　　Make the "happy place" happier.

　　Three village, Qingshui Township, Tengchong City, under the jurisdiction of Baoshan City, was once a poverty-stricken village with a file, and the whole village was lifted out of poverty in 2017. On the afternoon of 19th, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader walked into the Wa village of Mola, Zhongzhai, three village.

　　Smola, which means "happy place" in English.

　　"On that day, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader listened to the report on the poverty alleviation in Qingshui Township and three village, and boarded the observation deck at the entrance of the village. The General Secretary also sat around with the villagers to talk about a happy life." Recalling the scene at that time, Meng Jizao, secretary of the Party Committee of Qingshui Township, is like a few treasures.

　　In recent years, this Wa village, which has a history of hundreds of years, has explored and developed a new model of rural tourism to help the poor, and has become a national AAA-level scenic spot. Last year, it received 50,000 tourists, and 16 poor households and 71 people in the village have all been lifted out of poverty. Meng Jizao said, next, we must keep in mind the entrustment, Do not forget your initiative mind, and work hard to do every good thing and every practical thing for the masses.

　　In 2017, Li Fashun, a Wa villager who was once poor due to disability, successfully got rid of poverty through government assistance and his own efforts. In 2019, the family income exceeded 40,000 yuan. "I was greatly encouraged by the words of the Supreme Leader General Secretary. Instead of winning the concern of others with tears, it is better to win the applause of others with sweat. Although I am physically disabled, I cannot be mentally disabled. I will continue to work hard with my hands to increase my income, let my two children go to school, get out of the depths of the mountains and change the future! " Li Fashun said.

　　In the past two days, tourists came to Zhongzhai in an endless stream, and Zhao Jiaqing, secretary of the General Party Branch of three village, also came to serve tourists. Zhao Jiaqing said: "The general secretary’s entrustment and wishes give us confidence and strength. We must implement the instructions of the General Secretary to the letter in practical work, think about it in one place and make it in one place, make rural tourism prosperous, consolidate the rich industry, and make the happy Wa village happier! "

　　Let the party’s innovation theory "fly into the homes of ordinary people"

　　In Heshun Ancient Town, a famous hometown of overseas Chinese, 5 kilometers away from Tengchong City, you can not only appreciate the charm of Huizhou-style buildings with white walls and tiles, but also appreciate the beautiful images of small bridges and flowing water in Jiangnan Ancient Town. There are more than 100 century-old houses here, which are known as "living fossils" of ancient buildings in China. Among them, Heshun Library, a national key cultural relics protection unit with a collection of more than 100,000 books, which has been built for more than 90 years, is located at the entrance of the ancient town.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited Heshun Ancient Town on the afternoon of 19th.

　　Cun Maohong, former curator of Heshun Library and Ai Siqi Memorial Hall, introduced the historical and cultural heritage and the revitalization of cultural education in Heshun Library (photo taken on January 20). Xinhua News Agency reporter Hu Chao photo

　　"The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader walked into Heshun Library to learn about the historical and cultural heritage of the ancient town and the revitalization of cultural education." Cun Maohong, the former curator of Heshun Library and Ai Siqi Memorial Hall who accompanied the lecture at that time, said that we have a long way to go to further inherit the fine tradition of respecting literature and teaching, and to strengthen the good social atmosphere of "everyone can read good books and share culture".

　　Heshun is the hometown of the famous philosopher Ai Siqi. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to the Ai Siqi Memorial Hall in the depths of the ancient town to learn about Ai Siqi’s life-long dedication to the research and propaganda of Marxist philosophy and the promotion of the popularization and China of Marxist philosophy.

　　This is a scene of Ai Siqi Memorial Hall (photo taken on January 20th). Xinhua News Agency reporter Hu Chao photo

　　The reporter saw in the Ai Siqi Memorial Hall, not far from Heshun Library, that pines and cypresses stand upright, plum blossoms are blooming and tourists are weaving. "The words of the Supreme Leader General Secretary are both ardent expectations and great trust." Cun Maohong said, we all have the responsibility to carry on the fine tradition of learning from Ai Siqi, especially to further turn the Ai Siqi Memorial Hall into the forefront of propagating Marxism.

　　Pu Yazeng, the mayor of Heshun Town, said: "In the next step, we should protect, inherit and carry forward Heshun culture, carry forward Heshun’s advantages in foreign cultural exchanges, especially in China-Myanmar cultural exchanges, and promote more cultural exchanges with overseas Chinese through the role of the Overseas Chinese Federation for ‘ Belt and Road ’ Construction adds bricks and tiles. "

　　We must never take the old road of pollution first and then treatment.

　　On the 20th, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to the ecological wetland of Xinghai Peninsula in Dianchi, Kunming.

　　"The general secretary asked in detail about the protection and management of Dianchi Lake and the improvement of water quality." Zhao Xuenong, deputy mayor of Kunming, who attended the accompanying inspection on the same day, said that as a participant in the management of Dianchi Lake, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader inspected the protection and management of Dianchi Lake in such a detailed way that he was encouraged and deeply responsible.

　　Zhao Xuenong said that the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader walked along the trail and asked questions very carefully, especially about the governance and water quality of Dianchi Lake. "The general secretary’s instructions on the management of Dianchi Lake are very clear, which makes me very excited and feels great encouragement."

　　Dianchi Lake covers an area of more than 300 square kilometers and is the largest plateau lake in Yunnan. In 1990s, the water quality of Dianchi Lake gradually deteriorated to worse than V, and it became one of the most polluted lakes in China. "We fully implement the idea of ecological civilization construction and promote Dianchi Lake governance as the touchstone for practicing the concept of green development." Zhao Xuenong said that through years of unremitting comprehensive management, the water bodies of nine plateau lakes in Yunnan, including Dianchi Lake, have improved as a whole, and the number of lakes with inferior V water bodies has decreased from four in 2015 to one at present. Now, the construction of beautiful Yunnan is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

　　"In recent years, the once-disappeared species endemic to Dianchi Lake, such as the golden thread, have gradually reappeared, which is a sign of the phased achievements in Dianchi Lake management." Li Weiwei, a senior engineer at Kunming Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that the "Mother Lake" with flying birds and leaping fish is gradually returning.

　　With the gradual recovery of the ecological environment, the wetland park near Dianchi Lake has become a good place for citizens and tourists to relax on holidays. Fu Wen, director of Kunming Dianchi Management Bureau, said that the ecological, economic and social benefits of Dianchi Lake management in Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets are gradually emerging.

　　"We must bear in mind the entrustment of the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader, and in accordance with the spirit of the General Secretary’s instructions, we will work hard for a long time to manage Dianchi Lake." Zhao Xuenong said.

He is very familiar with crops, such as several treasures." Recalling the conversation between General Secretary of the Supreme Leader and them, Yi girls Yunqiong and Yunli are still excited. Yunqiong and Yunli come from Dongchuan District, Kunming, and sell the local products planted by their hometown people in the new year market.

　　Yun Li said: "When we knew that we were selling agricultural products grown by poor people, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader encouraged us to continue to work hard, which made us very excited, more confident and motivated. In the future, we will organize more ordinary people to plant and lead them to increase their income together and live a better life."

