Ministry of Commerce: Making Policy "Combination Boxing" and Striving to Stabilize the Basic Market of Foreign Investment and Foreign Trade

  CCTV News:On April 10th, the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism held a press conference. Ren Hongbin, Assistant Minister of Commerce, and Li Xinggan, Director of Foreign Trade Department, introduced relevant measures to stabilize foreign trade and answered questions from reporters.

  Ren Hongbin, Assistant Minister of Commerce, said that since the beginning of this year, affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, the development of foreign trade has faced severe challenges that have not been seen for many years. According to customs statistics, from January to February, China’s import and export, export and import decreased by 9.6%, 15.9% and 2.4% respectively in terms of RMB.

  At present, the situation of domestic epidemic prevention and control continues to improve, and foreign trade enterprises have resumed their work and production in an orderly manner. However, the global epidemic has accelerated its spread, which has brought great impact on the global economy and trade. Judging from the recent investigation of key provinces and cities, import and export chambers of commerce and key enterprises by the Ministry of Commerce, foreign trade enterprises generally face many problems such as cancellation or postponement of orders in hand, difficulty in signing new orders, and poor logistics and transportation.

  In the face of the severe foreign trade situation, the State Council timely introduced policies and measures to stabilize foreign trade. On March 10th, the the State Council executive meeting deliberated and adopted measures such as improving export tax rebate, increasing foreign trade credit and increasing export credit insurance support. On April 7th, the executive meeting of the State Council once again launched a series of policies to stabilize foreign trade, such as setting up a comprehensive cross-border e-commerce test zone, supporting the development of processing trade, holding an online Canton Fair, etc., and made a policy "combination boxing" to try to stabilize the basic foreign trade.

How to prevent and control the epidemic during the Spring Festival? Come and see the press conference on January 19th!

The State Council joint prevention and control mechanism held a press conference on January 19th to introduce the situation of epidemic prevention and control during the Spring Festival. Let’s look at it together-

At present, the "Deltarjon" mutant has not been detected in China.

Recently, the "Deltarchon" strain was detected in Thailand, which is a recombinant of Omicron mutant BA.4, BA.5 and Delta mutant AY.45, and was named XAY.2 in international classification. The strain was first discovered in South Africa on August 31, 2022, and is currently monitored in 9 countries and regions around the world. Since December 2022, a few countries, mainly Denmark, have shown an upward trend. At present, there are not enough data on the spread, pathogenicity and immune escape ability of the virus.

At present, the mutant of XAY.2 has not been detected in China. We will continue to follow the international trends, further strengthen the monitoring of imported cases and local cases in Covid-19, and carry out analysis and judgment in time.

The provinces have passed the peak of fever clinic, emergency and severe patients.

Generally speaking, the medical treatment of infected people in Covid-19 is smooth and orderly, and the daily diagnosis and treatment services are gradually recovering.

The provinces have passed three peaks, namely, the peak of fever clinic, the peak of emergency treatment and the peak of severe patients. The number of fever outpatients in China reached its peak on December 23rd, 2022, and then continued to decline. By January 17th, it was 94% lower than the peak, and it had dropped to the level before December 7th. The number of emergency patients in China reached a peak on January 2, 2023, and then continued to decline, with a decrease of 44% on January 17. The number of severe positive patients in hospitals in China reached its peak on January 5, and then continued to decline, with a decrease of 44.3% on January 17.

Actively promote the full coverage of all village clinics in rural areas with oxygen meters and oxygen generators.

In view of the outstanding shortage of oxygen meters and oxygen generators in rural areas, many departments actively promote the realization of "two full coverage". The first is the full coverage of oxygen meters in all village clinics in rural areas, and the second is the full coverage of oxygen generators in all township hospitals in rural areas. Recently, nearly 600,000 village clinics in China have been equipped with more than 1.17 million oxygen meters and oxygen generators for free. The first batch of oxygen generators for 832 poverty-stricken county township hospitals has reached 77%, and the second batch of oxygen generators for other township hospitals has been delivered one after another since January 17.

As of January 19th, grass-roots medical and health institutions across the country were equipped with 2.478 million oxygen meters, and grass-roots medical and health institutions across the country, including community health service centers and township hospitals, were equipped with 191,000 oxygen generators.

Every township health center is equipped with at least one ambulance.

In terms of referral preparation, all localities have expanded 120 transport capacity and telephone landline, and each township health center is equipped with at least one ambulance. At the same time, social organizations, units and individuals are also used to set up non-emergency transport teams by strengthening organizational guidance to ensure the transport needs of patients. Medical institutions at all levels have established a green channel for referral to ensure that patients can be transferred to higher-level medical institutions for timely treatment.

At present, it has entered the peak of passenger flow before the Spring Festival

January 19th is the 13th day in Spring Festival travel rush, and it has entered the peak of passenger flow before the Spring Festival. On the whole, the national railways, highways, waterways and civil aviation are running smoothly, with adequate capacity allocation, orderly services and strong emergency support, and the national security situation is generally stable. Coal, grain, medical supplies and other key materials are transported smoothly.

