Recently, the Anti-smuggling Bureau of Guangzhou Customs, with the assistance of the Anti-smuggling Bureaus of Huangpu, Jiangmen, Kunming and Nanning, launched the "Fighting 28" special campaign to crack down on the smuggling of imported fruits, successfully destroyed three smuggling criminal gangs and arrested 12 suspects, involving a case value of about 1.355 billion yuan.

　　The smuggling gang involved in the case has been purchasing mangosteen, longan, durian and other fruits of Thai origin overseas for a long time in the name of a company in Guangzhou, and after transporting them to the borders of Guangxi and Yunnan, the local smuggling gang responsible for customs clearance declared imports through border small-scale trade and general trade by falsely reporting the origin and underreporting the price, and sold them to Guangzhou and other places for profit. In addition, it was found that smuggling gangs smuggled fruits in the border market under the guise of "border residents".

　　At present, the case is under further investigation. Guangzhou Customs will resolutely implement the deployment of the special action of "National Sword 2020" of the General Administration of Customs, and resolutely crack down on smuggling crimes by relying on the working mechanism of "smuggling by all staff" to safeguard the "safety at the table" of ordinary people.

In February, 2021, new york Mayor’s Food Policy Office released the first 10-year food policy plan "NYC: A 10-year food policy plan". This series consists of seven articles, translated by the team of "the other mountains all appear dwarfs under the sky.-Sustainable City and Transportation". This is the fourth article, which introduces the second goal of new york’s ten-year food policy plan: to make new york’s food economy promote economic development and provide good jobs.

New york has more than 40,000 food enterprises, employing hundreds of thousands of workers. It is difficult to calculate the exact number of workers, because there is no reliable data to explain the number of workers in the "gig economy" in food distribution. These workers and enterprises are vital to the health and well-being of new york people. The food industry is an important source of employment and property income for colored people and immigrant communities (79% of food workers in new york are colored people, including 43% Latinos and 21% Asians).

The catering industry is also very important to the city, because it is the main attraction of residents, workers and tourists, supporting many other industries, such as office employment in the central business district and attracting tourists. In fact, the catering industry is the key to making new york so attractive. Its economic contribution is also great. In 2019, the taxable sales of the catering industry reached nearly $27 billion.

However, working in the food industry or owning a business is extremely challenging. The food industry usually has a low profit margin, while the cost of running a business in new york is high. About 99% of food enterprises in the city are small enterprises with less than 100 workers, while 70% are micro enterprises with less than 10 workers. In addition, the wages of food workers are usually low, and they lack job security and mobility opportunities. Many deliverymen (an increasingly important part of the food industry) are considered as independent contract workers and cannot get the same protection and benefits as employees.

If new york wants to improve its food system, it must first support both food workers and food enterprises. The support for the two is not mutually exclusive, but mutually reinforcing. These strategies also focus on the future of food enterprises, including supporting a new ownership model that conforms to the principles of economic democracy and technological change.

Size of food enterprises in new york (calculated by number of employees). Cartography: the other mountains all appear dwarfs under the sky., the picture is from NYC Food Forward, only translated in Chinese.

Strategy 1: Protect the rights and interests of food practitioners　

Implementing fair scheduling method in fast food industry

New york will strictly implement the fast food fair scheduling laws, so as to optimize the fast food industry into a benign occupation with stable and predictable working hours and wages. Strong law enforcement will ensure that workers in fast food restaurants can arrange shifts fairly and even get overtime pay when the shift schedule is temporarily changed. Law enforcement will also ensure that workers in the fast food industry can settle down through regular shifts in high-mobility industries.

Provide financial and technical support for workers’ cooperatives

The cooperative model has a long history in the food field. Worker-owned cooperatives have yet to become a powerful tool for new york to accumulate assets and eliminate the gap between the rich and the poor. In order to meet the needs of food enterprises, new york will not only coordinate existing auxiliary projects to support cooperatives, such as Employee Ownership, but also explore innovative financial and technical support projects.

When it is not appropriate for the government to directly intervene in enterprises, the New York City Government will also explore cooperation with community-based organizations, business improvement areas (BID) and merchant associations, and provide support for cooperative organization efforts in five administrative regions.

Improve the situation of food workers.

New york will promote a series of state and federal bills to improve the situation of workers in the food industry, as listed below:

(1) Ensure that all employees in the food industry are included in the federal and state welfare plans;

(2) For employers who fail to protect workers’ health, abolish relevant laws that limit their responsibilities;

(3) Change the state regulations on tip pool sharing, and expand the scope of employees who participate in tip sharing, so that employees without tips can also get some sharing;

(4) To cope with emergencies, set up a hazard pay for grass-roots food workers.

Provide support to practitioners of food programs.

New york will make efforts to provide support to practitioners of food programs. Under the circumstance that the purchasing power is restricted by the current laws, new york will first ensure that food suppliers abide by the current labor laws and collect more labor-related information from food suppliers. In addition, new york will promote the revision of applicable laws and use food procurement power to optimize the working conditions of food practitioners.

Expand child care services to solve the problem of night care for children of food practitioners.

During the COVID-19 crisis, new york deeply realized the hard work and important role of food practitioners. Child care has been provided through the Regional Enrichment Centers "and child care programs throughout the city. With the gradual recovery of the city, existing facilities for childcare projects will be expanded or new projects will be created, including night and weekend care, which is the time when children need care most and parents are most inconvenient to take care of. Providing night and weekend child care will enable parents who often work at night and weekend classes to improve their work flexibility and reduce the cost of childcare.

Feasibility study on developing basic social security benefits

New york will conduct a feasibility study on the basic social security benefits for all food workers. This study will explore the potential partnerships among food practitioners, enterprises, community organizations and financial institutions. This project focuses on providing welfare protection such as pension and medical insurance for food practitioners. New york will also push the federal government to introduce a bill to provide full and fair social security benefits for all employees, regardless of their employers, workplaces or job nature.

Strategy 2: Simplify the process, encourage innovation and support small food enterprises.

Promote tax credits for small businesses.

