The cruelest human body modification experiment in American history: twin babies were forced to change sex.

Speaking of transsexual surgery, it is no stranger to contemporary people.

With the development of science and technology and the improvement of human self-awareness, more and more transgender people use transsexual surgery to eliminate their physical and psychological pain caused by gender cognitive differences.

With the help of this kind of medical means, many of them have changed their growing experience of being misunderstood and discriminated against.

As the most recognized transgender in China,

Venus said: "I belong to the human part!

Gender is only my free choice. "

However, when transsexual surgery is not voluntary, will it bring the same result?

A warm and ordinary twin family, because of an accident, one of the boys was forced to undergo sexual organ transformation and become a girl when he was only 22 months old.

As a result, this "involuntary transsexual experiment" led by Dr. Harvard completely changed the fate of this family, leaving the two children in this family in a tangled gender cognition for the rest of their lives, and eventually they were broken and withered due to depression and mental breakdown. …

Horrible involuntary transsexual experiment

The story begins with a pair of Canadian twins, one named Bruce and the other named Brian, who were born on August 22nd, 1965.

Mothers and healthy twins

When they were just over half a year old, it was found that the foreskin was too long, which made it difficult to urinate, so the mother took her two babies to the hospital for circumcision.

Unfortunately, the medical technology was not developed at that time, and an accident happened in the middle of the operation. My brother Bruce’s genitals were burned completely by the electrocautery needle used in the operation.

Even now, reconstructing the lost male genitalia is still a high-risk operation for the newborn baby, so the doctor admits that Bruce’s injury is irreparable.

Mother is very sad and can only seek medical advice everywhere, hoping to save her children. Just when the husband and wife were on the verge of despair, they found Dr. john manny from the famous Johns Hopkins University in the United States.

John William Money,

This expert who focuses on research and psychology is often active in major TV programs, so he is quite famous. In the face of the help of the two couples, the doctor vowed that as long as the husband and wife are willing to help, he may help Bruce harvest a healthy life.

In john manny’s research field, he highly praised the "gender neutrality theory", believing that children have no concept of gender when they are born, and all their knowledge of gender comes from acquired education and environment. If children are "gender redistributed" when they are very young, and they are trained and educated, then they can get rid of their previous gender orientation.

In order to prove his theory, john manny did everything he could. At first, he tried to do a controlled experiment with bisexual people, and in order to get data to support his theory, he did not hesitate to falsify the experimental data.

However, people don’t pay for his experimental results, because bisexual people are vague about their own gender cognition, and with the influence of the day after tomorrow, it is indeed possible to have a bias towards a certain gender, so it is not universal.

The picture comes from Google.

Although john manny was frustrated by the result, he was helpless. Until he met the desperate Bruce couple.

Two same-sex twin babies, one maintaining the original sex and the other undergoing sex-change surgery, can form a perfect control group, and can also exclude the influence of some external uncertain factors, such as family factors and uterine environment. For john manny, this is simply a "godsend".

He quickly found the Bruce couple and persuaded them to let their two children participate in the experiment. He said that as long as he rebuilt his vagina, transformed Bruce into a girl and instilled the concept that he was a girl from an early age, he could become a woman!

This seems ridiculous now, but it has become the only lifeline for desperate parents. In order to make Bruce have a healthy and complete childhood, they accepted the doctor’s advice.

At this time, Bruce, who was only 22 months old, had sex replacement surgery, removed his testicles, changed from "he" to "she" and had a new name Brenda.

The picture comes from the Daily Mail.

After the transsexual operation, john manny injected Brenda with estrogen regularly.

At first, Brenda looked just like an ordinary girl, and her parents always took care of him as a "little girl" and instilled the idea that "you are a girl" in Brenda.

In this process, in order to stimulate Brenda’s female cognition, john manny adopted a series of operations that can be called "abnormal", such as showing Brenda naked photos of herself and her brother Brian, showing the completely different reproductive organs of men and women; Browse photos of women giving birth to baby girls and so on.

