Former Iowa Congressman wrote to Shanghai Daily: Trade disputes make too many American farmers unhappy.

  "Too many American farmers are unhappy, and as the dispute persists, more people are confused about the future." A former congressman from Iowa wrote this at the beginning of his letter to the China media "Shanghai Daily".

  On June 17th, Shanghai Daily published an in-depth English report by Xinhua News Agency, entitled "Floods and US-China Trade Disputes Bring Disastrous Disastrous by Historical Floods". The article objectively reflects natural disasters and trade disputes, especially the disasters brought by the latter to American farmers. The article mentioned that since the end of March this year, the continuous floods in the midwest of the United States have made local farmers complain. Blake Hurst, president of Missouri Farmers’ Association, said that such a large-scale serious flood that swept across the central and western regions had never happened in his memory of farming for more than 40 years. In addition to natural disasters, the trade dispute with China provoked by the US government has further aggravated the plight of farmers in the Midwest of the United States. Trade disputes have caused a sharp decline in US soybean exports to China, lower soybean prices, greatly reduced farmers’ income, and many farmers are facing economic difficulties. Although the U.S. government launched a subsidy assistance program of $12 billion last year and $16 billion this year, the affected farmers told reporters that they wanted a stable market more than subsidies.

  Shortly after the article was published, Shanghai Daily received a letter from Greg Cusack, a former representative of Iowa. Kusak said in his letter: "Too many American farmers are unhappy, and as the dispute persists, more people are confused about the future."

  Kusak pointed out that because "Republicans are used to making a fuss about a single political issue, throwing salt at the wound and the rural areas where the Democratic Party depends on are dying day by day", American farmers feel quite helpless and have no choice. The Democratic Party is far from finding a package solution for agriculture or rural areas, which makes the situation even worse.

  Kusak also said in his letter that Xinhua News Agency and other related articles published by Shanghai Daily reported on American farmers and other issues extensively and were in line with the facts. In contrast, some American media reports on domestic and foreign news in the United States are very lacking, which is far from meeting the needs of even readers with general knowledge background.

  In his letter, he also described various manifestations of the increasingly divided American society, and pointed out: "I think the Shanghai Daily is very extensive in reporting these topics of concern, and I hope your newspaper will continue to report these problems in the United States, despite the current trade friction between the United States and China. These problems show that American society is in a dilemma. They include: high student debt (which is also high after graduation), stagnant wages, widening wealth gap and rural difficulties. "

  This is not the first time that Kusak has written to Shanghai Daily. Wang Yong, deputy editor-in-chief of Shanghai Daily, told The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) that after reading the in-depth comments on Shanghai’s construction of beautiful countryside published by Shanghai Daily, Kusak wrote a special letter praising China’s great efforts to revitalize the countryside under the leadership of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, and pointed out that the support of the two parties in the United States to the countryside was lip service, which led to the decline of American agriculture and rural life. His letter was also published in the commentary section of Shanghai Daily.

  Kusak was a representative of Iowa, and one of his main tasks was to revitalize rural areas and agriculture in the United States.

  Wang Yong told The Paper that Kusak has repeatedly supported China’s just position on major issues, such as the South China Sea issue and Internet management, and he has written to actively support China’s position. He also studied the history and traditional culture of China at his own expense. Two years ago, he also facilitated a senior commentator of the Des Moines Chronicle in Iowa to come to Shanghai to interview the Shanghai Daily, affirming China’s news reporting concept. After returning to the United States, the reporter from Des Moines Chronicle wrote an in-depth report on the media, hoping that the United States would stop being biased against the China media.

  "Kusak has been writing to tell us that the American press is not only the Wall Street press, but also an agricultural state like Iowa. The press is friendly to China, and the report is objective and rational. He hopes that Iowa will make greater contributions to Sino-US friendly cooperation. " Wang Yong said.

  The report published in Shanghai Daily and the letter from Greg Cusack are as follows.

  Midwest farmers devastated by historic floods, ongoing US-China trade tensions

  (Shanghai Daily, June 17))

  About 10 days after the latest round of rainfall, half of Tom Waters’ farmland is still under water. “Some of it’ s flooded from the river. Some of it’ s flooded from seep water. Some of it just rain water that has nowhere else to go because it won’ t drain,” said the seventh-generation farmer.

  Waters and his family farm about 3,500 acres (1,416 hectares) of land in Orrick, Missouri, a small town east of Kansas City. Among his nearly 1, 700-acre rain-soaked fields, 900 acres were swallowed by the surging Missouri River when a levee broke on June 1 and are still up to 4.5 meters below water.

  He had planted a few acres of corn, with the rest intended for soybeans, but “it’ s just gone now,” Waters told Xinhua, estimating the loss to be “several hundred thousand dollars.”

