Review and Prospect of World Economic Situation in 2014-2015

In 2014, the global economic recovery was basically consolidated, the labor market continued to improve, prices fell steadily, and the level of public debt was generally stable. At the same time, the differentiation of economic growth rate of various economies has intensified, and international trade and foreign direct investment are still in a low-speed growth channel, lacking growth momentum. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicts that the world economic growth rate in 2014 will be 3.3% in terms of purchasing power parity (PPP) and 2.6% in terms of market exchange rate, which is 0.3 percentage points and 0.4 percentage points lower than its forecast data in October 2013, respectively. Considering the protracted crisis in Ukraine and the economic sanctions imposed on Russia by western countries, the spread of Ebola epidemic in West Africa and the continuous tension and turmoil in the Middle East, especially the fact that some major economies are facing increasing downward pressure and the time lag of stimulus policies, it is not excluded that the final statistical result of the world economic growth rate in 2014 will be lower than the current IMF estimate.

Review of the overall situation of the world economy in 2014

In order to comprehensively reflect the overall development of the world economy in 2014, the analysis of this report will be carried out from five aspects: economic growth, employment situation, price level, trade and investment, and public debt.

I. Growth: The recovery is slow and the growth rate is divided.

In 2014, the world economy generally continued the slow recovery of the previous year, and the economic growth rate was lower than generally expected, and the growth rate differentiation of various economies intensified. According to the forecast data of IMF in October, the world economic growth rate in 2014 was 3.3%, which was the same as that in 2013. The economic growth rate of developed economies is 1.8%. Among them, the US economic recovery was consolidated, with an increase of 2.2%; The euro zone economy reversed the negative growth of last year and increased by 0.8%; Japan’s economy declined, growing by 0.9%. The economic growth rate of emerging markets and developing economies is 4.4%, which continues the continuous decline since 2010. The economic growth rates of Brazil, Russian, Indian and China are expected to be 0.3%, 0.2%, 5.6% and 7.4% respectively.

Second, employment: overall improvement but different performance.

The US labor market improved significantly in 2014, and the unemployment rate continued to decline. In November 2014, the unemployment rate dropped to 5.8%, the lowest level since August 2008. Employment in Europe improved slightly. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in the first three quarters of 2014 was 11.6%, of which the unemployment rate in September was 11.5%. In the first three quarters of 2014, the unemployment rate in Japan further dropped to 3.7%. The employment situation in emerging market countries has generally improved, but the performance is not the same. In the first three quarters of 2014, the registered urban unemployment rate in China was 4.1%. In September, Brazil’s unemployment rate fell to 4.9%, the lowest monthly level since 2002. The unemployment rates in Russia and South Africa in the first three quarters were 5.1% and 25.4% respectively.

Third, prices: generally stable and declining, and the risk of deflation is rising.

In 2014, the global inflation level was lower than that in 2013. According to OECD statistics, in September 2014, the consumer price index (CPI) in the United States rose by 1.7% year-on-year, up by 0.2 percentage points from the end of 2013. The CPI of Germany, Britain, France and Italy increased by 0.8%, 1.2%, 0.3% and -0.2% respectively, which decreased by 0.6, 0.8, 0.4 and 0.9 percentage points respectively compared with the end of 2013. Japan reversed the long-term price downturn. In September 2014, the CPI rose to 3.2% year-on-year, up 1.6 percentage points from the end of 2013, and it is expected to be 2.8% for the whole year. According to the IMF forecast data, the inflation rate in emerging markets and developing economies was 5.5% in 2014, which was 0.3 percentage points lower than that in 2013.

IV. Trade and investment: Low growth

According to UNCTAD data, global trade in goods increased by 1.6% in the first half of 2014. According to the forecast data of the World Trade Organization (WTO), the global trade in goods increased by 3.1% in 2014. At the same time, the trade balance of major economies is generally balanced. According to UNCTAD’s forecast data, the global FDI inflow in 2014 was 1.618 trillion US dollars, an increase of 11.5%. Among them, FDI inflows in developed economies and developing economies increased by 34.8% and -1.8% respectively.

V. Public debt: stable and generally controllable.

The IMF predicts that the fiscal deficit of developed economies will fall to 3.9% of GDP in 2014, and the developed economies as a whole have curbed the rapid rise of government debt. It is estimated that in 2014, the total government debt of the United States, the euro zone and Japan will account for 105.6%, 96.4% and 245.1% of GDP, respectively, up by 1.4, 1.2 and 1.9 percentage points compared with 2013; The ratio of German government’s total debt to GDP is estimated to be 75.5%, down 2.9 percentage points from 2013. The fiscal deficit and public debt of emerging markets and developing economies both increased slightly. In 2014, the fiscal deficit and total government debt accounted for 2.1% and 40.1% of GDP, respectively, up 0.4 and 0.8 percentage points from 2013.

Characteristics of World Economic Operation in 2014

The world economy showed many new features and changes in 2014. To sum up, it is mainly manifested in the following aspects.

First, the adjustment of US monetary policy has produced spillover effects.

On October 29th, 2014, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) announced that it would stop buying assets, thus ending the unconventional quantitative easing monetary policy (QE) launched in November, 2008. For other economies, the spillover effect of US monetary policy adjustment will bring great pressure to them. On the one hand, the gradual tightening of liquidity in the United States may lead to further capital flight from other economies, especially emerging markets and developing economies, currency depreciation and impact on its fragile banking system; On the other hand, the monetary policies of other economies have to be adjusted adaptively, thus adding new uncertainties.

Second, the monetary policy of developed economies has diverged

Although the Federal Reserve has begun to withdraw from quantitative easing and may enter the channel of raising interest rates in mid-2015, developed economies such as the euro zone and Japan continue to implement the largest expansionary monetary policy in history. On June 5, 2014, the European Central Bank (ECB) decided to cut the benchmark interest rate by 10 basis points to 0.15%, making it a record low. For the first time, the overnight deposit rate of banks was reduced to negative, which was -0.1%. On October 31, the Bank of Japan announced that it would expand the purchase scale of government bonds from 50 trillion yen to 80 trillion yen per year. Significantly, the unconventional expansionary monetary policies in Europe and Japan run counter to the adjustment direction of American monetary policy.

Third, emerging markets and developing economies have entered a medium-and high-speed growth cycle.

According to IMF data, from 2000 to 2012, the average annual GDP growth rate of emerging markets and developing economies was 6.2%, but since 2010, the GDP growth rate of emerging markets and developing economies has dropped from 7.5% to 4.4% in 2014. The reason is that the ultra-low interest rate environment for many years began to disappear with the turn of American monetary policy; Secondly, with the slowdown of growth and the weakening of unconventional incentive efficiency, the commodity boom cycle has come to an end; Thirdly, the dividend-rich period brought about by the previous reforms in various countries has come to an end, and the residual potential of the government supporting economic growth has been weakened; Finally, the opening cycle of developed economies has changed, and the opportunities for many emerging markets and developing economies to gain asymmetric benefits from the market opening of developed economies have decreased.

Fourth, international trade has entered a low-speed growth channel.

The reason for the mediocre growth rate of global trade is not only the slow growth rate of the global economy, but also the lack of progress in global multilateral and bilateral trade and investment liberalization negotiations. However, the more basic reason is the basic stereotype of the pattern of international trade division of labor. The fastest growth period of global trade after World War II occurred between 1989 and 2006, during which the growth rate of trade was 2-3 times that of economy, mainly due to the end of the Cold War, especially the beginning of fragmentation of production chain, which was marked by the establishment of the North American Free Trade Area in 1994. China’s entry into WTO in 2001 also greatly promoted the dazzling growth of international trade. Since 2007, with the establishment of global value chain, the world has entered a period when trade and output have increased at the same level.

Five, multiple factors lead to the collapse of crude oil prices.

On December 18, 2014, the average price of crude oil in the spot market in London, England, fell to $56.1/barrel, which was nearly 50% lower than the high point in June. The direct cause of the drop in crude oil price is the weakness of energy demand and the increase of supply. The growth rate of major energy importers such as Europe and China has slowed down, and the United States has also reduced its crude oil imports due to the continuous increase in oil and gas production, resulting in a decrease in energy demand in the international market. At the same time, Russia and Saudi Arabia, two major oil producers, have recently increased their production. Oil supply and demand and price changes are also due to the oil-gas game between the United States, Saudi Arabia and OPEC and the reduction of Russian oil revenue by western countries by suppressing oil prices. In addition, the US dollar index has been fluctuating and rising since the Federal Reserve gradually withdrew from the quantitative easing policy, which has contributed to the decline in oil prices. The sharp fluctuation of oil prices has a far-reaching impact. It is estimated that a drop of $10 per barrel in oil price means that 0.5% of global GDP is transferred from oil exporting countries to oil importing countries.

