  Writing the answer sheet of the times to reform and strengthen the army

  — — Summary of achievements in national defense and army building in the new era (II)

  ■ Liberation Army Daily reporter Qian Xiaohu Han Cheng

  In the desert Gobi, a certain unit of the army organizes multi-arms cross-domain maneuver and three-dimensional attack and defense; Over the East China Sea, the J -20 fighter formation thundered forward to carry out actual combat drills in the maritime direction; In the western Pacific, the carrier formation of Liaoning ships is breaking waves and tempering its offshore combat capability … … On the occasion of the people’s army’s 95th birthday, we can truly feel the profound changes brought by the reform and strengthening of the army through the turbulent pictures on the training ground of the three military exercises.

  A strong country must strengthen the army, and a strong army must reform. In November, 2015, when the snow began to fall in Beijing, the Central Military Commission’s reform work conference was held. President Xi issued a mobilization order to deepen the reform of national defense and the army: fully implement the strategy of strengthening the army through reform and unswervingly follow the road of strengthening the army with China characteristics. The unprecedented integrity and revolutionary changes in the strength, depth and breadth of our military history have thus begun.

  The spring tide is surging, and the torrent is brave. The organizational structure of our army has undergone a historic transformation, the road to elite soldiers with China characteristics has taken a historic step, and Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s military policy system is becoming more and more complete … … Today, the people’s army reborn from the fire is accelerating towards the goal of a world-class army by leaps and bounds.

  Strategic plan, "key trick" to win the future

  It is often a keen and powerful ideological lever that incites history.

  Standing at the new time coordinate point, looking back at the course of national defense and military reform again, and looking back at the holistic and revolutionary reconstruction and remodeling brought by this round of reform to the people’s army, we feel more deeply the profound historical vision, broad strategic considerations and strong mission responsibility of the military commander.

  Back to November 15th, 2012, just after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China closed, President Xi presided over the first executive meeting of the new Military Commission, which clearly pointed out that we should always forge ahead in the spirit of reform and innovation and strive to seize the initiative in military competition. More than 20 days later, President Xi came to the forefront of China’s reform and opening up — — Guangdong, inspected the Haikou ship at Shekou Port in Shenzhen and sailed with the ship for 4 hours.

  "President Xi has high hopes for reforming the strong army and building a strong navy." After a lapse of 10 years, when President Xi inspected the scene overlooking the sea, Shan Donghui, the captain of Haikou Ship, was still vivid; The earnest entrustment of the commander-in-chief always haunts the hearts of naval officers and soldiers. Now, the photo of President Xi and the sailors at the bow of the ship is displayed in the Military History Museum of the detachment where Haikou Ship is located, always encouraging officers and men to be strong in the chart.

  If you can’t make the sea, you must make it. The Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, more than 100 years ago, was a very painful "national mourning" in the history of modern China, and was called "the pain of gouging out one’s heart" by President Xi.

  Gaze at history and observe reality. In the second decade of 21st century, China has become the second largest economy in the world. However, the road from the big to the strong is doomed to be uneven.

  Looking around the world, the international pattern and system are undergoing profound adjustment, the global governance system is undergoing profound changes, and the international power balance is undergoing the most revolutionary changes in modern times. In this unprecedented great change, the new military revolution in the world, with the essence of fighting for the strategic initiative, has developed in depth, and major countries have adjusted their security strategies and military strategies one after another, and adjusted their military organizational forms. Its speed, scope, depth and influence are rare since the end of the Second World War.

  "Once the military backwardness is formed, the impact on national security will be fatal. I often read some historical materials of modern China, and it hurts me to see the tragic scene of being beaten behind! " President Xi warned the whole army that the new military revolution provided us with a golden opportunity. We must hit the water in the middle stream, and we can’t do it without changing it, and we can’t do it if we change it slowly. This is a big exam that we can’t avoid. The army must hand over a qualified answer to the party and the people and to history.

  A hundred battles struggle, and those who struggle first. Focusing on the multiple considerations of history and reality, international and domestic, war and peace, a blueprint for profound changes in the future of the people’s army has been brewing in the commander’s mind.

  "What I think most is whether our army can always uphold the absolute leadership of the party when the party and the people need it, whether it can pull up and win the battle, and whether commanders at all levels can lead troops to fight and direct the war." At an important meeting of the army, President Xi’s words struck a deaf ear. This is the questioning of the times and the questioning of the mission.

  Examination and questioning come from a deep insight into the risk challenges on the road ahead, and more from a clear understanding of our military’s capabilities and shortcomings — — "There is still a big gap between the modernization level of our army and the national security demand, and between our army and the world’s advanced military level", "Our army is not capable of fighting modern wars, and cadres at all levels are not capable of commanding modern wars", "Without reform, we can’t fight and win battles" … …

  National rejuvenation, read here; Strengthen the army and build the army, and linger at night. President Xi profoundly pointed out: We must deepen the reform of national defense and the army with greater wisdom and courage. This is the requirement of the times to realize the Chinese dream and the dream of strengthening the army, the only way to strengthen the army and the key measure to determine the future of the army.

  Seek the layout of the article, and make a sound. On March 15, 2014, a message from Xinhua News Agency attracted much attention at home and abroad: the supreme leader served as the leader of the Central Military Commission’s leading group for deepening national defense and army reform. It is the first time in the history of the party that the general secretary of the party personally serves as the leader of the leading group for deepening the reform of national defense and the army.

  This year marks the 120th anniversary of the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. After two Jiazi, China’s army embarked on a brand-new starting point of transformation and strength.

  "The easy and happy reform has been completed, all the delicious meat has been eaten, and the rest are hard bones." Facing the tough battle of national defense and army reform, President Xi encouraged all officers and men of the army: The more difficult it is, the more determined they must be and forge ahead, and they must never be hesitant and timid. As long as the whole army unites its will, dares to gnaw hard bones, and dares to wade in dangerous beaches, there will be no flaming mountain that can’t be crossed!

  At the critical moment, the strategic vision and political determination of the supreme commander are the decisive factors for the success of the reform. Focusing on promoting the reform of national defense and the army, President Xi presided over the collective study of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee twice, presided over the meeting of the leading group for the reform of the Military Commission three times, listened to the opinions and suggestions on the reform of large units many times in person, and personally organized and studied major issues of reform.

  Where are the institutional obstacles? What are the structural contradictions? How many policy issues are there? A number of reform special groups and expert advisory groups conducted extensive research, concentrated wisdom and repeatedly demonstrated — —

  More than 690 military units, more than 800 symposiums and demonstration meetings, more than 900 on-the-job and retired military leaders and experts, more than 2,000 team members of units above the military level and officers of divisions and brigades, and more than 3,400 opinions of officers and men of the army. The reform plan has been adjusted, revised and improved more than 150 times before and after … …

  The reform of national defense and the army concerns the overall situation and the whole country. From inside the military to outside the military, from the central government to the local government, all localities and departments have given strong support to deepening the investigation and demonstration of national defense and military reform and drawing up plans, thus forming a touching situation in which the party, government, army and people in Qi Xin work together to help reform. The National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Bureau of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense actively participated in the reform demonstration; The Central Organization Department, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security launched an in-depth study on the reform of management and security for retired military personnel & HELIP; …

  Fighting day and night, the Military Commission Reform Office launched a high-intensity, high-density and wide-ranging investigation. Opinions and suggestions from all sides, like a clear spring, inject fresh vitality into the scheme.

  In July 2015, President Xi presided over the third plenary meeting of the leading group for the reform of the Central Military Commission, and reviewed and approved in principle the Proposal on the Overall Plan for Deepening the Reform of National Defense and the Army. Subsequently, President Xi presided over the executive meeting of the Central Military Commission and the The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) meeting respectively to review and approve the Overall Plan. A set of reform designs that solve deep-seated contradictions, have major innovation breakthroughs, and reflect the characteristics of the people’s army have emerged.

  The hoof is fast and steady, and the "three major battles" are like a rainbow.

  Some moments are destined to be unforgettable, and some events are destined to go down in history.

  In the snowy midsummer, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the harsh alarm cuts through the tranquility of a brigade camp of the 76 th Army. Personnel gathering, unpacking equipment and loading formation … … A full-loaded pull drill kicked off. Looking at the new barracks which integrates the functions of command, training, living and security, Qiu Shaoyun’s company commander Dunzhi Bading really felt the strength of reform: five years ago, when the company moved thousands of miles from Hexi Corridor, it was still a desolate Gobi.

  Reform affects the hearts of every officer and soldier. "What is discipline, that is, the party will do whatever it wants." As a witness and witness, Dun Chi-Badin knows well the difficulty of relocation and the pain of reform. "But no matter how difficult and painful it is, we must be resolute and resolute."

  This is a historic moment: at 0: 00 on January 16, 2016, the seven military regions of Shenyang, Beijing, Lanzhou, Jinan, Nanjing, Guangzhou and Chengdu stopped exercising their command, and the five war zones in the east, south, west, north and central began to operate.

  In less than a month, 15 functional departments of the Central Military Commission were adjusted and formed, and the army leadership, rocket army and strategic support forces were established, which made a big step in the reform of the leadership and command system.

  Focusing on implementing the requirements of political army building under the new situation, promoting the organic unity of leading and commanding troops and deepening the reform of national defense and the army, the "first battle" starts with breaking the headquarters system, the military region system and the continental army system, and the first move is to build a leadership and command system of "the Central Military Commission is in charge of the general, the main battle of the theater and the main construction of the service".

  With one order, the headquarters system that has been running for decades has become history overnight. Among them, the number of institutions above the division level has been reduced by more than 200, and the number of personnel has been reduced by one third. Military Commission — War zone — The operational command system of the army and the Central Military Commission — Services — The leadership and management system of the army started to operate, and the long-standing institutional obstacles of the army were effectively solved.

