Stop, call the police, does ＂Liziqi＂ still belong to Liziqi？

Text/Meng Qian

On September 23rd, Li Ziqi unexpectedly appeared at the mass gathering of the 2021 China Farmers Harvest Festival (Sichuan) and was hired as the ambassador of Sichuan farming culture. On that day, Li Ziqi wore a black shirt on her upper body and jeans on her lower body, and walked onto the podium with sleeves rolled up. Her face looked a bit serious.

She said at the scene: "In the past, it was more about building our own small homes and small courtyards. In the future, we will focus more on the new countryside of China that is sustainable, sustainable, scalable, replicable and spreadable, and better promote Sichuan’s long-standing farming culture to the world."

In fact, after Li Ziqi updated the video of "Well Salt" on July 14th, his accounts on various platforms fell into a long pause. As the top online celebrity in China, Liziqi has 27.56 million fans in Weibo, 54.94 million fans in Tik Tok, 10.29 million fans in Aauto Quicker and 7.29 million fans in bilibili. Overseas, there are more than 15 million fans in YouTube and more than 100 million fans in the world. After the stop, the business impact was huge. Except for the urging of fans, all kinds of rumors about her never stopped.

What happened to Li Ziqi? From "cheating in the name of Li Ziqi" to "the team was dug up and the trademark was fraudulently used", there are also disputes with the incubator behind it, Hangzhou Weinian. As of press time, Hangzhou Weinian told China Newsweek that there was no formal response to this matter, and Li Ziqi did not make a substantive explanation. Only his assistant revealed on September 13th that Li Ziqi was temporarily sorting out problems between the company and third-party companies.

However, Li Zikai himself deleted "It’s terrible! Capital is really a good means! " Reply, and go to the police to report to the police, has pushed the top stream into the whirlpool of public opinion. A battle between top online celebrity and capital seems to be on.

Li Ziqi’s struggle?

Ziqi is happy, we have been standing behind you to support you and defeat the capital. Even if Laoqi can’t be called Laoqi in the future, we will be there wherever she is. Anyway, we only recognize Laoqi … Laoqi is the nickname of short video blogger Li Ziqi’s fans.

In the past Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Ziqi’s fans were worried about her. The video stopped for two months, and no one knows what happened to the top stream with as many as 100 million fans around the world. When Li Ziqi’s assistant sent photos of her playing in the amusement park, fans sent their blessings and expressed their support for her. In fact, during the period when Li Ziqi stopped working, all parties kept their mouths shut.

Li Zikai herself is regarded as the representative of pastoral IP. Judging from her experience and voice in the media, she has a consistent attitude towards the meticulous creation of her own IP, which is one of the reasons why she can maintain her influence.

Li Ziqi, whose real name is Li Jiajia, divorced her parents when she was a child, and then her father died young and was abused by her stepmother. After returning to her grandparents’ side, she learned a lot about cooking skills with her grandfather who worked as a country cook. When his grandfather died, she read the fifth grade of primary school. After she was 14 years old, she began to go out to work, worked as a waiter and slept in the wind.

After working for several years, she found a master to learn music and went to a bar to play CDs. After her grandmother fell ill in 2012, she went back to her hometown to take care of her grandmother and opened a Taobao shop to sell clothes. At the suggestion of her younger brother, she began to send her videos online. In the past, the accumulation of cooking and farming in her hometown created an idyllic version of Li Ziqi. In 2016, Li Ziqi went to Lanzhou to learn from her teacher for a month, and the short video "Lanzhou Beef Noodles" released was popular, with the total broadcast volume exceeding 50 million. At this time, a Mr. L frequently sent a private letter, saying that he liked her video and could help. The two also reached relevant cooperation. At first, Li Jiajia was responsible for content production and micro-reading provided promotion services.

This mysterious Mr. L has also become Li Ziqi’s Bole. He is Liu Tongming, the founder of online celebrity brokerage agency Micro-reading Technology.

Since then, Li Ziqi has become more and more influential, and dozens of advertisers find her every day. In July 2017, Li Ziqi and Hangzhou Weinian Technology Co., Ltd. jointly established Sichuan Ziqi Culture Communication Co., Ltd.

Li Ziqi’s career is getting more and more prosperous from the outside world. No matter at home or abroad, Li Zikai has gained word of mouth and traffic. With the video content such as national cuisine, she has been labeled as a cultural output, and has been called "mysterious power from the East" by overseas netizens, and has been affirmed and praised by mainstream media.

In August 2018, Liziqi Tmall flagship store was officially opened. According to the report "The Most Growing New Consumer Brand in China in 2021" released by Dolphin Think Tank, Liziqi brand’s sales in 2020 reached 1.6 billion yuan, and the number of fans in Tmall store reached 6.33 million. The explosive products of Liziqi brand were born one after another. In 2020, it sold 500 million plums and snail powder alone.

By 2021, Liziqi has become one of the top streams, and the company behind her, Hangzhou Weinian, has also completed seven rounds of financing, including ByteDance, Huaying Capital and Sina Weibo, with a valuation of 5 billion. At this time, Li Ziqi’s stop and alarm were really surprising. On August 30th, Li Zikai first called it "disgusting, can’t bear it so soon" on the social platform, and then she also called it "reporting a police" and replied to the netizen "It’s terrible! Capital is really a good means! " .

In the second half of the month, rumors about the contradiction between Li Ziqi and the capital came out noisily, and various hot events accompanied with the brand of Li Ziqi also emerged endlessly. For example, a supermarket in Yibin, Sichuan used the logo of "Li Ziqi" for products other than the company without authorization and sold and publicized it at a high price. It was even rumored that a male star dug up all Li Ziqi’s team and began to make pastoral videos. More importantly, Weibo Da V broke the news that "Li Ziqi was caught in an equity dispute with capital, and her current situation was far worse than everyone imagined.

A senior entertainment observer who did not want to be named said that stopping the video may have become a hint. This hint seems to be a kind of struggle. As the source of Li Ziqi’s IP, video suspension will have a huge impact on Li Ziqi and the team behind him, on the one hand, the loss of business income, on the other hand, the risk of brand and public opinion.

The entanglement between online celebrity and capital is difficult to solve.

In this stop-watch incident, many fans of Li Ziqi pointed their finger at Wei Nian. In all kinds of chat screenshots and media reports, the contradiction between Li Ziqi and Wei Nian was put on the table. In the equity distribution of Sichuan Ziqi Culture Communication Co., Ltd., a joint venture between them, Li Ziqi only holds 49% of the shares, and the other 51% of the shares belong to Hangzhou Wei Nian Company.

Enterprise survey data shows that Li Ziqi himself does not hold shares in Hangzhou Weinian. The largest shareholder of Hangzhou Weinian is Liu Tongming, the founder of Weinian, with a shareholding ratio of about 19.45%. In addition, there are more than 20 shareholders, including Beijing Weimeng Chuangke Venture Capital Management Co., Ltd. (Sina Weibo Fund), Huaying Capital, Chenhai Capital, ByteDance and other investment institutions.

Weibo user "My Shopkeeper" revealed that the number of participants in Sichuan Ziqi Culture Communication Co., Ltd. is 0, and that in Hangzhou Weinian is 504, which means that the company may be a shell company, and the operation and commercialization of Liziqi brand is basically responsible for Weinian, and provided relevant clues to China Newsweek.

The search of intellectual property rights related to Liziqi through enterprise investigation basically confirms the above-mentioned people’s statement. Most of Liziqi trademarks are held by Sichuan Ziqi Culture Communication Co., Ltd., and many trademarks about Liziqi in Hangzhou Micro-read are in the process of registration application. Most of the copyrights held by Hangzhou Weinian are snail powder jointly signed by Li Ziqi and People’s Daily, lotus root powder jointly signed by icehouse in the Forbidden City, and intellectual property rights related to Li Ziqi’s e-commerce products such as Li Ziqi’s beef sauce and Li Ziqi’s sausage packaging.

Dai Yueqiang, a lawyer of Beijing Ante Law Firm, said that this means that the core intellectual property related to Liziqi’s e-commerce business belongs to the micro-thinking side, and most of the trademarks of Liziqi brand belong to Sichuan Ziqi Culture Communication Co., Ltd., which has weak control over Liziqi. If the company has relevant articles of association, it should make decisions according to the articles of association; If there is no articles of association, it is the major shareholder who has one-vote veto power to make the final decision, and the decision-making power is likely to belong to micro-thinking. When Li Ziqi replied to a netizen, he revealed that he had asked a lawyer to deposit a certificate. If there was an oral agreement and it was confirmed by a third-party witness, Dai Yueqiang said that this might be able to identify part of Li Ziqi’s rights and interests in the company.

It is worth noting that in 2021, Li Ziqi’s two copyrights involved her two works, Snacks for Spring Festival in 2021 and Life of Radish. According to the investigation, the works created in a similar way of making movies were applied by the copyright owner Li Jiajia, but there was no personal application before. Dai Yueqiang said that this showed that she was concerned about the ownership of intellectual property rights.

Back in August, 2020, Liziqi brand officially announced that it would invest and build a factory in Liuzhou to promote the research and development of snail powder taste, quality traceability and raw material quality control. Enterprise search APP shows that Guangxi Xingliu Food Co., Ltd., which holds 70% of Hangzhou Weinian shares, was established in July last year, Hangzhou Chuangliu Food Co., Ltd. holds 30% of the shares, and Li Zikai is also not among the shareholders. Industrial and commercial registration, the flagship store of Liziqi Tmall, is also a micro-reading in Hangzhou.

Only two companies that Li Ziqi holds shares can be verified, namely Sichuan Ziqi Culture Communication Co., Ltd., which holds 49% of the shares, and Shanghai Chenxiangli Creative Planning Studio, which holds 100% of the shares. The above contents all point to online rumors that "Li Zikai has no substantial control over Li Zikai’s e-commerce brand".

The relationship between Li Ziqi and the company behind him is actually very complicated. In the early stage of Li Ziqi’s development, micro-thinking gave strong support, and both of them also experienced the "honeymoon period". In May 2017, Li Zikai was questioned that there was a team behind her, and the video was untrue. She couldn’t bear the pressure of harassment and public opinion, and then stopped. In this storm, she released a video that lasted for more than half an hour, confessing that the video was basically done by her alone. At the same time, she also went to the usual choice of the red man, and chose to cooperate more deeply with MCN organization Hangzhou Micro-Reading, and jointly established a joint venture company.

