[Editor’s note]

　　In order to thoroughly implement the spirit of the important instructions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on the protection of the Grand Canal, our network actively participated in the network theme activity of "Questing for the Grand Canal" organized by the Network Communication Bureau of the Central Network Information Office. With culture as the core, we plan to launch new media products with diverse contents and rich forms, such as "Cloud Appreciating the Grand Canal", "Canal Questions", "Grand Canal March" and "Above the River", and publicize the achievements of canal ecological protection, cultural heritage protection and high-quality economic development in depth, so as to show the new features of the Grand Canal in the new era by comparing the past with the present.

　　Which historic district is famous for Lisi?

　　Nanxun Historic District is famous for Lisi.Nanxun Historic District developed and prospered in Ming and Qing Dynasties due to sericulture and manual silk reeling, and relied on the branch line of the Grand Canal — — With the convenient transportation, the Qiantang Canal has developed into a unique cross-port structure based on the Qiantang Canal.At the beginning of the 20th century, relying on the developed sericulture and farming economy in the Grand Canal and its surrounding areas, nanxun town became the largest silk merchant group in China, and Nanxun became an important commercial town in the south of the Yangtze River. Nanxun Town covers a total area of 1.68 square kilometers.The town retains the historical features of Ming and Qing Dynasties, which fully reflects the block pattern and historical features of nanxun town in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.Relevant architectural heritages in the town are well preserved, important historical buildings are open to the public as museums, and the remaining residential buildings have basically maintained their original residential functions.

　　Where is the historical and cultural block of Baziqiao?

　　Located in the north of the ancient city of Shaoxing, Baziqiao Historic District is an urban commercial district based on the geographical advantages of Shaoxing Baziqiao and the Grand Canal. It has a dual land and water transportation system and is a microcosm of Shaoxing Water City, reflecting the great influence of the excavation and change of the canal on the pattern and evolution of the canal settlement.

　　The historical block of Baziqiao covers an area of about 19.66 hectares. There are ancient bridges such as Baziqiao, Guangning Bridge, Dongshuangqiao, Fangche Bridge and Longhua Bridge in the block. Residents live near the river and walk along the street, forming a unique landscape of Jiangnan water town, which is a typical representative of the layout of Shaoxing ancient city street and river.

　　What are the four famous pagodas along the Grand Canal in China?

　　The four famous pagodas along the Grand Canal in China are Tongzhou Lighthouse, Linqing stupa, Yangzhou Wenfeng Pagoda and Hangzhou Pagoda of Six Harmonies. They are not only outstanding representatives of ancient architectural art in China, but also witnessed the prosperity of the canal area in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

　　Tongzhou burning lighthouse

　　Located in the north of Tongzhou, the northernmost part of the Grand Canal in China, it is also known as the burning Buddha stupa. This tower was built in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and was repaired in the Tang, Yuan and Ming Dynasties. Tongzhou Burning Lighthouse is also known as the Town Water Tower by the people, aiming at preventing floods from threatening the canal and protecting people on both sides of the strait from floods. "The pillar is half of the sky" and "A tower shadows Tongzhou" are the poems of two famous poets in the Qing Dynasty describing the burning lighthouse. The first sentence describes the majestic scene, and the second sentence describes the most beautiful scenery of the ancient pagoda, which can be used as a symbol of the ancient city of Tongzhou, thus making this pagoda famous in China.

　　Linqing stupa

　　Located on the east bank of the Chengbei Wei Canal in Linqing City, it has a history of more than 380 years. It is a pavilion-style brick tower with imitation wood structure and is a national key cultural relic protection unit.This tower was built in the thirty-ninth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1 611). It is 61 meters high and has nine levels and eight sides. Pavilion-style, almost vertical, wood-like structure, with a general’s helmet-shaped top and eight bases, each with a length of 4.9 meters and a bottom area of 186 square meters, with a space area of 7,000 square meters. Brick and wood structure with eaves.Linqing stupa is a building that really accompanied with the Ming and Qing Canal. It witnessed the economic development of Linqing in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Although the prosperity of that year has long gone, Linqing stupa still sticks to this land, as if it is still recalling the prosperity of that year.

　　Yangzhou Wenfeng Pagoda

　　Located in Wenfeng Temple beside Baota Bay on the east bank of the ancient canal in the south of Yangzhou.Built in the tenth year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty, it is said that it is named after the style of writing that settled Yangzhou and made students stand out in the imperial examination field.Brick tower, 40 meters high, the canal under the tower is the place where Jian Zhen Dongdu untied the cable and entered the river. At the top, you can see the great river in the south, Shugang in the north, and the Green Yang Gallery. In the tenth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Yu Deye, the magistrate, built a tower, and the monks’ town was built for three years. At that time, Yangzhou was named "Wenfeng Tower", which means "the style of writing is prosperous and the context is smooth". Wenfeng Pagoda is a seven-story, eight-faced, brick-and-wood pavilion-style pagoda, with a mahogany tile, a masonry sumitomo under it, a cloister at the bottom, and an octagonal roof at the top of the tower, with a total height of 44.75 meters. The ancient pagoda is solemn and heavy, which has become a remarkable symbol of the ancient canal.The lamp niche on the tower also plays the role of a navigation mark. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, grain ships and salt ships came and went from the tower, and the sails were numerous, which made this river bend known as Baota Bay.

　　Hangzhou Pagoda of Six Harmonies

　　Located on Yuelun Mountain beside Qiantang River, it was built by King wuyue for the town of qiantang bore in the Northern Song Dynasty. In the third year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty (970), Qian Hongjiao Sheyuan built a tower, and sent Zen master Zhiyuan, a monk, to build the Pagoda of Six Harmonies, and built a tower courtyard. The purpose of building the tower was to suppress the river tide. The present Pagoda of Six Harmonies Tower was rebuilt in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the wooden structure outside the tower was rebuilt in the 25th year of Guangxu reign (1899). The name of the pagoda takes the meaning of "Six Harmony Respect" in Buddhism and is named Pagoda of Six Harmonies.Pagoda of Six Harmonies, also known as the Liuhe Pagoda, takes the six sides of heaven, earth, east, south, west and north to show its broad meaning, that is, the meaning of "four directions of heaven and earth".The tower has seven sides and eight levels, with a height of 59.89 meters, which is magnificent. Overlooking the tower, Qiantang has a panoramic view. The eaves of the tower are gradually reduced from bottom to top, and 104 iron bells are hung on the upturned corners of the tower eaves. The eaves are bright, the eaves are dark, and the light and shade alternate with each other. From a distance, it looks very harmonious. Wenfeng Pagoda is a masterpiece of ancient Chinese architectural art with graceful appearance, extraordinary spirit, exquisite conception and wonderful structure. Now a new Chinese ancient pagoda garden has been built next to Pagoda of Six Harmonies. Entering Tayuan, more than 100 ancient pagodas in various dynasties and regions have displayed the essence of China Tower culture.

