Extreme cold weather has reduced supply, and oil prices have reached a one-year high.

  First, the extremely cold weather has led to a decrease in supply, and oil prices have reached a one-year high.


  In February, the average oil price rose by more than 10% compared with January, and the Japanese crude oil contract 07 once broke through the integer mark of 40,000. During the Spring Festival, crude oil production in the United States and Russia dropped sharply due to extremely cold weather. At the same time, the multinational Coalition forces headed by Saudi Arabia claimed to intercept a drone launched by the Houthi armed team allied with Iran, which was full of explosives. Extreme cold weather caused supply disruption and geopolitical events, which caused oil prices to rise unilaterally. However, after the large-scale cold wave weather, the reduced output will gradually recover. At the same time, OPEC+ sources said that in view of the rebound in oil prices, OPEC+oil producers may relax restrictions on crude oil supply after April. Near the weekend, oil prices retreated some of the gains.



Extreme cold weather has reduced supply, and oil prices have reached a one-year high.

  Output: As of the week of February 12, the domestic crude oil output in the United States decreased by 200,000 barrels to 10.8 million barrels per day last week.


  Third, other influencing factors


  According to data released by Baker Hughes, an American oil service company, as of the week of February 19th, the total number of oil drilling wells decreased by one to 305, which was previously expected to increase to 309. The total number of natural gas drilling wells increased by 1 to 91 in the current week; The total number of wells drilled was the same as last week, with 397 wells.


  The coldest weather in the past 30 years has caused serious damage to the major oil-producing States in the United States. The oil production has plummeted by more than 2 million per day, and these States had almost no need to deal with the Arctic storm. Consulting firm Energy Aspects Ltd estimated that as of Monday, the refining capacity in the United States had decreased by 3.1 million barrels per day. According to people familiar with the matter, Total’s refinery in Port Arthur, Texas, shut down the coking unit, with a capacity of 225,500 barrels per day. Total is also preparing to shut down the crude oil distillation unit of the refinery, which decomposes crude oil into hydrocarbon raw materials for all production equipment of the refinery. Due to severe cold weather in Texas, the largest oil refinery in North America was closed. According to an email from Motiva Enterprises LLC, the company will stop the operation of its refinery in Port Arthur, Texas. It is reported that the crude oil production in the Permian basin was frozen due to severe cold weather, and the crude oil production in the United States fell by more than 40% or 4 million barrels per day. Anadarko basin also has a large reduction in production.


  According to people who know the production data, from February 1 to 15, the average daily output of crude oil and condensate oil in Russia was 1.38 million tons. This is equivalent to a daily output of 10.115 million barrels, which is about 44,000 barrels lower than the January level. Due to the extremely cold weather, some manufacturers cut off the flow of oil pipelines.


  According to the Wall Street Journal (blog, Weibo), Saudi Arabia will increase its oil production when the oil price picks up, and plans to increase production in the next few months, so as to reverse the big reduction in January and increase production by as much as 1 million barrels a day. India’s oil minister also urged OPEC+to relax production cuts on Wednesday. It should be noted that the official position of Saudi Arabia is more cautious. Before the news from foreign media came out, the Saudi oil minister expressed the hope that the oil market would not be complacent and it was too early to announce the victory over the virus. It will not send a signal of OPEC+oil production reduction in the future. I hope that oil traders will not try to predict the trend of OPEC+.


  The multinational Coalition forces headed by Saudi Arabia claimed to intercept a drone launched by the Houthi armed team allied with Iran, which was full of explosives. Prior to this, Houthi armed forces attacked an airport in the southern border area of Saudi Arabia.


  CEO of Gazprom, a Russian gas company: Global oil demand has not recovered, but we have seen a positive trend. It is difficult for oil prices to stay above $60/barrel. Oil demand may return to the pre-crisis level next year. It is more appropriate to keep the oil price between 45-60 USD/barrel.


  American officials said that the United States is willing to hold a dialogue with Iran at the six-nation meeting on the Iranian nuclear issue hosted by the European Union. For the first time in the United States, officials have loosened up.


  According to the announcement by the Texas Electric Power Reliability Committee (ERCOT) that the local energy emergency has been cancelled, it is said that the local power grid has returned to normal. Many oil miners, including Marathon Oil Company, are taking advantage of the power grid and generators to restore power supply to resume production. The Texas oil field in the United States is slowly starting to restart drilling work. Previously, due to the southward movement of polar cold air, there was a historic drilling stoppage in the area involved in the oil field.


  According to local media reports in Angola, Di Mantino Azevedo, Angola’s Minister of Mineral Resources and Petroleum, recently said in Luanda that Angola’s oil production only accounts for 20% of domestic daily consumption demand, while the rest of the oil consumption is imported from abroad. The minister said that Angola imported nearly 3 million tons of refined oil in 2019 and spent more than 1 billion US dollars. This import requires a lot of foreign exchange expenditure, which can be used for public investment and other expenditures in Angola. At present, in order to reverse this trend, the Angolan government has formulated a strategic plan for oil refining, which includes the construction of oil refineries in Cabinda, lobito and Soyo, and the modernization and optimization of Luanda oil refinery.


  According to Iranian state television, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Rogochiy said in a television interview on the 21st local time that borrell, the European Union’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, said that an informal meeting would be held to invite the Iranian nuclear deal participants and the United States. At present, Iran is considering and discussing the proposal with relevant parties, and will respond to it later. But at the same time, Rogochiy said that there is no need to discuss the return of the United States to the Iranian nuclear deal and fulfill its commitments. The only way is to lift the sanctions against Iraq, and some technical and implementation issues can be negotiated by borrell and others.