According to the data of the the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism Spring Festival travel rush Work Class, as of January 18th, the national railways, highways, waterways and civil aviation have sent 480 million passengers, a decrease of 47.3% compared with the same period in 2019 and an increase of 47.1% compared with the same period in 2022.

Open a special area to provide services for drivers and passengers infected with Covid-19 or unwell.

Open a special area in the qualified expressway service area to provide services for drivers and passengers who are infected with Covid-19 or feel unwell. At the same time, strengthen the docking and coordination with neighboring medical institutions, improve the emergency plan, and arrange for drivers and passengers with urgent needs to get medical assistance in time. Here, I appeal to the majority of drivers and friends to do a good job in travel planning and health monitoring before traveling, try to travel at the wrong peak, go to crowded places as little as possible, and don’t travel with illness.

It is suggested that the elderly should try not to participate in large-scale family gathering activities.

For the elderly, especially those with basic diseases, people who have not been infected or vaccinated, we should focus on strengthening protection. First, in the early days of returning home, that is, just after returning home, returnees should wear masks and pay attention to some cough etiquette when they are in contact with middle-aged and elderly people at home. The second is to strengthen health monitoring. While paying attention to their own health monitoring, they should pay close attention to the physical condition of the elderly. If there are symptoms related to COVID-19 infection or positive antigen and nucleic acid test, they should seek medical treatment in time. Third, when eating at home, it is recommended to use public chopsticks and spoons. Fourth, it is suggested that the elderly should try not to participate in large-scale family gathering activities. If the number of people is reduced and the dinner time is shortened, the dining distance should be kept reasonably and the protection should be made. Fifth, it is necessary to minimize trips to crowded places and avoid long-distance travel. If you need to go out, you should wear a mask scientifically and regularly. When wearing a mask, you should pay attention to the tightness of the mask, cover your mouth and nose and fit your face. In addition, you should wear a mask of medical surgery or above when you go to crowded places and places with high risk of infection. In addition, you should change the mask in time and pay attention to hand hygiene and cough etiquette.

91-year-old man "involved in black"? "Focus Interview" talks about grasping the scale of anti-vice.

The police report showed that the 91-year-old man was listed as a suspect.

  Recently, an 81-year-old couple and a 54-year-old son in Pizhou City, Jiangsu Province were listed as suspects in the anti-gang activities, and the local public security bureau also offered a reward of 1000 yuan to 10,000 yuan to collect clues about their involvement in the crime. This matter quickly fermented in the field of public opinion, and some netizens hotly debated that "this is probably the oldest ‘ Black ’ Personnel ".

  The Public Security Bureau of Pizhou City responded quickly on July 19: two elderly sons were instructed by their sons to occupy the village collective houses for a long time without any reason, and the three repeatedly went to the police station to insult the police and block the investigation.

  Procurator-General of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate: Every criminal is spared, and every criminal is not spared.

  "It doesn’t mean that you won’t be suspected of committing a crime when you are older." The local police responded to the media like this. Although there is nothing wrong with the truth, "evil forces" is not a small charge, so we must be cautious when deducting it.

On July 18th, "Focus Interview" broadcast the program "Sweeping the evil and eliminating the evil".

  On July 18th, "Focus Interview" broadcast the program "Sweeping the Black and Eliminating Evil", which discussed exactly how to judge and grasp the scale in the process of sweeping the black.

  At the beginning of the program, three key terms were put forward: underworld, evil group and evil force. These are three types of crimes with decreasing severity, and the judgment standards and sentencing are also different.

  The program cited a case to illustrate. In Fengcheng Reservoir, Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province, some people had a dispute over the right to operate the reservoir. On one side is the reservoir operator named Luming, and the name of the dispute with him is hao yang. Since 2010, hao yang has been hoping to get the right to operate the reservoir from Luming, so many people have been gathered from the society to harass.

  In the most serious case, hao yang gathered several people to the scene with clubs to make a nuisance, and had a fight with several workers under Luming, injuring the workers and Luming. There were five cases that constituted illegal crimes, and they were convicted of crimes of suspected provocation and affray.

  Hao yang gangs mainly obtain economic benefits through usury, and have repeatedly committed crimes. In order to collect usury, the debtor is often forced by soft violence such as threats and intimidation, and once he even illegally detained the other party in the guest room for four days.

  In addition, some hao yang gang members also participated in the crime committed by the gang headed by Fang Yadong, forming another criminal group. After mastering a large amount of evidence, in April 2018, hao yang and Fang Yadong were listed as the first batch of triad-related cases in Jiangsu Province, and finally 36 illegal and criminal facts were determined.

  Although the facts of the crime have been ascertained, both parties have different views on the qualitative and public prosecution of the case. The public security organs believe that this belongs to organized crime of underworld nature, while the procuratorial organs believe that it belongs to evil criminal groups. Because from the aspects of organization, economy and harmfulness, it is not enough for the standard of black-related.

