Global insight into how the United States undermines global environmental governance: what about not ratifying the Convention on Biological Diversity in the past 30 years?

  In the past week, the first phase of the 15th Conference of the Parties (COP15) of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity was successfully held in Kunming, China. However, during this meeting, all parties also noticed that the United States has not completed the ratification procedure for 30 years since it signed the Convention in the 1990s.

  With a total of 196 parties, the Convention on Biological Diversity has developed into one of the international environmental conventions with the largest number of countries. As one of the most developed countries in the world, the absence of the United States has undoubtedly caused significant damage to the global efforts to protect biodiversity and prevent species extinction.

  △ Quartz, a business news website, wrote that the refusal of the United States to ratify the Convention on Biological Diversity may weaken the protection of biodiversity at home and abroad.

  Internal party struggles shut out the global environmental protection plan

  At the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1992, the Convention on Biological Diversity was opened for signature by all countries. Many countries, including China, signed this historic convention on the spot, but the United States chose to give up at that time.

  △ At the Rio Conference in 1992, leaders of various countries enthusiastically signed the Convention on Biological Diversity under the witness of then-UN Secretary-General Boutros Ghali (right). However, the then US President George W. Bush did not sign it.

  The reason for not signing is simple — — 1992 was an election year in the United States.

  At that time, President George H.W. Bush was fiercely competing with Democrat Clinton for the presidency, and many senators in Bush’s Republican Party opposed signing the Convention on Biological Diversity. The Republican Party, which represents the interests of large enterprises, believes that the Convention will "infringe" US sovereignty, endanger domestic commercial interests and increase the financial burden.

  Clinton won the election in 1992 and signed the Convention on Biological Diversity shortly after taking office. But signing does not mean joining. If the United States really wants to join the Convention, it still needs the approval of more than two-thirds of the Senate. However, due to the obstruction of the Republican Party, the Convention has not been approved by Congress.

  △ VOX, an American news website, quoted an expert’s point of view in the article "Why didn’t the United States join the most important treaty to protect nature", pointing out that conservative nationalists in the United States (including the Senate) have long distrusted international agreements and regarded them as "efforts by the United Nations and foreign governments to restrict the independence of the United States Constitution, interfere in the activities of the American private sector and create redistributive plans".

  Now 30 years later, these people’s ideas have not changed at all. Shortly after Biden took office as president, the American right-wing think tank released a report calling on the Senate to continue to boycott international treaties such as the Convention on Biological Diversity during Biden’s tenure, on the grounds that they "threatened US sovereignty".

  However, environmental experts point out that there is no evidence to support this statement. What’s more, the Convention on Biological Diversity itself clearly stipulates that countries retain jurisdiction over their own environment.

  △ Stuart Patrick, director of the International Institutions and Global Governance Program of the American Council on Foreign Relations, clearly emphasized in his book "Sovereign War" that the Convention on Biological Diversity does not pose a threat to US sovereignty.

  Although environmental supporters have been urging the United States to join the Convention on Biological Diversity as soon as possible for many years, they also realize that in the increasingly polarized United States, the policy direction is completely subject to "veto politics", and conservative politicians simply do not have enough will to fulfill any international obligations.

  To this end, Sarah Sanders, a researcher at the Audubon Institution in the United States, and Maria Mick, an assistant professor at Michigan State University, jointly published a column warning that the global biodiversity policy is at a critical crossroads. "We (the United States) need a place, otherwise it will be too late."

  The United States itself has tasted the consequences of arbitrary behavior.

  The refusal of the United States to ratify the Convention on Biological Diversity not only seriously undermined the global biodiversity protection plan, but also made the United States taste the consequences.

  Federal wildlife officials announced last month that 22 species of wild animals and 1 species of wild plants in the United States, such as ivory-billed woodpecker, will be declared extinct and will be removed from the endangered species list due to poor protection.

  According to data provided by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), nearly 3 billion birds have been lost in North America since 1970. Take Hawaii as an example. There used to be more than 50 species of forest birds in Hawaii, but there are only 17 species left.

△ The New York Times pictures

  The British "Guardian" recently issued a document summarizing many threats to global biodiversity, and first pointed out "destructive land use". Among them, the outstanding performance is the United States.

  The article cites the research results of American experts and points out that from 2008 to 2016, 4 million hectares of land in the United States were destroyed. In particular, the destructive development of the prairie in the United States is "equivalent to deforestation of tropical forests." This grassland, once the largest in the world, has now been used for agriculture. However, the recently developed agricultural land has been downgraded to sub-optimal level, and its agricultural output is 70% lower than the national average.

  In fact, apart from the Convention on Biological Diversity, there are many multilateral environmental treaties that the United States has signed but never ratified. What’s more, the United States, as the largest emitter in global history, formally withdrew from the Paris Agreement aimed at tackling global climate change in November last year. This is described by global public opinion as a "major retrogression."

  It is worth noting that both the Convention on Biological Diversity and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change were signed at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio in 1992. In the eyes of professionals, protecting biodiversity and tackling climate change are global environmental protection issues of equal importance.

  As Elizabeth Murema, Executive Secretary of the Secretariat of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, said in a recent interview, climate change and biodiversity are interrelated. "When we talk about mountain fires, we are talking about forests, and forests are biodiversity. If biodiversity is not considered, the solution of climate change alone will not help to slow down climate change. "

△ Elizabeth Murema

  With the upcoming 26th Conference of the Parties (COP26) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, what the United States has done is becoming the biggest uncertainty in the field of global environmental governance.

  In this regard, Zhao Lijian, a spokesman for China’s Foreign Ministry, said a few days ago that the United States should change its utilitarian practices in participating in international affairs as soon as possible, shoulder its due international responsibilities and obligations, earnestly proceed from the well-being of people around the world and win the trust of the international community with practical actions.

  But what the world wants to know is, when will the United States, which has refused to ratify the Convention on Biological Diversity for decades, retreat when it wants to enter the Paris Agreement … …

C video Tang Tan AR glasses are so hot, why are they hard to see on the street?

Xinhua News Agency, Tokyo, July 25th (Reporter Gong Bing, Wan Pung Chow, Zhao Yan) The Tokyo Olympic Games, which was postponed for one year, finally opened, and the athletes who had been preparing for the war for five years finally had a chance to display their fists and feet. Whether it’s the joy of Sun Yiwen’s sword to seal his throat or the frustration of two-time Olympic champion Wu Jingyu who missed the medal, it’s all part of life.

Sticking to Tokyo is a blessing for athletes and even more so for sports.

The same is true for rowers, who are dormant for five years and released once. 522 athletes are competing in the Haizhisen Water Arena, which is located between two reclamation areas in Tokyo Bay. This figure ranks among the top in the number of individual athletes in the Olympic Games. Rowing, kayaking and sailing share the reputation of water-based sports (a total of 40 gold medals).

Rowing is not well-known in China, and people may still leave the impression that Tang Bin, Jin Ziwei, Xi Aihua and Zhang Yangyang won the first gold medal in rowing in China in the women’s quadruple sculls final at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. But rowing enjoys a high reputation in the international sports world, as well as in the Olympic Games.

Want to know the story behind the rowing boat? Let the reporter tell you the correct way to open the rowing boat.

Knowledge point 1: It has a long history.

Rowing originated in England. In 1775, Britain formulated the first competition rules and established a rowing club. In 1829, Oxford University and Cambridge University held the first inter-school rowing competition on the Thames, which is regarded as the origin of modern rowing, and this competition continues to this day.

Rowing was originally included in the first Olympic Games in 1896. Although it could not be held because of the weather, rowing has entered the history of modern Olympic Games. At the 1900 Paris Olympic Games, the men’s rowing competition was held. In 1976, the Montreal Olympic Games set up a women’s rowing event.

In 1892, the International Rowing Federation was established in Italy and became the first member of the International Olympic Committee. Coubertin, the second president of the International Olympic Committee and the father of the modern Olympic movement, was a rower.

Rowing is one of the earliest modern sports in China. In 1859, there was rowing in the modern sports competition held in Waitanyuan, the intersection of Huangpu River and Suzhou River.

Knowledge point 2: Evergreen

There is no fierce physical confrontation in rowing competition, rather than a contest between opponents, it is a process of surpassing oneself. Rowers often have a long sports career, and athletes who have participated in more than three Olympic Games can be found everywhere. They became famous when they were young, and they still galloped in the field when they were not confused.

Redgrave, a famous British rower, won gold medals in five consecutive Olympic Games. Olaf Tift, a 45-year-old Norwegian rower, appeared in the Tokyo Olympic Games, which was his seventh Olympic Games.

Knowledge point 3: the pearl in the crown

There are 14 events in the Olympic rowing competition, including single, double, four and eight events, including single paddle and double paddle, which not only tests individuals, but also competes with teams.

Among them, the best rowers often appear in the single sculls event, which is the only event that relies entirely on the athletes’ strong personal ability. Players who win Olympic gold medals usually enjoy heroic honors.

But to say who is the jewel in the crown, it must be an eight-person boat.

Eight-person boat is the only rowing event in the Olympic Games that retains the helmsman. Because rowers compete with their backs to the finish line, the helmsman becomes the only one facing the finish line, so the eight-person boat is actually a cooperative project of nine athletes. The helmsman is the soul of the team, controlling the direction, grasping the rhythm, judging the situation and inspiring teammates. The eighth position closest to the helmsman is often the core member of the eight-person boat, which controls the paddle frequency rhythm of the whole boat. The rowers in the middle are called power rowers, and they need to paddle powerfully to make the rowing boat move forward quickly. At the No.1 and No.2 positions near the bow, the rowers should keep the balance of the boat while rowing. Eight-person boat is the perfect combination of athletes’ individual ability and team spirit.

