Recently, in accordance with the requirements of the educational activities on the theme of "Do not forget your initiative mind, Keep in mind the mission", the main responsible comrades of the Law and Regulation Department led a team of four people to form a research group to carry out special investigations on the supervision of grassroots markets in Hanzhong City and Ankang City, Shaanxi Province. The investigation is now reported as follows:
First, investigate the basic situation
In order to fully understand the establishment and operation of grass-roots market supervision institutions, the research team held forums in Hanzhong City and Ankang City respectively by combining discussion and investigation, and had discussions and exchanges with more than 30 directors of market supervision institutions and responsible comrades of legal institutions of grass-roots market supervision departments; He also visited three city and township market supervision offices to carry out field research, listened to the opinions and suggestions of grassroots comrades on the legal orientation and functional orientation of market supervision offices, and learned about the law enforcement and rule of law construction of grassroots market supervision.
Second, the situation of grassroots market supervision institutions in Shaanxi Province
The research team learned that after the reform of the market supervision system was initiated in Shaanxi Province in 2015, according to the requirements of the documents of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, market supervision bureaus were established in all counties and districts, which integrated the responsibilities of industry and commerce, quality inspection, salt affairs and food and drug supervision departments. There were different forms of market supervision institutions at the township level. In some areas, industrial and commercial offices and township food and drug supervision offices managed by districts were still retained, and in some areas, market supervision offices were established by "merging into one". Some market supervision offices are still dispatched by county bureaus, and some have been managed by township governments.
Hanzhong, visited by the survey, has a total area of 27,200 square kilometers and a permanent population of 3.86 million. After the institutional reform in 2015, 11 counties and districts in the city successively established county-level market supervision administrations (with the brand of Food and Drug Administration). In February 2019, the original functions of industry and commerce, quality supervision, food and drug supervision, salt affairs, price supervision and intellectual property rights, and cracking down on counterfeit and shoddy goods were integrated at the municipal level, and the Hanzhong Municipal Market Supervision Bureau was established. The 11 county and district market supervision bureaus were basically reformed before the end of June. At present, there are 178 market supervision offices (with food and drug supervision offices) in the city. Except for 52 offices in Chenggu and Lueyang counties, the remaining 126 offices have been placed under the management of towns (street offices). There are 2590 people in the city’s market supervision system, including 1154 people in the market supervision office.
Ankang, visited by the survey, has a total area of 23,500 square kilometers and a permanent population of 2,668,900. In January 2019, the original functions of industry and commerce, quality supervision, food and drug supervision, salt affairs, price supervision and intellectual property rights were integrated at the municipal level, and the Ankang Municipal Market Supervision Bureau was established. There are 11 county and district market supervision administrations and 138 township market supervision offices in the city. Except for 4 agencies in Hanbin District, which are dispatched by Hanbin District Market Supervision Bureau, the rest have been placed under the management of towns (street offices). There are 1520 market supervision departments in the city, including 694 market supervision offices.
Third, the problems found in the investigation
(A) the grass-roots market supervision and law enforcement power is seriously inadequate.
After the institutional reform, the supervision and law enforcement power of the market supervision office has not been effectively supplemented according to the requirements of the transfer of functions and the follow-up of people, resulting in a serious mismatch between the supervision power and the supervision function, the law enforcement is not in place, and the supervision function is empty, which has brought great risks and hidden dangers. The main manifestations are as follows: First, there is a serious mismatch between the regulatory power and the regulatory function. Before the institutional reform, the former Quality Supervision Bureau, Salt Bureau, Price Supervision Bureau, Intellectual Property Department and other departments did not have offices at the grassroots level. At present, most market supervision offices are established after the integration of the former industrial and commercial and food and drug supervision offices, and their functions include administrative licensing matters such as issuing certificates and licenses, and full-scale supervision of the former industrial and commercial, quality supervision, food and drug, price, etc., as well as various market inspections, special rectification, consumer complaints, law enforcement inspections, statistical reports and so on. However, at the same time, law enforcement personnel have not been supplemented accordingly. Many supervision institutions only have 2 to 4 people, and receive 2 to 3 documents issued by superiors every day on average, which makes some supervision work become a mere formality, focusing only on work marks and not on actual work. Coupled with the continuous and strict accountability, law enforcement officers in some places have a fear of being unwilling and afraid to enforce the law. The absence of grass-roots supervision power also leads to a large backlog of work in the county bureau, which affects the performance of the county bureau’s work responsibilities. Second, the professionalism of grassroots supervisors needs to be improved. There is a general lack of professional knowledge and technical personnel in the fields of food and medicine, medical equipment, special equipment, standard measurement, etc., and it is difficult to deal with slightly complicated cases. It is often the case that the documents issued by the county and district bureaus to the town (street office) are not implemented.The person who receives the document does not know the business, and the person who knows the business is not on the job or has been going to the countryside for a long time.
(2) The phenomenon of brain drain and deviation from the main business is serious.
Comrades at the grassroots level generally reported that after the market supervision office was placed under the management of the town (street office), the focus of work shifted, and even the government decrees were not smooth, and some important supervision tasks could not be implemented, which further weakened the market supervision and law enforcement force that was already in serious shortage, and the grassroots supervision ability declined, and the "last mile" of market supervision was neglected. First, after some town (street office) market supervision offices were placed under the management of town offices, market supervision personnel, especially young effective forces and professional law enforcement backbones, were transferred or misappropriated to complete government work, resulting in a serious loss. Some supervisors come from other departments of the town (office) government, have no law enforcement experience and qualification, and can only engage in law enforcement work in the name of others, which poses great legal risks. According to statistics, as of the end of 2018, among the 288 township (street office) market supervision offices in Hanzhong City, only 45% were on the job. Second, the market supervision office has to accept various tasks assigned by the town (street office). In addition to undertaking normal market supervision work, it is also engaged in a large number of town (office) work, including securing villages, demolition, creating health facilities, assisting in handling letters and visits, banning straw burning, flood control, environmental protection, etc. The focus of work is mainly on township work, and in some areas, township work even accounts for 80% of grass-roots work, and the directors of some township offices also serve as poor villages. For example, a township market supervision office in Ankang visited by the research team has only two offices, and there is an administrative license acceptance window in the government service hall, with only one cadre on duty.It is simply impossible to undertake heavy market supervision and law enforcement work.
The research team learned that individual market supervision offices, which are still dispatched by county-level market supervision departments, are facing serious pressures and problems after institutional reform, but due to the relatively stable law enforcement personnel, clear supervision responsibilities, smooth uploading and distribution, and good implementation of grassroots tasks, market supervision work has been carried out in an orderly manner in the past year.
(3) The number of law enforcement cases dropped sharply.
The research team learned that the number of law enforcement cases handled by the market supervision institute has dropped significantly, and even zero cases have been handled every year, exposing a large number of regulatory risks and hidden dangers. According to statistics, the number of law enforcement cases handled by most market supervision offices in transferred towns (street offices) has decreased by about half compared with that before 2015, and in some areas it is less than one-third before the transfer. For example, in Hanzhong City, before 2015, the town (street office) supervision office, as the dispatched office of the county bureau, was basically able to focus on supervision, and the supervision and law enforcement were in place. In 2015, various management offices investigated and handled 798 cases of various types, which declined year by year after being transferred to the town (street office) management, and only 200 cases were handled by most supervision offices in 2018. In the first half of this year, after the functional integration, the number of food and drug illegal cases investigated and handled also decreased by 43% compared with the same period last year.
(four) the identity of law enforcement personnel is different, and the people’s hearts are unstable.
Most of the supervision offices managed by towns (street offices) are public institutions, and the staffing of law enforcement personnel in the offices is different. The former industrial and commercial law enforcement personnel are mostly administrative, while the food and drug law enforcement personnel are basically career-oriented. In addition, some quality supervision law enforcement personnel are prepared for the public service, and a large number of law enforcement tasks such as price and salt affairs are diligent. After the combination, there are few administrative personnel and many career-oriented personnel, especially those who are diligent, accounting for a large proportion. Due to the different identities of personnel, especially the establishment of some self-supporting undertakings, the employees are paid differently for equal work, which greatly affects the enthusiasm of grassroots personnel in law enforcement and case handling.
(E) inadequate protection has affected the effectiveness of supervision and law enforcement.
Grassroots comrades reported that many market supervision offices, especially those under the management of towns (street offices), are seriously short of office funds. There is a big gap between the office space of some supervision offices and the requirements for standardized construction of grassroots supervision offices issued by the General Administration. However, in some areas, staffing, vehicle establishment, and law enforcement fund guarantee are not allocated according to the standards of administrative law enforcement units, but related resources are allocated according to management units, so the gap between law enforcement work guarantee and work needs is extremely large, and the construction of law enforcement teams is seriously lagging behind. For example, there are 8 state-level poverty-stricken counties in 11 counties in Hanzhong City, with poor economic foundation, and a large gap in law enforcement funds, law enforcement vehicles, law enforcement recorders, rapid inspection and testing equipment, which cannot meet the needs of supervision and law enforcement, seriously restricting the improvement of supervision efficiency.
Fourth, thinking and suggestions
(A) Analysis of the legal orientation and functional orientation of the market supervision office
According to the spirit of the central document, the Plan for Deepening the Reform of the Party and State Institutions adopted at the Third Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee in communist party, China stipulates that "the law enforcement responsibilities and teams of industry and commerce, quality inspection, food, medicines, prices, trademarks and patents should be integrated to form a comprehensive law enforcement team for market supervision. Guided by the State Administration of Market Supervision. Encourage local governments to integrate other law enforcement teams that go directly to the market and enter enterprises, face the grassroots and face the people, such as business law enforcement and salt law enforcement, into the comprehensive law enforcement team of market supervision. " The Guiding Opinions on Deepening the Reform of Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement of Market Supervision issued by the General Offices of the General Office of the Central Committee of the CPC and the State Council on November 26, 2018 pointed out that "integrate the strength and resources of stations in towns (streets) in the field of market supervision, set up a unified comprehensive administrative law enforcement team for market supervision, be responsible for basic supervision, and exercise the power of administrative punishment according to law. As an agency of the county (city, district) market supervision bureau, the county (city, district) market supervision bureau will take charge of it. To make provisions on the functional orientation and work affiliation of the comprehensive law enforcement team of market supervision.
