Li Keqiang’s visit to this hospital is a great signal!

  "Cancer is related to thousands of people in Qian Qian, and it is a major pain point for people’s livelihood. I’m here to find out on the spot what ‘ Get stuck in the neck ’ Factors? What policy support does the government need to overcome cancer? " On December 12th, Premier Li Keqiang had a "standing talk" with more than 20 oncologists in wuhan union hospital.

  At an executive meeting in the State Council two months ago, the Prime Minister made a clear request to concentrate superior scientific research forces to carry out special key research on the treatment of difficult and high-incidence cancer. On the morning of December 12th, Li Keqiang came to wuhan union hospital to visit children with leukemia, and had in-depth exchanges with oncologists to overcome cancer and other issues.

  Nothing can be short of "treatment", and nothing can be short of "life-saving medicine"

  "Can domestic medicine be bought now? How much is each bottle? " Walking into the ward of the Children’s Hematological Diagnosis and Treatment Center, Li Keqiang asked the families of children with leukemia.

  Earlier, the Prime Minister gave instructions in response to media reports that "children with leukemia suffered from a shortage of cheap domestic drugs and a bottle of imported drugs exceeded 1,000 yuan", and asked relevant departments to "take care of each other and handle special matters, effectively increase the production and supply of domestic cheap drugs, and effectively solve the problem of ‘ The pain of medication ’ " . During this visit to children with leukemia, he especially learned about this situation from their parents.

  "Medicine can be bought, and the price is no problem!" The father of a child told the Prime Minister.

  "Nothing can be short ‘ Treatment ’ You can’t lack anything ‘ Life-saving medicine ’ !” The Prime Minister said, "Please rest assured that these drugs will be fully guaranteed by the state, not only for short-term emergency, but also for long-term supply. We must never stop taking drugs!"

  Li Keqiang also inquired about the shortage of other "orphan drugs" from medical staff in detail, and told the heads of health departments to "make a list", improve policies and mechanisms, and effectively ensure the long-term and stable supply of urgent needs such as "orphan drugs".

  In the "Pediatric Hematology Ward Love School", the Prime Minister specially brought a gift to each of several children with leukemia who were drawing: a magnetic jigsaw puzzle of the world map. "I hope you will treat it well and measure the world with your feet when you grow up." The Prime Minister said.

  "That’s great! My wish is to be a gourmet and travel all over the world! " A child took the gift and said happily.

  Another 7-year-old boy offered to take a photo with the Prime Minister’s grandfather. After the Prime Minister readily agreed, the little boy added, "Can I have two photos?"

  "Must give, one person two! If you can’t get it, write to grandpa. " The Prime Minister immediately promised, "I want to ask, why do you want two?"

  "I can’t tell you, it’s a secret!" The little boy’s answer made everyone present laugh.

  What policies the health sector needs, the state must fully support it.

  After leaving this loving school, Li Keqiang went to the doctor’s office and inquired about the latest research and clinical progress in overcoming cancer. The two experts introduced their respective methods of vesicular therapy and CAR-T cell therapy for tumors. Li Keqiang said, "I feel very happy and gratified! Some developed countries proposed to overcome the pathogenesis of cancer decades ago, and now our country’s research and treatment technology to overcome cancer has also reached a new level. "

  "What else is there to conquer cancer ‘ Get stuck in the neck ’ Factors that need national key support? " Li Keqiang asked. An expert said that the current problems are: first, insufficient clinical funds; second, imperfect quality control standards for cell therapy; third, slow drug approval and long transformation time.

  "The issue of drug approval should be accelerated, but it is necessary to ensure the absolute safety of drugs!" The Prime Minister said.

  He asked the person in charge of the accompanying health department to fully listen to the opinions of doctors and patients and come up with a targeted report as soon as possible: "Let’s work together to strive for an important step in the pathological research and treatment of cancer at an early date and save more lives. What policies the health department needs, the state must fully support it! "

  "You said before that we have been in ‘ Heaven ’ 、‘ Going to sea ’ We have made good progress in major scientific research projects, and we will strive to overcome medical life problems that affect people’s health in the future. This is very encouraging! " An oncologist said to the Prime Minister.

  "Cancer is a major pain in people’s livelihood." Li Keqiang said, "Life science, including cancer, is as important as cosmic science and marine science. You are studying and exploring at the forefront of life medicine, which is related to the health of thousands of people in Qian Qian and has a great responsibility! "

  Before leaving, Li Keqiang once again asked the experts what policy suggestions they had. A leukemia expert asked whether the current leukemia medical insurance policy for poor children in rural areas can benefit all leukemia children in view of the good treatment effect of childhood leukemia.

  The Prime Minister immediately asked the person in charge of the health department to "pay close attention to research". He said that at present, China has achieved full coverage of major illness insurance, so that more patients can reduce their burdens. Cancer is an important part of major diseases. It is necessary to gather superior scientific research forces to focus on tackling cancer difficulties and let more patients and their families get out of the shadow of the disease as soon as possible!

