The ranking of the top ten risky positions in officialdom: the land director is the most dangerous, and the boss of state-owned enterprises is the second from the bottom.

[Editor’s note]

        At present, the society in China is undergoing a rapid transformation, and it has entered a period of "prominent contradictions" and "high risk". Risk is a prominent feature of this period, which has actually penetrated into all classes and people, including officials, especially those who are involved in land, houses, mines and local party and government leaders.

        Is it a false proposition that officials are at high risk? According to the survey results of People’s Forum magazine, 44% of the respondents agree that "being an official is a high-risk occupation" and think that the top ten high-risk positions in officialdom are land director, transportation director, county party secretary, public security director, organization minister, construction committee director, safety supervision director, municipal party committee secretary, state-owned enterprise boss and housing management director. The specific investigation contents are as follows:

        These posts can be described as "high-ranking" and serve the people well. What kind of official and social ecology is reflected behind their becoming high-risk posts?

        What are the outstanding characteristics of the high risk of officials that are different from other groups? What is the deep reason behind it? How should we strengthen the relevant system construction, so that the key positions of government departments are no longer "high-risk"?

I. Director of Land and Resources

"Land-related" Officials under Hidden Rules

Post risk coefficient: six stars

        Risk point: From planning and pricing to approval and supervision, power and risk are closely linked.

        1. Hidden rules prevail, and it is difficult to be immune;

        2. Fierce competition and strong public relations force;

        3. The supervision system is not perfect.

        According to the survey results of People’s Forum magazine, 62% of the respondents believe that the "land director" has the highest risk and ranks first. (Note: The risk coefficient is based on the percentage of people selected for this position, and the percentage is rounded to the nearest single digit, which is expressed in the form of star rating. If 62% of the respondents choose the director of land and resources, the risk coefficient is 6 stars. )

Too much power! Before the unspoken rules, the land directors have fallen.

        "Why is everyone called’ land acquisition’ instead of’ land acquisition’? This shows that there are doorways. The conditions for’ land acquisition’ can be set by the government, and the planning government can change it. All competent departments have the final say." The chairman of a real estate company in Wenzhou said this when interviewed by the media. He even bluntly said that the operation of the land market basically goes ahead of the hidden rules.

        On July 4, 2014, Li Junfu, director of Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Land Resources and Housing Management and secretary of the Party Committee, was suspected of serious violation of discipline and accepted an organization investigation. Li Junfu was investigated for violating discipline, which once again exposed the loopholes in the land transaction supervision system. Many political and business people in Guangdong said that they were not surprised by Li Junfu’s accident. A real estate developer bluntly said: "Li Junfu is the god of wealth in Guangzhou, and he is in charge of important positions such as land storage, allocation of affordable housing, land transfer and real estate regulation and control, and his power is too great."

        Power is great, supervision is not in place, hidden rules prevail, and bribery is rampant, making the land department the hardest hit area for corruption cases. Not only that, because the interests involved are complicated, there are many cases and cases in this field from time to time.

        In 2009, five people were sentenced in Haikou planning land system. Among them, the former deputy director of Haikou Planning Bureau took bribes of 1.3 million yuan and was sentenced to 11 years in prison. The other sentenced officials were the former chief planner of Haikou Planning Bureau, the former chief of the land use department of Haikou Land and Resources Bureau and the former deputy director of the Treasury Payment Bureau of Haikou Finance Bureau.

        In 2008, a case of land corruption was exposed in Zengcheng, Guangdong Province. The staff of the land department colluded with private entrepreneurs to defraud the state of idle land compensation funds as high as 145 million yuan, and nine officials fell in this corruption case.

        A little earlier, during 2007-2008, the case of land subsidence in Chongqing shocked the whole country, including Tang Wenfeng, former director of Chongqing Development Zone Management Committee, Liang Xiaoqi, former deputy director of Municipal Planning Bureau, Huang Yun, director of Jiulongpo District Planning Bureau, Jiang Yong, former deputy director of Chongqing Land and Real Estate Bureau, etc. Nearly 10 departmental cadres were dismissed for accepting bribes from developers.

Hidden Rules-Latency, Violation and Rule

        There are many "tricky things" in real estate from land transfer to planning adjustment, which is already a self-evident "secret" in this field. Land officials waved the power stick in their hands and acted as "hidden rules" under the cover of "explicit rules" in order to seek personal gain and corruption, which made the crimes in the land system appear to be latent, illegal and covered up by law.

        Take the "bidding, auction and hanging" of land transfer as an example. Under the unspoken rules, government officials can resell the land to the intended buyers in various illegal ways according to the procedures of bidding, auction and hanging. The specific methods are as follows:

        First, limit the qualifications of developers and shut out a large number of developers from the beginning;

        Second, when auctioning land, additional conditions are set, such as the requirement to reach an agreement with the demolished person within 5 days, but these conditions may have been notified to the intended buyers long ago, and they began to prepare early, while other bidders may have to retreat because they don’t know;

        Third, the time difference, such as the day before the holiday, requires bidders to pay the deposit within 3 days after listing, deliberately crowding out foreign competitors;

        Fourth, what’s more, the default developer won the land with unusually high funds when bidding, but in the actual transaction, the government returned the high funds to the developer through some policies, and the actual transaction price of the land was the price agreed by both parties in advance. Therefore, the program of "bidding, patting and hanging" seems to have gone, but it is actually the same as not going.

        It is easier to adjust the planning and floor area ratio, as long as the main leaders are fixed. Because the planning department has the final say in adjusting the planning, and the process of planning adjustment is closed, lacking publicity, hearing and other procedures. According to the public prosecution materials, in the case of land corruption in Chongqing, Liang Xiaoqi, former deputy director of chongqing urban planning bureau, committed illegal acts, including helping developers to adjust the plot ratio and adjust the nature and use of land.

        Liang Xiaoqi’s case fully revealed that China’s land management departments have great power, but there are many loopholes and weak links in power norms and supervision mechanisms, and the decision-making, trial and supervision of land are not transparent and open enough, which is also the reason for the prevalence of hidden rules.

Eradicate hidden rules and scientifically evaluate land benefits

        How to control land corruption? People naturally point the finger at power, and think that the key to control corruption is to improve the system and mechanism, strengthen the checks and balances of power and supervision, and increase the transparency of decision-making, examination and approval.

        However, the interests in the field of land are huge. If what really happens under the appearance of checks and balances is the alliance of power and money, that is, it seems that it is actually a "hidden rule" according to the "explicit rules", and the law will be a dead letter. Without a scientific land revenue evaluation system and empty talk about power supervision, it is a tree without roots. Unspoken rules remind us that we need to put more energy into the evaluation of land benefits, introduce scientific evaluation system, control flexible benefits and gray benefits, and narrow the space of power rent-seeking, so as to truly minimize post risks.

Official testimony

        "With the gradual increase in contact with developers, in the communication activities with some big money, my thoughts have changed color and I envy the lifestyle of being intoxicated. There is a serious misunderstanding of the purpose, meaning and realization of one’s own value in life. He thinks that the market economy is the capital economy, and only when you have money can you have everything, and you have the right not to expire. Deviations in ideological understanding have led to bigger mistakes. " -Du Jianping, former deputy director of Huai ‘an Land and Resources Bureau of Jiangsu Province

Second, the director of transportation

What is the crux of "high-speed" corruption

Post risk coefficient: five and a half stars

        Risk point: the degree of marketization of China’s highway construction system is far from enough.

        1. Being both the Chief Executive and the business leader;

        2. The project is profitable and rent-seeking is simple;

        3. monopoly of power and lack of supervision;

        4. lax management and imperfect mechanism.

        In recent years, the incident of the director of transportation falling off the horse is not uncommon, and the problem of "traffic corruption" is becoming more and more serious. According to incomplete statistics, in the past 20 years, there have been 16 officials who have served as local transportation directors (full-time), and if deputy directors are counted, this number exceeds 30. Among them, in Henan Province, Zeng Jincheng, Zhang Kuntong, Shi Faliang and Dong Yongan were successively dismissed, and in Shanxi Province, Wang Xiaolin and Duan Jianguo were successively dismissed. The corruption of officials of the Communications Department can be described as "wave upon wave".

        On December 28th, 2009, Lei Jianmin, the former director of Linwei District Transportation Bureau in Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, was sentenced to life imprisonment and deprived of political rights for life by the Weinan Intermediate People’s Court for committing the crimes of corruption, bribery and huge amount of unidentified property. In the trial court, Lei Jianmin regretted it. "I finally fell on the’ corruption road’ laid by myself!"

        The above cases are only part of the corrupt traffic director, which is why public opinion calls the traffic director a "high-risk group". According to the survey results of People’s Forum Magazine, 58% of the respondents agree that the post risk of traffic director is high, ranking second.

        In order to put an end to the black hole in the traffic system, the central and local governments have promulgated relevant laws, regulations, systems and measures, and strengthened the anti-corruption efforts. However, the problem is that while laws and policies are constantly being promulgated, corruption cases are instead "wildfire never quite consumes them, they are tall once more in the spring wind". The director of transportation has "rotted in the past" and the traffic cadres have "collapsed" in a large area, which reflects that there are indeed loopholes in the system behind traffic construction. The key point is that at present, China’s highway construction is in an absolute monopoly position, which is directly operated by government officials, making it possible for them to seek rent through monopoly. Specifically, its institutional defects mainly include the following three points:

        First, China’s current transportation investment system operates in a closed way within the transportation system. Almost all of a transportation construction project, from project demonstration, bidding design, construction supervision, budget allocation to completion acceptance, is exclusively responsible or led by the Communications Department. In this way, the disadvantages of investment, construction, management and use of the "four in one" and the separation of government and enterprise make the person in charge of the relevant department both the chief executive and the enterprise leader in the construction project; Being a builder and a manager, it is easy to make construction projects lack mutual restriction and supervision.

        Second, power is a double-edged sword, which can not only benefit the people, but also be inherently corrosive and expansive. In order to prevent the abuse of power, it is necessary to use power to restrict power and establish the necessary supervision and restriction mechanism. However, the management power of the traffic management department is too centralized, which can easily lead to the abuse of power by the director of the department (bureau) who monopolizes the power and seeks personal gain for himself.