  When the flood hit, Waters had to move out some 60,000 bushels (1,633 tons) of soybeans in storage, and sold them at “a pretty low price, ” about US$3 a bushel off the normal price prior to the US-China trade tensions. “That’ s a lot of dollars difference for us,” he said.

  “This has just been rain after rain. Before it even dries out it rains again. It’ s been week after week after week like that,” said Waters, who has been farming for over 40 years in this area, adding that the persistent wet weather is a “very rare event.”

  Noting that reservoirs up in Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota still have too much water to dump, the seasoned farmer worried that “the river is going to be high all the rest of spring and through summer, so chances are we won’ t get any of this (flooded land) planted this year.”

  Blake Hurst, president of the Missouri Farm Bureau, also a corn and soybean farmer in Tarkio, northwest Missouri, told Xinhua that he saw similarly catastrophic floods in this area in 1993, but such a widespread severe flooding throughout the Midwest is the worst he can remember. “The last 12 months, in the center part of the United States, have been the wettest 12 months on record,” said Hurst, who has about 500 acres of land under water, noting that the relentless rain since late March has contributed to significant planting delays.

  In the biggest corn-producing states, farmers had planted 83 percent of corn acreage by June 9, compared with a five-year average of 99 percent, according to the latest data from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).

  Hurst, who also has 40-plus years of farming experience, said corn should ideally be planted by the first week of May, and a one-month delay could cut the normal yield by roughly 20 percent, as there might not be enough time for it to mature before the frost hits the ground. The seemingly relentless rain in the Midwest has left farmers dro wning in frustration. On top of that, many growers have been bearing the brunt of the US-initiated trade dispute with China, struggling with financial hardship and facing an uncertain future.

  “We’ ve seen a big cut in our (soybean) exports to China because of the trade tension, and that’ s caused prices to drop,” Hurst said, adding that several months of trade frictions have “made a big difference” to farmers’ income.

  Noting that the United States has had five years of above average crop yields, Hurst said that already led to an oversupply. A decline in exports to China, caused by the trade tensions and compounded by the African swine fever outbreak, has worsened the situation, he said.

  ‘ Not a dependable supplier’

  “It’ s just a combination of all of them that has really made farming kind of difficult this year,” Hurst said. “It just keeps on and coming.”

  For Waters, a combination of circumstances has made planning nearly impossible. “I think this has been the hardest year to make decisions for me since I’ ve been farming,” he said.

  Waters said it has been stressful to wait for a resolution to the trade dispute. “You keep thinking, well maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow, then you hear a little bit of good news and maybe the price bumps up a little bit and then that blows up and it goes back down. So it’ s just been difficult,” he said. Hurst, who farms 6,000 acres of land with his family, usually plants corns on half of the acreage and soybeans on the other half. Earlier this year, he had planned to plant 5 to 10 percent more corn because of the trade dispute and lower demand for soybeans. The unusual wet spring, however, makes that goal unfeasible.

  “Now, anybody that’ s shifting will shift to soybean simply because it’ s too late for corn,” Hurst said, adding that if soybeans don’ t get planted by this week, farmers will start to lose yield as well.

  However, the USDA data shows that growers in the major soybean-producing states had only planted 60 percent of acreage by June 9, far below a five-year average of 88 percent. Speaking of the newly approved disaster relief bill and the new round of trade aid package, Hurst urged the administration to announce detailed rules of these programs quickly so that farmers can better plan.

  Noting that it took Congress months to pass the disaster relief bill, Waters said he doesn’ t expect to receive any money until weeks later. Still, he prefers a stable market rather than a trade aid package. “The question has to be, are we losing these markets permanently?” Hurst said, noting that trade tensions in some ways make the United States “not a dependable supplier” for soybeans.

  “Obviously we’ re going to put tariffs on you. We’ re going to announce tariffs in a tweet. So they can happen at any time. So if I’ m a grain buyer anywhere in the world, I’ m looking for a supplier I can trust, and we’ re no longer that supplier,” he said. “We’ ll be paying for this for years.”

  Media role in informing US farmers

  Letter from Gray Kusak, published in Shanghai Daily on June 21st.

  I wrote this after reading “Midwest farmers devastated by historic floods, ongoing US-China trade tensions” in the Shanghai Daily (June 17). One heck of a lot of farmers in America are not happy, and an even greater number are very worried about how this will all play out, especially the longer the stand-off continues.

  The age of the average farmer continues to increase, the prices they receive for their crops are stagnant, the costs of the inputs nonetheless are increasing, and corporate mono-crop “farming” is harming land, air, and water (the dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than ever).

  So, are they just stupid, misinformed, or what?

  I think the problem is really the vast division in our country caused by the culture wars — the real, but deliberately exaggerated, tensions between generations, the urban-rural divide, the skillful way the Republicans keep single-issue politics picked raw, and the marked decline in rural districts that are Democratic leaning. In a sense, many farmers thus believe that they have nowhere else to go.

