How will these cities affect the property market in addition to meeting the needs of mutual loans from different places?

  Recently, the policies of mutual recognition and loan of housing provident fund and withdrawal from different places have been intensively introduced in many places, and the integration of provident fund has gradually become a fashion. Its linkage effect on regional economy and whether it affects the regional real estate market have attracted the attention of the outside world.

  On November 5, the cooperation of housing provident fund loans in different places in Greater Nanchang Metropolitan Area was officially launched in Nanchang. Cooperation agreements were signed for the housing provident fund systems in Jiujiang, Yichun, Fuzhou, Shangrao and Nanchang.

  On October 28th, Jiaodong Economic Circle introduced the policy of provident fund integration, which benefited Qingdao, Yantai, Weihai, Weifang and Rizhao. According to the policy, in the future, when employees who have paid the provident fund in five cities apply for loans in other four cities, they will no longer be restricted by whether they have local household registration, and they can enjoy the same rights and interests as the loan employees where the loan application institution is located.

  In fact, this kind of provident fund cooperation between provinces and cities is not uncommon. According to incomplete statistics, more than 50 places have introduced new provident fund policies during the year, among which there are many new policies involving the integration of provident fund in the economic circle.

  Wang Jinbin, deputy dean of the School of Economics of China Renmin University and professor of macroeconomics, told CBN that the mutual loan of provident fund in different places is an improvement of the provident fund system. When the flow of provident fund is not restricted by regions, it is beneficial to the flow of people and urbanization. Money goes with people, not people, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of factors and thus promoting the domestic cycle.

  Cross-regional loans promote the turnover rate of provident fund in economic circle

  Behind the acceleration of the integration of provident fund is the long-standing problem of uneven flow of provident fund in the same economic circle. The root cause is that most employees in the past can only make provident fund loans at the place where the provident fund is deposited.

  According to the 2019 Annual Report of National Housing Provident Fund released in June, the withdrawal amount of housing provident fund in Beijing, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangzhou exceeded 100 billion yuan, while the withdrawal amount of housing provident fund in 12 other provinces was less than 30 billion yuan, and that in some areas was less than 10 billion yuan. In terms of loan amount, in 2019, Jiangsu’s housing provident fund loans were the highest, totaling 122.604 billion yuan, up 29.3% year-on-year, with Guangdong and Shanghai ranking second and third. In addition, housing provident fund loans in Shandong, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Beijing and Hubei exceeded 50 billion yuan.

  Liu Lin, a researcher at China Macroeconomic Research Institute, once said that because funds can’t flow across regions, there are both insufficient liquidity and excess liquidity of housing provident fund. In areas where the housing market is hot, the amount of housing provident fund loans has dropped and queuing loans have occurred frequently, while in areas where the housing market is hot, a large number of housing provident funds have precipitated.

  The large stock and the difficulty in destocking have restricted the development of the property market in third-and fourth-tier cities. Yan Yuejin, research director of the think tank center of Yiju Research Institute, said that the integration of provident fund in the economic circle has a great supporting effect on cross-city housing purchase.

  Wang Jinbin analyzed that mutual loans from different places can divert some people who can’t afford housing prices in central cities, or those who have plans to return home, thus increasing the radiation effect of central cities and promoting the process of regional urbanization.

  Xu Xiaole, chief analyst of RealData, believes that provident fund loan is a policy tool to support the demand for housing purchase, which can not directly promote the economic development of urban agglomerations, but is beneficial to population mobility. For regions with relatively balanced development among cities and strong population mobility, mutual recognition of provident funds has greater value space.

  Xu Xiaole said that the proportion of provident fund in housing purchase is not high, especially in the core cities with higher housing prices. But it is good for some just-needed groups. Mutual recognition and mutual lending in urban circles can promote the reasonable distribution of customers with different housing needs among cities.

  On March 28 this year, Sichuan and Chongqing established a cross-regional transfer and connection and mutual recognition and loan mechanism. According to the Chengdu Housing Provident Fund Management Center, as of October 23, through data sharing, employees who have deposited in Chengdu Center have applied for provident fund loans in Chongqing Center for more than 120 times, and more than 30 provident fund loans have been issued, with a total amount of about 13 million yuan.

  Yan Yuejin said that the mutual recognition and loan mechanism of provident funds between the two places can promote the circulation of talents between the two places.

  Limited benefit to the population and little short-term impact on the property market.

  According to combing, there are at least seven cases of regional integration of housing provident fund in China.

  First, in September 2019, 10 cities in Huaihai Economic Zone signed an integration agreement on housing provident fund. Second, in December 2019, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Housing Provident Fund information sharing platform was established. Third, in March, 2020, a symposium on the integrated development of housing provident fund in the economic circle of Chengdu and Chongqing was held. Fourth, in August 2020, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Anhui provinces and one city signed the Framework Agreement on Strategic Cooperation for the Integration of Housing Provident Funds in the Yangtze River Delta. Fifth, in September 2020, 20 cities in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River signed the Convention on Cooperation in Housing Provident Fund Management Centers of Urban Agglomerations in the Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River. Sixth, in October, 2020, the joint meeting on the integrated development of housing provident fund in Jiaodong Economic Circle was held in Qingdao. Seventh, in November 2020, the cooperation of housing provident fund loans in different places in the Greater Nanchang Metropolitan Area was officially launched in Nanchang.