　　Who was the earliest digger of the Grand Canal in China?

　　Fu Cha, the king of Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period, was the first to dig the Grand Canal. Fu Cha (about 528 BC — In 473 BC), he was the last monarch of Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period. Fu Cha, the king of Wu, used the natural water system between the Yangtze River and Huaihe River to dig an artificial channel — — Hangou According to Zuo Zhuan, in the ninth year of Lu Aigong (486 BC), "Wu Chenghan, connecting the river and Huai River" [Zuo Zhuan’s Nine Years of Mourning for the Duke, Spring and Autumn Siming Zuo]. Han Gou starts from Han Cheng (located in present-day Yangzhou city) by the Yangtze River in the south and ends at the end of Shanyang Bay of Huaihe River (located in present-day Huai ‘an city) in the north, connecting the two major water systems. This is the earliest section of the Grand Canal in China with an exact date. In the second year after Fu Cha opened the Hangou, Wu Jun went north along the newly opened canal. With the help of the convenient water passage, Wu Jun sailed like a flying boat, sweeping across the country, trapping Chen, defeating his troops and retreating from Chu, and finally returning home in triumph.

　　Who dug the earliest salt river?

　　In the Western Han Dynasty, the Shangguan Yunhe Salt River dug by Wu Wang Liu Bi was the earliest one. This is an artificial canal with Yangzhou as the center to the eastern coastal area of Jianghuai.Liu Bi, the prince of Wu, was the son of Liu Zhong, the second brother of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, and was named the prince of Wu for his meritorious service in pacifying Ying Bu. His fiefdom "Three Counties and Fifty-three Cities" [The Ancestor of the Two Kings Canal in Yangzhou], with Guangling (that is, Yangzhou) as its capital, including Yuzhang County and Huiji County, almost covers the main territory of East China today. According to Records of the Historian, (Liu Ying) "You get money by frying ore and salt by boiling water". It was from local materials that Liu Bi mined and minted money, and boiled seawater for salt, which made Wu rich. 195 BC — In the first 154 years, in order to transport the salt rich in the eastern coast of the fief to Yangzhou, Liu Bi, referring to the practice of Fu Cha, presided over the excavation of the Shangguanyun Salt River, that is, from Zhuyuwan Scenic Spot, Yangzhou to Hailingcang, and then to Rugao, Hai ‘an, with a length of 195 miles. Emperor Han Jing took the suggestion of Chao Cuo, an ancient imperial physician, and cut off the kingdom fiefs. In the name of "killing Chao Cuo on the side of the Qing Dynasty", Liu Bi joined forces with seven countries, including Chu and Zhao, and publicly rebelled in Dinghai (154 BC) in the third year before Emperor Jingdi, which is known as "the rebellion of the seven countries with Wu and Chu". After being defeated by Zhou Yafu, the commander of the Han army, Liu Bi was defeated and killed. The canals dug by Fu Cha and Liu Bi, two kings of Wu, made Yangzhou prosperous for 2000 years.The people of Yangzhou built the "Erwang Temple" to commemorate the two ancestors of the Grand Canal. The Erwang Temple was destroyed in the 1950s. In 2007, Yangzhou rebuilt a "Mangou Dawang Temple" next to the ancient Mangou.

　　What contribution did Chen Deng make to the Grand Canal in the Eastern Han Dynasty?

　　In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Chen Deng presided over the excavation of Han Gou.It has played an important role in the development of the Grand Canal.

　　Chen Deng was born in Xiapi Huaipu (now Lianshui West, Jiangsu Province). He was bright, quiet and resourceful. When he was a teenager, he had the ambition to help the world and the people, and he was well-read and knowledgeable. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he served as the prefect of Guangling. Due to the fact that Han Gou detours to the northeast above Fanliang Lake, and there is the danger of waves in Bozhi and Sheyang Lakes, with the development of water transport, it is inevitable to avoid bends and take straightness. Therefore, in the early Jian ‘an period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Chen Deng, the prefect of Guangling, considered that "Huai Lake is far away, the land and water are different, and the mountains and rivers are impassable [Qing Liu Wenqi in Yangzhou Waterway]", it was "crossing the ditch and chiseling the horse". At the beginning of Jian ‘an, Chen Deng presided over the excavation project, from the mouth of Fanliang Lake, through the canal to Jinhu (that is, Jieshou Lake, which governs the south in today’s Baoying County), and then from Jinhu Lake to Baima Lake (in the northwest of today’s Baoying County), until the end of Shanyang River enters Huai River.This is the first reconstruction project for the canal of the Han River in history. After Chen Deng’s large-scale excavation, a relatively straight new transportation road was formed, which was called the Hangou West Road in history.Han Gou Xi Dao is roughly the same as today’s Li Canal. During his tenure, Chen Deng also built water conservancy facilities along the Huaihe River (the predecessor of Gaojia weir), Broken Kettle Pond and Chengongtang to develop farmland irrigation, which restored agriculture in Jianghuai area, which was destroyed repeatedly at the end of Han Dynasty, to a certain extent.

　　Who presided over the digging of Baigou?

　　Cao Cao, a politician in the Eastern Han Dynasty, presided over the digging of the white ditch. Cao Cao (155 years — In 200), the word Meng De was born in Peiguoqiao County (now Bozhou, Anhui Province). Politician, strategist and poet in the Three Kingdoms. Han Jian ‘an seven to nine years (202 — In 204), Cao Cao successively repaired Suiyang Canal to Guandu; "Stop Qi water from entering Baigou to pass the route for providing foodstuff (now in the east of Weixian Town, Qixian County, Henan Province). From this, the tanker can connect the upper reaches of the Weihe River and the lower reaches of the Yellow River at that time, and connect the rivers of the Haihe River system to the northeast.In the 11th year of Jian ‘an, Cao Cao invaded Wuhuan in the north, and dug Pinglu Canal and Quanzhou Canal to communicate Baigou, Hutuo River, Baoqiu Water (Donglu Water) and Suishui (now Luanhe River). Baigou, Pinglu Canal and Quanzhou Canal became the predecessors of Yongji Canal in Sui Dynasty.

　　Today, the predecessor of Zhangwei River is Baigou.

　　Who built Shao Bo Dai?