New york will promote state legislation and establish a tax deduction mechanism for small businesses, including the food industry, to promote the recovery of small businesses in new york. Eligible enterprises with a total income of less than $1 million will receive a tax credit of 6% of their rent in 2021, with a maximum tax credit of $10,000.

Simplify the related processes of food enterprises

New york will review the regulations and enforcement procedures related to small food enterprises (including street vendors) to streamline the process. New york will improve efficiency as much as possible, and expand consolidated licensing and inspection services, so that simplified processes can benefit start-up and existing small food enterprises. The municipal government will also carry out innovation in matters related to food enterprises and increase opportunities for participation, especially cooperation with immigrant organizations.

Support the food enterprises of new york Housing Bureau.

New york will cooperate with enterprises and community organizations to expand the Food Business Pathways of new york Housing Bureau (NYCHA). The establishment of the Business Accelerator Program aims to enable residents of the public housing development project of new york Housing Bureau and those who hold the Class 8 housing clause subsidy voucher of new york Housing Bureau (note: the subsidy voucher program was established in 1978 to provide assistance to eligible low-and middle-income families in renting houses from private hands) to start and develop food business.

Promote the protection of food property and customer data.

The successful operation of food business relies more and more on the data of third-party providers. However, food enterprises often lack professional knowledge or the ability to use these services on favorable terms, and may not be able to obtain key information such as customer data. New york has convened a number of stakeholders to jointly promote initiatives to protect the data of food enterprises and customers, such as the "data bill of rights" for food enterprises and customers.

Support the needs of food enterprises and cooperatives

New york will convene stakeholders in the food industry to identify and design new projects to meet the special demands of food enterprises and non-profit organizations. New york City will then promote the effective implementation of these projects by the state and federal governments. This may include developing new financing and technical assistance programs to help mutual-help and self-operated workers’ cooperatives and small food enterprises.

Suppliers are more likely to participate in the urban procurement process.

New york will promote the smooth connection between potential food suppliers and the urban procurement process. PASSPort, a digital procurement portal in new york, will launch new functions to improve the procurement process. Including: simplifying the collection process, speeding up the issuance of invoices, improving transparency more widely and promoting cross-departmental cooperation.

In addition, new york will explore ways: using matchmaking tools and group buying strategies to increase the number of bids for urban food contracts; Expand technical support and guide the procurement process; Provide process navigator to assist small suppliers in the procurement bidding process; And explore to simplify the application process of M/WBE (note: M/WBE: minority and women-owned business enterprises, enterprises owned, operated and controlled by ethnic minorities and women).

Strategy 3: Help the next generation of food workers get high-quality jobs.

Launch a community recruitment plan for the food industry.

New york will use the current new york NYC plan and the proposed Community HireNYC Legislation to expand the recruitment demand, and set up good entry-level posts in the whole food procurement process, including food production, distribution, transportation and other related work.

New york will combine the existing and new training plans to provide human resources for suppliers, and require suppliers to provide interviews and employment opportunities for qualified low-income people. New york will also cooperate with anchor institutions to expand the number of high-quality entry-level jobs in food procurement, and pay special attention to core institutions in underserved communities.

Support food technology vocational training

New york’s partners in catering, manufacturing and industry will continue to keep pace with the technological upgrading of the industry. These partners will provide advice to small business service organizations (SBS) on the development of specific labor force and provide new technology training programs for industry practitioners. This can ensure that employees are at the forefront of technological change and that they learn new skills at work, rather than being replaced by new technologies.

Create and expand the career path of food practitioners

New york will ensure the prospect and "Qian Jing" of food industry, both warehouse workers and kitchen staff can be developed, and provide more training, certification and business plans for food practitioners.

Listed below:

(i) Expand training and entrepreneurship programs for commercial kitchens, such as the First Course NYC and Food Business Pathways in new york;

(ii) providing English as a Second Language services for non-native English-speaking food workers;

(iii) Cooperating with the industry to provide the US Department of Energy (DOE) vocational and technical education courses for practitioners in food production, processing, storage and distribution processes;

(iv) Linking youth training programmes with career paths;

(v) Explore the curriculum options of NYC Health Department’s Health Academy of new york Municipal Health Bureau, which is a labor force development center that provides food safety training for food practitioners.

Make a development plan for campus food practitioners

To provide the healthiest and freshest food for students in new york, well-trained practitioners are essential. New york will cooperate with academic circles and the private sector to provide accurate and comprehensive training courses for all school food managers. Training topics include but are not limited to: leadership skills, storage and organization, knife skills, use of tools and equipment, basic cooking skills, menu planning and food preparation. New york will also make an in-depth analysis of the current training programs to see if it is necessary to upgrade.

　　CCTV News:2023 is the 25th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Africa, and it is also the BRICS "South Africa Year". At the press conference on August 17th, a spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce said that in recent years, under the strategic guidance and personal promotion of the two heads of state, the economic and trade cooperation between China and South Africa has made great progress.

　　Bilateral trade grew rapidly. In 2022, the bilateral trade volume between China and South Africa reached US$ 56.74 billion, a year-on-year increase of 5%, a record high in eight years. In the first half of 2023, it was further accelerated, with an increase of 11.7%. China has been South Africa’s largest trading partner for 14 consecutive years, and South Africa has been China’s largest trading partner in Africa for 13 consecutive years.

　　Two-way investment has achieved remarkable results. China is one of South Africa’s major sources of investment, with an investment stock of more than 10 billion US dollars, covering finance, home appliances, automobiles, mining, energy and other fields. South Africa is also the African country that actually invests the most in China, and the two sides have formed a stable and strong cooperative relationship in the supply chain and industrial chain.

　　Cooperation under the multilateral framework is strong and effective. The two sides jointly safeguard the non-discriminatory, open, inclusive and transparent multilateral trading system, emphasize the importance of multilateralism, and jointly promote the success of the 12th WTO Ministerial Conference beyond expectations.

