his comrades-in-arms, gave gifts to the children in the local village, and the children jumped and laughed with joy. There were also fellowship with refugee camps and cultural exchange activities with Juba University. Everyone gave a thumbs-up to these China peacekeepers and said "China good".

  Nowadays, zhangqin is used to shaking his shoes before putting them on, and cleaning up the mosquitoes, snakes and scorpions that may be hidden in them. She can run for several kilometers in a thick bulletproof vest, and she can finish wearing the equipment in the shortest time.

  Of course, the little girl’s shyness will still be revealed inadvertently. In the circle of friends, she will also vomit for the local high price. "The ice cream of 30 yuan is eaten at once, and it hurts."

  After feeling distressed, there is also happiness. In her view, although the local war is not over yet and traces of war can be seen everywhere, there have been gratifying lively scenes on the streets of Juba, with shops open for business and more pedestrians on the road. "Looking at those children, in our words, is to hope that they all have a bright future."

  Bless strangers and look forward to your future. Zhangqin said that after the expiration of the first sergeant, she might leave the army and then want to go back to school to continue her studies.

  In the diary, she wrote in sincere words, "This military road is the most unique scenery in my life. My dream is half finished, and it is this road that makes me understand that it is a world of difference to experience something I like in person and treat it as a dream. I learned persistence, courage, hard work, tempered my character, learned to be independent and responsible. The remaining half, I will go to Do not forget your initiative mind and finish it as always. " (Du Jiangyan)

Beijing wenwan market ended in madness for 7 years. Ordinary Jin Sinan was burned as firewood.

  There are few customers in the Aijia Collection Market near Dazhong Temple, and some shops put up notices such as "Dismantling stalls for sale" and "Seeking cooperation".

  Since the beginning of this year, the wenwan market, which has experienced barbaric growth, seems to have entered a reshuffle period, and enthusiastic investors have also entered a cooling-off period. A few days ago, a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily visited the wenwan collection market and found that the phenomenon of empty doors, dumping goods and withdrawing stores was very popular. The industry believes that the decline of the wenwan market is closely related to the downturn of the economic environment, and it is currently in a state of polarization. Currency (ordinary varieties) is becoming less and less valuable, while fine products still have the possibility of maintaining and increasing value.

  The wenwan market, once favored by capital and popular for 7 years, suddenly cooled down. The sky-high price Jin Sinan and sky-high price walnuts that have appeared one after another have also plunged into the bottom of the market on a roller coaster. Jin Sinan furniture is on sale at a discount of 30%, and more than 10,000 pairs of three-edged walnuts can be taken away at 5,000 yuan.

  Ten thousand yuan of walnuts, 5000 yuan, take away the merchants’ urgent goods.

  Located in the Aijia Collection Market near Dazhong Temple, there are almost no customers in the huge store. The further you go inside, the more shops close down, and some shops post notices of "closing stalls and selling" and "seeking cooperation" on the glass. In the classical furniture store, a pair of gold-rimmed nanmu wardrobes behind Mr. Wang are particularly outstanding among the pieces of sour branches and huanghuali furniture, with golden color and clear and elegant water ripple road on the board. "Now you want to buy the right one," he said. "I sold 401 thousand pairs, and now I sell you 100 thousand." Seeing that the reporter of Beiqing Daily was hesitant, Wang Boss chased another sentence and said that he would shed tears and have a big sale: "If you can pay 120,000 yuan, these two wardrobes, plus a pair of plush chairs and a coffee table, are all from Jin Sinan. You can take them all."

  "Now the business is not good, losing money, and all the stores have been withdrawn." At the door of the teapot shop, the proprietress with a southern accent lamented that several shops next to her were already closed.

  Walking into a wenwan walnut shop, the white-haired proprietress strongly recommended a pair of walnuts to the reporter of Beiqing Daily: "The absolutely wild three-edged rush, if you take it away for 5,000 yuan, I will go flat and not earn you money." The boss sitting next to him took over the conversation: "If this had been two years ago, this pair of walnuts would have sold for more than 10,000 yuan." It has been rumored that when wenwan walnut was the hottest in the past two years, the stall owner who gambled on green walnut in Beijing Shilihe wenwan market could earn nearly 10,000 yuan in half a day, and a pair of walnuts with excellent appearance was the most expensive and could even sell for 300,000 yuan or 400,000 yuan. However, since last year, a large number of star wenwan, which was sought after before, have been cold one after another, even to the point where no one cares, and the price plummeted to a staggering extent. In this regard, many wenwan operators believe that wenwan walnuts are worthless now. One of the important reasons is that the large number of grafted walnuts has made the output of wenwan walnuts soar, and rare varieties have become rare and common varieties. The price drop is an inevitable phenomenon.

  Put a splint on walnuts to make rare varieties

  Xiaoyu, a girl from Shilihe Yayuan Market, feels the same way about the grafted varieties ruining Wenwan Walnut Market. In the past, she often went to the walnut market in Laishui, Hebei Province to get walnuts. In her impression, most of the wenwan walnuts in previous years were wild, but now there are many grafted varieties or artificially cultivated varieties, which reduces the cost of walnuts.

  There are roughly three kinds of grafting and human intervention methods. One is modeling. Take Mantianxing (wenwan walnut variety) as an example. Short piles are very rare and won the favor of players. However, there are very few natural short piles of gypsophila paniculata, so some people put splints on the growing gypsophila paniculata, that is, use boards to clip walnuts and shape them, and cultivate them into popular varieties. The second is to increase production. The yield of wild walnuts is not high, and a tree can produce at most 50 pairs of fruit. So farmers sawed the edible walnut trees, grafted the wild walnut trees, and began to grow fruit after three years of cultivation, and the yield can be doubled. Based on this calculation, 2012 is the most popular time for wenwan walnuts. If grafting starts from that year, 2015 is the time for the first batch of grafted walnuts to bear fruit. The third is beautification. For example, the lines of all over the sky are beautiful, but the piles are high, and the apple’s round lion’s head pile is beautiful. So farmers graft two kinds of walnut trees together, and the fruit that grows combines the advantages of the two varieties and is as beautiful as a hybrid.

  In 2013 and 2014, the wenwan walnut market was extremely hot, and rare varieties broke the sky-high price. Xiaoyu told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that when he first entered the business in April 2011, walnuts had already started to catch fire. She often goes to Laishui, Hebei Province to get walnuts, where there is a big walnut market. Generally, large households take walnuts to wrap trees. Take a fancy to a walnut tree and pick one or two walnuts at random for inspection. If the appearance is good, it is big and upright, then wrap a tree. At the hottest time, a tree can sell for 600,000 yuan. The most expensive wenwan walnut sold in Xiaoyu since its establishment is a pair of Wang Yong walnuts with unicorn stripes, with a transaction price of 12,000 yuan. Xiaoyu said, "Little Trigony Walnut has never been seen before, and the price can scare people to death. A couple can sell for 189,000 yuan, but now it is everywhere, all of which are artificially grafted varieties, so the price will naturally come down.". When the reporter of Beiqing Daily visited the market, he saw that a pair of small three-edged walnuts were being sold by the store owner at a price of 5,000 yuan. Although the price of walnuts varies widely due to different products, at least the price of walnuts of the same category has shrunk by more than 90%.

