  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.

December 14th

The State Council joint defense joint control mechanism held a press conference.

Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, National Health and Wellness Commission,

Relevant departments of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention

Responsible comrades and relevant experts attended the conference.

Introduce medical and health services and drug production and supply.

Do a good job in the treatment of COVID-19 patients and

Daily medical service

△ Mi Feng, spokesperson of the National Health and Wellness Commission and deputy director of the Propaganda Department

At present, the goal of epidemic prevention and control is to protect health and prevent serious diseases, and the urgent task is to ensure the people’s medical treatment. Medical institutions at all levels are optimizing their processes, expanding their resources, increasing their strength, making overall plans for epidemic prevention and control, COVID-19 patient treatment and daily medical services, and making every effort to solve the urgent problems of the masses.

It is necessary to play the role of the urban and rural three-level medical and health service network and strengthen the classification and treatment of infected people; Give play to the role of community medical and health institutions and internet hospitals to facilitate the masses to obtain health consultation, medical guidance and appointment diagnosis and treatment services; Strengthen the health management and health monitoring of risk personnel, and effectively ensure that the elderly, pregnant women, children and patients with chronic basic diseases receive timely, effective and convenient medical services.

It is necessary to speed up vaccination, especially to strengthen immunization. Recently, the comprehensive group of joint prevention and control mechanism in the State Council issued a plan to deploy the second dose of intensive immunization among people with high risk of infection and the elderly over 60 years old.

At present, the people’s demand for post-infection drugs in Covid-19 is obviously increasing, so what have we done to ensure drug production?

△ Zhou Jian, Deputy Director of Consumer Goods Industry Department of Ministry of Industry and Information Technology

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.

dengue

An acute infectious disease caused by the transmission of dengue virus through Aedes mosquitoes, usually in summer and autumn. The route from the patient/recessive infected person to Aedes mosquitoes to healthy people continues to spread, and the disease will not be transmitted directly from person to person. People are generally susceptible.

If you have been to a country or region where dengue fever is prevalent in the past two weeks, or have had dengue fever cases within one month around your place of residence or workplace, you should consider the possibility of contracting dengue fever when you have sudden fever (sometimes up to 39°C), obvious fatigue, anorexia, nausea, etc., often accompanied by severe headache, orbital pain, muscle pain all over your body, osteoarthralgia and other symptoms, and may be accompanied by flushing on your face, neck, chest and conjunctival congestion.

If a person has a high fever (sometimes as high as 40℃) lasting for 2-7 days, accompanied by two of the following symptoms-headache, orbital pain, muscle and joint pain, nausea, vomiting, swollen glands and rash, and has recently been to work, live or travel in dengue endemic areas, and dengue fever occurs in his own living and activity community, street or even city, he should consider that he may be infected with dengue fever. At this time,

Prevention and control measures:

1. Wear long-sleeved underwear, try to choose light colors, and use mosquito repellent and other mosquito repellent products when going out to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes.

2. Install screen doors and screens. Mosquito-repellent incense and mosquito-repellent aerosol can be used indoors to kill mosquitoes.

3. If you are suspected to be infected with dengue fever, you need to see a doctor in time and take the initiative to explain the possibility of dengue fever. Please cooperate with the local health department and be hospitalized for isolation treatment.

Hand, foot and mouth disease and herpetic angina

Hand, foot and mouth disease and herpetic angina are common infectious diseases caused by enterovirus infection in infants. It can occur all year round, with the peak in autumn and winter in October-November. The incidence of hand, foot and mouth disease is high in children under 5 years old, and the incidence rate is the highest in infants under 3 years old; Herpes angina is high in children under 6 years old.

The clinical manifestations of hand, foot and mouth disease are rash or herpes on hands, feet, mouth and buttocks of children, mostly accompanied by fever (about 38 degrees Celsius); Children with herpetic angina have a rapid fever, and the temperature is high, mostly around 39-40 degrees Celsius. Herpes only exists in the mouth, usually with sore throat and drooling.

The vast majority of children can recover within a week, and a very small number of critically ill children progress rapidly, which may be complicated with encephalitis, meningitis, myocarditis, pneumonia, etc. If not treated in time, it may be life-threatening.

Preventive measures:

1. Washing hands frequently and maintaining good hand hygiene are the simplest and most effective preventive measures! Wash your hands with hand sanitizer or soap before and after meals and after going out. Nurses should wash their hands before touching children, changing diapers for children and handling children’s feces.