The picture comes from the Daily Mail.

In this way, until he was nine years old, john manny couldn’t wait to publish an article announcing that his experiment had been successful. However, he concealed the process of the experiment, and he didn’t mention anything about the adverse effects of the experiment and the psychological trauma caused to the two children.

After the article was published, it was supported and embraced by many people. Everyone went to Brenda’s home to interview, investigate and study, and the family’s life was forced to be placed in the attention of everyone.

Pictures come from the Internet.

Although everyone thinks Brenda is a girl, he has obvious "masculinity" from beginning to end. He likes to play with boys, solve problems by force, and prefer toys to dolls.

Moreover, since kindergarten, he has been mischievous and is the "king of problems" in the class. These personality characteristics show that Brenda is still a "boy" at heart, although her appearance has changed.

Pictures come from the Internet.

Because the original operation was not complete, with the growth of age, Brenda inevitably appeared some male characteristics, such as Adam’s apple and obvious muscles. The students around him gradually felt that he was different and crowded him out.

Brenda spent a long, lonely and self-abased youth in deep self-doubt.

Pictures come from the Internet.

After entering adolescence, Manny asked Brenda to have another artificial vagina operation, but Brenda had serious doubts about her gender cognition at this moment, so she was very resistant and unwilling to undergo the operation.

In the repeated struggle and self-doubt, the poor child suffered from severe depression and once tried to commit suicide. He didn’t know whether he was "him" or "her". Why are you so different from others? I don’t understand why everyone is asking him to be a "gentle and lovely" ordinary girl.

Watching his son fall into the dilemma of self-awareness and lose his happy smile bit by bit, his parents decided to stop the experiment and not force Brenda to inject estrogen or undergo sex modification surgery, and told Brenda the secret that had been hidden for 13 years.

He felt more relieved after being shocked, because his uniqueness finally found the answer.

Pictures come from the Internet.

Brenda gradually became cheerful and began to accept her identity as a "male". At the age of 16, he underwent penile reconstruction, changed his name to David Reimer.

At the age of 23, he got married and became the stepfather of three children.

However, after learning what happened to my brother, my brother Brian felt very unacceptable and his relationship with his brother deteriorated.

Growing up, he felt that Brenda had taken away all the attention from his parents and the outside world, which made him irritable. Later, he left this world sadly because he took too many antidepressants.

Pictures come from the Internet.

David didn’t finish his studies when he was a child, and his life was not smooth when he grew up. Later, he was cheated of money and was devastated. Looking at his broken family and his declining family, he chose to commit suicide.

At the age of 38, he shot himself. The bullet went through the temple, tore the brain stem fiercely and quickly, and took away his life. This devastated boy died in his car.

The distance between science and human nature

In fact, in history, so-called "scientists" like Manny who carried out terrorist experiments on human bodies under the guise of science abound, and they all brought serious psychological and physical trauma to the experimenters without exception.

The blind worship of science blurs the boundary between basic ethics and human nature.

Paul Feyerabend, an American philosopher of science, said in his book Against Methods: An Outline of Anarchism: "Science is conspicuous, grandstanding and rude. Only those who have decided to support a certain ideology, or those who have accepted science but have never examined its superiority and boundaries, will think that science is inherently superior."

The elite said that they had written the story of ——John B. Watson, an American behaviorist (click on the link: the parenting law that was once popular in the United States spread in China, and the experimental baby was devastated physically and mentally. Maybe your child is being cheated …). Watson conducted a series of gruesome experiments on the little boy "Albert" to prove his "crying immunity" education method, which was later called the most immoral experiment of psychology in the early twentieth century.

Pictures come from the Internet.

Watson hopes to apply what Pavlov learned from his research on dogs to people by observing Albert’s reaction. He constantly cultivates children’s fear of certain things and tests whether this fear can be transferred to other objects.

John B Watson wears a Santa mask to scare the baby.

