||| After the ban on Indonesian palm oil export, the price of Malaysian palm oil will definitely rise sharply. In this case, only when the price of palm oil in China rises synchronously can the import of enterprises be stimulated to ensure the market supply.

In fact, the import cost of palm oil in China is upside down, and the price of palm oil has surpassed that of soybean oil. It is rare in history that there has been such a long-term deep upside down. This year, because the price of palm oil has risen too fast and too high, soybean oil has replaced palm oil.

3 || From the price point of view, due to the high external dependence of vegetable oil in China, palm oil is 100% and soybean is 85%, the higher external market price will increase the cost of oil arrival in Hong Kong, thus raising the domestic vegetable oil price, and the short-term vegetable oil price will still be strong.

As the world’s leading producer and exporter of palm oil, Indonesia has recently suffered from the crisis of edible oil shortage.

On April 22nd, local time, Indonesian President Joko announced that the export of palm oil and related raw materials would be suspended from April 28th. In fact, 60% of the world’s palm oil is produced in Indonesia, but recently, the supply of edible palm oil has been insufficient and the price has risen in many places in Indonesia. It is reported that this move is to cope with the shortage of palm oil supply in Indonesia and prevent the price from continuing to rise.

Indonesia’s "oil ban" immediately triggered a huge earthquake in the global edible oil market, and the international oil price rose sharply. The price of soybean oil futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CBOT) soared to a record high of 83.21 cents, which drove the prices of the three major domestic oils to a record high. The data shows that since the beginning of this year, the international prices of soybean oil and palm oil have increased by nearly 50% and 40% respectively.

For China, whose palm oil supply is almost 100% dependent on imports, how much impact will the Indonesian oil ban have? Will the cooking oil crisis that is being staged in many countries be transmitted to China?

High dependence

High dependence In fact, almost all palm oil in China is imported, and it is highly dependent on Indonesian palm oil. At the same time, China is still the second largest palm oil importer and the third largest consumer in the world.

Palm oil is widely used in food industry and chemical industry, especially in instant noodles, puffed food, pastry and other processed foods. It is the second largest vegetable oil consumption in China after soybean oil. In 2019, China’s palm oil consumption exceeded 6.4 million tons, of which 60% came from Indonesia and 30% came from Malaysia. These two countries are also the largest palm oil producers in the world.

YiBo, a researcher of Founder Mid-term Futures, told the Economic Observer that after the ban on palm oil export in Indonesia, the demanding countries will have to turn to Malaysia, Argentina and other major vegetable oil exporters. However, due to the difficulty of other countries to make up for the reduction in Indonesia’s vegetable oil export, the effective supply in the market will be reduced, which will make the global vegetable oil supply tight, and suppliers may have a certain reluctance to sell and wait for growth, which will lead to the increase in the prices of palm oil and alternative oils. "China’s external dependence on palm oil is 100%, and soybean’s external dependence is over 85%. The increase in the price of oil and fat in the international market will increase the cost of oil and fat in China, which will lead to the increase in the price of palm oil and edible oil in China."

Zhou Shiyong, president of Beijing Heyirong Investment Group Co., Ltd. (referred to as Heyirong Group), bluntly said in an interview with the reporter of Economic Observer Network, "As an enterprise with an annual sales volume of 1 million tons of palm oil, the price fluctuation of palm oil has a great impact on the company. Domestic palm oil use has declined. "

It is reported that Heyirong Group is a diversified comprehensive group with investment, production and sales of bulk edible oil as the leading industry. Its products are mainly palm oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil and cotton oil, and its Yizheng Fangshun Grain and Oil Industry Co., Ltd. became the designated delivery warehouse of palm oil in Dashang in 2007.

Zhou Shiyong believes that the ban on Indonesian palm oil exports will definitely lead to a sharp rise in Malaysian palm oil prices. In this case, only the simultaneous increase in China palm oil prices can stimulate enterprises to import and ensure market supply.

It is understood that since November last year, many palm oil producers in Indonesia have increased their exports in order to obtain higher profits, but this has also led to insufficient domestic supply in Indonesia. In January this year, the Indonesian government has restricted some export activities and provided cash subsidies to low-income groups. However, these measures have not effectively alleviated the supply shortage, and the price of palm oil is still rising. At present, the average retail price of edible palm oil in Indonesia is 26,000 Indonesian rupees per liter, which is about RMB 12 yuan, with an increase of over 40% during the year.

It is reported that in Indonesia, palm oil is the main local edible oil variety, while the export products are more widely used, including food processing, chemicals and biofuels.

Will Indonesia palm oil ban be implemented for a long time?

YiBo believes that this policy will not be implemented for a long time for the following reasons: First, Indonesia’s palm oil production is far greater than its demand. In 2021, Indonesia’s palm oil production is 33.67 million tons, far greater than its demand of 15.28 million tons, and it has palm oil export demand. Second, Indonesia’s DOM policy on palm oil and coal export ban policy were implemented in a short time, and export policies were changed frequently. Third, palm oil is one of Indonesia’s major export products. Therefore, to sum up, Indonesia will resume its export once again after the domestic edible oil price falls effectively. It is only speculated that tariffs may continue to be raised from the perspective of curbing domestic vegetable oil prices.

Zhou Shiyong also believes that Indonesia’s palm oil export ban will not be implemented for a long time. "Indonesia’s palm oil tank capacity is limited. If it is not exported for a month or two, the tank will be full." Zhou Shiyong believes that the main purpose of Indonesia’s ban is to increase domestic inventory supply and suppress domestic oil prices.