  Fourth, the forecast of the market outlook


  According to the latest news, the power grid in Texas has been restored and the oil industry is restarting production, which means that the fear of supply interruption caused by extremely cold weather will gradually disappear. The focus of the market will continue to shift to changes in the supply side. At present, the relationship between the United States and Iran is slowing down, and due to the rebound of oil prices, OPEC+ oil producers may relax restrictions on crude oil supply after April. Concerns about increased supply impose oil prices. Recently, oil prices have risen sharply, climbing to a one-year high. Oil prices are at risk of a short-term correction.

Gold Surprises Rare Decline Chinese Aunt Opens "buy buy Buy" Mode

The news that Xiamen aunt bought gold bars for one million yuan brought some warmth to the frozen gold market.

It is reported that as the price of gold fell to a low level in ten and a half months, many gold investors acted quickly. In the past few days, several "Xiamen aunts" have been buying gold. Among them, an "aunt" bought 3.75 kilograms of investment gold bars in a bank in Xiamen for a total price of 1 million yuan.

Since Trump won the US presidential election on November 8, the US dollar index has risen by 5%, while the international gold price hit a peak of more than $200 that day, and last week, it hit a low of $1,122.35 per ounce for more than 10 months.

Some market participants have analyzed that in terms of value investment, the current price of gold and silver is close to the cost price of mining, and there is not much room for further decline. In this context, China and Indian-dominated major gold sales markets are about to usher in a buying boom. Especially in China, near the end of the year, there are many festivals, and the golden aunts have begun to itch to try. Reflected in the price of gold, the current price of London gold is weak, indicating that "Chinese aunt" and "Indian uncle" have begun to enter the market.

Gold was shocked by a drop of $200.

Since Trump was unexpectedly elected president of the United States, the global gold price has started a crazy decline mode, and has retreated the increase in the first half of the year in one fell swoop, falling more than 200 dollars since the beginning of November. According to industry analysts, the main reasons for the decline in gold prices include that the US economic recovery is expected to strengthen, the Federal Reserve completed the interest rate hike in December and made positive remarks, and the physical demand in India is weak.

Looking back on the coming year of 2016, the performance of gold can be described as ups and downs: the first half of the year was hot. Since the Brexit in July, the price of gold reached a one-year high, while in the second half of the year, it went out of the opposite trend, with the price of gold falling endlessly and hitting new lows all the way.

Yang Yi, an analyst at Meichuang Huanyu, told china securities journal that the market agreed that the policies implemented by Trump after he took office would accelerate the recovery of the US economy, and then the Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time in the year, raising interest rates by 25 basis points to 0.5%-0.75% in December, raising the long-term federal funds interest rate to 3%, becoming the second interest rate increase after the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008. At the same time, the interest rate hike cycle is expected to strengthen, and the US dollar index hit a new high, trading around 103 points, hitting a new high in 2016. "Generally speaking, because the trend of gold and the dollar is in the opposite direction, while the US dollar index hit a new high, gold was suppressed by it, and the price continued to fall. The intraday market went out of a roller coaster-like market. So far, gold has almost retreated all the gains." She said.

Gong Wenjia, a researcher at Shiyuan Jinxing, believes that after Trump was elected president of the United States, the market expected the direction of the American economy, especially the illusion of its tax cuts and manufacturing return, which promoted the rise of risky assets.

In addition, India’s physical demand for gold has also declined this year. The high volatility of gold price and the Indian government’s crackdown on black money have weakened the demand for gold. In the first nine months of this year, the country’s total gold consumption was 442.3 tons, which was about 30% lower than the same period of the previous year.

Holiday demand is expected to start.

This year’s New Year is approaching, and it is the Christmas holiday in the west. The major shopping malls are full of festive atmosphere. However, the reporter found from the gold market such as Beijing Caibai that the number of uncles and aunts who came to buy gold did not increase significantly compared with the past.

An on-site staff member told china securities journal that most investors have made profits, and the short-term gold trend is subject to the fluctuation of the dollar at the bottom, so the market trading is very light. At present, the whole market is on the sidelines, and Chinese aunts are no exception. With regard to the trend of gold in 2017 and the upcoming consumer holiday in China, he predicted that the trend of the US dollar will "peak" in the future, and the overall fundamentals of gold are slowly improving. Under the influence of various favorable factors, the market will once again see the figure of Chinese aunts, and gold may close up to welcome the New Year.

Yang Yi, who has been engaged in gold market research for a long time, believes that the demand for gold in China market will increase as the Spring Festival approaches. At the same time, the gold price has continued to fall recently, and the RMB is also depreciating against the US dollar. These factors have caused Chinese aunts to start snapping up the mode one after another.

She said that on the one hand, the demand for gold by mainland residents represented by "Chinese aunts" is increasing periodically as the Spring Festival is approaching at the end of the year, and on the other hand, the scale of gold outflow from gold exchanges in the domestic financial market is reaching a record high; Chinese aunts are about to start the "buy buy Buy" mode. However, similar to the bargain-hunting at the end of 2015, this time the aunt entered the market to buy gold at a time when the Federal Reserve raised interest rates and the RMB exchange rate plummeted. In particular, the "boots" of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hike have already landed, and the expectation of interest rate hikes is gradually dissipating. As long as the gold price shows signs of rebounding, the Chinese aunt will act immediately.

Zhou Yupeng, a precious metal analyst at Netease, believes that in terms of value investment, the current price of gold and silver is approaching the cost price of mining, and there is little room for further decline. In this case, the main gold sales markets, mainly China and India, are about to usher in a buying boom. In China, near the end of the year, there are many festivals, and gold aunts in China have started to buy gold. Reflected in the price performance, there has been a short-selling phenomenon in London gold, indicating that China Golden Aunt and Indian Gold Uncle have started to enter the market.

The hunters should be careful.

Many analysts said that after Trump was elected president, the market’s confidence in the US economic recovery increased and the US dollar was supported. At the same time, the Federal Reserve completed the interest rate hike in December, and said it would increase the rate hike in 2017. In an environment where the dollar is strong, it is more likely that the price of gold will continue to fall.