In the experiment, little Albert was constantly frightened, and all he could give was to open his eyes in horror and cry … By the end of the experiment, the child’s expression was almost dull.

Pictures come from the Internet.

But like john manny, these "scientists" who focus on research never think that what they did led to the tragedy. Even though the experiments were widely criticized and criticized by the outside world, they themselves did not accept any punishment.

On September 25th, 1958, Waston died alone in Connecticut. Before his death, he burned all the unpublished scientific research results. Perhaps it was not until the end of his life that he realized his disregard and annihilation of human nature, and he began to question the truth he had always believed in through repeated destruction and destruction.

Pictures come from the Internet.

The evil in this world has many forms, even far beyond our imagination.

Time and time again, scientists have made selfish research, and one baby after another has been victimized by experiments. All this should not have happened. …

Science is rational, serious and even cold, but human beings are not. Whether it is extreme human experiments or genetic modification that touches the boundaries of life, if we abandon the most basic concern for human nature, it may lead to unpredictable tragic consequences.

Supreme Leader: "Double Control Action" is a hard measure.

  During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, a series of hard measures must be taken to promote the construction of ecological civilization and solve the problems of tight resource constraints, serious environmental pollution and ecosystem degradation, and only by doing real work can it be effective. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out in the explanation of the planning proposal of the Fifth Plenary Session: "It is a hard measure to implement the action of controlling the total amount and intensity of energy and water resources consumption and construction land. That is to say, it is necessary to control both the total amount and the energy consumption, water consumption and the intensity of construction land per unit of GDP. If this work is done well, it will not only save energy and water and soil resources, reduce pollutant emissions from the source, but also force the transformation of economic development mode and improve the green level of China’s economic development. " The Outline of the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development of the People’s Republic of China adopted at the Fourth Session of the 12th National People’s Congress well embodies this idea, and puts forward the action of "controlling the total amount and intensity of energy and water resources consumption and construction land". Please learn with "Learn China".

Pictured: The Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) was held in Beijing from October 26 to 29, 2015. The General Secretary of the Central Committee and the Supreme Leader made an important speech.

First, dual control of energy consumption

  Energy is the source of power for modern economic growth and an important material basis for the sustainable development and security of national economy. With the rapid development of China’s economy and the continuous expansion of its economic aggregate, the process of industrialization and urbanization is also accelerating, energy consumption is increasing rapidly, and environmental degradation is also increasing. Under the constraint of energy and environment, to maintain the rapid and sustainable development of economy, we must build a safe, stable and environmentally friendly modern energy consumption system. At the meeting of the Central Leading Group for Finance and Economics held on June 14th, 2014, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Resolutely control the total energy consumption, effectively implement the priority policy of energy conservation, make energy conservation run through the whole process of economic and social development and all fields, firmly adjust the industrial structure, attach great importance to energy conservation in urbanization, establish the concept of diligence and thrift, and accelerate the formation of an energy-saving society."

  Implementing total energy consumption control is an important strategy in China. In the past few decades, large-scale energy consumption has provided upward momentum for economic growth. During the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period, China’s total energy consumption increased from 2.36 billion tons of standard coal in 2005 to 3.25 billion tons in 2010, with an average annual growth rate of 6.6%. During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, although energy consumption was controlled, it still showed an overall growth trend. According to the statistical bulletin on national economic and social development in 2015 issued by the National Bureau of Statistics, the total energy consumption in 2015 was 4.3 billion tons of standard coal, up by 0.9% over the previous year. At present, China is changing from ensuring supply to controlling energy consumption, and open energy production and consumption will be restricted. In particular, high energy-consuming industries and surplus industries are subject to strong constraints on total energy consumption control, and other industries are subject to strong constraints according to advanced energy efficiency standards. From the perspective of national policy, the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" and medium-and long-term total control will continue. According to the National Energy Strategic Action Plan (2014-2020), by 2020, the total primary energy consumption will be controlled at about 4.8 billion tons of standard coal and the total coal consumption will be controlled at about 4.2 billion tons. The "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" outlines: "The total energy consumption should be controlled within 5 billion tons of standard coal." Controlling the total energy consumption is actually the total consumption of coal and oil,Especially to reduce the proportion of coal consumption. In particular, strictly control the energy consumption of steel, cement, thermal power and other high energy-consuming industries and surplus industries, so that the total energy consumption of these industries will only decrease rather than increase.

