Upholding and developing Marxism in Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of Supreme Leader in the New Era.

  The most valuable and influential spiritual wealth left by Marx is the scientific theory named after him — — Marxism. Marxism has profoundly changed not only the world, but also China. Since the emergence of Marxism, China, which has suffered from foreign aggression and disasters in modern times, has achieved a great historical leap from the sick man of East Asia to the rich, and has ushered in a new great leap from being rich to being strong. The great success of Marxism in China has not only eloquently proved the great truth power and vitality of Marxism, but also greatly enhanced its influence in the world. At the same time, it has made great progress in Marxism, constantly opening up new realms and creating new forms. Facts have proved that Marxism and China in modern times are a community of destiny that shares weal and woe. Adhering to and developing Marxism is a red line to maintain this community of destiny, and it is our true inheritance of Marx’s most precious spiritual wealth. Today, we must learn and understand Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era from this theoretical standpoint.

  First, grasping the problems of the times, expounding the spirit of the times and leading the trend of the times are not only the reasons why Marxism has always had strong truth power and vitality, but also the basic history and theoretical logic of upholding and developing Marxism.

  Time is the mother of thought and practice is the source of theory. The understanding and evaluation of any thought depends on its grasp of the era and its characteristics, while the scientific grasp of the times, the trend of the times and the spirit of the times is the characteristic of Marx and his successors in the same strain in thought. Merlin, a famous Marxist theorist, once profoundly pointed out that the emergence of Marx’s great thoughts could not be imagined by even the most talented minds in the past, and its secrets could only be exposed at a certain point in human history. (Merlin: Defending Marxism, People’s Publishing House, 1982, p. 3) Therefore, to know Marx, we must know the era when he came into being; To evaluate Marx, we must focus on Marx’s grasp of the times; To inherit Marx’s spiritual wealth, we must adhere to and develop Marx’s standpoint, viewpoint and method of scientifically grasping the times.

  The remarkable characteristics of the formation period of Marxism are the alternation of two revolutions and the intersection of two ideological trends. Specifically, it was still in the period of bourgeois democratic revolution, but the modern proletarian revolution has entered the stage of world history and shown an increasingly strong development momentum. Accordingly, the classical ideological trend, which represents the ideological achievements of the emerging bourgeoisie, is in full swing, dominating people’s way of thinking and historical vision, while the utopian socialist ideological trend, which represents the immature state of the early working class, has also emerged, opening up people’s ideological space and exploring paths. With the great changes of the times, historical scenes are rapidly switched, social contradictions are complicated, difficulties and challenges emerge one after another, and the prospects for the way out are foggy. All the puzzles focus on two paradoxes arising from the development of capitalism: one is the coexistence of huge growth of material wealth and unprecedented aggravation of poverty, and the other is the coexistence of rich and diverse material wealth and one-sided development of human beings. Although various schools of thought have contributed their own thoughts, only Marx has solved the paradox of this era.

  The key to grasp the times is to solve the "question of the times". Although people have different degrees of perception of the challenges of the times, it is difficult to ask questions correctly. The urgent problem of an era has the same fate as any problem that is well-founded in content and therefore reasonable: the main difficulty is not the answer, but the problem. The problem is "the motto of the times" and "the open and unscrupulous voice of the times that dominates all individuals". (The Complete Works of Marx and Engels, Volume 1, People’s Publishing House, 1995, p. 203) In Marx’s era, "human liberation" has been called for hundreds of years, but it is an empty fantasy. How can it be transformed into a practical proposition of the times? Only Marx put forward for the first time with profound historical materialism that the liberation of human beings must be attributed to the liberation of the proletariat, "the secret of the 19th century revolution: the liberation of the proletariat". (Selected Works of Marx and Engels, Volume 1, People’s Publishing House, 1995, p. 386) The liberation of the proletariat has thus truly become an issue of the times for human liberation.

  It can be seen that the difficulty in grasping the times lies in finding a new class worthy of great responsibility. It is not easy to find a new class in the era of great changes in history. The most obvious thing is that the discussion on the poverty of the proletariat and the social changes it has triggered has aroused widespread concern, but it has failed to jump out of the narrow vision of bourgeois social private ownership. Marx was the first to see the historical trend that the proletarian revolution replaced the bourgeois revolution and the communist movement replaced the Enlightenment. Marx not only discovered the modern proletariat from the historical investigation of the three major European workers’ movements in modern times, but also completed the combination with the working class from the international workers’ movement organized by himself, and saw the historical initiative and creativity of the working class from the great revolution of the Paris Commune, thus establishing the idea of transition to a proletarian society through the dictatorship of the proletariat.

  Today, "although the era in which we live has undergone tremendous and profound changes compared with the era in which Marx lived, from the perspective of 500 years of world socialism, we are still in the historical era pointed out by Marxism. This is the scientific basis for our firm confidence in Marxism and our belief in winning socialism. " (The Supreme Leader’s Talk on Governing the Country, Volume 2, foreign languages press, 2017, p. 66) From the perspective of the characteristics of the times, we are indeed experiencing a historical scene similar to Marx’s life period, which is the "great change that has not happened in a hundred years." The contemporary world presents a situation of profound and complex changes, full of uncertainty, which makes people look forward to the future and feel confused. The common challenges faced by human society far exceed the consensus of human response to challenges. The opportunities for development are hidden in endless challenges. The common interests of human beings are divided in the highlights and conflicts of local interests, and the historical trend is hidden from time to time under the interference of many counter-currents and eddies. Open or closed, forward or backward, mankind is facing a new major choice. To answer the questions of these times, we must not be afraid of clouds, be good at seeing the sun through the clouds, and recognize the general trend of the world. Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era adheres to the Marxist viewpoint that judging the trend of the times must be based on objective historical laws, scientifically separating the historical trend from the coat it wraps, and promoting the historical trend by relying on new social forces.And creative application under the new historical conditions has laid a solid foundation for us to judge the times and recognize the trend of the times. It can be said that "Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era" is based on the historical changes in contemporary China, the scientific judgment on China’s new historical position, and the great judgment based on the contemporary world pattern and new order, especially the historical changes in the relationship between contemporary China and the world.

  The historical orientation established in the new era shows that contemporary China and the contemporary world are at a historical juncture of great turning point. An ancient oriental nation has a glorious and uninterrupted history of thousands of years, and a century-long humiliation of being trampled on by others and ruining the country in modern times. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), after a hundred years of struggle, it finally ushered in a great leap from standing up, becoming rich and becoming strong. This great change, which happened in the world’s most populous country, will inevitably profoundly affect and change the course of world history. The historical orientation established in the new era shows that we firmly regard peaceful development as the theme and characteristics of the times, that we regard upholding and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics as the theme of all theories and practices of contemporary China, and that we regard upholding peaceful development, win-win cooperation and promoting the building of a community of human destiny as the guiding ideology for establishing relations between contemporary China and the world. Cutting economic globalization, trade liberalization and capitalism, actively integrating into economic globalization, playing a major role in promoting world peace and development together with third world countries and emerging market countries, and promoting a fairer and more reasonable world order and the establishment of global governance rules are all pioneering works that lead the trend of the times.

  Second, establishing the people’s historical subject position with the modern working class as the core is the starting point and destination of all Marxist theories, and also the fundamental position of upholding and developing Marxism.