"In the last week of this year, the risks faced by the gold market are still biased downwards. In addition, this week is Christmas Day and the end of the year is approaching. The trading of precious metals will be relatively light, and it will also face the selling pressure of clearing accounts at the end of the year. Therefore, hunters should be careful." Yang Yi said.

She believes that the trend of international gold prices is constantly declining due to the interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve and the US presidential election. US stocks and the US dollar are already high, facing the pressure of callback. In particular, the US dollar has hit a 14-year high, which is also the high level after the US election. It will face certain resistance if it continues to rise. At present, it is difficult for the US dollar index to reach a new high. Although the gold price trading is weak around $1,135 and there are signs of a slight rebound, the trend is still not optimistic. At present, the gold bull market still lacks fundamental support. Next year, basic fabrics will tighten, and gold production may decline. However, the currency problems of China and India’s major consumer countries may cause investors to buy gold to hedge and boost demand. It is still too early to bargain-hunting.

Gong Wenjia said that from a technical point of view, it has been fluctuating at 1120-1150 USD/oz for many days, and whether the bottoming can be successful needs further confirmation. Therefore, considering comprehensively, it is more likely that the price of gold will continue to fall under pressure.

Will it shine again in 2017

"There is a rule in the gold market, that is, whenever the US president changes people, it is not far from the low point of the gold market." According to market statistics, George W. Bush came to power in 2000, and in 1999 and 2001, it was the time when the price of gold hit a multi-year low of more than 250 US dollars per ounce and made a double bottom. In 2008, when Obama came to power, he was catching up with the financial crisis. The price of gold dropped by more than 30% from the high of $1,032 per ounce to $681 per ounce. Trump was elected president this time, after the gold price hit a five-year low of $1,042 per ounce at the end of 2015. But it seems likely that this is not the lowest point, and the gold market is likely to go out of the double bottom again. The reason is that the Federal Reserve just raised interest rates for the second time in 10 years, pushing the dollar higher, and plans to raise interest rates three times next year. The US dollar index rose from 98 to 103, a 14-year high. After Trump takes office, he will implement measures such as tax cuts and increased investment in infrastructure, which may promote the good expectations of the economy and make the gold market not optimistic.

However, Zhou Yupeng believes that the long-term devaluation of currencies is a trend due to the currency overshooting in various countries, and gold is bullish as a value-preserving variety for a long time. In addition, there are still many risk events that can be expected in 2017. The European election year is coming, populist forces are on the rise, and the voices of countries demanding to leave the European Union are rising. In 2017, the safe-haven demand for gold may be pushed up, thus prompting the price of gold to rise. Recently, terrorist attacks around the world have continued, which has also pushed up the safe-haven property of gold and pushed up the price of gold to some extent.

He said that from the perspective of long-term investment, the future bullishness of gold is the theme. Don’t be confused by the immediate setbacks. You can start with some gold by holding it in batches, so as to protect your asset value in the future inflation.

Can the strictest new law curb advertising chaos?

  Reading tips

  On April 24th, the 14th meeting of the 12th the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) adopted the revised draft of the Advertising Law. The new law clarified the specific situation of false advertisements, intensified the crackdown, and set clear norms for Internet advertisements. Can this law, which was promulgated and implemented for the first time in 20 years, control all kinds of advertising chaos and adapt to the rapid development of advertising platforms? The public is full of expectations.

  Relying on the economic prosperity, the advertising industry has developed strongly, affecting people’s choices in life, ranging from buying a house, buying a car and traveling abroad to clothes, shoes, socks and napkins.

  However, ubiquitous and pervasive advertisements provide convenience and also bring troubles. False advertisements, spam messages and all kinds of chaos make people realize the urgency and importance of regulating the advertising market.

  Irresistible illegal advertisements

  "It only takes one day, and the teeth are really white!" This is probably one of the most expensive advertising words in history-because of false propaganda, Guangzhou Procter & Gamble Co., Ltd., the advertising subject, was fined 6.03 million yuan by Shanghai Industrial and Commercial Bureau, which is the biggest fine for false and illegal advertisements in China at present.

  These eye-catching advertisements frequently appear on TV programs, outdoor advertisements and street flyers. Although the current advertising law has clearly stipulated that "advertisements shall not contain false contents and shall not deceive and mislead consumers", many businesses and media prefer to take risks for the sake of high profits.

  The chaos in the advertising circle is far more than a kind of false advertisement. Some TV stations publish advertisements for health care products in the name of health programs. Some websites pop up several small windows as soon as they are opened, covering the whole screen; Some advertising companies rely on spam messages and spam to "sow widely and reap sparingly"; Others stand on the main road and make small advertisements …

  Why are illegal advertisements repeatedly banned? This is related to the fact that the current advertising law is too principled and not binding. Zhang Mao, director of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, said that in recent years, with the rapid development of China’s advertising industry and the wide application of the Internet, the media and forms of advertising have changed greatly. Compared with this, the advertising law promulgated and implemented in 1995 still has some problems, such as the incomplete content of advertising general rules, unclear advertising activity norms, unclear standards for identifying false advertisements, and weak operability of legal responsibilities, which makes it difficult to effectively curb advertising violations.

  In addition, the low illegal cost is also an important reason for enterprises to violate the law frequently. Take "the most expensive advertising words in history" as an example. Although 6.03 million yuan is already the biggest ticket issued by the administrative department, the annual sales of only one brand under P&G’s name exceeds 6 billion yuan, and the "sky-high ticket" is really insignificant.

  "In the 20 years since the implementation of the advertising law, we have accumulated some practical experience and formulated some practical normative measures. It is now necessary to make a summary, raise the norms into laws, and make targeted norms for new situations and new problems. " Liu Shuangzhou, deputy dean of the School of Law of the Central University of Finance and Economics, said.