  The index to measure the efficiency of regional energy utilization is mainly the intensity of energy consumption, that is, the energy consumption per unit of GDP. The higher the intensity of energy consumption, the lower the efficiency of energy utilization, otherwise, the higher the efficiency of energy utilization. The change of energy consumption intensity reflects the change of energy consumption structure on the one hand; On the other hand, it also reflects the change of industrial structure. Premier Li Keqiang pointed out in his 2016 government work report that during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period, "the energy consumption per unit of GDP decreased by 18.2%, and the discharge of major pollutants decreased by more than 12%." The goal of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period is to reduce energy consumption per unit of GDP by 15%.

  Dual control of total energy consumption and energy intensity is an inevitable choice under the current economic restructuring, industrial upgrading and transformation, and air pollution control. We can’t wait for the peak of energy consumption to come naturally, so we have to take the initiative to regulate and break our wrists. From the perspective of energy management itself, to implement the goal of dual control, we must first change the demand-oriented energy production mode and turn to two-way management of demand side and supply side, improve energy utilization efficiency, ensure rational use of energy, encourage energy conservation, control excessive use of energy and limit extensive use of energy. In macroeconomic management, we should continue to increase the adjustment of industrial structure, speed up the development of modern service industry and cultivate and develop strategic emerging industries while transforming and upgrading traditional manufacturing industries. According to relevant research, if the secondary industry is reduced by one percentage point and the tertiary industry is increased by one percentage point, the energy consumption per unit GDP can be reduced by one percentage point. Obviously, the adjustment of industrial structure is the most effective measure to control the total energy and improve energy efficiency. The Outline of the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan puts forward: "Deepen the energy revolution, focus on promoting the transformation of energy production and utilization, optimize the energy supply structure, improve energy utilization efficiency, and build a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient modern energy system."

Shocked! Foshan Amazon sells and liquidates cross-border e-commerce.

This article was authorized to be transferred from: cross-border e-commerce professional households.

What a shock!

Foshan’s head home is a big seller, and Amazon mattress is one of the best brands. Mr. Ge, the founder of Molblly, released a circle of friends, announcing that the company would quit the cross-border e-commerce field and give up all the stores and brands in the world. I left the company and quit cross-border e-commerce and no longer engaged in any occupation related to cross-border e-commerce.

The founder sent an eloquent farewell in the circle of friends, claiming that leaving was "a decision that everyone was satisfied with".

Shocked! Foshan Amazon sells and liquidates cross-border e-commerce.

This farewell speech is as follows:

Buddha said: Looking back 500 times in the past life, it was only this life that passed by! I think my fate with everyone is the same.

It has disappeared from this WeChat for a long time. I wanted to sneak into the dust, silently shouldering all kinds of market expectations such as speculation, criticism, schadenfreude, regret, expectation, etc. However, any overture always has a final chapter, otherwise, it is a great disrespect for the majority of peers to always delay the precious time of the people who eat melons and try to find various ways to speculate on our future direction.

In 2024, through frank communication with my shareholders, I fully analyzed the current situation and future international and market situation, and finally made a decision that everyone was satisfied with:

* *, quit the cross-border e-commerce field and give up all the stores and brands in the world.

I, leave * * and quit cross-border e-commerce, and no longer engage in any occupation related to cross-border e-commerce.

In the future, any publicity with my and my love’s achievements has not been authorized by me and my love, and the publicity content can’t represent the real company situation. Please don’t trust market rumors and make more business judgments yourself. This is my little reminder to you.