  History is always human history, and the key is who creates history and how people who are the main body of historical activities identify it. From the world view, in the final analysis, there are two kinds of identification: one is individual subject, which seems to be consistent with people’s experience, and human existence is first of all a living individual. However, the individual in the biological sense is not the subject of historical activities. Only by constantly solving the contradictory relationship with nature can the subject of historical activities be formed through the process of socialization. From the perspective of abstract individual subject and epistemology, there is definitely no objective law, and even if there is one, it is unknown. Therefore, the creative source of history can only resort to abstract human nature, or the so-called "overlapping consensus". From the perspective of political practice, taking abstract individuals as the main body of historical activities, no matter how grandiose, must ultimately safeguard the rule of a few special individuals. Second, to establish the people’s historical subject status, we must break through the wrong cognition that the people are the aggregate of individuals and the interests of the people are the sum of individual interests, and clarify the scientific nature of the people as the organic subject of historical activities. With the people as the main body, history has objective laws to follow, and it is possible to understand and master historical laws. It can be said that the opposition between historical materialism and historical idealism is fundamentally the opposition between two historical subjects; Historical materialism is the people’s historical view, while all kinds of idealistic historical views are ultimately personal historical views.

  To establish the people’s historical dominant position, we must solve the difficult problem of how people create history. Interest is the motive force of historical activities, and the theory of individual subjectivity and the theory of people subjectivity rely on individual interests and universal interests respectively. Therefore, the key to solving the problem of people creating history is to clarify the reality of universal interests. Marx’s discovery boils down to pointing out that in a society where class interests are antagonistic, the only possible realistic form of universal interests of mankind is the class interests of the revolutionary class. His research shows that history, especially the history of the French Revolution, shows that the class interests of any class that tries to lead the revolution must be consistent with the actual universal interests of mankind in one way or another. As a liberator, "this class is as close as brothers to the whole society, merges with the whole society and is regarded as and regarded as the general representative of society;" At this moment, the demands and rights of this class have really become the rights and requirements of society itself, and it is really the mind and heart of society. " (Selected Works of Marx and Engels, Volume 1, People’s Publishing House, 1995, pp. 12-13) Therefore, the people and their interests are always represented by the advanced revolutionary class. The only difference is that the revolutionary class, as the exploiting class, represents the people temporarily, and only the proletariat can represent the general interests of mankind permanently, so it is the only social force that can break through the narrow personal relationship of capitalism.

  It can be seen that the people in Marx’s vision are not a collection of individuals, but an organic whole with the advanced class as the core, the working masses as the foundation and all groups and individuals that conform to historical development as the extension. Only from the law of the contradictory movement of productive forces and relations of production, from the class relations and class struggles can we understand the people’s subject, which contains most individuals but cannot be attributed to individuals, and represents the fundamental interests of most individuals but cannot be reduced to personal interests. Establishing the people’s historical dominant position and realizing the real liberation of mankind through the proletarian liberation movement are the roots of Marxism’s powerful truth power.

  The Communist Party of China (CPC)’s mission today is not only to seek happiness for the people of China and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, but also to seek peaceful development for the people of the world. Not only committed to China’s own development, but also stressed the responsibility and contribution to the world; Not only for the people of China, but also for the people of the world. This pursuit of closely linking the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation not only with the great prospect of communism, but also with the development of China and the world fully shows that the Communist Party of China (CPC) people with firm communist ideals and beliefs have put an end to sectarian sentiment and narrow nationalism from the "initial heart" and are doomed to keep forging ahead along the road of human civilization. The Communist Party of China (CPC) not only has no personal interests of one party, but also has no personal interests of one country. It is a great political party with a real foothold in China and an open mind to the world. This lofty purpose and mission is not only a source of strength for us to struggle endlessly, but also a strong support for our strategic determination to firmly believe in the justice of our cause.

  Taking the people as the center is the practical basis of the supreme leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought with strong cohesion in the new era. The ruling concept of putting the people in the highest position, the people-centered development concept, the system design of adhering to the people’s dominant position, and taking the people’s longing for a better life as the goal of struggle have effectively ensured that all the people are United and United. In the specific implementation of the policy, while taking into account the interests of all people, we should focus on solving the production and life of people in need, and eliminate all the poor people by 2020 through precise poverty alleviation and precise poverty alleviation; Give prominence to solving the most direct and realistic interests that people are most concerned about, and continue to make new progress in learning to teach, earning income from labor, getting medical care, providing for the elderly and living; Give full play to the advantages of socialism to concentrate on doing great things, forge the heavy weapon of the country, and resolutely and effectively safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests; Wait a minute. It fully embodies the persistence and innovation of this thought to the essence of Marxism.

  Adhering to the people-centered development thought, we are embarking on a road to a strong country that breaks the logic of "national power must dominate". The characteristic of this development thinking is to regard the development of other countries as their own opportunities, turn their own development into opportunities of other countries, and achieve a win-win situation in mutually beneficial cooperation. The key to realizing this development thinking lies in not seeking hegemony, not being self-centered, not being paranoid about one’s own selfish interests, and not trying to enjoy the success. People in China know very well that nothing can fall in the sky, and all happiness in the world must be created by hard work. This is how the great changes and turning points in history happened. With its own continuous development and growth, China’s influence and appeal to the world are also increasing. "Twenty years ago or even 15 years ago, the main driver of economic globalization was the United States and other western countries. Today, we are considered to be the biggest standard-bearer in the world to promote trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, and actively fight against all kinds of protectionism in western countries. This shows that as long as we actively conform to the world development trend, we can not only develop ourselves, but also lead the world development trend. " (The Supreme Leader’s Talks on Governing the Country, Volume 2, foreign languages press, 2017, p. 212) China’s return to the center of the world stage is not only a major event that reflects the world trend of peaceful development, but also further strengthens the irreversible trend of peaceful development.

  Third, the scientific attitude of unswervingly pursuing truth and the theoretical character of being brave in self-revolution are the source of life for Marxism to remain young forever, and are also the necessary conditions for upholding and developing Marxism.

  The reason why Marxism can innovate constantly and keep its vitality forever lies in its theoretical character of self-revolution. At the beginning of the creation of his own thoughts, Marx proposed to embody the spirit of thorough criticism. "That is to say, this kind of criticism is not afraid of its own conclusions, nor is it afraid of conflicts with existing forces." (Collected Works of Marx and Engels, Volume 10, People’s Publishing House, 2009, page 7) This is the concentrated expression of Marxist scientific attitude. As we all know, Marx always made necessary revisions to his thoughts and works according to the development of practice, including the revision of the communist party Declaration according to the experience of the Paris Commune Revolution and the latest achievements in ancient social research. History has proved that "Marxism–Leninism did not end the truth, but constantly opened up the road to know the truth in practice." (Selected Works of Mao Zedong, Volume 1, People’s Publishing House, 1991).

  The theoretical character of Marxism is closely related to the historical mission of the working class. Why is the proletarian revolution the only way for the proletariat to complete its historical mission? In Marx’s view, "the revolution is necessary not only because there is no other way to overthrow the ruling class, but also because the class that overthrew the ruling class can only throw away all the old and dirty things on itself in the revolution and be competent for the work of rebuilding society." (Collected Works of Marx and Engels, Volume 1, People’s Publishing House, 2009, p. 543) While transforming the objective world, it has become the basic follow of the working class and its political parties. This has also formed a scientific attitude of Marxist believers towards Marxism, that is, they firmly believe that the basic principles of Marxism are correct and will not be outdated; At the same time, we firmly believe that Marxism should develop with the development of practice, times and science. This scientific attitude is the theoretical source for Marxist political parties to maintain their purity and advanced nature, and ensures that they will always stand at the forefront of the times in the revolutionary practice with changeable situations and tortuous roads.

  The Communist Party of China (CPC) believed in Marxism because China’s advanced elements saw the way to solve the China problem from Marxism–Leninism’s scientific truth. This determines the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s scientific attitude towards Marxism, that is, insisting on solving the China issue with Marxism, closely combining the basic principles of Marxism with the reality of contemporary China and the characteristics of the times, and constantly pushing forward the China of Marxism. This has also fundamentally established the internal unity of scientific belief and scientific theory, laid firm ideals and beliefs on the arms of scientific theory, and laid a foundation for remembering the mission in the practical practice of completing the mission. From the world view, it is to solve the unity of faith and science, and the unity of value and truth. The justice of our cause comes from science, which is not only a vision for a better future, but also a grasp of the objective laws of history; Our top-level design should not only have historical and realistic basis, but also be supported by scientific theory; Strengthening the party’s leadership in an all-round way not only has historical experience and practical needs, but also has the support of Marxist dialectical materialism and historical materialism world outlook.