Just look at the domestic ones! The most beautiful 7 2.1 speakers in history

    Bubble net Audio Channel on June 6th. From the birth of the first innovative 2.1 speaker PCWorks 2.1 to now, the multimedia speaker industry in China has developed for more than ten years. It can be said that while people are demanding more and more sound, they are also very picky about the appearance of products. Wood veneer, piano paint, wire drawing and other technologies are integrated into the products, resulting in a variety of design styles.


    Note: The "domestic" mentioned by the author in the title refers to the domestic multimedia speaker market, not domestic brands, and does not include high-end audio.



Innovating the first 2.1 speaker PCWorks 2.1


◎ Tips


    PCWorks was originally a subsidiary of Creative in the United States, a sub-brand of multimedia speakers of CambrIDE SoundWorks, a famous Hi-Fi factory. PCWorks speakers were designed by the Emmy Award winner, a world audio authority, and entered the China market in 1997. At that time, PCWorks 2.1 was the first to introduce the concept of X.1 speakers, and the application of independent subwoofers greatly improved the sound quality of speakers.

Is the "flow code" coconut water in the beverage industry really unsafe?

  With the coming of summer, drinks to cool down and relieve summer heat have once again become people’s first choice. Natural coconut water is the "flow code" in the beverage industry in recent years. Not only do it often sell out of stock, but coffee, milk tea and other drinks made with coconut water often occupy the list of young people’s must-order. However, recently, some netizens discussed it hotly, because they bought coconuts that were opened in advance and drank coconut water inside, which caused discomfort. As a result, topics such as "Can you drink coconut water" and "Who is not suitable for drinking coconut water" have boarded the hot search.

  Today, let’s take a look at the safety of coconut water, how to drink it is the healthiest, and who is the most suitable?

  Drinking coconut water leads to vomiting, diarrhea and high fever?

  The so-called coconut water is the clear liquid poured out from the coconut after it is cut open, which has a very light sweet taste and a unique natural flavor. Coconut water contains no fat, and the fat is all in the white coconut meat.

  The reason why coconut water was on the hot search this time was because it brought some trouble. Netizens said that they bought a coconut with a pre-opened mouth and drank a few mouthfuls of coconut water, only to find that the coconut water was a little turbid. Then he felt dizzy and dizzy, and then he felt sick and vomited. After getting better, I didn’t go to the hospital for treatment, but I had a high fever the next day.

  In fact, this high probability is caused by pathogenic bacteria or bacterial toxins in coconut water.

  Originally, the coconut shell was tightly sealed to protect the coconut meat and coconut water inside and avoid the entry of external microorganisms. However, after opening, the coconut loses its sealability and will come into contact with the bacteria in the air and the bacteria on the opening tool.

  Why is coconut after opening suitable for rapid propagation of microorganisms and bacteria?

  Coconut water contains sugar, vitamins and minerals, which is suitable for rapid propagation of microorganisms. At the same time, coconut water, a "small fresh" fruit juice, has low acidity, and sugar and nutrients are directly dissolved in water instead of hidden in fruit cells, so its resistance to bacterial proliferation is too weak. It is weaker than orange juice, apple juice, tomato juice and other juices with certain acidity and polyphenols, so it is especially necessary to be careful.

  If coconuts are stored at room temperature for a long time after opening, bacteria will multiply in large numbers, which may lead to bacterial food poisoning. Netizens found that the coconut water, which should have been clear, was a little turbid, which was the visual result caused by bacterial reproduction. This is exactly the same reason that egg soup, rice soup and noodle soup will go bad at room temperature.

  Bacterial food poisoning may cause nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea, physical weakness, dizziness and headache, and even chills and fever.

  Because the body is weak after food poisoning, other harmful microorganisms may take advantage of it, and there may be inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract and gums, or, as netizens have said, tonsils are in trouble again.

  Deteriorated coconut water will produce mycotoxins?

  Some people on the Internet say that the spoiled coconut water may produce Pseudomonas cocoanum, which will produce highly toxic mycotoxins. Because this case did not do microbial culture of coconut water samples, it is impossible to judge what kind of pathogenic bacteria or bacterial toxins caused the poisoning only by the symptoms.

  It can only be said that coconut water contains carbohydrates. In an unsafe temperature environment, it can breed a variety of pathogenic bacteria and may also produce a variety of toxins, which cannot be prevented.

  In a word, coconuts opened in advance have food safety risks. Consumers had better buy the whole coconut directly, and it is safer to ask the clerk or stall owner to open it at that time after buying it. It should be refrigerated immediately after opening, even if it is refrigerated, it is best to eat it on the same day. Eating coconut meat is the same.

  Why can packaged coconut water be stored at room temperature?

  100% coconut aquatic products on the market are sterilized and packaged. The bacteria inside have been killed, and the packaging outside is sealed, so microorganisms can’t get in, so it can be safely stored at room temperature for a long time before it is opened.

  However, once opened, bacteria can enter, which is no longer safe and must be drunk as soon as possible.

  What should I do if I don’t finish the coconut water in a big package at one time?

  What if the package of coconut water is too big to drink at one time? Then pour out a part of it and drink it first. The rest of the box should be covered immediately and put back in the refrigerator for refrigeration. Never drink with your mouth to the bottle mouth, which will cause serious bacterial pollution. Even if it is refrigerated, it can’t last long. It is recommended to drink it all within 24 hours.