　　China Daily Online, May 6 (Xinhua) Foreign media reported that recently, with the fermentation of American banking crisis, panic is intensifying in the American financial circle represented by Wall Street. Many people in the industry pointed out that the current market situation is not good, and the crisis may spread again, but the regulatory system has not paid enough attention to it.

　　"Starting with the collapse of the Silicon Valley Bank, although the government intervened to provide protection for depositors and provided loans to major banks, fear has taken root and continued to breed on Wall Street." CNN reported that.

　　"We feel a strong sense of worry and feel that something is about to happen." The report quoted Ed Moya, a senior market analyst at Anda, as saying, "Infectious panic has never dissipated."

　　This is a First Total Bank photographed in new york, USA on May 1st. (Xinhua News Agency, photo by Guo Ke)

　　Recently, the First Total Bank of the United States declared bankruptcy, becoming the third bank in the United States to close this year. Investors are beginning to worry, who will be next? Many people have focused their eyes on a regional bank in California — — Western Pacific Union Bank. On Thursday, the bank’s share price was close to "halved", and the bank has also said that it is currently exploring "strategic options".

　　Not only the Western Pacific Union Bank, but also the share price of lines West Bank in the United States once plunged after the Financial Times broke the news that it was seeking to sell. The Arizona-based bank subsequently denied the report, making its share price "recover lost ground", but its market value has dropped by 65% this year.

　　In addition, regional banks located in the southeast — — First Horizon Bank is also "teetering", and its $13 billion M&A agreement with Dominion Bank of Canada has been terminated.

　　In the face of concerns, Western Pacific Union Bank said that the bank’s current liquidity is abundant, the available liquidity is still stable, and it exceeds uninsured deposits, accounting for 188%. However, this data does not seem to completely dispel the market’s doubts.

　　"Usually, these data can dispel investors’ fears, but now it is ‘ Extraordinary period ’ 。” Edmoya said, "Even if the data doesn’t look so bad, as long as the market is eyeing you, the game is over."

　　The pessimism of the market has also been verified by the statements of some well-known investors. On Thursday, Bill Ackerman, a well-known American investor and billionaire, stated on the social media platform that the current regional banks in the United States have generally fallen into crisis.

　　Ackerman criticized the American banking supervision system. He also said: "It takes decades to build confidence in financial institutions, but it only takes a few days to completely destroy this trust. With the fall of dominoes, the next fragile bank started again ‘ Teetering ’ 。”

　　With the collapse of many banks, the financial hegemony of the dollar system is disintegrating. (Source: China Daily Roger English China Journal, March 24, 2023, 8th edition)

　　Ackerman and others are calling on the US government to further intervene and raise the upper limit of deposit insurance in the United States. At present, the maximum insured amount of most deposit accounts of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation of the United States is $250,000. For many companies that are struggling, this amount can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket. But even so, raising the deposit ceiling requires bipartisan support in the US Congress, and "for rational market participants, no one will count on this".

　　Ackerman is not the only one who criticizes American regulators. Mohammed El-Elian, chief economic adviser of Allianz, also said that the Fed should solve the problem of banking turmoil. He said that the risk of more bank failures has not been eliminated. The big banks in the United States will not be among the first-round shocks, and the problems will all focus on smaller and regional banks.

　　David Rosenberg, a famous economist, also criticized the Fed’s attitude towards the banking crisis. He believes that in the face of the continuous fermentation of the banking crisis, Fed officials have not paid enough attention to it.

　　"We are likely to default on our debts at the moment, and the banking crisis is spreading. Sorry Jamie (referring to Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell), the crisis is not over. Focusing on inflation, these people can’t hear clearly. " Rosenberg said.

During the riots and conflicts in the past month or so, the Hong Kong police devoted themselves to their duties and exercised professional restraint, which became the last barrier to maintaining public order and defending the rule of law.

However, activists’ acts of stigmatizing the police and cyberbullying have intensified: some teachers have viciously cursed police children, and nearly 1,200 police officers’ personal data have been leaked by criminals, which has caused great troubles to the lives of the parties and their families.

In addition, the account also claimed that it "has a mole informant in the police force and major Hong Kong media", and its administrator claimed to be overseas and provoked the police to "have the ability to fly abroad to arrest me".

Superintendent Mo Junjie of Cybersecurity and Technology Crime Bureau of Hong Kong Police informed the media about the disclosure of police personal data.

Among them, the most notorious is a channel called "Old Bean" on an instant messaging software Telegram. Because of the encryption of its server, Telegram has become an online contact point for Hong Kong extremists to hook up with each other and conduct "human flesh search" on Hong Kong police and other related people.

Verified by Observer Network, this channel was established on July 7th. Since July 15th, the number of subscriptions and views has soared. At present, 74,000 subscribers have posted 911 photos, 21 videos and 26 documents, most of which are personal information of police officers and their families.

The channel manager and main information publisher is an account with the user name "Laodou Yizai", which means "father seeking son" in Cantonese, which is insulting to the police and other relevant searched people. The account claims that the team "has more than 50 people, all of whom have settled in the United States, Canada, Britain and other places".

Its operation mode is: firstly, upload photos of police officers’ faces taken by the media or protesters at the scene, then confirm the identity of police officers through face recognition and "human flesh search" and disclose their personal information: from job number and contact information to family background and family photos, the level of detail is chilling.

Screenshot of related channel release information

Because "the face recognition department needs a lot of data", the account suggested that members take photos at the entrance of the police dormitory, and emphasized that "each person has two more angles". In addition, the channel also uses vicious language to attack and threaten police officers and their families, claiming that its purpose is "the disaster will reach his wife and children".

With the outbreak of street violence, the addresses and contact information of a number of senior police officers have been exposed one after another, including Commissioner of Police Stephen Lo, Deputy Director Deng Bingqiang and British Chief Superintendent Tao Hui.

It is worth mentioning that the account once claimed that it "has a mole informant in the police force and major Hong Kong media". In addition, its contents include "teaching" in making incendiary bombs, using slingshots and hiding portable knives.