  As far as the economic circle is concerned, will the integration of provident fund relieve the pressure on central cities to lend provident fund, and will help third-and fourth-tier cities resist the siphon effect of central cities and raise housing prices?

  Zhang Dawei, chief analyst of Zhongyuan Real Estate, believes that the purpose of this policy is to release the surplus population in big cities, but it has little impact on the real estate market in the economic circle.

  "The withdrawal amount of the provident fund is low. For talents who work hard in first-tier cities, it is impossible to rely on the provident fund to buy commercial housing. Naturally, they will not give up their development opportunities in first-tier cities just because they can borrow from different places. The number of people who use the provident fund to lend in different places is still very small. " Zhang Dawei said.

  A few days ago, nationwide, the deposit of provident fund was still narrow. It is reported that the number of employees paid into the national provident fund only accounts for about one-third of all employed people in cities and towns, and in 2019, employees in private enterprises accounted for about 68%. According to the 2019 Annual Report of the National Housing Provident Fund, among the indicators of "new housing provident fund paid employees", the proportion of employees in private enterprises nationwide is only 33%.

  Zhang Dawei said that the practice of mutual loan of provident fund in different places does have "chicken ribs". "At present, if we want the provident fund system to have more radiation and greater influence, we should focus on how to use innovative means to increase the amount of provident fund loans available to employees in the local area, such as issuing discount loans."

  It is worth noting that the mutual loan of provident fund in different places does not mean that buyers can obtain the qualification to buy a house in different places, and the barriers to buying a house in the economic circle still exist. Taking Chengdu-Chongqing area as an example, according to the conditions of the provident fund policy in the main city of Chongqing, only the first suite and the first mortgage can be used in the main city of Chongqing at the same time, and not every property in Chongqing supports provident fund loans.

  Xu Xiaole told CBN that as a policy loan, the role of the provident fund system is still to meet the people who just need it, and the provident fund alone cannot stimulate the demand for real estate speculation.

Slow East and Fast West: GDP growth rate of 21 provinces is higher than the national average.

  According to the interim report cards of economic operation published by various provinces, cities and districts in China, in the first half of this year, the GDP growth rate of 21 provinces in China was significantly faster than that of the whole country. It can be said that with the continuous deepening of supply-side structural reform, new kinetic energy has accelerated its growth, and the economic development of various places has shown a development trend of high quality and high quality — —

  Recently, 31 provinces across the country have successively announced the interim transcripts of economic operations in the first half of 2017. Among them, Tibet continued to lead with a GDP growth rate of 10.8%, followed by Chongqing and Guizhou. Gansu’s GDP growth rate obviously fell behind in the western sector, and Liaoning’s GDP growth rate continued to rank at the bottom.

  The reporter found in combing the transcripts that in the first half of this year, the economic growth rate of most provinces in China was the same as that in the first quarter or rebounded, and the economic operation was generally stable and good. What is even more gratifying is that with the continuous deepening of supply-side structural reforms, new kinetic energy has accelerated its growth, and economic development in various places is not only full of color, but also of high quality. However, it is worth noting that the economic operation in some areas has been obviously divided, and the investment operation in some provinces is weak, and the economic growth momentum is obviously insufficient.

  Economic operation is generally stable.

  In the first half of this year, China’s GDP growth rate was 6.9%, of which the growth rate in the first and second quarters was 6.9%. Judging from the GDP data released by various provinces, the GDP growth rate of 21 provinces is obviously faster than the national growth rate; The GDP growth rate of Tianjin, Shanghai and Shanxi is equal to the national growth rate; The GDP growth rate of seven provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities including Beijing, Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Gansu and Liaoning is slower than 6.9%.

  In recent years, China’s GDP growth rate has generally shown a pattern of "slow in the east and fast in the west", that is, the GDP growth rate in the western provinces is faster, followed by the central provinces, and the eastern provinces are slower, while the northeast region is facing the heavy responsibility of revitalization.

  From the first half of this year, this pattern has not changed in general. Among the 10 provinces in the eastern region, the GDP growth rate is between 6.8% and 8.3%. Compared with the first quarter, the GDP growth rate of Beijing, Tianjin, Fujian and Hainan has slowed down, while the growth rate of Zhejiang, Shandong and Guangdong provinces is flat, while the growth rate of Hebei, Shanghai and Jiangsu provinces has slightly accelerated.

  The GDP growth rate of six provinces in the central region is between 6.9% and 9%. Among them, Jiangxi’s growth rate is 9%, which is the same as that in the first quarter, and it is in the leading position among the six central provinces, and the growth rate of the other five provinces is faster than that in the first quarter.

  It is noteworthy that after 13 quarters of sluggish performance, Shanxi’s GDP growth rate was 6.9%, which finally caught up with the national pace, and the economic growth gradually entered a reasonable range, showing a development trend from "fatigue" to "prosperity". Previously, Shanxi’s economy once suffered a cliff-like decline, ranking in the bottom position of the country, with an economic growth rate of only 3.1%.

  Among the western provinces, the GDP growth rate of 10 provinces is above 7%, which is obviously faster than the national average growth rate; Tibet, Chongqing and Guizhou provinces continued to maintain double-digit growth, ranking the top three in terms of growth rate and leading other provinces in China for several quarters.

