Shenzhen issued the first "International Edition" hospital accreditation standard in China.

  In the eyes of the public, "top three hospitals" are the golden signboard of hospitals. Similarly, many hospitals also need to obtain the "international version" of high-level medical standard certification for the needs of conducting business exchanges with overseas hospitals and accepting international commercial insurance payments.

  This year, Shenzhen took the lead in breaking through. On September 22nd, the Shenzhen Municipal Government held a press conference on "International Certification Standard for Hospital Quality (2021 Edition)" (referred to as "International Standard (2021 Edition)"), and officially released the "International Edition" hospital accreditation standard. This is also the first internationally certified hospital accreditation standard in China, which will strongly promote the internationalization of hospital accreditation standards in China.

  International insurance customers can "brush medical insurance" in China.

  With the increasingly frequent international exchanges, more and more China residents or foreigners need to use the international commercial insurance they have purchased for medical treatment in the Mainland, and many domestic medical institutions often need to negotiate and sign contracts with international insurance companies one by one in order to be recognized by international commercial insurance institutions. In order to strengthen medical quality management, many hospitals in China chose to participate in international certifications such as JCI in the United States and ACHS in Australia.

  Now, after Shenzhen issued the first "international" hospital evaluation standard, it will be beneficial for China’s high-level medical institutions to integrate into the international market by using "domestic standards". Domestic hospitals can choose to pass this standard, and the quality and safety of hospitals can be recognized internationally, especially directly by international commercial insurance institutions. Customers who purchase international insurance can directly "brush commercial medical insurance" and seek medical treatment in hospitals that have passed the "International Standard (2021 Edition)" certification.

  In the future, this standard will be popularized and applied in medical institutions in Greater Bay Area, including hospitals in Hong Kong and Macao, to promote the convergence of medical homogenization and cross-border medical service rules in Greater Bay Area, and to realize the intercommunication of people flow, logistics, capital flow and information flow in the Bay Area.

  At present, "International Standard (2021 Edition)" has been welcomed by some hospitals. Four public hospitals in Shenzhen (Shenzhen Hospital of Southern Medical University, Shenzhen Hospital of Hong Kong University, Union Hospital of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Shenzhen People’s Hospital of Longhua District) plan to take the lead in participating in the evaluation in the near future.

  Integrate the "Three-A" standards with international standards, and the standards "only rise but not fall"

  Xu Xiaoping, chairman of the Evaluation and Research Center of Shenzhen Weijian Hospital, introduced that the International Certification Standard for Hospital Quality (2021 Edition) is an upgrade of the "Three-A" standard and a fusion with international standards. On the basis of the National Accreditation Standards for Tertiary Hospitals (2020 Edition) and the National Detailed Rules for the Implementation of Accreditation Standards for Tertiary General Hospitals (2011 Edition), the center was compiled in nearly one year according to the principle of "standards only go up, not down", referring to relevant international documents and comparing with the requirements and principles of ISQua.

  The standard is divided into three chapters (hospital function and task, patient safety and medical service and medical quality, hospital management and operation), with a total of 186 evaluation items. Each evaluation result is divided into five grades (excellent, good, up to standard, substandard and unwell), which are reviewed every four years, emphasizing continuous improvement.

  The advantages of this standard are lean in quality and safety, global in risk management, systematic in occupational safety, meticulous in humanistic care and frank in doctor-patient relationship. For example, in terms of employees’ occupational safety, the "Three-A" standards mainly emphasize radiation safety, biological safety and chemical safety management, while the "International Standard (2021 Edition)" adds other safety clauses such as laser safety, manual handling operation, workplace violence and employee health intervention on this basis, and comprehensively requires the establishment and improvement of occupational safety and health management system.

  Foreign mainstream medical evaluation standards attach great importance to humanistic care and public disclosure. The "International Standard (2021 Edition)" has also joined the requirements of Australian ACHS and other international standards on "public disclosure". "In the international medical certification standards, it is necessary to actively inform and disclose the patients or the public after the hospital has an adverse event. In the past ten years, Shenzhen Hospital of the University of Hong Kong has been at the forefront of China in this respect and has been welcomed by the public. "

  Cross-border medical exploration in the "first demonstration zone" is a major breakthrough in the reform of comprehensive authorization.

  The International Accreditation Standard for Hospital Quality (2021 Edition) originated from the successful practice of "one hospital, two systems" in Shenzhen Hospital of Hong Kong University. As a pioneer of public hospital reform and medical cooperation between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, Shenzhen Hospital of the University of Hong Kong passed the international certification of ACHS (Australian Medical Service Standards Committee) in the third year of its opening (2015), and passed the accreditation of domestic top three hospitals in the fifth year of its opening (2017), becoming the first hospital in the mainland to pass both ACHS certification and top three accreditation. Compared with the experts in Hong Kong, the hospital found that the domestic standards for the top three accreditation are even more detailed and strict in terms of medical quality and safety requirements. The top three accreditation can be internationally recognized on the basis of integrating some foreign excellent practices, and the hospital has thus developed the idea of "top three" internationalization, which has been supported by provinces, cities and countries.

  In 2019, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued "Opinions on Supporting Shenzhen to Build Socialism with Chinese characteristics Pilot Demonstration Zone", and in 2020, the General Offices of the General Office of the Central Committee of the CPC and the State Council issued "Implementation Plan for Shenzhen to Build Socialism with Chinese characteristics Pilot Demonstration Zone for Comprehensive Reform (2020-2025)", all of which put forward the reform task of exploring the establishment of a hospital evaluation and certification standard system in line with international standards. With the strong support of the National Health and Wellness Commission and the Guangdong Provincial Health and Wellness Commission, in December 2020, Shenzhen decided to set up a non-profit third-party evaluation and evaluation research center-Shenzhen Weijian Hospital Evaluation and Evaluation Research Center, which absorbed senior certification experts at home and abroad, set up an evaluation expert database, standardized international rules, and integrated domestic evaluation practice, and compiled the International Accreditation Standard for Hospital Quality (2021 Edition), which was the first to realize the hospital evaluation standard.

  In February, 2022, the International Accreditation Standard for Hospital Quality (2021 Edition) passed the international standard certification of ISQUEEA, and became the first internationally certified hospital accreditation standard in China.

  ISQua is the only organization in the world that certifies medical accreditation bodies, and it is called "examiner" of medical accreditation bodies. More than 60 third-party medical accreditation bodies in the world have been certified by Isquaea, including JCI of the United States, KTQ of Germany, ACHS of Australia, DNV of Norway, and Taiwan, China Medical Quality Council.

Promoting steady growth, adjusting structure and preventing risks with reform as the driving force —— Unswervingly accomplishing the objectives and tasks of economic and social development throughout

  Deepening reform in an all-round way is the fundamental driving force for promoting Chinese modernization.

  On July 30th, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader presided over the the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee meeting to analyze and study the current economic situation and work. The meeting stressed: "We should take reform as the driving force to promote steady growth, adjust the structure and prevent risks, give full play to the traction role of economic system reform, and launch a number of mature and sensible reform measures in time."

  "this year is another important year for comprehensively deepening reform." In the face of arduous and complicated reform tasks, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader personally planned, personally deployed and personally promoted the comprehensive deepening of reform work, guided new practices and led new changes with new reform theories, made efforts to enhance the systematicness, integrity and synergy of reform, and made great efforts to make major institutional innovations. The reforms in key areas were carried out at a steady pace, stimulating the endogenous motivation and innovation vitality of the whole society, and providing strong support for the overall stable and steady progress of the national economy.

  The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China built "four beams and eight pillars" to further comprehensively deepen reform and promote Chinese-style modernization, drew a magnificent, clear and concrete blueprint for reform, and released a strong signal of unswervingly holding high the banner of reform and opening up.

  "Reform must be re-planned, and it must be re-implemented." Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, all localities and departments have further deepened reforms in an all-round way around promoting Chinese modernization, intensified macro-control, deepened innovation-driven development, deeply tapped the potential of domestic demand, constantly enhanced new kinetic energy and advantages, enhanced the vitality of business entities, stabilized market expectations, enhanced social confidence, enhanced sustained economic recovery, effectively guaranteed and improved people’s livelihood, maintained social stability, and unswervingly completed the objectives and tasks of economic and social development throughout the year.