        Third, the project investment system and the organizational form of traffic construction. The form of highway construction headquarters in China is the product of planned economy system, and its internal management is lax. In addition, the relationship between the traffic administrative department and the company responsible for highway construction is mostly mother-child, which leads to the departmentalization of government power, the individualization of departmental power and the absolutization of personal power, which is the source of corruption in the traffic system.

Third, the county party secretary

The Achilles heel of the county party secretary.

Post risk coefficient: five and a half stars

        As the "top leader" of the county, the county party secretary holds a large part of power.

        1. Different powers and responsibilities make it difficult to perform their duties;

        2. Maintaining stability and testing ability;

        3. The status is outstanding, and corruption is hard to prevent.

        County officials have been "people-friendly officials" since ancient times, and they are the bridge between the party, the government and the people. The county party secretary, as the "top leader" of the county, is an extremely important position. According to the survey results of People’s Forum Magazine, 55% of the respondents agree that the post risk of county party secretary is high, ranking fourth.

The supervision weakness of the "number one"

        How powerful is the county party secretary? In fact, the political, economic and social development of the county is relatively independent, and the county party secretary can have the final say on anything and anyone in the county; By the way, the county party secretary can stick his finger in the end, that is to say, he can catch big things and small things.

        The "interest temptation" faced by the county party secretary is also great. The "projects" such as urban demolition and restructuring of small and medium-sized state-owned enterprises at the county level are often "major projects" involving hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan. These projects often require the "final decision" of those county party secretaries with real power, and the "interest temptation" is a test for ordinary leading cadres.

        The county party Committee is not the grassroots, but it is close to the grassroots; Not on the front line, but face the front line. The secretary of the county party Committee, the party in charge, is in danger of "one careless move will lose the game" However, at present, there is no set of effective methods for the selection, management and supervision of the county party secretary, which often leads to the fact that the county party secretary has too much power and lacks real supervision, and there are problems such as "the supervision at the higher level is too far, the supervision at the same level is too soft, and the supervision at the lower level is too difficult".

        Because no one can really supervise the county party secretary, this kind of power is most prone to corruption. Some of them are rich by selling officials and titles, some are corrupt and bribery, and some are bent on being big officials to do their own things without dereliction of duty, indifferent to the interests of the masses, or even insensitive.

        Looking at the whole country, news of corruption of county party Committee secretaries has occurred from time to time. In Anhui, in the northern Anhui area with Fuyang as the center, 18 county party secretaries have been investigated and punished for corruption. In the past four years, Henan has investigated and dealt with 22 county party Committee secretaries for corruption and bribery. The most typical case is Long Guohua, the former county party secretary of Zhuzhou. Less than ten days after CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Central Organization Department jointly issued the Opinions on Further Improving the Credibility of Selecting and Employing People, Long Guohua unexpectedly made a case against the wind and suddenly promoted and adjusted more than 100 leading cadres, becoming the first "unlucky" county party secretary who fell before the central "killing order".

        With too much power and lack of supervision, it is not surprising that "county party secretary" has become one of the typical high-risk positions.

        The county party secretary has become the "local tyrant" in the county, and it is difficult to find the power to effectively restrict him within his jurisdiction. Under such a system, the degeneration of the "number one" will directly lead to the deterioration of the regional political ecosystem.

Is it really "the mountain is high and the emperor is far away"

        Generally speaking, the county level far away from the central city is often on the edge of political geography, which makes the asymmetry of power and responsibility and "a thousand lines above and a needle below" the biggest difficulty in the work of the county party secretary. Under the tax-sharing system, the unreasonable financial distribution and the lack of local financial resources also make these secretaries "a clever woman can’t cook without rice." County-level is a high-incidence area of sudden public events. How to ensure development and stability is a test for all county party secretaries. If it is not handled properly, the "Weng ‘an Incident" is a lesson from the past.

        On the one hand, this "political geography edge" makes it difficult for the county party secretary to carry out his work, on the other hand, it makes the hidden rules of officialdom more popular.

        The power of the county-level supervisor is too large, and cadres will regard this county as the personal world of the county party secretary. At best, they will hold an attitude of being irrelevant and hanging high; The bad ones take the initiative to participate in the hidden rules of buying and selling officials.

        This phenomenon is particularly obvious in some poor areas, such as Chen Zhaofeng, the former county party secretary of Dingyuan, Anhui Province, and Lin Longfei, the former county party secretary of Zhouning, Fujian Province, who are "ten million county decrees", all of which are typical of the county party secretaries of poor counties who sell their officials and titles to get rich. Because they are located in poverty-stricken counties, there is no other way to "get rich" except selling officials. As long as the appointment and removal rights of cadres above several hundred department levels in a county are tightly held in the hands of the county party secretary, it is an inexhaustible wealth.

        Du Zaixin, the former secretary of Jianli County Party Committee, mentioned in his repentance book that someone had reminded me that the former secretary of Jianli had "Eight donkey kong" magical powers and asked me to be careful not to repeat the same mistakes. And what about me? As soon as I arrived at Jianli, I was targeted by Dai, Hu, Su and others. The direction of the car was not where I wanted to go.

        Facts show that in addition to strengthening the training and education of county party secretaries, we must further improve the mechanism, reform the system and innovate the system, strengthen the supervision and restriction on the county party secretary’s exercise of power, let the power run in the sun, and let ordinary people truly become the main force and fresh force of supervision, which will greatly make up for the institutional defects and luck of "the mountain is high and the emperor is far away".

Confessions of a county party secretary

        Chen Zhaofeng, secretary of the former county party committee of Dingyuan, Anhui Province: I came to Dingyuan with a fiery heart and the idea of doing something. In 1990, I was elected as the deputy county magistrate. At that time, I was strict with myself, so I was indifferent to money. I often tell my family members what to do if some farmers, workers and needy households send some agricultural and sideline products and can’t refuse them? I will exchange alcohol and tobacco at home with him. I feel more balanced in this way.

        Now it is a market economy society, and people pay attention to exchange. The word exchange was originally used in commodity trading, but with the development of society to the stage of market economy, the word exchange has far broken through the field of commodity trading, entered the political field, personnel field and ideological field, and even become an integral part or a factor of people’s world outlook. Nowadays, people pay attention to material benefits. For example, when you go to someone’s house, you just say "Thank you, old leader" and so on. After you leave, the old leader may not say anything, but his family or others will say that you are all lip-service, all empty-play, so will people still talk to you if you have sex twice? Of course not!

        Therefore, one reason why I have come to this stage today is that the consciousness of value exchange has penetrated into my ideas. The second is to pay attention to benefits, and the word benefits has been more concrete by me. Chen Zhaofeng was hailed as the biggest greed in Anhui Province, with 110 official hats sold for 1.5 million yuan, and his horse fell in 2006. )

Fourth, the public security bureau chief

"White and Black" of Public Security Bureau Chief

Post risk coefficient: five stars

        Risk point: Compared with other departments, public security organs have extensive powers, and their management and responsibilities cover both administrative law enforcement and criminal justice.

        1. The social network is complex and full of temptations;

        2. bloodshed and sacrifice, life is a matter of life;

        3. Great pressure and danger;

        4. Keep one’s word, weak supervision.

        In recent years, the constant exposure of shady scenes has caused the image of some public security bureau chiefs to plummet in the hearts of the people.

        On July 20th last year, CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection official website announced that Wu Changshun, vice chairman of Tianjin CPPCC and director of the municipal public security bureau, was under investigation for serious violation of discipline and law. According to insiders, Wu may be suspected of using patents to gain illegitimate interests in Tianjin’s transportation field. It is reported that Wu Changshun has been the director of traffic management for 11 years and the director of Tianjin Public Security Bureau for 11 years. The 34 patents he invented are related to intelligent transportation and other fields, and most of the companies that hold the patents have public security backgrounds, and their business scope also overlaps with their management fields. According to experts’ analysis, this operation mode is easy to exchange interests in the procurement process and the reward link for the patentee.

        According to previous media reports, Wang Lijun, the former director of Chongqing Public Security Bureau, had invented as many as 150 patents.

        In addition, Xiao Qiang, former director of Leiyang Public Security Bureau in Hunan Province, Li Ping, former director of Nanzhao Public Security Bureau in Henan Province, and Guo Liang, former deputy director of Datong Public Security Bureau in Shanxi Province … were dismissed one after another. According to the survey results of People’s Forum Magazine, 51% of the respondents agree that the post risk of public security bureau chief is high, ranking third.

        If the resumes of these fallen police chiefs go back to ten years ago, many of them are "excellent policemen" and "star policemen", and some are even "star directors" and famous "directors who crack down on gangsters". Ironically, some public security bureau chiefs actually hit themselves when they fell. Seven years ago, Xiao Qiang, the star public security director of Leiyang, Hunan Province, was awarded the title of "Black Hero" and won numerous honors; Seven years later, he was swept by the black storm launched by himself and was jailed; On September 19th, 2000, Wen Qiang captured Zhang Jun, the number one gangster in China, and gained great fame. Ten years later, Wen Qiang put an end to his official career in the crackdown on gangsters in Chongqing.

        Some people say that the public security bureau chief is walking on the edge of the dye vat, dealing with all kinds of criminal crimes, illegal acts, hooligans and triads every day, and easily falling into the dye vat. Although the police chief is a "white man", he is in charge of the "underworld". In this society where everyone needs what he wants, if he ignores the party discipline and state law and deviates from the correct values, public rights will be combined with the underworld to form a close community of interests, with extremely bad consequences. "Black boss" or directly pay "protection fee"; Or let the "umbrella" share dividends in its long-term entrenched industries and enterprises, and even directly become the boss behind the scenes. In this way, all kinds of unjust enrichment are continuously transported to the hands of "protective umbrellas" through the extortion of "black bosses". At the same time, the "umbrella" keeps them at large. Money and interests are like a magnet with strong magnetism. The public security bureau chief should always try his best to prevent being attracted and struggle between "black" and "white".

        Why do these fallen police chiefs walk between "white and black"? Some people say that after becoming a director, the world is different, so simple living, who can’t bear the salary of civil servants, is out of balance in front of some "rich people".

        In the administrative system of politics and law in China, most public security directors hold important positions, either the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee (county party committee), the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, or the deputy mayor (deputy county magistrate). If the public security bureau chief works part-time as the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, the tentacles of power can also reach into the courts and procuratorates. Once the public security bureau chief deviates from the proper ruling idea and abuses his power, the harm is much greater than that of ordinary cadres.

