In the peak season of influenza, what can I do besides drinking more hot water?

[Editor’s note]

It’s the flu season again, and you are surrounded by "pathogens". Have you been recruited recently? This old article in RUC News Workshop will help us understand the flu cases and their harm at this time last year. In order to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy in the article "Middle-aged Beijing with Influenza", how should we deal with the menacing flu virus?

Zhang Li, a student at a university in Beijing, recalled that the day before she got the flu, "she changed into a light down jacket without a hat, and everything else was the same as usual." The next morning, Zhang Li felt very tired. She took a temperature of 38.7℃ and had a low fever. She took a cold medicine and fell asleep. By 7 o’clock in the evening, Zhang Li felt cold, weak, slightly tinnitus, and her temperature had soared to 39.8℃, so she quickly took a taxi with her friends to the hospital and hung up the emergency room. The emergency hall was crowded that night, and Zhang Li waited for a long time before she heard the nurse give her number.

In fact, the emergency rooms of many hospitals were overcrowded that night, and most of the patients were diagnosed with the flu. According to the data of China CDC, since the winter of 2017, the level of influenza activity in China has risen rapidly, and the number of patients in respiratory departments in many hospitals across the country has suddenly increased, even overloaded.

After winter, respiratory departments in many hospitals across the country are overloaded.

Zhong Shijie, director of the Department of Health Care of Guangzhou Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that since December 2017, the number of patients has increased by 20-30% than usual, and there are more than 3,000 cold patients who come to the hospital every day, accounting for about 30% of the number of outpatients.

Since December 2017, the emergency department of Hunan Children’s Hospital has received more than 1,000 consultations every day, and more than 80% of them are upper respiratory tract infections.

According to the results of influenza surveillance in China CDC, in the first week of 2018, the percentage of influenza-like cases in the southern provinces of China in the total number of outpatient and emergency cases (ILI%) was 6.0%, which was higher than the same period in 2015-2017.

The influenza epidemic situation in southern provinces showed a downward turning point in the third week of January 2018, and then the level of influenza activity in the whole country continued to decline.

Since the winter of 2017, the flu epidemic in northern China has also been more serious. 

According to the Beijing Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, in the 45th week of 2017, the number of influenza cases in November increased by 82% compared with the previous month. The peak came in December, and the number of flu cases counted every week doubled.

Li Xuechao, deputy director of the Second Department of Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province, said that on December 24, the number of outpatients in the hospital reached a new high-700 in emergency and 300 in outpatient. The main symptoms of patients are fever, and pneumonia and upper respiratory tract infection account for more than two thirds.

The results of influenza surveillance in China CDC show that in the first week of 2018 (January 1-7), the percentage of influenza-like cases reported by sentinel hospitals in northern provinces accounted for 5.8% of the total number of outpatient and emergency cases (ILI%), which was higher than that in the same period of 2015-2017.

The northern provinces showed a downward turning point in the first week of January 2018, and then the level of influenza activity in the whole country continued to decline.

Even if you don’t go to the hospital and open your circle of friends, you can see the traces of the flu that has spread throughout the country in this "sphere of influence". Some even joked that the hospital has become the "best tourist attraction" this winter.

However, not every patient can recover smoothly like Zhang Li. China CDC pointed out that the number of severe cases and deaths of influenza this winter has increased sharply compared with previous years.

According to the incidence and death data of legal infectious diseases released by China CDC, the number of influenza cases nationwide was 27,731 in November 2017, and it soared to 121,800 in December 2017, far higher than the same period in 2016 (the number of cases in November 2016 was 20,800, and the number of cases in December 2016 was 38,313).

The number of influenza cases and deaths in January 2018 were the highest since the winter. A total of 273,949 cases of influenza were recorded in China, with 56 deaths. The number of influenza deaths was 9.3 times that of the same period last year (6 deaths in January 2017) and 11.2 times that of last month (5 deaths in December 2017). This figure is equivalent to the number of influenza deaths in 2016, even higher than the number of deaths in 2017 (38).

In fact, according to the data released by the National Health and Family Planning Commission, the winter flu in 2017 was the second largest number of influenza cases and deaths in the past 10 years.

Why is the winter flu so "menacing"?

According to the data of China National Influenza Center, the influenza activity in the southern and northern provinces of China was at the peak level in winter at the end of 2017, and the main influenza virus detected was Yamagata strain B virus.

Human influenza virus can be divided into three types: A, B and C, which are the pathogens of influenza. Among them, influenza A virus is the most susceptible to mutation, which can infect people and many kinds of animals, and is the main pathogen of human influenza. H1N1 and H3N2 in influenza A virus have been prevalent in people for a long time.

Classification of influenza viruses

On January 9, 2018, Jiao Yahui, deputy director of the Medical Administration and Hospital Authority of the National Health and Family Planning Commission, said at the press conference of the National Health and Family Planning Commission that the dominant strain prevalent this winter has not become the dominant strain for many years, resulting in the lack of immune barrier and the increase of susceptible population, which is one of the reasons for the high incidence of epidemic this winter.

Some experts also pointed out that the current domestic trivalent influenza vaccine does not include the type of Yamagata B, so the trivalent influenza vaccine widely promoted in China last year did not work, which is one of the reasons for the rapid spread of the epidemic.

In 2017, "vaccine miss target", vaccine is still the best prevention method.

The World Health Organization believes that the most effective way to prevent influenza is vaccination. The purpose of using vaccines is to provide immune protection for as many people as possible before exposure to pandemic influenza virus. Vaccination is especially important for people with high risk of severe influenza complications and contact with high-risk individuals.

Safe and effective vaccines have existed and been used for more than 60 years. When the epidemic virus is consistent with the vaccine virus, influenza vaccine is the most effective. Influenza viruses are constantly changing, so the network of national influenza centers and WHO cooperation centers around the world will continuously monitor the popular influenza viruses and make predictive recommendations for the dominant influenza strains in the next influenza season in February and September each year. Vaccine manufacturers generally make influenza vaccines according to the predictions of the World Health Organization.

But the World Health Organization’s prediction can’t guarantee 100% accuracy. Among the dominant strains predicted by GISRS (Global Influenza Surveillance and Response Network) in the northern hemisphere this year, Yamagata strain of influenza B, which was prevalent in winter in China last year, was not included, and the vaccine had no protection against this type. Therefore, for the widespread epidemic of yamagata influenza B virus, the trivalent influenza vaccine widely implemented in China last year did not work. In medical terms, this is called "vaccine miss-target".

The United States and Europe also suffer from "off-target". China News Service reported that the outbreak of influenza B yamagata in the United States and Europe has killed more than 100 people, making it the most serious influenza in the past decade.

However, even if the epidemic virus is not completely consistent with the vaccine virus, the influenza vaccine can still provide protection for healthy adults. A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences entitled "Even a’ bad’ flu vaccine can save 61,000 lives: study" shows that if the coverage of the vaccinated population accounts for 40% of the total population, even if the curative effect is not good, the flu vaccine can still save thousands of lives.

It is worth noting that influenza vaccine has the best vaccination time. After vaccination, it takes about 2-4 weeks for a person’s body to gain immunity. According to the World Health Organization, vaccination in October and November can ensure immunization before the arrival of the epidemic season. Of course, even if the best time is missed, vaccination can provide protection.

Therefore, it is particularly important to vaccinate as many people as possible.

Influenza vaccine has been neglected and the vaccination rate is very low.

Although the World Health Organization has repeatedly pointed out that influenza vaccination is the best way to prevent influenza, most people in China are not "cold" about influenza vaccination. The data shows that in 2017, the China Institute for the Verification of Pharmaceutical and Biological Products (hereinafter referred to as the Central Inspection Institute) issued a total of about 29 million influenza vaccines. According to the statistics of China’s total population of 1.39 billion, taking into account the number of unfinished and expired return and damage, the vaccination rate in China is less than 2%.

China CDC and multi-local CDC sampled 9673 people in Sichuan and Henan, and found that 4381 people were unwilling to get flu vaccine. More than 30% of these people are "worried about the quality and safety of vaccines"; 26.5% are "not familiar with influenza vaccine"; 17.8% think that "vaccination can’t reduce the possibility of getting flu"; And "the flu is a minor illness and does not require vaccination" accounted for 5.0%. In addition, some people said that "I don’t know about the flu vaccine" and "the cost of vaccination is high", which leads to reluctance to vaccinate.

So what’s the situation abroad?

According to CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; According to the data of Centres for disease and prevention, as of December 15, 2017, 150.3 million doses of influenza vaccine have been distributed in the United States, and it is expected to reach 166 million doses in the whole flu season from 2017 to 2018. In 2017, the vaccination rate of the whole population in the United States was 38.6%, including 38.8% of children and adolescents and 38.5% of adults. In other words, China’s current influenza vaccination rate is only 1/20 of that of the United States, which is equivalent to the vaccination level of the United States in the early 1980s. In contrast, with the gradual improvement of domestic economic conditions and the gradual increase of medical and health investment, there is still huge room for improvement in influenza vaccination rate in China.