According to the provisions of laws and regulations, according to the relevant provisions of the Administrative Licensing Law and the Administrative Punishment Law, for example, the market supervision office, as an agency of the county-level market supervision department, can directly exercise the market supervision function according to law. If the market supervision office is placed under the management of the town (street office), there are three ways to realize the statutory authority. First, it is authorized by laws and administrative regulations; Second, with the approval of the State Council, the people’s governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government decide an administrative organ to exercise the administrative licensing power of the relevant administrative organs; The State Council or the people’s governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government authorized by the State Council decide that an administrative organ shall exercise the administrative punishment power of the relevant administrative organs; Third, it is entrusted by the county-level market supervision department to exercise its functions and powers (administrative license can be entrusted to other administrative organs, and administrative punishment can be entrusted to legally established institutions that manage public affairs). At present, most transfer offices in Shaanxi adopt the third way. As a public institution, they are entrusted by the county market supervision bureau to exercise part of their functions and powers, and the county market supervision bureau bears legal responsibility for the consequences of their actions, resulting in a mismatch between rights and responsibilities to a certain extent.
Judging from the practice of law enforcement at the grass-roots level, the southern part of Shaanxi Province, which was investigated this time, was mainly transferred to market supervision offices managed by towns (street offices). These market supervision offices generally deviated from the main business of supervision, weak law enforcement power and insufficient professional ability, which had a great impact on law enforcement and case handling. The career development of market supervision cadres also faced many uncertainties, which affected the development of market supervision and law enforcement and the maintenance of market order to a certain extent.
(B) Suggestions on further strengthening the construction of grass-roots market supervision institutions
The market supervision department undertakes the daily supervision and administrative law enforcement functions in the fields of industry and commerce, quality inspection, food, medicine, price and intellectual property rights, and is equivalent to the "police" in the economic field. Whether the market supervision responsibility can be fulfilled in place is directly related to the well-being of the people. Grass-roots market supervision institutions are the tentacles and nerve endings of market supervision departments, and whether their functions can be fully exerted directly affects the performance of market supervision functions. Comrades at the grassroots level reported that the law enforcement power of the county market supervision bureau is relatively weak, and the law enforcement field in the jurisdiction is wide and the jurisdiction area is large, so it is impossible to achieve comprehensive and effective supervision, especially in the areas where food, drugs and special equipment are supervised in the whole process. Extending to the grassroots level with the help of dispatched agencies is an important means to improve the supervision efficiency. Grassroots people also generally believe that it is necessary to set up a market supervision office around them, so that the people can feel more at ease, at ease and at ease, which is conducive to timely accepting and solving complaints and reports from the masses, discovering problems in the market, protecting consumers’ rights and interests, and safeguarding the vital interests of the people. Therefore, it is suggested to further consolidate and strengthen the power of grassroots market supervision institutions. First, further research and demonstration should be carried out to identify the difficulties and pain points in the work of grass-roots market regulators, find out the root causes of the problems and study effective solutions. Second, combined with the problems found in the investigation, in accordance with the instructions of the leaders of the General Administration, clarify the legal position of the market supervision office, refine its work responsibilities, actively coordinate with the legislature, promote the formulation of the Regulations on Market Supervision Office, solidify it at the administrative regulations level, and promote the work of the market supervision office to get on the right track as soon as possible. Third, strengthen basic infrastructure,Enrich the grassroots market supervision and law enforcement team, increase training, accelerate the cultivation of specialized market supervision and law enforcement cadres, strengthen the funding and hardware guarantee of grassroots market supervision institutions, and improve the level of informationization.

Core reading
In Spring Festival travel rush this year, the new features and highlights are worth paying attention to: the mobile phone is more and more convenient to buy tickets, the railway extends its services to the outside of the railway station, and the sharing economy opens up the "last mile" of Spring Festival travel rush, and so on. At the same time, there are still some pain points in big data display. How to make middle-aged and high-aged people adapt to the mobile network era faster? How to standardize the market order while introducing the mobile Internet? How to strengthen the credit constraint of practitioners under the background of active sharing economy? Our reporter interviewed relevant issues.
Spring Festival travel rush is about to enter the peak period, and the Ministry of Transport, the National Development and Reform Commission and China Railway Corporation have joined hands with the Internet platform to release Spring Festival travel rush Big Data.
Spring Festival travel rush Big Data reflects the great changes in travel and indicates the general trend of the market. Careful analysis of the big data of Spring Festival travel rush in the Year of the Rooster shows that there are really many "golden eggs".
Silver hair market needs attention
People over 50 pay more attention to Spring Festival travel rush.
Who is most concerned about Spring Festival travel rush? According to the data report jointly released by Tiezong and today’s headlines, people over 50 pay more attention to Spring Festival travel rush than other age groups. This result is different from the general impression of society. People seem to be more inclined to think that scholars and employees who go out are the main causes of Spring Festival travel rush, and people over 50 are obviously not the main force of these two groups.
Why do middle-aged and elderly people pay more attention to Spring Festival travel rush? Some experts have analyzed, "Middle-aged and high-aged people generally choose traditional and economical ways to travel, and rarely adopt new ways like carpooling and renting cars. Trains are the best choice. The technical threshold also makes them a more vulnerable group. "
Liu Fengjun, the 55-year-old Yueyue, confirmed this. Liu Fengjun just learned to use the 12306 official APP to buy tickets last year, and he is completely layman to the ticketing software. Out of the train station, I also took public transportation, and I didn’t know much about carpooling and special cars. "I’m going to my niece’s house for the New Year. I have to bring seafood and sauerkraut. I can’t express them. It’s inconvenient to catch the train in a big bag. It’s good to have someone to help me send the new year’s goods." Liu Fengjun’s voice also represents some middle-aged and elderly people.
In addition, experts also said that in addition to people traveling, middle-aged and elderly people who stay at home are also paying attention to Spring Festival travel rush. Spring Festival travel rush’s destination is more "home", and Spring Festival travel rush’s road is the way home. Parents pay attention to Spring Festival travel rush, expecting their children to return, which is the best New Year gift they expect to receive. This part of the middle-aged and elderly people will care about their children’s home date and mode of travel, and care more about the safety and comfort of the journey. They will contribute more details to Spring Festival travel rush’s reading data.
Experts believe that big data allows us to see more social mentality, and also allows us to realize the more subdivided needs of different groups in Spring Festival travel rush. Whether it is business support or public services, we can make more accurate efforts according to the data results.
Internet service to be standardized
Railway network tickets account for 70%
Big data shows that the Internet has become the largest channel for Spring Festival travel rush to purchase tickets. The proportion of railway internet ticket purchase in all ticket purchases has increased from about 1/3 in 2013 to 73.1% in 2017, of which mobile phones account for 66%. While enjoying the convenience brought by the Internet, passengers have also encountered many embarrassments.
The ticketing software is the first star to catch fire in Spring Festival travel rush in the Year of the Rooster. "In the past, the ticketing software was free, but this year it will be charged. Tickets are only available in 200 yuan, but the ticketing software has to increase the price of 62 yuan. " Xiao Lu, who works in Beijing, downloaded the Zhixing train ticket APP in order to buy two tickets for the K148 hard sleeper train returning to Beijing from her hometown in Bozhou on February 2, and successively purchased the priority ticket and VIP express channel, deducting the package fee of 62 yuan. "I bought the ticket, but I was depressed. If we connive at the continued development of this paid ticketing software, will we not be able to buy train tickets without increasing the price? "
According to the latest survey of China Youth Newspaper Social Investigation Center, 45.9% of the respondents think that paying for tickets is not a reasonable way to buy tickets, and 30.7% of the respondents think it is reasonable. 60.3% of the respondents believe that the ticketing software is a disguised "network scalper".
Not only is the ticketing software lacking supervision, but also phishing websites, virus software and fraudulent QR codes under the cover of ticketing services have compromised the security of Internet services.
Connection service is valued.
Practitioners’ integrity needs hard leverage
"Spring Festival travel rush this year, we put ‘ Mengjing Express Line ’ The service extended to the K7911/2 passenger train from Hohhot to Ejina, and combined with major hospitals in Baotou, Hohhot and even Beijing, it opened up the ‘ The last mile ’ 。” Guo Jie, the general branch secretary of Hujing Team in Baotou Passenger Transport Section, said that many passengers will return to their hometowns after seeing illness before the Spring Festival, but they need special care because of their poor physical strength after surgery. Therefore, "Mengjing Express" will provide passengers with full services such as purchasing, ordering, contacting 120 and wheelchair transfer, so that everyone can go home for the New Year in a practical and comfortable way.
Extending the service to the outside of the railway station has become the service highlight of Spring Festival travel rush Railway this year. It is not only the railway that attaches importance to the connection service. The "last mile" is changing from the "pain point" of Spring Festival travel rush to the breakthrough point of sharing economy. According to the big data released by Didi Chuxing, Spring Festival travel rush will transport about 8.4 million passengers by cross-city hitchhiking this year, which is close to 12% of the national railway passenger traffic during Spring Festival travel rush. Ctrip’s special car shuttle big data forecast, special car shuttle has also become a popular tool for connecting passengers in megacities, and the airport shuttle reservation orders in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Sanya are even higher.
"There are more choices now, and the freedom of choosing carpooling, special car, hitchhiking, time and way to go home is much higher." Ms. Wang, a Wuhan native who works in Shanghai, said that the vigorous development of the sharing economy has made the road to Spring Festival travel rush more convenient for ordinary people.
I’m not at home for the holidays this year
Demand for travel and leisure has reached a new high.