  Crack down on false advertisements in all directions

  It was submitted for deliberation for the first time in August 2014, submitted for deliberation for the second time in December, and passed for the third time in April 2015. In less than one year, the revision of the advertising law quickly responded to the call of all sectors of society to severely crack down on advertising chaos according to law, and condensed the public’s consensus on increasing advertising supervision.

  It is an urgent task for the new advertising law to curb and crack down on false advertisements. In this regard, the new law first clarifies the definition of false advertisements, and stipulates that advertisements will be regarded as false advertisements in five situations, such as goods or services do not exist, information such as product performance is inconsistent with the actual situation, fictitious proof materials are used, the effect of goods is fictitious, and consumers are deceived and misled by false content.

  At the same time, the new law also increases the legal responsibility for publishing false advertisements, and stipulates that the administrative department for industry and commerce has the right to impose a fine of 3-5 times the advertising cost on advertisers. If the advertising cost cannot be calculated or is obviously low, a fine of 200,000-1 million yuan can be imposed. In addition, the new law also stipulates that those who violate the law for three times in two years will be fined 5-10 times the advertising cost, or 1-2 million yuan, and their business licenses can be revoked. This is obviously stricter than the current advertising law, which stipulates that the advertiser shall bear civil liability for publishing false advertisements according to law.

  Should celebrities bear joint and several liability for endorsing false advertisements? There have been different debates in the society: some people think that stars only assume the role of "salesmen", do not understand the process of product production, and ask them to take responsibility for product quality, which is suspected of exceeding their authority; However, some people think that stars use the public’s trust to make them choose problematic goods and services, and producers, operators and spokespersons jointly commit infringement and should bear joint and several liability.

  In this regard, the new advertising law clarifies the celebrity endorsement from the standpoint of safeguarding consumers’ rights and interests, stipulating that advertising spokespersons shall not recommend or prove their unused goods or services, and advertising spokespersons of false advertisements shall not speak for advertisements again within three years.

  "False advertisements are very harmful to the society. The new advertising law clearly defines false advertisements, greatly strengthens legal responsibilities, enhances operability, and is conducive to further strengthening the governance of false advertisements." Yang Wu, deputy to the National People’s Congress and president of the All-China Patent Agents Association, said.

  Set rules for internet advertising

  "Everyone has a free advertising space." In April this year, an APP that made money by reading and sharing advertisers’ marketing articles was widely circulated among friends. "In 2014, the overall online advertising market in China exceeded 150 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 40%, of which mobile Internet advertising grew strongly." With the rapid development of Internet technology, the media advertising industry is accelerating the transformation and reform: the advertising revenue of TV media is basically flat, while the print media continues to decline, while the advertising of Internet and mobile Internet is growing at an average annual rate of over 30%.

  The current advertising law obviously did not foresee such a rapid development trend of internet advertising, and the word "Internet" could not even be found in the law. The lack of rule of law led to the rapid decline of Internet advertising from the golden age. The most obvious features are spam messages and spam. Selling cars at low prices, promoting sales in shopping malls, and issuing invoices, all kinds of junk messages and emails that have nothing to do with themselves but have to be read have seriously affected people’s normal lives. Statistics show that in 2014, the number of spam messages in China reached 45.4 billion, of which advertising promotion accounted for 65%.

  Obviously, the new advertising law cannot ignore this important change. There are special provisions in the new law that the provisions of this law shall apply to the use of the Internet for advertising activities. The use of the Internet to publish and send advertisements shall not affect the normal use of the network by users. At the same time, in response to spam and spam messages, the new law stipulates that no unit or individual may send advertisements by electronic information without consent. If an advertisement is sent by electronic message, the true identity and contact information of the sender must also be clearly stated, and the way to refuse to accept it should be provided. If telecom operators and Internet information service providers fail to stop advertisements knowing that they are illegal, the industrial and commercial departments will confiscate their illegal income, and if the circumstances are serious, they will stop related businesses according to law.

  "The new advertising law has solved some problems existing in the current advertising law, solved some advertising chaos that has been strongly reflected by the public, and is more perfect, sound and reasonable at the institutional level. At the same time, it has standardized law enforcement behavior and is conducive to promoting administration according to law." Zhao Xudong, deputy dean of the School of Civil and Commercial Economic Law of China University of Political Science and Law, expressed the hope that the new advertising law can better regulate advertising activities, more effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of the public and consumers, and promote the healthy development of the advertising industry. This is also the greatest expectation of the public for the new law. (Peng Bo)

Democracy is to solve the problems that people need to solve (People’s Forum)

  Six months, 319 thousand pieces. This is the number of people’s messages responded to the "Leadership Message Board" of People’s Daily in the first half of 2022. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, more than 3 million mass opinions and suggestions have been answered on the "Leadership Message Board". A message board has become a communication platform for listening to people’s voices, understanding people’s difficulties, and absorbing people’s suggestions, which has contributed to solving more and more people’s concerns. This vividly explains the value of Chinese-style democracy "all for the people" and strongly demonstrates the unique advantages of people’s democracy in the whole process.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Democracy is not an ornament, not for decoration, but for solving problems that people need to solve." The whole process of people’s democracy development in China has a complete system and procedure, as well as a complete participation in practice, which avoids the disadvantages of making promises all over the sky during the election and being ignored after the election. It can be said that the whole process of people’s democracy has achieved the unity of process democracy and achievement democracy, procedural democracy and substantive democracy, direct democracy and indirect democracy, people’s democracy and national will. It is a full-chain, all-round and full-coverage democracy and the most extensive, authentic and effective socialist democracy.