The eight-person boat has the fastest speed, the neatest cooperation and the strongest strength display in rowing. If you overlook the game from the air by aerial photography, the appreciation of the final of the eight-person boat can only be described in one word: awesome! The final of the eight-person boat has always been the finale of the Olympic Games.

Rowing competition is often fierce, and the medals in an Olympic Games are usually scattered. If you can win two or three gold medals, you will be regarded as a rowing power.

Knowledge point 4: aristocratic movement? Civilian movement?

In 1829, Oxford University and Cambridge University held the first inter-school rowing competition on the Thames, which was regarded by many as the origin of modern rowing. Since then, modern rowing has been inseparable from prestigious schools, which are closely related to the aristocratic class. Rowing is highly respected by the upper and middle class in Britain. This kind of team event requires tacit cooperation and etiquette of the players, as well as the support of family members. Rowing provides a social place for the upper class.

Different from the previous aristocratic and elite, rowing has become a national sport in Britain after entering the modern society. There are hundreds of rowing clubs in Britain, most of which are located in communities. Many British middle schools regard rowing as one of the important extracurricular activities for students.

In China, rowing is no longer as hard to reach as it used to be. There is a rowing club in Shunyi Olympic Water Park, and the holding of events such as land rowing, enterprise masters and prestigious schools has also stimulated people’s interest in rowing. On the one hand, rowing keeps its "aristocratic attribute" of respecting etiquette, on the other hand, it is accelerating the popularization and marketization, and the development space is increasingly broad.

Knowledge point 5: Olympic love

China rowing has won 1 gold, 4 silver and 4 bronze in previous Olympic Games, involving 23 athletes. Among them, the first medal was won in 1988, and the first gold medal was won in 2008. After 13 years, is China rowing expected to see gold again?

Judging from the current situation, the women’s quadruple sculls team of China, the world champion in 2019, advanced directly to the finals of Group A in the Olympic preliminaries, and the lead over the second place in the group was as high as 4.30 seconds, so there is great hope for winning gold.

Beijing issues new policy for senior high school entrance examination.

  The number of scoring subjects in the middle school entrance examination was reduced to six, the scores of history, geography, chemistry and biology were presented in grades, the written examination of morality and rule of law was adjusted from closed book to open book, and the experimental operation of physics subjects was included in the senior high school entrance examination score … …

  On September 26th, the Beijing Municipal Education Commission held a press conference to release and interpret the "Implementation Opinions on Further Promoting the Examination Enrollment Reform in Senior High Schools" (hereinafter referred to as "Opinions").

  The scoring subject has been "greatly subtracted"

  Li Wei, director of the Beijing Municipal Education Commission, introduced that this reform aims to continue to implement the requirements of the Ministry of Education on the junior high school level examination, which is "open for all subjects and use for all examinations". According to the characteristics of different disciplines, the junior high school level examination subjects are divided into three categories: examination, examination and assessment.

  According to the requirements of the Opinions, the reform of the senior high school entrance examination will be implemented from the current eighth-grade students.

  After the reform, the subjects of the senior high school entrance examination include morality and rule of law, Chinese, mathematics, foreign languages, physics, physical education and health. The scores of Chinese, mathematics and foreign languages are all 100 points, including 60 points for written foreign languages and 40 points for listening and speaking tests. Morality and rule of law score 80 points, including 70 points for written test and 10 points for comprehensive quality evaluation. Physical score is 80, including 70 for written test and 10 for experimental operation. The score of sports and health is 70 points, including 30 points for on-site examination and 40 points for process assessment.

  The examination subjects include history, geography, chemistry and biology, and the grades are presented in grades, which are divided into A, B, C and D from high to low. The examination subjects are used for graduation and reference in further studies.

  The examination subjects include information technology, art, labor and comprehensive practical activities, and the results are presented as qualified or unqualified for graduation and reference in further studies.

  In terms of organization and implementation, the examination subjects will be unified by the whole city and graded by districts. The written examination of ethics and rule of law, Chinese, mathematics, foreign languages and physics is arranged in the second semester of grade nine. The physical education and health examination is implemented step by step in accordance with the Beijing Compulsory Education Physical Education and Health Assessment Scheme. The foreign language listening and speaking test adopts the computer test method, which is separated from the written test and has two test opportunities, which has not changed compared with the past.

  Returning to subject accomplishment and doing "small addition"

  It is worth noting that in the subjects of the reformed senior high school entrance examination, the written examination of morality and rule of law has been adjusted from closed book to open book, and the comprehensive quality evaluation has been included in the results of the senior high school entrance examination; Physics subjects include experimental operations in the results of the senior high school entrance examination.

  Li Wei introduced that morality and rule of law should pay attention to students’ good moral quality and behavior development. Open-book examination is not to let students look up answers from books, but to give new situations, new materials and real questions. If the answers are reasonable, they will be given points. The physics experiment operation is included in the results of the senior high school entrance examination, aiming at guiding the cultivation of children’s practical ability and innovative consciousness through scene and experiential physics learning.

  In this reform, history, geography, chemistry and biology were changed from examination subjects to examination subjects, and the results were presented in the form of grades. Li Wei introduced that the adjustment of examination subjects is comprehensively determined according to the subject characteristics, class schedule and course standard requirements of related subjects in junior high school. In junior high school, these four subjects are mainly to stimulate students’ interest in learning and cultivate subject thinking, thus laying the foundation for senior high school learning. The purpose of adjusting these four subjects into examination subjects is to get rid of the examination and return to the teaching itself, encourage teachers to better organize teaching activities from the characteristics of disciplines and students’ cognitive laws, guide students to maintain curiosity and thirst for knowledge, learn to find and solve problems in real situations, and have the ability to explore and innovative spirit.

  Take multiple measures to ensure the effectiveness of the policy

  Is it necessary to learn the subjects that are no longer included in the senior high school entrance examination results? Will it cause the separation of junior high school and senior high school subjects?

  He Shanshan, a chemistry teacher in Beijing No.171 Middle School with 25 years’ teaching experience, told reporters that the reform of the senior high school entrance examination has adjusted the chemistry subject into an examination subject, reduced the burden of students’ examination, further promoted teachers and students to return to chemistry learning itself, and inspired teachers to better organize teaching activities from the characteristics of the subject and the cognitive laws of students. In view of how to do a good job in chemistry teaching under the background of senior high school entrance examination reform, He Shanshan suggested that experiments should be taken as the starting point to guide students to find and solve problems in experimental inquiry activities, build and use models, understand the ins and outs of knowledge, understand the subject thinking methods and develop innovative thinking ability. We should take practical activities as the carrier, explore the establishment of interdisciplinary and project-based learning methods, and make good use of the 10 interdisciplinary practical activities suggested in the new curriculum standard to stimulate students’ independent practical exploration spirit and learning enthusiasm.

  According to reports, Beijing will further standardize curriculum teaching, requiring junior high schools to strictly implement compulsory education curriculum plans and curriculum standards, and must not arbitrarily increase or decrease class hours, change the difficulty, speed up the progress, and must not finish classes in advance to prepare for exams and strengthen supervision and evaluation; Further improve the quality of proposition, focusing on the ability of students to analyze and solve problems by using what they have learned; Further optimize the enrollment mechanism, combine the diversified development of high school, and deepen the organic combination of multiple evaluation methods and enrollment methods.

  "At present, we are simultaneously improving the multi-channel and new carrier enrollment and training methods, deepening the reform and collectivization of running schools in district system, promoting the integration of talent training, and providing students with diversified ways of further studies and diversified growth paths." Li Wei said.

How the "celebrities" fell, Ding Ling had written in this novel.

Original Xiaobei Peking University Publishing House
Recently, an article entitled "I lurked in Shanghai’s" celebrities "group and was a celebrity observer for half a month" triggered a hot discussion on the Internet.

According to the author of the article, he spent 500 yuan to enter a "Shanghai Celebrity" WeChat group, and found that behind the luxurious and top celebrity group, its essence is just a group of advanced Pinduoduo group of young women who are wrapped up in consumption:

From afternoon tea for two in luxury hotels to luxury hotel rooms, to famous cars and bags, and even second-hand stockings worth 600 yuan, they are all in the scope of "spelling orders", and the purpose is only to borrow these items to take decent photos and set up their own "celebrities" on social media.

For a time, "celebrity group" became a hot word on the Internet, and many netizens also ridiculed to "spell" into "celebrity".

-Does anyone spell down jackets? I only use it in winter, and you wear it the rest of the time.

-Is anyone working hard? I’ll go on payday, and you can go at other times.

-Is there anyone spelling a lesson? I’ll suffer a little. As long as it’s ten minutes between classes, the rest of the time is yours.

Although the authenticity of the news about the celebrity group has yet to be verified, this kind of phenomenon has been happening all the time, that is, using the Internet and the rich industrial chain to earn profits.
When young women fantasize about packaging luxury cars, villas and second-hand stockings into "celebrities" and making friends with "financial giants" to achieve class leap … When we are eager to part with Shanghai "celebrities" and get involved in the carnival of criticism …

Let’s take a look at Ding Ling’s Dream Ke first. While some "celebrities"/female stars are accustomed to and accept that their images are consumed as objects of desire in the process of modernization, Ding Ling reveals the specific historical and social problems of women’s liberation dilemma and asks how women can find new possibilities for liberation.

Pleasing people with the body is the oldest profession.

"Pleasing people with a beautiful body is the oldest profession in the world, and it is also a very common women’s profession."

-Zhang Ailing

Ding Ling’s short story Meng Ke, published in 1927, tells the story of how Meng Ke, a pure female student who is not lacking in naivety, gradually got used to the gaze of omnipresent desire from her aversion and even resistance to men’s gaze in the city, and finally joined the film industry and became a female star herself.