"The older generation said that they would stay at home for the New Year, but their sons and daughters-in-law booked the air tickets and hotels for leaving the country early." Ms. Wang, a Beijinger, will spend the Spring Festival in Thailand this year. In her "circle of friends", the notice of "returning to Beijing in the early morning of the third day, let’s get together again in the fourth day" was also aired early. "Children are too busy at work at ordinary times, and it is rare to have time to accompany us. Traveling for the New Year, I experienced the exotic customs. Anyway, my children and grandchildren are around, and everywhere is reunion! "
"The world is so big, take your parents and children to see it together." The 7-day Spring Festival holiday is becoming a golden week for more and more office workers to travel abroad, and tourism for the New Year is gradually accepted by more people.
According to big data, the demand for public travel during Spring Festival travel rush will reach a new high due to the promotion of consumption concept, the convenience of visas and the increase of routes.
Look at the outbound tour first. In the Spring Festival of 2016, the number of outbound tourists was close to 6 million. According to the data of the donkey mother platform, compared with two years ago, the number of outbound tourists in the Spring Festival of 2017 is expected to nearly double, and the number of tourists who spend New Year’s Eve overseas is 2.6 times.
Look at the domestic line again. "Going south to avoid the cold" and "going north to enjoy the snow" are the two major themes of domestic travel during the Spring Festival. Big data shows that domestic tourist destinations with large tourist flows are Harbin, Sanya, Xiamen, Kunming and Guangzhou.
"Gaining Sense" from Big Data Perspective (Short Comment)
Near the New Year’s Eve, there was a young man from Hunan who worked in Beijing. He felt that Spring Festival travel rush’s way home had made him "gain the strongest sense" in recent years. "I used to buy a hard seat ticket, but now I have changed to a high-speed train, and the time has been shortened by half."
The change of Spring Festival travel rush is by no means an individual feeling. Judging from the 2017 Spring Festival travel rush Big Data released by various research institutions, Spring Festival travel rush is undergoing a gorgeous transformation: from being satisfied with "walking" to pursuing "walking fast", from caring about price to attaching importance to comfort, from asking people to buy tickets to carpooling freely … … The evolution of Spring Festival travel rush’s way home reflects the vitality of China’s economic transformation and upgrading.
Behind the shorter and faster Spring Festival travel rush Road is the improvement of traffic structure and the improvement of transportation services. The mainstream is more accessible, the tributaries are smoother, and the comprehensive transportation system is constantly improving, which is making up the traditional shortcomings and service depressions in Spring Festival travel rush, and speeding up the return road. Behind the more convenient and comfortable Spring Festival travel rush Road is the vitality of scientific and technological innovation and the contribution of sharing economy. The continuous emergence of new products, new technologies and new formats is integrating Internet genes into the traditional transportation service industry, making Spring Festival travel rush, a "arduous task" that people have long called hard, turn into a "market cake" with unanimous optimistic capital. Spring Festival travel rush Road is more expensive and hotter, and it is also the upgrading of people’s consumption and the prosperity of leisure industry. Spring Festival travel rush no longer only serves "going home", and the demand for public travel has hit record highs. With a bulging purse and enough time, Chinese’s consumption desire is stronger and its consumption level is higher.
When we pay attention to the big data of Spring Festival travel rush with nearly 3 billion people flowing, what we see is not only the largest migration map in the world, but also a navigation map to guide the world economy out of the predicament and boost the confidence of global development.
[authoritative interview]
Guangming Daily reporter zhang yi
This year is a year of special importance in the process of China’s modernization, and it is also the first year of the 14 th Five-Year Plan. The Central Economic Work Conference, when deploying the key work in 2021, emphasized that it should adhere to the strategic base of expanding domestic demand. In the face of profound and complex changes in the development environment, how to get through the blocking points and fill the shortcomings, and form a higher level dynamic balance between demand traction supply and supply creation demand? How can consumption run out of the "acceleration" when expanding domestic demand? Wei Wang, director of the Institute of Market Economy of the State Council Development Research Center, was interviewed by reporters and made an authoritative interpretation.
The core requirement of expanding domestic demand and building a new development pattern
Reporter: This year is the first year of the 14 th Five-Year Plan. What kind of internal and external environment does China’s economic development face? What is the important role of adhering to the strategic basis of expanding domestic demand?
Wei Wang:In the face of the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, China’s economy has shown strong resilience. In 2020, the gross domestic product (GDP) exceeded 100 billion yuan for the first time, an increase of 2.3% over the previous year. It is the only major economy in the world that maintains positive growth. At present, the factors supporting China’s economic growth are undergoing profound changes. On the one hand, due to the impact of the epidemic, the global economic recession is prominent and the trade friction is intensifying, which makes China’s economic development face severe external environmental challenges. On the other hand, the driving force of demand for economic growth is shifting from investment to consumption and innovation. In particular, China has a super-large-scale market advantage of 1.4 billion people, and strong domestic demand will become a solid foundation for promoting China’s sustained and stable economic growth.
The Central Economic Work Conference emphasized that adhering to the strategic basis of expanding domestic demand is the core requirement for building a new development pattern. Insisting on expanding domestic demand, accelerating the cultivation of new consumption, and further giving play to the basic role of consumption and the key role of investment are conducive to unblocking the domestic macro-cycle, alleviating risks and hedging external pressures, eliminating the risk aversion of enterprises, boosting development confidence, strengthening development resilience, expanding room for manoeuvre, improving self-adjustment ability, and realizing more full economies of scale, scope and network.
It is worth noting that at present, the expansion of China’s domestic demand and its promotion of economic growth are mainly driven by the continuous upgrading of consumption structure and consumption innovation promoted by new technologies, and there has been a new trend of upgrading and expanding, a new pattern of stratification and differentiation, and a series of new consumption that is different from the past has emerged, which has become a new kinetic energy and new growth point for promoting economic growth. Insisting on expanding domestic demand and promoting consumption in an all-round way is an important measure to conform to people’s yearning for a better life, which is conducive to making up for the shortcomings of high-end commodity consumption and education, housing, medical care and other services consumption, meeting people’s practical needs for better quality goods, better education, more comfortable living conditions, higher-level medical and health services, richer spiritual and cultural life, enhancing their sense of acquisition and happiness, and promoting people’s all-round development.
Innovation accelerates, and three positive factors promote consumption to accelerate recovery.
Reporter: According to the consumption data, the total retail sales of social consumer goods in 2020 was 39,198.1 billion yuan, down 3.9% from the previous year, and the decline was 3.3 percentage points narrower than that in the previous three quarters. How do you evaluate the situation of China’s consumer market in the past year?
Wei Wang:The outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic in early 2020 has brought a huge impact on China’s consumption. The recovery of consumption is first suppressed and then promoted, and the rigidity of consumption is prominent, and the recovery of consumption is gradual. Compared with the investment demand, consumption is more obviously affected by the epidemic situation, and the final consumption expenditure in the whole year pulls down GDP by 0.5 percentage points. However, with the major strategic achievements in epidemic prevention and control, the consumer market has gradually recovered, consumer demand has been continuously released, and the pulling effect of consumption on economic growth has rebounded quarter by quarter.
Although the epidemic has had a huge impact on China’s consumer market, it has also forced consumption innovation to accelerate, and new products, services and models have emerged at an accelerated pace, forming new consumption hotspots, which not only effectively promotes consumption recovery, but also becomes a new driving force for China’s economic recovery and growth. Online consumption has accelerated in an all-round way, and the "home economy" has accelerated the development of new consumption patterns, and the penetration rate has increased significantly. In 2020, the national online retail sales increased by 10.9% over the previous year, and the growth rate was 1.2 percentage points faster than the previous three quarters. Service consumption has migrated to online, and "contactless" service innovation has accelerated. During the epidemic, a series of "non-contact" services such as online education, medical care, entertainment, audio-visual and so on have exploded, and traditional services such as catering are also accelerating "touching the net". "Live broadcast with goods" has become a new bright spot, and innovation in marketing methods has emerged rapidly. The driving role of new consumption is prominent, and domestic consumption is growing strongly; Healthy consumption has become a new bright spot in the consumer market; New changes have taken place in holiday consumption; The return of consumption brings important opportunities for the recovery of the consumer market and the upgrading and expansion.
Reporter: From 2014 to 2019, consumption has become the first driving force for China’s economic growth for six consecutive years. What is the consumption prospect this year?
Wei Wang:Looking forward to 2021, three positive factors will accelerate the recovery of consumption. First, the development environment at home and abroad is expected to continue to improve. China effectively controlled the large-scale spread of the epidemic, and the economy took the lead in getting out of the impact and impact of the epidemic. The global economy has stepped into recovery. International organizations such as IMF (International Monetary Fund), World Bank, and OECD have recently lowered their global economic growth forecasts to 5.2%, 4%, and 4.2% next year, but they are still significantly higher than in 2020 (9.5, 5.9, and 8.4 percentage points higher, respectively). Secondly, the overall balance of supply and demand in the domestic market. The IMF predicts that the year-on-year growth rate of world CPI will be 3.4% and that of China will be 2.7% in 2021. While the global supply and demand pressure is rising, the supply and demand in China market will be relatively more stable. With the continuous improvement of the epidemic prevention and control mechanism and the improvement of the consumption environment, residents’ adaptability to getting along with the epidemic for a long time has been enhanced, and consumer confidence and willingness will rise steadily, which is conducive to the continuous improvement of market demand. Finally, the government insists on stabilizing employment and market players as priority areas for policy support, and the actual growth rate of residents’ income is expected to return to the growth track.
Generally speaking, with the expected improvement of global economic growth and the stable market environment, China’s macro-economy will continue to rebound steadily and the economic cycle will be smoother. On the basis of the low base in 2020, the total retail sales of social consumer goods is expected to increase by about 4%-5% in 2021, and the role of consumption in driving economic growth will be further strengthened.
Focus on breakthroughs to make the advantages of ultra-large-scale markets stronger.
Reporter: What do you think are the main "blocking points" and "pain points" for expanding domestic demand at present? How to smooth? How to further develop the advantages of China’s super-large market scale?
