  Beijing, Nov. 26 (Reporter Li Jinlei) The old man was refused to show his health code when he entered the station, the 94-year-old man was lifted up in the bank for face recognition, and the old man could not use his mobile phone to pay for medical insurance … … Recently, many incidents of "old people being abandoned by high technology" have aroused great concern.

  At the the State Council policy briefing held on November 26th, the National Development and Reform Commission, the central bank and other departments responded. How to solve the problem of "digital divide" faced by the elderly? What are the practical measures? Let’s watch together.

  "The traditional way should be preserved."

  At present, the elderly population in China has exceeded 250 million. With the rapid growth of the elderly population, many elderly people can’t surf the Internet and use smart phones, so they encounter inconvenience in daily travel, medical treatment, consumption and other scenes, and can’t fully enjoy the convenience brought by intelligent services.

  On November 25, the state shot! The General Office of the State Council issued the Implementation Plan on Effectively Solving the Difficulties of the Elderly in Using Intelligent Technology.

  Zhao Chenxin, Secretary-General of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at the policy briefing in the State Council that the core of this "Implementation Plan" can be summarized in one sentence: while using intelligent technology, "the traditional way should be preserved". The first category is to keep traditional paper vouchers, the second category is to set up service channels for the elderly, and the third category is to keep manual services.

  Zhao Chenxin revealed that he is working with relevant departments to study supporting implementation plans in various fields in accordance with the requirements of the Implementation Plan, and strive to introduce a number of effective measures to solve the most urgent problems of the elderly using smart technology as soon as possible before the end of the year.

  Never let an elderly person fail to see the disease because of intelligent technology.

  Nowadays, many hospitals use intelligent technology to provide patients with services such as registration, payment and printing inspection results, which greatly facilitates the majority of patients to see a doctor, but at the same time, it also brings a lot of troubles and difficulties to some elderly patients who do not use or cannot use intelligent technology.

  "We must not let an elderly person fail to get a job because of the application of intelligent technology, and we must fully protect their legitimate rights and interests." Wang Haidong, director of the Department of Aging Health of the National Health and Wellness Commission, said.

  Wang Haidong said: First, while using intelligent technology, medical and health institutions are required to retain traditional service methods.

  The second is to unblock the channel for family members, relatives and friends or family doctors to register for elderly patients. We must keep this channel and unblock this channel.

  The third is to keep the manual service window. On-site registration, payment, printing inspection results and other services, we must keep the manual service window, which is a familiar service method for the elderly. At the same time, there should be doctors, volunteers, social workers and other on-site services for the elderly.

  The fourth is to further simplify intelligent technologies such as online appointment registration and online consultation, so as to meet the needs of the elderly.

  You can’t use the health code as the only proof of travel.

  At present, under the epidemic situation in COVID-19, many elderly people are puzzled by the necessary "health codes" in and out of various buildings and halls.

  "You can’t use the health code as the only proof of travel. You should adopt a combination of online and offline methods to facilitate people’s travel." Wang Haidong said.

  Wang Haidong pointed out that the first is integration. Many friends report that there are still some inconveniences in automatically integrating the relevant information into the health code, such as letting yourself fill in the information. Through technical means, it is possible to coordinate relevant departments, so that computers can spend more time and the elderly can save more time.

  The second is mutual recognition. The third is to retain other ways to replace inspection. For example, elderly people who don’t use smart phones will be replaced by valid identity documents or paper certificates. The fourth is to open a channel without health code. The fifth is to integrate the health code with various bus cards, citizen cards, old-age cards, etc. through technical means, so as to make other alternative ways can also be used as a voucher for travel.

  Comprehensively carry out centralized rectification of refusing cash.

  Behind the incident of "the elderly refused to pay for medical insurance in the rain" is the reality that many elderly people do not use mobile phones to pay and are used to using cash, and some places refuse to accept cash, which makes the elderly helpless.

  In this regard, Li Wei, director of the Science and Technology Department of the People’s Bank of China, said that under the unified deployment of the State Council, the centralized rectification of cash refusal and the construction of a long-term mechanism will be carried out in an all-round way.

