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.

Rare albino shrike found in Shaanxi

  Shaanxi Daily News (Reporter Shi Nian correspondent Song Qiangqiang) On August 19, the reporter learned from Shaanxi Hualong Mountain National Nature Reserve Administration that recently, the staff of the bureau found two albinos in the broad-leaved forest in Longshan Village, Baxian Town, Pingli County at the foot of Hualong Mountain. Albino wild birds are very rare, and it is even more rare to see two albinos at a time.

  After a period of observation, the staff of Shaanxi Hualong Mountain National Nature Reserve Administration found that an adult gray-backed shrike was still active near the activity areas of two albino shrikes, and urged the two albino shrikes to feed from time to time. Therefore, it is speculated that these two albino shrikes were developed from this young bird of the gray-backed shrike. Gray-backed shrike is a bird of shrike, which is dark gray from the top to the back; Eye mask black; The wings and tail are dark brown with light brown wing spots; The lower body is nearly white, and the sides and waist are reddish brown; Iris black; Beak gray-black; Black feet. It mainly inhabits broad-leaved forest, mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest and surrounding areas at medium and high altitude, and mainly feeds on insects.

  These two albino shrikes have white feathers, pink eyes and light yellow feet and beaks. Albinism is usually caused by gene mutation, usually recessive inheritance. The discovery of albinism in wild birds provides good materials for exploring the causes of albinism and studying the mechanism of albinism.

Pollution control according to law, protecting ecological environment with the power of rule of law —— Fourth, actively serving and implementing the task of "six guarantees" and resolutely winning the

  Legal system is an important weapon to promote ecological environmental protection, and law enforcement supervision is an important means to win the battle against pollution. Facing the new situation of normalization of epidemic prevention and control, the ecological environment department should firmly establish the thinking of rule of law, adhere to administration, governance and protection according to law, and protect the ecological environment with the power of rule of law.

  The quality of China’s ecological environment has obviously improved. One of the important reasons is that the legal system of ecological environment is getting stricter and stricter, the law enforcement and supervision are getting stronger and stronger, and there are more and more means to punish environmental violations. The legal means such as seizure, daily penalty, crime imprisonment and damage compensation have become the swords hanging over the heads of offenders. The rigid constraint of the law made the offenders pay a high price, which played a great deterrent and preventive role.

  At present, China has basically formed a system of eco-environmental laws and regulations led by environmental protection law. However, with the deepening of ecological civilization construction and the continuous improvement of eco-environmental protection requirements, environmental problems in some fields need to be controlled and solved by new legal systems, and their legislative gaps need to be filled urgently. There are still some previously enacted laws that are difficult to adapt to the new situation and new tasks and need to be revised in time. We should actively promote the formulation and revision of laws in the fields of Yangtze River protection, marine environmental protection, environmental impact assessment and biosafety, as well as administrative regulations in the fields of pollutant discharge permit and ecological environment monitoring. At the same time, we should summarize and refine the good experiences and practices accumulated in the tough battle of pollution prevention and control in time, upgrade them into systems, turn them into laws, and further establish and improve the legal system of ecological environment.

  In recent years, local ecological and environmental departments have further intensified the "streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services" reform, especially this year, in order to better support the economic and social development, the "two positive lists" system has been launched. We should not only help enterprises solve practical difficulties, but also strengthen law enforcement and supervision. It is necessary to continue to organize the central eco-environmental protection inspectors, promote the implementation of "the party and government have the same responsibility, one post and two responsibilities" in all localities, and solve a number of outstanding ecological and environmental problems; It is necessary to continue to strengthen supervision and fixed-point assistance, guide and help and urge key areas to solidly promote the comprehensive air pollution control plan in autumn and winter; For cities with outstanding ozone pollution, carry out special supervision and assistance for key industries of VOCs emission; Organize accurate supervision and assistance to key cities outside the region that have difficulties in achieving air quality improvement goals. On the platform of overall planning and strengthening supervision, we will integrate on-site inspections of key tasks of pollution prevention and control such as remediation of drinking water sources, further reduce the scale and time, and reduce the burden on grassroots.