On August 1, the Hong Kong police released a video to introduce the situation that the police information was "bottomed out". Superintendent Liu Zhaobang revealed that since June 9, the personal data of more than 1,200 police officers and their families have been leaked on the Internet.

Insult words were posted on the door of a police officer’s house, and personal data were taken to borrow money from a financial company, which made family members very worried and worried every day. What’s more, even the photos of young children of police officers were made public, and some netizens threatened to "pick up their children from school".

Superintendent Liu reiterated that these acts may violate the crimes of "using computers with criminal or dishonest intentions", "criminal intimidation" or violation of privacy regulations, and the police will never tolerate them.

On Friday (2nd), Hong Kong police arrested three men on suspicion of inciting others to commit public nuisance and fraud. One of the suspects was involved in using the illegally leaked information of police officers to apply for a loan online, but fortunately it was not successful.

Mo Junjie, Superintendent of Cyber Security and Technology Crime Bureau, said that in view of the recent radical remarks on the Internet, which instigated others to make offensive weapons, contain buildings, and even attack others, and caused nuisance and intimidation to police officers and their families, the police reminded young people not to break the law.

The administrator account did not forget to provoke the police while forwarding the above news, emphasizing that he was overseas and "had the ability to fly abroad to arrest me".

The channel released photos, trying to prove that the administrator took screenshots abroad.

According to a report in Ming Pao last Sunday (28th), the Hong Kong police arrested a 29-year-old man surnamed Zhang in a shopping mall on 25th on suspicion of "conspiracy or abetting murder", and accused him of being the administrator of the "Laodou Daizi" group, abetting members to assassinate the police.

However, Zhang denied this and quibbled with The New York Times that he had tried to develop a face recognition software and was suspected of being arrested. He has been released on bail pending investigation and is required to report to the police in late August.

Wu Zongluan, a lawyer group with close ties to the opposition and the convener of the Hong Kong Forensic Science Conference, said that if the case is brought to court, the prosecution must prove that the defendant has taken concrete or further actions to kill people because of the relevant remarks. He also said that this matter "is not just as simple as lip service", even if the murder did not happen in the end, there is a chance to be guilty.

According to the Crimes against the Person Ordinance of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the conviction of "conspiracy or abetting murder" can be sentenced to life imprisonment.

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, March 23rd (Reporter Hu Hao)The case of illegal operation of vaccines in Shandong has recently aroused public concern about vaccines: what will happen if vaccines are not transported through the cold chain? Worried that the vaccinated vaccine is invalid, do you want to replant it? What’s the difference between the first-class vaccine and the second-class vaccine in transportation and use? At the media forum organized by the National Health and Family Planning Commission on the 23rd, experts from China’s immunization program answered questions of general concern.

Why should vaccines be refrigerated? How terrible is a vaccine that is not refrigerated?

Zhao Kai, academician of China Academy of Engineering and chairman of the National Committee of Experts on Immunization Planning: Vaccines are biological products made by various pathogenic microorganisms. Some vaccines are attenuated viruses, for example, the main component of measles vaccine is attenuated measles virus, which is alive; Have a plenty of inactivated vaccine, after the bacteria are inactivated, it is an active protein, which plays an immune function.

Therefore, vaccines are delicate. For example, vaccines are afraid of heat and light, and sometimes some vaccines are afraid of freezing. In order to keep the vaccine active, cold chain should be used in transportation.

Generally speaking, if there is no cold chain during the storage and transportation of the vaccine, the activity of the vaccine will be affected more or less, but it is also related to the length of time and temperature outside the cold chain.

As for whether vaccines that have not been transported by cold chain will have adverse vaccination reactions, two factors need to be integrated. One is to investigate the cold chain situation of illegal vaccine transportation, and the other is to investigate the monitoring situation of the information management system for suspected adverse vaccination reactions.

Wang Huaqing, MD, Chief Physician of China Center for Disease Control and Prevention: Theoretically, the vaccine involved is a vaccine produced by a regular manufacturer, not a fake vaccine or a fake vaccine. It has quality control in the early stage, and the safety risk will be less. The impact of not having cold chain transportation in the later period needs to be evaluated.

What is the relationship between class I vaccine and class II vaccine? What’s the difference between management?

Wang Huaqing: A class of vaccines includes three situations. First, 14 vaccines designated by the state prevent 15 diseases. Second, the increase of the provincial health administrative department is included in the national immunization plan. The third is the emergency immunization organized by the government. For example, if there is an epidemic, emergency immunization is needed, or it is possible to predict that the disease will become popular and organize group vaccination, which all belong to the first type of vaccine.

The first type of vaccine is vaccinated free of charge; The second kind of vaccine is self-funded and voluntary.

The management of the second type of vaccine is technically the same as that of the first type of vaccine. The technical requirements are the same whether in circulation or use. However, its procurement methods are different and its supply channels are different. The procurement of the first type of vaccine is carried out by the government, and then distributed step by step through the disease control system, and finally to the inoculation unit. The second type of vaccine is based on the regulations on the management of vaccine circulation and vaccination. Production enterprises can supply it directly to business enterprises, or to disease control departments and vaccination units. Business enterprises can supply disease control institutions, vaccination units or other business enterprises. So the channels are different.

Is there any difference in quality between domestic vaccines and imported vaccines?

Zhao Kai: The technological level of domestic vaccines is completely similar to that of foreign countries. In particular, the quality of vaccines, China’s 2010 edition pharmacopoeia and the European Union’s pharmacopoeia standards are the same. Some domestic vaccines and imported vaccines have been compared or observed, and they are all the same.

Every batch of vaccines produced in China must undergo compulsory inspection and audit before they are put on the market, which is called "batch inspection". Those that fail are not allowed to go on the market. I think this quality is guaranteed.

Wang Huaqing: Actually, domestic vaccines and imported vaccines require the same standards, and they will not enter the market until they reach the standard. Most of our country uses domestic vaccines, and the control of infectious diseases in China is the contribution of domestic vaccines. If there is no domestic vaccine, the control of polio, hepatitis B and measles in China will not be so good. These are all the effects obtained by inoculating children with our own vaccines. Therefore, the final evaluation depends on whether the disease has been controlled after the application of the vaccine and whether its suspected abnormal reactions have increased. In fact, from our monitoring, there is no big difference between domestic and imported vaccines.