  To realize the ideal and complete the mission, we must have a strong will, so we must consciously shape the revolutionary spirit. The Communist Party of China (CPC) people’s self-revolutionary spirit is summarized by the supreme leader as "taking the exam" on the road forever. We ask the whole party not to forget that the times are the authors, we are the respondents, and the people are the reviewers. How well we have done and whether we are competent or not is not up to ourselves, but is judged by the people and declared by history. This kind of judgment is not only severe, but also constantly updated. Only when we are soberly aware that yesterday’s success does not mean that we can succeed forever in the future, and that the glory of the past does not mean that the future can be brilliant forever, can we maintain the revolutionary spirit forever.

  This spirit of self-revolution of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people is mainly manifested in the organic unity of leading the people to carry out the great social revolution and the great project of party building that is brave in self-revolution, and insisting on promoting the great social revolution led by the party with the party’s self-revolution. The reason why our Party has a powerful motive force for self-revolution, which is unmatched by any other political party, historical group and sage elite, is because this motive force does not come from abstract moral laws or moral personality, but from the objective needs of all kinds of difficulties and hardships that must be overcome in carrying out the great social revolution, and from the inherent needs of the character that the Party must have to lead the people to realize the great social revolution. Standing at the historical commanding heights of the development of human society, we will not be intoxicated by the immediate success, nor will we turn around because of various risk challenges; Inheriting and developing China’s excellent traditional culture for more than 5,000 years, and shouldering the high hopes of the people of China and the Chinese nation, we will have invincible strength and an inexhaustible source of innovation.

Beauty cosmetics, the secret corner of 315

Text/zero degree

Product/node finance

The annual 3.15 party is about to begin. From 1983, it came out as "International Consumer Rights Day", and March 15th is nearly forty years old.

Earlier, former US President John F. Kennedy put forward four rights of consumers in the "Special Presidential Address on Protecting Consumers’ Interests": the right to security; Have the right to obtain correct information; Have the right to choose freely; Have the right to put forward consumer opinions. In the following years, these four articles have become the consensus of the international community.

So how is the protection of consumer rights? From the exposure of the annual 3.15 party, infringement also presents certain characteristics: traditional infringement is being paid attention to, but emerging infringement methods are emerging one after another, and the infringement industry is also expanding. But to be fair, this is not to say that the tort capacity has also "progressed" with GDP. It is very likely that, first, with the progress of society, consumers pay more and more attention to self-protection and their legal awareness is awakening; Secondly, there are more and more actions of trade associations.

The industry I want to talk to everyone today is cosmetics. Although cosmetics do not seem to be the "darling" of the 3.15 parties over the years, it does not mean that beauty cosmetics are absent from 3.15. In fact, influenced by the "face value economy", "consumption upgrade" and the awakening of self-awareness, cosmetics have gradually changed from optional consumption to compulsory consumption, the market scale has been expanded again and again, and infringement acts are also varied, not only in the well-known high-incidence areas of quality problems, but also in a laundry list of other hidden infringements. Today, I will take you to take stock.

We made a statistic. In recent years, the number of cosmetics manufacturers has grown steadily, from 4,216 in 2014 to 5,657 in the first half of 2021, and the annual growth rate of enterprises is basically within 10%. The steepness of the year-on-year growth curve of the amount involved and the investigation of cosmetics cases is far better than that of cosmetics production enterprises. Infringement, or the degree of infringement discovered, is deeper. By 2020, supervisory organizations at all levels will investigate and deal with 14,316 cosmetic cases, involving 204 million yuan.

A good phenomenon is that after 2018, the growth rate of the two curves decreased significantly, and it was negative in 2019, but there are signs of recovery in the near future. For example, in the first half of 2021, the number of cosmetic cases investigated by supervisory agencies at all levels reached 9,779.

So what are the "ghosts and monsters" in the cosmetics industry? Let’s look at the four rights.

/ 01 /

"Have the right to security"

There are many kinds of composition problems, and the moon in any country is not so round.

One of the unavoidable effects of cosmetics is whitening, and hormones and lead and mercury have immediate "skin rejuvenation and whitening" effects. But its long-term use is very harmful. The ingredients with low cost and high immediate effect have become the choice of many businesses.

In the general cognition of consumers, domestic skin care products are relatively low in price, poor in quality and function, especially the products produced by some small workshops, which tarnish the image of domestic cosmetics. Of course, this is not without reason. For example, some famous brands, such as Nature Hall and herborist, which are common in public view, have been pointed out to contain hormones.

Do you think this is just a relatively cheap unique behavior of domestic skin care products? No, as early as 3.15 years ago, there were many international first-line brands on the list of unqualified cosmetics, such as SKII, L ‘Oreal and Mary Kay containing hormones. The contents of lead and mercury in Shiseido’s skin lotion, Clinique’s firming essence and Nivea’s beauty-repairing day cream are seriously exceeding the standard; Lancome, Chanel, Estee Lauder and Y.S.L also have cancer-causing lipsticks.

There are many kinds of international brands that contain harmful substances. Do you dare to believe that the expensive French Lancome and Chanel contain animal oil refined from rotting animal carcasses? Maybelline foundation everywhere contains 16 times more lead and 20,000 times more mercury? Korean THEFACESHOP Toner is only worth 3 yuan money?

After the exposure in 2015, it is obvious that these enterprises have also carried out rectification, but there are still more or less new problems. For example, in November last year, some products of Shiseido and New Zealand Mystery were exposed to unqualified cosmetics sampling inspection; Last September, two cosmetics produced or imported by Shantou L ‘Oreal Cosmetics Co., Ltd. also showed unqualified.

These negative events have obviously affected consumers’ minds to a certain extent. Baidu, Xiaohongshu, Zhihu and other platforms can show that many consumers continue to pay attention to these harmful substances, and it is common to ask whether the content of certain products exceeds the standard.

According to our statistics, the gross profit margin of L ‘Oré al (OR.PA) and Shiseido (SSDOY.OO) is stable at over 74% all the year round, with low cost, which is a profitable business.

Small workshops and brands may also use "poverty" to prevaricate. Although they have chosen a wrong path, they can still use "youth and ignorance" to gain understanding. However, such as L ‘Oré al and Shiseido, such high-margin businesses and wealthy enterprises, can still do things that are shameful to consumers with good reputation. It can only be said that they have not enough sense of social responsibility and have stayed in the comfort zone for a long time, trying to self-destruct their future.

"The right to obtain correct information"

Wechat business’s exaggerated goods and false propaganda have been repeatedly banned.

With the intensive introduction of laws and regulations in China’s cosmetics industry, many problems have also been exposed in this industry, and false information has been repeatedly banned. From Taobao, some shocking propaganda will surface, and the data maps such as a white wash, a surge in hair volume in three days, and a three-day eye bag removal are ridiculous. I’m afraid similar products are not scientifically developed, but "one-click beauty".

Image source: an e-commerce platform

With the development of mobile Internet and the continuous innovation of business model, there are more and more brands in Wechat business, and there are various illegal behaviors. For example, Zhang Ting, the "goddess of Wechat business", and the makeup brand "TST Court Secret" operated by Lin Ruiyang, with the popularity of the founder’s entertainment circle, Ming Dow, Tao Hong and other stars as their platforms, Wechat business represented over 10 million at its peak.