  Increase the momentum through reform, persist in striving for progress while maintaining stability, focus on steady growth, and lay a solid foundation for economic development throughout the year.

  Reform is the driving force of development, and development is the purpose of reform.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "To further deepen the reform in an all-round way, we should highlight the problem orientation, focus on solving the problems of blocking points that restrict the construction of a new development pattern and promote high-quality development, the pain points and difficulties in the development environment and people’s livelihood, and the hot issues that are contrary to social fairness and justice, effectively prevent and resolve major risks, and constantly add momentum and vitality to economic and social development."

  Since the beginning of this year, in the face of the complicated and changeable domestic and international situation, all localities and departments have paid attention to the breakthrough and leading role of reform, actively introduced reform measures conducive to stabilizing growth, adjusting structure and preventing risks, and relied on reform to add momentum to development. China’s economy has continued to rebound to a good trend, and high-quality development has taken new steps.

  — — Expand profitable investment and give play to the traction role of reform.

  Machines in the CNC machining center roar, the intelligent production line runs at high speed, the mechanical arm moves up and down, left and right flexibly, and rows of hydraulic components flow off the production line in an orderly way … … After introducing three automatic production lines and updating 900 sets of high-end equipment such as CNC lathes, the production efficiency of Zhongwei Zhuote Hydraulic Technology Co., Ltd., located in Linxi County, Xingtai City, Hebei Province, has increased by 50%.

  In the first half of this year, the tax department of Xingtai City implemented the structural tax reduction and fee reduction policy in detail, so that Zhongwei Zhuote enjoyed the deduction of R&D expenses, the reduction of corporate income tax for high-tech enterprises, plus the deduction of value-added tax and export tax rebate. The tax reduction amount on the tax list is very considerable.

  The more investment, the more tax reduction, the positive pace of transformation and upgrading has been "rewarded" by the tax reform, and enterprises have increased their horsepower. "The tax incentives in the first half of the year were all invested in the research and development of the bent shaft hydraulic pump that is urgently needed in the current market, and an additional 20 million yuan was invested in new equipment to achieve full coverage of high-end CNC equipment this year." Han Shujuan, head of the company, said.

  A list of taxes and fees, recording the strength of reform.

  Comprehensively deepening reforms requires precise efforts. The reform of value-added tax has continued to deepen, the tax refund system has been continuously improved, and the structural tax reduction and fee reduction policy that focuses on supporting scientific and technological innovation and manufacturing development has been accelerated … … The burden reduction policy allows more enterprises to go into battle lightly. In April this year, the "Guidelines on Major Tax and Fee Preferential Policies for Supporting the Development of Manufacturing Industry in China" was issued, which provided a clear list for manufacturing business entities and helped them to better enjoy preferential tax and fee policies.

  Deepen reform in an all-round way and pay attention to system integration. China pays great attention to "hard investment" and "soft construction" as a whole, and combines project construction with supporting reforms. It not only compiles perfect plans, strengthens project management, creates a number of landmark projects, but also optimizes system supply, and breaks deep-seated obstacles with reform methods and innovative measures.

  The deeper the reform, the more attention should be paid to coordination. Focusing on stabilizing expectations, growth and employment, China has strengthened the countercyclical and cross-cyclical adjustment of macro policies, strengthened the coordination of fiscal, monetary, employment, industrial, regional, scientific and technological, environmental protection and other policies, incorporated non-economic policies into the consistency assessment of macro policy orientation, strengthened policy coordination, ensured concerted efforts and formed synergies, fully mobilized the enthusiasm of business entities, stimulated the endogenous motivation of economic development, and formed synergies to jointly promote high-quality development. In the first half of the year, investment in fixed assets increased by 3.9% year-on-year, of which investment in manufacturing increased by 9.5%, which promoted steady growth of investment, structural optimization and improvement of quality and efficiency, laying a solid foundation for steady growth.

  — — Stimulate potential consumption and make good use of the key variable of reform.

  Open and log in to the mobile phone application of Zheli Office, enter the item of "Registration of Self-employed Workers (Flexible Employees)", and click "Online Processing" … … In just 3 minutes, Ms. Wang, a domestic hourly worker working in Dongyang City, Zhejiang Province, completed the insurance procedures for flexible employees.

  A social security bill, recording the temperature of reform.

  Consumption is the "main engine" that drives economic growth. The reform of the social security system has firmly grasped the bottom line of people’s livelihood, making residents more daring to spend and willing to spend. The income distribution system has been further improved, and social security systems for flexible employees, migrant workers and new employment forms have been continuously improved in various localities, and the adjustment mechanism for income redistribution has been strengthened. At the same time, the business environment is constantly optimized to stabilize employment and income by promoting the development of small and medium-sized enterprises and individual and private economies & HELIP; … A series of reform measures have promoted "lowering" and "expanding". In the first half of the year, the per capita disposable income of the national residents actually increased by 5.3%, which was basically in sync with the growth of GDP, and the per capita consumption expenditure actually increased by 6.7%.

  Residents’ income grew steadily and their consumption level continued to improve. In the first half of the year, final consumption expenditure boosted GDP growth by 3.0 percentage points. The long-term mechanism for expanding consumption has been gradually improved, and the basic role of consumption in economic development has been further enhanced.

  Expand consumption to do "addition" and limit consumption to do "subtraction". "No new automobile purchase restriction measures shall be added in all regions, and the automobile purchase restriction measures shall be optimized according to local conditions in the regions where the purchase restriction has been implemented" and "Allow relevant cities to cancel or reduce the housing purchase restriction policy" … … Restrictive measures have been continuously reduced, which has "loosened" residents’ consumption.

  — — Accelerate the cultivation of new kinetic energy of foreign trade and release the development dividend of reform.

  A remanufactured engine, the cost of which is only 60% of that of the new engine, was successfully cleared and transported to Volvo Construction Equipment (China) Co., Ltd. in Pudong New Area, saving 40% of the cost for the enterprise — — China’s first import of remanufactured products landed in Shanghai. Breaking the import restrictions on used and second-hand mobile phones, at present, some pilot free trade zones have relaxed the import of 62 kinds of remanufactured products such as automobile engines, boosting the new trend of green trade.

  A customs declaration, recording the depth of reform.

  Reform should be deepened, and opening up needs to be deepened and broadened. With the relaxation of the import of remanufactured products and a series of new achievements, the first batch of pilot measures for connecting the Pilot Free Trade Zone with international high-standard rules have been fully implemented, which has led to a steady increase in the quality of foreign trade. In the first half of the year, the total import and export value of goods trade increased by 6.1% year-on-year, a record high in the same period of history.

  Market access reform enhances the "magnetic attraction" to foreign investment. The negative list of service trade "goes" to the whole country, completely cancels the restrictions on foreign investment access in the manufacturing sector, and promotes the orderly expansion and opening up of telecommunications, Internet, medical care and other fields … … Market access was further relaxed, allowing more foreign companies to share the dividends of China’s reform and opening up. In the first half of the year, the number of newly established foreign-funded enterprises was nearly 27,000.

  Since the beginning of this year, "taking system construction as the main line", various reforms have strengthened coordination, the construction of a high-standard market system has been steadily advanced, the system and mechanism for market-oriented allocation of factors have been improved, the formation of a unified national market has been accelerated, all kinds of ownership economies have participated in market competition more fairly, and market vitality has flowed fully, laying a solid foundation for achieving the expected goals of economic development throughout the year.