In the autumn of 1934, Shanghai Liangyou Book Printing Co., Ltd. published a photo collection of China film actresses for eight female stars, including Hu Die, Ruan Lingyu, Wang Renmei, Chen Yanyan, Yuan Meiyun, Ye Qiuxin, Jerry Lai and Xu Lai.

Ye Qiuxin Album of Photographs of China Film Actresses.

The back cover is a photo of eight female stars.

In order to cause a sensation in the entertainment industry at that time, Liangyou Company hosted a banquet for eight female stars on September 8, and the photos of the eight stars were immediately published in newspapers and magazines such as Shenbao, Human World and Film Illustrated, which spread all over the country. In the 1930s, the saying of "eight female stars" in Shanghai became popular.

The cover of Chen Yanyan in "Photographs of China Film Actresses"

Each episode of "Photographs of Female Movie Stars in China" contains more than 20 photos of a female star, most of which are half-length photos, mostly posing, and a few photos of life. Dress in cheongsam, casual clothes, occasionally sportswear, and slightly sexy photos of wearing miniskirts, but more clothes are fashionable ladies’ clothes.

One episode of Hu Die received a bodybuilding sports photo with a tennis racket, but his posture was awkward. Obviously, he rarely played tennis. Ruan Lingyu is dressed in cheongsam, and there is also a photo with a tennis racket in her arms. It can be seen that tennis racket is a sports fashion prop designed for female stars to take pictures.

Ruan Lingyu, one of the eight female stars.

Generally speaking, "Photographs of Female Movie Stars in China" does not have the exposed and sexy style that the photos of Hollywood female stars in the same period often have, and the lady temperament with aesthetic sentiment is the actress image that the photographer tries to create.

Xu Lai, one of the eight female stars.

Film lovers among ordinary citizens and fans in idolize can enjoy the sweet images of female stars with the help of this photo collection, and project their subconscious daydreams in the world of simulacra through the photographer’s shooting lens.

An inescapable gaze of desire.

"Women in advertisements are not only objects to be stared at, but also objects to be bought and sold."

——Wykes

Ding Ling’s Dream Ke reflects the status of women as objects of desire in the city, and reveals the ubiquitous male eyes that make women hide.

Ding Ling (1904-1986)

The novel begins with the humiliation of a female student model, and behind it is the gaze logic of urban men’s eyes:

By the curtain, on the low couch covered with crimson Red Velvet, a model who hasn’t put on her outer clothes is silently wiping her tears; When I saw the eyes of this group of intruders trying to find out some facts, I fell down on the couch and my muscles trembled under a big shirt as thin as cicada.

It was Meng Ke, a female student, who bravely rescued this female model from the public eye.

After experiencing the modernity and glitz of the city, Meng Ke gradually changed from a "female student" to a "Modern Girl". Her eyes were gradually captured by the logic of "staring", and she increasingly recognized the urban entertainment and consumption space frequented by her cousins, and she became a "female star" with no choice, and participated in and shared the urban entertainment and consumption space in another way.

The novel ends like this:

In the future, I will keep forbearing and continue to go to this purely sensual society. I am used to that strange scene, and I can slowly be fearless and calm, which will make her forbearing stronger and greater, and make her endure very rude insults.

At present, there should be quite a few writers, dramatists, directors, critics who claim to be Shanghai, and poor underlings who shout for them in some kind of newspapers and magazines.

Everyone uses the words of "beautiful country" and "close the moon and feel ashamed of flowers" to hold this Lin Lang, who has always been forbearing, as an unprecedented female star on the screen, in the hope of getting satisfaction from her, or just getting a little superficial pleasure from this desire.

This kind of gaze full of desire has some unique characteristics in modern times, which is manifested in its close combination with modern city and modern technology, that is, it is generated as a "technical view" in modern urban culture.

Due to the progress of technology, this "technical view" is not the same as the time when Ximen Qing leered at Pan Jinlian’s "Golden Lotus" and Jia Baoyu paid attention to Xue Baochai’s wrist. Modern men can get the possibility and freedom to view women justifiably from various video media without facing women directly.

When modern urban women, especially some female movie stars, are attracted by the audience and readers in movies, magazines, advertisements, shop windows and such as "female star photo albums" through "technical" image media, the projection of instinctive desire is not directly directed against women’s bodies because they are separated from the scene being examined face to face.

Therefore, it is difficult for urban women to be conscious and alert to this observed object status, and they may even gradually get used to and succumb to this technical viewing situation, and even get great psychological satisfaction in the imagination that has attracted much attention.

The shooting scene of life photos of female stars in the Republic of China

From the initial resistance of Meng Ke in Ding Ling’s works to "surprise and doubt", to "forbearance" and being able to "endure very rude insults", and then to the appearance of "Photographs of China Film Actresses", it is a process in which some modern female stars in China have become accustomed to "viewing" from vigilance and strangeness, and finally take the initiative to cater to and even please.

The dilemma of women’s liberation

"Women are not born, but made."

-Beauvoir

Whether it is Meng Ke who fell into the abyss of desire under the gaze of men, the "eight female stars" trapped in the cage of consumer culture in Shanghai, or the "celebrities" in Shanghai who are addicted to the flashy illusion of "spelling" today, it is very easy to criticize and accuse them of depravity, money worship, fragility and uncertainty.

However, as Beauvoir said, "Women are not born, but acquired", it may be more worthwhile for us to reflect on the social institutional problems behind women’s liberation dilemma and pursue new possibilities for women’s liberation.

In Meng Ke, Ding Ling did not discuss "what happened after Nora left" on a rational level, but contextualized the abstract slogan of "liberation" under the specific historical background of urban consumption culture, social gaze logic and female class differentiation, and painted a desperate picture through "visual intertextuality":

On the one hand, the slogan of women’s liberation is more and more "empty" because it can’t respond to the divided social situation; On the other hand, the newly established modern system has exhausted the potential of "liberation", but instead "institutionalized" the insult to women in the commercial environment.

Faced with this situation, how to find a new possibility of "liberation" for women is a question that Ding Ling kept asking but could not answer in the post-May 4th era.

Ding Ling and her mother were in Changde, Hunan in 1923.

In fact, we still face the problems raised by Ding Ling during the May 4th Movement. The dilemma faced by Mengke is not a historical prospect. There are still many potential traps in women’s liberation today, such as the discipline of women’s bodies in a patriarchal society, the gaze of men, the trap of consumer culture and so on.

When we accuse Shanghai’s "celebrities" of being vain about money worship, we should also be alert to the bias of misogyny. When today’s women seem to have emerged from the surface of history and become half the sky, we should be more alert to the obstacles of some collective unconscious and social institutional problems left over from history to women’s liberation.

Great achievements have been made in various fields. China’s high-quality development has "broken the waves and moved forward"

CCTV News:On April 24th, the latest news of China Aerospace was released, and the Shenzhou-18 manned spacecraft was planned to be launched at 20: 59 on April 25th. For more than 60 years, from "two bombs and one satellite" to "Chang ‘e" to explore the moon, "Zhu Rong" to explore the fire and "Tiangong" to roam the stars … … China Aerospace always dreams of the stars and the sea, and will fly to a wider deep space this year.

China space accelerates exploration to new heights.

The launch window of Shenzhou-18 manned spacecraft confirmed that astronauts appeared in groups.

On April 24th, the press conference of Shenzhou-18 manned mission was held in Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. It is planned to launch the Shenzhou-18 manned spacecraft at 20: 59 on April 25th, and three astronauts will make a collective appearance.

At the press conference, a spokesman for China’s manned spaceflight project introduced the relevant situation of this mission. At 11 noon, the flight crew of Shenzhou 18 met with Chinese and foreign journalists in Wentian Pavilion. The crew consisted of astronauts Ye Guangfu, Li Cong and Li Guangsu. Commander Ye Guangfu has carried out the manned mission of Shenzhou XIII, and Li Cong and Li Guangsu are the third batch of astronauts in China, both of whom are flying for the first time.

Shenzhou 17, which is carrying out its mission in the space station, is in orbit to watch the press conference and press conference of Shenzhou 18 manned mission.

At present, the state of the space station assembly and all equipment are working normally, the product quality of the Shenzhou-18 rocket assembly is controlled, the ground system facilities and equipment are running stably, and all preparations are ready before launch.

China’s manned moon landing is being developed and built as planned.

April 24 is the ninth "China Aerospace Day" with the theme of "Looking at the vast expanse of the sky and working together with the stars".

Lin Xiqiang, deputy director of the China Manned Space Engineering Office, said that at present, major flight products such as the Long March 10 carrier rocket, the Dreamboat manned spacecraft, the lunar lander, and the moon landing suit have all completed the program development work, and the production of prototype products and various tests are being carried out in an all-round way. The construction of Wenchang manned lunar exploration launch site has been fully implemented.

In 2024, China Aerospace is expected to launch about 100 missions, and the fourth phase of the lunar exploration project, Chang ‘e-6 mission, Shenzhou-18 manned mission and Tianzhou-8 cargo spacecraft replenishment mission will be advanced as scheduled. Not only that, with the "commercial aerospace" being written into the government work report for the first time, new quality productivity in the aerospace field is also gestating.

In January this year, Kuaizhou Rocket created the fastest networking record of domestic commercial satellite constellations. This year, the company will also complete eight space launch missions.

Accord to that national space administration, at present, there are nine types of commercial launch vehicle that can provide launching services, and a number of remote sen constellations of 100 orders of magnitude initiated by commercial enterprises are under steady construction. With the active arrangement of local governments and enterprises, it is estimated that the scale of China’s commercial space market is expected to exceed 2.3 trillion yuan this year.

China’s economy will make greater contributions to the world economy.