V. Minister of Organization

The Dilemma of "Official among Officials"

Post risk coefficient: four and a half stars

        Risk point: the minister of organization holds the most valued power in officialdom and is in the most sensitive position.

        1. Subtle status and high sensitivity;

        2. Inside and outside the officialdom, layers of pressure;

        3. System defects are the biggest test.

        In the eyes of many people, the organization minister is an "official in charge of officials" and an "official among officials". He can directly serve as the party secretary or administrative chief, and he can "order hundreds of officials, but dare not disobey them". The organization department holds the most important power to select and employ people, and it is in the position of "taking the lead and moving the whole body". According to the survey results of People’s Forum Magazine, 47% of the respondents agree that the post risk of organization minister is high, ranking fifth.

The strong attraction of organizational personnel rights

        The greater the power, the more people pay attention to it, the more complicated the relationship needs to be handled, the more difficult the work is, and the more temptations it faces. Be responsible to the Party Committee and assist the secretary in selecting talents. Next, we should coordinate with the leaders of various departments, understand and master the basic situation of officials at all levels and departments, and provide reference for employment decision-making. Externally, the organization department is the department that has suffered the most "sugar-coated cannonball" attacks. It must not only resist the test from outside the public power system, but more importantly, it must face the intrusion of "running officials and wanting officials, buying officials and selling officials" within the system.

        This kind of erosion is pervasive, and sometimes it is hard to resist. Under the attack of huge interests, sometimes even family ties, those who are not strong-willed will corrupt and corrupt, and those who are honest and clean will be disturbed. The former, like Han Guizhi, took advantage of his position to sell officials and titles. Since serving as the deputy director of the organization department, he has sought benefits for 63 people or their relatives in terms of job promotion and job adjustment in ten years, and exchanged power for money, and the amount of bribes reached more than 7 million yuan. The latter, like an "honest official" in the organization minister, has to be careful from time to time in his work and be wary of everything.

        Several organization ministers working at the grassroots level interviewed by the author lamented that "the organization work is difficult to do, and the organization minister is not good." An organization minister even told reporters that he was afraid to go home during the Chinese New Year and hid in the classroom of the county middle school. An old friend wanted to see him, and he met him in a simple school building after being informed by his family. He said, "There are too many gift givers to send cards. I can’t stand it." This shows that it is difficult to be a good organization minister.

        Choosing a poor cadre is dereliction of duty, and the bigger test is the invasion of corruption. A little carelessness may violate the national law. The public power system is a huge "magnetic field", and the right to organize personnel has the strongest attraction in this magnetic field. Those officials who have fallen into the whirlpool of this power are unable to extricate themselves and eventually lose their reputation. Han Guizhi, who served as member of the Standing Committee of Heilongjiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and Minister of Organization Department in 1996, was involved in the "biggest official selling case since New China" and was sentenced to death with a suspended sentence. Xu Guojian, who served as the organization minister of jiangsu provincial party committee and secretary of Yancheng Municipal Committee, accepted bribes of more than 6.4 million yuan, and his death was suspended. Duan Yihe, Director of Organization Department of Qihe County Committee in 1976, Director of Organization Department of Provincial Party Committee in 1990. In 1998, he was the organization minister of Jinan Municipal Committee. In July 2007, he made a shocking "Jinan car bombing" and killed his mistress. In September 2007, he was brought to justice. Once crowding round, once keeping one word, all became distant dreams at the moment of sentencing, and hot power turned into cold handcuffs at that moment. I’m afraid only the parties themselves know the taste.

An irresistible temptation

        There are still loopholes in our current system, and violations of laws and regulations are sometimes hidden and difficult to investigate. But this one or two hand-reaching, is likely to become the beginning of corruption. There are many people who fail to grasp themselves in the position of organization minister and slide into the abyss of crime. The request of family members, the introduction of friends, and even luck make them embark on the evil road of helping others get promoted and collecting money for themselves.

        A good system can bring up a group of good officials, and an imperfect system makes many good officials "exhausted" and many mediocre officials and corrupt officials "successful in official career". Sometimes our system regulations are good, but it is precisely the executors who "skew the classics" in the process of implementation that make the system idle. The appointment of a cadre generally goes through the following procedures: after a vacancy occurs in a certain position, it is nominated by "relevant parties" and then organized for assessment. However, in practice, these procedures are greatly simplified.

        The case of Zhou Guangquan in Anhui is a typical example. As the secretary of the municipal party committee, the above organizational procedures were simplified to "those who buy officials send money-Zhou Guangquan instructed-the organization department inspected-Zhou Guangquan was appointed at the Standing Committee of the municipal party committee". Here, the organization department became the organ instructed by the executive secretary, and all the inspection procedures became a formality. Of course, the organization minister is to blame.

VI. Director of the Construction Committee

Post risk coefficient: four and a half stars

        Risk point: The Project Construction Committee can manage all aspects of urban construction in every detail.

        1. Work is directly related to people’s livelihood and interests are intertwined;

        2. Professional standards are involved, and social supervision is weak;

        3. The project has huge funds and abundant oil and water.

        The work of the Construction Committee is related to people’s livelihood, and the interests of real estate development, demolition and resettlement, and bidding for infrastructure projects are complicated. A decision of the Construction Committee may lead to social stability problems. In order to escort the construction project, businessmen from all walks of life can use all kinds of sugar-coated shells on the officials of the Construction Committee. Whether they can resist the temptation is a big test for the director of the Construction Committee. Personal professional risk is directly proportional to power and temptation level.

        Bi Chuanpu, the former director of dadukou district Construction Committee, said, "Being an official": The first step is to collect the boss’s "benefits" for many times, and he is more and more courageous. The second step is to collect the benefits and then lend them to the bribing boss. During the renovation of city street lamps in Dadukou, Bichuan Waterfall was taken care of by a company in the project contract, and the boss of the company gave Bichuan Waterfall a benefit fee of 140,000 yuan in five times.

VII. Director of Safety Supervision

Post risk coefficient: four stars

        Risk point: It is no exaggeration to say that the director of safety supervision is "sitting on the crater all the time" and "there is no trivial matter in safety work".

        1. Decentralized power, powerless;

        2. Local protection, heavy pressure;

        3. Corrupt profiteers are pervasive;

        4. Safety accountability, sword hanging high.

        According to the data of public opinion monitoring Analysis Center of Xinhuanet, from June 2012 to January 2013, in just half a year, 11 directors of work safety bureaus at all levels in provinces and cities were transferred or prosecuted or suspended for corruption, bribery or dereliction of duty.

        Each level of safety supervision director bears more important responsibilities than other departments and affects more important interests than other departments. Safety production accidents have always been the focus of public opinion. "If there is a safety accident, the relevant officials must be held accountable, which is a respect for life and law."

        The safety supervision system must face the pressures and challenges from many aspects at the same time. Although manubrium has been realized at present, there are still institutional and institutional problems, and it has to face the pressure of local protectionism all the time. The concentrated outbreak of long-term accumulated unsafe factors makes the director have to be afraid from time to time and walk on thin ice.

"I don’t know" the embarrassment of the director of safety supervision

        On March 15th, 2010, a fire broke out in Dongxing Coal Industry Co., Ltd., xinmi city, Henan Province, killing 25 miners. The reporter found Wang Ruilin, then director of xinmi city Safety Supervision Bureau, at the scene of xinmi city mine disaster and asked him more than 10 questions about mine disaster. Most of them said "I don’t know".

VIII. Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee

Post risk coefficient: three and a half stars

        Risk point: the city level between provinces and counties is the key layer connecting the preceding with the following, and it also shoulders the heavy responsibility of urban development and rural construction.

        1. Connecting the preceding with the following, with dual responsibilities;

        2. It is difficult to supervise the power of one party;

        3. Career turning point, a critical period.

        The secretary of the municipal party committee, as the "number one" in several or even a dozen districts and counties, some of whom also serve as members of the Standing Committee of the provincial party committee, is a powerful person, and there are no shortage of sycophants and speculators around him. In addition, these people have high status and great influence, which makes it more difficult to supervise them. In addition, when the secretary of the municipal party Committee takes office, he is generally about 50 years old, facing the "turning point of career". He will enter the ranks of senior cadres one step further and face the "career ceiling" when he stands still.

 The fall of the "number one" brings an official "earthquake"

        The anti-corruption storm after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has knocked down six incumbent party secretaries of provincial capitals, namely Mao Xiaobing in Xining, Wan Qingliang in Guangzhou, Zhang Tianxin in Kunming, Chen Chuanping in Taiyuan, Wang Min in Jinan and Yang Weize in Nanjing.

        The first row from left: Yang Weize, Mao Xiaobing and Wan Qingliang.

        The second row from left: Zhang Tianxin, Chen Chuanping and Wang Min.

        In 2006, a case of collective corruption in Chenzhou officialdom led by Li Dalun, secretary of Chenzhou Municipal Party Committee, involved 158 party and government officials and business people. "In Chenzhou, Li Dalun has the final say." The Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee became his "centralized". In the later period of Li Dalun’s power, the selection of cadres was directly related to money. "The position promotion depends on the thickness of tickets".

Nine, the state-owned enterprise boss

Post risk coefficient: three and a half stars

        Risk point: the unique position of being both an official and a businessman makes improper interests within reach.

        1. Monopoly position and difficult supervision;

        2. It is also official and business, close to the water tower;

        3. Huge benefits are within reach;

        4. Bribery traps are everywhere.

        Li Yongzhong, an anti-corruption expert, believes that in more than two years after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the main battlefield of anti-corruption began to break the stalemate. Although the situation is still severe and complicated, the internal corruption has begun to loosen, and the comparative advantage has been achieved. "It is urgent to open up the second battlefield of anti-corruption, that is, the anti-corruption in the hardest hit areas of state-owned enterprises and central enterprises."

        According to statistics, after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, there were 74 senior executives of state-owned enterprises and state-owned companies. Except for 13 people whose level information was unknown, there were 60 senior executives at or above the departmental level. Among them, there are four vice-ministerial executives, namely Song Lin, former chairman and party secretary of China Resources Group, Wang Yongchun, former deputy general manager of China Petroleum Natural Gas Group, Li Hualin, former deputy general manager of China Petroleum Natural Gas Group and Sun Zhaoxue, former general manager of China Aluminum Company. Central enterprises based on special status and advantages have become the hardest hit areas of corruption in state-owned enterprises, with 36 people falling off the horse, accounting for almost half of the country.