The use of influenza vaccine has bottomed out and the vaccine production is facing challenges.

At present, the global vaccine supply is facing uneven geographical distribution and insufficient production. 90% of the global influenza vaccine production capacity is concentrated in some countries in Europe and North America, and their population accounts for only 10% of the global population, and the maximum vaccine production can not meet the expected demand of the World Health Organization’s strategic action plan to deal with pandemic influenza.

As for the domestic vaccine market, before that, there were trivalent influenza vaccines (including two kinds of influenza A and one kind of influenza B) in the domestic market, and then National Medical Products Administration approved the application for production registration of tetravalent influenza virus split vaccine. The tetravalent influenza virus split vaccine approved for marketing this time contains not only the virus of common trivalent influenza vaccine, but also BY influenza virus, which is also the main virus strain prevalent in China’s influenza season in 2017-2018.

In 2009-2010, affected by the outbreak of influenza A, the number of batches of domestic influenza vaccines reached a peak of more than 60 million, and then began to fall back and stabilize at 30-40 million. On the one hand, the influenza epidemic was controlled, and on the other hand, the influenza virus was mutating every year. Every year, the vaccines were developed for the prevalent strains of that year, which caused the research and development of manufacturers to lag behind. Coupled with the influence of the new GMP standard, the number of batches of domestic influenza vaccines showed a trend.

In 2017, more than 29 million influenza vaccines were issued nationwide, an increase of more than 4 million compared with 2016, with a year-on-year increase of nearly 20%. In 2017, with the outbreak of the epidemic and the enhancement of people’s awareness of vaccination, influenza vaccines have bottomed out.

According to the World Health Organization, the current vaccine market faces three challenges: to produce enough high-quality vaccines in a short period of time to meet global demand after the start of the pandemic; To provide fair access to vaccines; And to ensure that there is sufficient capacity to deliver vaccines to all communities.

In cooperation with representatives of major stakeholders in the field of influenza vaccine and immunization, the World Health Organization adopted the Global Influenza Vaccine Action Plan in 2006 to meet these challenges. At another meeting held in May 2006, the World Health Organization formulated a global action plan to increase the supply of pandemic influenza vaccine. Participants called for better development of vaccine production capacity in developing countries, especially for developing countries that are currently building vaccine production facilities.

Aiming at the population coverage of the World Health Organization, increasing the use of seasonal influenza vaccine is undoubtedly the most effective way to increase the production of pandemic influenza vaccine. However, it may take four to five years to achieve a significant increase in vaccine production through this approach.

A week later, Zhang Li finally recovered from the flu. However, not everyone is as lucky as her in this fierce and worst flu storm in ten years. At the end of 2017, the article "Middle-aged Beijing under the Flu", which exploded the circle of friends, told a story: a 60-year-old tough-hearted father-in-law in Northeast China, because he didn’t listen to his children’s advice, didn’t wear a shirt to open the window and caught a cold, and went his own way and didn’t seek medical treatment in time. Twenty-nine days after the onset of the disease, he was infected by an unknown virus caused by a cold. Even though he spent 1 million yuan in the ICU ward of a third-class hospital in Beijing, he was not saved.

Similar tragedies have something to do with our contempt for the flu. How to face up to the possible harm of influenza and take a series of preventive measures for this is a problem that we should pay attention to.

How to promote the strategy of healthy China and enhance people’s sense of livelihood?

  Xinhuanet Beijing, March 12 (Reporter cares about intern Xu Shutong) In the new era, the reform of China’s medical and health system has been steadily advanced, the level of basic medical insurance and serious illness insurance has been improved, the scope of direct settlement of medical treatment across provinces and places has been expanded, the construction of general practitioners has been strengthened, and maternal and child health care services have been improved. Support the inheritance and development of Chinese medicine … The strategy of promoting a healthy China has been included in this year’s government work report as the key work to improve security and improve people’s livelihood. In the interview of the two sessions of Xinhuanet in 2018, graded diagnosis and treatment, training of grassroots doctors, digital medical care, and "preventing diseases" … these are all hot topics for the deputies. Let’s take a look.

  Expensive and difficult medical treatment has long been a major problem in people’s livelihood in China. The government work report pointed out that to improve the level of basic medical insurance and serious illness insurance, the per capita financial subsidy standard for residents’ basic medical insurance will be increased by 40 yuan, and half of it will be used for serious illness insurance. Expand the scope of direct settlement of medical treatment across provinces and different places, and include all grassroots hospitals, migrant workers and foreign employment entrepreneurs.

  In this regard, Guo Yufen, deputy to the National People’s Congress, director of the Health and Family Planning Commission of Gansu Province and director of the Provincial Medical Reform Office, said that in view of the problem that some poor people look down on illness, Gansu has strengthened the government’s all-out guarantee. For the compliance medical expenses of the poor people who have set up a file, in addition to basic medical insurance reimbursement and serious illness reimbursement, a serious illness reimbursement policy has also been introduced. Together with medical assistance, the accumulated people only pay 3,000 yuan each year, and the rest is guaranteed by the policy. Click details > > >

??? For a long time, the ability of primary doctors, especially those in remote areas, has been widely concerned. How to retain doctors in remote areas? Let the graded referral achieve better results? Yan wang, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and chief physician of the Department of Orthopaedics of the General Hospital of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, said that physician education is very important. For the most basic and remote grassroots doctors, they should be trained "short and fast" to return to the grassroots level and serve the grassroots people; Standardized training should be carried out for the majority of intermediate doctors, so that the established graded referral can achieve better results. The state has put forward a graded diagnosis and treatment system, and this policy is very good. However, to really do a good job in graded referral, some things still need to be gradually improved. The first and most important thing is to have qualified doctors. Click details > > >

  How does Jiangsu promote the construction and training of general practitioners? Tang Jinhai, deputy to the National People’s Congress and president of jiangsu province hospital, said that we should attach importance to and respect general practitioners and mobilize their enthusiasm to serve at the grassroots level.

  "General practitioners working in primary medical institutions are the closest health" gatekeepers "to the masses, the first pass for the masses to see a doctor, and an important part of promoting the graded diagnosis and treatment system. Our training for general practitioners is very strict and requires them to make more efforts, so we should attach importance to and respect general practitioners. " Tang Jinhai said.

  "Strengthening the construction of national innovation system" appeared in the Government Work Report. Science and technology and innovation have always been the core of the medical field, and Internet+medical care has gradually begun to enter people’s lives. Committee member Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and Sogou CEO Wang Xiaochuan called for combining medical institutions with the Internet, establishing digital family doctors, and providing information services to patients at an early stage, so that more people can get more medical knowledge, information and services under the condition of insufficient social resources.

  "There are still problems that it is difficult and expensive to see a doctor, including I went to the hospital to register, and even after I registered, I went to the wrong department and had to retire and re-register. For us, this is a great consumption. China’s overall medical resources are insufficient and unevenly distributed. At present, the government wants to promote family doctors, which is a good idea, so that medical services can directly benefit more people. But as far as the current social resources are concerned, it is impossible for everyone to call a doctor to serve you. I think it is more important to realize the digital family doctor, which undertakes two responsibilities. " Wang Xiaochuan said. Click details > > > 

?  Hu Jiqiang: The prospect of promoting healthy China strategic Internet medical service industry can be expected.

??????? Hu Jiqiang, deputy to the National People’s Congress and chairman of Kang Enbei Group Co., Ltd., made a special interview with Xinhuanet 2018 National People’s Congress.

  "Although online sales of prescription drugs have not been liberalized in policy, online consultation can be conducted, and an online and offline interactive system can be formed through online medical services. Internet medical care can directly connect medical resources and medical terminals in big cities, and patients can get higher-level medical services on the network platform. Relying on such a platform can serve a huge crowd, and I think there may be a world-class medical service company in this field. As a company, we must seize this opportunity. " Hu Jiqiang said.

??? In addition to timely treatment, the prevention of disease is also one of the topics of concern to the people. China has a huge group of patients with chronic diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease, tumors, etc., especially diabetes and hypertension, and the number of patients exceeds 100 million. How can such a huge group prevent and control chronic diseases? Wang Jie, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and president of Guang ‘anmen Hospital of Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, put forward some strategies of Chinese medicine in the prevention and control of chronic diseases.