From 2017 to now, Li Zikai has become a big hit, and has produced unrepeatable influence at home and abroad. These are naturally inseparable from the power of capital. The above-mentioned observers told China Newsweek that incubating an IP is a long process and requires a professional division of labor. Many people didn’t think it could be done at first, and Li Ziqi may be the same. His popularity overseas is even more subtle.

Due to the growing influence of Li Zikai, Hangzhou Micro-Reading has also completed its transformation in the past few years, with a valuation of 5 billion. According to industry insiders, the investors’ investments are all focused on the value of Li Ziqi’s IP.

The above-mentioned observers told China Newsweek that in the relationship between Redskins and MCN institutions, institutions play a very strong role as incubators, unless Redskins themselves participate in the company’s decision-making management, but non-head Redskins basically do not have this ability. Viya, Li Jiaqi and Luo Yonghao, the top celebrities, basically started their own companies or became company partners to ensure their own rights and interests.

"The Li Zikai incident may depend on the fact that the early agreement between the red man and the organization was not solid at first, and it may not be updated during the operation." The observer added, "The key lies in the difference between Liziqi and other anchors with goods. Liziqi is commercialized after the content is made, while Viya, Li Jiaqi and others form the content IP after the goods are brought. The former is difficult to quantify, while the latter can see the output. Li Zikai’s filming of a video itself has no commercial value. After the micro-reading operation, the commercial value has increased greatly. If the e-commerce brand of Li Zikai is separated from the operation of Li Zikai, Li Zikai himself has no right to speak in actual operation. "

Li Chengdong, the founder of the Dolphin Think Tank, thinks that Micro-thoughts cooperated with Li Ziqi when there were only 10,000 fans in Weibo, and it was in a very early stage. There was also a clear division of labor in the agreement, with Li Ziqi doing content and Micro-thoughts doing commercialization. "The main change in this matter may still be Li Zikai himself, with new demands." Li chengdong said that Li Zikai did not participate in the commercial operation of the brand.

You may have to resort to law in the end.

Since the rise of "online celebrity Economy", MCN institutions have mushroomed. Relevant data show that there are as many as 20,000 MCN institutions in China in 2020, covering about 90% of online celebrity in China. However, the incubation success probability of MCN institutions is very low. Zhang Shule, an industry veteran, said that 90% of MCN institutions are not even qualified to accompany them, so the core IP is more important.

"How many plums can there be?" The above-mentioned observers think that it is a good thing for Li Ziqi to take the initiative to tell this kind of thing. "Not everyone has the opportunity and pattern of Viya or Li Jiaqi. Brand control and revenue sharing are two different things, which involves a matter of accounting. If it is unclear, it may be solved by law. "

Previously, there was a dispute between the red man and MCN organization in online celebrity industry. "Lynne", who shot Wuhan vlog during the epidemic period and became popular, accused his MCN organization of forcing him to send commercial promotion videos during the epidemic period, and used huge compensation as a threat to restrict him from finding another way out. This incident also attracted the attention of people in online celebrity industry. In the end, Lynne also relied on legal means to solve it.

Dai Yueqiang pointed out that in the real business concept, the essence of IP is an intangible asset with its own original content, obvious personal characteristics and commercial value. online celebrity is its main representative and characteristic, and it is a new existence of commercial development. Its originator comes from the concept of Intellectual Property in law, that is, the rights of intellectual creators, which involves civil rights, including trademark rights, patents, copyrights, trade secrets, packaging and decoration of well-known products, etc., and it is mainly up to both parties to agree on relevant terms.

At present, the contradiction of Li Ziqi incident focuses on the ownership of intellectual property rights such as trademarks and copyrights between Li Ziqi and the capital. Dai Yueqiang said, "In the Li Ziqi incident, the ownership of trademark rights is involved. One of the legal functions of trademark rights is identification. Whoever applies for a trademark belongs to it. If Li Ziqi goes to court, the trademark right is close to his personality characteristics, and it is possible to get the right to use it through relevant judgment, but it will also pay a corresponding price. In this respect, we can learn from the previous’ red can dispute’ between Guangyao Wang Laoji and Jiaduobao, and both parties can jointly enjoy the rights and interests of the packaging and decoration of "red can Wang Laoji herbal tea" without harming the legitimate interests of others. "

"As a online celebrity, it is an objective existence of new retail commercialization, an important intangible asset with popularity and goodwill value. At the same time, online celebrity is a sales supported by personal popularity and reputation, and a new commercial expression to identify goodwill." Dai Yueqiang pointed out that the issue of goodwill right was also reflected in the Li Ziqi incident. Generally speaking, it reflected the investment and dedication of relevant operators. The contribution of Li Ziqi and Wei Nian to the brand may need to be judged by law.

The above-mentioned observers affirmed that there is nothing wrong with the operation idea of micro-reading objectively, because when the IP was first hatched, it was difficult for the red man to manage and expand, and the industry was chaotic and disorderly. Because of the management of IP, it may be stronger in terms of terms. "For Li Ziqi himself, it is a little unfair to have no brand control. After all, it is a personal brand. As the source of Liziqi brand, Liziqi can only be controlled by protecting his face and trying. "

With the growing economic development in online celebrity, related disputes and disputes in this industry have attracted more and more attention. The publicity of Li Zikai’s contradiction with the capital side may also sound the alarm for the industry. Dai Yueqiang believes that in relevant agreements and terms, the development of red people should be constrained according to their own characteristics. With the change of development stage, the division of red people and institutions can be adjusted. "In this process, it is also a game. If the performance is improved to the corresponding personnel’s shares, it may be more appropriate. However, some people pay more and get less. At this time, resorting to the court will judge according to the actual situation. The principle of fairness and the system of balancing interests should be the main basis for resolving disputes. "

Reporting/feedback

Manatee II successfully drilled 231 meters in water over 2000 meters to set a new world record.

　　Successfully drilled 231 meters in water depth exceeding 2000 meters, setting a new world record.

　　Deep-sea drilling, "Manatee II" is a real cow (scientific and technological point of view)

　　Yu Sinan Tang Yahui

　　Deep-sea mineral resources are abundant. To discover and study them, samples need to be obtained through underwater drilling. Among various sampling methods, submarine drilling rig has become a popular high-tech equipment because of its advantages of low drilling cost, high efficiency, small sample disturbance and easy operation.

　　Not long ago, China’s self-developed "Manatee II" deep-hole pressure-maintaining coring rig system successfully lowered 231 meters in deep water over 2000 meters, setting a new world record for deep-sea subsea rigs, marking China’s leading level in this field.

　　It looks heavy, but in fact it is extraordinary.

　　Drilling below 200 meters means that China has the exploration ability of full coverage of marine resources in theory.

　　Manatee II was developed by Wan Buyan, a professor at Hunan University of Science and Technology. Wan Buyan introduced that "Manatee II" consists of a submarine drilling rig body, a submarine in-situ detector and a mobile submarine drilling rig supporting retraction system. "Among them, the drilling rig body is an orange-yellow octagonal steel structure with a height of 7.6 meters. ‘ Waist circumference ’ It is 10 meters and weighs 12 tons. It is currently the heaviest geological exploration scientific research equipment in China. "

　　The seemingly bulky "Manatee II" is flexible when working on the seabed. Its "weapon" is 78 drill pipes, each 3 meters long, arranged on the disk like a revolver bullet. During operation, through the rotation of the disc, the manipulator takes the rod and loads it, and drills the drill pipe into the rock stratum one by one.

　　The drill bit is equivalent to the horn of "Manatee II" and is made of materials such as diamond and cemented carbide. Researchers have designed different kinds of drill bits, some for hard rock strata and some for sedimentary rock soft rock strata.

　　Manatee II set a new world record on April 7th. Wan Buyan told reporters that on the same day, after about two and a half hours of diving, "Manatee II" reached the seabed with a water depth of 2,060 meters. After completing the attitude adjustment, Manatee II immediately started pressure-maintaining coring drilling in the target layer. About 15 hours later, the depth of the drilling hole reached 231 meters underground.

　　In addition to drilling deep, Manatee II also has a unique stunt — — Pressure maintaining and coring. This is the key to explore some seabed minerals such as combustible ice. According to Wan Buyan, under seawater pressure, combustible ice is "ice"-like. Once it leaves its suitable seawater depth, it will become gas volatile due to pressure reduction. Therefore, the common deep-sea drilling rig can’t sample combustible ice, and it can only do so if the pressure of the seabed formation is kept equal.

　　Previously, the maximum drilling depth design capacity of the global subsea drilling rig was 200m, but the actual pressure-keeping coring operation only reached 135m, and "Manatee II" greatly refreshed this record.

　　Through drilling sampling analysis, we can understand the mineral reserves, grade and burial form, and draw a "treasure map" for future mining. "The deeper you drill, the more resources you can explore." Wan Buyan said that the marine mineral resources with commercial exploitation potential discovered by human beings are basically within 200 meters of the seabed. Drilling below 200 meters means that China has the exploration ability of full coverage of marine resources in theory.

　　According to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the resources on the high seas are shared by all mankind, and the right to exploit resources generally follows the rule that whoever explores gives priority. Experts in the industry said that "Manatee II" is a "sword" for deep-sea drilling in China, and its sheath has given China an extra technical advantage in the research and development of seabed solid mineral resources.

　　Overcome multiple technical problems

　　All key technologies are independently developed, and 125 patents have been obtained so far.

　　The deep sea pressure is high and the temperature is low. It is very difficult for "Manatee II" to successfully realize a series of operations such as drilling rig retraction, attitude adjustment, pressure sealing, drill pipe and core pipe unloading, automatic measurement and control, etc. in a complex environment.

　　According to Wan Buyan, "Manatee II" has mainly overcome the technical problems such as full-range pressure-keeping rope coring, drill pipe storage and rapid loading and unloading, intelligent and expert operation system, safe and reliable lowering and recovery of submarine drilling rig.

　　In the drilling process, it is not difficult to maintain pressure and core in a certain section, but it is difficult to maintain pressure in the whole process. In order to solve this problem, researchers have been tackling key problems for many years. Through remote control of full-hole pressure-maintaining rope coring with large hole depth, the original principle, technology and process of full-length direct sealing and pressure-maintaining coring of core tube have been adopted, and finally the high-efficiency and high-reliability full-hole pressure-maintaining coring with small diameter and large hole depth of submarine drilling rig has been realized.