　　"The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader watched the old classrooms and monuments in the former site of The National SouthWest Associated University very carefully and learned in detail the glorious history of The National SouthWest Associated University in the anti-Japanese bonfire." Rao Wei, secretary of the Party Committee of Yunnan Normal University, who accompanied the Supreme Leader on his inspection tour, said that the arrival of the General Secretary made the teachers and students of the whole school feel very excited and excited. "We must, in accordance with the requirements of the Supreme Leader’s General Secretary, make full use of the precious resource of The National SouthWest Associated University spirit, integrate The National SouthWest Associated University’s patriotism into the education of socialist core values, implement the fundamental task of educating people in Lide, tell the story of The National SouthWest Associated University from generation to generation, and pass on The National SouthWest Associated University’s patriotism from generation to generation."

　　Meng Xiaolong, a student of Yunnan Normal University, joined the voluntary explanation team of The National SouthWest Associated University Museum in 2017 and has given five or six hundred lectures so far. "During the Anti-Japanese War, the school buildings were bombed many times, but the teachers and students of the General Assembly rebuilt the school buildings again and again, which deeply touched me." Meng Xiaolong said that The National SouthWest Associated University teachers and students’ academic pursuit and love for the motherland are worthy of serious study by contemporary college students. We will certainly study hard and practice our excellent skills in accordance with the requirements and hopes of the Supreme Leader General Secretary.

March belongs to seals.

During this month, different animal protection agencies proposed and set up different festivals related to seal protection.

March 15th is the International Day of Action for the Seals, March 22nd is the most widely recognized International Seal Day, and in China, March 1st is the International Seal Day recognized by domestic environmental protection groups.

In English, the word "seal" includes not only the true seal, earless seal) without external ear, but also the eared seal such as sea lion and fur seal with external ear.

Therefore, the word sealing not only refers to hunting seals, but also includes hunting other types of flippers, even walruses.

However, since we are telling stories on the International Seal Day in China, today, let’s just talk about seals.

The story of the seal

Tromso is a famous port city in northern Norway, which is called "the entrance to the Arctic Ocean".

Tromso in history is the place where the brave set out. In the past, whalers, seal hunters and polar explorers all chose to set off from here and go to the icy Arctic Ocean to realize their grand blueprint.

Hunting whales and seals is still a cool job for traditional Norwegians. There is nothing wrong with this in itself. The historical environment gave birth to hunting behavior-at that time, successful hunting meant rewarding yourself, comforting your family and improving your social status and relationship.

Unlike whaling ships sailing in the open sea, seal hunters need to look for seals in the floating ice, which also means that their ships are in danger of being frozen by floating.

When the seals are dragged onto the ship, they may also encounter all kinds of accidents-ice floes are broken, polar bears are raided … Every time they return home in triumph, they bring back the gains they have gained with risks.

Nowadays, the hunting action of seal hunters is more restricted-whether it is the hunting object, hunting means or hunting quantity, strict regulations must be followed. Their every move has also attracted the attention of animal protection groups all over the world.

The hunting tradition of seals

The thick fat on marine mammals can help them resist the low temperature marine environment, and there are extra soft fur on seals, sea lions and seals, which also brings them fatal disasters.

Different from whales that live in the ocean all their lives, they breed on ice floes and congregate along the coast. In addition, most seals are slower and less aggressive than sea lions and seals after leaving the sea, which makes them easy to be hunted by human beings.

Indigenous people in the Arctic Circle, such as the Inuit, have continued their traditional life of hunting sea animals from generation to generation.

The first successful hunting of seals or reindeer is like a rite of passage for Inuit boys.

Seals provide the Inuit with necessities such as clothing, food, shelter and transportation. For these aborigines, hunting seals is not only a livelihood, but also a family culture inheritance.

In the 15th and 16th centuries, small-scale commercial seal hunting became popular. Since the rise of the industrial revolution, everything has changed.

The social productivity of human beings has improved by a great leap forward, and the emergence of steamboats has become the origin of commercial hunting. Gray seals, harp seals, crested seals, northern elephant seals … Many seal species in the northern hemisphere have suffered fatal blows, and seals in the southern hemisphere have not been spared.

▲ Description of the hunting scene of seals in Newfoundland, Canada in 1883 Source/book "Newfoundland, The Oldest British Colony"

In 1776, several British businessmen and ship owners jointly launched the first commercial hunting expedition to the South Atlantic, and the tragic fate of sea animals in the South Atlantic began.

South Georgia has become the base of sea animal hunters, where Europeans build slaughter and processing factories for seals, fur seals and whales.

Sea animals in the South Atlantic have never been hunted on such a large scale before. Abundant resources make hunters give up thinking. They squander their resources, do rough processing without stint, and then kill new animals.

The European aristocrats in the northern hemisphere are enjoying the products stripped and processed from these sea animals, such as soap, cosmetics, candles, lubricants, as well as agricultural feed and fertilizer.

The evil consequences of overfishing seals

Although some seals have enough bases to support large-scale commercial development, by the end of the 19th century, the population of these seals still declined sharply.

The northern elephant seal was once considered extinct, and many seal resources in the southern hemisphere were almost exhausted. Even in the 20th century, the hunting of seals has not been well controlled.

In fact, the over-exploitation of sea animal resources by human beings in the past has led to the extinction of three sea animal species: the sea cow, the Atlantic gray whale and the Caribbean monk seal.

The Caribbean monk seal is the only seal that lives in the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. They are gentle and slow-moving, and they are not wary of human beings.

▲ Photographed in the Caribbean monk seal in the new york Aquarium in 1910, this species left us only black and white photos/Wikipedia.

After the habitat of monk seals was colonized, the habitat of these seals was seriously damaged and the seals were hunted in large numbers.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, the witness rate of Caribbean monk seals has dropped sharply. The last sighting of this species was in 1952. After that, the Caribbean monk seal faded out of human sight.

In 2008, after five years of investigation and search, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Marine Fisheries Service jointly announced the extinction of the Caribbean monk seal.

The extinction of Caribbean monk seals is directly caused by human activities, including the excessive demand of seal hunters for Caribbean monk seal resources in the 18th and 19th centuries and the overfishing of fishery resources in Caribbean coral reefs.

The brutal killing of seals that attracted attention

With the development of civilized society, the public has a clearer understanding of the commercial hunting of seals. The reason why the public can’t recognize the commercial hunting of seals is largely due to the fact that people can’t accept the cruel methods used in hunting seals.

Some unscrupulous seal hunters don’t care about seals’ feelings when hunting them. Sometimes they just knock them out and skin them alive, which may cause seals to suffer severe pain after waking up.

Seal cubs are not good at swimming, and their hair is not waterproof. Generally, they only stay on ice or land, so they are easier to catch.

In addition, the cubs of some species (such as harp seals) have pure white fur as snow, which can bring higher profits to hunters, so some hunters even put the baby seals to death and peel them directly in front of the mother seals.

Nowadays, the seal products that are commercially hunted are more bloody and cruel to the public, and many people are ashamed to wear seal fur.

In May, 2009, the European Parliament passed a legislative bill to ban the trading of seal products in the EU market, so as to ensure that the seal products obtained by commercial hunting no longer appear in the EU trade market. This is a powerful measure against the commercial killing of seals at the government level.