  "Give play to the leading role of Chinese medicine in preventing diseases. Prevention of disease is one of the important concepts of TCM, including three levels: prevention before disease, prevention of change after disease, and prevention of recurrence after disease. To control chronic diseases, the most important thing is to give priority to prevention. Through health care, we can get sick less, get sick later, get sick slowly and avoid serious illness. What if the patient has a chronic disease? The blood lipid is already high, the coronary heart disease has formed, and the artery has hardened. It is necessary to prevent it from developing into a serious illness through effective treatment. It is even more difficult to let coronary heart disease become an acute myocardial infarction, or even die. This is the meaning of preventing the disease from changing. After the disease is controlled, it should be prevented from recurrence and metastasis, so that it can be better stabilized. These aspects can play a leading role in the treatment of diseases by Chinese medicine. " Wang Jie said. Click details > > >

How much discount can your car enjoy under the national subsidy policy in 2025?

In 2025, the national subsidy policy was finally announced! Want to know how much subsidy you can get? Don’t worry, the wonderful content will be announced immediately!

First, let’s focus on the scrapping subsidy policy. No matter which owner you are, as long as your fuel vehicle is purchased before June 30, 2012, new energy vehicle is registered before December 31, 2018, or diesel vehicle is registered before June 30, 2014, and you can get a subsidy of 20,000 yuan after scrapping. If you choose to buy a fuel vehicle with a displacement of 2.0 or less, you can also get a subsidy of 15,000 yuan. The humanization of this policy is that it does not limit the number of vehicle transfers, but only pays attention to the purchase or registration time of vehicles.

However, it is worth noting that each car owner is only allowed to enjoy the subsidy once a year, regardless of the number of vehicles under his name. This provision ensures the fairness and universality of subsidies.

Some people may wonder, if you don’t choose to scrap, is there any subsidy opportunity? The answer is yes. The replacement subsidy policy is equally attractive. As long as the vehicles under your name are purchased before January 8, 2025, you can get a subsidy of 15,000 yuan for replacing new energy vehicles and 13,000 yuan for replacing fuel vehicles. This policy provides more choices for car owners.

Here, remind consumers to be cautious when buying a car. Be sure to confirm whether the vehicle is licensed, because some brands will license the new car first and then sell it at a big discount in order to sprint sales. Although the vehicle is brand-new, it can no longer enjoy the subsidy policy. Before buying a car, be sure to ask the salesperson whether the car is in the purchase tax exemption catalogue. In particular, some minority brands and brands in trouble cannot enjoy subsidies if they are not in the catalogue.

Finally, consumers are requested to purchase cars rationally and make full use of the state subsidy policy to save the cost of car purchase for themselves.

Guizhou Bijie Finance Bureau: Building a Financial Big Data Platform to Help Financial Management Improve Quality and Efficiency

  Since the beginning of this year, Bijie City Finance Bureau has actively explored the financial management mechanism of "system+technology", and made every effort to promote the construction of "Bijie City Financial Management Big Data Platform" to help improve the quality and efficiency of financial management.

  First, strengthen overall planning and improve the system functional architecture.Adhere to the principle of "strengthening top-level design, insisting on demand-driven, integrating data resources and data value-oriented". At the beginning of the year, we planned the structure of data query, data analysis, data prediction, data early warning, data monitoring and data decision-making, and built a government financial management platform based on big data technology in three phases by 2025. At present, the first phase of the platform is under construction, and efforts are made to lay a solid foundation for data.

  The second is to integrate data resources and build a financial data center.Coordinate and integrate financial budget revenue and expenditure management, treasury management, budget execution monitoring, financial accounting supervision, special fund supervision and other data resources to build the city’s financial big data center. At present, the city’s finance in the budget implementation, three guarantees, transfer payments and other business areas, to achieve fiscal revenue, fiscal expenditure, treasury data T+1 statistics and monitoring and early warning.

  The third is to focus on unified construction and sharing and promote system integration and development.Based on the integration of budget management, the platform gathers the data of each county (district) in the budget execution system. On the basis of fully considering the business needs of cities and counties, expand and integrate the data of various business systems. Through personnel management and authority setting, financial users can quickly query relevant data, effectively avoiding repeated construction and waste of resources.

  At present, the platform has collected the city’s financial data from 2021 to 2023, including endogenous data and macroeconomic data, to realize the sharing of internal data resources. After the platform is completed, it will provide sharing interfaces for other departments to improve the transparency of financial management.

Finance provides strong support for the healthy development of the real economy (financial eyes, financial efforts to stabilize the economy)

  "In the first half of the year, the People’s Bank of China reduced the reserve ratio by 0.25 percentage points, turned over the balance profit of 900 billion yuan, reasonably increased the liquidity supply, and guided financial institutions to increase credit support for the real economy." A few days ago, Ruan Jianhong, Director of the Survey and Statistics Department of the People’s Bank of China, introduced it at the press conference of the State Council Office.

  Provide differentiated financial services for industries that are greatly affected by the epidemic, increase financial support for small and micro enterprises and other trapped market entities, and strengthen financial support for core enterprises in the industrial chain supply chain … … Since the beginning of this year, in the face of the adverse impact of COVID-19 epidemic and other factors on economic and social development, China has taken various measures to increase financial support, and made every effort to stabilize economic growth and stabilize market players. The smooth flow of financial blood has provided strong support for the healthy development of the real economy.

  Policy strengthening, "real money and silver" serving the real economy

  A water protects the field and is surrounded by mountains. Fuquan City, Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province, is rich in resources. With the acceleration of green development, phosphorus chemical industry, new energy materials and other industries here have become new engines for development. Since the beginning of this year, the situation at home and abroad has changed, and the local leading enterprise Chuanheng Chemical has encountered unprecedented challenges.

  "The quotation of upstream raw materials continues to rise, and downstream overseas customers can’t sign for payment, and the company’s capital chain is extremely tight." He Yonghui, chief financial officer of Chuanheng Chemical Co., Ltd., frowned.

  According to the actual situation of the company, Qiannan Branch of China Construction Bank sent a special working group to customize the financing plan. "We linked credit resources and strength with CCB Macau Branch to innovate ‘ Cross-border financing loan ’ In this way, enterprises can get financial support at the best interest rate. " Hu Shaoling, head of the company department of Qiannan Branch of China Construction Bank, said.

  "In less than 10 working days, we were given a loan of 30 million yuan, which reduced the financing cost for the company and allowed us to calmly cope with the price increase of raw materials and the impact of the epidemic." He Yonghui told reporters that it is not only credit support, but also CCB helps the company to participate in international competition by decentralizing the sea freight review authority and exchange rate concessions for the company’s foreign exchange service needs.

  In Fuquan City, Qiannan Branch of China Construction Bank has organized a special financial service task force, which has docked 4.67 billion yuan for 14 key phosphorus chemical enterprises and put in loans exceeding 500 million yuan.

  Since the beginning of this year, the complexity, severity and uncertainty of China’s economic development environment have increased. The financial management department takes the initiative and makes great efforts to support stable economic growth and stabilize market players. "The People’s Bank of China will intensify the implementation of prudent monetary policy, give full play to the dual functions of monetary policy tools in terms of aggregate and structure, and strive to serve the real economy and stabilize the economic market." Yan Jianhong said.

  The data shows that in the first half of the year, the scale of social financing in China increased by 21 trillion yuan, an increase of 3.2 trillion yuan year-on-year, and RMB loans increased by 13.68 trillion yuan, an increase of 919.2 billion yuan over the same period of last year. At the same time, the central bank continued to release the reform potential of the loan market quotation rate (LPR). The one-year LPR and the five-year LPR decreased by 10 basis points and 20 basis points respectively. In June, the interest rate of new corporate loans was 4.16%, which was 34 basis points lower than the same period of last year. The comprehensive financing cost of enterprises decreased steadily, and the quality and efficiency of financial services to the real economy improved significantly.

  It is not only the leading enterprises in the industry that benefit. Since the beginning of this year, the People’s Bank of China, in conjunction with relevant departments, has implemented 23 measures to provide financial services for epidemic prevention and control, economic and social development, promote the recovery and development of difficult industries in the service sector, and intensify efforts to help small and medium-sized enterprises out of difficulties, so as to support market players to get out of difficulties.

  — — Increase policy incentives and increase the supply of small and micro loans for general benefits.

  In Yuheyuan Farm in Huangdu Village, Xilong Township, Anji County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, tea farmer Xu Xin ‘an is working hard. "This year, affected by the epidemic, a large number of teas are unsalable, and many tea farmers are short of funds. ‘ Liangshan White Tea Loan ’ Helped us solve the problem. " Xu Xin ‘an said.

  At the beginning of this year, the People’s Bank of China launched the universal micro-loan support tool to provide incentive funds according to 1% of the increase in the balance of universal micro-loans of local corporate financial institutions. Since the second quarter, the proportion of incentive funds has been increased from 1% to 2%. Under the guidance of policy tools, Anji Rural Commercial Bank, which is under the jurisdiction of Zhejiang Rural Commercial Bank, has strengthened its financial support for tea enterprises in all directions. By the end of June, this year, it had distributed 118 million yuan of "two mountains and white tea loans" to 415 tea farmers, a year-on-year increase of 15.9%.