　　Wan Buyan said that "Manatee II" is "smart". Researchers have tailored a lot of sensor equipment for it. These sensors combine the team’s many years of offshore field drilling experience. At the bottom of the sea, the drill bit will quickly and automatically judge and adaptively adjust the drilling mode and parameters according to the formation characteristics, which solves the adaptability problem of the submarine drilling rig and the matching coring technology to the complex seabed formation, thus greatly improving the drilling efficiency, coring rate and coring quality.

　　Thanks to the automatic and intelligent design, one person can complete the operation of "Manatee II" on the mother ship. At the same time of drilling and coring, "Manatee II" can also do "part-time work": in-situ detecting the resistivity and porosity of rocks, taking pictures of rocks around the hole, etc.

　　In the design and technology of the retractable device of the subsea drilling rig, the team solved the problem that the alignment and closeness of the subsea drilling rig and the retractable device are difficult and prone to impact and collision due to the swaying of the mother ship, and realized the functions of automatically correcting the retractable orientation of the subsea drilling rig in water and automatically holding the subsea drilling rig tightly during the vertical overturning process, thus improving the retractable efficiency of the subsea drilling rig and the safety and reliability of the retractable process.

　　It is worth mentioning that all key technologies of "Manatee II" are independently researched and developed, and 125 patents have been obtained at present.

　　The development of "Manatee II" is based on the project of "Deep Sea Key Technology and Equipment Special Project", a national key R&D plan in China. For "Manatee II", the task book has three major objectives, namely, the working water depth is not less than 2,000m, the drilling depth is not less than 200m, and the pressure holding success rate is not less than 60%. To Wan Buyan’s delight, this sea trial fully verified the design performance of "Manatee II" and achieved the mission objectives beyond expectations.

　　Will continue to optimize in the future.

　　Challenging geological drilling sampling in 10,000-meter water depth is the team’s next goal.

　　"Manatee II" was not born, but the result of persistent and continuous research and development for more than 20 years. In 2000, Wan Buyan’s team began to develop deep-sea drilling rigs. Three years later, the team made the first deep-sea shallow core sampling rig in China, and drilled 0.7 meters under the seabed to obtain the first core sample.

　　In 2010, the deep-sea deep-hole core sampling rig developed by this team pushed the seabed drilling depth to 20 meters. In 2012, the predecessor of Manatee II — — The manatee development project was officially launched. In 2015, the Manatee drilled 60 meters under 3,000 meters of sea water. As a result, China has become the fourth country in the world to have the technology to drill 60 meters in the seabed with a water depth greater than 3000 meters.

　　Nowadays, many marine scientific research vessels in China are equipped with patented equipment invented by Wan Buyan’s team, and more than 1,000 holes have been drilled in the deep sea.

　　The development of subsea drilling rig is closely related to the exploration process of seabed resources in China. Wan Buyan told reporters that before 1999, China was unable to develop large-scale deep-sea electromechanical equipment, so it had to rent equipment from abroad. Later, China decided to independently develop deep-sea drilling equipment. Wan Buyan’s team took up the task despite difficulties. They started almost from scratch, constantly groping and bravely tackling key problems.

　　In recent years, China has paid more and more attention to the research and development of marine technology and equipment. Deep-sea seabed drilling technology has strong radiation to other deep-sea equipment manufacturing technologies and can drive research and development in related fields. Wan Buyan said that more than 10 years ago, almost all the equipment on the scientific research ship was imported, and now the domestic equipment has reached more than 80%, and this proportion will be higher and higher in the future.

　　Wan Buyan said that the team will further optimize the performance of deep-sea drilling equipment and improve its environmental adaptability, operational performance and intelligence. In addition, they also plan to promote the mass production of "Manatee II" and promote its application in the fields of submarine oil and gas stopes, offshore wind farm construction and engineering geological exploration.

　　At present, "Manatee II" is still working at sea. The Mariana Trench, with a depth of more than 10,000 meters, has not been drilled by humans. "Challenging geological drilling sampling in 10,000-meter water depth is our team’s next goal." Wan Buyan said.

The supreme leader talks about how to make cadres feel alert on thin ice.

　　The Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of communist party, China will be held in Beijing from October 24th to 27th. At that time, the plenary session will review the draft document of the Regulations on Inner-Party Supervision in the Communist Party of China (CPC). Inner-party supervision is one of the key measures to keep the party healthy and purify the political ecology. Only by strengthening inner-party supervision, bearing in mind that the right must be responsible and the right to use it is supervised, can we move forward, treat both the symptoms and the root causes, and promote the comprehensive and strict administration of the party. The micro-platform of the Party Construction Network has sorted out some important expositions of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on strengthening inner-party supervision, and studied together!　

　　Why emphasize supervision?

　　The party must be strict.

　　If the party is not well managed and lax, and the outstanding problems within the party that are strongly reflected by the people are not solved, then our party will lose its ruling qualification sooner or later and will inevitably be eliminated by history. To manage the party, we must be strict with the word, implement strict requirements in the whole process, and be really strict, dare to be strict, and be long-term and strict.

　　— — On July 1, 2016, the Supreme Leader’s speech at the celebration of the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC).　　

　　The more powerful party member cadres are, the more they should be managed and supervised.

　　The more powerful cadres in party member are, the more they are subject to strict management and supervision. It is not enough to touch the tiger’s ass. We should not neglect the selection, employment and management of people. One of the big problems now is that the people who choose people don’t care about people, don’t supervise people, and some party committees don’t care about supervision. When cadres have an accident, they will be handed over to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. This is not acceptable. Party committees should shoulder the main responsibility of building a clean and honest party style, choose and use cadres well, and manage cadres well.

　　— — Speech by the Supreme Leader at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on January 13th, 2015　

　　Accountability for supervision and discipline is the fundamental responsibility given to the discipline inspection organs by party constitution.

　　Accountability for supervision and discipline is the fundamental duty entrusted to the discipline inspection organs by party constitution. Disciplinary committees at all levels should identify the functional orientation in the comprehensive and strict administration of the party, strengthen supervision and discipline, and increase accountability. It is necessary to take the opportunity of implementing the Code of Integrity and Self-discipline in the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Regulations on Disciplinary Actions in the Communist Party of China (CPC), explore and establish an effective mechanism that does not dare to corrupt, cannot corrupt and does not want to corrupt, and provide a strong discipline guarantee for promoting the comprehensive and strict administration of the party and coordinating the promotion of the "four comprehensive" strategic layout.

　　— — On October 8, 2015, the Supreme Leader’s speech at the 119th meeting of the 18th The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) when deliberating the revised draft of the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s clean government guidelines and disciplinary regulations.

　　The power without supervision will inevitably lead to corruption.

　　It is necessary to strengthen the regular management and supervision of cadres and form strict constraints on cadres. It is an iron law that power without supervision will inevitably lead to corruption. It is not easy to train cadres organizationally. It is necessary to manage and supervise them well, so that they will always be alert to walking on thin ice.

　　— — Speech by the Supreme Leader at the National Organizational Work Conference on June 28, 2013

What is the key content of supervision?

　　Abide by the party’s constitution and other internal laws and regulations, safeguard the authority of the central government, and implement the party’s line, principles and policies, as well as the resolutions, decisions and work arrangements of party organizations at higher levels;

　　Abide by the Constitution and laws, and adhere to the rule of law;

　　The implementation of democratic centralism;

　　Protection of rights in party member;

　　The implementation of the relevant provisions of the party and the state in the selection and appointment of cadres;

　　Close contact with the masses to realize, safeguard and develop the fundamental interests of the people;

　　Integrity and self-discipline and grasping the construction of a clean and honest party style.

How to strengthen supervision

　　Strengthen inner-party supervision and adhere to democratic centralism

　　To strengthen inner-party supervision, we must adhere to, improve and implement democratic centralism, organically combine centralism on the basis of democracy with democracy under centralized guidance, fully mobilize the supervision of superiors to subordinates, among peers and subordinates to superiors, and ensure that inner-party supervision is implemented and effective.

　　— — Speech by the Supreme Leader at the Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on January 12, 2016

　　Strengthen inner-party supervision and do a good job in the top-level design of the supervision system.

　　It is necessary to combine inner-party supervision with state supervision and mass supervision, and coordinate with legal supervision, democratic supervision, audit supervision, judicial supervision and public opinion supervision to form a joint force of supervision and promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity.

　　— — Speech by the Supreme Leader at the Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on January 12, 2016

　　Party organizations at all levels should conscientiously act according to party constitution, strictly regulate the management and supervision of party organizations, party member cadres, especially leading cadres, and inner-party political life, systematize the content, improve the measures, and link up the links so as not to miss people, lack items, or lose links, so that existing problems can be discovered in time, problems found can be solved in time, and a problem can be solved by analogy.

　　— — November 1, 2014 — On the 2 nd, the supreme leader stressed during the investigation in Fujian.

　　Strengthen inner-party supervision and seize the "key minority"

　　Party organizations at all levels should set up more supervision "probes" so that the top leaders can be under the supervision of Party organizations, party member and the masses. The supervision of superiors to subordinates, especially the supervision of superiors to subordinates, is the most useful and effective. Party organizations at higher levels should know more about the daily thinking, work and living conditions of the top leaders at lower levels, pay more attention to the reflection of cadres and the masses on the problems of the top leaders at lower levels, and listen to the opinions of the members of the leading bodies at lower levels on the top leaders. Party member and cadres can supervise the top leaders at party meetings, promotion of cadres, debriefing of leading cadres and other links.

　　— — Speech by the Supreme Leader at the Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on January 12, 2016

　　Strengthen inner-party supervision and implement the "two responsibility"

　　Implement the main responsibility of the party Committee and the supervision responsibility of the discipline inspection commission, and strengthen accountability. A very important aspect of the reform of anti-corruption system and mechanism is to clarify and implement responsibilities. Without accountability, even the best system will become a paper tiger and a scarecrow. The Third Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee proposed that the Party Committee should take the main responsibility and the Commission for Discipline Inspection should take the supervisory responsibility to implement the responsibility system for building a clean and honest party style.

　　— — Speech by the Supreme Leader at the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on January 14th, 2014

　　Strengthen inner-party supervision and play the role of patrolling the sword

　　The greater the power, the more likely it is to appear "black under the lamp." To strengthen inner-party supervision, we must first manage the central and state organs well. The supervision of accredited institutions is an important part of the supervision system of the party and the state. We implement the combination of separate accreditation and comprehensive accreditation to realize the comprehensive accreditation of party and state organs at the central level. The accredited institutions have strengthened supervision and accountability, and the authority of the "faction" and the advantages of "resident" have been significantly enhanced.