Wei Wang:Objectively speaking, although China has a super-large-scale market advantage, it is still not strong enough, and there is still some fragility. The release of consumption potential and the development of new consumption still face many institutional constraints, and the effective and high-end supply still lags behind. There are many shortcomings and weak links in infrastructure construction such as transportation, water conservancy, energy, public health, ecological environment protection, agriculture and rural areas, disaster prevention and mitigation, etc. The pace of accelerating institutional opening to the international advanced standards and improving the internationalization level of China’s market still needs to be accelerated and legalized.
In 2021, on the basis of adhering to the strategic basis of expanding domestic demand, economic work should organically combine comprehensively promoting consumption and enhancing investment stamina with deepening supply-side structural reform, pay attention to demand-side management, make effective institutional arrangements in rationally guiding consumption, savings and investment, open up blocking points, fill shortcomings, smooth the national economic cycle, accelerate the improvement of supply quality and improve the infrastructure conducive to the release of domestic demand, and promote the supply of goods and services from the low-end to the high-end, which is the "14 th Five-Year Plan"
The most fundamental thing to expand consumption is to promote employment and raise the real income level. On the basis of "six guarantees" and "six stabilities", we should improve the vocational and technical education system to achieve more full and higher quality employment and improve the income level of a wider class; At the same time, by speeding up the improvement of social security and the additional deduction policy for personal income tax, we will further optimize the income distribution structure, reduce the burden on households, stabilize middle-income groups and improve the ability to pay for consumption, thus laying a stable market foundation for expanding consumption.
It is necessary to speed up the improvement of supply quality, accelerate the cultivation of high-end brands in food, cosmetics, clothing, consumer electronics and other fields, and promote the supply of goods from low-end to high-end; Promote the transformation and upgrading of the consumer industry structure, especially the accelerated development of various life service industries such as catering, accommodation, tourism and travel; Accelerate the development of various new technologies, new products, new services, new formats and new models, and further improve the development level of the digital economy in the consumer sector. Reasonably increase public consumption and improve the efficiency of public service expenditures such as education, medical care, old-age care and child care. Further relax access restrictions in the fields of education, medical care and old-age care, and support social forces to increase effective supply.
It is necessary to take the construction of modern circulation system as the breakthrough point, and accelerate the formation of a large domestic market with convergence of supply and demand, integration of urban and rural areas, and connectivity of domestic and foreign trade. Accelerate the sinking of the domestic demand market, further promote the construction of an efficient circulation system in urban and rural areas, expand the coverage of e-commerce in rural areas, promote the two-way circulation of industrial products to the countryside and agricultural products to the city, and fully tap the consumption potential of counties and towns. Accelerate the development of new international consumption formats such as cross-border e-commerce and duty-free shops in the city, and accelerate the integrated development of domestic and foreign trade.

Tumbler base

"Tumbler Girl" in Xi ‘an
Beijing Youth Daily News (Reporter Fu Yao Intern reporter Yang Yang) With the popularity of "tumbler girl" in Xi ‘an, Shaanxi Province, the sales of tumbler base props have increased at the same time, and many prop manufacturers have been doing hot business recently. On the 10th, the reporter of Beijing Youth Daily contacted the staff of a tumbler base prop factory in Fuzhou, Fujian. He said that compared with the past few years, the sales of tumbler bases have now increased several times.
The staff of Fuzhou, a factory that makes tumbler bases, said that they started the production of tumbler bases in 2017, but the sales volume was not high at first, and they could sell one in about one month. With the popularity of "tumbler girl" in Xi ‘an, several can be sold in one day, and the sales volume has increased several times. The staff said: "About a dozen people in our factory are responsible for the production of tumbler bases, and the output is more than before, which can basically meet the order volume, but recently they have been working overtime."
According to the staff, orders are mainly sent by customers through the online shopping platform, and some customers come to contact directly. These customers mainly come from some scenic spots and shopping malls. They use the tumbler base to do activities and performances, which are basically for actors. He told the reporter of Beiqing Daily: "‘ Xi ‘an tumbler girl ’ After the fire, the demand for the tumbler base will be great. Now the business is very prosperous. I don’t dare to talk to your reporters for too long, for fear that I will miss the order. "
The reporter of Beiqing Daily saw from the online sales page of the factory that the price of this tumbler base and shelf is 2300 yuan, but the user is required to be between 160 and 176 cm tall and weigh less than 140 kg. If it is not within this range, it will take another five days to customize, and the price of the customized version is about 900 yuan higher than that of the standard version. Sales records show that within one month, manufacturers have sold hundreds of tumbler props.
"It is very troublesome to do this. It takes several days to make one, and this base is heavy, with an average of three or four hundred kilograms each. Some customized ones will be heavier, and they have been made for five or six hundred kilograms." The staff said, "The customized base is bigger than the general base, and it is more troublesome to make, so the price is higher."
Subsequently, the reporter of Beiqing Daily confirmed to the customer service staff on the e-commerce platform whether the safety can be ensured within the specified size. The customer service staff told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that the base can be used within the size range, and basically there is no need to worry about safety issues. The tumbler got up with one hand. "But we should also pay attention to safety issues, and we will give guidance. If it is not standardized, it will cause harm to the body."
The staff of Fuzhou Prop Factory said: "Because of the large demand for orders now, we will produce more, but the future situation is difficult to predict, so there is no plan to greatly expand production."
Core reading
At present, China has realized the nationwide networked monitoring of enterprises in high-risk industries, constructed the "smart supervision" mode of safety production, built and popularized the "internet plus law enforcement" system throughout the country, realized the sharing and sharing of the national law enforcement inspection list and the whole process of law enforcement documents, greatly shortened the time for making complete sets of documents, standardized law enforcement behavior and improved law enforcement efficiency.
In recent years, new technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence have been fully applied in the field of safety production. Through computer vision, video recognition and other related technologies, we can analyze behaviors such as leaving the post on duty and entering dangerous areas. Through satellite remote sensing big data, it can accurately identify whether the safe distance between hazardous chemicals storage tanks and residential areas meets the requirements; Using the "internet plus Law Enforcement" system, we can make a security risk portrait of enterprises through data analysis, thus delineating the key point of law enforcement … …
Under the background of the new era, the emergency management department is based on fundamentally eliminating hidden dangers of accidents, fundamentally solving problems, deeply integrating informatization into safety production, promoting the improvement of the intrinsic safety level of enterprises by means of scientific and technological informatization, and making every effort to prevent and resolve major safety risks and ensure the safety of people’s lives and property. Recently, the reporter learned from the Emergency Management Department that at present, China has realized the nationwide networked monitoring of enterprises in high-risk industries, built a "smart supervision" mode of safety production, built and popularized the "internet plus law enforcement" system throughout the country, realized the sharing and sharing of the national law enforcement inspection list and the whole process of electronic law enforcement documents, greatly shortened the time for making complete sets of documents, standardized law enforcement behavior and improved law enforcement efficiency.
Vigorously promote the whole process of law enforcement "online access"
In recent years, the Emergency Management Department has conscientiously implemented the Opinions of the Central Office and the State Council on Deepening the Reform of Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement in Emergency Management, vigorously promoted the informatization construction of law enforcement, and actively promoted the application of the "internet plus Law Enforcement" system.
According to Wei Pingyan, Director of the Science and Information Department of the Emergency Management Department, the Emergency Management Department has empowered the law enforcement in production safety through the internet plus, built and popularized the "internet plus Law Enforcement" system in the whole country, established the basic data ledger of enterprises in key industries nationwide, realized the data access and comprehensive analysis of law enforcement behavior in production safety in the whole country, and initially possessed the national law enforcement situation analysis ability. Intelligent law enforcement auxiliary tools can automatically identify more than 30 kinds of hidden dangers of key processes and key equipment, such as hazardous chemicals, industry and trade, and solve the problem that problems could not be found in previous law enforcement inspections. The system realizes the sharing of the national law enforcement inspection list and the whole process of law enforcement documents, greatly shortens the time of making complete sets of documents, standardizes law enforcement behavior and improves law enforcement efficiency.
"Vigorously promote the informatization construction of law enforcement and actively promote its application ‘ Law enforcement in internet plus ’ System, aiming at realizing ‘ Three pushes ’ 。” Yang Zhihui, director of the Safety Law Enforcement and Industry and Trade Supervision Bureau of the Emergency Management Department, further introduced.
Promote the improvement of the informatization level of law enforcement in the field of safety production. Comprehensively popularize and apply the "internet plus law enforcement" system, vigorously promote the whole process of law enforcement "online access to the network", aiming at realizing the transformation from traditional law enforcement to intelligent law enforcement through digital and intelligent means, and vigorously improving the informationization and intelligence level of law enforcement in the field of safety production.
Promote the improvement of the quality and efficiency of law enforcement in production safety. The system integrates the safety standard library of safety production laws and standards in the whole industry, and develops the document production client and intelligent auxiliary module, which can help grass-roots law enforcement personnel to learn legal knowledge and standardize law enforcement behavior, and provide strong support for improving law enforcement quality and efficiency.
Promote the standardization of law enforcement. Through the integrated and standardized management of on-site inspection, investigation, examination and approval, closing and filing, the system forms mechanisms such as online entry of law enforcement information, online management of law enforcement process, online generation of law enforcement files, and online evaluation of law enforcement effectiveness, realizing transparent supervision of the whole process of law enforcement and promoting strict, standardized, fair and civilized law enforcement.
The reporter noted that at present, a total of 15 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps use the system unified by the Emergency Management Department, and 16 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) use their own law enforcement information systems. "According to ‘ Ministry building promotion, self-built docking, module upgrade, data sharing ’ Principle, application in the layout of national emergency management system ‘ Law enforcement in internet plus ’ The system has achieved initial results such as the gradual improvement of law enforcement informationization foundation, the basic establishment of data sharing application mechanism, and the continuous promotion and application of the system. " Yang Zhihui said that, especially around the 25 key issues of law enforcement inspection in the industry and trade, the Emergency Management Department organized and developed the special law enforcement module for industry and trade and conducted pilot application. By the end of June this year, 34,000 key enterprises, such as steel, dust and explosives, had been registered in the national special law enforcement for industry and trade, and 17,000 key enterprises were inspected by using the system, which provided strong support for the three-year special rectification of production safety.