  — — Continue to reduce fees and profits and reduce the operating costs of enterprises.

  With the advantages of pollution-free vegetables, Fuzhou Youye Ecological Agriculture Co., Ltd. in Fujian Province has become the core supplier of vegetables for large supermarkets such as Wal-Mart and Metro. Under the guidance of Fuzhou Central Sub-branch of the People’s Bank of China, Fujian Strait Bank launched a fee reduction policy for inter-bank transfer of small and micro enterprises to help enterprises reduce costs. "It can save nearly 60,000 yuan in handling fees every year, which really makes us a lot easier." You Jiwang, the company’s financial director, said.

  In recent years, China has continuously promoted the financial system to reduce fees and make profits from the real economy. In September last year, the People’s Bank of China and other departments launched 12 measures to reduce fees, and by March this year, more than 12 billion yuan of payment fees had been reduced for more than 82 million market entities.

  — — Delay the repayment of principal and interest to help small and micro enterprises tide over the difficulties.

  "Fortunately, there is a good policy to postpone the repayment of principal and interest, which has helped us survive this barrier." Mr. Yan runs a small and micro enterprise engaged in sand and gravel transportation in Shunde District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province. Because he is a transport ship purchased by loan, he has to repay the bank every month.

  In response to the impact of the epidemic, the Guangzhou Branch of the People’s Bank of China guided the financial institutions under its jurisdiction to implement the policy of postponing the repayment of principal and interest this year. Shunde Rural Commercial Bank handled the formalities of postponing Mr. Yan for three months at the first time to tide over the difficulties.

  — — Optimize financial supply and provide convenient financial services.

  "Lending is fast, and the whole process is done online, ‘ Gongxin e loan ’ Send timely rain to our small and micro enterprises. " Mr. Zhao, head of Dalian Wei ‘an Zongheng Technology Co., Ltd. in Liaoning Province, said.

  "Under the influence of the epidemic, it is difficult for small and micro enterprises to apply for loans offline. We have innovated research and development with Dalian Credit Center ‘ Gongxin e loan ’ Products, online docking with customers by non-contact remote service, relying on technology empowerment to achieve accurate drip irrigation, active credit granting and effective credit enhancement for small and micro enterprises. " Zhang Guanchu, head of Dalian technology and finance Service Center of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, told the reporter.

  In order to overcome the adverse impact of the epidemic on financial services, the financial sector organized various forms of government-bank-enterprise docking activities to help banks improve their customer acquisition, risk assessment and control capabilities, develop chattel mortgage and credit loan products according to the characteristics of enterprises, and strive to solve the financing problems of small and micro enterprises under the influence of the epidemic.

  The data shows that under the comprehensive effect of a series of measures, China’s inclusive small and micro loans continue to maintain the situation of "increasing quantity, expanding area and decreasing price" this year. At the end of June, the balance of Pratt & Whitney small and micro loans increased by 23.8% year-on-year, 12.6 percentage points higher than the growth rate of various loans; The number of micro-credit households in Pratt & Whitney was 52.39 million, a year-on-year increase of 36.8%. In May, the weighted average interest rate of new loans for Pratt & Whitney small and micro enterprises was 5.19%, down 5 basis points from the previous month.

  Focus on key points and enrich the toolbox of structural monetary policy.

  Tower cranes stand tall and machinery roar, and the construction of pumped storage power station project in Jinyun County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province is in full swing.

  This is the first single billion-dollar investment project in Lishui. It is estimated that after the project is completed in 2025, the annual power generation will reach 1.8 billion kWh, which will save about 230,000 tons of coal consumption and reduce 460,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.

  At the critical moment of the project, the People’s Bank of China created carbon emission reduction support tools to provide financial support for carbon emission reduction loans issued by financial institutions at 60% of the loan principal. "With the support of this tool, we issued a 25-year 80 million yuan carbon emission reduction loan at the first time to fully support the project construction." Zheng Zhenke, president of the Agricultural Bank of China Jinyun County Sub-branch, said that as of the end of June, 830 million yuan had been loaned for the project.

  In order to better support high-quality economic and social development, the People’s Bank of China has given full play to the precise guiding role of structural monetary policy, launched a number of policy tools, and continuously strengthened its support for key areas and weak links of the national economy.

  On the basis of launching carbon emission reduction support tools in the fourth quarter of last year and supporting special refinancing for clean and efficient use of coal, the People’s Bank of China has launched three new structural monetary policy tools this year, of which "scientific and technological innovation refinancing" mainly supports high-tech enterprises, "specialized and innovative" small and medium-sized enterprises, national technological innovation demonstration enterprises, manufacturing single champion enterprises and other scientific and technological enterprises, and "inclusive pension special refinancing" mainly supports qualified inclusive pension institutions. Promote the increase in the supply of inclusive old-age care services, and the "special refinancing for transportation and logistics" mainly supports enterprises and individuals that are greatly affected by the epidemic, such as road freight transport operators and truck drivers.

  "At present, China’s structural monetary policy toolbox has been relatively rich and perfect." Zou Lan, director of the Monetary Policy Department of the People’s Bank of China, said that the structural monetary policy tool is "focused on key points, reasonable and moderate, with progress and retreat", which is conducive to encouraging financial institutions to optimize the credit structure and achieve the effect of accurately tilting to inclusive finance, green development, scientific and technological innovation and other fields. Up to now, carbon emission reduction support tools have issued a total of 182.7 billion yuan, supporting banks to issue loans in the field of carbon emission reduction of 304.5 billion yuan, driving the reduction of carbon emissions by more than 60 million tons.

  At present, there are still many unstable and uncertain factors in domestic economic recovery. "With the acceleration of steady growth measures, corporate confidence and expectations continue to improve, and effective financing of the real economy is accelerating, which has created favorable conditions for further stabilizing the macroeconomic market in the second half of the year." Dong Ximiao, chief researcher of Zhaolian Finance, said.

  "In recent years, we have been adhering to the normal monetary policy, leaving sufficient policy space and tool reserves to meet the new challenges beyond expectations." Zou Lan said that in the second half of the year, the People’s Bank of China will continue to implement a package of policies and measures to stabilize the economy, increase the implementation of prudent monetary policies, create a good monetary and financial environment, form a joint policy force, and keep the economy running in a reasonable range.

Digital intelligence empowers the launch site with "intelligent wings"

CCTV News:At present, Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center widely uses big data and Internet of Things technology to improve the informationization level of the launch site and resolve the contradiction between the current high-density and normal tasks and the limited allocation of human resources. We walked into the strongest "wisdom brain" of the launch site — — Learn about the number intelligence center.

CCTV reporter Wang Xiaokun:As we have just seen in the emergency drill, if there is any abnormal fluctuation in thousands of sets of equipment in the launch area, the corresponding early warning information will be displayed here. Red flashing on the screen means that the equipment is not stable enough, while green means that everything is normal. The Digital Intelligence Center, like the "smart brain" of the launch site, can gather and analyze the information content such as temperature, humidity, cleanliness and personnel work situation in the rocket closed area, so that the overall situation of the launch site can be seen at a glance.

Manned space engineering has many systems, many interfaces and many states, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources in the traditional way and cannot complete the work with high quality. In recent years, the center has focused on improving the carrying capacity of the launch site, with the main goal of "improving quality, reducing staff and increasing efficiency". Hundreds of sensors have been arranged on the launch tower to collect the running status of the equipment on the tower in real time and send it back to the Digital Intelligence Center, which truly realizes the information, intelligence and visual management mode.

Hu Yanhua, Chief Information Assurance Responsibility Officer of Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center:In the past, the launch site had to invest a lot of manpower and material resources, such as air conditioning and power distribution, which required about 10 people and worked in three shifts 24 hours a day. In recent years, it only takes 2-mdash to monitor, identify and analyze parameters by using the Internet of Things and big data technology; Three people are on duty. Once an abnormal situation is found, it will automatically report to the police and inform relevant professionals to go to the scene for disposal, which greatly improves efficiency and reduces labor consumption.

In addition to monitoring the information data of tower facilities and equipment, the Digital Intelligence Center is also responsible for air conditioning, gas supply, fire fighting, communication, power distribution monitoring and other functions of the ground handling system, and provides key information such as the overall situation of the mission, on-site images, test launch process and comprehensive support evaluation for space launch organization and command.

Huang Xinli, head of information technology major at Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center:Provide information support for organization and command, equipment management, centralized duty, troubleshooting, etc.

Since 2012, after years of continuous investment, the centralized monitoring system has basically covered the remote online monitoring of more than 200 sets of facilities and equipment in more than 10 specialties at the launch site. Relying on the information center to achieve 24-hour monitoring duty, the reduction of duty force at the launch site and the improvement of emergency capability have achieved remarkable results.