　　— — Speech by the Supreme Leader at the Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on January 12, 2016

　　The universality and tendentiousness problems found in inspections should be promptly fed back to the party committees of localities, departments, enterprises and institutions, and the main responsibility should be urged to be implemented, and the system loopholes should be plugged. The main responsible comrades should plant their own fields of responsibility, and it is a serious dereliction of duty not to pay attention to the construction of party style and clean government. The localities, departments and units that are not in place for inspection and rectification should seize the typical examples and be seriously accountable. The rectification situation should be supervised by the party and society in an appropriate way, so as to enhance the confidence of the masses and improve the effectiveness of inspections.

　　— — On January 23, 2014, the Supreme Leader listened to the report of the Central Leading Group for Inspection Work in the second half of 2013 in The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC).

　　Strengthen inner-party supervision and improve the accountability mechanism

　　Adhere to the responsibility to ask, accountability must be strict, and organically combine supervision and inspection, target assessment and accountability to form a strong driving force for the implementation of laws and regulations. The contents, objects, matters, subjects, procedures and methods of accountability should be institutionalized and programmed. Accountability should not only be for things, but also for people, and should be asked about specific people.

　　— — On June 26, 2015, the Supreme Leader’s speech at the 24th collective study in the 18th the Political Bureau of the Central Committee.

　　Strengthening inner-party supervision, discipline inspection and supervision organs should prevent "darkness under the lamp"

　　It is necessary to educate and guide the broad masses of discipline inspection and supervision cadres to dare to take responsibility, dare to supervise and dare to be responsible, firmly establish political beliefs loyal to the party and the cause of discipline inspection and supervision, and strive to become a loyal, clean and responsible discipline inspection and supervision team. Discipline inspection and supervision organs should prevent "black under the lamp", seriously deal with outstanding problems such as seeking personal gains by cases, colluding with others, and leaking air, and clean up the portal so as to strike while the iron is hot.

— — Speech by the Supreme Leader at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on January 13th, 2015

　　Strengthen inner-party supervision and make good use of criticism and self-criticism.

　　We demand that we open the door to engage in activities, carry out criticism and self-criticism, do not beat around the bush, go straight to the point, give advice with real swords and spears, and help comrades with enthusiasm, so as to have the effect of blushing, sweating, touching the mind and touching the soul.

Xu Liaoyuan： Why does the Universiade torch resonate across borders？

　　China news agency, Chengdu, June 9 th Question: Why does the Universiade torch resonate across borders?

　　— — Interview with Xu Liaoyuan, the torch designer of the 31st World Universiade.

　　Author Yue Yitong Shan Peng

　　"Through the exchange of sports art, even if it is a small torch, the audience all over the world can feel the emotion and cultural connotation that the artist has poured into it, thus generating empathy." Xu Liaoyuan, a design artist, director of Chengdu Xuliaoyuan Museum of Modern Design and Art, and the torch designer of the 31st Summer Universiade (hereinafter referred to as Chengdu Universiade), said in an exclusive interview with China News Service’s "East-West Question" recently that the creation of sports art represented by torch design reflects the cultural characteristics of a region and an era, which is conducive to enhancing cultural exchanges in the world.

　　 The interview record is summarized as follows:

　　 China News Service reporter: The torch is the spiritual symbol of the Olympic Movement, and the torch relay is its unique literary form. What kind of cultural connotation has been injected into the design of Chengdu Universiade torch "Rong Huo"?

　　 Xu yuyuan:As the carrier of the Olympic flame, the Olympic torch ceremony has a history of more than 2700 years. In recent decades, every Olympic Games will give birth to a new torch with both artistic creation and cultural connotation. The torch symbolizes the pursuit of "higher, faster and stronger" sportsmanship and is an important cultural heritage left by the Olympic Games to the world. The Universiade, known as the "Little Olympics", also continued the tradition of the Olympic torch ceremony.

　　The torch relay ceremony was held for the first time at the Berlin Olympic Games in 1936. Since then, the torch held high by torchbearers has come into public view, and people have begun to care about the color, shape, material and cultural connotation of the torch design.

　　With the development of the times, the torch design is constantly innovating, and at the same time, it has gradually formed a distinct design principle: it can not only reflect the theme of the Olympic Games, but also show the image of the host country. Therefore, in addition to the Olympic spirit, a small torch should also bear strong regional characteristics and rich humanistic colors. For example, the torch "Xiangyun" of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games is full of oriental charm. The moire inscription carved on the upper part of the torch symbolizes the rise of Xiangyun, and the color scheme of lacquer red and the shape of paper scroll make this torch a symbol that embodies the Millennium Chinese civilization.

　　The landing of the Summer Universiade in Chengdu is an opportunity to convey Chengdu’s voice to the world and promote Tianfu culture. Chengdu Universiade torch "Ronghuo" took more than 400 days from writing design to scheme release, during which several schemes were changed. The torch is a very small carrier, and it is difficult to carry too much information. Therefore, in the design scheme of "Ronghuo", we only captured the cultural symbolic elements of "Land of Abundance" such as the giant panda and the sun god bird.

　　Sichuan is the hometown of giant pandas. On the front of Ronghuo, there is a naive giant panda with his hands around the torch, showing the optimistic and tolerant cultural attitude of Chengdu people. The design of "Rong Huo" also pays tribute to the ancient Shu civilization. For example, the gesture of giant pandas embracing each other looks like the bronze statue of Sanxingdui from the side; The fire exit is embedded with the pattern of the ancient Shu totem sun god bird, and four god birds carry the sun and fly, which is the best interpretation of the ancient Shu ancestors yearning for the starry sky more than 3000 years ago. In addition, the overall shape of the torch refers to the ivory unearthed from Jinsha site; The torch crown is undulating, symbolizing the rolling mountains of Bashu land; The torch also adopts a gradient of cold and warm colors, which shows the burning passion of the youthful power of the Universiade.

　　 China News Service reporter: What are the similarities and differences between the eastern and western torch design concepts? How does the torch show the mutual learning between eastern and western civilizations?

　　 Xu yuyuan:The whole history of human creation is a life history as well as a creation history. Everyone and every creative group are creating an ideal way of life, and all the cultural evidences left behind today are the embodiment of this life history. There are differences in the understanding of life between the East and the West. Westerners use knives, forks and spoons, while orientals use chopsticks, which reflects the different wisdom of human beings in the East and the West.

　　In terms of art, oriental art is not a complicated decoration, but a pure and highly refined one. For example, oriental freehand brushwork ink painting is a natural expressionist art, which can strongly express water without drawing water; Song porcelain conveys the oriental expression of life ideal through the washing and purification of its shape. I call this pure design language and oriental way of looking at things "visual poetry", which means that design should be as pure as poetry.

　　However, world civilizations have always learned from each other. Oriental culture is influenced by western culture, and it is difficult for western modern and contemporary art to produce excellent works if it is not influenced by oriental painting or the concept of creation. From the perspective of human beings, art is the expression of human commonness, whether in the East or in the West. Therefore, art has no borders, and overseas audiences can understand the artistic creation of the East. Aesthetics is the art of intuitive experience and visual art, but if aesthetics is regarded as knowledge feedback, it will cause obstacles to understanding. Artistic aesthetics should return to its ontological language state, and use intuition to understand and create the experience of life, rather than making logical analysis based on knowledge system.

　　When people see beautiful things, they are moved by life without obstacles. When they see a torch, first of all, they will intuitively face the torch design and produce real psychological feelings; Secondly, they can understand the symbolic meaning of giant panda, bamboo, sun god bird and other symbols by understanding the meaning, and further understand the connotation of Tianfu culture.

　　 China News Service reporter: How does the sports art represented by the torch of the Universiade "Rong Huo" show the confidence of Chinese civilization and culture?

　　 Xu yuyuan:Chinese civilization, which has a long history of thousands of years, is still alive today. Even if it encounters difficulties in the long river of circulating years, there is always a voice to awaken it. This strong vitality is cultural self-confidence deeply rooted in the blood of the Chinese nation, and the continuity of Chinese civilization itself is its greatness.

　　At the same time, don’t misunderstand the inner meaning of cultural self-confidence, not to say that simply misappropriating ancient patterns and symbols in contemporary life is the best way to embody cultural self-confidence. This is not a simple problem of misappropriation. All the pioneering, avant-garde and innovative things created by Chinese today are new contributions to the world. This kind of cultural self-confidence comes from bone and blood, and naturally manifests itself in all aspects of human activities, including sports art. The future and development of Chinese civilization are the increasingly diverse and rich forms and the pace of continuous progress.

　　Although China is an ancient country with a civilization history of more than 5,000 years, it is hoped that the world can see a youthful China and a future China through the Universiade. Today, we don’t need to prove the greatness of Chinese civilization, but we should show the future of Chinese civilization through today’s creation.

　　 China News Service reporter: How can the creation of sports art, represented by torch design, enhance the world cultural exchange?

　　 Xu yuyuan:Sports events are a gathering of human beings. No matter where they come from, no matter what color they are, everyone gathers together. This is a platform for the coexistence of multicultural values and the sharing of civilized achievements, which can challenge the limits of human beings and achieve unity, commonality and integration. The essence of sports art is an expression of sports spirit, and every artistic creation is also an opportunity for cultural exchange.

　　Taking the torch as an example, according to the different venues, it presents different artistic features and carries the unique cultural characteristics of the region. People from different parts of the world communicate with each other and the world becomes rich and colorful. (End)

　　If five years ago, people just felt that the Internet made life more convenient, five years later, under the influence of the COVID-19 epidemic, the construction of digital society has been accelerated, and the Internet has been fully integrated into people’s daily lives.

　　Internet plus Retail, internet plus Catering, Internet+Medical Care, Internet+Education … … The "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period is a five-year period in which the Internet in China has flourished and achieved fruitful results. 5G communication has grown from scratch, technologies such as network and information have accelerated to penetrate into the industry, platform economy and sharing economy have flourished, online and offline have been rapidly integrated, and the Internet has been fully integrated with all walks of life with an irresistible trend.

　　This year is the closing year of building a well-off society in an all-round way and the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", and it is a new starting point for the comprehensive improvement of the network letter business. In the past five years, China’s network information industry has made historic achievements, the construction of a network power has reached a new level, the core technologies in the information field have been continuously broken, and the benefits of the network for the benefit of the people and the people have been fully released.