Despite this, there are still 8 countries and regions in the world that are currently engaged in commercial sea animal hunting activities.

These include Canada, Greenland (Denmark), Norway, Iceland, Sweden, Finland, Russia, and Namibia in Africa. Canada has always been the center of controversy because it has hosted the largest seal hunting operation in the world.

▲ Canadian seal hunters stepped off the hunting boat and pounced on seals. Source/Wikipedia

For these countries that are still hunting seals commercially, they always have reasonable and justified reasons to continue hunting seals, such as:

At present, they hunt a large number of existing seals (such as harp seals and gray seals), which are not endangered species. Proper hunting of seals can even effectively control the number of seals and prevent seals from competing with humans for habitat.

Fishery resources, such as cod production in Arctic waters, have been declining year after year, and excessive seals will compete with humans for fishery resources, and even some seals will bite the fishing nets, causing fishermen’s property losses.

▲ Pot map used to cook seals and seal oil at the South Georgia Whaling Station/author of this article, Meow Fish Sauce

Let’s not talk about whether these reasons are completely tenable for the time being. At least now, the governments of these countries have obvious control measures for seal hunting activities in their own countries.

According to the statistics of IUCN’s Red List in 2015 and 2016, the populations of harp seals and grey seals in the Arctic sea area are currently on the rise.

As for the southern elephant seals and Antarctic fur seals in the southern hemisphere, they have been completely protected. Now South Georgia has recovered its vitality before the era of commercial hunting. What humans left there are only abandoned whaling huts and oil pans, which have become cultural heritage for tourists to watch.

Future challenges of protecting seals

Will the surviving and protected seals be able to continue their populations successfully in the future? The fact is not so optimistic, because these seals will face more human activities.

Take the two remaining species of monk seals as an example. At present, the challenges they face mainly come from habitat destruction caused by human activities.

Before the 20th century, Mediterranean monk seals would gather and breed on the beach. However, due to beach development and crowd sightseeing, many shy Mediterranean monk seals chose to hide in seaside caves to give birth, which reduced the survival rate of their cubs.

Reduced population distribution means less communication between different populations, and each population is isolated to a higher degree. In case of sudden disaster changes, the whole population may be wiped out.

▲ Mediterranean monk seals hide in caves to avoid human interference. Source/Wikipedia

At present, the number of Hawaiian monk seals in the world is only around 1000, while the number of Mediterranean monk seals is less than 500. Thanks to the local attention and appeal, the number of monk seals in the Mediterranean has been restored to a certain extent.

For seals that live in the Arctic sea area and rely on ice floes to give birth and raise their young, at present, their impact mainly comes from global climate change.

In the Norwegian documentary "The Hunter in the Ice Sea: The Last Hunting", Bjorn, the captain of the seal hunting ship, expressed his confusion about the future.

▲ Harp seal mother gets along with the baby on the ice Source/seals-world.com

This is not only because their behavior of hunting seals is restricted by more laws and public opinions, but also in recent years, they have noticed the change of sea ice-the thinning and reduction of ice floes caused by global climate change are not only conducive to the breeding of seals on the floes, but also to the hunting of seals by seal hunters on the floes.

"In the past hunting areas, we could probably see 50,000 to 70,000 seals, but now they are all gone."

Normally, seals only give birth to one baby every year, and the survival rate of cubs is lower than that of adult individuals.

Considering these life-history characteristics and the current threats faced by seals, in the next decade, we may witness that some vulnerable seal populations will be reduced by human activities, including but not limited to coastal development, seawater pollution (such as oil spill), plastic waste entanglement, climate change, etc.

In addition, the use of wild seals for captive display has also brought harm to the seal population.

In China, the emerging aquarium industry has spawned a series of demands for wild marine animals.

In February 2019, Dalian police seized a case of spotted seal poaching, and the live video shocked many netizens. 100 white spotted seal cubs were kept in a closed and dark environment, and the baby-like cry made people tremble.

▲ The Dalian police released by the traffic police in Changchun, Weibo, seized a video related to a spotted seal poaching case.

These spotted seals were stolen from the spotted seal nature reserve in China. Yes, there are naturally distributed seals in China, and only spotted seals come to visit regularly.

In January and February every year, spotted seals will come to Liaodong Bay to breed and raise young, and theft also occurs at this time. Stolen spotted seal cubs will be sold to the aquarium for captive display.

Many seal cubs died before being sold because of their inability to be independent, poor immunity and frightened stress.

What can we do to protect seals?

We don’t know how long the commercial hunting of seals will last.

Has some of the recovering seal populations seriously damaged the human fishing industry, or is this just an excuse for some countries to keep hunting seals?

Whether simply out of sympathy for such lovely and docile animals as seals or out of respect for wild animals, what we can do is to change the deformed fur aesthetics and resist the meaningless consumption of seal resources.

I wonder if there are people around you who blindly worship seal oil?

▲ We feel that it is everyone’s responsibility to protect wild animals and seals.

Perhaps seal oil really has a certain health care effect. However, the statement in the advertisement that "Arctic aborigines get rich nutrition because of eating seal oil and seal meat, and avoid suffering from’ civilized diseases’ of modern people" has taken into account the healthy living habits of these aborigines, such as doing a lot of outdoor activities on weekdays?

It is the most basic way to protect these animals as much as we can to resist illegal seal hunting and oppose wild seal hunting in captivity for entertainment.

After all, in the future, they will have to face more influences brought by the activities of the whole human group.

finally

Protect every wild animal,

It is our human obligation!

For media people, this is a very special and important movie! Especially now!

Ye Daying’s new film "erin brockovich", which will be officially released on August 12th, tells the story of financial reporters cooperating with the judicial department to expose the evil forces in the capital market.

In erin brockovich, Yu Li, editor-in-chief of New Island Weekly, played by Dani, withstood the pressure from all sides and fought bravely with the evil forces. In the film, Yu Li was not only kidnapped, but also threatened with her life. Her assistant was lured by capital and defected. You Yongzhi, an old opera player, plays Wang Mingguang, the president of Yu Li’s newspaper. With his superb acting skills, he fights with the villains Hai Yitian and Wang Ce, which not only restores the capital fraud case brilliantly, but also shows the determination and belief of media people in upholding justice.

In addition to well-known actors playing important roles in the film, our old friend Li Delin, the founder of Delin Society & Standard Finance, a well-known financial reporter and co-founder of Deep Blue Finance, also played a certain role in the film, which may be the place where we media people are curious.

This is not just a movie, it can be regarded as a textbook for financial news and financial fraud investigation and reporting, as a horn to encourage financial media people to forge ahead, and as our professional mission to revisit. At the same time, this film is also an important reference for listed companies, the most important participants in the capital market.

Liu Jipeng, Dean of the Institute of Capital Finance of China University of Political Science and Law, talks about the impression of erin brockovich.

On the afternoon of August 6th, at the invitation of Wang Boming, Director-General of China Securities Market Research and Design Center and President of Finance and Economics Magazine, I watched the first China media people’s film erin brockovich, which will be released nationwide on August 12th, with He Qiang, Lin Yixiang, Yao Zhenshan, Chen Xingdong and Shen Yi.