  Establishing a correct view of democracy and persisting, developing and innovating consistently is the first priority of developing democracy and the "master key" and "master switch" of realizing democracy. True democracy, good democracy, we must make the people the masters of the country. Democracy in China is people’s democracy, and people being masters of their own affairs is the essence and core of democracy in China. From the implementation of the people’s congress system to upholding and improving the multi-party cooperation and political consultation system led by the Communist Party of China (CPC); From consolidating and developing the broadest patriotic United front to implementing regional ethnic autonomy; From "small courtyard chamber" to "house forum" … … In China, all national systems are built around the people being the masters of the country, and the national governance system is built around the realization of the people being the masters of the country, forming a comprehensive, extensive and organically connected system of people being the masters of the country, and building diverse, smooth and orderly democratic channels. The people are the masters of the country, which is embodied concretely and realistically in the policies and measures of the party governing the country, in the work of the party and state organs in all aspects and at all levels, and in the work of realizing the people’s yearning for a better life. In a word, the whole process of people’s democracy in China is a democracy centered on people’s interests.

  Democracy begins with the full expression of the people’s will and is implemented in the effective realization of the people’s will. The will of the people can only be expressed, but not realized, and it is not a true democracy. The whole process of people’s democracy covers economy, politics, culture, society, ecological civilization and other aspects. It is related to national development events, social governance difficulties, and people’s daily chores. It has the continuity in time, the integrity in content, the synergy in operation, and the extensiveness and continuity in people’s participation, so that all aspects of national political life and social life reflect the people’s wishes and hear their voices. The people conduct extensive consultations on major issues of reform, development and stability and issues concerning their own interests through various ways and means, such as discussion, internet and opinion polls, before making decisions and during their implementation; The National People’s Congress "opens the door to legislation" and the government "opens the door to ask questions", and more and more people’s opinions are transformed into major decisions of the party and the government; Ordinary people speak freely through the congresses of villagers, residents and owners, and promote the management of public affairs … … In China, people’s expectations, hopes and demands, from national policies to social governance, to people’s food, clothing, housing and transportation, have been said in some places, listened to, implemented and given feedback.

  There is a rainbow cartoon on the wall of Gubei Citizen Center, Hongqiao Street, Changning District, Shanghai, which connects Hongqiao Street at one end and leads to the highest legislature at the other. As one of the first grass-roots legislative contact points established by the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) Law Committee, as of June this year, Hongqiao Street grass-roots legislative contact point has completed the consultation of 67 draft laws, covering more than 10,000 people, and submitted 1,363 legislative suggestions. This is a concrete manifestation of the strong vitality of democracy in China. The more socialism develops, the more democracy develops. Strive for a new journey, always adhere to the people-centered development thought, unswervingly promote people’s democracy throughout the process, and will surely achieve new development of democracy in the process of constantly promoting the all-round development of people and the common prosperity of all people, so that the tree of democracy will be deeply rooted and evergreen forever.

Comprehensively promote the green transformation of agricultural development.

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that promoting the green development of agriculture is a profound revolution in the concept of agricultural development. In the implementation of rural revitalization strategy, we must consistently adhere to green development, be conscious in thought, firm in attitude, clear in policy and persistent in action, which is the key to determine whether we can successfully embark on a road of rural revitalization in Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Deeply understand the revolutionary significance of promoting the green development of agriculture

Agricultural modernization is always the foundation of national modernization. Agricultural production is a special industry determined by both natural and economic laws. The green development of agriculture is based on respecting nature, aiming at coordinating economic, social and ecological benefits, relying on the use of various modern technologies, and actively engaging in the scientific and rational development and breeding process of sustainable development. Promoting the green development of agriculture is not only an economic change related to the adjustment of agricultural structure and production mode, but also a green revolution in behavior mode and consumption mode. We should deeply understand the revolutionary significance of promoting the green development of agriculture, adapt to the trend of industrial civilization to ecological civilization, promote the formation of a green development path of agriculture with China characteristics in the new era, and contribute China wisdom and China’s plan to the development of world agriculture.

It is necessary to deeply understand the seriousness of the problems facing the current agricultural development. In recent years, China’s agricultural modernization has made great achievements and paid a great price. Over-utilization of cultivated land and water resources, increased agricultural non-point source pollution, degradation of grassland and other ecosystems, agricultural development is facing two "tight curses" of resource conditions and ecological environment. It is urgent and urgent to change the concept of agricultural development and realize the green development of agriculture. Promoting the green development of agriculture is not only an important decision made by the central government to understand the profound changes in society, respect the laws of nature and conform to the people’s ardent expectations, but also the inherent needs of agriculture itself. By changing the mode of production, the excessive intensity of resource utilization will be reduced, the trend of increasing agricultural non-point source pollution will be slowed down, and agriculture will be promoted to the road of green development.

We should deeply understand the arduousness of promoting the green development of agriculture. At present, promoting the green development of agriculture has ushered in a great opportunity, but it also faces some deep-seated difficulties. At the conceptual level, some comrades have not really put the transformation of agricultural development mode on the important agenda for a long time in pursuit of the habitual thinking of output growth, thinking deeply, carefully planning and solidly promoting it. On the interest level, promoting the reform of agricultural development mode will inevitably profoundly adjust the interest relationship between different stakeholders, which will lead to some local and departmental business entities’ escape thoughts and fear of difficulties. At the working level, it will be an unprecedented grand undertaking to transform the existing system of technology, talents, policies and mechanisms for increasing production into a new system of quality and green, which requires determination, tenacity and innovation.

We should deeply understand the long-term nature of promoting the green development of agriculture. To promote the green development of agriculture, we must be prepared for a protracted war. It is necessary to scientifically judge the problem situation faced, organically combine long-term scientific planning with phased target planning, treat both the symptoms and root causes, slowly and steadily, and gradually advance in depth. Strive to sum up and popularize a number of models and technology integration in line with the green development of regional agriculture by 2020, establish and improve the working mechanism, institutional system and incentive and restraint mechanism of green development of agriculture, and initially form a green production mode and a green lifestyle of agriculture. After 10-15 years or even longer efforts, the concept of green development has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the institutional system has been improved, and the green production mode and lifestyle have been fully formed.