  After repeated investigation and communication, the procuratorate decided to prosecute according to "evil-related". Defendants hao yang and Fang Yadong were sentenced to five years’ imprisonment for the crime of affray, the crime of stirring up trouble, and the combined punishment of several crimes. However, if they are classified as "organized crimes of underworld nature", the sentencing will be heavier.

  The case reported in Focus Interview comes from the Selected Typical Cases of Procuratorial Organs’ Special Struggle to Eliminate Evil (Series 3) recently issued by the Supreme People’s Procuratorate (hereinafter referred to as the Selected Works). This edition of Selected Works contains a total of five cases, all of which are selected according to Zhang Jun, Procurator-General of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate’s requirements of "not letting go of all black and evil crimes, but not making up all black and evil crimes", aiming at strictly following the principles of legality, judging evidence, excluding illegal evidence, procedural justice and so on, and standardizing handling cases according to law.

  National Anti-triad Office: Minors, the elderly and the disabled should be especially careful when identifying evil forces.

  While the iron is hot, you need to be hard. Since the launch of the "anti-vice" campaign, the National Anti-vice Office has repeatedly issued guidance opinions and material compilations to ensure that the special struggle against vice has always been promoted on the track of the rule of law, and to ensure the principle of "neither being degraded nor artificially inflated".

  For example, on April 9 this year, the Supreme People’s Court, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Justice jointly issued four opinions, namely, Opinions on Handling Criminal Cases of Evil Forces, Opinions on Handling Criminal Cases of Routine Loans, Opinions on Handling Property in Criminal Cases of Evil Forces, Opinions on Handling Criminal Cases of Soft Violence, and so on, which were released to the public and provided for severely punishing crimes committed by evil forces according to law.

  Among them, the Opinions on Several Issues Concerning Handling Criminal Cases of Evil Forces clearly stipulates the identification standards, relevant requirements and specific implementation of handling criminal cases of evil forces.

  The "Opinions" pointed out that to identify "evil forces", we should consider factors such as "more than three people, the participants are relatively fixed" and "often gathering together to commit illegal and criminal activities in a certain area or industry for many times by violence, threats or other means".

  Article 12 of the Opinion also clearly stipulates that if all members or ringleaders, pickers and other important members are minors, the elderly and the disabled, they should be particularly cautious when identifying evil forces and criminal groups of evil forces.

  After the promulgation of these opinions, it has played a great role in law enforcement for judicial personnel to comply with regulations and reasonably enforce the law. Liang Jian, vice president of Criminal Court No.1 of Zhejiang Higher People’s Court, once told the media: "The trial and judgment of each case will play a leading role in the direction. Therefore, we should be particularly cautious in handling cases of eliminating evils. ‘ Don’t pull high or lower ’ " .

  Zhang Jun, the Procurator-General of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, repeatedly stressed: "We should adhere to the rule of law thinking and the rule of law, and strengthen the awareness of procedure and evidence.". This is also the meaning of "special caution".

  In the Selected Editions issued by the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, every case involving black and evil has been sorted out and discussed in detail according to this standard, forming a complete evidence material, ensuring "accurate and solid". For example, in the case of "Cheng Moumou, Huang Moumou and other 14 people organizing, leading and participating in underworld organizations", in addition to the crimes that have been identified, according to the recommendations of the procuratorial organs, the public security organs set up a special case-handling team to supplement 117 volumes of evidence materials.

  If these two elderly people are really "involved in triad activities", the Public Security Bureau of Pizhou City should, in accordance with the spirit of the opinions of the National Anti-triad Office, release more detailed and powerful criminal evidence to the public in the follow-up investigation, clarify doubts to the public in time, and enforce the law transparently.

  "Every case can stand the test of history and law, so that the social atmosphere can be clearer and the people can gain a sense of happiness and security, which is more substantial, more secure and more sustainable." At the end of this issue of Focus Interview, the host made a conclusion with such a paragraph.

Support online ordering! Some Shanghai stores of KFC and McDonald’s have resumed business, and Shangchao is also speeding up.

Chain catering: Some stores have resumed business and support take-away orders.

During the epidemic, many Shanghai residents changed their tastes by eating fast food chains such as KFC or McDonald’s. Starting this week, these needs are expected to be gradually met.

The Paper reporter learned from KFC that on April 10th, seven KFC stores were the first businesses to resume business in Songjiang District. Affected by the epidemic, at present, all stores only support delivery orders, and the products that can be ordered have not been fully restored.

It is understood that because KFC stores require closed-loop management, employees who are confirmed to be on duty should go through the relevant procedures the night before, and then all will move to the store until they are unsealed and cannot leave. KFC said that other stores are also preparing for the resumption of work and will open one after another.

"The Dongkuo store in Xuhui District is open!" On April 10th, a Burger King employee said that with the strong support of government departments, the first Burger King restaurant has officially resumed business since April.

Since then, there have been No.1 shop in Tianyaoqiao Road, Xujiahui, Minhang Jiaotong University, McDonald’s Drive-thru in Meijiabang Road, Mei Chuan Road and Changqiao Store in densely populated areas.