In addition to being suspected of pyramid selling, TST has also been caught in a storm for many times due to quality problems. In 2016, Weibo named "Happy Zhou Yaya" said that after three months of continuous use of TST products, the face skin was rough, peeling, blushing and yellow eyes could not be opened ",and TST evaded the past with" skin detoxification ". Zhang Ting also said that TST facial mask is in compliance with laws and regulations, and the three certificates are complete … However, in 2015-2016, dozens of products, such as TST anti-aging series and edelweiss series, were ordered to correct by the Food and Drug Administration.

Look at TST’s slogan "The Royal Brand of Zhang Ting, the Queen of Frozen Age". The "Queen of Frozen Age" may be true, but let’s just imagine that it is known that the 100-yuan mask, which costs only 4 yuan, will be used by female stars who cherish their faces like gold and spend money like dirt, and will be used for many years? Not to mention the 360-degree effect of "purifying skin surface, hydrating and moisturizing, firming and elastic, smoothing fine lines and brightening skin tone" is somewhat true.

Coincidentally, Zhang Ting is not the only one. Driven by money and new business models, more and more stars have embarked on this road, bringing some products that they can’t use, but boasting how easy it is to use; Or simply make a new brand yourself and go to PUA consumers with star aura and beauty influence. How much of the information involved is true?

Although many Wechat business brands are mostly made in China, it does not mean that foreign brands do not infringe on consumers’ right to obtain correct information. For example, in June 2019, an advertisement declared that a French cosmetics brand such as "8 days skin is like a new life", "the favorite choice of celebrities" and "skin problems are solved together" was punished for the effect of fictional use of goods.

Sephora, Estee Lauder, Chanel, Shiseido, L ‘Oré al and other big names have also been punished for false propaganda, mainly involving the efficacy and ingredients of products, and unclear expression of parameters such as the origin and use of goods.

False propaganda and providing false information may seem to have little damage to the brand; However, the safety problems caused by false propaganda and materials and the mutual exclusion of consumers’ skin will have a great negative impact on the brand and cannot be prevented.

"the right to decide freely"

When will the small workshop stop bullying and luring?

It’s the 1920s. Is there still the problem of consumption freedom? Yes For example, the problem of buying and selling hard has been repeatedly banned. In August last year, some consumers complained about Shuixi International Health Center on the complaint of black cats. In the name of experience, they invited consumers into the store to continue to promote cosmetics and smeared things on their faces. Consumers wanted to leave, and the merchants said that they had to pay to leave, but the cosmetics that consumers had no choice but to buy had no logo.

What’s more, during the period of strong buying and selling, merchants also confiscated mobile phones, as shown below. It is not a case that the appearance of "coercion and inducement" appears in an irregular organization.

Image source: Legal Consultation Center

This kind of violation of consumers’ freedom often occurs in offline and informal small and micro beauty salons, and in the name of experience, the "three noes" cosmetics made by themselves or purchased at low prices are sold. For online, with the deepening of consumer rights protection, in the past two years, as long as it is purchased through formal channels, except for special goods, there are fewer and fewer goods that do not accept returns for seven days without reason.

"Have the right to put forward consumer opinions"

Praise returns are endless, and false comments mislead consumers.

As consumers continue to be valued, the channels for consumers to speak are also rising, and everything is available online and offline. If you have any opinions on consumer goods, you can go to the Quality Supervision Bureau, the Food and Drug Administration, the Consumers Association and other regulatory authorities to complain; You can go to Taobao, JD.COM and other shopping platforms to comment; You can also make comments on social media such as Little Red Book, Weibo and WeChat. In this case, will it be infringed?

Yes Consumers who often spend money on shopping websites such as Taobao and Pinduoduo should be familiar with the red envelopes with favorable comments and cash back. This behavior seems to benefit consumers, but it is also misleading new consumers by inducing buyers to make false statements.

Although Taobao’s "Taobao Evaluation Standard" was changed last year, similar behaviors were prohibited, it is obvious that similar pictures are often wrapped in our express parcels. On other platforms, there are often brand public relations to brush comments or delete articles. This is why so many whimsical cosmetic efficacy brands have received rave reviews, which is simply "voting with their feet".

coda

The road to rise is difficult, and it is done and cherished.

With the continuous development of new consumption, more and more business models emerge. Cosmetics are also marketed in various ways from offline to online, from Taobao to Tik Tok, from e-commerce to live broadcast. During this period, many new brands were born, which also provided a large-scale testing ground for the rise of domestic products.

At the same time, the violation of consumers’ rights is also "self-transcendence". For example, as mentioned above, stars may bring "goods" that even they dislike, blindly overdrawing consumers’ accumulated trust in the public, and finally they can only get back. For example, brand live broadcast engages in price discrimination, deceives consumers, and disintegrates consumers’ minds accumulated over the years. From quantitative change to qualitative change, it is hard to escape the consequences.

In the case of consumer infringement, there are no foreign monks who are better at chanting scriptures and have long been dishonest, and there are many international brands who rely on the international influence accumulated over the years to do many infringing things. For example, L ‘Oré al, in addition to several problems frequently mentioned in the above article, last year’s double eleventh ampoule mask incident caused various channels to fight with each other in preferential policies, and the eloquent "maximum strength for the whole year" and refusal to refund the price difference attracted tens of thousands of consumers to complain, and for this reason, it was "honored" by CCTV.

Although at present, international brands are still international brands, the degree of trust is not the same as that of that year, and the consumed consumers’ minds are as hard as ever. International is no longer quality assurance, luxury goods only have price. As shown in the figure, the revenue growth rates of L ‘Oré al and Shiseido both showed an obvious downward trend, and both were negative in 2020.

The China market is of unparalleled importance to many overseas manufacturers, and many manufacturers have benefited from the China market. China is currently the second largest market of L ‘Oré al Group in the world, and according to L ‘Oré al’s own estimation, it is only a matter of time before China grows into the first market.

For such an important China market, overseas manufacturers have not shown "exceptional treasure". With cultural self-confidence, the rising local cosmetics brands should not give overseas manufacturers more opportunities. In addition, domestic cosmetics have inherent advantages in controlling and responding to emerging consumption forms and adapting channels. It seems that overseas manufacturers are "returning" their rights to domestic products step by step.

After years of development, domestic cosmetics are indeed on the rise, and Polaiya and Hua Xizi have also gained a place. However, the rise of domestic products is not smooth. In the past, it was necessary to break down the moat of strong enemies with the poor trust of consumers who had experienced the era of "fake and shoddy" products in domestic products; Now, excellent domestic products have to bear the consequences of being destroyed by some unscrupulous merchants. Difficulties and obstacles, never absent.

When the tide of this country rises in the great era, there is already a cosmetics industry with high gross profit. It should assume more social responsibilities, pay attention to the protection of consumers’ rights and interests, and provide high-level products and services with a high-quality development posture. Only in this way, the company can obtain the rapid development of efficiency and market value.

[Those things in China] Deeply cultivate the confidence of the China market. Many foreign companies have increased their investment in China.

  China Daily Online, July 4 th On June 30 th, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Commerce issued the National Edition and Free Trade Zone Edition "Special Management Measures for Foreign Investment Access (Negative List)" and "Catalogue of Industries Encouraging Foreign Investment", which means that China encourages foreign investment to gradually normalize and step into the stage of stabilizing foreign investment by improving business environment and rules. China’s heavy-handed measures to further open up foreign investment have injected a booster for foreign companies to increase their investment in China.

  According to a report by CNN)7 on July 3, American retail giant Wal-Mart said on Monday that it plans to invest 8 billion yuan in China in the next 10 years to upgrade its logistics system, and the company will build or upgrade more than 10 logistics centers in China.

  "Wal-Mart will continue to increase its investment in supply chain logistics … … Provide China consumers with the freshest goods and the most convenient services. " Ryan McDaniel, senior vice president of Wal-Mart’s supply chain in China, said.