  If the law is not strictly enforced, it is a paper tiger. Law enforcement teams should practice their internal strength, constantly enhance their law enforcement capabilities and improve their law enforcement efficiency. Comprehensive use of daily continuous punishment and other means to strengthen the connection between ecological environment administrative law enforcement and criminal justice, strengthen the coordination and cooperation between law enforcement and monitoring departments, and severely crack down on ecological environment illegal and criminal acts that are strongly reflected by the masses and are subjective and malicious. Optimize law enforcement methods, further promote the "double random and open" supervision, and enhance the scientific, fair and effective supervision. It is necessary to strengthen the deep integration of law enforcement, key supervision and credit supervision, implement classified supervision of enterprises, and reasonably set the proportion and frequency of spot checks. Strengthen the automatic monitoring and management of key pollutant discharge units, give play to the "clairvoyance" function of hot grid, vigorously promote the use of intelligent means, and promote off-site supervision to improve the efficiency of law enforcement. It is necessary to improve the working mechanism of letters and visits, implement the reward reporting system, regard letters and visits as a "gold mine" for finding clues about ecological and environmental problems, and promote the solution of outstanding ecological and environmental problems around the masses.

  As a law enforcement department, the ecological environment department should adhere to the law and regulations and enhance the legitimacy of pollution prevention and control measures. Standardize law enforcement behavior in accordance with the Guiding Catalogue of Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Matters of Ecological Environmental Protection, further standardize discretion and put an end to arbitrary punishment and arbitrary law enforcement. For the rectification of ecological and environmental problems, we must resolutely prohibit "one size fits all" behavior, and put an end to simple and rude practices such as emergency shutdown and suspension of production, "all shutdown" and "stop first". Through strict law enforcement and supervision, it is necessary to urge enterprises to run pollution control facilities well, implement standards in place, guide enterprises to consciously abide by the law, establish a law-abiding incentive mechanism, and promote the sound development of ecological environmental protection.

Good film about | "Pavarotti": a record of the king of songs in the film.

He is the Italian tenor — — Luciano Pavarotti.This week, ""will broadcast a documentary film of the same name recording his life.



Luciano Pavarotti

How did you become the king of the century?


In 1935, Luciano Pavarotti was born in the northern Italian city of Modena. In fact, before he became a singer, he was a primary school teacher and lived in poverty. In his spare time, he needed to sell insurance to supplement his family. But he inherited his father’s good voice, and both father and son joined the local choir.


Little Pavarotti and his parents.


At the age of twenty, Pavarotti’s choir won the championship in an international vocal competition. This gave him the idea of taking the road of professional singing. However, his father disagreed. According to my father’s own experience, even with the sound of nature, it is not easy to achieve success in the tenor field.


But his mother encouraged him to try bravely: "My son’s singing is very pleasant." So with the support of his mother, Pavarotti practiced his singing skills for six and a half years, and finally got the opportunity to play Rudolph, the leading actor in the famous opera Bohemian.


The third from the right is Pavarotti.

Affinity with China


Pavarotti has performed in China for four times, and his complex with China lasted for twenty years.


In 1986, Pavarotti came to China for the first time and performed his famous work Bohemian in Beijing Tianqiao Theater. At the same time, a solo concert was held in the Great Hall of the People, which made him the first western musician to perform in the Great Hall of the People.

In 2005, Pavarotti visited China for the fourth time and held two farewell tours around the world in Beijing and Shanghai. Although due to physical reasons, he can only sit and finish the performance, but he still shows the elegance of a master.

In 2019, on the 12th anniversary of Pavarotti’s death, a documentary film of the same name, Pavarotti, came out, which outlined the life of a singer full of love and hope.


In November, 2020, national centre for the performing arts showed the film for the first time, and the audience interested in Pavarotti gathered together to witness this historic screening.

Let Classics Rejuvenate in Fashion.


In the early 1990s, Pavarotti had become one of the richest singers in the entertainment industry, but he never forgot the embarrassing life of his childhood. Since 1993, every summer, he will hold a charity concert called "Pavarotti and His Friends" in his hometown of Modena, Italy, with his friends, and give his modest contribution to the displaced refugees, children and other people in need around the world.

Ricky Martin and celine dion were both guests at the charity concert. It was an era when pop music occupied the mainstream market, and Pavarotti, as a representative of classical music, became one of the most influential figures of that era. He brought bel canto, which has been confined to the classical music hall for hundreds of years, to the public by extremely relaxed entertainment, and injected new life into classical music.

And Pavarotti


The documentary film Pavarotti was directed by Ron Howard, a director who is very good at making biographies. In 2001, he won the Best Director Award at the 74th Academy Awards for his biopic. In addition, the film he directed was adapted from Nixon’s interview with host Foster. The film he directed is based on the true story of two F1 racers competing with each other in the 1970s.

In 2016, when Ron Howard directed the documentary film Eight Days a Week: The Beatles’ Tour Era, he became interested in music. At the suggestion of the producer, he decided to try to direct a film about Pavarotti.