  Gansu’s GDP growth rate is worrying. In the first quarter of this year, Gansu’s GDP growth rate was 6.1%. Although it was at the bottom in the western region, it was still faster than the three northeastern provinces. From the first half of the year, Gansu’s economic growth rate was only 5%, which was 1.9 percentage points slower than the national growth rate, 1.6 percentage points slower than Inner Mongolia, which is in the penultimate position in the western region, and 5.8 percentage points slower than Tibet, the leader of the western provinces. This performance may mean that Gansu’s economic development is in danger of "taking the lead and falling behind" in the western provinces.

  The GDP growth rate of the three northeastern provinces is still slower than the national growth rate. Among them, the GDP growth rate of Heilongjiang and Jilin is 0.2 and 0.6 percentage points faster than that of the first quarter, and Jilin also surpassed Heilongjiang with an increase of 0.6, and the economic growth rate is in the leading position among the three northeastern provinces. Liaoning’s GDP growth rate is only 2.1%, 0.3 percentage points slower than the first quarter, and the growth rate is at the bottom of the country.

  Improve quality and increase efficiency steadily.

  In the first half of this year, while maintaining a stable economic growth rate, China’s economic structure continued to be optimized, and economic growth improved quality and efficiency steadily.

  Combing the economic performance of the provinces in the first half of the year, the provinces adhere to the main line of promoting supply-side structural reform, constantly optimize the economic structure and strive to improve the quality and efficiency of development while maintaining a stable overall economic operation.

  In the first half of this year, the growth rate of total consumption in the whole social market was 3.1 percentage points higher than that of fixed assets investment in the whole society, and the dominant position of consumption was more prominent.

  The growth rate of 6.8% in Hebei Province in the first half of the year is the highest level since 2014. Tian Yan, deputy inspector and spokesperson of Hebei Provincial Bureau of Statistics, said that the "three to one, one reduction and one supplement" in Hebei Province has achieved remarkable results, of which the reduction in steelmaking capacity was 15.72 million tons and ironmaking capacity was 14.08 million tons. At the same time, the growth rate of added value of high-tech industries is 4.4 percentage points faster than that of industries above designated size, and the proportion of added value of industries above designated size is further increased; Strategic emerging industries have developed rapidly, and the growth rate is faster than that of traditional industries. In terms of new formats, e-commerce, online shopping, express delivery, sharing economy and other fields have developed rapidly.

  "The service industry has become the main driving force for Chongqing’s economic growth." Qin Yao, deputy director and spokesperson of Chongqing Municipal Bureau of Statistics, pointed out that in the first half of this year, Chongqing’s economy was in a good state of operation, and the supply-side structural reforms showed results. The new economy gradually grew and new kinetic energy gradually accumulated. The growth rate of tertiary industry in Chongqing is higher than that of primary and secondary industries, which is one of the effects of local economic restructuring and one of the reasons why Chongqing’s economy remains stable and rapid.

  Han Zuhai, chief statistician of the Statistics Bureau of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, said that in the first half of the year, the endogenous driving force of Guangxi’s economic growth continued to be released, the total retail sales of social consumer goods increased by 10.6%, and the sales of products with consumption upgrades were relatively good. The new economy represented by new industries, new formats and new business models continued to maintain rapid growth, and the quality and efficiency of economic operation were significantly improved.

  "Whether it is the operation situation, economic structure, the growth of new power, the quality of operation and the improvement of people’s livelihood, it can be seen that Guangxi’s economic operation in the first half of the year was steady and rising, and it laid a more solid foundation for achieving the annual development goals and striving for better results in practical work." Han Zuhai said.

  Investment differentiation deserves attention.

  In the first half of the year, the national investment in fixed assets (excluding farmers) increased by 8.6% year-on-year, and the growth rate was the same as that from January to May. The investment structure continued to be optimized, the growth rate of manufacturing investment and private investment rebounded, and positive factors in investment operation gradually accumulated.

  From the perspective of provinces, while increasing investment in fixed assets, all localities pay more attention to the function of investment to make up for shortcomings. Beijing’s investment in fixed assets pays more attention to social benefits. In the first half of the year, infrastructure investment contributed more than 90% to the city’s investment growth, mainly in transportation, energy, water affairs, greening and other fields.

  In the first half of the year, the investment in people’s livelihood projects in Hunan Province increased by 23.1% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 10.7 percentage points faster than the total investment. Among them, investment in education increased by 10.5%; Investment in health and social work increased by 42.6%.

  Ningxia’s investment in fixed assets increased by 9.5% in the first half of the year. Among them, investment in short-board areas grew well, with investment in agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery increasing by 65.4%, investment in transportation, warehousing and postal services by 24.8%, investment in information transmission, software and information technology services by 17.7%, and investment in water conservancy, environment and public facilities management by 1.0 times.

  It is noteworthy that in the first half of the year, the investment in various provinces showed obvious differentiation. Among the 31 provinces, the investment growth rate of 19 provinces is faster than that of the whole country. Among them, the growth rate of investment in Xinjiang, Guizhou and Tibet is above 20%, which is in the leading position; The growth rate of investment in 14 provinces such as Yunnan and Guangdong is between 10% and 20%.