  According to experts’ evaluation, the new pattern is of great significance for ensuring the party’s absolute leadership over the army, ensuring the efficient command of the army by the military commission, ensuring the scientific planning of the military commission and strengthening the management of army building.

  The first battle laid the foundation stone and took advantage of the situation. In December 2016, a conference on the reform of the military scale structure and strength of the Central Military Commission was held in Beijing. President Xi personally deployed and deepened the "second big battle" of national defense and army reform.

  The reform of scale structure and strength organization is not simply "addition and subtraction", but the optimization of structure and function leads to scale adjustment, focusing on cracking structural contradictions and realizing the revolutionary reshaping of our military strength system, which is "slimming" and "strengthening the body". Throughout the history of world military development, the scale structure and strength of the army cannot be fixed, but must change with the changes of war forms and combat methods, as well as with the changes of national strategic needs and military missions and tasks. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the army is, it will be out of date and even vulnerable.

  On April 18th, 2017, President Xi met with the heads of 84 corps units newly reorganized by the whole army. Ten days later, the regular press conference of the Ministry of National Defense revealed that the army’s 18 group army titles were revoked, and the 13 group army titles after adjustment and formation were announced at the same time. In that reform, Qiu Shaoyun’s former army, like many troops deployed for relocation, left the old camp that had been stationed for more than 40 years, came to a strange new station, and came to a place closer to the front line of military struggle, set up camp, and prepared for training and consolidation.

  The boldness and boldness of China’s military reform once again shocked the world: the number of military posts was reduced by 300,000, and the total number of active posts was reduced to 2 million; More than 1,000 units and institutions above the corps level have been reduced, the number of active posts in non-combat institutions has been reduced by nearly half, and the number of combat troops has increased rather than decreased, making it more substantial; The thinking pattern and historical inertia of the concept of mechanized warfare in the "Great Military Region" and "Continental Army" have been gradually changed. The mode of focusing on military groups and winning by quantity, the power structure and deployment of land-based and homeland-defensive forces have been changed, and the degree of integration of troops, the flexibility of operational grouping and application have been significantly improved.

  If the reform of the leadership and command system focuses on "strengthening the brain", the reform of scale structure and strength formation focuses on "strengthening the bones and muscles", and the reform of the military policy system focuses on "connecting the meridians". In mid-November 2018, the Central Military Commission’s policy system reform work conference was held in Beijing, which opened the prelude to deepening the "third big battle" of national defense and military reform.

  "The military policy system regulates military relations, standardizes military practice, and ensures military development. The reform of the military policy system is very important for realizing the party’s goal of strengthening the army in the new era, building the people’s army into a world-class army in an all-round way, and realizing ‘ Two hundred years ’ The Chinese dream of striving for the goal and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is of great significance. " President Xi’s important speech pointed out the direction for promoting reform.

  Four days after the meeting, the list of policies and systems issued just before was released. Twenty-seven policies and systems were included in the list, including strengthening the construction of party organizations, selecting and transferring cadres in war zones, improving the relevant policies of troops stationed in plateau islands, encouraging scientific and technological innovation, managing employment contracts for civilian personnel, and providing medical care for military personnel and their families.

  Promote the reform of military expenditure management, military salaries, housing and medical security, improve the management and security system and mechanism of retired military personnel, and build and improve the military honor system … … A series of policies and systems embodying the characteristics of military occupation have been stepped up, providing a solid institutional guarantee for improving the combat effectiveness and stimulating the vitality of the troops.

  Rebuild and rebuild, and the "big country array" has taken on a new look.

  Time is the best developer and the best touchstone.

  At the foot of Helan Mountain, the wind and thunder surge. The "Western Joint -2021" exercise, which attracted worldwide attention and was full of bright spots, was launched at the Army Qingtongxia Contract Tactical Training Base.

  In this exercise, China and Russia sent more than 10,000 troops, invested in multi-type aircraft, artillery and armored equipment, and conducted dozens of exercises such as joint air defense, joint obstacle breaking and joint three-dimensional capture. The armed forces of the two countries reached a new height in coordinated operations.

  The exercise was led by our army, instead of the independent grouping planning before, it was changed into the mixed grouping and joint planning of the two armies, and the bilingual command information system was used throughout, and the situation data was shared … …

  Seeing many new changes, the military experts on the spot can’t help feeling the performance of China’s army: the command level of this exercise is flatter, the operational grouping is more flexible, and the degree of integration and modularization is higher. It can be seen that a joint combat force system with elite combat forces as the main body is taking shape, which vividly shows the new achievements and new leaps of China’s military reform.

  Looking back at the Gobi smoke, focusing on the future battlefield. In just a few years, the People’s Army has accelerated its changes in the "new system time": the army’s mobile operations and three-dimensional offensive and defensive capabilities have been significantly enhanced, the navy has accelerated the transformation from offshore defense to offshore defense, the air force has accelerated the transformation to air and space integration, and both offensive and defensive capabilities have been enhanced. The Rocket Army has continuously strengthened its nuclear and conventional capabilities, and the strategic support forces have made every effort to promote the leap-forward development of key areas & HELIP; … With a new system, a new structure, a new pattern and a new look, a new combat force with a leaner scale, a more optimized structure and a more scientific organization is accelerating its rise.

  — — The command system is lean and efficient. Military Commission — War zone — The operational command system of the army started to operate, and the highest leadership and command of the army were concentrated in the CPC Central Committee and the Central Military Commission. Compared with the original four headquarters, the new Military Commission has a clearer path of command, construction, management and supervision, a more rational allocation of functions of decision-making, planning, implementation and evaluation, and a more focused strategic planning and macro management, and has truly become a staff organ, an executive organ and a service organ of the Military Commission. The focus of joint operational command is on the war zone, and the focus of army construction management is on the arms and services. The war zone specializes in fighting and is mainly engaged in joint operations, and the services take fighting to lead and seize construction as the battle. Implement the military in the main combat troops of the whole army — Brigade — The battalion system, the combat forces of various arms have been strengthened, the command level has been reduced, the operational command has become flatter and smoother, and the combat formation has become more comprehensive and flexible.

  — — The scale structure is constantly optimized. An exercise of crossing the sea and landing on the island started in the summer storm, and the Marines dressed in starry camouflage uniforms made a new appearance. In this round of reform, the Marine Corps, Air Force Airborne Forces, Rocket Forces, Strategic Support Forces, Joint Logistics Support Forces and many other new combat forces were newly adjusted and formed, and the active posts of the Navy and Rocket Forces were moderately increased. For the first time, the posts of the Army were reduced to less than 50% of the total posts of the whole army, and the proportion of services and arms and the proportion of officers and men were greatly improved; The establishment of organs at all levels has been reduced, the internal organs, leadership levels and personnel of organs at all levels have been reduced, and the staff of organs at or above the regimental level have been reduced by about a quarter; Elite combat forces such as aircraft carriers, large destroyers, strategic early warning aircraft, air assault and special operations have been strengthened, which has effectively promoted the transformation of the people’s army from quantitative scale to quality and efficiency.

  — — Joint war and joint training start a new game. The roar of air fighters, the array of ground missiles, and the galloping of warships at sea … … In early May, the Eastern Theater organized naval, air and naval forces to conduct normalized live-fire drills in a certain sea and airspace. After the reform and adjustment, the whole army’s concept of preparing for war and joint training has been further strengthened: the Central Military Commission has made great efforts to solve practical problems such as the theory and regulations of theater construction, and established a theater joint operation command system with "four beams and eight pillars"; Each theater plays the role of joint warfare and joint training hub, pulling joint training with realistic tasks, leading joint training with operational plans, inciting joint training with inspection and evaluation, and truly realizing joint training to lead and support joint training of arms and services; All services and arms closely meet the needs of joint combat capability in the theater, innovatively organize a series of service and arms campaign training, and jointly train with the service and arms capability training support system to continuously improve the contribution rate of winning the war.

  — — The policy system has become more perfect. On January 1, 2021, the "Provisional Regulations on the Administration of Officers in Active Service" and related supporting regulations were implemented; On March 31, 2022, the Provisional Regulations on Non-commissioned Officers, the Provisional Regulations on Conscripts and related supporting regulations were implemented … … Officers and men have called for reform, and a large number of laws and regulations that are in urgent need of reform and preparation for emergency have been formulated, promulgated or revised. Establish the professionalization system of military officers, optimize the treatment guarantee for military personnel, improve the policy system of military training, equipment development, logistics construction, military scientific research, national defense mobilization, etc. The system of military laws and regulations with China characteristics has been continuously improved, so that all factors conducive to the construction of combat effectiveness can compete with generate’s vitality, attract and gather outstanding talents to the maximum extent, and effectively stimulate the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of officers and men in reforming and strengthening the army.

  China’s military reform has attracted worldwide attention. At the School of International Defence of National Defense University, middle and senior officers from multinational armies once held a round-table discussion entitled "Military Reform in China". A foreign military student said with emotion, "The military reform in China involves a wide range of issues, and it is a huge and complicated project. The smooth progress of the reform fully reflects the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s strong leadership. "

  Standing at the new historical tide and looking back at the magnificent picture of reforming and strengthening the army, we firmly believe that under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the supreme leader as the core, the people’s army in the middle stream will always maintain its determination to reform and the courage to overcome difficulties and create "new and greater miracles that will impress the world"!

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.

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.

  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)

From the killing of bin Laden to the evacuation of Afghanistan, why is the US government still secretive about these mysteries?