We should deeply understand the systematicness of promoting the green development of agriculture. Promoting the green development of agriculture is a systematic project, involving all fields of agriculture and even economic and social development. This is not the adjustment and repair of a single system, but the innovation and construction of various institutional mechanisms; It is not the independent promotion of the agricultural field, but the coordinated and systematic promotion of various industries and levels in agriculture. We must plan the overall situation, mobilize the enthusiasm of all parties, analyze the key points in detail and act in concert. It is necessary to give full play to the decisive role of the market in allocating resources and the role of the government, and encourage producers, operators and consumers to participate in the green development of agriculture.

Focus on the strategy of rural revitalization and vigorously promote the green development of agriculture

The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made a major decision to implement the rural revitalization strategy. The countryside is the main area of ecological environment, and ecology is the biggest development advantage of the countryside. Promoting the green development of agriculture is the proper meaning of high-quality development of agriculture and the objective need of rural revitalization. In 2017, the Central Office and the State Council issued the Opinions on Innovating System and Mechanism to Promote Agricultural Green Development, which made comprehensive and systematic arrangements for promoting agricultural green development at present and in the future. To implement the central government’s plan, we must focus on the revitalization of rural industries, effectively promote the changes in agricultural spatial layout, resource utilization mode and production management mode, and push rural industries onto a road of revitalization with China characteristics of spatial optimization, resource conservation, environmental friendliness and ecological stability.

Promote the change of development concept and lead agricultural production with green concept. We must resolutely implement the Opinions of the Central Office and the State Council, adhere to the development concept of green agriculture, and turn to green orientation from ideas to methods, from policy measures to work arrangements, from system design to scientific and technological research and development, from resource allocation to performance evaluation. Guided by the green concept and driven by reform and innovation, we will accelerate the formation of a joint effort and a good atmosphere to promote the green development of agriculture, and provide strong support for the construction of ecological civilization and beautiful China.

Promote the transformation of production methods and achieve a golden harvest in a green way. To promote the green development of agriculture, we should make overall plans to ensure supply, income and ecology. We should neither sacrifice ecology because of supply and income, nor let the supply of agricultural products and farmers’ income be affected because of ecology. It is necessary to change the past way of exchanging large quantities of water and fat drugs for high yield, increase the intensity of technology integration, demonstration and promotion, and personnel training, accelerate the popularization of a number of advanced and applicable green agricultural technologies in the field of agricultural production, promote the green production mode to take root, ensure the supply of grain and important agricultural products, and realize the sustainable development of agriculture.

Promote the transformation of industrial structure and use green industries to promote quality improvement and efficiency improvement. Guided by market demand, we should abandon the practice of simply pursuing output, give priority to increasing green and high-quality agricultural products, promote the transformation of industrial structure, realize the diversification, personalization, differentiation, quality and branding of products, and better meet the people’s consumption needs for safety, quality, nutrition and health. At the same time, it is necessary to develop various functions of agriculture, strengthen the construction of agricultural ecological infrastructure, restore the ecological landscape of agriculture and rural areas, enhance the ecological value, leisure value and cultural value of agriculture, promote the deep integration of agriculture with tourism, culture, health care and other industries, and promote agricultural efficiency, farmers’ income and rural greening.

Promote the reform of management system, guide new subjects to promote green development and become a common form of agriculture. At present, China’s agricultural production is still dominated by small-scale decentralized management, and the existence of a large number of small farmers is still our fundamental. The technology, capital and talents needed for the green development of agriculture are still relatively high for small farmers. We must promote the green transformation of the management system, develop various forms of moderate scale management, innovate the connection path, integrate the green development of agriculture into all aspects of agricultural production and management, and drive small farmers to enter the track of green development of agriculture.

Promote the reform of institutional system and promote green development with green system. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that only by implementing the strictest system and the strictest rule of law can we provide a reliable guarantee for the construction of ecological civilization. It is necessary to comprehensively build an institutional system for agricultural green development, strengthen policy support such as interest compensation, cultivated land protection compensation, ecological compensation and financial incentives in major grain producing areas, speed up the establishment and improvement of a standard system for green agriculture, improve the legal and regulatory system for green agriculture, strive to build an institutional environment for green development with clear standards, effective incentives and strong constraints, implement the green development responsibilities of governments and departments at all levels, and let producers and consumers take the initiative to put ecological protection in an important position to stimulate the enthusiasm of the whole society for developing green agriculture.

Highlight the key points, grasp the key points, and continuously push forward the green development of agriculture.

To promote the green development of agriculture, we should not only make overall consideration and overall planning, but also highlight key points and have a clear aim. We must adhere to the problem orientation, focus on the main battlefield, make practical moves, fight hard, and push the green development of agriculture deeper and deeper. In particular, it is necessary to summarize and refine a number of technical measures, production models and management methods that can be replicated, popularized and operated, and play a leading role in demonstration and promotion.

Improve ideological understanding. All localities and departments should fully understand the importance and urgency of promoting the green development of agriculture, take the initiative, act positively, plan carefully and push pragmatically. We must conscientiously implement the "Opinions" of the Central Office and the State Council, identify problems and difficulties in light of specific conditions, and innovate ways and means to ensure that all policies and measures are implemented.

Optimize the functional layout. Adhere to planning first, rationally distinguish agricultural space, urban space and ecological space, further optimize the regional distribution of agricultural productivity, standardize the spatial order of agricultural development, and promote the formation of an agricultural development pattern that matches the carrying capacity of resources and environment and is coordinated with production and life ecology. It is necessary to establish an important agricultural resource ledger system and find out the base of agricultural resources. Construction of digital agriculture management system in the sky and land, using the integrated observation technology of space remote sensing, aerial remote sensing and ground Internet of Things to realize the dynamic monitoring and precise management of resources and environment, and provide support for constantly and dynamically adjusting the main functions and spatial layout of agriculture.