It is reported that residents can place an order in McDonald’s App, and 3 copies can be delivered. "Due to the limited capacity during the epidemic, residents place orders on a first-come-first-served basis." A McDonald’s employee said that there are currently more than 200 employees and delivery staff supporting the guarantee.

According to the news of Shanghai Consumer Protection Committee on April 12th, many take-away merchants have resumed business, including more than 200 stores such as Zuoting Youyuan Fresh Beef Hot Pot (Jiangqiao Wanda Store), Ziyan Baiwei Chicken Park Store in Jinshan District and Renmin South Road Store in Luckin Coffee, Fengxian District. The distribution scope of the merchants is 2 to 3 kilometers.

It should be reminded that under the epidemic situation, the main function of these chain restaurants is to guarantee supply, and only support take-away orders, not eating in the hall.

Shop under the supermarket in the prevention area: disinfection, nucleic acid and current restriction

Not only catering enterprises, but also major supermarkets actively organize qualified stores to resume business.

On April 13th, The Paper reporter learned from Bailian that Lianhua Supermarket and Century Lianhua under Bailian currently have 545 direct stores and franchise stores open to the outside world. "As more employees of stores in the prevention area return to their posts to participate in the insurance supply, the manpower that stores can invest has also increased by 20%."

At present, among the 10 stores in Songjiang District, 8 stores located in the prevention area have resumed business; Three stores in Jinshan District were also notified on April 11th to resume offline business. In addition, 39 Lianhua stores in Chongming and 9 Lianhua stores in Fengxian have resumed business.

After the resumption of work, the prevention and control of epidemic situation in stores has become a top priority for enterprises. Lianhua Supermarket and Century Lianhua said that in addition to deep disinfection every day, all offline stores also regularly disinfect weighing areas, escalators, service desks, trolleys and other areas. "Lianhua stipulates that all employees in the store must be tested and confirmed according to the government’s nucleic acid requirements before they can go to work, and wear masks all the time, and go to work after daily temperature measurement."

RT Mart Jinshan Store, which just resumed offline business at 9: 00 on April 13th, has more than 300 customers in just one morning. "Young people mainly buy ready-to-eat goods such as cola, milk and self-heating hot pot, while middle-aged and elderly people mainly buy pork, beef, vegetables and fruits."

RT Mart Jinshan Store said that all disinfection work had been completed before the store opened, and all staff members were wearing protective clothing, and the business hours were from 9: 00 to 17: 00.

Starting from 26,900, the Pentium Pony was officially launched, with a maximum cruising range of 170 kilometers.

At present, pure electric mini-cars can be seen everywhere in our domestic streets. Among them, Wuling Hongguang MINIEV has become the first choice for many young car fans because of its close price and low car cost. In the past six months, it has sold 104,660 cars, which shows its popularity in our domestic auto market. Recently, Xiaobian learned from the official FAW Pentium that its brand-new pure electric mini-car-Pentium Pony has officially ushered in the market, and the official guide price range is: 2.69-31,900 yuan. In order to meet the car purchase needs of different car fans, this new car has launched a total of three configuration models to choose from. Will its arrival become the strongest opponent of Wuling Hongguang MINIEV? Let’s take a look at it with Xiaobian.

First of all, in terms of styling design, Pentium Pony, as a pure electric mini-car, adopts the popular closed grille design, with the charging interface under the huge LOGO logo, and the sharp headlight groups on both sides, which makes it look cute and cute. It is worth mentioning that because the price of the new car is close to the people, the headlights are all halogen light sources and only equipped with slow charging interfaces, which I believe most friends can accept.

Medical Administration Hospital Authority: In recent years, the team of doctors in China has been growing and their ability level has been improving.

       CCTV News:On the afternoon of 19th, the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism held a press conference on the State Council Joint Prevention and Control to introduce the prevention and control of epidemic situation in autumn and winter, and the role played by medical and health workers in fighting the COVID-19 epidemic.

Guo Yanhong, Ombudsman of Medical Administration and Hospital Authority

Guo Yanhong, Ombudsman of Medical Administration and Hospital Authority

       Guo Yanhong, Ombudsman of the Medical Administration and Hospital Authority, said that as we all know, medical personnel are an important force in maintaining and promoting people’s health and the main force in promoting the healthy development of medical and health undertakings. The team of doctors is an important part of the medical staff in our country. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council attached great importance to the construction and development of doctors’ team, especially since the 18th National Congress, and adopted a series of effective measures to strengthen the construction of doctors’ team, especially from the aspects of practice management, education and training, financial investment and treatment guarantee, including their rewards and recognition, etc., to strengthen the implementation of work and promote the construction and development of doctors’ team.