        On the one hand, it is the title of "red-top businessman" and its market position, on the other hand, it is a huge amount of bribes and a very high "imprisonment rate", which makes the boss of state-owned enterprises an enviable job and a high-risk position. "How much did the boss of state-owned enterprises take? How much should I get? " This is a controversial issue. The trap of bribery exists everywhere all the time, which is hard to prevent and fight.

If you can’t get "power", you can get "money"

        Wang Shengjie, former chairman and general manager of the board of directors of Guangzhong Enterprise Group, said, "I always think it’s unfair. Those farmers’ contractors used to be illiterate, but later they all made a fortune doing this and that. We have worked in state-owned enterprises for a lifetime and worked hard for a long time. In the end, there is no more income. So I want to get some benefits by running a company and holding shares. "

X. Director of Housing Management

Post risk coefficient: Samsung

        Risk point: As the last important supervision barrier set by the government for real estate management, the real estate management bureau has a great responsibility.

        1. Due diligence will prevent real estate disputes, while dereliction of duty will indirectly create real estate disputes;

        2. Due diligence will improve housing security, while dereliction of duty will condone speculation.

        Choose the former or the latter in the face of responsibilities and interests? Before the interests of the people and businesses, forward or backward? These problems have become the vane of the professional risk of housing management director. He can choose to bring the "black-hearted" director to justice in the management of real estate surveying and mapping, or he can choose to collude with the director. Imperfect system, inadequate supervision, and lack of sense of responsibility and mission may lead them to the point of no return under the temptation of interests.

 Zhou Jiugeng, the director of "sky-high smoke", encountered "human flesh search"

        At the end of 2008, when house prices began to fall, Zhou Jiugeng, the director of the Housing Management Bureau of Jiangning District, Nanjing, made a statement to prevent developers from selling houses at low prices. As soon as this statement came out, Zhou Jiugeng became popular on the Internet. Some netizens pointed out through "human flesh search" that Zhou Jiugeng usually smokes 1,500 yuan a piece of "sky-high cigarettes" and wears more than 100,000 yuan a piece of famous watches … Under the overwhelming attack of online public opinion, the local Commission for Discipline Inspection launched an investigation into Zhou Jiugeng.

        Wu Guangchun, member of the Standing Committee of the former Municipal Party Committee of Tongling City, Anhui Province, said: "I not only failed to manage myself well, but also failed to manage my family well. 90% of the money I received was transferred by my relatives and friends on behalf of my lover. These closest people sent me to court step by step."

[Tencent Technology] Why do we all feel that traffic is running fast?

Since 4G, people no longer complain that the network speed is slow, but the traffic runs fast. In fact, this is just a new round of history, which has existed since there was a mobile phone online.

Different from voice, the unit usage of traffic is not fixed, and the unit price is not fixed. That is to say, in simple calculation, the previous voice consumption is equal to (how long it takes to make a phone call) multiplied by (unit price), and the current traffic consumption is equal to (how long it takes to surf the Internet) multiplied by (traffic in a unit time period) multiplied by (unit price). In the voice era, people only pay attention to the billing duration and unit price, while in the traffic era, people not only pay attention to the billing duration, but also pay attention to the quantity and unit price of traffic per unit time. What is more troublesome is that the flow rate and quantity of traffic per unit time are always changing because of different application scenarios, networks, terminals and applications.

Traffic does run fast, and it is getting faster and faster, just like being stolen.

Although the opinions of all parties are different, it is an indisputable fact that the consumption of traffic is accelerating. Everyone feels the same, including the operators’ staff, and there are data to support it.

According to the economic operation of China’s communications industry in September 2015 announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the per capita mobile Internet access traffic in September exceeded 350.5MB, up 88.0% year-on-year and 2.8% quarter-on-quarter. In that month, the total traffic of mobile Internet access reached 390 million GB, a record high, and reached 2.79 billion GB in the first nine months, up 99.4% year-on-year. Among them, the mobile Internet traffic accumulated to 2.50 billion GB in the first nine months, accounting for 89.7% of the total mobile Internet traffic, and doubled for nine consecutive months.

Therefore, recently, people feel that traffic is running fast because it is really running fast, because the network speed is fast, the network coverage is good, and the terminal also supports it. This kind of speed is the inevitable result, and it will bring about the improvement of Internet service, the website is more gorgeous but consumes more traffic, and users use more content but more money.

First, the coverage of 4G networks is getting better and better, and more people can use fast networks in more places. If the channel is cleared, whoever flows will naturally flow faster. Don’t worry about what you have only used for so long and used so many things. After the high-speed rail is connected, many people can go back and forth to their hometown several times a year, and the ticket money will naturally be more, but you can’t blame the high-speed rail for being bad, but the services you enjoy are also increasing and getting better. In the past, one page was opened in one minute, but now it has become four, and the traffic naturally increases.

The 4G coverage of the three operators is greatly improved, and the network speed is accelerating, even beginning to spread all over urban and rural areas, and 4G+ has been rolled out nationwide. According to media reports, Guangdong Mobile focused on strengthening the optimization of 4G network in urban villages. By the end of June 2015, it had completed the deep coverage of nearly 90 urban villages in Guangzhou, and the average daily traffic of 4G in urban villages increased by nearly 50%. At the same time, the network speed is also improving. It is learned from Guangdong Mobile that by applying the "enhanced version" of new 4G technologies such as carrier aggregation, the 4G network in major urban areas and township hotspots in the province has been upgraded to more than 10,000 base stations, with the highest rate of 220Mbps, and the rate in some experimental areas in Guangzhou and Shenzhen can even exceed 300Mbps. Now, among 4G mobile phones, Huawei P8, Mate7, Samsung S6 and other models and new models to be launched by major brands mostly support dual-carrier aggregation aggregation, and Xiaomi note Top Edition, LeTV Mobile Music 1pro and Le max support three carrier aggregation. With the terminal fully supporting 4G+, the traffic consumption of these mobile phone users will be faster.

It should be said that this explosive growth of traffic is the expected result of operators’ traffic management, and only the rapid growth of traffic can promote the rapid development of the entire Internet industry, and can also bring operators enough operating income, thus promoting better network construction and technology upgrading.

The rapid increase of network speed brings content blowout, which makes users uncomfortable and unconsciously consumed.

From EDGE, people gradually began to learn to surf the Internet with mobile phones. In the 3G era, many people complained that the Internet speed of China Mobile was too slow. At that time, no one said that traffic consumption was too fast, because it took several minutes to send a photo, and it was impossible to consume much traffic. In the era of 4G, the network speed of China Mobile has soared, which makes many people who are used to snail speed very uncomfortable, and also causes the old users of China Mobile to complain about traffic consumption frequently after using 4G recently.

In contrast, the users of China Unicom and China Telecom now complain less about the increase in traffic consumption caused by the fast network speed, mainly because the network speed of China Telecom and China Unicom has not increased much so far, and the users feel less. It can be said that when the caravan used to the ancient tea-horse road suddenly changed into the high-speed railway, it must be surprised and suspicious, and it was deeply uncomfortable. However, passengers who were more and more used to the 200-kilometer bullet train changed into the 300-kilometer-per-hour high-speed railway, although they felt fast, they would not be uncomfortable. Many old 2G users of China Mobile have now achieved a speed increase from 0 to 1, while some 3G users of China Telecom and China Unicom only have a speed increase from 0.5 to 1. Everyone’s feelings are different.

More importantly, with more people using the high-speed 4G network, a brand-new era has arrived, traffic is beginning to repeat the story of voice, and the spring of traffic management is coming with the complaints of users, and operators will usher in the second golden age of development.

At the same time, if the traffic really runs fast, it will also give operators the space and possibility to lower their tariffs more quickly. Speed and price are both contradictory and mutually promoting. With the rapid growth of traffic, operators will lower their unit prices faster. Moreover, with the general increase of national traffic and technological progress, Internet applications will become more and more abundant, and the unit prices will be lower, and most people will enjoy the happiness of growth.

Passive consumption and loss of control in the circle are the real reasons why users feel that traffic is "stolen"

Nowadays, a large number of users think that traffic consumption is particularly fast, and it is difficult for them to believe that traffic consumption is fast under their own multiple controls, so they have to point the finger at operators. Newton couldn’t explain the source of gravity, but also let God be the master for once.

The high-speed loss of traffic, users and operators are not at fault, but the times have changed. In addition to the increase in network speed and rich applications, the increase in traffic from friends will also make your traffic "consumed", and this increase in traffic will make users lose control.

Users feel that the traffic consumption is too fast because they have lost control of the traffic. It is not that operators are cheating, but that users are forced to increase the social traffic that they can’t control.

When you send a big picture or video, you can choose to be in the WIFI environment. Conversely, when you watch a big picture or video sent by others in the WIFI environment, you may be in a network environment without WIFI. When you open it, the traffic is consumed unconsciously, and the use of this traffic is not easy to be detected.

Many people use WIFI to broadcast live, but many people can only watch it on the road or on the 4G network, because it is often overdue. This kind of traffic is forced, but it is not forced by operators. It is forced to use based on content or social interaction. The increase of real-time content is also one of the main reasons for the increase of traffic but out of control.

Many people are used to using taxi software, and they also use Alipay and WeChat to pay anytime and anywhere. Such payment is to link the network, and such traffic consumption is also that users can’t actively choose the network to control, and traffic consumption is also increasing. There is more and more social traffic, just as we talked on the phone more than ten years ago, even Alipay has launched social functions, and WeChat has WeChat campaigns and WeChat reading.

Different from the voice era, we have been locked in the circle in the use of traffic. In the voice era, users pay for making phone calls, while receiving phone calls is generally free, sending text messages is paid, and receiving text messages is free. Users and consumers are active and can control the duration or mode by themselves. In the era of traffic, active senders can choose different networks and scenarios, which can often be free and active, while receivers have to passively use traffic in different scenarios, which is often pulled, and it is difficult to control and choose free networks. At this time, traffic consumption makes users very uncomfortable, and even suspects that traffic has been stolen. It can be said that most of the traffic is not stolen by operators on purpose, but by the enthusiasm and wonderful content of friends.