  Not only coconut water, but also other liquid foods, such as milk, juice and drinks, need to be refrigerated in time after opening. How long it can be stored in the refrigerator depends on the product characteristics and sterilization process.

  Generally speaking, products with particularly high acidity have slow microbial proliferation, such as lemon juice, cola, orange juice, etc., and they may not be spoiled or moldy even if they are refrigerated for 48 hours.

  Those drinks with low acidity should not be refrigerated for more than 24 hours in most cases.

  Who is suitable for drinking coconut water?

  Coconut water is not rich in various vitamins, but it is particularly rich in potassium, and the potassium content per 100 grams can be as high as more than 200 mg, while the sodium content is relatively low, with a small amount of calcium and magnesium. At the same time, the sugar content is still relatively low, only 3% to 6%, which is in line with the standard of low-sugar drinks (the sugar content in 100 ml is less than 5 g).

  Because the osmotic pressure is not high and the sugar content is low, coconut water is a good hydrating drink. For northerners, compared with buying coconuts directly, it is more cost-effective to buy a large box of coconut water at a discount and drink it with the whole family.

  Because of its high potassium content, low sugar content and low calories, coconut water is more suitable for hyperuricemia and hypertension patients than other fruit juices. Coconut water is also a good thing for people who eat too much salt, or too much meat, lack of fruits and vegetables, and imbalance of potassium and sodium.

  If you add a little salt and some water, coconut water can also be used as a sports drink. If you drink it directly, because potassium is high and sodium is low, it is not enough to make up for the loss of sodium after sweating a lot.

  However, people with kidney disease who need to limit potassium can’t drink a lot of coconut water.

  Coconut water does not have the aroma of coconut meat, but the aroma is in fat. Coconut meat is emulsified and mixed with coconut water, or without coconut water, white water is added directly, and some sugar and emulsifier are added, which is the daily coconut milk.

  There is no doubt that all milky drinks contain fat. This is true for milk, soy milk, peanut milk, walnut milk, and coconut milk. Milky white is the optical effect after fat emulsification. Therefore, milk-white coconut milk drinks, or coconut milk products used to mix desserts and drinks, have much higher calories than coconut water, and saturated fat accounts for about half of its fat. The aroma and taste are great, but the nutritional value of protein and vitamins is much lower than that of milk and soybean milk.

Inventory of domestic products as self-improvement 100 thousand yuan domestic boutique SUV

  Nowadays, independent brand manufacturers are striving to improve their brand image and product strength. From some models with good reputation and sales in recent years, we can see that the gap between domestic cars and joint venture cars is gradually narrowing, especially in the hot market of SUV, some domestic products have impressed us deeply. Today, we have brought you four representative domestic SUVs of about 100,000 yuan.

  Guide price: 97,900-153,900 yuan

  Highlights of the model: completely positive research and development, Chery flagship SUV

  Chery Tiggo 7 is a heavyweight model launched by Chery in 2016. As the flagship of the Tiggo family, Chery has made great efforts on it. Different from Tiggo 3 and Tiggo 5, Tiggo 7 is launched according to Chery’s "V-shaped forward development system" process, and it is the first model based on Chery’s new platform, which can be described as a great progress of its own brand.

  In terms of appearance, Tiggo 7 is very recognizable. The front of the car has created a layered shape with several lines, and the concave design of the air intake grille is very innovative.

  Like the front of the car, the rear part adopts a concave design, which reflects the overall design language. The inverted triangle taillights have a geometric aesthetic feeling.

  In terms of interiors, the simple and atmospheric style is suitable for all ages. The three steering wheels that run independently in the middle are unique in shape and will not give people a bloated feeling. The brown leather package of the center console and door panel feels good, and the central console hardly uses metal decorative parts, which gives people a just right feeling.

  The instrument panel adopts the combination of mechanical watch and LCD screen, and the style is very novel. The counter-clockwise tachometer is interesting, but it needs a little adaptation.  

  The UI of the multimedia system is well designed, simple and beautiful, with navigation, multimedia, communication and other functions, supporting Carplay, and equipped with Chery Clouddrive in-vehicle interconnection system.  

  Tiggo 7 offers two power options: a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum horsepower of 122 horsepower and a peak torque of 180 Nm, and a CVT gearbox. The 1.5T turbocharged engine has a maximum horsepower of 152pp and a peak torque of 205nm, which is matched with a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The driving experience is mainly smooth, and the chassis has a good texture.

    Editor’s comment: Forward research and development is an attempt from scratch. As the former "boss" of its own brand, Chery has the courage to take this step and proved its R&D strength. Although it doesn’t surprise people in design, configuration and power, it is still very competitive in an all-round and balanced way, which can be described as a solid step taken by Chery.

In the first four months, the national general public budget revenue increased by 11.9%.

  A few days ago, the statistics released by the Ministry of Finance showed that from January to April, the national general public budget revenue was 8,317.1 billion yuan, up 11.9% year-on-year; General public budget expenditure was 8,641.8 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.8%. Overall, fiscal revenue continued to rise steadily, and fiscal expenditure maintained a high intensity. Experts said that the fiscal revenue and expenditure structure was further optimized and balanced in the first four months, reflecting that fiscal sustainability has improved with the steady recovery of the economy.