       In the construction and development of doctors, remarkable achievements have been made in recent years. First of all, the team of doctors is growing and their ability level is improving. By the end of 2019, the total number of doctors in China reached 3.867 million, an increase of nearly 830,000 compared with 2015, an increase of 27.2%. Among the doctors, bachelor degree or above accounted for 57.4%, an increase of 8 percentage points over 2015. Second, the construction of grassroots doctors has achieved results. In our country, under the guidance of strengthening the grassroots, the construction of doctors in grassroots medical and health institutions has made great progress in recent years. By the end of 2019, the number of doctors in primary health care institutions reached 1.437 million, an increase of 335,000 or 30.4% over 2015. It can be seen that the growth of the number of grassroots doctors is much higher than that of the overall number of doctors. Third, through key support, it has also achieved results in the construction of some weak professional doctors. For example, the number of doctors who are in short supply in pediatrics and psychiatry has increased rapidly in recent years. Doctors who specialize in pediatrics have reached 234,000 in 2019. The construction, ability level, overall structure and layout of the medical team have been steadily improved, and the medical team is moving from high-speed growth to high-quality development. The majority of doctors, together with the majority of medical workers throughout the country, have also made active efforts in providing medical services and improving people’s health.In 2019, the number of medical and health institutions in China reached 8.72 billion, an increase of 4.9% compared with 2018 and 13.4% compared with 2015. In terms of the number of hospitalizations, the number of hospitalizations in medical and health institutions nationwide in 2019 was 266 million, an increase of 4.5% over 2018 and 26.3% over 2015. Judging from the overall growth of medical services, the majority of medical staff have made efforts to improve the overall medical service capacity and quality and promote the health level of the people with professional skills and knowledge.

       We hope that in the next step, all relevant departments in China will make concerted efforts with Qi Xin to build, ensure and develop the team of doctors, so as to benefit all the people with better services and make the team of doctors better contribute to the construction of a healthy China.

Farmers have been misdiagnosed as AIDS for 10 years, and their wives are separated.

  Yang Shoufa lives in his brother’s house where his family goes out to do business. Because he "feels that he has AIDS", he has never lived in a main house or a partial house, and he has never used his brother’s kitchen.

  On September 5, 2012, when Yang Shoufa was in the First People’s Hospital of Nanyang City, he inadvertently learned for the first time that he was not an AIDS patient.

  According to a diagnosis, Yang Shoufa was first diagnosed with HIV on July 15th, 2004, and the diagnosis unit was zhenping county Health and Epidemic Prevention Station (now CDC).

  Fate played a cruel joke on Yang Shoufa. In June 2004, Yang Shoufa, a 40-year-old farmer from zhenping county, Henan Province, was diagnosed as AIDS by the county CDC. In his words, from then on, "I was ruthlessly thrown into hell and lived in a world that was taboo and far away from the world like plague." Later, his wife divorced him and his children went away with his wife. Zhenping county Health Bureau reported in November 2015 that Yang Shoufa’s HIV antibody screening result was negative. However, half a year later, Yang Shoufa, who was once "born as a death row", has not yet waited for a statement.

  "What’s your disease?"

  On May 10, 2016, Yang Shoufa made his experience into a painting with white characters on a red background, and he planned to reflect the situation again. Inkjet said that being misdiagnosed as AIDS, his life "has undergone earth-shaking changes."

  Yang Shoufa is 53 years old, a native of Silizhuang Village, suburban township, zhenping county, and graduated from primary school. After they got married in 1985, they successively gave birth to a daughter and two men with their wives, and worked on construction sites during farming and slack seasons. Before being misdiagnosed as AIDS, Yang Shoufa also bought a stone crusher, which was later sold because of the bad market. "Why do you make money?" Yang Shoufa recalled that although he was not rich at that time, he was happy.

  Yang Shoufa recalled that at the end of 2003, Hu Mingdao, a village doctor, informed the health survey that he also went to the north of the village to draw blood. A few months later, Hu Mingdao went to his house and said, "What disease are you?". Because there were many AIDS cases in the village, there were repeated low-grade fever at that time. Yang Shoufa had no doubt, only felt weak all over, "I want to die."

  Hu Ming Dow said that around 1992, zhenping county sold a lot of "black blood", so many villagers were infected with AIDS; At the end of 2003, when AIDS was screened, there was a policy, which village screened out more than 20, and set up AIDS treatment points, built 5 rooms, and equipped with doctors and nurses.

  A Diagnostic Table of HIV/AIDS in Rural Areas of Henan Province shows that Yang Shoufa may be infected by "donating blood" and may be infected in "1992". Yang Shoufa recalled that at that time, he was fined for exceeding his life, and his family’s economy was tight. He sold blood once, 50 yuan. "It’s too scary to smoke two big bags at a time, and I dare not sell it again."

  According to the zhenping county Municipal Health Bureau, Yang Shoufa’s blood sampling date was December 15th, 2003, the initial screening positive date was January 18th, 2004, and the date of diagnosis (note: check the initial screening positive blood samples with different reagents) was June 23rd, 2004. "After the diagnosis, the staff of the county Chinese medicine hospital conducted an epidemiological case investigation and included it in patient management."

  "Being shunned like a plague"

  After receiving the notice, Yang Shoufa said that he wanted to commit suicide many times, and his heart was crushed by fear.