  Mai Ruien said that it was because we saw the future potential of China retail market that we decided to invest. The publication of the Catalogue of Industries Encouraging Foreign Investment further supported our strategy of investing in upgrading the logistics distribution center in China market. In the future, Wal-Mart will continue to strengthen its long-term investment in the logistics supply chain in China market to drive omni-channel business development and continuously improve the supply chain capabilities. In the next 10 years, Wal-Mart will invest 8 billion yuan to build or upgrade more than 10 logistics distribution centers in China market.

  Previously, Wal-Mart has invested 700 million yuan to set up the Wal-Mart South China Fresh Food Distribution Center to cater to the needs of more and more online shopping consumers.

  This Arkansas-based multinational company entered China in 1996. At present, there are more than 400 stores and 18 logistics distribution centers in China market, with dozens of new stores opening every year. Last year, the sales in China market reached 10.7 billion US dollars.

  At the end of 2016, Wal-Mart once again increased its shareholding in JD.COM to 12.1%, becoming the third largest shareholder of the China e-commerce giant. Since then, Wal-Mart has expanded its e-commerce business in China and started testing "smart supermarkets".

  "I think China will be a huge business opportunity," Doug McMillon, CEO of Wal-Mart, said at an investor conference in June.

  In fact, according to UNCTAD data, global foreign direct investment dropped by 13% year-on-year, while the China market attracted 4% foreign investment year-on-year. According to the Ministry of Commerce of China, in the first five months of this year, China’s foreign investment continued to rise against the trend, and the actually used foreign investment reached 369.06 billion yuan, up 6.8% year-on-year, and the growth rate was more than five times that of the same period last year, showing the strong attraction of the China market.

  According to the CNBC website of the United States reported on July 2nd, the German software giant SAP believes that the China market has a "huge" opportunity and will seek to expand in China. Headquartered in waldorf, SAP occupies an important position in the enterprise resource management (ERP) software market and is one of the largest enterprise application software providers in the world.

  Last September, the company and China e-commerce giant Alibaba announced that they would jointly provide cloud service solutions for enterprises.

  At the Summer Davos Forum held in Dalian, China, Deepak Krishnamurthy, executive vice president of SAP, said: "We believe in this cooperation model."

  He said that SAP has more than 3,000 developers in China, and we are also innovating together with China.

  Deepak said that as the second largest economy in the world, "China has great opportunities".

  Just in January this year, SAP released the "China Acceleration Plan", saying that it will continue to increase its investment in the China market in the next five years, including building a new ecosystem, deepening the SME market, increasing investment in talents and facilities, opening three new offices in China, and establishing branches in 10 cities within two years.

West Lake: The "curative effect" of unified management of large property is unusual

Property personnel are cleaning the rooftop of No.20 residential area on Huanggushan Road.

Jiuqu Bridge in Zone 1 of Cuiyuan.

No.20 Huanggushan Road in Xihu District, the rooftop of the old dormitory building of Zhejiang Academy of Medical Sciences, has become a "vegetable garden" that has been badly managed for a long time. The community’s repeated clean-up has had little effect and has become a "heart disease" for many residents.

Due to the absence of long-term property management, the chaos of "rooftop planting vegetables" that plagued the community has not been cured for five years. However, with the introduction of the "unified management model of large property" in Cuiyuan Street of Xihu District this year, the problem was solved in one month.

What changes have been brought about by the unified management model of large property? Has the happiness of the people increased after the implementation? With these questions, the reporter recently visited the relevant departments, residents and cooperative units of the street.

Unified management and co-governance: from residential property management to block property management

In the first district of Cuiyuan, where the big property is located, with the coming to an end of the future community construction, a series of future community scenes including the elderly canteen, the 4: 30 classroom and the people’s livelihood complex have been put into use.

Li Jinfeng, who has lived in the first district for more than 30 years, still doesn’t understand what "digitalization" is, but when it comes to life changes this year, he talks endlessly. "The new dining hall for the elderly is rich in dishes and shows calories. I heard that it will be upgraded in the future, and it can also display health information when swiping a card." She took the reporter to the filial piety parking space again. "My daughter said that this parking space can be booked with a mobile phone now. It is very convenient to see me."

We should know that the intelligent system of the elderly canteen and the "parking space upgrade" are all developed by Greentown Group’s subsidiaries and operated by Greentown Property.

Back in January this year, after the public opinion survey, Greentown Property, as the operator of Cuiyuan Property, entered the field of vision of the people in the jurisdiction. After moving into the first district, the Greentown property team and the community jointly set up a working group to jointly govern-in order to find out the housing information of the people in the old community, the members of the group went to the door to check and improve the information to make people’s houses correspond; When the handover inspection with the old property was carried out, it was found that the equipment was old and damaged. After coordination by the team, the public maintenance fund was used to complete the infrastructure facilities …

Soon, the execution of the community and the professionalism of the big property gained the first wave of good reputation. Since entering the first district of Cuiyuan on January 26th, Greentown Property has taken over 49 of the 52 old residential areas in its jurisdiction, with a coverage rate of over 94%.

Luo Zhong, deputy director of the sub-district office, told the reporter that in order to give full play to the advantages of unified management of large properties, the street has re-formulated the delineation plan for the property management areas of old residential areas-merging 52 old residential areas into 23 property management areas. "This is not only a change in the property service model, but also an innovation in grassroots governance." He said that property companies have become deep participants in grassroots governance within the jurisdiction of Cuiyuan.

According to reports, unlike the original property, which is only responsible for cleaning and security services in the community, 33 community roads, back streets and 11 public facilities outside the corridor of Cuiyuan area have become the scope that large properties should manage. "From the inside of the wall to the outside of the wall, the big property has realized the role change from residential property management to block property management."

Service sharing from finding a community to finding a property.

Five-year-old illness was cured in one month. Wang Danlin, the head of a corridor in No.20 residential area of Huanggushan Road, did not expect the "curative effect" of the big property to be so good. "Cleaning is easy to maintain, and it has fallen short several times because there is no one to supervise it in time." She said that many vegetable farmers are retired colleagues of the Academy of Medical Sciences, and they are often embarrassed to come to the door to advise.

Yang Lei, the person in charge of the large property in this community, combined with the actual situation, led to formulate a set of long-term management mechanism after the team completed the cleaning of the rooftop vegetable garden-launching regular inspections by grid leaders, resident volunteers, security personnel and cleaning personnel to prevent the "rooftop vegetable garden" from rebounding again.

Changes that make residents pay tribute like this are constantly happening in the big property management area.

The corridor garbage accumulated in the three districts of Songjiangyuan Community for many years is also an unspeakable pain in the hearts of many residents. "Complaints, posting notes, and the community also come to work, which has no effect." Wang Zhiming, a 73-year-old resident, spoke the words of many people. A month after the big property moved in, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, the garbage in the building was cleaned up. Up to now, 22 cars of large-scale garbage and 5 cars of building materials garbage have been taken away in the community.

Big property unites streets and communities, integrates the resources of units in the jurisdiction, and establishes five mobile teams, including engineering mobile team, emergency linkage team and service expert group, which have solved 856 old problems for residents.

Call should be, quick response, so that people gradually take big property as their own-before something to find the community, now something to find property. "It’ s as small as going to the toilet at night, and it’ s as big as patrolling security. Even when the old aunt coordinates the contradictions in the neighborhood, the property has even done the work of the community." Zhou Yujia, a social worker in Songjiangyuan, obviously found that the number of calls from the masses decreased. "The big property has become the first barrier in front of the community, the burden on the grassroots has been reduced, and the satisfaction of the people has also improved."