Based on the true story of the kidnapping of Yu Ying, the female editor-in-chief of "Weekly Stock Market" in 2008 in the North Third Ring Road, this film records the tortuous process of media people bravely exposing the shady story during the listing of radish chapter of a securities company, and it can also remind people of the shadows of financial tycoons such as tomorrow, Anbang and Yongjin.

After nearly three years of review, it is not easy for this film to be finally released in such a big year as 2022. The title of the film has also been changed from "The Gate of the Predator" to "erin brockovich", which shows the joys and sorrows of the struggle between media people and financial predators in China stock market. It shows that China media people are indispensable as the second supervisory force of the capital market.

After watching the movie, a symposium was held, and the experts at the meeting talked about their views enthusiastically and deeply thought about the reasons behind why the China stock market has been in a downturn for 33 years. I deeply feel that today’s supervision of China’s securities market must be adjusted from focusing on beauty pageants and neglecting thieves to focusing on thieves and neglecting beauty pageants. At the same time, we should give full play to and protect the just power of media people to expose the shady.

An anonymous person in the financial circle talks about the impressions of erin brockovich.

This afternoon, I was invited to watch the film "erin brockovich" by the famous director Ye Daying (the director of the famous film "Red Cherry") and Wang Boming, the president of Caijing magazine, as the producer. The film fully reflected the efforts of a group of media people with ideals to defend the justice of the capital market with the support of judicial justice. After watching the film, I had a discussion with Liu Jipeng, He Qiang, Wang Wei, Lin Yixiang, Chen Xingdong and Shen Yi, famous economists and participants in the construction of the capital market for more than 30 years, and famous media people such as Wang Boming, Yu Ying, He Gang and Yao Zhenshan, director Li Bing of the State Council State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, Wang Hang, vice chairman of New Hope Group, and Li Jiang, a famous lawyer.

At the invitation of Dean Liu Jipeng, I talked about three experiences: First, we personally participated (I published a book on the reform of the shareholding system in enterprises in the first half of 1992, and in 1997 I served as the director of the A-share office of Sanjiu Group, obtained the listing index and planned the listing of related businesses of the Group; Later, he was the deputy head and office director of the Group’s financial decision-making leading group, coordinating the information disclosure and reorganization of three A-share listed companies such as Sanjiu Medicine) and witnessed the magnificent capital market in China for more than 30 years. The capital market is the product of reform and opening up, and has also made outstanding contributions to the reform and opening up, especially the reform of state-owned enterprises and the development and growth of private enterprises. At the same time, it also witnessed the standardized development of China’s securities market, gained a firm foothold in many major events, and persisted in implementing the Company Law and the Governance Standards for Listed Companies. The second is to thank President Wang and Director Ye for making a good film. After human beings have owned the capital market, illegal phenomena appear from time to time in the market. Criminals take the opportunity to make fakes, disrupt the market and infringe on the interests of listed companies’ investors. Therefore, in the past hundred years, the regulatory authorities of various countries have been constantly fighting against the violation of laws and regulations in the capital market. Many of them are regarded as the second supervisory force, pursuing the truth, safeguarding market justice and fairness and giving confidence to market participants. This is something we must support and praise. Third, China’s economic transformation and development, especially to break through the’ stuck’ technology and promote the rapid development of high-tech industries, need a strong capital market.A country’s fund-raising ability is an important part of the country’s comprehensive national strength. Therefore, while constantly standardizing and improving the capital market supervision system, promoting the efficient development of the capital market is the key to ensuring the strategic initiative of big countries in the future, and it is also our desire to expect the capital market to grow and develop.

Today, some old friends in the financial sector meet to recall the’ exciting’ reforms in full swing in the 1980s and the thrilling development of the securities market for more than 30 years, hoping for better development in the future. Thanks to the photo provider.

　　Original title: Increased activity in the consumer market

　　In the first three quarters, China’s consumer market accelerated its recovery. Among them, the total retail sales of social consumer goods increased by 6.8% year-on-year, the retail sales of services increased by 18.9%, and the contribution rate of final consumption expenditure to economic growth was 83.2%.

　　Sheng Laiyun, deputy director of the National Bureau of Statistics, said that under the influence of a series of policies to promote consumption, China’s consumption, especially service consumption, showed a good trend of rebound and recovery.

　　The market is recovering well.

　　In order to promote the sustained recovery of the consumer market, since the beginning of this year, a series of policies and measures to promote consumption have been introduced from the central government to the local government, covering many fields such as automobiles and home furnishing.

　　"As the effect of the policy’ combination boxing’ continues to emerge, the consumption of residents has improved, especially the consumption of some bulk commodities has improved significantly." Zou Xianyu, deputy director of the Macro Department of the Economic Forecasting Department of the National Information Center, said that from the overall trend, the cumulative growth rate of total retail sales of consumer goods in the first three quarters reached 6.8%, a significant increase of 6.1 percentage points over the same period of last year. In September, the total retail sales of social consumer goods increased by 5.5% year-on-year, 0.9 percentage points faster than last month, among which urban consumption accelerated by 1 percentage point in September, and the improvement trend of consumption growth momentum was further revealed.

　　The recovery growth of domestic demand has played an important role in the stabilization and recovery of China’s economy. In terms of classification, residents’ consumption expenditure has accelerated, service consumption such as catering and accommodation has grown rapidly, and consumption of bulk commodities such as automobiles has grown steadily, and the potential of the domestic big market is constantly being released.

　　Service consumption is a bright spot. Since the economic operation has returned to normal, the offline passenger flow has gradually picked up, driving the service consumption to recover quickly. The data shows that the year-on-year growth rate of service retail sales in the first three quarters was significantly higher than the growth rate of total retail sales of consumer goods. Xia Jiechang, vice president of the Institute of Finance and Economics of China Academy of Social Sciences, believes that in the consumer market, the development potential of service consumption is the most worthy of attention. Service retail not only has the general function of retail circulation activities, but also shows important driving effects in supply upgrading, consumption expansion, industry innovation and social employment, and is expected to become the new engine of China’s economic growth in the future.

　　This year’s Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, whether it is the number of trips, tourism consumption or accommodation, catering income data, have maintained a strong growth momentum. "This shows that the market activity has increased and it also highlights the potential and vitality of market consumption." Sheng Laiyun said.

　　While offline passenger traffic gradually picked up, online retail also maintained rapid growth. In the first three quarters, the national online retail sales reached 10.8 trillion yuan, an increase of 11.6%, which was 4.8 percentage points higher than the growth rate of the total retail sales of social consumer goods, and the contribution rate of physical network zero to social zero growth reached 33.9%. Among them, new formats such as live e-commerce are developing strongly. According to the latest data from the Ministry of Commerce, in the first three quarters, 151 of the 170 national e-commerce demonstration bases established live broadcast bases, and the national live broadcast e-commerce sales reached 1.98 trillion yuan, up 60.6%, accounting for 18.3% of the online retail sales. The live broadcast e-commerce pulled the net to zero growth rate of 7.7 percentage points.

　　Consumption potential needs to be tapped

　　Although the consumer market continues to recover steadily, the internal and external environment facing steady growth is still severe and complicated, and the consumption potential needs to be further tapped.