  Previously, Yang Shoufa was in great health, and he could load a car with stones every day. Later, after doing a little work, I felt pain all over. He thinks that he needs nutrition, "I don’t know which day he will live", and he eats meat crazily every day, sometimes he can eat a chicken at one meal.

  Yang Shoufa didn’t dare to tell his family. At that time, the eldest daughter and eldest son who had dropped out of school followed their wives who were working in Sichuan, and only the second son was studying in Zhenping. Yang Bao (a pseudonym), the 15-year-old eldest son, once went home and accidentally turned to Yang Shoufa’s treatment book and told his mother.

  There are no secrets in the village. A bunch of people were gossiping. As soon as Yang Shoufa arrived, people walked away. Slowly, Yang Shoufa broke off contacts with relatives and friends, and never participated in weddings and funerals in the village. When I got home, I put the gate on top.

  "Listening to the child say that her father has AIDS, this disease sounds terrible." Yang Shoufa’s wife, Li Li (a pseudonym), never went back to Zhenping until she sued for divorce in 2010. However, due to Yang’s illness, the zhenping county court did not decide to divorce. In July 2011, Li Li sued for divorce again. Finally, the zhenping county court decided to grant the divorce.

  Children seldom come back and seldom make phone calls. "I don’t want to contact them either." Asked why, Yang Shoufa was silent.

  "Can you stay healthy after taking medicine for 10 years?"

  Taking medicine every day, Yang Shoufa’s health is getting worse and worse.

  In summer, he wore a thick coat and was "as cold as a sieve". In winter, you can’t hide under the covers, you have to warm yourself in the yard, and your new shoes have been burnt twice. Trembling hands, head covering, buzzing ears, blurred eyes and poor memory.

  In September 2012, Yang Shoufa was seriously ill and went to the First People’s Hospital of Nanyang City for treatment. "I didn’t dare to say it was AIDS." The next day, he got the test results and couldn’t understand what HIV antibody negative meant. The doctor said, "It means no AIDS."

  "How is that possible? !” Yang Shoufa was surprised.

  This examination also found out that Yang Shoufa suffered from esophagitis, erosive hemorrhagic gastritis, cholecystitis, prostatic hyperplasia and other diseases.

  Yang Shoufa went to the AIDS treatment point in Shilizhuang Village for consultation. Zhang Qinze, the person in charge, said that he might have been taking anti-HIV drugs and the test results were not accurate. Subsequently, Yang Shoufa stopped taking drugs and went to several hospitals for examination within two years. The results were all negative.

  "If you are not sick but have taken medicine for 10 years, can your body not collapse?" Yang Shoufa said that seeing a doctor all the year round spent all his savings.

  In March 2016, in the suburban township government, the staff of zhenping county CDC and County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine had negotiated with Yang Shoufa and his nephew about compensation. "They said that 100,000 yuan could not be paid, so I turned my head and left." Yang Shoufa said. Around May 10th, the village party secretary asked Yang Shoufa if he could compensate 250,000 yuan. If not, he could sue. "My life was ruined, and they only lost 1.2 million yuan!" Yang Shoufa said.

  Although it has been confirmed that it was misdiagnosed, Yang Shoufa has not come out of the shadow of AIDS, and his life is still very closed.

  In addition, things have not been solved for a long time, there is no money at home, two sons are not young yet married, and they are in poor health and can’t do anything, which makes Yang Shoufa very worried. In the past two years, he often drinks because of boredom, but he can’t drink well and gets drunk once or twice.

  Last year, Yang Shoufa drank five bottles of cheap white wine, two of which were exchanged by posting advertisements on tricycles.

  Yang Shoufa once claimed to be "born as a death row". He said that today, he still can’t see hope, and he lives "people are not like people, ghosts are not like ghosts."

  ■ ask questions

  Why draw blood every year?

  Didn’t find the misdiagnosis?

  The staff of the AIDS Prevention Office of zhenping county CDC said that after the diagnosis of AIDS, the annual examination will no longer be HIV screening, but only CD4 (note: the target of HIV attack is immune cell CD4, so its test results play an important role in judging the treatment effect of AIDS), liver function and renal function, so it can’t be checked out.

  Retained blood in that year

  Why is it positive?

  On November 10, 2015, the zhenping county Municipal Health Bureau reported that on July 15, Yang Shoufa asked for HIV antibody testing, and the result was negative, but the blood sample test result of Yang Shoufa retained in 2003 was still positive; The health department of zhenping county attaches great importance to it and will apply to the higher authorities for DNA comparison. On May 12th, 2016, the deputy director of zhenping county CDC said that DNA was not detected because the blood samples were stored for too long. Guo Jiantao, the director, said that because the blood sample is stored in plasma, there is no effective component in it, and DNA cannot be extracted.