  Ordinary Jin Sinan will be used as firewood by farmers.

  Yu Dongxing, a senior wenwan investor, told the reporters of Beiqing Daily that there are many reasons why Jin Sinan ebony, which was once hyped to sky-high prices, is now left out by investors.

  Yu Dongxing said that a few years ago, there were tens of millions of pieces of ebony in Jin Sinan, and then it was confiscated by the government. Only then did everyone know that there was Jin Sinan. People mistakenly think that Jin Sinan is extinct. So a large number of hot money entered the speculation, and investors flocked to it, and the speculation was very fierce. There are many merchants, many hoarders, and many people who dream of getting rich overnight.

  Beginning at the end of 2014, Jin Sinan suddenly failed. "First of all, there are too many things dug up, not as they say, Jin Sinan ebony has disappeared, and this species is gone. In fact, there are many things on Qingcheng Mountain in Sichuan." In addition, Jin Sinan is ornamental, but not practical. The texture of Jin Sinan is very beautiful, including water ripples, raindrops, phoenix tails and gentian. A set of furniture is millions and tens of millions. It is very beautiful to make furniture and has strong ornamental value. "But later found that Jin Sinan has a problem is that the density is low and the texture is soft. There can’t be any bumps, and you can’t even be scratched by your nails, because a slight rub is a deep imprint. "

  Yu Dongxing said that now the market in Jin Sinan is polarized, and the ordinary wood dug out has no texture or pattern, so it is basically of little value. Some people joked that in the future, Jin Sinan, whose appearance is not good, may still be dried and burned by farmers. All literary plays that are fried and immediately fall have a characteristic, that is, the output is huge and resources are not scarce at all.

  Financial observation

  The cooling-off period after the surge of wenwan

  Is there an invisible hand in control of the wenwan market? Yu Dongxing, a senior wenwan investor, said that there are several factors to enhance the value. For Jin Sinan, Thuja and Walnut, the huge amount of hot money comes from Fujian and Guangdong, where there are high-grade wooden furniture bases. They want to use this as a driving force, and they have a large amount of money in their hands, and they are constantly looking for suitable targets. As it happens, the sky-high ebony incident in 2011 caught their attention. In addition, there are also local price factors in Beijing. Beijing is the root and weather vane of the national wenwan market, and it radiates the surrounding areas, such as Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Inner Mongolia and Northeast China, and all come to Beijing for goods.

  The decline of the wenwan market is not only due to the micro-level reasons such as the destruction of walnuts by grafted varieties, but also to the macro-level reasons such as the economic environment. After overheating, the economy is now in a cooling-off period and polarized. In the past, everyone was chasing up and down. Like stock trading, everyone thought that investment could make money, and it was also good to make money. When the investment reaches a certain level, the market will not meet everyone’s expectations and will naturally cool down.

  News memory

  What other literary plays are there?

  ◎ Cook: At the beginning of this year, the wholesale price of 7×9 (single bead 7 mm in diameter and 9 mm in height) Cook chain can be sold for more than 3,000 yuan, and now it is more than 100 yuan. The price fell the hardest.

  ◎ Xingyue Bodhi: the most popular in 2013 and 2014, 7×9 (single bead diameter 7 mm, height 9 mm), each string of 114 capsules (108 capsules plus 6 capsules) is more than 1,000 yuan. Now the polished ones sell for more than 100 yuan. If it is directly strung together without processing, it will cost tens of yuan each.

  ◎ Coconut shell: Since 2013, playing with coconut shell strings has emerged in the market. The most precious is the coconut skewers, with a single bead diameter of 9 mm, and a string of 108 pieces is worth more than 5,000 yuan. I can’t even see it now. No one wants it. There are as many coconut shells as you want, as long as you have a bead car machine, you can car as many beads as you want.

  ◎ Huang Longyu: Originally, it was just a kind of general collection called yellow wax stone. By chance, it won a high price, and its value is said to have increased by nearly 100 times. A decent rough stone was as high as one million yuan. But now Huang Longyu has become an outcast in the market, and its value has plummeted.

  Investment story

  400,000 bet on whether 3 acres of land can dig up ebony.

  Yu Dongxing, a senior wenwan investor. When the price of ebony in Jin Sinan was the craziest, he personally went to the mountainous area of Sichuan to gamble on land. The so-called gambling on land is to value a mountainous area of fellow villagers, predict that some ebony will be buried underground, and then pay a large price to package the land and dig ebony. The investment risk is that the more ebony unearthed, the better. However, if less ebony is dug up, or even no ebony is dug up, then the money will be wasted and the bet will be lost. It is understood that ebony in Jin Sinan and sky-high ebony discovered after the Ya ‘an earthquake in 2011 also appeared at that time. There is a very big market of Phoebe bournei in Ya ‘an. All the Phoebe bournei excavated in Sichuan are sold there in a centralized way. At most, four or five hundred merchants open their doors to operate. The biggest golden nanmu I have ever seen, 27 meters long, was sold by the buyer for 35 million yuan on the spot. This undoubtedly injected a stimulant into the golden nanmu market at that time.

  In the spring of 2013, Yu Dongxing went to Ya ‘an Mountain in Sichuan. At that time, the information he got was that farmers here often dug up Jin Sinan ebony when planting potatoes, and they didn’t know how to do it, so they dried these treasures and burned them as firewood. However, this sign alone is far from enough. We are always looking for local people as staff officers. Several conditions can give extra points to the alternative plots, such as earthquakes and mudslides, and Jin Sinan ebony has been dug up in the adjacent plots. At that time, it was difficult to choose land, because all the places with convenient transportation were dug up by foreign investors, so they chose the mountains as the battlefield for digging treasures. The area of the land that is used to gambling is about 3 mu, and the price is 400,000 yuan with the farmers.

  When the long mechanical arm of the hook machine scratched down, I always described myself as pleasantly surprised at that time, because from 1.8 meters below the surface to the 27-meter-deep gravel layer, all the layers were ebony. Everyone stood by, gossiping. There must have been crustal movement here before, and hundreds of years of trees fell down and were buried underground along mountain torrents and mudslides.