This venture, after five and a half years, the team started from scratch, made a difficult start, and made people look forward to it at its peak, which has fulfilled my lifelong dream. I’m a man of great ability, and I have achieved such great achievements with the help of Chinese people, which is beyond my expectation. Therefore, I have no regrets in my life. Today, I can finally practice the sentence that often comes to my mind: I’ve gone to the clothes and hid myself in fame.

In these five years, I should be the pig lying in the air, firmly grasping the broom of Harry Potter, standing in the limelight and becoming a trendsetter in the industry. However, I know very well that I can fly, and I can fly so high, so far and safely for such a long time. I really want to thank many people.

First of all, I would like to thank my brothers and sisters who grew up with me. In recent years, I have drawn you one pie after another. No matter whether the cakes are eaten or not, most people have chosen not to leave. I said: Let the affectionate and righteous partners live with dignity. Sorry, this time, I’m going to break my word. However, as long as you keep our fighting spirit, spirit and learning ability in the past few years, I think you can live a dignified life on your own with your current ability. Remember: if you are desperate, choosing unyielding is the greatest dignity of life!

Secondly, I would like to thank our shareholders for putting such a big plate in my hands and giving them the right to act cheaply, which is worthy of being a contemporary bole. Trust is the cornerstone of our success. Fortunately, I finally failed you!

Thirdly, I want to thank our supplier partners, thank you for your support and help all the time, and especially thank you for your recognition and trust. Your recognition makes us firmly believe that our basic principles for treating our partners are correct. It’s a pity that we can’t continue to walk with you all the way, and the market environment is unstable, but I still hope everyone will get better and better. I’m also very glad to be able to settle all the debts of everyone in the internal and external difficulties. This is my last goodwill for this industry!

Finally, I would like to thank the colleagues who stayed behind to deal with the aftermath. Please rest assured that we will respond to all the aftermath and deal with it one by one, and we will never leave any unfinished business!

At the end of this month, the aftermath of the old brand was basically completed, and I also fulfilled my original promise, and I handled almost all the things that I should handle. I had no choice but to spend it. It was time to say goodbye. Although we are reluctant, Cangyang Jiacuo has long expressed our entanglement and helplessness: the world is safe and secure, and we will live up to the Tathagata. So let’s leave with a smile.

Cross-border e-commerce, goodbye! Cross-border e-commerce, never see again! Final tip:

This mobile phone number is no longer used, please do not dial.

This micro signal has been disabled, please do not leave a message.

According to the statement issued by Lao Ge (Ge Xuguang), a cross-border trader of Love, in the circle of friends, Love Cross-border has decided to completely withdraw from the cross-border e-commerce field and give up all the stores and brands in the world. What is even more surprising is that Lao Ge himself announced that he would leave the industry he had been deeply involved in for many years and no longer engage in any occupation related to cross-border e-commerce.

It is understood that,Although Ai Home is a recruit in the cross-border e-commerce industry, it is a veteran in the foundry. It has a history of 16 years since its establishment in 2007. Love crosses the borderSince its establishment in 2018, it has quickly emerged in the field of cross-border e-commerce with its high-quality products and unique marketing strategies.

In 2019, love was handed in for the first time across borders, and the results were unexpected. A team of five people, with only two products, created an operating income of 200 million yuan a year. In the following years, it was even more arrogant, with sales reaching 3.2 billion yuan in 2023.

In 2022, Love launched its own mattress brand MOLBLLY across the border. Although it is a new brand, its performance is excellent. The omni-channel revenue of the brand reached 1.37 billion yuan in the whole year, with an increase of over 70% in the first quarter of 2023 compared with last year. In the TOP10 of Amazon mattress category BS list, MOLBLLY occupied two seats, among which a 10-inch memory foam mattress rushed to the fourth place and became a leader in the industry.

However, just when everyone expected it to continue to create brilliance, there was news of its withdrawal.

As soon as the news came out, sellers started a hot discussion on major social media platforms. Some people lament the cruelty of market competition, some people regret the departure of Lao Ge, and some people are full of expectations for the cross-border future of love.