After the National Bureau of Statistics released the economic data for the first quarter of this year, many international financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank raised their economic growth forecasts for China this year. In response, Wang Wenbin, a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said at a regular press conference held on April 24th that looking ahead, the trend of China’s economic recovery for the better and the longer term will not change, and it will make greater contributions to the world economy.

Wang Wenbin, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that in the first quarter of this year, China’s economy got off to a good start, the "troika" indicators of consumption, investment and export were running well, and the four macro indicators of growth, employment, inflation and balance of payments remained generally stable, releasing a "strong sense of spring" of sustained recovery. In the first quarter, China’s GDP increased by 5.3% year-on-year, of which domestic demand contributed 85.5% to economic growth, which is the main force to promote economic growth. The UNCTAD report predicts that China’s economy will achieve the growth target of around 5% this year. The 2024 global foreign direct investment confidence index released by American management consulting service company Kearney shows that China’s ranking jumped from the seventh place last year to the third place. According to a Bloomberg report, China will rank first in the world in the proportion of new economic activities in the next five years. Looking into the future, the trend of China’s economic recovery to be good and long-term good will not change. It is believed that with the continuous promotion of high-quality development and high-level opening up, China’s economy will accelerate the pace of transformation and upgrading on the basis of steady progress and make greater contributions to the world economy.

China set up a national overseas intellectual property dispute response guidance center to save 6.89 billion yuan for enterprises.

The State Council Press Office held a press conference on April 24th. China National Intellectual Property Administration introduced that the National Guidance Center for Dealing with Overseas Intellectual Property Disputes has been set up with the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, and 43 local sub-centers have been set up in 27 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), and work guidance stations have been set up in countries and regions with intensive trade exchanges to provide professional and efficient overseas rights protection guidance services for enterprises. In 2023, 1,706 enterprises were instructed, which saved 6.89 billion yuan in economic losses for enterprises and helped enterprises reduce the cost of rights protection by 390 million yuan.

110 million yuan of central natural disaster relief funds support flood control and disaster relief in Jiangxi, Guangdong and Guangxi.

Recently, the Ministry of Finance and the Emergency Management Department urgently pre-allocated 110 million yuan of central natural disaster relief funds to support flood control and disaster relief work in Jiangxi, Guangdong and Guangxi provinces, focusing on emergency treatment such as search and rescue, relocation and resettlement of affected people, danger elimination, investigation and emergency rectification of hidden dangers of secondary disasters, and repair of damaged houses.

The cultural tourism market continues to heat up, and "fancy" in various places stimulates consumption enthusiasm.

There is still a week before the May Day holiday. These days, air ticket booking has reached a peak, outbound travel has also ushered in a substantial increase, and the cultural tourism market has continued to heat up.

In the big data system of this online booking platform, the reporter found that since mid-April, the air ticket booking curve has obviously increased, and the air ticket booking volume of popular cities has increased day by day, with a one-day increase of 40%. Fifteen days before the holiday, the number of air ticket bookings has exceeded the same period in 2023. The reporter found on a number of online booking platforms that during this year’s "May 1" holiday, medium and long-distance travel was hot, with orders accounting for 56%. The rapid growth of long-distance travel has driven the volume and price of the holiday civil aviation passenger transport market to rise.

Shang Kejia, deputy director of the Transportation Department of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, said: "The main reason for the popularity of the civil aviation passenger transport market is the continuous release of consumer demand, and transportation production has returned to natural growth, and it has entered the stage of improving quality and increasing efficiency."

The online booking platform data also shows that at present, the number of inbound and outbound airline tickets booked during the May 1 holiday exceeds 690,000, an increase of about 17% over a week ago. Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and Singapore rank among the top five popular outbound destinations, and the number of outbound travel bookings has nearly tripled year-on-year.

"May Day" is approaching, and Air China will open new Beijing one after another from April 28th — Riyadh, Beijing — Dhaka route, return to Beijing — Madrid — Sao Paulo, Beijing — Madrid — Havana route. By then, the domestic airline route network will cover six continents again.

At the same time, the launching ceremony of the national cultural and tourism consumption promotion activities in 2024 and the home event of the National May Day Cultural and Tourism Consumption Week were also held in Zhuhai on April 23rd. With the theme of "Cultural tourism benefiting the people and sharing a better life", all localities will launch special cultural tourism activities, new consumption scenarios and measures to benefit the people around traditional festivals, legal holidays and summer holidays to stimulate the enthusiasm of cultural tourism consumption.

With the coming of the May 1 holiday, from May 1, Hainan launched the "air ticket is the ticket" travel coupon distribution activity, and tourists outside Hainan Island can exchange tickets for 21 scenic spots in Hainan Island with their tickets for the corresponding time period. During the holidays, Hainan Province will hold more than 150 cultural and artistic, sports events and tourism festivals to welcome tourists from all over the world.

In 2023, the level of residents’ health literacy will increase to 29.70%.

On April 24th, the National Health and Wellness Commission released the health literacy monitoring of China residents in 2023. In 2023, the health literacy level of Chinese residents reached 29.70%, 1.92 percentage points higher than that in 2022, and continued to show a steady improvement trend. 29.70% means that among every 100 people aged 15-69, nearly 30 people have basic health literacy, know basic health knowledge and concepts, master healthy lifestyle and behavior content, and have basic health skills.

The monitoring results show that in 2023, the health literacy level of urban residents in China was 33.25%, and that of rural residents was 26.23%, increasing by 1.31 and 2.45 percentage points respectively compared with 2022. The level of basic knowledge and concept literacy of urban and rural residents is 42.00%, the level of healthy lifestyle and behavior literacy is 32.21%, and the level of basic skills literacy is 26.76%, which is 0.74, 1.58 and 0.76 percentage points higher than that in 2022 respectively. The literacy level of six kinds of health problems from high to low is: safety and first aid literacy 59.33%, scientific health concept literacy 54.71%, health information literacy 41.05%, chronic disease prevention literacy 30.43%, basic medical literacy 28.84% and infectious disease prevention literacy 28.02%.

Carbon dioxide emissions per unit GDP are expected to drop by 3.9% this year.

On April 23rd, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment released the main target of ecological environment protection in 2024. This year, the average concentration of PM2.5, the ratio of days with excellent air quality, the ratio of surface water quality sections I to III and other eco-environmental quality indicators in cities at prefecture level and above will be better than the schedule requirements of the Tenth Five-Year Plan, the carbon dioxide emissions per unit GDP will be reduced by about 3.9%, and the total emissions of nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, chemical oxygen demand and ammonia nitrogen will continue to decrease.

Dry goods: What do the numbers and letters on the truck body stand for?

How can I get the information of a truck I don’t know quickly? Domestic off-brand trucks usually stick various LOGOs on the body, including LOGO, model, horsepower, etc. It is a quick and effective way to obtain basic information from various logos pasted on the body. You can know what brand this is through logo, and you can know the name of the model through the model logo. Then you can use search engine to learn more about this model.

Logo, on the other hand, is also a way for manufacturers to publicize the characteristics of their vehicles. For example, a "4.9s" is marked on the rear of a hybrid vehicle to tell everyone that the acceleration time of this vehicle from 0 to 100 km/h is only 4.9 seconds. Different from passenger cars, trucks have more and more complicated signs, but there are also rules to follow.

Common way 1: Tonnage+horsepower

The seven mainstream truck brands in Europe are led by Mercedes-Benz trucks, and they like to use the sign "Tonnage+Horsepower" to stick on the door. The nameplate consists of four digits in total, the first two digits represent the total mass of the vehicle design (unit: ton), and the last two digits multiplied by 10 are equal to the maximum output horsepower of the engine. Take 2644, the main model sold in China, as an example, with a total design mass of 26 tons and a maximum output power of 440 HP. 2648, 3360, 1841, etc. are all the same.

Baotou Beiben Heavy Truck Co., Ltd. signed a cooperation agreement with Mercedes-Benz truck in the 1980s, and introduced a series of products. In terms of product naming, the Beiben model also continued the way of Mercedes-Benz truck, so don’t be surprised to see the same standard method as Mercedes-Benz on the Beiben truck.

Dry goods: What do the numbers and letters on the truck body stand for?

Common body logo of Beiben truck

At present, Foton Motor, which cooperates with Daimler Group, has an EST super truck based on construction. Recently, it has been listed in China and started to use the same signboard form as Mercedes-Benz trucks. For example, the original 430-horsepower model only marked "430" on the door, and now it has been replaced with "2543".

MAN truck company, which is also a German brand, also adopts the standard method of "tonnage+horsepower", which is more intuitive than Mercedes-Benz’s 4-digit standard method. MAN uses the 5-digit standard method, in which the first 2 digits are the total design mass of the vehicle, and the last 3 digits are the maximum output horsepower of the engine, and the model name will be added at the front, usually three English letters. For example, MAN recently promoted 28.480 in China, TGX is MAN’s flagship model, 28 indicates that the total vehicle mass is designed for 28 tons, and 480 indicates the maximum output power of the engine.

It is not unreasonable for Italy to be dubbed Italy’s Italian-made medium-sized car. Although the standard method is tonnage+horsepower, people who don’t know it will be puzzled to interpret it according to the convention of Mercedes-Benz, because Iveco’s standard method is very confusing. For example, a Eurocargo is marked with "150E28" next to it, and many people will subconsciously think that this car is 150 horsepower with a total design weight of 28 tons. On the contrary, "150" means that the total design mass is 15 tons and the maximum output power of the engine is 280 horsepower. The latest Eurocargo has changed a new standard method, which is also composed of five digits. The first two digits indicate tonnage, and the last three digits indicate horsepower. "75-190" means 7.5 tons and 190 horsepower. Iveco’s flagship heavy truck is relatively simple and rude, and it is directly labeled as "model+horsepower", which belongs to another classification.