6. Global debt continued to rise and began to threaten the consolidation of recovery.

According to the Geneva World Economic Report, in 2001, the global total debt covering the private sector and the public sector accounted for 160% of the national income; In 2009, after the outbreak of the financial crisis, this proportion was about 200%; In 2013, this proportion rose to 215% again. Judging from historical experience, all "economic miracles" will come to an end after the debt is high. High debt level inevitably requires maintaining a low level of interest rate, otherwise the debtor will face great pressure to pay off debts. However, the global interest rate level is generally low, and the cost of borrowing is reduced, thus accelerating the accumulation of debt. The coexistence of low interest rates and rising asset prices makes the balance sheet look less stretched. However, once there is a global leverage crisis-asset price decline forces credit crunch-or a liquidity crisis, asset prices will fall further and form a vicious circle. At present, some economies have seen the trend of "toxic combination" of low inflation, low growth and high debt accumulating. De-leveraging is both imminent and has a long way to go.

Seven, Western sanctions against Russia have led to subtle changes in international economic relations.

On March 16th, 2014, the Crimea and Sevastopol regions of Ukraine held a referendum on the issue of "leaving Ukraine and entering Russia". On the 17th, the Crimean Parliament declared its independence from Ukraine and applied to join the Russian Federation according to the results of the referendum. On the 18th, the Russian Federation signed a treaty of accession to Russia with the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol. As a result, western economies, represented by the United States and Europe, began to launch several rounds of economic sanctions against Russia, which covered the prohibition of entry of specific personnel, freezing of assets of entities and individuals, suspension of financing cooperation, embargo on specific commodities and restrictions on technology transfer. The economic sanctions imposed by western countries have a rapid adverse impact on Russia, such as capital flight, devaluation of the ruble, slow growth and reduced trade. At present, western sanctions against Russia have had an impact on the flow of international trade and the closeness between countries. If sanctions persist and are constantly strengthened, it is likely to cause profound changes in global geopolitics and economy.

8. China has played a prominent role in international and regional cooperation.

At the summit held in Brazil in July 2014, BRICS leaders decided to start the preparatory plan for the BRICS Development Bank. The BRICS Development Bank, which is expected to officially start operation in 2016, marks that BRICS cooperation has entered a substantive stage of institutionalized construction. On October 24, 2014, 21 countries signed a memorandum on the establishment of an Asian infrastructure investment bank in Beijing. In November 2014, the supreme leader of president, China announced the establishment of the Silk Road Fund at the 2014 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Business Leaders Summit to provide investment and financing support for infrastructure construction, resource development, industrial cooperation and other related projects along the Belt and Road; In the same month, 21 members of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) gathered in Beijing to discuss such important issues as "promoting regional economic integration", "promoting economic innovation, development, reform and growth" and "strengthening all-round interconnection and infrastructure construction" around the theme of "building a future-oriented Asia-Pacific partnership", and new progress has been made in the construction of the Asia-Pacific Free Trade Area (FTAAP).

Income inequality is increasingly threatening the long-term growth of the world economy.

The inequality of income and wealth has become an unavoidable problem today. According to the British "Economist" data, at present, the richest 8.6% of the adult population in the world owns 85.3% of the world’s wealth, while the poor, who account for 69.8% of the world’s total population, own only 2.9% of the world’s total wealth. A booster that makes income distribution the focus is Thomas? The publication of Picchetti’s Capital in the 21st Century. Picchetti’s core view is that the rate of return on private capital is greater than the growth rate of output, which means that wealth accumulation is faster than the growth of output and wages, which inevitably makes entrepreneurs gradually become rentiers and make them dominate those who have nothing but labor ability more and more strongly; The proper solution is not to levy enough taxes on capital, but to levy an annual progressive capital tax in order to protect the incentives for new primitive accumulation.

Prospect of the overall situation of the world economy in 2015

According to the forecast data of IMF in October 2014, the world economic growth rate calculated by PPP in 2015 was 3.8%. Among them, the developed economies grew by 2.3%, the United States by 3.1%, the euro zone by 1.3% and Japan by 0.8%. Emerging markets and developing economies as a whole grew by 5.0%, China by 7.1%, India by 6.4%, Brazil by 1.4%, Russia by 0.5% and South Africa by 2.3%. At the market exchange rate, the world economy grew by 3.2% in 2015. In June 2014, the World Bank predicted that the world economic growth rate calculated by PPP and market exchange rate in 2015 would be 4.0% and 3.4% respectively. In May 2014, the United Nations predicted that the world economic growth rate calculated by PPP and market exchange rate in 2015 would be 3.8% and 3.2% respectively. In May 2014, OECD predicted that the world economic growth rate calculated by PPP in 2015 would be 3.9%. Looking forward to the world economic trend in 2015, there are the following problems worthy of attention.

First, the extent to which the monetary policies of the United States run counter to those of other important economies such as Europe and Japan and the seriousness of the consequences.

With the withdrawal of quantitative easing policy from the United States, whether to raise interest rates has become the focus of US monetary policy. Once inflation rises, the probability of the Fed raising interest rates in the first half of 2015 will increase. While the monetary policy in the United States is tightening, Europe and Japan continue to increase the stimulus. This reverse macro policy will have many effects, the most obvious of which is exchange rate fluctuation. The appreciation of the US dollar is beneficial to the recovery of European and Japanese exports, but at the same time, it will cause capital to gather in the United States, thus offsetting the effect of the loose monetary policy of the European and Japanese central banks. If the exchange rate of the US dollar fluctuates greatly, it will also cause large-scale changes in global asset prices and capital.

Second, the possibility of the European economy out of the downturn

At the beginning of November, 2014, the Council of the European Central Bank finally agreed to inject 1 trillion euros (about 1.24 trillion US dollars) for the purchase of guaranteed bonds and asset-backed bonds, so as to prevent the euro zone economy from falling into deflation. The balance sheet of the European Central Bank expanded from 2 trillion euros to the peak of 3 trillion euros. If the euro zone continues to face the threat of Japanese-style deflation, this move will also pave the way for the large-scale purchase of government bonds in the future. The Council of the European Central Bank also decided to keep the refinancing rate at an ultra-low level of 0.05%. Such a large-scale and long-term loose monetary policy has laid a hidden danger for the long-term growth of the economy while preventing further deterioration of the economy. Without the corresponding and powerful investment and growth support of the real economy, it is difficult to completely rule out the possibility that the European economy will fall into recession again.

Third, the ultimate effectiveness of "Abenomics"

In 2013, after the first two arrows of "Abenomics" were launched, it achieved certain results, and the Japanese economy achieved a growth rate of 1.5%. However, since 2014, the market’s policy expectation of "Abenomics" began to decline, and the signs of Japanese economic stagnation also appeared. The main reason is that the third arrow of "Abenomics" has not been shot, that is, the existing policies have not fully touched on structural reforms, such as rigid labor market and excessive corporate tax. At the same time, the ultra-high level of national debt, aging population, declining productivity growth, slow progress in agricultural reform and the second round of consumption tax increase from 8% to 10% in 2015 will all affect the realization of the "Abenomics" goal to varying degrees.

Fourth, the scope, intensity and effectiveness of the new round of reform in major emerging economies

In order to implement the strategic plan of the 18th CPC National Congress on comprehensively deepening reform, the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee in November 2013 adopted the Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Several Major Issues of Comprehensively Deepening Reform, covering 15 fields and 60 specific tasks. At present, some reform measures have been implemented. In May 2014, the new Indian Prime Minister Narendra? After Modi took office, he immediately launched a large-scale economic reform plan with the goal of "economic growth", including increasing investment, promoting industrial growth, improving the business environment and strictly controlling the fiscal deficit. The "dividend" released by the reform of China and India will directly determine whether they can continue to maintain the current medium-to-high-speed sustainable growth situation. At the same time, whether the economic downturn of Brazil and Russia can be contained will also have an important impact on the economic performance of the entire emerging markets and developing countries.

V. Potential risks in the global financial system, especially in developed countries

According to the Economist magazine, the next crisis will come from the asset management industry. In 2013, global asset management companies managed assets as high as US$ 87 trillion, accounting for three-quarters of banking assets, of which Black Rock Asset Management Company managed assets of US$ 4.4 trillion, larger than any bank. However, these huge asset management companies are not systemically important financial institutions (SIFIS), so they are not supervised by financial supervision departments. In order to meet the conservative accounting requirements, their profit model has begun to become an unstable amplifier, among which the fastest growth is the exchange-traded funds active in the short-term bond market. In January 2014, the Financial Stability Board (FSB) raised the question of whether to include asset management companies in SIFIS, and the Bank of England also warned about the potential harm of its activities. Once there is a problem with an asset management company that is less regulated, its chain reaction is bound to spread rapidly.