  Li Wei pointed out that it will work with relevant ministries, local governments, banking financial institutions and grass-roots communities to guide and standardize the cash use in the fields of water, electricity and gas, public utility payment, and high-frequency service places such as retail, restaurants, shopping malls and parks. At the same time, strengthen daily supervision. Through unannounced visits, inspections and other means to carry out a thorough investigation, establish a list of illegal subjects, focus on tracking, and severely punish some cash-refusing subjects who are highly concerned about public services, people’s livelihood and the public and have a large scope of influence.

  In view of the problem that some smart financial services and products mainly target young and middle-aged customers and cause difficulties for the elderly, the central bank will guide financial institutions, focus on the daily high-frequency financial scenes of the elderly, and create "suitable" financial services that integrate online and offline and meet the needs of the elderly. For the elderly with mobility difficulties, relevant financial institutions will also be organized to improve their services, use some mobile devices to extend their service tentacles, and take the initiative to go to the door or handle financial services remotely.

  The country has made a move, hoping that the elderly will not be abandoned by high technology! (End)

Demolition of houses in the renovation project of Hongxing and surrounding old housing areas has been completed.

  Fuzhou News Network July 19 (Fuzhou Daily reporter Mo Siyu Jun Wu) The renovation project of Red Star in Taijiang District and its surrounding old houses ushered in new progress. The reporter learned from Taijiang District on the 19th that at present, more than 3,000 residential houses involved in the project have been completely relocated and demolished, with a total construction area of more than 960,000 square meters, and the collection has entered the final stage.

  The renovation project of Hongxing and its surrounding old housing areas is the largest old housing area renovation project within the Second Ring Road of our city at present. The total number of households involved in relocation is 7858, and the total area of houses to be expropriated is about 1.003 million square meters. The expropriation was officially started on September 18, 2017.

  "Finally wait until this day!" Guo Dajie, who originally lived in Hongxing New Village, expressed the voices of many relocated households. Although the plot is located in the central city, it is a mixture of private houses, old prefabricated new villages, industrial warehouses, unit dormitories, etc. The housing density is high and the population is dense, and the public supporting facilities are obviously lagging behind. The voice of the masses for old reform is very strong.

  Chen Jinhuo’s family of 11 people in Paiwei Community is crowded into an old house of 109 square meters, and Liu Ruihua’s family in Yangzhongli is always on tenterhooks every typhoon day … In the renovation project of old houses in Hongxing and surrounding areas, there are not a few families like them who live in high density and look forward to improving housing conditions.

  7858 households, such a heavy collection work, how to implement it scientifically and efficiently? The "five in one" harmonious expropriation of "scientific expropriation, joint expropriation, efficient expropriation, sunny expropriation and tender expropriation" is the answer given by Taijiang District.

  Zhu Teng, deputy head of Taijiang District, told the reporter that the plot was divided into four areas, A, B, C and D, each of which was covered by four teams in the district. Nearly 500 cadres and workers from 10 streets in the whole district have formed more than 20 working groups, all of which have been pressed to the front line, and have gone deep into households and units under their jurisdiction to carry out publicity and mobilization, forming a strong joint force to promote the work.

  Whether it is the 89-year-old elderly who are hospitalized in Minhou or the property owner who is serving a sentence in Wuyishan, as long as the people need it, the collection staff always overcomes all difficulties to provide them with on-site services. "We hope that through on-site service, those people who have difficulties can understand the policy, dispel their doubts and truly trust us, thus promoting the development of land requisition and relocation." Zhu Teng said.

  It is precisely under the promotion of the "five in one" collection that up to now, 7,852 households have been relocated in the renovation project of Hongxing and its surrounding old housing areas, with a total of 28,767 people relocated. The houses of the households involved have been completely relocated and demolished, and only the production of the remaining six provincial and municipal units is still being coordinated.

  According to reports, the renovation project of Hongxing and its surrounding old housing areas involves 321.15 mu of administrative office land, educational and scientific research land, social welfare land, water system land and urban road land, which can be used to build 443.85 mu of resettlement housing land. According to the latest planning of the Municipal Planning Bureau, more than 700,000 square meters of resettlement houses can be built.