  Ten years ago, on the evening of May 1, 2011, then US President Barack Obama officially announced that bin Laden had been killed by the US military. That night, the whole nation was boiling. American public opinion believes that since the moment a Boeing 767 plane hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York at 8: 46 am on September 11th, 2001, Americans have made a great progress in the war on terrorism that lasted for nearly 10 years.

  △ On the evening of May 1, 2011, then US President Barack Obama announced at the White House that Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden had been killed by the US military.

  Ten years have passed since bin Laden was killed, and various versions of the account of bin Laden’s death have appeared. From the non-fiction works of the New Yorker in paper media to Hunting Bin Laden in Hollywood, the official heroic narrative of the United States is all evident. However, with the advancement of investigation and textual research by all parties, it seems that the death of bin Laden is not as stated in the official discourse of the US government. The New York Times mentioned it together with the "Bay of Pigs Incident" and "Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction" and became a secret kept secret by the US government. ……

  July 7, 2005 London "July 7" bombing.

  Compared with the official narrative of the United States, Hollywood seems to prefer to link the death of bin Laden with international counter-terrorism. The London bombing on July 7, 2005 has also become a symbol of Al Qaeda’s infiltration into Europe and its terrorist activities in Europe.

  △ On July 7, 2005, a terrorist bomb attack occurred in London, England. In the morning, three subways and a bus in London were detonated by bombs carried by terrorists.

  On July 7, 2005, around 8:49 am, it was the morning rush hour in London. On this Tuesday morning, as usual, Jeff Porter was running an early train in London’s subway cab painted with iconic red and blue paint.

  "When I was drawing in at Edgewell Road Station," Jeff Porter said, "there was a train coming from the opposite direction. Just as the other side met my front, I saw a dazzling yellow light from the other end of the oncoming train."

  Then, the cab glass in front of Jeff broke, and dust and smoke scattered. Only then did Jeff realize that the train had exploded.

  △ On July 7, 2005, Al Qaeda carried out terrorist bomb attacks on several traffic lines in London.

  On the ground that day, there was an explosion against the bus at the same time. At almost the same time, four terrorists detonated bombs in four different bus facilities in London. According to the statistics of British police, the explosion killed 52 people and injured more than 700 people.

  △ Video of Al-Qaida Statement released by Al Jazeera in September 2005

  Two months after the terrorist attack in London on July 7, Al Jazeera broadcast a video, which confirmed the identities of the four terrorists — — A member of Al Qaeda. This video has been reviewed by the British police and intelligence agencies, and the identity and criminal process of the four terrorists have been clarified. In the tape, a terrorist declaration that mentioned "bin Laden" also touched the hearts of Americans on the other side of the Atlantic.

  In June 2009, the "old plan" of the new president in Washington

  Since the "9.11 terrorist attacks", then-US President George W. Bush has promoted anti-terrorism as his ruling focus. In addition to waging wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, intelligence organizations in the United States, Britain, Israel and other countries have further strengthened information sharing in international counter-terrorism intelligence because of "9.11".

  △ "The Record of Killing Bin Laden" published by The New Yorker on August 1, 2011 — — The Night in Abbottabad describes the details of the US military’s action to kill bin Laden, but many of the details are quite different from the arguments of all parties.

  Time came in June 2009, and four months after Obama took office as president, Leon Panetta, then director of the CIA, introduced to Obama the action plan to track down the leader of Al Qaeda since George W. Bush took office. According to The New Yorker’s Record of Killing Bin Laden — — A Night in Abbottabad, Leon Panetta knew at that time that the new president would definitely support his plan.

  △ In October 2008, US presidential candidates barack obama and John Romney held a presidential campaign debate at Belmont University in Nashville.

  Because one month before the 2008 US presidential election, when Obama, then a senator from Illinois, was debating with John McCain, also a presidential candidate, at Belmont University in Nashville, he answered the question about whether to hunt down bin Laden:

  "If we see bin Laden and the Pakistani government is unable or unwilling to kill him, then we must take action. We will kill bin Laden and smash ‘ Base ’ Organization. "

  Sure enough, as a supplement to Leon Panetta’s plan to search for bin Laden, Obama stepped up the use of drones for investigation.

  △ According to the statistics of the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, a third-party news investigation agency, from 2010 to 2020, the drone bombing launched by the United States has caused about 8,858 to 16,901 deaths, including about 910 to 220 civilians and about 283 to 454 children.

  In addition to inheriting the search for bin Laden by former President George W. Bush, the Guantanamo prison, which was used to hold terrorists during the Bush era, also played a key role in the future killing of bin Laden.

  Message from Guantanamo prison in August 2010

  Guantanamo prison, located in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Before 2002, the prison was basically used to accommodate Cuban and Haitian refugees who tried to sneak into the United States by sea. After the "September 11" incident in 2001, it was changed to a prison for accepting and interrogating terrorists. Restricted by the US Constitution, it is impossible to torture suspects in the United States.

  △ The movie "Hunting Bin Laden" restored the scene in which the CIA waterboarded the detainees.

  At Guantanamo Bay, because the US considers terrorists to be "illegal combatants", they do not enjoy any rights stipulated in the Geneva Convention, and American personnel can interrogate detainees in various ways. Since the opening of Guantanamo prison, various reports about torture by American intelligence personnel have been flowing out.

  △ CIA documents show that the United States has secret interrogation and detention centers in many countries around the world. A secret document of the CIA shows that there is a detention center code-named "Black Field".

  According to the documents from the CIA, in addition to Guantanamo prison, the United States has set up secret interrogation and detention centers in many countries and regions around the world for anti-terrorism operations. One of the secret interrogation bases, known as the "black field", first leaked news about bin Laden’s messenger in 2002.

  △ The Week quoted Jose Rodriguez, the chief operating officer of CIA, as saying that the messenger of bin Laden was a Kuwaiti.

  Abu Ahmed Kuwait — — Bin Laden’s Messenger — — The name that the CIA has been searching for has been confirmed in Guantanamo and the interrogation base set up by the CIA in Pakistan. Until August 2010, Leon Panetta, then director of the CIA, personally confirmed the whereabouts of the messenger in Peshawar, Pakistan.

  In May 2011, the cement compound in Abbottabad

  Through the information obtained in various interrogation bases before, the US intelligence department has strengthened the monitoring of the cell phone signal of bin Laden’s messenger. In August 2010, the CIA tracked a white SUV from Peshawar, Pakistan to Abbottabad, north of the capital Islamabad. In the detailed account, a white rhinoceros is painted on the spare tire cover hanging from the rear of the SUV.

  According to documents disclosed by the CIA, the SUV stopped outside a compound with a three-story building with a concrete fence and barbed wire about 5.5 meters high. There is no telephone or internet connection in this compound. The observation report of the CIA for several days shows that the residents of this compound don’t even throw garbage, but burn it centrally in the hospital. Through outdoor drying clothes, the CIA judged that there were three households in the building, but only two of them went in and out of the compound every day.

  At the end of October, 2010, then US President Barack Obama, based on the investigation report submitted by then CIA Director Leon Panetta, made him start to cooperate with all parties to design a military action plan for the compound. From the end of October 2010, the action plan was designed and officially implemented on May 1, 2011. In half a year, in order to ensure the smooth operation of killing bin Laden, the US military rebuilt a concrete wall compound for training in the forest of North Carolina. However, the action report disclosed by the United States shows that there was a huge flaw in the initial helicopter carrying the US airborne compound.

  At about 4: 00 am local time on May 1, 2011, the first Black Hawk helicopter that was supposed to hover in the compound and be delivered to the US military by ropes, just arrived at the compound, and the rotor at the tail scraped the concrete wall. In order to prevent the helicopter from rolling over, the pilot inserted the nose straight into the ground and landed in the compound in a near-crash way. After witnessing this situation, the pilot of another helicopter immediately gave up the plan of hovering on the roof and landed outside the courtyard wall.

  The accident that the Black Hawk helicopter fell to the ground disturbed the people around it, making the planned surprise attack meaningless. In the end, according to the report of the US military, this military operation successfully killed bin Laden. The body was wrapped in a white shroud, put into a bag and finally thrown into the sea.

  2015 US Media Survey: Another "Saving Private Lynch"

  As for the actions of the US military in the building, the US side has various versions. One of the most dramatic is that the US military said that bin Laden pushed his wife in front of him as a human shield. Another version is that after discovering bin Laden, the US military was resisted by bin Laden, and finally bin Laden was killed in the crossfire.

  △ The New York Times published an investigation and analysis report on the mystery of bin Laden’s death in October 2015, "Do we really know the death of bin Laden? 》

  However, after these news quickly spread around the world, the White House and the military corrected their statements one after another. On the evening of May 2, 2011, Jay Carney, the then White House spokesman, made an erratum to the details of the previous action of hunting bin Laden. First, he said that he did not carry weapons when he died, and then clarified that he did not use his wife as a human shield. The White House said that the difference from the details released the day before was due to "too much information and too hasty preparation".

  In the analysis and investigation conducted by The New York Times and the London Review of Books in 2015, there were discrepancies in the details of bin Laden’s death, from the very beginning when various sources obtained the information of the so-called "bin Laden Messenger" to the final burial of bin Laden’s body at sea.

  △ On May 21, 2015, the London Review of Books published a survey of bin Laden’s death by Seymour M. Hersh, a well-known investigative journalist, and pointed out that there were a lot of flaws in the explanation of relevant events by the US government.

  The United States carried out a massive military operation in the form of almost crashing a helicopter. The news disclosed by the media showed that bin Laden had a fierce resistance, but the official information was inconsistent, and it was difficult to confirm what actions bin Laden took in the final stage. It was obvious that there was a chance to capture bin Laden alive, but the US military directly killed him. The White House and the military’s contradictory statements on the details of the operation and the final handling of bin Laden’s body at sea ….. all these make the death of bin Laden foggy.