　　It was Xie An, a politician in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who built Shao Bo. Xie An (320 — In 385), the word Anshi was born in Yangxia, Chen Jun (now Taikang, Henan Province). When he was filial to Emperor Wu, he was the prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In 385, Xie An dredged the canal in northern Jiangsu, and built a dam to store water and facilitate navigation in Shao Bo today. According to historical records, "Xie Anzhu was built in the north of the new city, and the people relied on it. Compared with helping Zhou Zhi to call Bo, it was named Bo Dai."It is precisely because the people compare Xie An to Zhao Bo, and "Zhao" means "Shao". This place was later called Shaobo Town.. "Poem Zhao Nan Gan Tang": "Cover Gan Tang, don’t cut it, call Bo." Zhao Bo once worked under the Gan Tang tree, asking people to never cut down or destroy a leaf of the Gan Tang tree, which can be described as loving. This love comes from heartfelt gratitude for Zhao Gong’s moral education. Therefore, Shao Bo is also called Gan Tang, and now there is an ancient Gan Tang tree in the town. Shao Bo people also built Xie ‘an Square, and are preparing to build Xie Taifu Temple, which fully reflects the gratitude of Shao Bo people to Xie ‘an.

　　Who was the first person to run through the Grand Canal?

　　Emperor Yangdi Yang Guang was the first person to run through the Grand Canal. Yang Guang, Emperor Yangdi of Sui Dynasty (April 11th, 569-618), was born in Huayin (now Huayin, Shaanxi), the second son of Emperor Wen of Sui, Emperor of Sui Dynasty, and the second emperor of Sui Dynasty. Born in Daxing, the capital of Sui Dynasty, he succeeded to the throne in July in the fourth year of Renshou (604). During his reign, he built the Grand Canal (opening Yongji Canal, Tongji Canal, adding Han Gou and Jiangnan Canal), built the capital of Luoyang as the east, initiated the imperial examination system, personally levied Tuguhun and three Goguryeo, which caused chaos in the world and directly led to the collapse of the Sui Dynasty. He was hanged by his men in Jiangdu in 618 AD.

　　In 584, Yang Jian, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, ordered Yuwen Kai to lead the people to open the canal.Wei River is drawn from the northwest of Xingcheng, slightly following the old course of Cao Canal in Han Dynasty, and flows into the Yellow River in Tongguan, which is more than 150 kilometers long and is named Guangtong Canal. In 604 AD, it was renamed Yongtong Canal.Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty excavated the Shanyang River to the east of Han ‘gou, also known as Shanyangdu. However, with the development of politics, economy and culture in the north and south, the local canals built can no longer meet the needs of society. Communicating the north-south waterway has become an urgent need for social and economic exchanges.

　　In the first year of Daye (AD 605), in the first year of his accession to the throne, Emperor Yangdi ordered more than one million people from Henan and Huaibei counties to build Tongji Canal. In the same year, he also recruited more than 100,000 migrant workers from Huainan to open a ditch, which entered the Yangtze River from Shanyang to Yangzi. The canal was 40 steps wide, and both sides were built with neat and flat imperial roads and planted with willows. In the fourth year of the great cause, millions of migrant workers from Hebei Province were recruited to dig Yongji Canal to meet the needs of Liaodong. Communicate with the Yangtze River and Yellow River in 610. So far, the project of digging the Grand Canal has been basically completed. It took six years before and after Emperor Yangdi dug the Grand Canal.Emperor Yangdi successively dug and dredged Tongji Canal from the Yellow River to Bianshui and then from Bianshui to Huaihe River. There are also gullies that enter the Yangtze River from the Huaihe River; Jiangnan River from Jingkou (now Zhenjiang, Jiangsu) to Huiji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang); Lead Qinshui south to the Yellow River and north to Yongji Canal in Zhuojun (now Beijing). These canals are connected from north to south, which is the famous Grand Canal in Sui Dynasty.The Grand Canal runs from Zhuojun in the north to Yuhang in the south, winding for more than 5,000 miles (2,700 kilometers) from north to south. The Grand Canal in Sui Dynasty takes Huiji, Luoyang and Zhuojun as three points, and the Jiangnan River, Hangou, Tongji Canal and Yongji Canal are four sections, connecting the five major water systems of Qiantang River, Yangtze River, Huaihe River, Yellow River and Haihe River.

　　The completion of the Grand Canal promoted the development of cities on both sides of the Canal, and cities such as Jiangdu, Yuhang and Zhuojun prospered quickly. At that time, on the canal, "merchant ships traveled back and forth, and ships could not stop riding." The Grand Canal promoted the economic and cultural exchanges between the North and the South during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, maintained national unity and strengthened centralized system. Pi Rixiu wrote a poem in the Tang Dynasty: "Ten thousand dragons and green trees were carried to Yangzhou and never returned. It should be the god to teach people to open the bian river, here a thousand miles of the ground can not see a mountain. It is said that the sui dynasty national subjugation is because of this river, but now it is still flowing, the north and south vessels are therefore unimpeded. If there is no water temple dragon boat, there is not much merit in the discussion. " ("Two Poems of Nostalgia on the Bianhe River")

　　Who solved the water source problem in the south section of the Jiangnan Canal?

　　Qian Liu has solved the water source problem in the south section of the Jiangnan Canal. Qian Liu (852 — 932), with beautiful words, was born in Lin ‘an, Hangzhou. The founder of Wu Yue State in the Five Dynasties. During Qian Liu’s reign, he attached great importance to water conservancy, took "protecting the environment and protecting the people" as the national policy, and built seawalls, expanded Hang Cheng, developed agriculture and mulberry, dredged lakes and rivers, opened up shipping and expanded trade, which played a positive role in the development of Hangzhou and Zhejiang. In order to solve the water source problem in the south section of the Jiangnan Canal, Qian Liu, King of Wu Yue, implemented projects such as dredging the West Lake, diverting the tide from the river and building double gates.He believes that Taihu Lake area "is surrounded by streams and lakes, connected with rivers and seas, and endowed with a wide range of land, so it is necessary to contribute to irrigation and use it to cultivate mulberry."In addition to harnessing ditches, building seawalls and dredging the West Lake in Hangzhou, Tianbao five years (915),He also set up a special ambassador for farming in Dushui, and ordered him to raise four soldiers next to Taihu Lake to create a shallow army and personally command it.There are seven or eight thousand people in Liaoshallow Army, whose main task is to harness rivers and build dikes. The practice of clearing the gap year by year, that is, the professional team insists on dredging all the year round. In the second year of Baozheng (927), Zhehu Lake and xin jing Pond entered the sea from Xiaoguanpu. Along the Yangtze River, it reaches the Jiangyin boundary in Changzhou, and each river and each pond has a weir gate, and a maintenance system of water network pond and polder field is established. "Every field is divided into dikes, and the dikes must be long. Every year or two, people who build dikes will build dikes and dredge the harbor, so the dikes in the lowlands are always solid, and the ports in dry fields are always open" ["Grand Canal Celebrity" 59]. Therefore, floods and droughts were rare in wuyue period, and they were abundant in their early years.

　　Author Jiang Shili:

　　Deputy Director of Yangzhou Press and Publication Bureau.During the application for the World Heritage of the Grand Canal in China, he served as the full-time director of the World Cultural Heritage Office of the Grand Canal and the deputy director of the World Heritage Office of Yangzhou, the leading city, and experienced the process of applying for the World Heritage of the Grand Canal.