  "The renovation and post-development of the old housing area can not only improve the living conditions of the people in the region, but also further develop the high-end commercial industry and create a new commercial center and emerging urban complex in Taijiang." Zhu Teng said.

Country Garden was petitioned for liquidation and bankruptcy was imminent.

Country Garden objected to the liquidation petition, and the company was finally liquidated.

On February 28, 2024, Country Garden announced that the company was informed that EverLimited filed a liquidation petition against the company in the High Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on February 27, concerning the unpaid term loan with a principal of about HK$ 1.6 billion and accrued interest between the petitioner and the company.

On October 10, 2023, Jiantao Group announced that Country Garden failed to repay the money according to the financing agreement, and the lender issued a statutory demand for repayment to Country Garden, demanding repayment of some due payables. As of October 10, 2023, the outstanding principal amount of Country Garden was still HK$ 1.598 billion.

In this regard, Country Garden said that the debt amount of the company involved in Jiantao Group accounts for a very low proportion of the overall interest-bearing liabilities abroad, and the radical action of a single creditor will not have a significant impact on the company’s security, normal operation and overall restructuring of overseas debts. The company resolutely opposes the petition for liquidation, and will seek legal advice, take all necessary actions, and actively and properly defend with the consulting team.

Country Garden also said that at present, all the operations of the company are normal, and it will continue to focus on ensuring delivery and operation, and protect the rights and interests of all stakeholders, including house owners, creditors, investors and employees, to the greatest extent. The presentation of the petition does not mean that the petitioner can successfully liquidate the company. On the date of announcement, the High Court did not issue a liquidation order to liquidate the company. The High Court has set the first hearing date of the petition as May 17, 2024.

Regarding the restructuring of overseas debts, Country Garden said that since it was announced that it could not repay all overseas debts as scheduled, the company has hired financial and legal consultants to assist in evaluating the capital structure and liquidity of the Group and formulating an overall solution. At present, an effective communication mechanism has been established with the representative groups of major overseas creditor groups, and the overall restructuring of overseas debt is being actively and orderly promoted.

China gave US$ 200 billion in concessions? Don’t believe it, it’s a rumor.

  Diplomacy is no small matter. Some seemingly casual details often reveal meaningful signals.

  Just now, in the Oval Office, US President Trump met with Liu He, Vice Premier of the People’s Republic of China, the special envoy of the Supreme Leader. The meeting lasted 40 minutes. According to the subsequent release of Xinhua News Agency, Trump also emphasized to Liu He:I highly cherish the good working relationship and personal friendship with the Chairman of the Supreme Leader.

  Trump, the chief correspondent of Twitter in the White House, also quickly posted relevant information on Twitter, saying that he had talked with Liu He about trade issues. In the photo, Trump with a red tie stood on the right and Liu He with a blue tie stood on the left. They shook hands and smiled.

  Sino-US trade negotiations are still going on, but during the talks, Trump suddenly met Liu He at the White House, and the information conveyed should be quite rich, at least these three clear signals:

  1. There have been subtle changes in the attitude of the United States.

  The last time Liu He visited Washington, not long ago, US Treasury Secretary Mnuchin led a delegation to Beijing for consultations, but the top leaders of the two countries did not come forward to meet. But this time, Trump not only met with Liu He, but also smiled brilliantly.In addition to Mnuchin and other US ministers, accompanied by US Vice President Burns. The President and Vice President of the United States met with Liu He, a vice-national.It can also be seen that the US attaches great importance to the China delegation.

  In addition, in the Xinhua News Agency report, the first thing Trump said to Liu He was,"It is very important for the United States and China to maintain good cooperative relations in the economic and trade field." Please note that this is "very important".Since it is very important, the United States should also be soberly aware that once it derails, it will shake the earth.

  Second, China and the United States have differences, but both want to solve them properly.

  According to Xinhua News Agency, Trump said to Liu He:"I hope that the economic teams of the two countries will work together to actively solve the problems existing in the economic and trade relations between the two sides."Liu Heze said:"China is willing to work with the United States to properly handle and solve economic and trade issues of mutual concern on the basis of equality and mutual benefit, and ensure that economic and trade cooperation will continue to be the ballast stone and propeller of Sino-US relations."