  △ According to The New York Times’s report on May 4th, 2011, Obama’s personal support rate rose from 46% last month to 57% after then US President Barack Obama announced the successful killing of bin Laden.

  But no matter which version, the American troops in the story are portrayed as a group of dead men who have gone and never returned. Such narrative methods and routines make people familiar with the history of American journalism inevitably not think of Lynch, the "heroine" deliberately created by the American government during the Iraq war.

  △ jessica lynch, an American female soldier, was ambushed and captured while serving in Iraq in March 2003. The American government deliberately portrayed Lynch’s story as a "fighting hero who refused to surrender". After investigation by many American media, it was found that all the stories about jessica lynch were untrue stories made up by the US military.

  The 20-year trauma of Afghanistan War in 2021

  On May 1, 2011, then US President Barack Obama announced that it has been 10 years since the United States successfully killed Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. According to a statistic from Brown University, as of mid-April this year, at least 47,245 Afghan civilians have been killed in the war since 2001. The war also killed 66,000 to 69,000 Afghan soldiers.

  △ Washington post reported on April 30, 2021 that former US President Barack Obama explained the significance of the hunt for bin Laden.

  Ten years later, in 2021, Obama, who had left the presidency, appeared again to explain the significance of the action of hunting bin Laden.

  Unlike 10 years ago, Obama no longer needs to face the test of a second term. In the face of his decision to continue the war in Afghanistan and kill bin Laden when he was in power ten years ago, Obama seems to remember those American soldiers who died in Afghanistan. However, the fact is that the war in Afghanistan since 2001 has caused 2,442 American soldiers to be killed, 20,666 injured and more than 3,800 American security contractors killed.

  When the United States continues to face downward economic pressure and domestic public opinion is increasingly opposed to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, both former President Trump and current President Biden threatened to let the US troops leave Afghanistan in the 2020 general election. It was not until April 29th this year that the White House confirmed that American troops had begun to leave Afghanistan, and the war in Afghanistan, which lasted from 2001 to the present, came to an end with American troops leaving Afghanistan.

  However, Obama seems to have forgotten that on January 22, 2009, the third day after he took over as president, Guantanamo prison, which had requested to be closed as soon as possible, still holds more than 40 people.

Central Meteorological Observatory: From September 26 to 28, the super typhoon "Olu" will seriously affect the South China Sea and the coastal areas of South China.

  According to the website of the Central Meteorological Observatory on September 25th, Typhoon Olu, the 16th this year, was formed in the east of the Philippines on the afternoon of September 23rd, and rapidly strengthened from a strong tropical storm to a super typhoon from the evening of the 24th to the night. At 17: 00 on the 25th, its center (super typhoon level) was located on the northwest Pacific Ocean about 135km north-east of Manila, Philippines, and the maximum wind force near the center was 16 (55m/s).

  It is estimated that Olu will move to the north-north direction at a speed of about 25 kilometers per hour. It will land on the eastern coast of Luzon Island in the Philippines this evening (48-55 meters/second, with a magnitude of 15-16, strong typhoon or super typhoon), and it will pass through Luzon Island at night, with a weakened intensity. It will enter the central and eastern South China Sea from the morning of 26th, then move to the west, and gradually approach the eastern coast of Vietnam. The Central Meteorological Observatory issued a typhoon blue warning on the morning of September 25th.

  Gale forecast: Affected by cold air and Olu, there will be 6-8 gale in the western coast of Taiwan Province Island, Fujian coast, Guangdong coast, Hainan island coast, Taiwan Province Strait, bashi channel, most of the South China Sea, Beibu Gulf, Qiongzhou Strait and Sansha Islands from the night of 25th to 14: 00 on 28th, with gusts of 9-10, among which the winds in the central South China Sea, Xisha Islands and the waters near zhongsha islands.

  Rainfall forecast: From 26th to 28th, there will be heavy rain in Hainan Island and Sansha Islands, and local heavy rain; The accumulated precipitation in the above areas can reach 80 ~ 120 mm, and the local area is more than 200 mm; The maximum hourly rainfall is 30 ~ 50 mm.

  Meteorological disaster risk forecast: From 26th to 28th, flash floods and geological disasters occurred in eastern Hainan Island, and some small and medium-sized rivers had meteorological risks close to the warning water level.

  Typhoon Olu has a fast moving speed and strong intensity. When it affects the South China Sea and South China coast, the strongest typhoon level or super typhoon level can be reached, and the wind is strong. Ships and personnel sailing in the central South China Sea, Xisha Islands and waters near zhongsha islands need to be evacuated in time, and ships near the South China coast need to return to Hong Kong in time to take shelter from the wind.

  In addition, there has been continuous rainfall in Hainan Island since September 20, especially in the eastern part of Hainan Island. Due to the superposition of typhoon heavy rainfall, the risk of mountain torrents, geological disasters and floods in small and medium-sized rivers is high, so it is necessary to strengthen prevention, and low-lying farmland should be dredged in advance to prevent waterlogging disasters.

Big explosion in Equatorial Guinea barracks: at least 20 people were killed and 600 injured.

  Screen shot

  At 16: 00 local time on the 7th (Beijing time at 23: 00 on the 7th), a big explosion occurred in Bata No.1 military camp, the largest city in Equatorial Guinea, a central African country. Up to now, at least 20 people have been killed and more than 600 others have been injured. Equatorial Guinean President Obiang said that the explosion was caused by "improper disposal of explosives".

  Arsenal explosion or caused by burning farmland

  The Associated Press reported on the 8th that the Ministry of National Defense of Equatorial Guinea issued a statement later on the 7th, saying that a series of explosions in the military camp near the Mondong Nkuantoma community were caused by the fire igniting high-explosive explosives, and relevant investigations are still in progress. Obiang said in a statement written in Spanish that the fire may have been caused by local residents burning farmland near the military camp.

  Images broadcast by Equatorial Guinea’s national television show that after the explosion, people scattered and fled, and huge smoke emerged above the explosion site. Many people shouted: "Although we don’t know what happened, everything was destroyed." The Associated Press quoted local media reports that local people were screaming and crying in the streets full of debris and smoke, and the iron roofs of many houses had been uncovered by the exploding air billow and scattered in the rubble.

  Al Jazeera reported on the 7th that most houses in the area affected by the explosion were blown up to only one or two walls. Many people picked out the dead and wounded from the rubble, and some of the dead were wrapped in sheets and transported away. The local media also called on people to donate blood, saying that the hospital was "overcrowded".

  On the 7th, CNN)7 pointed out that the Ministry of Health of Equatorial Guinea also called on volunteers to go to hospitals in Bata area for support on Twitter. "Health workers and fire brigades are providing treatment for the injured and transferring the seriously injured to the hospital."

  A doctor named Florentino said in an interview with TVGE TV in Equatorial Guinea that the country is in a "crisis moment" and hospitals are overcrowded.

  Macuto, a local radio station, said on Twitter that residents of Bata had been evacuated four kilometers away from Fiona Fang, the scene of the explosion, because the smoke generated by the explosion might be harmful to human health.

  Equatorial Guinea Foreign Minister asks for assistance.

  After the explosion, Simeón Oyono Esono Angue, the foreign minister of Equatorial Guinea, met with ambassadors from many countries and asked for assistance. "It is important to ask our brother countries to help us in this sad situation, because we are not only facing a medical emergency (COVID-19 epidemic), but also a tragedy in Bata."

  Spanish Foreign Minister Gonzá lez wrote on Twitter that the development in Equatorial Guinea was "worrying" after the Bata explosion, and the Spanish Embassy in Malabo, the capital of Equatorial Guinea, asked western nationals to stay at home. Brochenin Olivier, the French ambassador to Equatorial Guinea, expressed condolences to "the disaster that just happened in Bata".

  According to Agence France-Presse, the son of President Obiang — — Teodoro Nguema Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, Vice President in charge of national defense and security affairs, accompanied by Israeli bodyguards, inspected the explosion site.

  According to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, Equatorial Guinea is located in central and western Africa, bordering the Atlantic Ocean in the west, Cameroon in the north and Gabon in the east and south. The coastline is 482 kilometers long and covers an area of 28,051 square kilometers (including 26,017 square kilometers in mainland China and 2,034 square kilometers in islands).

  Since 1845, Spain has established colonial rule in Equatorial Guinea. On October 12, 1968, Equatorial Guinea officially declared its independence and established the Republic of Equatorial Guinea. After independence, Equatorial Guinea’s economy was in long-term difficulties. After oil exploitation began in 1991, the economy turned around, with an average annual economic growth rate of 31.9% from 1997 to 2004. However, due to the drop in international crude oil prices in recent years, Equatorial Guinea’s economy has experienced continuous negative growth, foreign exchange reserves have been greatly reduced, and financial difficulties have arisen.

  By 2018, the total population of Equatorial Guinea reached 1.3 million. The official language is Spanish, French is the second official language and Portuguese is the third official language. The national languages are mainly Arabic and Bubi. 82% of the residents believe in Catholicism and 15% believe in Islam.

As for socializing, it is probably the most comprehensive.

At present, social interaction is almost rotten. Any industry will add a social element, and anyone may say that I am a social interaction. So do you really understand what social interaction is? Do you really understand the nature of social interaction? In this paper, I will try my best to use the whitest and most concise language to explain my shallow understanding of the social industry.

Good question, no chance to breathe.

Personal understanding, socializing, stripping away all other things, the most core essence, in fact, is just one sentence,Socialization is time..