VI. Trends of geopolitics and economy

The scope, intensity and duration of sanctions imposed by western countries on Russia will not only affect the economy of Russia and countries with close economic relations with it, but also affect the geopolitical relations of relevant countries. After the mid-term elections in November 2014, the Republican Party controlled the Senate and the House of Representatives, which made the Democratic President a "lame duck" prematurely, and also added variables to the sensitive and subtle big country game. As an important energy center in the world, the stability of the Middle East is closely related to the rise and fall of the Islamic State. Once a major terrorist attack succeeds in other countries in the world, the first to be affected is the supply and price of oil, and the further consolidation of the world economic recovery will also be threatened.

Seven, large-scale epidemic and natural disasters

In 2014, the outbreak and spread of Ebola in West African countries have had a negative impact on the economic and social stability of some countries. If it is not effectively controlled and spread to major economies, it will affect global economic growth. At the same time, sudden serious natural disasters will also bring shocks to the economies of relevant countries.

In view of the current basic situation of the world economy and various signs of its development trend, and based on the description and analysis of the overall operation of the world economy in 2014, this report holds that the probability of a sharp recovery of the global economy in 2015 is small, and compared with 2014, it is more likely that the economic growth rate will be basically flat or slightly increased, that is, the growth rate calculated by PPP is 3.3%, and the growth rate calculated by market exchange rate is 2.8%. Among the four major economies in the United States, Europe, China and Japan, China is still likely to continue the inertia of the past years and become the country with the greatest contribution to global economic growth.

Overseas Chinese affairs are open and upgraded, and overseas Chinese enjoy the "welfare" of reform.

  (40 years of reform and opening up, gathering overseas Chinese hearts) Overseas Chinese affairs are open and upgraded, and overseas Chinese enjoy the "welfare" of reform.

  China news agency, Beijing, December 6 (Reporter Zhou Xinmai) In 1978, the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) opened the prelude to China’s reform and opening up. Deng Xiaoping’s assertion that "overseas relations are a good thing" has made the field of overseas Chinese affairs one of the important breakthroughs in reform and opening up.

  Over the past 40 years, with the gradual advancement of reform and opening up, China’s overseas Chinese affairs work has constantly presented a new situation. The fruits of reform and opening-up have benefited all aspects of the survival and development of overseas Chinese and their relatives.

  Economically, overseas Chinese businessmen continue to gain valuable opportunities. In 1983, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council pointed out in their instructions on strengthening the utilization of foreign capital that "overseas Chinese and compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Province are given special preferential treatment for investment in China"; The Interim Provisions of the State Council on Preferential Investment for Overseas Chinese promulgated in 1985 stipulates that "overseas Chinese investors can choose to invest in sole proprietorship, joint venture or cooperative operation with state-owned enterprises, joint venture or cooperative operation with collective enterprises".

  Taking advantage of the policy east wind, groups of overseas Chinese businessmen came to China to invest and start businesses. As a result, many small start-ups have made great returns from scratch and from small to large.

  For example, "Red Bull" was a functional drink invented by Xu Shubiao, a Thai Chinese, in 1975. It was only a niche brand in Thailand in the early days, and became famous in 1993 because it opened the China market, which laid an important foundation for its later leap to become a world brand. For another example, Zhang Yin, an American returned overseas Chinese, took the opportunity of reform and opening up to establish nine dragons paper Co., Ltd. in 1996, and now it has become the world’s largest modern packaging paper papermaking group.

  Helping overseas Chinese businessmen seize the opportunity of the times, China’s overseas Chinese affairs work has never stopped. Since 2014, the State Council Overseas Chinese Affairs Office has successively established 16 overseas Chinese business clusters and overseas Chinese innovation and entrepreneurship bases-"Overseas Chinese Dream Garden" in cooperation with local governments. Provide tailor-made comprehensive services for the special needs of overseas Chinese to invest and start businesses.

  In addition, national non-profit organizations such as China Overseas Chinese Merchants Investment Enterprise Association have built a bridge between overseas Chinese businessmen and government departments; Mechanism meetings such as "Hua Chuanghui", "Hua Expo" and "ASEAN Chinese Chamber of Commerce" have built a platform for docking negotiations and win-win cooperation between overseas Chinese businesses.

  Legally, the protection system for the rights and interests of overseas Chinese is improving day by day. In 1991, the Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Returned Overseas Chinese and Their Families came into force; In 1993, the Measures for the Implementation of the Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Returned Overseas Chinese in People’s Republic of China (PRC) was promulgated.

  In 2015, China’s first provincial local regulation on the protection of the rights and interests of overseas Chinese, Regulations on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Overseas Chinese in Guangdong Province, was promulgated. Fujian, Hubei, Shanghai, Zhejiang and other places subsequently promulgated regulations.

  At present, although there is no legislation on the protection of overseas Chinese rights and interests in China, the provisions concerning the protection of overseas Chinese rights and interests have been scattered in various laws and regulations with different levels and effects. It plays a substantial role in protecting overseas Chinese in many fields, such as identity identification, returning to China to settle down, medical education, social insurance and so on.

  Liu Guofu, a professor at Beijing Institute of Technology Law School, said that these beneficial explorations and accumulations will certainly promote the legislative process at the national level.

  Culturally, the spiritual nourishment of overseas Chinese is becoming more and more abundant. In order to enrich the cultural life of overseas Chinese, since 2009, the large-scale "Cultural China Four Seas in the Same Spring" has performed 450 performances in 332 cities in 160 countries around the world, with more than 7 million live audiences and hundreds of millions of online and TV viewers.

  In order to continue the cultural heritage of the new generation, in recent years, more than 300,000 Chinese teenagers from more than 110 countries and regions have participated in the "root-seeking tour in China", which has enhanced their sense of national identity and pride; More than 20 thousand overseas Chinese schools, with the care and help of overseas Chinese affairs departments, spread the seeds of Chinese culture all over the world; Higher overseas Chinese schools such as Jinan University and Huaqiao University frequently adopt policies to encourage overseas Chinese students to return to China for further study.

  In terms of people’s livelihood, it serves all aspects of overseas Chinese and warms their hearts. The data shows that at present, 2750 overseas Chinese affairs handling windows have been set up in the administrative affairs halls of governments at all levels in China, and 43,000 overseas Chinese affairs are handled annually; 2,174 overseas Chinese workstations "Overseas Chinese Homes" have been built, covering overseas Chinese communities in China. Special groups, such as overseas Chinese intellectuals, overseas Chinese machinists, and overseas Chinese returning from overseas Chinese farms, have received various forms of care and care.

  Facts have proved that the vast number of overseas Chinese and their relatives who have returned overseas Chinese are not only pioneers, participants and contributors to China’s reform and opening up, but also real beneficiaries. As an inseparable part of the Chinese nation, they share the happiness and glory brought by this great change. (End)

Exclusive investigation of foul smell, fish and shrimp death! The reporter of the general station traced the truth of pollution in Chuhe River.

  On may 23,A large number of dead fish and shrimp appeared in Pukou section of Chuhe River in Nanjing, a first-class tributary on the left bank of the lower Yangtze River.. These days, the salvage of dead fish in the Nanjing section of the Chuhe River is still going on, and the foul smell of the water body has not been completely dispersed.What happened behind this?Let’s look at the investigation of the reporters at the reception desk.

  01

  Fly swarms! It stinks!

  Dead fish in Nanjing section of Chuhe River are still being salvaged.

  On May 25th, the work of salvaging dead fish continued. Along the way, the river gave off a pungent smell, with swarms of flies and foul smell. The villagers responsible for salvage told reporters,In the past two days, dead fish have been turning over the water surface, and the river is full of black. "It’s still dark, and I dare not wash my hands."

  At noon on May 25, the reporter from the General Station went upstream along the Nanjing section of the Chuhe River and found that the work of salvaging dead fish along the coast continued.The river gave off a pungent smell along the way.Near Fuxing Culvert in Fuxing Wei, Yongning Street, Pukou District, Nanjing, the dead fish and mussels that have just been salvaged ashore are packed in more than a dozen white woven bags, with swarms of flies and foul smell.

  The reporter saw at the scene that several nearby villagers, with tools such as net bags in their hands, were fishing for dead fish upstream along the Chuhe River. In the river, two people drive boats to salvage floating objects.

  The villagers responsible for salvage told reporters that because the local maximum temperature exceeded 31℃ in these two days, dead fish kept turning over the water. Two days ago, the river was full of black, and it began to turn dark green on the 25th. The reporter saw near the Maozui Pumping Station in Chuhe River.Various impurities float in the river, and the black water body is still clearly visible.

  Reporter:When did this happen?

  Nearby villagers:It’s the 23rd.