　　On July 19th, according to Xinhua News Agency, Premier Li Qiang of the State Council presided over the the State Council executive meeting on the same day, which studied the policies and measures to strengthen support for large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods.

　　The meeting pointed out that large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods are highly tractive, and increasing policy support is conducive to better releasing the potential of domestic demand. The meeting decided to make overall arrangements for ultra-long-term special treasury bonds to further promote large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods.

　　The Red Star journalist noted that on March 1 this year, the Standing Committee of the State Council deliberated and adopted the Action Plan for Promoting Large-scale Equipment Renewal and Trade-in of Consumer Goods. At that time, the meeting proposed that we should increase fiscal, taxation, financial and other policy support in combination with the differentiated needs of upgrading various types of equipment and consumer goods, give better play to the traction role of energy consumption, emissions, technology and other standards, and promote "trade-in".

　　What signals have been released from the "old-for-new" meeting of the National People’s Congress? How to ensure the policy landing? On July 20th, Bai Ming, a member of the Academic Degrees Committee of the Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, said in an interview with Red Star News reporter that the decision of the Standing Committee of the State Council to further promote large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods is undoubtedly a new kinetic energy for China’s economic development and a key means to promote the development level of manufacturing industry and improve the quality of consumer products.

　　Further promote "trade-in"

　　Ultra-long-term special national debt is a realistic choice.

　　The Standing Committee of the State Council decided to make overall arrangements for extra-long special treasury bonds to further promote large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods.

　　In this regard, Su Jian, a professor at Peking University University of Economics, said in an interview with Red Star News reporter that under the current economic situation, the decision of the Standing Committee of the State Council to make overall arrangements for ultra-long-term treasury bonds to further promote large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods is a practical choice. By issuing ultra-long-term treasury bonds, it will definitely help support economic growth and stabilize the economic situation in the short term.

　　Bai Ming, a member of the Academic Degrees Committee of the Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, also said in an interview with Red Star News that the decision of the Standing Committee of the State Council to further promote large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods is undoubtedly a new kinetic energy for China’s economic development and a key means to promote the development level of manufacturing industry and improve the quality of consumer products.

　　Bai Ming said that by reading the contents of this regular meeting of the State Council, it can be seen that in the process of supporting large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in policies and measures for consumer goods, the "where does the money come from" has been solved — — Issue ultra-long-term special government bonds and "where is the money going" — — It is used for large-scale equipment updating and consumer goods trade-in.

　　Expand the scope of support to

　　Energy and electricity, old elevators and other fields.

　　In March this year, the State Council issued the Action Plan for Promoting Large-scale Equipment Renewal and Trade-in of Consumer Goods, which defined 20 key tasks in five aspects, and proposed that by 2027, the scale of equipment investment in industries, agriculture, construction, transportation, education, cultural tourism, medical care and other fields will increase by more than 25% compared with 2023.

　　The reporter noted that this meeting of the National People’s Congress pointed out that the support methods for equipment renewal projects should be optimized, and the scope of support should be extended to equipment renewal in the fields of energy and electricity, old elevators, and energy conservation, carbon reduction and safety transformation in key industries, so as to lower the declaration threshold and simplify the approval process.

　　In addition, the meeting also pointed out that we should support the scrapping and updating of old operating ships and trucks, raise the subsidy standards for agricultural machinery and new energy buses, and increase the financial discount ratio of equipment renewal loans. Support local governments to enhance the trade-in ability of consumer goods, increase subsidies for scrapping and upgrading automobiles and replacing old household appliances, and implement financial support policies for recycling and processing waste electrical and electronic products.

　　In this regard, Su Jian said that the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress decided to optimize the support methods for equipment renewal projects, and expand the scope of support to equipment renewal in energy and electricity, old elevators and other fields, as well as energy saving, carbon reduction and safety transformation in key industries, indicating that under the current economic situation, strong measures must be introduced to stabilize the economic situation and stimulate economic growth.

　　Su Jian believes that the central government has a strong desire to promote economic growth, and is willing to support economic growth by issuing more government bonds, hoping to upgrade the production technology level of enterprises and improve the development level of the whole industry and the quality of life of the people through equipment renewal and trade-in.

　　Expert advice:

　　We should improve the efficiency of capital utilization as much as possible.

　　Bai Ming suggested that in the process of policy implementation, it is necessary to improve the efficiency of capital utilization as much as possible, and try to choose projects with high technology content that can drive an industry or even drive the development of the industrial chain, so that large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods can really drive economic growth and effectively improve people’s living standards, instead of blindly going to projects in the name of policies, resulting in derivative problems such as waste of funds and resources and overcapacity.

　　"Under the current economic situation, this policy promulgated by the National People’s Congress can be said to be an important starting point for China to stimulate the economy. We need to wait and see its progress and achievements." Bai Ming said.

　　Su Jian also believes that this regular meeting of the National People’s Congress has pointed out that the source of funds is the issuance of government bonds. In the process of policy implementation, it is necessary to ensure that funds can be used for related projects in a timely and sufficient manner, and at the same time, the buyers should have enough funds and confidence to complete equipment renewal and trade-in.

　　"Taking the trade-in of consumer goods as an example, while providing financial subsidies, more measures should be taken to mobilize consumers’ willingness to change, so as to ensure that the policy can finally be transformed into tangible economic growth results." Su Jian said.

　　Deepen the concept of "two mountains" and start again in beautiful countryside — — 2021 beautiful countryside in Dinghai, Zhejiang Province was held a few days ago in Ma ‘ao Village, Dinghai District, Zhoushan City. At the opening ceremony, Dinghai District officially signed a cooperation agreement with UN-Habitat and Tongji University to promote the practice of Dinghai’s net zero-carbon rural areas, and issued guidelines for the planning of net zero-carbon rural areas.

　　Net zero carbon is called carbon neutrality, which refers to offsetting greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide produced by human life through energy saving and emission reduction, industrial adjustment and afforestation, and finally achieving the goal of "net zero emission". In recent years, based on resource endowment and basic advantages, Dinghai has put the concept of net zero carbon throughout the rural revitalization work and actively explored the construction of net zero carbon rural areas.

　　In 2019, Xinjian Village in Dinghai District was unveiled at the first UN Habitat Conference as a typical case of a global net zero-carbon village. Energy-saving aerial power station, unpowered entertainment facilities, sewage recycling … … In Xinjian village, people can enjoy the beautiful rural scenery of light clouds, green mountains and flowing water, dancing butterflies and singing birds, and feel the concept of "net zero carbon" implanted here. This year’s "May Day", the number of tourists who come to Xinjian Village to experience the rural customs has reached a new high, and the practice of net zero carbon has laid a foundation for the construction of beautiful countryside and the long-term development of rural tourism.