Full coverage of networked monitoring of major hazard installations.
Since 2010, China has become the world’s largest producer of chemicals, accounting for about 40% of the world’s total output. Dangerous chemicals have always been the key areas to prevent and resolve major safety risks because of their large scale, long management chain and high safety risks.
"In the hazardous chemicals industry, it has basically achieved the full coverage of networked monitoring of major hazard enterprises, focusing on accessing the data of 440,000 monitoring points and becoming a national ‘ Internet plus Supervision ’ Important demonstration application of the system. " Wei Pingyan said.
"The major hazard sources of hazardous chemicals have large reserves and concentrated energy. Once an accident occurs, it is easy to cause heavy casualties and property losses, which is the top priority for preventing and controlling major safety risks of hazardous chemicals." Song Honglin, deputy director of Division I of the Emergency Management Department, said that in recent years, while continuously improving offline control measures, the Emergency Management Department has made full use of advanced information technology to build a risk monitoring and early warning system for hazardous chemicals safety production, which has realized the monitoring and monitoring information of more than 7,000 enterprises and more than 20,000 major hazard sources nationwide, and continuously strengthened online control of major hazard sources of hazardous chemicals. Since the establishment and operation of the system, the safety management of major hazard sources of hazardous chemicals has been installed with "clairvoyance" and "clairvoyance". Through dynamic monitoring and automatic early warning, the gateway of major risk prevention and control has been continuously moved forward, and the efficiency has been significantly improved, which has played an increasingly important role in government supervision and enterprise management.
In addition, in March last year, the Emergency Management Department issued a plan to comprehensively launch the pilot construction of "Industrial internet plus Hazardous Chemical Safety Production". Closely following the current difficulties and pain points in the safe production of hazardous chemicals, closely surrounding the digitalization of all elements of the chemical process safety management system, 17 enterprise scenarios, 9 park and industry scenarios are refined and decomposed, and requirements are put forward for the scene construction at the group company and government level, and efforts are made to create a number of application scenarios, industrial App and industrial mechanism models in three years, and to build a preliminary framework of "hazardous safe production in industrial internet plus".
Over the past year or so, in accordance with the principle of "government-led, enterprise-oriented", 80 pilot units have been selected to try first, and the whole process of follow-up guidance has been continuously strengthened. Ten excellent pilot construction schemes have been reviewed and compiled one by one for the whole country to share. The special operation management, daily inspection, personnel positioning and double prevention mechanism, which are characterized by high security risks and are "invisible, incomplete and poorly managed" by traditional means, have been taken as the necessary scenes, and guidelines have been formulated to promote the first breakthrough. At present, the digital construction of dual prevention mechanism has been fully carried out in major hazard source enterprises, and 5,551 enterprises have completed the construction work, with a completion rate of 82%. By the end of the year, the national major hazard source enterprises will be fully covered.
Remote supervision, supervision and law enforcement to ensure mine safety
In the supervision of mine safety, in recent years, the State Administration of Mine Safety has vigorously promoted the construction of mine safety informatization, and improved the ability to prevent and resolve the risks of various mine disasters with a new generation of information technology as a whole.
"In terms of information construction, we can use law enforcement ‘ A game of chess ’ , monitoring ‘ A net ’ To summarize. " Wang Sufeng, director of the Network Information Office of the State Administration of Mine Safety, said. First of all, the national coal mine safety supervision and law enforcement "chess game" is built, and the whole process of coal mine safety approval, design review, administrative license, law enforcement inspection, administrative punishment and closure and exit is handled online, and the intelligent analogy module of the same case is developed to intelligently push the applicable legal provisions and historical penalties to law enforcement personnel, making law enforcement more just, fair and standardized. Secondly, the "one network" of coal mine safety risk monitoring and early warning system has been built, and the networking and data access of the "three systems" (safety monitoring, personnel positioning and industrial video) of 3,423 coal mines across the country have been completed, which can monitor more than 600,000 sensors such as methane and carbon monoxide, more than 800,000 workers entering the well and 43,000 industrial video dynamic monitoring data online; Completed 3364 coal mine "electronic seals" networking access. Mine safety supervisors at all levels can check the gas overrun and underground personnel of any coal mine at any time.
According to Wang Sufeng, after more than a year of use, the whole system has basically formed a new way of supervision and supervision of "online daily inspection+on-site verification". Using the system, 3421 times of coal mine remote monitoring and law enforcement were carried out, and 12013 hidden dangers were investigated, including 128 major hidden dangers.
The State Administration of Mine Safety conducted risk analysis and judgment by using the accessed coal mine perception data, urged provincial bureaus and mining enterprises to carry out verification and disposal, monitored a total of 45,537 gas alarm data, analyzed and counted 4,258 cases of gas exceeding the limit, and notified and urged the rectification of 444 regional risks and major hidden dangers.
There is a set of comparative data that is more convincing: compared with the application of risk monitoring and early warning system in June last year, the number of gas accidents in coal mines nationwide decreased by 1133, a decrease of 86.4%; The national coal mine gas disposal rate rose by 43.8%, with an increase of 78.2%, reaching 99.8%. The situation of gas overrun in coal mines has changed greatly. "The data shows that by accelerating the use of information technology, the main responsibility of mine safety production has been further consolidated, and the scientific, accurate and targeted law enforcement has been effectively improved, providing basic support for preventing and resolving major safety risks in mines." Wang Sufeng said frankly.
In addition, the National Mine Safety Supervision Bureau will accelerate the construction of "smart mines", strive to build safe mines, and use modern information technology to escort mine safety production. (Reporter Cai Yanhong)
BEIJING, Nov. 5 (Xinhua) According to reports from Washington post, on the 4th local time, thousands of protesters supporting Palestinian rights gathered near the White House, calling for a ceasefire in the Gaza and demanding that the United States stop its aid to Israel.
According to reports, this is the largest pro-Palestinian protest in Washington, D.C. for many years, which ended with a parade that crossed the downtown streets of Washington and arrived at the White House.
According to reports, protesters from all over the United States gathered in Washington on the same day, and they poured into Freedom Square, a block away from the White House. On the assembly stage, the speaker led the crowd to shout "Liberation of Palestine" and "Cease fire immediately". Many people lashed out at US President Biden’s support for Israel.
The report pointed out that Biden became the target of most people’s anger, and many protesters threatened to express their opposition when they ran for the re-election of the US president in 2024. When Biden’s name was mentioned, the scene was booed.
"Now we understand the language that Biden and his party can understand, and what they can understand is the 2024 ballot," Nihad awad, executive director of the American Council on Islamic Relations, told the crowd. "No ceasefire, no votes!" The crowd also shouted back.
"No votes in Michigan, no votes in Arizona, no votes in Georgia, no votes in Nevada, no votes in Wisconsin, no votes in Pennsylvania, no votes in Ohio!" Awad said.
The Washington police said that they arrested one person at the scene that night on the charge of destroying property, who was involved in painting the word "Gaza" at McDonald’s near the White House. In addition, some people printed red handprints on the stone pillars around the White House and sprayed the words "Liberation of Palestine" on the statue in lafayette Square Park.
At present, the White House has not responded to the request for comment.
[Global Times Comprehensive Report] Australia elected the first non-Anglo-Saxon Prime Minister in 121 years — — Anthony albanese. The leader of the Australian Labor Party defeated Morrison’s Liberal Party-National Party ruling Coalition in the 2022 federal parliamentary election held on May 21st, and will be sworn in as the 31st Prime Minister of the country today (23rd). The Australian Broadcasting Corporation commented that in the past few years, after experiencing challenges such as COVID-19 epidemic, century wildfires and floods, deteriorating relations with China, high inflation and stagnant national income, the general election was actually a "vote for Morrison, not for albanese", and there was a general desire among the people to "change because of setbacks". On the 24th, the leaders of the four countries of the United States, Japan, Australia and India will hold a "Quad(Quadrilateral Security Dialogue)" face-to-face summit in Tokyo, which will be albanese’s diplomatic debut as prime minister. People pay close attention to whether the Australian Labor Party government under his leadership has the courage to "reset" its relations with China, which suffered heavy losses in Morrison’s era, or will it continue to be trapped in the "deputy police chief" in the Asia-Pacific region?
The French applauded the result of the Australian election
According to the Australian newspaper, the latest vote count as of the evening of the 22nd shows that the Labour Party has won 76 seats in the 151 seats in the House of Representatives, meeting the requirements for forming a separate cabinet. In addition, the Liberal Party-National Party Coalition holds 54 seats, the Green Party holds 4 seats, and the other seats are held by small parties and independents. At present, there are still five seats whose ownership is unclear, and we need to wait for the statistical results of the postal ballot.
Australian allies have congratulated. The White House website released a press release on the 22nd, saying that US President Biden reiterated his firm commitment to the US-Australia alliance with albanese on the same day, and thanked albanese for his commitment to the US-Australia alliance during the election campaign. New Zealand Prime Minister Aden, British Prime Minister Johnson, Indian Prime Minister Modi and leaders of some Pacific island countries also expressed their congratulations at the first time. According to the British "Guardian" reported on the 22nd, Fiji Prime Minister bainimarama congratulated albanese, saying: "Among your numerous commitments to support the Pacific region, the most popular one is the plan to put climate issues first." Solomon Islands Prime Minister Sogavare also sent a letter to albanese, expressing "sincere congratulations" on his victory. The report said that the security agreement between this Pacific country and China was one of the main points of contention in the Australian election.
Just a few hours after Morrison admitted losing the election, former French Foreign Minister Ledrien attacked Morrison. According to the French newspaper le figaro, Ledrien, who was holding a handover ceremony with the new French foreign minister, said that "in France, people are also happy with the result", which triggered laughter from the people present. Ledrien also said that what Morrison had done to France was "too bold and shameless" and "it was a lack of ability". Australia’s Brisbane Times reported on the 22nd that the French politician’s statement showed that the nerves between the two governments were still very tense after Australia controversially terminated the submarine contract worth $90 billion with France. Le Drian also expressed the hope that in the future, France and Australia can re-establish a true and mutual trust relationship.