  Deepen reform in an all-round way, with a clear direction and a clear road. "It is necessary to continue to work hard in an all-round way to make the reform measures comprehensively cover the outstanding problems that need to be solved to promote Chinese modernization; We must continue to use real strength in deepening, highlight the focus of the economic system, and strive to break down deep-seated institutional and institutional obstacles and structural contradictions. "

  The Ministry of Finance will speed up the improvement of the budget system and the tax system, and use precious financial funds in the critical areas of development; The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security will improve the labor rights protection system that adapts to flexible employment and new employment forms, and create a fair employment environment; The Ministry of Commerce will improve the high-level opening-up system and mechanism, enlarge the open cake and lengthen the list of cooperation … … In the second half of the year, relying on reform and opening up to enhance the endogenous driving force for development, all localities and departments have made a good list of tasks and launched a number of reform measures that are mature and sensible, giving birth to strong momentum for unswervingly fulfilling the goals and tasks of economic and social development throughout the year.

  Add vitality through reform, persist in promoting stability through progress, vigorously optimize the structure, and shape new development momentum and new advantages.

  The reform trend is strong, and the tide of innovation is even stronger.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed: "To develop new quality productive forces, we must further deepen reform in an all-round way and form a new type of production relationship that is compatible with it. It is necessary to deepen the reform of the economic system and the scientific and technological system, focus on opening up the blocking points that constrain the development of new quality productive forces, establish a high-standard market system, and innovate the allocation of production factors so that all kinds of advanced and high-quality production factors can flow smoothly to the development of new quality productive forces. "

  The "Decision" of the Third Plenary Session of the Twentieth CPC Central Committee put forward: "Improve the system and mechanism of developing new quality productive forces according to local conditions."

  Since the beginning of this year, all localities and departments have anchored to "develop new quality productivity according to local conditions", accelerated the transformation mode, adjusted the structure, improved quality and increased efficiency, continued to deepen the structural reform on the supply side, accelerated the construction of new production relations that are compatible with new quality productivity, constantly opened up new fields and new tracks for development, constantly shaped and developed new kinetic energy and new advantages, and promoted Chinese modernization with high-quality development.

  — — Strengthen the supply of new fields and new track systems, and enhance the innovation power through economic system reform.

  In Xilihu International Science and Education City, Nanshan District, Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province, the laboratory and production line are very close. Nanshan District has set up a proof-of-concept platform here to help technicians cross the laboratory to the "first mile" of marketization.

  "Proof of concept helps us to transform scientific research results in a small scale first, and improve the success rate of subsequent substantive transformation. The platform provides accurate assistance around the whole chain of proof of concept, pilot-scale ripening and achievement transformation, not only for seed funds, but also for docking resources." Cai Chao, founder of Nanke Hegu Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. said that the platform helped the company to accelerate the industrialization of hydrogen production catalyst technology.

  Focusing on "strengthening the dominant position of scientific and technological innovation of enterprises", all localities and departments have made great efforts to open up the blocking points that constrain enterprise innovation, innovate the allocation methods of production factors, and let all kinds of advanced and high-quality production factors flow smoothly to all kinds of business entities, so that the "tangible hand" of the government and the "invisible hand" of the market can jointly cultivate and drive new quality productivity.

  The Science and Technology Department of Henan Province introduced measures to vigorously cultivate innovative leading enterprises and enhance industry consolidation’s ability; Fujian Province promotes the popularization and application of the first set of technical equipment; Around the three leading industries of integrated circuit, biomedicine and artificial intelligence, Shanghai has set up an industrial investment parent fund with a total scale of 100 billion yuan … … Reform promotes the deep integration of innovation chain’s industrial chain, capital chain and talent chain, and promotes scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation to go hand in hand. In the first half of the year, the added value of China’s high-tech manufacturing industry above designated size increased by 8.7% year-on-year.

  — — Transform the institutional advantage into the competitive advantage of science and technology, and the reform of science and technology system stimulates the vitality of innovation.

  China’s first "ground space station" passed the acceptance test, with a total of seven C919 large passenger planes delivered, the Shenzhen-China channel officially opened for trial operation, and the Chang ‘e-6 realized the sampling return on the back of the moon, successfully building the first international 6G test network integrating communication and intelligence … … Since the beginning of this year, major scientific and technological achievements have emerged one after another, big countries have frequently "upgraded their weapons", and the level of self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology has continued to improve, injecting new kinetic energy into accelerating the development of new quality productive forces. This is inseparable from the support of scientific and technological system reform.

  Improve the new national system, strengthen the construction of national strategic scientific and technological forces, and optimize the positioning and layout; Establish a mechanism for the overall arrangement and use of central financial science and technology funds, "set tasks according to needs and set funds according to tasks", and strengthen the overall layout of science and technology resources; Empower scientific researchers with greater decision-making power of technical route, control of scientific research funds and resource scheduling, and stimulate scientific and technological personnel to innovate and create vitality … … From top-level design to specific measures, the reform of science and technology system has been deepened, removing fences and cultivating soil for scientific and technological innovation. As of June this year, the effective number of domestic invention patents in China reached 4.425 million.

  — — Untie the rope that binds scientific and technological innovation, reform the talent mechanism and build a good innovation ecology.

  The classroom is also a laboratory, which builds a bridge between outstanding students and technical talents.

  This year, Song Junteng, an undergraduate from Shenzhen University of Technology, found his future research direction by participating in the research group of the Institute of Digital Studies, Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences: "The school helps students enter the laboratory, and the integration of production and education, science and education, makes me clearly focus on data."

  More and more colleges and universities cooperate with scientific research institutes to promote the reform of the system and mechanism of educational science and technology talents, so that talents, the first resource, can fully flow in and better transform China’s educational advantages and talent advantages into development advantages and competitive advantages. The trinity of education, science and technology and talents has promoted more outstanding young scientific and technological talents to take the lead. As of March this year, more than 1,100 national key R&D projects have been led by young scientists under the age of 40, which has reached more than 20% of the total.

  The depth of reform is the time when innovation is surging.

  The transformation of traditional industries has accelerated. In Hunan, through the comprehensive application of cutting-edge technologies such as intelligent scheduling, industrial AI, digital twinning and industrial Internet, an excavator can be produced every 6 minutes on average.

  Emerging industries are booming. In Shanghai, drones have increased the efficiency of take-away distribution by 40%, and the low-altitude economy has "taken off" to empower all walks of life.

  Accelerate the layout of industries in the future. In Anhui, the third-generation independent superconducting quantum computer "Benyuanwukong" was launched, and this computer has successfully completed 250,000 global quantum computing tasks.

  … … … …

  Traditional industries live because of "newness" and the economic structure advances because of "newness". Firmly grasping the "bull’s nose" of scientific and technological innovation, opening up a new development track with new quality productivity, enhancing new development momentum, shaping new development advantages, and striving to win the initiative in future development will provide a strong impetus for unswervingly completing the goals and tasks of economic and social development throughout the year.

  Solve problems through reform, coordinate high-quality development and high-level safety, and prevent and resolve various risk challenges.

  Security is the premise of development, and development is the guarantee of security.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out: "Insist on overall planning development and security, insist on paying equal attention to development and security, and realize the benign interaction between high-quality development and high-level security."

  The "Decision" of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee clearly stated: "Deal with the major relations such as economy and society, government and market, efficiency and fairness, vitality and order, development and security".

  The summer grain has been harvested again, and the energy security guarantee ability and the toughness of the industrial chain supply chain have been improved, keeping the bottom line of not having systematic risks … … Since the beginning of this year, all localities and departments have further deepened reforms in an all-round way, and used more perfect systems to prevent and resolve risks and effectively meet challenges.

  — — Secure the "two rice bowls" of grain and energy and build a solid foundation for risk prevention.

  Food security is the biggest thing in the country.

  On March 19th, during the spring ploughing season, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to Xiejiapu Town, Dingcheng District, Changde City, Hunan Province. Dai Hong, a big grain grower, said that the net income of farming last year was more than 550,000 yuan, and the government subsidized more than 70,000 yuan. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader was very happy: "Grain farmers can’t suffer losses, and they have money to earn, so they have the enthusiasm to grow grain."

  On June 11th, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader presided over the fifth meeting of the 20th Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform, which deliberated and adopted important documents to improve the income guarantee mechanism for grain farmers and the interest compensation mechanism for major grain producing areas.