  Among the 12 provinces whose investment growth rate is slower than the national growth rate, Jilin, Liaoning and Gansu provinces have the lowest investment growth rate. Among them, the growth rates of investment in Liaoning and Gansu were -31.4% and -36.3%, respectively, which were 6.5 and 5.7 percentage points higher than those in the first quarter. The sharp decline in investment in fixed assets has seriously dragged down economic growth, which is an important reason why Gansu and Liaoning rank at the bottom of GDP growth rate.

  The investment in fixed assets still plays a key role in macroeconomic growth. At present, the differentiation of investment operation in different provinces, especially the continuous slowdown of investment growth in Liaoning and Gansu, should be highly valued.

  Zhao Peiya, inspector of the Investment Department of the National Bureau of Statistics, wrote that at present, China should continue to unswervingly promote supply-side structural reforms and expand reasonable and effective investment; Grasp transformation and promote upgrading, and strive to revitalize the development of the real economy such as manufacturing; Strengthen support and guidance for emerging industries and vigorously cultivate new kinetic energy for development; Effectively implement various policies on private investment and better stimulate the vitality of private investment.

International observation | The "matrix" with bad records-The beginning of the US undermining global network security

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 15th(International observation) The "Matrix" with bad records — — At the beginning, the United States undermined global network security.

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Huang Kun

  According to the latest report of China National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center, in the process of cooperating with 360 Company to investigate the cyber attack of Northwestern Polytechnical University, several samples of spyware named "Second Dating" were successfully extracted. According to reports, the software is a network "spy" weapon developed by the National Security Agency of the United States, and the investigation team found that it runs covertly in thousands of network devices all over the world.

  For a long time, the United States has a bad track record in the field of network security. From the "Prism Gate" ten years ago to the "Leak Gate" this year, a great deal of evidence shows that the network monitoring and attacks in the United States have never stopped, including the victims of the United Nations and its allies.

  "There is no refuge, no resting place, and the US government will not accept any place outside its monitoring vision." American journalist Barton german revealed this in the book American Black Mirror.

  As the world’s largest "matrix" and cyber thief, what the United States has done has seriously damaged the sovereignty of other countries and seriously violated the privacy of global Internet users. China is the biggest victim of global cyber attacks, most of which come from the United States.

  China is the biggest victim of cyber attacks.

  In July this year, the relevant departments of China reported that the Wuhan Earthquake Monitoring Center had suffered a cyber attack. According to media tracking reports, Du Zhenhua, a senior engineer of the National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center, said that the joint investigation team found backdoor malware with very complicated technology in the network of the victim unit, which is in line with the characteristics of American intelligence agencies.

  China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin pointed out at a regular press conference in the same month that China’s government departments are suffering from massive cyber attacks almost every day, most of which originate from the United States.

  On May 4th this year, China National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center and 360 Company jointly released the "Matrix" investigation report — — The United States Central Intelligence Agency. This report shows that the CIA has launched a massive global cyber attack: using a large number of back doors and loopholes that have not been disclosed so far, it has established "zombie" networks and attack springboard networks around the world, and carried out attacks and intrusions in stages against network servers, network terminals, switches and routers, and a large number of industrial control equipment. In the cyber attack specifically targeted at targets in China, relevant institutions successfully extracted several samples of "Dome 7" cyber attack weapons, and institutions in several Southeast Asian countries and Europe also extracted almost identical samples. "Dome 7" is the secret attack method of the CIA Network Intelligence Center disclosed on the Wikileaks website in 2017.

  Last April, Xi ‘an police received an alarm, and the information system of China Northwestern Polytechnical University found traces of cyber attacks. The technical team investigating this incident successively extracted Trojan samples from the university’s multiple information systems and Internet terminals, comprehensively used the existing domestic data resources and analysis methods, and got the full support of some partners in Europe and Southeast Asia, fully restored the overall profile, technical characteristics, attack weapons, attack paths and attack sources of related attacks, and initially determined that related attacks originated from the "Specific Invasion Action Office" of the National Security Agency of the United States.

  The latest circular issued by China National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center said that in the process of cooperating with the investigation of the cyber attack of Northwestern Polytechnical University, several samples of spyware named "Second Dating" were successfully extracted. According to the internal documents of the National Security Agency leaked by the hacker organization "Shadow Broker", this malware is a network "spy" weapon developed by the National Security Agency. It is mainly deployed in the border devices (gateways, firewalls, border routers, etc.) of the target network, secretly monitoring network traffic, and accurately selecting specific network sessions for redirection, hijacking and tampering as needed.

  The above case is the tip of the iceberg for the United States to launch cyber attacks on China. According to the summary report of Internet network security situation released by the website of China National Internet Emergency Center in 2021, in 2020, more than 42 million samples of computer malicious programs were captured in China, among which foreign malicious programs mainly came from the United States, accounting for 53.1%. In 2020, there will be 52,000 overseas computer malware control servers that control hosts in China, among which about 19,000 control servers are located in the United States, ranking first.

  American network monitoring and attacks have never stopped.

  "Espionage is a deep-rooted habit that has been embedded in American history." An article in Time magazine in the United States once commented like this.