The Canberra Times said on the 22nd that the winner of the general election "has little time to celebrate" and the front is full of major events and "minefields". It is reported that after Australian Governor Hurley completes the appointment procedure on Sunday, albanese and his core team members will be sworn in on 23rd to attend the QUAD summit in Japan on 24th. Albanese told the media on 22nd that attending the QUAD summit "is an absolute priority for Australia". Japanese Prime Minister kishida fumio congratulated albanese on the 22nd and said he was looking forward to meeting him in Tokyo. Domestically, faced with the huge fiscal deficit and high inflationary pressure, the new government is expected to issue a budget in October this year and hold a summit on employment within 100 days of taking office. At the same time, issues such as climate change, indigenous rights and interests, post-epidemic reconstruction and affordable housing prices are also imminent. At the same time, the Canberra Times stressed that the new government will also face the task of improving political relations with China, its largest trading partner. It is no exaggeration to say that "the next government will start to operate today".
Public opinion abandoned Morrison
The French newspaper le figaro reported Morrison’s defeat with the title "In Australia, the opposition Labor Party ousted the Conservative Party". Everyone from former French Foreign Minister Ledrien to supporters of tennis star Djokovic welcomed Morrison’s defeat to albanese with rapture. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) described the failure of the Liberal Party-National Party Alliance in this general election as "destroyed and shattered". In the new distribution of parliamentary power, the Liberal Party-National Party Alliance is at an obvious disadvantage, and Freiden Berg, the "second person" of the Liberal Party and finance minister, can’t keep his parliamentary seat.
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) said on the 22nd that it was obvious from the general election that many voters did not like Morrison, and his "trustworthy family man image" had been eroded in the past three years. He is always absent when natural disasters happen. In the flood-stricken area, instead of providing assistance first, he told people that "the disaster area is resilient and will start again"; When the country was hit by a summer forest fire and hundreds of families were forced to abandon their homes and flee, there were photos of Morrison on vacation in Hawaii in the media.
The New York Times said on the 22nd that after four years in power, Morrison found that he was judged "not by his potential, but by his record" and that "the dislike of the incumbent made voters give the Labour Party an obvious victory". Lunsford, a 74-year-old voter in West Sydney, said: "They are still the same, the same — — We need a broom to get there. " Black, a retired chemical engineer, told The New York Times that Morrison was "like a bad boyfriend — — He said that if you choose me again, I will change. "
Mandel, a 41-year-old Italian restaurant chef, told The New York Times reporters when he went to the polling station in the western suburbs of Sydney to vote. In the past, he supported the Liberal Party, "not this time" because he had to support two children, and his and his wife’s wages had not risen for many years, and "the cost of living has gone up wildly". Mandel said, "You can only take a bag of things from the supermarket with 100 Australian dollars for shopping." He said that this time he voted for the Labour Party. The 51-year-old Chinese boss surnamed Huang owns a restaurant and a sporting goods store. He said that he used to be a voter of the Liberal Party, but this time he "broke up" with the party because the relationship between Australia and China deteriorated, which hurt his business.
Where will Australia-China relations go?
The British "Dialogue" magazine said on the 21st that albanese’s coming to power means that Australia-China relations may improve. According to the article, some practices of Morrison’s government are one of the reasons for the bad bilateral relations. In March this year, "after the China air crash, the Australian government didn’t even send a condolence statement, which is the bottom of Australia-China relations". According to the article, while "all other countries" in the Asia-Pacific region are trying to maintain relations with Beijing in a more constructive manner, "Australia has lost opportunities".
However, Bloomberg News reported on the 22nd that the Labor Party led by albanese had turned to take a tougher stance towards China before the general election. In a campaign debate on May 8, he said: "the Communist Party of China (CPC) has changed. It is more forward-looking and tougher. This means that Australia must of course respond. "
On the whole, the new Australian government is expected to continue to take a tough stance on China, the Labour Party also said during the election campaign that there will be no major changes on the South China Sea and Taiwan Province, and albanese also said that the "first pillar" of his foreign policy will be the alliance with the United States. The report also quoted Zhou Fangyin, dean of the School of International Studies at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, as saying that the new government’s attitude toward China may not be as tough as that of its predecessor, because it needs to stimulate the economy: "If albanese is smart enough, it will minimize its provocation against China."
Zhou Fangyin told the Global Times reporter on the 22nd that the Labour Party’s coming to power provided at least an opportunity to improve Sino-Australian relations, because it did not need to maintain the so-called "continuity of China policy". There is no contradiction in principle and structure between China and Australia, and the so-called "problems" often have American factors behind them. China has nothing that can "threaten" Australia. Zhou Fangyin said that our influence on the Pacific island countries is indeed rising, which makes Australia feel "uncomfortable", but this is because it has always felt that "South Pacific is its sphere of influence", and those island countries do not recognize this.
The Times of India reported on the 22nd that an Indian source who used to be a diplomat in Australia said that the relaxation of relations between Australia and China could not be ruled out, which was "something that India and QUAD should be vigilant about". He said that although albanese is expected to reaffirm Australia’s commitment to QUAD at the QUAD Summit, "the Labour Party has always been soft on China". People still remember that in 2018, the Labor Party Government of Victoria, Australia signed a memorandum of understanding with China to join the "Belt and Road" cooperation, which was eventually abolished by the Morrison government.
[Global Times correspondent in Australia Daqiao Global Times correspondent in France Liu Lingling Global Times reporter Zhang Tingge Ren Zhong]
The employees of Qinyang Power Generation Company of Henan State Power Investment Corporation used to eat from the same big pot, and the cadres of enterprises were also hidden "iron chairs". The old employees were dissatisfied, and the young people were not passionate, so the enterprises seemed depressed, failed to develop, and even faced with losses for years.
After more than 10 years’ hard work, Qinyang Power Generation realized two-machine operation in 2020, but in 2021, it lost 440 million yuan in the first complete operation year after operation, and in 2022, it lost 208 million yuan, which will make ends meet, make a large loss, and face increasingly severe thermal power operation difficulties.
In order to solve this dilemma, Li Baoqing, director of the State Power Investment Corporation and deputy secretary of the Party Group, organized a research meeting for Qinyang Power Generation to turn losses into difficulties. Through the guidance of five departments and 21 experts, the Party Group of the State Power Investment Corporation opened a crucial process of penetrating the grassroots, directly hitting the pain points and solving problems with unprecedented determination and strength.
After half a year’s reform, Qinyang Power Generation has regained its vitality, which has become a new driving force for the "second venture" of Henan Power Investment Corporation, and has realized a new model of transforming traditional production-oriented enterprises into production-oriented enterprises.
A few days ago, the interview group "Entering New State-owned Enterprises, Reforming and Empowering New Development" jointly organized by the Propaganda Bureau of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the News Center went to Henan State Power Investment Corporation to conduct in-depth research and interviews to understand the experience and development results since the three-year reform of the State Power Investment Corporation, as well as the latest achievements of reform in promoting high-quality development.
Make every effort to build a large-scale comprehensive green smart energy enterprise

Qinyang Power Generation is located at the foot of Taihang Mountain at the junction of Henan and Shanxi. It has two million kilowatt ultra-supercritical coal-fired power units. It is the key project of thermal power construction in Henan Province during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period and the supporting project of the Science and Technology Support Plan of the Ministry of Science and Technology "Development and Application of 1000MW Ultra-supercritical Power Units with High Efficiency and Wide Load Rate". It is also the "big pressure and small pressure" project of the original Danhe Power Plant.
At present, Qinyang Power Generation is the only stable heat source for industrial gas and urban heating in Qinyang City. It has independently developed Mengzhou 100MW wind power project and Xinjiang 1000MW photovoltaic+photothermal integration project, and is making every effort to build a large-scale comprehensive green smart energy enterprise.
Now, Qinyang Power Generation is a sample of intelligent digital power plant, and its operation economy is at the international leading level compared with similar units in steam turbine projects. The designed power supply coal consumption of the unit is 273g/kWh, which is the leading unit of coal-fired electricity energy-saving and low-carbon benchmarking in Henan Province, and it can generate 1 million kWh of electricity per hour, and its profit level is higher than that of similar units.
Qinyang Power Generation encourages employees to innovate independently. Because the shell of steam turbine and generator is made of special metal, it needs professional anti-corrosion technology, and a lot of money has been spent on anti-corrosion all the year round. In order to save production costs, Qinyang power generation workers independently studied the surface anti-corrosion technology of steam turbines and generators, and repeatedly experimented to find out the paint ratio. Only one third of the outsourcing cost was spent to complete the anti-corrosion work, which saved a lot of production costs and prolonged the service life of the unit.
Entering the centralized control room, six personnel on duty are carrying out the dispatching task of the whole plant. Wang Xinzhong, the chief value officer of the power generation operation department, introduced that APS one-button start-up, inspection robot and digital coal yard have all come to the forefront in the industry. In the face of the reform of the new power energy system, the energy consumption level of the unit is ahead of that of the same type of units in China. The environmental protection index of Qinyang Power Generation not only meets the national ultra-low emission standard, but also exceeds the environmental protection standard of gas units, and it is a real low-carbon environmental protection power supply.
In addition to intelligence, turning losses into profits is also the main task of Qinyang Power Generation. After the publication of the list and the establishment of the tackling key group, Wang Xiaoxiao, a 36-year-old boiler specialist, stayed at home for 24 hours, conducted experiments in the middle of the night, innovatively proposed a new coal blending scheme, and improved the combustion stability. With the joint efforts of him and the members of the tackling key group, he successfully divided the unit load into five sections and flexibly blended "five kinds of coal". Through this combined power generation mode, the fuel cost can be saved by nearly 4 million yuan per month, and the peak shaving technology has entered the first echelon of millions of units in China. Up to now, the peak shaving income is close to 50 million yuan.