  The Democratic candidates have yet to produce, at least to my knowledge, anything that could remotely be described as a farm or rural program package, making the situation even more dire.

  I think the wide range of concerns covered by the Shanghai Daily is truly remarkable, and I hope that despite current tensions you will continue to cover matters in the US, including the many indicators that we are a society in deep trouble: such as levels of student debt after graduation, still largely stagnant wages, the ongoing widening disparity of wealth and the genuine plight of rural America. In contrast, newspapers in the US are not doing so well. The Oregonian, the newspaper published in Portland and its metro area of a few million, is nothing like what it was in the recent past.

  They now deliver paper editions to subscribers only four days a week, expecting that on other days people will use their digital apps to access them. And their national, let alone international, coverage is insufficient to provide the information even half-informed citizens need.

  The author is a retired US statesman. He now lives in Oregon.

  The Chinese version of the report published in Shanghai Daily and the article written by Greg Cusack are as follows:

  Close-up: The spring sowing season with floods and trade disputes has brought too many difficulties to American farmers.

  (Xinhua News Agency, June 14, 2019)

  Xinhua News Agency, Auric, USA, June 13th (Reporter Xiong Maoling, Hu Yousong) In Auric, a small town in central Missouri, USA, Tom Waters, who was over 60 years old, pointed to a muddy water area and told Xinhua News Agency that there were nearly 1,000 acres (1 acre is about 0.4 hectares) of his farmland here, but it was a pity that it was flooded after the Missouri River burst its banks earlier this month.

  The Waters family has been farming for seven generations. At present, they have more than 3,500 acres of farmland, mainly growing soybeans and corn, but half of the farmland has been affected. He said that due to the large amount of water storage in reservoirs in Montana and North Dakota in the upper reaches, it is necessary to open floodgates and flood discharge, and it is estimated that his flooded farmland will not be seen again until the end of the summer.

  "(The flooded farmland) may not be able to grow anything this year." Waters said helplessly that he expected that the flood would cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars.

  Since the end of March this year, the continuous floods in the midwest of the United States have made farmers like Waters complain, and the sowing process has been delayed again and again. According to data from the US Department of Agriculture, as of last week, about 83% of corn fields in the United States have been sown, which lags behind the average of 99% in the same period of the past five years; The soybean planting completion rate is 60%, which is also lower than the average level of 88% in the same period of the past five years.

  Blake Hurst, president of Missouri Farmers’ Association, told reporters that such a large-scale serious flood that swept across the central and western regions had never happened in his memory of farming for more than 40 years. He said that even if the flood recedes, the flooded farmland will have to wait for time for the soil to recover, which means that some farmland will miss the whole sowing season.

  Hearst said that the best sowing date of corn has passed one month. If we start planting corn now, I am afraid we can only achieve 80% harvest this year. The sowing window of soybeans is also narrowing. If the sowing cannot be completed next week, the soybean output will be affected this year.

  Not only is it a natural disaster, but the trade dispute with China provoked by the US government has aggravated the plight of farmers in the Midwest of the United States. Hearst said that the trade dispute caused a sharp drop in US soybean exports to China, lower soybean prices, greatly reduced farmers’ income, and many farmers faced economic difficulties.

  Hearst said that in the past five years, the rare continuous high yield of soybeans and other crops in the United States has already caused an oversupply, while the economic and trade friction has reduced the demand for American soybeans in China, a big market, and the oversupply of American soybeans is even more serious. "These factors are superimposed together, making it difficult for farmers this year."

  Waters originally hoarded 60,000 bushels of soybeans (1 bushel of soybeans weighs about 27.2 kilograms) for sale when the price picked up. However, due to the flood this spring, he had to transfer his inventory in time and have a sale at a low price. Compared with the soybean price before the Sino-US economic and trade friction, he lost about $180,000.

  Compared with many farmers, Waters is lucky. It is understood that in Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and other States, floods not only flooded fields, but also swept some barns, and farmers could only watch helplessly as the food that was too late to rush was wiped out.

  Waters admits that this year is the most difficult year for him to make a decision since he was a farmer, and he has spent many "sleepless nights". He has been expecting the United States and China to reach an agreement as soon as possible to resolve the trade dispute, but the waiting process makes him anxious.

  "I’ve been thinking about it, maybe tomorrow (an agreement will be reached), and then I heard a little good news, and then the price of soybeans went up a little, and then the expectations failed and the price fell again. This is not easy for all farmers." He said.