  Originally, I always thought it would be profitable to dig out a few roots, but I didn’t expect that the ebony that was dug up soon became a mountain beside me, which really made him overjoyed. In fact, only a part of the ebony that is always dug up is Jin Sinan, and most of it belongs to other varieties, such as Toona sinensis, Maliu and Qingba, which are all close to carbonized ebony.

  Ebony has a characteristic that it can’t be used at that time when it is dug up, because it has been buried underground for hundreds of years and is very wet. It needs to be covered on land and dried in the shade, so it can’t be directly exposed to the sun, otherwise the wood will crack. Generally speaking, Phoebe bournei needs to be dried in the shade for two to three years before it can be opened and made into furniture. Until this time, investors can tell which is Jin Sinan ebony from the texture and fragrance of wood profile.

  Dramatically, the second risk of gambling on land appeared. When local farmers saw how many treasures had been dug up in their fields, they immediately became jealous, but they expressed it diplomatically: "Let us dry in the shade for two or three years." Old enough to understand, in fact, people are not allowed to take away all the treasures dug up.

  Although Lao Yu only took away 1/5 of all the unearthed ebony at that time, money must have been earned. One third of the ebony brought back to Beijing was Jin Sinan. Jin Sinan furniture is made of aniseed, carvings are made of minor materials, and beads are made of scraps. This investment has always been a great success.

  "In fact, I have deep feelings for Jin Sinan, but why didn’t I do it later? It was because a large number of southern hot money came in to do Jin Sinan, and they dug up the coffin, made the coffin board into furniture, or sold all kinds of things. That thing was really unlucky, which really made me unbearable." This edition/reporter Zhao Xinpei

  In addition to these wonderful zongzi that have already appeared, I heard that there is a new kind of zongzi with magical taste about to be born this Dragon Boat Festival, that is — — Wahaha haha zongzi. Wahaha, a "cross-border maniac" from the beverage industry, is said to be a perfect replica from sour and sweet AD calcium milk to fragrant and glutinous eight-treasure porridge, from cool and exciting iced black tea to the new ice cream matcha just listed this year.

Interpretation of some problems on the application of law in handling criminal cases that endanger tax collection and management

(Adopted at the 1911th meeting of the Judicial Committee of the Supreme People’s Court on January 8, 2024 and the 25th meeting of the 14th Procuratorial Committee of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate on February 22, 2024, and shall come into force on March 20, 2024).

In order to punish crimes endangering tax collection and management according to law, according to the relevant provisions of the Criminal Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Criminal Procedure Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC), some issues concerning the application of law in handling such criminal cases are explained as follows:

Article 1 A taxpayer who makes a false tax return under any of the following circumstances shall be deemed as a means of deception or concealment as stipulated in the first paragraph of Article 201 of the Criminal Law:

(1) Forging, altering, transferring, concealing or destroying account books, accounting vouchers or other tax-related materials without authorization;

(two) to sign a "yin and yang contract" and other forms of concealment or decomposition of income and property in the name of others;

(3) falsifying expenditures, offsetting input tax or falsely reporting special additional deductions;

(four) providing false materials to defraud tax incentives;

(five) fabricating false tax basis;

(6) Other deception or concealment means adopted for non-payment or underpayment of taxes.

In any of the following circumstances, it shall be deemed as "failure to declare" as stipulated in the first paragraph of Article 201 of the Criminal Law:

(1) Taxpayers who have registered their establishment in the registration authority according to law have failed to declare their taxes due to taxable activities;

(2) Taxpayers who do not need to register their establishment with the registration authority according to law or fail to register their establishment according to law have taxable behaviors and are notified by the tax authorities according to law to declare but fail to declare their taxes;

(3) Other persons who knowingly fail to file tax returns according to law.

If the withholding agent fails to pay or underpays the tax withheld or collected by the means listed in the first and second paragraphs, and the amount is relatively large, he shall be convicted and punished in accordance with the provisions of the first paragraph of Article 201 of the Criminal Law. The withholding agent promises to pay the tax on behalf of the taxpayer, and when it pays the after-tax income to the taxpayer, it shall be deemed that the withholding agent has "withheld and received the tax".

Article 2 Taxpayers who evade paying taxes of more than 100,000 yuan and more than 500,000 yuan shall be deemed as "a large amount" and "a huge amount" as stipulated in the first paragraph of Article 201 of the Criminal Law respectively.

The criteria for determining whether the withholding agent fails to pay or underpays the tax withheld or collected are "relatively large" or "huge" shall be in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph.

Article 3 A taxpayer who has evaded paying taxes as stipulated in the first paragraph of Article 201 of the Criminal Law shall not be investigated for criminal responsibility if, before filing a case with the public security organ, the tax authorities have issued a notice of recovery according to law, paid the tax payable in full within the prescribed time limit or within the time limit approved for postponing or paying by installments, and fully fulfilled the administrative punishment decision made by the tax authorities. However, except for those who have been subjected to criminal punishment for evading tax payment within five years or have been given administrative punishment by tax authorities for more than two times.

If a taxpayer evades paying taxes and the tax authorities fail to issue a notice of recovery according to law, criminal responsibility shall not be investigated according to law.

Article 4 The "amount of tax evaded" as stipulated in the first paragraph of Article 201 of the Criminal Law refers to the total amount of taxes collected by the tax authorities that are not paid or underpaid within a certain tax payment period.

The "tax payable" stipulated in the first paragraph of Article 201 of the Criminal Law refers to the tax payable in accordance with the provisions of tax laws and administrative regulations in the year when taxable acts occur, excluding the value-added tax and customs duties collected by the customs and the tax paid in advance by taxpayers according to law.

The first paragraph of Article 201 of the Criminal Law stipulates that "the amount of tax evaded accounts for the percentage of tax payable", which refers to the ratio of the total amount of tax evaded by the actor in a tax year to the total amount of tax payable in that tax year; If the tax period is not determined according to the tax year, it shall be determined according to the ratio of the total amount of tax evasion of various taxes to the total amount of tax payable in that year in the year before the last tax evasion. If the duration of the tax obligation is less than one tax year, it shall be determined according to the ratio of the total amount of tax evasion of various taxes to the total amount of tax payable during the actual tax obligation period.

Tax evasion spans several tax years. As long as the amount and percentage of tax evasion in one tax year reach the standard stipulated in the first paragraph of Article 201 of the Criminal Law, it constitutes the crime of tax evasion. The amount of tax evasion in each tax year shall be calculated cumulatively, and the percentage of tax evasion to tax payable shall be determined according to the highest value of the percentage of tax evasion in each tax year.

"Untreated" as stipulated in the third paragraph of Article 201 of the Criminal Law includes administrative treatment and criminal treatment.

(3) Other serious circumstances.

If the act of refusing to pay taxes causes serious injury or death to others, which conforms to the provisions of Article 234 or Article 232 of the Criminal Law, he shall be convicted and punished for the crime of intentional injury or intentional homicide.