Running in the New Year, China’s foreign trade continues to break through the trend

CCTV News:Foreign trade is one of the "Troika" driving China’s economy. However, due to the complicated international situation, COVID-19 epidemic and other unexpected factors, China’s foreign trade is facing severe challenges. In the face of risk challenges, the CPC Central Committee actively deployed and calmly responded, and made "stabilizing foreign trade" a major focus of the "six stability" work. Relevant departments have also successively issued a series of policies and measures to further promote high-level opening up, support the growth of foreign trade and optimize the business environment. With the effective implementation of relevant measures, the effect of China’s foreign trade in resisting multiple pressures and increasing quality has gradually emerged. Today’s "Running in the Spring Festival" series focuses on China’s foreign trade. We focus on the following questions. What achievements has China made in foreign trade under the influence of multiple unexpected factors? How does foreign trade promote China’s economic recovery? How will China’s foreign trade continue to break through the trend in 2023?

Withstand the risk test, China’s foreign trade scale has reached a new high.

Let’s look at the first question first. The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce said on the 2nd that in 2022, China’s foreign trade stood all kinds of risk tests, and the scale reached a record high, with the import and export of goods reaching 42.1 trillion yuan, maintaining the status of the world’s first trader of goods for six consecutive years.

From the perspective of foreign trade, the scale of foreign trade reached a record high in 2022, and the import and export of goods exceeded 40 trillion yuan, an increase of 7.7%. The trade structure has also been continuously optimized, and the import and export of private enterprises has increased by 12.9%, accounting for more than 50%. Trade in services grew steadily, with the import and export of services reaching 5.98 trillion yuan, an increase of 12.9%.

In 2022, China’s foreign trade successfully achieved "stability and quality improvement""target

According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, in 2022, China’s foreign trade has withstood various risk tests and successfully achieved the goal of "maintaining stability and improving quality". Generally speaking, in 2022, China foreign trade station reached a new height, released new kinetic energy and made new contributions.

A new height, in 2022, the import and export scale of China reached a new record high, reaching 42 trillion yuan, breaking through the 40 trillion yuan mark. In dollar terms, it reached $6.3 trillion, which is a new breakthrough above the ultra-high base in 2021. China has maintained its position as the largest country in goods trade for six consecutive years.

New kinetic energy. In 2022, electric vehicles, photovoltaic products and lithium batteries will become new growth points for China’s high-tech, high-added products and lead the green transformation. In 2022, the export of electric vehicles increased by 131.8%, photovoltaic products increased by 67.8%, and lithium batteries increased by 86.7%. At the same time, new foreign trade formats such as cross-border e-commerce and market procurement trade are also booming, with the import and export scale exceeding 3 trillion yuan, accounting for more than 7% of foreign trade.

New contribution: From the domestic perspective, the contribution rate of net exports of goods and services to GDP growth reached 17.1% in 2022, driving GDP growth by 0.5 percentage points. Internationally, under the background of the turbulent global economic and trade environment, China has taken effective measures to stabilize production and export, ensuring the smooth operation of the global industrial chain supply chain.

Promote trade facilitation and take various measures to expand the cross-border use of RMB

Enterprises actively "go out to sea" to grab orders, promote economic stability and foreign trade, and the government and relevant departments also "take the initiative". A few days ago, the Ministry of Commerce and the People’s Bank of China issued a circular to further support foreign trade enterprises to expand the cross-border use of RMB and promote trade and investment facilitation.

The circular calls for facilitating the settlement of all kinds of cross-border trade and investment in RMB, and promoting banks to provide more convenient and efficient settlement services. Encourage banks to carry out overseas RMB loans to better meet the cross-border RMB investment and financing needs of enterprises. Facilitate cross-border RMB settlement of goods trade, service trade and various new trade formats, support RMB pricing settlement of bulk commodities, and support foreign investors to invest in China and reinvest in China. Efforts will be made to increase support for small and medium-sized enterprises, facilitate their use of RMB for settlement in cross-border trade and investment, avoid exchange rate risks and reduce exchange costs.

Xuan Changneng, Vice Governor of China People’s Bank:At present, nearly half of the cross-border transactions carried out by various entities in China have been settled in RMB. In the next step, the People’s Bank of China will further consolidate the institutional foundation of cross-border RMB business, improve the infrastructure construction of cross-border RMB use, and create a more friendly policy environment for domestic and foreign entities to hold and use RMB.

Liao Lin, President of China Industrial and Commercial Bank:We have set up a special financing support plan for cross-border RMB business of 450 billion yuan, focusing on supporting advanced manufacturing, strategic emerging industries, specialization and innovation, modern agriculture, green, infrastructure, Pratt & Whitney, foreign trade and foreign investment, and accurately matching preferential interest rates to fully meet the needs of market participants for cross-border investment and financing.

Vice Minister of Commerce Guo Tingting:We will continue to implement policies based on solving the "urgent difficulties and worries" of enterprises, help more enterprises to carry out cross-border RMB business, promote trade and investment facilitation, and improve the quality and level of trade and investment cooperation.

Popular science enough: Will novel coronavirus bats "lie" this time?

Coronavirus particle structure

Coronavirus particle structure

  Life is not easy, but health is the most expensive. A recent hot topic — — Novel Coronavirus, disturbing the biosphere. Today, I’ll pick up bats, civets and camels … … And novel coronavirus’s "Love and Kill".