  Cultivated land is the lifeblood of food security. Since the beginning of this year, policies and financial guarantees have been continuously strengthened, and the mechanisms for construction, acceptance and management of high-standard farmland have been continuously improved. In the first quarter of this year, China completed the construction, transformation and upgrading of high-standard farmland area of about 10 million mu, laying a solid foundation for winning the annual grain harvest.

  At the same time, through comprehensively deepening reforms, industrial "food" — — The energy "rice bowl" is also more secure. Since the beginning of this year, the construction of a unified national electricity market system has been accelerated, and more than 60% of the electricity consumption of the whole society has been market-oriented. The oil and gas market system has initially taken shape, and the medium and long-term coal contract system and market price formation mechanism have been continuously improved; The draft energy law has entered the deliberation process of the National People’s Congress, and the revision of the electricity law, coal law and renewable energy law is progressing in an orderly manner … … The dividend of energy reform has been continuously released, inspiring all kinds of business entities to work together to promote high-quality energy development.

  — — Promote the safety of industrial chain supply chain and improve the level of risk response.

  This year, the first prototype of a 300 MW F-class heavy-duty gas turbine independently developed by China rolled off the production line, which has played a significant role in promoting the progress of basic disciplines and industrial technology development of gas turbines in China.

  Core technologies accelerate breakthroughs and help the industrial chain supply chain to be self-controllable. China has continuously improved the new national system, made overall plans to tackle key core technology problems, improved the development system and mechanism of key industrial chains, promoted technological research and application of achievements throughout the chain, and accelerated the development of key industrial chains such as integrated circuits and industrial mother machines.

  Backbone enterprises are constantly emerging, and the supply chain of the traction industry chain is developing and growing.

On three monopolistic behaviors stipulated by law

????????On the afternoon of June 25th, 2007, the 28th meeting of the 10th the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) reviewed the draft anti-monopoly law of the People’s Republic of China in groups, and the speeches were summarized as follows:

????????(A) on the monopoly agreement
????????Alex Chen (deputy to the National People’s Congress) said that it is proposed to amend Item 6 of Article 13: "Other monopoly agreements recognized by anti-monopoly law enforcement agencies" to "Other monopoly agreements that exclude or restrict competition". Because the original text excludes the due process of judicial review. It is suggested to add provisions on the application for exemption procedure after Chapter 2. Because there are no requirements for applying for exemption and application procedures in the draft, operators cannot judge the legality of their actions. We should let the law guide enterprises to declare independently, not just rely on government inspection, change the way of government control and save administrative costs.

????????Committee member Fang Xin said that Article 14 "prohibits business operators from reaching the following monopoly agreements with counterparties", including "fixing the lowest price for reselling goods to third parties". But in practice, this is a common practice for domestic and foreign enterprises. In order to maintain the brand image of the enterprise, the final market price will be limited in the sales contract, such as the market price of specialty stores and brand stores. Whether the current writing is too absolute, and whether the lowest price of goods sold by consignment or agency and the price limit between parent and subsidiary companies should be allowed can be reconsidered.

????????Member Nan Zhenzhong said that Article 15 (5) of the draft anti-monopoly law stipulates that "due to the economic downturn, in order to alleviate the serious decline in sales or the obvious surplus of production". "Economic depression" is very complicated, including global economic depression, national economic depression, regional economic depression, industrial economic depression and so on. It is suggested that the exact meaning and judgment standard of "economic recession" should be further clarified in order to make the exemption standard more clear.

????????(2) Abuse of dominant market position
????????Member Nan Zhenzhong said that Article 16 (2) of the draft anti-monopoly law stipulates that "goods are sold at a price lower than the cost without justifiable reasons;" It is suggested that "without justifiable reasons" be changed to "for the purpose of crowding out competitors". Because the standard without justifiable reasons is vague, and selling goods below the cost price to crowd out competition and then monopolize is a common means of abusing market dominance, this amendment makes this provision more targeted. Article 16 (5) of the draft anti-monopoly law stipulates that "tying goods or attaching other unreasonable trading conditions to transactions without justifiable reasons;" It is suggested that "without justifiable reasons" be changed to "against consumers’ wishes" and amended to "against consumers’ wishes, tying goods or attaching other unreasonable trading conditions to transactions;" Because the standard of no justifiable reason is vague, whether tying goods is legal should be judged by the wishes of consumers. The anti-monopoly law restricts the tying of goods against consumers’ wishes.

????????Ying Songnian (member of the Internal Affairs Judicial Committee of the National People’s Congress) said that Article 16, the legal responsibility for abusing market dominance lies in Article 46. If an operator abuses market dominance and excludes or restricts competition in violation of the provisions of this Law, it seems that the abuse of market dominance will bear legal responsibility only in the case of restriction and exclusion, but in fact, the abuse of market dominance mentioned in Article 16 is not just exclusion and restriction. I suggest that the legal liability of Article 46 should be further improved, and it should correspond to all kinds of situations mentioned in Chapter 3, Abuse of dominant market position, and have specific legal liabilities.

????????Committee member Fang Xin said that the first paragraph of Article 16 "sells goods at an unfairly high price or buys goods at an unfairly low price", and I think "unfair" is not very accurate. I suggest changing it to "sells goods at a significantly higher price than the market price or buys goods at a significantly lower price than the market price". The last few paragraphs all say "without justifiable reasons". I think if possible, it’s best to write clearly what we want to limit. For example, in paragraph 2, "without justifiable reasons" can be changed to "selling goods at a price below the cost for the purpose of excluding competitors". In paragraph 5, "without justifiable reasons" can be changed to "tying goods or attaching other unreasonable trading conditions when trading". Article 18, paragraphs 2 and 3 have two or three operators as a whole or three operators as a whole. I think "as a whole" is also a very vague concept. The key is to see if these two or three operators have a specific relationship. If there is a specific relationship, it should be restricted. If there is no specific relationship, how can it be regarded as a whole and it can be said that it has a dominant market position? It is suggested to stipulate whether there is a specific relationship.

????????Committee member Wang Weicheng said that regarding the abuse of market dominance in Article 16, it is suggested to add one item after the six items, namely, "the enterprise has acquired advanced technology, which is not used or not actually promoted", which also belongs to the abuse of market dominance. Enterprises have money, and this technology is beneficial to the country and the market, but it may be unfavorable to the main traditional business of the enterprise, which hinders technological progress.

????????Dai Songling (deputy to the National People’s Congress) said that the enterprises that abuse market dominance are mainly public enterprises, and the law should increase the punishment for these enterprises. For example, the water company forces users to buy their designated water supply equipment, and the gas company forces users to buy their designated gas stoves and water heaters. All kinds of information service fees imposed on users by communication departments when they buy mobile phones, such as caller ID, weather forecast, reading newspapers and so on. For these enterprises that abuse the dominant market position, we should increase the punishment, and at the same time give corresponding punishment to those responsible.??

????????Liu Qingfeng (deputy to the National People’s Congress) said that Article 16 of Chapter 3 talked about the abuse of market dominance, and I think it is very important to lead to the abuse of market dominance by market dominant operators. Article 5, tying goods without justifiable reasons, or attaching other unreasonable trading conditions, has something to do with what I mentioned above, but it is not exactly the same. Tying goods means selling another kind of goods that we already have, hoping to bundle them together, but when our industry faces transnational competition, some situations are more serious than this. I suggest adding "bundling other commodities or giving other commodities free of charge among commodities in a dominant market position without justifiable reasons, which seriously affects the market order of bundled commodities or giving other commodities free of charge". For example, if the operating system provided by Microsoft is to regard intelligent voice technology as an inseparable part of the operating system, this is malicious binding, rather than the general concept of goods. In addition, if it is not an integral part of the operating system, but it is given away for free when the operating system is sold, this is a hitchhiking. It will have a serious impact on the national voice industry. Therefore, it is suggested that this issue be further clarified, otherwise, the development of our national intelligent software will always face huge monopoly risks.