Article 6 If a taxpayer fails to pay the tax payable in order to avoid the tax authorities from recovering it, it shall be deemed as "taking the means of transferring or concealing property" as stipulated in Article 203 of the Criminal Law:

(1) Abandoning due creditor’s rights;

(2) Transferring property without compensation;

(3) Trading at an obviously unreasonable price;

(4) Concealing property;

(5) Failing to perform tax obligations and leaving the supervision of tax authorities;

(6) transferring or concealing property by other means.

Article 7 In any of the following circumstances, it shall be deemed as "falsely reporting exports or other deceptive means" as stipulated in the first paragraph of Article 204 of the Criminal Law:

(1) Declaring export tax refund by using special VAT invoices that are falsely issued, illegally purchased or obtained by other illegal means or other invoices that can be used for export tax refund;

(2) Declaring the export business that has not been taxed or exempted as the export business that has been taxed;

Case 1

Tax evasion case of a food company in Sichuan and Zheng Moumou

-entity enterprises actively pull losses and rectify after breaking the law, and are lenient according to law.

(1) Basic facts of the case

Defendant Sichuan Food Co., Ltd. is a small-scale food production enterprise with the qualification of general taxpayer. From 2017 to 2019, Zheng Moumou, the legal representative of the company, arranged for the company’s financial personnel to make false tax returns by deception and concealment, and evaded paying taxes totaling 1.27 million yuan, with the annual tax evasion rate ranging from 80% to 97%.

(3) Typical significance

Taxation is the main source of national finance, which is taken from the people and used by the people. Paying taxes according to law is the basic obligation of citizens and the legal obligation of enterprises. Tax evasion damages national finance, disrupts economic order and erodes social integrity, which is not only illegal, but also constitutes a crime with a large amount. For tax evasion, on the one hand, we should punish according to law, warn taxpayers to enhance their awareness of paying taxes through "punishment", pay taxes according to law, and promote "governance" through "punishment"; On the other hand, we should also take into account the characteristics of tax revenue and the status quo of tax payment, and give taxpayers an opportunity to make up for it, instead of "killing them with one stick." According to the fourth paragraph of Article 201 of the Criminal Law, the tax authorities should deal with the criminal responsibility of tax evaders first, which not only gives taxpayers a chance to remedy, but also helps to recover tax losses in time. The defendant unit in this case is a welfare enterprise, which solves the employment of more than a dozen disabled employees and bears certain social responsibilities; Affected by the epidemic, the tax was not paid as scheduled after the incident; Before the court makes a judgment, it makes a plan to pay back the tax and gets the approval of the tax authorities. In order to effectively implement both "punishment" and "governance", the court, in conjunction with the tax authorities, conducted a business risk review of the defendant unit, and after the enterprise carried out compliance rectification, lenient punishment was given to the defendant unit and the defendant, effectively avoiding the adverse consequences of destroying an enterprise due to a case.

A catering company in Beijing, Chen Mou, Gongmou

Evade the case of recovering tax arrears

-the taxpayer does not pay attention to honesty and transfer property to bear criminal responsibility.

(1) Basic facts of the case

Defendants Chen Mou and Gong Mou jointly established a catering company in Beijing in 2006, with Chen Mou as the legal representative and Gong Mou as the supervisor. Later, the first branch and the second branch were established in 2007 and 2012 respectively, with Chen Mou as the person in charge. From 2012 to 2013, a catering company, the first branch and the second branch used 53 fake invoices from four companies, including Wal-Mart, which were deducted from the taxable income of corporate income tax in 2012 and 2013, and filed corporate income tax returns with the State Taxation Bureau of Shunyi District, Beijing. In July 2014, the Inspection Bureau of Shunyi District State Taxation Bureau conducted a tax inspection on a catering company, and then made an administrative decision. It was determined that the company used invoices that did not meet the requirements, and the taxable income in 2012 and 2013 was increased by a total of 3.69 million yuan. The enterprise income tax in 2012 and 2013 should be paid back by a total of 920,000 yuan, and the late payment fee should be paid. Defendants Chen Mou and Gong Mou established Hongmou Catering Company at the business address of the first branch, Shimou Catering Company at the business address of the second branch, opened a new account for the business use of the second company, and cancelled the first and second branches. At the same time, a catering company no longer applied for invoices, and the company account was no longer used after freezing. Through the above way,Escape from the Shunyi District State Taxation Bureau to recover taxes. By the time of the incident, there were still more than 820,000 yuan in taxes that could not be recovered. After the incident, a catering company paid back the unpaid enterprise income tax and late payment fee totaling more than 1.3 million yuan.

(II) Processing results

The People’s Procuratorate of Shunyi District of Beijing prosecuted a catering company, Chen Mou and Gongmou for allegedly evading the crime of recovering tax arrears. The Shunyi District People’s Court of Beijing held that the accounting books of the defendant unit were chaotic and the records were not standardized, and the evidence on file could not identify the actual and reasonable expenses related to income, so the tax should be paid back according to the amount identified in the tax treatment decision. The defendant unit fails to pay the tax payable by transferring or concealing property, which makes it impossible for the tax authorities to recover the unpaid tax, and the amount exceeds the standard of 10 thousand yuan stipulated in the criminal law, which has constituted the crime of evading the recovery of tax arrears. The Shunyi District People’s Court of Beijing sentenced a catering company of the defendant unit to a fine of RMB 850,000 yuan for evading the payment of tax arrears. Defendants Chen Mou and Gong Mou were sentenced to three years in prison, suspended for three years, and fined 850,000 yuan. After the verdict was pronounced in the first instance, the defendant Gong Mou appealed. After hearing the case, Beijing No.3 Intermediate People’s Court ruled that the appeal was dismissed and the original judgment was upheld.

(3) Typical significance

Although the tax arrears do not constitute a crime, it is not only a violation of the duty to pay taxes, but also a violation of the principle of good faith if the taxpayer has the ability to pay taxes and refuses to pay taxes. If the amount of tax that cannot be recovered reaches more than 10,000 yuan, it constitutes the crime of evading the recovery of tax arrears according to law. In this case, the defendant unit and the defendant evaded paying the unpaid tax by canceling the taxpayer, setting up a new company and opening a new account, and the amount reached more than 100,000 yuan. According to the law, they should be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years, and be fined not less than one time but not more than five times the unpaid tax. The people’s court sentenced the defendant unit and the defendant to punishment according to law, which not only effectively safeguarded the national tax order, but also safeguarded the market environment of honest management.

Case 3

Shi Moumou and others defrauded the export tax rebate case.

-"Low value and high reporting" will be severely punished for defrauding export tax rebates.