Well, I think someone will definitely refute me, cursing this guy xx in my heart. Why do you say that socializing is time? Let’s release it at the next level. Socializing is actually a process of communication between two people, and this process is not to pay time. Don’t tell me you’re a Nami buster. Touch the antenna. Over.

As mentioned above, socialization is the process of communication between two people, and why should we spend this time to do it? Remember that human beings are relatively dark animals, and the so-called unprofitable can’t afford to get up early. Well, what human beings do is basically purposeful, and the answer to this purpose is actually quite simple.To get the same amount of value exchange.

What is value exchange? Take a chestnut as an example. I am a student and you are a teacher. The social behavior of the two of us is in class. I spend time in class and you spend time in teaching. My value is RMB (tuition), and your value is knowledge in my stomach. I exchange RMB for your knowledge. In the course of class, time is brushing away. Isn’t this social? Please raise your hand if anyone else doesn’t understand.

In general,Conventional value exchange includes the following: interest exchange, concept exchange, value sharing, food, loneliness, social factors, life needs, finding a sense of existence and so on.

In a word, socialization is actually a process of "trading" with each other, but this "trading" is not a concept with ordinary "commodity trading". More is equivalent exchange. If one party can’t make the other party feel that our value exchange is balanced and cost-effective, it will also break the social balance, resulting in social loss.

This time, you can understand why money is everything. Money can exchange anything for you, so you won’t feel unbalanced, and you can maintain a long-term social relationship.

This formula, which I learned from previous lectures, is almost as exquisite as the mass-energy equation.

A+B+T=R

To explain, A is one user here, B is actually the other user, T is the time, and R is the reward. Continue to release, you can get the following formula:

Personality (advantage)+interest (demand)+time commitment = return.

The A-side is everyone’s different personality, which will be his advantage. The advantage of personality is similar to the assets in the physical transaction process and is your bargaining chip. For example, I am handsome, I am beautiful, I am brilliant, I am humorous and so on.

B-side is people’s interests and needs, that is, the general social sponsors. For example, I want to see beautiful women and listen to stand-up crosstalk, which is my demand, and the advantage of a user at A-side is that it conforms to my aesthetics and beauty! Then cut the crap, let’s get it straight, and B will start hooking up with A, and naturally social relations will be formed between AB (there is nothing you can do if A ignores you).

The intermediate process of combining personality advantages and interest needs requires the investment of time, energy, money and other elements, that is, cost. Everything is based on social time. You have to spend time thinking about him and spending money. This is the social process. In short, this is the essence of social interaction.

After the process of socializing, there is a reward. This bonus return means that one party is cool and the other party is high. Maybe it’s a win-win situation, maybe it’s a single win, maybe one wins more and the other wins less. Judging from experience, it is possible to maintain a long-term social interaction when the two sides reach a static balance. Unilateral repression will generally not have a good result (the same is true for love).

On the whole, the normal and stable social behavior of human beings is produced through such a formula.

Are there any exceptions?

Yes, not much. For example, love at first sight, in fact, is that both ends have become one end, how to understand, I think (deserve to be single for 10 thousand years)!

Two perspectives that will remain unchanged for ten thousand years:Spiritual or material rewards.

The spiritual reward is more about satisfying some of our needs physically (with a wry smile), and at the same time, psychologically, it will bring you continuous satisfaction such as vanity, existence, curiosity or belonging, which is the main thing, and there will also be spiritual rewards such as satisfying knowledge and information exchange.

The material rewards are relatively simple, such as cars, houses, money, etc., as long as you can touch them in reality, you can do it.

Judging from the routine in previous years, material rewards are often more attractive to users, but at the same time, it is more difficult. Spiritual rewards also started a concentrated outbreak last year, which is represented by similar high-quality original articles, people from below, and so on.

Relationship chain, information and interaction.And social behavior, fundamentally speaking, is also composed of these three.

The production of information will promote the interaction between users, and the interaction between users will directly affect the establishment of the relationship between users; This will lead to new content.

In the social category, it refers to the nature of interaction between people. It lies in three aspects: the establishment and maintenance of the relationship chain between people.

The main purpose of relationship chain is often to obtain the potential future value of social interaction.

In the social category, it refers to the content information flow. It lies in three aspects: production and processing of content, presentation form and consumption. And the content itself has qualitative and quantitative attributes.

Paying attention to content-based socialization is often to obtain a certain content or consume a certain information or content at the moment.

In the social category, it refers to the way people interact with each other. According to the mechanism of interaction, it is divided into conditional interaction and content interaction. There are one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many interactions in the participation mode. And realize that interaction needs media.

Interaction as the main purpose can often relieve boredom, enhance self-worth and get rich emotional and psychological experience in return.

Socialization is time, and each product actually takes up your time, but some waste your time, and some save your time. So, Internet social products naturally came into being.

Looking at the whole social process and combing the core key points, we can see the following:Breaking point, breaking ice, relationship chain, community, quality control, stickiness, transformation, profit, reciprocating, nothing more than this.

As the name implies, it is the core point of your social platform to attract users. Remember that it is best to have one or three points.

The social products visible in the market must be very large in some way, which will lead to a large number of users pouring into your products, and this kind of demand amplification is often the rapid amplification of common needs in life, which will produce such an effect.

But it will also lead to some catastrophic problems (as mentioned below).

Imagine that a user was fooled by you and wanted to play this game. As a result, when he came in, he saw that there were n points on the platform. After looking for a long time, he didn’t find the point that attracted him, so why not lose it?

There are too many explosions in history, such as the free SMS of WeChat, the map socialization of Momo, the interest socialization of Same, the acquaintance socialization of Facebook, the teasing style of xiaokaxiu, the new mode of exploration, the burn after reading of Snapchat, etc., which are listed as much as possible after the article, so I won’t go into details here.

There is no problem in ten thousand years. If you initiate hook-up unilaterally forever, the response rate of the other party is extremely low. In some cases, this low is fatal, and many platforms are just Over.

In fact, there are countless factors involved here, such as social hooking skills, platform matching accuracy, mood of both parties, etc. The social scenes of each platform here are different, and the social explosion points are different, so it cannot be generalized.

The only thing the platform can do is to match the hardware conditions of both parties as accurately as possible, and the platform can do nothing about people.

After successfully breaking the ice, the two sides actually established a relationship chain to some extent, and the establishment, maintenance and development of the relationship chain is a social problem.

Establishment is the process of breaking the ice, and how to maintain it better is also an intuitive life and death on the other hand.If the success rate of the platform is very high every day, but all the platforms are transferred to other platforms (you know), this platform has actually become a tool for "purchasing goods" in the minds of users.It’s still a little scary, isn’t it? But it’s true. How to solve it depends on the community.

The development of the relationship chain is actually more related to the life time of the platform. The more intertwined and deeper the development, the longer the survival time of the platform, and the more secure it is as time goes on. With this solidity, it will be relatively easy to realize profits.

Another 10,000-year-old problem, what is the community? Personally,The community is actually a small post bar, which takes the points of interest as the core point to aggregate the users on the platform through the points of interest.It’s that simple? Yes, it’s as simple as that, so why is it a perpetual problem?

The quality and quality of the community almost determine the lifeline and trend of the whole platform. The relationship chain between individual users is life and death, and the community relationship platform between multiple users is the lifeline.

Although the community is important, it is useless to blindly ask for more. Look at the current WeChat and qq. How many communities are dead? If the community is alive, the platform will smell, and if the community is dead, the platform will be dead (this is also the reason why the circle of friends exists).

Where is the top community at present? I think it’s Baidu Post Bar. Some people say it’s not Douban, Tianya or something. Pay attention to my adjective, top class, instead of community quality.

At the beginning, Post Bar was a typical blue hyperlink, big frame, replying to the post and cursing the street, and then Post Bar declined more and more. I think the reason is that people’s time is more and more occupied by other emerging products, and the quality of Post Bar is low (some, at that time, unspecified), and it is not driven.

As time goes on again, Post Bar has changed its skin, invited several designers, and the style has become taller, but the model is still the same. The difference is that it has been integrated into many Internet thinking and closely combined with fan content. It has been pulled up from the bottom, and it has become the most active, comprehensive, largest and professional social platform in China. Slogan has also become a post bar to find an organization, and the organization is just a point of interest, just like before.

The importance of community is closely related to the value it brings. It can promote activity, stickiness, realization, screening content and production content, etc. Every high-quality community is actually a small independent country., have their own laws and regulations (bar rules), the boss (bar owners), the younger brother (management), ordinary people (users), scum (blacklisted users), spiritual food, beliefs, almost everything. Run the community well, to some extent, the whole platform, you can safely hand it over to them for the whole, round after round of regular user iteration, almost no dead end.

Of course, keep your head alive, don’t chew on a thing, think about Kaixin. I don’t know how to change and keep pace with the times, but I’m sorry I have to be abandoned by users. However, there will still be a special case, that is, our Baidu Post Bar. Baidu is a magical company. After winning the first export of Chinese Internet, almost all the first-hand resources will be diverted into its own products, so I don’t know whether this model will still be alive and well even if it is posted 100 years later (if Baidu is still there).

Quality control and disassembly means quality control, and there are several directions, such as platform manual audit, machine screening, sampling inspection, reporting, etc., but personally, from the perspective of platform,, the most time-saving and labor-saving and the best effect is to use the community, which is equivalent to hiring a lot of younger brothers who don’t spend money to keep an eye on you. Why not? And they are all professional, at least more professional than you, and their quality control should be better than you.

Increasing user stickiness is also related to many factors, such as user quality, content quality, profit point, word of mouth, number of users, etc.The easiest way to improve stickiness is the magical community. Cooperate with the operation means of the platform to further expand this effect.So you know how important the community is.