  According to the latest report of China National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center, the investigation team found that thousands of network devices all over the world are still running the "second date" spyware and its derivative versions, and found the springboard servers remotely controlled by the National Security Agency of the United States, most of which are located in Germany, Japan, South Korea, India and Taiwan Province, China.

  In April this year, the "Leak Door" incident caused a great uproar. A batch of suspected secret documents of the US military were leaked to social media, and their contents showed that the United States monitored the internal dialogue between Ukrainian President Zelensky and Ukrainian officials, and obtained the internal communication between South Korea and Israel and other allies. The US media pointed out that the relevant information was obtained by the US through the so-called "signal intelligence", which is a special term in the intelligence community, which means that the US government continues to monitor these countries.

  The surveillance scandal in the United States is nothing new. In 2013, edward snowden, a former American defense contractor employee, exposed to the media a large-scale secret surveillance project codenamed Prism, which covered not only American citizens, but also politicians and people in European countries such as France and Germany. In May 2021, the European media broke the news that the United States, with the help of the Danish intelligence department, monitored the leaders of European countries such as Germany, France, Sweden and Norway.

  In recent years, various monitoring projects in the United States have been exposed continuously, including the "echelon" project for satellite communication initiated in the 1960s, the "Star Wind" project whose monitoring target covers American citizens, the "arch" project for global network security vendors, the "magic" project for telephone monitoring, and the "upstream" project for copying optical signals from network backbone optical cables and switches. It can be said that from e-mail, voice calls to social networks, from foreign leaders, foreign people to the American people, the United States is also listening.

  In addition to monitoring, the United States frequently launches cyber attacks on other countries. According to the hacker organization "Shadow Broker", the US National Security Agency conducted cyber attacks on 287 targets in more than 45 countries and regions, including Russia, Japan, Spain, Germany and Italy, which lasted for more than ten years. Andrei Krutskikh, Director of the Department of International Information Security of the Russian Foreign Ministry, said that as of May 2022, more than 65,000 hackers from the United States and other countries regularly participated in the attacks on Russia’s key information infrastructure.

  The United States also combines cyber attacks with traditional intelligence means as an important means of "mixed war." In 2010, the United States implanted the "Shenzhen" virus into the internal network of Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility through espionage, which led to the paralysis of a large number of uranium enrichment centrifuges.

  The cyber military power of the United States has also been expanding in recent years. In 2017, the US Cyber Command was upgraded to the 10th Joint Operations Command of the US Army, and the cyberspace was officially juxtaposed with the ocean, land, sky and space, becoming the "fifth battlefield" of the US military. In 2018, the US Department of Defense’s cyber strategy report emphasized that it is necessary to "preempt" in cyberspace.

  The United States has always gone its own way to safeguard hegemony.

  Over the years, American network monitoring and attacks have been repeatedly exposed and widely criticized by the international community. However, in order to safeguard its own hegemony, the United States still goes its own way, and continues to wantonly undermine network security and trample on international norms and the sovereignty of other countries.

  After the "Prism Gate" was exposed, Nassil Key, then spokesman of the UN Secretary-General, said in October 2013 that the UN contacted the US on the report that it was monitored by the US intelligence department, and the US government had promised not to monitor the UN. He emphasized that the inviolability of diplomatic missions, including the United Nations, is a widely accepted principle of international law, and all Member States of the United Nations should abide by this principle. However, the information exposed by Leak Door this year shows that the United States is still listening to the private conversations between the UN Secretary-General and other UN officials.

  On October 26th, 2013, hundreds of people took part in a demonstration in Washington, D.C., protesting the large-scale surveillance activities of the National Security Agency (NSA) against ordinary Americans. Xinhua News Agency reporter Fang Yushe

  The same is true of the United States to its allies. The documents exposed by Prism Gate show that the United States has monitored dozens of diplomatic institutions, including the Korean Embassy in the United States. At that time, the South Korean government asked the US for an explanation, while the US prevaricated with the statement that "the intelligence operation will be reassessed". However, this year’s "Leak Door" information shows that the US intelligence agencies continue to monitor South Korean government officials. A few months after the "Prism Gate" incident in 2013, the German government revealed that the mobile phone of then Chancellor Angela Merkel might be monitored by US intelligence agencies. Merkel later called the then US President Barack Obama directly and criticized this as a "serious breach of trust". The incident ended with the US promising not to monitor Merkel’s communication equipment. However, the "monitoring door" exposed in 2021 shows that the United States is still monitoring Merkel at least until 2014.

  With false promises, but in fact, there is no convergence, and cyber attacks undermine the sovereignty of other countries. All kinds of actions confirm the comments of the article on the website of Helsinki Times in Finland: The United States has been proved to be the largest matrix in the world and the most serious threat to global cyber security.

Focus interview: Great Northern Wilderness has transformed Great Northern Cang into modern agriculture with the wings of science and technology.

  Cctv news(Focus interview): "For a big country with a population of more than 1.4 billion, the basic position of agriculture cannot be ignored or weakened at any time. It is true at any time to have food in hand and not panic in mind." The Great Northern Wilderness is one of the three black soil belts in the world. The fertile soil and abundant precipitation here are very suitable for agricultural development, and there is a saying that "the black soil will sprout when you pinch it, and the chopsticks will sprout". After decades of efforts, the Great Northern Wilderness has already become a great northern warehouse, which has played a great role in solving the problem of food and clothing for China people. In September 2018, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to Jiansanjiang Branch of Beidahuang Group for investigation and investigation, which put forward new requirements for grain production here and brought more vitality and development opportunities here.