  It is reported that in the first four months, the national general public budget revenue increased by 11.9% year-on-year, which was not only driven by economic recovery growth, but also affected by some special factors. For example, part of the income at the end of 2021 was put into storage at the beginning of last year, raising the base and lowering the income growth. Last year, small and medium-sized enterprises in the manufacturing industry deferred taxes and some taxes were put into storage at the wrong time this year, which boosted the income growth this year. In addition, a large-scale tax refund policy was implemented in April last year, and it returned to normal this year. The tax refund amount was greatly reduced year-on-year, which directly increased the income growth in April to 70%, which correspondingly increased the cumulative income growth from January to April. After deducting the above-mentioned special factors, from January to April, the national general public budget revenue increased by about 4% on a comparable basis, and the comparable growth rate increased by 1 percentage point compared with the first quarter, continuing the steady recovery trend.

  General public budget revenue consists of tax revenue and non-tax revenue. From the perspective of tax revenue, from January to April, the national tax revenue totaled 7,037.9 billion yuan, up 12.9% year-on-year, and increased by about 4% after deducting special factors such as tax rebates.

  Statistics show that from January to April, the domestic value-added tax increased by 58%, and increased by about 10% after deducting the tax rebate factor, which was mainly driven by factors such as economic recovery growth and the slow tax payment of small and medium-sized enterprises in manufacturing last year. Domestic consumption tax decreased by 17.9%, and value-added tax and consumption tax on imported goods decreased by 12%, mainly due to the high base in the same period last year. In addition, corporate income tax increased by 3.7% year-on-year.

  The real estate market is still gradually recovering, with deed tax increasing by 6.3%, which has rebounded for three consecutive months, mainly driven by factors such as narrowing the decline of land transfer income and the recovery of second-hand housing market in some key cities; Property tax increased by 20.5%, and urban land use tax increased by 11.5%, mainly because the income in some areas was put into storage in advance at the wrong time; Farmland occupation tax decreased by 8.8%, and land value-added tax decreased by 15.2%.

  Bai Yanfeng, a professor at the School of Finance and Taxation of the Central University of Finance and Economics, believes that from January to April, the national general public budget revenue and tax revenue achieved double-digit growth, even after deducting incomparable factors such as tax rebate, it also achieved positive growth, especially the growth rate of the first tax value-added tax after deducting the tax rebate factor still reached about 10%, and the income tax of the second tax enterprise also achieved positive growth. "These indicators all show that China’s national economy is fully recovering and getting better."

  "Tax indicators that mainly reflect the status of business entities, such as value-added tax and corporate income tax, show a year-on-year growth trend, reflecting China’s strong economic resilience, great potential and full vitality. The proactive fiscal policy will further release the potential of optimizing the economic structure, continue to improve the effectiveness and accuracy of the policy, and promote the consolidation of the economic recovery momentum. " Li Xuhong, director of the Institute of Finance and Taxation Policy and Application of Beijing National Accounting Institute, said.

  From the perspective of fiscal expenditure, financial departments at all levels strengthen the overall planning of financial resources, maintain the necessary expenditure intensity, and increase investment in weak links and key areas of economic and social development. Statistics show that from January to April, the national general public budget expenditure increased by 6.8% year-on-year. Key expenditures such as basic livelihood, rural revitalization, major regional strategies, education, and scientific and technological research have been effectively guaranteed. Among them, social security and employment expenditure increased by 10.3%; Education expenditure increased by 6.9%; Health expenditure increased by 8.7%; Urban and rural community expenditure increased by 3.1%; Expenditure on agriculture, forestry and water increased by 8%; Expenditure on science and technology increased by 9%; Expenditure on housing security increased by 8.9%.

  Li Xuhong analyzed that the implementation of fiscal expenditure was strengthened in the first four months, especially in the fields of people’s livelihood and science and technology. "In the future, we should further optimize the structure of fiscal expenditure and give full play to fiscal funds &lsquo; Four or two thousand catties &rsquo; The role of effectively promoting the expansion of investment in the whole society and promoting the recovery and growth of consumption. "

  Special debt plays an important role in promoting the expansion of effective investment and maintaining stable economic operation. Statistics show that from January to April, 1,857.5 billion yuan of local government bonds were issued for project construction, including 330.3 billion yuan of general bonds, which were mainly used for the construction of non-profit public welfare projects such as rural revitalization, pollution prevention and control, and reinforcement of small reservoirs. The special bonds amounted to 1,527.2 billion yuan, which were mainly used for municipal construction and industrial park infrastructure, social undertakings, transportation infrastructure, affordable housing projects, agriculture, forestry and water conservancy and other key areas identified by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, and promoted the construction and implementation of a large number of projects that benefited people’s livelihood, supplemented shortcomings and strong and weak items.

  The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Finance said that the next step will be to work with relevant departments to guide local governments to continue to do a good job in the reserve of special bond projects in accordance with the key areas determined by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, continuously improve the quality of reserve projects, and give full play to the fund efficiency of special bonds.