If you have crossed so many barriers before, congratulations, you have almost seen the sunshine of victory.Or through magical community means, the quality of platform users and content has been successfully improved, and the constantly generated new content and new users have become fresh blood. The lower level has independent users as the main support (of course, there are many side details, which will be described later), and the upper level has high-quality communities to help maintain and screen, and the users of the two levels will continue to be alternately transported (inactive users are kicked out), which has become a more successful social system.With this positive development, your market influence will gradually expand and the number of users will gradually increase. What you need to do is to firmly grasp the top community of the platform, and it is time to add some profit points appropriately.

This problem has multiple profit models according to different scenarios, purposes, platforms, etc.However, looking at the current common profit models, there are nothing more than traffic realization, value-added services, membership fees and commodity sales. The first two are almost the profit points of the current mainstream APP, not to mention.

Membership fee is more interesting, as if it was specially bred for social platforms. The premise is that you control the quality of platform users and the quality of content (poor). Only in this way can users join willingly and pay for it one after another, but this risk is also the biggest, and it is very likely that users will abandon it from now on, so consider it carefully.

E-commerce platforms are the most popular for commodity sales, but I think that through community or analyzing the attributes and preferences of independent users, we can make vertical commodity recommendations and earn CPS fees. If the algorithm is proper, maybe this can become the main income of the platform. However, if you use it with caution, it will annoy the user, and it is also possible to uninstall it in minutes.

After the profit is completed, it is actually a complete social platform process. You can return to the relationship chain to optimize and explore again, or you can continue to focus on the community, constantly reciprocating, constantly changing, and constantly making profits. Of course, the wishes are always beautiful, and the reality is always cruel.

  • Respect for human nature: high efficiency, excitement, interaction, concealment, etc.
  • Good products: product design+business model+promotion, etc.
  • Good team: strategy, operation, execution, etc.

These three points have been brought into full play, and I personally feel that there is no one after WeChat.

It’s light enough (efficient), it’s interesting to shake the drift bottle (exciting), the brush in the circle of friends is ok (interactive), the news can be ignored (hidden), and the second and third are not mentioned. It’s obvious to all that there is a boss in control.

The mobile Internet has brought social networks into a new stage. About gun artifacts, photo artifacts, interest groups, and various content sharing; Social applications are currently classified into different categories.According to the strength of the relationship, it can be divided into acquaintance socialization and stranger socialization, and it can be divided into various vertical social fields according to the field, and it can also be divided into pictures and videos according to the information bearing mode.And it also has a great relationship with social motivation, which is diverse and changing. Identity, background and different situations play different roles, and the motivation of social interaction is different. What we can grasp is the essential needs of people.

Facebook is a social graph based on "I know U", but in the later period, due to the small user scale (think about how many people you can know in reality), Facebook studied various models to bring together users with the same interests or excitement, so that such a large user scale was produced. In fact, this is also related to Facebook’s own observation of user retention, preventing users from losing too quickly, and the 521 principle are not discussed.And Facebook is simply the most awesome existence of Internet social interaction. At present, almost all social interactions are based on strangers turning to acquaintances, while only Facebook is based on acquaintances turning to strangers.Of course, there are also some in China, such as a game (ren) investment (ren) network.

Wechat, acquaintances have to mention WeChat, and WeChat is actually based on the early users led by qq. Tracing back to the source, qq was originally based on strangers, but it may be a bit far-fetched, so it should be classified as acquaintances, and it should not be humiliating.

At the beginning, WeChat focused on "free SMS", followed by the voice message function, which immediately improved the communication efficiency and enriched the communication scene. Then "people nearby" and "shake" appeared, which broke this closed field and began to communicate with strangers. Later, a circle of friends appeared, and people’s information began to settle down. Later, WeChat official account appeared, and WeChat official account was divided into subscription number and service number. At this time, WeChat began to attract enterprises, communities and larger media. Since then, WeChat has achieved explosive growth, and then laid out the red envelope function, with the intention of paying on WeChat, paving the way for commercialization, content subscription and offline.Every time I think of the whole process, I can’t help but feel goose bumps. With such a clear line, who dares to say that the success of WeChat is accidental?

Light interest+light socialization

Classify the content (pictures, videos) published by users with tags, and then push/guide the personalized content to users with interest tags as the index. Some applications will be completed in the form of user-defined labels, while others will be matched by background algorithms.

Provide users with all kinds of labels. This work may be completed when the user uses the application for the first time, or it may run through the whole software operation process.

Light interest+heavy socialization

Combining with LBS, we continue the fine traditions of Post Bar, Douban Group and QQ Group, and create multiple interest groups under independent application. Online dialogue plays a supporting role in organizing offline interest activities.

Pay attention to interest+socialize

Focus on a single interest keyword, and build a high-concentration interest social platform for users with specific needs around this theme.

I won’t give examples of products here. There are eggs at the end of the article and they are displayed there. If you want to see them, you can just look at them directly.

As for the relationship between users, due to the penetration of the Internet, in addition to establishing a relationship accident among users in various ways, we must start to develop a new relationship, which can be called "sub-relationship". Sub-relationships here refer to those who, for ordinary users, do not need to identify others, but only aim at obtaining a certain content or generating an interactive behavior. That is, I don’t need to know who you are, what your identity is and where you are; Just get the results I want.

Information production needs to be further emotional, intelligent and personalized. People’s emotional demands need to be captured and satisfied through more emotional design. And people’s rational demands need more intelligent design and experience to realize.

For the interaction between users, we need to borrow more new media. New intelligent hardware devices are fully utilized to realize remote multi-dimensional interaction of users or to simulate physical interaction. At the same time, the use of some biotechnology may have different effects.

A very classic and disastrous example, friends who are engaged in social direction should have heard it more or less.

As mentioned above, after the explosion, the problem that may be faced is the influx of a large number of users. Some people say that this is a good thing, but I don’t think so.

The gun artifact "Mo Mo", now that everyone mentions it, still thinks it is a gun artifact. In fact, "Mo Mo" had a very stable pyramid structure at first.

  • Taki: At the bottom of the pyramid are the so-called diaosi users, diaosi men and diaosi women;
  • Middle level: there are high-quality users in the middle, especially women (one high-quality female user can bring seven male users);
  • Spire: The top ones are some big V’s and Gao Fushuai’s.

The pyramid has been put up. At this time, the pyramid structure is quite stable, and its internal ecology is balanced. However, all the bottom diaosi users will continue to chat up and pursue the high-quality users in the middle, satisfying their vanity. High-quality users in the middle can screen out the top-level Gao Fushuai, which is equivalent to the role of blue chip stocks. Users at the top will find that there are really many girls with high value and good figure around. Then overnight, the reputation of the cannon artifact spread, which can make the nearby hundreds of meters become 5 meters below zero.

As a result, many diaosi users poured into this application. With hungry eyes, constantly say "about" to the middle quality users? About … ". After such a long time, this behavior changed from "pursuit" to "harassment", and the cost of screening for high-quality users became higher. For them, the value of this product was not so high, so they began to flee. At the same time, there are women who have slipped or special occupations, such as wine trays, rice trays and princesses in boxes. The value of socializing has changed. Gao Fushuai, at the top, realized that it was inefficient to meet high-quality women, and Gao Fushuai users began to lose, so the pyramid began to lose balance and collapse.

When the rules of social products can’t restrain its massive users, it will make its ecology out of balance.

Then the question is coming. If I were the product manager of Momo at that time, how would I solve it?

Momo is really having a hard time now, and the process of whitewashing is very painful and long, and it has also invested a lot of money, and the effect is still good.

Among the two unequal classes, the daily limit is limited. If the limit is exceeded, you can directly guide the payment. Please note that it is in the unequal classes, such as diaosi, which is of high quality. And diaosi chatting up diaosi is still unlimited.

This not only controls the trend of one-sided user interval, but also carries out appropriate liquidation test, and the order of the bottom users is also very large, so the risk is controlled within the controllable range to solve this problem.

Of course, the problems and risks are still there, and the test can be gradually confirmed and explored (it seems that I also voted for Momo’s resume at that time, but I didn’t have a phone call).

This should be a hot topic recently, but I think there is something wrong with the logic of this sentence.It’s not why Alipay wants to socialize, it should be "why Alipay has to socialize".

It seems similar, but it is not. The former is active and the latter is passive.

It is not difficult to see that Alipay has become the top APP in the current installed capacity of mobile phones.It is not how sticky it is, but that Alipay is just needed. Under the cover of such a huge volume of Taobao, Alipay is the only payment method, and its volume is already obvious.

Such a simple question can be seen by people like me. How can Ma Yun’s father not see it? Once users just use you as a tool, even if you just need it, there will be risks. Although this risk is not even a little bit at present, it is all about the Internet, and it is changing rapidly, especially the e-commerce. Today, Taobao is the only one. Who can prove that Taobao will not disappear after ten years, so it will disappear with Taobao (after a hundred years? ) and the decline of traffic (perhaps in the near future) lead to the direct problem of Alipay’s decline, and in order to prevent the worst result from happening, we have to move the big move to Alipay in an attempt to maintain users.

Then why not put Alipay’s social function into the current Taobao?