Meyer of Platts Energy said, "In view of Indonesia’s dependence on palm oil exports, a long-term ban may seriously damage Indonesia’s economy. In addition, this is not the first time that Indonesia has announced similar actions after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. This is only to quickly reverse the situation. " Meyer added that the ban scheduled to start on April 28 may eventually lead to an increase in export tariffs, but it will not lead to a complete closure of exports. In addition, Meyer also pointed out that there is no shortage of palm oil supply in Indonesia, and the supply of palm oil in 2021/2022 is actually higher than last year, and it is much higher than the historical level.

price distortions

In fact, the import cost of palm oil in China is upside down, and the price of palm oil has surpassed that of soybean oil. It is rare in history to have such a long-term deep upside down. Judging from the domestic futures market, as of press time, the main contract of soybean oil was 11,306 yuan/ton, and the main contract of palm oil was 11,560 yuan/ton.

Zhou Shiyong told reporters that palm oil is usually cheaper than other vegetable oils, and it is often used to replace other oils, and there are few cases where other oils replace palm oil. However, because the price of palm oil has risen too fast and too high this year, soybean oil has replaced palm oil. "In other words, the use of palm oil has fallen sharply, and domestic industrial enterprises that are basically just needed are still using it." Zhou Shiyong said.

Zhou Shiyong said that the price of palm oil is already at an all-time high, which has a great impact on production and operation enterprises. Especially the impact on the domestic food industry is very obvious. "Palm oil is an important raw material. For food production enterprises, there is a big problem in cost control."

The reporter noticed that the rising prices of raw materials such as palm oil have been transmitted to the middle and lower reaches. Since the beginning of this year, instant noodle giants including Master Kong and Uni-President have raised prices. Guotai Junan once pointed out in the research report that as of February 14, 2022, the price of palm oil increased by 44.6% year-on-year. It is expected that the adverse impact of changes in raw material prices on Master Kong will last at least until the second half of 2022.

According to Zhou Shiyong, due to the rising prices of edible oil and flour, the operating rate of small and medium-sized food enterprises has been very low this year, and small and medium-sized enterprises are basically in a state of semi-suspension.

After the historical high of palm oil, oil operators are also more cautious, basically keeping a small inventory in turnover. At the same time, the epidemic has also restricted the consumption side, and oil operators generally hold a wait-and-see mentality.

"Our current palm oil sales are mainly to protect our just-needed customers, because the import price is very serious now, about 1000 yuan/ton, and importers can’t import it, because imports are facing losses. In this case, they can only import in small batches according to the needs of downstream just-needed customers, and it is difficult to have large-scale and continuous purchases as before." Zhou Shiyong said.

So, who is the driving force behind the historical high price of palm oil?

"The supply of palm oil in food has decreased, leading to high prices." In Zhou Shiyong’s view, first, the supply of major producing areas in Indonesia and Malaysia has declined. In the past two years, under the influence of the COVID-19 epidemic, the shortage of labor in the main producing areas and the untimely harvest of palm fruit led to a decline in output; At the same time, due to the reduction of fertilization and watering during the epidemic, the yield also declined. Second, in 2019, the Indonesian government launched the B30 plan for biodiesel, stipulating that 30% of palm oil biofuels must be blended into diesel, which increased the amount of palm oil converted into biodiesel.

Edible oil crisis

It is worth noting that the data released by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations on April 8 showed that the vegetable oil price index increased by 23.2% in March. Affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, extreme climate and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the international edible oil price has soared, and many countries, including Britain and Germany, even have a shortage of edible oil, and many places are experiencing an edible oil crisis.

The reporter learned from many interviews that the formation of the edible oil crisis is mainly affected by four factors.

First, La Nina phenomenon has led to a sharp reduction in both Canadian rapeseed and soybean production in South America, and the global inventory consumption ratio of oilseeds is in a historically low region. Second, the shortage of labor supply in Malaysia has led to a slow recovery of horse palm production. Third, the geopolitical conflict between Russia and Ukraine has greatly hindered the export of vegetable oil in the Black Sea region. The export volume of vegetable oil in the Black Sea region, including sunflower oil and rapeseed oil, is about 1.2 million tons per month, which has aggravated the global shortage of vegetable oil. It is reported that Ukraine and Russia supply 80% of the world’s sunflower oil exports, while due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Ukraine reduced its sunflower oil exports by 95%, while Russia began to export sunflower oil on April 15th.

In addition, under the background of rising crude oil prices, the profit of biodiesel has improved, and the dispute between edible oil and renewable fuels has also become one of the driving forces for the rise of edible oil prices. Since the beginning of this year, the price of crude oil once exceeded $100/barrel. Palm oil is the best main raw material for biodiesel, and its price is also positively correlated with the price of crude oil. If the price of crude oil rises, the usage of biodiesel will increase, thus increasing the industrial demand of palm oil.

Compared with the violent fluctuation of global edible oil price, the domestic edible oil market has the characteristics of less price fluctuation due to the adjustment of the price (soybean oil) and dumping. According to the data from the National Bureau of Statistics, the price of edible oil in China rose by 6.9% in 2021, far lower than the 65.8% increase of global edible oil. In 2022, although the domestic edible oil price has been rising for several weeks, the overall range is not large.

Will the overseas cooking oil crisis be transmitted to China?

"High overseas prices will definitely be transmitted." According to Zhou Shiyong, judging from the three major consumption oils in China, rapeseed oil and palm oil have increased obviously, while soybean oil has also increased passively. In the case of a general increase in overseas edible oil, there is bound to be a cost-driven increase.

YiBo also believes that from the price point of view, due to the high external dependence of vegetable oil in China, the external dependence of palm oil is 100% and that of soybean is 85%, the higher price in the external market will increase the cost of oil arriving in Hong Kong, thus raising the domestic vegetable oil price, and the short-term vegetable oil price will still be strong.