  There are indeed big differences between the two sides. What should we do? Please note that the Chinese word is "properly handled" and Trump’s word is "actively resolved". There are subtle differences in words, but their attitudes are basically the same. In other words, both sides believe that these differences should not be allowed to affect the relations between the two countries, which creates better conditions for the final success of the negotiations. Of course, China also has principles: on the basis of equality and mutual benefit.

  Third, there is huge space for future cooperation between China and the United States.

  During the meeting, Trump also said this to Liu He:The United States and China should focus on strengthening trade and investment cooperation in the fields of energy and manufacturing, expanding agricultural products trade and market access, and strengthening cooperation in intellectual property protection to bring more practical benefits to the two peoples.

  This should be the key cooperation area listed by the United States.These are all businesses, and China really may not suffer.It must be noted that in these areas, the United States has great advantages, and China’s appropriate increase in some imports is conducive to meeting people’s needs for a better life and is more conducive to the formation of a domestic competitive market. For example, energy is the blood of the economy, and China needs to import a lot of energy to develop; China needs blue sky, and natural gas is in short supply. In this regard, the United States can make more contributions. Of course, China’s energy exploitation technology should also catch up quickly.

  In the previous article, bullpiano said,The trade war between China and the United States seems to be on the verge of exploding, but from the perspective of the ultimate win-win situation of harmony and wealth, it is just a fierce bargaining before larger-scale cooperation.

  For the delegation of China, this is really a heavy responsibility. We must defend China’s legitimate rights and core interests, and we must defend the multilateral free trade system and global free trade.

  Because in the process of consultation, there is no lack of wild speculations. Some western media also broadcast the so-called news that China made substantial concessions and accepted the US deficit reduction of $200 billion.

  However, people familiar with the matter made it clear that this is false and purely misunderstood.

  According to the interpretation of relevant people:

  1. It is absolutely impossible for the Chinese team to negotiate under the conditions set by the US. This point has long been made public in the last round of Beijing consultations.

  2. Some of China’s concerns, such as the ZTE incident, have been hinted by the relevant US parties in Twitter a few days ago; In addition, both sides have made progress in expanding the export of chips and high-tech products to China in the United States and relaxing energy exports to China. The final result of this transaction is worth looking forward to. Some people worry that China will make unilateral concessions, which is unnecessary.

  3. The final result of the negotiations will come out after a while, and the so-called rumors of China’s concessions will be broken by then!

  However, this is still a bitter battle.

  According to informed sources,Just a few hours before Trump met with Liu He, the two sides still refused to give in to each other on the focus issue, and the negotiations were once deadlocked.Trump’s sudden meeting and the smiling handshake between the two sides undoubtedly put an end to the hard negotiation of this day.

  Negotiations will continue and the game is still going on. Strive for the best results and prepare for the worst.Tomorrow is a crucial day!(Author Niu Qinqin)

Cars, home appliances, home improvement, kitchen and bathroom "real money" to promote consumer goods trade-in.

CCTV News:Since the beginning of this year, China has continued to promote large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods. The reporter learned from the Ministry of Commerce that 18 departments including the Ministry of Commerce continued to expand the policy portfolio. Various localities have also introduced detailed measures to promote the trade-in of consumer goods.

Driven by the policy, the growth of key retail products is improving. Among them, the national retail sales of passenger cars in May was about 1.685 million, an increase of about 10% from the previous month.

In a car 4S shop in Chongqing High-tech Zone, Ms. Zhu bought a new energy car, and she submitted the old car scrapping procedures, new car purchase information and bank card information simultaneously on the mobile phone applet. In less than a week, Ms. Zhu received a subsidy of 10,000 yuan for trade-in.

Recently, the Ministry of Finance issued 6.44 billion yuan of financial discount and bonus funds in 2024, which was used for the pre-allocation of financial subsidy funds for the automobile trade-in center this year. While preferential policies bring "real money and silver" to consumers, many automobile sales companies have also superimposed concessions such as purchase tax reduction and exemption, insurance premium concessions, and coupons subsidies to increase profits. The reporter visited automobile sales stores in several provinces and cities, and the sales volume of many stores increased one month after the implementation of the New Deal.