How to deal with vaccines near the shelf life? Is it possible to vaccinate the public with expired vaccines?

Han Cheng, director of Desheng Community Health Service Center in Xicheng District, Beijing: As a primary health service center, our vaccine procurement path is very strict, and there are also strict regulations on the validity period. Drugs that have expired in the past six months cannot enter the procurement and distribution system, and the system will automatically block them. It is impossible to enter the organization. In addition, the purchase of vaccines is on a monthly basis, and one batch is used up before entering the second batch, and it is cleaned once a month, and it is uniformly distributed and purchased by the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

How do I know if my vaccine is a problem vaccine? Can it be traced back?

Han Chengcheng: The batch number of the vaccine can be traced back. Each child has a batch number corresponding to each medicine, which can be checked. Therefore, it can be traced back to which child a batch number was hit. The validity period of the vaccine, the time of vaccination, etc. are also completely traceable.

Wang Huaqing: When the vaccine enters the disease control system, there will be a receipt form, when it was delivered, the process of delivery, its temperature, the varieties delivered and the quantity, all of which have a complete receiving record. In the process of use, there are two records, including the parents’ signature, when and what vaccine the children took, which company and the batch number. One is the vaccination certificate in the hands of the parents, and the other is the record or vaccination card of the electronic information system.

Is it necessary to confirm whether the vaccine is effectively vaccinated by antibody testing? Is it necessary to replant the vaccine?

Wang Huaqing: If you were not vaccinated in childhood, when should you replant? Different vaccines are different, which needs to be judged again.

We are all very concerned. Did I succeed after the vaccination? The international general principle is that there is no need for testing, because if the vaccine reaches a high vaccination rate, the whole population will have a barrier.

Vaccination, under normal circumstances, does not mean that everyone produces protection, because the main function of vaccine is a group. For example, if 80% to 85% of polio is successful after taking sugar pills, polio will be blocked and eliminated.

If everyone is vaccinated, we will build this crowd barrier. If some people are vaccinated and some people are not vaccinated, the disease may become popular in the future. Therefore, to control an infectious disease, we must maintain a very high vaccination rate in vaccination, especially in the use of vaccines in the national immunization program. If the vaccination rate is not high, then the disease will become popular.

　　The drug problem is related to national security, the rise and fall of the nation and the well-being of the people. It is the consistent position and firm proposition of the China government to strictly control drugs. In the past 20 years, faced with the severe challenge of the rapid development and spread of the drug problem, the China government has always attached importance to drug control, insisted on incorporating drug control into the economic and social development plan as an important part of national security and social stability, mobilized all social forces, took all necessary measures, and tried its best to ban drugs and benefit the people.

　　In recent years, especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee, the State Council and local party committees and governments at all levels, all relevant departments in various regions have adhered to source management, systematic management, comprehensive management, and legal management, and insisted on taking multiple measures to prohibit planting, trafficking, and smoking. Through unremitting efforts, China’s drug control struggle has achieved remarkable results.

　　Mobilize all forces to form a new pattern of comprehensive drug control

　　Since the late 1990s, the drug situation has become increasingly severe and complicated. Faced with this situation, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council have made a series of strategic decisions to strengthen drug control work, and the responsibility system, leadership system, working mechanism and guarantee mechanism for drug control work have been gradually established and improved, forming a new pattern of comprehensive drug control with unified leadership of governments at all levels, organization and coordination of drug control committees, respective responsibilities of relevant departments and extensive participation of social forces.

　　In 1990, the Government of China established the National Narcotics Control Committee composed of 25 departments, including the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Health and the General Administration of Customs, to study and formulate important policies and measures in drug control, coordinate relevant major issues, and lead the national drug control work in a unified way. In 1998, the State Council approved the Ministry of Public Security to set up an anti-drug bureau. Since the national people’s war against drugs was launched in 2005, according to the development and changes of the drug problem in China, the State Council has repeatedly adjusted and enriched the member units of the National Narcotics Control Committee to meet the needs of the anti-drug struggle. At present, the number of member units of the National Narcotics Control Committee has reached 38, and working groups on anti-drug publicity and education, anti-drug investigation information, and drug prohibition and detoxification have been established.

　　Adhere to drug control according to law and gradually improve the legal system of drug control.

　　The government of China attaches great importance to the construction of the legal system of drug control, constantly speeds up the pace of drug control legislation, and has formulated and promulgated a series of laws and regulations. The legal system of drug control has been gradually improved, and drug control according to law has become the guiding principle of drug control work.

　　From the 1970s to the 1990s, the China Municipal Government successively promulgated the Criminal Law, the Customs Law, the Regulations on Administrative Penalties for Public Security and other laws and regulations. On June 1st, 2008, China’s first law comprehensively regulated drug control — — People’s Republic of China (PRC) Anti-drug Law was formally implemented. As a book summarizing China’s experience in drug control for many years and absorbing the essence of international drug control legislation, it provides legal guarantee for comprehensively strengthening drug control work under the new situation, and China’s drug control work has thus entered a new historical stage of comprehensive promotion according to law.

　　At present, a system of anti-drug laws and regulations has been formed at the national level in China, with the Criminal Law, the Anti-drug Law, the Regulations on Drug Rehabilitation, the Regulations on the Management of Precursor Chemicals and the Regulations on the Management of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances as the main body, and local governments have successively formulated a series of supporting laws and regulations, providing a powerful legal weapon for the anti-drug struggle.

　　Contain drug sources and crack down on drug crimes.

　　China’s anti-drug department has always maintained the trend of cracking down on drug crimes, improved the three-dimensional prevention and control system of land, sea and air mail, and innovated the methods and means of drug enforcement, which severely cracked down on and effectively deterred drug crimes.