However, in terms of supply, YiBo said that from April to June, 2022, China’s soybean arrived in Hong Kong with an average of more than 8 million tons per month, and the national reserves were intermittently dumped, which was relatively sufficient in the short term, and in the medium and long term, Indonesia’s export ban would not be implemented for a long time. Once Indonesia’s palm oil exports returned to normal and palm oil itself entered a production increase cycle, the tight supply pattern of vegetable oil would gradually ease, and the price would be expected to fall back at a high level.

The cumulative vaccination of Covid-19 in Guangdong Province exceeded 100 million doses! By 18: 00 on June 20, the province had inoculated 101,124,300 doses and 66,744,600 people. A total of 35,721,700 people had completed the whole vaccination, and the coverage rate of the whole population was 28.35%.

Large-scale vaccination of Covid-19 vaccine is an important means to build a population immune barrier and prevent and control the COVID-19 epidemic. Since the prevention and control of the normalized epidemic situation, Guangdong has always placed large-scale Covid-19 vaccination in an important position, and listed it as "I do practical things for the masses", requiring local party and government leaders to personally grasp it, continuously improve the vaccination capacity, optimize the vaccination environment, and fully promote large-scale population vaccination.

In order to promote mass vaccination in an orderly manner, Guangdong has implemented the vaccination strategy of "differentiating steps and rotating sectors", and divided the whole province into three categories according to factors such as port cities, guarantee of major events, and risk of foreign defense input, giving priority to promoting mass vaccination in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan and Dongguan in the early stage. Driven by this strategy, Zhuhai took the lead in becoming the first prefecture-level city in China with a target population coverage rate of over 80% on April 20th. On May 10th, the vaccination rates of the target population aged 18 -59 in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Foshan and Dongguan all reached 40%.

At present, with the increase of vaccine supply, Guangdong has further accurately matched supply and demand according to the progress of daily vaccination work in various cities, and rapidly promoted vaccination work in the province, which not only ensures that key areas and high-exposure people are protected for the first time, but also ensures that the people in the province enjoy vaccination services in a balanced way, thus improving the overall benefit of vaccination.

Inoculation capacity building is the basic condition to promote mass vaccination. Guangdong scientifically and rationally plans to add fixed vaccination clinics, and select stadiums and exhibition centers with convenient transportation and relatively concentrated population to set up large temporary vaccination points. Some cities have set up mobile vaccination vehicles to enter communities, factories and schools to provide convenient services for the masses. The number of vaccination sites in Covid-19 has increased from 2,522 (7,583 vaccination units) on March 24th to 3,279 (15,643 vaccination units), and the daily vaccination service capacity has increased from 1.5 million doses to over 3.1 million doses. On April 27th, Guangdong was inoculated with 1,234,800 doses of COVID-19 vaccine on the same day, becoming the first province in China with a single-day inoculation amount exceeding one million. On June 7th, Covid-19, Guangdong Province, the daily vaccination amount exceeded 2.96 million doses, setting a record for the highest daily vaccination amount.

On this basis, vaccination in Guangdong has been accelerating. The first 10 million doses took 108 days; The second 10 million doses took 26 days; The third 10 million doses took 13 days; The fourth 10 million doses took 9 days; The fifth 10 million doses took 7 days; The sixth 10 million doses took 6 days; The seventh and eighth 10 million doses took 4 days; It took five days to inoculate the ninth and tenth 10 million doses.

The rapid progress of mass vaccination in Guangdong can not be separated from the strong support of vaccine distribution, medical security and information security. Guangdong has established a working system of "24-hour duty, informing the distribution plan in advance, and preparing the vaccine as soon as it comes" to improve the efficiency of vaccine circulation. The establishment of Covid-19 suspected vaccination medical treatment expert group and investigation and diagnosis expert group; Establish and improve multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment mechanism, high-level hospital partition package mechanism and three-level linkage consultation mechanism; Fully implement the "four haves" work requirements of having emergency medical staff on duty at the vaccination site, equipped with emergency facilities and equipment, 120 ambulances to transport patients, and a green channel for first aid in a general hospital above the second level, so as to provide medical support for mass vaccination. Continuously upgrade and optimize the "Guangdong Jiantong" applet and Guangdong Miao APP, provide pre-appointment vaccination service for mainland residents, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan compatriots and foreigners, set up the second vaccination reminder function, and simultaneously generate personal electronic vaccination vouchers to enhance the user experience.

It is estimated that by the end of June, more than 40% of the permanent residents in Guangdong will complete the whole immunization. In the second half of the year, Guangdong will further speed up the vaccination of people over the age of 18, promote the vaccination of people over the age of 60 in an orderly manner, and strive to build a population immune barrier before the end of the year.

Inactivated vaccine needs to be inoculated twice in the whole process to achieve better immune effect. It is suggested that citizens who have completed the first dose for 21 days should make an appointment for the second dose as soon as possible and complete the whole vaccination within 8 weeks.

　　Core reading

　　From July 1st, Hainan’s duty-free shopping policy for outlying islands ushered in a major adjustment. In addition to increasing the duty-free shopping quota for outlying island passengers to 100,000 yuan per person per year, and canceling the duty-free quota of 8,000 yuan for a single product, the number of products restricted by a single purchase has also been greatly reduced.

　　The adjustment of the new policy will fully release the policy dividend of Hainan as the first free trade port in China. In addition, around the tourist experience, Hainan will further improve the consumption and tourism market, and constantly explore for building an international tourism consumption center.