????????Alex Chen (deputy to the National People’s Congress) said: First, it is suggested that the second paragraph of Article 18 be amended as follows: "In the cases specified in the first, second and third paragraphs, if an operator has evidence to the contrary to prove that it does not have a dominant market position, it should not be presumed that the operator has a dominant market position." The reasons are as follows: First, in most cases, operators with the market share specified in Article 18 generally have a dominant position in the market, but in some cases, it is wrong to make the above presumption, such as when the barriers to entry in the relevant market are low, or when the entry into the relevant market is short, or when the superior resources of the above operators are almost exhausted, or when the patent right is about to expire, and so on. Second, in this clause, the burden of proof is assigned to the operator, and the law enforcement agencies can save law enforcement resources according to this presumption, and also give the operator a chance to refute it to ensure that the presumption is fair and accurate. Two, it is suggested that the second paragraph of article sixteenth be amended as "operators shall not sell goods at a price lower than the operating cost for the purpose of excluding competitors". The reasons are as follows: First, the amendment is copied from Article 11 of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law, which will make the "two laws" consistent in regulating predatory pricing. Second, as far as predatory pricing is concerned, there is a dispute between "purpose" and "effect" in the practice and theory of anti-monopoly law. The United States uses the "effect" standard to determine whether it constitutes predatory pricing, that is, whether the operators with dominant market position can implement predatory pricing,And take the competitors out of the market and recover the losses suffered by predatory pricing or earn non-competitive profits as the standard. If the "cost" can be recovered, it will constitute predatory pricing. Australia, on the other hand, adopts the "purpose" standard, that is, as long as the operators with dominant market position abuse their dominant position and compete with competitors at a price lower than the cost price for the purpose of excluding competitors, it constitutes predatory pricing, regardless of whether the predators can recover the "cost" afterwards. Comparing the "purpose" and "effect" standards, the "purpose" standard is more effective in combating predatory pricing, more operable and more in line with the purpose of competition law. However, the "effect" standard will affect the enthusiasm of operators for competition, and it is difficult to distinguish between what is beneficial to competition and what is anti-competitive, because the effect of competition will hurt one side of competition. Moreover, before the predatory price war has an "effect", the plundered will not be able to stop the predatory behavior of the marauders, because it has not yet had an effect. If you can, you can only assume that the predator can recover the "cost" after excluding the prey. This assumption is obviously not conducive to competitive behavior. The "purpose" standard can make up for the defects of the "effect" standard in this respect. First of all, the "purpose" standard can prevent operators with dominant market position from abusing their dominant position. Secondly, the element of "market dominance" in predatory pricing can also play the role of "effect" standard, because only operators with market dominance can recover costs or obtain excess profits after the predatory price war.Therefore, we suggest making the above amendments to this clause. Third, it is suggested to delete the "financial resources" of the operator in Item 3 of Article 17, because such a provision may make the enterprise conceal its financial situation, and this is not a necessary condition for measuring monopoly ability.

????????(3) Concentration of business operators
????????Commissioner Li Lianning said that Chapter 4 deals with the substantive norms of concentration of business operators. Concentration of business operators is an important field of anti-monopoly. If a certain field is too concentrated, it is not conducive to competition. But at present, the expression of this chapter is basically a procedural norm. According to the truth, the procedural specification is based on the entity specification, to implement the entity specification concretely. In other words, we should first stipulate the entity norms for the concentration of operators, and then stipulate how to declare and review. According to the current regulations, such as Article 20, if the concentration of business operators meets the declaration standards set by the State Council, the business operators shall report to the anti-monopoly law enforcement agency in the State Council in advance, and the concentration of those who fail to report shall not be implemented. This is a procedural expression. According to the truth, the concentration of business operators should first be in accordance with the substantive provisions of the state, and under this standard, the business operators should implement the examination system of concentration of business operators, and then how to declare. In addition, from the standard point of view, only the issue of share is stipulated now, but the concentrated share and assets owned by operators vary greatly in different industries and fields. It is actually difficult to give consideration to different industries by using a unified share. Therefore, it is suggested that the State Council should distinguish between different industries and fields, so as to formulate the declaration standards for concentration of operators separately, instead of the unified standards stipulated in Article 21. The substantive norms, examination standards and conditions of concentration of business operators should be stipulated in different fields and industries. Of course, a principle requirement can be made, and the authorization should be specified by the State Council.

????????Member Guo Shuyan said that Article 21 mentioned that an operator may not report to the anti-monopoly law enforcement agency of the State Council in any of the following situations, and pointed out two situations. First, one operator owns more than 50% of the voting shares or assets of each other operator. Second, more than 50% of the voting shares of each operator who participated in the concentration are owned by the same operator who did not participate in the concentration. I don’t understand why this concentration does not need to be reported to the anti-monopoly agency in the State Council. However, it has been clearly pointed out in the article 19 on what is the concentration of operators that operators obtain the control rights of other operators by acquiring equity or assets. Since the situation pointed out in Article 21 is "concentration" as defined in Article 19, why not declare it to the State Council? If Article 21 is established, will all enterprises take the way of obtaining controlling rights when they are engaged in "concentration" in the future, so there is no need to declare to the State Council. Article 21 seems to open a back door for "concentration". Therefore, recommendation 21 needs to be considered again.

????????Member Wang Songda asked whether the third item of Article 26 "the influence of concentration of operators on market entry and technological progress" and the first item of Article 15 "for improving technology and researching and developing new products", such as these places, could the technological progress be fully described? Natural monopoly is not uncommon in daily life, and we have many experiences and feelings. For example, the media often disclose that some telecom industries are constantly juggling, such as packages, but there are not many benefits for consumers. This kind of magic trick of natural monopoly can’t reduce the cost and improve the economic benefit. When summarizing the achievements of Hong Kong in the past 10 years after its return to China, the news media cited an example, saying that when Hong Kong’s telecommunications industry was controlled by British or American people, long-distance calls were made at 10 yuan per minute. Later, the monopoly was broken, and Hong Kong people controlled the telecommunications industry themselves, but now it is a few cents per minute. For example, in the Ministry of Railways, it is very difficult and technically complicated to continuously improve the speed over the years. Taking improving the speed of locomotives as a breakthrough, a series of technological progress is reflected. Natural monopoly enterprises should use scientific and technological progress to counter all kinds of barriers set by foreign countries.

????????Commissioner Uzitu said that this law should have stricter regulations on foreign capital entering the China market. Only article 29 of Chapter 4, on concentration of business operators, deals with foreign capital’s merger and acquisition of domestic enterprises. In recent years, foreign investment in various fields of China’s economy really needs attention. Relevant information shows that before 2004, foreign investment in China in the form of mergers and acquisitions only accounted for 5% of the investment. By 2004, the proportion had risen to 11%, and in 2005 it reached 20%. What was the figure in 2006? I haven’t seen the data yet. I think there may be more. The leading bosses and backbone enterprises in many domestic industries have been acquired and controlled by foreign-funded enterprises. For such a situation, it seems a little weak to rely on this one alone. How to deal with this situation abroad? For example, in the United States, a foreign investment committee composed of the Ministry of Finance, the the State Council, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Justice, the national security affairs department, and the Economic Advisory Committee has been set up, which is responsible for examining the merger and acquisition of American domestic enterprises by foreign investors. For example, CNOOC’s acquisition of Yunik Company in the United States was abandoned because of the intervention of Congress and the security review. A few years ago, we bought some US Treasury bonds. In recent years, the dollar has depreciated. Many people think that we are losing a lot now, but in this case, in the eyes of Americans themselves, there have been many comments on the impact of holding US Treasury bonds on US economic security. Another example is that our newly established foreign exchange company is going to buy the Blackstone Fund in the United States, which has caused discussion in the US Congress and relevant government departments.I believe that this behavior may affect the national security of the United States. Since China’s entry into WTO, our financial field has been opened in all directions recently, but it is almost impossible for our domestic finance, insurance and securities to enter the American market. It can be seen that as a free and open market economy country like the United States, they attach so much importance to this. In contrast, our country has not paid enough attention to this aspect. I hope it can be reflected in this law.??