I think this question has to start from the scene. First of all, Taobao already has social activities, right, such as Wangxin and Ali Wangwang, but the scene is a communication tool for buyers and sellers. Although it is also social, the added value is not great. Taobao also launched the function of asking everyone last year, which is also a social interaction in the form of question and answer. This is not an instant social interaction, which is beyond the scope of this article. Looking at it in detail, Taobao has launched Taobao live broadcast, and live broadcast is also a social means. Taobao is also in the experimental stage, and it is unlikely to become Taobao’s social main force in the short term, and its position on the home page is relatively backward. Community, which was vigorously promoted last year, is still a shopping scene because it is all about goods, not people, and it is not an instant social interaction. The mode of community social interaction is also different from the traditional understanding. To sum up, there are only four reasonable social ways at the moment, and only Wangxin is the instant social and shopping scene that users understand.. The fatal problem is that this social scene is actually under the wings of business, and it is almost impossible for users who get from this scene to transfer to real life or to traditional friends. So it is not difficult to understand why Taobao has to socialize.

So why do you have to put it in Alipay? As I said before, theoretically, the installed capacity of Taobao and Alipay should be approximately 1:1, and the installed capacity is very large, so both sides are the same starting point.Wangxin in Taobao cuts strangers socializing, and the scene is shopping. The social interaction in Alipay cuts acquaintances socializing, and the scene is similar to WeChat.

That is to say, it is a passive prepayment. Assuming that in the foreseeable future, Taobao disappears or Ali transforms to do something else, Alipay can still exist in the user’s mobile phone, and it is also a good choice as a daily communication tool.

In fact, it’s okay. From the user’s point of view, it doesn’t matter which platform is available, easy to use and useful. However, the advantage of WeChat is huge, and Alipay has to come up with some new products.

At the beginning of the year, the gathering in Five Blessingg was really an anti-God activity, and I was deeply impressed.

E-commerce socialization and community, can it really be useful?

The answer is obvious and certainly useful, otherwise what else would he do?

At present, there are two markets that do best, but the scenes and means of these two companies are different. The first is Taobao, a community model, and the second is JD.COM, a shopping circle. There is nothing to say about the former. The traditional community model, which clusters users with goods, increases the stickiness and activity of APP users, and leads to purchase behavior by giving hands to points, is a more conservative and traditional practice, which is beyond reproach.

JD.COM, this is interesting, and there are many articles on the Internet, so I will briefly introduce them. The shopping circle is an entrance that JD.COM left on WeChat. After shopping, users can directly share the goods in the shopping circle from JD.COM Micro Store, and the shared goods can be seen not only by friends but also by other users.The point is that this other user, WeChat or JD.COM, has not given any details about how this other user was screened out.

Personally, I guess,According to users who have the same purchase behavior, JD.COM conjectures everyone’s preferences and essence through WeChat combined with general life scenes, and matches the connection through algorithms, which is the selected module.What’s interesting or scary about it?JD.COM connects shopping social scenes with life social scenes. He knows your life preferences or related labels and can recommend them to you according to your life thoughts. In this case, it is far more terrible than Taobao’s independent community in terms of human nature and success rate.I don’t know how far WeChat talks about data sharing. If the authority is very high, I have to say that JD.COM is a scheming boy.

If this is done well, it is not impossible for JD.COM to join hands with WeChat to surpass Taobao. Why do I make such wild remarks? No, I only speculate from the current market and human nature, or it may be nonsense.

Last year, Facebook acquired Altas, a veteran DMP.In addition to online data, there are also some offline data, including the transaction data of some users’ credit cards, which helps Facebook to build a high credibility of the number of users and provides online and offline complementarity.

About 97% of Facebook’s revenue is contributed by advertising. The horror is that the company’s growth rate is as high as 40%+(Q1 in 15 years), which is four times that of Google. If this continues, Google will be overtaken by Facebook’s advertisements, and the fundamental reasons for all this are different from the fundamental principles of advertising.

Google is passive, Facebook is active.

What is passive? When you search, it has nothing to do with yourself, but it has something to do with your search behavior, that is, there may be conflicts between the two. For example, if I search for toys, it is very likely that I just want to look at them and don’t want to buy them. If it is in CPS mode, there will be no income and low efficiency if there is no purchase behavior.Active display has a great relationship with you. Daily browsing and people’s preferences are recorded, and according to the advertisements displayed by these things, you can not be creepy.

So Facebook is already a good example, but he only advertised, and WeChat is similar to Facebook, but he hardly advertised, and turned to another profit model, joining hands with e-commerce, sharing data, recommending advertisements based on people, and attracting money.In fact, there is another problem, that is, the habit of users buying on WeChat has not been developed in a large number (compared with e-commerce platforms such as Taobao), so this is why it can’t be done.

JD.COM’s main APP has no action for the time being, only a simple discovery function, which is far from the related scenes described and the current products. What’s more interesting is that the shopping habits of users in JD.COM APP scenes have actually been developed, so it is not difficult to think about it.If JD.COM APP is a community, using the user data shared by WeChat, combined with JD.COM’s own purchase behavior, it will be more interesting to push and match accurately and directly hit your heart.(Taobao’s community is also completely based on your search behavior, and to some extent it is not equal to this ideal model).

The pit is coming, and the pit is coming. Simply talk about the pit you saw or encountered.

Represents the scene, marriage and social intercourse. Marriage and love are represented by companies such as Lily, jiayuan, Zhen ‘ai and Youyuan. Why can’t we say that the more we see, the better? First of all, if you are a man and want to chase a girl, do you want the whole world to see this girl? Certainly not. If you do, you may have two choices, one is to chase and the other is not to chase. From a mathematical point of view, the probability of both is the same. If 100,000 people see the girl you like, theoretically you will have 50,000 more competitors. I will go and think about it.

Secondly, from the data point of view, the users of this social platform for marriage and love are older, so I have to think of one thing, that is, I can’t let acquaintances see me on this platform. If others see it, it will be a shame. In fact, the two kinds of hearts are contradictory. He wants more people to hook up with him, which is bound to be more display, and he doesn’t want more display. This is one. Second, the average user wants to see the dynamics of the person he likes secretly (students in Weibo who have a secret crush can go to the side wall), and that person certainly doesn’t want to expose himself too much, so there are so many things, how to strike a balance is what you should do.

What is less refers to the function of the core highlights. Remember what it said about the explosion point,Functions must be few but refined, refined and beautiful.There is also a trade-off balance problem.

For example, looking at the face and chatting with the brand, this is a very light explosion point, which is supposed to be good, right? It backfired. Why? I used to order about a week in a row, about a hundred a day. According to the final statistics, there were about 20 pairs, about five or six replies, and one conversation with more than ten sentences. Did you turn to WeChat?You are a social platform, I am a hunter, and the prey is not allowed to be touched. What do I need you for?So it’s also a question of balance. It’s up to you how to choose.

Scope refers to the social scope. Recently, I saw a global platform for making friends (except China), which was made by Chinese people, and one problem that Chinese people don’t care about is a fatal problem abroad, that is, religious belief.

If you are a global platform, then these two problems are often the most easily overlooked. Remember, you should never joke about them, which is fatal.

What do you mean, profit points are all dead. Otherwise, profit, yes, no one is stopping it,But the profit model that individuals admire is the profit model to enhance the experience.For example, you can only use a static avatar, and you can use gif after paying (don’t be serious about the example I gave), which is called the profit point of improving the experience.

And some platforms put the profit point to the point of death. 51job, a recruitment platform, is also a social direction to some extent, right? And his family has nothing to die for,That’s my resume. It depends on who reads my resume and wants to open a vip. Ten thousand alpacas fly by in my heart.Did someone say anything wrong with this? Well, I have to ask you out for this. Die,Just as he stuck the basic functions that the website should provide to the point of paying, I submitted my resume to see who read my resume. Isn’t this the basic function that should be provided? Once you have blocked all the basic functions, it is not far away for users to run away.Imagine, if Baidu’s search, every time you search for 1 cent, open a free search for 10 yuan a month, you will die.

If Baidu adds a profit model, such as paying 10 yuan a month, the commercial promotion will not be displayed. I believe that there must be a group of paying users, which will not harm the interests of non-paying users and will not affect the basic functions. Users may be happy to give you money. Why not?(unemployed ing Baidu gives an offer)?

What’s more, I have knocked so many times before I know it, so it’s not easy to list them. I recommend an article, and interested friends can look at "18 Common Ways to Die in Social Apps".

All right, all right, it’s over. I really appreciate the friends who have been listening to my nonsense for so long. Some opinions in this article may be wrong due to personal ability limitations and insufficient knowledge. Please also point out a lot and thank you very much. Thank you in advance.

Because I had done social pan-direction for more than two years before, I was lucky enough to get an interview opportunity. However, the interview was a mess because I was hospitalized with a fever a few days ago and was not fully prepared, and I didn’t engage in social orientation in recent months. I admit that I am not willing to go home and decided to sort out all the social things I had pondered before, which led to the birth of this article.

6 dead and 30 wounded! The worst conflict in Lebanon in 13 years was related to the big bang.

  BEIJING, Oct. 15 (Xinhua)-The worst armed conflict in 13 years broke out in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, on the 14th. Demonstrators demanding the dismissal of the judge of the port bombing were shot, which led to fierce clashes, killing 6 people and injuring 30 others. Lebanese Prime Minister Mikati called on everyone to remain calm, and UN Secretary-General Guterres called for an immediate end to the violence and continued investigation into the devastating explosion in August 2020.

  6 dead and 30 injured

  The worst conflict in 13 years!

  On the 14th, a demonstration in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, turned into a serious conflict, causing dozens of deaths and injuries.

  According to media reports, under the organization of the radical organization Hezbollah and its allies, thousands of people demonstrated and protested, demanding the dismissal of the chief judge in charge of investigating the Beirut port explosion. But after the gunmen opened fire on the protesters, a fierce armed conflict broke out.

  The Lebanese Interior Minister said that six people were killed and 30 injured in the conflict. The Lebanese army says it has detained nine suspects who opened fire on protesters during the Beirut demonstration and is investigating.

