BEIJING, June 10 (Xinhua) According to the website of the Macao SAR Government, Macao Customs recently seized cases of smuggled fruits, a large amount of cash and smart phones at the Macao Port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and Taipa Passenger Terminal respectively, and four people involved were prosecuted by Macao Customs according to law.

　　On June 3rd and 8th, respectively, the customs officers of Macao Port of Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge seized two cases of fruit smuggled into China by vehicles through the "risk management system" and manual sampling. Two Macao vehicles from Hong Kong were seized by customs officers, including litchi, cherry, raisin, honeydew melon and loquat, with a total weight of over 160 kg.

　　The drivers involved in both cases are Macao residents, claiming that the fruits were purchased from Hong Kong for retail and personal use. Macao Customs has handed over the relevant cases and the fruits seized without quarantine to the Urban Services Department for handling. The Customs reminded that bringing fruits into Macao must comply with the regulations on personal consumption to avoid prosecution.

　　In addition, on June 7th and 8th, Macau Customs intercepted two passengers who chose the green channel (no need to declare the channel) at the entry inspection area of Taipa Passenger Terminal, and seized a large amount of cash and a large number of old smartphones respectively.

　　On June 7, customs officers found a large amount of cash in the backpacks carried by passengers, and the total amount was verified to be HK$ 3.5 million after counting. The next day, when the customs officers inspected a suspicious-looking inbound passenger, they found 80 old smartphones at his waist and in his backpack, all of which were of the same brand and claimed to be worth about HK$ 70,000.

　　None of the people involved made a voluntary declaration to the customs and failed to produce valid declaration documents. The customs has prosecuted two passengers involved in the case according to law. The person involved in carrying cash illegally claims that the cash is used for entertainment, and he is suspected of violating the relevant provisions of Macao Law No.6/2017 "Regulation on Carrying Cash and Bearer Negotiable Bills into and out of China". Once fined, he will be fined MOP 1000 yuan to RMB500,000 according to the amount exceeding the specified amount.

　　The person involved in smuggling mobile phones into China is a decoration worker, claiming that the phones were purchased from Hong Kong and brought to Australia for sale. The Macao Customs has prosecuted him according to the relevant provisions of the Foreign Trade Law. Upon conviction, offenders can be fined MOP 1000 yuan to RMB50,000, and the seized mobile phones will also be owned by the Macao Special Administrative Region.

　　In view of the fact that the Macao Customs intercepted several cases of hiding old smart phones by body at the Macao Port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge earlier, it is believed that the above-mentioned case of smuggling mobile phones at Taipa Ferry Terminal was an attempt by criminals to change their routes to avoid customs inspection.

　　Macao Customs reiterated that it will continue to strengthen the crackdown at various ports, and maintain close contact and information exchange with customs in neighboring regions to crack down on all kinds of illegal activities.

　　Beijing, June 23 (Reporter Li Jinlei) In 2021, the pension rose 17 times, and all localities are cashing in.

　　As of June 21st, more than 20 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have announced the pension adjustment plan for 2021, which has started the increase of pensions. Many provinces have reissued their rising pensions. How much have you increased?

　　Pensions rose by 4.5% overall this year.

　　According to the notice of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the Ministry of Finance on adjusting the basic pension for retirees in 2021, the overall national adjustment ratio is determined according to 4.5% of the monthly basic pension for retirees in 2020. Each province takes the national overall adjustment ratio as the upper limit, and determines the adjustment ratio and level of the province.

　　This is the 17th consecutive year that pensions have risen, and it is also the 6th consecutive year that retirees from enterprises, institutions and institutions have raised their pensions simultaneously.

　　More than 20 provinces announced pension adjustment plans.

　　According to the incomplete statistics of the reporters of Zhongxin. com, as of June 21st, at least more than 20 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in China, including Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Liaoning, Jilin, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Ningxia, Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Hebei, Gansu, Fujian, Tibet, Shanxi and Hainan, have announced specific plans for pension adjustment.