　　Infrastructure construction continued to improve.

　　At 11 o’clock on May 27th this year, the Everest Elevation Survey Team successfully reached the summit, and completed a live broadcast with the highest altitude in the world through the 5G signal. At that moment, the record of human use of the Internet was once again refreshed. The difference is that this record was created by China people.

　　At the other end of the network, tens of millions of netizens have witnessed the "China Height" through the technology of 5G+ cloud network. This is another important network event after hundreds of millions of "cloud supervisors" witnessed the "China Speed" built by Vulcan Mountain and Thunder God Mountain hospital through 5G+ cloud network technology in February this year.

　　During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, China’s new generation information infrastructure has achieved leap-forward development. On the basis of 2G follow-up, 3G breakthrough and 4G catch-up, mobile communication has achieved 5G lead, and the world’s largest fixed optical fiber network and 4G network have been built. The scale deployment of IPv6 has been accelerated, and the construction of an integrated information network between heaven and earth has been accelerated.

　　The Report on the Construction and Development Process of Digital China (2019) shows that the scale deployment of IPv6 in China has made great progress. By the end of 2019, the number of active users of IPv6 reached 270 million, accounting for 31% of the total Internet users, and the number of users with assigned IPv6 addresses reached 1.392 billion. 5G commercialization has been accelerated in an all-round way. By the end of December 2019, China had opened 130,000 5G base stations, and 5G users grew rapidly. The Beidou-3 global satellite navigation system has been launched, and the global positioning accuracy is better than 10 meters. The localization rate of the core components of Beidou-3 satellite is 100%, and Beidou related products have been exported to more than 120 countries and regions.

　　The acceleration of infrastructure construction allows more people to enjoy the network dividend. As of March this year, the number of netizens in China reached 904 million, an increase of 75.08 million compared with the end of 2018, and the Internet penetration rate reached 64.5%, an increase of 4.9 percentage points compared with the end of 2018. Among them, the Internet penetration rate in rural areas was 46.2%, up 7.8 percentage points from the end of 2018, and the gap between urban and rural areas narrowed by 5.9 percentage points.

　　Yu Zeng, director of China Internet Network Information Center, said that in 2019, China has built the world’s largest optical fiber and mobile communication network, with the proportion of optical fiber and 4G in administrative villages exceeding 98%, and fixed Internet broadband users accessing more than 450 million households. At the same time, the construction of new infrastructure around high-tech industries, scientific research and innovation, smart cities and other related industries is accelerating, further accelerating the industrial application of new technologies, giving birth to new industrial forms, expanding new supply, and promoting the formation of new economic models, which will effectively promote the quality improvement of regional economic development and the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure.

　　Digital economy becomes a new growth point

　　"buy it, buy it!"

　　The "6.18" online shopping festival released people’s enthusiasm for consumption in the excitement and grounded hawking of "with goods" anchors. The all-round development of digital economy has stimulated the amazing energy of China’s consumer market.

　　There are many such outbreaks. During the epidemic prevention and control period, from the emergence of new business forms to the expansion of new consumption, from the creation of new jobs to the development of digitalization, a series of positive new features, new trends and new opportunities have emerged in China’s economy.

　　During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the digital economy has flourished and has become a new growth point of economic development. As of March this year, the number of online shopping users in China reached 710 million, and the transaction scale in 2019 reached 10.63 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 16.5%. Digital trade has continuously opened up new space for foreign trade development. In 2019, the total retail import and export commodities through the customs cross-border electronic commerce management platform reached 186.21 billion yuan, an increase of 38.3%. Digital enterprises accelerate the development of enabling industries. Digital enterprises continuously improve the digitalization level of supply chain by innovating business model and accelerating the application of digital technology, which provides important support for industrial transformation and upgrading.

　　Yu Zeng pointed out that the huge netizens constitute the booming consumer market in China, laying a solid user base for the development of digital economy. At present, the digital economy has become a new kinetic energy for economic growth, and new formats and models emerge one after another. In this epidemic, the digital economy has played an important role in ensuring consumption and employment and promoting the resumption of work and production, showing strong growth potential.

　　The data shows that at the beginning of this year, the user scale of most network applications showed a significant increase. Among them, the number of users of online education, online government affairs, online payment, online video, online shopping, instant messaging, online music, search engines and other applications has increased rapidly compared with the end of 2018, with an increase of more than 10%.

　　Wang Yukai, a member of the National Informationization Expert Advisory Committee and a professor at the Central Party School (National School of Administration), believes that China’s Internet industry has a huge consumer market, enterprises and technical foundation, and will usher in a new round of historical opportunities for rapid development in the post-epidemic era, and the Internet industry will present a brand-new vigorous development trend. Among them, the consumer Internet will be upgraded to the industrial Internet, and the process of industrial digital transformation will continue to accelerate; The Internet of Everything will form a big connection to further promote the sharing of Internet dividends; The platform economy ecology will be more abundant, and the empowerment effect on the transformation of the physical industry will continue to be highlighted.

　　The people’s sense of gain is constantly improving.

　　Guizhou is a traditional labor export province, but a large number of migrant workers have returned to their hometowns for employment in Zheng ‘an County, Zunyi City. The reason for this change is the emergence of a "Taobao Village" specializing in guitars, which sold 8 million guitars a year through the Internet. The guitar industry not only promotes employment, but also promotes the development of local catering, entertainment and other service industries.

　　People who walked out of the mountains before are returning home because of the guitar Taobao village. Before Tang Yujiang returned to his hometown to become a guitar packing worker, he worked in various places to earn medical expenses for his sick son. He said: "Now this job is too good, the wind can’t blow, the rain can’t fall, and I can take care of my children at home, which is also very respected by everyone." There are still many people who rely on Taobao factory to get rid of poverty like Tang Yujiang.

　　The development of Zheng ‘an County is a microcosm of network poverty alleviation to speed up bridging the digital divide. Under the guidance of the Key Points of Network Poverty Alleviation in 2019 jointly issued by the Central Network Information Office, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the network coverage project has been deepened and expanded, the network poverty alleviation and digital village construction have continued to advance, and the digital divide has been narrowing. With the in-depth promotion of the two major projects of "every village" and "pilot project of universal telecommunications service" in China, the broad masses of peasants gradually keep up with the pace of the Internet era and enjoy the convenience of the information society.

　　In today’s China, nearly 1 billion netizens are gaining a sense of gain with the development of the Internet. In order to develop the network information business, we must implement the people-centered development thought. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, China’s Internet applications have become increasingly closely integrated with people’s lives. Applications such as WeChat, short videos and live broadcasts have lowered the threshold for Internet use and continuously enriched people’s cultural and entertainment life; The application of online government affairs is people-oriented, focusing on solving the blocking points, pain points and difficulties of people’s daily work; Internet services such as online shopping and online public welfare have played an important role in increasing farmers’ income and driving netizens to participate in poverty alleviation.

　　The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China formulated a blueprint for the new era, proposing to build a network power, a digital China and a smart society, promote the deep integration of the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence and the real economy, develop the digital economy and share the economy, foster new growth points and form new kinetic energy.

　　With the rapid development of information technology, China is accelerating to become a network power.

Let ＂zero carbon＂ become a new trend and fashion

Zero-carbon parks, zero-carbon hosting meetings, zero-carbon weddings, and even zero-carbon drinks and sports shoes … In recent years, related words have frequently appeared in newspapers and websites, which deserves attention.

What is "zero carbon"? This can be seen from the home activities of the first National Eco-Day held by the "Zero Carbon" Expo. According to reports, "zero-carbon" hosting the conference refers to the implementation of carbon emission reduction measures, carbon emission budget, carbon emission intervention, carbon emission accounting and evaluation, carbon neutral evaluation, carbon neutral subject matter trading and offset, so as to ensure the carbon neutrality of the conference. In other words, while doing our best to hold the meeting in a low-carbon, green and waste-free manner, we will realize positive and negative offset by purchasing inclusive emission reduction and carbon sink emission reduction, and achieve relative "zero emission".

Since China clearly put forward the goal of "double carbon" in September 2020, the research on "zero carbon" has heated up rapidly, and the number of papers has risen sharply. However, there is no exact definition of "zero carbon" at present, because it involves many aspects, such as accounting scope, accounting emission types, reference index units, target year, whether to adopt compensation and offset measures, and so on. What is certain is that "zero carbon" does not mean that carbon dioxide is not emitted at all, and it is closer to the concepts of "low carbon" and "carbon neutrality" in real life and media reports.

Although there is no lack of controversy, behind the popularity of "zero carbon", there are conceptual changes and practical explorations, not "playing gimmicks" and "pushing concepts". According to industry insiders, there are four processes to achieve "zero carbon", accounting, emission reduction, offset and certification, and each link is actually not simple. Take the 3rd Digital China Construction Summit with available data as an example. While implementing a series of carbon emission reduction actions, the organizers calculated the new carbon dioxide emissions according to the number of activities, the number of participants, transportation, catering, accommodation and other conditions, and then realized the "zero emission" of the summit by purchasing carbon sink projects to reduce emissions. The idea of "zero-carbon" wedding, which has become popular among minority groups, is also the same. It can be seen that "zero-carbon" action has actually reduced carbon emissions, whether as a mode of production or a way of life, and it is worth becoming a popular trend.

In some specific scenarios, "zero carbon" can also be understood as zero use of fossil fuels. For example, the construction of "zero-carbon villages" and "zero-carbon post stations" in some areas is to realize the supply of "green electricity" by purchasing photovoltaic and wind power, or rooftop photovoltaic power generation and intelligent energy storage equipment. As a packaging method and concept, although its connotation and extension are slightly different, it can’t avoid the core expression of the concept of green, low-carbon and sustainable development.

Not long ago, the National Eco-environmental Protection Conference proposed that we should correctly handle the relationship between external constraints and endogenous motivation, and "inspire the endogenous motivation of the whole society to jointly care for the ecological environment". From the "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Completely, Accurately and Comprehensively Implementing the New Development Concept and Doing a Good Job of Carbon Neutralization in peak carbon dioxide emissions" to the release of the first batch of "Zero-carbon China" evaluation criteria, and the increasing diversity of "zero-carbon" public activities, "zero-carbon" is not only an initiative and a guide, but also has attracted more and more subjects to join in and take action.