  In May, rice fields in Sanjiang Plain were busy transplanting rice seedlings, and so was Hongwei Farm of Beidahuang Group. However, in this field, only machinery is busy, and no one can be seen. Now, Beidahuang Group has taken the lead in opening a "new era of unmanned operation" of modern agriculture in China.

  So how do these machines work? In fact, the people who command them are miles away.

  The Smart Farm Command Center is equivalent to the brain nerve center system of the unmanned farm. When the workers operate here, they can command all the unmanned machines in the farm to farm. For example, which machine to start and what route to take, including a few centimeters and millimeters of line margins, can be set very accurately.

  Set up all the data, give the start instruction, and the designated machinery on the farm will start working.

  Precision transplanting and fertilization, which used to be impossible for several days, are now finished in half a day. Although people are not in the field, these machines are very obedient, because the remote operating system of the command center can monitor the whole process of mechanical operation in real time and control every step accurately.

  And these machines don’t just passively accept instructions, they can interact intelligently with commanders.

  These scenes that look like science fiction movies have now become a reality here. In recent years, Beidahuang Group has intensified its scientific and technological innovation, and used advanced technologies such as Beidou satellite navigation and 5G to take the lead in exploring the construction of unmanned smart farms. Six demonstration areas have been built, with an operating area of over 10,000 mu, and the whole process of agricultural planting can be unmanned.

  Injecting agriculture into the power of science and technology will inevitably develop rapidly. In recent years, the grain production of Beidahuang Group has not only greatly increased production and increased efficiency, but also significantly improved the quality of grain, creating a number of high-quality agricultural products brands — — This is also the idea and direction advocated by the state to develop grain production.

  There are many self-produced high-quality agricultural products in the lobby of Beidahuang Agricultural Machinery Center. When the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader visited in 2018, he paid special attention to these agricultural products.

  Later, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came to the paddy field outside with an area of 10,000 mu of land to learn about the production and living conditions of the farm workers who were farming, and said to them, "The Great Northern Wilderness has played a great role in solving the problem of food and clothing for China people. Now the development of mechanization, informationization and intelligence here is great, and it is not easy to build the Great Northern Wilderness."

  The land guide was particularly touched by the general secretary’s words. Three generations of his family are farm workers. Grandpa was the first pioneer who came here in response to the call in the 1950s, and his father worked here all his life. It can be said that the youth of his whole family has been dedicated to this land.

  In 1950s, China began to develop the Great Northern Wilderness on a large scale. Tens of thousands of builders responded to the call and came here to break ground and launched the feat of "asking for food from the wasteland". At that time, the Great Northern Wilderness was still full of thorns and swamps, and the conditions were extremely difficult. The pioneers suffered unimaginable difficulties.

  Difficulties and hardships did not knock down the pioneers, but they had a sense of mission in their hearts.

  After several generations of efforts, the Great Northern Wilderness has now become a solid northern warehouse. However, the sense of responsibility that people in the Great Northern Wilderness should work hard to grow grain and mostly produce grain for the country has been passed down from generation to generation. In 2018, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader came here to inspect and encourage the people in the Great Northern Wilderness, which added confidence and motivation to the younger generation.

  The new generation of builders are still farming, but their methods are completely different from those of their grandparents.

  The land guide has been renting other people’s drones before, and recently the land guide plans to buy one. Although grandpa didn’t quite understand it, he still expressed his support. Now grandpa often laments that he has planted land all his life, but now he is a layman compared with these young people.

  The modernization of agriculture in the Great Northern Wilderness is only a microcosm of China’s agricultural development. In recent years, with the vigorous promotion of the state, all major grain producing areas are gradually realizing the transformation from backward farming methods to large-scale mechanization and automation. Now, for many growers, farming has become a brand-new way of life.

  Like Zhou Dehua, farmers in the Great Northern Wilderness Smart Farm now have a special fertilization proposal for each piece of land. According to this formula, the yield and quality of grain are much higher than before. Behind this change is still the power of technology.

  Only when growers can understand and learn, can science and technology play its role. This requires not only vigorous scientific research, but also efforts from all parties to do the work according to the needs of growers, so that scientific research results can become a useful magic weapon for growing grain. For example, behind the fertilization formula, there are many efforts of researchers.

  Researchers collect samples, conduct tests, form scientific data, and then transmit them to the big data platform of the farm Internet of Things.

  Internet of Things big data platform is an important achievement of information construction of Beidahuang Group in recent years. At present, all kinds of intelligent equipment are installed in each plot in the demonstration area, which can monitor and collect all kinds of data in real time for 24 hours, and at the same time transmit them to the information platform for intelligent analysis, forming scientific guidance to guide growers to accurately operate every link of grain growing.

  The new agriculture needs new thinking, and the spirit of struggle of the people in the Great Northern Wilderness will not change, but the pace of learning will keep moving forward.