2. Avoid contact with children with hand, foot and mouth disease.

3. Keep the family environment clean, the bedroom should be ventilated frequently, and the clothes and quilts should be dried frequently.

4. Eat a balanced and reasonable diet, ensure high-quality sleep, exercise properly, and improve your immunity.

5. Vaccination with enterovirus 71 (EV-A71) vaccine can effectively prevent related infections caused by EV-71 virus.

6. Children should go to medical institutions in time when they have related symptoms.

Norovirus infection and rotavirus infection

Norovirus infection can occur all year round, and the main manifestations after infection are vomiting and diarrhea. People of all ages are generally susceptible, and children belong to high-risk susceptible groups. The high incidence season is from October to March of the following year. The main routes of transmission include human-to-human, water and food transmission. Contact with patients or their contaminated items, eating or drinking food or water contaminated by viruses may be infected.

Rotavirus infection is one of the main pathogens of acute gastroenteritis in children around the world. Infants and young children infected with rotavirus are mainly manifested as vomiting and diarrhea, accompanied by fever and frequent defecation, which is watery or egg drop soup, and generally has no foul smell. The clinical manifestations can be summarized as "three more and one less", that is, more stools, more water, more times and less urine. The high incidence season is from October to February of the following year. Most of the children are infants from 6 months to 2 years old. Older children and adults usually show no symptoms or mild symptoms after infection.

Preventive measures:

1. Keep the disease from the mouth and adhere to the nine-character policy of "washing hands frequently, drinking boiled water and eating cooked food";

2. When making food, separate raw and cooked food, eat cooked sea and aquatic products, and fully heat the separated food before eating;

3. Reduce contact with diarrhea patients;

4. After going out and returning home, wash your hands carefully before contacting the infants at home;

5. Vaccination with oral attenuated rotavirus live vaccine is the best way to prevent infection in children under 5 years old;

6. If vomiting and diarrhea are particularly serious, you should seek medical advice in time.

Roll call and accountability to see how powerful the shock wave of the first central environmental protection inspector is

  ↑ This is the sludge that was taken on April 27th and dug out from the sewage channel in Hutuo River, Xing ‘an Town, Gaocheng District, Shijiazhuang City. ↑ Xinhua News Agency reporter Yan Yushe

  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.

  — — 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.

  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.

How the noodles invented by China China are popular in Japan?

Historically, rice once occupied a supreme position in Japanese life. The Japanese once thought that food was rice, and eating rice was nothing more than adding salt. There is even a saying in Japan that "rice is rich in salt" means that as long as there is rice and salt, there is life. But now, according to a survey conducted by NHK (Japan Broadcasting Association), "Ramen (Lamian Noodles)" has become the Japanese favorite food in the New Year-noodles have reached the top of food in this rice country.

Why didn’t ancient Japanese eat wheat?

There is a folk legend in Japan that "the fox stole an ear of rice from China and took it back to Japan in a bamboo tube", so that Japan had rice. Through this legend, we know that Japanese rice culture was spread from China, and there are two ways to spread it: first, it passed through Jiangsu and Shandong, and crossed the sea from Shandong Peninsula to the south of the Korean Peninsula; The other is introduced into the northern part of the peninsula by land from North China to Northeast China, and then spread to the south. Both reached the same goal by different routes, and spread to Japan through Ma Haixia. This can be seen from the early remains of paddy fields in Japan-archaeological discoveries in the coastal area of Fukuoka in the northern part of Kyushu Island, which is closest to the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula. Subsequently, the rice cultivation technology gradually spread to the south and east with the northern part of Kyushu as the center. By the 3rd century AD, it had spread to Shikoku Island and most parts of Honshu Island. The grains unearthed in the sites of Yayoi and Gufen from the 3rd century BC to the 7th century AD were all rice.

Because the water and heat conditions in the Japanese archipelago are suitable for rice planting, and compared with planting coarse cereals in dry fields, rice planting is labor-saving, time-saving and high-yield. Therefore, for thousands of years, Japan’s rice production has been the first of all kinds of crops. Therefore, the Japanese call rice the king of food, and rice is a gift from heaven to Japan. Japanese people are used to eating rice, so in the history of ancient Japanese agriculture, barley and wheat are rare. In ancient Japan, people even thought it was time-consuming to eat pasta, but the saying that "the poor eat wheat" was repugnant to pasta. Although in famine years, Japanese officials often encourage the cultivation of wheat to alleviate famine and distribute seeds; However, farmers refused to buy it. Even if they were forced by the government to plant wheat, they refused to eat it as food. Instead, they cut it before it matured and sold it as horse feed, so that the Emperor had to issue a decree in 715 AD announcing that if the immature wheat was sold as horse feed, it would be severely punished.