In the past, most of the software only allowed users to connect with the software server. When the unit price of traffic continued to decline, the rapid growth of traffic brought ideal benefits to operators, and the traffic increment of operators did not increase, which completely deviated from the communication operation law in the voice era. Nowadays, there are more and more mesh connections between users. Although the value of traffic is hardly exponential, it has greatly surpassed the linear increase, and the future value of traffic has infinitely approached the golden age of voice.

Therefore, we can say that most users feel that traffic runs fast, which is the result of fast network speed, rich applications, good terminals and mutual traction between user circles. This is the future of traffic management that operators dream of, and it is also a new scene that Internet companies are eagerly awaiting. A new and brand-new Internet era is coming. We will all benefit!

[New Era, New Chapter] Hunan launched the "Year of Industrial Project Construction"-enhancing the core competitiveness of the industry.

  Recently, Malanshan Video Wenchuang Industrial Park, located in Kaifu District, Changsha City, Hunan Province, has been reported frequently: it was approved by the State Administration of Radio and Television to set up a radio and television industrial park with the name "Malanshan Video Wenchuang Industrial Park in China (Changsha)"; Shenzhen Chuangmeng Tiandi Technology Co., Ltd. and other five video creative enterprises signed contracts to settle in; Changsha Bank provided 20 billion yuan credit to enterprises in the park and opened Malanshan Wenchuang Sub-branch … … As a key project of "Five Hundred" in Hunan Province, the park has been listed in December last year, and has docked more than 80 enterprises, registered and settled in 34, and reached cooperation intentions with a number of strategic enterprises.

  According to reports, 2018 is the "Year of Industrial Project Construction" in Hunan Province. The province has selected "five hundred" major industrial projects in key industrial construction projects, major scientific and technological innovation projects, major product innovation projects, key introduction of top 500 enterprises, and key introduction of scientific and technological innovation talents.

  Standing in front of the main project of the industrial park "Malanshan Wenchuang Industrial Incubation Park", watching the busy hoisting construction, Shen Yumou, secretary of Kaifu District Party Committee, told the Economic Daily reporter that at the end of June, integration of defense and civilian technologies Science and Technology City, Pingrui Pharmaceutical E-commerce Industrial Park, Deheng Logistics Storage Project and other projects started in Kaifu District with a total investment of nearly 2 billion yuan; On the same day, Changsha’s prefabricated construction industry was "one alliance, one base and three centers" — — "Innovation Strategic Alliance", "Assembled Building Industry Talent Training Base" and "Assembled Building Promotion Center, Industrial R&D Center and Quality Inspection Center" were officially awarded in Jinxia Economic and Technological Development Zone of Kaifu District, which means that the service platform system of Changsha Assembled Building Industry was formally established in Kaifu District.

  "The project is an aggregate of various production factors such as capital, technology and talents, and it is an important carrier to promote economic development. To achieve high-quality development, we must rely on more high-quality projects to support and guarantee. " Shen Yumou said that since the beginning of this year, Kaifu District has vigorously developed a "3+1" industrial system focusing on financial business, cultural creativity, trade logistics and integration of defense and civilian technologies. At present, 33 industrial projects such as Ruikang Medicine, Mango Headquarters Building and Zhongguang Natural Selection have been introduced, and 4 provincial financial headquarters institutions have been newly introduced.

  In recent years, Hunan has insisted on innovation to lead the rise of opening up, highlighted the development of industrial revitalization entities, promoted sustained and healthy economic development, and accelerated the construction of a modern economic system. In March this year, the General Office of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee and the General Office of the Provincial Government jointly issued the Overall Plan for Promoting the Year of Industrial Project Construction, which established the general idea of the Year of Industrial Project Construction: taking revitalizing the real economy and building a modern economic system as the goal, taking supply-side structural reform as the main line, taking intelligent manufacturing as the core, focusing on 20 emerging advantageous industrial chains, and taking "five hundred" as the starting point, and constantly improving the core competitiveness of the industry. The specific goal in 2018 is to strive to increase the proportion of industrial investment in the province’s total investment by more than 3 percentage points compared with the previous year, the growth rate of strategic emerging industries is higher than the growth rate of total investment, the added value of large-scale industries increases by 7.5%, and the investment intensity of R&D funds strives to reach about 1.9%, and a number of domestic first-class innovations that adapt to the market and lead development are developed. We will build a number of modern industrial projects, bases, advantageous industrial chains and industrial clusters with advanced technology, outstanding characteristics and strong international competitiveness, introduce a number of modern leading enterprises with core technologies, strong industrial driving force and strong comprehensive strength, and build a group of high-quality, high-skilled and compound modern talent teams.

  In order to promote the "Industrial Project Construction Year" efficiently, continuously and healthily, Hunan has strengthened organizational leadership, implemented the working mechanism of "one project, one leader, one team, one plan, and one implementation", and strengthened policy support, supervision and inspection, assessment and rewards and punishments. Incorporate the annual progress of industrial projects at all levels and departments into the provincial government’s supervision plan and the province’s performance appraisal, and implement "one-season scheduling, one-year supervision and one-year assessment"; Those who have advanced rapidly and ranked high in the "Five Hundred" activities will be informed of praise and financial incentives, and will be supported in terms of project layout; Those who do not pay enough attention to it, fail to promote it, and lag behind in progress will be dealt with by informed criticism, interviews, listing supervision, and park demotion.

[Striving for a New Journey, Building a New Era and Great Change] Weaving a dense social security network to enhance people’s livelihood and well-being.

  Cctv news(News Network): Social security concerns people’s most concerned, direct and realistic interests. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has put the construction of social security system in a more prominent position, and pushed the construction of China’s social security system into the fast lane. At present, China takes social insurance as the main body, including social assistance, social welfare, social preferential treatment and other systems, and a fully functional social security system has basically been established.

  Since 2012, with the in-depth implementation of the universal enrollment plan, the number of people participating in basic old-age insurance in China has increased from 790 million ten years ago to 1.03 billion, and the number of people participating in basic medical insurance has exceeded 1.36 billion.

  From "wide coverage" to "full coverage", in order to make more insured and uninsured people have income, a sense of security, medical care and help … … Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has insisted on universal coverage of social security as the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way, and put forward the policy of full coverage, basic protection, multi-level and sustainable development. Following this new policy, a social security reform has begun: from unifying the basic old-age insurance system for urban and rural residents to integrating the basic medical insurance system for urban and rural residents; From promoting the universal enrollment plan, reducing the social insurance rate to starting the implementation of the national overall planning system of enterprise employee pension insurance … … In the land of China, people, regardless of urban and rural areas, regions, genders and occupations, have corresponding institutional guarantees in the face of risks such as old age, illness, unemployment, work injury, disability and poverty.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China’s social security reform has witnessed the greatest strength, the fastest development speed and the widest coverage. It is also a period in which people are most concerned about the most direct and realistic interests and the most urgent problems are solved.

  Liu Lingzhi, a retiree who lives in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, just applied for an electronic social security card online, so that she can directly "scan the code to buy medicine" in some pharmacies. Not only that, but in the future, her medical insurance credit card records and monthly pension payment will be "available online". From cards to codes, from basic social security services to diversified convenience services, social security cards are becoming more and more powerful. In addition to receiving social security benefits and handling the transfer of social security relations, they can also serve as medical cards, bus cards, park cards and library cards in some provinces and cities … … Nowadays, the number of social security card holders in China has increased from 341 million at the end of 2012 to 1.355 billion, of which the total number of applications for electronic social security cards has exceeded 540 million.

Xú Zhēng responded to the consumption suffering of "Retrograde Life": It is so difficult to make a movie now.

According to Sina Entertainment, Xú Zhēng said today that "it is very difficult to make movies now".

According to the news of Securities Times quoted by Sina Entertainment, the realistic movie "Retrograde Life" written, directed and acted by Xú Zhēng has been in constant turmoil recently.

Wandering stars

This film has been criticized by many viewers as "the rich play the poor" and "consuming suffering to beautify suffering". Xú Zhēng, the film’s director and star, objected: "It’s hard to make a movie now, because making a movie can’t satisfy everyone, and everyone’s feelings are different, but if you don’t watch it, you can spray it directly, which is unfair to a movie."

He also said that after watching the movie, the audience will accept all the good reviews and bad reviews.

Sudden! Japanese media report: The Bank of Japan is arranging to raise interest rates next week.

The preliminary results of Friday’s salary negotiation will be crucial …

On Thursday, the Japan News Agency reported that,The Bank of Japan plans to end the negative interest rate policy at its meeting in March.As soon as the news came out, the USD/JPY dived nearly 50 points in a short time, but then recovered all lost ground and returned to above 148.

The media reported that,The Bank of Japan will end the negative interest rate policy at the interest rate meeting to be held next week, and pointed out that it will make a final decision after studying the preliminary investigation results of this year’s spring fight on the 27th.. Earlier, the Nikkei News also reported that the Bank of Japan will discuss withdrawing from the negative interest rate policy next week.

At present, the rising wages of major Japanese enterprises are making inflation close to the central bank’s 2% inflation target. As more and more Bank of Japan policymakers accept this idea, whether to raise interest rates is expected to depend on the outcome of Japan’s annual salary negotiations, which will be announced by the Japan Federation of Labor on Friday.

This week, some large Japanese companies announced that they would raise wages, which exceeded the level in 2023, which aggravated the optimistic expectations of the market for the wage growth trend, and thus provided space for the central bank to make important policy changes.

Toyota Motor Corporation, Japan’s largest company by market value, said on Wednesday that it had fully agreed to the union’s demand for a pay increase, which was a record high.Wages in the entire automobile industry have increased by 5% or more.. According to the Japan Metal, Machinery and Manufacturing Workers’ Association, the average salary increase of 60 affiliated trade unions is5.32%, much more than last year’s level. Mari Iwashita, an analyst at Daiwa Securities, said that this "provides favorable conditions for policy adjustment".

Ending the negative interest rate that has been implemented since 2016 will mark a milestone for the Bank of Japan from its massive stimulus plan and its first rate hike since 2007.

However, earlier, some people familiar with the matter said that the interest rate hike in March was not certain becauseSome of the nine members of the Bank of Japan are worried about recent signs of weak consumption, which highlight the fragility of Japan’s economic recovery.

They said that if policymakers feel it necessary to examine more data, such as the business confidence survey to be released on April 1, and the Bank of Japan’s quarterly report on Japan’s regional economy, the Bank of Japan may postpone its decision until April. In addition, most economists also expect the Bank of Japan to "do it" in April.