From this point of view, the concept of "zero carbon" is not hidden, nor is it out of reach. In the process of publicity and promotion, we may as well open our minds to stimulate the public’s demand for carbon reduction, further stimulate everyone’s enthusiasm and initiative to practice a simple, moderate, green and low-carbon lifestyle, and make "zero carbon" a new trend and fashion.

Interest rate hike expectations swing back and forth？ UBS： The central bank will still raise interest rates on April, but then the pace will slow down.

The Japanese economy unexpectedly stalled in a technical recession in the fourth quarter of last year, and the market’s confidence in the Bank of Japan’s interest rate hike was shaken. The probability of raising interest rates before April once dropped rapidly from 73% to about 63%.

In a recent report, UBS economists Go Kurihara and Masamichi Adachi pointed out that the current economic weakness in Japan may be seen by the outside world as a driving force preventing the Bank of Japan from opening the normalization of monetary policy, butAs long as the Bank of Japan can effectively prove that consumer spending will start to increase, they have reason to adjust monetary policy.Therefore, April is the window for the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates by 10 basis points, when the benchmark interest rate will be raised to 0.

UBS believes that CPI will slow down until the end of 2024, which will reduce the impact on real wages. The real wages of Japanese residents are expected to accelerate in 2024, which will promote consumer spending and economic growth.

Considering Japan’s economic trend in 2024 and the future, UBS changed its policy path expectations for the Bank of Japan after April.It is expected that the Bank of Japan will not further adjust interest rates this year after April.(Previously, it was expected to raise interest rates by 25 basis points again in July to raise interest rates to 0.25%).There will be three interest rate hikes of 25 basis points in 2025, and the policy interest rate will reach 0.75% by the end of 2025.

UBS believes that if the US economy is not in recession, it is still possible for the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates by 25 basis points in October this year, so that the policy interest rate will reach 0.25% by the end of 2024.

The latest data released today shows thatAlthough Japan’s inflation in January was stronger than expected, the slowing trend did not change. In January, the overall CPI rose by 2.2% year-on-year, which continued to slow down from the previous value of 2.6%. In January, the year-on-year increase of core CPI (except fresh food) slowed down from 2.3% in the previous month to 2%, and the core CPI in the core (except fresh food and energy) rose by 3.5% year-on-year, which was lower than the previous value of 3.7%.

On February 15, local time, the Cabinet Office of Japan announced preliminary statistics showing that in 2023, Japan’s real GDP increased by 1.9% year-on-year, and its nominal GDP increased by 5.7%, which was about 4.2 trillion US dollars. The nominal GDP in US dollars was surpassed by German GDP.Japan fell from the third largest economy to the fourth largest economy.

On a quarterly basis, Japan’s GDP growth rate contracted by 0.4% in the fourth quarter of 2023 after contracting by 3.3% in the third quarter of 2023.Unexpectedly fell into a technical recession.

UBS pointed out that the weak consumption of Japanese residents has become an important reason for the technical recession, and it has always been a long-term concern of the government. In the fourth quarter, the consumption season of Japanese residents contracted by 0.9% year-on-year, which dragged down GDP by 0.5 percentage points, and it shrank for the third consecutive quarter. There are three factors: 1. The real wage income of residents continued to decline, 2. Enterprises did not increase capital expenditure as scheduled, and 3. Government public expenditure increased:

1. From the perspective of wage growth, Japan’s wage growth still failed to catch up with the price increase. In the fourth quarter, Japan’s real wages fell by 1.9% year-on-year, which led to a decline in actual expenditure.

It is worth mentioning that the weak actual consumption also reflects the problem of Japan’s population decline. At present, Japan’s population is decreasing by 0.5% every year. In 2023, the consumption of inbound tourists became a major pillar of the economy, but compared with the consumption of Japanese nationals, the consumption of tourists only accounted for 1.5%.

2. Although the business survey shows that enterprises plan to increase capital expenditure (that is, enterprises plan to invest in new equipment, technology or buildings to expand or enhance their productivity), in fact, they have not seen the recovery of capital expenditure in the past year, which on the one hand reflects the difference between name and reality, and on the other hand, it may be because of supply constraints that equipment installation and building structure are delayed.

In addition, supply constraints are also one of the reasons for the stagnant capital expenditure of Japanese enterprises.

Another reason for the weakening of consumption is that the annual growth rate of government expenditure has unexpectedly dropped to -0.9%.In terms of sub-items, the growth of government consumption (-0.5%) and public sector investment (-2.8%) are lower than GDP, which shows that fiscal policy is in a marginal tightening state in the fourth quarter.

UBS predicts that Japan’s real GDP growth in 2024 will be 0.1% lower than that in 2023, falling to 1.0%.The driving force of economic growth has shifted from external demand (including the consumption of inbound tourists) to domestic demand. With the acceleration of wage growth and the slowdown of CPI, the real wages of Japanese residents will increase.：

On the one hand, the decline in household consumption has narrowed month-on-month, and imported inflation such as energy has dropped, which will alleviate the impact on real wages; At the same time, Japan’s labor shortage is becoming more and more serious. The strategy of increasing labor supply by increasing the labor participation rate of women and the elderly has reached a bottleneck, and the government is also calling on employers to raise wages, which increases the possibility of wage increase in Japan, and a virtuous circle of wages and prices is expected to be established.

UBS believes that by the end of 2024, the deflation of core CPI will stop, and the prices of other goods and services except food and energy will no longer continue to fall, mainly because inflation expectations are rising and there is no downward pressure on output:

According to our latest forecast, by the end of 2024 and 2025, Japan’s core CPI will be 1.6% and 1.7% respectively.It is 0.1 percentage points lower than the previous forecast..

We predict that wage growth in Japan will accelerate significantly in 2024. However, the slowdown in CPI in 2024 and the decline in corporate profits will not continue until 2025. We believe that the wage growth rate will slow down in 2025.

Due to the increase in real wages, we expect that the real disposable income of Japanese residents will also increase. At the same time, in June this year, a one-time tax reduction and cash payment will promote actual consumption.

According to the latest data, although Japan’s CPI in January was higher than expected, the slowdown trend did not change. In January, the overall CPI rose by 2.2% year-on-year, which continued to slow down from the previous value of 2.6%. In January, the core CPI (except fresh food and energy) in the core rose by 3.5% year-on-year, which was 3.7% lower than the previous value.

UBS said that their forecasts for Japan’s GDP and CPI were set in the second and third quarters of this year when the GDP of the United States shrank and there was a technical recession. If there is no recession in the United States, under such a narrative, Japan’s inflation level will be higher than that of the long-term depreciation of the yen.

Considering the above factors, UBS concluded that if the external environment is stable, that is, there is no serious recession in the United States, Japan’s inflation expectations will rise, which means that the Bank of Japan has reason to start a normalized monetary policy.

Therefore, UBS believes that the Bank of Japan will still adjust the benchmark interest rate to 0 after April 2024, but it will not raise interest rates for the rest of this year (it was expected to raise interest rates by 25 basis points in July), but it still judges that the Bank of Japan will raise interest rates three times in 2025, each time by 25 basis points.

To strictly manage the party in an all-round way, we must first respect party constitution

　　Call on the whole party to learn from party constitution, abide by party constitution, implement party constitution and safeguard party constitution, and convey firm confidence to the whole party and the whole country. Our party is making constant efforts to make itself healthier and welcome the arrival of "two hundred years".

　　Text/"Outlook" Newsweek reporter Han Bing

　　Do you know when Constitution of the Communist Party of China was born? Do you know what changes and evolutions party constitution has undergone in the course of nearly 95 years since the founding of the Party? As a qualified Communist party member of China, how can we deepen our understanding of the Party’s program and purpose, and what obligations and rights should we keep in mind? … … With the comprehensive promotion of "two studies and one doing" study and education, it has become a compulsory course for every Communist party member to read party constitution and learn party constitution sentence by sentence.

　　"party constitution is the fundamental law of the party and the general rule that the whole party must follow." Ye Duchu, a senior party building expert who has been engaged in party constitution research for a long time and a professor at the Party School of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, told Outlook Newsweek that party constitution is both a regulation and a textbook: in the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s practice, party constitution is a synthesis of the party’s basic program and activity standards, which constitutes the party’s supreme law; For every communist party member, party constitution is a vivid textbook that condenses the basic knowledge of the Party and the standards of the Communist party member.

　　Party constitution, in this small red manual, we can see that the current party constitution was partially revised by The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and passed on November 14th, 2012. It is divided into general program and eleven chapters, with 53 articles and more than 17,000 words. It is not long, but it has a heavy weight.

　　"From the date of promulgation and implementation, a party constitution has written the overall history of party constitution and even the party and passed it on to future generations and the next generation in the form of collective memory." Ye Duchu said that party constitution is a torch that shines a party forward, and it has always been a milestone.

　　In the 90-odd years’ practice of the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s founding, the party’s system construction has always been closely integrated with the party’s development. Party constitution has a long history, from the birth of party constitution, the second largest part of the Party, to the 12th National Congress of the Party, which opened a new era of party constitution and inner-party regulations. Since the 12th National Congress of party constitution, it has been revised six times to achieve the 18th National Congress of party constitution. In party constitution, the nature and purpose of the Party, the Party’s theory, line, principles and policies, and the Party’s important propositions are condensed, which stipulate the Party’s important systems and institutional mechanisms, and even contain the fundamental code of conduct that the whole Party must abide by.

　　"Now there are only less than five years to achieve the first century goal. At this decisive moment, it is of extraordinary significance to call on all party member to study and practice party constitution." Ye Yuchu said.

　　According to many interviewed experts, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has owned more than 87 million party member since its founding nearly 95 years ago and it has been in power for more than 60 years. Every party member’s ideology, organizational discipline and code of conduct may affect the party’s ruling power and vitality. When the development of China has entered a critical stage, it is especially necessary for all party member to further strengthen their ideals and beliefs, improve their awareness of party spirit, and further enhance their awareness of politics, overall situation, core and conformity. Learning party constitution well, establishing a firm sense of party constitution and establishing party constitution’s authority are just an important part of strengthening the "Four Consciousnesses".

　　"If every party member can really learn party constitution and make good use of party constitution, he can not only purify and strengthen himself, but also purify and strengthen our whole party and society." Ye Duchu said that the practical action of turning party constitution into millions of party member will generate inexhaustible power, while internalizing party constitution in the heart and externalizing it in action requires a process of continuous efforts.