????????Commissioner Chen Shineng said that the draft anti-monopoly law under discussion today involves my industry, and now there is a very serious problem, that is, industrial safety. I just want to give you an example, and I also want to ask you how to truly stop malicious mergers and acquisitions and protect our national industry in this anti-monopoly law. For example, batteries are used by everyone in daily life, including lithium batteries for mobile phones. After more than ten years’ development, the production of batteries in our country has reached more than 30 billion, compared with more than 40 billion in the world, and our export volume has reached 80% of the world trade volume, among which alkaline manganese batteries with relatively high technical content and high added value were monopolized by enterprises in the United States, Japan and other countries ten years ago. However, after ten years of our own efforts, we are now the world’s largest battery producer and exporter, so the United States and Japan felt threatened, and they took a series of measures, first of all, they took technical barriers to trade and the 337 investigation case of intellectual property protection, and made investigations in 2004 and 2005, but we responded positively and won. In anti-dumping, we also responded and won. Improve environmental protection indicators, and we have also kept up with them through our technical measures. In this case, the United States has adopted the practice of fundamentally changing the property rights of the backbone battery enterprises in China. It has bought the leading battery enterprises in China, Nanfu Battery Co., Ltd. in Fujian and the battery co., Ltd. jointly invested by China Bank and Hongkong Bank in Ningbo at a high price.They are the backbone enterprises in our battery industry, adopting high and new technology. Their alkaline manganese batteries are the first and second in our country and the top ten in the world. Nanfu brand and Shuanglu brand mercury-free alkaline manganese batteries are brand-name products in China, which have been recognized by AQSIQ. These two enterprises, whose predecessors were small and medium-sized enterprises, began to work hard in the 1990s. They gradually developed by introducing advanced foreign equipment and technology, and solved the initial funding problem. They respectively set up joint ventures with international finance and investment companies and Hong Kong companies. After long-term hard work and capital accumulation, by 2002, the total assets of these two companies had reached 880 million and 390 million respectively, and their sales revenue had reached 757 million, and their tax profits had also reached. Such a high profit rate is unmatched by foreign battery industry. But no one expected that these two companies, which are developing at a high speed, were both acquired by foreign battery companies from 2005 to 2006. Nanfu battery was acquired 72% equity by Duracell in the United States, the largest battery company in the world, and BOC was acquired 85% equity by GT Company in Singapore, and the main business rights of the company were given to foreign battery companies. There is also the third Leopard King, which is also 85% owned by American companies. In other words, the top three most profitable alkaline manganese battery enterprises in China have been acquired by foreign enterprises. Acquisition of property rights of China battery enterprises,It may be a very important strategy for international famous battery enterprises to monopolize the international high-end battery market. In recent ten years, American Duracell Group has poured a lot of financial and material resources into the China market. At that time, China’s battery industry itself was not mature, so their brands occupied a large share of us. By the middle and late 1990s, several domestic battery enterprises, such as Nanfu, which I mentioned just now, had introduced technology and equipment, digested and absorbed them, and gradually acquired their own intellectual property rights, with improved quality and grade. In the domestic market, it has been supported by AQSIQ and China Battery Association. We have blocked Duracell, Energizer and Hitachi in Japan, and their output, sales volume and profits in our country have dropped greatly. At this time, foreign enterprises have taken the above series of measures. Although we responded to the US 337 investigation case and the anti-dumping case, we all won, but in this case, due to the short-term behavior of the local governments where these domestic enterprises are located, these enterprises all have local government investment, and the local government originally invested tens of millions, but now it can get back hundreds of millions, so it also strongly advocates. I don’t know if there is any unfair trade here. Bank of China, for its own sake, as a financial institution, now has a relatively high profit, so take it back quickly, or maybe the relevant parties have done some work. In this kind of "mercenary" and "short-term behavior", the high-priced acquisition with foreign companies "hit it off". In order to successfully acquire, foreign companies,For a period of time, they can promise to play your brand, but the most important thing is to make use of your sales channels. First, China has a large market. In addition, China’s export volume is already very large, accounting for 70%-80% of the international market. Slowly, at the beginning, I signed a contract with you. One was to pay a high price, and the other was to promise that your brand still existed. Finally, he became the big boss, and he had the final say, and your brand gradually disappeared. Finally, it was his brand that was completely played. This is a malicious merger. Under such circumstances, China’s battery industry leader, the enterprise that was cultivated in the past ten years of reform and opening up, was slowly "eaten" and withdrew from the market. Therefore, what we have to think about is how to maintain the industrial safety of these industries in our country. Now this phenomenon not only occurs in the battery industry, but also in the household appliances industry, hardware industry, daily chemical industry, plastic industry and so on in my light industry. For example, in the home appliance industry, through the efforts of these ten years, our output and sales, including world trade volume, air conditioners and microwave ovens account for 70% of the world trade volume, refrigerators and freezers account for 50% of the world trade volume, washing machines account for more than 40% of the world trade volume, and small household appliances account for 80% to 90% of the world trade volume. Therefore, the foreign enterprises in the world corresponding to us must be jealous of us, so they will take various measures to us, including buying him at a high price, which is strategic. For example, in recent years, Dabao in Beijing, as a welfare enterprise for the disabled,The state has given preferential policies, and now, after it is developed, Procter & Gamble will also buy it, and it is said that it seems that we have talked about it. Supor rice cookers in the hardware industry are to be acquired by French companies. I mean, from a battery industry, we can see that the whole light industry in China and hundreds of famous brands are threatened, and so is Wahaha, a beverage company in Hangzhou. Of course, there are also some strategic problems of its own. These problems are worthy of our deep thinking. Therefore, in our anti-monopoly law, I want to ask you how to withstand it. Because we know very well that when we want to buy American oil companies, CNOOC has already talked about it, and finally American parliamentary legislation blocked us. Our legislation should give full consideration to the protection of China’s industrial safety, such as the self-discipline of trade associations. Article 20 of Chapter 4 stipulates that if the concentration of business operators meets the reporting standards stipulated by the State Council, the business operators should report to the anti-monopoly law enforcement agencies in the State Council in advance, and if they fail to report, they may not implement concentration. As a matter of fact, our trade association knew all those things afterwards, because the State Council didn’t authorize us, so they didn’t have to report to us. We didn’t know until afterwards, but it was too late. As far as the State Council is concerned, the declaration standards can only be set in principle, and each industry and product can be set quantitatively, which the State Council can’t do, not to mention the State Council, and the National Development and Reform Commission can’t be so detailed. Therefore, for specific industries, the State Council should authorize trade associations. If not,It can’t do it at all.

????????Dai Songling (deputy to the National People’s Congress) said that the merger between enterprises should be clearly controlled in the draft. In recent years, China’s economy has developed rapidly. Under the market economy, enterprises with fixed assets of about 5 billion have a natural tendency to expand their scale and market share. Moreover, in some areas, large enterprises buy, merge and control small and medium-sized enterprises in these areas by virtue of their scale and advanced technology, resulting in competitors with certain capabilities gradually withdrawing from the market and forming a monopolistic market structure. Therefore, the merger between enterprises should be clearly controlled in the draft. If the purchase, merger and holding between enterprises form a monopoly in a certain market, or even the price of the products of the enterprise has completely influenced the market price, the state must intervene.

National candidates say that Beijing candidates in the college entrance examination also have all kinds of unhappiness and grievances.

  Text | Economic Net Xiaoxi

  Let’s start with a joke to help everyone get into the play — —

  What are you going to do if you have eight years left in your life?

  We do "5-year college entrance examination 3-year simulation".

  The 2016 college entrance examination is coming soon. These days, candidates and parents in some southern and central provinces seem to be a little upset. In fact, students all over the country love and hate the college entrance examination, including Beijing students who are envied and hated by "local classmates".

  Who says Beijing’s admission score is low? It’s just that Tsinghua and Peking University have higher admission rates for Beijing students. But which place is not like this? Isn’t Fudan University recruiting many candidates from Shanghai? Aren’t there many candidates from Zhejiang University? Individual provinces in the western region have been taken care of in colleges and universities across the country!

  Moreover, many schools in Beijing attach more importance to quality education and all-round development. We not only have to study and take exams, but also cultivate all kinds of abilities. We are also under great pressure to attend all kinds of classes. It is also difficult for Beijing children to go to Tsinghua and Peking University. In order to send their children to a better school, many parents send their children to other provinces to study, and then come back to take the college entrance examination. The competition is also fierce.