At present, the Ministry of Commerce has developed and built a national unified information service platform for automobile trade-in to facilitate people to apply for subsidies for automobile scrapping and renewal. Consumers can search for "car trade-in" and submit applications on small programs of WeChat, Alipay, Tik Tok and China Unionpay Quick Pass.

Accelerated release of consumer demand for household appliances

Not only in the automobile field, but also in various places. During a recent visit to Hubei and Sichuan, the reporter learned that local governments, home appliance companies and sales platforms have launched various forms of trade-in activities.

Since the summer, the demand for cool household appliances has been increasing. In a home appliance store in Wuhan, Hubei Province, customers who come to consult the trade-in policy are in an endless stream. Recently, Wuhan launched two rounds of green smart home appliances trade-in subsidy vouchers, plus the "618" preferential policy for merchants from late May, so that consumers can get hundreds or even thousands of yuan.

In order to make consumers "willing to change" and "convenient to change", many places have established consumption scenes that are easier to get rid of the old and more satisfactory to replace the new. For example, Mianyang, Sichuan Province has developed the "Mianyi Bu" WeChat applet, and consumers can apply for subsidies by uploading information online.

Liaocheng, Shandong Province launched the "Hui Cycle" applet. Consumers only need to input the brand model, service life and other information of household appliances, and the system will automatically quote. After the old collection is completed, a "renewal voucher" will be automatically put into the consumer’s account, and the purchase price will be directly deducted when purchasing a new machine.

The latest data from the Ministry of Commerce show that 1-mdash; In May, the trade-in sales of home appliances in major e-commerce platforms increased by 81.8% year-on-year, and the effect of the trade-in policy of home appliances has initially appeared.

Intelligent home improvement kitchen and bathroom is becoming a new trend.

Home improvement kitchen and bathroom "rejuvenation" is also an important aspect of consumer goods trade-in this year. At present, many merchants provide consumers with personalized home improvement and kitchen and bathroom renovation programs, focusing on promoting intelligent and aging-suitable product updates and upgrades.

These days, Mr. Lin, a citizen of Shenzhen, is renovating the old kitchen at home. I heard that there is a kitchen and bathroom renovation business in the shopping mall, and he came to consult specially.

Mr. Lin, a citizen of Shenzhen, said: "My wife wants to make some desserts for children in the future, and needs to increase the space of the oven. The pipeline under the pool is aging, so I want to come here to solve these problems."

In response to Mr. Lin’s needs, the merchant provided him with a one-to-one personalized customized design, and the installation time only took two days at most, which did not affect the normal life of his family, and also helped him replace new home appliances through the trade-in activity.

In the interview, the reporter found that intelligent products have become the "toon" of home appliance stores. In Foshan, Guangdong, citizen Liu Qiu is going to replace the kitchen appliances that have been used for ten years in one breath and enjoy the "smart kitchen". The merchant has worked out an overall replacement preferential scheme for her, which saves more than 800 yuan after accounting, and also provides free door-to-door disassembly service.

The "rejuvenation" of home improvement kitchen and bathroom can not only improve the home environment, but also provide protection for home safety. Many local policies put forward that it is necessary to promote aging products such as home health monitoring equipment, and support business entities in decoration and other fields to expand the aging transformation business at home, so as to make home life more beautiful and convenient.

Authoritative release! Ministry of Commerce: Compensatory consumption will appear in some areas.

  Cctv newsAt the regular online press conference held by the Ministry of Commerce today (26th), the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce said that the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on China’s consumption is short-term and controllable, and the epidemic will not change the development trend of China’s consumption.

  The Ministry of Commerce said that after the outbreak, residents’ going out sharply decreased, and the consumer market was greatly affected. At the same time, China’s consumer market has also shown strong resilience, vitality and new growth points. Rigid consumption has increased steadily, new consumption hotspots have been accelerated, and the space for upgrading consumption has been continuously expanded. 1— In February, the retail sales of food and beverages of units above designated size increased by 9.7% and 3.1% respectively year-on-year, and the online retail sales of physical goods increased by 3% against the trend.