  Reporter:What was the water like on the 23rd? Is there any smell?

  Nearby villagers:The water is black, not only black but also muddy. The pungent smell made us afraid to wash our hands.

  It is understood that the Chuhe River is located between Jianghuai and is a first-class tributary on the left bank of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It originated in Liangyuan Town, Feidong County, Hefei City, and entered the Yangtze River in Liuhe District, Nanjing. The total length of the main stream is 269 kilometers, and the basin area is 7829.9 square kilometers.

  Where does the foul-smelling water come from?

  On the evening of May 23rd, the Ecological Environment Branch of Quanjiao County, Chuzhou City issued a statement saying that after the water quality of the Chuhe River was polluted, the local branch sluice and Xianghekou sluice were closed to intercept sewage, and emergency treatment and water quality monitoring were carried out.The reporter verified in many ways that after the pollution incident, the local investigation team has not yet been established.Anhui and Jiangsu are strengthening communication.

  02

  Reason disclosure!

  The fire of hazardous chemicals caused pollutants to leak into the river.

  The reporter learned from the insider that the abnormal water quality of the Chuhe River was related to the leakage of pollutants into the Chuhe River due to the fire of crude methanol, a hazardous chemical in the warehouse of Anhui Chuzhou Fuxin Petroleum Additives Co., Ltd. on May 7.

  After continuous investigation for several days, the reporter learned from insiders that the water quality of the Chuhe River has been abnormal recently, which is related to the leakage of crude methanol fire pollutants from the warehouse of Anhui Chuzhou Fuxin Petroleum Additives Co., Ltd. into the Chuhe River.

  At 7 o’clock on the evening of May 25th, the reporter from the General Desk, according to the instructions of the insider, rushed to the location of Fuxin Petroleum Warehouse and the third-phase standardized factory building on the east side of Jinger Road in Quanjiao Economic Development Zone for investigation. There are 6 workshops here, covering an area of 42 mu, which were completed in 2012. The workshops are owned by Quanjiao Parkson Metal Technology Co., Ltd. and are now leased to four local enterprises. Workshop 2, where a fire broke out, has been partially dismantled. Environmental monitoring personnel are taking sewage samples at the scene. There are still many plastic buckets filled with unknown liquid in the warehouse on the side. The air is filled with the pungent smell of chemicals.

  The reporter found from the fire accident certificate issued by Quanjiao County Fire Rescue Brigade on May 24 that a fire broke out in the warehouse of Chuzhou Fuxin Additives Co., Ltd. at 7: 00 pm on May 7, and the Chuzhou Fire Rescue Detachment mobilized 30 fire engines and 140 fire rescuers for on-site disposal. The fire was extinguished at 0: 00 on May 8. After on-site investigation, the fire damaged the warehouse of Chuzhou Fuxin Petroleum Additives Co., Ltd., burned some goods and plastic barrels in the warehouse, and completely burned the tanker parked in the warehouse unloading crude methanol, with no casualties.

  Dou Ping, Director of Ecological Environment Branch of Quanjiao County, Chuzhou City:There are mainly two kinds of storage materials, one is glycerol, whose chemical name is glycerol, and the other is molasses, which is a sugar substance. But the real fire was caused by the improper operation of the stevedores, that is, drivers of dangerous goods, in the process of unloading crude methanol, which led to the fire.

  It is understood that the fire caused the destruction of No.2 factory building.A mixture of nearly 20 tons of crude methanol, a large amount of fire fighting foam, glycerin, molasses, etc.It flows into the flood discharge channel of the development zone through the side ditch next to the factory building, and enters the Chuhe River through the Garden Reservoir, Tuqiao Xihe River and Xianghe River. The reporter noticed that the trees near the scene of the incident turned yellow as a whole after being polluted, which was in sharp contrast with the surrounding green trees.

  The reporter from the General Station learned in the Ecological Environment Branch of Quanjiao County, Chuzhou City that,The reason for the large area of dead fish in Chuhe River is related to the fire of crude methanol in the warehouse of Chuzhou Fuxin Petroleum Additives Co., Ltd. on May 7, which caused pollutants to leak into Chuhe River.

  Dou Ping, Director of Ecological Environment Branch of Quanjiao County, Chuzhou City:According to our preliminary analysis and judgment, it is related to the fire of an enterprise in the development zone on May 7, which caused some material leakage in storage to be discharged into the water body with fire water and rainwater, which may be the main reason. It is also combined with the comprehensive formation of crayfish breeding tail water and concentrated backwater, as well as some weather reasons, such as high temperature and rain.

  03

  The staff at the gate reflected the abnormality of water body.

  The relevant departments think that "no problem" is not taken seriously.

  After the fire, the local eco-environmental department set up an earth dam in Huayuan Reservoir to block the polluted water. However, a heavy rain washed away the earth dam and the sewage entered the Garden Reservoir.

  On may 20, the river water in the upper reaches of the sluice has been polluted. In this regard, the water conservancy bureau’s response is "by experience" and "no problem", so that the pollution problems that have been discovered have not been paid due attention and treatment.

  After the fire broke out, the mixture of fire fighting foam, glycerin, molasses and crude methanol of hazardous chemicals flowed into the flood discharge channel of the development zone through the side ditch next to the factory building. The local eco-environmental department set up an earth dam more than ten meters long at Chuantang Road and Bridge in the upper reaches of Huayuan Reservoir, which is 3 kilometers away from the factory building, to block up the polluted water. At the same time, let enterprises assemble dozens of tank trucks from other places, extract thousands of tons of polluted water, box them or let enterprises transport them abroad for treatment.

  The reporter walked along the river from the Garden Reservoir, followed the trail, and came to the Xianghekou Gate of the Yangtze River Diversion Project in Sima Mountain, Anhui Province. It is adjacent to the intersection of Xianghe River and Chuhe River. The staff told the reporter that on May 20, the upstream river under the sluice had obviously changed color and was polluted.

  Wei Zhaohang, Deputy Director of Xianghekou Gate Management Office of Sima Mountain River Diversion Project in Anhui Province:The color is a little black, and the smell may be a little irritating.

  Reporter:When this happens, is the gate open?

  Wei Zhaohang, Deputy Director of Xianghekou Gate Management Office of Sima Mountain River Diversion Project in Anhui Province:In the closed state.

  Dai Jinsong, Chief of Water Administration Section, Sima Mountain Diversion Project Management Office, Anhui Province:After discovering that the water body was abnormal, he (Wei Zhaohang) gave me a call and sent two photos. The water quality at the sluice was very poor and there were dead fish.

  After reporting the abnormal situation of the water body to the management office of the Sima Mountain River Diversion Project, the staff of the Xianghekou Gate Management Office then rushed to the Hechang Office of Quanjiao County, but no one was seen. The staff reported the abnormal water body at the sluice to Yang Jun, a member of the party group of Quanjiao County Water Conservancy Bureau.

  Wei Zhaohang, Deputy Director of Xianghekou Gate Management Office of Sima Mountain River Diversion Project in Anhui Province:Secretary Dai Chuanhua and Director Fang Chun from our institute went to Quanjiao Water Conservancy Bureau to reflect this situation.

  Yang Jun, member of the Party Group of Quanjiao County Water Conservancy Bureau:On the 20th (Dai Chuanhua and Fang Chun), they asked me that the water in the Xianghekou sluice was a little black, and asked what the reason was. Honestly, I really don’t know.I can only rely on my experienceTell him that it may be just that shrimp (farming) changed water in May. Change the water in the shrimp field, and the water quality in the river is not good. In addition, a few days ago, the water level in the lower reaches of Xianghe River was relatively low, and it was also a waterway, in which boats were stirring. This happened in previous years. There should be no other situation, because I really don’t know what it is.

  According to the reporter’s investigation, on May 20th, the People’s Government of Quanjiao County issued a letter to Chuzhou Water Conservancy Bureau, which mentioned that "in order to effectively protect the domestic water consumption of urban residents in Chuzhou City and Quanjiao County and the water consumption for agricultural production along the Weihe River embankment", it was requested to "arrange the Sima Mountain Management Office to start up and lift water", and on May 22nd, the Xianghekou sluice was opened to release water.

  In this way, the "experience" and "no problem" of the relevant departments have made the pollution problems that have been discovered fail to get the attention and treatment they deserve.

  Yang Jun, member of the Party Group of Quanjiao County Water Conservancy Bureau:Give me another one. To tell you the truth, I will retire in two months. I shouldn’t ask these things too much.

  The reporter saw in the operation record book of the sluice management office of Xianghekou Gate in Sima Mountain River Diversion Project in Anhui Province that on the morning of May 18th, the sluice here had been completely closed. However, two days after the discovery of water pollution, at 10: 50 am on May 22, five holes in the seven-hole sluice of Xianghe Estuary were opened, and the sewage gathered in front of the sluice for two days entered the Chuhe River smoothly. This time, the water was released until 15: 50 on May 23, and the time was as long as 29 hours.