Is it really that the taste of wheat doesn’t agree with the Japanese? In fact, it is not. The fundamental reason for boycotting wheat planting is actually that Japan lacked the technology to make flour at that time. Before the era of mechanized mass production, ancient people used a stone mill to make flour. In China during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, firstly, the stone mortar was pushed by human or animal power to process flour, and then the flour was milled by water truck, thus reducing the price of flour, making it possible for ordinary people to eat pasta, and thus making pasta appear and popularize in large numbers. According to the Japanese history book "The Book of Japan", as early as 610 AD, a Koguryo monk named Tanzheng brought the stone mill to Japan, but the Japanese couldn’t copy it. To make a stone mill, it was necessary to carry out precision processing on hard stones. However, the stonework technology in ancient Japan was underdeveloped, and it was really beyond their power to produce the stone mill. At that time, Japanese people could only grind flour with wooden mortar and pestle, but wooden mortar and pestle were only suitable for pounding rice. When wheat with hard bran was encountered, it was quite laborious to pound it, and it became very difficult to make pasta. Unlike wheat, which needs to be ground into powder to eat (the seed coat of wheat is hard, so it is very unpalatable to eat it directly), millet can be cooked directly as long as it is washed, and even eating brown rice unexpectedly makes up for the vitamins and minerals that Japanese people lack in their daily diet. After the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese army generally ate polished rice, but beriberi caused by vitamin deficiency appeared on a large scale. As a result, contrary to the folk saying that "the poor eat wheat", for a long time,Japanese pasta has become a kind of precious food monopolized by officials, nobles and senior monks.

Traditional style stone mill

Plain noodles, udon noodles, buckwheat noodles

When it comes to pasta, we can’t help but mention noodles. In 2002, in the Qijia cultural layer of the Neolithic age in Qinghai Province (the Neolithic culture in Gansu Province from 2200 BC to 1600 BC), archaeologists unearthed noodles made of millet and millet 4000 years ago, which were about 50 cm long and 0. 3 cm wide, even in thickness and bright yellow in color. This is probably the earliest known noodles. China’s invention right of "noodles" is therefore beyond doubt.

Ancient noodles unearthed in Qinghai

Before the Tang Dynasty, all foods made of wheat flour were called "noodles", and foods such as noodles, which were heated by putting wheat dough in boiling water, were called "soup cakes", but in the Song Dynasty, "noodles" were separated from "cakes" to refer to "noodles" exclusively. In Meng Liang Lu, written by Wu Zimu, which describes the bustling scene of Lin ‘an (now Hangzhou) in the Southern Song Dynasty, a noodle shop has been set up, including "silk chicken noodles", "three fresh noodles" and "fried chicken noodles", which is no different from today.

Although there was no communication between China and Japan at the national level in Song Dynasty, the cultural and economic exchanges between the two sides were still frequent. Different from the official "envoys to the Tang Dynasty", Japanese monks who entered the Song Dynasty played a vital role in the exchanges between the two sides. At that time, when Zen Buddhism was flourishing in China, most Japanese monks also wanted to study in China. While introducing Zen Buddhism to Japan, they also brought back the food culture of China monasteries at that time (all vegetarian, of course), and noodles were one of them. Some people in later generations concluded that "most epoch-making Japanese food comes from monasteries and is generally spread by monks who have experience in studying in China".

In 1241 AD, the founder of Tofuku-ji Temple in the south of Kyoto today, Shengyi Kunshi, returned from China and brought back a "water mill map" (a design of a mill made of waterwheels and gears), which finally made Japanese flour-making technology catch up with China’s level. From then on, Japanese people can taste pasta, which used to be exclusive to monks and nobles, and gradually change their views on pasta.