  Recently, as the situation of epidemic prevention and control continues to improve, enterprises have resumed their business and the market sales have bottomed out. According to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Commerce, as of March 22nd, the average rate of resumption of work in large-scale agricultural products wholesale markets reached 97%, in large supermarkets 96%, in farmers’ markets (vegetable markets) 94% and in department stores (shopping centers) 90%.

  Life services such as catering, accommodation and housekeeping are more obviously affected by the epidemic. Statistics of National Bureau of Statistics, 1— In February, catering revenue decreased by 43.1% year-on-year. According to the monitoring of the Ministry of Commerce, the operating income of accommodation, housekeeping and other industries decreased by more than 75% year-on-year in February.

  Recently, with the steady progress of life service enterprises’ resumption of work, life service consumption has gradually recovered. According to the monitoring of the Ministry of Commerce, up to now, the return to work rates of catering, accommodation and domestic enterprises have reached about 80%, 60% and 40% respectively; The recovery of service consumption, such as catering, is also accelerating. On March 25th, the proportion of operating income of 3,000 catering stores contacted by the Ministry of Commerce in the same period last year rose by about 10 percentage points, which was more than 30 percentage points higher than the lowest point in February.

  According to the Ministry of Commerce, with the further recovery of social production and living order, a series of policies and measures introduced by the state and local governments to promote consumption compensation and release have gradually taken effect, and the consumer market will further rebound steadily in the later period. In some areas, some rigid consumption has been delayed by the epidemic, and will be replenished after the epidemic, so compensatory consumption will occur.

After more than 10 years of pollution control, the water quality compliance rate of the east route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project has been from 3% to 100%

On the east route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project, the Yangtze River flows out of Yangzhou all the way north, and runs north Jiangsu and Jidong. This year, the annual water transfer work was started. Over the past four years, more than 10 billion cubic meters of "South-to-North Water Transfer Project" has become the guarantee water for life, the life-saving water for drought resistance and the ecological water for rivers and lakes. Who would have thought that it was not easy behind the gurgling clean stream.

The success or failure of water transfer on the eastern route lies in pollution control. Fifteen years ago, this was the goal that had been questioned: to make all the "soy sauce rivers" clear, to turn the inferior V water into III water, and to reduce the concentration of COD (chemical oxygen demand) to 20 mg/L. It has taken some developed countries decades and hundreds of years to control similar water problems. Can the South-to-North Water Transfer Project be realized in 10 years?

The eastern route has become an example of river basin management: from 2003 to 2013, the average concentration of COD decreased by more than 85%, the average concentration of ammonia nitrogen decreased by 92%, and the water quality compliance rate increased from 3% to 100%. The water is clear and the shore is green, which will promote the economic development and ecological protection along the route to a win-win situation.

Pollution control depends on determination: shut down with an iron fist and never let sewage enter the trunk line.

How difficult is it to control pollution on the eastern front? Nansi Lake, where water transfer must pass, is quite representative.

"It receives water from 32 counties in four provinces of Sulu, Henan and Anhui, and there are 53 main rivers entering the lake. The water systems intersect, and which river is not well managed will affect the water quality of the lake area." Ge Weiyan, inspector of the Environmental Protection Department of Shandong Province, said that in the 1990s, all the water in the basin was polluted, and the river water entering the lake was basically inferior to Class V, and Nansi Lake became a "dead lake" where fish and shrimp were extinct.

Such a water problem is precisely the development problem that is concentrated and highlighted at this stage. Along the eastern route, after years of rapid industrialization and urbanization, the water ecology is red and the water environment is difficult to carry. Some people worry that the South-to-North Water Transfer Project will become a sewage transfer project.

"The key to pollution control depends on determination, and there must be the spirit of a strong man breaking his wrist. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council attached great importance to this and clearly put forward the principle of "three firsts and three afters" in the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, that is, saving water first, transferring water first, polluting water first, using water first, and never letting sewage go north. " The main responsible comrades of the State Council South-to-North Water Diversion Office said.

Top design. The pollution control planning and supplementary planning of the Eastern Route Project have been implemented one after another. Through structural adjustment, sewage treatment, sewage interception and diversion, ecological restoration and other projects, an integrated pollution control system has been established to ensure the sustainable delivery of clean water from one canal to the north.