Shocked! Foshan Amazon sells and liquidates cross-border e-commerce.

* On May 27th, the official of Amazon’s global store opening shared Molbly as a typical case, and mentioned that Molbly’s annual omni-channel income was 1.37 billion yuan, which once ranked second in Amazon mattress category.

In this regard, some insiders analyzed that. There may be many reasons behind the withdrawal of cross-border love.

On the one hand, with the intensification of market competition, love may feel strong pressure from other brands or platforms, resulting in its market share gradually shrinking.

On the other hand, the adjustment of business strategy, the mistake of product positioning or the difficulty of market expansion may also have a considerable negative impact on its performance. The departure of the core figure of the company, Lao Ge, aggravated the internal instability of the company, making love cross-border make this difficult decision under multiple pressures.

In recent years, the domestic mattress market in the United States has also experienced considerable turmoil. Due to persistent inflation and rising labor costs, some star mattress brands, such as Purple and Casper, have fallen into losses one after another, and established enterprises, such as Shu Da Simmons, are also facing the dilemma of bankruptcy and restructuring. This makes the attitude of American domestic mattress enterprises towards overseas emerging brands gradually change from "emphasis" to "hostility".

For large furniture products sold on Amazon and other platforms, due to their high investment and high risk, a little carelessness may lead to a loss of money. As a well-known brand of Love Cross-border, Molblly plays a pivotal role in the cross-border e-commerce field. However, in the face of the "hostility" of American local enterprises and the strict supervision of Amazon and other platforms, the competitive pressure faced by Molblly is undoubtedly even greater.

In general, the cross-border withdrawal of love is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the entire cross-border e-commerce industry. But at the same time, it also sounded the alarm for us. In today’s increasingly fierce market competition, enterprises need to keep keen insight at all times, constantly examine and adjust their strategies and directions to adapt to market changes. In addition, internal management and team building are equally important. Only by ensuring the steady development of these two aspects can enterprises be invincible in the fierce competition.

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.

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.

Hospital traffickers transferred to the Internet to become "e-commerce" registration and increased the price by several hundred yuan.

  For the traffickers who resell the hospital expert number, the hospital is constantly managing and the public security organs have been cracking down hard. Judging from the registration halls of some hospitals, the number of traffickers is indeed much less. However, this does not mean that the traffickers are extinct. Recently, on some shopping websites and registered apps, there have been cases where traffickers sell expert numbers at a higher price. Is the emergence of network number traffickers a scam or another channel to resell expert numbers? The "Legal Daily" reporter conducted an in-depth investigation on this.

  □ Our reporter Zhao Li

  □ Intern Kong Hui of this newspaper

  Just over a week after she recovered from a fever, the daughter of Beijing citizen Wang Zhongxin had a fever again. In the face of her daughter, who was constantly ill shortly after entering the park, Wang Zhongxin was a little anxious. "The child has been coughing and worried about turning into pneumonia."

  On the third day of the child’s second high fever, Wang Zhongxin, who lives in Fengtai District, Beijing, took the child to a private children’s hospital near his home in the afternoon, but what he didn’t expect was that nearly five o’clock in the afternoon, more than 70 numbers hung up in the morning had not been read.

  Wang Zhongxin took his children to a nearby public hospital and was told that he could only see the emergency department. "I did like it that day, but I couldn’t take a film to see the lungs."

  No choice, Wang Zhongxin had to choose a large private children’s hospital in Chaoyang District, Beijing, 30 kilometers away from home.

  Why not go to other children’s hospitals? Wang Zhongxin said that he could not hang the number.

  However, the reporter found that "not hanging the number" is not absolute. With the help of some means, it may just be a matter of spending more money.

  Online "yellow cattle" registration increases by several hundred yuan.

  On an online shopping and retail platform, the reporter of Legal Daily searched with "Children’s Hospital Registration" as the key word, and many registered businesses appeared. The reporter randomly selected one of the shops named "114 Appointment Registration Funding System".