Implementation Opinions of Yunnan Provincial People’s Government on Promoting Information Consumption

The people’s governments of all prefectures and cities, the Administrative Committee of Central Yunnan Industrial New District, and the provincial committees, offices, departments and bureaus:

In order to implement "Several Opinions of the State Council on Promoting Information Consumption and Expanding Domestic Demand" (Guo Fa [2013] No.32), take accelerating the sustained growth of information consumption as an important starting point for our province to change its mode, adjust its structure and promote new economic growth points, and promote consumption upgrading, industrial transformation and improvement of people’s livelihood, we hereby put forward the following implementation opinions:

I. Significance

(1) Promoting information consumption is conducive to cultivating new economic growth points. With the continuous acceleration of information technology innovation, information consumption has gradually become an important growth force in the domestic consumer market, showing a strong penetration and driving role.

How to deal with racial discrimination in Britain? Embassy in Britain and Chinese lawyers’ advice

  China Overseas Chinese Network June 2 nd Question: What should I do if I encounter racial discrimination in Britain?

  Going out shopping was dragged to the ground, and walking in the street was thrown with sulfuric acid … Similar incidents occurred in Britain one after another. The parties have one thing in common, that is, they have Asian faces.

  The epidemic situation of COVID-19 in the world is still grim, and the phenomenon of discrimination against Asians is constantly appearing all over the world. Recently, there have been many such incidents in Britain, and some of them have turned into hate crimes.

  Chinese people are splashed with sulfuric acid on the streets.

  Mr. Jing in London was attacked by two strangers with sulfuric acid in the street. Fortunately, he was wearing a leather coat and leather gloves at that time, and the injury was not fatal.

  On the day of the incident, Mr. Jing met two men in Lu Yu, who stopped him and asked if he was "Chinese" (Chinese/Chinese). When he gave a positive answer, two men said they were lost. He kindly showed them the way, only to find that they deliberately dragged him to the corner, feeling something was wrong, so he left immediately.

  When Mr. Jing walked to the station, he felt someone running towards him behind him. He turned around and saw one of the men throwing a bottle at his face. He subconsciously blocked it with his hands, and suddenly felt a sharp tingling sensation on his face and his gloves.

  Later, he went to the police station. The police washed him with physiological saline and some liquids, and called an ambulance to take him to the hospital. The police also said that Mr. Jing was not the first person to encounter this situation.

  The case of ethnic discrimination against Chinese is not the only one.

  Attacked outside the international student store

  A few days ago, a 19-year-old China student was attacked in Sheffield, England. On the day of the incident, the China girl had just come out from shopping. A British woman insulted her with racist words, then slapped her in the face and grabbed her hair and dragged her to the ground.

  After the girl was pushed to the ground, she was kicked in the head by the attacker. The attacker also picked up a glass bottle and tried to hit the girl’s head. In the meantime, employees of the University of Sheffield came forward to help, stopped and knocked down the attackers.

  On May 14th, the Consulate General of China in Manchester issued an announcement, strongly condemning the atrocities against China students, and at the same time thanking those who were brave. The Consulate General also contacted the local police station, demanding that measures be taken to bring criminals to justice and asking the school to provide support.

  The police arrested the suspect and sent a letter to the Consulate General saying that the case had been prioritized as a criminal case. The school arranged special personnel to provide assistance to the victims.

  Similar incidents are not uncommon.

  China teachers were besieged by four people.

  A teacher from China, who was teaching in a British university, was attacked by four men for no reason while jogging in a British street. Four people beat the teacher, and the victim was kicked to the ground, with serious facial injuries and a lot of blood flowing from his nose and mouth. The attackers also attacked the victims with racist words such as "China virus" and "Get out of this country", and said some foul language.

  After the incident, the victim said in an interview that he no longer felt as safe as before. "I’m worried about what would happen if I was with my children when the incident happened."

  Racial discrimination against Chinese people is not only manifested in violent attacks.

  Chinese restaurants keep harassing calls.

  Steven and his Chinese wife Joanna run a Chinese restaurant in Britain. Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, they have been receiving harassing calls asking if they "supply bats". "The caller deliberately spoke to us with a cartoon China accent, which seemed interesting, but my wife and children and I felt offended." Steven said.

  Before the outbreak, they also received a phone call asking if they had dog meat or cat meat for sale. This situation has been going on for many years.

  Harassing phone calls virtually wastes the couple’s time, making the already struggling business worse under the epidemic.

  Steven has reported the case to the police, hoping to stop these harassing calls from coming in, and also hoping to stop these people from making harassing calls to other restaurants.

  How to deal with discrimination and hate crimes?

  Zhu Xiaojiu, president of the British-Chinese Lawyers Association, suggested that when encountering racial discrimination, we must be brave enough to speak out and report it. She also called on ethnic minorities to actively participate in mainstream affairs, let the government know the real situation and arouse the government’s attention to solving the problem of discrimination.

  If you suffer from racial discrimination, you can record or video on the premise of ensuring personal safety. When reporting and appealing, it should be noted that it is best to provide specific time and place, the appearance characteristics and behavior words of the reported object.

  It is suggested that when friends or colleagues make inappropriate jokes, if conditions permit, kindly point out the seriousness of such remarks and the potential harm they will bring to you.

  Racial discrimination sometimes leads to hate crimes. The British Embassy said that the British police attach great importance to hate crime cases and will give priority to handling hate crime alarms. Reports of hate crimes are usually recorded and investigated.