Hideo Hayakawa, former chief economist of the Bank of Japan who accurately predicted the adjustment of the Bank of Japan’s yield curve control (YCC) policy in July last year, said that after adjusting the forward-looking guidance this month,It will be more reasonable for the Bank of Japan to cancel the negative interest rate policy in April.. He said:

"As of the latest meeting, the Bank of Japan’s forward-looking guidelines still tend to be monetary easing, and the central bank intends to lag behind the curve in policy. Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda may be highly aware that the bank’s past exit was regarded as a failure. Given that the Bank of Japan is currently trying to lag behind the curve, it is possible to continue raising interest rates after the end of zero interest rates. "

Reporting/feedback

What happened to Geely Automobile? It used to be the first domestic brand, but now its sales are bleak and heavily in debt.

Geely is "unlucky" this year, but it is in a quagmire!

It is reported that the merger negotiation between Geely and Volvo will be postponed until 2021, because Geely will return to the listing of science and technology shares, and the merger can only be suspended.

As the first domestic independent brand, Geely’s market value of more than 20 billion is far less than that of the emerging forces Weilai (more than 30 billion) and Tesla (600 billion).

On the other hand, Geely has launched many electric vehicle brands, but its main product geometry is bleak, and the development of Geely’s new energy vehicles is obviously weak.

With a negative credit rating and heavy debts, why did the light of domestic cars fall here?

How did Geely, once the first domestic independent brand, break the game?

Is Geely still a car company with frequent business actions and obvious changes in executives?

The sorrow of "Brother One": Geely is no longer "Geely"

In 2017, Geely surpassed the Great Wall and Chang ‘an, and officially became the first brand of domestic independent brands in China, and it has been sitting steadily for three years. Geely’s image of "One Brother" is deeply rooted in people’s hearts.

Unfortunately, the highlight moment of self-owned brands didn’t last long. Since 2018, China’s automobile market has ended its 28-year continuous growth, and has turned into a slow decline.

Among them, the downward trend of independent brands is the most obvious. During the three years from 2017 to 2019, the total share of independent brands dropped from 43% to 39%.

Since the beginning of this year, the market share of independent brands has further declined, leaving only 36%.

As a "brother", Geely’s decline has arrived.

As can be seen from Geely’s prospectus, the total sales of Geely’s three major brands (including Lectra) in the past three years were 1,247,100, 1,500,800 and 1,361,600 respectively, which has already seen a significant decline.

In the first half of this year, Geely sold only 530,400 vehicles. Even without the impact of the epidemic, the possibility of Geely’s sales rebound is slim.

The impact of sales volume is reflected in revenue. In 2019, Geely’s performance dropped sharply by 34.67%. In the first three quarters of this year, Geely Holding achieved a net profit of 3.087 billion yuan, down nearly 50% year-on-year.

Moreover, the current liabilities of Geely Holding in the third quarter were 168.328 billion yuan, and the short-term liabilities due within one year totaled 45.724 billion yuan.

In particular, Geely’s cash flow is also declining.

At present, the net amount is only 5.219 billion yuan, and in 2017-2019, this indicator exceeded 40 billion.

However, Geely is still playing the mission of an "investment company", acquiring shares in Volvo, Proton and Lotus, acquiring shares in saxo and Terrafugia, and establishing joint ventures with China Railway and Tencent …

Geely’s response to the financial crisis is to go public in science and technology innovation board, so that it can seek public financing, which is really a good way. However, this can’t change the current decline in sales. If the car sales don’t go up, the bleak performance will continue to affect the stock price, and Geely’s follow-up pressure is not small.

Aside from the big environment, what happened to Geely, who bought Volvo against the wind?

Ten years ago, Geely’s market value was only 3 billion yuan, and Volvo’s market value was also 2 billion dollars. The news of Geely’s high-profile acquisition of Volvo was ridiculed by the industry as "snake swallowing elephant".

Affected by the financial crisis at that time, most automobile manufacturers in the world struggled in the crisis, but Geely developed six modern work brands with great fanfare, and Geely also announced that it would launch six new cars in the next 18 months and threatened to develop 42 new cars in four years.

Everyone thought Geely was crazy.

As early as 2005, when it was listed in Hong Kong, Li Shufu, the founder of Geely, entered Europe for three years and missed his ambition to enter America.

While many auto companies are still breathing, Geely is eyeing Volvo. Geely believes that Volvo is in a trough at this time, and it is bound to gain great benefits by biting its teeth to buy Volvo through the trough.

At that time, Geely changed its business philosophy from "the boss’s name is affordable car" to "safe, environmentally friendly and energy-saving car", which also coincided with Volvo’s image characteristics.

After the acquisition of Volvo, Geely was in high spirits at this time, intending to narrow the gap between BBA (BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi). After becoming a subsidiary of Geely, Volvo achieved an increase in sales with the help of China bonus.

But it is also cruel that Volvo doesn’t understand China.

In the next decade, competing products such as BBA promoted the localization strategy on a large scale, and more fully tapped the "China bonus" of young users and low-level cities, further widening the gap with Volvo.

BBA’s usual way of playing is to invest in film cultural products, customize advertisements, and bind its own positioning with labels such as "high-end, status", thus catering to the vast number of China consumers who are getting richer and pursuing quality of life.

What is Volvo doing at this time?

There is only one "safety card" to play. Even though Volvo is second to none in the field of safety, Geely and Volvo are relatively independent, which makes Volvo completely ignorant of China people.

"Face" and "lining", BBA chose the former and Volvo chose the latter.

That is to say, at the beginning of Geely and Volvo’s hand in hand, the agility of flaunting independent brands did not bring too many competitive chips to Geely Volvo.

Geely’s worry: exerting new energy and getting cold.

Of course, Geely will not sit still.

In 2015, Geely launched its models, and in 2018, both models were "oil to electricity", and then launched the free electric vehicle brand "Geometry".

In 2017, in order to benchmark Tesla, Polar Star became independent from Volvo and became an independent pure electric brand.

In April this year, Geely once again hatched an electric brand: Maple Leaf, and at the end of July this year, it cooperated with Mercedes-Benz to form "smart".

Geometry A, Polar Star, Maple Leaf, and smart in the future. If you add the long-distance car and London electric car under Geely New Energy Commercial Vehicle Group, there are already six new energy brands under Geely Holding.

Under the general trend of new energy vehicles, Geely is ambitious and full of energy, but no matter how you look at it, you are a little eager to achieve success.

From the perspective of brand segmentation, the geometric positioning is biased towards the middle and high end, and the maple leaf is positioned at the low end. At the same time, there are several kinds of "oil to electricity", which seem to be different brands and different positioning.

But realistically speaking, many brands of Geely are too scattered in the field of new energy vehicles. It takes resources, time and manpower to build each new brand, which leads to resource diversion, weak competitiveness and no explosion of new energy.

All Geely’s new energy sources put together are not as good as others’ new energy brands, and as long as one explosion appears, it will naturally form a chain reaction to drive other brands.

Moreover, Geely didn’t seize the time. Take Polar Star for example, Geely started to operate in 2017. At this time, the new energy subsidy is still in a stable period, and Tesla has not yet entered China, so Geely has ample room for development.

But in 2019, the sales volume of Polaris was still 0.

With limited resources, you can’t want everything. As a result, you may get nothing.

Geely has a huge system. On top of new energy projects, there are many brands such as Link. Geely cannot balance resources on new brands and technologies.

If there is another reason, it is that Tesla, as an opponent, moves too fast.

In May 2018, Tesla was registered in Shanghai, signed an agreement in July, and the site selection was successful in October. Just after New Year’s Day in 2019, the Tesla Shanghai factory officially broke ground.

Moreover, at the end of 2019, the Shanghai factory has been delivered.

In the first half of this year, Tesla Model3 sold 45,000 vehicles, far ahead of all new domestic car-making forces.

With the lapse of time, Geely’s opportunities are also disappearing. Not only the super power like Tesla is in the front, but also the new car-making forces such as Weilai, BYD and Tucki are secretly exerting their strength, and they have also gained considerable market sales and attention.

It is still very difficult for Geely to seize the opportunity to surpass it.

Geely, which is slow to shoot on new energy vehicles, missed the development time and missed the opportunity. Under the general trend of pure electrification in the next decade, how Geely can keep the market is also a problem.

finally

Just a few days ago, Geely Holding changed its CEO, and it turns out that businessmen are better at doing business.

Geely officially announced that Li Donghui officially became the CEO of Geely Holding, and An Conghui, who had previously held this position, became the president of Geely Holding.

And who is Li Donghui?

This person is very good at operation and capital operation. An Conghui, who was originally in this position, was transferred, which actually shows two development directions after Geely, one is the traditional automobile manufacturing led by An Conghui, and the other is the new technology automobile road led by Li Donghui.

It is obvious that Geely’s intention is to let a financial person build a car.

Latma Island: science and technology innovation board’s first "car", Geely A shares seek medicine.

Zinc scale: Geely’s electric PlanB: Polaris foreground geometry?

Financial Unscrupulous: The Ten-year Itch of Geely Volvo

36Kr: Nearly five months after the suspension of market news, the merger plan between Geely and Volvo will be restarted.

Flower Finance: "No wonder Geely doesn’t engage in electric cars. It turns out that there is no money!"

Auto business review: In November, there was a heavy personnel change, and Geely monopolized six fights.

The "dark net" cancer has to be shoveled by the whole world.

  On June 25, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate held a press conference, emphasizing the implementation of three major measures to crack down on new drugs, "dark net" transactions and other new drug crimes. The mysterious network of "dark net" has once again entered the public eye in the near future.

  The operation is secret and the supervision is difficult.

  The Internet is like an iceberg. What people contact and use is only the tip of the sea, that is, the "surface net", while the larger and more complex "deep net" is hidden outside the reach of the public and grows wildly. The "dark net" is an important part of the "deep net", also known as the "hidden net". Access to the "dark net" requires multiple special means, and ordinary users cannot search and access it through conventional Internet means.

  This is also the biggest feature of "dark network". It can connect every terminal through a special network protocol, but at the same time, these terminals have no determinable IP address, but transmit through the "dark network" protocol. This means that it is extremely difficult for people to supervise the "dark net".

  The concept of "dark net" was first put forward by American scientists. In 1996, three scientists from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory proposed in their papers that the "dark net" came into being in order to build a system in which users could connect to the Internet without revealing their identities to the server.