　　"Establish" the authority of party constitution.

　　It is inconceivable for a party that has been in power for a long time in a big country like China without a fine tradition and a set of effective institutional measures. Governing the country and rejuvenating the party is a long-term road, and a party constitution with complete theory, substantial content, strict discipline, democracy and order and corresponding specific laws and regulations are indispensable.

　　It is our party’s consistent historical tradition that the Central Committee emphasizes respecting party constitution and learning from party constitution. "party constitution not only condenses the fruits of advancing with the times obtained by the party in practical exploration, but also serves as a guide for our party to move towards a century." Ye Yuchu said.

　　On November 16th, 2012, it was the second day after the Supreme Leader was elected as the new General Secretary, and the third day after the party constitution Amendment was adopted at the 18th National Congress. On this day, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader published a signed article entitled "Seriously study party constitution and strictly abide by party constitution". This concise text of about 2,500 words is far-reaching and concise. It is not only a mobilization and call for all party comrades, but also a solemn statement of "starting from me" as a leader and a solemn declaration of abiding by his duties.

　　In this article, the Supreme Leader proposed that leading cadres in party member should be models to learn from party constitution and abide by party constitution. Leading cadres at all levels should take learning party constitution as a compulsory course, and comrades who take up new leadership positions should take learning party constitution as the first lesson and take the lead in observing the provisions of party constitution. Ye Duchu said, "‘ Compulsory course ’ 、‘ The first lesson ’ The formulation is meaningful, highly realistic and highly targeted. "

　　Since then, on several important occasions, the central high-level officials have repeatedly emphasized the importance of firmly establishing party constitution consciousness. On October 12th, 2015, Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party pointed out that in order to strictly manage the Party in an all-round way, we must first respect party constitution and "establish the authority of party constitution".

　　"It is the consistent tradition of our party to establish the authority of party constitution." Huang Yibing, deputy director of the Third Research Department of the Party History Research Office of the Central Committee, told Outlook Newsweek that as early as the early days of the founding of the Party, our Party had carried out conscious and in-depth education on the concept of party constitution, so that Communist party member would never forget his surname "Party" at all times and remember that he was a member of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and was infinitely loyal to the Party and the people. "It is these powerful educations that have given the Communist Party of China (CPC) strong cohesion and mobilization."

　　Party constitution’s authority is established because party constitution embodies the important achievements of the Party’s practical innovation, theoretical innovation and institutional innovation.

　　"party constitution set up the theoretical banner of our party, which is the only carrier to raise the latest achievements of Marxism in China to the guiding ideology of the party; Party constitution is the fundamental law of the party, the general constitution and rules of the party, and the fundamental code of conduct that the whole party must abide by; Party constitution is the basic standard of party member’s party spirit training and cultivation; Party constitution is the fundamental basis for strictly administering the party in an all-round way. " Huang Yibing said: party constitution plays an important guiding role in advancing the cause of the Party and strengthening Party building. party constitution is an important symbol to measure the continuous maturity of our Party, and it is also the fundamental guarantee for our Party to maintain its youthful vitality and remain invincible forever.

　　Judging from the current development of China, whether the goal of "two hundred years" can be achieved is related to the future of the ruling party and the well-being of 1.3 billion people. The construction of laws and regulations within the party based on party constitution will play an important role in promoting the party’s task of reform and development in the new era. From a long-term perspective, no matter whether the Party manages inner-party affairs or manages the country, it cannot deviate from party constitution’s guidance.

　　At the same time, as a big party that has been in power for a long time, facing more than 87 million party member and more than 4.3 million grass-roots party organizations, it is even more necessary to set up party constitution and put the party’s system and discipline ahead. Ye Duchu said that emphasizing "respect for party constitution" has a strong realistic pertinence to adapt to the current situation of the party member team and the new situation of comprehensively and strictly administering the party.

　　Ye Duchu analyzed that our party has never been so big and its composition is relatively complicated as it is now. For example, there are great differences in the internal economic situation, political experience, cultural background, living conditions and lifestyle of party member teams in a place or industry; At the same time, today, our party member team has a lot of talents and heroes, the overall quality is constantly improving, and their thoughts are extremely active, which is quite modern. "The change of party member’s team needs to strengthen the party’s centripetal force and cohesion by establishing party constitution’s authority, so as to ensure that the whole party is United and orderly."

　　Looking back on the international and historical lessons, Ye Duchu reminded that whether party constitution’s authority can stand is a big problem, which is directly related to whether the party’s theory, program, line and policies can be applied to practice, to the party’s combat effectiveness and cohesion, and even to the party’s development and survival.

　　Ye Duchu recalled that before the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, under the background of long-term ruling, party constitution’s authority gradually lost, and the cadres of the CPSU party member began to become numb to the bad phenomena in the party, unable to distinguish between right and wrong, and the party gradually lost its binding force and appeal to party member, and finally lost its ruling position. "This lesson is very profound."

　　"Many things, especially those related to the future and destiny of the party and the right and wrong within the party, we can find the basis and standards from party constitution." Ye Duchu said that party constitution’s authority should be "established" and "reliable", so as to "establish prestige, virtue, rules and trust" and enhance all party member’s sense of identity, belonging and law-abiding towards party constitution.

　　Learn to grasp that rich connotation of party constitution.

　　"A party constitution and its effective implementation bear a great mission. It is a banner and a command. It will guide and standardize the actions of more than 80 million party member and will play a role in uniting hundreds of millions of people with one heart and one mind." Ye Duchu said: party constitution has the nature of the highest law after it was passed by the Party’s National Congress, and it must be universally studied and strictly implemented by the whole Party.

　　As the general constitution of the Party, party constitution is extremely rich in content and connotation. As a party member, how to learn from party constitution? What should we focus on?

　　Ye Duchu believes that learning from party constitution should not only grasp the new contents and requirements in party constitution, but also review the contents and regulations in party constitution that have never changed as before.

　　To learn from party constitution, we should not only grasp the recent summary of China’s new practical achievements, theoretical achievements and institutional achievements in its development, but also grasp the basic principles that play a long-term guiding role in the development of the Party.

　　Ye Duchu introduced, for example, the key words in party constitution’s general program about the four basic requirements of party building: adhering to the party’s basic line, emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts, serving the people wholeheartedly, and adhering to democratic centralism, which have not changed since the 14th Party Congress.

　　"party constitution’s core content has universal validity. Apart from different historical conditions and discourse environments, we can clearly see: the establishment of party member’s dominant position, the implementation of the collective decision-making system, the recognition of the overall synergy of the organization, and the equality of everyone in party member before discipline, without any exceptions and specialities." Ye Duchu said that the content written in party constitution is scientific, legitimate and necessary. In learning, we should grasp the dialectical relationship of keeping pace with the times and as always, and give greater play to the tension of party constitution.

　　“纲举目张，学习党章首先要抓住党章总纲。”多位受访专家都认为，总纲中涵盖了党的性质和宗旨、党的理论和路线方针政策、党的重要主张、党的长远目标、当前目标，党对党员和党组织的基本要求等重要内容。

　　学习总纲，首先围绕党的性质、宗旨来学。

　　翻开党章，总纲开篇指出：中国共产党是中国工人阶级的先锋队，同时是中国人民和中华民族的先锋队。总纲还表明，中国共产党坚持全心全意为人民服务。

　　“总纲中关于党的性质和宗旨的规定，集中反映了中国共产党为了谁、依靠谁的政治立场。”黄一兵说，学习党章这部分内容，就能够进一步深刻认识和理解密切联系群众是我们党的最大政治优势，脱离群众是我们党执政后的最大危险。

　　学习总纲，要抓住党的理论和路线方针政策。

　　黄一兵说，总纲深刻阐述了我们党的理论和路线方针政策，公开回答了我们党举什么旗、走什么路、以什么样的精神状态、朝着什么样的目标继续前进的重大问题。“坚持和发展中国特色社会主义是贯穿于党的理论、路线、方针、政策中的一条主线，也是贯穿于十八大党章总纲中的一条主线，是我们学习党章的聚焦点、着力点和落脚点。”

　　“十八大党章具有宏阔、精深、鲜明、富有远见卓识等特点，是中国共产党迈步百年实现全面建成小康社会目标的具有决定性意义的伟大里程碑。”叶笃初说，十八大党章将中国特色社会主义之大成，从理论、道路到制度等等，以党内最高法的形式完整牢实地固定下来。

　　例如，在十八大党章中，加进了“确立中国特色社会主义制度”一语，由此就把全党历经艰辛、倍加珍惜而长期坚持和不断开创发展的这条道路、这个理论体系、这个制度形成整体贯通起来。这正是我们党的道路自信、理论自信和制度自信。

　　“党章总纲中关于道路、理论、制度等点睛之笔，彰显了当代共产党人的自信，将之写入党内根本大法，可谓国之重器，不只是对我们现在，而且对党和国家的将来、对后代子孙，都有很重要的意义。”叶笃初说。

　　学习总纲，应该把握住党的重要主张和时代使命。

　　黄一兵说，总纲清晰标识了我们党的重要主张，全面展示了我们党治国理政的方略和党的建设的新要求。“十八大党章总纲阐述了建设中国特色社会主义的总依据、总布局、总任务，也阐述了夺取中国特色社会主义新胜利的基本要求等。”

　　Party constitution is the highest law in the Party, and it is also the behavior guidance of every party member, and it is the fundamental standard to measure whether party member is qualified.

　　"Whether a party member is qualified or not depends first on his attitude towards party constitution, whether his words and deeds really conform to party constitution’s regulations and whether he can fully fulfill party member’s obligations. This is the fundamental standard for a qualified party member." Ye Yuchu said.

　　Therefore, to learn from party constitution, we must firmly grasp the provisions on the obligations and rights of Party members in party constitution.

　　For example, party constitution’s article 3, "party member must fulfill the following obligations", contains eight aspects, which provide important guidance for how to be a qualified party member.

　　"The contents of these eight aspects are not only the basic obligations that every Communist party member must always undertake under the new historical conditions, but also the basic follow-up to become a qualified Communist party member and the yardstick for the action of contemporary Chinese Communist party member." Huang Yibing said: in contrast to party constitution’s request and focusing on the new development of the cause of the party and the state, the criteria for qualified party member can be further refined and summarized as follows: strengthening ideals and beliefs, firmly and consciously maintaining a high degree of ideological and political action with the CPC Central Committee with the supreme leader as the general secretary; Practice the Party’s purpose, maintain the feelings of public servants, keep in mind that Communist party member will always be an ordinary member of the working people, keep close contact with the masses, and serve the people wholeheartedly; Strengthen party spirit training and moral cultivation, be awed, hold a ruler, be honest in politics, strictly manage the family, and build a defense line against corruption and change; Always keep the spirit of pioneering and enterprising.