What noodles did the ancient Japanese eat? The first thing that was welcomed by the Japanese was Su (Suo) noodles. Vegetarian noodles are the earliest Japanese noodles. At that time, the vegetarian noodles were all stretched by hand after the dough was kneaded repeatedly, just like the handmade Lamian Noodles, which was characterized by being long and thin, refreshing to eat, and mainly used as cold food. Next came the famous udon noodles, which were made by slicing thin dough into hot soup noodles. It is said that the troops of Takeda Shingen, the famous "Tiger of Jiafei" in the Warring States Period, used udon noodles as their food for marching. It stands to reason that udon noodles can only be made by rolling the dough thin with a rolling pin and then cutting it with a knife. Unlike making vegetarian noodles, it takes high technology to pull the dough into long strips first, but in fact udon noodles appeared in Japan as late as the 15th century. Investigate its reason, it is because the technical level of the Japanese at that time was too poor to make a chopping block! It takes a planer to make a chopping block, but it didn’t become popular in Japan until the Edo period in the 16th century. Before that, workers needed to put the blade on the front end of the stick and flatten the wood bit by bit to make a chopping block, which was very laborious.

The buckwheat noodles appeared later than udon noodles. Buckwheat itself is not sticky and easy to break, so it is not suitable for making noodles. Legend has it that in 1659, Zhu Shunshui (1600-1682), a adherent of the Ming Dynasty who stayed in Mitofan (now Ibaraki Prefecture), taught the Japanese to mix wheat flour into buckwheat flour to make it sticky and elastic, so this kind of noodle called "the most Japanese characteristic" came out. One of the reasons why soba noodles are popular is to win the favor. It is said that Japanese gold foil masters, at work, often use soba dough to touch the gold foil fragments that take off and fall everywhere. To this end, Japanese folks think buckwheat is a cash register item, so they use its auspicious saying to prepare buckwheat noodles when they are engaged, married or celebrating. Eating buckwheat noodles every other year on New Year’s Eve is also for good luck, hoping for gold and silver to enter the home, which is a mentality with China’s "more than fish every year". By the 19th century, Edo (now Tokyo), a city with a population of 1 million, had a list of 100 buckwheat noodle shops, which showed the Japanese people’s enthusiasm for this kind of noodle at that time.

The Birth of "Lamian Noodles"

The same is noodles, whether udon noodles or buckwheat noodles. An important difference between Japanese noodles before modern times and Chinese noodles is that Japanese noodles are made without adding alkaline water. When wheat flour meets water, it will produce a grid-like tissue, commonly known as "gluten". Alkaline water is a kind of alkaline natural soda water containing potassium carbonate and sodium carbonate. When Chinese noodles are made, alkaline water is added, so the kneaded dough can change the protein in flour, enhance the viscosity and elasticity, and make the taste more comfortable.

正宗的中国面条迟至19世纪末、20世纪初才进入日本。1893年时,日本横滨的外国人居留地中居住着约5000名外国人,其中中国人约为3350人。而在甲午战争之后,清朝开始向日本派遣官费留学生,以后自费留学生的规模也急剧扩大。在1905年前后,在日本的中国留学生人数达到大约5万人。与此同时,无论是梁启超这样的立宪派,还是孙文这样的革命党,都将日本作为重要的活动据点,如此众多的中国人在短时间内来到日本,势必又一次将中国的饮食文化带入东瀛四岛。

大约在20世纪初期,中国面条出现在了横滨的“南京町(唐人街)”,并从这里出发,迅速征服日本人的脾胃。值得注意的是,当时的日本一心脱亚入欧,断发易服之外,连饮食也恨不得一日西化,著名思想家福泽谕吉撰文鼓吹要像西洋人一样“应该吃肉”(此前受佛教影响,日本人几乎不吃鱼肉之外的肉类)。明治天皇带头喝牛奶吃牛肉,当时的日本宫廷膳食干脆就是法式大餐。相反,对于传统的文化母国,日本则是一副鄙薄心态,印度古籍用于指代中国的“支那”一词正是在这一时期,在日本人的口中出现了贬义。在这样的背景下,中国面条在日本的传播,完全是出自食物本身的魅力。

普通的中国(苏州)羊肉面

横滨唐人街

尽管这种中国面条毫无荞麦的成分,但比起粗粗圆圆的乌冬面,形式上更接近固有的细长的荞麦面,被日本人称为“南京荞麦面”,并以其价格低廉、滋味鲜美而受到日本中下层市民的欢迎,逐渐走出“唐人街”,在日本主流社会中流行开来,名字也变成了“支那荞麦面”。第二次世界大战之后,迫于作为战胜国的中华民国政府的压力,日本官方不得不下令禁用“支那”一词。结果,不知从何时起,“支那荞麦面”又变成了“ラーメン”。这个假名的读音“ramen”极似普通话的“拉面”,显系晚近从汉语里直接借入的外来词。

Lamian Noodles has become a national delicacy in Japan today, mainly because the long Lamian Noodles can be matched with various vegetables and animal meat as the main materials, and seafood such as soy sauce, ginger, onion, sesame oil and various scallops or shrimps can be added to meet the dietary needs of all social classes. Therefore, there is a "Chinese Noodle Noodle Center" in Fukuoka, a "New Yokohama Lamian Noodles Museum" in Yokohama, and even a "Japan Lamian Noodles Research Association", which specializes in Lamian Noodles magazine … Lamian Noodles has become a well-deserved king of Chinese cuisine circulating in Japan.