  Two "Black History" of Coronavirus

  Coronavirus is a kind of pathogen that mainly causes respiratory and intestinal diseases. Laboratory experts have studied the morphology of viruses, and electron microscope observation shows that these viruses have spinous processes like corona on their envelopes, which looks like a crown, so it is proposed to name these viruses coronavirus.

  Coronavirus was first isolated from chickens in 1937. There are two genera of human coronavirus (HCoV): α Coronavirus and β Coronavirus. Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV) belong to β Coronavirus.

  In 1965, Tyrrell et al. isolated a virus named B814 from nasal lavage fluid of common cold patients by human embryo trachea culture. Hamer et al. isolated a similar virus from human embryonic kidney cells, and the representative strain was named 229E virus. In 1967, Mclntosh et al. isolated a batch of viruses from cold patients by embryonic trachea culture, and its representative strain was OC43 strain.

  We are no strangers to SARS and MERS. SARS spreads quickly, its condition is dangerous and its mortality rate is high. Since the outbreak in 2002, in a short period of two years, it has infected 30 countries in five continents, with more than 8,000 people infected and 774 people killed, with a fatality rate close to 10%.

  In 2012, the first human case of MERS-CoV infection occurred in Saudi Arabia. The virus is a novel coronavirus with high mortality, and it can also cause severe acute respiratory infection. The source of the virus is not completely clear at present. However, according to the genome analysis of different viruses, it is believed that MERS-CoV may come from bats and spread to camels, and camels may be the main storage hosts and animal sources of human infection. However, MERS-CoV has been popular in camels for decades, and it was not until 2012 that it first infected humans. The reason is still unclear.

  Coronavirus and its natural reservoir

Chinese chrysanthemum-headed bat

Chinese chrysanthemum-headed bat

  Coronavirus exists widely in nature, and its natural hosts include human, cattle, pigs, birds, dogs, cats, rats and bats. As the second largest mammal in the world after rodents, bats are distributed in all parts of the world except the poles, and their habitats are diverse. As a member of the biosphere, bats play an important role in maintaining ecological balance. At the same time, it is also an important virus host, carrying more than 130 kinds of viruses, including Ebola virus, Nipah virus and other virulent pathogens.

  When it comes to SARS, people will think of civets. In fact, civet cats are just "intermediaries" rather than the source of the virus. According to the data, in 2003, a research group of Hong Kong University detected SARS-CoV in civet cats and raccoons in Shenzhen animal market, Guangdong province, and the civet coronavirus was nearly 100% homologous to the coronavirus that caused SARS in humans. In the subsequent investigation, it was found that the positive rate of civet cats in the live poultry market was very high, but the civet cats in the farm were almost not positive for SARS-CoV, which indicated that the civet cats were infected with SARS-CoV only on the way to the market or in the market, but the farm was not infected. Animal experiments have proved that SARS-CoV is pathogenic to civet cats, which also supports that civet cats are not the natural hosts of SARS-CoV. Therefore, civet cats are only susceptible animals to SARS virus.

  For a new animal-derived virus, we must find its source, so what is its source? Shi Zhengli, a researcher from Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, led the team to confirm that bats are the natural hosts of SARS-like coronavirus, and through genetic information analysis and functional testing of the virus, it was further confirmed that bats in China are the natural hosts of SARS-like virus, which provided important evidence for the animal traceability of SARS-like coronavirus. Therefore, researchers believe that bats may be the natural hosts of SARS coronavirus, and civet cats are only intermediate hosts, but the current research has not revealed the relationship between civet cats and bat infection.

  Disinfection may not be "everyone is good at it"

  Boil a pot, rinse with water, spray enough disinfectant and wear N95 protective mask … … Is there a scientific basis for the disinfection and anti-virus methods commonly used by ordinary people? Coronavirus is sensitive to heat. Experiments show that SARS-CoV can be inactivated by heating at 56℃ for 90 minutes or 75℃ for 30 minutes.

  In addition, the virus is sensitive to ultraviolet rays and commonly used chemical disinfectants, such as 75% alcohol, iodophor, compound quaternary ammonium salt, chlorine-containing disinfectant, phenol disinfectant, aldehyde disinfectant, peroxide disinfectant, etc., which can inactivate the virus in a short time at the specified concentration. The virus is not resistant to acid and alkali, and is also sensitive to organic solvents such as ether and chloroform.

  Coronavirus usually causes people’s common cold, and can cause lower respiratory symptoms in adults and infants. The main clinical manifestations are fever, cough and runny nose. In severe cases, it shows acute respiratory symptoms such as laryngitis, bronchitis, bronchiolitis and pneumonia, and there are also reports that lead to gastrointestinal and nervous system symptoms. In addition, it can also cause severe acute respiratory infection in special populations such as the elderly, children and people with immunodeficiency.

  Previous research data show that patients infected with coronavirus are the main source of infection. The management of infected patients should be early detection, early reporting, early isolation and early treatment. At present, there is no specific vaccine or drug prevention method for coronavirus, and there is no approved antiviral drug for coronavirus. Patients are still mainly treated with symptomatic support.