　　First, vigorously strengthen source blocking and interception to effectively curb the source of drugs. The anti-drug department of China has continuously improved the "three lines of defense" of blocking the first line of the border, checking the second line of the mainland and cutting the main roads, airports, stations and docks, forming a three-dimensional prevention and control system covering the main land, sea, air and postal routes.

　　Second, we will continue to carry out special anti-drug campaigns and effectively strengthen investigation and solving cases. Since the people’s war against drugs was launched, a series of special actions such as "pulling out nails" have been organized against foreign drug lords, and a large number of serious cases have been successfully cracked, and more than 80 domestic and foreign drug lords and important drug dealers, including Liu Zhaohua, Han Yongwan, Cai Aishan and Zhong Wanyuan, have been arrested.

　　The third is to comprehensively deepen the key rectification of drug control and effectively solve the prominent drug problem. By stepping up efforts to rectify drug trafficking and drug-related problems of special groups, 38,900 drug traffickers were arrested nationwide in 2015 alone. By using satellite remote sensing technology, the "Tianmu" series of drug shoveling operations were continuously carried out, and it was found that the illegally planted opium poppy was completely eradicated. Since the people’s war against drugs was launched in 2005, more than 1 million drug-related crimes have been cracked, 1.15 million drug suspects have been arrested and 751 tons of various drugs have been seized.

　　Prevention education is given priority to, and people’s awareness of drug control is generally improved.

　　The Anti-drug Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) defines the policy of "prevention first" in anti-drug work, and stipulates the anti-drug publicity and education in a special chapter.

　　Public security, education, civil affairs, judicial administration, culture, trade unions, the Communist Youth League, women’s federations and other departments insist on taking teenagers, unemployed people and migrant workers as the focus of anti-drug publicity and education, create rich carriers of brand education activities, organize anti-drug publicity activities covering the whole year with the national anti-drug publicity month in June as the focus, and promote anti-drug publicity and education into communities, schools, units, families, places and rural areas.

　　At present, China has established 9 national demonstration bases for drug prevention education, more than 20 provincial anti-drug education bases, more than 700 anti-drug social organizations and more than 1 million anti-drug volunteers. The annual growth rate of newly discovered heroin users has dropped from 13.7% in 2008 to 6.6% in 2013.

　　Advocating people-oriented, actively educating and saving drug addicts

　　In view of the serious harm caused by drug abuse to drug addicts, their families and society, we have comprehensively used legal, administrative, economic, educational and medical means to control the drug problem, and education has saved a large number of drug addicts.

　　At present, 57 drug rehabilitation places have been built in China, and 95,000 drug rehabilitation personnel have been resettled, which has played a positive role in ensuring people’s livelihood and maintaining social harmony and stability.

　　In recent years, China has made great efforts to promote community detoxification and community rehabilitation, with towns and streets as the main body, relying on the masses and communities, mobilizing social forces, developing anti-drug social workers, and vigorously implementing the "August 31" community detoxification and community rehabilitation project. In the past five years, 27,000 community drug rehabilitation and community rehabilitation offices have been established nationwide, with 27,000 full-time drug control social workers and 68,000 part-time social workers. A total of 950,000 person-times of community-based drug rehabilitation have been carried out nationwide, and more than 1.2 million people have given up drug addiction for more than three years.

　　Strictly prevent illegal loss and strengthen the control of precursor chemicals

　　Proceeding from the fact that China is a big producer and exporter of chemicals, the national drug control department has earnestly implemented the 1988 United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances.

　　Over the years, China has always attached importance to the "two-way investigation" in border areas and entry and exit ports, which not only prevents drugs from entering the country, but also prevents precursor chemicals from being smuggled out of the country. At the same time, an international verification system for the import and export of precursor chemicals has been established jointly with the United Nations anti-drug agencies and relevant national authorities, and a management information system for precursor chemicals has been established, which has implemented information management for the production, operation and circulation of precursor chemicals. Over the years, China has actively participated in Operation Purple, Operation Topaz and Operation Prism carried out by the United Nations anti-drug system, and cooperated closely with the Shanghai Cooperation Organization to further strengthen the international verification of precursor chemicals exported by key varieties and countries.

　　Since the People’s War against Drugs, more than 23,000 tons of precursor chemicals and non-regulated chemicals have been seized through strict investigation, and 20,500 tons of precursor chemicals have been prevented from being exported through international verification.

　　Actively fulfill international conventions and make contributions to the world drug control cause.

　　The Government of China has always attached importance to international cooperation in drug control, and, as a responsible big country, has always followed the principle of "extensive participation, shared responsibility, comprehensive and balanced drug control strategy, and emphasis on alternative development" put forward at the twentieth special session of the General Assembly on drug control, and earnestly implemented international drug control conventions.

　　Actively promote regional bilateral and multilateral drug control cooperation. The Government of China has hosted many important multilateral international conferences, continuously deepened the mechanism of Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on drug control cooperation in Greater Mekong Subregion, the mechanism of "ASEAN+China" on drug control, the mechanism of Shanghai Cooperation Organization on drug control, and the mechanism of BRICS countries on drug control, and actively demonstrated China’s influence in the international drug control field.

　　Actively promote law enforcement and security cooperation in Mekong River Basin. In close cooperation with relevant countries, the case of "October 5" Mekong River was successfully solved in 2011, and naw kham, the first offender of the "Golden Triangle" mega-armed drug trafficking group, and key members were arrested. Leading the establishment of a law enforcement and security cooperation mechanism in the Mekong River Basin of China, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand, and continuing to carry out joint anti-drug operations to jointly crack down on transnational drug crimes and completely destroy criminal groups that have long endangered the security of this basin.

　　Actively carry out foreign law enforcement training, equipment and material assistance exchange and alternative development. China has gradually developed from a recipient country to an annual donation of US$ 1 million to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), and has trained nearly 2,000 drug enforcement officials for Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia and other countries within its capacity.

　　On 26th, local time, India announced the latest COVID-19 epidemic situation in the country.