　　Taking new energy vehicles as an example, the sales of new energy vehicles accounted for 29.8% of the total sales of new vehicles in the first three quarters, and the supporting charging infrastructure system was also continuously optimized. However, there are still some problems in rural areas, such as insufficient construction of public charging infrastructure, difficult installation and sharing of charging facilities in residential communities, and prominent contradiction between supply and demand in different periods, which restrict the release of consumption potential of new energy vehicles in rural areas. In the next step, we should effectively reduce the restrictions on the installation of charging piles in rural power grids, promote the popularization of rural charging facilities, and fill in the shortcomings of consumer infrastructure.

　　In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the digital empowerment of traditional business districts and further promote the continuous improvement of physical store operations. Zou Xianyu said that in the process of focusing on supporting the construction of digital commercial blocks, it is necessary to support new business layouts such as smart retail, cross-border retail and unmanned supermarkets.

　　"China’s consumption potential is relatively large, and its population size is relatively large. In addition, it is at a critical stage of upgrading its consumption structure. As the economy continues to recover, the overall consumption trend in China will be good." Sheng Laiyun said that in the fourth quarter, China’s consumption will continue to recover in the first three quarters.

　　"Starting from the overall strategic situation, the state attaches great importance to expanding domestic demand in steady growth, gives priority to restoring and expanding consumption, and has launched a series of policy’ combination boxing’ to promote consumption." Wei Wang, a second-level researcher at the Institute of Market Economy of the State Council Development Research Center, said.

　　At the same time, the overall employment situation has improved, and the income level has increased steadily, helping the consumption power to stabilize. In the first three quarters, the national per capita disposable income actually increased by 5.9%, 0.1 percentage point faster than that in the first half of the year, which laid a good foundation for the sustainable recovery and growth of consumption in the future.

　　"Although the current economy is in the process of wave recovery and tortuous progress, with the continuous repair of the balance sheets of enterprises and residents, consumption willingness and consumption power are expected to further recover, and consumption momentum will be further enhanced." Zou Xianyu said that at the same time, we should also see that there is still a distance from the complete recovery of consumption, and the fluctuation of consumption growth is still large. From the perspective of key categories, the gap-filling effect of service consumption will end, and the whole will gradually return to the normal growth trend, and commodity consumption will maintain a moderate growth.

　　Experts said that the current demand growth rate is still insufficient, and it is necessary to continuously enhance the confidence of enterprises and markets. At the same time, firmly grasp the key link of expanding domestic demand, accelerate the activation of the domestic market, and fully release the economic growth potential of China. (Reporter)

Palm oil, as one of the most important edible oils in the world, its output fluctuation has a profound impact on the global edible oil market. The reduction of palm oil production will not only affect the economy of producing countries, but also have a chain reaction to the global edible oil supply chain. In this paper, the main factors leading to palm oil production reduction will be discussed in depth, and how these factors affect the global edible oil supply will be analyzed.

Climate change and natural disasters

Climate change is an important factor leading to palm oil production reduction. Palm trees are very sensitive to climatic conditions, especially the changes of rainfall and temperature. Extreme weather events such as drought, flood and tropical storm will directly damage the growth of palm trees and lead to a decline in production. For example, Indonesia and Malaysia, as the world’s largest palm oil producers, are often affected by El Niñ o and La Niñ a phenomena, which will lead to changes in rainfall patterns, thus affecting palm oil production.

Outbreak of pests and diseases

Palm trees are vulnerable to various diseases and insect pests, such as red palm weevil and leaf blight. These diseases and insect pests will destroy the health of palm trees, resulting in their failure to grow and bear fruit normally. Especially in large-scale plantations, the outbreak of pests and diseases may spread rapidly, resulting in large-scale production reduction.

Reduction of planting area

With the enhancement of environmental awareness, some countries began to limit the planting area of palm oil to protect forests and biodiversity. For example, Indonesia and Malaysia have implemented many policies to restrict palm cultivation in virgin forests and peatlands. Although the implementation of these policies is beneficial to environmental protection, it also directly leads to the reduction of palm oil planting area, which in turn affects the output.

labour shortage

Planting and harvesting palm oil requires a lot of labor. However, with the rising labor costs and the declining interest of the younger generation in agricultural work, many plantations are facing the problem of labor shortage. The shortage of labor force will lead to the decline of planting and harvesting efficiency, which will affect the output of palm oil.

Effect of palm oil production reduction on global edible oil supply

The reduction of palm oil production will directly affect the supply and price of global edible oil market. Because palm oil plays an important role in the global edible oil market, its production reduction will lead to tight market supply and rising prices. The following are the main impacts of palm oil production reduction on global edible oil supply:

To sum up, there are various reasons for palm oil production reduction, including climate change, pests and diseases, reduced planting area and labor shortage. These factors will not only affect the production of palm oil, but also have a profound impact on the global edible oil market. Understanding these factors and their effects is very important for investors, producers and consumers.

　　The second volume of The Supreme Leader’s Talks on Governing the Country reflects the development context and main contents of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, and is an authoritative reader to thoroughly study and understand the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era and the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The book is divided into 17 topics, among which "Adhering to and Developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics and Realizing the Chinese Dream of the Great Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation" is the first topic, which belongs to the general introduction and is also a red line throughout the book. We should closely combine the study of the second volume of the Supreme Leader’s Talks on Governing the Country with the study, propaganda and implementation of the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, deeply understand and firmly grasp the theme of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and continue to write a great article on upholding and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era with a never-ending mental state and an indomitable attitude.

　　Socialism with Chinese characteristics is a road to revival that has been explored through painstaking efforts.

　　Realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the greatest dream of the Chinese nation in modern times. Once established, the Communist Party of China (CPC) shouldered the historical mission of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation without hesitation, and led the people to open up the right path of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road through continuous struggle and unremitting exploration. As Comrade Supreme Leader pointed out in the article "Do not forget your initiative mind, Go Forward": "Socialism with Chinese characteristics did not fall from the sky, but was the fundamental achievement made by the party and the people at great cost."

　　"Socialism with Chinese characteristics bears the ideals and explorations of several generations of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people, entrusts with the long-cherished wishes and expectations of countless people with lofty ideals, and embodies the struggles and sacrifices of hundreds of millions of people. It is an inevitable choice for the social development of China in modern times." This was pointed out by the Supreme Leader in the article "Carry forward the Great Long March Spirit and Walk Today’s Long March Road". The history of China since modern times is unforgettable, and the conclusion drawn from this history is convincing. After the Opium War, China fell into a dark situation of internal and external troubles. For the sake of national rejuvenation, countless people with lofty ideals have waged an epic struggle and made various attempts, but ultimately failed to change the social nature of old China and the tragic fate of the people of China. The birth of the Communist Party of China (CPC) brought light and hope to the stormy old China. Our party United and led the people to find a correct revolutionary road of encircling cities with rural areas and seizing political power by armed forces, thus completing the new-democratic revolution. After the founding of New China, our party United and led the people to complete the socialist revolution, establish the basic socialist system, promote socialist construction, complete the most extensive and profound social changes in the history of the Chinese nation, lay a fundamental political premise and institutional foundation for all development and progress in contemporary China, realize the great leap of the Chinese nation from continuous decline in modern times to fundamental reversal of destiny and continuous prosperity, and start a great journey to realize national rejuvenation along the socialist road.