(1) Basic facts of the case

In December 2017, the defendant Shi Moumou registered and established Tongling Bomou Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Bomou Company) and Tongling Jinmou Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Jinmou Company). Among them, Bomou Company enjoys preferential tax policies as a software enterprise. Through the above two companies controlled by Shi Moumou, he wrote the blank chips purchased by 0.7 yuan at a unit price into the current sampling control software, and then inflated the price to 200 yuan. From January to August, 2019, in the name of selling current sampling control chips, Bomou Company falsely sold to Jinmou Company and falsely issued special VAT invoices. After that, Shi Moumou and Huang Mobo, the co-defendant, agreed that An Company in chibi city, Hubei Province, controlled by the latter, would export the current sampling control module of Jin Company on behalf of him, in the form of signing a false purchase contract, so that Jin Company would sell the current sampling control module to An Company at a unit price around 230 yuan, and then An Company and Hai Company established by Huang Mobo would sign a false purchase contract for the current sampling control module and export it to Hong Kong. After Shi arranged for others to pick up the goods in Hong Kong, he treated the current sampling control module as garbage. After the goods were exported, Shi Moumou, Huang Mobo and others raised US dollars, returned the funds, and settled the foreign exchange in Anmou Company. Jinmou Company mailed the special VAT invoice to Anmou Company, and Anmou Company applied to the tax authorities for export tax rebate with the above-mentioned falsely issued special VAT invoice and export customs declaration materials. From December 2018 to 2019,Anmou Company defrauded more than 5.7 million yuan of export tax refund through 149 special VAT invoices falsely issued by Jinmou Company.

After trial, the Intermediate People’s Court of Tongling City, Anhui Province decided to maintain the conviction and sentencing of the defendants.

(3) Typical significance

The crime of defrauding export tax refund is one of the serious crimes that endanger tax collection and management. As an international practice, in order to encourage the export of domestic goods and enhance international competitiveness, the state allows domestic goods to enter the international market at a price excluding tax, that is, after the goods are exported, the tax paid in the domestic production and circulation links will be refunded to avoid international double taxation. Using this tax policy of the state, criminals falsely report exports or other deceptive means to disguise businesses that have not been exported or should not be refunded as tax-refundable businesses to defraud export tax rebates. This kind of behavior is essentially a fraud crime of illegal possession of state property, which has serious harm and should be severely punished according to law. Although the actor has exported, he fraudulently inflated the price of low-priced products, falsely issued special invoices for value-added tax, and defrauded the state for export tax rebates with inflated export tax rebates. The amount is particularly huge, causing huge property losses to the state, which should be severely cracked down according to law.

The special VAT invoice that the upstream supplier should have issued to a trading company in Shenzhen was issued to a company controlled by Zhou, thus obtaining a false special VAT invoice, and a trading company in Shenzhen charged a high billing fee. At the same time, in order to obtain the customs declaration documents for export tax rebate, a number of Hong Kong companies controlled by Hong Moumou signed false mobile phone export foreign trade contracts with companies controlled by Zhou, and rented "prop" mobile phones from others to pretend to be the mobile phones in foreign trade contracts for false customs declaration by borrowing goods and matching bills. Finally, the company controlled by Zhou made a false declaration to Zhenjiang State Taxation Bureau with the above-mentioned documentary procedures, and defrauded the national export tax rebate of more than 720 million yuan.

(3) Typical significance

In recent years, the crime of defrauding export tax rebate has developed in industrialization, resulting in huge tax losses for the country and extremely bad influence on the country’s export tax rebate policy and export trade activities. This kind of crime often involves many criminal chains, such as false opening, distribution of goods, customs declaration, underground money house, tax refund, etc., with fine internal division of labor, relative independence and collusion, showing the characteristics of industrialization, specialization and concealment. There are three gangs involved in this case, namely, "purchasing tax tickets, making fake exports, and declaring tax refund". The time and links for the defendants and the defendant units to participate are different, so they should be dealt with qualitatively according to the specific criminal acts they participated in. In the production and business activities of enterprises with real transactions, in order to earn the billing fee, it should be considered as a crime of falsely issuing special VAT invoices for upstream enterprises to others. Whoever falsely issues special VAT invoices for others knowing that they have the subjective intention of defrauding export tax rebates shall be convicted and punished as an accomplice in the crime of defrauding export tax rebates. At the same time, for the multi-link and multi-chain criminal acts such as tax fraud, it is not possible to judge whether it has caused the loss of national tax revenue according to a single link, but the whole chain should be comprehensively analyzed.

Case 5

Jin Moumou and others falsely issued special VAT invoices.

-Shell companies falsely issuing special VAT invoices should be severely cracked down.

(1) Basic facts of the case

From 2018 to before the incident, the defendant Jin Moumou hired defendants Chen Moumou, Li Moumou, Wang Moumou and others to register or purchase nearly 40 shell companies such as Shanghai Suimou Trading Co., Ltd. in the name of others. In the absence of any actual goods transaction, Jin Moumou paid 1.3%-2.2% of the invoice value to others, and accepted false special invoices for value-added tax issued by many companies in Shandong, Zhejiang and other places by means of separation of tickets and goods and circuitous payment of funds, with a total price tax of more than 380 million yuan and a tax amount of more than 46 million yuan. Later, through the fictitious purchase and sale of goods, Jin Moumou falsely issued special invoices for value-added tax to enterprises in Shanxi, Hebei, Shanghai and other places, with a total price tax of more than 220 million yuan, resulting in a tax deduction of more than 27 million yuan.

(II) Processing results

The People’s Procuratorate of Tiantai County, Zhejiang Province prosecuted Jin Moumou and others for allegedly falsely issuing special invoices for value-added tax. The Tiantai County People’s Court of Zhejiang Province held that the defendant Jin Moumou falsely made out special invoices for value-added tax for others and let others falsely make out special invoices for himself without real transactions, with a huge amount; Other co-defendants knew that Kim was still involved in falsely issuing special VAT invoices, which constituted the crime of falsely issuing special VAT invoices. The Tiantai County People’s Court of Zhejiang Province sentenced the defendant Jin Moumou to 14 years’ imprisonment and fined RMB 450,000. The defendants in the same case were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of three years to thirteen years and six months respectively, and fined. After the verdict was pronounced in the first instance, the co-defendant appealed. After trial, the Intermediate People’s Court of Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province ruled that the appeal was dismissed and the original judgment was upheld.

(3) Typical significance

The key to distinguishing special VAT invoice from other ordinary invoices is that it can deduct tax by ticket, which is also the core function of special VAT invoice. Criminals use this function of special invoices for value-added tax to make false deductions, defrauding state taxes, causing losses to state property and serious harm. Therefore, the criminal law provides severe legal punishment for the crime of falsely issuing special VAT invoices. According to the provisions of the Criminal Law, combined with the serious harm of the crime of falsely issuing special VAT invoices, whether it is for others, for yourself, for others to be themselves, or to introduce others, as long as it is falsely issued by using the tax deduction function of special VAT invoices, it belongs to the act of falsely issuing special VAT invoices. It is the key to crack down on the crime of falsely issuing special invoices for value-added tax by setting up shell companies.