The "life gate" to eradicate the problem of loss in successive years
Qinyang Power Generation has built a digital coal yard, where advanced technologies such as unattended bucket wheel machine, robot inspection and on-line detection of coal system have been applied. Through the grid management of coal yard, accurate coal stacking is realized; Unattended inspection and robot inspection of bucket wheel reduce the labor intensity of employees and improve the working environment; On-line detection of coal preparation evaluates blended coal combustion and guides combustion use.
Xing Xuguang, fuel operation management, said that in order to realize the company’s goal of turning losses into profits, Qinyang Power Generation changed its thinking of "old power plants" from "knowing how to produce" to "knowing how to operate".
Faced with the problem of heavy workload of employees, unsatisfactory coal slurry blending and fuel cost, Wang Bin, the monitor of Class 3 of Fuel Operation, found through continuous monitoring that when the coal quantity difference between the upstream and downstream belt weighers was more than 15 tons, he immediately organized personnel to clean up the coal chute, which could effectively avoid the blockage of the coal chute. This discovery effectively increased the amount of coal slurry, and the daily coal slurry loading increased rapidly from less than 500 tons to more than 2,000 tons, making a contribution to the company’s coal price control and reduction.
Qinyang Power Generation purchases 3.3 million tons of coal every year, accounting for more than 75% of the total cost, which can be said to be the most critical factor in determining whether it can turn losses around.
In order to seize the "life gate" of this year-on-year loss problem, Qinyang Power Generation formulated an incentive scheme for signing a long association coal contract and issued an incentive mechanism for cashing the long association coal contract. In 2023, the signing of Changxie coal contract achieved full coverage. In the first quarter, the cashing rate of Changxie coal reached 96%, and the unit price area of standard coal entered the factory was ahead of the standard, saving fuel costs by more than 32 million yuan year-on-year, creating a number of historic breakthroughs.
Resolutely change the "iron rice bowl" and "big pot rice"
Through the reform, Qinyang Power Generation has taken on a new look, and the employees are full of enthusiasm, which has solved the problem of "let me do it" and realized "the same growth of enterprise profits and employee income, and the sustainable and high-quality development of employees and enterprises".
From January to April this year, the cumulative profit of Qinyang Power Generation was 36.38 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 104 million yuan, setting a record for the same period in three years.
In 2023, the state power investment focused on "turning losses from thermal power", clearly and comprehensively improving the management quality of thermal power assets and realizing "zero loss" of coal-fired power.
In order to achieve this goal, Wang Hanzhong, chairman of the State Power Investment Henan Company, personally led a team to go deep into the grassroots level of Qinyang Power Generation for a week, eating and living with employees, and studying and formulating a good solution.
Through the discussion of "breaking the ice with thoughts, breaking through development, turning losses into difficulties" and the practical activities of "what can I do to turn losses into profits", we will ask the people and let the broad masses of workers become participants, supervisors and beneficiaries of the reform.
In order to achieve this goal and task, Qinyang Power Generation set up three assault teams, selected team leaders by exposing the list, decomposed the task objectives step by step and signed a military order, and took out 16.8 million yuan as a special reward, which was cashed in time and publicly commended, giving full play to the role of rewards and punishments to stimulate business improvement.
The new round of state-owned enterprise reform proposes to build a new management responsibility system in an all-round way. Advocating the spirit of contract, Qinyang Power Generation strengthened the market-oriented selection and employment, and 37 managers implemented "competition for posts and two-way selection", signed a letter of responsibility, and grasped the first level.
Qinyang Power Generation implemented organizational downsizing, reducing and merging three departments; Implement the slimming of middle-level cadres and streamline 9 people; The management personnel were slimmed down, and 11 managers took the initiative to apply for front-line positions.
Enterprises deepen reform, focusing on increasing vitality and improving efficiency. Qinyang Power Generation has established a differentiated salary distribution mechanism inclined to key positions and production lines. Incentive measures such as performance responsibility, revealing the list and immediate rewards have been fully rolled out, accurately pointing to outstanding contributors who "pull the cart to carry the work" and "work hard". After the reform, the income gap of the same post reached 1.5 times, and the highest income gap of different posts reached 8 times.
In just a few months, a series of heavy measures have been fully exerted and effectively instigated to make the mechanism alive, get together with enthusiasm, and ignite the hope of employees starting businesses.
Qiao Yongsheng, general manager of Qinyang Power Generation Co., Ltd. said that the company will fully implement the SASAC’s new round of efforts to deepen the reform of state-owned enterprises, sum up while reforming, improve while summing up, turn "pilot" into "demonstration" and "bonsai" into "landscape", help the State Power Investment Corporation achieve the grand goal of "first-class strategy in 2035" with high quality and make every effort to build a new state-owned enterprise with high-quality transformation and development in the new era.

Leading cadres and officers and men clean up the streets together
In winter and blizzard, Jingchu is in a hurry.
Since the first heavy snowfall on January 12, the temperature in Hubei Province has been below 0℃ for 20 consecutive days, and the temperature in the coldest area is almost MINUS 10℃, which has suffered the most serious freezing natural disaster in a hundred years. In the fierce snowstorm, the Jianghan Plain sounded a special alert: more than 20 million hectares of farmland, more than 20 million people, countless factories, houses and schools, the Beijing-Kowloon Railway and the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway linking China are in jeopardy … The disaster has affected the soldiers.
For three consecutive weeks, the combat duty room of the Hubei Military Region was brightly lit day and night. The party committees of provincial military regions often have trouble sleeping and eating, and nervous research countermeasures for high-speed operation are tightened. Yuan Shijun, commander of the provincial military region, and Shi Baohua, political commissar, urgently dispatched troops to lead 100,000 officers and soldiers and militia reservists to fight against the freezing disaster. The storm is heavy and the disaster is urgent. The wheels of the Hubei Military Region are rolling and camouflage is flowing. A war of defending Jingchu, where the army and the people joined forces to fight against God, started in an all-round way.
Breaking the ice and removing snow, 100 thousand officers and men struggled to protect the aorta
At 1: 30 am on January 26, Dongdaemun, Hubei.
Under the icy night sky, a violent storm and blizzard fiercely attacked the expressway from Huanggang to Jiujiang, Jiangxi. More than 1,500 cars were unable to drive because of the icy road surface, and a long dragon was winding in the ice and snow.
The snowstorm affected the soldiers. After receiving the call for help from the local Party committee and government, the officers and men of a pontoon brigade in Hubei Military Region urgently unsealed the vehicles and dispatched more than 6,000 people (times) to the scene to ease the traffic.
The wind and snow are pervasive and the wind is biting. The officers and men didn’t care about snowflakes and ice water splashing on their bodies wrapped in mud. They started ice-breaking and snow-removing competitions in battalions. After 12 hours of hard work, they finally shoveled out a 120-kilometer-long ice-free passage.
When the vehicle slowly passed through the east gate of Hubei, the drivers waved to the officers and men. "Thank you, the PLA, you have worked hard!"

Donate money and materials for the people in the disaster area
At the beginning of the new year, under the influence of La Nina phenomenon, a severe snowstorm that has not happened for many years has hit Hubei Province continuously. Just as people are still silent in the joy of "auspicious snow and good harvest", I didn’t expect that the snowfall intensity is getting bigger and bigger, and the continuous freezing time is getting longer and longer, which is rare in the past hundred years. The alarm of 10.23 million people in 17 cities, states and 102 counties (cities, districts) in the province has sounded. Disaster is an order. The Party Committee of Hubei Military Region held an emergency standing committee overnight, taking participating in local snow disaster resistance as the most urgent political task at present, and taking safeguarding the interests of the people as the top priority. It immediately studied and deployed the work of snow disaster resistance and helping the affected people, and promptly launched the Emergency Plan for Emergency Rescue and Disaster Relief and issued the Emergency Notice on Doing a Good Job in Snow Disaster Prevention and Emergency Rescue and Disaster Relief. Seventeen snow disaster resistance headquarters were established throughout the region, and more than 100,000 officers and men and militia reserve personnel were urgently mobilized to fight. As soon as the danger was over, the alarm sounded again. On January 27th, there was a general snowstorm in Yichang area, and the snow in the Three Gorges dam area was more than 20 centimeters. The Three Gorges transfer highway and the Wuhan-Yichang expressway were all closed, and a large number of ro-ro vehicles descending from Chongqing to all parts of the country via Yichang could not be evacuated after arriving at the port of the dam area, which seriously hindered the transportation of the Three Gorges ro-ro dam. "The Three Gorges dam area must not be blocked!" There were a backlog of 38 ro-ro trucks and nearly 2,000 long-distance trucks, and another 500 ro-ro trucks went down to the dam area on the same day. From the evening of the 29th, Yichang Military Division quickly organized more than 1,000 militia reservists to rush to the scene to evacuate the backlog of vehicles and boats.After consultation with China Three Gorges Corporation, Yangtze Three Gorges Navigation Administration and relevant ro-ro ship transportation companies, they urgently dispatched 20 tons of industrial salt to remove snow, opened the Jingjiang River-Yangjiazui-Yemingzhu (water-land-water) ro-ro transfer line in time, and opened a special highway in the Three Gorges dam area on the afternoon of the same day, allowing ro-ro vehicles to go down through the dam area. Until 15: 00 the next day, the Three Gorges Ship Lock opened a special gate for ro-ro ships for the first time and arranged four gates to be released to. The smoothness of the expressway did not make the leaders and organs of the Hubei Military Region feel a little relaxed. At the same time, the Beijing-Guangzhou railway trunk line was hit by continuous blizzard and freezing rain, and more than 29 flights in Hubei were delayed or cancelled, and dozens of passenger cars could not be started. Wuchang railway station, the transportation hub of the thoroughfare of nine provinces, and nearly 100 thousand returning passengers are stranded here. After hearing the news, the Hubei Military Region quickly organized officers and soldiers and militia reservists to go to airports and railway stations. Some of them distributed snow disaster prevention materials and maps of Wuhan to passing passengers, some carried luggage for pedestrians, some helped the police to maintain order, and some poured boiling water for passengers … However, at this time, Li Zaixiang, a migrant worker who returned from Guangzhou to Yichang, suddenly had abdominal pain and was about to give birth after being pregnant for more than 9 months. The officers and men of the "Mobile Service Team of the Provincial Military Region" in Wuchang Station immediately contacted the ambulance of Wuhan General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Region and rushed her to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Wuhan General Hospital for timely treatment. During this period, the scene order of Wuchang section of Beijing-Guangzhou Railway was effectively controlled. Up to now,100,000 officers and soldiers and militia reservists in the Hubei Military Region are guarding the Beijing-Kowloon Railway, the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway and Hubei Power Grid, breaking ice and removing snow for more than 600 kilometers, diverting more than 4,000 vehicles and transferring more than 3,000 people trapped, striving to defend the smooth flow of the national "artery".