　　On July 1st, the new policy of duty-free shopping in Hainan’s outlying islands was officially implemented on the occasion of the full moon of the promulgation of the Overall Plan for the Construction of Hainan Free Trade Port. This adjustment is regarded as the biggest adjustment since the implementation of this policy, whether it is the substantial increase in the amount of duty-free shopping, the cancellation of the restrictions on the number of times of shopping, the restrictions on the amount of duty-free items for single items, and the substantial reduction in the types of goods limited by the number of purchases at one time.

　　What new changes can the adjustment of duty-free shopping policy on outlying islands bring to Hainan tourism? At the moment when Hainan is building a free trade port, the tax exemption policy for outlying islands has been implemented for nearly 10 years. What new opportunities can it bring to the construction of an international tourism consumption center? The reporter conducted an interview.

　　Small excitement: If it is inconvenient to go abroad, I will come to buy buy to buy it.

　　For some people who like shopping abroad, it is inconvenient to go abroad during the epidemic prevention and control period, so shopping in Hainan has become the first choice.

　　Xiao Meng, a citizen of Guangzhou, flew to Haikou in the early morning of July 1, which was aimed at the newly adjusted duty-free shopping policy for outlying islands.

　　In the duty-free shop located in Haikou Riyue Square, a high-end watch with a price of 17,000 yuan needs to be taxed at a rate of 50% for the part that exceeded the limit of 8,000 yuan. "Under the new policy, you can buy it for 17,000 yuan, saving more than 4,000 yuan, and the ticket money from Guangzhou to Haikou is earned back." Xiao Meng said happily.

　　At 14: 00 on July 1, the reporter went to the duty-free shop in Riyue Square, Haikou. Despite the hot weather, the citizens and tourists who came to shop were enthusiastic. The most lively counters are electronic goods counters such as mobile phones and tablet computers. A staff member of a popular brand counter told the reporter that due to the fear of a rush to buy today, the store specially put a reminder on the counter that "mobile phone products are limited to one per person at a time" when stocking.

　　"The annual shopping quota per person has been raised from 30,000 yuan to 100,000 yuan, and the restrictions on shopping times have been relaxed. This policy adjustment will undoubtedly make the market a little excited." Cao Ying, director of the Supervision Department of Hainan Free Trade Office, said.

　　In fact, such a little excitement has already appeared at the beginning of this year. On February 20th, duty-free shops in Hainan resumed business. The next day, the e-commerce sales of Sanya International Duty Free City reached 44.28 million yuan, setting a record for one-day e-commerce sales. In May, sales of duty-free goods in Hainan reached 1.977 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 147.9%.

　　"Adjusting the duty-free shopping policy for outlying islands can promote the quality and efficiency of Hainan’s tourism, from eating, living and traveling to shopping and entertainment, and attract consumption abroad to return." Liu Feng, director of China Characteristic Free Trade Port Research Center of Hainan Normal University, analyzed.

　　Intensity: the tax-free limit of 8000 yuan for a single commodity is cancelled.

　　In addition to the annual duty-free shopping quota of 100,000 yuan, the most striking of the relaxation measures is the cancellation of the duty-free quota of 8,000 yuan for a single commodity.

　　Statistics show that the number of shoppers in Hainan’s tax-free year increased from 483,600 in 2011 to 3.84 million in 2019, and the annual sales increased steadily from 986 million yuan in 2011 to 13.6 billion yuan in 2019. In 2019, the number and amount of duty-free goods sold in Hainan Island reached record highs, with year-on-year growth exceeding 30%. Hainan’s foreign trade import and export was 90.59 billion yuan, up 6.8% year-on-year, and consumer goods became the number one imported commodity in Hainan.

　　"For tourists to Sanya, 7 out of 10 people will go to Sanya International Duty Free City ‘ Punch in ’ 。” Su Yi, deputy general manager of Sanya Duty Free Shop, China Duty Free Goods (Group) Co., Ltd., said that this ratio fully shows that duty-free shopping on outlying islands has boosted tourism. As the only company franchising duty-free shopping on outlying islands, China Free Group ranks fourth in the global industry from 12th seven years ago.

　　However, if we compare Japan and South Korea, there is still a clear gap in Hainan. According to the data, in 2019, the duty-free consumption of Korean tourists to China was as high as 105.8 billion yuan, of which the consumption of ordinary tourists was 37 billion yuan. "The sales of Hainan Island tax exemption of more than 10 billion yuan a year is actually not high." Su Yi believes that the attraction of duty-free shopping on outlying islands to most tourists has not yet reached "coming to Hainan for the purpose of duty-free shopping".

　　Liu Feng suggested that we can increase the number of duty-free shopping spots in urban areas and use information technology to achieve flexible and effective control, from the current "management of people and goods" to "management of people regardless of goods" and "supervision in advance" to "supervision after the event" to provide a more convenient and humanized shopping experience.

　　According to Cao Ying, at present, Hainan is striving to introduce cross-border e-commerce as the first step, and gradually expand from online shopping to offline stores. At present, cross-border e-commerce can operate more than 1,000 kinds of goods, which basically cover the daily needs of residents.

　　Make up the shortcomings: tourism supporting facilities still need to be improved

　　Faced with the problems that some domestic tourists have reflected that Hainan’s tourism experience is not cost-effective, and prices and accommodation consumption experience need to be improved, Liu Feng believes that "in terms of consumption environment, there is still a big gap between Hainan and some developed tourist areas. But this is a systematic project, and Hainan is stepping up its efforts to make up for shortcomings. "

　　"In the past, many tourists complained about Sanya Hotel’s ‘ High-priced room ’ . In fact, chain brand hotels adopt a global unified pricing strategy. Compared with Southeast Asia, our overall house prices are not much different, mainly because our high comprehensive prices lead to higher travel expenses, and seasonal changes are obvious, and prices change greatly. " Tang Sixi, researcher of Sanya Tourism Bureau, said.