  If you encounter hate crimes, you need to deal with them in the following ways:

  1. Immediately avoid danger in an emergency, ask the surrounding people for help, and flee to a crowded or safe place.

  2. Call 999 and 101 to seek help from the local police at the first time; International students should also report to the relevant departments of their school for help.

  3. In case of serious personal danger or injury, please call the embassy in Britain for help at +44-20-74368294. International students can also contact the Education Office of the British Embassy at+44-20-76120250; Emergency telephone number +44-7410429777 (only for emergency contact after working hours).

Honeymoon Period of 2014 Sino-French Movies (I): Love and Sorrow in Co-production

   Special feature of 1905 film network This year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France. No matter the films shown in the cinema or the co-production projects, the audience can obviously feel the continuous warming of Sino-French cooperation, from the initial ambiguity to the great show of love today. On the one hand, French films such as Beauty and the Beast, Don’t Mess with Me, Superbody, and Wild Africa 3D have entered the cinema one after another to "get in touch" with the China audience, on the other hand, various types of Sino-French co-production projects are also in full swing. The standard Sino-French co-production The Nightingale was selected to represent China in the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and jean jacques annaud’s Wolf Totem, which took seven years, is about to debut in the Lunar New Year’s Eve. There are also many co-productions in progress, such as the creative animation The Prince and the 108 Evil Men and the magic film The Gate of the Warrior. The future cooperation space is still expanding.

 

    In response to this year’s upsurge of Sino-French film cooperation, 1905 Film Network exclusively interviewed Ning Ning, the producer of Nightingale in China, Mark Gao, the chairman of Jimei Film, jean jacques annaud, the director of Wolf Totem, and Isabel Granchet, the representative of Greater China of the French Film Alliance, and deeply dissected the multi-faceted cooperation of Sino-French films. From now on, it will be divided into Sino-French co-productions (Part I), Sino-French multi-faceted film cooperation (Part II) and Sino-French film cooperation.

 

[How did it hit it off? 】I like your box office market, and you like my international style.

 

    Gu Hongming, a famous scholar in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, once said in the book Spirit of Chinese: "In my opinion, it seems that only the French can best understand the real civilization of Chinese and China." The French always has a little unruly free will when making movies, and this romantic feeling in his bones directly affects the way they cooperate with other countries.

 

    In the words of director jean jacques annaud, they are more willing to "follow a good story to make a film" and go deep into other countries’ cultures, and don’t particularly care whether there are obvious French elements and French actors in the film. Isabel thinks this is a "very romantic way" for the French. Of the films that French audiences see every year, 17% of the film investment comes from the co-production system. French directors have rich experience in co-production. For them, it seems natural to go to other countries to shoot and present the humanistic customs of other countries. At the same time, the China film market, which has rapidly grown into the second largest ticket warehouse in the world, has unlimited opportunities and unlimited banknotes.

 

    For China, to strengthen cultural soft power, more channels are needed to support cultural output. Co-production is a clever way to increase international vision and viewpoint. While we are co-producing, we also hope that the film can reflect the story of China culture and China, and it is better to have China actors in Chinese dialogue. As a result, this hit-it-off cooperation concept makes Sino-French film cooperation seem sweet and tacit.

 

    Isabel:A Sino-French co-production can have no French feeling at all. For example, the first film co-produced by China and FranceI 11You didn’t know it was a French film because you couldn’t see where the French was and the French was behind the scenes. The Nightingale is the same. You won’t think that it was shot by the French, but you can feel some French elements in it.

 

    China’s rule is the other way around, and relevant institutions in China hope to see China’s story and China’s actors on the screen. It may also be because of such different requirements that our cooperation is very tacit. Because for the French, it can be an actor from China or a story from China. the French welcomes such a co-production, and because of this, we think The Nightingale is particularly successful.


 

[Go, go to the box office in France! 】The criteria for co-production between China and France are quite different.

 

    Since the first Sino-French co-production film "Kite" came out in 1958, co-production as an important film production mode has been paid much attention. In 2010, China and France signed a film co-production agreement. Last year, five films were approved by the Chinese side, including Wolf Totem, Night Peacock, Rainbow at Starry Night, Looking for Romai and The Gate of Film and Television. In the words of Mark Gao, chairman of Jimei Film, the signing of the Sino-French Co-production Agreement "gives a standard from the industry, so that both sides have normative documents to follow, which is also beneficial to the whole financial arrangement for China, such as investment ratio and inclination, which is more conducive to promoting cooperation in some films."

 

    To be a Sino-French co-production, a film must be made in both China and France.Co-project, that’s much more demanding.In China, we must follow the "28 principle": in terms of investment, neither country can be less than 20%; In terms of production mode, the China-based team must have a certain proportion of the French, and the French-based team must also have a certain number of Chinese. France’s project requirements are more specific, and they need to be strictly graded: "How many points do directors, screenwriters and recording teams have, and everything must add up to more than 25 points to sign a Sino-French co-production, so as to be released and distributed in France according to French films and enjoy all the benefits and treatment of French films." Ning Ning explained: "There is also a requirement in France that the final subtitles should prevail. For example, when you set up a project, you said that you would use someone, but you don’t need him in actual operation (it is impossible). There will be various departments in France to strictly review it. Finally, when the whole film is submitted for review, it will be reviewed with reference to your previous approval. "

 

[Dual nationality takes advantage to get soft! 】Tax subsidies and support policies enjoy the treatment of domestic films.