  As a liberal arts student, I think there are few good liberal arts colleges in Beijing, only a few such as Peking University, National People’s Congress and Beijing Normal University, not as many as universities of science and engineering. Compared with science students, our liberal arts students have a narrow choice. Will people scold me if I say so? I’m just saying my feelings from a personal point of view. Moreover, language schools in Beijing are seriously unfair to male and female candidates. For example, in North Language and Foreign Languages, girls have to score much higher than boys to get into the exam.

  In the history of Jiangsu college entrance examination, there was once the only "3+ comprehensive" with a record degree of devil, that is, three examination papers in addition to the number of languages and one large examination paper in physics, chemistry, history, politics, geography and biology. It sounds like it’s a breakdown. You can’t neglect any of the nine courses. Unfortunately, I caught up with this session.

  My sister’s high school is a national key high school in Jiangsu Province. By the time we graduated from Grade Two, we had finished the course of Grade Three. So we are reviewing and improving the whole senior three; Make papers, correct papers, and comment on papers … … After finishing all kinds of official simulation papers, the teacher will set up the papers by himself, which is called "darkness".

  No comparison, no harm. Two foreign students from Beijing came to my freshman class, and asked their relatives to come to my school in Jiangsu to receive "devil training". Their grades are far from the bottom of our class! In the end, after they returned to Beijing to take the college entrance examination, they were admitted to two good books in Beijing.

  Sister didn’t suffer for nothing, and was admitted to a local 211 school in Jiangsu. There is a classmate from Beijing in the class. When asked about the score of the college entrance examination, he is more than 100 points worse than me (at that time, Beijing adopted "3+ small synthesis", and the total score was 750 points like Jiangsu paper). However, people are quite calm: if it weren’t for poor grades, who would go to college in other places?

  I have two biggest frustrations about the college entrance examination: first, the relevant policies have not taken care of populous provinces, and second, there are no particularly good universities in Henan.

  There are many people in Henan, and the competition for the college entrance examination is too fierce. When we fill in the volunteers, the school requires that every key university enrolled in Henan must be registered, but not two people at the same time. One is to avoid competition among students, the other is to ensure that every student with good grades can attend the key points, and the third is to ensure the enrollment rate of the school. I wanted to apply for Sichuan University, but one of my classmates also applied, so the head teacher did my ideological work and wanted me to apply for a key university in the west. I didn’t want to, so the class teacher joined my parents to do my work. They said: I am a fresh graduate, and my grades fluctuate greatly. That classmate’s grades are more stable than mine, so I guess I can’t pass the exam, and so on. I agreed. As a result, the results of the college entrance examination came out, and I scored higher than that classmate. I ignored my parents and class teacher for more than a month. The second unhappiness is that there are no particularly good universities in Henan. If there were, I wouldn’t have to travel all the way to the west to study, and the competition among Henan candidates would not be so fierce.

  I have two biggest frustrations about the college entrance examination: first, the competition in the province is fierce; Second, there are not many good universities in Fujian, and there are few choices.

  Because children in Fujian don’t like going out of the province for the college entrance examination, almost all the top students will rush to Xiamen University, so Xiamen University may not have such a high admission score, but it was squeezed by students in the province, which made it difficult for us to enter Xiamen University.

  There are too few good schools in Fujian. Generally, the best students who don’t like going out of the province go to Xiamen University, followed by Fuzhou University, and then the ordinary schools in the province. The choice is too small. Moreover, the famous schools in the north recruit very limited people here.

  Xiao Wu, an Anhui native, took the college entrance examination in 2007.

  My biggest dissatisfaction with the college entrance examination is that the essay topic "I don’t know what to say", and cheat people is not shallow.

  For many years in a row, the Chinese composition questions of the college entrance examination in Anhui Province have been "spit out" and have become popular on the Internet because they are "unintelligible" and "obscure". One year’s topic is "Looking at Mom in Spring", another year’s conception angle is "Beyond the Bend", another year’s material is "Planting lotus flowers neither deep nor shallow", and even more outrageous, one year’s proposition is "Please put the ladder sideways without using it" … … Although the angles are all optional, the materials and topics are uncommon! These essay topics, which are far away from students’ lives, lead to students’ inability to write and poor writing. It is really cheat people.

  Xiao Zhou, a native of Shandong, took the college entrance examination in 2004.

  I have two biggest frustrations about the college entrance examination: one is the high score, and the other is the invasion of privacy.

  The score line in Shandong Province is particularly high. In that year, we scored more than 600 points in liberal arts and science. If a science student wants to take the Tsinghua exam, he will score more than 700 points! Moreover, in order to catch cheating, every examination room is equipped with a high-definition camera, which has no dead angle in 360 degrees. I think it is a violation of privacy.

North America Watch Why can the government only sigh when gun violence is rampant in the United States?

  The proliferation of gun violence has become a cliche in the United States. According to the data of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were nearly 40,000 people who died at gunpoint in the United States in 2019, of which one-third died of murder and nearly two-thirds died of suicide. In addition, the proliferation of firearms will cause about 115,000 people to be disabled in the United States every year. In contrast, since the US military entered Afghanistan in 2001, the death toll of the US military there is 2,312.

  According to the report of American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), the annual economic loss caused by gun injuries in the United States is about $300 billion, and the GDP of the United States is nearly $21 trillion in 2020. That is to say, the annual economic loss caused by guns is equivalent to 1.3% to 1.5% of the GDP of the United States. Putting this proportion into the huge economic aggregate of the United States, the absolute value is still very amazing: it is equivalent to Americans destroying a Finnish economy every year because of shooting (Finland’s GDP will be 300 billion US dollars in 2020).

  It can be said that the severity of gun violence in the United States is unique among developed countries. Therefore, the issue of gun control has become a jargon in the debate of the American Congress. However, despite the fierce quarrels among lawmakers, they often start this endless debate whenever there is a large-scale shooting incident. However, in the past 50 years, there has been no real substantive decision on gun control and solving the problem of gun proliferation.

  So, what makes it so difficult for the United States to control guns?

  The reason why Americans have the right to hold guns is a bit roundabout.

  First of all, we must clarify a concept, that is, the argument that people are free to hold guns in the Second Amendment of the US Constitution, which is emphasized by many gun-holding organizations, looks more like an absurd historical "myth" today.

  In 1791, the US Congress passed the Second Amendment, saying that "a well-disciplined militia is necessary for the security of a free country; The people’s right to hold and carry weapons shall not be violated. " The reason for enacting this amendment is that holding guns by citizens will help prevent the expansion of the power of the federal government and prevent the government from imposing tyranny on the people.

  It is true that many armed militiamen joined the struggle against British "tyranny" when the North American colonies became independent, but these militiamen with no military organization and no logistical support could not resist the attack of the British regular army for a long time. Even many militiamen joined the war of independence with the mentality of firing a few shots and sneaking home to continue farming if they failed.

  The American War of Independence can be won, thanks to the French navy’s unprecedented defeat of the British Royal Navy, which has always been invincible in the 18th century. As a result, the British main force entrenched in Yorktown was cut off, and the commander-in-chief cornwallis was forced to surrender to the French army and the Continental Army led by Washington. The powerful "armed militia" is the "founding myth" of the United States, and it is the regular navy and army that really overturns the British.

  △ In the Chesapeake Bay naval battle, the French fleet successfully prevented the Royal Navy from rushing to help the British main force stationed in Yorktown, thus controlling the sea power in the theater, causing the British army to declare its surrender after running out of ammunition, thus ending the American War of Independence.

  Moreover, individuals with guns can never compete with the state machine, and the US federal government does not hesitate to use military power far beyond the firepower of the people’s guns to carry out armed repression. During the American Civil War, a large-scale anti-conscription riot broke out in new york, and the American government responded with artillery. Some even said that warships moored in new york also participated in the suppression of the rioters. Unlike the revolvers commonly used by rioters at that time, the heavy weapons of the army were not available to the people at all, and even if they were held, they could not afford to maintain them.