  "Agriculture is a basic industry, and China’s modernization cannot be separated from agricultural modernization." We can see that in the endless Sanjiang Plain, large-scale machinery criss-crossing fields, unmanned aerial vehicles fertilizing and spraying drugs, plus improved seed selection and scientific soil testing and fertilization have changed people’s traditional impression of grain production. Grain production is entering the era of scale, automation and intelligence. This also gives us a direction to ensure food security, that is, "to revitalize agriculture, we must plug in the wings of science and technology, and we must rely on excellent talents, advanced equipment and parks that are suitable for industrial development."

"China Partner" reveals new special, Deng Chao and Tong Dawei are naked in the bathhouse

 


"Chinese Partner" stills

    Director Chen Kexin’s entrepreneurial legend masterpiece (formerly known as "Mr. China") was set on April 16, telling the story of the "turtle" Huang Xiaoming, "sea turtle" Deng Chao and "fenqing" Tong Dawei. Under the background of 30 years of great change from the 1980s to the 21st century, the three brothers founded an English training school in order to change their own destiny, and finally realized the "Chinese dream" of "losing money".

    Previously released leading posters and trailers played the "entrepreneurship card", "from 36 pieces of turtle to 6.30 billion godfather" caused heated discussions among netizens, with more than 8,000 comments on a Weibo; on March 11, the film released the first production special "The Brother Who Slept on My Upper Bunk" played the "nostalgia card", telling the friendship stories of the three brothers in their student days, fighting in groups, soaking in bathhouses, getting haircuts… "Students are the age of hope where anything is possible." Chen Kexin said that in "China Partner": "Every boy can find himself."

In the bathhouse, Deng Chao and Tong Dawei "peeked at each other"

    In the bed-the-scene scene, the three brothers’ "sincere meeting" in the university public bathroom was first exposed, which evoked Deng Chao’s nostalgia for the hot and cold water temperature of the "Chinese opera" bathhouse: "A few of us boys hold concerts every day in the shower."

    On the day of filming, all the female staff members were "invited" out of the set. Deng Chao and Tong Dawei both "peeked at each other" in the bathhouse, and joked, "I really took a shower inside, and I especially wanted the director to shoot, but unfortunately it couldn’t be broadcast." Tong Dawei said that because there is a passionate scene with his girlfriend in the play later, "that is more nervous, I have to report to my wife, and it is really nothing for men to take a shower together."

    Both male protagonists showed off their figures to the fullest, and only Huang Xiaoming was arranged to wash clothes alone, "because the director said that when I took off my clothes, it was too much like a bodybuilder, and it did not match the identity of a rural child like Cheng Dongqing." However, he praised Deng Chao and Tong Dawei for their great figures, "the places that should be developed are quite developed," and revealed that "the two people were practicing push-ups outside before taking off their clothes, and I also gave them guidance."

Nicholas Tse


    "October Siege" has been on for half a month. Nicholas Tse arrived in the crew yesterday, not only shaved his head, but also completed "disfigurement" under the supervision of director Chen Desen.


    After sitting down in the dressing room, Nicholas Tse began to shave his head. Although he was told that it was likely to scratch his scalp, he still went his own way, "This is my first time shaving my head, please let me do it myself".


    Unlike his previous role as a handsome young man, Nicholas Tse was brutally "disfigured" in the film, with "scarred eyes" and "wind ears" in the form of a coachman, completely subverting the image of a handsome man.

Lin Qingxia’s upper circumference is plump, and Zhang Shuping testifies that "pure natural" (photo)


  The century wedding of Lin Qingxia (right) and Xing Liyuan (left) once caused a sensation in Hong Kong and Taiwan.


  Lin Qingxia was thin and beautiful when she shot "Outside the Window", but later she gradually emerged with two peaks. "Forever Lin Qingxia" also touches on rumors that Lin Qingxia has undergone cosmetic surgery or skin changes. Lin Qingxia is generous in the book. She admits to applying a maintenance cream to remove dark spots on her postpartum face, but says that "I will never add anything unnatural to myself".


  When asked about breast augmentation rumors, Zhang Shuping flatly denied it. Qingxia was afraid of surgery, he said, and even pierced her ears after marriage. "I don’t think she has had a facelift. Breast augmentation? No. Never."


  Zhang Shuping assured Lin Qingxia that "when the two worked on" Love to Kill ", she was very young and thin, but the upper circumference was already considerable."


  However, Zhang Shuping also persuaded Lin Qingxia to make many breakthroughs: "Love to Kill" persuaded her to take off her bra. "Dream Man" cut her hair so short that it made her cry, so the two did not speak for three days. "The East Undefeated" is between the man and the woman, which is a turning point for her screen. In the end, he also chose the most important look in her life, the wedding dress.

American scholars have found that Chinese culture contains five ways to govern the country.

Source: China Daily China Watch Think Tank

Introduction: From ancient times to the present, Chinese civilization has learned from others and nurtured excellent values that transcend history and keep pace with the times. Chinese culture pays attention to ideological integration, self-governance, inheritance and reference, seeking truth from facts, beauty and beauty, and integrates these elements into the way of governing the country. The rise of China will not pose a threat to other countries. On the contrary, it will promote broader security, promote greater development and help all mankind create a better future.

No civilization or culture in the world can draw nutrition from its own history completely; None of them can make progress completely according to their own ideas; No one can fully release the creative potential of the whole society and achieve complete social justice.