Promote scientific and technological innovation. It is necessary to vigorously support green agriculture-oriented scientific research and development promotion, organize and implement relevant major scientific and technological projects and major projects, further improve the collaborative research mechanism of various innovative subjects, attract social capital and resources to participate in scientific and technological innovation in agricultural green development, obtain a number of breakthrough scientific research achievements as soon as possible in key links that restrict agricultural green development, integrate and assemble a number of technical models for green production, and increase demonstration and promotion efforts. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the construction of agricultural science and technology talents in the field of resource and environmental protection, and provide a solid talent guarantee for the green development of agriculture.

Improve the industrial chain. It is necessary to improve the processing and circulation system of green agricultural products, close agricultural production and market consumption, and promote farmers’ sustained income increase. It is necessary to vigorously strengthen the circulation and marketing of green agricultural products, promote the construction of the origin market that is compatible with the green development of agriculture, strengthen the construction of the information service function of the origin market, improve the circulation efficiency, reduce operating costs, and help solve the problems that agricultural products are difficult to sell, unable to sell and unable to sell at a higher price. We should vigorously develop green processing, optimize industrial layout, promote the coordinated development of primary processing, intensive processing and comprehensive utilization of by-products of agricultural products, and form a circular development model of "resources-processing-products-resources".

Protect agricultural resources and environment. In terms of resource protection, the focus is on protecting cultivated land and water resources. Vigorously develop water-saving agriculture; We will further promote the action of protecting and improving the quality of cultivated land, expand the area of remediation of cultivated land contaminated by heavy metals, and carry out pilot projects of fallow farmland rotation to ensure the quantity and quality of cultivated land. At the same time, we should do a good job in the implementation of the grassland ecological compensation policy, promote the prohibition of grazing and the balance between grass and livestock, and implement the total management of marine fishery resources and the "double control" system for fishing boats. In terms of environmental protection, it is necessary to strengthen input quality control and waste treatment, promote the reduction and efficiency of chemical fertilizers and pesticides through precise fertilization, organic fertilizer substitution, unified prevention and control, and green prevention and control, and promote the resource utilization of crop straw, livestock manure and agricultural film.(Deputy Secretary and Deputy Minister of the Party Group of the Ministry of Agriculture Yu Xinrong)

Sugar-free is not sugar-free. Is there a health hazard if you drink it for a long time?

  [Editor’s note]On June 29th, 2023, Reuters reported that two people familiar with the matter revealed that aspartame, one of the most common artificial sweeteners, will be officially listed as a "potentially carcinogenic to humans" by IARC, an international cancer research institution under the World Health Organization (WHO) in July.

  On March 15th, 2023, The Paper published a series of special topics on "Sugar-free in the world", including "Sugar-free in the world ③ Sugar-free is not sugar-free. Will there be health hazards if you drink it for a long time? ",the manuscript discusses the related health risks of sugar-free drinks, and the old article is reissued.

  "Sugar-free and healthier" seems to be becoming an accepted concept by more people, so sugar-free drinks with sugar substitutes are becoming more and more accessible, and more and more health-seeking consumers are willing to pay for them.

  The The Paper reporter noted that in recent years, the health risks of sugar-free drinks have repeatedly been on the hot search list, which has caused public discussion: "Why are sugar-free drinks more harmful than sugar-containing drinks?" "What are the hazards of drinking sugar-free drinks for a long time?"

  Why do sugar-free drinks with sugar substitutes become the "target" of health disputes? Are sugar-free drinks healthier or more unhealthy?

  From sugar to sugar-free, the nutritional concept of China residents has changed.

  Broadly speaking, sugar is a kind of carbohydrate, which exists not only in foods with sugar such as white sugar and brown sugar, but also in common foods such as steamed bread, rice, cakes and fruits. The so-called sugary drinks or sugar-free drinks generally depend on whether there is additional sugar added.

  As early as 1989, China published the Dietary Guidelines for China Residents for the first time, and revised them in 1997, 2007 and 2016. The latest published guideline in 2022 is the fifth edition. The constantly updated and changing guidelines are not only suggestions for healthy diet for the people, but also reflect the cognitive changes of various nutrients in nutrition circles and the public over the years.

  Source: China Nutrition Society official website

  Take adding sugar as an example. Although the 2007 edition mentioned "drink plenty of water every day and choose drinks reasonably", there was no requirement for sugar intake. According to the meeting record of the special conference of the Ministry of Health at the time of China Network, experts explained: "In terms of dietary structure, our sugar intake is very small, not as much as that in the West." However, in the 2016 edition and the 2022 edition, the guidelines both emphasize "sugar control and alcohol restriction", and propose to control the intake of added sugar, with the daily intake not exceeding 50g, preferably below 25g.

  "When I was in college, an old professor said in a public nutrition course that we China people eat very little sugar, so we don’t have to consider it." Gu Zhongyi, director of the Beijing Dietitians Association and master of public health in Tsinghua University, said in an interview with The Paper that the 1997 version of the dietary guidelines did not mention the content of "adding sugar". In 2007, the domestic guidelines mentioned the issue of "reasonable exercise and controlling obesity". Since then, the American dietary guidelines mentioned "adding sugar" in the dietary ingredients to be quit in 2010, and the World Health Organization has also issued guidelines on controlling the intake of "free sugar".

  The admiration for sugar-free drinks has not been sustained. In recent years, the health risks of sugar-free drinks have been frequently mentioned.

  Drinking sugar-free drinks for a long time may also have health hazards.

  It is not uncommon to find public research results about the health hazards of sugar-free drinks.

  On February 28th this year, a study published in the British journal Nature Medicine suggested that erythritol, a commonly used artificial sweetener, may be related to heart disease. Researchers at Cleveland Medical Center in the United States conducted a preliminary study among 1157 people who had undergone heart disease risk assessment and had 3-year outcome data. By analyzing the chemicals in the blood, the team observed that the compound levels of various artificial sweeteners (especially erythritol) were related to the increased risk of heart disease and stroke in the future during the three-year follow-up.