Dry goods: What do the numbers and letters on the truck body stand for?

A few simple numbers can convey the information of vehicle tonnage, horsepower and even vehicle type. The marking method of "tonnage+horsepower" is very intuitive and effective. Experienced people can roughly guess the vehicle type and service conditions from this marking information, such as Mercedes-Benz 2648, which must be a three-axle vehicle with a total weight of 26 tons. This tonnage level with a 480 horsepower engine is more suitable for high-speed logistics conditions. If Mercedes-Benz 3360 is used, if it is a 33-ton tractor with 600 horsepower, then it is no accident that it must be designed for heavy-duty conditions, so it needs such a large tonnage and horsepower. MAN and Iveco are the same, and I have to admire the person who came up with this method at that time.

Common way 2: model+horsepower

At present, it is the most widely used method to use the model (car series)+horsepower standard method. European manufacturers think that this method is used in all series of models, and the logo consists of one letter plus three digits. The name of Scania car series is relatively simple, which is P/G/R/S series from bottom to top. The car logo is one letter, and the last three digits indicate the maximum horsepower of the engine. Take chestnuts as an example. G480 means that this car uses a series of cabs with a maximum power of 480 HP. The same is true for other series.

Dry goods: What do the numbers and letters on the truck body stand for?

Like Scania, there are French trucks. Now Renault’s latest trucks are divided into models with a single letter, including T-series, C-series, K-series and other models, corresponding to different levels and working conditions. The logo is also composed of car name+horsepower. The "T" of the 2015 international truck Renault T520 represents the model, and "520" means that the car is 520 horsepower.

Dry goods: What do the numbers and letters on the truck body stand for?

Renault truck

Domestic cars basically use this standard method. The eldest son of the Republic marked "J6P-460" on the door to indicate that the model name is, the engine output is 460 horsepower; There are also domestic mainstream models such as U480,540, Shaanxi Automobile X3000 480 and Hongyan Jieshi C100 480, all of which are of this kind.

Dry goods: What do the numbers and letters on the truck body stand for?

Body logo of Jiefang truck

This widely used identification method has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it is intuitive to know the name of the vehicle and the power of the engine, but the disadvantage is that it is impossible to infer the working condition of the vehicle from the name. Therefore, domestic manufacturers will now attach labels such as "Pilot Edition", "Sailing Edition", "Composite Edition", "Lightweight Edition" and "Smooth Edition" to the body surface to further refine the vehicle classification. If you think that this can satisfy the "show off" psychology of manufacturers, it is naive, and then read on.

Common way 3: technical identification cannot be less.

We can often see various labels such as "VVTI", "TFSI" and "1.5T" on passenger cars. These are the places where manufacturers are not or not good enough to flaunt their cars with other brands, which can be understood as a show off. For example, Toyota’s VVTI variable valve technology is a Toyota patent, and other manufacturers can’t flaunt themselves like this, so Toyota can use this as a selling point. The same is true for truck manufacturers, on the one hand, to show more information, on the other hand, to show off. Among them, the engine logo is the most common, and both domestic and foreign car companies play this set.

Starting from Mercedes-Benz, "BlueTec" can be found on passenger cars and trucks. It is the name of a diesel engine exhaust aftertreatment system originally created by Mercedes-Benz. This aftertreatment technology can effectively reduce particulates and effectively reduce the emission of nitrogen oxides. It is one of the cleanest diesel engine technologies in the world. Is Mercedes-Benz a naked show?

Dry goods: What do the numbers and letters on the truck body stand for?

Technical signs on Mercedes-Benz trucks

Another model of Mercedes-Benz truck with engine will put a "V8" logo on the front of the car to tell the onlookers that this is a car with V8 engine. European manufacturers MAN and Scania also have this practice, and will add the V8 logo as an honor to the car. But now, with the emission escalation, only Scania has retained the V8 engine with Euro 6 emission, and the gold content of the V8 logo is even more sufficient in Ouka.

Dry goods: What do the numbers and letters on the truck body stand for?

Technical signs on Scania trucks

Even if there is no V8 engine, as long as the engine technology is advanced enough, it can be pasted on the car as a show-off capital. MAN in Germany has an engine with Euro-6 emission. The engine model starts with "D38". This D38 engine has excellent performance, and all indicators can kill competitors, both in fuel economy and power. Therefore, MAN will put a "D38" logo on the model equipped with D38 engine to let you know that this is a car equipped with D38 engine.

Similarly, domestic manufacturers have done a lot, and there are two brands of DCI engines with Renault technology to choose from. In order to highlight DCI engines, all cars equipped with DCI engines will add a "DCI" logo before the horsepower logo, while machines equipped with Dongfeng Cummins do not have this treatment. The same is true for United trucks. Models equipped with flagship engine series will stick a "6K inside" on the door to indicate that the "heart" of this car is 6K.

It sounds incredible to make a car system specially for an engine, but in fact there are quite a few. Up to now, it is the king of horsepower of European trucks. A 16-liter inline 6-cylinder engine has made a maximum output of 750 horsepower, which is enough to be proud of. For this reason, a truck is specially added on the basis of "".The front face of the vehicle is different from other FH colors, and the surface of the car body also has a special logo.

750 horsepower model

Ou Man, a domestic manufacturer, is playing this game the most. A Ou Man GTL model with an ISG engine is called "Edition", and a big "ISG" logo is attached to the side of the car body; Ou Man GTL with Mercedes-Benz OM457 engine is called "Mercedes-Benz Edition", and there is a corresponding logo on the body. Because there are many engines available for Foton models, in order to better distinguish the engine brands, there is a letter behind the horsepower logo to represent the engine brands. For example, "490 G" means the maximum output power of the engine is 490 HP, the engine is Cummins ISG, the letter "W" means, and "B" means Mercedes-Benz power.

Standard torque

Finally, I want to talk about a very distinctive logo type. Recently, Dongfeng Tianlong flagship has put on a new logo method, changing the horsepower standard method used in the past and replacing it with 4 digits plus engine displacement. These four figures can make many people blindsided and completely unable to understand what they mean.

Dry goods: What do the numbers and letters on the truck body stand for?

The latest body logo adopted by Tianlong flagship

"2330" and "13L", which is easy to understand, represent the engine displacement of 13L, because there are not many domestic models that can assemble 13L engines now, and most of the so-called 13L engines have a displacement of more than 12L, and only Dongfeng Cummins ISZ 13 has a real domestic displacement of 13L, so it is so proud to stick "13L" on the car body. The meaning of "2330" doesn’t matter, it represents the maximum torque output value of the engine, and other manufacturers mark the engine power. It is also the first time for Dongfeng to mark the torque, which is a precedent. The purpose of doing this is to show that the engine torque is large, the vehicle power is strong, and the starting point is very good. It is not known how the actual publicity effect is.

Privately, this practice is more like manufacturers "entertaining themselves." There are two reasons. The first is that the practice of marking torque seems intuitive. In fact, it is difficult for the bottom users to quantify this value, and they have no idea about it. They are used to the marking method of horsepower and suddenly have a torque, and they can’t understand how much horsepower this is. It’s like everyone says that he is xx meters tall, and suddenly someone says that he is xx feet tall, which makes it impossible to judge the height of his birth immediately according to his own experience. The second is that the labeling form is too counterintuitive, and almost no one can guess what these four numbers mean. The combination of tonnage and horsepower of Mercedes-Benz is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and will be interpreted in the form of Mercedes-Benz.

To sum up all the models, there must be a key message-horsepower value no matter how the logo rules of different brands and models change. In the final analysis, a truck is a means of transportation, and the most basic and key indicator is the strength of power. Only when the power is strong enough can it carry goods. Basically, all truck engines are diesel engines and turbocharged, which are standard configurations, so there is no need to mark these as selling points like passenger cars. An engine will have several different output power adjustments, and with different engine types, the optional horsepower range will be particularly rich. At this time, marking the horsepower value on the body can reflect the power strength of the vehicle relatively intuitively.

Chinese Inventory: Top Ten Popular Words Published in China Media in 2021

  As an important part of the annual "Chinese Inventory" activity, "Top Ten Popular Words in China Media in 2021" was released by the National Language Resources Monitoring and Research Center on December 13th, 2021. The top ten buzzwords released this time are: centenary of the founding of the Party, 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, China Aerospace, Double Carbon, Vaccination, Double Reduction, Beijing Stock Exchange, Clear Action, Vaccine Assistance and Convention on Biological Diversity.

  In 2021, the Communist Party of China (CPC) was founded one hundred years ago, with a magnificent journey and a long-lasting heart. China’s space drama continues, and the goal of "double carbon" leads to high-quality development. The establishment of the North Exchange is conducive to the "common prosperity" of SMEs. The "double reduction" policy helps to build a good education ecology. "Clear" action creates a civilized and healthy network environment for the people. Under the background of global anti-epidemic, China has promoted vaccination in an orderly manner, and at the same time provided vaccine assistance to developing countries, fulfilling the promise of China COVID-19 vaccine as a global public product; The successful hosting of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, which was postponed for one year, has made great contributions to the development of the Olympic Movement. The 15th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity proposed that we should uphold the concept of ecological civilization and jointly build a community of life on earth.