Because in his view, although many people love opera and know who Pavarotti is, they don’t know him.


Director Ron Howard once said: "The Beatles’ documentaries let more people know the true side of the Beatles and give everyone a chance to understand and respect them. Pavarotti’s documentaries are also directed to do the same thing."

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.

"If the merchant refuses to issue invoices, consumers can provide clues to the tax authorities, which will order them to make corrections and impose a fine of less than 10,000 yuan. If there is illegal income, it will be confiscated." On March 12th, Zhongxian County Taxation Bureau organized a youth propaganda team of "Zhongba Car" to enter the local wanda plaza, and distributed "Invoice Use Risk Tips" to more than 100 settled businesses, informing them that when they collect money from business, they should issue invoices to consumers truthfully in time, and the legal consequences that enterprises will bear if they refuse to open or falsely issue invoices, so as to answer specific problems encountered by businesses in invoicing.

"We are still in the early stage of our business, and we don’t know much about taxation. Taxpayers come to the door to coach and invoice, reminding us of risks, which makes us more aware." Wang Yang, head of the Frodora children’s wear store in wanda plaza, Zhongxian County, said.

In the past few days, Chongqing tax authorities have focused on various small and medium-sized micro-business entities in the consumer market, organized personnel to explain the use norms and risk points of invoices, and provided one-on-one guidance on invoicing operations to guide them to operate in good faith according to law. For the vast number of consumers, through the distribution of brochures, broadcast promotional videos and other means, help consumers understand the tax knowledge closely related to their own rights and interests, encourage citizens to obtain invoices according to law, and actively resist fake invoices.

"Log in to the national VAT invoice inspection platform in State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China and enter the invoice information to check the authenticity of the invoice in your hand." On March 15th, Yunyang County Taxation Bureau and the local market supervision bureau launched a consumer rights day publicity campaign. At the scene, tax officials explained to the public the way to check the authenticity of invoices, and sent hot question-and-answer manuals such as "No invoices for discounts", "No invoices for group purchase packages" and "No invoices for cross-month".

Chongqing tax authorities reminded that the current laws, regulations and related policies do not clearly stipulate the time limit for invoicing. The stipulations of merchants, such as not being able to issue invoices across months, are only unilateral acts and have no legal basis. Invoicing has nothing to do with whether it is discounted or not. Discounting is only a way for merchants to promote sales. Regardless of whether consumers buy goods at regular prices or consume discounted goods, as long as there is business behavior, sellers should issue invoices according to law.

On March 13th, the tax bureau of Wulong District organized eight staff members to distribute self-made comic brochures such as "Asking for invoices from merchants has these benefits" and "Guide to Consumer Invoicing" in the city square. "The merchant said that the service provided is not within the business scope of the business license and the ticket cannot be opened. Is it true?" In response to questions from the public, tax officials in Wulong District said that taxpayers should invoice according to the facts, even if they are beyond the business scope of the business license, except that the state has ordered them to ban sales and have industry access qualifications.

In the series of consumer rights day publicity activities, Chongqing tax authorities also set up a report account according to the reports and complaints of alleged infringement reflected by the people on the spot, and took corresponding measures to deal with, solve and feedback within a limited time to fully safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.

On the morning of March 15th, at the publicity activity of consumer rights protection held in Jinjie Square, West City, Baishiyi, Hi-tech Zone, the Taxation Bureau of Hi-tech Zone set up a reporting desk for tax violations. Ms. Zhang, a citizen, said, "Last week, I went to eat hot pot with my friends, and the store owner said that the checkout was discounted and I couldn’t issue an invoice."

"You tell me the consumption record, business information and contact information, and we will feedback the processing results to you as soon as possible after investigation and verification." The tax personnel recorded the report information reflected by Ms. Zhang on the spot and contacted the staff to handle the feedback in time.

According to the relevant person in charge of Chongqing Taxation Bureau, invoice disputes account for a large proportion in daily tax-related reporting cases. As long as there is consumption behavior, consumers have the right to ask the payee to issue invoices, regardless of the amount and method of consumption. The payee’s refusal to issue invoices or false invoices for any reason violates the Measures for the Administration of Invoices in People’s Republic of China (PRC).

If consumers encounter merchants who refuse to issue invoices for any reason or have doubts about the invoices they have received, they can call the 12366 tax payment service hotline or log on to the official website of Chongqing Taxation Bureau, and click "Report on Tax Violations" in the "Interactive Communication" column to report online.