  Wei Zhaohang, Deputy Director of Xianghekou Gate Management Office of Sima Mountain River Diversion Project in Anhui Province:This time, the water body was still black and smelly.

  Huang Zhongfei, deputy director of Quanjiao County Water Resources Bureau:On May 23, it was said that there was public opinion, and it was found that there might be pollutants of unknown substances in the water body, causing the death of fish and shrimp. At that time, the Xianghe Gate was closed.

  Lobsters died in a large area around abnormal water bodies.

  Baixing hope water quality inspection

  Department reply: No need.

  This pollution incident not only caused a large number of fish and shrimp deaths in the Nanjing section of the Chuhe River, but also caused a large area of lobster deaths in Quanjiao, which brought huge losses to farmers. Some people reflected through Chuzhou 12345,The staff who claimed not to have participated in the problem solving became the "undertaker".

  People are very worried about whether the sewage is toxic, and expect the water quality test results of the ecological environment department to give a professional answer, but Quanjiao County Ecological Environment Branch replied:It’s not necessary.

  In the past few days, the reporter found in Jiangsu and Anhui that this pollution incident not only caused a large number of fish and shrimp deaths in the Nanjing section of the Chuhe River, but also caused a large area of lobster deaths in Quanjiao, which brought huge losses to farmers.

  On the afternoon of May 26th, in Wugang Town, Quanjiao County, a villager told the reporter that the crayfish raised at home had died these days. At present, the villager and neighbors are afraid to raise crayfish with river water.

  During the local visit, many villagers confirmed to reporters that river water pollution has had an impact on the local ecological environment and people’s lives. Among them, fish and shrimp death is the most obvious phenomenon.

  Reporter:Can there be a phenomenon of large-scale death?

  Villagers in Wugang Town, Quanjiao County:Yes, by the river.

  Reporter:When did the mass death occur?

  Villagers in Wugang Town, Quanjiao County:I’m afraid it was a few days ago, probably when there was polluted water.

  For the difficulties caused by environmental pollution around us, some people reflected through the 12345 hotline in Chuzhou City.

  The masses reported the problem through the hotline. Organizer: Did not participate in the handling.

  During the visit, the reporter found that Chuzhou 12345 complained to the common people and was posted on the Internet by netizens. The content showed:

  The 12345 hotline attached great importance to the problem that the water quality of Xianghe River in Laoguan Chencun Village, Xianghe Town, Quanjiao County was black and smelly, and immediately handed it over and urged the organizer to deal with it seriously. The feedback from Quanjiao County Government: The staff of the Environmental Protection Bureau visited the site recently, and the crayfish culture was concentrated on returning water to Xianghe River. In addition, the high temperature and no rainfall for a long time caused the water quality in some sections of Xianghe River to decline, and some of them were black and smelly, resulting in the death of fish and shrimp. No pollution sources such as enterprises and factories were found. Your report is true.

  On May 26th, the reporter came to Quanjiao County Ecological Environment Branch of Chuzhou City to understand the situation. However, Yang Renyi, director of the office of Quanjiao County Ecological Environment Branch, the specific organizer mentioned in the hotline platform’s reply to the masses, told reporters that,He has never received any complaints from the masses forwarded by the hotline.

  Reporter:Have you received any complaints about environmental protection from 12345, environmental hotline and 110 after the fire broke out?

  Yang Renyi, Director of the Office of Ecological Environment Branch of Quanjiao County, Chuzhou City:No.

  Reporter:But I saw a reply from Chuzhou 12345 about the problem that the water quality of Xianghe River in Laoguan Chencun, Xianghe Town, Quanjiao County was black and smelly, and the undertaker was Yang Renyi.

  Yang Renyi, Director of the Office of Ecological Environment Branch of Quanjiao County, Chuzhou City:I didn’t reply. I’m not sure about it yet.

  Reporter:Does that prove that this 12345 reply from Chuzhou is false?

  Yang Renyi, Director of the Office of Ecological Environment Branch of Quanjiao County, Chuzhou City:It may be because the government’s 12345 platform is all on the government side, and it should be a unified reply from the government side. I am not sure about this.

  Reporter:You just haven’t disposed of it?

  Yang Renyi, Director of the Office of Ecological Environment Branch of Quanjiao County, Chuzhou City:Right, no.

  Reporter:You are the organizer, that is, you have never participated in it from beginning to end?

  Yang Renyi, Director of the Office of Ecological Environment Branch of Quanjiao County, Chuzhou City:Never participated.

  How can a staff member who has not participated in problem solving become a "contractor"?The reporter further asked the Chuzhou municipal government for verification, but as of press time, he has not received a reply.

  The reporter also found in the investigation that,The people are very worried about whether it is toxic to the sewage flowing into the Chuhe River.It is also expected that the water quality test results of the ecological environment department can give professional answers. With a series of questions, the reporter came to Quanjiao County Ecological Environment Branch to ask and got such a reply.

  Dou Ping, Director of Ecological Environment Branch of Quanjiao County, Chuzhou City:I don’t see any laws and regulations that require toxicity analysis.

  Reporter:So you didn’t do it?

  Dou Ping, Director of Ecological Environment Branch of Quanjiao County, Chuzhou City:I really didn’t do it.

  Reporter:Then, if water enters the river, is it toxic, and our environmental protection department doesn’t know?

  Dou Ping, Director of Ecological Environment Branch of Quanjiao County, Chuzhou City:I don’t think it is necessary to do water for fire fighting.

  At present, relevant departments in Jiangsu and Anhui are stepping up communication and coordination of this pollution incident.The reporter of the General Station will also continue to pay attention to the latest progress of the incident.

  [car home Original Test Drive] Friends who are familiar with the domestic MPV market must be familiar with Lingzhi, which, together with Wuling Hongguang, occupies the forefront of the sales charts all the year round. Dongfeng popular Lingzhi car has entered the MPV market for 19 years, with more than 800,000 owners. Behind its strong mass base is its product positioning of pulling people to carry goods and being economical and easy to use. The long-life version of Lingzhi M5EV based on Lingzhi M5L is also a pragmatic school. It can meet the needs of cargo logistics and short-distance connection in cities with limited licenses and restrictions, and its low charging cost is also an advantage in cities without restrictions. Today, we will take a simple test drive to experience this model.

Home of the car

  Lingzhi M5EV launched a long-life model in April this year. According to the different needs of consumers, it provides 5/7/9-seat models to choose from. This time, we experienced a top-of-the-line model.Lingzhi M5EV Long Life Edition 7-seat Luxury Model(hereinafter referred to as Lingzhi M5EV Long Life Edition),The price before subsidy is 169,900 yuan, and the price after subsidy is 144,900 yuan.The car is equipped with a battery pack with a battery capacity of 70kWh, and the cruising range announced by the NEDC Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is 420km. However, considering various working conditions and driving habits, the cruising range announced by official website is 350km.

● Design: Plain and moderate.

  The overall design style of Lingzhi M5EV long-life version is simple and moderate, and it doesn’t use the closed front face that new energy vehicles especially like now, and some popular elements are not used too much. The front grille with horizontal stripes creates a wide front vision, and the rounded body proportion gives people a simple and honest impression.

  From the side of the car to the rear of the car, the car uses more straight lines to create a calm, simple and atmospheric business atmosphere. From the perspective of external configuration, the front and rear headlights all use halogen light sources, manual folding exterior rearview mirrors and manual side sliding doors, and the rear of the car has a reversing radar and a reversing camera. The overall configuration is biased towards practical types.

● Interior and space: The second row of rotating seats has bright spots.

  As far as interior materials are concerned, the performance of the car is average. Most of the top models with a subsidy of nearly 150,000 yuan are made of hard materials, which gives people a bad feeling in terms of vision and touch. If it is used as a business reception, it is not enough.

  The 8-inch touch screen controlled by the Lingzhi M5EV long-life version is a bright spot in the interior. The pure electric MPV model at this price is a configuration that keeps pace with the times. Functionally, it has basic equipment such as navigation, mobile phone interconnection, Bluetooth phone and reversing image. For car owners who often run around to pull people out to carry goods, these functions are all practical.

  The 7-seat model of the Lingzhi M5EV long-life version adopts the layout of 2+2+3, which has many bright spots in the riding space and loading capacity, and the potential consumers who buy such models are also concerned about these two aspects. Let’s focus on the experience of these two aspects for everyone.