　　Who can participate in the pension adjustment this year? Retirees who have gone through retirement procedures before December 31, 2020 and received a basic pension on a monthly basis can enjoy this year’s pension increase.

　　Pensions are raised in the form of "three combinations"

　　Many people think that a 4.5% increase in pensions means a 4.5% increase in their own pension base, but this is not the case. In terms of specific adjustment methods, all localities have adopted the "three-in-one" method of combining quota adjustment, hook adjustment and appropriate inclination.

　　Among them, quota adjustment refers to the unified increase of the same amount of pensions for all types of retirees in the same area, reflecting social equity; Hook adjustment means that the increased pension is linked to the individual payment period and pension level, which embodies the incentive mechanism of "paying more and getting more" and "paying more for a long time", so that people who pay more and pay more for a long time can get more pensions; Appropriate tilt reflects the key concern, mainly for the elderly retirees and other groups to take care of.

　　Tibet has the highest amount of quota adjustment.

　　In terms of quota adjustment, at present, the quota adjustment amount in Tibet reaches 113 yuan per person per month, which is far higher than that in other regions, and it is the only region that has broken through the 100 yuan mark at present.

　　According to the pension adjustment schemes in various places, Shanghai quota adjustment will increase 70 yuan, Beijing quota adjustment will increase 50 yuan, Shanxi quota will increase 51 yuan, Anhui quota will increase 35 yuan, Jiangxi quota will increase 40 yuan, Henan quota will increase 50 yuan, Hubei quota will increase 37 yuan and Hunan quota will increase 45 yuan.

　　Hook adjustment "double hook" is the mainstream

　　In terms of the adjustment of the link, Shanghai is a single link, that is, this year, it is only linked to the pension level by 3%, and it is not linked to the payment period. The remaining provinces are linked to the payment period and pension level.

　　For example, Anhui has made it clear that the 2 yuan will be increased every year of payment. Increase by 1% based on my basic pension in December 2020.

　　Tilt adjustment These people can raise more money.

　　In terms of tilt adjustment, mainly senior retirees, retirees in hard and remote areas, and retired military cadres from enterprises have enjoyed extra care and can increase their money.

　　For example, Ningxia is clear. First, those who are 70 years old and under 75 years old will add 10 yuan, those who are 75 years old and under 80 years old will add 15 yuan, and those who are over 80 years old will add 20 yuan; Second, 20 yuan will be added to the hard and remote areas, and 25 yuan will be added to the hard and remote areas; Third, the adjustment of the enterprise’s demobilized cadres below 4407 yuan to 4407 yuan.

　　Can everyone go up by 4.5%?

　　4.5% is the overall per capita level of basic pension adjustment for all retirees. The People’s Social Welfare Department of many places explained that for each retiree, due to different payment years and pension levels, the actual increase in the absolute amount of pension is different, and the corresponding proportion of personal pension is also different.

　　Generally speaking, the absolute amount of the basic pension will be relatively high for those who have a long service life and a high level of payment wages.

　　For example, Shanxi enterprise retirees are 65 years old, with a pension of 3,000 yuan and a payment period of 30 years. This year, the quota can be increased and adjusted. 51 yuan+payment period is adjusted for 30 years ×2 yuan+pension is adjusted for 3,000 yuan ×1.2%=147 yuan, with an increase of 4.9%.

　　When will the rising pension be reissued?

　　When will this year’s rising pension be reissued to retirees? Judging from the current clear timetable for the replacement of pensions in various places, it is basically no later than July 1.

　　Among them, on May 18th, Shanghai has reissued the pension for retired employees, and on June 15th, Beijing reissued the pension for retired employees. Tianjin, Jiangsu, Henan, Hebei and other provinces clearly reissued their accounts before the end of June. Anhui, Gansu, Liaoning, Ningxia, Xinjiang, etc. are clearly required to reissue their accounts before July 1.

　　It is worth noting that the distribution time may vary from place to place, but for retirees, no matter when they start to organize distribution, they will be reissued from January 1, 2021.