　　In Liu Feng’s view, the adjustment of duty-free shopping policy on outlying islands is only a breakthrough to promote Hainan to build an international tourism consumption center. "Whether the international tourism consumption center can be built depends on how Hainan’s own business environment and tourism consumption environment are built."

　　At present, the Haikou International Duty Free City project with a total investment of more than 10 billion yuan is being accelerated. After completion, the total area is 200,000 square meters, which is three times that of Sanya International Duty Free City. It is a landmark project of Hainan International Tourism Consumption Center.

　　Zhou Ting, president of VIP Research Institute, believes that the implementation of tax exemption policy for outlying islands is very important for the construction of Hainan International Tourism Island. As the first free trade port in China, Hainan can try to open up to a greater extent and form a high-quality consumer goods market to attract tourists to spend in Hainan. At the same time, all kinds of entertainment and leisure activities and services on the island should be fully developed in order to truly become an international tourism consumption center.

First, focus on key points and go all out to ensure stable production and production. In view of the related drugs mentioned in the novel coronavirus Diagnosis and Treatment Plan (Ninth Edition) and the Guidelines for Intervention of Covid-19 Infected Persons with Traditional Chinese Medicine at Home, we have further increased the protection of production factors for these production enterprises, and included relevant production enterprises and key supporting enterprises in the white list management to ensure stable and orderly production and supply.

Second, take multiple measures to accelerate the expansion of key enterprises. Help enterprises to work out the plan of increasing production and expanding capacity by "one medicine and one policy", and find ways to tap the existing production capacity and further increase product output through technical transformation, new production lines and commissioned production.

The third is accurate delivery to ensure the drug demand of key populations. We guide relevant parties in all localities to formulate work plans, and give priority to ensuring the supply of drugs in key places such as medical institutions and nursing homes in accordance with the principle of giving priority to patients and accurate delivery. At the same time, large-scale online pharmacies are organized to develop online drug purchasing platforms for patients, and drugs can be distributed to patients in time through real-name authentication and uploading antigen testing certificates.

China’s pharmaceutical industry has a solid foundation. I believe that with the joint efforts of all parties, the production capacity of related drugs will be released soon, which can effectively protect the people’s drug demand.

Can common western medicine and Chinese patent medicine be eaten together to treat Covid-19 infection? Will it be better to eat several kinds of Chinese patent medicines together?

△ Liu Qingquan, Dean of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine

From our research and clinical observation, Chinese patent medicine and western medicine, such as antipyretic and analgesic drugs, can be used in combination. To be on the safe side, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine and western medicine should be eaten half an hour apart, which will be more safe. Traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine, especially traditional Chinese medicine for treating colds and western medicine for relieving fever and pain, can complement each other, and can solve the symptoms of fever, joint pain, fatigue, sore throat and cough of Covid-19 infected people quickly and permanently.

In recent decades, there have been Chinese and western medicine compound preparations made of Chinese medicine and western medicine in China, which are very good drugs for treating colds. In fact, these two drugs are taken together. We also checked the literature, and found no reports of adverse reactions between drugs for treating colds and antipyretic and analgesic drugs in traditional Chinese medicine. However, our advice is not to combine several drugs, including traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine, and not to think that the symptoms will be relieved in a few minutes, ten minutes or an hour after taking the medicine, which is not so fast. As a result of this combined use, there will be overlapping drug doses, which will have certain risks and the curative effect will not be improved. If the "Chinese patent medicine" we take contains ingredients that add western medicine to relieve fever and pain, we should pay attention to it when we use it in combination with other western medicines, otherwise there will be side effects after the drugs are superimposed.

Therefore, at present, generally speaking, the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine has a very good effect on quickly relieving the symptoms of the disease and making patients feel comfortable.

Public opinion reflects the shortage of medical resources and the difficulties for people to seek medical treatment in some places. How should we solve this problem?

△ Jiao Yahui, Director of the Department of Medical Administration of the National Health and Wellness Commission

In view of the prominent demand for diagnosis and treatment in fever clinics and the rapid growth, we have taken a series of measures.

First, further expand the supply of medical resources and medical services. We require all hospitals above the second level and primary medical and health institutions to open fever clinics or fever clinics, and we have been vigorously promoting this matter recently. According to statistics, as of 12: 00 on December 14th, there were more than 14,000 fever clinics in hospitals above the second level in China, and more than 33,000 fever clinics or consultation rooms were set up in primary medical and health institutions. While increasing the number of fever clinics or clinics, we also further simplify the process of fever clinics and improve service efficiency.

The second is to promote graded diagnosis and treatment. On the one hand, in cities, medical associations are used as carriers, and in rural areas, county medical associations are used as carriers to promote the graded diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 and other medical services. Let the urban and rural tertiary networks and medical institutions implement their respective functional positioning. Health monitoring is mainly implemented at the grassroots level, especially the health monitoring and health management of key populations; Secondary hospitals provide technical support in all aspects of technology and manpower to meet the needs of general diagnosis and treatment; Tertiary hospitals focus on meeting the needs of diagnosis and treatment of critically ill patients. Through graded diagnosis and treatment, build a reasonable and orderly medical order.

The third is to vigorously promote Internet medical services. Through Internet medical treatment, according to the diagnosis and treatment plan and the guide of home treatment, we will prescribe corresponding prescriptions for patients with COVID-19’s symptoms, and provide corresponding drugs through offline third-party distribution. At the same time, we also require medical institutions to provide 24-hour online consultation and medication guidance, as well as time-sharing appointment services. In this way, the instantaneous peak of medical institutions can be reduced, the gathering of people can be reduced, and the risk of cross-infection when people go to the hospital offline can be reduced.