  Except for the lowest model, the second-row seats of Lingzhi M5EV Long Life Edition all support forward and backward sliding, and the central armrests on both sides can also adjust the angle to provide more comfortable space for the second-row passengers. On the whole, Lingzhi M5EV Long Life Edition can be regarded as conscientious regardless of the performance of the second row or the third row. However, all the above performances belong to the general operation of MPV models. The second row seat of the top model of Lingzhi M5EV long-life version also supports 180-degree rotation, and you can turn on fishing, playing cards and other modes when traveling.

  If you measure this car by the standard of short-distance connection and family trip, its performance is also remarkable. The comfort configuration in the second row and the third row is more humanized, with ventilation windows, rear air outlets and water cup holders.

● Storage capacity and test drive experience: a good hand at pulling goods.

  After talking about the daily storage space, let’s talk about its cargo carrying capacity. In order to facilitate the needs of car owners to pull goods, the third row of seats of Lingzhi M5EV long-life version also supports side hanging. If the second row of seats are slid to the front position, there will be no small space in the car, so moving and pulling goods is not a problem. However, we also remind you that this kind of side-hanging seat may cause the problem of mixed loading of passengers and goods. Occasionally, it can be used in an emergency, and it should be used with caution in other cases.

  Lingzhi M5EV Long Life Edition is driven by rear drive, equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 90kW(122Ps) and a peak torque of 300N·m, and matched with the motor is a single-speed fixed speed ratio gearbox.

  Lingzhi M5EV Long Life Edition has a setting, that is, after starting the vehicle, the main driver’s seat can only move forward with a seat belt fastened. To tell the truth, in our daily life, we often see drivers of such cars not wearing seat belts when driving. With this setting, they can be reminded to wear seat belts when driving to some extent.

  The car has two driving modes. For daily use, ECO mode is enough. Although the dynamic response is not very positive at the beginning, you can feel a certain driving force when you step on the accelerator pedal deeply. Needless to say, the smoothness of the motor output, the continuous and stable power makes it unnecessary to spend too much effort on overtaking in general roads in urban areas.

  For a model like Lingzhi M5EV long-life version, it is obviously not suitable for radical driving style. The adjustment of the chassis is more inclined to carry goods, and the comfort is relatively weakened. The suspension is relatively tough, and the overall rebound is not timely when passing through the speed bump. Passengers pulling in the middle and rear rows will feel redundant vibration. The overall driving texture failed to have too many surprises, which basically met its positioning.

  The battery pack of this vehicle has a capacity of 70kWh, and the comprehensive battery life of NEDC is 420km. The battery pack has a preheating system to avoid damage to the battery pack during low-temperature charging, and to improve the endurance and battery life of the vehicle. The battery pack is laid flat on the bottom of the vehicle, with IP67 waterproof insulation, and has passed the 300mm wading test of the whole vehicle. For private users, the car provides a warranty of 8 years or 150,000 kilometers for the power battery pack to ensure the use of the car.

Full text summary:

  Lingzhi M5EV is an attempt made by Dongfeng in the field of electric MPV. Although it is improved on the basis of fuel version, it is not mature enough in many places, but one of its major advantages is that there are fewer models of this type on the market at present. For small business owners in cities with limited purchases and restrictions, such an unlimited, practical and low-cost model is perfect. The cruising range of 420km and its flexible second and third rows of internal space are also good partners for daily life and weekend leisure. If you need a practical car, and you don’t have high expectations for configuration and power driving, you can take a look at the Lingzhi M5EV long-life version.

According to the announcement issued by the State Administration of Market Supervision, the new version of the revised "General Rules for the Quality of Mooncakes" has been officially implemented, and the old version of the "Mooncakes" revised in 2015 has been abolished. At the publicity and implementation training meeting, experts from the Municipal Quality Inspection Center interpreted the new version of the General Rules for the Quality of Mooncakes and the standards for restricting the over-packaging of commodities requiring food and cosmetics. By comparing the new and old standards and giving examples, they explained the background, terminology definition, main content requirements, enterprise implementation standard rules and matters needing attention of the standards in detail, and answered questions raised by enterprises about label identification and mooncake naming.

Compared with the old and new editions, there are many new changes worthy of attention. According to experts from the Municipal Quality Inspection Center, the new version of the standard changes the name from "Moon Cake" to "General Rules for the Quality of Moon Cake", refines the specific categories of raw materials, deletes the word "main" in the main raw materials, standardizes the name format of edible oils and fats, and divides sugar into the main raw materials of cake crust, and clearly points out that moon cakes are cakes.

In addition, the new version of the standard changes the product classification into three categories: classification by processing technology, classification by local characteristics and other kinds of moon cakes, and deletes the hot processing category and cold processing category, and divides moon cakes into baking category, frying category, cooking category and cooked flour category, and cancels other categories under the cold processing category. According to the new standard, moon cakes are divided into 9 categories: Cantonese-style moon cakes, Beijing-style moon cakes, Soviet-style moon cakes, Chaozhou-style moon cakes, Yunnan-style moon cakes, Jin-style moon cakes, Qiong-style moon cakes, desktop moon cakes and Harbin-style moon cakes. The definition of the sub-classification of moon cakes with local characteristics has been deleted.

At the same time, the new version of the standard has added requirements for cake crust and stuffing, clearly stating that moon cake stuffing should not use wild protected animal ingredients such as shark’s fin, and should not use rare and precious ingredients such as bird’s nest. The new standard stipulates the types of cake crust and stuffing, and divides the cake crust into: syrup crust, crispy crust, mixed crispy crust, egg moon baked (cake) crust, crystal crust, ice crust, milk crispy crust, cream crust and peach mountain crust. The fillings are divided into: rongsha stuffing, nut stuffing, fruit and vegetable stuffing, egg yolk stuffing, meat and meat products stuffing, aquatic products and aquatic products stuffing, attention stuffing (soft-hearted stuffing), natural white stuffing, natural red stuffing, cloud leg stuffing and edible flower stuffing. In different fillings, the requirements for the addition amount of related raw materials are stipulated, and the naming of product names is required according to the addition amount of fillings.

In terms of inspection rules, the new version of the standard has also been revised. The ex-factory inspection items of the new standard include but are not limited to sensory requirements, moisture content, net content and stuffing content. Compared with the old standard, the mandatory inspection requirements for the total number of colonies and coliforms are deleted, and the new mandatory inspection item is moisture. The new version of the standard also deletes the seasonal production and perennial production type inspection, and changes it to the type inspection of products once a year. In addition, the new version of the standard clearly requires that if the factory inspection and type inspection are unqualified, double sampling and re-inspection can be carried out in the original batch of products.

The new version of the standard also adds the naming method of moon cake products, stipulating that the local pie moon cake should be clearly named in the local pie style and the characteristics of the cake crust or stuffing, and the product category can be built separately or reflected in the product name, such as Cantonese pure white lotus seed cake. Other moon cakes can be named with cake skin or stuffing, such as crystal skin pineapple moon cakes; Or choose to be named after the flavor characteristics of the product, such as espresso moon cakes.

The staff of the Municipal Market Supervision Bureau introduced that the "Restricting the Overpackaging of Commodities and Requiring Food and Cosmetics" explained at the training meeting was implemented last year, which put forward specific requirements for restricting the over-packaging of moon cakes. During the transition period of updating the old and new standards, according to the relevant documents, the service life of the old packaging materials for moon cakes can be extended to October 1 this year (subject to the production date).

After the transition period, the packaging of moon cakes should meet the new regulations, that is, the number of packaging layers should not exceed three; For moon cakes with a sales price above 100 yuan, the cost of all packages except those that are in direct contact with the contents shall not exceed 15% of the sales price of the products; Precious metals and mahogany materials should not be used; Not mixed with other products; The packaging void ratio meets the standard requirements.

The commander of the Israeli navy is of China descent and has achieved extraordinary things.

  


  Israel’s new naval commander, Eli Marom


  The "first" in the army


  At the end of October, Israel’s new naval commander, Aili Maroum, officially took office. Unlike his predecessor, as well as officers of all arms such as the Israeli navy, Ali has a distinctive China silhouette, and his face, skin color and hair are quite "China-like", so that he looks like a China at first glance. It turns out that Ellie is of China descent. It is the first time in Israeli history that a person of China descent holds such a high military post.


  On October 8th, Ali Maroum was officially appointed. On the same day, Israeli Defense Minister Barak, Israeli Chief of Staff Askin Naz and others held an appointment ceremony for him. Barak admired Ali and had high hopes, because he was interested in David, the former naval commander. Ben? Basat’s performance in the Israel-Lebanon war was "extremely dissatisfied", and he always wanted to "take off" the admiral who had worked for four years, but he was constrained by the relations between all parties and did not do it easily. This time, Barak finally made a decision. He patted Ali on the shoulder and said, "Work hard, make up for the losses caused before, and rebuild the elegance and glory of the Israeli navy." Askin Naz also encouraged Ali: "It’s up to you now!"