  For Hurst, who owns 6,000 acres of farmland, the planting season this spring is also very difficult. Hearst’s farmland is located in Tacchio, a small town in the northwest corner of Missouri. In previous years, he usually planted half soybeans and half corn. Hearst originally planned to plant hundreds of acres of corn this year because of the reduced demand for soybeans caused by economic and trade frictions. However, the continuous rainfall has repeatedly delayed his corn sowing plan and missed the best sowing date. Now, if he replants soybeans, he will face the uncertainty of market demand.

  In order to make up for the losses caused by economic and trade frictions to farmers, the US government introduced an agricultural subsidy plan of about $12 billion last year to provide certain subsidies to farmers of crops such as soybeans. But Waters said that the soybeans he produced last year were only partially subsidized.

  In late May this year, the US Department of Agriculture announced that it would provide farmers with up to $16 billion in aid to compensate them for the losses they suffered in economic and trade frictions. But Waters doesn’t expect to get money soon. He wants a stable market more than government subsidies.

  Hearst also expressed concern about the market prospects. He said that the U.S. government’s actions of arbitrarily imposing tariffs and provoking trade disputes will make the United States lose its status as a "reliable supplier" and cause long-term negative effects. "We will pay the price for this for many years." (Participating in reporters: Gao Pan, Liu Jie)

  Letter from Gray Kusak.(Chinese translation)

  After reading the article published in Shanghai Daily on June 17th ("Floods and trade disputes bring disasters to farmers in the Midwest of the United States"), I started writing to your newspaper. Too many American farmers are unhappy, and as the dispute persists, more people are confused about the future.

  The average age of American farmers is getting bigger and bigger, the production cost is getting higher and higher, but the price of agricultural products is stagnant, and the company’s single-variety planting behavior has brought harm to land, air and water (the "dead zone" in the Gulf of Mexico is increasing day by day. )

  Is all this because American farmers are stupid? Or is it because their information is wrong, or other reasons?

  In my opinion, the real root of the problem lies in the social gap caused by the cultural war in our country – Generational conflicts (real but deliberately exaggerated), urban-rural division, Republicans’ habit of making a fuss about a single political issue, throwing salt into the wound, and the rural areas on which the Democratic Party depends are dying. It can be said that many farmers in the United States feel quite helpless and feel that there is no way to go. The Democratic Party is far from finding a package solution for agriculture or rural areas, which makes the situation even worse.

  I think Shanghai Daily has a wide coverage of these topics of concern. I hope your newspaper will continue to report these problems in the United States, despite the current trade friction between the United States and China. These problems show that American society is in a dilemma. They include: the debt of students remains high (even after graduation), the wages are mostly stagnant, the wealth gap is widening, and the countryside is in trouble.

  Contrary to your newspaper, American newspapers are not doing well. For example, The Oregonian, published in Oregon and surrounding areas with millions of people, is not as good as it used to be. The quality edition of the newspaper is only published four days a week, and the rest of the time readers are expected to read it through electronic applications. (In the case of such a shrinking newspaper industry), not to mention international news, even domestic news in the United States is poorly reported, which is far from meeting the needs of readers with only general knowledge background.

Next, look at the camera part. Although the iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max series is still a three-camera scheme with super wide angle+wide angle+telephoto, and equipped with a LiDAR lens, the main camera is upgraded to a brand-new 48-megapixel sensor for the first time, with a unit pixel area of 1.22μ M, supporting the four-pixel integration technology, and the unit pixel area can reach 2.44μ M, the lens aperture is f/1.78, the lens focal length is 24mm, and it is equipped with the second generation sensor displacement anti-shake technology. However, on the ultra-wide-angle and telephoto lenses, they still maintain 12 million pixels, the equivalent focal length of telephoto lens is 77mm, and the equivalent focal length of ultra-wide-angle lens is 13 mm.

In terms of camera module size, the camera module size of iPhone 14 Pro is slightly larger than that of iPhone 13 Pro.

Disassemble the camera module, you can see the main camera sensor of iPhone 14 Pro, and continue to adopt the sensor shift image stabilization system first introduced by iPhone 12 Pro series, which greatly improves the anti-shake performance. In terms of the size of the main camera sensor, the iPhone 14 Pro has been expanded from 1/1.67 inch of the previous generation to 1/1.31 inch.

Although the "Microcomputer Branch" does not indicate the suppliers of the lens module, image sensor and laser radar module of the iPhone 14 Pro series, according to the previous data, the rear lens module of the Pro series should be mainly supplied by Dali Light, and the image sensor is mainly supplied by Sony. The rear lidar module is mainly supplied by Sony. As for the front Face ID module, the Face ID of iPhone 13 series was previously supplied by Foxconn and LG Innotek, but the Face ID of 14 Pro series has been improved, so it is uncertain whether it will still be supplied by these two companies.

There is a dustproof and waterproof apron around the inside of the rear flash of iPhone 14 Pro, which is quite different from the previous generation. After violent disassembly, it can be seen that the rear flash of iPhone 14 Pro has changed from two bulbs in the previous generation to a big bulb, but Apple has divided it into nine parts, which can adaptively control the flash intensity, brightness and uniformity. Both have improved.