  How can I get the content on the "dark net"? First of all, we can build a "hidden server" access according to the specific coding technology adopted by the "dark network". The user’s access request will not jump directly to the destination, but will be sent along a circuitous path. In addition, you can also obtain the "dark net" content with the help of targeted crawler (a program that automatically obtains the content of web pages) and specific search engines. Because the server address and data transmission of the "dark network" are usually "invisible" and the data and passwords are protected layer by layer, it seems that people can enjoy the ultimate "freedom" in the "dark network" space.

  Trade is rampant, threatening public safety

  Under the temptation of this extremely private space, the "dark net" has gradually become a breeding ground for evil deeds such as black-related, terrorism-related, child pornography, selling stolen goods and money laundering, killing people and stealing goods.

  It is also through the "dark net" that some drug transactions are bridged. The data shows that except for nearly half of meaningless data, drug information accounts for about 6.3% of the "dark net" information data, followed by extremist information, illegal pornographic information, hacker information and violent information, which also constitutes a threat to public safety and social order to some extent.

  At the same time, privacy security is also challenged with the rampant "dark net" transactions. In August 2018, the user information of hotel chains under the hotel group was suspected to be leaked, and the seller packaged and sold 500 million pieces of guest data in the "dark net". Such a "dark net" of unscrupulous sales of citizen information once again triggered public concerns about network information security.

  In addition, cryptocurrency has always been the biggest boosting factor for the "dark net" to mature. These cryptocurrencies with anonymous attributes enable criminals to circumvent the supervision of the government and banks and avoid the identification and tracking of relevant institutions when purchasing related "services" through "dark networks". The blockchain analysis agency released a report on July 1, saying that in 2019, the transaction volume of a virtual currency in the illegal online market of "dark net" is expected to exceed 1 billion US dollars, a record high.

  Upgrade technology and strengthen international cooperation.

  Using the "dark net" to commit cyber crimes has become one of the most prominent problems in the field of cyber security, and it is also the focus of international cyber security governance. In 2016, the Netan Corps of Beijing Public Security Bureau successfully destroyed a group that used Internet media such as "dark net" to spread obscene information about children for the first time, and arrested eight suspects. This case became the first case of overseas covert network crimes uncovered in China. In July 2017, the United States smashed the "dark net" black market trading website "Alpha Bay", which was the largest black market trading website smashed in the world at that time. In addition, Europol, the Netherlands, Thailand, Canada, Britain, France, etc. also participated in the action against the "dark net" black market.

  Although countries have been cracking down on "dark net" crimes, there are still many difficulties in technology and system. Breakthrough in technical means is one of the key elements to further crack down on "dark net" crimes. Qin An, director of the Institute of Cyberspace Strategy in China, said that at present, countries have made attempts in this regard, such as establishing a "dark net" space search engine based on threat intelligence clue mining, completing the detection and collection of "dark net" entries, links and contents, and trying to actively sniff "dark net", tracking "dark net" transaction data and reasonably mastering "dark net" network structure and data resources. Continue to map the "dark net" through technical means, mine threat information, and track and confront threats from the "dark net".

  Perfecting the system and strengthening international cooperation are also important means to crack down on "dark net" crimes. On the level of international cooperation, Lu Chuanying, secretary-general of the Center for International Governance of Cyberspace of Shanghai Institute of International Studies, believes that the main problem at this level lies in the differences in policies, laws, systems and technologies in different countries and regions. Therefore, in order to eradicate the "dark net", a cancer that threatens all mankind, we should actively promote the establishment of a comprehensive international law and mechanism to deal with the "dark net" cyber crime on a global scale, and at the same time strengthen interaction and coordination with relevant UN mechanisms and issues.

The wind has changed. It is rare for China to launch sanctions. 29 countries have been warned that many countries have begun to cut the US-Europe alliance.

Recently, the tension of the US trade war with China has intensified. Following the imposition of tariffs on electric vehicles, its allies strengthened their control over China’s semiconductor exports, which triggered China to take rare sanctions and issued a strong warning to a wide range including 29 countries. In this context, some countries began to re-evaluate their relations with the United States and the European Union, seeking distance. With the approaching of the US election, Biden’s term of office has come to an end, but the US containment strategy towards China has become increasingly fierce. A series of tariff measures in the United States, the European Union and Canada, as well as the escalation of Dutch export restrictions on semiconductors to China, all show this trend. Faced with this pressure, China had frequent and in-depth communication with the EU since the initial investigation stage, but the other side insisted on its own opinion, forcing China to implement unprecedented countermeasures, including four major countermeasures against Canada, one of which initiated the world’s first "anti-discrimination investigation" in a pioneering way, which was not only aimed at Canada, but also intended to warn other 29 countries and countries potentially considering similar actions.

China’s tough response has caused subtle changes in the international situation, and Spain, Norway and other countries have begun to show differences from the positions of the United States and Europe. Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez and Norwegian Prime Minister Steller visited China one after another, expressing their desire to maintain dialogue and cooperation in their differences and showing their diplomatic posture of seeking win-win results for all parties. The leaders of both countries have emphasized the importance of maintaining cooperative relations with China and are unwilling to blindly follow the US policy toward China.

In addition, Turkey’s trend is particularly remarkable. Due to the stagnation of the process of joining the European Union, it actively seeks to join the BRICS framework, with a view to promoting economic ties with Russian, China and other countries, and positioning itself as a bridge connecting Europe and Asia. Behind this move, Turkey’s judgment on the changes in the global geopolitical pattern is intended to find a balance between the East and the West, and at the same time, it also reflects concerns about China’s possible counter-measures.

On the surface, this series of diplomatic interactions is an attempt by countries to avoid becoming the target of China’s counter-measures, which in essence reflects the profound changes in the global power balance. As a force that can compete with the United States, the effectiveness and determination of China’s counter-measures make the traditional alliance face a test, and the international community’s strategy towards China is divided. The current dynamic adjustment of international relations is more based on the cognition and adaptation to the new reality of strength comparison.

China Consumers Association released the hot spot of consumer rights protection in the first half of 2023.

  CCTV News:According to the website of China Consumers Association, in the first half of the year, consumer demand such as holiday shopping and travel continued to be released, and the regulatory authorities created a safe and secure consumption environment to boost consumer confidence. How to ensure the protection of consumers’ rights and interests in the colorful consumption experience has become the focus of public concern.

  The China Consumers Association, People’s Daily Public Opinion Data Center and China Consumer Magazine jointly found that in the first half of 2023, the offline performance was "difficult to refund", the hotel B&B broke the contract infringement dispute, the hidden dangers of food safety problems of well-known catering brands, the poor service experience of video platform members, the infringement "trap" of research tour, the Carrefour supermarket shopping card restricted consumption, the air mileage points were cleared, and the online celebrity bamboo tube milk tea was exposed.

  First, there is a dispute about "difficulty in refunding tickets" for offline performances.

  Social influence: 95.4

  Topic analysis

  In the first half of the year, many consumers reported that they encountered problems such as "difficulty in refunding tickets" during the consumption of offline performances. Consumers complained that barley net, Fanwan Island and other well-known ticketing platforms had unreasonable measures to change their tickets and refund tickets, and topics such as "Why are concerts being refunded" were once on the hot search list of social platforms. Some public opinion has questioned that some organizers and ticketing platforms have taken measures such as real-name registration system to crack down on scalpers, but they have not matched the perfect after-sales service, and have passed on the business risks and costs to consumers, which is contrary to the original intention of protecting consumers’ rights and interests.

  In related disputes, some ticketing platforms responded with the rhetoric that "the cultural services carried behind the tickets are characterized by timeliness and scarcity, and once the tickets are refunded, the secondary sales will be affected", but it has not been recognized by the public. Many consumers believe that tickets sold in the aviation, railway and film industries also have such characteristics, and relevant industries have introduced specific measures or actively supported the "return and change of tickets". All parties in the offline performance industry should actively refer to the experience of such industries and properly solve the infringement concerns when the offline performance market is hot.

  Second, the hotel B&B was exposed to many infringement disputes.

  Social influence: 90.4

  Topic analysis

  Before and after the May 1 holiday, the "price increase and breach of contract" of hotel homestays caused public concern, and many consumers reported that the accommodation link became a bad experience in their journey. "Women’s booking in February is approaching ‘ May Day ’ Cancelled order ""B&B ‘ May Day ’ In hot topics such as lying about being seized because of prostitution for price increase, consumers claimed that they encountered infringement disputes such as "breach of contract" by hotel operators and booking platforms during their holiday trips.

  In fact, consumers have a certain psychological tolerance for the moderate increase in the price of holiday hotels. Consumers’ disappointment mainly stems from the fact that at the moment when the enthusiasm for traveling is high, the accommodation service that welcomes consumers is not based on more standardized management and more personalized experience. On the contrary, the merchants disregard consumers’ rights and interests for economic benefits, and they violate the contract with tricks, which undoubtedly "pours cold water" on consumers’ enthusiasm. Some consumers have questioned that some platforms are not sound enough to punish businesses for breach of contract, which leads businesses to dare to ignore consumer rights. Public opinion appeals that all parties in the hotel and lodging industry should show "sincerity" and actively change the status quo that infringement problems frequently appear during holidays.

  Third, well-known catering brands are exposed to food safety problems.

  Social influence: 86.5

  Topic analysis

  During the "March 15th" this year, in such incidents as "the blue frog in online celebrity restaurant was exposed and the kitchen was chaotic", "the meal was retrieved from the demon trash can for a long time and served to customers" and "43 cockroaches were found after Yoshinoya’s eating", the food safety problems of well-known catering brands were exposed and caused heated discussion among netizens. Many consumers called "the professional ethics of the merchants dare not compliment", "various routines make consumers lose trust" and "How many restaurants can withstand the investigation".

  In this kind of incident, how to improve supervision and let consumers "buy with peace of mind and eat with peace of mind" in the food field has become the focus of public opinion. Some brands take well-made meals and high-quality ingredients as their selling points, and attract consumers to "pay the bill" through various marketing means. However, there may still be food safety problems that infringe on consumers’ rights and interests under their carefully created brands. Once such hidden dangers are exposed, not only the brand reputation of the enterprises involved will be lost, but also the overall image of the catering industry will be affected. Public opinion believes that standardizing online and offline interconnected catering brands and stores has put forward higher requirements for regulatory means. To protect consumers’ "safety on the tip of the tongue", we can’t always rely on "undercover" exposure, and to make supervision more "sensitive" requires exploring various paths.