Fourth, continuously optimize the process of fever clinic, general clinic and hospitalization. By optimizing the medical treatment process, it will provide greater convenience for the broad masses of people to go to medical institutions for medical treatment.

What is the docking mechanism between community and specialized medical institutions? How to ensure that the elderly and patients with chronic diseases get timely, effective and convenient medical services?

△ Gao Guangming, Deputy Director of the Medical Emergency Department of the National Health and Wellness Commission

In accordance with the principle of "health monitoring, classified management, up-and-down linkage and effective treatment", we scientifically coordinate regional medical resources and improve the efficiency and continuity of medical services. In the process of deepening medical reform, we have been actively promoting the construction of urban medical associations and county medical associations, and strengthening the communication, coordination and interaction of medical resources, which has been effective for many years. In the three-level medical service system, the upper and lower referral channels are unblocked. Therefore, the docking mechanism we are talking about has actually been established in the past.

After the implementation of the "new ten articles", patients with mild symptoms, asymptomatic and stable basic diseases are still recommended to be isolated at home and treated at home. Medical institutions can provide rehabilitation guidance and psychological support for family members through online and offline methods such as remote guidance and Internet medical care. For patients with severe illness and severe high-risk factors, they can go to designated hospitals for treatment. If the basic disease is serious and needs to be treated in general and specialized hospitals, you can contact the community health service institutions around you and help them to refer. When the situation is urgent, you can also go directly to the relevant medical institutions for treatment.

What is the population range of the second dose of Covid-19 vaccine? When will the vaccination begin?

△ Xia Gang, Director of the Department of Health and Immunity, National CDC

In order to better protect people’s health and life safety, according to the approval of vaccine research and development and emergency use, recently, the the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism has further adjusted and improved the vaccination strategy in Covid-19. People with high risk of infection, people over 60 years old, people with serious basic diseases and people with low immunity can be given the second dose of booster immunization six months after completing the first dose.

At present, all 13 vaccines approved for conditional marketing or emergency use can be used for the second dose of booster immunization, including 4 newly added vaccines for emergency use. Priority is given to sequential booster immunization, or vaccines containing Omicron strain or having good cross-immunity to Omicron strain. For details, you can pay attention to the relevant information released by official website.

We are guiding local organizations to carry out relevant work. Please pay attention to the relevant information released locally and carry out vaccination according to local specific work arrangements.

Recently, the epidemic data of COVID-19 released by the state showed a downward trend, but why is it inconsistent with the public perception? Why not publish information about asymptomatic infected people? How to monitor and report epidemic information in the next step?

△ Li Qun, Director of the Emergency Center of China CDC

Recently, the incidence data reported in various places have declined, which is inconsistent with the public’s perception. There are two main reasons:

On the one hand, after the adjustment and optimization of prevention and control measures, all parts of China no longer carry out full-time nucleic acid screening according to administrative regions. Except for key populations and key institutions, most people carry out nucleic acid testing in a "willing to do everything" way, so the total number and total number of nucleic acid screening in China have declined, and the data reported by medical institutions at all levels in various places have decreased accordingly.

On the other hand, asymptomatic infected people, mild cases, especially those with positive antigen self-test choose home treatment, and they no longer need to go to the hospital, so the relevant information of this group of people can not be included in the statistical data of medical institutions.

Regarding the second question, why did you cancel the announcement of asymptomatic infected people? After the implementation of the "willing to check and check" measure, it is difficult to accurately grasp the actual data of asymptomatic infected people because many asymptomatic infected people no longer participate in nucleic acid testing and no longer need to go to medical institutions for treatment. Therefore, starting from today, the data of asymptomatic infected people will no longer be published. However, for asymptomatic infected people who have been found, grassroots medical and health institutions continue to guide them to do a good job in home health monitoring, care for their health and provide corresponding services.

In the next step, we will continue to focus on the network direct report of China Disease Prevention and Control Information System, and require all kinds of medical institutions at all levels to do a good job in monitoring and reporting medical cases. At the same time, we will carry out various forms of monitoring, such as the corresponding monitoring with the influenza sentinel hospital monitoring system, and strengthen the monitoring of key institutions such as pension institutions, psychiatric hospitals, welfare institutions, schools and medical and health institutions. It is hoped that through monitoring, the scale, intensity and scope of the epidemic and the variation of the virus can be grasped in time, and the epidemic situation can be judged in time to provide scientific basis for formulating strategies and measures for epidemic prevention and control.

Ministry of National Defense answered a reporter’s question on Canadian hype "China fighter plane intercepts and reconnaissance plane"

Wu Qian: Recently, a CP-140 aircraft of the Canadian Air Force invaded the airspace of chiwei yu, China, approached the east coast of China and entered the Taiwan Province Strait to investigate the disturbance. According to China laws and relevant international rules, China Air Force implemented control measures such as verification and identification, tracking and surveillance, warning and eviction, and the disposal actions were completely reasonable, legal and professional.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Shijiazhuang, May 13th-Direct roll call, hit the nail on the head. Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group stationed in Hebei. From the opening of a report phone to an unannounced visit to the front line; From the inspector to the inspector, to the centralized feedback; From handing over the problem to taking out the rectification plan within a limited time … … A series of unusual "bright swords" have triggered waves of strong impacts in Hebei and spread to the whole country.