  "Alternative" makes extraordinary achievements.


  The 52-year-old Aili’s grandfather is a native of China, and her grandmother moved to China from Russia. Aili’s father fled from Germany to China in World War II, met Aili’s mother and got married. Seven years after the establishment of Israel, the couple returned to Israel to settle down, and Ali was born here.


  Because Ellie’s oriental characteristics are obvious, she has been called "Chinese" since she was a child. This nickname comes from the English word "Chinese" (from China). From the time he was sensible, Ali realized that his appearance was "different", but he didn’t resent being called "Chiney". Even when introducing himself to strangers, he took the initiative to say "My name is Chiney". According to Ali’s classmates, he was always at the top of his class and had a strong personality. After joining the army, Ali’s strong personality became more prominent, which made him get promoted continuously. One of Aili’s colleagues said: "The fact that he looks different forced Chiney to constantly show people that he is better, so that he quickly became one of the best."


  Through hard work, Ali became the commander of Haifa naval base in northern Israel from a little-known naval engineer, and became the deputy commander of the navy. In addition, he has served as the Israeli military representative of the United States-Israel Joint Staff and the Israeli military attache in the United States.


  Be questioned for no reason because of one’s ancestry


  After Ali was appointed as the commander of the navy, it caused great repercussions in Israel’s domestic public opinion and people. On the same day, the Israeli media reported the incident with headlines such as "Israel has an China as the commander of the navy" and "the new commander of the navy comes from China", which was quite confusing, and some netizens who didn’t understand the situation even gave a puzzled exclamation. Many public opinions have expressed enough confidence in Ali’s ability to reorganize and strengthen the Israeli navy, but some people have questioned his appointment as commander of the Israeli navy, and some even point out that he is a quarter of China origin.

  Little information: Israeli navy


  Due to the persistent tense military and political situation in the Middle East, Israel has always attached great importance to the navy and developed it as an independent service for many years. By the beginning of 2003, the Israeli navy had a total of 65,000 people and more than 70 ships including submarines, making it an important maritime force along the Mediterranean coast.


  Organization


  The highest officer of the Israeli navy is the commander of the navy. Through his headquarters (located in Haifa), he exercises daily leadership over the naval forces: he is responsible for the naval combat readiness, development, organization of combat training and material and technical support, and is directly under the leadership of the Chief of Staff of the Israeli Armed Forces. The headquarters consists of six departments: combat department, training department, reconnaissance department, cadre department, communication department and logistics department. The organizational structure of the navy also includes several headquarters, namely, the naval combat force command, the missile force command, the submarine force command, the patrol force command, the coast guard command, the naval base and the naval berth command. ·


  All the ships of the Israeli navy are organized into two clusters: the Mediterranean cluster and the Red Sea cluster. The submarine sub-fleet, the light frigate sub-fleet and the missile boat sub-fleet are the main naval fleet.


  By the beginning of 2003, the Israeli navy’s combat formation consisted of four sub-fleets of combat ships (one submarine sub-fleet, one light frigate sub-fleet and two missile boats sub-fleet), six combat boat detachments (five escort boats and one missile boat and escort boat detachment), one base patrol squadron, two helicopter battalions, two independent naval battalions (Marine Battalion and Destruction Reconnaissance Battalion) and 12 coastal battery companies. At present, there are three Israeli naval bases, namely Haifa base, Ashdod base and Eilat base. In addition, it has several berths, such as Aka, Art Park Jung Su and Ashkelon. Except Haifa base, other ground facilities are located in the Mediterranean Sea.


  Existing equipment


  According to the latest information, the Israeli navy currently has six conventional submarines of Dolphin and Gaelic class, three light frigates (Saar-5 class), 20 missile boats (Saar-4 class and Saar-4.5 class) and 33 escort boats (Dabbour class, Super Debora class and Sheldag class). As an underwater killer of the Israeli navy, the Dolphin class submarine is equipped with 533mm and 650mm anti-submarine torpedo tubes and UGM—84C Saber-Harpoon anti-ship missile. According to western military analysts, the boat is also equipped with cruise missiles developed by Israel itself.


  In addition, the naval air force is equipped with three base patrol aircraft and 41 combat helicopters. The coastal artillery has 24 shore guns and 60 anti-aircraft guns with a caliber of more than 20 mm.


  In the event of war, the number of sub-fleets and formations of the Israeli navy will not change at the beginning, but the number of warships and combat boats can be increased by 21 after 30 days and nights. With various mobilization measures, the total number of Israeli navy will reach 115,000.


  Personnel training


  Israeli naval officers are usually trained by the Naval School in Haifa, which is attended by active naval sergeants and those who have successfully graduated from the maritime school in Akka. The training period is two years, and graduates will be awarded the rank of lieutenant. About 50 officers graduate from this school every year.


  The Naval Training Center in Haifa is also a place to train command cadres and engineering and technical cadres for the navy, mainly to train junior technicians working on ships. In addition, graduates from the merchant marine school in Tyre-Avev and Ashdod can also be enlisted in the navy.


  The training of middle-level officers in command and command positions is usually carried out in their own command colleges and military academies in NATO countries.


  Its campaign tactical training is carried out according to the plan of the General Staff of the Israeli Armed Forces. The main purpose of training is to teach and improve the skills of organizing the coordinated action of various arms of the navy. One of its contents is the "Reliable Mermaid" exercise jointly conducted with the US and Turkish navies. The exercise is held regularly in the eastern Mediterranean, with the aim of constantly improving the coordinated actions of the three navies in the process of coordinated search and rescue operations. When organizing the training of staff officers, they widely use computer equipment, including equipment that can simulate the combat operations of all parties and equipment that can improve the training level of commanders with reduced military input.


  Future development


  Within the framework of the "Army-2010" package to re-equip the national armed forces, Israeli leaders paid special attention to the modernization of the navy. The improvement of naval forces is carried out from the following aspects: new surface ships and submarines are added to the navy, equipped with modern weapons and technical weapons, and the modernization of various ships is realized. According to this plan, Israel will build six "Super-Debora" class escort boats and two "Sheldag" class escort boats. Among them, the first boat was put into service in the second half of 2003. Moreover, Israel’s Ministry of National Defense plans to buy another seven similar escort boats.


  At the same time, the Israeli navy is negotiating with the American shipbuilding company "ingels" for the purchase of four light frigates. If the negotiations go smoothly, the first batch of ships will be installed as navy in 2007. According to the analysis of international military analysts, it is very likely that the Israeli navy will be equipped with cruise missiles with a flight distance of about 200 kilometers. The missile was developed by a subsidiary of the Israeli aviation industry giant Konzern.


  According to the estimation of international military analysts, the new naval plan will further improve the combat capability of the Israeli navy and consolidate its dominant position in the navies of Arab Muslim countries in the Near and Middle East.

Seven experts called for paying attention to supporting the development of rice oil industry and improving the self-sufficiency rate of edible oil in China

  Harbin, China Economic Net, July 6 (Reporter Wu Xuan) One of the reasons that have restricted the development of rice oil in China for many years is that rice bran is easy to rancidity and difficult to preserve. Now this technical bottleneck has made a new breakthrough. Yihai Kerry, the parent company of Arowana, has created a brand-new rice oil production model of decentralized preservation, centralized collection and centralized refining. "The remaining problem now is to study the policies and measures to support the development of rice bran oil industry." Wang Ruiyuan, chief expert of China Cereals and Oils Association and president of the Oil Branch of China Cereals and Oils Association, called on the "Seminar on the Integrated Development of Rice Circular Economy Industry Chain and Rice Oil Industry" held in Harbin on July 6, hoping that the state would pay more attention to the rice oil industry and give support in policies, funds and taxes, so as to accelerate the development of rice oil industry and improve the self-sufficiency rate of edible oil in China. Experts attending the meeting actively put forward suggestions and suggestions on exploring a new model of rice circular economy industrial chain, strengthening the implementation of China’s rice oil series standards, and improving rice oil production technology.

  Rice oil, with its balanced nutritional proportion, has the reputation of "golden rice" and is a healthy edible oil recommended by the World Health Organization. In Japan, a big rice producer, the utilization rate of rice bran is nearly 100%. Rice oil has become the designated oil for nutritious lunches of primary and secondary school students in Japan. The production of rice oil in China began in the 1950s, and in the 1970s and 1980s, the work of increasing oil production, represented by the promotion of rice bran and corn germ oil extraction, was carried out nationwide, with remarkable results. However, due to various reasons, the utilization rate of rice bran in China is less than 20%. Most rice bran is used as feed, or even discarded as waste, which is a sad waste of resources. The data shows that the self-sufficiency rate of edible oil in China in 2015-2016 was 32.3%.