  Fourth, the video platform membership service is "discounted"

  Social influence: 85

  Topic analysis

  At the beginning of this year, many members of the video platform complained about their bad consumption experiences on social platforms, including limiting the number of login devices and the definition of screen projection, etc. Some consumers thought that some practices of the video platform were suspected of infringing consumers’ rights and interests. For example, some consumers who claimed to be "seven-year-old fans" of iQiyi took Aiqiyi to court for "unilaterally changing the terms of the contract, which constituted a breach of contract". Some consumers also said that in recent years, the membership fees of video platforms such as Youku, iQiyi and Tencent Video have been rising, but the rights and interests of members have been discounted, accusing the video platform of "coercive price increase" and criticizing the video platform for "eating ugly".

  Public opinion believes that in the fiercely competitive market environment, video platform operators can’t pass on all the pressure to consumers under various pretexts, or even "generate income" at the expense of consumers’ consumption experience. When some conventional services force consumers to pay the bill, it will inevitably lead people to question their formulation of the "overlord clause"; At the same time, when the video platform takes relevant measures to limit the reselling and dismantling of accounts, it should also avoid "accidentally hurting" the basic rights and interests of consumers. Public opinion appeals that the video platform should adopt a responsible business model in its operation, and sincerely provide thoughtful services for its members and users.

  Fifth, the infringement of the study tour is frequent.

  Social influence: 84.8

  Topic analysis

  During this year’s small holiday and summer vacation, the infringement problem in the consumption of study tours has attracted attention. Topics such as "Parents exposed their children to participate in research tours and were scolded by instructors", "Some research tours did not study" and "10,000 yuan of Qingbei research became a photo punch at the school gate" frequently appeared on the online hot search list. In this kind of incident, parents expect their children to broaden their horizons and improve their literacy through educational research tours, and they will not hesitate to pay high fees to sign up for various "research camps" for their children. However, they have encountered problems such as improper goods, mere formality and high prices. Some research projects have even been found to have problems such as inadequate security risks and staff punishing students. Many chaos makes parents and students "come on the spur of the moment and return home disappointed", which also makes many parents flinch.

  In this kind of incident, some research institutions blurred the key information during publicity, which made parents misunderstand the real situation. There are also some institutions that "bury traps" in contracts. Once an accident occurs, they will shift the responsibility to insurance companies, individual students and even parents, which leads some parents to fall into a situation of "difficult rights protection". Public opinion calls for strengthening the standardized guidance of the "study tour" industry, promoting the survival of the fittest in the industry on the basis of protecting consumers’ rights and interests, and giving students and parents more choices, so as to achieve a win-win situation between operators and consumers.

  Six, Carrefour shopping card to limit consumption

  Social influence: 80.4

  Topic analysis

  At the beginning of January, the media reported that "Carrefour shopping card settlement is limited" was reported in Beijing, Shenyang, Kunming, Wuxi and other places. A large number of consumers said that they were restricted when paying with shopping cards after Carrefour shopping, which aroused widespread concern in society. Some consumers said that in the past, Carrefour’s shopping card could be used to pay for all goods, but now only a small number of goods can be paid by shopping card, which is suspected to be related to the operating difficulties of many Carrefour stores.

  Public opinion believes that the incident exposed hidden dangers such as "low illegal cost of card issuers", which led to infringement problems. According to some media surveys, from the model texts of card purchase agreements in Beijing, Jiangsu and other places, the liability for breach of contract is limited to returning the balance of the gift card, and there is little agreement to pay liquidated damages to the defaulting party. This objectively leads to the situation that the illegal cost of the card issuer is too low, and it is difficult to properly solve the consumer dispute.

  Seven, the clearing of air mileage points caused consumer dissatisfaction.

  Social influence: 74.8

  Topic analysis

  On June 18th, Hu Bing, an actor, posted a video on social platforms, saying that her accumulated 500,000 China Eastern Airlines mileage points suddenly became invalid, and questioned the airline’s reminder service. For a while, topics such as airline points redemption, points invalidation, and points service have sparked heated discussions. Hu Bing’s experience is not a unique case, but a major factor that promotes the hot topic of the event. According to the media, there have been many similar complaints against other airlines before, and the problem of "clearing points" not only exists in the civil aviation field, but also involves hotels, restaurants, e-commerce and other fields.

  Public opinion believes that the hidden dangers of infringement on members’ consumption points have long existed. On the one hand, some consumers think that the consumption points are only the benefits attached by the merchants, and they don’t pay attention to this right, and they don’t know it when their rights are damaged. On the other hand, consumers are relatively passive compared with merchants, and there is not much bargaining space in the rules of consumption points. Consumers can only "bargain" with customer service when safeguarding their own rights and interests, and it is difficult to obtain an ideal solution. Public opinion appeals that when making points into value-added services to improve users’ stickiness, businesses should show enough sincerity in setting conditions such as deduction of points, redemption of prizes, and time limit for using points, instead of just using this as a gimmick to increase new users. When consumers want to redeem points and benefits, they can’t set up many obstacles, causing infringement disputes such as "difficulty in redemption".

  Eight, the shared charging treasure is accused of "good borrowing is difficult to repay"

  Social influence: 74

  Topic analysis

  In recent years, with the continuous expansion of user scale and usage scenarios, problems such as unreasonable charging, low charging efficiency, easy borrowing and bad repayment, charging after returning, forcing false advertisements, and obtaining personal information beyond the limit have become consumers’ "slots", and "charging treasure assassins" have repeatedly appeared on the online hot search list, and related consumer rights protection incidents have attracted public attention. If a consumer spits out that in order to return the "street electricity" shared charging treasure, he actually spent more than 100 yuan on oil to drive to the original place to return it; Some consumers said that they borrowed a "search electricity" shared charging treasure, and after returning it on time, they found that they were still deducted in the early morning of the next day and felt "wronged"; Some consumers said that the "monster charging" charging treasure rented in different locations was three times more expensive than borrowing it for three hours, questioning the "pricing mystery" of charging treasure.

  In related disputes, compared with operating companies, consumers are often in a weak position. In the process of safeguarding rights, they need to negotiate and communicate with operating companies many times, which takes time and effort to recover losses, and sometimes they are delayed, shirked and even deadlocked by operating companies. In addition, some consumers may fail to detect the wrong deduction of fees or privacy disclosure in time, resulting in damage to their rights and interests without knowing it. Public opinion believes that solving the current situation of frequent problems in the shared charging treasure industry requires the participation of all parties and joint management. In addition to clearly marking the price and other matters, enterprises also need to clearly indicate the consumer complaint feedback channels to improve the efficiency of consumer dispute resolution.

  Nine, online celebrity bamboo milk tea was exposed to food safety issues

  Social influence: 73.7

  Topic analysis

  "Bamboo milk tea" is a new product in online celebrity in the second quarter of this year. However, controversial issues related to it are also emerging on social platforms. Some consumers have reported that the "bamboo milk tea" sold by some merchants is not only expensive, but also tastes worse than expected, and even there are food safety hazards. If a netizen sends a video exposure, a tea shop in Tangqi Scenic Area in Hangzhou "cleans the moldy bamboo tube and prepares it for milk tea"; Some media exposed that the bamboo tubes of the bamboo tube milk tea shop in Nanjing Confucius Temple Scenic Area were directly labeled and sold to customers without disinfection, infringing on consumers’ right to safety and security.

  In the highly competitive new tea market, "bamboo tube milk tea" is a marketing attempt made by merchants to conform to the trend of "face value economy", and its popularity shows that this kind of product has a side that suits consumers’ preferences. However, frequent disputes show that the internal quality of this product is still difficult to satisfy the public. Public opinion calls for businesses not to trample on the "red line" of food safety in pursuit of profits, and relevant departments should continue to strictly supervise such "online celebrity" products to effectively protect consumers’ rights and interests.

  Ten, low-cost tour groups hidden compulsory shopping problem.

  Social influence: 64.3

  Topic analysis

  On June 4th, some netizens posted videos on social platforms. A female tour guide of a tour group in Yunnan forced tourists to buy goods, and satirized the dissatisfied tourists for being "indifferent, selfish and shameless", and the low-cost tour "forced consumption" infringed on consumers’ rights and interests, which caused heated public opinion. In addition, some media surveys have found that there are many chaotic phenomena such as "changing the itinerary at will", "killing customers", "compulsory shopping" and "tourists being stranded" in the low-cost tour groups for the elderly launched by some travel agencies.

  Some consumers said that the problem of infringing on consumers’ rights and interests, such as low-cost group compulsory shopping, has become a "chronic disease" mainly because tourism, as an experiential consumption, can only judge its advantages and disadvantages after experience, which makes it difficult to safeguard rights. Especially after disputes arise, travel agencies often hinder consumers’ complaints on the grounds that the specific itinerary details, the number of shopping spots and the length of stay are not agreed in the contract. Public opinion appeals that during key periods such as holidays, relevant departments should pay more attention to consumers’ complaints and reports about violations of consumers’ rights and interests by low-cost tours, and accurately crack down on illegal activities such as deceiving registration, concealing rules, and compulsory shopping, so as to eliminate "black-hearted merchants" who do not live up to their names, ensure the normal order of the tourism market, and let tourists enjoy a comfortable journey.

  On the whole, all parties in the industry are actively exploring various measures to improve the consumer experience, but it also exposes many potential risks of infringement. First, some businesses or platforms have inadequate rights and interests protection measures, which are inconsistent with the actual needs, resulting in some safeguards not being effective, or forming new rights protection difficulties and lacking "sincerity". Second, when some operators carry out online celebrity marketing, they only pay attention to the appearance of commodity packaging and the flow of brand communication, but ignore the inherent quality assurance of products, which has become an IQ tax that consumers dislike. Third, practitioners in some industries take advantage of consumers’ pursuit of "good quality and low price" to "cheat consumers" by sacrificing service quality and even infringing on consumers’ rights and interests, which leads to constant controversy. At the moment of promoting the sustained recovery of consumption, it is expected that all parties in the industry will take the protection of consumers’ rights and interests as an important part of their long-term planning in the subsequent development, taking into account their own interests and the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, and completely change the frequent and high-incidence situation of infringement problems in some fields.