  Hezbollah and its allies said in a statement on the 14th that their protesters were shot by snipers deployed on the roof. In the following hours, gunshots were heard on the streets of Beirut, and ambulances honked their horns to rescue the wounded. A security official said that four shells landed near a private school, causing panic.

  The weapons used in the exchange of fire include pistols, Kalashnikovs and rocket-propelled grenades, which seriously escalated the tension. This is the most serious armed conflict in Lebanon since 2008.

  Related to the big bang in the harbor.

  Multi-party urged to remain calm.

  The core of this conflict is the explosion of Beirut port on August 4, 2020, which killed at least 215 people, injured thousands and partially destroyed nearby communities. The explosion was one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history, which further plunged Lebanon, which had been hit by political differences and unprecedented economic and financial collapse, into trouble.

  So far, no one has been held accountable for this extraordinarily serious chemical explosion. Bertard, the judge in charge of investigating the port bombing, was strongly opposed by Hezbollah and its allies, who accused him of political bias.

  In a statement, Mikati, the newly appointed Lebanese Prime Minister, called for calm and urged people "not to be involved in civil strife".

  The State Council spokesman Price told reporters: "We join the Lebanese authorities in calling on everyone to calm down and let tensions cool down."

  In response to the violence in Lebanon, UN Secretary-General Guterres called for an immediate end to the violence and continued investigations into the devastating explosion in August 2020.

  Joanna Voronyi, the United Nations Special Coordinator for Lebanon, also issued a statement condemning the violence on 14th. She stressed the need for restraint, maintaining calm and stability, and ensuring the protection of civilians.

The implementation of this new regulation is related to the wallet security of hundreds of millions of users such as WeChat and Alipay.

  BEIJING, July 9 (Li Zhanghong) On the 9th, this new regulation of the central bank was officially implemented, involving the wallets of hundreds of millions of users of many payment institutions such as WeChat Pay and Alipay, making it safer for you to spend money in buy buy.

  That is to say, the payment institution will gradually increase the centralized deposit ratio of customers’ reserve funds every month from July 9, and realize 100% centralized deposit to the central bank by January 14, 2019.

  What is customer reserve?

  The money you have in the account of the payment institution, such as Alipay balance, WeChat change, prepaid card balance, etc., all belong to the customer reserve. They are not deposits, but prepaid value in essence.

  It should be pointed out that the funds in the accounts of wealth management products such as Yu ‘ebao are monetary funds, not customer reserves, and are subject to different supervision.

  According to the definition of the central bank, customer reserve is the monetary fund to be paid by the payment institution in advance from its customers.

  Specifically, when we buy goods or services on the e-commerce platform, we first transfer the money to the virtual account of the payment institution. After you get the confirmation of the goods, the payment institution will transfer the payment to the merchant, and when the payment is retained in the account of the payment institution, the deposited funds formed belong to the reserve fund.

  What is the scale of customer reserve?

  According to Analysys data, in the third quarter of 2017, the overall transaction scale of comprehensive payment services of non-financial payment institutions in China has reached 42 trillion yuan. This means that the customer’s reserve fund is not decimal.

  According to the relevant person in charge of the central bank, it took only three years for the stock balance of customer reserve funds of payment institutions to rise from 126.6 billion in 2013 to more than 460 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2016. According to the calculation of market institutions, the scale of customer reserve of payment institutions is likely to have exceeded one trillion.

  By the end of May 2018, the deposits of non-financial institutions in the balance sheet of the central bank’s monetary authorities were 500.923 billion yuan, a fourfold increase compared with January. If calculated according to the 50% deposit ratio implemented before July 9, the scale of customer reserve of payment institutions has exceeded one trillion.

  "Non-financial institution deposit" refers to the customer reserve deposit deposited by the payment institution with the People’s Bank of China.

  Without effective supervision, is this money safe?

  The ownership of the customer’s reserve fund belongs to the customer of the payment institution, but unlike the customer’s bank deposit, it is not protected by the Deposit Insurance Regulations, nor is it deposited in the bank in the name of the customer. Previously, it was deposited in the bank in the name of the payment institution, and the payment institution initiated the fund transfer instruction to the bank.

  In other words, the reserve fund originally belongs to the customer, but it is actually dominated and controlled by the payment institution.

  Before the centralized depository system was implemented, the deposit method of customers’ reserves of payment institutions was mainly to open accounts in several banks in their own names for decentralized deposit. According to the data of the central bank, on average, each payment institution opens 13 customer reserve accounts, and the largest number of customer reserve accounts is 70.

  Therefore, the debate and discussion on the safety of user’s reserve funds and whether there is any misappropriation has been going on.

  What are the specific risks of our money?

  First, there is a risk that the customer’s reserve fund will be misappropriated by the payment institution.

  The reporter found out that the phenomenon of payment institutions misappropriating customers’ reserve funds has occurred from time to time across the country. Shanghai Changbu Company, whose payment business license was cancelled by the central bank in 2016, maliciously misappropriated the reserve fund, resulting in a capital risk exposure of 780 million yuan, involving 51,400 cardholders, and the rights and interests of customers were seriously infringed. Since 2018, payment institutions in Hangzhou, Qingdao and other places have been punished for misappropriating customer reserve funds.

  Second, some payment institutions illegally occupy customers’ reserve funds for purchasing wealth management products or other high-risk investments.

  Zhao Xijun, deputy dean of the School of Finance and Finance of China Renmin University, said in an interview with Zhongxin.com that if the payment institution invests in projects with high risks, there may be risks and losses. Once there is liquidity problem during payment, it will affect the normal operation of the whole payment business.

  Third, payment institutions may provide channels for criminal activities such as money laundering.

  Payment institutions handle inter-bank capital settlement through reserve accounts opened in various commercial banks, operate beyond the scope, and exercise the inter-bank clearing function of the central bank or clearing organizations in disguise. What’s more, some payment institutions take this opportunity to provide channels for criminal activities such as money laundering, which also increases the hidden dangers of cross-system transmission of financial risks.

  Fourth, the decentralized storage of customer reserves is not conducive to the overall fund management of payment institutions, and there is liquidity risk.

  So, the central bank shot!

  That is to implement "centralized depository".

  Centralized deposit of customer reserve funds means that the payment institution deposits the customer reserve funds into the special deposit account of the designated institution according to a certain proportion.

  At the beginning of 2017, the central bank issued a document requiring the payment institution to deposit the customer’s reserve funds into the designated institution’s special deposit account according to a certain proportion, with the highest proportion of 20%. At the beginning of 2018, the central bank gradually increased the deposit ratio of reserve funds to 50%, and from February to April 2018, the centralized deposit ratio was increased by 10% every month.

  On June 29, the central bank issued a new notice, clarifying that from July 9, 2018, the proportion of centralized deposit of customer reserve funds of payment institutions will be gradually increased on a monthly basis, and 100% centralized deposit will be realized by January 14, 2019.

  The central bank also requested thatThe depository bank of reserve funds has been changed from a qualified commercial bank to a branch of the People’s Bank of China where the legal person is located (that is, the customer reserve funds of payment institutions will be directly supervised by the central bank, and the customer reserve funds accounts will no longer be scattered in various commercial banks).. At the same time, the deposit time of the reserve fund is also the second Monday of each month instead of the original quarterly deposit, and the deposit base is the daily average balance of the customer’s reserve fund in the previous month.

  Zhao Xijun believes that centralized depository eliminates the phenomenon that payment institutions can misappropriate customers’ reserve funds, makes the management of reserve funds more standardized and safe, reduces the risk of reserve fund management, and also reduces the risk of liquidity of payment institutions.

  Will it affect the shopping experience of users?

  Some users are worried that the centralized deposit of customers’ reserve funds by payment institutions will affect the shopping experience during the payment process. The relevant person in charge of Tencent Tenpay said that it will not have a direct impact on users.

  In fact, after the centralized deposit of customers’ reserve funds, the phenomenon of illegal misappropriation of reserve funds by payment institutions will be curbed, and it will be safer to spend money on third-party payment platforms such as Alipay and WeChat. Moreover, the balance of consumers in various prepaid cards will also be more effectively guaranteed.

  The relevant person in charge of Alipay and Tencent Tenpay told the reporter of Zhongxin.com that the central bank’s move is conducive to the healthy, stable and sustainable development of the industry.

  The latest report released by Ipsos shows that the number of mobile payment users in China is about 890 million. Among them, there are 820 million Tenpay users and 650 million Alipay users related to WeChat payment, and their user penetration rates are 85.4% and 68.7% respectively.

  In the past, payment institutions deposited customers’ reserves in commercial banks in the form of deposits and charged interest, which was called "lying down to make money". According to the relevant regulations, the customer’s reserve funds deposited by the payment institution will not be subject to interest. On the surface, the payment institution will lose part of its profit source, resulting in losses.

  In fact, many payment institutions earn interest income by expanding the scale of customers’ reserves, which deviates from the main business of providing payment services, causing disorder and confusion in the payment service market to a certain extent and destroying the market environment of fair competition.

  The Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Printing and Distributing the Implementation Plan for Special Remediation of Internet Financial Risks clearly puts forward that payment institutions should be prevented from taking "eating spreads" as the main profit model, the incentive mechanism for business development of payment institutions should be rationalized, and non-bank payment institutions should be guided to return to the purpose of providing small, fast and convenient micro-payment services.

  The relevant person in charge of the central bank said that the centralized deposit and management of customer reserves of payment institutions is conducive to restoring the business origin of payment institutions, protecting the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, maintaining financial stability and market order, and better promoting the sustained and healthy development of the payment service market.