　　At present, Dinghai District has formulated ten guidelines for Dinghai’s clean zero-carbon villages according to the United Nations "Guidelines for the Planning of Clean Zero-carbon Villages". Six clean zero-carbon demonstration sites, including Ma ‘ao Village and Huangsha Village, have been upgraded in batches, and digital thinking technology runs through all fields of low-carbon rural construction. Use old wood, tiles and stones to transform houses; In the construction of ecological homestay, "facilities give way to trees", and the original masonry is used to reduce the use of concrete; Reasonable selection of building orientation and location of doors and windows, as far as possible to achieve passive heating and ventilation to reduce energy use … … All development projects in the village are based on the advantages of ecological environment and aim at the development of green and low-carbon cycle.

　　During the beautiful countryside Week, Dinghai also launched a series of supporting activities, using music festivals, sports activities, markets and other diversified forms to build the brand of "Village Agreed Sea", expand the influence of Dinghai beautiful countryside, and polish the "golden business card" of Dinghai rural cultural tourism. Come to the island to ride and camp, pull out the crab cage, and walk in the village to enjoy the flowers and residents’ accommodation. Dinghai Village not only has the beautiful scenery created by "green mountains and green hills", but also reaps the numerous achievements brought by "Jinshan Yinshan".

　　In recent years, the price of mineral resources has been rising due to strong market demand, and some lawless elements have illegally exploited the national mineral resources, which not only destroyed the national mineral resources and the management order in this field, but also caused damage to the ecological environment.

　　Today, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate released four typical cases of procuratorial organs punishing illegal mining of mineral resources according to law. The person in charge of the First Procuratorate of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate answered questions from the reporter of Rule of Law Daily on the overall situation of punishing illegal mining of mineral resources according to law, the characteristics of illegal sand mining crimes and the focus of future work.

　　Reporter: Mineral resources are an important material basis for economic and social development, and the development of mineral resources is related to the national economy and people’s livelihood and national security. What is the overall situation of procuratorial organs punishing the crime of stealing mineral resources according to law? What are the main measures and results?

　　Person in charge of the First Prosecutor’s Office: From 2019 to 2021, the national procuratorial organs approved the arrest of 8,210 cases with 15,253 people and prosecuted 10,561 cases with 25,649 people for illegal mining and destructive mining crimes, which effectively cracked down and shocked the crimes.

　　This kind of crime has many points, long lines and wide areas, and the means are refurbished and repeatedly banned. Procuratorial organs always regard the protection of mineral resources as a major political responsibility and an important political task, constantly strengthen coordination and linkage with courts, public security organs, natural resources and other departments, and work together to promote the continuous improvement of the level of mineral resources protection.

　　Procuratorial organs actively cooperated with public security organs to carry out special rectification actions in the field of natural resources, severely punished "sand tyrants" and "mine tyrants" according to law, and prosecuted 253 criminal cases involving 1960 people involved in illegal mining. Give full play to the advantages of procuratorial integration in handling cases, supervise and supervise major and difficult illegal mining cases, and designate different jurisdictions to ensure the quality of case handling. Insist on early intervention in difficult and complicated illegal mining cases, and put forward opinions on case characterization, legal application and fixed evidence to ensure a precise strike. Strengthen communication with the discipline inspection and supervision organs, transfer the "umbrella" clues in time, and ensure deep penetration.

　　On the other hand, the procuratorial organs pay more attention to recovering and confiscating illegal income, and guide the investigation organs to pursue the persons involved and find out the property involved simultaneously, effectively preventing criminals from transferring and hiding the assets involved in illegal mining, and using various means such as recovering and confiscating illegal income to completely destroy the economic foundation of illegal mining.

　　In handling cases, procuratorial organs give full play to the advantages of "criminal+public interest litigation" system. If criminal acts of destroying mineral resources cause damage to public interests, they shall file criminal incidental civil public interest litigation according to law, and at the same time, they shall be ordered to bear civil liability for compensation, restore the damaged ecological environment and earnestly safeguard environmental public interests.

　　In view of the management loopholes found in the competent departments of the industry in handling cases, the procuratorial organs issued procuratorial suggestions in time to promote source governance. Strictly implement the requirements of "whoever enforces the law and popularizes the law", strengthen policy propaganda and explain the law in combination with handling cases, and enhance the social awareness of protecting the ecological environment and mineral resources.

　　Reporter: In recent years, there have been many cases of illegal sand mining in inland rivers and oceans. What characteristics have the procuratorial organs found in handling these cases? In view of these situations, what experiences and practices have the procuratorial organs summed up in practice?

　　Person in charge of the First Prosecutor’s Office: Against the background of rising sand and gravel prices, crimes of illegally mining river sand and sea sand are on the rise. The characteristics of these cases are that fishermen or shipping practitioners are involved in many cases, and most of them are criminal gangs with tight internal organization and strong anti-detection ability. The illegal mining of river sand often threatens the ecological safety of water bodies, dike safety and navigation safety in waters. At the same time, the case revealed that the placer resource market needs to be standardized.

　　After the implementation of the Yangtze River Protection Law in March, 2021, a serious case of illegal exploitation of river sand occurred in the Yangtze River — — 32 people, including Zhang Moushan, illegally mined, and Ma Mouyu concealed and concealed the proceeds of crime.

　　Due to the large number of people involved, large geographical span and high social concern, in order to completely destroy the criminal group, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate and the Ministry of Public Security jointly listed and supervised the case, efficiently fixed key evidence, and at the same time paid off the illegal income with all their efforts. One of the defendants who committed the crime again and had a criminal record of illegal mining was investigated for punitive damages in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Civil Code, and the "seven inches" of this kind of profit-seeking crime was pinpointed, thus achieving the dual purposes of legal punishment and crime prevention.

　　At present, illegal sand mining has gradually spread from inland rivers to the ocean, and has formed a "mining — Yun — Sales "integrated black industrial chain. Pirates of sea sand and some shipping practitioners work together to commit crimes. They use the method of "separation of mining and transportation" and "selling immediately after mining" to commit crimes. The procuratorial organ handling the case actively guides the investigation organ to collect fixed evidence, and makes every effort to arrest the criminals in the interest chain of the crime of stealing sea sand. For the transportation, intermediary and purchasing personnel who take the initiative to put forward and strengthen their criminal determination in joint crimes, they shall be investigated for their criminal responsibility as accomplices of criminals who steal mineral resources, and according to the status and profit of participants at all levels, the principal and accessory offenders shall be accurately identified to ensure that they are punished as crimes.

　　In order to better improve the quality and efficiency of handling criminal cases against illegal exploitation of sea sand, procuratorial organs strengthened communication with investigation organs and issued documents to guide and standardize the investigation of cases in time, which laid a solid foundation for promoting the normalization and standardization of such cases.