Hu Yonggang, head of the information expert group of Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center:In the follow-up, our Digital Intelligence Center mainly made efforts in two aspects: First, we used major projects to build the wireless ecology of the launch site, and made every effort to make up for the lack of information application means, so that handheld command and mobile security became important means for the organization and command of the launch site in the future; The second is to increase the introduction of new technologies and means, give full play to the potential of existing information services, deepen the improvement of the intelligent ability of the launch site, and strive to resolve the challenges brought by high-density tasks to the improvement of the launch site’s ability.

Cross-border e-commerce injects new kinetic energy into foreign trade development

Cross-border e-commerce is a vital force in China’s foreign trade development and an important trend in international trade development. In June this year, the Ministry of Commerce and other departments jointly issued the Opinions on Expanding Cross-border E-commerce Exports and Promoting the Construction of Overseas Warehouses, aiming at expanding cross-border E-commerce exports, optimizing the layout of overseas warehouses and accelerating the cultivation of new kinetic energy of foreign trade. In this issue, invited experts will discuss relevant issues.

Leading the innovation and development of foreign trade formats

What are the characteristics and advantages of cross-border e-commerce compared with traditional foreign trade?

Wang Jian (Professor, university of international business and economics Institute of International Economics and Trade): Cross-border e-commerce is a new format and mode of foreign trade. The development and application of network information technology enables enterprises to innovate the mode of e-commerce, thus promoting the reform of foreign trade management mode.

The basic performance of cross-border e-commerce in the foreign trade industry is that many small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises and other foreign trade operators can directly sell their goods to overseas final consumers through the Internet platform or their own independent websites. Cross-border e-commerce can bypass many intermediate links in previous trade, such as importers and exporters, wholesalers, retailers, etc., so that foreign trade operators can have direct transactions with overseas consumers. Cross-border e-commerce also enables many small and medium-sized enterprises to compete with traditional foreign trade enterprises and even multinational companies in the global market. The gap market formed by the fragmentation of the global consumer market and the personalized evolution of demand allows small and medium-sized enterprises to find their own development space.

Small and medium-sized enterprises can participate in global trade through cross-border e-commerce because there has been business model innovation in the global market in the past 20 years, that is, the third-party platform model. Third-party platforms empower small and medium-sized enterprises and drive the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce. For example, the combination of Alibaba, China Manufacturing Network, Amazon, Yi Bei and other platforms with domestic industrial belt manufacturers has driven a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises to go to sea. In recent years, through innovative service modes, such as the fully managed and semi-managed service modes of overseas e-commerce platforms Temu and Shein, and the combination of short videos such as Tiktok and e-commerce, the platform has once again promoted the export of China manufacturing through cross-border e-commerce to a record high. According to official statistics, the import and export volume of cross-border e-commerce in China has exceeded 2 trillion yuan.

2023 is a year of explosive growth of cross-border electronic commerce in the world. The COVID-19 epidemic indirectly promoted the rapid development of e-commerce in the world. According to statistics, in 2023, 2.64 billion consumers around the world will have at least one online shopping experience. It is estimated that global e-commerce sales will increase by 50% in the next three years.

Cross-border e-commerce is leading the global market transformation. At present, the scale of cross-border e-commerce trade in all regions of the world has increased significantly, and consumers and business circles are concerned about the changes brought by cross-border e-commerce to global trade. Cross-border e-commerce has not only become an important choice for consumers in mature markets such as Europe and America, but also in Southeast Asia, Latin America and Africa.

Compared with traditional foreign trade, cross-border e-commerce has the following basic characteristics and advantages.

First, cross-border e-commerce has fragmented global trade. Because most cross-border e-commerce companies receive orders directly from overseas consumers, and network information technology makes global market information transparent and market trends change rapidly, foreign trade orders tend to be small and multi-frequency. Foreign trade service enterprises are also constantly innovating to provide various cross-border transportation and distribution methods to adapt to the development trend of fragmented trade.

Second, small and medium-sized enterprises participate in global trade in large quantities. Relying on the cross-border e-commerce platform, SMEs can quickly sell their products to consumers anywhere in the world. The third-party platform of cross-border e-commerce can provide foreign trade services such as information matching, payment and settlement, trade financing, etc., which greatly reduces the threshold for SMEs to participate in global trade, and the global market shows a trend of inclusive trade.

Third, cross-border e-commerce has changed the traditional trade process. Cross-border e-commerce sellers can pre-sell products on overseas e-commerce platforms, or test changes in market consumption preferences through "small orders and quick returns" to obtain the latest trends in overseas market consumption through data in the fastest way. This enables small and medium-sized enterprises to quickly lead overseas consumer markets and gain competitive advantages.

Fourth, cross-border e-commerce has formed a special international cooperation ecological service system. Although cross-border e-commerce can be understood as selling products directly to overseas final consumers, the development of cross-border e-commerce not only includes online marketing, sales and supply chain operation, but also involves many cooperation between horizontal and cross-border e-commerce operators based on the Internet. For example, cross-border e-commerce enterprises selling clothes in Africa should not only lay out the supply chain of cross-border e-commerce in China, but also cooperate with fashion designers, models, online celebrity and even local physical stores in Africa to establish a cross-border service ecosystem. China’s cross-border e-commerce enterprises and platforms pay more and more attention to integrating local resources into the cross-border e-commerce service system, which will help to create new cooperation models with host countries.

After more than 20 years of development, China’s cross-border e-commerce has become an important driving force to lead the innovation and development of foreign trade formats. At present, cross-border e-commerce continues to innovate. Through the pilot project in cross-border electronic commerce Comprehensive Experimental Zone, we attach great importance to the innovation of foreign trade mode and format, promote the digital transformation and international cooperation of foreign trade enterprises, and lay a solid foundation for the high-quality development of cross-border e-commerce. Model innovation, regulatory innovation, policy innovation and format innovation, which interact and integrate with each other, have become the main theme of cross-border e-commerce development.

Release consumption and supply dividends to the world

What is the significance of expanding cross-border e-commerce exports to foreign trade development? How effective has China’s cross-border e-commerce development achieved?

Li Mingtao (Dean, China International Electronic Commerce Center Research Institute, Ministry of Commerce): At present, China’s foreign trade export growth is facing greater uncertainty, global inflation has weakened external demand, geopolitical factors have caused logistics costs to rise, and trade protectionism in traditional key export markets such as the United States and the European Union has risen, which has become a major challenge for many foreign trade export enterprises.

In recent years, China’s cross-border e-commerce has maintained a rapid development trend, and its proportion in the scale of foreign trade import and export has been increasing, which has become a new channel for foreign trade enterprises to cope with global trade challenges. According to the statistics of the General Administration of Customs, in 2023, China’s cross-border e-commerce import and export was 2.38 trillion yuan, up 15.6% year-on-year, accounting for 5.7% of the total import and export value of goods trade in the same period, of which exports were 1.83 trillion yuan, up 19.6% year-on-year. In the first quarter of this year, China’s cross-border e-commerce import and export was 577.6 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9.6%. Cross-border e-commerce has become an important part of China’s import and export trade and an important channel for foreign trade enterprises to carry out import and export business.

At present, China is building a new development pattern with the domestic big cycle as the main body and the domestic and international double cycles promoting each other. Giving full play to the role of cross-border e-commerce as a strategic new channel can further enhance the global appeal of the powerful domestic market, effectively release the productivity of the domestic supply chain, and continuously enhance China’s ability to co-ordinate the domestic and international markets and resources. Cross-border e-commerce has always been at the forefront of opening to the outside world. China has fully released the dividends of market consumption and manufacturing supply to the world through the active opening policy in the field of cross-border e-commerce, which is conducive to expanding imports, promoting balanced trade development, and allowing more global high-quality goods to enter the China market to meet the needs of domestic consumption upgrading; It is also conducive to encouraging more China goods, brands and services to go abroad, tapping the advantages of China’s manufacturing and supply chain to explore the global market, and bringing more development dividends to global consumers. Cross-border e-commerce serves the online purchasing needs of consumers and buyers around the world for high-quality goods, connecting manufacturers, brands, traders and even individual online merchants from all over the world, and building an efficient online trade channel driven by technology. Relying on the new channel of cross-border e-commerce, Chinese enterprises have the extensive ability to directly reach the global terminal consumption and procurement needs.