Fighting day and night, more than 100 students will forget their lives to help the people.
Late at night on January 23rd, the house of Xiong Zhi, a villager in Xiongfan Village, Dawu County, Hubei Province, collapsed due to a fire and a snowstorm. Yang Qingliang, Minister of Armed Forces of Dawu County, and Fang Liangcai, political commissar, who heard the news, led the militia rescue team to quickly set up a tent for his home and sent rice, cooking oil, quilts and other urgently needed daily necessities. Xiong Zhishu, who was rescued, excitedly shook the hand of the leader of the People’s Armed Forces Department and said: "Natural disasters are merciless, and I will never forget the kindness of the People’s Liberation Army!" Leading cadres are the vanguard, and the snowstorm field is the examination room. The Party Committee of Hubei Military Region issued the Emergency Notice on Doing a Good Job in Snow Disaster Prevention, Emergency Rescue and Disaster Relief, and at the same time issued the Instruction on Doing a Good Job in Political Work in Snow Disaster Resistance, which clearly stated that resisting snowstorm attacks should be regarded as the "touchstone" to test the style and quality of cadres in party member, and party committee leaders at all levels should take the lead in snow disaster resistance, give full play to party member’s exemplary role, and unite as one to protect people’s property safety. Facing the snowstorm, Yuan Shijun, commander of the provincial military region, and Shi Baohua, political commissar, took the lead in taking to the streets to shovel ice and snow. Standing Committee members of other party committees in the provincial military region also went to the disaster area to conduct on-site command day and night to help the affected people get out of danger. The leaders of the subordinate military divisions and the People’s Armed Forces Department actively kept in touch with the local party committees and governments, and appeared in the front line of resisting snowstorms at any time, and there were more than 100 touching scenes of giving up their lives to help the people. The thatched huts of more than 40 villagers in Tianzhi barren mountain area in Enshi, Hubei Province, which is more than 2,000 meters above sea level, were destroyed by the strong snowstorm. Knowing this danger,The leaders of Enshi Military Division immediately organized more than 5,000 officers and soldiers and militia reservists to go to the "Tianshan Road". They fought the gale and blizzard day and night in the thin air, helping more than 3000 villagers to move to safety. Some officers and men’s clothes were worn out. They grabbed a handful of snow to clean up the bloody wounds and went into battle again. They said humorously, a scar is a military medal. Known as the "Ghost Gate of Tianshan Mountain", the officers and men need to transport the masses down from the mountain with a direct drop of 600 meters, which is like climbing into the sky. Without further ado, yu zhang, Minister of People’s Armed Forces of Jianshi County, shouldered his elderly aunt Li and walked hard down the hill one step at a time. Li auntie, who was safely rescued, said with tears in her eyes: "Thank you for your loved ones!" In Jianghan Plain, a big granary in the south of the motherland, this sudden snowstorm made many people’s lives miserable. On the afternoon of January 26th, the tap water pipe in Chunlai Community, Shengli Street, Shashi District, Jingzhou City was frozen and cracked, and the domestic water supply of more than 300 households in the area was interrupted. Zhou Zubing, political commissar of the People’s Armed Forces Department of Shashi District, who was being infused in the hospital, heard the news. He ignored the cold and fever and hurriedly pulled out the needle and rushed to the scene. While commanding the militia emergency repair team of more than 130 people to carry out overnight repairs, he actively coordinated the fire department to dispatch fire engines to deliver water to residents. Against the biting cold, the emergency repair team replaced the water pipeline in time after more than six hours of emergency repair, which restored the residents’ lives to normal. At this time, Zhou Zhengwei, who didn’t even have time to have a bite of dinner, returned to the hospital for treatment.It’s not enough to fight against the wind and snow and fight against the weather.

Organize officers and soldiers to clear the snow on the road.
In the past few days, the lowest temperature in Wuhan has reached MINUS 5℃, which has been the most serious frozen natural disaster since 1954. Since 28th, Liangzi Island on the outskirts of the city has been completely frozen. The ice layer on the lake is about 6-15cm thick. Four routes for residents on the island have been cut off by ruthless ice and snow, and more than 3,000 residents on the island have been cut off from vegetables, rice and gas. If it continues, there may be a major disaster of casualties. "Break the ice and split the life channel!" When the People’s Armed Forces Department of Liangzihu District learned about the situation, it quickly formed more than 40 militiamen, party member, to set up an "ice-breaking commando". They took hammers and sticks and took three machine barges to start breaking the ice between Liangzidao and Ezhou Changling Wharf. "How thick is the ice?"
"The thickest place can stand a young man weighing about 70 kilograms!"
"The three machine barges are all equipped with 25 horsepower engines, but the machine barges touch the ice and can’t break the ice at all."
"Then knock a few holes in the ice on the bow, and then the engine barge will rush forward!"
Yan Tingyou, the head of the District People’s Armed Forces Department who led the team to break the ice, picked up a wooden stick with a thick bowl, a length of 3 meters and a weight of 15 kilograms on an icebreaker barge, and tried to break the ice on the lake, but when the stick was smashed, the ice did not move, and it was smashed several times before the ice broke a small hole. It’s hard to break the ice, and some comrades don’t want to stop when their hands are blistered. Some comrades’ jaws are cracked by wooden sticks, and their blood is flowing. After simply dressing with gauze, they continue to fight … The waterway from Liangzidao to Ezhou Changling Wharf is about 15 kilometers long, which usually takes only more than 30 minutes. The militia party member Commando struggled to break the ice for 5 hours, and it was not until 1: 50 pm that the "Life Channel" was finally opened. The residents on the island were all elated when they watched the ships safely transport rice, flour, vegetables, cooking oil, liquefied steam and other daily necessities to the island in batches. On January 25, when a bus from Wuhan to Xiantao went to the section of Ningbao Village of National Highway 318, the bus crashed into a pole and rushed into the Sijiu River on the side of the road because of the freezing weather. The cold river water immediately poured into the car, and the passengers full of cars abandoned their cars to escape. Zhou Yousheng, the company commander of Ningbao village soldier in Xiaorenjie Town, Caidian District, Wuhan City, who is eradicating ice and snow on the nearby roads, immediately called several militiamen and rushed to the scene for rescue. After helping dozens of passengers escape from the car successfully, the accident happened: a big truck rushed over and hit the rickety pole. The pole smashed forward, and more than 10 passengers stood under the pole. "Run, be careful of the pole!" Zhou Shanda roared and rushed up to push the passengers away. As a result,The passenger escaped smoothly, but he was unfortunately hit. That night, Zhou Youshan, who was injured in the fight against the snowstorm, was diagnosed as "brain death" by tongji hospital. The eyes of more than 100 officers and men of Wuhan Garrison and the rescued people who visited outside the intensive care unit were full of tears. They said: Zhou Youshan led more than 20 members of the militia emergency detachment to fight day and night, cleared more than 10 kilometers of road snow and rescued more than 100 people affected by the disaster. However, in the snowstorm, Zhou Youshan left the chance of life to others … Over the past few days, more than 100 distribution schools in the Hubei Military Region have fought in the front line to resist the snowstorm, built more than 3,000 living tents for the disaster-stricken areas, and rescued and resettled more than 17,000 people trapped. However, they have lived in the wind and slept, won the praise of the people with practical actions, and withstood the test of party spirit and style.
Blood is thicker than snow, and millions of materials are devoted to the disaster area to offer love.
"Affected by the snowstorm for several days, no one in Wuhan has come to donate blood for free for a week, and the blood bank has been in a comprehensive emergency!"

The officers and men enthusiastically volunteered to donate blood to the disaster area.
The news of blood shortage in blood stations touched the hearts of officers and men in the army. After learning the situation, a pontoon bridge brigade in the Hubei Military Region contacted the blood station and asked the blood collection vehicle to drive directly into the camp. On the morning of January 29th, the author saw at the scene that Yao Xuefeng, the battalion commander of No.1 Battalion, had donated 1000 ml of blood for four times in 1992, 1996, 2005 and 2006, took the lead in swinging his arm and donated 200 ml of blood for free again. The cold winter wind did not make the people feel a little cold. The 128 officers and men of the brigade donated 25,600 ml of blood for free, sending warmth to the resident people with their own blood. Blood is thicker than snow. In the fight against this snowstorm, which has never happened in 50 years, all levels of the Hubei Military Region carried forward the fine tradition of our army to support the government and love the people, and organized officers and soldiers and militia reserve personnel to carry out send warm and offer love activities. From generals to soldiers, from retirees to employees’ families, they all voluntarily joined the donation ranks and donated 3,000 pieces (sets) of cotton-padded clothes. Zhang Xueqi, the former political commissar of the provincial military region and veteran of the Eighth Route Army, donated 10 pieces of clothes and quilts and sent them to the donation station in the snow. In this regard, the responsible comrades of the Hubei Provincial Civil Affairs Department said excitedly: "The Hubei Military Region was the first to donate clothes and quilts after the snowstorm in our province, and they played an important role in resisting the snowstorm in the province!" Pay attention to the disaster area and offer love.