Summary:

Judging from the above disassembly report and the existing public information,Although the hardware configuration of the iPhone 14/14 Pro has not been greatly upgraded as that of the Pro series, its internal structure has been redesigned, and the "sandwich" design has greatly improved the maintainability.

Therefore,IFixit gave a high score of 7 (out of 10) for the repairability score of iPhone 14, which is also the highest score since iPhone 7. IFixit even said: "This is a big event, and Apple should make a major statement that the iPhone 14 has been redesigned from the inside out to make it easier to maintain."

Sam Goldheart of iFixit thinks: "In this era, product launch should not just brag about some small new features. Why doesn’t Cook brag about repairability? We didn’t know this would happen because Apple didn’t mention it at all. But they should do so. "

In addition, the two-way satellite communication function introduced by iPhone 14 series is also a focus of attention. The reason why the iPhone 14 series can support two-way satellite communication is mainly due to the upgrade of Qualcomm Snapdragon X65 baseband chip and Apple’s self-developed RF antenna.

According to previous data, Qualcomm Snapdragon X65 baseband chip can not only support the downlink rate up to 10Gbps, but also cover all major 5G bands including millimeter wave and Sub-6GHz band and their combinations. It is confirmed that the satellite communication of iPhone 14 series is supported by Qualcomm Snapdragon X65. The baseband chip has added a new 2.4 GHz n53 band function to support the satellite of Globalstar, a satellite communication company cooperated by Apple.

ICJay Monroe, executive chairman of Globalstar, boasted at the press conference earlier this year: "We appreciate the close relationship with Qualcomm since the company was founded, and thank their team for their hard work in helping us realize the promise of Band n53." Globalstar previously announced that it agreed to use 85% of its current and future satellite network capacity to support the two-way satellite communication function of iPhone.

In addition, the addition of two-way satellite communication function, coupled with many existing communication functions such as 5G, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS, not only greatly increases the number of antennas, but also brings greater challenges to antenna design. During the disassembly, we also saw some new designs of Apple on the antenna.

Disassembly also shows that although the iPhone 14 Pro series still uses 6GB of memory, it uses the latest LPDDR5 technology, while the previous generation iPhone 13 series is LPDDR4X.

Earlier, Apple had indicated that it would not consider using Changjiang storage flash memory in iphones sold in markets outside China, so we didn’t see the version using Changjiang storage flash memory in the disassembly of the US version of iFixit iPhone 14 series.

However, the three National Bank versions of the iPhone 14 series dismantled by Calculus have not found any flash memory with Yangtze River storage. But,According to the disassembly video of the National Bank version of iPhone 14 Pro Max released by a domestic blogger, the disassembled version uses flash memory supplied by Changjiang Storage.

Judging from the changes in the supply chain of Apple’s iPhone in recent years, the proportion of Chinese mainland suppliers in the Bank of China version of iPhone is growing continuously.

This may also be a measure taken by Apple to reduce the supply chain risks caused by the "US-China science and technology war" and "geopolitical issues".

In the past year, the short video industry has developed rapidly, and short video has become a new direction of investors’ attention. However, short video platforms emerge one after another, which is too demanding for quantity rather than quality, which directly leads to the difficulty in controlling short video content, and the quality of short video content has become the key to the development of short video industry.

On November 14th, 360 Express Video held an ultra-short video app-Express Video Conference in Beijing. At the conference, Zhou Hongyi, founder and CEO of 360 Group, gave a short speech for one minute, proposing to watch the video for one minute, so that every second of the video will be more exciting and busy people can watch interesting and informative videos in the shortest time.

Let users capture the wonderful in one minute and appreciate the wonders of the world in one minute.

Intelligent exploration engine helps users explore new fun.

The most common browsing mode of short video platforms is to push the updated content in the background immediately. Users browse in real time, and the video label is not obvious. Users often receive content that they are not interested in, so they can only skim over the uninterested content and skip to the next one.

Fast Video is a new generation of QVD intelligent exploration engine, which senses and records users’ emotions every time they browse video content, and analyzes users’ preferences through the background system. When the user browses the short video content next time, the background will be pushed to the client according to the user’s preference.

In addition to analyzing the length of time users watch videos, the free search function of fast videos is also one of the ways for the system to obtain users’ preferences. The fast video system strengthens the user’s emotional perception and free exploration, so that users can not only see interesting content, but also find other kinds of wonderful videos, bringing more excitement to users’ entertainment time.

Network powers build a network security defense line together

The number of netizens is 1.051 billion, and the Internet penetration rate is 74.4%-this is the latest statistical data on the development of Internet in China.