  Entering the store, the reporter asked the owner if he could hang the "expert number of Beijing Children’s Hospital", and the owner gave a positive answer. The talk time between the reporter and the shopkeeper was around 13: 00 on December 5th, and the shopkeeper said that he could register the expert number of Children’s Hospital on the morning of December 6th, and the service fee was 300 yuan, and the registration fee was paid by himself.

  Subsequently, the reporter entered the words "Beijing Hospital Registration" in the search box, and found a large number of "commodities" again. The introduction directly stated the names of "Peking Union Medical College Hospital Appointment Registration" and "beijing jishuitan hospital Expert Number". The reporter randomly clicked into a shop called "Beijing Great Hospital Registration" and asked the customer service about the price. Customer service replied that different hospitals have different prices. Generally speaking, the service charge varies from 400 yuan to 600 yuan for registering an expert number, and 300 yuan for registering an ordinary number, and the registration fee is borne by the buyer.

  The reporter offered to buy the expert number of spinal surgery in Jishuitan Hospital on the morning of December 6th. The customer service said that the expert registration fee was 100 yuan, plus the service fee of 400 yuan, which was 500 yuan. After taking the link sent by the customer service, the other party asked the reporter to add WeChat contact. After the WeChat verification passed, the customer service asked for the patient’s ID card, name and contact number. After a while, the reporter received a verification code from the "Beijing Tong Jing Yi Tong" platform on his mobile phone. After the customer service asked the reporter to provide the verification code, he told the reporter that the expert number had been hung up, and he went to the hospital for self-service brushing on the morning of December 6.

  "Beijing Tong Jing Yi Tong" is the official registration platform of Beijing municipal hospitals. The reporter opened the "Jing Yi Tong" WeChat WeChat official account, clicked on the registration in the column of medical service, and chose beijing jishuitan hospital Spinal Surgery. When the reporter talked with the customer service, all the expert numbers had been displayed on the morning of December 6, and even all the expert numbers released in the next 8 days had been displayed.

  Then, how did the online store customer service help hang the expert number?

  The reporter noticed that among such registered businesses, the buyer’s evaluation column was almost unanimous, such as "good attitude, reliable, and able to make an appointment with an expert." Moreover, if you place an order in advance, you can hang up the number of the seller to deliver the goods on the same day, and then confirm the receipt. ""Great praise, convenient and quick, I tried it with suspicion at first, and the customer service attitude was super good. No matter how long I was, I patiently explained and paid after seeing a doctor, which was really reliable. I will identify your home if necessary in the future. ""The doctor is very famous, but the seller is very energetic and tried every means to help us solve the problem. "

  Buying an expert number through an online store is really available.

  At 7: 30am on December 6th, there was an endless queue in front of every registration window in the registration hall of beijing jishuitan hospital. People in the hall are next to people, and there is almost no place to stay. From time to time, the reminder of "No number" from the service staff came from the microphone in the window. In the long queue for registration, there are all kinds of traffickers, and the reporter will be stopped after almost a few steps. "Do you want a number, an expert number?" The same words are repeated.

  In front of the self-service numbering machine, a middle-aged man swiped his ID card and successfully got the spinal surgery expert number from 9: 30 am to 10: 30 am that day. The reporter asked him how long he had been waiting in line to hang up the expert number. The middle-aged man hesitated for a while and whispered, "I didn’t wait in line, so I spent more money to buy it online."

  According to the screenshot of successful registration and related instructions sent by the customer service of online shop, the reporter set up a temporary medical card in the card building window of the registration hall, and then inserted the medical card into the self-service number retrieval machine, and successfully took out the morning number of the famous spinal surgery expert. The medical time was from 10: 30 am to 11: 30 am. The reporter took the number to the spine surgery guidance desk on the east side of the third floor of the outpatient clinic. The nurse on duty affirmed the authenticity of the expert number and ordered to wait in line for treatment according to the number.