　　In different historical periods, party constitution’s demands on party member and party member’s rights and obligations are not static, but constantly improved with the changes of the times. "One of the principles formulated by party constitution is that most people can write what they can, and don’t write what they can’t. Being broad outside the party and strict within the party have been written into the requirements of party constitution, which is the direction of party member cadres’ efforts and the benchmark and scale. " Ye Yuchu said that the provisions on party member’s rights and obligations in the party constitution of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China are very specific, and every party member can compare them. "What is written in party constitution is achievable. If it is done, it is qualified party member. If it is done well, it is excellent party member."

　　Ye Duchu believes that party constitution should pay special attention to learning the requirements of democratic centralism in the provisions on the party’s organizational principles and discipline requirements.

　　Democratic centralism is the party’s fundamental organizational principle and the application of the mass line in the party’s life. Historically, our party was established in accordance with the principle of democratic centralism, which has been continuously enriched and developed in the long-term practice of revolution, construction and reform. The history of the party has repeatedly proved that when democratic centralism is well adhered to, the party will be clean and vigorous, and its cause will flourish; Whenever democratic centralism is destroyed, contradictions and problems within the party will breed and spread, the party’s atmosphere will be damaged, and the party’s cause will encounter setbacks.

　　"Since the reform and opening up, according to the actual needs and practical experience, the provisions and exposition of democratic centralism in party constitution have also been improved. Facts have proved that the democratic centralism stipulated by party constitution can stand the test of history and can be done well." Ye Yuchu said.

　　Release the positive energy of party constitution

　　Party constitution’s vitality lies in action. According to the experts interviewed, party constitution is by no means a lofty decoration, but must be followed by every party organization at all levels and every party member.

　　Observing the problems and lessons in history and reality, we can see that individual party member is weak in party spirit, weak in party constitution’s concept, inconsistent in words and deeds, and inconsistent in appearance. He regards party constitution as having nothing, those who violate the rules and regulations, and those who openly slander and trample on party constitution.

　　"This kind of behavior is absolutely intolerable to the party. We feel sorry and even scorn for party member who does not act according to party constitution and violates the law. The negative case is a contrast and vigilance for all party member, which can shock and educate many people." Ye Duchu said, adhering to the correct principle or the wrong principle, consciously implementing party constitution or disobeying others and even trampling on party constitution, are compulsory questions for every party member.

　　How can party constitution’s positive energy be revealed and brought into play?

　　According to the analysis of the interviewed experts, it depends not only on the extension and application of party constitution in real life, but also on the conscious actions of party member and the active supervision of the masses.

　　There are two ways to release the positive energy of party constitution:

　　On the one hand, the role of party constitution can not be played without the simultaneous improvement and implementation of specific laws and regulations, including individual laws and regulations or departmental laws and regulations, as well as a series of measures such as implementation rules.

　　For example, the newly revised Code of Integrity and Self-discipline in the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Regulations on Disciplinary Actions in the Communist Party of China (CPC) are based on party constitution, which is the concretization of the provisions in party constitution. Only when the guidelines focus on moral integrity, the regulations focus on establishing rules, and the inner-party regulations work together can we establish noble moral sentiments, strictly observe the party’s discipline and "establish" the authority of party constitution.

　　On the other hand, the release of party constitution’s positive energy cannot be separated from the actual actions of every party member.

　　"One action is more important than a dozen programs." Huang Yibing said that learning from party constitution should be combined with practicing party constitution, learning should be combined with changing work style, promoting work and promoting development, and solving practical problems should be regarded as an important criterion to test the effectiveness of learning.

　　"We should closely contact our own ideological reality, work reality and the reality of reform, development and stability, conduct targeted studies, thoroughly study measures and methods to solve problems and improve work, and make great efforts to implement them, so that party constitution’s demands will become the conscious action of the vast number of party member." Huang Yibing said.

　　"To learn from party constitution, we should also combine it with reducing and breaking our outdated and backward concepts, and combine it with analyzing and criticizing negative cases, so that the pros and cons complement each other, break first and then stand, and break and stand. This is the dialectics of learning and applying party constitution." Ye Duchu said, to learn from party constitution, we should combine subjectivity with objectivity, combine knowledge with practice, and use criticism and self-criticism to put an end to the problems of "learning belongs to learning, using belongs to using", "saying one thing and doing another", and our attitude towards party constitution should be consistent with words and deeds, so as to enhance purity and firmness.

　　"At the same time, we can’t simply regard party constitution’s party rules as being imposed on ourselves by some external force ‘ Frame ’ Party constitution should not be regarded as a bondage. " Ye Duchu said that party constitution embodies the overall interests, will and demands of communist party people, and it gives every party member vitality, a weapon, and a vast world for exerting its intelligence.

　　"To make a metaphor, party constitution is like a mirror, through which every party member can see his own ideological and operational defects and learn from them.

　　Practice party constitution to correct it, which requires every party member to take the initiative. Ye Duchu said that he called on the whole party to learn party constitution’s party rules, learn a series of speeches, and be a qualified party member, sending a clear signal to the whole party and the people of the whole country that our party is constantly making efforts to make itself healthier and welcome the arrival of two hundred years. "We must have firm confidence in this." □

The triangular debt of Pakistan’s power sector exceeded 800 billion, and the government decided to postpone repayment.

　　Pakistan’s "Forum Express" reported on July 26 that the history of circulating debt in Pakistan’s power industry exceeded 800 billion rupees for the first time, and Pakistan’s Economic Coordination Committee agreed on Tuesday to postpone the payment of bank loans of 193 billion rupees for 2-3 years.

　　The report pointed out that the 800 billion rupee revolving debt includes the 425 billion rupee debt of Pakistan Power Company and other 375 billion rupees debt. Pakistan has promised to the International Monetary Fund that it will solve the debt problem of Pakistan Power Company through privatization of transmission and distribution companies, but so far it has failed to fulfill its promise.

　　The report commented that the government’s failure to solve the problem of debt due shows that the financial environment of the power industry is deteriorating. According to the documents of the Ministry of Water and Electricity, from July to December, 2016, the income of Pakistani power industry companies dropped significantly.

The situation on the Russian-Ukrainian border is explosive, and Peruvian wizards ＂cast spells＂ to ease the conflict with supernatural power.

In some countries in South America where there are many aborigines, because modern technology is not developed or popularized enough, they believe in "solving all the troubles in the world with supernatural power", including disputes and conflicts. On the eve of the New Year in 2022, the most interesting potential conflict hot spot in the world is the Russian-Ukrainian border, and it is explosive. To this end, the shaman wizard in Peru recently held a traditional year-end ceremony. In addition to predicting 2022, heHe also "cast spells" on the photos of the US and Russian presidents, hoping to ease the tension between the two sides and reduce the probability of conflict with supernatural power.

According to the Global Times reported on December 31st, before the arrival of the New Year in 2022, Peruvian shamans tried to "purify" the negative influence in international relations through a ceremony. They poured the concocted mixture on the photos of the two presidents of the United States and Russia, drew a circle with the number 2022 on it with seeds and petals, and then pointed "sacrifices" such as coca leaves at the circle in order to seek "supernatural power" to ease the tension on the Ukrainian border. It is said that shaman wizards have successfully predicted Biden’s victory in 2020 and Castillo’s election as President of Peru.

For 2022, shaman wizards predict that the COVID-19 epidemic may eventually subside, and this year will mark the end of many conflicts. I have to say that this prediction of shaman wizard can also be said to be a good wish and a common wish of mankind all over the world. Regarding the COVID-19 epidemic, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization, also thinks so, that is, "the COVID-19 epidemic will subside in this year", even though it is now in a stage of madness in Omicron.

In recent days, because of Omicron, the number of confirmed cases in the United States is increasing day by day, and it is already very scary to diagnose 410,000 cases in a single day. I didn’t expect the United States to dare to do anything. Only one day later, the number of confirmed cases in a single day reached 610,000. Today, the number of deaths due to the epidemic has exceeded 820,000 in the United States and nearly 620,000 in Brazil. What people did not expect was that the number of deaths due to the epidemic in Russia quietly rose to the second place in the world, reaching an astonishing 650,000. India has even been pointed out by the American media as "concealing data", which may reach a horrible 6 million.

Perhaps, for the COVID-19 epidemic, Omicron is its last madness; But for the situation in Russia and Ukraine, I am afraid it is not so simple for the United States and Russia to want to usher in peace.

Just yesterday, US President Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin had the second conversation in a month. The most talked about was of course the extremely anxious situation in Russia and Ukraine. Regrettably, the two presidents failed to achieve a breakthrough in dialogue except "warning each other", and such a result may really push the situation in Russia and Ukraine to the abyss soon after the arrival of the new year.

The main reason for the stalemate at present is that, on the one hand, NATO has abandoned its previous commitments and insisted on "eastward expansion". In fact, many Eastern European countries, such as Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, etc., which used to be members of the Warsaw Pact, have changed from former Warsaw Pact countries to today’s NATO countries under the decision of NATO’s eastward expansion, and there is almost no "wall" between Russia and NATO. On the other hand, for the sake of its national security, Russia insists on NATO’s written commitment to "no more eastward expansion", because if NATO deploys missiles to Ukraine, it will only take four or five minutes to fly to Moscow, which is an intolerable "red line" for Russia.

At present, Russia has deployed more than 100,000 troops to the border, and Ukraine has become the "big head" for the United States to fight proxy war, while NATO countries are "helpers". In the case of one enemy against many, Russia has said that it will not rule out the use of nuclear weapons. Although Biden repeatedly stressed "don’t fight nuclear war" in his dialogue with Putin, the United States has bullied other people’s homes, so why bother to make such a request?

In this world, there are many things that we can’t predict, and they are difficult to explain by science, such as the magic of Peruvian wizards. In the local area, wizards are considered to be able to communicate with the future with their souls. They believe that they can cure various diseases and prevent various conflicts with the power of the earth. Then, this time, we hope that the wizard shaman can "cast spells" to make the situation in Russia and Ukraine cool down as soon as possible, and don’t let blood red become the first background in 2022.