　　Thunder and sword pierce a batch of polluted pustules

　　Air pollution is prominent, and the air quality of many cities ranks in the bottom ten in the country all the year round; Nearly a quarter of the water bodies are inferior to Grade 5; Serious pollution and degradation of ecological function in rural areas … … With the heavy industrial structure and extensive development for many years, the "water, land and air" in Hebei, a capital city province, has been polluted three-dimensionally. The first pilot of the Central Environmental Protection Inspector was stationed in Hebei. According to the feedback on May 3rd, the reporter made a field visit.

　　↑ This is the sewer in Hutuo River, Xing ‘an Town, Gaocheng District, Shijiazhuang City, which was shot on April 27th. Xinhua News Agency reporter Yan Yushe

　　— — Hutuo River is the key river in Haihe River Basin, which flows through Shijiazhuang, Hengshui and other places. At the junction of Gaocheng and Wuji, the color of sewage in the river ditch is like ink, and the soil beside the ditch is dyed dark black, with an unusually pungent smell. A villager who is watering the land nearby said that sometimes the water pumped up is yellow flowers with green foam, which can drown the crops.

　　↑ This is Wu ‘an Yuhua Iron and Steel Company named by the feedback from the Central Environmental Protection Supervision Team (photo taken on May 10th). Xinhua News Agency reporter Wang Minshe

　　— — Wu ‘an, a major iron and steel town in southern Hebei Province, on the road leading to the urban area, large trucks entering and leaving the iron and steel plant filed in succession and were dusty. Yuhua iron and steel company, located near Chongyi village, is full of white smoke, and the factory is full of coils of wire rods. The surrounding villagers love and hate the steel mills. This company was directly named by the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group for violating regulations by building or continuing steel projects.

　　↑ This is Handan Xinxing Casting Pipe Company named by the feedback from the Central Environmental Protection Supervision Team (photo taken on May 10th). Xinhua News Agency reporter Wang Minshe

　　— — In addition to private enterprises, there are also state-owned Hegang Group Tangshan Iron and Steel Company and Handan Xinxing Cast Pipe Company. According to the reporter’s investigation, last year, Tangshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. undertook the task of reducing ironmaking capacity, and needed to tear down a large blast furnace and build a small blast furnace in a different place. During the inspection of the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group, the steel projects built in different places were not put on record and hit the "gun".

　　— — Four ferroalloy projects in Tangshan failed to complete capacity substitution and illegally added capacity. According to the reporter’s investigation, the three projects of Nickel Gold Industry, Dingxiang Manganese Industry and Ganyi Industry have been put on record and capacity replacement procedures, but they have not been really implemented. The 80,000-ton nickel-iron alloy project of Tengda Technology in Caofeidian Development Zone has neither been put on record nor capacity replacement.

　　The water quality of some rivers has deteriorated obviously, steel production capacity has been built illegally, projects have been approved illegally, the problem of "scattered pollution" has been concentrated, the pollution control of loose coal has been slow, the equivalent substitution of coal has been falsified, the quality control supervision of oil products has become a mere formality, the steel mills are still being eliminated, the sludge waste from tannery enterprises has been piled up for a long time, a large number of villas have been built in drinking water source protection areas, and the ecological damage caused by dust pollution from mining has been serious … …

　　After 36 days of unannounced visits, the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group assigned 31 batches of 2,856 environmental problems to Hebei, directly named 28 enterprises, and received nearly 10,000 words of feedback. The wording was harsh and outspoken, and the "pustules" of pollution were punctured one by one. Up to now, all the environmental problems assigned by the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group have been settled, and Hebei will also investigate and deal with 13,784 illegal projects identified by the environmental protection inspection in combination with the requirements of the inspectors for rectification.

　　Hit the nail on the head and hit the "focus" of severe carbuncle

　　The Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group pointed out that "the phenomenon of emphasizing development and neglecting protection is more common in some places". The reporter learned that many enterprises choose the latter because of the problems involved in pollution control, such as reducing production capacity, shutting down enterprises, resettling personnel and increasing investment in environmental protection.

　　Jiajing Glass Co., Ltd., located in Shahe City, Hebei Province, was named by the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group because of "inconsistent batch construction". The reporter learned that this company stopped production during the Spring Festival due to the unstable operation of environmental protection equipment. Li Zongkui, deputy general manager of Jiajing Glass Co., Ltd. said that the two glass production lines of the enterprise all used natural gas. Due to the increase in gas prices last year, the net loss per day was nearly 400,000 yuan, and the enterprise switched to burning heavy oil with lower cost, resulting in continuous emission data exceeding the standard.

　　"It turns out that pollution control is like slapping. This time, I feel that the knife is really on my neck." Li Zongkui said, "If environmental protection is not up to standard, it will die miserably." In order to resume production as soon as possible, the company newly invested 30.8 million yuan, and is currently upgrading its technology.

　　↑ The staff took samples from the sewage treatment tank of Hongsihai Leather Co., Ltd. in xinji city, Hebei Province (photo taken on May 10). Xinhua News Agency reporter Yan Yushe

　　Xinji city Hongsihai Leather Co., Ltd. was notified that hazardous waste was not treated in time. There is only one qualified chromium-containing sludge treatment enterprise in Hebei, which saves enough for one car and then transports it at a lower cost. There is also selfishness. After storing for a long time, the water evaporates, and the treatment fee can be twice as bad. "In the past, we thought we had made great efforts in environmental protection, but we were still named, which shocked us a lot." Zhu Xinyong, vice president of the company, said, "The leather production circle is very small, and being named has an impact on the company’s reputation. If enterprises do not eliminate pollution, pollution will eliminate enterprises. "

　　Shenzhou City was named for "the main leaders of the municipal government illegally interfered with the project approval". The main leaders of the Shenzhou Municipal Committee told reporters: "In the past, we thought that introducing big projects and good projects and promoting economic development meant benefiting the people. Now I deeply realize that the environment is people’s livelihood and it is a greater political achievement. "

　　During the reporter’s visit, some grassroots cadres said that in the past, environmental protection work was a "raw meal", and there was no hurry in the middle. Now it is from provinces, cities and counties to villages, and the pressure is only increasing. Now the county party secretary directly focuses on the rectification of an enterprise, which has become the normal state of grassroots environmental protection work.