  The team also conducted another experiment and found that erythritol had an effect on the increased risk of thrombosis. After eight healthy volunteers ingested 30 grams of erythritol beverage, the researchers examined their plasma levels and found that the erythritol levels of all volunteers continued to increase, exceeding the threshold of increased blood coagulation risk in 2-3 days. The researchers believe that this discovery may indicate that the increase of erythritol level is related to the increased risk of thrombosis. However, they also pointed out that the incidence of vascular risk factors in the center of the array in this study is high, and it is still necessary to confirm whether similar results can be observed in the longer-term follow-up of obviously healthy subjects.

  A large study published in JACC)2020 also showed that artificial sweeteners may be related to the risk of cardiovascular disease. After a 10-year follow-up of more than 100,000 subjects, compared with those who don’t drink artificial sweeteners, the people who drink artificial sweeteners the most (the median is 176.7 ml per day) have a 32% higher risk of cardiovascular disease. This study also suggests that sugar substitutes are not a healthy substitute.

  In addition to increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, sugar replacement may also affect people’s blood sugar level. In August 2022, a research paper published in Cell magazine pointed out that some sugar substitutes will not only affect the microbial composition of human body, but also affect the molecules in peripheral blood circulation, and then affect the individual’s tolerance to glucose.

  Research papers in Cell magazine

  In December 2019, a paper published in Diabetes Care, a journal of the American Diabetes Association, analyzed the data of nearly 200,000 people who have been tracking for more than 20 years, and also pointed to the diabetes risk behind sugar substitutes. The results show that changing from sugary drinks to artificial sweeteners and zero-calorie/low-calorie sugar substitutes has not changed the risk of diabetes in these people. The best choice is to drink tea, coffee and milk without sweeteners directly.

  Research paper in Journal of American Heart Association

  How to understand the health risks of drinking sugar-free drinks for a long time?

  Earlier, Professor Mu Yiming, chief physician of the Department of Endocrinology, First Medical Center of the General Hospital of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, also said in an interview with the media: "Many studies have found that if sugar-free drinks are drunk for a long time, if sweeteners are added, such as sucralose, aspartame, xylitol, etc., these sweet sugar substitutes are not essentially different from sugary drinks in causing diabetes. On the contrary, these sugar-free and sweet drinks may be more harmful than drinking sweet and sugary drinks in causing diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. "

  For the mechanism of health risks of sugar-free drinks, Mu Yiming introduced in an interview with The Paper. At present, the academic circles are not very clear about the exact mechanism behind it. Only from the current research or literature, there are several generally accepted explanations. One of them is that although the sweetness of sugar-free drinks is not really added with sugar, but with synthetic or natural sweeteners, the taste of sweetness itself will stimulate the brain, make people more appetizing and eat more things, including other sweets, which will lead to weight over time. In addition, when a person starts to eat more sweets, it will also lead to poor insulin responsiveness to glucose for a long time, and finally lead to insulin resistance, which will be manifested as an increase in blood sugar.

  It is worth mentioning that, on the social platform, diabetic patients can judge the influence of a drink on blood sugar and health by measuring the blood sugar value at different times after drinking sugar-free drinks. In this regard, mother Yiming emphasized that sugar-free drinks have no energy or low energy, and drinking them once does not cause blood sugar to rise like sugar-containing drinks. At present, the emphasis on the potential risks of sugar-free drinks is mostly based on the premise of long-term heavy drinking. "Long-term is in years, and the current research is also based on years." Drinking once in a while does not mean that there is no risk for a long time.

  Gu Zhongyi expressed a similar view. He pointed out that whether sugar-free drinks are healthy or not depends mainly on their long-term effects, such as diabetes and other chronic diseases. A person’s health is affected by many factors. From the perspective of overall human health intervention, sugar-free drinks may be only a small aspect, and the impact is not particularly great. Whether a drink is healthier or less healthy depends on what kind of drink it is compared with, and it also involves many differences in dosage, crowd, attention to different aspects and so on.

  Can the public still drink sugar-free drinks facing controversy?

  "I haven’t eaten sweet food or drunk drinks for such a long time. What do you recommend me to drink?"

  As an expert in the field of endocrinology in China, Mother Yiming sees many diabetic patients every year, and many of them also ask whether they can drink sugar-free drinks. The answer given by mother Yiming is usually: you can taste it occasionally, but don’t drink it for a long time. You must be self-disciplined.

  Mother Yiming told reporters in The Paper that human beings are getting more and more kinds of food, and their understanding of health and diseases is becoming more and more comprehensive, and everyone’s understanding of sugar is becoming more and more full. "Do you think sugar is bad? The brain will faint after leaving sugar for a few seconds. "In fact, whether a food or nutrient is healthy or not is often divided into two, and the main problem behind it is the dose.

  "From a safety point of view, sugar-free drinks are fine, but it is best to drink white water and not drink any sweet drinks." Gu Zhongyi once gave such a suggestion in a popular science article on nutrition.

  Gu Zhongyi said that adding sugar-free drinks instead of sugar will not make people’s blood sugar rise immediately, nor will it stimulate insulin as claimed by some people, and even lower blood sugar. Compared with drinks with common added sugar, this kind of non-nutritive sweetener drinks are safe and can be drunk by diabetics, which is judged from the perspective of the lesser of two evils and can be used as a substitute for the transition to a healthy diet. However, it should not be ignored that for some people, drinking sugar-free drinks for a long time will also affect blood sugar levels.

  Gu Zhongyi believes that the scientific community will continue to study the health problems of sugar-free drinks. For the public, in the face of constantly updated research results, it is not necessary to be too nervous, just follow the mainstream views and the latest guidelines and listen to the conclusions. Of course, in life, you still need to learn more about nutrition and choose a diet that suits you.

Simple and atmospheric modeling iCAR 03T is the choice of independent cool trend for real cars.