In order to better serve the development needs of cross-border e-commerce industry, China has approved the construction of 165 cross-border electronic commerce Comprehensive Experimental Zones (hereinafter referred to as "Cross-border e-commerce Comprehensive Experimental Zones") in seven batches since 2015, covering 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), and Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Shandong have achieved full coverage of prefecture-level cities. As the main policy carrier to support the cross-border e-commerce industry, the core of the cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test area is to build "six systems and two platforms", namely, information sharing system, financial service system, intelligent logistics system, e-commerce credit system, risk prevention and control system and statistical monitoring system, as well as online comprehensive service platform and offline industrial park platform. Focusing on the development of cross-border e-commerce industry and the construction of comprehensive test area, China has successively issued a series of supportive and convenient policies for cross-border e-commerce, such as free customs clearance form for bonded stocking, check and release of parcel export list, summary statistics, tax exemption without tickets, 4% approved income tax for cross-border e-commerce retail enterprises, direct export from cross-border electronic commerce enterprises to enterprises, and facilitation of cross-border e-commerce export return.

The cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test area faces the needs of local industrial development, and continues to invest in carrier construction, hub building and policy innovation, strengthening the construction of "six systems and two platforms", especially deepening innovation in the public services of "six systems". On this basis, we will give priority to serving the export of China’s advantageous industries, vigorously develop the "cross-border e-commerce+industrial belt", tap the strong domestic supply chain capabilities through cross-border e-commerce, let more and better goods go out to serve the global market through cross-border e-commerce, build the cross-border e-commerce comprehensive test area into the main channel to support the standardized development and convenient services of cross-border e-commerce, and continuously improve the personalized and refined service level for the development needs of cross-border e-commerce enterprises, so that enterprises can truly enjoy the state’s taxation, foreign exchange settlement and customs clearance. At the same time, improve the infrastructure of public overseas warehouses, accelerate the construction of cross-border e-commerce public data service platforms, and cultivate more cross-border e-commerce export brand enterprises.

Overseas warehouses provide strong support for export e-commerce

What convenience can overseas warehouses provide for exporting e-commerce? What concrete achievements have been made in the construction and development of overseas warehouses in China?

Wang Huimin (researcher, Institute of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, Ministry of Commerce): Overseas warehouses refer to warehouses built or rented and operated by cross-border e-commerce related enterprises overseas, which provide comprehensive services such as overseas customs clearance, storage, transshipment, sorting, packaging, labeling, distribution and after-sales for cross-border e-commerce goods. Under the mode of cross-border e-commerce exporting overseas warehouses, enterprises can export cross-border e-commerce goods to overseas warehouses in batches first, and then deliver the goods from overseas warehouses to overseas consumers after the cross-border e-commerce platform generates orders. According to different clients, it is divided into self-operated overseas warehouses, third-party overseas warehouses and platform-type overseas warehouses.

Specifically, overseas warehouses can provide various conveniences for exporting e-commerce.

Conducive to improving the localization experience of consumers. In the traditional cross-border e-commerce logistics system, when overseas consumers place an order, the goods are transported from China to foreign countries and then distributed to consumers, which takes a long time and is difficult to support the return. Overseas warehouses transport goods overseas for stocking in advance, which can effectively shorten the delivery time of goods, ensure the stable supply of goods, improve the after-sales service ability and enhance the consumption experience in all directions.

It is conducive to optimizing the export structure of cross-border e-commerce. Compared with air transportation, the centralized transportation mode of overseas warehouses has broken through the restrictions on the weight, volume and nature of goods, and enriched the categories of goods exported by cross-border e-commerce. Overseas warehouses use big data technology to analyze inventory, cargo turnover, customer feedback, etc., and can find changes in consumer demand in time, and feed back information to domestic foreign trade enterprises, driving foreign trade enterprises to quickly develop new products and adjust product supply.

Conducive to cross-border e-commerce supply chain to reduce costs and increase efficiency. Overseas warehouses can achieve a good balance in reducing logistics costs and improving logistics efficiency. The docking of overseas warehouse management platform with enterprise resource planning systems of manufacturers and traders can promote the unification of production and stocking and meeting consumer demand, and alleviate problems such as insufficient inventory or unsalable goods. The supply chain management system of overseas warehouse construction is connected and linked with the cross-border e-commerce platform, which can realize the whole process tracking and dynamic management of source procurement, logistics and transportation, overseas sales and after-sales service, improve the efficiency of goods turnover, improve the accuracy of overseas stocking, and enhance the flexibility of supply chain. Build an overseas integrated service system with overseas warehouses as the core, and digitally connect with the domestic integrated service system to effectively improve the efficiency and level of cross-border e-commerce supply chain.

Conducive to cross-border e-commerce and local common development. In order to improve the localization service level, overseas warehouses gradually deepen cooperation with local governments, hire and train local employees, set up local management teams, and jointly operate distribution networks with foreign enterprises. Overseas warehouses can increase local employment, residents’ income and national tax revenue, and drive local businesses to improve their service capabilities. At the same time, it is also conducive to Chinese enterprises to understand local customs, consumption habits, lifestyles, etc., and better promote Chinese products and brands.

In recent years, the development of overseas warehouses in China has achieved remarkable results, which has strongly supported cross-border e-commerce exports.

First, the scale of overseas warehouses has grown rapidly. Overseas warehouses have increased from more than 1,200 in 2019 to more than 2,500 in 2023, more than doubling. The area of overseas warehouses has increased rapidly, the number of service enterprises has been increasing, and the categories of service goods have been enriched. In 2023, China’s overseas warehouse area exceeded 30 million square meters.

Second, the types and subjects of overseas warehouses are diversified. With the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce business, cross-border e-commerce platforms, cross-border logistics, cross-border supply chains, foreign trade and other enterprises actively participate in the construction of overseas warehouses and carry out differentiated services with their own unique advantages. Cross-border e-commerce sellers can choose suitable overseas warehouses according to their own business characteristics and sales scale.

The third is to expand the service function to high value. More and more overseas warehouses cooperate closely with cross-border e-commerce platforms and foreign trade enterprises to realize the linkage of manufacturing, logistics and transportation, multi-warehouse stocking and online sales, and enhance the stability and flexibility of cross-border supply chain. In order to enhance the product competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises, overseas warehouse enterprises continue to expand their service functions. The main value-added services include customs clearance integration, supply chain finance, international compliance consulting, precision marketing promotion, personalized customization and other services, as well as guiding foreign trade enterprises to quickly develop new products according to consumer demand. The localization service of overseas warehouses has enhanced the trust of overseas consumers in cross-border e-commerce platforms and sellers.

Fourth, the level of automation and intelligence of overseas warehouses has improved. Overseas warehouses usually include cross-border e-commerce goods storage center, commodity sorting system, warehouse management system, order management system and local logistics distribution system, equipped with automatic transmission lines, sorting lines, three-dimensional warehouse stackers, robots and other automatic equipment, and strengthen the interconnection of related information systems. Overseas warehouse enterprises continue to increase investment in R&D, and independently develop and deploy various operating systems, such as warehouse management system, cargo tracking system, automatic sorting system, intelligent dispatching system, supply chain management system, business intelligence analysis system, etc., to improve the automation and intelligence level of overseas warehouses.

Fifth, the global layout of overseas warehouses has been gradually optimized. Developed countries are the main markets for China’s cross-border e-commerce exports, and they were also important areas for China’s overseas warehouse construction. With the continuous expansion of cross-border e-commerce export market, emerging markets have become the focus of a new round of overseas warehouse layout in China. China’s overseas warehouses are widely distributed in Europe and the United States, countries and regions that have jointly built the "Belt and Road", and continue to optimize their layout according to changes in market demand.

Actively grasp the opportunity of "cross-border e-commerce+industrial belt"

How do you view the role of cross-border e-commerce in empowering industry development?

Zong Fangyu (Director of the Research Office of the Foreign Economic Research Department of the State Council Development Research Center): In 2023, the Opinions of the General Office of the State Council on Promoting the Stable Scale and Excellent Structure of Foreign Trade proposed that all localities should be encouraged to combine their industrial and endowment advantages to innovate and build a comprehensive cross-border e-commerce pilot zone, actively develop the "cross-border e-commerce+industrial belt" model, and drive cross-border e-commerce enterprises to export to enterprises. In June this year, the Opinions on Expanding Cross-border E-commerce Exports and Promoting the Construction of Overseas Warehouses issued by the Ministry of Commerce and other nine departments proposed to vigorously support the development of cross-border e-commerce empowerment industries.

In recent years, based on the industrial base, all localities have actively joined the new cross-border e-commerce track, forming a large number of "cross-border e-commerce+industrial belts" with distinctive characteristics and international competitiveness. Cross-border e-commerce has the advantages of market channel and business model, and industrial belt has the advantages of manufacturing and products. The two are mutually connected and promoted, forming a new model and new kinetic energy for China to participate in international trade. Guangzhou Cosmetics Industrial Belt, Shunde Small Household Appliances Industrial Belt, Yiwu Small Commodity Industrial Belt, Nantong Home Textile Industrial Belt, etc., which have their own characteristics, have quickly become important participants in international trade in sub-sectors with the empowerment of cross-border e-commerce.