Huge netizens constitute a booming consumer market in China, laying a solid user base for the development of digital economy, and at the same time putting forward higher requirements for network security.

From September 5 to 11, 2022 National Cyber Security Publicity Week was held. This year’s publicity week will further popularize important laws and regulations such as the Network Security Law of the People’s Republic of China and the Data Security Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC), and promote network security knowledge and skills.

Without network security, there will be no national security, no stable economic and social operation, and it is difficult to protect the interests of the broad masses of the people.

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed that the national cyber security work should adhere to the principle that cyber security is for the people and cyber security depends on the people, ensure the security of personal information and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of citizens in cyberspace.

At present, telecommunication network fraud has become the crime type with the largest number of cases, the fastest increase, the widest coverage and the strongest response from the people. In May this year, the Ministry of Public Security announced five types of high-incidence telecommunication network fraud cases-single rebate, false investment and wealth management, false online loan, impersonating customer service and impersonating public security law. These five types of fraud accounted for nearly 80%.

Telecom fraud is fascinating, how to strengthen prevention and crack down on criminal behavior more accurately?

On September 2nd, the 13th the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) Conference voted to pass the Anti-Telecommunication Network Fraud Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC).

As a "small-cut" special legislation, the anti-telecommunication network fraud law, on the basis of summing up the experience of anti-fraud, focuses on strengthening the construction of preventive legal system, increasing the punishment for illegal criminals, and promoting the formation of a control pattern of anti-fraud, anti-fraud in the whole chain, anti-fraud in the whole industry and anti-fraud in the whole society.

Netizens have received rave reviews. "Internet life needs this sense of security."

Many people have seen the online rumor that "dead birds spread monkeypox virus" and "Huoxiang Zhengqi water can prevent heatstroke". Some online rumors with "nose and eyes" are hard to distinguish between true and false, and many people have been fooled.

On April 19, 2016, at the symposium on network security and informatization, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized: "Those who run websites should not blindly pursue click-through rates, those who open online stores should guard against counterfeiting, and those who do social platforms should not become rumor spreaders, and those who do search should not be ranked only by the amount of money."

In response to the "various" online rumors, recently, the Central Network Information Office launched a nationwide special campaign to "clear and crack down on online rumors and false information".

The special action will improve and perfect the rumor mechanism. This mechanism studies and improves the algorithm recommendation rules, and accurately pushes relevant rumor information to users who have been exposed to rumors and false information to improve the rumor effect.

The "big move" to improve network security is not limited to this.

On June 1, 2022, the cyber security law was officially implemented for the fifth anniversary. This basic law in the field of network security clearly stipulates the protection of personal information, the control of network fraud, the protection of key information infrastructure and real-name registration system, which has become an important milestone in the construction of cyberspace rule of law in China.

In view of the rampant black industrial chain of the Internet and the high incidence of network-related crimes, the "Net Net" action thunderstruck …

In order to make people feel more at ease online, China has built a firewall for network security from multiple dimensions.

Scan code to get small gifts, "bargain" for free goods, and "surfing the Internet" can save traffic … Behind these behaviors, there may be hidden crises.

Maintaining network security is inseparable from the active participation and initiative of every netizen.

Since 2014, China has held the National Cyber Security Publicity Week for nine consecutive years, which has effectively promoted the promotion of cyber security awareness and protection skills of the whole society; All kinds of network security publicity, so that netizens can master the corresponding network security skills; Online and offline online cyber security Expo theme exhibition, people can learn about new products and demonstration applications …

Network security awareness should always be "online", and surfing the Internet can be more secure.

The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that it is necessary to adhere to the integrated development of cyber security education, technology and industry, and form a benign ecology of talent training, technological innovation and industrial development.

In recent years, China has not only built an effective network security system, but also taken a series of measures to promote the training of network security talents.

The Opinions on Strengthening the Discipline Construction and Personnel Training of Cyber Security was issued, and a first-class discipline of Cyberspace Security was established, and a demonstration project for the construction of a first-class cyber security college was implemented.

As of June this year, more than 60 universities in China have set up cyber security colleges, and more than 200 universities have set up cyber security undergraduate majors, with more than 20,000 cyber security graduates each year.

We will build a national network security talent and innovation base, promote the agglomeration and development of network security industry, and make breakthroughs in network security core technologies … Under the concerted efforts of all parties, the co-governance and co-construction of network security is getting better and better.

Network security is for people, and network security depends on people. Together, we will build a network security defense line, and the people’s sense of acquisition, happiness and security in cyberspace will continue to improve.

How do small-scale taxpayers who declare monthly enjoy the VAT reduction and exemption policy? Put away this article.