  Experts believe that as the largest country in rice production and consumption, the nutritional value and resource benefit of rice bran by-products in China have not been fully exerted. If the rice bran, a by-product of rice with an annual output of 200 million tons in China, is used to extract oil, it is equivalent to about 13 million tons of soybean oil, which is equivalent to saving 110 million mu of soybean cultivated land for the country, which will greatly improve the self-sufficiency rate of edible oil in China. Developing rice oil industry is one of the effective ways to improve the self-sufficiency rate of edible oil in China without competing with fertile land. Experts attending the meeting said that actively developing rice oil industry in China is a necessary move for the supply-side structural reform of edible oil processing industry.

  At present, there are three main reasons that restrict the development of rice oil in China: first, the rice processing enterprises in China are small and scattered, and it is difficult to concentrate rice bran; Second, rice bran is prone to rancidity and deterioration, and the preservation technology is not easy to solve; Third, the policies and measures to support the development of rice oil industry are not strong enough.

  At present, the technical bottleneck has been broken. According to reports, Yihai Kerry, the parent company of Arowana, has created a brand-new production mode of rice oil with decentralized preservation, centralized extraction and centralized refining. It has used a series of advanced production technologies such as 6-hour expansion preservation, low-temperature extraction and internationally advanced green enzymatic degumming, so that natural cereal active nutrients such as oryzanol, vitamins and sterols can be retained to the greatest extent.

  Rice bran oil production is an important link of rice circular economy in Yihai Kerry. Since entering the field of rice processing in 2006, Yihai Kerry has started to research and develop a new model of comprehensive utilization of rice. In the past ten years, the accumulated investment has reached several billion yuan, and gradually built a new circular industry model of "order planting-intensive processing-product brand-name-making-comprehensive utilization of by-products-high-tech product research and development". Through the order base, the purity of rice varieties and the quality of arowana rice are guaranteed; At the same time, independently research and develop rice bran preservation technology to improve the yield and quality of arowana rice oil. Fatty acids, rice bran wax, rice bran fat, oryzanol, ferulic acid and other high value-added products extracted from rice bran oil by-products and rice bran meal are widely used in food special oils, grease chemicals, cosmetics and other industries; At the same time, rice husk combustion was realized to generate electricity, and activated carbon and white carbon were prepared from rice husk ash. At present, the rice husk silica produced by Yihai Kerry has achieved cross-industry cooperation with tire production giants and is being popularized and applied worldwide.

  Yihai Kerry’s rice circular economy model has truly realized the transformation from the traditional extensive rice processing model to the "eat dry and squeeze clean" processing model with intensive processing and high-efficiency and energy-saving utilization of by-products, which has increased farmers’ rice planting income and increased the added value of rice products, and realized the integration of order agriculture, intensive processing of agricultural products, brand product sales and service. Nowadays, the utilization rate of rice bran in Yihai Kerry rice circular economy model reaches 60-70%, which is much higher than the average ratio of rice bran utilization rate of less than 20% in the whole industry.

  Jiang Yuanrong, a researcher at Fengyi (Shanghai) Biotechnology R&D Center Co., Ltd., said that this model can fully develop and utilize the economic value of rice. If it can be replicated and promoted throughout the country, its economic and social benefits will be considerable.

  In April 2017, Yihai (Jiamusi) Cereals and Oils Industry Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Yihai Kerry, was officially approved by the National Development and Reform Commission as the "National Pilot Unit for Standardization of Rice Processing Circular Economy", which is the only pilot enterprise in the rice processing industry in China, marking that this global leading rice circular economy model has been incorporated into the national green development plan. "Perfecting and popularizing it will be beneficial to the sustainable development of rice processing and rice oil industry in China." Zhang Guifeng, chairman of China Cereals and Oils Society, fully affirmed Yihai Kerry’s active exploration and practice in the industrial chain mode of rice circular economy.

  On October 25th, 2016, at the 3rd ICRBO- International Rice Oil Conference held in Tokyo, Japan, Arowana rice oil from China won unanimous praise from oil experts from China, Japan, India, Thailand and Vietnam, and won the only "International Rice Oil Quality Award" selected by the Conference. The award indicates that China’s independently innovated rice oil production technology has completely surpassed Japanese and advanced the international level.

  The 13th Five-Year Development Plan of Grain and Oil Processing Industry formulated by the State Grain Administration proposes to "actively develop rice bran oil", and to "achieve the utilization rate of by-products such as rice bran above 50%" by 2020, and cultivate a number of leading enterprises in the integration of grain and oil processing industry. At this stage, increasing policy support has become a booster to accelerate the integration and development of rice, oil and three industries in China.

  The meeting was jointly sponsored by the Oil Branch of China Cereals and Oils Association, the Technical Committee of Oils and Oils of National Cereals and Oils Standardization Technical Committee, and undertaken by Fengyi (Shanghai) Biotechnology R&D Center Co., Ltd. The meeting aims to further promote the development of China’s rice oil industry and deepen the transformation and upgrading of China’s grain processing industry. 

Regenerative Medicine Breakthrough China Scientists Induce Human totipotent Stem Cells.

  Recently, researchers from China Academy of Sciences, Shenzhen Huada Institute of Life Sciences and other institutions have cultivated human pluripotent stem cells in a state similar to that of fertilized eggs developing for three days through somatic cell induction. This is the "youngest" human cell cultured in vitro in the world at present, and it is another subversive breakthrough in the field of regenerative medicine after scientists successfully induced human pluripotent stem cells. Related research results were published in the international academic journal Nature in the early morning of March 22nd, Beijing time.

  It is understood that researchers have developed a non-transgenic, fast and controllable "cocktail" cell reprogramming method, which can transform human pluripotent stem cells into totipotent 8-cell embryonic-like cells, that is, totipotent stem cells equivalent to the three-day development of fertilized eggs. This achievement will help to realize the in vitro regeneration of human organs in the future, and it is of great significance to solve the problems of organ shortage, allograft and xenotransplantation rejection.

  In 2012, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to shinya yamanaka, a Japanese scientist who successfully induced mature somatic cells into pluripotent stem cells in blastocyst stage. The cells in human blastocyst stage are fertilized eggs developing 5-mdash; In the state of 6 days, its ability to further develop is limited.

  However, this study has made a big step forward in this field, and for the first time, embryonic cells with fertilized eggs divided for only 3 days were obtained. In the early stage of fertilized egg development, great changes have taken place every day, and it is these 2-mdash; In 3 days, scientists obtained human 8-cell embryonic-like totipotent stem cells through in vitro induction for the first time. This is the "youngest" human cell induced in vitro so far, and it has very strong development potential. This study will also help to unlock the key to the early development of human embryos.

  According to reports, these totipotent 8-cell embryonic-like cells reconstructed the embryonic state of fertilized eggs after only three times of division. Compared with pluripotent stem cells in the past, these cells can differentiate into placental tissues and may develop into more mature body tissues.

  "This progress is also a model of the combination of regenerative medicine and single cell sequencing technology." Dr. Liu Longqi from Shenzhen Huada Institute of Life Sciences, one of the authors of the paper, said, "The efficient identification and mechanism analysis of cells or tissues obtained by stem cell technology in vitro or in vivo will greatly accelerate the development of regenerative medicine."

  This is the first time that researchers have "transformed" human pluripotent stem cells into pluripotent embryonic cells in a real sense, so that people can reverse the "adult" version of cells into "infant" versions with more possibilities. At the same time, because the totipotent cells obtained this time are closer to the original state of early embryos, if they are used in regenerative medicine, the cultivated organs will be closer to the state of real organs, which is more conducive to transplantation.

  This breakthrough is due to the progress of single cell sequencing technology. In the past, researchers may have to process and culture thousands of cells, and the probability of success is less than 10%. Nowadays, based on the single-cell library sequencing platform (DNBelab C4) independently developed by Huada University, combined with the DNBSEQ sequencing technology created by Huada Zhizhi, scientists can conduct multidimensional single-cell analysis with high sensitivity and accuracy, quickly obtain cells with important development potential, and study the development direction of these cells.

  In this study, the research team also classified the induced pluripotent stem cells and injected them into mice for further development, and then used the single cell sequencing technology of Huada to conduct large-scale cell map analysis. Finally, the researchers confirmed that the experimental totipotent stem cells were highly similar to human 8-cell embryonic cells, which proved the totipotency of the cells. This provides a scientific basis for organ culture using patients’ own cells in the future and for organ transplantation and replacement.

  The research was led by China Academy of Sciences and Shenzhen Huada Institute of Life Sciences, with the participation of several research teams including Cambridge University, Jilin University and rajshahi University. This study has passed the ethical review and strictly followed the corresponding laws and regulations and ethical standards.