　　Comrade Supreme Leader pointed out: "The direction determines the road, and the road determines the fate." Since the reform and opening-up, our Party has United and led the people to break down all ideological and institutional obstacles that hinder the development of the country and the nation, neither taking the old road of being closed and rigid, nor taking the evil road of changing the flag and changing the flag. It has resolutely opened up the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, which has enabled China to catch up with the times in great strides and usher in the bright future of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. In order to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, our party has never changed its mind, never wavered in its determination, dared to face twists and turns, dared to correct mistakes, United and led the people to overcome difficulties and forge ahead, created one miracle after another in history, and made Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s road wider and wider.

　　Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the theme of all the party’s theories and practices since the reform and opening up.

　　Comrade Supreme Leader pointed out in the article "Hold high the great banner of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and strive to win the victory of a well-off society in an all-round way and realize the Chinese dream" that "Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the theme of all the theories and practices of the Party since the reform and opening up". This is not only a scientific summary of the great course of reform and opening up, but also points out the direction for building a well-off society in an all-round way and building a socialist modern power in an all-round way.

　　From a theoretical perspective. Our Party has continuously promoted theoretical innovation on the basis of practice, and successively founded Deng Xiaoping Theory, Theory of Three Represents and Scientific Outlook on Development, and systematically answered a series of major questions such as what socialism is, how to build socialism, what kind of party to build, how to build it, what kind of development to achieve and how to develop it, so as to guide new practice with developing Marxism. There is no end to practice and no end to theoretical innovation. Comrade Supreme Leader emphasized in the article "Continue to Promote the Modernization and Popularization of Marxism in China" that "persistently promote the China, modernization and popularization of Marxism, so that Marxism can radiate more brilliant truth". Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, to meet the requirements of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s entry into a new era, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has adhered to the guidance of Marxism–Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, Theory of Three Represents and Scientific Outlook on Development, persisted in emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts, advancing with the times, seeking truth from facts and being pragmatic, adhered to dialectical materialism and historical materialism, and closely integrated with the new era conditions and practical requirements. Deepen the understanding of communist party’s ruling law, socialist construction law and human social development law with a brand-new vision, carry out arduous theoretical exploration, achieve significant theoretical innovation results, and create the Supreme Leader’s New Era Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought.This paper systematically answered the major issues of the new era, such as what kind of Socialism with Chinese characteristics to adhere to and develop, and how to adhere to and develop Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and realized the Party’s guiding ideology to keep pace with the times again.

　　From a practical point of view. "Socialism with Chinese characteristics is not only a great cause that we must constantly advance, but also a fundamental guarantee for us to open up the future." This was pointed out by the Supreme Leader in the article "Do not forget your initiative mind, Go Forward". Over the past 40 years of reform and opening-up, profound changes have taken place in the world, the national conditions and the party’s situation. Several generations of central leading collectives of the Party have United and led the whole party and the people of the whole country to explore, combined theory with practice, persisted with development, inherited with innovation, and always planned and deployed the work closely around the theme of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. The Socialism with Chinese characteristics road opened in this process is the only way to realize socialist modernization and create a better life for the people. The formed Socialism with Chinese characteristics theory system is the correct theory to guide the party and the people to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The established Socialism with Chinese characteristics system is the fundamental institutional guarantee for the development and progress of contemporary China. The developed Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture is a powerful spiritual force that inspires the whole party and people of all ethnic groups to forge ahead courageously. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has firmly grasped the theme of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, promoted the overall layout of the "five in one" as a whole, and coordinated the promotion of the "four comprehensive" strategic layout, which has led to historic changes and achievements in the cause of the party and the state and pushed Socialism with Chinese characteristics into a new era.

　　Continue to write a good article on upholding and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.

　　Comrade Supreme Leader has repeatedly stressed that upholding and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics is a great article, and the task of our generation of communist party people is to continue to write this great article. He also said: "Our generation has inherited the cause of our predecessors, is struggling today, and must open up the road of tomorrow." We should conscientiously study and implement these important expositions, unify our thoughts and actions with the spirit of the 19th Party Congress, and constantly push forward the cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics at a new historical starting point.

　　Arm the mind, guide practice and promote work with Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era. Comrade Supreme Leader pointed out in the article "Do not forget your initiative mind, Go Forward" that "you can be sober in theory and firm in politics". The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China established Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought, the supreme leader in the new era, as the guiding ideology that our party must adhere to for a long time, and in party constitution, this important thought was established as the party’s action guide together with Marxism–Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, Theory of Three Represents and Scientific Outlook on Development. We should thoroughly study and understand the rich connotation and spiritual essence of the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, so as to arm our minds, guide practice and promote our work.

　　Fulfill the historical mission of communist party people in the new era. Today, we are closer, more confident and capable of achieving the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than at any time in history. However, as the supreme leader comrade pointed out in the article "Deeply Understanding the Situation in the Decisive Stage of Building a Well-off Society in an All-round Way", "The road ahead is not smooth" and "All comrades in the Party must make full ideological preparations and work preparations, recognize the situation clearly, strengthen their confidence and continue their tenacious struggle". To realize the great dream, we must carry out a great struggle, fully understand the long-term, complex and arduous nature of the great struggle, carry forward the spirit of struggle, improve our struggle skills, and constantly win new victories in the great struggle. To realize the great dream, we must build a great project, constantly strengthen the party’s political leadership, ideological leadership, mass organization and social appeal, and ensure that the party will always maintain its vigorous vitality and strong combat effectiveness. To realize the great dream, we must advance the great cause, strengthen the "four self-confidences" more consciously, maintain political determination, persist in doing things to revitalize the country, and always adhere to and develop Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

　　Adapt to the new requirements put forward by the changes of the main contradictions in our society. Comrade Supreme Leader pointed out: "Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and the main contradiction in our society has been transformed into the contradiction between the people’s growing need for a better life and the unbalanced development." This change is a historic change that concerns the overall situation and puts forward many new requirements for upholding and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics. On the basis of continuing to promote development, we should focus on solving the problem of insufficient development imbalance, vigorously improve the quality and efficiency of development, better meet the growing needs of the people in economic, political, cultural, social and ecological aspects, and better promote the all-round development of people and social progress. At the same time, we should see that the changes in the main contradictions in our society have not changed our judgment on the historical stage of socialism in China, the basic national conditions that China is still in the primary stage of socialism for a long time, and China’s international status as the largest developing country in the world has not changed. The whole party should firmly grasp the basic national condition of the primary stage of socialism, firmly base itself on the greatest reality of the primary stage of socialism, firmly adhere to the party’s basic line, the lifeline of the party and the country, and the happiness line of the people, and unite and lead the people of all ethnic groups in the country to fight for building China into a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modernization power.