Multi-win situation: from extensive management to refined management

It is understood that before the big property settled in, there were 8 quasi-property companies with a total of more than 300 people in Cuiyuan area, providing services for old communities, and they could not share resources and allocate manpower. In addition, small residential areas such as No.20 Huanggushan Road and No.178 Xueyuan Road are composed of one or two houses, which are scattered, with many elderly people and high service demand. Due to the high service cost, they have never been successfully introduced into the property.

To this end, in previous years, the expenditure on various subsidies and security funds in the streets was about 20 million yuan.

After the big property moved in this year, Cuiyuan Street standardized the management of the old community, and at the same time handed over the major livelihood complexes to Greentown Property Operation. It is estimated that the funds will be reduced to about 11 million yuan, and the financial investment will be reduced by about 35%.

He Qifang, the person in charge of the first district of Cuiyuan, calculated the account for the reporter: "The original parking fee income of the first district was 1.8 million yuan a year. Now, through measures such as optimizing space, increasing parking spaces, cleaning up zombie car and improving charging standards, the property income has been significantly improved to make up for the expenditure gap."

"For the 49 communities currently settled, we only need 264 people to meet the daily management and service needs." Fang Furong, the main person in charge of Greentown Property, explained to the reporter that on the one hand, the personnel were deployed in a timely manner in the whole area, on the other hand, the company encouraged employees to have more posts and more jobs to solve the problem of property management in sporadic and single residential areas. "Employees who have obtained qualification certificates through skills training enjoy additional company subsidies, and everyone is full of energy."

In fact, as early as three years ago, Cai He Street in Shangcheng District began to explore the big property services in old residential areas, relying on the "Golden Butler" App to let residents enjoy convenient services such as newspaper service, first aid training and community welfare without leaving home. After two years of iterative upgrading, the "Golden Butler" property has integrated nine major scene landing services such as future education, future service and future health, creating a large number of "life service portals" such as e-commerce retail and community space.

Although the service forms are slightly different, there is a consensus between the two streets in exploring the big property model of old residential areas-through refined management and personalized service, a win-win situation can be achieved.

Reporter’s notes

Less than half a year after the big property was settled in, gratifying changes have taken place in many old residential areas under the jurisdiction of Cuiyuan-the property management is wider, the residential environment is better, and the complaints from the people are less. Why can five-year-old ills be solved? It is the embodiment of the advantages of the unified management mode of large property, a brand-new practice of "people call me".

For example, to break the regional restrictions, things within the jurisdiction should be managed, so that ordinary people can find people with something to do; Innovate service scenarios to enable the elderly to enjoy the convenience of digital life; Deal with problems flexibly and efficiently, and solve the specific problems that the masses are "anxious and anxious" … All the piles are based on the interests of the people and all the problems around them. The introduction of the unified management mode of large property not only hides the unswerving initial intention of the grass-roots government, but also hides life code, Hangzhou’s solid promotion of common prosperity.

The comedy "Fake Bodyguard" exposed the trailer, and Wang Terry Ada finally got married

On March 29th, the film released the emotional trailer and the poster of "Ace Partner", which revealed that the film not only has amazing action comedy elements, but also has a gentle emotional core.

Directed and producer, starring Wang Terry, Wang Luojia, and starring in friendship, the film tells the hilarious story that SSS Travel Agency, which was founded by three people, Wang Jisheng (Wang Terry), Ye Mingzhu (Ada) and Zhuang Zhuang (Wang Luojia), was transformed into SSS bodyguard team by mistake. 

 After seven years of love, I was on the verge of breaking up. Wang Terry and Ada saw the truth in adversity

In the latest emotional preview of "Fake Bodyguard", we changed the funny style of the film’s main theme and the cool feature of adrenaline surge, but focused on the hero and heroine of the film — — Wang Steady and Ye Mingzhu’s "Seven-Year Itch". They fell in love for seven years, and Wang’s repeated marriage proposals ended in failure. Ye Mingzhu once told the truth when she was drunk. In her eyes, Wang Steady had "no responsibility or responsibility at all". Wang Steady was also sad when she heard this, and asked the other party if he was a spare tire for her. This pair of tell it to the judge should not only work together against the villains in a foreign country, but also solve their own "contradictions".

Wang Terry and Ada’s wonderful interpretation of the role has also been affirmed by the audience: "Wang Terry has a unique temperament!" "Ada’s acting skills have been upgraded again, and the red dress is beautiful!" The contradiction between the two men intensified during the journey, and their seven-year relationship would end in vain. But when the disaster struck, they broke out with the unique optimism and resilience of the little people, and finally found each other’s sincerity. Although the bodyguard group is fake, their love for each other is sincere and they finally get back together.

This emotional trailer also reveals the deeper theme of "Fake Bodyguard", that is, in addition to bringing sensory stimulation to the audience, there is also a sincere emotional core. Through the conflict of the details with bright rhythm, the highlight of human nature on the little people is highlighted, and the audience can also draw positive energy from the film.

Wang Terry Ada’s incarnation as "Ace Partner" has received rave reviews.

Along with the emotional notice, there is also a poster of "Ace Partner", in which Wang Terry in a white suit and Ada in a red skirt stand with guns, which is quite the temperament of ace bodyguards. On weekdays, the two often open the "mutual mode", but when one party is in danger, the other party will not hesitate to step forward.

Years of affection made them feel the same, cooperate tacitly, and finally become each other’s "ace partner", turning the tables against the wind and turning their own destiny by hand. With the plot elements of small fights, it also pokes many viewers’ points. In addition, with the blessing of big scenes such as the big bang, racing to escape, gun battles, etc., the high-burning and exciting style left a deep impression on people. The comedy plot interspersed among them, through the continuous "misplaced laughter" and the wonderful play of the actors, also greatly enhanced the visibility of the film. And in such a delicate and beautiful shell, the most authentic and simple emotional core is wrapped, which is one of the secrets of the "Fake Bodyguard" to get rave reviews.


Many people don’t know whether fermented food is good or not.

What do you think of when it comes to fermentation? Is it "notorious" stinky tofu or sour and delicious sauerkraut? Of course, we can’t help but mention "hairy tofu", a traditional famous dish in Anhui.

"Fermentation", a name that sounds mysterious, actually has a very high usage rate in daily life. For example, steamed buns made by yeast fermentation, yogurt and pickles made by lactic acid bacteria fermentation, fermented bean curd made by mold fermentation and so on.

Image material source SOOGIF

Fermented food is a kind of food with unique flavor, which is processed by some special microorganisms. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 5000 kinds of fermented foods (including drinks) in the world.

A study in the United States (IF: 41.58) suggested that eating other fermented foods such as yogurt, fermented cheese, vegetable brine drinks or pickles can not only enrich the diversity of flora in the human intestine, but also reduce the inflammatory markers in the human body.

The International Association of Probiotics and Probiotics (ISAPP) also shows that besides the nutrition of food raw materials, the activities of related microorganisms during fermentation can also improve the nutritional value of food or produce bioactive substances, which interact with human intestinal flora and immune system. Food fermentation can also remove toxic or anti-nutritional components from raw materials and improve food safety and nutritional quality.

It is worth noting that at present, except dairy products, few other foods have been randomized controlled trials (RCT) to verify their benefits to human health. Many studies have proved that yogurt has a positive impact on human health, and the evidence that some fermented foods promote health is mainly limited to chemical analysis and animal/cell culture models.

Original image source: NAT Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol.2021; 18(3):196-208.

Most lactic acid bacteria, yeasts and filamentous fungi used in food fermentation are non-pathogenic and will not produce toxins or harmful end products.

However, in the process of fermentation, there are many uncontrollable factors that may affect food safety. For example, in the fermentation process of fermented bean curd, if the hygiene is not up to standard or the operation is not standardized, and the fermented bean curd is polluted by miscellaneous bacteria, it may cause the fermented bean curd to stink and affect the safety and quality.