　　As of 8: 00 on the same day, in the past 24 hours, India has added 352,991 confirmed cases of COVID-19, with a total of 17,313,163 confirmed cases. In the past three days, India has added more confirmed cases; There were 2812 new deaths and 195123 cumulative deaths.In the past three days,The cumulative number of newly confirmed cases of COVID-19 in India has exceeded one million. The newly confirmed and dead cases have once again set a new record in this country.

　　The epidemic situation in India continued to worsen, and the cumulative number of newly diagnosed cases exceeded one million in three days.

　　△ Schematic diagram of cumulative confirmed and dead cases of New Crown Pneumonia in India on the 26th (Source: WHO)

　　According to local media reports, the epidemic in India has been in the losing stage. In the capital, New Delhi, almost every 300 seconds, one person will die because of COVID-19.

　　According to the analysis of many foreign media, the epidemic situation in COVID-19 in India is so serious. On the one hand, the successful research and development of various vaccines led to the relaxation of epidemic prevention in India. On the other hand, the United States, as an important importer of medical raw materials in India, started the National Defense Production Law early, and restricted the export of vaccine raw materials for a long time, which led to the lack of medical care and medicine in India.

　　India urgently needs vaccine raw materials, but the United States turns a deaf ear.

　　△ Adar Poonawalla, CEO of the Indian Serum Institute, posted a message on social media, "pleading" with US President Biden to lift the ban on the export of vaccine raw materials in India.

　　The world’s largest vaccine manufacturer — — Adar Poonawalla, CEO of India Serum Research Institute, posted a message on social media on April 16th, "pleading" Biden’s government to lift the ban on India’s export of vaccine raw materials in order to increase India’s vaccine production. Reuters also revealed earlier that the foreign ministers of India and the United States also mentioned lifting the import ban during their talks on April 19th. However, the United States has never responded to this.

　　△ the State Council spokesperson Price

　　It was not until 22nd that a reporter’s question at the White House press conference broke the silence of the United States for the first time, although the United States was still pushing each other.

　　According to the minutes of the press conference that day, US State Department spokesman Ned Price first pushed the question to the Office of the US Trade Representative in response, saying that it was within their authority. After facing the reporter’s unrelenting questioning, Price said "the truth".

　　△ US local media reported that at the press conference that day, Price once again emphasized "US priority" and refused to export vaccine raw materials to India on this ground.

　　Price first said that the United States focused on controlling the epidemic in the United States, giving priority to vaccinating the American people, and stressed that the American approach was "ambitious", "fruitful" and "successful". Later, he continued to argue: "We do this for several reasons. First, we have a special responsibility to the American people. Second, in the United States alone, more than 550,000 people have died and tens of millions have been infected. The American people have been hit harder by the epidemic than other countries in the world. " Finally, he concluded: "It is not only in the interests of the United States to vaccinate Americans, but also in the interests of other countries in the world."

　　Indian media criticized the United States for making "vague verbal promises"

　　△ "The Times of India" published an article entitled "The United States made vague verbal commitments because it was criticized for turning a deaf ear to the COVID-19 epidemic in India" on the 23rd.

　　This speech instantly detonated the anger in India. The Times of India issued a document for two consecutive days, criticizing the U.S. government for turning a deaf ear to the Indian epidemic, saying that the so-called guarantee of the United States is only a "vague verbal promise" and pointing out that the Biden administration has done almost nothing except verbal sympathy.

　　△ "The Times of India" published another article on the 24th, saying that the Biden administration was cold-hearted about India’s urgent need for COVID-19 vaccine raw materials.

　　According to a report by Washington post on the 24th, only 1.4% people in India have been vaccinated, and overcrowded hospitals are facing the problem of lack of oxygen, while the United States is enjoying a spring full of vaccines. What makes the Indian people even more angry is that the United States would rather throw the extra vaccine in the warehouse like this than export the raw materials for vaccine production to India.

　　△ The New York Times reported on March 11 that the United States is sitting on the tens of millions of doses of COVID-19 vaccine that the world urgently needs.

　　On March 11th, The New York Times quoted an official familiar with the matter as saying that more than 30 million doses of vaccine were idle in a warehouse in Ohio, USA, and no one had ever used it. The Axios News Network of the United States commented that "when billions of people around the world are anxiously waiting for vaccines, 30 million doses of vaccines are eating ash in Ohio warehouses."

　　Indian netizens accused the US of being "hypocritical", "diplomatic rhetoric" and "untrustworthy"

　　△ Indian netizens accuse the United States of selfish behavior

　　Under the video of Price’s speech, an Indian netizen commented, "History will remember that a country with a population of 1.4 billion has helped more than 90 countries, while a so-called superpower is sitting on piles of vaccines. We won’t forget it, @ President of the United States ".

　　△ Indian netizens talked about India’s previous aid to COVID-19 drugs in the United States, but now the United States has turned a blind eye to India.

　　A netizen even turned over the old account and left a message: "When India itself was experiencing a serious COVID-19 epidemic, the United States successfully obtained hydroxychloroquine from India (which was previously considered as a specific drug for treating COVID-19, but was later confirmed by WHO to be almost ineffective). Now the United States is still banning the supply of vaccine raw materials to India. Obviously, the United States has become the most untrustworthy country on earth. "

　　In the case of accusations from all sides and the growing epidemic in India, it was not until the 25th that US President Biden and Vice President Harris began to formally respond, saying that they would provide assistance to India.

　　△ The Vice President of the United States posted a message on his personal social account on 25th local time, saying that he would support India in fighting the COVID-19 epidemic.

　　However, the Indian people who have been deceived and ignored for a long time obviously don’t buy it. A large number of Indian netizens commented that this move is still "hypocritical", "diplomatic rhetoric" and "untrustworthy", and they are still full of doubts about the US statement.

　　△ Indian netizens said that Harris’s move was just diplomatic rhetoric and could not be trusted.

　　△ Indian netizens replied that we need more details. Please don’t continue to publish such diplomatic rhetoric. We need actions, not "so-called statements".

　　The epidemic situation of COVID-19 in India is getting more and more serious, but the aid of the United States is far away

　　While the Indian people are still waiting for American aid in the epidemic, the epidemic in India has developed into a frightening situation.