Case 6

An industrial company in Shanghai and Zhang Moumou falsely claimed VAT.

Special invoice case

-Punish enterprises for issuing special VAT invoices to each other without real transactions according to law.

(1) Basic facts of the case

In August 2017, Zhang Moumou, the head of an industrial company in Shanghai, the defendant unit, falsely issued two special VAT invoices for the industrial company through a clothing company in Shanghai operated by Tang Moumou, with a total price tax of more than 220,000 yuan, of which more than 30,000 yuan has been declared and deducted. The following month, Zhang Moumou issued a special VAT invoice for the same tax for the clothing company in the name of a knitting and garment factory actually controlled by him, without any actual business dealings, to offset the tax.

In September, 2017, Zhang Moumou and Lu Mou, a salesman of an industrial company, made a fluff product company in Hebei falsely issue four special VAT invoices for the industrial company by paying the billing fee, with a total price tax of more than 380,000 yuan, of which more than 50,000 yuan has been declared and deducted.

During the period from September to December, 2017, when Zhang Moumou was operating an industrial company and a knitting factory, he asked the knitting factory to falsely issue 12 special invoices for value-added tax for the industrial company, with a total price tax of more than 1.01 million yuan, of which more than 140,000 yuan has been declared and deducted.

After the incident, the industrial company has paid all the taxes involved to the tax authorities.

(II) Processing results

The People’s Procuratorate of Songjiang District of Shanghai initiated a public prosecution against industrial company, Zhang Moumou and Lu for allegedly falsely issuing special VAT invoices. Shanghai Songjiang District People’s Court sentenced the defendant’s industrial company to a fine of RMB 30,000 for falsely issuing special VAT invoices. The defendant Zhang Moumou was sentenced to one year in prison and suspended for one year; The defendant Lu was detained for six months and suspended for six months. After the verdict was pronounced in the first instance, there was no protest or appeal, and the judgment has taken legal effect.

(3) Typical significance

Where the actors issue or circulate special VAT invoices to each other, and the output tax and input tax cannot offset each other, resulting in the loss of state tax, criminal responsibility shall be investigated for the crime of falsely issuing special VAT invoices. For the purpose of inflating performance and other purposes, those who engage in counter-opening or ring-opening activities, which have not caused national tax losses, shall not be punished as crimes of falsely issuing special invoices for value-added tax, and those who constitute other crimes shall be investigated for criminal responsibility with corresponding crimes. In handling cases, we should pay attention to the essential points of "falsely issuing special invoices for value-added tax and causing national tax losses", comprehensively examine and identify crimes from the aspects of whether the actors have the intention to defraud taxes subjectively, whether they have paid taxes objectively and caused tax losses, and strictly distinguish between violations and illegal crimes.

Case 7

A waterproof material company in Shandong and Xu Moumou falsely made VAT.

Special invoice case

-entity enterprises shall be treated leniently according to law for enterprise compliance rectification.

(1) Basic facts of the case

From June 2019 to September 2021, Gou Moumou (handled separately) registered a number of shell companies in the name of others, and falsely issued special VAT invoices to many enterprises in Jiangsu, Henan, Zhejiang, Fujian, Shandong and other places without real goods transactions, with a tax amount of 7.39 million yuan. Among them, in September 2019, a waterproof material company in Shandong (hereinafter referred to as waterproof company) falsely issued 22 special invoices for value-added tax for it through a shell company controlled by Gou Moumou in order to deduct taxes, and the tax amount was more than 270,000 yuan. From August to October, 2019, Xu also falsely issued 59 special invoices for value-added tax to two companies, including a waterproof building materials company in Xiamen, where he was an executive, through a shell company controlled by Gou Moumou, with a tax amount of more than 750,000 yuan. All the above invoices are used for deduction, and the input tax has been transferred out after the incident.

In April 2022, the case was transferred to the People’s Procuratorate of Shouguang City, Shandong Province for review and prosecution by the Public Security Bureau of Shouguang City, Shandong Province. After the case was transferred for review and prosecution, Xu said that he pleaded guilty and took the initiative to apply for the start of corporate compliance procedures for waterproof companies and voluntarily carried out compliance rectification. After on-the-spot investigation, the procuratorial organ learned that the waterproof company has been operating normally since it was incorporated in 2015, and its products have good development prospects and potential, with an annual output value of 30 million to 50 million, which has made a certain contribution to the local economic development. Compliance rectification is conducive to the long-term business development of the enterprise. In November 2022, the procuratorial organ decided to apply the enterprise compliance and third-party supervision and evaluation mechanism to the waterproof company.

(II) Processing results

The procuratorial organ invited Shouguang City Management Committee of the third-party supervision and evaluation mechanism for enterprise compliance to set up a third-party supervision and evaluation organization composed of local tax authorities’ staff and lawyers to guide and urge waterproof companies to formulate compliance rectification plans, clarify the key contents of enterprise-specific compliance rectification, and establish and improve relevant compliance management systems. Waterproof company employs a professional compliance team to carry out compliance rectification according to the compliance plan for legal affairs, taxation and other fields, and to carry out rule of law education for management personnel. After the rectification of enterprise compliance, Xu Moumou and enterprise managers put down their ideological burdens and actively organized production and business activities. At the same time, the procuratorial organs strengthen the guidance for the standardized operation of enterprises involved, and urge enterprises to enter a benign development track. In April, 2023, it was assessed by a third-party organization that the waterproof company had completed effective compliance rectification.

In October 2023, the People’s Procuratorate of Shouguang City, Shandong Province decided not to prosecute the waterproof company with reference to the conclusion of the compliance inspection; Prosecute Xu for allegedly falsely issuing special invoices for value-added tax, and put forward lenient sentencing suggestions. The People’s Court of Shouguang City, Shandong Province sentenced the defendant Xu Moumou to two years’ imprisonment, suspended for two years, and fined RMB 20,000. After the verdict was pronounced in the first instance, there was no protest or appeal, and the judgment has taken legal effect. After a return visit, it is known that the waterproof company is operating normally, the output value remains stable and the employees on the job are stable.