Cross-border e-commerce helps the industry to rapidly expand the international market with high-quality products. Cross-border e-commerce has a fast growth and strong driving force, and its proportion in China’s goods trade has been increasing, driving industrial belt products to achieve high growth. On the one hand, cross-border e-commerce improves the efficiency of product exhibition and sales, so that the supply of products is directly connected with the demand of the international market in real time, and the products are displayed and sold to international customers after being put on the e-commerce platform; On the other hand, cross-border e-commerce has greatly expanded the market scope, changing the limitation that traditional product orders are mainly for a certain range of traders and buyers, not only for corporate customers, but also directly for large-scale individual consumers, covering a wider and deeper international market.

Cross-border e-commerce helps small and medium-sized business entities in industrial belts to deeply participate in economic globalization. There are more than 120,000 cross-border e-commerce business entities in China, a large number of which are small and medium-sized enterprises. Limited by the lack of international resources and asymmetric information, some small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises are limited by manufacturing links and OEM models. Cross-border e-commerce provides enterprises with a convenient "interface" to enter the international market. Many small and medium-sized enterprises quickly become micro-multinational companies, seize the opportunity of internationalization, actively build their own brands, participate in the whole process of product internationalization, and successfully obtain higher added value in the global value chain.

Cross-border e-commerce reshapes the organizational model of industrial belt. In terms of technology and business model, cross-border e-commerce connects the whole chain of industries such as design, procurement, production, logistics, finance, trade and sales through digital empowerment, and promotes the efficient flow of key elements such as logistics, information flow and capital flow. In terms of demand traction, the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce puts forward higher requirements for the response and support ability of industrial belts. After digital reconstruction and industrial upgrading, industrial belts have formed an efficient linkage industrial chain and ecosystem. For example, traditional industrial belts such as textiles, clothing and household products that have joined cross-border e-commerce show a trend of digitalization and intelligence.

Cross-border e-commerce promotes industrial belts to enhance innovation advantages. With the real-time analysis and judgment of cross-border e-commerce consumer demand big data and the efficient and integrated industrial cooperation system, the innovation process of products and categories has become more active, accurate, fast and flexible, thus enabling the industrial belt to form innovative advantages in core competitiveness such as iterative innovation of featured products and leading industrial trends. For example, relying on Guangzhou’s "Cross-border E-commerce+Clothing Industry Belt", the design and listing of a garment has been shortened from two or three months in the traditional mode to more than ten days, forming the innovative advantage of "small order and quick return" and leading the fashion consumption trend.

Cross-border e-commerce promotes the radiation extension of industrial belts and promotes new industrial belts. The high growth of cross-border e-commerce has continuously formed a radiation linkage around the industrial belt, attracting and gathering more specialized resources to join the industrial belt and promoting the industrial belt to become bigger and stronger. At the same time, the innovation speed of cross-border e-commerce format is fast, and the consumer demand is changing with each passing day. Some areas show new features such as diversification, niche and customization, which constantly spawns industrial belts featuring new categories and formats.

In the future, we should actively grasp the opportunity of "cross-border e-commerce+industrial belt" and promote the integrated development of digital economy and real economy. Efforts should be made to cultivate well-known brands of cross-border e-commerce, encourage enterprises with outstanding competitive advantages and great potential to improve their brand international popularity, and drive industrial belts to enhance their position in international trade and global value chains. Using "AI+ cross-border e-commerce" to form a new empowerment for the industrial belt, the breakthrough of AI technology is expected to accelerate the innovation and transformation of the whole process such as manufacturing, R&D and design, consumer demand and business model, and open up new space for the integrated development of cross-border e-commerce and industrial belts.

Encourage accurate two-way cooperation between cross-border e-commerce platforms and industrial belts, guide more sub-sectors to develop into characteristic industrial belts, and build a platform for more SMEs to participate in the new cross-border e-commerce model. Improve the comprehensive service level of "cross-border e-commerce+industrial belt", increase the cultivation and supply of compound talents, provide a good development environment for business entities, and accelerate the cultivation of benchmark industrial belts.

A woman’s hips are big, so it’s easy to have children?

Original Zhimei Tencent Medical Code, she knows 

In daily life, I sometimes hear the saying that "a big ass is easy to bear."

This statement not only disrespects women, but also lacks scientific basis.

The so-called "good childbirth" usually means easy delivery, and one of the key factors affecting delivery is the size of the bone birth canal (the birth canal formed by the pelvic cavity).

During pregnancy, the size of the pelvis will not change much, but under the action of hormones such as relaxin, the ligament will relax and the pubic symphysis will be widened by 4-6 mm, so that the fetus can pass [1].

(Source: Hong Kong, China Department of Health)

If the pelvis is too small, or the shape does not match the fetal head, it may affect the fetus passing through the pelvis and cause dystocia [1,2].

If the pelvis size is normal, but the fetus is too large, making the pelvis relatively narrow, it may also cause dystocia [1,2].

But a big ass doesn’t mean a big pelvis.

Under normal circumstances, the pelvic shape can’t be observed by naked eyes. Generally, a professional pelvic evaluation is conducted by a doctor during the prenatal examination.

The doctor will check and measure the size of the pelvic entrance, middle and exit, and then compare it with the size of the fetal head to see if there is pelvic stenosis or mismatch [1].

If the buttocks are fat, it will affect delivery.

During pregnancy, estrogen and progesterone levels will continue to rise, causing an increase in fat reserves.

Especially in thighs, abdomen, buttocks, breasts and other parts of the fat increase is more obvious.

At this time, if the weight is not strictly controlled, too much fat will accumulate in the abdomen and buttocks, which will not only help the delivery, but also hinder the delivery process [3,4].

In addition, if the weight gain during pregnancy is too fast and too large, it is easy to cause the fetus to be larger and difficult to pass through the birth canal, resulting in dystocia [1-4].

1. Regular check-ups are more reassuring.

Delivery is a big project. Besides the pelvis, the productivity, the size and position of the fetus and the age of the pregnant woman will all affect delivery.

Therefore, regular check-ups during pregnancy can help doctors evaluate and make reasonable suggestions in time.

2. Don’t eat too much

Too fast weight gain during pregnancy will not only make the fetus too big, but also cause dystocia.

It will also increase the risks of gestational diabetes, pregnancy-induced hypertension and proteinuria.

It is also easy to separate rectus abdominis, and it is more difficult to return to normal weight after delivery [5,6].

Therefore, it is recommended that you consult a doctor or a clinical dietitian during the prenatal examination, and gain weight reasonably under the guidance of a doctor according to different body mass indexes before pregnancy.

3. Exercise is the most cost-effective "maintenance"

If pregnant women are healthy and have no pregnancy complications (such as threatened abortion, pre-eclampsia, cardiovascular diseases, placenta previa, etc.), 150 minutes of moderate and low-intensity aerobic exercise (such as walking and resistance training) per week is safe and has many benefits [7].

For example, it can control excessive weight gain, prevent gestational diabetes, enhance muscle strength, reduce low back pain and edema, improve the mood and sleep of pregnant women, and enhance their physical strength to prepare for production.

If there is no physical discomfort, it is recommended that pregnant women exercise at least five times a week for 30 minutes each time [8].

Sisters who have no exercise habits before can try low-intensity exercise, such as walking, brisk walking and cycling.

If you have exercise habits at ordinary times, you can try moderate-intensity sports.

For example, jogging, aerobics, swimming, dancing, pilates, etc., and appropriately reduce the number after the number of weeks of pregnancy increases, according to the doctor’s advice.

Of course, strong abdominal muscles, pelvic floor muscles, etc. can not be practiced for a while, and the improvement of muscle strength depends on long-term persistence.

So sisters can exercise before they get pregnant and stick to it!

4. Encouragement from family and friends is especially important.

In addition to various objective conditions, there is also a great influence on natural delivery, that is, the mental and psychological state of the parturient.

Excessive anxiety, fear and tension may make pregnant women have uterine atony and prolong the labor process;

Fetal distress may also occur, which brings danger to the mother and baby [9,10].

Therefore, psychological construction during pregnancy is also crucial.

A good way to reduce fear is to understand the knowledge related to childbirth [11], such as hospital propaganda videos and brochures are good sources of knowledge.

Besides relying on the efforts of the parturient, encouragement and support from society, family, friends and medical staff are also very important [11,12], even more important.

Therefore, if your lover is pregnant, I hope you can learn more about it, understand her hardships, and give support and companionship.

Finally, there are many factors that affect delivery, and expectant mothers who are preparing for pregnancy really don’t have to worry about some accidental statement.

Regular check-ups, trusting doctors and nurses, and making adequate preparations will surely usher in that lovely baby happily!

People’s Daily Online: Anhui is not soft in dealing with property chaos!

"The elevator is broken, and it has not been repaired for almost a week."