In order to facilitate taxpayers and grass-roots tax authorities to check the answers to relevant policies, the State Administration of Taxation has comprehensively sorted out and confirmed the questions and answers issued by the State Administration of Taxation from January 2019 to July 2024, and compiled and formed a series of tax and fee support policies since 2019 covering 294 current effective answers in 34 topics in 8 categories.Today, I understand the relevant questions and answers about the VAT reduction and exemption policy for small-scale taxpayers.

[Question 1] I am a small decoration company, and I am a small-scale VAT taxpayer who declares on a monthly basis, so I can apply the differential taxation policy for subcontracting of construction services. Excuse me, is the monthly sales of small-scale taxpayers exempted from VAT judged before or after the difference?

A:Judging by the sales after the difference. The Announcement of State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China on the Collection and Management of VAT Reduction and Exemption Policies for Small-scale Taxpayers (State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China Announcement No.1, 2023) stipulates that small-scale taxpayers who apply the VAT differential taxation policy can determine whether the above-mentioned VAT exemption policy can be implemented based on the sales after the difference. Therefore, if the construction services provided by your company can be deducted by the difference according to the regulations, whether the above-mentioned small-scale taxpayers are exempted from value-added tax policy can be determined by the sales after the difference.

[Question 2] Our company is a small-scale VAT taxpayer who declares monthly. On January 6, 2023, we transferred a store. After excluding the sales of the transferred store, it is estimated that the sales in January will be less than 100,000 yuan, and all of them will be invoiced. Can our company enjoy the VAT exemption policy? What should we pay attention to when declaring?

A:Article 1 of State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China’s Announcement on the Collection and Management of Small-scale VAT Taxpayers’ Exemption and Exemption Policies (No.1 in 2023) stipulates that if small-scale taxpayers engage in VAT taxable sales, and their total monthly sales exceed 100,000 yuan, but after deducting the sales of real estate that occurred in this period, they do not exceed 100,000 yuan, their sales of goods, services and intangible assets will be exempted from VAT. When your company handles the VAT tax return for the January tax period, you should accurately enter the data of "Sales of Real Estate in Current Period" in the reporting interface of VAT and Additional Taxes (for small-scale taxpayers), and the system will automatically calculate the current sales after deducting the sales of real estate. If the sales after deduction does not exceed 100,000 yuan, you can enjoy the VAT exemption policy. When handling the tax declaration, the deducted sales should be filled in the relevant column of "VAT and Additional Taxes and Fees Declaration Form (applicable to small-scale taxpayers)".

[Question 3] I am a small-scale VAT taxpayer who declares on a monthly basis. In August 2023, I issued an ordinary VAT invoice with a 3% collection rate for my customers. If the actual monthly sales do not exceed 100,000 yuan, can I enjoy the preferential tax-free policy?

A:Article 1 of the Announcement of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on the Reduction and Exemption of VAT for Small-scale VAT Taxpayers (No.19, 2023) stipulates that small-scale VAT taxpayers with monthly sales of less than 100,000 yuan (inclusive) shall be exempted from VAT. If your monthly sales do not exceed 100,000 yuan, you can directly declare tax exemption when you declare tax, and enjoy the policy of exemption from value-added tax.

[Question 4] Our company is a small-scale VAT taxpayer who declares monthly. In September 2023, it is estimated that the income from selling goods will be 200,000 yuan. What tax reduction and exemption policy can we enjoy and how to issue VAT invoices?

A:Article 2 of the Announcement of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on the Reduction and Exemption of VAT for Small-scale VAT Taxpayers (No.19, 2023) stipulates that small-scale VAT taxpayers shall apply taxable sales income at a rate of 3%, and the VAT shall be levied at a reduced rate of 1%. Article 5 of the Announcement of State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China on the Collection and Management of Small-scale VAT Taxpayers’ Reduction and Exemption of VAT and Other Policies (No.1 in 2023) stipulates that if small-scale taxpayers obtain taxable sales income and apply the policy of collecting VAT at a reduced rate of 1%, they should issue VAT invoices at a rate of 1%. Therefore, your income from selling goods in September was 200,000 yuan, and you can apply the policy of collecting VAT at a reduced rate of 1%, and issue special VAT invoices or ordinary VAT invoices at a rate of 1%.

[Question 5] I am a catering company. I am a small-scale taxpayer who declares value-added tax on a monthly basis. On August 25th, 2023, I issued an ordinary VAT invoice with a rate of 3% of 20,000 yuan for my customers. The actual monthly sales in August was 150,000 yuan, all of which were sales revenue at 3% levy rate. Our customers were individuals and could not recover the invoices already issued. Can our company still enjoy the policy of 3% levy rate sales revenue minus 1% levy rate for VAT?