　　Reporter: What measures will the procuratorial organs take to further strengthen the crackdown on the crime of stealing mineral resources?

　　Report to the 20th CPC National Congress, head of the First Prosecutor’s Office, pointed out that Chinese-style modernization is the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. Respecting nature, conforming to nature and protecting nature are the inherent requirements of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. In the next step, the procuratorial organs will do a solid job in the procuratorial protection of mineral resources from various aspects.

　　Procuratorial organs will carry out in-depth special rectification actions in the field of natural resources and continue to severely punish crimes of stealing mineral resources. For major cases, designated jurisdiction, upgraded investigation, and assignment from different places are adopted, and "sand tyrants" and "mine tyrants" are severely punished according to law, forming a joint force to crack down. Adhere to the problem-oriented, make efforts to study and solve outstanding difficulties and problems in judicial handling by issuing and answering opinions, and do a good job in connecting and supporting laws. Actively perform legal supervision duties, further strengthen cooperation with public security organs, marine police agencies, natural resources, water conservancy and other departments, strengthen the connection between administrative law enforcement and criminal justice, and establish a liaison system for daily work. Unify law enforcement standards and applicable standards of laws, and strive to solve the problems of difficult evidence collection and identification of criminal cases that damage the ecological environment. Pay attention to strengthening the connection and coordination between criminal prosecution and public interest litigation, and pay attention to treating both the symptoms and the root causes in view of the limited means of supervision behind the crime of stealing mineral resources and the urgent need to standardize the placer resource market. Further increase the publicity of law popularization. Adhere to normalization and go into towns, mines and other areas to carry out publicity activities for popularizing law. Continue to expose typical cases, and carry out popularization of law by means of case interpretation, etc., to deter illegal and criminal acts.

　　Beijing, November 11 th　　

1905 movie network news　Since the release of Huang Xuan’s brand-new love work, it has won praises from all walks of life, and it is warmly reflected at the end of the year. Long before the film was released, everyone was curious about this new work of Huang Xuan’s return to the big screen after two years — — In an era when the pace of life is getting faster and faster, he is willing to slow down and perform a poetic life of "loving only one person all his life".

With the popularity of the film, Huang Xuan’s performance also gained a good reputation, and his superb acting skills once again brought surprises to the audience: "A seemingly plain but arduous challenge was completed", "The sense of age, language, manners and details were accurately grasped", "There was both excitement and humor, and there was no lack of sadness and restraint. The layering was better than before, the smile was cured, and several times of crying were quite skillful" & … He touched the audience’s mood with delicate and vivid performances, and won unanimous praise from female audiences. At present, the box office of the film has exceeded 100 million. Off-screen, he also boarded the hot search several times for reappearing the classic scenes of the film, which caused heated discussion among netizens.

Huang Xuan’s crying drama hits the heart, and his acting skills are moving and layered.

Huang Xuan’s "famous scenes" in "I don’t know" have also aroused heated discussion among netizens since the film was released. Among them, the wedding vows at the dinner table have become a golden confession sentence, and he also showed dialect versions all over the country in live programs, and there are countless "Dongfeng Style" confession circles. From the perspective of Sui Dongfeng, the whole film tells the touching story of his fulfilling his last wish instead of his beloved wife, which is interspersed with his love past with his wife Luo Yun, and tells the touching love adapted from this real story with the romantic feelings of memories. The filming process of this film is also a quiet journey for Huang Xuan. He wears Dongfeng clothes, reads books and walks every day, and cooks pots and pans. During his few months in New Zealand, he became Sui Dongfeng himself instead of Huang Xuan.

At every roadshow before the film was released, Huang Xuan took the stage to communicate with the audience after the film ended, and accepted their feelings, tears and excitement. However, he kept pressing his emotions and never showed excessive feelings. Just like Sui Dongfeng in the film, he suppressed his pain for a long time after his wife died and buried his thoughts on Luo Yun in his heart until he realized his wish for Luo Yun before his death. The cry for whales became the export of his emotions. Huang Xuan’s several crying scenes are particularly brilliant: the sad cry when he bid farewell to Bruce, the silent tear when he buried the ashes, the silent tears when he held Yun in his hospital bed, and the heart-wrenching crying when he finally scattered the ashes. Under different ages and different time and space environments, every drop of his tears ended up just right, and every detail was handled accurately.

Huang Xuan carefully shaped each character and personally experienced it to bring immersive performances.

A few days ago, Huang Xuan went to a poetry reading party. He recalled that when filming a few years ago, in order to better interpret Bai Juyi’s wanton madness, he picked up a collection of poems and read them every night when he was almost slightly drunk, helping him find the best state to enter the role of a poet. Before filming Only Cloud Knows in the first half of the year, Huang Xuan also specially went to New Zealand to experience life in advance. In those two months, he often took a book out for a walk, shielding all other work, and lived a quiet life belonging to Sui Dongfeng. For Huang Xuan, every character is not easy to come by. It is necessary to understand the cause and effect of the story and the growing environment of the characters. He played a blind pony, went to a blind school to experience life for his role, and made a group of blind friends 3.

Looking back at the role created in Huang Xuan’s previous film and television works, Liu Feng, in the film, has completely and vividly shown the ups and downs of a small person’s half life from his youth and simplicity, to his baptism of blood and fire, and then to his downfall and degradation. Luo Binji and Huang Xuan in the film also won a lot of praise for their superb acting skills. As the camera zooms in, the close-up of the crying at the end of the film expresses his grief, confusion, anxiety and other emotions, which contains great tension in calm. There are too many possibilities for Huang Xuan, and every performance can make people shine.

　　US President Trump, who once declared that "without COVID-19 vaccine, the virus will disappear by itself", recently updated the quotations of Lei Ren at a campaign rally held in Oklahoma — — "Slow down virus detection". Because in his view, testing is a "double-edged sword", and the more tests, the more diagnoses.

　　Contrary to Trump’s imagination, the severity of the epidemic in the United States has intensified recently. According to the latest data from the website of Hopkins University, the number of confirmed cases in COVID-19 has reached 2.279 million, and the death toll is close to 120,000.

　　The US media reported that the proportion of young people infected with COVID-19 in the southern United States continued to rise, and the proportion of infected people increased exponentially after the liberalization of state restrictions.

　　At the same time, the increasingly severe epidemic has seriously hit market confidence. Some experts believe that the plunge of the US dollar and the intensification of inflation are forming a stock market bubble.

　　The epidemic situation in the United States presents a new dangerous trend.

　　In an interview with NBC, Dr. Michael Osterhome, an American infectious disease expert, pointed out that "the number of cases in the United States is now 70% of the peak in early April." He doesn’t think this grim situation will be alleviated in summer or autumn. Osterhome regards the increasingly severe epidemic situation in the United States as a "forest fire". "As long as there is firewood, this is a fire."