  “2021年度中国媒体十大流行语”解读

  一、建党百年

  2021年,中国共产党迎来建党100周年。2021年7月1日,庆祝中国共产党成立100周年大会在北京天安门广场隆重举行,各界代表7万余人以盛大仪式欢庆中国共产党百年华诞,最高领袖总书记发表重要讲话。2021年11月8日至11日,党的十九届六中全会总结建党一百年来党带领人民进行伟大奋斗所取得的伟大成就和宝贵历史经验,审议通过了《中共中央关于党的百年奋斗重大成就和历史经验的决议》。中国共产党和中国人民以英勇顽强的奋斗向世界庄严宣告,中华民族迎来了从站起来、富起来到强起来的伟大飞跃,中华民族伟大复兴进入了不可逆转的历史进程。

  Second, the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games

  Refers to the 32nd Summer Olympic Games held in Tokyo, Japan from July 23rd to August 8th, 2021. Affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, this Olympic Games was postponed for one year, which is also the first time in history that the Olympic Games was held in an empty venue. There are 204 countries or regions participating in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, with a total of 11,669 athletes. The Olympic Games fully demonstrated the efforts of athletes all over the world to overcome difficulties and practice "faster, higher, stronger and more United".

  Third, China Aerospace

  In 2021, China’s space industry won frequent reports. On January 29th, China’s space launch ushered in a good start in 2021 with the launch of Remote Sensing No.31 Group 02 satellite and its scheduled orbit. On April 29th, the "Tianhe" core module of the space station entered the scheduled orbit, and the on-orbit assembly and construction of the China Space Station started in full swing. On May 15th, China’s first Mars exploration mission "Tianwen" No.1 successfully landed on Mars. On June 17th, the Shenzhou-12 manned spacecraft was successfully launched, and three China astronauts lived in the Tianhe core cabin for three months, and for the first time, they carried out a long-term extravehicular activity. On October 14th, China’s first scientific and technological experimental satellite for solar exploration, xi he, was successfully launched. On October 16th, Shenzhou XIII went out, and three crew astronauts started a six-month mission … … From manned space flight to lunar exploration project, from Beidou network to Mars exploration, China’s space industry has repeatedly made breakthroughs and developed rapidly.

  Fourth, double carbon

  The abbreviation of "peak carbon dioxide emissions" and "Carbon Neutralization". In March, 2021, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized at the ninth meeting of the Central Committee of Finance and Economics that the realization of peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality is a wide-ranging and profound systematic economic and social change. It is necessary to bring peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality into the overall layout of ecological civilization construction, show the momentum of grasping iron and trace it, and achieve the goal of carbon neutrality in peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and by 2060 as scheduled. On October 24th, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the Opinions on Completely, Accurately and Comprehensively Implementing the New Development Concept and Doing a Good Job of Carbon Neutralization in peak carbon dioxide emissions, and the peak carbon dioxide emissions Action Plan by 2030, which deployed China’s "Double Carbon" goal. The goal of "double carbon" is a solemn commitment made by China to the world, which shows China’s firm determination to actively respond to climate change, take a green and low-carbon development path and promote the common development of all mankind.

  V. Vaccination

  Vaccination in COVID-19 is an effective means to control the spread of the epidemic. On December 15, 2020, China officially launched the vaccination of Covid-19, a key population; Beginning in late March 2021, China gradually implemented free vaccination for the whole population; In July 2021, the vaccination work of "one old and one small" Covid-19 was steadily advanced; In September, 2021, the vaccination of Covid-19 vaccine "booster shot" was carried out in many places. At present, China ranks first in the world in the total dose and coverage, and the number of people who have completed the whole vaccination of COVID-19 vaccine exceeds 1.1 billion, and the population coverage rate ranks among the top in the world. This large-scale vaccination work cannot be separated from the joint efforts of the people of the whole country.

  Sixth, double reduction

  It refers to effectively reducing students’ excessive homework burden and off-campus training burden in compulsory education stage. On July 24th, 2021, the General Offices of the General Office of the Central Committee of the CPC and the State Council issued the Opinions on Further Reducing the Students’ Homework Burden and Off-campus Training Burden in Compulsory Education, demanding that the education level of schools be effectively improved, and off-campus training (including online training and offline training) be continuously standardized, so as to effectively reduce the students’ excessive homework burden and off-campus training burden in Compulsory Education. The policy of "double reduction" is an important measure to strengthen the main position of school education, deepen the governance of off-campus training institutions, build a good education ecology, and promote the all-round development and healthy growth of students.

  Seven, the North Exchange

  Short for "Beijing Stock Exchange". It is the first company-based stock exchange established in China with the approval of the State Council. It was incorporated on September 3, 2021 and officially opened for trading on November 15. On September 2, 2021, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader announced in his speech at the 2021 China International Fair for Trade in Services Global Service Trade Summit that he would continue to support the innovative development of small and medium-sized enterprises, deepen the reform of the New Third Board, establish the Beijing Stock Exchange, and build the main position of service-oriented small and medium-sized enterprises. The transaction of the North Stock Exchange is in full swing, and the first batch of eight theme funds were sought after by investors on the first day of issuance. The establishment of the North Exchange is a milestone in the capital market, which means that the New Third Board, which is committed to serving small and medium-sized enterprises, stands at a new starting point for reform, and China’s capital market reform and development has taken another key step.

  Eight, "clear" action

  In February 2021, the National Network Information Office launched the special action of "Clear Spring Festival Network Environment". In May 2021, the video of "Pouring Milk for Stars" was exposed, which aroused public concern. On May 8, 2021, the National Network Information Office launched the "Clear Series" special campaign in 2021. The key tasks include "rectifying online historical nihilism", "rectifying algorithm abuse", "cracking down on online naval forces, traffic fraud, and black public relations", "rectifying the network environment of minors", "rectifying the outstanding news information in the PUSH window", "standardizing the operation of website accounts" and "rectifying online entertainment and hot spot ranking chaos. The purpose of this action is to crack down on network violations and conduct a "clean-up" throughout the network to jointly create a civilized and healthy network environment.

  IX. Vaccine Assistance

  In 2021, China earnestly implemented the commitment made by the Chairman of the Supreme Leader to make China COVID-19 vaccine a global public product. In February this year, China officially joined the WHO "COVID-19 Vaccine Implementation Plan" and promised to provide 10 million doses of vaccines, mainly for urgent needs of developing countries. On February 1, 2021, China’s first batch of foreign aid vaccines arrived in Pakistan, and since then it has continued to provide vaccine assistance and exports to many countries around the world. So far, China has provided more than 1.5 billion doses of vaccines to 106 countries and 4 international organizations. In the current global shortage of vaccine supply, China’s vaccine assistance has provided developing countries with a "sharp weapon" to fight the epidemic and brought a spring breeze to the global fight against the epidemic.

  X Convention on Biological Diversity

  On October 12, 2021, the 15th Summit of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity was held in Kunming in an online and offline way. Standing at the height of promoting the sustainable development of mankind and building a community of human destiny, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader clearly put forward a major proposition to start a new journey of high-quality development of mankind, and solemnly announced that China will continue to promote the pragmatic measures of ecological civilization construction. In the face of a series of difficulties such as COVID-19 epidemic, environmental pollution, climate change, biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation, it is of great significance for this conference to set goals and clear paths for global biodiversity protection in the future.

Can any mice at home be infected with plague? Not in the epidemic area is generally not risky.

  On the evening of November 12, the Health and Health Committee of Xilin Gol League in Inner Mongolia and the Health and Health Committee of Chaoyang District in Beijing jointly announced that on November 12, two people in Sunite Zuoqi of Xilin Gol League in Inner Mongolia were diagnosed as confirmed cases of pneumonic plague through expert consultation. At present, the patient has been properly treated in relevant medical institutions in Chaoyang District, Beijing, and relevant prevention and control measures have been implemented. According to Health News, an industry newspaper in charge of National Health Commission, National Health Commission Emergency Office has arranged state-level experts to go to Inner Mongolia to guide the local tracing work and find out the source of infection and the route of transmission.

  Once the news was released, it caused widespread concern. Many citizens are worried: if there are mice at home, will they be infected with plague? The Guangdong Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention answered this question on the official WeChat WeChat official account: If you are not in an epidemic area, there is generally little risk of infection, so citizens need not worry too much.

  There are no follow-up cases at present.

  "In addition to these two patients, there are no follow-up cases." Feng Zijian, deputy director of China CDC, told the media.

  Plague is a severe infectious disease, which is a special zoonotic disease in which rodents and fleas transmit Yersinia pestis to humans and animals. In China, plague is a Class A infectious disease stipulated in the Law on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases (there are only two Class A infectious diseases in China, and the other is cholera).

  The incubation period of plague is generally 1 to 6 days, and individual cases can reach 8 to 9 days. After being infected with Yersinia pestis, it can be clinically manifested as bubonic plague, pneumonic plague and septicemia plague. Bubonic plague is the most common, which usually manifests as fever and local lymph node enlargement, and the cure rate is high; Pneumonic plague is often characterized by high fever, cough, chest tightness, dyspnea and hemoptysis. Due to the urgent onset, the disease progresses rapidly, and if it is not treated in time, the mortality rate is high. The symptoms of septicemia plague are also serious and the prognosis is poor.

  The host animals carrying Yersinia pestis are mainly rodents such as rats and marmots. In the north of China, Citellus and Marmota are the main species, while Rattus flavipectus and Rattus norvegicus are the main species in the south. Beijing is not a natural focus, and Yersinia pestis does not exist in the natural environment and rodents.

  Plague cases are very rare

  In history, there have been three worldwide pandemics of plague, which was once called the "Black Death", causing serious losses to human life and health. Before the founding of New China, the plague epidemic in China was also very serious. After the founding of New China, the Chinese government attached great importance to the prevention and control of plague, and the number of cases dropped significantly. At present, plague is very rare in China, but it has not disappeared. There are cases of plague in Gansu, Xinjiang, Tibet and Inner Mongolia.