　　Four egg tray factories in Huang Zhuang Village, Gaocheng District, Shijiazhuang were reported to the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group for pollution. Dai Shengjie, director of environmental protection in Jiumen Township, pointed to the empty factory building of Samsung Egg Tray Factory, saying that before the central environmental protection inspector group moved in, the environmental protection department had taken measures to ban this enterprise, but it failed to meet the requirements of water cut, power cut, product cleaning, raw materials cleaning and equipment cleaning, so a township cadre and a district environmental monitoring staff were held accountable.

　　"This is a wake-up call for us. Our work standards are still far from the requirements of our superiors." Meng Qinghua, director of Gaocheng District Environmental Protection Bureau, said.

　　Constantly shining the sword will lift the national supervision "storm"

　　The wording of the inspector’s feedback severely pointed out that Hebei did not pay enough attention to the strict implementation of the environmental protection work, and the work pressure was attenuated in the transmission; The problem of launching projects in violation of laws and regulations is outstanding; Some key tasks are not promoted strictly; The environmental quality in some areas has deteriorated sharply.

　　We have carried out the central government’s decision-making and deployment on ecological construction and environmental protection without any conditions or reasons, and tackled the symptoms and the root causes together, and together with prevention and rectification, a tough battle has been launched in Hebei.

　　The heavy industrial structure and coal-fired energy structure are the "culprits" of serious air pollution in Hebei. In this regard, Hebei Province made it clear that it will unswervingly resolve the excess capacity, and the party and government leaders who illegally build new steel projects or suspend the resumption of production of steel equipment will be dismissed first and then investigated and dealt with. In response to the inspector’s feedback, the steel construction project of Tangshan Iron and Steel Group was put on record at the end of April. Moreover, Hegang Group promises to be a "pioneer" and reduce the ironmaking capacity by 2.6 million tons and steelmaking capacity by 5.02 million tons this year and next.

　　At the same time, a series of special actions to control environmental pollution such as air, water and soil have also started. A number of environmental protection systems, such as accountability for leading cadres’ assessment and grid management of environmental protection, are being established and improved. Hebei will also take the lead in launching the provincial environmental supervision system and the vertical management reform of environmental monitoring, supervision and law enforcement below the provincial level.

　　At present, although the inspection work of the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group in Hebei has come to an end temporarily, the powerful shock wave brought by the "environmental storm" is being pushed to the whole country.

　　The reporter learned that inspections in about 15 provinces will be completed this year, and full coverage will be achieved in 2017. At the same time, the Ministry of Environmental Protection requires the environmental protection departments of all provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) to carry out comprehensive inspections of more than 30% municipal governments this year and strengthen environmental supervision. By 2020, all provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) will complete a round of comprehensive environmental protection inspections of municipal and county party committees and governments and their relevant departments.

　　"This storm of environmental protection inspectors has alerted people and clearly felt the impact of environmental protection inspectors. Enterprises from other provinces have already had environmental pressure and survival crisis." Pei Peihua, deputy mayor of Shahe City, who is in charge of environmental protection, said that he often receives calls from other places to consult pollution control experience. "On environmental protection issues, whoever is lucky is a dead end."

　　Public opinion believes that in the face of the central environmental protection inspector who will come sooner or later, instead of passively waiting for the problem to be found out, it is better to actively investigate the problem, face the problem squarely, solve the problem ahead, and resolve the contradiction ahead.

　　　　　　 CCTV News:According to Korean Central News Agency’s report today (No.2), Kim Jong-un, the top leader of North Korea, recently inspected the textile and chemical fiber factories in Sinuiju, which is near the border between North Korea and China. During the inspection, Kim Jong-un also repeatedly criticized the relevant factories.

　　　　　　 According to reports, during the inspection, Kim Jong-un said that realizing the epoch-making development of the textile industry is of great significance for opening a breakthrough to improve people’s livelihood. After learning that the factory has been put into production since 1959, but now it is unable to complete the national economic plan, Kim Jong-un expressed his sadness and criticized the factory party Committee for not caring about improving the working and living conditions of employees. Kim Jong-un proposed that the production process should be scientific and modernized next year, and at the same time, the factory should be rebuilt and renovated so that the factory can contribute to improving people’s livelihood.

　　　　　　 Kim Jong-un also inspected the papermaking workshop of Sinuiju Chemical Fiber Factory, and said that it is necessary to revitalize the papermaking industry, ensure educational paper, demand to improve the quality and output of paper, and severely criticize the factory cadres for failing to do their duty to ensure the modernization of production processes.

　　　　　　 It is rare to criticize the inspected enterprises in succession during the inspection in North Korea’s reports. From the focus of the report, the two inspections, one focusing on improving people’s livelihood and the other focusing on ensuring education, also correspond to the new policy line put forward at the Third Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee of the Workers’ Party held in April this year. However, successive criticisms show that North Korea attaches importance to economic development and urges North Korean enterprises that fail to meet the production targets according to the five-year plan.

　　　　　　 Earlier, Kim Jong-un also inspected Sinuiju Cosmetics Factory and Sejima County, North Pyongan Province.