In addition, cheese, meat, vegetables and wine fermented by lactic acid bacteria will produce histamine, tyramine and other biogenic amines. For people with histamine intolerance, excessive intake may lead to migraine, increased heart rate, rhinitis and runny nose.

At present, most countries do not explicitly recommend fermented foods, except India, which encourages pregnant women to eat more fermented foods. It is suggested that while diversifying the diet, residents’ dietary guidelines should be taken as a reference, and the characteristics of fermented food should be adjusted, for example:

The guide suggests:

On average, 300g of liquid milk and more than 25g of soybeans are supplemented every day, or a considerable amount of milk/soybean products.

Because alcohol and high salt are inherent components of some fermented foods, it is not advisable to take too much from the health point of view.

The guide suggests:

The daily alcohol intake of adult men is not more than 25g, and that of women is not more than 15g;; Salt per capita does not exceed 6g per day.

To sum up, when choosing high-salt fermented food, it is best to use it instead of salt as seasoning, or other diets should be as light as possible.

tea leaves

Fermented tea is a kind of tea making technology. The common green tea in daily life is unfermented tea, while black tea and oolong tea are fully fermented tea and semi-fermented tea respectively.

In the process of fermentation, the chemical substances in tea changed, and the tea was gradually mild, reducing the irritation to the stomach.

fermented bean curd

Sufu, douchi, soybean paste and soy sauce are also called the four traditional fermented bean products in China. Fermented bean curd contains vitamins B2 and B12 which are lacking in many plant foods. Vegetarian people can supplement vitamin B by eating sufu in moderation.

It is worth noting that the salt content of sufu is relatively high, so it is not recommended for patients with hypertension to eat more, or sufu can be used instead of other salty condiments.

Brewing vinegar

Vinegar is made from grains containing starch, such as sorghum and wheat, through a series of fermentation processes. Acetic acid will be produced in the fermentation process, accompanied by a faint fragrance.

When the appetite is poor or the taste and digestive function of the elderly decline, adding vinegar during cooking can not only improve the flavor of food, increase appetite, but also help digestion.

natto

Natto is full of nutrition, and the content of protein, vitamin B2, calcium and iron in every 100g of natto is higher than that of cooked soybean. Moreover, natto also has unique nattokinase, which has preventive and adjuvant therapeutic effects on myocardial infarction, cerebral thrombosis and other diseases.

However, at present, most of them are in vitro experiments and animal experiments, and whether it is effective for human body needs further study.

summary

Fermented food has certain benefits to human body, but it doesn’t need to be sought after too much;

The effect of yogurt on human health has been verified by many studies, and some other fermented foods need further study.

It is suggested that the diet should be diversified, the general principle of healthy diet should be grasped, and the intake of alcohol or high-salt fermented food should be paid attention to; Cultivate the good habit of checking the food ingredient list when buying;

At present, most of the regular fermented foods on the market have strict quality control and management and are safe. What needs to be careful is the possible microbial pollution caused by home-made fermented food.

Make sense of food

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, June 28th: Standardize the management and use of medals, medals and commemorative medals, and safeguard the honor, authority and seriousness of the party and state’s meritorious service — — The person in charge of the office of the Party and State Meritorious Honor Commendation Committee answered a reporter’s question on the Measures for the Administration of Medals, Medals and Commemorative Medals (Trial)

  Xinhua news agency reporter

  With the approval of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Party and State Meritorious Honor Commendation Working Committee recently issued the Administrative Measures for Medals, Medals and Commemorative Medals (Trial) (hereinafter referred to as the Measures). The person in charge of the office of the Party and State Meritorious Honor Commendation Committee was interviewed and answered the reporter’s questions.

  1. Q: Please tell us about the background and significance of the promulgation of the Measures.

  A: Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has attached great importance to the honorary commendation of meritorious service and promoted the establishment of a system of honorary commendation of meritorious service with China characteristics. In recent years, the August 1st Medal, the Friendship Medal, the 40th Anniversary Celebration of Reform and Opening-up, and the National Highest Science and Technology Award have been successfully carried out. By setting up benchmarks and flags, a good atmosphere has been created in the whole society to see Si Qi, admire heroes and strive to be pioneers.

  Medals, medals and medals are important carriers and direct forms of meritorious honor recognition. Standardizing the management and use of medals, medals and medals is an important part of perfecting the system of meritorious honor recognition of the party and the state. At present, there are still many problems to be solved in the management and use of medals, medals and commemorative medals. For example, the size of the badge is not regulated, and the wearing position, quantity, order and occasion are more casual, which weakens the honor, authority and seriousness of medals, medals and commemorative medals to a certain extent. The promulgation of the "Measures" is of great significance for standardizing the management and use of medals, medals and commemorative medals, improving and perfecting the system of honor recognition for the party and the state, earnestly safeguarding the honor, authority and seriousness of the honor recognition for the party and the state, and giving full play to the incentive role of the honor recognition system for the party and the state.

  2. Q: Please tell us about the overall considerations for formulating the Measures.

  A: It is a common practice in major countries to stipulate the management and use of medals, medals and commemorative medals. In order to further improve and perfect China’s meritorious honor recognition system, the Measures focus on strengthening the following three aspects. The first is to strengthen the top-level design. Make clear provisions on the design and manufacture, size requirements, awarding and wearing, storage and publicity of medals, medals and commemorative medals, and provide guidance and basis for standardizing the management and use of medals, medals and commemorative medals. The second is to establish a clear hierarchy of regulations. According to the categories and levels of meritorious service and honor recognition projects, the size and wearing of medals, medals and commemorative medals shall be stipulated accordingly. Third, fully absorb and learn from the mature management experience of other countries, so that the management and use of medals, medals and commemorative medals in China are in line with international standards.

"Do something, don’t do something", Ma Huateng’s ESG report in 2023 talked about the decision-making of the big model for good.

On April 8, Tencent released the 2023 ESG (namely "Environment, Society and Governance") report. It is noteworthy that in 2023, the Standard & Poor’s Global Sustainability Assessment improved the ESG score of Tencent Holdings (00700.HK), making it ranked in the top five in the industry, surpassing Google and Meta.

Digital technology and artificial intelligence are the core competitiveness of Tencent to achieve sustainable development.Ma Huateng, Chairman and CEO of Tencent, said in the report that advanced technology is the foundation for Tencent to create user value, commercial value and innovative social value.

In the past year, Tencent has made many innovative explorations in various fields of ESG. In terms of environmental protection, we will continue to promote the goal of carbon neutrality, greatly increase the proportion of renewable energy, and continue to carry out biodiversity protection actions based on technology; In terms of social value innovation, actively promote the construction of barrier-free environment and apply digital technology to medical care, education, emergency support and other fields; In terms of technical security, Tencent has long invested in research and development while focusing on strengthening AI systems and data security; In terms of improving governance capacity, Tencent joined the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) in 2023 and actively promoted the green transformation of the supply chain.

Based on the above practices, in December last year, Standard & Poor’s Global also included Tencent in its Dow Jones Sustainable Development World Index and Emerging Markets Index, which also reflected that the effectiveness of Tencent’s ESG management was widely recognized by the capital market.

Core product "barrier-free+"

People with hearing impairment can also listen to music well.

"Technology is people-oriented." Tencent emphasized in the report that it will continue to promote digital technology innovation and ease social pain points by exploring innovative paths. As one of the earliest technology companies to develop information accessibility, Tencent has invested a lot of technical strength to help people with disabilities cross the digital divide and better integrate into social daily life.

By the end of 2023, Tencent has applied for more than 80 barrier-free patents, involving more than 40 products and functions, and its core products have been optimized for barrier-free. Tencent also opened four patents related to accessibility to the society, which promoted the common progress of the industry in the field of information accessibility. Among them, in 2023, Tencent and China Disabled Persons’ Federation jointly established a barrier-free joint innovation lab to help build a barrier-free environment and support people with physical disabilities and silver-haired people to participate in social life and economic activities on an equal footing.