Five New Insect Species Found in Wuyishan National Park

  Xinhua News Agency, Fuzhou, July 9 (Reporter Zhang Huaying) A few days ago, the reporter learned from the Wuyishan National Park Scientific Research Monitoring Center that during the background investigation of biological resources in Wuyishan National Park, researchers discovered five new insect species of the genus Euonymus, namely, Euonymus brevis, Euonymus versicolor, Euonymus versicolor and Euonymus versicolor. At present, relevant scientific research results have been published in the Journal of Insect Taxonomy.

  In April 2021, Wuyishan National Park Administration launched a three-year background survey of biological resources. More than 100 experts from many scientific research units and universities went to the field many times to comprehensively investigate the main ecosystems and biological groups of Wuyishan National Park. Up to now, 24 new species have been found in the survey. During the investigation, researchers collected a large number of insect samples, observed the morphological characteristics of adult samples through stereoscope and microscope, and identified them as new species by means of morphological taxonomy.

  Ma Fangzhou, an associate researcher at the Nanjing Institute of Environmental Sciences of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said that the yellow-shouldered dance insects are generally small in size, with the adult body length ranging from 1.8 mm to 2.8 mm, the male insect’s abdominal end is thick and the female insect is slender. Their larvae live under the ground cover, rocks or soil, and adults are terrestrial, mostly moving on the surface and ground of plants. Preying prey mainly includes psyllids, aphids, scale insects, mosquitoes, flies, mites and other important economic pests or health pests.

  Ma Fangzhou said that the new species of Rhopalosiphum discovered this time plays an important role in clarifying the insect resources of Rhopalosiphum, and at the same time, it is of great significance in the comprehensive management of pests by biological control and the study of indicator organisms for biodiversity and environmental assessment.

Daishan, CEO of Taotian Group: Co-branded merchants, deepening the China market.

  At the press conference of 2023 Tmall in double 11 held on October 20th, Daishan, CEO of Taotian Group, said that the scale of online consumption will be further expanded in the future, and Taobao Tmall will move from thousands of people to hundreds of millions of people, better matching the needs of each consumer, allowing businesses willing to create consumer value to grow up, leading consumption together, and deepening the China market.

  Dai Shan believes that there is still a lot of room for growth in the domestic big market, huge room for upgrading the domestic manufacturing capacity, and sufficient consumer demand, which determines that the China market is still strong and the growth potential is more certain. Taobao Tmall will firmly deepen the China market and join hands with brand merchants to provide consumers with better product value and consumption experience.

The much-anticipated "Cat Night" will also return, and the festive atmosphere will be stronger than in previous years.

  Bosideng, Bee Flower, Laoganma, Tianfu Coke and other well-known domestic brands have already prepared the goods of Tmall double 11, ready for the biggest business growth in a year. Tmall not only relaxed the restrictions on the number of products registered by new brands and small and medium-sized businesses for the first time, but also increased the subsidies and incentives of real money. This year, it will also be the double 11 with the largest participation of new brands, new businesses and small and medium-sized businesses.

  In response to the demands of consumers and businesses, this year Tmall double 11 has further simplified its gameplay, increased its official subsidies, and increased public welfare entrances such as "shopping for convenience", thus truly becoming a simpler, more affordable, happier and warmer double 11.

  In order to make consumers buy more cheaply and better, this year, on the basis of the previous cross-store full reduction, Tmall double 11 launched a large-scale official direct reduction and vertical reduction, and invested the largest official red envelopes and coupons in history. Consumers can buy more favorable products and enjoy the service of "low price on the whole network" and "official reduction".

  For consumers who like to buy furniture, home appliances and other big items in double 11, Tmall double 11 will provide 88VIP coupons to help consumers save money by buying big items. For users who like live shopping, this year Taobao Live will take the lead in sending a 1 billion yuan red envelope in the live broadcast room, and the minimum discount for a limited time will drop, bringing consumers a double 11 full of surprises.