"The unit door is in name only, and outsiders come in and out casually, and the door is covered with psoriasis."

"The sanitary conditions in the community are poor, and garbage is often everywhere, and dirty water is flowing."

"Electric vehicles can be charged by flying wire at will, which is a big safety hazard"

……

In daily life, many people have encountered similar situations in the community. Because of inaction and poor service quality, property is often the object of residents’ spit.

"Small property" affects "great people’s livelihood". In May this year, Anhui deployed and carried out the action of "major investigation, major rectification and major promotion" of property management services throughout the province to comprehensively improve the level of property management services.

Half a year has passed since the "Action". What achievements have been made? What other aspects need further improvement? Recently, People’s Daily reporters visited Hefei, Wuhu and other places in Anhui Province according to the clues provided by netizens.

Dilemma of property disputes

Combing netizens’ messages, we can find that residents are dissatisfied with the property, mostly because of the poor quality of property services, and many "troubles" that plague the masses have not been solved in time and effectively. Faced with the problems reflected by residents, there are problems such as inaction and chaos in the property.

The phenomenon of inaction is more prominent. With the passage of time, many residential areas have problems in roads, walls and water systems. Property companies either turn a blind eye to the problems reflected by residents or delay them.

"Before the renovation of the community, the internal roads were ruined and garbage piled up. We have reflected many times that the previous properties were indifferent." Pan Liying, a resident of Aoyun Kangcheng Community in Nanrui Street, yijiang district, told reporters that she has lived in the community for many years and watched the environment of the community get worse and worse. When talking about the last property company that has been retired, Pan Liying bluntly said that it was "a headache".

In addition to inaction, there are also some property companies that act indiscriminately. In Danqing Garden Community, Heyedi Street, Shushan District, Hefei City, the problem of "difficult parking" for non-motor vehicles is more prominent. "We reflected it to the property six months ago, hoping to plan the electric car parking area reasonably. I didn’t expect the property to arrange several security guards to set up cement on the green space, even if it was a job. " Ms. Zhang, a resident of 6 buildings in the community, was very angry when she talked about the practice of property.

"The gap between the original green land and the road surface is tens of centimeters. If the land is uneven, it will be directly paved with cement. The slope is very large, and it is still inconvenient to park. The parking problem has not been solved, and the current practice will also lead to water on rainy days. " Ms. Zhang said that the environment of the community is getting worse and worse under the current property management. "The last industry Committee of the community expired in May 2020. In recent years, without the supervision of the industry Committee, the property has gone its own way."

"The original community pond is very clear, and there are many koi fish. Now it has been dry for many years, and the stones are bare and dilapidated. Reflected to the property many times, without any progress. The elevator is also often broken and people are often trapped. " Ms. Zhang said.

"The property service company of Danqing Garden Community is Hefei Ronglin Property Management Co., Ltd.. In September this year, it was just notified and punished by the Hefei Housing and Construction Department. However, our community still has outstanding problems and there is no improvement. " Mr. Li, the owner of the community, said.

When reporters visited Hefei, Wuhu and other places, they found that in the face of the opinions of community owners, property companies claimed that they also had difficulties. Property managers in several communities said that the "difficulty in collecting property fees" is a major problem facing the property.

"The daily maintenance of the community requires funds and the charging rate is low, which has an impact on the operation of the property company itself." According to the person in charge of the property class of the Housing and Construction Department of Anhui Province, the poor level of property services leads to residents’ reluctance to pay property fees, and the low rate of property charges leads to a further decline in the level of property services, thus falling into a vicious circle.

How to break the game?

The pavement of the residential area is seriously damaged, the elevators are often damaged, and the electric cars are parked and put in disorder … At the beginning of 2022, the Aoyun Kangcheng residential area in Nanrui Street, yijiang district was in deep trouble.

"After more than a year of rectification, now the lights in our community are on, the elevators are good, and the roads are newly built. The environment is really different." Zhang Yijia, a resident of the community, bluntly said that now he is walking in the community and his mood has become comfortable.

The butterfly change of Aoyun Kangcheng Community is the epitome of the great improvement of the environment in many communities in Wuhu City. In view of the residential property problem, Wuhu City is at the forefront in Anhui Province. Over the past year or so, focusing on the residential property problem, a "key trivial matter" that people feel every day, Wuhu City has carried out a major investigation, rectification and promotion of residential property management services throughout the city.

Since the beginning of 2022, the main responsible comrades of Wuhu Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have conducted in-depth research on residential property management services for many times, and solved the problem with inward determination;

Adhere to the problem-oriented, whether the property rectification is effective or not, whether the residential environment is improving, should take the people’s satisfaction as the standard, and whether the property rectification is effective or not should be decided by the residents of the residential area;

The introduction of measures such as "Guiding Opinions on Assessment and Evaluation of Property Service Quality in Wuhu Residential Quarters" has made the "flat" property "unable to lie down" in Wuhu …

Wuhu City has promoted a series of solid measures and achieved outstanding results. On May 19th, the deployment meeting of Anhui Province’s residential property management service promotion and the construction promotion meeting of "Wanmei Red Property" were held in Wuhu. At the meeting, Wuhu made an exchange speech as a typical representative.

At present, the Housing and Construction Department of Anhui Province has launched a package of effective measures after careful investigation and summing up the advanced experience of various places.

The first is to strengthen "one lead" and build a red property position. Adhere to the guidance of party building and carry out the three-year action of "Red Property in Anhui and the United States". The province has established 14,500 party organizations in residential quarters, with a formation rate of 98%, and basically established a coordinated operation mechanism of community party branches, industry committees and property enterprises under the leadership of community party organizations. Adhere to collaborative linkage, public security, fire protection, market supervision, housing construction and other departments perform their duties, while communities, property companies and industry committees perform their duties, solve residents’ troubles through consultation, and realize the participation, supervision and final say of the people in the community.

The other is to build a "platform" and smooth the channels for the masses to appeal. Open the "1+16+N" and "Talking about Property" message platform in provinces, cities and counties. Establish a mechanism of "quick acceptance, quick verification, quick disposal, quick rectification, quick report and quick return visit" for problem suggestions. Since its opening on August 25th, more than 7,800 complaints and consultations have been accepted and more than 7,500 have been settled.

The other is to carry out "one attack" and create a strong rectification atmosphere. A few days ago, at the third review meeting of the province’s property management service promotion action, the person in charge of the Housing and Construction Department of Anhui Province said that the property management service promotion action has entered a stage of concentrated attack. From now until the Spring Festival, Anhui Province will launch a "100-day attack action" to solve the outstanding problems in eight aspects, such as "parking management of residential vehicles, elevator safety improvement, fire safety issues, and resolution of property conflicts and disputes", so as to effectively improve the level of property management services and build a number of "property management services" throughout the province.

It is also very important to improve the "one system" for the governance of common problems.

"We have established a" red and black list "system for property enterprises, and strengthened the incentive of trustworthiness and the punishment of dishonesty. Conduct a property service review every half month, fully cover the property service quality evaluation and work evaluation, praise the cities with obvious work results, and report the lagging work. " The relevant person in charge of the property class of the Housing and Construction Department of Anhui Province introduced that at present, 1,012 problem property companies have been interviewed, 339 have been punished and 239 have been retired.

By the end of October, Anhui had resolved 81,000 property conflicts and disputes, and the satisfaction rate of the masses increased by 15 percentage points. Relevant practices were promoted by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development.

make persistent efforts

As many as 81,000 contradictions and disputes have been resolved, on the one hand, it shows that relevant work has achieved outstanding results. From another aspect, it also shows that the contradiction behind property management is still very prominent.

How to make the community public benefits become "clear accounts"? How to improve the exit mechanism of property companies and solve the difficulty of replacing property companies? How to solve the problems of high application threshold and poor use of residential special maintenance funds? How to improve industry credit management and long-term supervision mechanism? A series of problems still need to be tackled.

"It is not limited to the development of a few short-term actions. It took three years to build the’ Red Property in Anhui and the United States’ at the provincial level, which fully demonstrated our confidence and determination to focus on tackling key problems and work hard for a long time to promote the’ double improvement’ of property service level and mass satisfaction." The person in charge of the relevant departments of the Housing and Construction Department of Anhui Province said that to resolve property conflicts and disputes, on the one hand, government departments need to strengthen the publicity of relevant laws and regulations and property management knowledge, so that property companies and owners can know their due responsibilities and obligations; On the other hand, it needs the joint efforts of relevant government departments, communities, property enterprises and owners to jointly manage, build and govern, and work together to solve the property management problems.

"Property service management is not only a’ key small matter’ around the masses, but also a’ livelihood event’." The relevant person in charge of the Housing and Construction Department of Anhui Province said that the next step will be to solve the problem and take more effective measures to continuously improve the people’s sense of acquisition and satisfaction.