Tencent used the game vibration tactile feedback system developed in Peace Elite to help visually impaired people better interact with touch-screen mobile phones, including creating a six-point Braille vibration solution with partners, and further applying it in sogou input method, Tencent map, Tianqi chess and other products. Take Tencent Map as an example. When visually impaired people go off-course, the functions of "Walking Navigation Route Deviation Correction Function" and "Bus and Subway Navigation Vibration Reminder" will remind visually impaired users of the degree of deviation from the original route with different degrees of vibration feedback through vibration reminder and voice broadcast.

In solving the problem of hearing impairment, in 2023, Teana Action further launched the "Tencent Teana Remote Listening Service Platform", relying on Tencent.Teana audio AI technology enables hearing-impaired people to complete the remote fitting of hearing AIDS at home through Tencent conference, which helps to improve the imbalance of fitting resources between regions and accelerate the popularization of hearing AIDS. At the same time, QQ music uses techniques such as sound companion separation, artificial intelligence music generation, accompaniment adaptation, etc., without destroying or changing the melody of the original song, so that people with medium and high frequency hearing loss can also hear the song and enjoy the integrity and beauty of the music.

In terms of supporting the digital rights and interests of people with physical disabilities, Tencent has also introduced several solutions based on technologies such as voice-text conversion, OCR image reading, eye movement input, etc. Users with physical disabilities can operate computers to complete input through eye movement and gaze. For individual businesses with physical disabilities, Tencent has also launched a series of support measures, including digital business training, giving barrier-free business tools, exclusive free insurance and exclusive customer service.

100,000 women benefit.

Screening for two cancers entered 13 low-resource areas.

While paying attention to the barrier-free protection for the disadvantaged, the report also mentions solutions to other social problems. In terms of digital medical care, Tencent continues to explore the development of inclusive medical care. Based on medical image AI  With the accumulation of identification and processing technology, Tencent has developed a "medical imaging platform for finding shadows and intelligence" and a number of auxiliary diagnosis systems, which have supported the inclusive large-scale screening and timely treatment of some diseases at the social level.

Advanced auxiliary diagnosis technology effectively reduces the cost of large-scale screening and diagnosis and treatment of some diseases. Taking cervical cancer and breast cancer as examples, with the help of AI-assisted diagnosis and other technologies, in 2023, we invested resources to help carry out large-scale screening and diagnosis of "two cancers" for about 100,000 school-age women in 13 pilot areas with low medical resources. In addition, "glaucoma AI-assisted diagnosis" identifies the risk of suspected glaucoma-like fundus manifestations by learning and analyzing tens of thousands of fundus photo data. In clinical experiments, the software significantly reduces the average detection time cost, effectively reduces the missed diagnosis rate of glaucoma by 20%, and reduces the misdiagnosis rate by 2%, which provides an effective and fast way for glaucoma screening.

In addition, in 2023, Tencent released a large medical model based on the self-developed basic model "Tencent Mixed Element", which can be applied to the multi-scene product matrix such as intelligent question and answer, family doctor assistant, digital medical imaging platform, etc. These products can be embedded in the whole process of medical treatment, and help improve the level and quality of medical services in application scenarios such as department guidance, doctor recommendation, pre-consultation, doctor-patient dialogue, automatic medical record generation and intelligent hospital customer service.

At the same time, in the face of sudden disasters, Tencent also helps social organizations to build a basic platform for disaster emergency rescue and a disaster early warning platform with information technology capabilities, and works together in earthquake early warning, snowstorm rescue and AED rescue to help improve the success rate of emergency support. Among them, Tencent and Sichuan Earthquake Administration launched the WeChat earthquake warning function, and quickly pushed the earthquake warning through WeChat, so that everyone can receive accurate earthquake warning information in time, quickly avoid risks and effectively deal with natural disasters.

In terms of digital public welfare, relying on digital technology and transparent and credible mechanism, Tencent public welfare platform continuously improves donor services and strengthens "transparent" public welfare. Take the 9-year-old "99 Public Welfare Day" as an example. In 2023 alone, more than 65 million people donated more than 3.8 billion donations.

First launch of "natural risk assessment"

AI energy-saving module helps energy-saving optimization

In addition to showing concern for "people", the report also mentions the protection of "nature".

"We continue to promote the carbon-neutral plan and achieve emission reduction through energy management. Our fourth-generation data center technology T-block can improve the energy efficiency of data centers, and at the same time, we promote the transformation of renewable energy from operation and maintenance electricity. " James Mitchel and Luo Shuohan, co-chairs of ESG Working Group, said that in 2023, the proportion of using renewable electricity increased from 7.2% in 2022 to 12.4%. This is due to the increase in the installed capacity of self-built renewable energy facilities to 52.2 MW, and the purchase of renewable electricity has also increased to 600 million kWh, an increase of 166.3% and 79.6% respectively compared with 2022.

In terms of energy saving, AI also has a new role. Relying on the AI algorithm model, by integrating the changes of IT data, terminal environment data and outdoor weather data, the operation of each equipment is optimized, so as to realize the overall energy-saving optimization under the premise of meeting the refrigeration demand. Applying AI adjustment optimization technology can effectively reduce the PUE of data center modules. In 2023, we further expanded the application scope of AI regulation optimization technology. In 2023, the newly applied modules will reduce electricity consumption by about 5,000 MWh and avoid carbon emissions of 2,851.5 tons.

In terms of ecological protection,In 2023, Tencent launched "Natural Risk Assessment" for the first time.To analyze the impact, dependence, risks and opportunities of the company’s business operations on nature and biodiversity, as an important reference for the company to plan its future actions. In addition, Tencent’s "Bird Watching Jun" WeChat applet contains a database of 1,500 species of birds, tracks the location and migration path of birds with the help of GPS and AI image recognition technologies, and encourages the public to take and upload pictures when they find migratory birds, thus providing help for scientific research institutions to study bird migration.

As the saying goes, "Everyone gathers firewood with a high flame", and Tencent also develops green with its friends. In 2023, Tencent promoted the green transformation of the supply chain, including incorporating environmental compliance into the supplier evaluation process, promoting suppliers to use green electricity, and promoting the intelligent and low-carbon operation and maintenance technology of data centers to partners to jointly protect green mountains and green rivers.

Manage the "double-edged sword" of technology

AI development has done something, and it has done something wrong.

Technology is a double-edged sword. Especially under the industrial wave of generative artificial intelligence, Tencent has its own thoughts on how to make technology more "good"."Our technical and business teams will make good decisions before investing resources, and clarify’ doing something’ and’ not doing something’ to implement the mission vision of’ science and technology are good’." Ma Huateng said in the report.

To this end, Tencent is highly concerned about prejudice, discrimination, privacy, abuse, ethics, values and other issues in the field of artificial intelligence, and follows the principles of "knowability", "controllability", "availability" and "reliability" to set up an AI technical committee. The areas of concern include but are not limited toAI big modelNatural language processing (NLP), optical character recognition (OCR), image recognition, recommendation algorithm, deep learning training and reasoning.In addition, data processing requirements related to artificial intelligence are also added in relevant specifications to ensure that comprehensive data control can be implemented, the principle of safety compliance can be adhered to, and a trusted AI system can be built to ensure the healthy development of technology and the protection of user privacy.

At the same time, by the end of 2023, Tencent had obtained more than 3,600 authorized patents to protect users’ digital rights. With the extensive and in-depth application of AI in social, advertising, games and other products and services, Tencent has further strengthened the management and control of third-party data processing, and completed the technical upgrade of network security protection capabilities such as zero trust, API security, honeypot service and threat intelligence, forming an active defense security capability system of "intelligence-attack and defense-management-planning". In addition, Tencent Cloud will also open some basic security capabilities to SMEs for free.