  In Guangdong, from 1866 to 1952, plague was prevalent for 87 years, affecting 69 counties in the whole province (including Hainan Island and Beihai and Qinzhou, which are now Guangxi), with more than 486,000 deaths. Since 1953, no plague cases have been reported in Guangdong province, and great achievements have been made in plague prevention and control, and it has been resting for more than 66 years by 2019. However, with the increasing frequency of tourism and business exchanges, there is still the risk of imported cases.

  The general risk of infection is not great.

  However, the public need not panic. Plague is an ancient bacterial infectious disease and can be treated with a variety of effective antibiotics in clinic. If patients can see a doctor early and get standardized and effective treatment, the cure rate is very high. Suspicious contacts can also avoid getting sick by taking preventive medicine.

  Many citizens are worried that if there are rats in my house, will they be infected with the plague? In fact, mice usually need rat fleas as a medium to infect humans, and direct contact with infected mice also has the opportunity to be infected. If you are not in an epidemic area, the risk of infection is generally small, so don’t worry too much. However, if there are more mice in the house, it will cause some other diseases such as epidemic hemorrhagic fever. It is suggested to do indoor hygiene and eliminate mice.

  In addition, if citizens suddenly develop fever, chills, swollen lymph nodes or dyspnea, cough and/or bloody sputum, they should seek medical treatment immediately (people who have traveled in plague-endemic areas should inform medical staff of their travel history). Self-medication, including the use of antibiotics, should be avoided unless diagnosed by medical personnel.

  interlinkage

  1. What are the main routes of transmission?

  The main transmission routes of plague include vector transmission, contact transmission and droplet transmission. In natural foci, vector transmission is the most important mode of transmission, and fleas are the main media for spreading plague. Fleas parasitic on infected animals can cause human infection after being infected with plague bacteria and then biting people. Contact transmission refers to the infection caused by bacteria entering the body through skin surface wounds or mucous membranes when people come into contact with infected animals during slaughter, skinning and meat eating, or when they come into contact with excreta and secretions of plague patients. In addition, the respiratory secretions of patients with pneumonic plague contain a large number of Yersinia pestis, and the germs released by patients during breathing and coughing can form droplets and suspend in the air for a short time, which can also cause infection when others inhale.

  2. How to do personal protection?

  Good personal hygiene habits are the most effective measures to prevent various infectious diseases, including plague. At present, Beijing residents don’t need to take special personal protective measures, but they should maintain good personal hygiene habits, such as washing their hands frequently, trying to avoid going to crowded places, and wearing masks in time when going to medical institutions or individuals with fever, cough and other related symptoms.

  If you suspect that you have had contact with the case, you can go to self-observation, or take the initiative to report to the local disease control department and get professional guidance. Once you have symptoms such as fever and cough, you should seek medical advice in time.

  When traveling, minimize contact with wild animals, do not tease marmots with unknown health, prevent flea bites, reduce body exposure by using repellent, avoid being bitten by fleas, and do not hunt and eat wild animals without permission.

At 0: 00 on May 6, the detailed explanation of the national expressway recovery toll policy came! Scan code to read mobile version

  Tianjin North Network News:With the consent of the State Council, the toll roads approved by law in China will resume charging from 0: 00 on May 6, 2020. According to the unified deployment of the Ministry of Transport, in the previous stage, the transportation department of our city carried out a series of work, such as system upgrading, charging mode adjustment, real vehicle testing and customer service system optimization, which provided the majority of ETC users with a high-quality highway travel experience of "one trip, one bill, one deduction and one notification". What changes will happen to the driving experience of the majority of car owners after the expressway resumes charging? What should I pay attention to when passing through the expressway? A few days ago, the relevant responsible comrades of the Tianjin Municipal Transportation Commission gave detailed answers to a series of questions of concern to the masses.

  First, system optimization

  1. After the system upgrade, what is the most intuitive change as a car owner?

  After the system upgrade is completed and the expressway charges are resumed, the most intuitive changes mainly include the following three points:

  First, when the owner leaves the exit lane, it shows the full cost of the current passage;

  Second, ETC users can check the complete records and monthly statements of the current traffic through platforms such as "Tianjin Expressway ETC" WeChat WeChat official account, WeChat "Tianjin Easy" applet and Lesutong APP;

  Third, ETC users will receive the current standard deduction information (SMS, WeChat push, APP push, etc.), and there will be no more phenomena such as unclear information, multiple deductions, and delayed deductions.

  2. Why do you want to upgrade the system? What is Fei Xian lighting?

  On January 1st, 2020, the national expressway cancelled the provincial toll stations and merged into "one network" operation. During the running-in period of the system, there were a series of problems such as congestion of toll stations, inaccurate billing, scattered and delayed deduction, non-display of export fees, and slow response to customer service complaints. In order to solve these problems, in accordance with the deployment requirements of the Ministry of Transport, Tianjin has carried out the upgrading and reconstruction project of the networked toll collection system with the main line of "lighting up the toll".

  When the vehicle leaves the exit lane, it accurately shows the full cost of the current passage.

  3. What should I pay attention to when the toll is resumed on May 6th?

  All expressway toll stations in our city are equipped with ETC lanes and artificial mixed lanes. In order to ensure the rapid passage of vehicles and avoid congestion, drivers are requested to control the speed and distance of vehicles and pay attention to the following points:

  First, ETC vehicles should enter and leave the expressway from ETC lane with a speed limit of 20 km/h. If the vehicle speed is too fast, the transaction will be unsuccessful, which will lead to congestion.

  Second, when there is a vehicle parked in front of the ETC lane, please keep a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle in front to prevent the occurrence of wrong transactions;

  Third, vehicles without ETC equipment should pass through mixed lanes and use CPC cartoon expressway;

  Fourth, all trucks must carry out non-stop weighing inspection before entering the expressway. After passing the inspection, trucks with ETC can choose ETC lane to enter the expressway, and trucks without ETC can only receive CPC cartoon lines through mixed lanes.

  Second, the deduction reminder

  4. After the recovery of charges, has the problem of receiving multiple mobile phone charge-deducted SMS messages in one pass been solved?

  In order to avoid the phenomenon of repeated deduction and unclear deduction information, since February this year, the transportation department of our city has coordinated and urged all cooperative banks to upgrade the deduction SMS system and standardize the information template. At present, the optimization and adjustment of all deduction notification systems have been completed.

  After the toll collection is resumed, users will receive a unified and standardized short message after finishing the expressway trip, which contains information such as license plate, transit time, entering and leaving expressway stations, toll amount and so on.

  5. After the trip, how long will it take to receive the ETC deduction message?

  After the end of the trip, ETC deduction SMS will generally be received within 24 hours.

  6. Why is there a delay in charging SMS?

  ETC charging system is different from real-time transactions such as bank card POS machine and Alipay scanning payment. After the user leaves the expressway, the system will record the user’s ETC transaction in real time, and then send a debit request to the bank, which will make a batch debit and send a transaction SMS to inform the user. Therefore, ETC users will not receive short messages of highway traffic transactions in real time, but there will be a certain time delay.

  7. After the trip, where can ETC users query information such as traffic records?

  After the fees are resumed, ETC users in our city can clearly and accurately inquire about the high-speed traffic records, monthly statements and account information through the official service platforms such as Letutong APP (Tianjin) platform, WeChat "Tianjin Easy" applet and "Tianjin Expressway ETC" WeChat WeChat official account.

  Third, the billing adjustment

  8. At the beginning of the cancellation of the grid connection of provincial boundary stations, there were some phenomena such as repeated and scattered ETC charges and inconsistent charges for driving the same road section all over the country. Can these problems be solved after the charges are resumed?

  The optimization and upgrading of the networking system and the real vehicle testing work carried out this time are aimed at improving the functions of the system and solving a series of problems during the running-in period. In order to solve the problem of inaccurate charging, our city adjusted the charging mode, which improved the recognition rate of ETC portal frame. Through ETC portal frame charging supplemented with license plate recognition technology, the complete path of the vehicle was fitted to form a total transaction record or transaction voucher, which was transmitted to ETC issuer for one-time deduction, realizing "one trip, one bill, one deduction and one notification".

  9. How do 9.ETC and LinkedIn charge? Will it be cheaper to get a cartoon line than to use ETC

  ETC vehicles and manually paid vehicles are uniformly charged according to the actual driving path. Among them, the transaction amount of ETC vehicles shall be rounded to "points" according to the preferential charging rules of not less than 15% discount, and the transaction amount of manual vehicles shall be rounded to "yuan" according to the charging rules. To be sure, after the adjustment of the charging rules and the resumption of charging, the same kind of vehicles will pass the same route, so it is definitely cheaper to use ETC than to collect the CPC card for manual payment.

  10. There is feedback from bus owners. After canceling the high-speed provincial toll station, the same trip is more expensive. Why?

  After the adjustment of the charging mode, the charging is more accurate.

  Take the minibus from Beitang Station to Dongli Station of Beijing-Tianjin Expressway as an example. The distance between the two stations is 21 kilometers, and the receivable is 11.55 yuan. Before withdrawing from the station, the toll is rounded up according to 5 yuan multiple. After rounding up, the toll becomes 10 yuan, and ETC users pay a 95% discount on the basis of 10 yuan and pay it in 9.5 yuan; After the station was withdrawn, the labor charge was rounded to "yuan", and it became 12 yuan after rounding up to 11.55 yuan, while ETC users got a 95% discount on the basis of 11.55 yuan and got paid-in 10.97 yuan.

  In this way, there is a phenomenon that the toll before and after the withdrawal of the station "has both increased and decreased". In short, the toll rate has not increased, and the implementation of accurate billing is to reflect the fair principle of "those who use more roads pay more, and those who use less roads pay less".

  11. After the fees are resumed, if ETC users have any objection to the toll charging, how should they consult for feedback? How long will it take to be dealt with?