"Ensuring Class III water quality" has become a hard lever for local governments. Jiangsu, Shandong along the iron fist choking pollution, launched a tough battle against pollution.

"A traditional paper mill can stain a river." Liu Yunting, deputy director of the Environmental Protection Bureau of Jining City, Shandong Province, said that more than 10 years ago, there were more than 700 paper mills in the province, and the sewage discharge accounted for more than 70% of the total. Say "no" to highly polluting paper-making enterprises, Shandong has formulated the first drainage standard in the country, in which COD discharge standard is 6 times stricter than the national standard, and ammonia nitrogen discharge is 7 times stricter than the national standard, and the "privilege" of industrial sewage discharge is cancelled, which forces industrial transformation.

The paper industry is just a microcosm. In Jining, 68 enterprises are listed as key governance targets. Nine cities along Shandong Province refused to approve and delayed the approval of more than 510 enterprises with high energy consumption and high pollution, involving an investment of nearly 19 billion yuan. All the 378 sewage outlets supervised by the provincial government have been rectified.

In Jiangsu, we have vigorously implemented clean-up and diversion, water conservation and emission reduction, and a number of deepening pollution control projects have landed. Environmental accountability and one-vote veto were implemented, and more than 800 chemical enterprises were shut down along the route. Control non-point source pollution, and set up prohibited areas, restricted areas and concentrated areas for aquaculture. Li Songbai, assistant general manager of East Jiangsu Water Source Company, said: "The water quality is up to standard, which is the bottom line that must be kept."

Interception of sewage with one hand and finding a "way out" for sewage with the other. At least one sewage treatment plant and one garbage treatment plant will be built in each county along the water transfer. Since the Twelfth Five-Year Plan, 107 new sewage treatment plants have been built along Shandong, with an annual treatment capacity of 1.55 billion tons.

Pollution control on the eastern route continued to advance, the total amount of sewage discharged dropped sharply, and rivers were reborn. The black and smelly Nansi Lake "came back to life" and returned to the level of the early 1980s, ranking among the national lakes with excellent water quality. Cui Xiubao, a villager in henan village, Jiangji, who lives near Weishan Lake, said: "Now the river has come back when I was a child, and the small whitebait and saury that have been extinct for many years have appeared again."

Mechanism of pollution control: pressure is transmitted layer by layer, and scientific pollution control is effective.

Pollution control on the eastern front is not an expedient measure. A long-term mechanism is needed to ensure the stability of water quality.

Who will control pollution? In 2003, the State Council South-to-North Water Diversion Office signed a letter of responsibility with Sulu provinces, and 14 cities along the route signed a written pledge with the governments of the two provinces to clarify the main body of responsibility, and the pressure was passed on layer by layer.

Along the water transfer line, the "river length system" and "section length system" were first implemented. The river chief is on duty, guarding the water and doing his duty. Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province changed the supervision of enterprises to the supervision of the government, realizing "the responsibility of the party and the government is the same, one post and two responsibilities, and dereliction of duty". Xu Dong, the mayor of Zhangji Town, tongshan district, said frankly: "There is pressure and motivation, and’ Kowloon’ can be twisted into a rope to protect the mother river." In Shandong, pollution control targets are directly linked to the assessment of cadres, and provincial leaders are the river chiefs of key lakes and reservoirs such as Nansi Lake and Dongping Lake, which are promoted from a high position.

How to control pollution? Innovative ecological governance model. Shandong put forward the strategy of "governance and protection" to tap the potential in all aspects. "Governance" means the whole process of pollution prevention and control, such as structural adjustment, clean production and terminal treatment. "Use" means the recycling of reclaimed water. The annual consumption of reclaimed water conservancy in the province reaches 800 million tons, which is equivalent to the water volume of eight large reservoirs. "Protection" means ecological protection and restoration, and building a large ecological belt along the river and lake.