　　At a news conference last week, WHO said that more than 150,000 new cases have been reported, almost half of which are from America. Cases in the United States have increased by 15% in the past two weeks, and cases in 22 States are on the rise. Moreover, as states began to lift restrictions and the number of travelers increased, Scott Gottlieb, former director of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), told CBS that the number of confirmed cases in some southern states of the United States began to show an "exponential growth".

　　As experts say, the infection rate in Oklahoma has risen rapidly in recent days. Since the end of April, the death toll in the state has been in single digits, but in the past five days, the state has set a new record. Not only that, according to CNN, more and more young people in southern States of the United States are positive for coronavirus. Greg Abbott, governor of Texas, said last week that young people under the age of 30 in the state constitute the majority of infected cases. Florida Governor Ron De Santis said on the 19th of this month that the average age of newly diagnosed cases last week was 37, and "the virus is attacking people aged 20 to 30".

　　Update of Trump Lei Ren Quotations

　　CBS said that as the number of people infected with Covid-19 in the United States began to surge in mid-March, the Trump administration was widely criticized for its lack of testing programs and its failure to support states to improve their testing capabilities.

　　In response to Trump’s "virus disappearance theory", Dr. Ashish Jaha, director of the Harvard Institute for Global Health, said on CNN: "The virus will not only disappear, but will last for at least 12 months. This is the most optimistic situation for vaccination."

　　Despite severe warnings from experts from all over the United States, hundreds of people gathered in Tulsa, Oklahoma last Saturday to attend Trump’s first re-election campaign rally during the severe epidemic. Although Tulsa announced the highest number of new infections in one day last Saturday — — This is the fifth time this week that a record number of infected people have been reported, but CBS observed that not only did almost no one wear a mask at the rally, but Trump did not wear a mask during his trip outside the White House. White House press secretary Kelly McNarney even told reporters bluntly that she would not wear a mask at this campaign rally.

　　The popularity of the "virus disappearance theory" has just subsided, and Trump has put forward a new theory at this indoor gathering. Trump told a supporter who didn’t wear a mask that he wanted to "slow down the detection speed." According to CBS, Trump explained to supporters that because testing is a "double-edged sword", the acceleration of testing speed has increased the number of confirmed cases in COVID-19. "We are testing for people who have no idea what happened."

　　Dr. tom ingelsby, director of the Health and Safety Center of Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health in the United States, refuted Trump’s new remarks. He believed that the surge in confirmed cases in many States in the south and west of the United States was not only the result of the increase in the number of tests, but "a real increase."

　　Scott gottlieb, former director of the Food and Drug Administration, also expressed the same view on CBS’s "Face the Nation" program, saying: "The rate of positive test results is rising, which clearly shows that the virus is spreading in the community, and this is not only because the number of people being tested has increased."

　　Dr. Osterhome, an infectious disease expert, expressed concern about the recent indoor gatherings in the United States, such as the presidential rally, and believed that Trump’s risk of infection in such indoor gatherings was far greater than the large-scale outdoor demonstrations against police brutality.

　　A stock market bubble is forming.

　　According to the US Consumer News and Business Channel (CNBC), data from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) show that since Covid-19 first attacked the United States in January 2020, the cash in American bank deposit accounts has surged by 2 trillion US dollars, reaching a record high. In April alone, deposits increased by $865 billion, more than the previous record of annual increase in deposit balance. Of the US$ 2 trillion, more than two-thirds have been deposited in the 25 largest banking institutions in the United States, especially JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Citigroup, which have the largest assets in the United States.

　　CNBC pointed out that the surge in deposits was mainly related to the stimulus measures taken by the US government during the epidemic, including the distribution of unemployment benefits and salary subsidies to small businesses and individuals; The Federal Reserve also continuously supports financial markets through unrestricted bond purchase plans; Faced with the uncertainty of the future, both families and global companies have chosen to store cash.

　　"No matter how you look at it, this growth is absolutely extraordinary," said Brian Foran, an analyst at Autonomous Research, a well-known independent research company. Foran believes that super banks have the largest number of American retail customers, and ordinary people have almost no chance to spend money during the period of avoiding the epidemic at home. All the money flows into bank accounts, and banks will definitely lower the already insignificant interest rate, "because they don’t need depositors. More money."

　　CNBC pointed out that if the surge in deposits is only a sign of measures taken to alleviate the financial harm caused by the epidemic, it remains to be seen what will eventually happen to the government’s historic spending spree. Some experts believe that a stock market bubble is forming due to the plunge of the US dollar and the intensification of inflation.

　　In addition to the surge in cash in the deposit accounts of major banks in the United States, the stock index futures in the United States are also falling, and the surge in confirmed cases is hitting market confidence.

　　According to Reuters, S&P 500 index futures fell 0.4%, and fell as high as 1.05% in early trading. Chicago futures NIYc1 shows that the Nikkei 225 index will fall by 1.3%. For this large-scale economic recession caused by the epidemic, more and more people have doubts about whether the economy can rebound quickly in the post-epidemic era.

On the evening of December 26th, the National Health and Wellness Commission issued the "Overall Plan for Implementing" Class B and B Management "for novel coronavirus Infection (hereinafter referred to as the" Plan "), optimized the management of personnel exchanges between China and foreign countries, and cancelled the nucleic acid testing and centralized isolation of all personnel after entry. On the 27th, the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued the Notice on Temporary Measures for the Exchange of Chinese and Foreign Personnel (hereinafter referred to as the Notice), proposing to restore China citizens’ outbound tourism in an orderly manner. After the release of the "Program" and "Notice", it has attracted wide attention from all walks of life at home and abroad. Many international students and business people constantly lament the convenience brought by the new policy to return to China, while some people in China can’t hold back their excitement and start searching for air tickets and planning overseas trips. China’s optimized epidemic prevention measures will not only stimulate domestic demand, but also bring warmth to world economic growth. With the increase of tourists from China, many industries around the world, including tourism, will usher in recovery, the Korean Herald reported on the 27th, citing analysts.

"An important step towards reopening"

On the night of the 26th, the National Health and Wellness Commission issued the "Program", renaming novel coronavirus as novel coronavirus infection; Since January 8, 2023, novel coronavirus infection has been treated with "Class B and B tube". According to the relevant requirements of the Plan, the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council has formulated five supporting documents, such as the Monitoring Plan for the Epidemic Situation of novel coronavirus Infected with Class B and B Tube. On the 27th, the Foreign Affairs Group of the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism issued the Notice on Temporary Measures for the Exchange of Chinese and Foreign Personnel. Since then, the National Immigration Bureau, the Ministry of Transport and other departments have also introduced corresponding optimization management measures.