 

    If the combination of Chinese and French cultures lays a good foundation for cooperation, then the advantages of larger box office market space and copyright sales are undoubtedly colorful candy that tempts producers. The signing of the Sino-French Film Co-production Agreement not only helps more French films to enter China, the second largest ticket warehouse in the hot world, but also directly promotes the release and copyright sales of China films in Europe. Promote the exchange between Chinese and French filmmakers, and at the same time further promote the diversified development of world movies.

 

    Ningning:To put it bluntly, the advantage of co-production between China and France is that it has dual nationality. In China, it is a domestic film, while in France, it is a French film. Because it belongs to a local film in each country, it enjoys the supporting policies and preferential policies that each country should have for films, including its own tax subsidy policy. In China, we release domestic films, so we just enjoy a share of more than 43%, unlike the importer who can only get about 25%.

 

    At the same time, because he is a co-producer, he will be more international in film temperament and have more advantages in the sales of international copyright. At present, the films we make are more to meet the local demand than the demand of the international film market, so in recent years, China’s films will always be a little acclimatized in the international market. Co-productions such as The Nightingale are more in line with international tastes. By October, we have sold 11 countries and regions. Although the film is not big, it is quite remarkable from the current figures of international copyright sales. The film has been shown in Israel and Korea now. Like the film festival, we can participate in competitions such as the China Watch Award and Hundred Flowers Award in China, and we can also participate in French film promotion activities. This dual nature gives more opportunities for film promotion and distribution.


 

    Mark Gao:Because in France, as long as a Sino-French co-production is a French film, French television stations will support it. From the early investment of the film, there will be more protection. In China, co-productions as China films will also have preferential policies, which will actually promote the cooperation between film creators of the two countries. It is also easier to consider the whole investment arrangement.


    Jean jacques annaud:There is a proportional standard for TV reception in Europe. If this is a China film, it will be classified as a foreign film. In this part, China films will compete with many American films every year, and it is difficult to be the first choice for European film stations. However, if this is a co-production film and is regarded as a European film, there will be less competition, especially for a blockbuster like Wolf Totem, which is rarely produced as large as ours, so it will be easily accepted by European TV stations, which means a lot of money in Europe. Because it’s not just a screening in a movie theater, but it will last for several years, which makes it bring a lot of money to investors. Moreover, China filmmakers also get French subsidies, and the funds obtained from this cooperation come from different sources.

 

    The "support policy" of French TV stations mentioned by Mark Gao, chairman of Jimmy Film, and the "subsidy" mentioned by Arnold are actually the protection measures of the French government for local films. The French government will provide subsidies of about 250 million euros for the film and television industry every year. Because the Sino-French co-production belongs to French films, it is stipulated that the state should "take care of" this film and give cinemas and distributors corresponding support funds. However, it should be noted that this "benefit" is limited to France. If you want to enjoy this kind of treatment in the whole of Europe, it is not enough to turn into a co-production, but also a foreign language film. It is difficult for China actors to enjoy the treatment of European films and get subsidies in Europe.

    Isabel(Whether Chinese-French co-productions are more conducive to distribution in Europe) It still depends on the language. If it is in Chinese, it may only be bigger in the French market, because it is still a French movie when it is broadcast on TV. French TV stations, like China, have a clear stipulation that 60% of European films (40% of which are French films) and the rest are foreign films. China and the United States are both included in foreign films, so they will definitely choose more American blockbusters in the choice of Chinese and American films, because they want to attract audiences. Therefore, Sino-French co-productions have more advantages when they are purchased by French TV stations.

Global Digital Governance | Trends of Global Digital Competitiveness in 2021

The long-delayed COVID-19 epidemic has once again highlighted the indispensable and extensive influence of digital technology on a global scale. The rise of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, 3D printing, augmented reality and virtual reality, and quantum computing is subverting the traditional economic and social operation mode and shaping new development opportunities. How a country responds to the various changes brought about by the technological revolution and establishes corresponding competitiveness around digital technology will not only determine its future economic growth, but also affect its geopolitical status. In this context, countries all over the world have put the digital transformation in the fields of economy, governance and life into the important agenda of the government, and increased resource input and policy support to improve their digital competitiveness.

Not long ago, the European Center for Digital Competitiveness of the European Advanced Business School (ESCP) released the Report on the Promotion of Global Digital Competitiveness in 2021 (Digital Riser Report 2021)。 The research report comprehensively uses the relevant data from the World Economic Forum, the World Bank and the International Telecommunication Union to evaluate and rank the current digital competitiveness of 137 countries around the world, and extracts the best practices of countries with rapidly rising digital competitiveness, so as to provide decision-making and action guidance for other countries. The relevant research conclusions have certain reference significance for countries around the world to understand the advantages and disadvantages of their digital transformation from a macro perspective and to calibrate the strategic direction of enhancing digital competitiveness.