△ In 1863, there was a conscription riot in New York, and the army used artillery to suppress the participants in the riot. (Source: new york Times)

  In the 21st century, with the rapid progress of military science and technology, the firepower gap between the army and the people holding guns is even greater. Not only that, since the Bush era, the US military has also transferred surplus military equipment to local police through the so-called "Project 1033", and the US special forces have trained police officers, which has made the American police a veritable paramilitary organization. Under such circumstances, the American people also know that there is no good end to engaging in large-scale armed riots. Therefore, when the new york police made a move, the crowd dispersed.

  After this year’s farce of "Occupy Capitol Hill", no one has stood up with guns and opposed the US government’s nationwide night fall.

  The biggest beneficiary of people holding guns is the southern slave owners.

  In fact, I’m afraid that the reason why the Second Amendment to the US Constitution was passed that year was not that members of Congress really believed that people holding guns was conducive to resisting the government’s "tyranny".

  At that time, it was not long after the Shays Uprising (1786-1787) against the Massachusetts authorities, and the argument that people could not be trusted was still popular among the political elites in the United States at that time. In fact, the biggest beneficiary of allowing people to hold guns is the slave owners in the south.

  When the United States was founded, slave farming was the most obvious private industry that relied on guns. In order to prevent slaves from rioting and fleeing, unofficial "slave patrol" system appeared in southern States, which is also one of the origins of American police system. According to the logic of slave owners, these slave patrols are also "well-disciplined militia" mentioned in the Second Amendment to the Constitution. The existence of slavery also explains why the amendment emphasizes that "well-disciplined militia" is crucial to national security, because only whites could join the militia at that time. Emphasizing that "militia" owns guns, not individuals, can exclude blacks from the ranks of gun owners and realize the absolute superiority of whites over blacks in force. At that time, the slave uprising in the French colony of Haiti was in full swing, and black slaves slaughtered a large number of white slave owners, which seriously stimulated American slave owners.

  It can be said that it is an inevitable interest proposition of these people to emphasize the gun support right of white militia.

  The Paradox between Gun Control and Law

  At this point, we can see that the Second Amendment to the American Constitution is out of touch with the development of the times, and the basis of legislation at that time seems to be contrary to the basic moral standards of mankind today. This amendment is also the most fundamental legal reason for the inability to control guns in the United States today.

  However, as a basic law, the American Constitution can hardly be amended again. According to the current law, amending the Constitution requires at least two-thirds of the members of the Senate and the House of Representatives, respectively. However, in the Congress where politics and lobbying prevailed in Jin and Yuan Dynasties, lobbying organizations, represented by the National Rifle Association of the United States and reflecting the interests of various arms dealers, have long held key members firmly in their own hands. Not to mention amending the constitution, any attempt to tighten gun control at the state and federal levels will be strongly and effectively stopped by the Rifle Association.

△ The National Rifle Association (NRA) is one of the most important political lobbying groups in the United States. (Source: NRA official website)

  Not only Congress, but also the judiciary has played a very disgraceful role in the problem of gun proliferation in the United States.

  Compared with long-barreled firearms, pistols are more secretive, which is beneficial for gunmen to engage in large-scale shooting by surprise, and is also very suitable for suicide. Therefore, the city government of Washington, the capital of the United States, once attempted to completely ban the possession of pistols. However, in 2008, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the actions of the Washington municipal government were unconstitutional, and at the same time reinterpreted the Second Amendment, confirming that the right to own guns was not limited to militia, but included all individuals. Since the ruling of the Federal Supreme Court is final, it means that gun control efforts in many states have been wasted.

  The game of gun control and gun prohibition

  Of course, the justices of the Federal Supreme Court did not forget to show their "neutrality" in their judgments, claiming that guns and gun rights still need to be managed by someone. Nice words, but how to "manage" guns is a mess that puzzles American politicians.

  Due to the federal nature of the United States, the responsibility for formulating specific gun management policies is shared by the federal government and local governments. The federal government is responsible for issuing gun sales licenses and conducting background checks on gun buyers to confirm that they have no criminal record before they can legally hold guns. Local governments are responsible for formulating specific provisions for carrying guns in public places. It seems that governments at all levels have a clear division of labor, but there are many loopholes in actual operation.

  First of all, not everyone needs a federal license to sell guns. If they are selling guns in their own homes, online or at gun exhibitions, they do not need a federal license to sell guns for long-term profit. Because enterprises and individuals with sales licenses have the responsibility to inform the federal government of the identity of gun buyers so that they can conduct background checks, this means that when sellers without licenses sell guns, the federal government cannot investigate the identity of buyers. According to a study conducted by Harvard University in 2017, one-fifth of the gun transactions in the United States have not undergone background checks.

  Second, since gun ownership has become a "natural human right", only a few states require residents to apply for a gun license. Therefore, most of the time, the government passively screens the legitimate owners when the gun trade takes place. Except for those States that need to have a license to buy guns, local governments can’t actively screen gun owners or train gun owners in the code of conduct.

  Third, even if a comprehensive background check system is implemented nationwide, as many gun control groups now support, to plug the loopholes that guns can’t be investigated during gun exhibitions or online purchases, or to implement a nationwide gun purchase license system, it can’t solve a core problem, that is, because guns in the United States have been flooding for a long time, a large number of criminals illegally buy guns through the black market instead of through formal channels. This means that no matter how many gun control policies are formulated by the government, as long as the United States can’t implement a strict national ban on guns, people who want to own guns always have ways to deal with it. All gun control policies instead of banning guns are aimed at preventing gentlemen and not villains.

  Why is there no solution to the rampant gun violence?

  The problem of gun proliferation in the United States is a typical institutional case. The revision of the Constitution, the legislation of Congress, the interpretation of the law by the courts, the separation of powers between the central and local governments, lobbying and the intervention of interest organizations, almost all kinds of gloomy aspects in American politics are reflected in the gun issue. To solve the problem of gun violence in the United States, I’m afraid what we need is not to tinker with a certain law, but to thoroughly reform the system of representative federalism with three powers, which is full of ills. But this is completely impossible to achieve in the United States today, so we can only let it go.

  Now, Americans are completely numb to large-scale gun incidents. Since the beginning of this year, there have been nearly 250 large-scale shooting incidents that have caused more than three casualties. Gun control, like other stubborn diseases that cannot be solved because of the American system, has become a tool used by politicians to attack each other. The more quarrelling, the less means to solve it properly, and the gun violence will continue. After all, members of parliament live in wealthy areas with good public security, and the shooting of people is still far away from them. (Contributed by Jing Zhao)

Ministry of Transport: Ensure the cancellation of provincial toll stations of national expressways within two years.

  CCTV News:In this year’s government work report, the cancellation of provincial toll stations on national expressways was mentioned again. Today, the Ministry of Transport introduced the latest progress of this work.

  According to the statistics of the Ministry of Transport, there are still 229 toll stations on the main expressway in China. The cancellation of these toll stations involves the reform and innovation of the toll collection mode, as well as a large number of hardware engineering construction and software upgrading, the unification of relevant policies, and the placement of personnel, which is quite difficult.

  Wu Chungeng, spokesperson of the Ministry of Transport: Because expressways are built and operated by provinces, involving many business entities and some economic organizations, they all entered according to the law, and now they have to withdraw their stations, which involves fund settlement. In order to reflect fairness, the amount of coordination is very large. When it comes to personnel placement, there are about 30,000 people in more than 200 main line stations, which need to be properly placed within a certain period of time.

  Wu Chungeng revealed that the Ministry of Transport regards the cancellation of provincial toll stations on expressways as the top priority in 2019. A special work headquarters has been set up to clarify the implementation route and related technical solutions.

  At present, in view of each technical difficulty and risk point, the special work headquarters has formulated a plan and has specific countermeasures to achieve the goal of withdrawing the station.

  Wu Chungeng, spokesperson of the Ministry of Transport: We will mobilize all forces and do everything possible to ensure that the provincial toll stations of national expressways will be basically cancelled ahead of schedule within two years.