　　Seriously implement the major strategic arrangements of the 19 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to build a socialist modernization power in two steps in the middle of this century, which further enriched and developed the strategic thinking of China’s modernization, and completely outlined the timetable and road map for building a socialist modernization country in an all-round way. Implementing this major strategic arrangement is not only a complex systematic project, but also a long-term struggle process. The key is to maintain strategic strength and endurance, hammer after hammer, and draw a blueprint to the end. It is necessary to unify thoughts and actions, closely link with the realities of various regions and fields, and implement this major strategic arrangement into concrete ideas, measures and actions. At the same time, we should face up to outstanding problems and contradictions, focus on key points, fill shortcomings and strong and weak items, and promote higher quality, more efficient, fairer and more sustainable development. We must unswervingly manage the party strictly and comprehensively, seize the leading role of the party’s political construction, continuously improve the party’s ruling ability and leadership level, and provide a strong political guarantee for winning the Chinese dream of building a well-off society in an all-round way and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　(Author: Xia Chuntao Unit: China Academy of Social Sciences Supreme Leader New Era Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought Research Center)

　　"Seeds are the key to China’s food security. Only by holding the seeds of China with your own hands can you stabilize China’s rice bowl and achieve food security. "

　　On April 10th, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader, who was inspecting Hainan, came to Yazhouwan Seed Laboratory in Sanya City as the first stop to learn about Hainan’s support for seed industry innovation, and once again pointed out the strategic significance of seeds to China’s rice bowl and food security.

　　Four years ago, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited Hainan and made a special trip to Nanfan Scientific and Research Breeding Base, stressing that "we must make up our minds to develop China’s seed industry".

　　Earlier, when he jumped the queue in northern Shaanxi, worked as secretary of the county party Committee in Hebei and worked in Fujian, the top leaders had an indissoluble bond with seed industry and Hainan South Breeding.

　　A small seed, why let the general secretary care about it?

　　"A seed can change a world, and a technology can create a miracle." As early as the Central Rural Work Conference in December 2013, the general secretary’s words revealed the true meaning.

　　Recently, the Supreme Leader’s General Secretary frequently mentioned "seeds" on important occasions, from which we can observe a trajectory of "accelerating" the layout of seeds:

　　— — In December 2020, the Central Economic Work Conference proposed to solve the problems of seeds and cultivated land. At the Central Rural Work Conference in the same year, the General Secretary emphasized the early realization of independent and controllable provenance of important agricultural products;

　　— — In May, 2021, during the inspection in Henan, it was pointed out that we should start with cultivating good seeds, strengthen the technical research of improved varieties, and rely on China seeds to ensure food security in China;

　　— — In July 2021, when presiding over the twentieth meeting of the Central Committee for Deep Reform, he emphasized that "the safety of provenance should be raised to a strategic height related to national security, and efforts should be concentrated on solving problems, filling shortcomings, strengthening advantages and controlling risks";

　　— — In October, 2021, in the Yellow River Delta agricultural high-tech industrial demonstration zone, it was emphasized that the concept of breeding should be changed, from controlling saline-alkali land to breeding saline-alkali tolerant plants to adapting to saline-alkali land.

　　— — During the two sessions of the National People’s Congress in 2022, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that "promoting the construction of a major national innovation platform in the field of seed industry" and "strengthening the collection, protection, development and utilization of germplasm resources and accelerating the pace of industrialization of biological breeding";

　　… …

　　From changing the concept of breeding to ensuring food security, from promoting platform construction to industrialization of biological breeding … … Behind the general secretary’s repeated mention, there are profound considerations at the global level.

　　A seed, connected with "the country’s biggest", is related to the initiative of food security.

　　In the seed quality testing center of Liaoning East Asia Seed Industry Co., Ltd., the staff checked the experimental results of corn seed germination (photo taken on March 16, 2020). Xinhua News Agency reporter Yang Qing photo

　　More than one billion people need to eat, which is the biggest national condition in our country. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that improved varieties play a key role in promoting grain production.

　　In recent years, China’s grain yield has been greatly improved, and more than 50% is attributed to variety improvement. Taking stock of the seed property in China, it can be found that the planting area of self-selected varieties of crops in China accounts for more than 95%, and it has been achieved that "China mainly uses China seeds". At the same time, China’s soybean and corn are affected by breeding and cultivation, and the current yield per unit area is only about 60% of that of the United States.

　　"The farmer said, ‘ A good son should be a good mother, plant more crops ’ ，‘ If you don’t choose seeds for farming, you will be exhausted ’ 。” General Secretary of the Supreme Leader once vividly pointed out the importance of planting land and selecting good seeds.

　　Seeds are the "chips" of agriculture. Seed is the key to produce more and better grain on limited cultivated land.

　　A seed carries the hope of securing China’s rice bowl.

　　Looking at the present and future, the pattern of tight balance between grain supply and demand in China has not changed. In the future, the demand for grain will continue to increase, and the tight balance between supply and demand will become more and more tight. In addition, the international situation is complex and severe, and the string of ensuring food security must always be very tight.

　　　A seed, connected with the key to creating miracles, is related to building a strong country in science and technology.

　　"To solve the problem of eating, the fundamental way out lies in technology." General Secretary of Supreme Leader attaches great importance to the scientific and technological innovation of seed industry.

　　This time in Hainan, the General Secretary focused on the situation of seed industry innovation. He emphasized that seed sources should be autonomous and controllable, and seed science and technology should be self-reliant and self-reliant. This is a strategic event.

　　Independent innovation is the key to turning over the seed industry.

　　As early as several decades ago, the supreme leader recognized the important role of science and technology in promoting agricultural development. When he first arrived in Liangjiahe, he actively studied breeding knowledge during the period when he was sent to the seed production station to study the cultivation of improved varieties. He also took notes with a small notebook and went back to the cave to tell everyone about seed production when he had the opportunity.

　　"As a big agricultural country, we must not fall behind. We must adhere to the self-reliance of agricultural science and technology and accelerate the key core technologies of agriculture. " At the Central Rural Work Conference held in December 2020, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized this.

　　　A seed, connected with agricultural modernization, is related to the good life of ordinary people.

　　The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader once said with emotion, "I have thought it over and over again, and I feel that one thing must be clear, that is, agricultural modernization is based on seeds." "This equipment and that equipment, this condition and that condition, it is difficult to realize agricultural modernization without fine varieties!"

　　Seed industry is at the source of the whole industrial chain of agriculture, and it is a symbolic and leading project to build modern agriculture.

　　The 20th meeting of the Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform held in July, 2021 deliberated and adopted the Action Plan for Seed Industry Revitalization, which provided a road map and task book for promoting China to move from a big seed industry country to a strong seed industry country.

　　Hundreds of millions of farmers are moving towards comprehensive modernization at the same time, which can release huge consumption and investment demand. Promoting the revitalization of seed industry is inevitable to draw a magnificent new picture of rural revitalization.

　　We are moving towards the goal of the second century, and we must proceed from better meeting the needs of the people for a better life and ensure the effective supply of all kinds of food, such as grain.

　　Variety is the key to carry rice bags and vegetable baskets well. The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that at present, the food consumption structure of urban and rural residents is constantly upgrading. In the future, the supply of agricultural products should be guaranteed not only in quantity, but also in diversity and quality. It is necessary to further promote the structural reform of the agricultural supply side and promote variety cultivation, quality improvement, brand building and standardized production.

　　Resolutely turning over the seed industry is undoubtedly an important foundation for realizing agricultural modernization and meeting people’s needs for a better life.

　　However, the revitalization of seed industry is by no means an overnight success. As the General Secretary emphasized during his inspection tour in Hainan, "It takes ten years to sharpen a sword, and it will take a long time to do a good job in this great event."

Science and technology is an important means to fight the COVID-19 epidemic. The sudden epidemic has pressed the "pause button" for many industries, and also pressed the "fast forward button" for the digital economy.