A:Article 2 of the Announcement of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on the Reduction and Exemption of VAT for Small-scale VAT Taxpayers (No.19, 2023) stipulates that small-scale VAT taxpayers shall apply taxable sales income at a rate of 3%, and the VAT shall be levied at a reduced rate of 1%. Your sales income of 3% tax rate is 150,000 yuan, you can directly declare tax reduction when you declare tax payment, and you can enjoy the policy of 3% tax rate sales income minus 1% tax rate. In order to reduce your tax burden, there is no need to void or change the ordinary VAT invoice with 3% levy rate. However, it should be noted that, according to the Measures for the Administration of Invoices in People’s Republic of China (PRC) and other relevant regulations, taxpayers should issue invoices truthfully. Article 5 of the Announcement of State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China on the Collection and Management of Small-scale VAT Taxpayers’ Reduction and Exemption of VAT and Other Policies (No.1 in 2023) stipulates that if small-scale taxpayers obtain taxable sales income and apply the policy of collecting VAT at a reduced rate of 1%, they should issue VAT invoices at a rate of 1%. Therefore, in the future, when you enjoy the policy of 3% levy rate for sales revenue minus 1% levy rate for VAT, if you need to issue an ordinary VAT invoice, you should issue it at 1% levy rate.

[Question 6] Our company is a small-scale VAT taxpayer who retails motorcycles. In August 2023, the sales volume was 90,000 yuan. When invoicing customers, it was impossible to confirm whether the sales volume this month would exceed 100,000 yuan, and a unified invoice for motor vehicle sales with a 1% levy rate was issued. Can I still enjoy the tax exemption policy for monthly sales below 100,000 yuan? My individual customers are general VAT taxpayers, can I deduct the input tax?

A:Article 1 of the Announcement of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on the Reduction and Exemption of VAT for Small-scale VAT Taxpayers (No.19, 2023) stipulates that small-scale VAT taxpayers with monthly sales of less than 100,000 yuan (inclusive) shall be exempted from VAT. If your monthly sales do not exceed 100,000 yuan, you can directly declare tax exemption when you declare tax payment, and enjoy the policy of exemption from value-added tax. If your customer is a general taxpayer, you can deduct the corresponding input tax on the basis of the unified invoice for motor vehicle sales with 1% levy rate.

[Question 7] Our company is a small-scale VAT taxpayer who retails motorcycles, with a monthly sales of about 100,000 yuan. When invoicing customers in the middle of the month, it is impossible to confirm whether I can enjoy the tax exemption policy with a monthly sales of less than 100,000 yuan this month. How can I issue a unified invoice for motor vehicle sales if I want to enjoy the preferential policies of small-scale taxpayers?

A:Announcement of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on the Policy of Reducing and Exempting VAT for Small-scale VAT Taxpayers (No.19, 2023) stipulates that small-scale VAT taxpayers with monthly sales of less than 100,000 yuan (inclusive) shall be exempted from VAT. Small-scale taxpayers of value-added tax are subject to taxable sales income at a rate of 3%, and value-added tax is levied at a reduced rate of 1%. When you invoice in the middle of the month, you don’t know whether the sales will exceed 100,000 yuan and whether you can enjoy the tax exemption policy. You should first issue a unified invoice for motor vehicle sales at the rate of 1%. When declaring tax, if the monthly sales amount does not exceed 100,000 yuan, you can declare tax exemption when declaring tax. If the monthly sales amount exceeds 100,000 yuan, you can declare and pay VAT at a reduced rate of 1%.

[Question 8] I am a small-scale taxpayer engaged in motorcycle sales, and my monthly sales amount is less than 100,000 yuan. Can I still issue a special tax-free VAT invoice?

[Question 9] I am a small-scale VAT taxpayer who declares monthly, and my monthly sales amount is about 100,000 yuan, but I can’t confirm whether my total income will exceed 100,000 yuan when I invoice my customers. How can I invoice if I want to enjoy the preferential policies for small-scale taxpayers?

When declaring tax, if the monthly sales amount does not exceed 100,000 yuan, you can declare tax exemption when declaring tax. If the monthly sales amount exceeds 100,000 yuan, you can declare and pay VAT at a reduced rate of 1%.

[Question 10] I am a small-scale VAT taxpayer who declares on a monthly basis. In May 2023, I issued an ordinary VAT invoice at a rate of 3% according to my custom. If the actual monthly sales do not exceed 100,000 yuan, can I enjoy the preferential tax-free policy?

According to the regulations, the policy of 3% minus 1% levy rate can be applied. How should I apply for the VAT tax declaration of January tax?

A:Article 7 of the Announcement of State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China on the Collection and Management of Small-scale VAT Taxpayers (No.1, 2023) stipulates that taxpayers are subject to VAT at a reduced rate of 1% in accordance with the Announcement of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on Defining the Policies of Small-scale VAT Taxpayers’ Reduction and Exemption (No.1, 2023).

Excuse me, can our company enjoy the VAT exemption policy for small-scale taxpayers with monthly sales below 100,000 yuan?