Through returning farmland to wet land and returning fishing to the lake, Nansi Lake has reached 230,000 mu of constructed wetland with a daily water purification capacity of 500,000 tons. Hui Luo, deputy director of the South-to-North Water Diversion Construction and Management Bureau, said that the wetland is like a natural sewage treatment plant. After the tail water discharged by enterprises reaches the standard, it will be purified by the wetland, and the pollutant content will be reduced by half, so that the water quality entering the lake will meet the Class III requirements.

Hongze Lake, 750,000 mu of wetland in full of green, where rare birds dance. Li Songbai said: "Fishermen take a step forward, wetlands take a step back, and over-breeding once endangered the ecology. After years of returning to the lake and ecological restoration, it was in exchange for today’s harmonious situation between people and water. "

Explore the ecological compensation mechanism. Since 2010, Jiangsu Province has implemented regional compensation along the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, with "polluter pays, and the infringer compensates". The compensation funds are earmarked for water pollution control, ecological restoration and water environment monitoring capacity building. With the efforts of the government market, Shandong has explored charging for water conservation and sewage discharge by electricity, introduced third-party governance, and obtained the greatest benefits through government purchase of services.

With the guarantee of mechanism, pollution control on the eastern route has shifted from engineering management to comprehensive management, bringing greater benefits into play. In 2013, the bottom of Nansi Lake was cracked, and it was on the verge of crisis. At the critical moment, the East Line pumping station was running at full capacity, and the Yangtze River water flew 800 miles, bringing the long-term drought lake back to life. In response to the drought in northern Jiangsu in 2009, 5.3 billion cubic meters of water was transferred from Jiangdu to the arid area, and the water volume exceeded that of Hongze Lake, and more than 45 million mu of farmland was irrigated.

Concept of pollution control: active transformation, green development into people’s hearts

Eastern pollution control, will it affect development?

Practice has proved that protecting the ecological environment is also protecting productive forces. Adhering to the concept of green development and building a strong green engine can achieve a win-win situation for economic development and ecological improvement.

Set the city by water and accelerate the transformation. In the past five years, Xuzhou, an old industrial base, has carried out environmental credit evaluation for more than 1,800 enterprises, and the industrial structure has changed from heavy to light, and the level has changed from low to high, thus winning the golden business card of "one city with green hills and half a city with lakes". Jining, a coal city, takes the road of new industrialization. The advanced manufacturing industry exceeds the coal-fired power industry, and the high-tech industry accounts for more than 33% of the industry.

There is no "card" dead enterprise at the high threshold. After experiencing pains, Shandong paper industry achieved a green turn, the number of enterprises decreased by 65%, but the production capacity was 3.5 times that of the original, which was at the leading level in China. Quanlin Paper Company not only won more than 180 domestic and international patents, but also turned straw pulp papermaking into a high-tech industry, and built a branch factory in the United States by relying on advanced emission reduction technology.

A strong man breaks his wrist, freeing up environmental capacity in exchange for development space. All localities along the route seized opportunities and took the lead in transformation, and a number of emerging industries such as electronic information, new energy and new materials rose rapidly. According to preliminary statistics, the average annual growth rate of economic growth along the line is 14.02%, and the average annual industrial added value is 20.55%, which is higher than the provincial average.

Relying on mountains to eat, relying on water to eat. The water quality has improved, and Cui Xiubao by Weishan Lake has eaten ecological rice. "Now there are all kinds of fish, and you can earn one or two hundred yuan every day by opening a fisherman’s house." He said that the villagers in the surrounding villages engaged in ecological breeding and eco-tourism, with an annual per capita income of more than 20,000 yuan.

"The South-to-North Water Transfer Project not only transferred water, but also revitalized regional water resources." Hui Luo said that the Yangtze River water, the Yellow River water and the local water merged together to form a "T"-shaped water network in Qilu, which realized the optimal allocation of water resources, made up the original long-term ecological debt, returned the occupied agricultural water, and gradually restored the regional water ecology. In Jiping main canal, the Xiaoqing River with cross-flow of sewage reappeared through water resources dispatching. Residents along the Jinan River lamented: "Xiaohe River has finally changed back to Xiaoqing River!"

The East Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project has not only become a water conveyance line to optimize the allocation of water resources, but also a development line to practice ecological civilization. (Reporter Zhao Yongping)