The integrated application of blockchain technology plays an important role in new technological innovation and industrial transformation. Telemedicine, sunshine donation, bidding on the cloud … Blockchain technology uses its characteristics of decentralization, non-tampering, traceability, etc., and tries to prevent and control the epidemic situation and resume production. However, as a new technology, blockchain also exposed problems such as weak foundation and insufficient coordination in the epidemic examination.

The key to medical data sharing and epidemic prevention materials traceability blockchain opens the door to trust.

At the end of March, Mr. Xu, a resident of Shou ‘an Town, Pujiang County, Sichuan Province, developed a cough and fever and went to the county hospital nearby. Different from the past, Mr. Xu’s diagnostic data was labeled as "invisible label". With the help of blockchain technology, experts from Chengdu Third Hospital participated in online consultation, which quickly ruled out the possibility that Mr. Xu was infected with COVID-19.

"We have few local medical resources. I didn’t expect to let the provincial doctors see a doctor directly this time." Mr. Xu still feels novel when he recalls that medical experience. The telemedicine platform of the Third Hospital of Chengdu enables hospitals in areas with underdeveloped medical resources to quickly diagnose suspected cases.

What is the difference between blockchain telemedicine platforms? An Hongzhang, general manager of China Netan Blockchain R&D Center, explained: "The allocation of diagnostic income and data income, the definition of medical accident responsibility and data leakage responsibility are the blocking points of telemedicine. The essence of these obstacles is mutual distrust among medical institutions, and blockchain is used to solve trust problems."

Blockchain, which is characterized by decentralization, high transparency and non-tampering, provides a solution to the problems of data authenticity and responsibility definition, and this "key" of trust is not only used in telemedicine. Looking back at the beginning of the epidemic, there were some problems such as inefficient handling of donated materials and chaotic management in some places. How to realize the transparency of the whole process of epidemic prevention materials has become a challenge, and blockchain technology can make every step of donation traceable and supervised.

During the epidemic, the Second Hospital of Zhejiang University, which rushed to Hubei, urgently needed a batch of video collaboration equipment for remote consultation. On February 15th, Hangzhou Chengyun Technology (China) Co., Ltd. mobilized resources and donated video collaboration equipment to support remote consultation. Every circulation link of this donation information is recorded in detail on a blockchain platform initiated by Fun Chain Technology and China Xiong ‘an Group Digital City Company.

"The characteristic of the blockchain is that once it is released, it cannot be tampered with or deleted. A donation allows all sectors of society to fully supervise. We also improve the content of donation information and introduce multi-dimensional information disclosure methods such as logistics sheets, real shots of materials, and donation details to ensure the effectiveness of certification information. " Zhang Shuai, operation director of Hangzhou Fun Chain Technology Co., Ltd. said.

The reporter learned that in Shandong, Hebei, Guangdong and other places, there have also been epidemic prevention and control platforms equipped with blockchain technology, and the winding of epidemic information has strengthened the responsibility of information reporting.

Bidding on the cloud and virtual credit card blockchain inject a "booster" into the resumption of work and production.

Support the "zero contact" signing of electronic contracts, establish a mutual trust mechanism between the upstream and downstream of the supply chain, unblock the capital chain industry chain to solve the financing difficulties of small and medium-sized enterprises, and blockchain helps enterprises that return to work to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

In the past, due to information exchange, confidentiality management and contract signing, the bidding work was completed in always online. Recently, under the requirements of epidemic prevention and control, blockchain is testing water to become a "safe" for online trading information.

On February 10th, Gansu Provincial Public Resources Trading Bureau launched an online bid evaluation system to realize "bidding on the cloud". Three days after the system was launched, the online bid opening of 11 tenders of 7 traffic construction projects was completed, and more than 50 bidding enterprises participated, with a transaction amount of 1.62 billion yuan.

Li Guoren, director of the bid opening organization department of Gansu Provincial Public Resources Trading Bureau, said that all electronic data were stamped with immutable "time stamps" in the 12 trading links from enterprise bidding, expert bid evaluation to publicity results, and the transactions were automatically executed through smart contracts, so that the frozen work during the epidemic period gradually resumed. In the past, it took more than 10 hours for 100 investment enterprises to organize the bid opening on site, but now it only takes 10 minutes.

During the epidemic, many small and medium-sized enterprises were short of capital chains and faced difficulties in resuming work and production.

"Affected by the epidemic, the company’s resumption of work and production was postponed, and accounts receivable failed to pay back on schedule. The company’s main raw materials, steel, are purchased in full, resulting in tight liquidity in the first quarter. " Liu Jingtao, general manager of Shandong Ludian Line Equipment Co., Ltd. said. Since then, the company initiated a loan application through the supply chain financial service platform of State Grid E-commerce Company, and uploaded purchase orders, accounts receivable documents and other materials according to the system guidance, and successfully loaned 2 million yuan.

Dong Wang, head of State Grid Blockchain Technology Co., Ltd., said: "Because the operation records of each loan will be stored in financial institutions synchronously, risk control events can be found in time, the financial risk of’ one loan for more’ can be avoided, and trust can be transformed into confidence. Using blockchain technology, we have realized enterprise information sharing, transparency and process visualization in the power grid supply chain, so that small and medium-sized enterprises can obtain accurate financial support. "

In addition to financing, bidding and other applications, the blockchain of creditor’s rights and debts platform, real estate registration information platform and credit "green channel" has also appeared in Beijing, Zhejiang and other places, providing new ideas for resuming work and production.

Blockchain application still needs to be explored and infrastructure construction needs to be improved.

Compared with new technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data and cloud computing, the application of blockchain technology in epidemic situation is still in its infancy. Many interviewed experts believe that blockchain technology is actively looking for appropriate business application scenarios, and core technical issues still need to be broken.

"Due to the lack of cross-regional data sharing and technical collaboration platforms, the blockchain technical standards in different provinces and cities are different, and the data coordination of multi-party entities is difficult. At present, the nationwide data exchange on the’ health code’ chain has not been realized." An Hongzhang said that the blockchain should have become the key technology to solve the problem of mutual trust in health data among provincial migrants, so the infrastructure construction of the blockchain should be promoted.

In addition, blockchain technology still lacks "killer" applications to promote more industries to achieve "blockchain+".

"The large-scale application of blockchain, the most important thing is to solve the integration of offline system and online system. At present, this technology has just started, and it also faces basic technical bottlenecks such as performance and privacy protection, and faces difficulties such as limited cooperation with other technologies. " Zhang Shuai said.

Dong Wang believes that the blockchain can mainly solve four problems: first, it can solve the problem of fairness, justice and openness; second, it can solve the problem of great collaboration and cooperation between upstream and downstream industries; third, it can solve the problem of data generation, confirmation and exchange; and fourth, it can solve the problem of tamper prevention and strong supervision in production safety.

However, the application of blockchain is still in its infancy, and various application models still need to be continuously explored. On the one hand, the blockchain technology is not mature in terms of system stability and application security. On the other hand, it is costly for customers to join the blockchain system.

Zhu Yan, president of Tsinghua University Internet Industry Research Institute, believes that the development of blockchain needs more policy environment and industrial ecology.