　　△ABC reported that the epidemic situation in India continued to intensify, and crematoriums in many places had been cremated by burning bodies in the open air.

　　According to foreign media reports, in some crematoriums in India, the metal parts began to melt because of the long running time of gas stoves and wood stoves, and cremation stoves were damaged because of too many bodies to be burned. A large number of bodies could only be burned in the most primitive way. In many hospitals in India, there have been many suffocation accidents caused by lack of oxygen recently.

　　△ CNN published on the 26 th entitled "The COVID-19 epidemic in India is more severe. Two of the US diplomats in India died and more than 100 people tested positive for COVID-19."

　　CNN quoted diplomats working in the US Embassy in India as saying: All the staff were deeply frustrated, and even the staff of the US Embassy could only get vague statements before the actual assistance from the United States arrived.

Since March, the price of gold has continued to rise, setting a new record! The domestic gold price once appeared "overnight soaring". After accumulating a large increase, recently, the international gold price fluctuated at a high level, and the gold price that had previously maintained an upward trend sat on a "roller coaster".

How to rationally allocate limited assets in the gold market and make sustained profits has become an urgent problem for investors.

The price of gold suffered a major decline after the peak.

On April 12, local time, Loco London gold rose all the way in the morning, rising nearly 2.5% in intraday trading, but then plunged sharply, which not only retreated all the gains of the day, but also finally closed with a decline of 1.25%, with a retreat of nearly 4% in the day; Futures prices also followed the spot price out of a similar market. COMEX gold futures once rose more than 3% in intraday trading and finally closed down 0.53% at $2,360.2 per ounce.

Affected by the high diving of the international gold price, the increase of Shanghai Gold also narrowed on the night of April 12, and it once rose more than 4% in intraday trading, and then it was adjusted back, and the increase fell back to 0.15% at the close.

On the evening of April 10th, the latest data of ——CPI (Consumer Price Index), the most critical inflation data before the Federal Reserve’s May resolution, was released. The US CPI rose by 3.5% year-on-year in March, which was higher than the market expectation of 3.4%. This figure intensifies the fear that inflation will accelerate again, which means that the possibility of the Fed cutting interest rates in June will decrease. The market’s expectation of the timing and frequency of the Fed’s interest rate cut this year has also changed to two times since September.

After the data was released, the international gold and silver prices fell briefly. However, the year-on-year growth rate of the US PPI (ex-factory price index of industrial producers) in March announced on the evening of 11th was slightly lower than expected, and the chain growth rate slowed down to 0.2%, which made gold and silver "rebel" again.

On April 12, COMEX gold reached a maximum of $2,448.8 per ounce; Spot gold in London once reached $2,431.78 per ounce, both hitting record highs.

The gold price of jewelry is almost equal to 730 yuan/gram.

High prices "persuade" consumers

For the recent rise in gold prices, many netizens have commented on "regret not getting on the bus" and "the price of gold jewelry is too high". Some netizens also said, "Now this price is just needed and I dare not buy it."

"This period of time is a price per day. Generally speaking, it is a small increase or a small increase." The sales of a gold shop in Chengdu told reporters, "The price of gold has really risen too high recently, and many consumers are waiting to see. I have served a couple who are about to get married before, bought a ring before the New Year, and recently wanted to buy earrings, bracelets and other accessories, just because the price of gold has risen too high recently, I have been hesitating."

The salesperson told reporters that if you are in a hurry to get married, you can consider platinum rings, and there has been no big price fluctuation recently.

The reporter visited several brand gold stores in Chengdu and found that the listing price of gold jewelry today is slightly lower than that of 730 yuan per gram a few days ago. At present, the prices of jewelry in gold jewelry stores of brands such as Lao Fengxiang, Chow Tai Fook and Zhou Shengsheng are mostly between 720 yuan and 728 yuan per gram. In the actual purchase process, different brand stores will give different degrees of concessions through in-store concessions, discounts and full reduction, and the final price will be between 680 yuan and 710 yuan per gram.

"The peak period of gold consumption is generally around the New Year. Now, after entering March and April, consumers’ purchasing enthusiasm has declined, and passenger flow and transactions will be less." A clerk in a gold jewelry store told reporters that the price of gold has been rising recently, and some "non-just-needed" consumers will also choose to wait and see.

Explore the reasons for the sudden drop in the price of gold

After analysis, the researchers studying financial issues in the Climate Change and Energy Transformation Project of Peking University Energy Research Institute believe that the main reasons for the current downward trend of gold prices are as follows:

First, the value of the dollar has risen. As a substitute for the reserve currency, gold has an inverse relationship with the value curve of the dollar. Recently, the value of the dollar has suddenly increased, and investors have chosen to buy a large amount of dollars and sell gold at the same time, and the price of gold has decreased accordingly.

Second, the interest rate is raised. Recently, former US Treasury Secretary LawrenceSummers said in an interview with relevant media that the public should accept the possibility of raising interest rates by the Federal Reserve, rather than lowering interest rates. Therefore, the increase of interest rate will make investors consider whether it is reasonable to continue to buy gold without interest, which will lead to a decline in their willingness to buy, and then affect the price of gold.

Third, the expected production capacity of gold ore has increased. According to the relevant data released recently by Canadian mining giant osino, its Gemini mine project in Namibia will provide its parent company Yintai Gold with a gold production capacity of not less than 5 tons/year after it is put into production. Yintai Gold expects that the total gold production will rise to 12 tons in 2025. At the same time, Zijin Mining also expects the gold production capacity to rise to 73.5 tons in 2024. It can be seen that the increase in gold production will lead to oversupply, which will lead to a decline in gold prices.

Experts believe that the particularity of gold itself determines that it has an extremely complex market environment. For investors, it is necessary to always remember not to blindly follow the trend, "chase up and stop falling", carefully analyze the reasons for the rise and fall of the value of the invested products, and make a reasonable investment plan according to their own wealth level. Only by doing what they can can be stable and lasting and be invincible in the market. (Wu Shihao)