  The consultation and complaint channels for the disputed toll are as follows:

  ETC vehicles handled in Tianjin only pass through Tianjin Expressway. If there are toll disputes such as inconsistent deduction, repeated deduction and whether it should be free or not, please call our ETC customer service hotline 4007554007 to verify the information and solve them in time.

  In addition, both the inter-provincial traffic of ETC vehicles in Tianjin and the inter-provincial traffic of ETC vehicles handled by other provinces are inter-provincial disputes, and users can solve them in time by calling the national ETC service supervision hotline 95022.

  Fourth, access concessions

  12. What are the discounts for passing through the expressway in our city?

  First of all, regardless of passenger cars, trucks or special work vehicles, you will enjoy a preferential policy of not less than 15% when using ETC Expressway.

  In addition, the city has introduced a highway differential charging policy for trucks. For example, it gives a 65% discount to freight vehicles driving the entire Beijing-Tianjin Expressway, a 50% discount to free for certain international standard container transport vehicles entering and leaving Tianjin Port, and a 96% discount to class 2 and class 5 trucks passing through the city’s entire road network.

  13. Why do fresh agricultural products transport vehicles, trans-regional combine harvesters (including rice transplanters) transport vehicles and international standard container transport vehicles need to enjoy toll concessions by making an appointment?

  After canceling the provincial toll station, the expressway mainly relies on ETC gantry system to identify the actual driving trajectory of vehicles and carry out accurate toll collection. ETC gantry system can identify the vehicle identity and model information, but it can’t judge the cargo carried.

  In order to avoid the situation that the transportation vehicles that meet the preferential conditions will be deducted first and then refunded, vehicles transporting fresh agricultural products and combine harvesters need to submit preferential applications in advance before entering the expressway, and they can enjoy the preferential policy of exemption from the whole toll after passing the inspection at the export toll station.

  Reservation is made in the form of online reservation through "China ETC service applet".

  14. What are the advantages of using reservation?

  By making an appointment, customers can be provided with the following conveniences: First, the entrance inspection of toll stations is cancelled to avoid traffic congestion. Second, reduce road inspection and save vehicle transit time. Third, avoid the phenomenon of first deducting fees and then refunding fees. Fourth, with the increase in the number of scheduled traffic, the frequency of inspection of customers with higher credit ratings will be gradually reduced, further improving the efficiency of vehicle traffic. Therefore, it is suggested that the majority of fresh agricultural products, cross-regional combine harvesters (including rice transplanters) and international standard container transportation enterprises make good use of the reserved access mode.

  Considering that transportation enterprises and truck owners need to gradually adapt to the appointment passage, our city has set up a six-month appointment passage transition period. It is expected that from July 1, the new platform of "excellent service" of the Ministry of Communications will be fully activated for appointment and preferential management, and the ETC platform will be fully relied on.

  15. How can ETC users ensure that they enjoy toll concessions?

  In the latest charging rules for expressway operation, "ETC lane entry" is regarded as the only basis for discount, that is, ETC users can enjoy the full fare discount in any lane when leaving the station as long as they normally use ETC to enter the expressway (without receiving CPC card) and the user’s entrance information is recorded in ETC card.

  16. After the fees are resumed, can ETC vehicles avoid the deduction?

  After the charge is resumed, ETC vehicles can’t avoid the deduction when they pull out the cartoon line. The owner of ETC keeps the ETC card correctly inserted into the OBU all the time, which is beneficial for vehicles to pass through the ETC lane quickly.

  V. Self-inspection of ETC equipment

  17. What should ETC users pay attention to when charging is resumed?

  In order to ensure that after the toll is resumed, the users of ETC can normally enjoy the fast passage and preferential toll service, and the majority of ETC users need to carry out the "equipment self-inspection" as soon as possible, mainly making three confirmations:

  First, confirm that the electronic tag has been correctly installed in the pockmarked area of the front windshield of the vehicle (behind the rearview mirror);

  Second, confirm that the electronic tag is in a normal state, pull out and re-insert the ETC card, hear the "beep" sound and the tag screen normally displays the words "balance" or "charge card", then the equipment is in a normal state;

  Third, confirm that the ETC card account is normal, confirm that the balance in the card is sufficient, or the status of the bound bank card is normal.

  It is particularly important to note that the ETC tag is in a standby state under daily conditions, the screen is not bright, and the electronic tag is charged by solar energy. It is recommended to carry out a self-inspection before parking vehicles in underground garages for a long time.

  18. Do etc users need to disassemble the equipment during self-inspection? Can I still use it after I remove it and put it back on?

  Users can complete the self-check by plugging and unplugging the ETC card. ETC equipment cannot be disassembled by itself, and it is dedicated to special vehicles. Once it is disassembled or loosened, the equipment will become invalid, and it will be unusable if it is installed by itself or installed in other vehicles. It needs to be re-activated and installed by the installer at the distribution outlets.

  19. What if ETC users can’t self-check or detect a problem?

  In order to better help ETC users in our city to do a good job in equipment testing before expressway toll recovery, the ETC center business hall and development zone business hall in our city resumed full-service services on April 20, and provided users with various ETC on-site services such as new ETC office, equipment replacement, recharge and transfer.

  Central business hall: 16 kilometers from the outer ring road in Hebei District, Tianjin (next to Xingyao Wholesale Market) [Business hours: 9: 00 Monday to Friday & mdash; 17:00];

  Business hall of Binhai Sub-center: No.37, Fifth Avenue, Tanggu Development Zone [Business hours — Monday to Friday 9:00— 16:30]。

  In addition, users can call ETC customer service hotline 4007554007, or call ETC issuing bank for consultation and obtain after-sales service.

  20. Is there anything else to check besides the equipment self-check?

  You also need the majority of ETC owners to check your vehicle information.

  If your actual vehicle model and license plate are inconsistent with the information registered in ETC equipment, the following situations will occur:

  First, it may be intercepted when passing through high speed, which will cause congestion and affect the traffic experience;

  Second, the actual model is smaller than the model registered in ETC equipment, resulting in overcharge;

  Third, the actual model is larger than the model registered in ETC equipment, and it will be included in the ETC blacklist for allegedly evading tolls, which will have a certain impact on your credit.

  In order to avoid the above situation, ETC users, especially truck owners, are requested to contact your ETC handling channel to verify the vehicle information. If the registered model and license plate are found to be inconsistent with the actual situation, please go to the handling bank or ETC business hall in time to correct and complete the correct vehicle information (ETC owners who are not handled in Tianjin need to contact the issuing bank in the corresponding province).

  VI. Electronic Invoice

  21. In order to promote the logistics industry to reduce costs and increase efficiency, and improve the service level of toll roads, the Ministry of Transport, in conjunction with State Taxation Administration of The People’s Republic of China, issued the Notice on Matters Related to Toll Road Toll VAT Electronic Ordinary Invoice, which was officially implemented on April 1. What is the biggest change in the new regulations?

  The implementation of the announcement marks the official arrival of the era of electronic invoices for expressway tolls. Compared with before, there are two major changes in the new regulations:

  First, the expression is standardized, and all the ETC or user card expression parts involved in all documents are changed into ETC cards, which means that the electronic invoices of high-speed tolls are realized based on ETC platform;

  Second, the toll electronic invoice is cancelled, and you can log in to the platform for selecting and confirming the VAT invoice in this province (autonomous region or municipality) within 360 days from the date of issuing the toll electronic invoice, and you can query and select the toll electronic invoice information used to declare the deduction, which simplifies the process of issuing, confirming and deducting the invoice. After the invoice is issued, you can select the "special VAT invoice that meets the certification" for deduction at the time of tax declaration.

  22. Do electronic invoices have the same effect as paper invoices? What are the benefits to users?

  The legal effect, basic use and basic use regulations of electronic invoices are consistent with the tradition. Accelerating the popularization and use of special VAT invoices and providing taxpayers with free electronic invoice issuance services is an important policy to benefit the people. Enterprises can save the invoice printing cost and indirect management cost, which is more convenient for all users to inquire and save, apply for online issuance, and print it as you use it, thus reducing the risk of receiving fake invoices.

  23. How do users issue electronic invoices?

  ETC users can log on to the website of the invoice service platform www.txffp.com (computer client) or download the "ticket stub" APP (mobile client), register for free with the mobile phone number at the time of applying for ETC, fill in the account holder’s name, certificate name, certificate number and other information, and complete the binding of ETC card or user card after verification.

  Then, select the recharge records or transaction records that need to be invoiced, and apply for generating electronic invoices. The invoice service platform provides users with free services such as downloading, forwarding, previewing and querying electronic invoices and detailed information.

  24. What problems should ETC users pay attention to when issuing electronic invoices?

  First, before using the ticket stub platform to issue invoices, users should ensure the accuracy of relevant information such as enterprises, individuals, ETC bindings, etc. If information changes are involved, they should be changed before the recharge or pass transaction to ensure the authenticity and accuracy of the billing information;

  Second, whether in the recharge stage or the consumption stage, the invoice can only be issued once. When recharging, you can directly choose to issue a non-tax invoice, or get a tax invoice within 10 natural days after the actual toll, and a consumption can only be issued once;

  Third, the electronic invoice with the words "no tax" obtained by recharging ETC cannot be used as the input tax deduction voucher, while the value-added tax electronic invoice obtained after the toll transaction can be deducted from the input tax.

  Fourth, the ticket stub platform is a national unified invoicing system. It is recommended that users confirm the relevant information before printing. Once the invoice is printed, it cannot be changed.

  25. How long can ETC users issue electronic invoices after recharging or passing?

  After the ETC stored value card user recharges, the data is uploaded to the invoice platform in real time. After recharging, you can directly query and issue a tax-free invoice through the ticket stub APP;

  All ETC users get tax invoices within 10 natural days after the actual toll, and a consumption can only be issued once.