The research report simplifies the definition of a country’s "digital competitiveness" as 10 equal weight factors in two categories: "digital ecosystem" and "digital thinking mode", and divides all countries into nine groups, namely, G7, G20 and Asia-Pacific, Eurasia, Europe and North America, Latin America and the Caribbean, Middle East and North Africa, South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa defined by the World Economic Forum. On this basis, combined with the data of the three years from 2019 to 2021, it is scored and ranked. Among them, the elements belonging to the "digital ecosystem" include the difficulty of obtaining venture capital, the cost of starting a business, the time required for starting a business, the convenience of hiring international talents, and the digital skills of university graduates; The "digital thinking mode" includes the digital skills of the working population, the attitude towards entrepreneurial risks, the diversity of labor force, the scale of mobile broadband users, and the acceptance of subversive business development ideas by enterprises. The scoring results intuitively reflect the changes of digital competitiveness of countries in terms of sub-items and overall, while limiting the ranking to nine groups is to ensure that the comparison baseline is relatively fair and the results are comparable. By combing the relevant evaluation results, the report puts forward three main findings:

Nowadays, the global digital competitiveness is changing.

The research report shows that while the digital competitiveness of some countries and regions is rapidly improving, some leading digital countries in public perception are gradually losing their advantages. Taking China and the United States as two digital superpowers, for example, during 2019-2021, China’s digital competitiveness improved obviously (+211), while the United States showed a decline (-72). Moreover, whether in the G7 or G20 group, the ranking of the increase in digital competitiveness of the United States is in a relatively backward position. The analysis believes that the decline of digital competitiveness in the United States is mainly driven by the dimension of digital ecosystem, including a series of adverse effects such as increasing immigration and visa barriers, which makes it more difficult to attract international digital and information professionals. The promotion of China’s competitiveness is mainly reflected in its strong advantages in the dimension of digital thinking mode, including the proposal and deployment of a series of national overall strategic plans, and taking scientific and technological innovation and entrepreneurship as important measures to achieve high-quality development.

In addition to the United States, Britain (-85), Sweden (-92) and other developed countries in digital technology also failed to show a significant increase in digital competitiveness. India (-396), Germany (-176) and other big countries even experienced a sharp decline in competitiveness in both digital ecosystems and digital thinking modes. However, some countries, such as Georgia (+153), Egypt (+258), Canada (+47) and Vietnam (+339), which do not have a high digital starting point, have become the leaders in this field because they have implemented a series of fruitful digital transformation measures. To some extent, this shows that the global digital competitiveness pattern is in the process of dynamic reorganization, and new global digital technology leaders will appear in the future.

Digital competitiveness is closely related to digital transformation measures.

The research report collects the "Best Practice" of digital transformation in G7, G20 and seven regional economic groups whose digital competitiveness has increased significantly in the past three years, covering the actual progress in the fields of strategic planning, policy assistance, investment support and perfect supervision. For example, through the implementation of the "National Innovation and Skills Plan", Canada set up a strategic innovation fund for digital transformation, adding more than 70,000 jobs, driving more than 45 billion US dollars of investment, and injecting new vitality into the national economy; Vietnam pushes the "National Digital Transformation Plan in 2025", vigorously advocates the adoption of emerging digital technologies, builds a digital government, and sets a long-term goal that the digital economy will account for 30% of the national GDP by 2030; Egypt has vigorously promoted the "ICT 2030 Strategy" and the "Digital Egypt" plan, thus becoming the leader of digital transformation in the Middle East. Therefore, the report believes that the promotion of national digital competitiveness is closely related to the government’s clear long-term goal of digital transformation and leading the formulation and implementation of comprehensive planning for digital transformation.

To enhance digital competitiveness, we need to support digital innovation and entrepreneurship.

The research report found that countries with rapidly rising digital competitiveness pay great attention to attracting international talents, promoting innovation and entrepreneurship, and strengthening the education and training of digital skills. For example, Italy has established a legal framework to provide visa convenience and tax incentives for start-up companies and scientific and technological talents through the Entrepreneurship Law (ISA), thus attracting tens of thousands of start-up companies to register and operate in Italy in just three years; The Spanish government has launched a series of entrepreneurship support policies, including the Entrepreneurship Promotion Law, the establishment of a national entrepreneurship office, and the introduction of outstanding international talents. Georgia is actively implementing the "2017-2021 Strategy for the Unification of Education and Science" to promote the modernization of science, technology and innovation system.

In view of this, the research report emphasizes that each country needs to fully develop its own digital thinking mode and digital ecosystem, and pay attention to the speed and effectiveness of policy implementation in order to improve its digital competitiveness. At the same time, from the evaluation results of global digital competitiveness in 2021, under the influence of multiple factors, the speed of digital transformation varies greatly among different countries, and the global competition pattern around digital transformation also shows a rapid change trend, and there may be many possibilities in the future. Generally speaking, countries that attach importance to and vigorously promote digital transformation can basically make significant progress in a relatively short period of time. Even countries with weak digital foundation can realize the acceleration of digital transformation after taking appropriate actions and measures. Therefore, governments should attach great importance to and carefully consider the future strategic decision-making and management mode in this key field, and effectively promote digital transformation based on actual national conditions.