(3) Typical significance

In the compliance reform of enterprises involved, procuratorial organs should give full play to their role, accurately grasp the applicable conditions for compliance rectification, and rely on the third-party supervision and evaluation mechanism management Committee to ensure that cases are properly handled and compliance is effectively carried out. It is necessary to comprehensively consider the alleged charges of the case, the type, scale, business scope and main business of the enterprise involved, set up a third-party organization in a targeted manner, and focus on the problems existing in the internal governance structure, rules and regulations, personnel management, etc., which are closely related to the suspected crimes of enterprises, and urge enterprises to formulate special compliance rectification plans and build an effective compliance management system. In handling cases, according to the criminal facts, circumstances and performance in compliance rectification of the enterprises and personnel involved, decisions can be made respectively according to law, and the units that effectively comply with the rectification are relatively not prosecuted; If the person who is directly responsible does not meet the conditions for non-prosecution, a public prosecution shall be initiated according to law, and suggestions for lenient sentencing shall be put forward.

Case 8

Yang falsely invoiced the case.

-Falsely issuing ordinary invoices may also constitute a crime.

(1) Basic facts of the case

From 2014 to 2022, the defendant Yang registered and established 11 companies in the name of close relatives or others. In the absence of actual business, through the introduction of middlemen Liu (handled separately), Fu Moumou (handled separately) and others, 11 companies were used to falsely open ordinary VAT invoices by means of false accounting and capital return, from which they received benefits of 0.5%-1.5% of the face value, with a total profit of more than 3.4 million yuan. After inspection by the tax authorities, Yang falsely issued 14,370 ordinary VAT invoices through the above 11 companies, with a cumulative face value of more than 1.2 billion yuan.

(II) Processing results

The People’s Procuratorate of Tianjin Binhai New Area prosecuted Yang for allegedly falsely invoicing. The People’s Court of Tianjin Binhai New Area held that the defendant Yang violated the national tax collection and management regulations and falsely issued ordinary invoices for others without actual business activities, which constituted the crime of falsely issuing invoices, and the circumstances were particularly serious. Tianjin Binhai New Area People’s Court sentenced Yang to six years’ imprisonment and fined 200,000 yuan for the crime of falsely issuing invoices. After the verdict was pronounced in the first instance, there was no protest or appeal, and the judgment has taken legal effect.

(3) Typical significance

Although the ordinary invoice has no tax deduction function compared with the special VAT invoice, it is the original evidence of accounting, and it is also an important basis for law enforcement inspection by audit institutions and tax authorities. There are relevant regulations on the printing, collection and issuance of invoices. In order to obtain illegal benefits, criminals engage in illegal and criminal acts of falsely issuing invoices, and provide convenience for tax evasion, tax fraud, financial fraud, corruption and bribery, squandering public funds, money laundering and other illegal crimes, which seriously disrupt the market economic order, encourage the spread of corruption, and corrupt the social atmosphere, with serious social harm. In 2011, the Criminal Law Amendment (VIII) added the crime of false invoicing, which did not require a specific purpose or the harmful result of tax loss, and complied with the needs of social governance. By setting up a number of shell companies, the perpetrator fraudulently made out invoices from the tax authorities. The number and amount of false invoices were extremely huge, and the circumstances were particularly serious. Although there was a confession and voluntary confession, the court sentenced him to six years in prison, which reflected the attitude of punishing the crime of false invoices according to law.

Original title: "signing a" yin and yang contract "is a means of tax evasion! "two highs" are clear.

Ruby Lin Rare Show Happiness Daily Sharing Wallace Huo’s Pet Daughter Behavior

Ruby Lin

Ruby Lin

According to Taiwan media reports on the 26th, Ruby Lin, 46, married Wallace Huo in 2016, and had a daughter "Little Dolphin". From time to time, she shared her parenting life on social platforms. Ruby Lin was found to have had her hair cut short when she attended an endorsement event on 26th. She revealed that her daughter was crying over this, and asked Ruby Lin to grow it as soon as possible. She also revealed that Wallace Huo spoiled her daughter and even asked her to wear nail polish and eye shadow.

Ruby Lin’s 5-and-a-half-year-old daughter loves to braid her hair. After she cut her hair short, her daughter cried and said, "Mom, you cut your hair!" Ruby Lin is required to keep her hair long. Usually, she is required to wear a skirt at home, which makes Ruby Lin laugh and cry. When she has special needs, she will go to her father Wallace Huo: "Because I have more regulations, I usually skip me to find my father, because my father is reluctant to refuse."

Wallace Huo even accepted her daughter’s request for makeup. Ruby Lin said with a smile: "I was bored by her (daughter) and told her to go to her father, who didn’t wear makeup." My daughter painted everything from nail polish to eye shadow, and all of them used super bright colors. Ruby Lin couldn’t help taking pictures to commemorate her.

Patent mining

  (1) Training target: enterprises and institutions that have a certain demand for various applications of patents and have a certain ability to use them, except patent applications. Have a certain patent foundation, a special intellectual property department in the enterprise, and intellectual property management personnel with certain patent-related knowledge.

  (2) Course orientation: patent creation, intermediate courses and practical training.

  (3) Training time: 4 class hours.

  (4) Teaching content: Patent mining refers to the process of analyzing, sorting, splitting and screening the obtained technical achievements from the technical and legal levels in technology research and development or product development, so as to determine the technological innovation points and technical solutions for applying for patents, and it is a process of extracting the technological innovation points and solutions with patent application and protection value from the innovation results. Patent mining is at the front end of enterprise patent workflow, which has a far-reaching impact on patent management, application and protection in the later period. It is the foundation of enterprise patent work and is conducive to maximizing legal rights and commercial benefits and minimizing patent infringement risks. This course highlights the characteristics of patent mining through the process of gold panning, shows and explains all the steps in the whole process of patent mining through the case of "soap box", and puts forward three "grasping hands" to effectively carry out patent mining at the end of the course. Through this simple way, the purpose is to enable the trainees to understand and master the significance and specific process of patent mining as soon as possible, and to understand how enterprise managers and patent workers can carry out patent mining within the enterprise, so as to prompt the innovation achievements of the enterprise to be converted into patent applications in time, so as to obtain stronger patent protection.

On "Patent Invalidation" of Drug Patents

As an important protection in the process of drug development, patent is self-evident. The number of patents owned by an enterprise not only forms important intellectual property protection for products, but also reflects the status and value of the enterprise. However, patents are also divided into "three, six and nine grades". A high-quality authorized patent not only protects the value of the product, but also has high value itself. However, a patent full of loopholes is difficult to obtain authorization. Even if it is authorized, it will be easily challenged by competitors, and eventually it will be "invalid", which will bring serious economic losses to enterprises. Therefore, it is extremely important for the pharmaceutical industry to understand "invalid patent" and achieve "from defense to attack"

What is the "patent invalidation system"

Patent invalidation system, which is regarded as "a corrective procedure for wrong patent authorization", has attracted much attention in patent systems in various countries, and its essence has the functions of error correction, defense and defense. The invalidation of patent will have a direct impact on the validity of patent right, and whether the patent right is effective and stable is an important premise and index to measure the quality of patent. Generally speaking, the invalidation of an invention-creation experience is finally kept valid, and its patent value is higher, which will also have an important impact on the subsequent measures taken by the patentee and the invalid claimant.