Marxist view of history holds that progress is achieved by actively solving contradictions. Resolving conflicts can produce the result of promoting progress, and to achieve social progress, we must first promote human liberation and social justice. However, social progress does not mean that the past history can be erased or forgotten; On the contrary, there are some ancient values that can transcend history. In China, the concepts of "harmony" and "great harmony" are such values, which are essentially interlinked with the concepts of modern socialism and communism. Driven by the concept of good governance, these traditional Chinese civilizations and cultural values are also advancing with the times.

One of the ways of the continuous development of these values is mutual integration, which has long been a feature of China’s traditional thought and Marxism’s China-learning from each other’s strengths and adapting to changes. To some extent, this explains why China’s Marxism not only emphasizes Confucian concepts such as "well-off", but also advocates the Taoist principle of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and even opens the door to all outstanding achievements of western civilization and other civilizations in the past and present.

From this, we can sum up five key experiences related to governance in the history of China.

The first lesson: ideological integration

China is the first country in the world to create a similar modern national model, which started in the Qin Dynasty and accelerated to maturity in the Han Dynasty. During the Han Dynasty, China integrated the legalist thoughts of the Qin Dynasty with Confucianism, and established a professional national system. The most important thing was to attach importance to good governance and the rule of law. These achievements predate other civilizations and countries by hundreds or even thousands of years. In short, whether as a civilization or as a national system, China has created a national culture to protect itself from disputes over the excessive expansion of the empire.

The second experience: self-governance

Mind your own business, or you risk being ruled by others. In this regard, it is an eternal theme to establish a self-governance system, constantly promote self-improvement, and even carry out radical self-revolution when necessary, but it is often a difficult problem. It is unwise to try to rule others, it will only erode your self-governance ability, thus endangering your own sovereignty and security.

Indeed, throughout the history of imperialism, have we not seen such lessons again and again? Moreover, we can draw another conclusion from the history of imperialist development: aggression and conquest of others often rely on technological innovation, such as a new weapon or new tactics, rather than China’s emphasis on governance innovation since ancient times. For example, Alexander the Great, the ancient Macedonian king, relied on his father Philip II’s powerful military power to March eastward to India, but he could not rule and control all the territories he conquered.

At a more fundamental level, why are imperialist countries, whether it is the ancient Roman Empire, modern Britain or modern America, ultimately doomed to decline? The answer is: on the one hand, they have never mastered the art of self-governance-they can’t even manage themselves well, let alone others. On the other hand, their motivation to control, exploit and even plunder others is often to make up for the defects of domestic self-governance and externalize their internal failures to others. For example, the concept of protecting private property rights is deified. However, in the "zero-sum" game environment, it is this "golden rule" that leads to the fundamental inequality between people becoming the norm.

The third experience: inheritance and reference.

We must learn from our own history and culture, otherwise we may lose ourselves completely. As Okakura Tenjin, a Japanese art critic and author of The Book of Tea, warned, since the Meiji Restoration in the late 19th century, Japan has hastily embarked on the road of total westernization. At the same time of comprehensive modernization and transformation, it has almost completely abandoned its traditional values and culture, leaving only a superficial thing.

Countries should base their own development on their own culture and values, otherwise they may, like Japan, first repeat the mistakes of western imperialist countries’ history of expansion and aggression, and then, when a new era comes, they will be unable to carry out reforms to meet new needs and fall into the middle-income trap and security trap again.

In addition, many problems in today’s era, such as climate change, pandemic of new infectious diseases and other increasingly severe survival risks, are caused by some wrong values and behaviors. If they are not screened, some countries may easily get caught up in them. Or they may wander around for decades in the post-colonial era, unable to express their true identity or build a truly effective governance system for themselves, because they don’t really know who they are and where they come from, and they are still vulnerable to more powerful external forces, including former colonists. They will cultivate a sense of insecurity in these countries and use this sense of insecurity to achieve the goal of continuing to control them.

At the same time, countries must learn from others and share what they have learned. China learned a lot from Marxism, Leninism and the so-called Fordism, and benefited a lot from the Enlightenment, the industrial revolution and even the development history of the global capitalist economy. But the most important thing is to treat these past experiences and lessons with a rational and dialectical attitude, put them in an appropriate position and background, and take the essence and discard the dross.

Article 4 Experience: Seeking truth from facts

No matter what role culture and values can play in an ideal state, no matter what lessons we learn from the past, the Chinese governance model has a law that transcends history: everything must start from the material foundation. Material determines consciousness and foundation determines architecture, which is an important principle of Marxism and the first lesson I learned when I came to work in China in 2010. What you see, hear, say and do should be consistent with the actual situation. In this regard, the development and progress of China’s governance model, both domestically and internationally, both in the past and now, have confirmed the correctness of this sentence.

Article 5 Experience: Beauty and Beauty Together

A rising and well-governed China is not a threat to other countries, but the opposite. The stronger and more efficient China becomes, the more it can reflect on its own historical experience, the more it can understand its own limitations, the more it can embody the deep-rooted cultural value of good governance, and the more it can treat other countries cautiously and support their progress as much as possible, because only in this way can it ensure wider security and greater development and create a common future for all mankind. In the past ten years, we have seen such a trend in the rapid development of the "the belt and road initiative" initiative, which is the only logical way forward for a country like China that emphasizes good governance.