  In the waiting area, the reporter met a pair of grandparents and grandchildren from Shanxi. The granddaughter Liu Xin (a pseudonym) accompanied her grandmother to treat lumbar disc herniation. They also hung an expert number. The reporter asked how the expert number was hung up. Liu Xin said with some helplessness, "The expert number is too difficult to hang up. We made an appointment online more than half a month in advance. The normal number is long gone. This is still an added number. I can’t read it in the morning. I have to wait until the afternoon."

  The number of the same expert, the same online appointment, why can’t the patient hang it, but the online shop owner can hang it? The reporter tentatively asked the customer service of the online shop that helped hang the expert number. He said bluntly that when the online registration platform put the number, it was basically impossible to grab the expert number by the patient himself. They have special channels, and they have reserved the number in advance to find the relationship, so they can easily get the expert number through the network platform.

  Internet traffickers are as difficult to monitor as "purchasing"

  In addition, the reporter also found a kind of "paying for convenience" registration method — — Make an Appointment to register the app

  In October this year, Ms. Li, a Beijing citizen, was going to take a friend from Fujian to a hospital in Beijing to see the lacrimal gland problem. However, after registering through an Appointment registration app, she found that her expert number was charged the service fee of 150 yuan in addition to the registration fee.

  "At that time, I found the hospital with the relevant documents. The hospital said that it did not charge this service fee. If it is linked through the hospital’s WeChat WeChat official account or cooperation platform, it will not charge additional service fees." Ms. Li recalled to reporters.

  The reporter noticed that on Ms. Li’s voucher, the category of this service fee is "primary registration consultation fee". Ms. Li’s mobile phone still has a short message that she received at that time, indicating that the payment should be completed within 30 minutes, otherwise the appointment will be invalid. The information sender does not show the relevant hospitals or cooperation platforms.

  "Later, the hospital outpatient office said that this is not a formal registration channel for the hospital. It is recommended that I return the number and re-register from the clinic." Ms. Li said that she later withdrew her number from her mobile phone, but she didn’t expect to be deducted 30% of the service fee by the registration software. Ms. Li was annoyed that she was not treated as ill and was wrongly charged more than 30 yuan.

  In the App market, the reporter also found many apps about appointment registration through simple search. After installing an Appointment registration App, the reporter found that the expert number of Beijing Grand Hospital can be reserved through this app. After logging in with the mobile phone number, select the department to be registered, and the reporter successfully booked the expert number of the Department of Orthopaedics of Peking Union Medical College Hospital the next afternoon. However, when paying the fee, the reporter found that the original expert number of 100 yuan actually needed 373 yuan in the App. Looking carefully, it turns out that there is an additional fee called "primary registration consultation fee", which is 273 yuan.

  To this end, the reporter came to Peking Union Medical College Hospital to find out, and the hospital’s medical guide said that the hospital’s expert outpatient registration fee is only 100 yuan, and the rest of the consultation fee should be charged by the App platform. The medical guide stressed that patients must choose the official registration platform for online registration to guard against property losses.

  Although the publicity of the formal registration channel has been strengthened, the hospital staff interviewed all said that they feel that they have no way to start with the network number traffickers.

  Huang Ping, who works in the Information Department of a tertiary hospital in Beijing, admitted to the reporter: "All the sources in our hospital can make an appointment online. Although real-name registration system is registered by entering an ID card, the current network number trafficker is like ‘ Purchasing ’ The websites and apps they built attract patients to log in and fill in the information needed for registration, such as name and ID card. As long as he has the patient’s information, he can hang the number on our channel like a patient. On the internet, we can’t monitor whether it is a trafficker or a patient. "

  In the past, hospital security and outpatient customer service staff could play a major role in cracking down on traffickers. Now the trafficker is active on the Internet. Although the hospital has searched several websites and apps according to the clues provided by patients, at first glance, they are all regular websites and apps, and I don’t know where to complain.