With the rapid increase in the number of drug patent applications and patent authorizations in China, there are more and more phenomena of using invalidation to challenge other people’s drug patents and expand their own benefits. Even the patent departments of some companies will organize personnel to "attack" competitors’ patents; At the same time, in order to keep the core claims of their own patents, some patentees have reduced their patent protection scope through invalidation to avoid subsequent patent litigation. In short, it is one of the necessary skills for every pharmaceutical company to protect its "core rights" by using the patent invalidation system as much as possible.

Based on the case of sildenafil patent in Pfizer, the author explains the importance of "invalid patent". In this case, the key points of the game for "invalid reasons" are as follows:

1. The patent specification shall explain the drug activity, preparation method, effective dosage and use method of the drug, and describe the medical effect of the drug on the second indication in detail through animal experiment or clinical trial data. However, the writing of the instructions is far from the above requirements, so that technicians in the technical field can’t know what medicine to use, what disease to treat, how to use the medicine correctly and how effective it is by reading the instructions without creative labor.

Second, this patent specification only generally records that the compounds of the present invention have been tested in vitro and found to be strong selective inhibitors of PDE-V with specificity for cGMP; Ordinary technicians in this profession can’t see what the so-called particularly preferred compounds are from this description, while the claims seek to protect the use of four products, and ordinary technicians in this profession can’t determine the relationship between these four products and the particularly preferred compounds in the above text description.

Three, the applicant made a major amendment to the claim, in fact, after the original claim was deleted and reassembled. This modification cannot be directly and undoubtedly derived from the information disclosed in the original specification and claims. Obviously, because the original specification and the claims did not fully disclose that the products in the present claims have clear medical functions and unexpected technical effects as required by the Patent Law, the modification results of the claims cannot be directly and undoubtedly derived from the specification and the original claims.

4. As the existing cGMP and PDE inhibitors can be used to treat ED, it has been suggested and suggested many times in the relevant literature, it is not difficult for ordinary technicians in this field to draw the results in the claims from these tips and suggestions.

On the above questions, Pfizer answered each "invalid reason" one by one, proving that there is no problem with the creativity of its patent. After that, the original Patent Reexamination Board of China National Intellectual Property Administration finally declared the patent authorized by the original research company Pfizer invalid through in-depth research. Pfizer was dissatisfied with the above decision of the original re-examination board, and immediately appealed to the Beijing No.1 Intermediate People’s Court to sue the original patent re-examination board, requesting the court to cancel its decision of invalidation. After repeated debates, in 2006, the Beijing No.1 Intermediate People’s Court officially announced the revocation of the decision of No.6228 made by the original Patent Reexamination Board. Since then, Pfizer’s Viagra has made huge profits in China every year, but sildenafil produced by domestic generic drug companies cannot be listed. This situation continued until the listing of domestic sildenafil "Jinge" in 2014.

The importance of "public opinion"

The application for "invalid patent" can not be disputed only after authorization. When the application documents appear, they can be questioned in the form of "public opinions". Article 48 of the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Patent Law stipulates that "from the date of publication of an application for a patent for invention to the date of announcement of the grant of a patent right, anyone may put forward opinions to the patent administration department of the State Council and explain the reasons", which is also called "public opinions" in the industry. Pharmaceutical enterprises should make full use of this provision to protect their own interests to the maximum extent.

The rosiglitazone case illustrates the importance of "public opinion". In 1993, GlaxoSmithKline applied for a series of patents including pharmaceutical compounds and compositions, such as the invention patent application with the application number of CN98805686.0, which requested to protect the pharmaceutical composition containing 2mg~8mg of rosiglitazone. The application date was June 2, 1998, the publication date was July 5, 2000, and it was authorized on July 2, 2003. It can be seen that it took about three years from the disclosure of the patent application to the announcement of authorization. During these three years, the relevant enterprises in China did not put forward any "public opinions".

In 2004, when Shanghai Sanwei Pharmaceutical, Zhejiang Wanma Pharmaceutical, Chongqing Taiji Group and other domestic enterprises have invested a lot in research and development of this drug or entered the stage of drug registration, they suddenly received a lawyer’s letter from GlaxoSmithKline, claiming that the products developed by the above-mentioned enterprises infringed their patent ZL98805686.0, demanding that the above-mentioned enterprises stop the research and development and listing of related products and compensate for the losses. As a result, these enterprises jointly requested the original patent reexamination board to declare the patent invalid. Although the case ended in GlaxoSmithKline’s abandonment of the patent, it lasted for a long time and had a great impact, causing huge losses to China enterprises.

Analyzing the case, when domestic pharmaceutical companies were ready for production and even obtained the approval of drug production, they found that they were facing the infringement lawsuit of foreign pharmaceutical companies, so they passively responded and rushed to the original Patent Reexamination Board to file a patent invalidation request in an attempt to invalidate the patent. In this case, even if the patent right can finally be declared null and void in whole or in part, China enterprises still face huge market risks and interest losses due to the long trial period and long-term uncertainty of rights.

In fact, an application for a patent for invention will be published within 18 months from the date of filing (unless the applicant requests it to be published in advance), and then the Patent Office will start substantive examination on it at the request of the applicant. If the examiner thinks that the patent application conforms to the relevant provisions of the Patent Law and the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Patent Law, the patent right will be granted and announced to the public, otherwise, it will be rejected. After the patent is granted, anyone (the third party) who thinks there is a problem with the patent grant may go to the relevant department to request that the patent be declared invalid. Of course, if you are not satisfied with the invalidation or review decision made by the relevant department, either party can also bring a lawsuit in court. Generally speaking, after an invention patent is published 18 months from the date of filing, it sometimes takes 2-4 years to decide whether to authorize it. At this stage, whether the patent application can be finally authorized is still in a pending state, which is the time allowed to put forward "public opinions" as stipulated in Article 48 of the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Patent Law. It can be seen that how to reduce the losses caused by patent disputes relatively, the "public opinion" before patent authorization is very important.

In recent years, Chinese pharmaceutical enterprises have paid more and more attention to the protection of intellectual property rights. The intellectual property departments of many large pharmaceutical companies have even reached the scale of 100 people. In addition, for some important patent applications, some pharmaceutical companies will take them to more professional patent agencies for secondary processing and polishing before submitting applications. It can be seen that pharmaceutical companies pay more and more attention to patent application and are more and more cautious about controlling patent quality. With the increasing number of patent challenges and invalid patent applications, the trend of domestic pharmaceutical companies turning from defending to attacking intellectual property rights has been initially established.