Singapore’s Lianhe Zaobao noted that according to China’s latest requirements, starting from January 8 next year, people going to China will be tested for nucleic acids 48 hours before departure, and those with negative results can go to China; Cancellation of nucleic acid detection of entry personnel, normal health declaration and no abnormality in routine quarantine at customs ports, can be released into the society; Cancel the number control measures of international passenger flights such as "five ones", "one country, one policy" and load factor restrictions; According to the international epidemic situation and all aspects of service guarantee ability, in line with the principle of pilot first, China citizens’ outbound tourism will be resumed in an orderly manner. In addition, China will also adjust the policy of "stopping passengers and goods" at ports, gradually resume the entry and exit of passengers at land and waterway ports, and provide more convenience for Chinese and foreign crew members to change shifts in China.

"This is an important step for China to reopen." After the "Proposal" and "Notice" were released one after another, international media such as CNN, Associated Press, Reuters, The Wall Street Journal, DPA, French Tribune paid extensive attention to them and made the above comments in unison. On the 27th, Asahi Shimbun, the mainstream Japanese media, also reported the news that "China cancelled the immigration quarantine measures" on the front page of the newspaper. Tokyo News reported on the 27th that the adjustment of epidemic prevention and control policies in China aims at normalizing economic and social activities.

In this regard, Bai Ming, deputy director of the International Market Research Department of the Institute of International Trade and Economic Cooperation of the Ministry of Commerce, said in an interview with the Global Times on the 27th that China is the second largest economy in the world, and both the exchange of personnel and the import and export of goods are in an important position in the world. The adjustment of China’s entry-exit policy is bound to have a far-reaching impact. Bai Ming also mentioned that the adjustment of China’s entry-exit policy was carried out on the basis of fully understanding the changing law of the epidemic situation, and the new policy was more scientific and more in line with the national conditions. "The accumulated experience in epidemic prevention and control in the past three years has enabled China to make overall plans and make major strategic arrangements. Therefore, it is time to optimize China’s entry and exit policies. "

The number of international flight searches has soared by more than 8 times.

"As soon as the policy of canceling the centralized segregation of entry was released, the whole Chinese circle was boiling up, which is definitely a big plus for us stationed overseas." Ms. Chen, who works in Brussels, Belgium, told the Global Times reporter on the 27th that the last time she returned to China was in January 2021. As soon as the policy was introduced on the 26th, she had the idea of going home to visit her parents next Spring Festival. Ms. Chen also told reporters that many business people living in Belgium will benefit from this policy adjustment, especially to stimulate the enthusiasm of some European business people to go to China, which will play a very important role in promoting cultural exchanges and economic and trade exchanges between China and Europe.

Yan Xiao, who is currently working in Berlin and has not been back to his hometown of Wuhan for about three years, also told the Global Times reporter on the 27th that he was going to return to China to reunite with his relatives during the Spring Festival. "In recent years, all my communication with my parents can only be online. It is a great happiness to be able to go home and have a New Year’s Eve dinner with them." Yan Xiao also mentioned that the German consulting company she works for is also looking forward to more customers from China to visit and continue to strengthen the business layout related to China.

The voice of the people is clearly reflected in the search volume of international air tickets for entry and exit on the whole platform. Ctrip said on the 27th that on the morning of the same day, the orders for outbound air tickets from the mainland of China rose sharply compared with the 26th, with an overall increase of 254%. Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong, China, Japan, and Thailand ranked first in the increase of air ticket orders. The order of inbound air tickets in China mainland increased by 412% compared with the morning of 26th, which was 1.6 times of the order of outbound air tickets.

According to the data provided by Flying Pig to the Global Times reporter on the 27th, within one hour after the release of the Plan on the 26th night, the number of international flight searches on the platform surged by more than 8 times, among which the number of inbound flight searches reached the peak since the epidemic. Another online travel platform "Where to Go" data also shows that within 15 minutes after the news was released, the instantaneous search volume of international air tickets increased by 7 times, and the popular destinations were Thailand, Japan and South Korea.　

Xiang Min, the person in charge of the flying pig ticket business, said that with the optimization and adjustment of the entry-exit epidemic policy, everyone’s expectations for entry-exit travel will be quickly translated into action, and the booking of international flights will start soon, especially the inbound flights will take the lead.

At the same time, China’s policy adjustment has brought benefits to Asian stock markets. The Financial Times noted on the 27th that the China stock market led the gains in the whole Asia-Pacific region on Tuesday, with the Shanghai and Shenzhen 300 Index climbing 1% and the Shanghai Composite Index and Shenzhen Component Index rising 0.8%. The French newspaper Tribune mentioned that after China announced the adjustment of its entry policy, the Tokyo Stock Exchange opened higher on the 27th, and ANA Group performed well in intraday trading, while shares of Japanese cosmetics giant Shiseido and chain sales group Takashimaya rose sharply. According to French media analysis, China’s upcoming entry policy will benefit companies related to tourism, among which Japanese companies are in the forefront. Yonhap News Agency quoted the South Korean Stock Exchange on the 27th as saying that since the beginning of this month, the stock indexes related to cosmetics, duty-free shops, tourism and aviation, which are considered to be related to the opening of China, have been on the rise.

Bai Ming said on the 27th that as the most potential market in the world, the new policy to be implemented in China will undoubtedly be welcomed by other countries and regions. Because in the framework of international issues such as economic globalization and global governance, convenient communication with China is a necessary basic condition. This is in the interest of China and the international community.

Some Western media "double standard" reported China policy.

"China is about to reopen, is the world ready?" After China made the decision to optimize the entry-exit policy, the French Embassy in China issued a document in Weibo on the 27th, saying, "China friends, France welcomes you with open arms!"

The US Embassy in China announced on the 27th that the consular offices in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenyang will resume normal consular services on January 3rd, 2023.

However, while boosting the market, the news of China’s adjustment of its entry policy also caused so-called "worries". Some western media even speculated that the new policy would "spread" the epidemic in China. According to Kyodo News reported on the 27th, Japanese Prime Minister kishida fumio announced on the same day that passengers from China to Japan need to be tested upon arrival. Earlier, countries such as India also announced similar measures. The South China Morning Post reported on the 27th that China has gradually optimized its epidemic prevention policy, which triggered a double reaction of optimism and anxiety.

China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said at a regular press conference on the 27th that in the three years since the outbreak of the epidemic, the China government has always adhered to the principle of scientific precision, constantly optimized various epidemic prevention and control measures according to the changes in the epidemic situation, and efficiently coordinated the epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, making important contributions to global unity against the epidemic and world economic recovery.

Wang Wenbin said that at present, it is necessary for all parties to fight the epidemic scientifically and work together to ensure the safe exchange of personnel from all countries, maintain the stability of the global industrial chain supply chain and promote the resumption of world economic growth. China has always believed that epidemic prevention measures in various countries should be scientific and appropriate and should not affect normal personnel exchanges.
